Wit h Lord John Russell's excellent speech in full,

Was published at the expence of a few liberals, and was
widely circulated by the mails through Devon and Cornwall,
so that the most humble ten-pounder might satisfy himself
that Lord John had manfully done his duty to his country and
constituents. It may 'not be Considered fair to crow over a
fallen enemy or the people; but as well might we expect a
fine gentleman to turn drudge in a scullery, amongst filthy
smutty pots and kettles, without soiling his delicate hands, as
a Speaker of the House of Commons to be day after day herd-
ing with rank Tories without entertaining the despotic feelings
of the one, or imbibing the pensioning, place, hunting,and liberty-
destroying feelings of the others. It was quite amusing to see
the chop-fallen. woe-bb-gone countenances of the disappointed
Tory parsons ; one in particular, a dignitary of the Cathedral.
who made himself very ridiculous at the late election, by parad-
ing the streets with an enormous bow of blue riband stuck iig
his coat, with anothgr round the neck of his poodle dog, both
of which, from the plumpness of their bodies and physiognomy,
appeared to be so gorged with tithe pig as to present a happy
resemblance to the animal—no sooner did the deathlike sound
of the glorious majority reach his ears, than he and his dog
were seen skulking away, he biting his lips, and the poor dog
with his tail between his legs, evidently mistaking the hisses
intended for his master for himself. The eyes of every con-.
stituency are upon its members; therefore let them follow up the
first knock-down blow with a second, and third if necessary.
which will clear the political atmosphere of the fetid taint of
Toryism, when Reform wilrearry its searching and beneficial
effects to the very heart's core of every abuse,

TO THE PDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stg,—On receiving your Second Edition on Friday btst.
containing the debate and division on the question as to the
Speaker, I immediately sent one copy to the Institution in thi:
town, and so disposed of the others as to diffuse a very general
knowledge of the fact that so creditable' an effort of the prey
had appeared. The impression 'thus excited has, I know, beet.
strongly in favour of The Sun, that being* the only paper which
had reached this town containing such information.
