SpnFluky ThspßANcinsEmENT.—The governmeta
have determined to disfranchise the borough of Sudbury,
on account of the bribery committed therein, and to erase
it from the representation.

Lord Sandon presented a petition to the House of
Commons, on Friday. from the wood-sawyers of LiVer.
pool, praying for protection against the steam-sawyers, br
whom they were thrown out of employment to the num-
ber of 800 or 900 persons.
On and after Friday next the London mail train no 4
leaving Lime-street at eight o'clock in the evening, iv",.
leave at a quarter past. The object of this change, which
is made by order of the Postmaster-General, is to accele"
rate the mail.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—A dramatic company (dam:
siderable talent has, for the last few weeks, appeared at
this theatre, playing the most approved pieces of eminell,/
authors, ancient and modern, with excellent success ; an
the crowded houses prove that the selections, which al°
all confined to what is called the legitimate drama, illy
such as merit public approval.

THE CouET.—The Queen and Prince Albert 11
Buckingham Palace, in an open carriage and four, at 2
minutes past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, et
corted by a party of Lancers, for Claremont. 'Biel'
Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Prince se
Royal were in the next carriage. The Court is expected
to return to Buckingham Palace to-day (Tuesday.)
OVERLAND MAIL.—In reply to an application fro,°!,
the East India and China Association at this port, t°l
Assistant Secretary of the General Post-office has stated
that the " 7th of each month is the day appo nted for the
despatch of the India mail, via Marseilles ; and, wbea
that day falls on Sunday, the despatch of that mail vo
take place on the evening of the Bth."
THE ORANGEMEN IN CANADA.—SOMe of the United
States journals are kind enough to take the affairs of
Canada under their protective care, and they predict the
worst consequences from the "coquetry," as they al'
lege, of the Governor-General with the Orangemen
of Upper Canada ; but why coquetry, why any dis-
guise ? The Union between the Government everywhere
and the Orangemen is a legitimate union. The Orange'
man is the living representative, and the only living
representative of the old English Whig. He is the chain"
pion, wherever his lot is cast, of the liberty, the religion'
and the honour and interests of England. England is
country under whatever climate he may have first seen
the light—the liberty of an Englishman is his inheritance
—the pure religion of England, his hope here and here'
after ; and the security to England of every dependency
will be in the exact proportion to the number and influ-
ence of such men whom that dependency may contain'
It will be always the policy of the enemies of this nation
to recommend the discountenancing of Orangemen,
ac-
cording to the moral of the great orator's fable of the
dogs, the sheep, and the wolves. But we trust that see
have outlived the suicidal stupidity that allowed the argtv_
ments of the enemy to prevail over gratitude and commo?
sense ; indeed, there is no appearance of such a triumph
to folly on the part of Sir Charles Metcalfe.
