his Irish landlord that the people of his village were so few
oldso poor, that he was unable as formerly, to find customers
s whole bullock—" Kill hafr a one at a time," replied the
Squire.
LIDELIN COUNTY.—An address has been presented to Mr.
4enrge Hamilton, to come forward as a Conservative candidate
411- the county of Dublin. Among the names affixed to this
,
kument are those of four Irish peers, two of 'whom have seats
Ip parliament---they are Lords Longford, Clan Carty, Rathdown,
alnl. Langford.
b,MEN WISE IN THEIR OWN CONCEIT.—It is not possible,
'4 a conceited man must be a fool. For, that overweening opi-
ticin he hath of himself, excludes all opportunity of purchasing
:11owledge. Let a vessel be once full of never so base liquor, it
41. not give room to the costliest ; but spills beside whatsdever
8 infused. The proud man, though. he be empty of good sub-,
:ance yet is full of conceit. Many men had proved wise, if
'''"eY had not thought themselves so.—Bishop Hall.
oNEW LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.—A new engine, made by Messrs.
p-t all), Roberts, and Co., of Manchester, has lately been- tried
the railway with nine waggons—weight about 36 tons. It
%fled from Chat Moss for Manchester, and the quickest speed
It attained was eight miles an hour. The cylinders are of the
'alue size as Messrs. Stephenson's engine—the Sampson, which,
'4l the same ground, will draw 180 tons at the rate of fifteen
files an hour. The engine .made by Messrs. Galloway and
called the Caledonian, the cylinders of which are two
Telles less than the one. made by Messrs. Sharp and Co., will
draw 150 tons, on the same ground, at the rate of 13 miles an
'our. The weight of the two engines is very nearly the same.
THE PRESS.—What ought the press to be ? The authorised
i.e,aiele of public opinion, the wholesome guardian of national
uerty, the guide of public morals, the preserver of sound reli-
.;Z°4. What is it ? The organ of disappointed ambition, or
:Le trade of men writing for-bread. One man prints the folly.
Wickedness of his own brain, stamps upon it the editorial

Another prints, net-what he thinks, but what will sell.

EXCLUSIVE DE-Ausro.—We regret to find that attempts arc
made at Bury and Oldham;to.-restrict the voters of these bo:
.k'lghs in -the free and honest exercise of thb elective trust. At
~,keeting of.12;000 persons lately held at Bury, it was unani-
;',ously resolved, "not to spend a single penny with any elector
f, Q 0 shall give his vote to the enemy of the people,"—or, in
fs.ther words, who :shall xvithhold his ' vote from Mr. Edward
"'randy, the radical candidate For the purpose of aiding this
tantialotis attempt, lists of the voters for each candidate are to
Published immediately after the election, specifying their
illlective occupations and residences. At Oldham a placard
11_8 been published by the Political Union calling upon the in-
irbitants to adopt a similar course. There is no doubt, we be-
4eve, that these proceedings amount to an illegal conspiracy
en that the parties concerned in them are liable to be indicted
'l* that offence.
ktMANCHESTER ELECTION.—We understand that the town of
i-Onchester, which contains 4293 voters, is divided into eight
ytBtricts, with one booth for each; for which purpose suitaule
gildings have been taken in different parts of the town. The
j°tes for Ardwick, Newton, Hultue, Cheetham, and Chorlton-
jon-Medlock, will be taken in premises situated in the respec-
e townships. The nomination is to take place in St. Ann's-
eliare where temporary hustings will be erected against the
ulngs of the churchyard; and, after the close of the poll, the
ih4llt of the election will be officially announced by the return-
tilts, at the same place. It has been agreed, by the friends of
he e res ective candidates, that no flags, banners, or music sball

,THE STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY.—The committee of the
I)langers' Friend Society, in submitting to the benevolent
tii(dic of Liverpool the resolutions passed at their meeting of
the 3rd instant, declaratory of the present exhausted state of its
feel that some explanation is due to them of the causes
"'eh have led to the present embarrassed circumstances of the
tj'iejety. Allusion is made in those resolutions to the chief of
tiese causes, the general want of employment by the labouring
Lasses during the last six months, and the peculiar privations

NOTTINGHAM has at last a chance of redeeming its character.
Capt. Gordon stands for the town, on the Conservative interest,
of course. We copy the Nottingham Journal's, announcement
of the event with,heartfelt gratification :—" J.,E. Gordon,, Esq.
M.P., has complied with the invitation of an influential body
of the electors, and offered himself as a candidate for the repre-
sentation of Nottingham. If talents of the highest order; if a
conscientious attachment to the principles of the British consti-
tution; if correct views on all questions of policy; if an anxious
desire to improve the condition of the working classes, to reform
every detected abUse, be recommendations to the good opinion
of our fellow-townsmen,, then will Nottingham have the distin-
guiihed honour of returning, as its representative, one of the
most eminent members of the British senate."

E EX-SPEAKE n.---Mr. Manners Siittons had an audience
of his Majesty on Monday, at St. James's-palace, for the pur-
pose of soliciting the favour usually awarded by the Sovereign
to the Speaker of the House of Commons, on the eve of a dis-
solution of Parliament, of remaining in his official residence
until the appointment of his successor ; which it is understood
the King was graciously pleased to grant. At ten o'clock on
Tuesday night, a deputation from the University of Cambridge,
consisting of the Rev. Dr. Chafy, Master of Sidney Sussex
College, Mr. Tatham, President of St. John's, and Mr. Terry,
Fellow of Trinity, arrived in Palace yard, and solicited the ex-
Speaker to come forward for the University, on the Tory inte-
rest, in conjunction with Mr. Goulburn, it-having been an-
nounced that Mr. Yates Peel retires, and that the ministry do
not intend, at present, to call up Mr. Manners Sutton to. the
Houie of Peers. The right honourable gentleman, having
taken farewell of his constituents at Scarborough, acceded to
the wishes of the requisitionists ; and on Wednesday morning
lie left Palace-yard for Cambridge. Goulburn met the de-
putation at Mr. Manner Sution's residence, and conferred with
them on the subject of his re-election. We understood that the
Speaker was confident, .at the adjournment of •Parliament, that
•he would shortly receive the dignity of the peerage. The rea-
son assigned for his non-elevation is said to be his political opi-
nions, which, from education, family connexions, and association,
are decidedly Tory. '
