GENTLEMEN, THE arduous contest in which we hare been en gaged is now over, and with its termination I trust that every feeling calculated to interrupt the repose and harmony of the district will be permitted to subside. To my Opponents in the contest, and to those Gentlemen who orenly appeared as their supporters, I desire to express my acknow ledgments f or th e courteous con d uct I exper i ence df rom them during the Election. To the inhabitants of the district over which the elective franchise reaches (little inferior in population and extent to a country repre sentation), I can never be su ffi ciently grateful for the manly and generous feelings with which on any canvass I was universally re ceived. The Electors who have honoured me with their suffrages shall always find me grateful for their support. My public and private conduct will, I trust, be ever such as to justify the confidence they were pleased to repose in me in the hour of trial ; and I ardently hope, and confidently believe, that the day will speedily arrive when the effecri of their votes thus publicly recorded in my favour, united with the expression of a similar opinion on the part of the inhabit ants of the metropolis, will place British born Jews, in point of civil rights, upon a perfect equality with every other subject of the United Kingdom. To the members of the several Committees throughout the Bo rough I know not how to express myself in adequate language, for the activity and perseverance, for the prudence and discretion, for the zeal and energy, which they upon all occasions evinced. I con sider myself fortunate in having been associated with such men in such a cause. Electors, let me urge you to be united and vigilant, and you will no. find me backward when the day shall arrive for the renewal of the struggle for your independence. We commenced together the task of regenerating the Borough, and are not to be deterred by one defeat from seeking itiaccom plishment ; already in this our first struggle we have rescueA it from the imputation of venality with which it was anciently charged, and have aroused it from the lethargy into which it had recently fallen ; its representation in Parliament may now be well considered an ob ject of honourable ambition, and one which, with your hearty and zealous co-operation, I shall be prepared at all times to contend for. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, DAVID SALOMONS. Worthing, July 31, 1837. TOTAL STATE OF THE POLL. Salomons. Goring.

The SANDWELL ESTATE, a HIGHLY FAVOURED PROPERTY, WITHIN THREE MILES of TOTNES. TO BE SOLI) BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEO: ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 24, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, by direction of the Devizec in Fee. AN Exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD PRO PERTY, the SANDWELL ESTATE, one of the most esteemed in this highly favoured county, and for many a long year the delightful abode or JOHN ROWE BENNETT, Esq., Deceased. This property needs not the - artificial aid of ornament throughout the County, where it is too well known to require panegyric ; the following concise and imperfect statement is intended with a view to illumine only those at a distance. The residence is of a character which unites every possible comfort, without the dread of being overhoused.. It is A STONE EDIFICE, seated in the LUXURIANT VALLEY, and protected during the inclement season by the AMPHITHEATRE OF HILLS ; its architectural form is chaste, and within it will be found all the accommodation a family of pretension can desire. It is encom passed by A FINELY WOODED PARK, AMID " SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY." There is a never-ending combination of hill and dale, adorned by majestic woods ; the " Meandering of the River Harburne," and the constant undulations of the grounds, combine to form A PERFECT CLAUDESCENE, and one of very rare occurrence. The offices connected with the Mansion are very abundant ; THE LAWN AND PLEASURE GROUNDS are adorned by myriads of plants and flowering shrubs, the Kitchen Garden prolific in Fruit and Vegetables, and the abundance of Fish caught within sight of the drawing-room, would render the vocation of a neighbouring fishmonger a, work of supererogation. WINTER APPEARS A STRANGER TO SANDWELL, and the climate is so congenial to longevity, that even an EAST INDIAN VALETUDINARIAN, . . _ who in despair has resigned himself to a very limited period of vears, may here find a solace arising out of the salubrity in the air, it at wili awaken to him the cheering prospect of a renewed lease of health and vigour. The domain extends to ONE lIGYDRED AND FIFTY-ONE ACRES, entirely within a ring ::nce, FRk.:3 FROM TITHE, and of a quality to chalk:l4e a. comparison anywhere. The Pasture Lands possess the facility of fattening cattle with great quickness, and Smithfield Market owes a heavy debt of gratitude to SAND WELL. Upon the Meadow Land the Crops are most luxuriant, and there is a small portion adapted to Wheat and Turnip Land of the best quality. There are Lime Kilos at a convenient distance, which produce a large revenue, beside affording the facility of dressing the contiguous Lands. Also A MAGNIFICENT ROCK OP MARBLE, that appears interminable ; and if profit. be in tho " mind's eye" of a purchaser, he will find the rock capable of erecting " A SECOND CITY OF BATH." Sandwell is 3 miles from Totnes. The Lodge entree (where a bag is left night and morning), is in the high mail road from Lon don and Exeter to Plymouth. Coals are within 3 miles, and there are two Orchards producing an immensity of Cider and Perry every year. Early possession may be obtained. Particulars with plans and a drawing, 28 days prior to the Sale, at the best Inns at Tor quay, Teignmouth, Totnes, Plymouth, and Ivybridge, the New London Inn, the Offices of Mr. Bishop, Solicitor, Exeter; the Alert, and Mc.

