WATERFORD ELECTION.

(From thq Walerjord Chronicle of Sept. 7.)
TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF MR. WYSE.
About ten o'clock yesterday morning the Mayor and
a large body of the citizens accompanied Mr. Wyse
from the Town 1-1411 to the Court-house, which in a few
minutes became densely crowded with individuals
itillous to wteess the re-election of the Honourable
ientlemPA, as representative of the city of Waterford.
There Were a few Conservatives amongst those present,
bet the leaders of thtat party did not make their ap-
D:arance.

Mr. Wyse on entering the Court was greeted by an
unan9-ious burst of acclamation, which continued with
unabated enthusiasm for a considerable period.
Mr. Sherif DENNY opened the proceedings by ob-
serVing, that they were met that day in obedience to
the writ of her most Gracious Majesty, to elect a fit
and proper person for the representation of Waterford,
in the room of Thomas Wyse, Esq., who had accepted
the office of Lord Commissioner of the Treasury. The
Sheriff then read the precept in an audible tone ; and
on the e,onclusion of its perusal said that he would be
ll'ilpr,y to hear any gentleman who InAl an observation
tts make on the subject for which they had met.—
(Cheers.)
Sir BENJAMIN Mortals, D. L., then came in front of
th:. hustings, and wos received with acclamation,—
He >aid—nr. Sheriff, and electors of the city of Wa-
terford. At the last eleetiun I had the honour to pro-
p,,se as a tit and proper representative of this City the
Honourable Gentleman whose recent appointment as
Lori of the Treasury has created a vacancy which we
are now about to supply in the person of the same dis-
tinguished irelividual,—(Cheers.) That appointment
so creditable to the Government, is, gentlemen, satis-
fa,tary, not only to the citizens of Waterford, but to
the people in every part of the empire—(Cheers)—
and shows the friendly dispositions of Ministers to-
wards this country.—(r:ontinued cheering.) Gen-
tiemen (said Sir Benjamin) to attempt to eulogize the
chorartsr, talents, or parliamentary career, of your late
honourable representative, so well known as they are
to :,ou, would be superfluous, I sill, therefore, hope for
a renewal of your confidence to Thomas Wyse, Esq.,
of the Manor of St. John, as the most fit and proper
per an to represent the City of Waterford in Parlia-
went.—(lteiterated cheers.)
WILLIAM :kILwARD, Sen., Esq.—For the fourth
1, time, Mr. Sheriff and Gentlemen, I have the honour
to second the nomination of Mr. Wyse as a fit and
Prniler person to represent this City in Parliament,—
(Cheers.) I shall not lessen the effect of the observa
tins which I am sure that Hon. Gentleman will make
to you by dwelling at any length on his Parliamentary
conduct ; 1 refer you to 4his own speech, for an ample
explanation of that conduct.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. CURTIS—Is this the time before Mr. Wyse
speaks far an elector to address himself to the meeting?
The SHERIFF—I am instructed that the usual course
is for me to make proclamation, and if no other candi-
date appears the gentleman proposed is to address the
ei,ctors.

All success comes by perseverance. Our enemies shall hear

Good easy men of Manchester, did not you know that all you
heard from the enemy was to be disbelieved ?
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
Sept. 5, 1839. T. PERRONET THOMPSON.
ItAbICAL ELECTORS OF MANCHESTER, .

You have fallen to pieces before the commonest of election
stratagems. The first whiff of Whig wind blew you down like
a house of cards. You have made a sorrowful display, not of
your strength, but of your skill in using it ; for nobody be-
lieves there are only 63 men in Manchester who wish for
Universal Suffrage and dislike the New Poor Law. Men
pining in prisons were listening for you; women and children
in poor-houses were looking through the grates to see you do
something towards their relief ; the Unrepresented everywhere
had their eyes upon you; and lo the Manchester mountain pro-
duces a list of 63.
But failures are of little consequence except as they affect
men's minds. You have carried much, though not all you
might. Badly as you have managed, you have clearly esta-
blished the fact that no political party can do without you.
The Whigs' majority has been brought down from 1,877 to 127;
and they will not be in a hurry to try what it will be next.
What has dispersed you now, will never do it again. At
a General Election, which cannot be far off, you will bring
in your man, and choose what other party you will take into
partnership.
See now what you would have gained if you had stood stoutly
to your work this time. Radicalism would have been picked
out of the dirt into which it has been trodden by the detection
of its leaders in the House of Commons and the errors of the
Chartists. A " heavy blew and notable discouragement" would
have been given to the compact which keeps the Whigs in office
as the cat's-paw of the Tories. This is what you have done
by halves. But the half is worth keeping, and shall be kept
accordingly.
All honour to the 63. A plain medal shall be struck, "In
commemoration of the sixty-three electors of Manchester who
voted at the raising of the flag of the Unrepresented in Sep-
tember 1839," and the name of a voter engraved on each. The
time will come when your families will value them.
To the rest,—Keep the colour which I left with you, and see
if another time you can support it better.
I remain, your sincere and faithful servant,
T. PER RONET THOMPSON.

