ÜBLIN, FEBRUARY 20.
GALWAY ELECTION. —The election closed on Friday after-
noon by the triumphant return of A. Lynch, Esq.
THE WEATHER.—The thaw still continues, and we may
expect the ordinary inland communication to be re-opcned in
a day or two t the most.
COVE, THURSDAY, THREE O'CLOCK, P. M.—Within the me-
mory of the oldest inhabitant no such gals as that of last night,
and still continuing, has taken place. It commenced at five
*o'clock in the evening, and nearly every vessel in Port hero
driven in shore, or rcceired damage, and some aro totally

lost.—Corp Southern Reporter.
The damage on the coast must be very great. Guns were
heard in the offing, and great alarm prevails. Several of the
wharfs aad .houses arc damaged. The sea in the harbour is
so heavy that it is impossible for a boat to put off. One boat
that went to the assistance cf the Neptune is swamped. The
vessels that appear to ride the gale are 11. M. ship Hercules;
the Magistrate, for Sydney ; the Alert, for the Cane; the
Foyle packet ; the Enterprise and Waterloo revenue cutters.
The French fiigate Terpsichore drove ashore ; boats stove
in, and firing signals of distress.
The bark Nailer, from Africa, ashore at White Point.
The schooner Emma, Newfoundland, dismasted and ashore.
Likely to be a total wreck.
The Eliza, for Madeira, ashore at White Point.
Tho Brig Temperance, scuttled and ashore on the Rocks ;
also the schooner Julia for Newfoundland.
The ship Isabella and Bark Albion are in contact ; bow-
sprit of former sprung, and mizen-mast of latter carried away;
The Victoria and Adelaide are yet riding safely, but arc
very near the shore.
The Pilot boat that went off to assist the Neptune is
swamped, and several of the Pilot boats arc bilged and ashore.
There is a report of a French Frigate from Bourbon being
in the Offing ; but no Craft can stir out.
The Revenue Boat is upset.
The Waterford Chronicle of Tuesday last describes the
weather as having been of a severity scarcely ever before
known : several artful accidents by land are seidao have taken
place ; at sea also considerable damage has been done. Tile
beautiful nera steamer, the Kilkenny, Captain Price, master,
which left this on Tuesday for London, experienced the ter-
rible effects of Thursday's stem. She had a considerable
share of live stock on beard, and among them about seven
hundred pigs, all of which were thrown over board. The
property, we understand, belonged to shippers of this port,
and of •Carrick-on-Suir, and Clonmel, and was for the greater
part, insured—a tow steamer left this yesterday morning for
the Kilkenny, which was lying at anchor off Dunmore. The
Liverpool, schooner, 72aEller, master, front Waterford to
Liverpool, has been lost off I3eaumaris, in the Isle of Angle-
sea—the crew were providentially saved. The Erin, of, and
from Wexford, bound for Gloucester, arrived in this harbour
on Saturday, had to put into Milford Haven, but was driven
out with loss of three anchors.
DREADFUL SNDIV STonen-:-Withia the memory of the
oldest inhabitant this coast did not experience so dreadful a
hurricane, as that which prevailed from Tuesday evening until
yesterday, when the wind slackened a little. Several ships
have been shattered to pieces, whilst others have sunk. We
are afraid that several wrecks will be reported after the storm
shall have subsided. There was a rumour in town yesterday
that the St. Patrick steamer was on the Long Bank ; but
happily there has been no confirmation of it. The day coaches,
after proceeding as far as Kyle yesterday morning, were com-
pelled to return, the roads being completely blocked up with
snow. At the moment we write (I 2 o'clock, night) neither
the Dublin or Munster mail has arrived.—Waterford Chron.
NATIONAL EDUCATION—ELECTION OF TWENTY-Flv.E.
SFPCTORS.—After a very searching examination, twenty-five
Inspectors of national schools have been selected by the Board.
Six hundred and thirty-four Candidates presented themselves
in the first instance; from these sixty-five were selected for
further examination in a prescribed course of chemistry, alge-
bra, mathematics, geology, building, natural philosophy, poli-
tical economy, &c., time being given for preparation. The
second examination occupied six hours each day fur nine days,
when the successful candidates were declared.
A correspondent has furnished us with a sketch of the man-
ner in which the Commissioners proceeded. We regret that
we cannot find room for the detail into which his letter enters.
He commences his communication by observing that, "shortly
after the close of the inquiry into the system of National Edu-
cation in Ireland, by both Houses of Parliament, during th©
last Session, the Commissioners of Education, as may be re-
collected, announced their intention of dividing the country
(Ireland) into twenty-five districts, and appointing an Inspec-
tor of School; in each of theae. The evening organ in Lon-
don of the Tories said, at the time, that this was but an ex-
piring effort of patronage just on the eve of the whole Com-
missioe being blown up. The matter has been now actually
accomplished, and the predictions of that Paper, although re-
garded by those who wished to believe them as most veritable,
have, inversely as those of the prophetess Cassandra, turned
out to be unfulfilled."
We understand that John Fethers.ton, Esq., a thorough
Tory, has been appointed High Sheriff of Longford ; this is
too bad. Who is to be the Deputy? We understand he is
one of the right sort.—Pilot.

