Mr. FAITHFUL presented a petition from Chiches-
ter, signed by 3,000 or 4,000 persons, praying for some
legislative enactment to prevent bribery and corruption at
elections, for the vote by ballot, and for shortening the
duration of Parliaments. The petitioners complained of
the extensive system of bribery and corruption practised
at the elections for Chichester, as well as at other places,
and of the expense to which candidates were put by the
adoption and continuation of that system. If no other
Hon. Member should introduce a measure to prevent per-
sons having seats in the House which they obtained by
means such as those described by the petitioners, he (Mr.
Faithful) would do it.—(Hear, hear ) He next pre-
sented petitions from the male adults of Leslie, and from
the females of Leslie, for the immediate abolition of
slavery, without allowing any compensation to the slave
owners, in one of which was a remarkable expression,
viz., " that if those traffickers in Africa's sans and
daughters insisted on compensation, let them he gratified
with the compensation afforded by British Judges in other
cases, and in the same way that was affeided to thieves
and murderers."—(A laugh.) He also presented a pe-
tition from the Chairman and Secretary of an association
at Hereford, signed in the name of the members gene-
rally, for an abolition of the annuity tax.
Lord A. LENNOX said, as one of the Members for the
city of Chichester, he was bound to say a few words
with respect to the petition presented by the Hon. Mena •
ber. That very considerable sums of money had been
expended there on elections was very true; but the House
would, perhaps, not think that at all strange when they
were told that there had been five very severe contested
elections within seven years. That was also a good ground
for an unusual consumption of beer—a beverage which
both the late House and the present one seemed to think
the people could not get too much of.—(Hear, hear.)
As far ss related to him or his friends, be would most
strongly deny that there had been either undue influence
or bribery—he sat there by the free choice of as inde-
pendent a constituency as any in the kingdom. He could
not agree with the petitioners in their prayer for short
Parliaments and vote by ballot, but with that part of
their prayer which related to the speedy and sure con-
viction of candidates who attempted bribery he most
heartily concurred.—(Cheers.)
Lord GEORGE LENNOX presented a petition from
B agnor, praying for the abolition of slavery, and one from
George Earl of Egremont, and other persons, against the

dred in the county of Suffolk, praying for the abolition of

praying for an inquiry into the state of their corporation.

named Robert Gourlay, complaining of losses he sustained
in Canada, and praying for an inquiry into his case.

. .
Mr. Alderman WOOD pr( sented a petition from the
freemen and cit wens of the city of London, praying for
the establishment of a system of poor laws in Ireland.
Also one from the company of Free Vintners of London,
complaining that the Justice of Peace BM, which was
before the House, as it then stood, would take away a
privilege they had enjoyed since the time of James 1.,
viz. the power to grant their members licenses to sell
wine ; and one from the market-gardeners near London,
praying that coff,e-shops might he allowed to be open at
an earlier hour than at present.
Mr. HUME observed that he had several petitions si-
milar to the one presented by the Hon. Alderman with
respect to coffee-houses. He trusted the House would be
disposed to look favourably on the subject.
Mr. ROTCHE said that many of the coffee-houses,
especially in the neighbourhood of Covent-garden, were
kept open for the worst of purposes.—(Hear.) He
hoped, if the House resolved to give the coffee-houses any
further advantages than they now possessed, it would take
care that these advantages were exercised for the bona fide
benefit of the public. With respect to the petition pre
sented by the Hon. Alderman from the Vintner's Com-
pany, he thought that company ought to he satisfied with
exercising their privileges within the city of London.
Mr. HUME thought the time had now arrived when
all such privileges should be done away ; if the informa-
tion he had received was correct, the houses licensed by
the Vintner's Company generally turned out to be :4 a
far worse description than others.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR concurred entirely with the
prayer of the petition presented by the Hon. Alderman,
for the introduction of poor liws into Ireland, considering
it as the only means of tranquilizing that unhappy country.

