"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as had

Such are cases ix., xi., xit., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dill tation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-

LIMERICK COUNTY.

Wednesday week, the 12th instant, has been fixed by
the High Sheriff for the election in the county of Lime-
rick, rendered necessary by Mr. Monsell's acceptance of
office as Clerk of the Ordnance. The office is one which
has hitherto been filled by a military gentleman, and
Mr. Monsen is the first Roman catholic who has been
appointed to it since the revolution of 1688. Judging
from the fact that he has escaped the attacks of all the
party organs one may conclude that Mr. Motell's ap-
pointment is not an unpopular one.

his seat for Buckingham, Mr. Dudley M. Perceval, of
Christ Church, will be put in nomination to-day, in op-

to-morrow and Thursday, and from the numerous pro-
mises of support, there is every probable hope that Mr.

HALIFAX.

The nomination took place at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, in the Piece Hall-yard, a spacious area,
capable of containing a very large number of people.
Mr. EDWARD AKROYD, of Denton-park, proposed, and
Mr. JOHN CROSSLEY, brother of the sitting member for
the borough (F. Crossley, Esq.), seconded, the nomina-
tion of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, as a fit and
proper person to represent this borough.
Mr. GEO. HAIGH proposed, and Mr. JOHN ABBOTT
seconded, the nomination of Mr. Henry Edwards, as a
suitable person to represent that borough in Parliament.
Both the candidates addressed the electors ; after
which,

The MAYOR took a show of hands in favour first of
Sir Charles Wood, and then of Mr. Edwards. There
was a large number of hands held up for Sir Charles
Wood, but a still larger number for Mr. Edwards, who
was declared to be elected by a show of hands.
The result was hailed with loud cheers from the Tory
side, though the minority who held up for Sir Charles
Wood was much larger than at the election in July.
Mr. AKROYD, on behalf of Sir Charles Wood, de-
manded a poll.

The MAYOR at once acceded to the demand, and an-
nounced that the poll would open at eight o'clock on
the following (Tuesday) morning, and close at four
o'clock on the same day ; and at eleven , o'clock on
Wednesday morning he should proceed to make the
declaration.

A vote of thanks to the Mayor, seconded by Sir C.
WOOD, was carried by acclamation.

The MAYOR called for three cheers for the Queen,
which was at once responded to, and the meeting
separated.

A VESSEL SUNK AT THE 117.1:OUTH OF THE THAMES.—
Yesterday morninc, the Glide, Foster, from Hartlepool,
arrived in the
t(
eriver, by which vessel information was
received
vf the total loss of the brig Eleanor, Magur,
of South Shields. )
Coal
laden, and
lnelanndoor
thew was
sfrhooamrsSbhoiealodosn, foron
London,
Tuesday night, about 9 o'clock, when she came into
violent collision with the General Stearn Navigation Com-
pany's ship Waterwitch, bound from London for Hull.
The force of the concussion was so great that it was
found the Eleanor was sinking fast; and the crew had
barely time to get their boat out and leave the vessel,
when she sunk, and it was with difficulty that the crew
escaped being drawn into the vortex caused by the sink-
ing ship. The Glide also reports that she was in colli-
sion with the abovementioned steam-ship the same
evening, and sustained some damage to her topsides.
The night was thick, with little wind, so that it is pos-
sible the lights of either vessel were not observed in
sufficient time to prevent the accident.
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.—The Mayor of Exeter has
given his sanction to the suspension of business on Mon-
clay the 26th inst., in consequence of Christmas-day
d
_ ay
falling on a Sunday, the principal met chants and ta d e
Wren en having signed a memorial to his worship forr
thes
purpose. No doubt other provincial cities and towns
will suspend business also on the day in question, in
order that both the employers and the employed may
have a day's recreation.

b.LNI with the Vi the ot wide-spread Errors
r relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
inerative System, dr Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from •he German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Picktord 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to Germs*, medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, thet he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust Oh. may not be the last, if he shall tetect any
other equally flagrant ev:l winch it may be in his ,wee to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, M.:3' iS, 1811. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
hisers,' and ' M edic al Fri ends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could rind its way into the hands of those who suffer fr ,m the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, thouizh it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
emnitics.l system of treating Sperrnatorrhcea, and to placs the treat-
molt upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore
likely to do much good."—Medi.‘al Circular. June IG, 1852.