Sia,—Poreeiving that in one of your bills my name is mentio ne d i n union with that of my late patient Mr. t atchfield , I beg leave to confirmhis testimony, and state the great benefit derived by the us e o f your ex cellent herbaceous eye.snutf in his case, which was one o f obstinate chronic ephthalmia , accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose state of the conjunetional vessels. Ilia ease was the first under my notice in-which the preparation was used; but, being struck by the ad vantageous results, I resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in some eases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has led me still lurther to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the tospital are Isw, and our patients too often eannot afford the purchase of your snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as patent medicine would - be. If it be not asking too mucky sould you feria any arrangement by which the really indigent patients of this institution could be supplied with the eyo.snuff at g, lower price, on producing a re commendation to that effect, signed by me. If yen could, I would ask you to be so kind a+ to write to inn here on the subject ; in doing so you wont :4 perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not only by the poor whous you would relieve, but by your obedient servant, J. G. GUTHRIE. Mr. Grioastoric has complied with the above humane request of Dr. Guthrie Whitehall, March 8, 153‘4. SIR —I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your in•st exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye Snuff: Its action on the membrane of the nose causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means so cleansrd the cornea, that my Eyes became healthy, stmg, and performed their wanted duties in a manner that 1 have not knoorn the blessing of for six years.

USE OF CONTRACTS.—What will be thought when I mention that in this stor e I saw almost everything ex cept pianofortes. There were clocks, turning lathes which cost ninety guineas each, planes worth several guineas apiece, miners' tools and other implements of which no one in the co lony knew even the name, much less the use; also black chip bonnets for the negresses ; black gaiters for Massa Quacco, and a couple of hundred porter pots. In short, of articles of no earthly service to the Africans there were here thousands of pounds' worth rotting in store ; and still more are sent out, because, I suppose, some one has a contract at home to furnish these stores, whilst coarse cloth, cottons, and a few simple tools are all that are required to supply the wants of the Afri cans on their allotments. So at St. Helena, some years ago, iron trucks were sent out nnnually for the guns, because some body had a contract 1 It was represented that they were not required ; but still they were sent out, and they were therefore handed over to the settlers to make rollers with.—Captain Alexander's Africa.

How ever, as she had none on board, she could not be touched.— Captain Alexander's Africa. Yesterday afternoon, about 20 minutes after three o'clock, the neighbourhood and the occupiers of stalls in Hu ngerford-market were greatly alarmed iu consequence of a loud report proceeding from the premises belonging to Mr. Stewart, boot and shoe-maker, Nu. 5, in the street leading to the above -named place, and which was accompanied by an im mense quantity of smoke and flames, and likewise smashing of glass. It was soon known that it was occasioned by the escape of gas from the pipes on the premises, which by some means not accounted for ignited, and terminated with an ex plosion ; and, on persons entering the shop, the fixtures and stock were in flames. Information was immediately dispatched to the fire establishment for the assistance of the engines, and in a very short period two arrived on the spot from Chandos street station, with a powerful body of the brigade ; hut, how ever, before they could get the fire under, the flooring of the shop had to be partially taken up to get at the girders which were burning. The firemen, by the aid or their Poleaxes and a supply of water, soon subdued it. The damage done is con siderable, and unfortunately Mr. Stewart is not insured—the building- is. A FLYING Fox.—After we were out of sight of the coast a large bat, or flying fox, hovered round the ship for some time and at last alighted on the niizen-royal yard.

