POLITICAL POWER OF LANDLORDS.

After the declaration of the poll at the County
Hall, Northampton, on the 20th ult., the friends of
Colonel Cartwright, the successful candidate, dined
at the George Hotel, in honour of the event. Sir H.
Dryden, Bart., presided, the Vice-chair being filled
by Mr. E. Greaves. The chairman was supported
at either end of his table by Wm. Smyth, Esq.,
and George Gunning, E=q. ; and at the second
and Fairfax Cart-
wright, the company were, also,

Stratton, Esq., J. W. Boughton Leigh, Esq., Cap-
tain Newland, Revde. F. Thursby, C. F. Watkins,
G. S. Robertson, cir,c.
When several loyal and political toasts bad been
honoured, "The Health of the Chairman was
drunk.

Sir H. DRYDEN, in returning thanks, said—At
the April election, South Northamptonshire was
bewitched by the silver-tongued Althorp, and went
mad, but now it had recovered from its madness.
(Cheers.) He had already explained the reasons
why the conservatives lost the election last year—ib
was not because the political pi iuciples of the con-
situency were altered. (Hear.) In the previous
election there had certainly basil no method in
their arrangements. This one had been well
managed. (Hear.) Something had been said about
coercion. Coercion did not accord with his views.
(Hear.) If a person said he had promised his vote.
he (Sir Henry) did not think it was right to press
him. Such things perhaps had been done on their
side, but it was known they had been extensively
done on the other. When a man promised either
think they ought to press him to
party he did
break his Word. (Hear.) It was not a principle
of his to not,
"do evil that good might come." Of
this, however, he was quite certain, that if the
other party would refrain from those practises,
they (the conservatives) must win. (Cheers.)
The majority
of the constituency was conserva-
tive. He knew many tenants of radical peers,
whose hearts were with them, bad come against
them or had stayed away. (Hear, hear.) Cer-
tainly a tenant had no right to use his landlord's
land to vote against him, but on the other hand
a landlord had no right to make his tenant !vote
against his principles. He had long decided what
he should do if ever a case arose with his own
tenants—and one had occurred. He thought where
there was a difference between the landlord and the
tenant, the tenant should not vote. He had given
his opinion on a very matsrial election point, as
there were many farmers present, and he would now
give his Opinion on anAher point. They could not
do altogether without legal agents, but he thought
that legal agents in canvassing should always be
accompanied by a non-professional canvasser, and
that the district should be mapped out for the one
quite as much as for the other. He did not canvass
his own tenan's, but before taking one he always sa-
tisfied himself as to his principles, and then, if after
the teuaut thought proper to turn round, he
thought he might fairly come down upon him.
(Hear, hear.) Sometimes a case would occur where
—from the death of a landiord, the new landlord
would be of different principles to the old one and
to the tenants. In this case, he thought the
tenants should remain neutral. Re would give an
instance of a case of this. The last Duke of Marl-
horouk was a. great Radical, and when he died he
was subteeded by his son, who was an equally great
tory, who turned out all the tenants. Now, this
was a hard case. He had a right to expect his
tenants to remain 'neutral, but be bad not a right
to expect them to change their principles because
the landlord had died. (Hear, hear.) Having told
them his opinion about the relations of landlord
and tenant, and about their mode of canvassing,
he would now say a few words with reference to
former elections. Col. Vyse had only one brother iu
the county who canvassed for him; but no man had
ever had such active canvassers as Col. Cartwright,
and it had been done with little trouble either to him-
self or anyone else. (Hear.) He had seen enough to
know that a personal canvass had a great effect.
Without reference to Col. Cartwright, he was sure
the personal attention of candidates had great effect.
(11, ar, hear.) At the last election some electors
were canvassed six or eight times over, and some
were not canvassed at all. First, a profes-
sional man went to one or two voters in a village ;
then somebody else was sent to about two voters ; ,
and after a few days, perhaps, Mr. Knightley and
Col. Vyse canvassed one or two more • and then
others said, " why did they not come to' us also ?"
so that iu reality they did more harm than good.
There was no method or management in that elec-
t:en. If there had been, Lord Althorp would not
have gained so great a majority as he did. (Hear.)

SCOTCEI LAW APPOINTMENTS,-_1i addition to the

By her Majesty's 'Royal Letters Patent foe valuable and ex-
traordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant
Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective
Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess
such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope
can be seen a Person's countenance three-and-a-half miles
distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist-

Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can bo seen and

pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country
scenery and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They
are invaluable for shoetiug, deer-stalking, yachting, to

Preserving Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent pewee. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre-
served and stren-
gtkened and very aged persons are enabled
to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see
with those lenses of a much less magnifying power—and
they do not require the frequent changes to the dan•
geroxs effects of furtber powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the dist ince from the eye they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Ocganio
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful, small, newly-invented
instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpassing anything of the kind that has been, or proh ably
