THE NATIONAL GUARD.
The visit from France of the National Guard
Is a capital theme for the mercantile bard,
Who, with every good Englishman, heartily ernes
" Three cheers for our neighbours and friendly allies."
The National Guard, from accounts that are written,
Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain,
And wherever the good allic strangers have been,
They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen.
The writer of this being present, for one,
When the National Guards came to MOSES and SON,
Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show
As he wond'ring stroll'd through the mighty depot,
Not one of the visitors failed to admire
The shops set apart for the sale of
ATTIRE.
They noticed the mart in its business design,
And they noticed the dress, which they thought very fine.
At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow
(And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you know),
And every one gave the peculiar shrug
On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and snug,
Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won
By the elegant dresses of MOSES and SON.
After they inspected the prime
HATS AND CAPS,
In which you'll imagine some time would elapse,
And I scarcely need say that the National Guard,
On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard,
Such indeed was the case, and I didn't see one
Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON.
They next made thßeir
OOT way to the prime
S AND RIOS'S,
Which of course they had ne disposition to lose,
And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start),
They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart,
And I certainly thought they were " sensible Sirs,"
When I saw how delighted they
U were with the
FRS.
" Well done, Messrs. Moses ; well done," said each man
(I give the translation as well as I can),
And having applauded those winter affairs,
They looked at the
OUTFITS AND HOSIERY WARES,
Which goods pleased them well, as the others had done,
And caused them to compliment MOSES and SON.
And be it remembered that, after inspection,
Each one of the " Nationals" made a selection.
Many thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal aid,
With warmth is this public acknowledgment made,
And with this very view did the mercantile bard
Select for his subject the " National Guard."
E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
coats, which possess a peculiar cat and style, adding much comfort
tu the lit. E. M. and B. are convinced they will be much approved

