A FACT.

Oxf Saturday last Sir G. Holyoake Goodricke met a nume.
rous body of electors, and addressed them as follows
44 GENTLEMEN

After remaining some minutes in mute eloquence, and so-
lemn silence, the Tory Baronet retired amidst enthusiastic ap-
plause.
The wily candidate for North Staffordshire has doubtless read
Sterne, and discovered " that he is thrice happy for having, at
least, made one speech which malice cannot blacken, nor ig-
norance misrepresent." One of his supporters stepped for-
ward, and announced that his Hon. Friend would explain him-
self more at length (! 11) at some future opportunity.

THE SILENT CANDIDATE.

Sir Candidate Goodricke,
Supposing he could speak,
Attended a meeting at Bromwich;
But oh ! how absurd,
Since never a word

From his noddle the Tory could rummage.
Says he " The bold Colonel
" s' persuasions can turn all
" The voters to give him support,
" And I'm called Justice Silence
" Because I want vi'lence,
" And hate to provoke a retort.
" The borough I've left
" Of a member bereft,
" Because so corrupt and so bad, oh,
" One bone I've let fall
" And in case I lose all

" They'll bully the dog and the shadow.
" Frank Mills is my friend,
" And on him I'll depend,
" For to spouting I have an objection;
" But still I can pay
" Carlton money away,
" And thus can secure my election."

LITERATURE.

HISTORY OF ENGLAND,
BY HUME AND S3IOLLETT; WITH A CONTINUATION BY THE

REV. F. S. lIUOILES, B.D. VOL. XV.
Valpy. London, 1835.

This is the second volume of the Rev. Mr. Hughes's
Continuation of Hume and Smollett's History of Eng-
land, and embraces one of the most important and diffi-
cult periods in the annals of this country. It commences
with the accession of George 111. in 1760, and ex-
tends over the greater part of the time occupied in the
prosecution of the American War. We are well satis-
fied with the ability with which Mr. Hughes has ac-
quitted himself of so arduous an undertaking. The
illustrations of the present volume are the sortie at
Gibraltar, and Sir Sidney Smith at Acre, both very
carefully engraved by Warren.

THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE. Vol. 11.

Valpy. London, 1835.

The present volume of this beautifully illustrated
edition of the Works of the Bard of Twickenham, by
the Rev. Dr. Croly, contains Windsor Forest, Eloisa
to Abelard, the Essays, and the whole of the Satires.
The excellent notes with which the Rev. Editor has
enriched each poem are in themselves a treasure. The
first engraving represents Eloisa leaning on the bosom
of Abelard. The other is a scene in Windsor Forest.
Both are well executed. This edition, when com-
pleted, will range with the Waverley Novels, Byron's
Works, &c.

By the Ivay, when are we to expect Dr. Croly's
long-promised edition of Swift's Works ? If we re-
member rightly, the first volume was to have appeared
in April. We anxiously await the appearance of a
cheap edition of the Works of the Dean of St. Pa-
trick. It shall have from us a cordial reception.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We had numerous reports yesterday respecting Ministers,
all of which have turned out a mere stock-jobbing manoeuvre.
Letters have been received this morning from New Orleans
of the Bth ult., with a Price Current :

REMARKS.—Large supplies of western produce have been
flowing into the market during the week, and business, parti-
cularly in that line, quite animated, almost every article meet-
ing with ready sale, at prices that will amply remunerate the
sli:?pz.r. The weather has been mild and pleasant. The
Mississippi is within 4i feet of high water mark, having risen
nearly 3 feet.

STOCKS.—Louisiana State Bank 1171 sales ; Bank of Or-
leans 110 asked, 109 i offered.
Barbadoes Papers have been received to the 10th ult. The
Legislature continues still deliberating on Lord Aberdeen's
despatches, which were read in the Assembly. They referred
to several Bills, to which the Colonial Secretary had advised
his Majesty.
Our arrivals this morning are only one French mail, with
two arrivals of %hip letters of old dates.
