AN 111. P. WANTED.

Who'll be a Member of Parliament? Who'll represent
the famed Isle of Wight?
These queries are being popped all over the island to
all sorts of persons, of all sorts of politics, and all sorts
of creeds, but no one answers, I will! Whence
this
backwardness in coming forward; is it caused by want
of cash, want of talent, or want of principle? or is it
from the sheer modesty of the properly qualified portion
of our resident little great men?
Will no one volunteer to represent the Royal isle—
the ocean's pearl? Mr. Simeon cannot offer again, for
he says in his farewell address that " a change of views
sl entire and decided entails upon me as an honourable
necessity the duty of returning into your hands the
trust which I am conscious I should never have received
had I been a Catholic at the time of my soliciting your
.suffrages." This, then, is a closer so fur as he is con-
cerned, and we cannot now ask him to retain his seat as
some otherwise might have felt inclined to do. The
only consolation that we have left is that if we are not
represented we shall perhaps be in a more fortunate
situation than many other constituencies—we shall not
be misrepresented.

STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE MERSEY
AND THE BRA2RLS.—A communication between the Mersey
and the Brazils, by means of large and powerful screw
steam-ships, is in progress, under the auspices and pro-
prietary interest of some of our most extensive Brazilian
houses. There are considerations which render the establish-
ment of such an enterprise an occurrence, at the present
moment, of peculiar value. Probably three-fourths of the
commerce carried on between this country and the Brazils is
conducted by Liverpool merchants and Liverpool capital.
The formation of an independent line from Liverpool is also
import int in order to protect the interests of the merchants
of Liverpool from the rival power of Southampton. Gra-
dually, had no such enterprise been originated, our trode
would have been swept into other channels; and not only a
direct, but a subsidiary, loss would have been sustained, in-
asmuch as every cargo diverted from Liverpool would not
only be so much loss to us, but would be gain to ports
which subsequently would exert their growing powers to
our subversion. The line will consist of at least three steam-
ships, built of iron, by the masters of the craft, of large ton-
nage and steam-power, and moulded on the most approved
principles.—Liverpool Albion.

THE NIGHTINGALE.—This bird arrives in England
somewhere about the middle of April. The males, as i
the case of the blackcap, come several days before thne
fema es; they are very easily caught, and the lynx -eyed,
quick-eared birdcatcbers are immediately on the watch, so
that they may secure them before the art ival of their mates,
for it is a sad truth, that if a male nightingale be taken after
his song has won for him a partner, he hardly ever survives
in a cage—he dies broken-hearted.—Broderip's Zoological
Recreations.
