REPRESENTATION OF SOUTII

LANCASHIRE.
A meeting of Mr. Henry's committee was held on
Tuesday evening, in the League Council Chamber,
Isiewall's-buildings. Mr. George Wilson presided.
The CHAIRMAN said that every step taken was in ac-
cordance with the rule laid down at the last election. He
had. seen a number of gentlemen, and had heard only one
opinion expressed as to the wisdom of the choice of Mr.
Henry.
The SECRETARY stated that a good many gentlemen
had given in their names as committeemen.''
Mr. HENRY then said that he begged leave, the
first place, to express to them the deep obligations which
he felt under to them, for the honour they had conferred
upon him, in bringing him forward to represent this in-
telligent division of the county. Though he had not
been accustomed to public speaking, and therefore feared
that he might acquit himself but indifferently on
occasion, he hoped that with practice, and with the ap-
probation of the respectable gentlemen he saw around
him, and the other enlightened electors of the county,
he should in time approach, in some degree, to wh3t
they wished to find in their representative.—(leari
that
hear.) He was sensible that it was for no merit ?
his own that he had been brought forward by them; it
was because they thought he would fearlessly and ho-
s
nestly carry out the great principles they bad alwwaitYh
advocated, and which he had held in common .
them, that they had selected him for that important
trust which he hoped would he conferred upon hue.--
mon
(Hear, hear.) He had always held opinions in coal
with theirs from the time that he was able to form ail
opinion upon such subjects, and although he had not at-
tended public meetings, from a conviction that his firs t
_
duty was to his family and that his chief attention should
be paid to his business, yet his heart and hand had al-
ways been with them in the support of the great ca s?
in which they had been actively engaged.—(A
In sending him to Parliament, he could assure them thar
neither place, circumstances, nor situation, would eve.
lead him to desert the great principles which be had an.
nounced to them, and for which they had been pleasea
to select him as a candidate for the representation. s
. The CHAIRMAN said, that after Mr. Henry's addres.

it was not necessary to renew their assurances to rp.
port him. The opinions he had expressed coincided
entirely with those which were entertained by the mem-
bers of the committee.
The proceedings then terminated.—Manchester

CaLoROFORm. The new substance called
Perehloride of Formyle, or Chloroform, hars been
found to be a very superior substitute for ether, in
deadening all sensibility to pain ; and it is particularly
applicable where there are any difficult or painful or;
rations on the teeth to be performed. It has been trie"
by Mr. Bowden, of Charles-street, St. James's, in eL;
tracting some very deeply-seated stumps with the over
perfect success. It is found to have a superiority over
ether, in being pleasant to inhale ; a much smaller
quantity will have the desired effect (sixty drops having
been found sufficient to produce perfect insenSibilitY.)
it is also more certain in its action, without caustOg
nausea, headache, or any other unpleasant sensations ;
it is also quite free from any dangerous results, an iii
parts no offensive smell to the clothes or breath lute'
having been taken.—(From a Correspondent.)
