WORCESTER ELECTION.

`WORCESTER, JAN. D.—Some extraordinary manoeuvres
will be disclosed before a Committee of the House of Com-
111ons on the petition from Worcester against the return of Mr.
tiailey_for example, the polling of the dead by proxy t It is
whispered also that a Magistrate acted as valet de chambre en
chef to these. The petition we learn will not be conducted
by Colonel Davies, but by a small band (seven) of wealthy
41 patriotic individuals, anxious to wipe off the foul stigma
Which has been thrown upon their ancient city ; and it is con-
Edently anticipated that the result of the scrutiny will be the
seating Colonel Davies by a majority of above 100. Neither
sill the matter be allowed to rest here, for a large subscription
has been secretly entered into for the purpose of taking legal
proceedings against, not the tempted, but the tempters ; it
Will not be said,
" Dat veniam corvos, vexat censura Colombas."
To guard also against the charge of vindictiveness, a few
only of the chief performers will be selected and hung up
interrorum for the future.

WEST 'WORCESTERSHIRE.
Little notice has been taken of the struggle for independence
Itt West Worcestershire, brought to so glorious a termination
under so many disadvantages. In this division of the county
the(„ property of three Tory Earls, Coventry, Beauchamp, and
Somers, is situated ; these treating the tenantry as vassals,
formed a coalition for the return of two " who would give Sir
It• Peel a fair trial," professing Reformers neverteless of
every " admitted abuse ;" but the Liberal Candidate, Captain
vvinnington, has been returned by a majority of 175, his
-majority at the last contest being only 91. So perish all con-
spiracies against the independence of the people ! The
triumphant result is in a great measure owing to the high
Public and private character of Mr. Winnington ; no other
rust could have so completely united or so effectually drawn
out the independent interest of an old and respected family ;
he had no aristocratic feelings to conciliate, and his opinions
being of the most disinterested and liberal description renders
itn the idol of the people.

rouleaux of satin, to which a very narrow blonde is affixed, go
down each side of the front of the dress, in the style of rob-

they are close together, gradually increase in size and distance
as they go down. A spiral wreath of full-blown roses goes
