DISTRICT DAVID J. HAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. 13. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. The Congressional Canvass. A. 11. Colquitt, the Democratic candidate for Con gress in the second Congressional district, will address his fellow-citizens at the times and places following: Buena Vista, Wednesday 24th August; Oglethorpe, Thursday 25th, “ Other distinguished Democrats will be present and participate in the discussion, among whom are Thomas C. Howard, Esq., and Hon. Walter T. Colquitt. Onr Foreign Relations—Protection to Ameri can Citizens abroad It was a matter of remark, shortly after the Inauguration of President Pierce, that he looked firmly in the eyes of President Fillmore when he announced that memorable sentence in his address—“He (the Ameri can citizen) must realize that upon every sea, and on every soil, where our enterprise may rightfully seek the protection of our flag, American citizenship is an inviolable panoply for the security of American rights.” The contrast between the bold Americanism of the Democratic President, and the feeble and timed Con servatism of the Whig President, caused men to regard, what was intended merely as an honest and frank dec laration of a principle inherent in the faith of every Democrat, as a reproof of the conduct of the preceding Administration. We were never the apologists of Lo pez and his unfortunate but gallant comrades. The enterprise was lawless, and their fate the necessary result of their crimes. But after their array was bro ken, their leader captured, their men in chains, our hearts rebelled against the decree of the ruthless des potism which consigned them to a felon’s grave, with out the form of a legal trial, secured as it was too by the faith of treaties between America and Spain, and without one word of remonstrance from Fillmore or his cabinet. Where was “Old Hickory” then? If he had then filled the Presidential chair, the combined power of our army and navy would have been sunk be neath the walls of Moro castle, or the blood of Critten den would have been avenged. But we forbear. It is not our intention now to comment upon the pusillanimi ty of the past Administration ; but to exult in the iron nerve of our present chief magistrate. We have published heretofore the astounding intelli gence that Spain had accepted the guarantee of Eng land, that she shall hold the Island of Cuba against the world, provided she will consent to the abolition of sla very within the space of fifty years. We incline to the opinion that it is true. Though it is as clear as the noon-day, that England must eventually rely upon the United States of America, to aid her in the struggle with the power of Russia, which eventually awaits her, unless she shall consent to become the vassal of the Czar, it is unfortunately true that this proud empire looks with jealousy upon our rising greatness, and lets no opportunity slip of curbing our high career. At any rate, we are informed by the Washington corres pondent of the Republic, that this report is credited by the cabinet of President Pierce, and has been referred to Davis and Dobbin for consideration, and we are as sured that as soon as these gentlemen have communi cated the result of their deliberation to the President, that he will make a decision, “and that it is the inten tion of the executive, should any emergency arise, to maintain at all hazards the interests of his Southern friends.” That, gentlemen, Is the language of our Northern President, whom the Conservatives of Georgia are abusing as the enemy of the South and her institutions ! Not only has he given us the amplest assurances in his Inaugural that the provisions of the constitution and the laws based thereon in favor of the South shall be rigidly enforced, but he pledges himself “to maintain at all hazards the interests of his Southern friends. What say the Conservative press of Georgia now in respect to the abolition affinities of President Pierce? Will they not have the manliness to retract the charge as a slander upon our worthy Chief Magistrate and join with us in giving his Administration a cordial support ? If the foregoing facts are true, they will array against him the whole force of Northern sentiment and opinion, and Abolitionism will commence an attack upon his Administration which for bitterness will be unparalleled in the party annals of the country. Let the South then rally around his standard to a man, and uphold their ohampion. He is fighting our battles, and we cannot desert him without treason to our native land. Another occurrence has taken place in the waters of the iEgean worthy of mention along with the heroic achievements of Greece in her palmiest hour. Kosta, an aid of Kossuth, and one of the heroic band who rushed upon the serried array of Austrian despotism in defense of his native land and was crushed along with his country and his country’s liberties by the iron tread ot the Czar, was ruthlessly torn from the protection of Turkish laws and thrown bound in chains