MISCELLANEOUS EIT 'S.

a notf,, which seems to imply that he has not react the
letter which he criticises. He says " Our corre-
spondent seems to ignore that while the nuisance
of the catgut manufactory obtrudes itself on. its
neighbours, the nuisance of properly-regulated public-
houses exists only for those who are so weak that
they cannot pass them without being tempted in. Are
we to deny moderate enjoyments to the minority be-
cause the majority distrust their own moderation ?"
To this we reply' by asking what the editor means
by " well-regulated public-houses ? " Does he mean
public-houses where drunkenness is forbidden ? If
so, will he tell us where such phenomena e..ist ?
If he does not mean this, in what does the " regula-
tion " consist ? If even in a " well-regulated."
public-house a man may get drunk and ruin himself
and bring his family upon the parish, we, the sober
majority, who have to support that family, have a
right to say something on this question—to say if the
number of pauper manufactories shall be inerec.sed
or not. If, then, the drunkard desires to close the
public-houses because they are a snare to him, and
the sober man desires to close them because they
are a tax upon him, where is the injustice or the
tyranny ? The argument is stronger even than this.
It is not only the neighbours who object to the
pauper-factory ; it is the pauper also. Catgut offers
no objection to being manufactured the pauper
does. Thus, then, we find that no S'peeta!or admits
the fairness of the objection against the catgut-
factory: simply because it offends the neighbours'
nose, but will not admit the fairness of the' objections
t.) the' pauper-factory, although it offends the
neighbour's eye and his pocket, and although it is
strongly objected to by the article manufactured—
the pauper himself.

SIR ROBERT CLIFTON.
A very notorious M.P. has departed from the legis-
lative and every other earthly scene. Sir Robert
Clifton, the sue-disant Liberal who always voted
with the Conservatives, the adored of the
Nottingham roughs, the shepherd of the Not-
tingham lambs, died on Sunday of typhoid fever.
Sir Robert was the owner of Clifton, that beautiful
park on the banks of the Trent which Kirke
White has immortalised. He was also well-
known on the Turf, where he met with much ill-luck.
In 1831 a seat became vacant by the elevation
of Mr. Mellor to the bench. The then Duke
of Newcastle, a member of the existing Cabinet,
having great influence in the borough, brought
forward his son, the Earl of Linaoln. The Liberal
party was divided. The old Liberals and Whigs,
headed by Mr. Mundella, the present M.P. for
Sheffield, .supported the Earl, the " Independent "
party-resisted their "dictation," and this disaffection
being skilfully fomented by the Conservatives, Sir
Robert Clifton was brought forward as a Radical,
with the understanding that he would generally vote
with the Conservatives. The result was-1. A
tremendous tumult; 2. A signal triumph of the
Clifton over the Clumber influence, Sir Robert
polling 2,513 votes, and the Earl of Lincoln only
1,122. At the general election for 1805 the hostility
between the two sections of the Liberal party was
fiercer than ever. The old Liberals brought forward
Mr. Samuel Morley and the the former member, Mt%
Paget. Sirltobert Clifton wa s again brought forward by
the Independents, and Mr. Alfred Marten, a barrister,
by the Conservatives, who hoped to profit by the
Liberal disunion. A terrible time followed ; the
" lambs" went about like roaring lions, seelsing whom
they might devour. Houses were gutted, electors
were maltreated, and for several days the town was
the scene of fierce riot. The polling shewed a very
Gloss run. Mr. Morley had 2,303 votes, Sir R.
Clifton 2,352, Mr. Paget 2,327, Mr. Marten 2,242. TUE MONEY MARKET.
The Paget party petitioned against Sir It. Clifton,
the Cliftonites petitioned against Mr. Morley, The City editor of the Times, induced by Mr.
Lowe's threat that Government will leave the money

the poll by a large majority, Colonel Wright (son of
the translator of Dante and Homer) was a good
second, Mr. Seely was a bad third, Mr. Clayden
wretched fourth, and Mr. Osborne, at the head of the
poll in 1800, was nowhere in 1868. A petition was
talked of on the part of Mr. Seely against Colonel
Wright ; but it was abandoned, es was stated
at the time in the local papers, on the understanding
that Colonel Wright would apply for the Chiltern
Hundreds on the ground of ill-health. He has
not done so, and Mr. Seely has not petitioned. It
remains to be seen if the latter gentleman will come
forward for the present vacancy. Mr.' Osborne is
nearly certain to do so. It is not a little remarkable
that the old antagonists, Sir Robert Clifton and the
Duke of Newcastle, should be the subject of news-
paper paragraphs at the same time, though for verydif-
ferent reasons. Sir Robert was the last representative
sf one of the oldest families in the kingdom. He sur-
vived only a few months his aged uncle, Sir Arthur,
who died early in the year at nearly 100 years old.
Sir Robert was only 43.

OBITUARY.

Besides the death of Sir R. Clifton we regret to
announce that of Captain Colin Campbell, R.N.
This distinguished young officer has for some time
been in a hopeless state, and his illness prevented
him from accompanying the Prince of Wales on his
recenti tour. Captain Campbell was the son of
lice-Admiral Sir Patrick Campbell, K.C.8., and
died on board H.M.S. Ariadne, at 38 years of age.
Ile entered the navy in 1844, had a medal, one
clasp and three foreign Orders.—The death is also
announced of Mr. Commissioner Perry, of the
Liverpool Court of Bankruptcy.

TIIE DUBLIN ELECTION.
Mr. R. Cecil Guinness, the Conservati'e candidate
for Dublin, has to all appearances quietly withdrawn.
His address has disappeared from all the local
journals, and the exertions on his behalf have ceased.
It is rumoured that he is dissatisfied with the-
inactivity shewn by the Conservative party as
regards the suspension of the writ, and that he has
abandoned his intention to come forward as a
nndidate. `i' 4111