HO-USE AND WINDOW DUTIES.

dered to be referred to the Committee on the Beer Bill.

KING'S TITEATRE.—DONIZETTI'S opera of
Anna Bolena was repeated at this theatre on Saturday
Madame PASTA again personating the heroine, and, after
saying that this lady played and sung as well as ever, all
further praise of a performance so beautiful and so perfect
would be in as bad taste as gilding refined gold or painting
lilies. The opera was succeeded by the ballet of Faust,
in which both PAULINE LEROUX and the younger ELSLER
acquitted themselves with more than their wonted skill and
energy, as the general and hearty applause of the audience
testified. TAGLIONI, however, "la djesse de la danse,"
bore away the bell, as she deserved to do, easily.

HEALTII OF THE METROPOLIS.--The

indeed committed such ravages among all classes—the
young and the active, as well as the old and the ailing;
and althcugh the cholera was more dreaded, we are as-
sured, on the highest medical authority, that among the
higher and the middling classes the influenza has proved
the most fatal. The aged and the consumptive present
few instances of a recovery, and we understand that many
persons of strong constitution are now labouring und,r
dangerous relapses. A clergyman of the chapel of ease, in
the Hampstead-road, announced on Sunday last from
the pulpit, that he had in one week buried 100 of
h's parishioners; and we believe that the mortality in
other parishes has been nearly in the same proportion.

LITERATURE.

HIS TORY OF MORAL SCIENCE.

Mr. Blakey, the author of an essay cn
" Moral Good and Evil," which we do net
happen ever to have seen, has published two oc-
tavo volumes bearing the above title. They con-
sist mainly of notices of the lives and analyses
of the principal writers on morals and meta-
physics, without having upon their face much
appearance of that condensation, selection, and
arrangement v%hich we look for in histories of
all kinds. The work will, however, be useful to

His MAJESTY ill, we rejoice to say, entirely
free from any symptoms of either gout or influenza. A
gentleman, who had the honour of an audience with the
KING at St. James's Palace, previously to his departure
for Windsor on Friday, states that he never saw his MA.
JESTY in better health.

THE INFLUENZA...4H Leeds, and in most
of the towns of Yorkshire, this disorder prevails to a
considerable extent, but it is by no means so general as in
M mehester and Liverpnol, where it is said to be almost
universal.—Leeds Mercury.

The new Novel of " Godolphin" is variously
attributed to the pen of the gallant Colonel C--; to
a celebrated Divine, whose previous works have delighted
the world of letters—need we mention the name of th,
author of " Salad:6a ?"—and to the noble author of
" The Contrast." Whoever be the writer, certain it is
that no work of recent appearance is calculated to.create
so startling a sensation. A celebrated Countess is men
boned as the heroine of the story.

INFLUENZA.—This epidemic still prevails to
a great degree throughout the city, and must have had a
corresponding effect in retarding business, as it is ❑o un-
usual occurrence for a person, in making three or four
successive calls, to find each indvidual affected. In the
police establishment, out of 260 men, 100 have been
already seized, or two-fifths of the whole, which propor-
tion, if applied to the community at large, may afford II)
bad criterion of the extent of the disease.—Caledonian
Mercury.
INCENDIARISM IN CAMIRIDGE.-011
Sa-
turday last the inhabitants of Shelford were again thrown
into alarm by the cry of " Fire," which was discovered
•a be on the p'emises •ccupied by Mr. W. CAMBRIDGE,
but through the prompt assistance of the neighbours, the
fire was confined to the barn, the farm containing only two
small barns and a cottage, occupied by two families, who
were in bed at the time the fire broke mat. This is tie
eighth fire at Great Sbelford within four years.—Cam-
bridge Press. _