Its head resembled that of a fallow deer; its eyes and ears were large and beautiful ; and the colour of its hair was a greenish yellow.—l found nothing in its stomach. —Captain Alexander's Africa, PRICE sd. THE PARACHUTE. Mr. Faraday has addressed the following letter to the Editor of a Morning Paper on the subject of Mr. Cock ing's descent in the parachute : " Sir,—Though very unwilling to appear in the public Journals or intrude on your kindness, I am induced, by what appeared to me an unnecessary reference to my name in the late inquest, to ask of you the favour of publication for the present letter. " I knew Mr. Cocking long ago, was a fellow-member with him of the City Philosophical Society, and heard him deliver the lecture, twenty-three years since, referred to by Mr. Gye at the inquest ; and the recollection of his companionship, abilities, and kindness at that time, adds greatly to my feelings of sorrow for his melancholy death. I did not knew that he thought of putting his parachute to the proof by a descent until I saw his in tention announced in the papers, and did not sco him or the parachute until the day of the descent. He then asked me at the gardens my opinion of its safety, and' I said that as to its capability of retarding the descent it was purely a matter of calculation into which I could not go. Hu said that lie had made both experiments and calcula tions, and was fully assured the velocity of descent would -; not be greater than that of a man falling from a height of two feet. I then remarked upon the weakness of the con struction of the upper ring, and asked why he had not given it a form better able to resist collapsion ? Why it was not assisted by stretchers or ,bracings, &c. ? He gave me the same answer genera ll y t h at h e h a d g i ven to Mr. Gye, that it was strong enough, and that be obj(eted to more weight above. I made other objections, as for in stance, to the opening in 6he middle of the parachute, the place of the centre of gravity, &c., but finding him perfectly satisfied with his preparations, and resolved to ascend (as is fully proved by the evidence on the inquest), finding also by the care of Mr. Gye that every precau tion was taken to enable him to abandon his intention at any moment, I desisted from making further ;emarks, which might tend to disturb his presence of mind, though they would not have prevented his ascent. I, however, said not a word to him to advance his going ; but, being doubtful and anxious, had expressed myself so to some on the ground, and amongst others, to Mr. Green, who asked me whether I would rather be in his or Mr. Cockings's situa tion, I said in his ; and this he told to Mr. Cocking in my hearing. With these feelings on my mind I retired in part, and did not speak to Mr. Cocking for the last hour and a half. " Hearing that Mr. Mason was disturbing Mr. Cock ing's attention, I did venture to say to the former gentle man that as Mr. Cocking was resolved to ascend I thought it unwise. Mr. Mason told me that be had made calcula tions, the result of which was, that the descent would be a very rapid one. I observed that Mr. Cocking had also told me he had made experiments and calculations, the results of which were that the descent would, be slow. Mr. Mason's calculations and objections, as far as I know, bad no rela tion to the strength of the parachute, or to the actual cause of the failure and sad result. " The opinion given by Mr. Green and Mr. Gye (who appear to me to be the best judges under the circumstances) regarding the failure of the parachute makes me glad that I said no more to Mr. Cocking than I did. The retention of the rope attached to the balloon at the moment of sepa- ration may have been due to some disturbance of mind through anxiety, thu s b r i ng i ng on th e f a t a l termination ; and I am very thankful that I, at least, was not the cause of any such anxiety. " In conclusion, my sincere thanks are due to the coro ner for his kindness and consideration. It is much to be desired, though perhaps not be expected, that others would more frequently have the same thought. " I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, " M. FARADAY. " Royal Inetitution, July 1. CALCULATIONS OF MR. COCKING'S PARACHUTE. (From the Railway Magazine.) The unfortunate experiment of Mr. Cocking, in his de scent on the 24th ultimo with.the parachute, has excited so painful a feeling in the public mind, that we shall be ex cused from saying a few words on the subject. It appears that Mr. Cocking's apparatus was au inverted frustrum of a cone, thirty-four feet in diameter at the top, and three or four at bottom, which was open. We are informed the upper ring was a tin tube, about two inches in diameter, and the lower a wooden hoop ; the superfices of the cone was strong linen or canvass, and the whole, with the basket in which he was, weighed about 15016. He took up, we are informed, two cwt. of ballast, making, with himself, a total of about five cwt. We know not the proportion of the axis of the frustrum to either diameter of the cone ; but supposing the parachute a flat circle, which would have been a better form for resistance, of the thirty-four feet diameter, it would expose a resisting area of little better than 900 square feet. With these dimensions, the mass would have descended with a velocity of near thirteen" miles an hour—three times greater than safety would permit; but from the bad formation of the machine, and the great hole in the middle, the resistance must have been less and the velocity greater. Could he have rid himself of the two