L Y CEUM.

On Saturday night was repeated a new farcical entertain-
ment, in one act, produced here on the previous evening,
called Stage Struck, which was received with considerable
approbation. Its plot turns upon the perversity of Mr.
Stubborn (Mr. Ayliffe) so ardently attached to theatricals
as to educate his only child Juliet (Miss P. Horton) for the
sage. The-piece is said to be the production of Mr. T.
Arnold, a son of the proprietor. The farce was preceded
by the performances of the two Masters Collins on the vio-
lin and violoncello, which, for such juvenile performers—
the eldest being but nine years of age—were indeed extra-
ordinary. They were received with great eclat.

NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

ELECTION.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
William Hanllury, of Kelmarsh, in this county, and of
Stobden Court, Herefordshire, arrived at the George Hotel,
in this town, about eight o'clock last . evening, and almost
immediately decided on becoming a candidate for the repre-
sentation of the Northern Division of this county. Mr.
Hanbury being a gentleman possesied of considerable wealth,
and having also great local influence, promises to be an op-
ponent as formidable to Thomas Philip Maunsell, the Tory
candidate, as any one could wish ; and the probability is,
that the latter will be left considerably behind on the poll,
although he will have had the advantage of a four ,days'
canvas.

Mr. Hanbury has already been in Parliament ; he repre-
sented this town in 1:807 and in 1812. He was also a can-
didate with the late Lord Milton, against Lord Brudenell,
and another Tory named Thomas Tryon, in 1832, for the
same Division of the county as that for which he is now
again about to stand. I send you the state of the poll on
that occasion at its close, which alone would be a sufficient
guarantee of the good position in which Mr. Hanbury
stands with the constituency of North Northamptonshire :

Lord Milton 1,562
Lord Brudenell
William Hanbury
Thomas Tryon • 1,2G9
Thus it will be seen that Lord Brudenell was only 86 above
Mr. Hanbury, who, however, was 186 above the.other Tory,
candidate. Till. the last. day of the poll, the Liberals were
nearly three to one above their opponents ; and it was only
by plumping with a reserved force, that the Tories were
enabled to bring in one of their candidates. At the last
election Lords Milton and Brudenell were returned w ithout
opposition ; but the vaunted progress of Conservatism has
'for some time past haunted the fiery imagination of Mr.
Maunsell, and he ..aecordinely a short time since, at the
Peterborovh Association dinner, declared' it to be his in-
tention to give the electors of North Northamptonshire an
opportunity of having—what he had the assurance to say
they so much needed—another Conservative representative.‘
M. M. also made a similar declaration at the last Corpo-
ration dinner given in this town, in a spech noted for its
being a " compound of ignorance, violence, and bigotry."
It was but yesterday that the Northampton Herald
jeered the Reformers at their being un :hie to bring a man
into the field, and said, " We do not nitertain a doubt of
Mr. Maunsell achieving an easy and pirfect victory over
any Radical Destructive that may be npdosed to him. But
where is the opponent to be found ? The Radicals, con-
trary to their usual foresight and alertnns, have been com-
pletely ' taken aback " &c. The q iestion that is so