FIRE AND SHEEP SLAYING AT MIDDLE-
TON CHENET.-The eta•e of Middleton Cheney. in this
county, has within the last fortnight become most alarm-
ing, from the indulgence of malice to an extent truly
dreadful. On Tuesday night week seven sheep. the pro-
perty of a farmer named RICHARDSON, were stabbed and
left in a most horrid condition in a field ; and on Sunday
night last the lone farm buildings of Mr. JONES were con
sumed by fire. The corn, which belonged to the tenant,
was insured, but the farm, belonging to Mr. HOATIN, the
landlord, was not. This is the third fire committed in
this parish within six months, and what has lately been
done was threatened in an anonymous letter addre's •d to
an inhabitant of Middleton Cheney so early as February.
The object seems to be the dismissal of an unpopular de•
puty-overseer, and the farmers, alarmed for their property,
are actually endeavouring to get this effected.—North-
ampton Herald.
Emigration still continues on a large scale
from the port of London ; and the number of persons of
various stations in life, but principally consisting of me-
chanics and their families, agriculturists, and tradesmen of
small capital, who have left the docks in various
ships since the commencement of the year, for New
South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, Canada, and the
United States, has averaged two hundred per week. Two
American ships bound to New York, carrying out two
hundred emigrants, exclusive of cabin passengers, were
hauled out of the St. Katharine Dock the week before
last. The Ann, Captain Haan, left the London Dock on
Thursday, and Gravesend on Monday, for Hobart Town,
with ninety passengers. A great many vessels are now
fitting out.

TURN-OUT EXTRAORDINARY.—The card-
setters in the neighbourhood of Scholes, Hightown, &c.,
chiefly women, held a meeting, to the number of about
1,500, last Monday, at Peep Green, at which it was de..
termined not to set any more cards at less than a halfpenny
-A-thousand. Hitherto the price has been halfpenny for
from 1,200 to 1,300. At the same time it was deter •
mined not to take any more goods in payment for wages,
the baneful truck system being still carried onlay some of
the masters.—Leeds Mercury.

Mr. KEAN passed a restless night on Friday.
He talked incoherently of divers ladies, who had, he said,
appointed to come and sing to him—among whom be
mentioned Miss STEriums, whose syren notes were to
beguile him into sleep. Mr. CARPUS paid him a friendly
visit in the afternoon, and observed that be never yet saw
a man placed in similar circumstances with Mr. KE.as,
and with his impaired constitution, who survived so long.
A little jelly mixed with brandy and water, and a small
quantity of arrow-root, are all be has taken in the way of
nutriment for several days. He is surrounded with hooka
and newspapers, the contents of which he dips into by
turtis. An old friend visited hits on Saturday afternoon,
and tried to rouse him, by telling hint to cheer up--that
he would live to see brighter and happier days. " No,
no," he replied ; " those days are pa—pa—pas--paased
Floranthe —," forgetting the rem under of the quota-
tion. " Yet 'tis comfort," said his friend, in continua-
tion. " Alt !" said KEAN, anxiously, " 'tie comfort to
bring remembrance full upon the mind—'tis soothing to a
fond and care-worn heart to drop a tear upon the loved
lineaments of her I ne'er can hope to meet again." He
then said it was strange SHERIDAN KNOWLES bad not
arrived, as he had promised to come down, and sing all
his beautiful songs to him. He told Mr. CARPUE that he
did not wish to live, adding that he was past duty, and be
thought all men ought to die when they were past duty.
He spoke of his son CHARLES with great aff,ctioe. and
exprrssA his regret at his being made an actor.— Observer.
Mr. GUTHRIE, in his clinical lecture at the
Westminster Hospital, say.—" I do not know whether is
is advisable to recommend, with Sir Lucius 0' Trigger,
in The Rivals, that gentlemen should stand fair to the
front, in duelling, and be shot clean through one side of
the body, instead of making as small as possible an edge,
by standing sideways, and running the risk of being cer-
tainly killed by the ball penetrating both aides ; but thtia.
I do know, that there is neither charity nor humartiai lot
the manner of choosing the pistols at present aallned.
The balls are so small, that the hole they make is always
a source of inconvenience in the cure; and the quantity
of powder is also so small, that it will not sent a ball
clean through a moderately thick gentlenasn; it therefore
sticks in some place where it should not, to the extreme
die advantage of the patient, and to the great annoyance of
the surgeon. These things really should be altered, with
th., present diffusion of knowledge." _ _ _

