We have a letter from a gentleman in Man-
chester to his friend in London, affording a key to the
election in that capital. Mr. PHILIPS was brought for-
ward by the decided Reformers, wbo left the field open to
the hss decided Reformers, or Waverers; who, not acting
with sufficient promptitude, the Conservatives, with con-
siderable tact, started Mr. HOPE, a gentleman of agree-
able manners, awl possessed of more than the usual share
of suppleness attributed to his countrymen. The Wa-
verers then started Mr. Ltovn, but he was obnoxious to
the Reformers, who would have voted for Mr. COMMIT,
than either Mr. HorE or Mr. LLOYD. Mr. POULETT
THOMSON having previously offered himself for Rtver,
could not appear as a candidate; but it was quietly con-
cluded that no Member of his Majesty's Government could
fail to accept the important trust of serving, if elected for
that great centre of commercial and manufacturing indus•
try ; and the appeal to the electors was made by a few
individuals of no particular rank or influence in society ;
and, as it is stated in the letter alluded to, " they had
nothing to urge in support of the cause, but simply to
appeal to public principle, to the honour and interest of
the borough, and the hearty and consistent conduct of the
Reformers, who stood pledged to give their utmost sup-
port to the Reform Government, and to the principles on
which their existence is based." Not a farthing was ex-
pended ; and this election was, if ever there was one, a
triumph of sound principles.—Morning Chronicle.
M. GEOFFROY ST. HILAIRE, the eminent
naturalist, has been struck with a paralysis, which has de-
prived him of the use of his left side, and affected the organ
of speech. He has, however, experienced considerable
relief from medical treatment, and hopes are entertained of
his recovery.

We are sorry to observe, by the Paris papers,
that Lord GRANVILLE was confined to his chamber by a
severe fit of gout.