Animal maTietisin still maintains its ground in
Paris, and has recently made some converts among medical
men. There is an exhibition every Friday at the Athenee,
in the Rue de Valois, to which persons arc admitted by
, tickets. At the exhibition of yesterday six persons were
successfully operated upon, and one of them at least was
above suspicion, for it was a young lady of the highest re-
spectability, who happening to be present with her brother,
and having some doubt as to the reality of the thing, re-
solved upon trying it. She was put into a magnetic sleep
in less than two minutes.—Letter from Paris.
EXTRAORDINARV CASE.—On Friday evening
a Coroner's inquest was held at the Harrow public-house,
Kensworth Green, Herts, on the body of Mr. Thomas
Briden, an opulent farmer, residing at Thrales End Farm,
who was discovered hanging, and quite dead, in one of his
barns, on Wednesday last. The circumstances of the case
were rather of an extraordinary character.
it appeared
that the deceased had been engaged with his man in
and
cart-
ing some wheat at the commencement of the week,them
that while his teams were so occupied one oftm came
in contact with a cart belonging

that Pepperman
was deceased having received information •
was in a dangerous state, sent to him to request his for-
giveness,but the latter replied, that if the halter was
Briden's doom he should have it, and that he would not
base any reconciliation with him. After this message the
deceased appeared dreadfully alarmed, and he was heard
by his servants to say, several times, that he must either
fly the country or destroy himself. On Wednesday morning
he was found lying as described, and quite dead. Evidence
was adduced to show that the deceased was of weak and
imbecile mind ; and tho Jury, after a full inquiry, returned
a verdict, that the deceased destroyed himself in a tempo-
rary fit of insanity. The Foreman of the Jury, after the
verdict was returned, inquired whetner they might not in-
flict a deodand upon the deceased? The Coroner in-
quired upon what ground. The Juryman replied, on the
ground that he had assaulted Mr. Pepperman. The Co-
roner said there was no ground for any deodand being
levied. In the case of a brute animal or inanimate thing
causing the death of an individual, the Jury would be jus-
tified in allowing a deodand, but the present was a totally I
different case. The deceased was a man of very large pro- I
perty in the neighbourhood. Mr. Pepperman has since
quite recovered frora the effects of the injuries inflicted
upon him by the deceased.

SUPPOSED INCENDIARISIVI.

On Monday morning last, at a very early hour, the
town of Hertford was thrown into alarm by the appear-
ance of a very large fire a few miles from the town, at
Bramfield, where the farm buildings and stacks of
Mr. Horn were burning at a fearful rate. The wind
blowing briskly at the time from the south-west,
the flames were carried from shed to shed and
barn to barn with fearful rapidity, till the whole of
the buildings on three sides of the quadrangle were
in flames, and great fears were entertained for the
safety of the house, the fire having considerably
scorched the large tree which stood between the
house and the new granary. Some difficulty would
have been found in getting the engine to work,
from the almost criminal unconcern of the la-
bourers who had assembled,if the engineer had not
fortunately ten with him from Hertford as many
people as the engine could carry. Nothing was done
without preliminary demands for beer. The stack of
wheat was pulled down and principally removed ; but the
fire extendedto the other buildings in a line with the wheat
barn, totally destroying the chaise-house and new granary,
and threatening instant destruction to the almost conti-
guous house. From the wheat barn it communicated

nary to the thatch of the barley barn on thQ other side of the
gateway, where was the produce of 12 acres ; thence
to the cow shed, and to the stables, wool-house, and old

and buildings were insured in the Sun Fire-office. How
the fire originated is a matter of upcertaint Y ; but there
are many strong circumstances which warrant the sus-
picion of its being the work of some diabolical incendi-
aries.—Herts Reformer.

GEORGE.

