intelligence that a visit had been paid them by the "Le
feu Lord Mayor de Londres !"

"Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd !"
was the natural exclamation uttered, in vehement
French, on these occasions ' and von nay be sure that
the ghost of the " deceased Lord Mayor of London" got
few invitations to renew his visit.

What a sample of the purity of election, and of the
liberality of Liberal candidates, the St. Alban's inquiry
is developing ! Since the pacification effected by the
Reform Act in 1832, Edwards, the gentleman who
managed for the free and independent Liberal candidates
for the sweet voices of the St. Alban's constituency,
acknowledges that not less than £19.000 had gone
through his hands, two-thirds of which went in direct
bribery, delicately called head-money. Those immaculate
gentlemen, Sir Henry Ward, now High Commissioner of
the lonian Islands, Mr. Muskett, Lord Lisrowel, Mr.
Raphael, and last, not least, Mr. Joseph Bell, chymist
and quacker, were the generous payers of the money,
though they, of course, had no hand in the corruption,
and never thought it necessary to ask where their thousands
went to. Nineteen thousands on one side, and a good
many on the other, made up a pretty purse to be distri-
buted among the three hundred bribe-taking electors of
this model reformed borough.
There is another little disturbance in the Cardinal
Wiseman camp. It is said that Lord Edward Fitz Alan
Howard, who lately married the Miss Talbot, rescued
from the clutch of the pious and holy " Bishop of Clif-
den,"-is about to follow the example of the Duke of Nor-
folk, his father, and to renounce the errors of Popery.
Indeed, I believe he has already done so, and that he is
now a member of the Church of England. The cardinal
and the batch of Popish prelates are very wroth. It was
bad enough, they thought, that the young postulant and
her large fortune should he snatched from the " pious
uses" to which they had destined them ; but twat
they should be dedicated to a Protestant, and to Protestant
uses, is beyond endurance. They must bear this as they
can, and many more such disappointments, for, if I am
not much mistaken, the converts from Romanism will be
neither few nor far between in the days that are coming,
Lord Shrewsbury, the uncle of Lady Edward Fi!zallan,
has sent a bit of comfort to the sorrowing nominees of the
Pope, in the shape of £l5O. his subscription to the Irish
Ronnish University, and another £5O, his subscription to
the Catholi. Defence Association. This is, however,
small compensation for the large prize that they have
irretrievably lost. On this subject of Popery there are
some queer rumours afloat. It is whispered that Lord
Campbell has not travelled to the Vatican for nothing ; and
that some sort (Jan " understanding " or " arrangement"
has been patched up between the Sovereign Pontiff and
her Majesty's Ministers. John of Tuam, the most trucu-
lent and audacious officer of the Church militant of
Rome, has

`• Doff'd his lion's hide,
And hung a calf skin on his recreant limbs."

He has become as mild as a real lamb, and instead of im-
pudently violating the law, and defying the Attorney-
General as was his wont, lie now writes himself down not
" Archbishop of Tuam," but plain " John Tuam." This
is significant, and looks as if the Government and his Holi-
ness had come to some amicable terms.

That much-coveted beri h, and most assuredly high-paid
post in the Indian Council, vacant by the death of Mr.
Bethune, has not, I believe, been as yet filled up. It was
thought that Mr. Senior had obtained it ; but there is a
bitch somewhere, and the fortunate man, whoever he is,
who is ultimately to have it, does not yet know his luck
for certain. As may well be supposed, the candidates for
£lOO,OOO a-year are many and pressing. Amongst. others,
Mr. Chas. Pelham Villiers, brother to Lord Clarendon, and
the leading Corn-lawagitator before Cobden's "unadorned
eloquence" was heard of, and Mr. Roebuck, the cutting
and sharp-pointed Sheffield blade, are understood to have
good chances. The Tapers and Tadpoles are in a dreadful
flurry about this glorious windfall, and the men of highest
pretensions among them accost each other in something
like the following dialogue :
" TAPER.—Catch it, clutch it; for, zounds ! it is worth, it is
worth—
, TADPOLE.—What?

It is difficult.to refrain from putting one's thumb irreve-
rently to the nose, and exclaiming in the language of
Punch,—" Don't you wish you nifty get it ?"