admire that gentleman for his former Radical
or for his present Conservative principles ?
A straightforward soldier cannot admire him
for his compromising effort to combine an
opposition to Sir John Hobhouse with a
pledge to repeal the house and window tax. Indeed
we suspect that in this ruse the Tory faction, or
rather Lord Lowther, who is the presiding
genius of Mr. Escott's party, has gone too far.
Cunning men generally overshoot their mark :
"they go too near the sands to show their wit."
And besides, in this instance Lord Lowther is
somewhat out of his element,—he is a man of
business, and certainly not deficient in shrewd-
ness and activity ; and if the object had been to
choose a good jockey, or a smart danseuse,
people might fairly have trusted to his Lordship's
judgment, after, of course, making due allowance
for that possible bias which might unconsciously
influence even the most disinterested better at
Newmarket, and the most platonic frequenter
of the saloons. But what judgment can this
shrewd and active nobleman have of the quali-
ties necessary to constitute an independent
Member of Parliament ? and will ever the Tories
of Westminster say that they are content to take
their representative from the hands of Lord
Lowther ? We suppose we shall have the

The poor fellow was hanged some years ago.

There is an article in the last number of the
Edinburgh Review, entitled ", Progress of the
People—the Periodical Press," wherein the
author adopts for his text the success of certain
weekly publications of great though sundry sorts
of merit,—namely, the Penny Magazine, the
Saturday Magazine, and Chambers's Edin-
burgh Journal, but before he has done, turns
his back upon the professed subject of his dis-
sertation, and, after the fashion of many an Act of
Parliament, in contriving to run away from its
preamble, betakes himselt laboriously to dogma
!ize upon the ;elation between the progres of the
people, including that of reform, and the antici-
pated failure of a totally different department
of the press from that which he set out with
referring to—viz., the newspaper press of Lon-
don, It is doubtless perfectly lawful fora reviewer,
who comes before the public once a quarter,
to disparage, if he be able, all branches of the pe-
riodical and political literature of the country
but his own. It would unquestionably much
enhance the value of Edinburgh Reviews, as
well as Quarterlies, Westnainsters, &c., if their
conductors could succeed in persuading the
people of England that those who write in daily
journals are incapable of uttering sound or en-
lightened opinions, and of exercising the powers
of excitement or restraint to ends of public use-
fulness. That the respective parties throughout
the kingdom should sleep upon their arms, and
forbear to think, and of course to act, upon any
oat question of national policy, until, at a
given hour, they should receive the cue from the
trtmesval oracles to which they had severally
bound themselves, might well be deemed by
those who achieved a transfer of influence worth
PO niggard price, A little craft, with a dash
lure and there of downright falsehood, would be
a trifling sacrifice for an object so desirable,
-which' so far as the nation was concerned,
would seem to have no worse effect than this,
that, to every solid purpose the thing called
" public opinion " must be. extinguished ; the
key, the record, evidence, and organ of that
opinion, which are now embodied in the jour-
nals of the day, being destroyed, there must
tither be, for many weeks, a universal bewilder-
ment and stupor as to- what ought to
be done or said in reference to measures
under progress, or a permanent sitting
of political clubs and unions—the most.
irritating of all sources, and dangerous of
all channels, from and through which the po-
pular sentiment could be conveyed to the
Legislature—would be established ; or, finally.
when opinion had formed, and pronounced it-
-elf, the policy which was the subject of it
would already have been adopted, or the occa-

