MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(:--
CLASS REPRESENTATION.

We shall probably have our lawyers sufficiently
represented in the new Parliament. The legal pro•
fession is the one par excellence from which our
legislators are taken. The army and navy will be quite
sufficiently represented for the country, though the
services grumble somewhat. The Law Journal
gives the number of barristers-at-law who are
candidLtcs for seats in the new Parliament
for the counties, cities, and boroughs of England
and Wales as 117. Of this number 74 are
barristers in actual practice, 31 are Queen's Counsel,
and four ard serjeants-at-law ; 60 come forward as
Liberals, and 68 as Conservatives. Thera are not
more than 10 attorneys seeking parliamentary
honours, but that branch of the profession is repre-
sented by a member of each of the three firms of
Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co.; Freshfields and
Newman ; and Gregory, Rowcliffes, and Rawle ;
and these three candidates are all on the Con-
servative side.

The Daily News points out that the' great govern..
ing families " are earnestly striving to secure a full
measure of representation in the householders'
Parliament. Amongst the candidates are three
spiis and a brother of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland,
three sons and a brother of the Duke of Devon-
shire, two sons of Lord Derby, four representatives
of Lowther Castle, two members of the family of
Wyndham, three members of the great Whig house
of Wentworth, two sons and a nephew of the Marquis
of Westminster, two sons of the Duke of Buccleuch,
and many others. In the late Parliament 136 sons,
brothers, and other relatives of peers were elected,
and to all appearance the representatives of the
peerage in the new House will not fall far short of
that number.
THE WM:MING-MEN CANDIDATES.

Another pseudo working-men's candidate has re-
tired—Mr. Hartwell, for Stoke-upon-Trent. As at
Lambeth, he does not attribute his retirement to the
real cause--that he had not the shadow of a ghost of
a chance. He declares that ho withdraws because
he has not the wherewith to pay the expenses.
This, at any rate, is better than the high patriotic
tone which marked his parting address to the Lam-
beth electors. But even now he cleclaies that had
he gone to the poll he would have been returned by
a considerable majority. The working men of Chelsea
are still unsatisfied. A meeting called by his com-
mittee was held on Sunday, and the wickedness of
the Reform Club dilated upon at length. If we may
take the speeches delivered as any indication, some
of these men intend strengthening the hands of Dr.
Russell, the Conservative candidate.
