On Wednesday, the fragments of two chests
of drawers, above thirty linen shirts, some feather beds, and a
number of articles of wearing apparel, 'were got amorist- the
ruins of Cilison's Land. A handtotne silver watch, with
two gold seals attached, was also got among the
,rubbish
and, what is rather singular, the watch had not received
the slightest injury, the glass vas not even cracked.—
On Thursday afternoon, a man of the name of Turnbull, who
was unscrewing a bed at the time of the acceident,' and who
has been amissing since, was found dead amongst the rubbish,
with his bed-key firmly graSped in his band. Turnbull was in
the act ofleaping over the window of the first flat when the
land fell,,and buried him in the ruins.—(Giaseie 'Courier,
Feb.g2.)

The Marquis of CHAXDO3 addressed the ass,:mbly. lie
could not refrain from expressing his deep regret at the resig-
nation of him who hullo long served them, and who, he firmly
believed, never gave a vote but what came from his heart.—
(Cheers.)—lte was necessary, in times like these, to .examine
into a man's principles before returning to serve in Partin-
ment. He was, therefore, about to propose for their appi.O.
batten trtion of strictintegrity and acute kto%;ldge—a man
for whose conduct he world vouch, its ha knew he would set
uprightly. He would name him—Sir Edward 'Hyde East,
Baronet {Continued Cheers.)—The individual he had named
would, he 'hoped, if elected, long live to serve theni. His
transcendant talents were so well known that thno. was no
need to dwell on them. lie (the Noble Marquis) knew that
Sir Edward's peculiar attention would be directed to the prose.
peritv 'of the City of Winchester, and the general welfare of the
kingdom.

eitant.rs GnEstr, Esq. said he had never intruded him.
self before on the notice of his brother Freemen, nor. should he
now trespass on much of their time. Sir E. IL cast had held
a high situation abroad, in which he had dischatged his duty
with ability and integrity—a sure presage, that.:if he were
elected as their Representive he would act with honour to hint.
self, and advantage to- his constituenta. Ills priVate virtues
public talent; •ren;lered hith a fit person to repres:mt them ;
and. he (Mr. U.) thorefott felt an honest pride in seconding the
proposal of the. Noble Marquis.
Mr. Alderman SILVER said he felt an interest in tha welfare
of that city, of the Corporation of which he was so Oda Mem-
, bet. He was acquainted with their late Representative, and
thought that he merited the gratitute of his constituents for the
conduct he had pursued; having ever been actuated by the noble
feelings of .the House of Chandos-which every :one pre,.
sent. must feel happy to see descended where they • now
found theist,' (pointing to the Marqiiis.—Cheers and bravo.)
--As to • the. talents and virtues of- the gentleman now
offered - to. their notice, it was not. for him to say much,'
for they extended front East to West, add were high in the es-
timation Of all men. Happy he was with this opportunity of
saying so, and thus expressing, he trusted, the sentiments of
the .whole Assembly.
The Mayor then asked if any other candidate was about to
be proposed. 'But no other candiate appeared,' anti Sir • Edw.
Hyde East, Dart. was therefore, declared duly and unanimointly
Elected to serve in Parliament, .as one of the Representatives
of the City of Winchester. After the continuedeheering which
folloWed had subsided, '

Sir 'Eno. II VIYE.EAST, Bart. addressed the Electors. Ile
rendered to his Brother Freemen his runt hearty thanks for the
distinguished honour they had just done Inns, end it gave hint
additional satisfaction to see the very liberal and independent
manner in which it had been conferred. Ile was grateful for
the marks of ,kindness and of friendship he had experienced
from hiS supporters on the Bench, and from the whole Body of
Freemen whom he had the Honour to address. . Hew not the'
presumption to think that he had claims. on them beyond others
who formed apart of that hotly. lie. was much gratified in
witnessing their atttacbment to those Honourhble Men on the
Bench who hail given him their support. Their unanimous choice
had deeply affected him. liereally hod felt my much more than
he had been able to express 6oni the kind manner in which
they had received die proposal cf his Mimic, that it quite over-
came the setteposeeesion which he thought he should have pot:-
messed on the occasion—( Loud and continued Cheers,)—While
he deeply felt the honour, he could not conceal Iron himself
the responsibility and difliertityof the eituation to which they
had elected him. He would ,not abuse his own, feelings, nor
insult :theirs, by doing what had been UK) often done—by
stringing befiere them a list-of grievance's, for the purpose of
vilifying the Constitutions of their Country. Where thflicul.
ties and distress' did, howeVer, exist, he was net 'linen to
shrink, but would do his best to remedy them. It bad been
asserted, that the great Agricultural Distress, which at present
exists in this Unitary, arises from want of a proper Parlia-
mentary Representation; but he ,thought that no one there
would believe that it could have leeen'avOldeti by a difference

by the unanimous consent of the people. If ever a War was
waged with the ►general approbation of the people, he did believe
it wits the last War, %tenet the despotism of France. If any
class of People went wlth it more titan Another, it was the
'great body of the Agriculturists; who were then rising to a
state of the most unexampled prosperity. It is not histori-
cally true, that any 'of the hardens can be attributable to any
want of taking the real sense of the people of aide country in
the prosecution of that war. There were, however, eirctn.
stances attending the War which did contribute to them. The
very successes of the war in part caused them, by the great
quantities of land which were broeght into the Cultivation of
grain, to answer the extraordinary demands, and which still
remain as they were then, converted from their origival stete.
of pasture. Another supposed cause of the distress, is the al-
teration in the currency of the' kingdom, This, perhaps,
might have been done more gradually ;• but to cure it by
going back to the very root of the evil, could not be expected
by men of sense. As to the taxation Which necessarily arose out

tem of robbery which ttorne have bed the andecity td