sion for having recourse to it with the highest
degree of efficacy would be irretrievably lost.
This, in the eyes of some men, would be a grand
improvement. A spirit which appears to us the
reverse of an honest one pervades this ill-con-
structed article. No single newspaper is desig-
nated by name, so that the many-coloured de-
linquencies which are predicated of the metropo-
litan press in general, seem not to challenge of
necessity from any given member a suspicion
that the affront was intended specifically for it-
self. The real power of the newspaper press has
been grievously misrepresented, and from sinister
motives. It has been termed a " misleading"
power. Those who thus describe it assert, in-
directly, that the reading public has less discern-
ment than a very small proportion of the same
public,—namely, the half-dozen editors and
writers of as many dailyjournals. These blunderer,
allege something, if possible, more absurd, for
their allegation implies that all the newspapers are
in the same interest, and promote the same political
objects; when it is clear as the sun that by far
the greater portion of them are, one and all, sen-
tinels over each other's opinions, watchful of the
least slip in argument or doctrine, and prompt
and alert, from political zeal, if not, as too often
happens, from personal hostility, to disabuse the
public of what they would esteem the delusions
practised by their contemporaries, and to enforce
their own antagonist views. The press is an
organ of the sentiments of those who conduct
it ; it methodizes and circulates those opinions
which appear to the parties who promulgate
them the most reasonable upon every question ;
and such opinions by consequence are those
which appear most likely to prevail amongst, and
to influence, the people. If a public journal be
so blind, or so unprincipled, as to put forth
sentiments inimical to the national welfare, or to
the peculiar tenets and desires ofthat large section
of the reading community whose politics it sup-
ports—and by which it is supported—the crime
or folly is its own punishment. We can speak
with hardly less confidence for our contemporaries
than for ourselves, that, no matter how they may
differ from us, and from each other, we be-
lieve them to be each and all quite sincere, and
earnest in the political cause, whatever it may
he, which they are hourly engaged in promoting.
Nothing could be so stupid as the adoption of
duplicity for a ground of systematic manage-
ment in a journalist, except the suspicion that
it is, or ever can be, practically made so. The
mistaken writer of the article in question fancies
he gains a prodigious triumph over the press,
by asserting the decay of its public influence, by
reason of the reform of Parliament. If an '
illegitimate influence be what he means, there
is no doubt that such would be less likely to
succeed with an elective body constituting the
intelligence of the nation, and a House of
Commons representing it, than with a close cor-
poration of selfish usurpers, actuated by sinister
and sordid motives, to the disregard of all in-
terests but their own. But the truth is, that
such a vicious power never has been exercised
by the press, speaking of it as a body. If the
press had been open to corruption, it would
have earned the wages of iniquity from those
who had them largely at command. Had the
press been corrupt, it would have opposed reform.
Did it oppose rfform? But the " diffusion of
sound information among the people" is to un-
dermine the press. Was there ever such folly
vented by disappointed malice ? If there was
no instruction in England, it is plain there
would be no newspapers: the more instruction
the more support will there be for newspapers;
and, in reply to another spiteful falsehood of the
reviewer, we will add, that the cheaper political
intelligence is rendered, the more decided will
he the advantage possessed by those members of
the press which possess large capital over their
less affluent brethren in the collection and cir-
culation of the best intelligence. A catalogue
of small charges is brought against the London
press for its conduct with regard to the Reform
Bill and the Irish Coercion Bill ; they are feebly
urged, and of little interest; if we ourselves be
among the parties glanced at, we can de-
clare conscientiously that, were the whole of
both transactions re-opened, there never ap-
peared a syllable in the columns of, this
journal which we should not feel it a sacred
duty to repeat ; and such, we doubt not, is
the feeling of the greater part of our contempo-
ra ies. Those gentlemen who amuse them-
selves with crying down the daily press and its
authority, had better meditate upon one ques-
tion before they finally answer it ;—what is it
that has enabled the newspaper press to over-
power and supersede that mighty empire which
used some 40 years ago to be wielded over the
mind of the country by the writers of political
pamphlets ? No man has of late years consi-
dered the ablest and most successful pamphlets
as worth enumerating amongst the active causes
of change either in politics or parties, whilst all
are ready to admit, and some prone to
exaggerate, the operation of the journal sway.
One satisfactory reason, and one only, can be
assigned for it,—namely, that the knowledge
and talents which once held themselves aloof
from newspapers, and from the scanty remunera-
tion which they afforded, have now found con-
stant and liberal employment in the conduct of
the daily press, or in contributions to it ; and
-hat of the class who, under the social modifica-
tions of the last century, would have carried on
the out-of-door warfare of a Parliatnentary
season with batteries of pamphlets -running
through half dozens of editions, the - most
efficient members probably at this moment form
the standing establishment of many of our daily
journals, not only in the metropolis, but in the
remoter parts of England.—Times.
The most important subject before the re-
formed Parliament, and the most severe test of
its efficiency, is the existing corruptions of the
present representative system, developed in the
recent and pending Election Committees on the
disputed returns, and the application of reme-
dial measures to punish past, and to prevent
future mal-practices. The cases of Stafford,
Hertford, Liverpool, and Carrickfergus, have
excited the deepest interest, and the people arc
scrutinizing, with evident jealousy, the inten-
tions of the Legislature. The Reform Acts
were only a partial amendment of the represen-
tation. They destroyed the majority of the
nomination boroughs, and by the subdivision of
the places of polling, and the limitaion of the
duration of the poll, materially improved the
county representation. The gross number of
the constituency was also greatly increased, and
the boundaries of many of the smaller boroughs
were enlarged. But the modes of election
were left unreformed. Bribery and improper
influence were limited only by the increase
of the constituency. The lesser boroughs still
remain a prey to the domination of the local
aristocracy, and the Tories took care to neutra-
lize the effect of the Ministerial measure by the
perpetuation of the rights of the freemen, and
the enfranchisement of the tenants at will. Thus

