His oratorical efforts at the Union were not very striking, but he rowed in his College Torpid, [corrinvuED.] which was bumped four times. March 13.—Left Billsbury this morning by nine o'clock train, | Billsbury Standard. The era of indecision is past. In another column we give a full account of the important meeting of the Council of the Conservative oy ay by - ap le night for purpose select- ing a Conservative Candidate for Billsbury. The proceedings were enthusiastic and unanimous... Mr. Ricmarp B. Parris, the selected Conservative Candidate, is a young man of the highest promise. He had a distinguished career at Oxford, where heobtained honours in History, and repre- sented his College in the Torpid races for eight-oared crews. Since then he has been called to the Bar, where he has already secured a lucrative practice.... His speech last night had the right ring about it. It was oo, ractical, convincing, modest Teeided, thoroughly in harmony with the best itions of the Conservative party, and remark- able for the proof it afforded of the devotion of Conservatives at all times to the highest interests of the working classes. We have no hesitation in declaring, as that with such a Candidate to oppose him, the fate of Sir Tuomas Cuvsson may be considered as already decided. If only all Con- servatives will put their shoulders to the wheel and work hard, the stigma under which Billsbury now labours will be swept away. A Mass Meeting of Conservative electors will be held on an early date to ratify the decision of the Council, and inaugurate the period of hard work throughout the constituency. an awful thing happened. M Colonel Coorx ie did last night, this I suppose the Meteor people think that witty. 13 other, of course, wanted to see the | ¥ pepers, so I gave herthe Standard, with which she was much and came back to London.

However, I've had shoals of letters from the place — ft ' ptions. The Five Bars Cricket Club, the Lilies Cricket Club, the Buffaloes Cricket Club, and the Blae Horse Cricket Clab have all elected mea vice-president, and solicit the honour of my support. The Billebury Free Dispensary is much in want of funds, and the Secretary points out that Sir Taomas Cavussow has subscribed £5 regularly every year. The United Ironmongers’ Friendly Society wishes me to be an Honorary Member. Cuvunsow subscribes £2 2s. to them. The Billsbury Brass Band, and three Quoit Clubs (the game is much played there) have elected me a member. The Secretary of ormer sent me a printed form, which I was to fill up, stating what instrument I meant to play, and binding myself to attend at least one Band practice every week. Three *‘ cases of heartrending distress” have appealed to me, “knowing the goodness of my heart.” I shall have to consult ToLtayD, or some one, about all this. I get the Mefeor and the Standard every day. The former goes on chaffing. Don’t think Jeneam, in the Standard, writes as smartly as the other chaps. Mast try to get him stirred up a bit.

Tuesday.— Narotron B. Botton strolled down to House to-night, intending to hear what Tomirssow had to say on Emigration arrangements. In family circle it has always been considered that, as far as personal re- semblance to Napotzow Bowapakte goes, the late Prince Jznome wasn't in it with the Member for St. Pancras. Botton blushingly - s the fond little fancy ; but he is of indly disposition ; not inclined to insist on his opinion in controversy to other pave. Indeed, has gone so far as to furnish him- self with fancy dress, fashioned on the style of that worn by the great Napoizon on State occasions. To-night, been at a children’s party, showing himself in his uniform. Am told that, when he folds his arms, throws back his head, and recites, ‘‘ On Linden, when the sun was low,” you would think the Great Emperor had come back from St. Helena. Intended to-night to create sensation in House. Doubted whether, as he was not about to move the Address, he would be permitted to enter with sword by his side. But he would be free of the smoke- room ; might posture in the Lobby ; might read an evening paper in the tea-room, whilst others enviously glanced at his epaulettes. _ Here he was at ten minutes past nine standing in his favourite attitude at the Bar, no one having challenged his entrance. Fact is, Huse was up; not Counted Oat, but having duly gone through the Orders and passed the Second Reading of an important measure. Sach a day the Government had had! At Morning Sitting had ramped through the Orders, advancing Bill after Bill through critical stages. House nearly empty; Opposition effaced ; Irish Members all absent except Brer Rassit, who wanders about looking for Brer Fox. The only note of discord sounded in voice of Gzonor Campee.t. Keport of Supply reached at a quarter to seven. At ten mioutes to seven, in accordance with Rule ordering Morning Sitting, Debate must stop.

Time limit reached ; no more debate ; Camrsect not finished yet; attempts to eed; angry shouts of ‘‘ Order! Order! ” before which he subsides.
