MR. WALPOLE---VIR. WARREN.

The triumphant return of Mr. Walpole for Cambridge
University, and the unopposed election of Mr. Warren
for Midhnrst, are among the noteworthy incidents of
the week. Mr. Walpole is known during his brief
tenure.of office to have discharged the important duties
of the Home Secretaryship with an efficiency aid con-
scientious care exhibited hy few of his predecessors,
and certaiely manifested by none who have succeeded
him in that. arduous post. Tee Cambridge University
has gained in him an able representative, and, what is of
more importance than mere ability, a staunca and sted-
fast supporter of our institutions in Church and State.
But gratifying as Mr. Walpole's return fir Cambridge
is, as indicative of the prevai'ing political feeling in that
ancient 'seat of learning, it is an additional cause of
rejoicing that it has furnished the opportunity of intro-
ducing to Parliamentary life eur own able and excellent
recorde-. Mr. Warren in his youth won for himself a
name in literature that will be honoured se long as the
Eng ish language is read ; in lat -r years he has not only
added to hi' literary fame, but compel's I the recognition
of his claims to the title of a learned and able lawyer
and an upright and painstaking judge ; and now, in
the full vigour of manhood and the ripe maturity of his
intellect, be enters upon a political career—a career in
which those who know him the best anticipate for him
the greatest successes. He will, we are persuaded,
servo his constituency and his country faithfully and
well. Ase uad Conservative in politics, a true Protes-
tant, a reverence of the sanctity of the Sabbath, an up•
holder of the Christian cbaracter of our Logis/ature, an
advocate of the religious education of the people, and a
sanitary reformer, Mr. Warren may be counted upon as
an able champion of the true interests of the people of
this country. Not that we anticipate ho will rush
hastily into debate and eagerly teize on every oppor-
tunity for oratoricabdisplay. Oar recorder, we are per-
suaded, has too mush self-respect to mingle among the
fry of the chattering lawyers, who, like the Pharisees of
old, think they shall be heard for their muck speaking.
Indeed Mr. Warren hinted his intention to abstain from
unnecessary talk, in the excellent address which he de-
livered before his constituency, and which we report
elsewhere ; and we have no doubt that his Parliament-
ary conduct will be guided by Sound judgment as well
as by sound principle.—Hull Packet.

It is not correot, as stated in some journals, that
Sweden has sought to be represented at the coming
Congress.
IMPORTATION OF RICE.—The Vanguard, Criptain Mid-
dleton, has arrived in the West India Docks with an
satire cargo of rice from Madagascar. We believe this is
the first importation of rice from that quarter.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Lieutenant of Dragoons cured
of Rheumatism by Holloway's' Ointment and Pills.—
This officer, who is in the Dutch army, states that Hol-
loway's pills and ointment have cured him of rheumatism
which appeared to be incurable, as neither sea bathing,
vapour baths, nor preparation vaunted as sure remedies,
did him any good, and the treatment of the doctor, after
several months' trial, was without success. At this
juncture he commenced taking these pills, and rubbing
the ointment into the complaining parts twice a day,
which effectually cured him in the c curse of six weeks.
The truth of this statement can be vouched for by Mr.
J. B. Stratnian, of Bois-le-Due.—Sold by all druggists,

(Prom the Panama Star, Jan. 23.)
We have received files of the Melbourne Argus
to the 20th Nov., via Callao ; they contain, how-
ever, little news of interest.
The price of gold has declined at Melbourne 6d.
per ounce, being quoted at 31. 14s. 6d.
The banks placed the rate of exchange with Eng-
land at par on Nov. 19.
The closing price of flour on Nov. 17 at Geelong
was 491. to 501. per ton for Chilian. Business there
was rapidly improving.
At Adelaide flour was rising in price on Nov. 13,
.and is quoted at 551. to 601.
From Sydney our advices are to the 14th Nov.
Little was doing in the house, says the Argus cor-
respondent. The Steam Postal Bill, having passed
through committee, may be considered as already
en the statute book. The sum of 20,0001. has been
inserted as the contribution of New South Wales
towards a general line for all Australia.
The Emma from Liverpool, the Rajah of Sara-
wak from Bristol, the Forest Monarch from the
Clyde, hag arrived at Melbourne. The James
Baines was advertised to sail from Melbourne on
the 25th Nov. for Liverpool ; the Emma on the
10th Dec. for Liverpool ; the Admiral on the Ist
Dee. for London ; the Statesman on the Bth Dec.
for London ; the Blackwall on the 20th Deo. for
London ; the Sussex in January, also for London.

SUICIDE OF JOHN SADLEIR, ESQ. M.P.

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, a police-
constable found the body of a gentleman on Hampstead-
heath, and immediately had it conveyed to the work-
house. From a paper found in his pockets, it was sup-
posed to be the body of Mr. Sadleir, M.P. for Sligo,
who was, for a short time, one of the Lords of the Trea-
sury under the last Administration, and has long been
chairman of the London and County Bank. The collar of
his shirt, and a cambric pocket handkerchief were also
marked with the name of Sadleir. In his pockets were
found-71. in gold, Bank of England note of 51., No.
32,302, 12s. in silver, and threepence in copper, a silver
cream ewer, washed with gold crest " lion rampant,"
containing a portion of bitter almonds, bottle containing
a portion of bitter almonds, labelled as such in six places,
and marked " poison," razor-case containing two razors,
white handles, lead pencil, some loaf sugar, and blotting-
paper, paperknife, and steel blade. The deceased had on
a black hat, named Christy, Bond-street, grey wrapper,
with frock-coat, raised silk 'plush waistcoat, fancy tweed
trousers, grey lambs' wool socks, walking shoes, buck-
skin gloves, black silk neckerchief, and a fancy shirt.
Dr. Nichol, of Hampstead, was in immediate attend-
ance, and pronounced life to have been extinct some
hours, and, to all appearance, from the essential oil of
bitter almonds. Dr. Nichol at once proceeded to the
residence of Mr. Sadleir, M.P., 11, Gloucester square,
Hyde-park, and saw the housekeeper only, who informed
him that she bought the poison yesterday at Maitland's,
Chester-terrace, Hyde-park, by her master's order, that
her master wrote many letters yesterday, and one to a
Mr. Norris, who was expected at his house in the course
of the day. At a later period of the day two gentlemen
visited Hampstead, and identified the body as that of
Mr. Sadleir. It will remain at the workhouse waiting
the inquest.
