In the Middlesex election the Conservatives have played at "double

or quits," and have lost the game. They might have brought in Mr. Wood without the least difficulty, but they considered that as only half the game. To attempt any thing less than to unseat Mr. flume, they deemed unworthy their efforts. They, therefore, gave Mr. Byng more Allan thirteen hundred votes, lest he, instead of Mr. flume, should be the rejected candidate. Had they withheld this aid, the venerable Whig would have been left at the bottom of the poll, and would have terminated for ever his Parliamentary career.—Morning Post.
