Mr. GRAHAM observed, that the Chairman had
put the Motion on the One side, but had declined,
through forgetfulness, he supposed, to put it on the
contrary.
. _ ,
The question being put on the contrary, the Chair-
man decided that a major ityof hands-appeared against
the Noble Lord:

Mr. GIBBONS observed, that an opinion seemed
to prevail in the minds of some persons, that because
Mr.iSheridan thought proper to resign, the. eleaion
of
.Lord Percy must folltlw of course. He trusted
that no such consequence would follow. -.But, in'
order to afford time to the Ele&ors to look .out for
an eligible person, he would propose that the Meet-
ing should adjourn to some future-day. •
' Mr. FftOST spoke in favour of an adjournment, and
expressed his hope that those feelings of independence
which the great example of- Mr. Fox encouraged,
were not so entirely extinguished in Westminster
that a fit Candidate could not be found.

After a very long and desultory conversation, in
the .course of which many persons expressed. their
wish that the Ele&ors should, persist in eleEting Mr.
Sheridan, notwithstanding his. resignation, the Meet-.
ing adjourned to this day se'nnight..

On the morning of yesterday se'nuight the'body
of Captain George Simpson was found in the Hirer,
opposite Motley's quay, North Shields. He had
walked from Newcastle the:preceding evening, in
company with a person belonging to South Shields,
with whom he went into the Dock-house, to have
a glass of liquor, the half of which Mr. S. left, and
was perlealy sober : he then saw the person into
the boat, and sobn'after returned to the house they
had left, and requested the landlord to slteW him
his way home, as he`was not able to find it on ac,.
count of the darkness of the night.- A candle was
in consequence held out of the window, and Mr.
S. said be was perfectly satisfied. It is, however,
probable that he had gone down the street instead
of IT, and had mistaken some of the quays for a
passage to the bank, where his house is situated,
and unfortunately fell over. His face was cut and
bru;sed in a shocking manner. Coroner's verdict—
s.eiccit4mtal Death.

It is evident that every person, ybung, and old,
should purchase books Wherein they are materially
interested. This being the case with respea to the
" GuinE TO HEALTH," which is so justly recom-
mended to young men and boys, an early attention
to its maxims will guard them from a fatal rock on
which thousands have split ; and be the means of
preserving their bodies from disease, their souls,
their minds, and all their, faculties, froni destru&ion.