into the hold of an Austrian ship in the port of Smyrna. An exile from home, a wanderer upon the face of the earth, he had sought the protection of our flag, he had trod the soil ot our country, he had declared his intention to be come a citizen of the United States. This was enough. Our Commodore in that far off sea had read the declara tion of our patriotic President in his Inaugural, before referred to, and like a gallant son of South Carolina as he is, he unfurled the bannered stars and with cannon fill ed to the muzzle with messengers of death, he straight way bearded the minion of despotism in his den, and demanded the release of an American citizen. He knew he was backed by the Commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and that though he might be crushed, his heroic daring would illumine one of the brightest pages in our country’s annals, and his blood oe avenged. He was strong in his confidence tu the man who had the courage to declare that “upon every sea, and on every soil, wbsre our enterprise m sy rightfully seek the protection of our flag, American citizenship is an inviolable panoply’ for the security of Amerioan rights.” We glory in such achievements. It fires our A.meri °°( ‘ lou 'l of our country, we would have her everu^p 6016 ever y sea and her .citizens secure > n walkunhar’ a‘ 8 of E gland, .‘.hat her subjects’ unharmed through the and 6and , Qf Arabjaj aQ< j , that the wild Tartars at the Antipodes tremble at the roar of the British lion. We would have the name of American citizen dearer to the hearts of our citizens and more terrible at the ends of the earth than any other name under heaven. With such Presidents as Pierce, and such Commodores as Ingraham, that time will soon arrive. County Nominations. The Democracy of DeKalb county have nominated John Collier for the Senate and Messrs. George R. Smith and Greenville Henderson for the House of Rep resentatives. John Collier is the Union Democrat who recently declined the nomination of the Conservative Party for the Legislature. He could not be bought by an office. In this respect he is somewhat different from some Democratic gentlemen in our neighborhood. They have in some instances sold out for an office, and in oth ers quit their party because they could not get office. We bid all such timeservers farewell with joy, and hope we shall not be troubled with them any more. One such man as Collier is worth a regiment of Hes sians. Native Americanism Revived. W e see in the Herald that this odious faction has been revived. They very recently held a meeting in Philadelphia and published an address to the world, in which they denounced President Pierce for many ; things, but first and foremost, because he has appoint ed Foreigners to office, and concluded by saying, “ei ther the American born or Foreign born must rule America.” It is hardly necessary to remark that the Democrat ic party has steadily upheld the right of the Foreigner j to a full and free participation in all the rights and privileges of American citizenship. This was a well known article of the Democratic creed. It is absurd, therefore, for the native Americans of Philadelphia, or of Georgia, to denounce our Democratic President for carrying out a Democratic principle by giving offices alike to Foreign or native born citizens. He would have been recreant to the faith that is in him, if he had done otnerwise. Nor do we object to the vigorous measures of Commodore Ingraham before Smyrna, by which Kosta, a gallant Hungarian, but an American citizen, was rescued from the hangmen of the Austrian despotism. To the native and foreigner who are true to our flag and the principles upon which our liberties rest, we extend the hand of a brother and welcome ihem to a’’ the immunities of freemen. Thisis the sin charged upon Franklin Pierce. Will the Foreigner stand by un moved when friendship to him is made a ground of reproach to our noble hearted President ? Georeia items. The sth District — We are assured by the Rome Southerner that H. V. Johnson’s majority in this dis trict will be at least 3,000. Wilkes county. —The Democrats of this county have nominated Col. C. L Bolton for the Senate, and Lucius J. Gartrell and Jame 6 Harris for the House. Home made Ink. We are indebted to Mr. John E. Lamar, of Musco gee county, for a bottle of Ink of his own manufacture. It is a good article, and we take pleasure in commending it to the public. Hostilities between Honduras and Guatemala. — Advices from Central America, extending up to the 15th of July, state that hostilities have at last commenc ed between the two republics of Honduras and Guate mala, and that the troops of the former, commanded by President Cabanas in person, \vere repulsed in their incursion to Chiquimula, one of the frontier towns, and i suffered a complete rout. It i9 said Honduras has since ! accepted the mediation tendered by Guatemala. The Post Office Department have recently decided | that under the law of 1552, a subscriber residing in the | county in which a paper may be printed and published, j is entitled to receive it through the mails free of post ! age from the postoffice within the delivery of which he j may reside, even though that office may be situated | without the limits of the county aforesaid.

