the former might have suited an old-fashioned person like the defunct , the things were not congenial to his taste , and he wanted some good modern furniture . He then selected a new Brussels carpet , and subsequently , by instalments , as the others were delivered , curtains , chairs , bedding , & c , to the amount of 60 Z . The last things were delivered on Saturday , when the customer requested his bill , as it " made him miserable" to owe anything , and said , if they looked in on Tuesday he would discharge it .

" The commissioners appointed to enquire into the bribery at Cambridge have made a report . They give the proved details of the briberies effected at successive elections . They thus conclude : — "We find that at all elections for the borough of Cambridge , to which our inquiry has been directed , treating has extensively prevailed on behalf of the

He asserted that it was essentially necessary that tho Commissioners should bo supported in their investigations , because he knew the power of the corporation of London , and he declared to them that it was an immenso
power . As a former member of the Common Council , he had no hesitation in saying that the management , of tho corporation was corrupt . Mr . Jones , in a lengthened speech , dwelt ; upon tho theory of the corporation , and hoped that the time would coin *! when the dignity of labour and the skill of tho handicraftsmen of London would be recognised , as of yore , through tho medium of the various guilds of the city . He bolieved that if 11 Plato were to visit the earth to project a new republic , he would take the theory of the corporation of the city of London as his model .