So many idle and erroneous statemei:ts are flying
about respecting these interesting operation, that we
• have felt it a duty to our readers to ascertain and report
the exact state of the case, without troubling them or
ourselves with any speculations as to causes. Oa
Thursday, the sth, although the weather was very un-
fal ourable, another of the large cylinders was lowered to
the side of the wreck, and the galvanic spark again tried,
but, as before, without effect, on the .firing of the
charge, one of the wires, owing to the tempestuous
weather, having been broken. An impression having
' got abroad that the galvanic action may have been
interfered with by the depth of the water and
the length of the submerged wires, we nave made
particular inquiry into this branch of tbe sub-
ject, and we find that several manor explosions
have been successfully made' 'bi-Colonel Pasley at
Spithead this week, by means-or:ibis Arry galvanic
operation, at the depth of 15 fathoms (which is two
fathoms and upwards more than on the wreck), with
every other circumstance equally similar to that used in
the case of the great cylinder. In the meantime Col.
Pasley, unwilling to defer any longer active operations,
has exploded a number of minor charges against the
Royal George. By means of these explosions, which,
we should mention, were fired by Beckford's fuses, after
being hauled into their proper position by lines
passed through rings by the divers, large pieces of the
wreck have finally been wrenched off, and then drawn
to the surface by ropes fixed to them by the divers. In
this way Col. Pasley has succeeded in bringing up 14
feet of the mainmast, including that part embraced by
the maindeck partners, several large beams of from 15 to
20 feet long, a knee marked L.xxvi. nr., and a number
of bolts, rings, and belaying cleats. The work of destruc-
tion being now fully commenced, still more active
measures are taken to keep up a brisk fire, we may
look for results more and more interesting every day.
We regret very much to add that a serious accident
occurred on Friday on board the Success. One of the
small metal vessels, containing a charge of gunpowder,
preparatory to an explosion, was incautiously rolled
against a bolt and stove. Colonel Pasley ordered it
to be taken tri the magazine and emptied. This was
done ; but the person employed omitted the precaution
which Colonel Pasley always prescribes in such cases, of
rinsing the vessel out with water, and accordingly, just
as the soldering proce s had commenced, a small quan-
tity of powder remaining in the vessel exploded, and
fractured the leg of the poor Sapper employed to repair
the damage. He was immediately sent to the Artillery
Hospital, and we are glad to say is doing well.
Two more huge beams, one of them covered with
ringbolts, have been brought up to-day, That part of
the wreck to which the large charge of powder was fired
yesterday (2601b5.) has been examined to-day by the
divers, who report that it is so completely shattered that,
by help of chain slings, it may all be brought up.—

.ALDINE MAGAZINE.

There is a great variety of condensed matter in this
number, in the shape of criticism, poetry, and, what is
still more attractive, anecdotal biography. Stme eof
the gossiping details respecting the eminent booksellers
of the last century, the Cadells, the Vernors, Hoods,
&c., furnish very agreeable reading. Of the late Messrs.
Cadell and Davis, we are told that, " they commenced
business under the most favourable auspices, and with a
capital and stock unrivalled in this, or perhaps in any
other country." The Memoirs of the late James Bird,
author of several cleverly versified poems, is penned in a
friendly, but perhaps rather too panegyrical, spirit.

It is scarcely necessary to advert to the advantages which,
in all transactions of magnitude a Company possesses over indi-
viduals ; but there is perhaps no undertaking to which this re-
mark apnlies with so much force as to Insurance of any desciip-
tion. Until within the last few years, however, the Law restrained
all partnerships (except the Royal Exchange • and the London
Assurance Companies) from effecting this species of Assur-
ance. Since this exclusive right has ceased to exist, a few
other Marine Insurance Companies have been established in
London, and the aggregate paid-up Capital of the whole
amounts to less than a million and a half.
Some opinion may be formed of the success which has hi-
therto attended the Marine Insurance Companies above men-
tioned, from the folloWing Table, showing that their Stock
bears a considerable premium ; viz. :

We rejoice at every probability of alleviating or curing
any of the deseases to which the human frame is liable,
and consider it our duty to make every probable im-
provement in the art of surgery as widely known
as possible. There are, as is well known to
anatomists, two half bony cartilaginous tubes cover-
ed with a continuation of the membrane Which
covers the internal surface of the nose, throat, Etc., and
liable to the same inflamation which lead from, and con-
nect the upper part of the throat with the interior Net
of the car. These canals, or tubes, serve to convey air
to the cavity of tympanum, and the vibrations of that
air are one essential condition to hearing. If they
are obstructed, deafness ensues as certainly as sight
is destroyed if no picture to be formed on the
retina. This fact seems to have been known for many
years, and as early as 1724, a method was invented of
curing deafness by injecting the eustachian tubes through
the mouth. The invention was, however, lost sight of

fully practised in England. The moderns indeed doubt
the possibility of injecting these tubes through the
mouth, or to pass small flexible silver catheters through
the nose without causing pain, and to succeed, when
these tubes are stopped up by mucus, in clearing them
out. Mr. licarsley's report, which has just been pub-
iish,4l, gives the particulars of this valuable discovery,
and illustrates it by numerous cases. We presume
not to give an opinion upon such a subject, but the
pamphlet bears the stamp of modest genius, and
written in a sincere and truth-loving spirit. We 1313.7.,