A little foresight would save our Ministers a
great deal of trouble. It is a quality in which
the present Cabinet, as well as the one that pre-
ceded it, is remarkably deficient. The Duke
of Wellington saw little of the future when he
made his memorable declaration against all re-
form. As little of the future did the Whig Mi-
nisters penetrate into when they induced their
obsequious House of Commons to stultify itself
by rescinding its vote on the malt tax, and sent
forth to the suffering nation their arrogant de.
tree for the perpetuation of the assessed taxes !
If Lord Althorp had sufficient intellect to read
the signs of the times, and sufficient sagacity to
see but a small distance before him, he would
not have insulted the country by the mockery
of relief afforded by his budget of " tile and
taxed-cart" celebrity. He would have known
that such was not the relief that the country re-
quired and expected as the practical result of
the working of the Reform Bill ; and, knowing
that, he would have foreseen that the disclosure
of such a miserable scheme of fiscal reform as
his budget presented would have excited in the
public mind feelings of astonishment, ridicule,
and indignation. His Lordship anticipated nothing
of the sort. Though every financial scheme of
his has proved abortive, and every budget
has only exhibited new varieties of official
incapacity, yet Lord Althorp, strong only in his
own conceit, and unable to extract instruction
from experience, has proceeded from one blunder
to another, until, in the "tile and taxed-cart"
plan of public relief, he has attained the crown-
ing absurdity, beyond which we defy even his
genius to go any further in the invention of what
is pompously trifling and solemnly ridiculous.
Lord Althorp voted against the assessed taxes,
like other leaders of the Whig party, when out
of office, but he has received a new light upon
the subject since he was invested with the robes
of Chancellor of the Exchequer. He now dis-
covers that public faith cannot be maintained
without them, but, while seeking office, he felt
no such compunctious visitings with regard to
public faith. Yet his own former argument, and
that of many of his Whig colleagues, against
the continuance of the assessed taxes, still holds
as good as ever—namely, that they were ex-
pressly laid on as war taxes, which within two
years of the close of the war were to be repealed,
but which are still inflicted on the country, in
violation of the faith which the Government had
pledged to the people. That the removal of the
house and window taxes would involve the ne-
cessity for a property tax, we deny. As to
an income tax, we leave that out of the ques.
tion, as we well know the country would not
bear it, and ought not to bear it—a tax so op-
pressive and inquisitorial in its nature would be
an evil of so great a magnitude that it would
be as well to submit to the consequences of a
national bankruptcy at once. But a graduated
tax upon realized and tangible property, is a very
different thing from a tax upon uncertain and
fluctuating income, and the amount of which
cannot be come at, without the exposure
of an individual's private affairs. A tax upon
realized property is in the nature of a premium
of insurance, by which a portion is paid for the
security of the remainder; fur, if a convulsiou

