Another vote of the "working majority" is in jeopardy. Whigs
are not immortal; and though the appointment to the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds might be denied, the fiat of the grim tyrant cannot. Gallant General FEaotrtion has been gathered to his fathers, and there is a vacancy in the Whig seat for Nottingham. Nottingham is greatly agitated by the contested introduction of the New Poor-law just now ; and Mr. WALTER, the great Anti- Poor-law leader, seizes the occasion to offer himself as a Cabinet Minister's colleague. By favour of the dread of "the Three Kings of Somerset House," he has actually effected a coalition -.between the Tories and the Chartists of the town ; and all the Radicalism of the Whig candidate, Mr. LARPENT, is tasked to make head against the man who appeals to the popular dislike of the workhouse and water-gruel. The Whigs deprecate the " unholy alliance" of Tories and Chartists, but without much 'shaking it. Tuesday's poll will be watched with anxiety by those whose working majority is becoming so very attenuated and fragile.
