LORD HARTINGTON. A London correspondent writes :—lt is probable that Lord Hartington's return to England will be followed by a meeting of the Unionist party. One or two of the Unionists who were in favour of the Land Bill on its introduction are now said to be more than half disposed, if not to vote against the second reading, at all events to oppose strongly some of the provisions of the measure.  There was one monstrous statement in Mr. Caine's speech which I cannot let pass. It will amuse those who know Mr. Caine best to hear from his own lips that he is not a party-man, was not elected as a party-man, and that really he never was a party-mau! If he had said that in the future he would not be a party-man it would have been nearer the truth, because the time is not far distant when the Liberal-Unionist party will be known no more. But it is worse than quibbling on the part Of lir. Caine to prove himself a " politician " as distinguished from a "party-man." For the greater part of his political career he has been a Party-man pure and simple. We shall be having inn prefer a claim to be a statesman next, because be has taken the London barmaids under his protection and has conceived the idea of draughting a bill for shortening their hours of labour. To what spieer subterfuges will a " politician " sometimes resort to regain the lost support of an aggrieved constituency ?  A SENSATIONAL SUICIDE AT LANClSTER.—Margaret Linthwaite, of 17lleswater-road, Lancaster, wife of William Linthwaite, labourer, who on Thursday was committed for trial on a charge of attempting to poison himself, died on Monday morning, a few hours after having cut her throat with a razor. She was to have appeared as a witness against her husband, on Monday, at the Lancaster Quarter Sessions. She leaves a large family. The affair has caused some excitement in the neighbourhood. Gold and silver English Lever Watches, keyless or key-winding, of the highest quality. Also the celebrated prize medal Waltham Levers, at lowest prices and best value in the market for the quality. Oar watches have a reputation for first-class timekeeping. (See testimonials, to be had on application.) Every watch warranted. Also, every description of first-class Diamond and Gold Jewellery—best Electro-Plate, &c., lowest possible prices for quality—at W. T. Sway's, Watch Manufacturer, Jeweller, &c., 244, Dalton-road (near Abbey-road), Barrow. [5797  Mr. James A. Duncan, the Liberal candidate, has heen spending a few days in Barrow this week, and taaking the acquaintance of many of those whom he hopes to know as his future constituents. Mr. Duncan has been well-received everywhere, and he will undoubtedly become a popular candidate. Arrangements will shortly be made for holding a great Liberal demonstration in the borough, when it is hoped to bring down one or two important Politicians. Perhaps it may save some discussion iii say that Mr. Duncan is 32 years of age, and is therefore older than he looks.  Mr. W. G. Ainslie, M.P., returned to Tilverston eh Tuesday night restored to health, but £2B poorer than he ought to have been. Perhaps I had better "Vain. The hon. member for North Lone&le eras voyaging from the Pirrena to Constantinople in otie of the Austro-Hungarian Lloyd steamers. It wag a bad passage. Mr. Ainslie was sick—for 38 11°nee• When he recovered, the loose gold from his trousers, which were rolled up in an adjacent bunk, was missing. Whether it was the stewards, the sailors, or a professional Levantine thief who ebbed the English M.P., Mr. Ainslie would like k know.
