1. These gentlemen, on Saturday, met with a
winos accident at Yeovil, on their return to town
bra Epstsat Races. There are variotls accounts of it,
bet the following our readers may rely upon as ac-
L cui ate: Mr. Buxton, who is oae of our most ce-
lebrated whops. on Saturday evening, was returning
7. mown from Epsom, accompanied by his friend, Mr.
Atkins They mere both seated se the box of the ha.
Touche. which was empty, Mr. Batten driving four
in hand, and the horses going with great velocity. At
Yeovil Church there is a very sharp turn, which
Mr. Boston cleared with the greatest Address, but•
, Irom the violence of the exertion, and the lightness
of the cartage, it swung over and up:et. The gen-
tlemen were thrown a considerable distance, and
much injured, but are considered is a fair way of
recovery. Had there been company in the barouche,
no accident could have happened. Mr. Buxton and
Mr. Atttas are now laying ill at Yeovil.

WEXFORD, MAY 19.

On Thursday. the 15th instant, the eledion of a
Member to represent this Comity in Parliament, in
the room of Viscount Loftus (now Marquis of Elf ),
commenced at the County Court-house. About one
o'clock, Pierce Newton King, Fog. High Sher:ff.
to; k the chair. After going through the usual
forms, Roe ear Dover, I'-sq.of Wells, rose, and ad-
dressed she Meiling as follows:
Gentlemen Electors of the County of 17iTexfned—
As aft independent Freeholder of this County. and
wishing to support its independence, I beg leave to
propose William Congreve Alcock, Esq. as a pro-
per person to represent this County in Parliament.
Mr. C. Tore LISSIAM.-1 second the motion.
Sir F Fuson, Bart.—Every one who now heirs
me must lament the cease of this meeting, elm fe .Is,
as I do, in humanity and justice. I knew tee .`•ler-
quis of Ely well ; I considered him as a man of ho-
nour, and a friend to his friend. I never had aey
political or other obligation to him ; he ruled this
county with a rod of iron for the space of sixteen
years. In proposing another candidate as the ob-
. jed of your choke, I do not mean to forego,rny
own or my friends' claimi to year support at a fu-
ture period, I am engaged only on the present oc-
casion. I shall offer to you a Gentleman, whose
presensions are far superior to mine; whose great
grandfather was your representative from the time
he was eligible, till the period of his death, at the
age of 90; and whose father was four times suc-
cessively chosen to fill that honourable station, and
discharged the trust with fidelity a Gentlemen.
who, though absent, has his family residence within
yew County, and retains an ample demesne for the
acocmmodation of his friends, and the relief of the
poor ; a Gentleman distinguished by the support of
the highest chersefers of the empire; the frienffeff
a Bedford, a Fex, a Grenville, a Ponsonby. a New*
port, a Grattan, a Petry, an Erekine, a Moira a and,
above all, a Prince, loving Ireland ;—a Gendeman,
whose ye; y name must be reverenced, as being that
of one who was .o often ehosen•yonr Representative,
anti also so wit en- a dissenting voice,: a Gentle-
man, whose name is sans boned as being that of
the Colleague of that distingeished and consistent..
chaster, and your lemgeried and mactorespereed
Representative, George Ogle. If these were any
circumstance of my poetical cooduet, which I
could lenient, it woeld be, that I thought myself
under I ecessity of espposiog George Ogle. The
Gentleman whom I
_than repose to you. obtain-
ed the' rudiments of i is education in this county ;
theneepaised to the University. and took his de-
srree and.like .:11 other men of consequence, look-
ing forward to the reprosen.ation of this county
(instead of seending the time in fox-hunting. or
nth& idle amneeineets), !ravelled into France, Ger-
many, and Swkserland. to complete his education,
and o• able biro, as a water, to promotethe interests
of a ceunty represented by his ',ancestors. end in
*hick he has Aims& asp' large a stake.—Gentle-
men. I propose to you' Cesar Colclough, Esq. a
rime long revere 1 ; and those who stOill net sup-
port him, will condemn that former -steady support
which 'hey had given to his ancestors. Hie conduct
will, I doubt nor, justify your sepport-; but tl.is,
time alone can' tell ; 'if it 'lseult! not, I shall then be
as' zealous to remove him. at I am now to restore
his name to the reeresentation of this county. You
•may then elect toe, or any man throe! /.ear !) for
I am an enemy to hereditary claim in a comity
that ought to he' independent, and look to merit
alone. In that case, I shall myselfhe the first to
oppose him. I will not 'offer, if I can, this county
to become the inheritable tight of any family. I
acknoWlege tin right inheritable Bin merit. The law
abhors such inheritance: I to most earnestly in..
treat Tor. for the sake of your Independence, to
break this chain of sixteen years standing, and which
is now attempted to be continued. We live under*

