ROSS AND CRON' ARTY.

We have highly favourable accounts from these counti's, and
have reason to expect that Applecross will be successful. It
will be a close run.

BERWICKSHIRE ELECTION.
.To defeat a person like-Sir Francis Blake is, we believe, no
great triumph; but the real whig candidate at this election was
Mr. Majoribank. Sir )Francis was a mere stalking-horse. Sir
Irugh Campbell has, therefore, great reason to congratulate
the electdrs upon this occasion. By the way, is it not "shock-
ing" to see openly announced in the whig papers that Lord
Minto has liberally contributed to defray the expenses of Sir
Francis Blake? Why was Lord Warwick " pulled up" for the
very same offence ? Why is Lord Minto lauded ? le consist-
ent liberals, we pause for a reply !

\VINTEJ-A DIRGE.

BY LORD .VISCOUNT PALMERSTON.

" Why, if the Administration really meant to pursue, &c.,
then was be (Lord P.) at a loss to know why they were called
tiport, IN THE DEPTH OF WINTER, TO MEET IN THE OPEN
A to to elect fresh Representatives to serve them in Parliament."

Not a leaf on bush or tree
To cheer the eye. Ah, rue!
And the breeze athwart my cheek
Is. wintry, rude, and bleak !
Yet: here we're forced to stand
•At WELLINGTON'S command,
Our feelings to declare,
All in theopen air!
Electors of South Hants!
We- Whigs supplied your wants.
To guide and guard at home
You'd a Itussau, and a Duet:Gress;
While abiriatl, the British fame
Was coupled with stv
- -Why then-herestand We bate:
Ail in the open air?
Why did ALTHORP'S father die?
Mournful Echo answers "Why?"
'Twas but to work our bale,
And make the Tories rail;_
But most they rail at. me,
As the sturdy scoffers see
My gentle soul's despair,
All in the open air!
Had it happen'd in the Spring
Or Suanuer, why the thing
Might he borne, or in the days
or Autumn's mellow rays;
But ahroal to be thus toss'd,
In the ruthless reigirof frost,
Must chop these hands so fair—
All in the open air!
The Duke may brave all storms
In their most appalling forms;
And the genial glOw of zeal
May wain the breast of PEEL.
As for thrtursicE, he'd stand fast
If the Devil rode the blast
But I'm more lamb than bear,
All in the open air!
Then, worthy Sirs, make haste,
For I'm aching in the waist,
And the botkir quick again
I would-seek to soothe my pain!
Choo,c me, and I'll oppose
The Tories, Worst of toes, .
And every danger dare,
All but the o.,en air!

NoTz 11Y THE Eniron,—Lest some sensitive persons mar
feel alarmed as to the fate of Curio in consequence of such s&
we, beg to say that, by twisting the ample fold of
vere exp—os:ure,
a gannet vestment round his neck, and swallowing a cup of
candle, he has avoided a cold, which even Hotspur pronounces

thirrANNIA.—To Charles the Second's partiality to his ac-
complished cousin, Frances Stuart, we owe the elegant repre-
sentation of Britannia ou our copper. coin. He admired and
even idolized this celebrated beauty. It was from one of the
Medals struck to perpetuate her delicate symmetry that Bri-
tannia was stamped in the form she still hears on our coin.
We regret to sec, from the reported :rpeeches at the dinner
given on Tuesday to, Captain Pedal by his Constituents at
Ilrigliton; that another operation qui that gallant Officer's leg, is
deentedueceSsary.
