TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVI SION OF THE COUNTY PALATINE OF LANCAS- TER. GENTLEMEN, YOU have placed me in the distinguished station of one of your Representatives in Parliament, and duty and grati tude demand from me a suitable acknowledgment. But, I can didly confess to You, that I am at a loss how to make this ac knowledgment. V Every expression of thanks, and every assur ance of obligation, must appear trite and hackneyed, and go for little on such an occasion, and language is a poor interpreter of the feelings of one honoured and confided in as I have been by your recent votes. Ku iwn only as a private Merchant, and as ;I sincere, though humble, adraim of the Reform Act, vou have selected me to uphold your Commercial Interests in Parliament, and there to give; as your Representative, independent support to his Ma jest 's Government. You have returned me free of every expense, and with a majority of more than Two Thousand Six Hundred Votes over Sir Thos. D. Hesketh, Bart. The seat which your kindness has bestowed is second to none in legislative importance, and is one of the most honourable distinctions which can be conferred on an Englishman. It must be my earnest endeavour diligently to perform the duties to which you have thus called me—to study and to watch over the complicated causes which give prosperity and wealth, agricultural as well as commercial, to the County of Lancaster, and to respect the feelings and protect the rights, civil and reli gious, at home and abroad, of all classes of his Maj esty's subjects. Possessing an honest desire to serve you faithfully, you will, I am sure, deal leniently and charitably with my imperfections. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and devoted humble Servant, GEO. WM. WOOD. Manchester, December 26, 1832. LANCASHPRE COUNTY ELECTION.

FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITHOUT HEAT OR PRESSURE, AND INCORRODIBLE TEETH FIXED WITHOUT WIRES. OR LIGATURES. mONS. J. M. MALLAN, SURGEON-DENTIST, of the Firm of Malian and Sons, London; animated by the unexam pled patronage which he has enjoyed ' Liverpool and Man chester, has the honour to aunounc is new arrangements, by v t e M N which, with the assistance of hi ther, Mons. A. - ALLA, o (whose co-operation the increa g claims upon his professional exertions have compelled him to require in this district,) he is enabled to meet his numerous engagements at the new - esta blishments,No. 46, Bold-street, Liverpool, daily; and a t 16 PICCADILLY, Manchester, on Mondays, Tuesdays, W e d , nesdays, and Thursdays. Messrs. MALLAN continue to restore Decayed Teeth, how ever large the cavity, with their celebrated Mineral Sueceda neum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of London and Paris. The operation of Stopping Teeth is performed in a few seconds. The Mineral is put into the cavity in an almost liquid state, with out heat or pressure, hardens into enamel, allays the most excru ciating pain, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. They also Fasten Loose Teeth, whether arising from age, neglect, or disease of the Gums. Incorrodible Mineral Teeth placed, from one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolouration or corrosion, fixed. without Wires or Ligatures, and warranted to answer every purpose for Articulation or Mastication. 'Since the prevailing Malady of the Cholera Morbus through out Europe, the substitute of Mineral Teeth has entirely. super seded the introductiorkOf natural ones. This has arisen in con s6quence of Messrs. Mallan's invention being free from those infectious impurities which must, more or less, attach to Human Teeth. Natural Teeth fixed on the above improved principle. Messrs. M. particularly invite the Members of the Faculty to witness the operation of filling decayed Teeth with the Mineral Succedaneum.—Charges as in Paris.

FATAL ACCIDENTS DURING THE FOG.—On Thursday even ing, during the dense fog, Thomas Buchanan, a custom-house officer, left the ship Esther, in the London Dock east ern basin, with Capt. Fawley, the master, for the purpose of obtaining some refreshment, and was proceeding . along the quay, when he mistook the path, and walked direct into the lock. The cap tain, who was a few feet behind him, and heard the splash, with an exclamation of " Oh, God help me ! help, help ' groped his way back to the ship for a rope, and was returning with one of the seamen, when they both walked over the quay wall into a hollow below, at the side of the dock-yard, and were both so much injured that they were compelled to seek medical advice. The sailor fractured his skull, ana is not expected to survive- A young man, named Brown, who, as he was wa lking over the swivel bridge - in New Gravel-lane, had heard the splash, was admitted into the dock, and in his anxiety to render assistance also fell into the lock, but was saved by Brown, a customhouse officer, who threw some corks attached to a line to him, which he caught hold of after having twice sunk. All this occurred in less tame than we have taken in describing it. The body of Buchanan, who has left a wife and six young children unpro vided for, was not found until more th an an hour had elapsed. About the same time two seamen in a boat ran foul of a collier in Bell Wharf tier, and were both drowned. The fog was so dense on the river that no object a yard distant could be seen, — Globe of Saturday, .-,.-a~_~_-- _~. PRICE 7d. MISCELLANEOUS. The recent election of the Right Hon.

