REPRESENTATION of the PEOPLE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUV.
ofuer,tand that it is Mr. iiume's inten-
tion, after the holidays, to bring under the considera-
tion of the House of Commons the state of the repre-
ientation of the prop e. That the House of Commons
does not at present represent the people in the way it
ought is admitted on all hands, and as I believe that
we shall never enjoy peace and prosperity until the
people are fairly represented, 1 beg to offer a few ob-
servations, in the hope that they may be the means of
directing others who possess influence to consider the
most feasible mode of bringing about a change that is
so ardently desired by the millions. I do not know
whether Lord John Russell continues in the same
mind or not as to the Reform Bill being a final mea-
sure ; but. I should think the thing to be impossible;
at all events we shall soon have an opportunity of
knowing, and if he is prepared to oppose any amend-
ment in the representation of the people, I predict
that he will not be Alini,,ter six months hence. It
has occurred to me, in common with others, that one
great effort to get the people to petition should be
made, and care should be taken that the signatures be
genuine. Let every man, and woman too (for I
know of no reason why women should not sign a
petition)), put not only their names, but their ad-
dress,s also, and let care be taken that our enemies
have not the opportunity of again damaging our cause
by writing fictitious names, and all sorts of ribaldry.
It has been suggested that every constituency should
send a petition as numerously signed as possible. This
mode of petitioning would be more effective, it is
thought, than one petition like that presented by the
Chartists on the 10th instant, and I confess I think
so too, for the great number of petitions that might
he presented would be "sure to tell in our favour, while
the number of signatures would probably be greater
also. As it must be the desire of all friends of the
people that their cause should triumph by peaceable
means, I have thought it my duty to make the above
remarks, and I am sure I need make no further
apology for troubling you who have advocated the
cause with so much ability.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN ELECTOR of the TOWER HAMLETS.

FORMATION OF A NATIONAL GUARD.—EDINDURGM,
SATURDAY .—The streets of our city were yesterday ex-
tensively placarded with bills, calling a public meeting in
the evening, for the purpose of considering the propriety
of forming a national guard fur the protection of life and
property. The place of meeting was a hall in Adam-
square, capable of containing about 400, and, as may be
supposed, it was crowded on the occasion, many being
present from curiosity. It was announced that the chair
would be taken precisely at half-past eight; but none of
the parties connected with the arrangements made their
appearance till half an hour afterwards. This delay
proved toomuch fori audienceamtchleour.Ultimately, however,

poor creature was proceeding to her daily work when
the pains of labour seized her. It is needless to add
that Mr. Jaqutit's humanity, which should teach a whole-
some lesson to parish officials, forms the theme of uni-
versal'praise amongst his neighbours, and has over and
over again elicited from the lips of the poor woman
whom he succoured in the time of her need and travail,
prayers to heaven for his happiness here and hereafter.

CAUTION.—On Friday morning a gentleman called
at the house of Mr. Charles Grossmith, of 12, York-
street, Covent-garden, under the pretence of seeing.-an
apartment Mr. Grossmith had to let. Having been
shown the room, he requested to be supplied with a card;
he was consequently ushered into the dining-room while
the card was being procured from an adjoining rooin,
when, during the absence of the person in attendance, he
contrived to abstract a valuable gold watch from tie
mantelpiece. The watch was,tunfortunately,not missed for
some time after his departure. He was about five feet
six inches in height, rather dark complexion, thin face,
and a peculiar curve in his nose, or what is called a turn-
up nose. He was dressed in dark clothes, rather shabby.
ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, SOUTHWARIC—On
Saturday the contested election for parochial officers for
this extensive parish, after tour days' incessant struggle,
terminated in the return of the whole of the Liberals
nominated by the Rate-payers' Association—Messrs.
Adderly and Archer as churchwardens, and Arundel!,
Hawgood, Francis, and Rayner, as overseers; the num-
ber of votes polled on their behalf being 3,099, a ma-
jority of 220 above the Select. The Liberals fumed a
procession, which, accompanied by bands of music and
tints, paraded the entire parish in token of their victory.
SCENE-PAINTING : AN EXAMPLE TO ARCHITECTE,e---
The scenery which has betas painted tor Planiit.4's
elegant and right witty Easter piece, at the Royal
Lyceum Theatre—" Theseus and Arian& --,s pet.
tectly beautiful, and fills the mind of the spectator
with the pleasantest and most poetical notions. The
execution of it proves Mr. W. Beverly to be a true
artist, and places him in the front rank of his profes-
sion. He has caught the spirit of the able author,
and developed it worthily. The opening scene of
the ocean,—only the ocean, and quite calm,—has an
atmosphere which gives it a great charm; but that which
succeeds, as the vessel bearing the chivalrous Theseus
approaches the prt and city ot Heracliurn, in the Island of
Crete, is a triumph : the temples and palaces on the heights,
long arcaded perspectives and magnificent columned
porticoes, with the vessel and the quay, form a won-
derfully fine picture, and make us wish that our archi-
tects would take some lessons from our scene-painters,
and now and then give the precedent-rein to their ima-
gination and see where it would lead them, and what,
unshackled, it would do for them. And yet the struc-
tures are Italian not Grecian—still less the Grecian of
the time of Theseus. This is a very common mistake,
and, in the present instance, a venial one. In a bur-
lesque, wherein Mr. Charles Mathews, as that ancient
architect Daedalus, gives reasons fur wearing, with a
semi-Greek dress, a pair of white-satin bear-riches
(shall we cull them, for ears polite),—to talk of an ana-
chronism is to talk nonsense, the artist may say; still,
the arch and other marks of a different age might as
well have been avoided, instead of being everywhere su-
perabundantlyN

who are highly esteemed and beloved by a large circle of
acquaintances and friends.—Plyetouth Journal.

post within the United Kingdom; the new regulation to
commence this day, the Ist of May.
THE BISHOP OF HEREFORD.—The Dean of Here-

Bishop of Llaudatt having posititely refused to insti-
tute him.
