entirely divested of politics. Independent of the medical party which was actively and zealously employed in furtherance of the medical candidate's interest, the speeches on the hustings by Mr. Wakley himself, made a powerful impression on the popular mind. Arts, manoeuvres, and language seem to be allowed at elections, which would not be borne in private life, or civil intercourse; and on these we are not inclined to remark. Certes we cannot approve of all that have been put in force during the late contest. But, from what we have seen of Mr. Wak ley's talents for working on the popular mind, we strongly advise him to contest the next Westminster election with Sir Francis Burdett. The impression which has been made on the public, by the recent exposé of the worthy Baron et's common sense, in St. John Long's case, will be an admirable and potent adjuvant to Mr. Wakley, in a popular contest for a seat in parliament. We very much doubt whether Mr. Wakley would not beat out of the field, his friend Mr. Hume, in the event of a vacancy for Middlesex. Should a revolution ever take place in this country, (which Heaven avert) we shall be much surprised if Mr. Wakley does not figure conspicuously on the political arena. Few men are better calculated to call forth popular feeling-but whether the effervescence of popular feeling would be governed by reason, and directed to beneficial purposes, we have great doubts. But politics apart, the unsuccessful candidate for coroner, in the vacancy of Mr. Unwin, has a very fair chance

of success, in the event of Mr. Stirling's resignation-a resignation which se nectitude, with its concomitant infirm ities, ought to point out. It is fortunate, in one sense, and unfortunate in another, that AGE, which plucks from us the feathers of early acquirementsaps the energies of our faculties-ren ders us a wreck on the stream of TIME,

and ultimately plunges us in the gulf of everlasting oblivion, rarely deprives us of the fond idea that we are still possessed of intellectual vigour, however large the "youthful hose " may appear for our "shrunk shanks" -or the "spectacles on nose, and pouch on side," may indicate the propriety of retiring with, "the lean and slippered pantaloon," from the gaze and pitytoo often the contempt, of those who are rapidly following in the same track!
