the tomb of William Rufus should not have been
restored to their original resting-place.
These things were never intended to be separated
from= the body with which they are found, and there
is little to be gained by the exhibition of such
trifl s. It has happened through the force of cir-
cumstances that our ancient Royal tombs have been
much disturbed and desecrated, but there can be
no doubt that the interest with which we contem-
plate these historical monuments.is considerably en-
hanced if wa can feel that they have been handed
down to us in an intact condition.

ELECT lON INTELLIGENCE.

FINSBURY.

Yesterday the borough of Finsbury was placarded
in every direction with large posters signed by Mr.
W. Phillips, of the Corn Exchange, stating that,
although asked to do so, he will not come forward
again as a candidate for this borough unless at a
public meeting of electors they declare that they
will not encourage any agents or paid canvassers.
He adds that he is glad to see that many excellent
men have declined to come forward as candidates at
the risk of being beaten by a mere outlay of money.