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. FLOWER ANT) OTHERS.
Mr. WHITE applied for a rule, calling on John Nelson to
show case why he should not within a week give to the defen-
dants an account of the several acts of nuisance which he in-
tends to prove, and the days to which his evidence would be
applied, and that in the mean time proceedings be stayed. The
proceedings in this case arose out of the works now in progress
for erecting the new 'louses of Parliament, and the indictment
charged the defendants with having committed a nuisance, by
causing an obstruction in the river, near Battersea, by deposit-
in, there large quantities of earth, &c.
'Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, if this application was granted
literally he could hardly conceive a case of nuisance where a
similar application would not lie. He did not like to open a
flood-gate of that sort. If a great number of specific acts were
laid, a rule might be taken calling on them to specify the acts
of which they complained.—Rule accordingly.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

DOE DEM. IIISCOCKS V. mscocics.
This was an ejectment brought against John Hiscocks under
these circumstances: Samuel Hiscocks, the testator, left his
property to his son Simeon for life, with remainder to
his eldest son, John Hiscocks ; Simeon Hiscocks had been
twice married, and though he had a son named John
Hiscocks, he was not his eldest son—the eldest son's
name being Simeon. The question was, what was the
intention of the grandfather. Did he mean the property to go
to the eldest son, or did he mean to give it to the son named
John.

The case was tried before Mr. Justico Bosanquet, when the
Jury found for the Oefendant.
A rule for a new trial was obtained several terms ago. It
was very fully argued two terms ago, when the Court took time
to consider their judgment.
At the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord ABINGEII
gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff. They considered that
there ought to be a new trial in the case. In order to see what
the intention of the testator was, whether he had intended to
give the property to the eldest son, but had made a mistake as
to the name, or to give it to John, but had at the time forgot
the existence of Simeon, was to be gathered from evidence as to
the manner in which in his life time the testator treated the two
parties, and the instructions which he gave for the waking his
will. That evidence having been rejected, the Court were of
opinion that thereought to be a new trial.
Rule made absolute accordingly.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 7.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo'sack

The Bishop of EXETER said that finding no return
could be made to the motion of which he had given no-
tice, he should now more that that notice be discharged,
and at the same time move for a return of the Patent of
Commission by which the Judge of the Court of Arches
held his office.
Earl GREY and Lord REDE SD ALE presented peti-
tions in favour of a penny postage.
Lord LORTON presented a petition from East Kerry,
against any alteration in the Corn-laws.
At the request of the Marquis of SALISBURY,
Lord BROUGHAM put off the bringing up of the
Report on the Beer Bill Amendment Act till Tuesday
next, that the Noble Marquis might have an opportunity of
proposing some amendments.
SPANISH LEGION.

The Marquis cf LONDONDERRY wished to know
what steps had been taken to liquidate the claims of those
unfortunate officers who had been instigated to enter into
the service of the Queen of Spain by her British Majesty's
Ministers. They had been deceived and duped, and
he could not help thinking that her Majesty's Minis-
ters ought to insist upon some payment for them.
He 'veld in his hand several letters on tho subject,
and also a very imposing sort of document issued
under the _ Spanish Commission sitting in London for
the liquidation of those claims which awarded the sum of
91. 4s. to a certain individual. But although this might
be called the bank note of General Alava, it carried no in-
terest, and there was no time or place specified as to when
or where the money was to be paid. He believed there
had been claims audited to the amount of 260,0001. ;
but what of that, when the claimants could not ob-
tain a shilling of payment. Of so little value were
these bank-notes of General Alava considered to be that
the parties entitled to payment under them were selling
them for Is. 6d. in the pound. The Noble Viscount op-
posite had not been able to do much of late, either
for this or for any other country, but be certainly
ought to exert himself in this matter, otherwise he would
hold out very little encouragement to military prowess.
He should move for a return of the accounts and the mea-
sures taken by the Commission with a view to satisfy the
claimants.

Viscount MELBOURNE had given the Noble Mar-
quis on a former occasion all the information in his
power, and he regretted that it was not satisfactory.
The Commission to which the Noble Marquis al-
luded was appointed one by the Spanish Government and
the other by the Committee of Officers. It had no con-
nection with the Government, nor was it under
the control of any department of the State, and therefore it
would be impossible to make an order upon them for a
copy of their accounts, or of the measures they had taken
to ratify these claims. In point of form, the Noble Marquis
could not make any such motion to +he House. At the same
time he thought he should be able to procure the informa-
tion the Noble Marquis required, and he should take the
earliest opportunity of informing the Noble Marquis of the
result.
