The rev. gentleman re- cites a fact, trippingly and on the tongue, to every voter whom be visits, ...

... TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER. Sir,-I have met Sir Francis Burdett in much earlier days on various political occasions, when I used to admire the independence he discovered, and with which, as we too well know, the most splendid gifts of nature or of fortune, unless rationally estimated, cannot permanently endow their possessor, for pigmies are pigmies still, though perch'd on Alps.

... A Ramble of Six Thousand Miles through the United States. By S. A. Ferrall, -Esq. .Effisgham Wilson. After the vapid or impertinent course of observation we have been accustomed to encounter in American tours, it is especially agreea- ble to meet with a sensible and unprejudiced traveller,-and such is Mr. Ferrall.

... Party is the madness of many for the gain of a few.-Pops. THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION. X wish you to consider what benefit is likely to be conferred upon the com- mon cause, by the return of a Whig candidate who is, as it were, a reformer and no reformer-who is a reformer here on the Irustings, but canrot be a reformer with his own party-a reformer of whom it is impos- rsible to know what he is, ...

Casimir Pgrier will not survive his present illness, and no one seems to believe that he will recover sufficiently to be again capable of public business.