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—At this moment the most numerous,
the most wealthy, and tEe most intelligent of our
county constituencies is seeking for a Member to
represent it in Parliament. The West Riding 0,
Yorkshire is perplexed to find a successor to the .e.at
which Lord Morpeth's accession to the Peerage le.:s
left vacant. No wonder that such a search shout
be prosecuted with heat, alacrity, and at the same
time fastidiousness. The largest district of the largest
county in England has a right to be scrupulous in
selecting its representative. The district which blends
the most striking features of manufacturing enter-
prise with the most imposing characteristics of terri
torial influence has a clairn to the services of no ig-
noble senator. But its title is ill-defined by the
boundaries of its area, or the amount of its wealth.
Though it combine the grimy and aspiring energy of
Leeds, Bradford, and Sheffield, with the less modern
pretensions of Harewood, Bramham, and Went-
worth, it has political associations which are
more precious than the opulence of its towns, or
the ancestral reminiscences of its villages. It
has been the source or the scene of the most stirring
election contests which are known to this genera-
tion. Before the Reform Bill had established the
principle of county divisions, the West Riding had
excited and distracted the great shire by the rivalry
of its own candidates. The election wars of the
houses of Lascelles and Fitzwilliam were more fami-
liar to all Yorkshiremen than the war of succession,
and on many of them had entailed a greater, but self-
imposed, burden of taxation. The contests since the
Reform Bill have been as momentous as those which
preceded it, as well when their result was to reject as
when it was to reinstate. native candidates; when it
raised Henry-, Dje_ degreek: above the
eatiary interests aristocracy, as when it
rewarded the public services of Mr. Cobden by ignor-
ing the many but less showy merits of Mr. Denison.
There is not a question of importance which has
not found its hottest battle ground and its most
summary decision on the hustings of the West Rid-
ing. Catholic Emancipation, the Reform Bill, and
Free Trade, have each received their brightest augu-
ries from the freeholders who met at Wakefield.
A constituency of this kind may well feel embar-
rassment in the choice of a representative. Divided
between its historical traditions and its present
aspirations—between the influence of the county and
that of the towns—it may hesitate ere it decide upon
the man who is to speak and vote for it in the Impe-
rial Senate. Having been represented for generations
by the leading families of the county, it will be
warped by no illiberal prejudice against the aristo-
cracy ; having displaced men of birth and local con-
nexion for Henry Brougham and Richard Cobden, it
will be debased by no unworthy servility in their
favour. Its first predilections will be for a name
associated with it past history; its repudiation will be
of a name which is tarnished, or not worthily sup
ported by its bearer. In such a dilemma some of the
constituency applied to the Hon. Charles Fitzwilliam,
a very young gentleman of ancient family, long con-
nected with the politics of the Riding. The young
gentleman almost anticipated the offers of his sup-
porters by the readiness with which he embraced
them. He announced his intention to be a candidate
in terms which were explicit on every other point but
the profession of his political creed. This, for a po-
litical aspirant, was rather an oversight. But much
may be forgiven to youth, and much was forgiven to
his. Accordingly a body of self- constituted delegates
from different towns of the Riding met at Normanton
to extract a more open and direct avowal of his creed,
and to tender to his inexperience a few admonitory
suggestions. His reply was couched in language
which expressed the conflict of modesty with caution.
He was exhorted to give his votes for economical
reform. This elicits a curious but cautious response :
" Economy is a thing so universally acknowledged(?)
that it did not seem to me necessary to mention it in
my address." He was solicited to vote for a gradual
extension of the suffrage. He is obscure in his reply
to this ; but pleads the obscurity of his interrogators.
" With regard to the extension of the suffrage," he
write 3, the question concerning it, as put in the re-
solution, was so ambiguous that I did not see how to
give a decided answer, and did not wish to mislead
by a decided one." Accordingly, he gives no answer
at all. But the crowning question was (of course) a
religious question. The Normanton delegates were
mortally atraid lest Ireland should be pacified through
the agency of mammon. So they made their adhe-
rence to the Fitzwilliam colours dependent on the
youthful candidate's pledge tct,resist any further en-
dowment of religion by the State ; in other words to
vote against the endowment of the Irish Catholic
Church. But they got nothing by their motion. The
discretion of the aspirant assumes the garb of the
most amiable, but at the same time provoking diffi-
dence. " The most important of the four questions
adverted to is one that has been scarcely mentioned
in Parliament ;:it would therefore be hardly respectful
to the public, were I, at the commencement of my
political life, to hazard an opinion on a subject which
has never been calmly and considerately discussed by
the public." Was there ever ingenuous candour so
tender and so discreet as this ? Yet, strange to say
it satisfied not the delegates at Normanton. Some
said the reply was vague ; others that it was childish ;
and others there were who cherished the conviction
that the Hon. Charles was "poking fun" at his
constituents. Of course this • was at once set
down to "landed" insolence ; and will, with the
choicest phrases of this memorable letter, be
kept for a future occasion. So the discontented ones
were convened again. Wakefield put on twice its
habitual gloom to welcome the angry deputation.
The Mayor of Leeds was called to the chair, and ex-
pounded how he had written to Mr. Fitzwilliam, and
how Mr. Fitzwilliam had replied; how he (the
Mayor) had rejoined, and how Mr. Fitzwilliam had
taken no notice of his rejoinder. Then resolutions
were moved and strong opinions expressed—all con-
demnatory of Mr. Fitewilliain's conduct, though no
three speakers seemed to agree as to the gist of his
offence. Some thought he ought to have said more
about Free Trade,'others thatthere was nothing to be
said about it; some thought he ought to have deli-
vered a sentiment in favour
aofeaxt endtihnegmtshelevessuffrafaet,
but then they disagreed m
that extension ought to be. Tnhgen they all assailedw
the contingent payment of the Romish clergy,
when to their mutual surprise they found
they were not at one among themselves as to the
nearer question of the connexion of Church and
State ; so, in the end, having disputed and divided
one with the other, they unanimously resolved to do
nothing at present, but watch their opportunity.
Now, it appears to us that both the supporters and
the opponents of Mr. Fitzwilliam have overlooked
some essential qualifications in a representative of the
West Riding. The first should remember that a
vast constituency, consisting of great agriculturists
and great manufacturers, should be represented by
some man of political experience and definite pur-
pose. We do not wish to depreciate the claims of
an hereditary name and ancestral services. The
name of Fitzwilliam is linked with many a constitu-
tional battle fought in hard times against severe odds;
with Catholic Emancipation ; with Free Trade in
days when Free Trade had few champions ; and with
a long course of public-spirited
not independence.

canals, its collieries, its schools, and its unions—who
will bring to bear on a number of minute but not

the untitled gentry of the West Riding; and one of them,
we fancy, has already represented that great division
with credit to himself and satisfaction to his consti-
tuents.
CHRONICLE.—Though we are willing to
him
by ac-
knowledge
that Mr. George Carr Glyn, judging
by his evidence before the Lords Committee, is one
of the most candid opponents of the Bank Act of 1844,
we must at the same time pronounce his views, upon
the questions on which he was examined, to be rather
empirical than comprehensive. That the Act was
producing embarrassment at the particular juncture
when the letter from the Treasury interposed to relax
it, is necessarily conceded by those who, with our-
selves, regard the issue of that letter, under the ex-
isting circumstances, to have been political and bene-
ficial. In making this admission we do but acknow-
ledge that in this, as in all other legislative
regulations, we must look at the balance of advan-
tages, that every positive enactment whatever is
subject to the contingency of adverse circumstances,
and that, more especially in cases where the
exercise of discretion is to be regulated, we must
make our account to forfeit some part of the benefit
occasionally to be derived from its free agency, if we
are to be secured at all times from the dangers that
