by the Gazette :—"A new responsible editor having become
necessary, he presented himself to the Minister of the Inte-
rior, after having paid to the Minister of Finances 33,000 f.

133,000 f. at the Treasury, but the Minister of the Interior

Mr. Scholefield, son of the late Member for Birminghern,
has received a pressing invitation from an influential body of
the electors, to come forward as a candidate. In his reply
he says—" I assure you that I should have felt compelled re-
spectfully to have declined the request which has been urged
upon me, if it had not been accompanied by a strong expres-
sion of opinion, that the majority of the independent electors
of the borough would probably concur in the views which
dictated it; and that ultimately the Reformers of our town
would combine in my favour. If lam thus acceptable to my
fellow-townsmen, and union be your watchword, I no longer
hesitate, but cheerfully tender you my humble services in
discharge of the important and responsible duties of your
representative."