with; of ',trout or partiality to iither side.
Mr. CA a cw.--1 rise to express my approliatimi
of the Gentleman proposed by my Hon. Friend,
whose brilliant and uncommon display of talent
has left little for rae to add, as I am well acquainted
with• iris character. Oue thing. only, has been
omitted by my Hon. Friend, which, though at first
sight it might appear a strong objection against
Mr. Colcloegh, will, on a nearer view, operate
otherwise ; what I allude to is, his absence for some
years ; by being absent se long, he is totally free
from party peejudiee, and most likely, by con-
ciliating, to please all. All I have to add is, I se-
cond my Hon. Friend, Sir Frederick Flood.
Mr. W. Hawley. Temple-Hill.—As • freeholder
of the county, I avail myself of the right which
every lowthelsier possesses, of objeaing ageintt any
candidate proposed. As a private cherader, I can-
not object against the gentleman proposed en the
other side ,(tree Akock) as such, I respell him ; as
such, when asked.my opinion, I have always spoken
well of him; but I would advise him to contain in
a private station, for which he is most fits he even
seems to think so himself. In his public address,
he hes not mated a single merit of his own.--
„ Permit sae, a Branch of that Family, who
have so long represented your County in Par-
liament," &c. This is, in my opinion, the strongest
reason why we should njefe him. I will ask,
what services of his race can he boast, that
we should support hires? Doe's he claim our sup-
port as the heir to their talent or political integrity ?
I will allow them one merit, that of nicely dis•
crirnicrating between their private interest and the
public good. Their views were ever wholly tura el
to the loaves and fishes; but I cats tell them, the
loaves are gone, and the fishes have diuded their
course into another chen-sel, and are not likely ever
torment. Does the gentleman claim our wpm= in
consequence of 114'111 success& in ether parte ea his

political career ! Or of the issue of- his late contest
tor the city of Waterford 1 He, whom the citizens
of Waterford rejeded, is, to be curt'', a representa-
tive good entrust' for the comity of %Viz:ford. I
havelicard an old piOverb, that a Omit drinker is
worth .his weight in gold. Perhaps the gentleman
and his friends think it is eqtrXlly true of a mute re-
presentative. Indeed, from. the description of peo-
ple woo have lately represented this county, ever
since a Right Hon. Frienl of mine, one would think
that a mute reptesentative only was united to the
genres of this county. I fear the gentleman would
cling to the ruins of a party who formerly excited
disunion and still continue to foment it ; a party
whom I elapsed is their prosperity, and to whom,
should I give a single vote, it would be betray*
my duty,. Our proem Ministers are above pane-
gyric: Iliey are well entitled to our gratitude, who
had the comage to itodertake the government at so -I
critical a time. and I hope will extricate the empire
from ita ditlicuhies. Mr. Caiklaugh will, lam cop- ;
fident, support men who deserve so much of their
-country ; but he will not make a traffic of his sup-
port. Should his oondud be different, he must be
changed.
It was objeded, on the part of Mr. Alcock, that
Mr. Colclough was ineligible. inasmuch as he *mat
present, beyond the sea, out of His Majesty's domi-
nions, and thereby incapable. if elided, of per-
forming his duty in Parliament. To this objec-
tion, Mr. Coleough's agent replied, by produt.ing.a
document, to thew that the same objedion having,
on ft farmer eledian, been preferred by Sir F. Flood.
Bart.• against the eligibility of Lord Loftns (now
Marquis otElyj, was over-ruled by Baron George.
They also stated. that ;here %vete' innumerable in.
stances of members having lusert:eledled in their
absence. viz. Lord Yermouth,`2Mr. Bernal, and
particularly 'Mr. Fonstatsby.• who was in Rome at
the tiros tof his e:ediou. The High Sheriff, by the
advice of his Counsel, who said it was not a judicial,
but a ministerial, quptioo, declined deciding on
the objedion. but