cwt. of ballast, he must have descended more than ten miles an hour—that is, near three times as fast as he ought. In every way it was an ill-contrived, ill judged experiment ; the tube was too weak, and, we are informed, it came unsoldered the day before he went up. To descend with a velocity of five miles an hour, rather too much for perfect safety, requires a resisting area of 1,000 square feet for every 1001 b.; Cocking's had only 900 for more than five times the weight. His distance was nearly sixty feet from Mr. Green, too much for easy com munication. It has been stated that several scientific men had ap proved of calculations of the safety of Mr. Cocking's parachute. We can hardly believe it ; we ourselves, at four o'clock, gave our opinion against it to friends who asked us. From the height, 5,000 feet, stated by Mr. Green, and the time of descent, seventy seconds, or more, observed by Mr. Bishop, we perceive that our computation of the maximum velocity, thirteen miles an hour, would have been very near the truth, had the parachate not have collapsed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AuG. 1. lIOL3IES V. CRISP. • The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this matter. A testator had in his will given each of his daughters a legacy of 16,0001.; one of them married before his death, and to her he paid 5,0001., adding a codicil to his will, in which he stated that the legacy she was to receive out of his estate at his death was to be less by this amount. The executor of the will collected the assets and absconded, but a small sum was recovered, and the question to be decided was, whether this suns was to be divided, or whether the daughter who had not received any portion was to take as much as would place her in the same state as her married sister before they came to any division of the other part of the estate. His Lordship was of opinion that the portion given to the married daughter must be considered as a pay ment, and that the other daughter was entitled to be placed on an equal footing in the division of the assets. TICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUG. 1. BLUNDELL V. WINDSOR. This was a bill by a shareholder in a company called " The Anglo-American Mining Association," against other parties who were shareholders at the time the company was dissolved, praying to have the affairs of the Company wound up, and to compel the other parties to contribute to the losses, part of which had fallen wholly on the plain tiff. The defendant Winsor demurred, for want of equity, on the ground that the Company was unlawful, ana, its scheme a fraud upon the public. There was also a de murrer for want of parties. The Company, it 'appeared, was formed in 1833, for the purpose of working, gold mines in America. Mr. KNIGHT supported the demurrer. Mr. JACOB appear:A for the plaintiff. The demurrer was allowed. ROLLS' COURT—Avamsr 1. HUGHE3 V. WYNN. In this c ase a petition was presented to dischar ge an order, directing the taxation of the bill of costs of the peti tioner, who had acted for several years as attorney for the defendant, Mrs. Anne Wynn, and her late husband. The petition alleged that a sett/en:milt of the accounts between the parties had taken place in the month of June, 1828, and therefore prayed the discharge of the order. On the other hand it was contended, that no such settlement had taken place, and that, even if it had, there were circum stances which would prevent the Court from interfering un the present occasion. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS, in giving judgment, said, that the petitioner, in the two affidavits he had filed, had not alleged any entries to Prove his allega tion, and, therefore, under these circumstances, be felt him self bound to dismiss the pet)thn> with costs, HOME CIRCUIT.—LEivxs, AUG. 1. John Young and John A Islet, t‘ ere placed at the bar, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwa ing-house of John Wilson Gregory, at Brighton, and steal ing several silver spoons. The Jury returned a verdict or Guilty. Tac pr;:v.nets were sentenced to be 'transported. Joseph Jupp was convicted of stealing nine live chickens belonging to Elizabeth Burley, and sentenced to be tran sported for seven years. Charles Stephens, a labourer, was convicted of stealing from the person of John Townsend twelve shillings, his pro perty, aid sentence of death was recorded. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —Baer ST. EDMUNDS, Jtar 31. THORNDIKE V. CONDAR. This action was brought for a nuisance, in erecting a shop so near the house of the plaintiff as to exclude the light and air from it, thereby injuring her reversion. After Counsel and witnesses bad been heard on bet h sdes, The Learned JUDGE summed up, and tie Jury found for theplaintiff—Damages,3o/. SPURGIN V. KNOTT AND ANOTHER. This was an action for putting the plaintiff out of his house and beating him ; to which the defendants pleaded that the house was the property of Knott ; that the plain tiff being unlawfully- therein was requested but refused to depart ; and therefore they justified the assault. The plea was admitted, but the queition was, whether the defen dants had been guilty of " excess" of assault in putting the plaintiff nut. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 100/. damages against Knott, and acquitted Reeve altogether. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .1 1 fANSION-1-10 USE Since the East India tea trade has been thrown open thr plunder in the article has become most extensive, the forms which used to accompany the delivery of the chests having been abandoned, and facilities having been conse quently afforded to the carmen and others employed by the owners to rob right and left. Many complaints have been recently made at the Mansion-house on the subject, but the difficulties of detection are increased by the fact that tl►e. persons gencrilly concerned in committing the rob-: beries are those in whom a certain degree of confidence is reposed. Three men, named Seeley, Reeves, and M/1, were brought before the LORD MAvon a few days ago, charged with having stolen six chests of tea under the following cir cumstances : Mr. William Moul, of the house of Moul and Sons, of No. 106, Fenchureh-street, brokers, stated that he had re ceived a letter from Messrs. Bells and Wood, Oxford -street, grocers, requesting that he would clear six chests of tea for them from the Crutched-friars warehouse. He paid the duty, and sent the warrants by a clerk to the warehouse, and the goods which the warrants claimed were lowered from the loophole into the yard, where they lay till next morning, to await the application of the carman, according to the customary arrangement. He afterwards was in formed that they were stolen from the yard ; that a false document had been presented to the book-keeper to autho rise their delivery ; and that the prisoner Hill had been seen sitting, at an early hour on the ►Horning of their re moval (Th a ursclay), near the place where they had been de posited, and had been observed to examine them very closely. Within the last four months no fewer than twenty three chests had been stolen. The LORD MAYOR—So I understand; and plunder of the kind may be expected when gentlemen are above doing their own business, and leave it to be transacted by carmen and porters. The necessary caution is by no means used. The prisoner s, who were defended by Mr. Wontner, were then remanded. HA TTON- GARDEN. John Farnicot was charged by James Brand with having bitten off his nose. The complainant, on Monday evening last, was playing at skittles with the prisoner, at a public house in Museum -street, Bloomsburjwben they had a quarrel, and, whilst he was putting up the skittles, the pri soner came behind him, and bit off his nose. The tip of his nose was bandaged on. Mr: ROGERS—Did you give him any provocation? Wit ness—He wanted me to bet with him, which I refused to do, and pushed him away. The prisoner said in his defence that the complainant pushed him, when they struggled, and fell down, but he did not know that he bit his nose. Mr. LAING—He admits that he pushed you, but that is no reason that you should act like a cannibal. He sug gested that he should be convicted in the extreme pe nalty of 5!. Mr. ROGERS, however, convicted him in the penalty of 405., or two mouths' imprisonment. Patrick Flanagan was re-examined, charged with having attempted to drown his wife. It appears that on Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, Sergeant Dodd, of the E division, heard the cries of murder in the prisoner's house, in George-street, St. Giles's ; on entering the yard he found the prisoner's wife in a water tub, containing twenty-five pails of water, and on taking her out she was quite insensible. The wife of the prisoner, a reluctant witness, was asked by Mr. Laing how she came in the water. Wife—Sure I fell into it of my own accord. Mr. LAING—WiII you swear he did not put you into it ? Wife—Sure, why should I swear so, when I wont into it myself? Hadn't we a quarrel, and didn't we fight together, and it was himself that got the worst of it, and you see his marks to prove it. Mr. LAING-L.Then you admit that you quarrelled ? Wife—To be sure ; wouldn't. I strike him if he struck me? Mr. LAING—Does he often quarrel with you ?

Niel: DISTINCTION.—John Toying, a carrotty headed stableman, rejoicing in the sobriquet of " ginger," charged Mr. Selby, horsedealer, with having assaulted him. The complainant said while in the Three Crowns public house, Wells -street, Jermyn-street, the defendant '° catched hold on him and guv him a regular stinker in the chops." Mr. CHAMBERS asked the defendant what answer he had to the charge ? Defendant—l went into the parlour of the Three Crowns with several persons to deal for a horse. We all called for something, and the waiter brought in a glass of brandy and water, a glass of rum and milk, a glass of gin and water, a pint of ale, and a bottle of ginger beer. Before we had time to taste anything the horse was brought to the door, and we went out for half a minute to look at it. When we came back we found every pot and glass com pletely drained, and the defendant in the room. I asked hint what business lie had to drink our liquor ? and he then called me a filthy name, and I gave him a back-handed blow. Ginger—Vy, you knoCked mo down like a sack. Defendant—You were so drunk you fell down. Ginger—l vos perfect sober, and I shouldn't have called you no names hadn't you aggrawated me by saying as how I vos a cad and a stable-strapper. Mr. CHAMBERS—WeII, and don't you help in the stable ? Ginger—That's werry true ; I vorks for Richard Carr Glyou'scoachman ; but I a'nt uo cad. hfr. CnA runEas--Pray, where is the difference ? Ginger ! Vy, there's a precious sight of difference. Them as vorks in gentlemen's stables is called " gentlemen's helpers," vhile them as N . orks in livery stables is called " cads" and " strappers." Mr. CHAMBERS—Do you deny having cleared the table of all the liquor ? Ginger—No, I don't ; but he can't deny as I hoffered to stand double goes all round—that is, as soon as never I gut any money.