We expressed on Saturday morning our wish
that the electors of Westminster might have at
least the opportunity offered them of rejecting
the renegade Whig on the one side, the intem-
perate revolutionist on the other, and of sending
as their-rtpresentative to Parliament an honour-
able and-right-minded man. Before night our
wish was gratified ; and the independence of the
borough was invited to manifest itself in support
of the pretensions of Mr. Bickham Escott.
This gentleman is already favourably known to
all the friends of the constitution as the author
of several excellent pamphlets upon the subject
of the changes to which that constitution has
recently been subjected. He has shown himself
in those pamphlets, a conservative in the highest
and truest sense of the term ; one who venerates
our ancient institutions, but is yet desirous to
correct their abuses, and to supply their de-
ficiencies; one who is not hostile to temperate
reform,- but is yet sensible that no violent change
can be effected without much of difficulty, and
something of danger. He is known also to
our readers as. having been a candidate for one
of the divisions of his native county, Somerset-
shire, at the late general election. Although
worsted in _ the contest, he may look back
with justifiable pride to the circumstances of the
struggle. In the midst of adverse accidents,
which might well have disheartened a more prac-
tised electioneerer, he went right onward in the
path of his duty with a fortitude which the
timidity he witnessed could not shake : with an
equanimity which the perfidy he experienced
could not disturb ; with a strength of principle
which secured the perfect confidence of his
friends ; with a courtesy of tone which com-
manded the unwilling applause of his enemies.
We know no man whose conduct entitles him
more fully to the reputation of an honest and
trustworthy man. Does he hold all the opi-
nions which we hold ? condemn all the heresies
which we condemn ? praise and blame the men
who are praised and blamed by ourselves? "My
friend Tom always thinks as I think," said some-
body to Dr. Johnson. " Then, Sir," said the '
Doctor, " he is either a fool who is led by the
nose, or a knave who pretends to be so." We
know that Mr. Escott is a man who will sup-
port the dignity of the Crowh, who will main-
tain the sanctity of the Altar, who will uphold
the integrity of the law. We know, moreover,
that his opponents are Sir John Cam Hobhouse
and Lieutenant-Colonel Evans. It is enough.
We give Mr. Escott our cordial good wishes,
and our most zealous co-operation. The
result of the contest is important as a test of
public opinion, not only on general principles,
but on some particular questions of great inte-
rest. If Westminster shall elect Sir John Cam
Hobhouse, Westminster will clearly approve of
the conduct of the Baronet upon Sir John Key's
motion. The petitions which have come from
the constituency of the borough for the repeal
of the house and window taxes will at once be-
come mere waste paper. The poll will convince
Lord Althorp that the house and window taxes
are vastly popular in Westminster. If West-
-minster shall elect Colonel Evans, Westminster
will convince those who, in their eulogies upon
large constituencies, quoted the list of her re-
presentatives with triumph, that there is far less
loyalty, far less discernment, far less common
sense in Westminster than her admirers have
given her credit for. If Westminster shall elect
Mr. Escott, Westminster will undoubtedly em-
barrass Lord Althorp by a distinct condemna-
don of a tax which his Lordship is determined
to retain. But, on the other hand, Westminster
will gratify the friends of good government and
social order by sending to Parliament a repre-
sentative who has virtue to value and genius to
defend them.—Morning Post.

