We have the painful duty of aanouncing the
sudden and unexpected death of the Hon. R. Bootle
Wilbraham, \l I.'. for the southern division of this
county, some particulars of which will be found in
another column. An able and an estimable man,
a sound Conservative and Churchman, and a zealous
and faithful representative, has gone from amongst
us; and we may go far, perhaps, before we find one
worthy, in private life or in public, to fill his place.

In Parliament Mr. Wilbrahatn never was distin-
guished, or sought to be distinguished, as a speaker;
but his usefulness was perhaps not the less on that
account. His parliamentary attendance was con-
stant ; and his vote, in support of the great inte-
rests of Conservatism, always to be depended upon.
It was in furthering the private business of his
constituents, however, that his value as a represen-

From his place in private committees he
was rarelfabsent, and always unwearied in his devo-
tion of time, and talent of no common order, to the
interests of this county. To those uho have ever
had to wait upon him as members of deputations,
or who have watched his career, no words of ours
are necessary to exalt his merits or to extol his un-
varying affability and kindness, which will be ac-
knowledged equally by men of every political party.

By this lamented event, a vacancy will occur in
the representation of South Lancashire; and so
short may be the interval allowed between the
present time and an election, that we are compelled,
against our feelings, to take this opportunity of
urging upon our Conservative friends the necessity
of prompt arid vigorous steps to prevent even the
possibility of a radical being foisted into the seat.
The League, they may depend upon it, will fight
hard for victory in this central seat of their agitation.
There will be no lethargy on their side—no hesita-
tion to dip deeply into the stock purse, or, if neces-
sary, into the long pockets of its influential mem-
bers. Conservatives must, therefore, be up and
doing. A VIGOROUS PULL; and, despite offaction
and League gold, there is loyalty and intelligence in
South Lancashire sufficient b defeat their efforts,
and seat as its representative A SOUND CONSRR-
