The Manchester Mercury says, " The disputes
between the coal miners and their employers at
St. Helen's are not yet adjusted, though some of
the men have offered to retorts to work. We arc
happy, however, to state, that though several
acts of violence and outrage have been commit-
ted, no serious disturbance has taken place, nor
the works of any of the colleries injured,—
The principal objects of attack by the dissatisfied
workmen hive been the men who have signified
their willingness to resume their employment at
tie old sate of wages. The Magistrates have
therefore issued a notice of their determination to
protect all such persons, and of proceeding against
the offenders with the utmost rigour of the litre."

THE WESTMINSTER CANDIDATES.

A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE.

Good Lord ! what a hustle ! bow folks elbow and jostle !
Yet I'll see, if I can, the true state of the case;
Spite of knockings and thrusting's, I'll get near the hustings,
And all the three Candidates see face to face.
Lambs' heads on poles sticking, and all such poor tricking,
With me not so much as a feather will weigh ;
If, such wit conceiting, you talk of LAMB'S bleating,
LAMB, I answer, may bleat, but JACK Ho House can tray.
But let all Electors themselves be inspectors
Of whate'er is done, nor be Inimbugg'd by dam;
Let all judge by their speeches, of the claimants, what each is,
Then take which they like, HOBHOUSE, CARTWRIGHT, or
LAMA.

When he speaks to the rabble, like him in the fable—•
Hounoust blows hot and cold with the very same mouth ;
His speechification is all botheration,
And turns, as some winds do—now north and now south.
LAMB does not so wander,'--but speaking with candour,
Declares all abuse he will strive to redress;
Rights of voting extended, and Parliaments ended
On every third year, are the points he should press.
But let all Electors, &c.

LAMB, in the light sallies, with which each his foe rallies,
Is keen as a razor, and polish'd as glass :
Hominy sa swaggers and vapours, and strives to cut capers,
But thro' all his ape's tricks we discover the ass.
LAMB makes HOBUOUSE look sheepish, out of humour and
peevish,
Twirling thumbs, shaking seals, scratching head in dismay;
But it heeds not a button, for he's a lost mutton,
And Lama will triumphantly carry the day.
But let all Electors, &c.

This Hositousx, at Paris, where freedom butt rare is,
BUONAPARTE beprais'd in the fulsomest strain.
Then let not such a Janus be sulked to gain us,
Tho' about rights of Man he may talk like Tom PAYNE,.
Much too did be prattle about Waterloo's battle—
And call'd it a carnage like that of St. John.
And can he be a Briton ? and shall such a roan sit on
The bench of our Commons ?—Reforrner begone !
Thus exclaims each Elector—his form held etccter—
Adding, such a vile turncoat is not worth a damn—
I have heard all their speeches, and know well what each is—
Then Hußtiouse good bye—here's a plumper fur L.