Brunswick and Florida Railroad. —We learn (says i the Macon Journal Messenger ) by a private letter from Brunswick, of the arrival ot that port on the 11th inst., of the brig Northman, 24 days from Boston, with ; an engine and several cars for the Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company. ’ General Paez has taken up his residence permanently in New York. I ouisiana. —The Whigs of the third district, in Con vention at Baton Rouge, have nominated Preston Pond, Jr., of West Feliciana, for Congress. Arkansas Election. —The Wittsburg Messenger says that Judge A. I>. Greenwood, the democratic can didate for Congress in the first district, was elected without opposition. The Postmaster General has established a Post office at Lake Creek in the county of Poik, Georgia, and appointed Abner Darden, Postmaster. The Trainor and O’Donohue duel case was called up in Boston on the 12th, when no one appearing to prosecute, the case was discharged. Frieudly relations have been established between the two parties. An old Dutch lady at a religious meeting, became very much concerned for her soul, and went about s ghing and sobbing, and would not be comforted. Upon being asked by the minister what the matter was, she replied, “thatshe couldn’t pray in English, and she was alraid the Lord couldn’t understand Dutch.” “Doctor,” said a waggish parishioner of good old Parson F— to him one day, “I think that I must have a pew nearer the desk than where 1 now sit.” “Why,” says the Parson, “can’t you hear well where you are 1” “Oh, ye*,” was the reply, “but that ain’t it. The fact is, there are so many people between me and tiie pulpit, that by the time w hat you say gets b;ek to where I am, it is as flat as dish-water /” The Embassy to England. The New York Evening Post denounces the ap po nimem of Mr. Daniel E. Sickles to be secretary ot the American Legation in London, as having created some surprise,and that journal speaks of Sickles as notoriously profligate, and says his per sonal character is such that “the appointment is a serious disgrace to the administration that makes it.” But let us listen to the opinion expressed by one of the leading whig newspapers respecting the qual ifications and character of this same Daniel E, Sick les. The Philadelphia Inquirer is the favorite jour nal of the whig party throughout Pennsylvania— somewhat bigo ed in its sentiments on political matters, and never very willing to bestow the meed of just praise upon any one opposed to its dogmas. That journal speaks thus of the Secretary of Le gation and of the Minister to the English Court.— This eommendatin is clear, brief and to the point. Every one will recognize the eu ! ogium upon Mr. Buchanan as being justly deserved. Mr. Sickles is not so well known. To have his portrait painted on the same canvass with Mr, Buchanan is praise enough to satisfy the ambition of any one. The artist would not have placed them side by side had he supposed that the picture would in the slightest degree be spoiled by contrast. The Mission to London. ‘"lt is rumored that Daniel E. Sickles, Esq., has been appointed Secretary of Legation to England. In him our distinguished Minister, the Hen. Mr. Buchanan, will have a most accomplished assistant. Mr. Sickles is an elegant scholar, a fine linguist, a sound lawyer, and a finished gentleman. It gives us much pleasure to find the English m ss on so emin ent in its qualification, both as to Minister and Secretary. “A better appointed embassy has never within our recollection been assigned to any foreign court by our government. It is true Mr, Buchanan does not belong to our party, yet hisgteat qualifications and acknowledged probity are conceded by the whole country. The nation at large is deeply in terested in the appointment of experienced plenipo tentiaries. They are our coup try’s representatives abroad. When they are of the light mental sta ture, anil eminently fitied for their posts, it is our duty to say so.”— Piiila. Inquirer. We infer from the tenor of most of the lucubra tions of a political nature that appear in the col umns of the Evening Po-t, that its ire against Mr. Sickles owes its origin to the fact that he is a staunch supporter of the constitution, the fugitive law, and the rights of the southern States, and firm in his opposition to the wild vagaries and wicked designs of the abolitionists. Lou. Courier. A Rabid Freesoiler in Office. Hon. Wm. J. Brown, of Indiana, has been ap pointed as Post Office Mail Agent in Indiana, a j highly responsible office. He is a rabi>t freesoiler of the rankest odor. It was this same Hon. Wm J. Brown, vvhe pledged himself to the Hon. D.ivid Wilmotin 1849, wlier a candidate in Congress for the speakership of the House, that ifeleeted Speak er, he would “cons ituie the committees on Territo ries, District of Columbia, in such a manner as would be satisfactory to him and his friends”—the freeso lers. Yet the organs of the. ‘"new order of tilings” 1 mdly pvocl irn that no freeso.lers have been appointed to office by General Pierce.