      Our Honotteable Fkiend.—We Are Delighted...

      Our _Honotteable Fkiend . —We are delighted to find that he has got in ! Our _honottrahle friend is triumphantly returned to serve _tti _~ the next Parliament . He is the honourable member for Verbosity—the best represented place in England . Our honourable friend has issued an address of congratulation to the Electors , which is worthy of that noble constituency , and is a very pretty piece of composition . In electing him , he says , they have covered themselves with glory , and England has been true to herself . Our honourable friend delivers a prediction , in the same document , that the feeble minions of a faction will never hold up their heads any more ; and that the finger of scorn will point at them in their dejected state , through countless ages of time . Further , that the hireling tools that would destroy the sacred bulwarks of our nationality are unworthy of the name of Englishmen ; and that so long as the sea shall roll around our ocean-girded isle , so long his motto shall be , No Surrender . Certain dogged persons of low principles and no intellect , have disputed whether anybody knows who the minions are , or what the faction is , or which are the hireling tools and which the sacred bulwarks , or what it is that is never to be surrendered , and if not , why not . _—Dicicens ' s " Household Words .

The peculiar excellencies of Colt's " Revolver" are well known . For safety , simplicity , durability , accuracy , and celerity of fire , force of penetration , and security against moisture , they possess important advantages both for public and private service . Tho barrel is rifle bored . The lever or rammer does away the need of wadding or patch . The hammer , when at full cock , forms tho sight by which to take aim , and it is readily raised to full cock by the thumb , without using both hands ; and it has been tested by long and actual experience . This arrangement is superior to those weapons in which tho hammer is raised by pulling at the trigger , the strength of tho pull necessary for thin purpose- interfering with tho correctness of aim , which is of so much importance . _Si'EctiiKNH of Colt ' s Fikk-arms , which attracted universal attention , and obtained unqualified approbation at tho Gukat Exhibition , may bo seen , nnd instructions obtained for procuring them for tho use of Oflieers in KjiH Majkhty ' n and the Hon .
