Mr. John Homily has resigned the Recordership of the borough
of Ludlow.
The corporation of Lichfield having reelected the old Mayor to re- fill the civic chair, he paid the fine rather than serve the office. The choice of the Council then fell upon Mr. Allen ; who preferred paying the fine of 1001, rather than serve. Mr. Worthington was the next elected ; and he also put down his 1001. fine in preference to taking upon himself the Mayoralty. The Council could with difficulty pre- vail upon any person to accept the office ; but at last Mr. Brassiugton consented.— Sttprd Herald.. - We stop the press to announce a glorious victory achieved over the Peclites in Tainworth. by the election of Mr. Fellows, by a ma- jority of ten votes over Sir Robert Pea's man.

Honour to the Townsend party, tchethr:r &plum's or of other opinions, who fought for independeece ! They have resolved, and they will
succeed further. Thu Liberal party consists of men of principle.

Had the fate of the Ministry or the desti- nies of an empire been at stake, the country newspaper could scarcely have been more grandiloquent.;