— N. Y. Bulletin. To all this absurd and ridiculous twaddle, Mr. Brown himself replies conclusively. His reply is I in the Indiana Sentinel, of which he is th j editor. I We quote : “The Louisville Journal gives the appointment of Wm. J. Brown as an evidence that President Pierce is bestowing his patronage on freesoiler.-. Does the editor of the Journal know that Wm. J. Brwn on all occasions voted against the Wilmot Proviso, whilst not more than eight Northern Whigs voted with him ; and that lie voted for the compromise, the fugitive slave law inclusive, whilst hut one Northern whig, (Col. Taylor, of Ohio,) vo ’ ted for all these measures ?” We should think such a reply would silence for ever the partisan hacks who speak of Mr. Brown as “a rabid freesoiler.” But will it do sol We shall see. Wili one single whig paper tell its readers I that Mr. B. never voted for the Wilmot Proviso, hut j that he did vote ior the Fugitive Slave Law I We ! shall see again how tar the Whig press are willing ; to do justice to a man who, notwithstanding his j pledge to the freesoilers about framing the commit ; tee on Territories, proved himself in the hour of I need a friend to she South, while a united whig par i tv, with only one exception, rallied under the black 1 banner of the enemy. We admit that Mr. Brown’s I bid to the freesoil members of Congress was a most j unfortunate step in his political history, but ii has a I parallel in Mr. Fillmore’s famous letter to “the Ab olition Society of the County of Erie,” in 1838. Mr. F. wanted to g> ‘to Congress and so bit for abolition votes—Mr. Brown wished to be speaker, and also bid for abolition support—a striking like ness in the two cases. There is this difference, however, between them. Mr. Fillmore rigidly ad hered to his Erie pledges—opposed the admission of Texas on the ground of slavery—favored abolition in the District, and did everything which a determi ned anti-slavery man might do; while Mr. Brown saw the error of his way voted on all occasions against the Proviso, and finally, like an honest, conscientious man, obliterated every remaining ves lige or resemblance of treesoilism by voting for the fugitive slave law. Now with this showing, we ask every candid man, which of these two persons has exhibited the most, “rabid freesoifism”—Mr. Fill more or Mr.Brown?— Floridian. Reported Death of Gen. Lamar. The San An tonio Ledger, of the 28th nit., has the following paragraph : “A report is in town that Gen. Lamar is no more. His name has been identified with the history of Texas from its first settlement by the Americans to the present time. As President of the late Re public he was by turns the subject of inordinate praise and indiscriminate censure.” We trust that this report may be without foun dation. Cen. Lamar’s residence is at Richmond, Texas, some distance from Sail Antonio, and near er to Galveston, in the papers of which city up to the otb instant, no mention is made of his death.— Besides, a letter has just been received from him, by a friend in Mobile, mailed the 23d ult., at which time he was at home and well. Vv e therefore trust ) that the report may be untrue. Should it prove true, however, we can safely and sincerely say that a nobler spirit—intellectual and moral —a mo e gal lant soldier, a puter patriot, a more thorough gen tleman, and a more tasteful lover of letters, has sel dom gone to the silence of the tomb.— Mobile Register. Ecclesiastical Turnpikes. —“ Aye, John,” —said a country preacher to one of his ti ck, whom he had missed fora good many Sundays from the Free Church —“aye, John, so Fin told you’ve begun to j think that we are not in the right road and th;'t you are going back to the Establishment I” ‘W- el, sir,” was the reply. “I * anna deny that I h t’e been ganging that gate ; and I canna just sav that I’ve ony serioos thought o’ turning back in the meantime. But dinna think, minister, that I ha’e ony fault to find wi’ your road—it’s a braw doubtless, and a sale road—but, eh, Sir, the tolls are awful dear !”— Courant. Lord Ellesmere a Fillibuster. This distinguished nobleman has been preaching ! seme very decidedly Fillibusterian doctrine to the good people of Boston. Hear the peroration oi his speech at the Boston School celebration : “The history, the language, the intellectual feats, ot my country shall survive beyond the Atlantic. As 1 look round this room, I am reminded of some lines which one of our minor poets has put into the mouth of.a young husband ad dressing his bride, yet in the bloom of her charms, when, not shrinking from the future, he telis her— ‘And when With envy time transported Shall think to rob us of our joys, You’ll in your girls again be courted, And I’ll go wooing in my boys.’ , “Yes, gentlemen, I’ll go wooing in my boys, ana tno bride will be fame and empire, and the dower will be the waste reclaimed from savage beasts or man more savage, and the issue will be freedom and civilization, freedom tempered by a willing suDmission to legally constituted au thority. and civilization founded on the great text book ot true civilization, the revealed word of God to man.’’ Lord Ellesmere is a man of great distinction in science and literature. It is quite remarkable that so many prominent literary men should be all in clining to the Fillibuster or Expansion doctrine There is Edward Evt etl,who,in iris latter relative to the intervention of England and 1 ranee in Cu ban affairs, admitting in its broadest sense the po tency and the inevitableness of the manifec-t desiiuy, and the right of the United States to extend its ter ritory by acquisitions. Next, Caleb Cushing comes out the most decided ot all tire filibusters. Here are three strong men all standing on the broad ground of the necessity of widening our limits mi* gathering other people and countries under the great banner of Freedom and Republicanism. Lord Ellesmere advises the Boston Boys to set to wmrk and redeem and reclaim lands from savage beasts. That means Cuba, —and we hope his Lordship will, from his large resources, lend the Junta a help ing hand. Gilmer Forever , World without End. —We have been shown a letter written to a friend of this town from the county ot Gilmer, which said, “that. Chas tain and Johnson would carry the county by one thousand votes or more.” This intelligence, we have no doubt, is correct as advance calculations can make it, for the reason, we had an interview with an old sensible and inielhgent friend of ours who stated he was immediately from Gilmer, after a week’s transaction of business, and he was confi dent that Johnson would carry the county by fifteen hundred votes. And further, that there was no set! led opposition to Judge Johnson, and his embar rassment arose from the multitude of Democratic candidates. We put the fifth district for Johnson at five thousand votes. Every leading Whig in the Cherokee country, saying J udge Trippe, is out for Judge Johnson. Dr. Miller, Judge Wright, Cos!. Millner, and Col. Underwood, alt able champions of “equal rights and free suffrage.”— Griffin Jes fersonian. The Recent South Carolina Duel. We published a telegraphic dispatch some days since, announeii g a fatal duel at Charleston, the papers of which city have been silent as to the na ture of the difficulty. The Washing-ton Star of Saturday, however, gives thejollowing particulars: “Mr. Legare was engaged to a young lady in Columbia. Her friends inquired of Donovant what was the character of L. ? This coming to his ears, he inquired of D. what he had answered ; and found that he had spoken tavorably of him. But not satisfied with a verbal statement, he demanded it in writ ng, which was refused. Legate challenged on this refusal The distance was twelve paces. Legare fired at the word “one,” and missed ; Dono vant fired at the word “two,” and killed his antag onist. The survivor was wholly unskilled in the use of the pistoi, having never before had anything to do with a duel. Legare, on the contrary, was notoriously a crack shot, having, a few days before the affair came off, (m pracising,) placed forty eight out of fifty balls in a card at the word. He became very nervous on starting for the grouuo, and remarked that he felt a presentiment that he would fall, notwithstanding his skill with the pis tol. He was formerly in the Navy as a Midship man, from which he was dismissed, it is said, for running a sword through a marine.” Rum Drops. —The New York Times comments i in severe but just lerms of censure upon anew form of confectioenry calculated to cheat the young | and unsuspecting into acquiring a taste for intoxi cating liquors. The disguised emissary ofthe fiend is a sugar preparation of alcohol in the shape f drops of lozenges, and which might be more ap propriately named “Rum Pills.” They are .maim fiici ured by confectioners not as pepper-mint and oili er essential oil drops are prepared by combination, but the brandy, rum, or gin is enclosed in ihe sweet globules. In this fi rm the diops are sold at the most respectable, saloons. Ladies and young girls who would shriek from the touch of the in toxioa’ing cup as they would from pollution, do not hesitate to swallow in this form ihe disguised and sugar coated poison, which is made doubly danger ous by the form in which it is presented to the palate. Grand Indian Council. THE CAMANCHES AND CREEKS. The Fort Smith Herald of the 22d ult., has the following account of a grand Indian council ; I arrived at the grand council ground on tlie I9ih of June, with a party of fourteen Shawnees. We journeyed above the waters of Little river, and found the council shed near the bank of the north fork of Canadian river, in the middle of a small trrove, where was a cold spring. The Indians Lad their respective camps in various directions around, a; a distance of three or lour miles. The Camanches encamped seven