LORD CHANDOS AND THE WEST INDIA PROPRIETORS.-The SUM of 3,0001.
which was raised by the West India Proprietors for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the Marquis at the Buckinghamshire election, was not a. loan, we find, but a g bestowed'on.the under- standing that he would continue to be a zealous supporter of their cause in Parliament. The money was raised by a private subscription among the proprietors, of 1001. each ; and it is easy to conceive how these " charitable donors" must have been vexed and annoyed, on this sum being accepted by the noble Marquis, to find him relinquish his seat as Chairman of their meetings, and vote against them in every division this session. But Lord CHANDOS will pay off all these scores, by the bill which he is to bring in next session for the relief of the country.