A. friend going by was called in by the landlady to decide the 'difficulty, who gave it against her; and, from de ficiency in her powers of calculation, she permitted the rogue to escape.t"—Bernard's Retrospections. THE ISIUHDER AT FARSLEY.—The 12th inst. the inquest on the body of James Benson was resumed before the Coroner for further investigating the circumstances attending this most, atrocious murder. this lamentable occurrence is supposed to have originated in a strike for wages against Benson's em ployer, Mr..Abimelech Hainsworth, in which strike the deceas ed did not participate. It appeared that on the night of the murder there was an assembly of the Union men to meet John Powlett, The secretary, at the usual place of meeting, the Bay Mare public house, but there was no evidence to connect the one transaction with the other, as the meeting lasted from six t,O eleven, and the murder took place about halt:past eight. After an able charge from the Coroner, the Jury retired for a short time, and then gave in the following verdict :—We find a ver dict of wilful murder against divers persons unknown to us; and welurther find that the deceased had become obnoxious to a large body called the Clothiers' Union, by . refusing to leave his master's employment, and to join them in their en deavours to compel his master, Abimelech Hainsworth, to sub mit to the dictation of the said Clothiers' Union, hy . pay . ing his workmen such wages as they proposed, and to receive into his service only such persons as the said Union approved of; and have too much reason to fear that his murder has been thd consequence of his fidelity to his waster." The Jury also re quested that the Coroner would make a communication to the Secretary of State on the subject, and expressed their thanks to the Coroner for the great attention he had paid to the im portant investigation.—Leeds Intelligencer. POACHING.-An affray of a very serious nature took place early on Saturday mottling week, between a desperate gang of poachers, from Pershore and Belford, and the keepers of the Earl of Coventry, in a wood called Perry-wood, near Croome. The poachers were nine in number, and the keepers five; the latter succeeded in disabling the guns of their assailants, or the I , tost serioaq consecuentps eirabi !Jaye itti ti 4. of gang called upon the rest to "put the lead into them r." The leader, Thomas Price, sen., was thrown by one of the keepers on the ground, and there held for above a quarter of an hour, so that he can be most fully identified; but, we regret to say, he was rescued, in consequence of a failure in the sticks used by the keepers, which were made of ash, and being cut across the grain, snapped instantly. The gun barrels were used with brutal violence by the poachers, and one keeper has the mart of the two barrels in the side of the nose, as if it were thrust in. On Monday night the keeper of It. Berkeley, Esq., of Spetch ley, was attacked and severely beaten by a party of poachers. —The game-bill has greatly increased the number of poachers in Devon and Somerset. On Friday night week, at Ifolincete, the property of Sir T. Acland, the bailiff and four assistant% met a gang of poachers, who were armed with guns, and jumped from the fence of the wood into the road ; the poachers calling out to the part) to keep back, or they would make them. Bir mingham boldly sprung upon two of the fellows, and seized them by the collars, when a third presented a gun which one of his assistants fortunately broke with his stick, and immediately knocked the man down. A sharp battle ensued for three or four minutes, during which some very severe blows were struck, and the poachers had much the worst it ;—three of th em were captured, and, on the following morning, were taken to , Dun ster, and examined before two magistrates, who committed. them to Taunton Gaol for trial at the next quarter sessions. WANTS AND CA PA BILITIES.—We are never SO mods tenlated to moralize as after a perusal of the advertising columns of the Times. There is something intensely pathetic in many of the Whs which exhale from the damp surface of that broadsh ee t. hat hope can be held out to a " respectable young woman without followers?" who is so unreasonable as to desire a situa tion "as nursery maid where there is no infant ?" Or, to a "respectable strong youth," who will only be satisfied with the office .of "light porter?" Both must pine unheeded, unless they agree to meet and sigh to each other. They are, indeed, "two for a . pair." The following we are inclined to think ra ther suspicious :—" A lady of 30 years of age is desirous of meet ing with a situation as useful companion. She is naturally cheerful, and, to an invalid, flatters herself she would be an ac quisition." Dear creature ! who would find in his heart to shut the door in her face?' We fear, however, she has no c h ance against the experience of a widow. " Wanted, by a respect able widow, age about 36, and free from every incumlnanee, 11 situation to superintend the concerns of a widower. To one who has a family, she flatters herself she would be an acquisi tion," &c. Who doubts it? We will back the widow for a rump and dozen they are man and wife in a month. These widows ! Here is another:—"A widow lady, of most respect able connexions, wishes for a situation to manage the domestic establishment of a widower or single gentleman_ Sh e f ee l s con fident of giving satisfaction?' This is plain en7n!gli ; but there is another still plainer. The noose matrimonial danees in every sentence. "A widow, respectably connected, wishes a situation as housekeeper to a single gentleman or widovrer. She flatters herself she would be found an acquisition, as sh e i s competent, and would not object, to superintend the education of the younger branches of his family." What ! not of the " single gentleman's?' Oh, fie !—Tait's Magazine- MURDER.—Thursday night an atrocious murder was commit ted in the New Vennel, High-street, on the body of a poor man, named Niel Adams, a waiver, under circumstances of rather a peculiar and mysterious character. It appears that the deceased on the night before mentioned, had been partaking somewhat freely of spirituous liquors with a fellow workman, in the same street where the murder was perpetrated, anal that in returning home, and within a kw paces of his• own dwelling, he had been assaulted by some person who had iuticted a vio lent blow on the head of the deceased with a heavy stick ear bludgeon, which almost instantly proved fatal, as his lifeless body was shortly afterwards found weltering in its blood, at ap parently the same spot where he had been assaulted. The de ceased, it is believed, had no money on him at the time; but it would appear, that the perpetrator of the crime had carried off the hat worn by the unfortunate man, and left his own in its stead, as an old hat was found lying near the bady.