miles otf, suspecting an attack from the Creeks—perhaps fearing more that their slaves, of w hom they had many, would be stolen from them. 110 se slaves are mostly Spanish, but, I regret to say, some Americans. I stopped at the Cherokee camp near which the Shawnees encamped, and went with them to the i ground, some two miles, in the morning. Ten or twelve tribes were represented ; of these by far the great-r portion were Camaus hes and Creeks, about j five hundred of each, only small delegations of other ! tribes being present. In fact, ihe matters to be ne- I gotiaied were principally between these two tribes. The Creeks made a formidable show ; all their ! warriors are very large, with tine countenances and i dignified carriage. They are plainly dressed, and sit awaiting the arrival of the Camanches with stoical patieuce. The Cherokee delegation was tolerably large ; a part of them are half breeds,- which lessened their interest to one seeking Indian’ ! novelties. The Kee-chies are here ; a needy set, with wonder strained eyes. The C t munches are coming in a large line over the pra rie, march ng in pomp and savage pagean try-men, (they are all warriors,) women,children, mules and dogs, waving plumes and flashing orna ments. ihe Camanches dismounted, and their horses were immediately taken in charge by ihe boys, some not more than two or three years of age, sane few’ richly dressed in their way, some entnely naked, who got on the horses and sat on them, or rode them around until the return of the party. As soon as the Shawnees appeared on the ground , ‘hey recognized some horses laken from them a year or two ago by the Camanches, and immediate ly tyok possess on of them. The Camanches com- I plained in council,and the Creeps disapproved of! this summary mode, to which the Shawnees replied they and and not care for the Creeks, Camanches, or anybody else, but were going to have their horses. These Indians employed several days in making eternal peace, in shaking hands, passi g round the belt of wampum beads and tobacco—the emblems of treaty —and smoking the long, flat-stemmed pipe of peace. The last day of the council, presents were given by the Creeks lo the Camanches, which were delivered to the chief's for division. As the grand council was breaking up, a Seneca chief said : “We have made friends and brothers ; we have shaken hands the whole length ol the arm ; we have spoken trom the heart, and as we have thus spoken, let us remain brothers for ever.” “Yes,” replied ihe Canumche chief, “if any of you aretrav ellingin our country, and his hor&e gives out, he can walk on home without being molested.” Premium Cottons. —The Augusta Constitution alist of the l7ih inst. says: The committee who have in charge the arrange ments for the next Annual Fair, have been at work, and have all their contracts made for the necessary buildings, &c.

English Aristocracy Coming to Our World's Fair.— We learn, by a letter from a London correspondent, that the Earl of Ellesmere is is coming out to this county, to represent Eng land at the World's Fair to be held in New York. He brings one of his sons, and his daughters, the ladies Egerton, along with him. Allhough among the highest and wealthiest of the English aristocracy, and also prominent in the lite rary world, they are represented to be among the most amiable, unaffected, and unpretend ing. Lady Bulwer, wife ofthe ex-British min ister to the United States, and Lady Ouseley— who, by the by, is an American—have given them letters of introduction to several of their friends in this city. We trust they will be greeted with a frank, generous, dignified, and, above all, unostenta tious hospitality. Let them especially not fall into the hands and guardianship of a certain set, whose obtrusive vulgarity, and impertinent, sel fish, fidgety, would-be-fashionable exclusiveness are more disgusting to real good sense than even the coarsest manners ol the genuine “b’hoys.” 1 lie Countess ol Ellesmere, it is understood, accompanies her husband. She, too, we are told, like the other members ofi the family, is remarkable for kindness and entire absence of pretension. By Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, we perceive that the Earl of Ellesmere was former ly Lord Francis Egerton, having been raised to j his present dignity in the year 1846. He was j born in 1800. His second title is Viscount j Brackley. He is a privy councillor and a deputy I lieutenant of Sutherlandshire, was in the House j of Commons in 1846, as Lord Francis Egerton, j and has been a Lord of ihe Treasury, Chief I Secretary for Ireland, and Secretary at War. I He possesses four princely residences in Eng land, and is a member of the Carlton and Athe naeum Clubs “Shall I cut this loin of mutton saddJewise ?” said a gentleman, carving. “No,” said his friend, “cut it bri dle wise, for then we may all chance to get a bit in our mouths.” A man attempted to seize a favorable opportunity, a few days since, but his hold slipped, and he tell to the ground, considerably injured.