TAFF-YALE 11A I LwA Y.—This is a short but very
important line of Railway now in progress, which is very.little
kno xn out of its own immediate district. It connects tho
vast iron works of Merthyr Tydill, Glanorganshire, with
the port of Cardiff; in the improveinent of which, the Mar-
quis of Bute is expe.ding a very con-iderable sum in the con-
struction of large and commodious docks. A very extensive
trade in coals is also already carried on through this line of
country by means of the Glamorganshire Canal Company,
the proved insufficiency of which precludes any successful
competition with the Railway, either in regard to economy or
diTateh. A General Meeting of Proprietors took place at
Cardiff on the 14th inst., Waiter Collin, Esq., in the Chair, at
which the report of the progress made in the works, state of
the financ.:s, and future prospects of the Company, gave entire
satisfaction to the assembled proprietors, who separated under a
confirmed feeling of confidence in the undertaking.
This day is the anniversary of the day on which that
eminent artist Sir Joshua Reynolds died, in the year 1792;
and to-morrow will be the anniveeaary of the birth-day of G.
F. Handel, who was born in 1651. -
It is estimated that the sum required to build a new
Royal Ezchang,e, fire-proof, on the Lest plan, would be about
160,000/
There is a general complaint in the new Club-
houzes at the West-end of the town of the want of sociality,
and also of taciturnity among the members, many of whom
enter the club-room and deport without recognizing or seeming
to know each other. It has been remarked that if convivi.ility
is the object of a festive party, it is only to be found at a dinner
at a well regulated tavern.
CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AT BIRMINGHANI.--.
William Weston arid James Kimberly were charged, on the
complaint of Mr. George Wheatley, with having, on the 9th
of October last, conspited to defraud the creditors of John
Pi ice, a bankrupt, by causing him to execute a deed of assign-
ment, with intent t) defraud. The bankrupt (John Price)
%vas examined at great length, af,er which the liriconers were
o;dercd to be committed for trial. Bail was admitted to time
amount of 2001. each, and two sureties of 100/. Weston was
brought up yesterday on the charge of conspiracy with his
nephew (the attorney) to concoct a fraudulent mortgage, and
it is understood that there will he indictments against him and
Kimberly for perjury.
From Bahia letters of time 2;3d December state that
the insurgent party continukd at the head of affairs, so far as
the to,vn was concerned, but the isband of Itaparica and all
the Reconcavo were in favour of time legitimate Governmeßt.

LONDON :
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 183$.

