AS an EXPERIENCED and PRACTICAL SHORT-.
HANDWRETER; Mr. T. C. FOSTER, REPORTER
FOR THE LIVE.RPOOL STANDARD, has frequently beeen applied
1.0, and now offers to give LESSONS in the above Delightful
Art. Of its general and sometimes important utility, as a
ready and secure mode of taking Memoranda, copying
letters, &c., there cannot be a doubt; even if it be not wanted,
as a splendid triumph of art over what otherwise would be an
insurmountable difficulty, to take down verbatim Sermons,
Speeches, Trials, &c. as they are spoken. "La Stenograpie "
says Massieu, a L'Abbe Sicard, "va comme le cerf ou
le
cheval, mais l'ecriture ordinaire comme le liceuf."
Mr. T. C. FOSTER makes no profession of being able, by
any short process, to make a perfect Short-hand Writer. To
those anxious to learn from him he will give the whole of his
System, whereby, with the requisite diligence, they may be-
come equally proficients in the art with himself.— Applications to
be made at the Standard Office.

CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH.—MARYLETIONE ELECTION'
—Again have we to record the triumph of constitutional
principles over the mischievous doctrines of radicalism,
in the instance of the Marylebone election. Again have
we to record the humiliating rejection of that "nice
young man," Master William Ewart, by one of the
largest constituencies in the kingdom. No more shall
we hear of his ridiculous and futile motions in the House
of Commons. No more shall we enjoy the luxury of a
laugh at his superlative fooleries. No more shall the
reports of proceedings in parliament astonish the public
by recording his motions for abolishing first-born sons.
Poor William Ewart ! Rejected of Liverpool—de-
spised of Kilkenny—and contemned of Marylebone ! Ia
reviewing the issue of the contest in. the last place we
find it difficult to restrain our emotions of pity for
this disconsolate suitor; especially when we reflect that,
in addition to the mortification of defeat, he has also the
misfortune to pay all the expenses of the contest.
• We are justified in looking upon the triumph achieved
in the person of Lord Teignmouth as one of the most
signal which the conservatives have obtained since the
accession of the present ministers to office. This victory.
has snatched from the hands of the radicals one of the,
most important of the metropolitan boroughs. In 'has
taught the conservatives the secret of their strength—T-a
secret the value of which will only be fully appreciated
at the next general election.
It has been too much the policy of the conservative
party to give themselves up to despair of success, with-
out any adequate cause. This has been the case in the
several metropolitan boroughs. The radicals have so
long had it all their own way, that the conservatives have
allowed them to walk the course over on the occasion of
most of the recent contests. The show of resistance
made at the last general election indicated anything brlt
a hearty resolution to rescue the metropolitan boroughs
from the disgrace of being represented by the ultra
radicals. The truth is, that the conservatives bad not
sufficient confidence in their numbers and influence to
contest the ground with energy. This is no longer the
case. Lord Teignmouth deserves the thanks of thecountry
for successfully testing the strength of conservatism in
the metropolis. Others of the boroughs will, no doubt,
feel equally anxious to rid themselves of their radical
incumbrances, on the first opportunity which may offer.
It is now no unreasonable expectation for the conserva-
tives to look fer the return of one half of the wctropo.