The LORD MAYOR—No doubt; I give you credit
for your judgment. In my opinion the gentleman
in the spurs would ,have been a great deal more
obliged to you.;-.-(A.lattgh.)
The second boy-:Please you, my Lord, I couldn't
know but the- gentleman with the spurs was the
right gentleman, for he corned and he patted the
hanimal, and the oss looked at him as if he knowed
him, so what was I to do, for the gentleman says
to me, says he, he's a good 'un,for he corned a good
bit this here morning, and then he goes off together,
him and the oss.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—A very good way of doing
business. But, perhaps, as the gentleman had spurs,
he had a horse in the neighbourhood, and might
have mistaken yours for his, Mr. Sly ?—(Laughter.)
The second boy—Please you, my Lord, I thought
so myself, and looked about, but I seed no other oss,
and I don't believe but the gentleman with the
spurs was a robber, and no mistake.
Tne LORD MAYOR—You make a very clever
guess; bur I hope there was no other robber con-
cerned.—(Laughter.)
The two boys declared that they were quite in-
nocent, and
The LORD MAYOR could not think of detaining
them. He regretted that he could afford no assist-
ance to Mr. Sly; but he trusted the robbery would
make men cautious of leaving their horses with va•
gabonds in the streets.
Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.

A youth named Richard Churchman was charged
with stealing a necklace from the person of a little
girl, the daughter of Wiliam Porter, a tailor, resid-
ing in Spencer's-place, Chelsea. There was nothing
remarkable in the evidence against the prisoner, but
the conversation which took place between the
mother of the girl and the Magistrate excited much
surprise. The prisoner was seen to take the neck-
lace from the neck of Mrs. Porter's daughter; but
on his being taken into custody the property could
not be found. This having been proved, the fol-
lowing dialogue took place :
Mr. WHITE—How many children have you, mis-
tress ? Mrs. Porter—l have seven, your Worship.
Mr. WHITE—And are you in the habit of curling
the whole of your children's hair as you have this
one's ?—No, Sir; the girls wily have their hair
eurled:' '

Mr. WIIITE—Pray do the whole of your children
wear such fine necklaces as the one taken from this
child ?—They do not, Sir. The one stolen was
given to my child by a friend. Ido not understand
the meaning of. such questions. I presume I have
a right to dress my cliildren as I like.
Mr. tell you, mistress, I shall not be
at all sorry if you never recover your child's neck-
lace. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for
allowing your children to go about the streets with
such fine things around their necks, as it is an en-
couragement to petty thieves. But, however this
may be, we will remand the prisoner till Tuesday,
to give you an opportunity of recovering the pro-
perty; and if you should get it back I would re-
commend you to sell it, and purchase something
more useful.

PAUPERS' EMPLOYMENT.—Among the ♦ast num-
ber of paupers who applied for parochial relief were
two individuals who complained of the conduct of
Nicholson, an under, or deputy beadle of St. Mar-
garet's workhouse. The men, whose names are
Speed and Winn, being reduced to the utmost state
of destitution, applied for relief at St. Margaret's
workhouse. Their claims were acknowledged to be
just ; and small pittances of bread and cheese were
daily st-reed out to them. On Thursday, how-
ever, Nicholson, the deputy beadle, observed to
Speed, who was then in an ill and hall-famished
state , that he should work for the relief he received.
The pauper expressed his willingness to do so, and
the beadle then sent him to Hounslow with a bag
of lime, weighing nearly half a hundred weight, the
distance there arid back being about twenty miles,
for which he received about three-pennyworth of
bread and cheese. The very next day Winn, the
other pauper above alluded to, was despatched to
Hounslow with the following note, and directions
