I NEWPORT—ITS MAYO r—ALDER V: EN AND TOWN COUNCIL. Oiium sine dignitate We stated in onr last that Mr. Lewis Edwards tinrl been elected Mayor, of Newporl; one of the supporters of this thimble rig chief officer stated that, the sole reason why fit-, voted against Mr. Allfrey (the other Candidate for the Mayoralty) was that lie, Mr. A, lived without 'lie limits of the Borough, that was Mr. Mullocks objection it was a question of ome fraction of a liile with Alderman Mullock; but we cannot bonder at it when we remember that the matter xvas to make or mar the fraction; (ollr readers %ill remember the old proverb I :inc Tailors, e.), of a man. Mr. Lewis Edwards is now the Chief Magis- trate of Newport. Whether ns the Merlin I Announces lie was ambitious of Knighthood; or Whether lie found the well-stuffed civic chair liore comfortable than the shop-hoard, it is not for us to say- We have a private opinion iiiit Calipee is better than Cabba e, and that cYollr Worship' falls more musically on the ITAT of some folks than the fi)on!)svllai)!e Snip,' 11d we think too, that the vision of 1, iir in the dim distance would make a pair of crossed legs dance, to the imminent danger of tli6 un" tltentionables, which miuht per chance be under- ;$oing the process of goosing but we beg pardon 'if his \N'orsiiip.' Like Lainlet, he wow knows Hot 'seams,' the only connection he has ith the Michaelmas bird is a I), ii plucked from Its wing with vvhch lie scrawls the newest fashions on the Magisterial desk. We have heard a strange story about the Mayor of Newport: some have said that he himself built the ladder, ly means of which he teached his present high position. Is it true that a private understanding was entered into wstvreeii the present Chief Magistrate, ot New- port, and five persons who were candidates for the oflice of Town Councillor, that those can- didates, provided th.-y rctre eltcttd would return the compliment to Mr. Lewis, by each putting; stitch into his Mayoi's robe? Is it true that °lle of those five refused to do so ) Is it true tl)en the would-be Mayor of Newport applied cv, Nlf. Njtillock, and to Mr. Ig«ulden, and stip- ulated with them, that if they woud vote for cc Making him up into a Mayor," he in return *o„|,j 'stitch them iii; into Aldermen.' Is it jj^t true that Mr. Edwards is Mayor, and that Messrs. Mullock and Igguldeu ate Aldermen ? ^'iU we ask once more, is it a lact that the jl'.inicipal honours of Newport have been sold '.V ''private contract'?" Jl all these things he true and we believe they are, no respectable willcare for Municipal honours, We have ard that when the May or of New port quained 's a Councillor he refused to take the oath of hilegiatice, of course when he goes up with the Itlldress, he will refuse to look at her Majes'y DI)or man! he will be better employed, ill Studying the I citt' of Court coats. The Secre- tary of State is aware of the ex Tailors loyalty, 1tld we imagine that no sword will descend Oil ls shoulder at least, 'Rise up Sir Lewis! the is absolutely so ridiculous that having 'Sighed ourselves into good humour, we are lllI()st inclined to order oil next pair of ("on- 'luatioijs' ui the would-be Knight, \v'i'ih o.e-Kf- p- o ■, uu-r* i u.iip. «{>. r- P, in the Aiviwnort Ciin we cronderV Catholics and Chnr*i<Ua have- there'(W> Churrhw.ifdens of S*.
