FREAKS OF THE People, at the late election for
members of the British Parliament:
The return of Baron Rothschd. the well known
banker TO represent the city Of London in Parliament,
has caused the greatest dissatisfaction among Protest
ants. Lord John Russell, however, considers it
great triumph TO the principles of religious liberty
Baron Rothsch'ld, Jew, and adopting the Jewish
religion, cannot take the oath when he takes his seat
In the House of Commons but bill will undoubtedly
be framed to suit his particular case.
One Of the most extraordinary incidents which has
taken place during the elections is the rejection of
Mr.. Macauley, the most brilliant speaker and writer
Of the day, and the return in his place of man
wholly unknown to fame, unknown TO the town
council of Edinburgh! Mr.. Cowan, paper maker
and advocate of excise reforms and beer drinking, is
returned instead Of the brilliant and eloquent Macau
ey-a man who is 'one of the brightest of
his country-a man who is admired wherever the
English language is read" as Mr.. Black Justly re-
marked when he heard of the return of Mr.. COwan,
which is disgrace TO the people of Edinburgh.
Equally strange perhaps is the rejection of such
man as Sir J. Hobhouse, Cabinet Minister, who has
been beaten at Nottingham by Feargus o'COnner, the
leader Of the Chartists
But if Bulwer, Macauley and Warren, three popu-
lar writers rejected, there still Monckton,
Talfourd and DR.. Browning elected members.
Roebuck is dismissed from Bath, and the cotton
spinner and hard working advocate of cornlaw repeal
Mr.. Fleden, meets with similar treatment from the
people of Oldham, who have returned Mr.. Fox the
League orator and Unitarian preacher.
Hudson, the Railway King, Stephenson, the emf
nent Engineer. Locke, equally eminent. Peo, the
extensive Railway contractor, Cubtt, the builder.
Chaplin, the carrier, and Wyld the map seller of
Charing Cross, are all elected.
The OREGON TERRIToRY.-A curious fact transpired
at the Glasgow election. Mr. MGregor of the
board of trade of the candidates, stated that at
the time our ambassador at Washington, the Hon.
Mr. Pakenham, refused TO negotiate on the 49th par
alle of north latitude the basis of treaty, and
when by that refusal the danger of a rupture between
Great Britain ard America became really imminent,
MIR. Daniel Webster formerly Secretary Of State, TO
the American government, wrote a letter to Mr..
MGregor, in which he strongly deprecated MIR.
Pakenhams conduct, which, if persisted in and adop
ted at hone would to certainty, embroil the two
countries, and suggested equitable compromise
taking the 49th parallel the basis of the adjustment
Mr.. M'Gregor sent the letter to Lord John Russell
who gave Mr.. M'Gregor permission TO intimate tc
Lord Aberdeen that he (Lord John RusselD quite
agreed with MIR. Webster. This expression of a
statesman in opposition, doubtless relieved Earl Aber
deem of any apprehension of from that quar-
ter; but Mr.. MGregor claims for himself and Lord
John Russell the merit of having thereby contributed
essentially TO preserve the peace Of the world-LfU
erpoOl Times.
BREAD rerSus BULLETs.-The Americans having
noby supplied food for the Irish, we shall look a
their flag with increased respect. Their stripes shall
be to significant of a gridron and their stars Of
sugared buns Glad are to find that the American
subscriptions have been so noby acknowledged in the
House of Commons. These thanks for bread vii. &c
far to keep bullets out of fashion. The Indian hsa
Book is, to our mind, much more delightful volume
than any History Of The American War, and the d.
rections therein written for the composition Of homl
ny cakes and sap-lacks far better than any talk o.
redcoat tactics Bombs have had their day; let u:
henceforth try buns; and wherever America has bat
tered Ships let her. for all time to come balte
our fry ing pans. To paraphrase the pieman, "Browr
Johnny-cakes is n-Congreye rockets is out. y
