has returned one and one—k. Leis, & publican's
candidate, and Mr. Chambers,.who was '..pportecl by
the teetotalers—their second candidate, Dr. Sand-
with, being defeated. Mr. Gilpin, who was favoured_
by the temperance party at Northampton,
has obtained re-election, but Dr. Lees was nowhere.
Unfortunately, Sir Robert Clifton, one of the pets&
of the victuallers, has obtained a seat through •
schism in the Liberal party ; he has, however, merebr
displaced Mr. Osborne, another of their favourites,
Mr. Whalley, who compensated for fanati,
cism in religion by voting for the Permissive Bill,
has been re-elected. Mr. Morrison, of Plymouth,
has been somewhat " shaky " on the subject of the
Permissive Bill lately, but will at least riot vote
against it. At Sheffield, Mr. Roebuck, who expressed
his readiness to. eject his saliva upon temperance
legislation, has himself been ejected. Mr.
Magniac will, wo believe, give effect to the wishes
of his new constituents at St. Ives, who
aro largely in favour of the Permissive Bill.
Mr. Melly has always been considered friendly to
f.nrnnerailen lea. Ir.:at ion. Air +l. -
member for Sunderland, has received the enthusiastic
support of the Permissive 13111 party. The same
party were unable to return Mr. Edwards for Truro
and at Walingford Mr. Vickers, and at Wolver-
hampton. Mr. Weguelin, friends of the publicans,
have been returned. Altogether, the temperance
party have at least held their own, although at the
present election the prominence given to the Irish
Church question has scarcely allowed them to mal e
le most of their opportunities.

VOTERS.

Tales are rife concerning voters under the new
Reform Act. Many a one has declared his determi-
nation to vote as his " mate " should direct ; and
more still have called in some one who " understands
these things" to instruct him in the principles of the
candidates. Others wait till nearly the close of the
poll, then vote for the one who is ahead, that
they • ' - throw their vote away, or that they
may • le winning side. But a very queer
story the Daily News, concerning "how the
three . .dives got one vote." Apparently, it is

appeared at the poll, stated hisname and qualification,
rightly, but when asked for whom lie wished to vote,
scratched his head and said he did not know.. A
gentleman drew him aside, and suggested the three
Conservatives. But a Liberal objected. Thereupon
a squabble ensued, and the man stood idiotically
"reckoning up" for whom he should vote. The
names of the three Conservatives were called out,
He voted for them.
I PRAY YOU KNOW ME WHEN WE MEET AGAIN.
The Liberals of Manchester gave a man in custody
for personating a dead voter. In spite of his expos-
tulations he was brought before the magistrates. The
wife of his bosom came forward to swear that he was
the veritable Joseph Taylor, of Brindle-row. The stern
magistrate refused to accept her evidence, although
he confessed she ought to know. By this time it is
probable the poor man had begun to doubt his own
Identity. Luckily, another woman came forward and
corroborated his wife's evidence, and doubtless his
joy was great when the magistrate awarded him VS
as compensation for false imprisonment and the
indignity of being blotted out of the book of the
