The Honourable Charles John Canning, son of the distin-

LADIES' BAZAAR AT FitonsHAM.—A bazaar will be opened
at this place on Thursday next, for the sale of fancy. articles, the
proceeds of which will be appropriattd to the erection and sup-
port of a national school at Frodsham. Her Majesty and the
Princess Victoria have sent some articles to be offered for sale,
and the committee announce that they are also in possession
of a pair or socks, knit be the late Mrs. Hannah More. As a
relique of this celebrated woman they will, no doubt, be highly
prized. For the convenience of the ladies and gentlemen of
Liverpool who may be disposed to attend, a steam-boat is en-
gaged for the purpose of conveying them to Frodsham.
A NEW BATCH OF RADICAL MAGISTRATES.—Christopher
Rawdon, Hugh Horubn Samuel awe, John Holmes,•Joseph
Hornby, Thomas Thornely, M. P4'l'-of Liverpool, Esqrs., and
Mark Philips, M. I'., of Manchester, have been appointed Ma-
gistrates for the County Palatine of Lancaster. All these gen-
tiemen, says the Albion, are Reformers, and most of them Pro-
testant Dissenters.
OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION IN SALFORD.—A
meeting of Conservatives was held at the Globe Inn, Bury-street,
Salford, last evening, for the purpose of forming a Conservative
Association upon the same plan as that adopted in Manchester,
for the operative classes. The meeting was well attended, and
about thirty personi-eurolled their names as members. The in-
tention of holding a meeting of this kind originated with one or
two individuals, and was not known beyond the immediate circb
of their acquaintances; bu', from the feeling that was mani-
fested; we have no doubt that the future operations of the society
will have a verybmeficial effect in the borough.—The next meet-
ing will be held on Thursday evening, at the same place.—
Arne/tester Courier.

HONESTY AND POVERTY.—A poor fellow, who had recently
arrived from Liverpool a day or two since, found in the streets
a paper, which proved to be a cheque for £-10 on a banker in
Corniiill; .but wishing, from-the impulse-id: au ,honest he.irt, to
restore it.to the right owner, he made inquiries, by which the
cheque got into the hands of the gentleman who had lust it, and
the poor man was presented with five sovereigns for his trouble;
with which he declared himself better satisfied than he could
have lien had he got the cheque cashed, and appropriated the
whole ttrflis own uie. This proves at least that honour and po-
verty arc not totally unacquainted with each other.—Morniiiy

SunnaN DEATH OF Ma. TAYLOR.—It is our painful duty
to communicate the death of a most inestimable public-officer,
Mr. Thomas Taylor, of the Chief 'Secretary of State's Office,
Dublin Castle. who transacted business with Mr. Drummond,
the new Under-Secretary up to eight o'clock yesterday evening,
after which he retired to his family at Churchtown. near Dun-
drum.. Mr. Taylor, who has left a numerous and amiable retail'',
had been for some time complaining of ill-health and spirits,
which are supposed to have been occasioned by his close atten-
tion to business, and by the heartless calls of the Burnish press
for his dismissal front otlice to make room fur one a their
friends. As successor to his father, he filled the place of second
clerk in the very responsible department to winch he was at-
tached during during a long period, and latterly the place of
Chief Clerk. He was esteemed by alt whose esteem is valuable;
but his thrtituile -and blandness of mannerdid not prove a shield
against the heartless malice of those who would for gain nom,-
late their dearest friends.—Dabht Packet, Tuesday.
!''AST-DAY AT n A.MfLTON.—Notwithstanding the factious
exertions made by some party-coloured demagogues, from the
Pithiest upwards. .for a deman-stration on the day of the national
fast, it went off, upon the whole, much better than could have
been anticipated. All the respectable shops, both of Churchmen
and dissenters, were shut—only a few huxterv-shop doors and
windows of the low Irish, and of some other persons little reinov-
ed above them in tank or information, being left open. His
Grace the Duke of Hamilton paid all his labourers their wages,
hut would not allow any of then to work. Some colliers who
had been at the fair of West-quarter on the previous week. and
who had wrought none since, like good voluntaries, but indif-
ferent Christians, were anxious to begin on that day,-uuder pre-
tence of working by piece-work, but his grace's overseers would
not tolerate the profanation: The dissenting-houses, except
one, were all shet—althongh no repairs had previoesly been go-
ing on there, yet the fast-day was purposely selected for begin-
ning the "good, wnk," and the sound of the 'carpenter's tools,
and the mason'slimaliet, and singing and whistling, and loose
words, were substituted. in place of the.sound of the gospel.
RISING ro Oanert.—Mr. A.: "I rise to order. The conduct
of Mr. H. is disgraceful."—Mr. "I rise to order. Mr. A.
is a great liar."—Mr. C.: "I rise to order. Mr. A. and Mr. B.
are both wrong. In-fact their. language is unparliamentars ;
indeed, they are two blackguards.''—Mr. D.: " I rise to order.
You (to Mr. C.) are a 41—d liar."—Mr. C. ;. I rise to order.
You're another."—Mr. B : (with great agitation, and rising
to order,) "You're all a set. Of low vagabonds."---The Speaker:
" Really, gentlemen, this is beneath the dignity of the house,
and I must call upon you to retract your offensive expressions."
Mr. C.: "Certainly, if Mr. A. did not mean what he said,
could not ntstati what I said; sot, as what I said .dependa upon
what he said, though I called him a scoundiel,..a liar, and
blackguard, yet I most' . 'retract those. expressions as
far as anything personal could.-be, understood as having refe-
rence toihe-konourable members."—Mr, B.: " Then I stn per,
fectly satisfied."—Mr. A.: " And I."—Mr. B.: "And I."—

Ttis CICERONE 'oe MELROSE ABREY.—Johnny Bower, one
of Scott's servants at Abbotsford, who used to show Melrose
Abbey to the poet's visitor', could not hear that any other
_pro-
duction of his should be preferred to the " Lay of the Last
Minstrel." " Faith," said he to Washington Irving, who
relates the circumstance in his" Miscellanies," " its just e'enas good a thirties Mr. Scott has Written; and if he were man-
fling there I'd tell hire s?, an' then he laugh." was loud in
his praises of the affabaffability of Scott. " He'll come here some.
times " said he, 'i with great folks in his company, and the
first I'll know of it is hearing his voice calling out 'Johnny !
johnnv Bower!'—au' when I go out I am sure to be greeted
with a-joke or a pleasant word. He'll stand and crack an'
laugh w)' me just like eta' swirl wife, and to think that of a mon
that has such an awfu' knowledge o' history !" One of the
ingenious devices in which the worthy little man prided himself,
was to place a visitor opposite to the abbey, with his back to it,
and bid him bend down end look at it between his legs. This,.
he said. gave an eutirely different aspect to the min. Folks
admired the plan amazingly ; but as to the "teddies," they
were dainty in the matter, and contented themselves with look--
iti;.r from under their arms.