1 tie Tories are resolved to use their utmost exertions to
get possessioa of a scat for Mary lebone. They promise
themselves too complete success. Nor will we at once say
that their hopes are unfounded ; for any division amongst
the Reformers, which they will sedulously encourage, will
enable them to attain their object. Above and before all
things, the Reformers must therefore guard against splits,
quarrels, and disunion. Though they carried two Re-
formers at the general election, they must remember, as
Mr. ROBINSON mentioned at the meeting last night, that
a considerable number of Tory gentlemen and noblemen,
who reside in the parish, and were then out of town, are now
here, and will use all their influence to secure the success
of their party. The Reformers must not calculate too se-
curely on success, and must meet the great exertions of the
Tories by equally great and combined exertions. They
have begun well, and the wise recommendation of Mr.
ROBINSON to sacrifice their private feelings to the public
good—to allow, in fact, the majority to decide—establishes
the true principle to be acted on in every representative
Government. If such a principle had guided the
conduct of our Whig Ministers in relation to the
Ballot, instead of a pertinacious adherence to a favou-
rite opinion of their own, more worthy of the co-
operative Mr. OWEN, or the late Major CARTWRIGHT, or
any other of the men whose reputation rests on one
idea, than of statesmen, we should not now be threatened
with a schism amongst Reformers, and a new fusion of
parties running melted Tories and recreant Whigs into
all the manifold moulds of place. The Reformers of Mary-
lebone having made so good a beginning will, we hope,
follow it up, and unanimously support that Reform candi-
date who is most likely to be acceptable to the electors.
After the large meeting of yesterday at the Buffalo's
Head, where only seven bands were held up for Lord
NuGENT, only two liberal candidates can now divide the
suffrages of the Reformers. We put Lord NUGENT aside
being convinced that his Lordship will not hazard an
eternal exclusion from Parliament by persisting in demand-
ing the rotes of the electors. The decision now lies be-
tween Colonel THOMPSON and Mr. EWART. Our pre-
ference for the latter has been strengthened by his speech
of yesterday evening, and by Colonel THOMPSON'S address
this morning. Mr. EWART, fully acting up to the senti-
ment for whiCh we yesterday gave him credit, declared that
" if he should find there existed a tendency to support others
professing the same opinions as himself, that comingas he did,
invited, he would, rather than risk the interests of the cause in
which they were engaged unsolicited withdraw." Colonel
THOMPSON, however, says, obviously preferring his own sa-
tisfaction to the success of his party—
" At the last general election I declined standing for two
boroughs, although strongly invited; from the Setermina-
lion not to risk a division of the Liberal interest, by opposing
Ia candidate of any shade of Liberal opinions known to be in
the field. It does not appear that the measure I have meted
to others is to be meted to me. The blame of any division
that may arise will not lie at my door."
So that if Colonel THOMPSON, from any peculiar circum-
stances be not likely to succeed in Marylebone, another
Reformer is not to be brought forward, lest they be blamed
for causing the sin of schism amongst the Reformers, which
the Colonel seems as ready to denounce in his own case as
the priests of the Establishment are to reprehend it in
Dissenters. We respectfully beg leave to suggest to
°lone! THOMPSON, that there are circumstances which
ill operate to his disadvantage in offering himseif
r Marylebone. He has taken a very decided part in the
Canada affair, and the very few persons who have sup-
ported his views show that they are unpopular in the em-
pire. When he spoke on the subject, too, he made use
of language which, whether misreported or misunderstood
we know not, was worked to produce on many Liberals of
weaker nerves or stomachs than the Colonel, a most un-
favourable effect. We beg not to be understood as
speaking disparagingly of him, for whom as a thorough
consistent Reformer, we have a great respect. 'We
Only refer to the effect of his conduct and language
in relation to Canada on a large class of per-
sons. If ho were to go to the poll in Marylebone, the
Tories would, we fear, ply his declaration at the Crown
and Anchor on the prejudics of the people, with disas-
trous results to the Reform interest. It is not to be con-
coaled or denied that the extreme opinions of the Colonel
are not generally popular : we believe that they are not very
popular in Marylebone, and we trust, therefore, unless the
Colonel be positively certain of success against Lord TEIGN-
motrrH, that he will act on Mr. EWART'S promise, and un,
solicited withdraw.
Li

,ord MAIDSTONE, the son of the Earl of WINCHELSEA,
and probably the heir to his father's Ultra-Protestant pre-
judices, gave notice last night, in the House of Commons,
that ho will this evening put a question to Mr. O'CoN-
NELL, concerning some sentiments delivered by him at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Wednesday. The Post,
which may he supposed to be good authority on such
a point, gays the following are the words about which Mr.
O'CONNELL is to be questioned :
" tie did not mince the matter : his words might appear in
the Public Press ; he hoped they would. Ireland was not
tale from the perjury of the English and Scotch Gentry, who
took oaths according to justice, and voted according to party."
If the personal subject be actually brought before the
House of Commons, it is likely to occupy much of the
public attention to the exclusion of far more important
matters. On that supposition we shall have several oppor-
tunities of recurring to it, and shall not now, therefore,
trouble ourselves to quote proofs of the correctness of Mr.
O'CoNNELL's assertion, It will be enough to remind our
readers, that Mr. O'CoNNELL was referring to the mode
of striking election Committees, and that men of all parties
agree, that the Members of those Committees do some
bPAPow

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.
GYNTLEMEN,
BY an Advertisement in the Morning Papers of
this Day, I was invited by name to attend at a Publics
Meeting, to be held at the Yorkshire Stingo, New-road, for the
purpose of submitting a Proposition to the. Meeting, as to which of
the Reform Candidates should resign, to prevent the Representa-
tion from falling into the hands of a Tory.
I attended, and was told in the presence of Mr. Ewart and Mr.
Hume, that the Meeting was not a Public Meeting, and that I
was not invited.
A necessity appears to be thus laid upon me to go the poll, which
I could not evade if I would.

The publication of Tali SUN NRW SPA PER commenced this day
at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock.
