GREENOCK ELECTION.

On Tuesday, the day fixed by the sheriff for the nomina-
tion of a person to supply the place of Mr. Wallace, no less
than three candidates appeared, viz. :—Mr. Walter Baine,
Mr. Alexander Dunlop, advocate, and a Mr. M'Crae, a
Chartist preacher. Mr. Robert Steele, ship carpenter, pro-
posed Mr. Baine, seconded by Mr. James Stuart, merchant.
Mr. Alexander Dunlop was proposed by Mr. BPllvain,
shoemaker, seconded by Mr. John Gray, merchant. Mr.
John Neilson Nailor proposed Mr. M'Crae, seconded by Mr.
Moodie, cow feeder. Each of the candidates addressed the
meeting. Mr. Baine, who is a churchman, will support the
Government grant to Maynooth, but a persen who is
decidedly hostile to that measure must be had, and there•
fore Mr. Alexander Dunlop, the great champion of the Free
Church party, has been brought forward at the
twelfth hour. Both are Whigs—both are free-traders;
although, from the speeches, we are inclined to think that
Mr. Baine will go much further in that direction than Mr.
Dunlop. Probably, it is not unreasonable that such should be
the case, seeing that Mr. Baine has all his life been a gentle-
man very largely engaged in mercantile pursuits, while, on
the other hand, Mr. Dunlop is a lawyer, and his studies
naturally have been turned in a different direction. Then
comes Mr. M'Crae, whose address was more like a sermon
from a Baptist preacher than a disquisition, as he evidently
intended it should be, on political economy. Abuse of the
Whigs was his alpha and omega. The Sheriff declared the
show of hands to be in favour of Mr. M'Crae. Messrs. Baine
and Dunlop then demanded a poll, but Mr. M'Crae declined
to go to the poll.
The Sheriff fixed Thursday for taking the poll, which was
to commence at eight o'clock, and end at four.

REPRESENTATION Of WEST
KENT.

A meeting of Conservative electors was held at the Star
Hotel, Maidstone, yesterday, Captain Marsham, R.N., in the
chair, when it was unanimously resolved,
" That as Colonel Austen had expressed his willingness to
come forward upon the present occasion, this meeting deter-
mines to support him by every available means so as to secure
his election."
Of the Gallant Colonel, the CHAIRMAN said he was a man
devotedly attached to the Established Church, an earnest and
indefatigable friend to the farmer, and a supporter of all those
principles which were best calculated to advance the interests
of the electors of the county of Kent, and the public at large.
Colonel AUSTEN afterwards addressed the meeting, and ex-
pressed his determined opposition to the grant to Maynooth,
which in his opinion had been begun in error, had been
abused, and ought rather to be suspended than increased.
Sir W. B. RIDDEL then read the resolution of Lord Holmes-
dale's Committee in London :—" That Lord Holmesdale,
being in compliance with a requisition signed by upwards of
1,300 electors, and with the promises of support of a numerous
and influental meeting held at Maidstone, declared a candi-
date for the western division of the county of Kent, and no
circumstances having since occurred to raise a substantial
doubt as to his success, this Committee regret that the cen-
tral Committee should have arranged with Captain King to
substitute Colonel Austen for Lord Holmesdale, for the pur-
pose of opposing the Government on the Maynooth grant,
without sufficient demonstration on the part of the con-
stituency in general."
The feeling of discontent expressed by Lord Holmesdale's
Committee at Captain King's and the central Committee's
decision will not die away, and the Liberals should be pre-
pared. The day of nomination is fixed for this day week,
the 25th inst.

[ADVERTISEMENT.
HYGEIAN MANIFESTO.

If doctors can (as they hold out to the world) prove
that such poisons as prussic acid, arsenic, opium, &c.,
&c., can (under any circumstances) cure, or tend to
cure, any disease or malady, we will at once admit that
that medicine should only be practised by those who
know how to deal with such poisons ; but satisfied as
we are that they ;cannot prove any such thing, and,
moreover, fully believing that poisons are held out medi-
cinally to the world by doctors in order to create a
monopoly and make a trade of " advice," we deny the
right of any Legislature to force, by enactment, such a
body of men upon the public as those practising on the
organic theory, which theory admits of poisons being
held out as medicines.
Hygeists claim the medical liberty of the subject, be-
cause they believe that with what is strictly " medici-
nal "—that is, a proper vegetable purgative,. all persons
can, and ought, to be their own doctors. It is, in short,
because this opinion is now become prevalent, that doc-
tors are obliged to Fo before Parliament for extra-
ordinary and most unjust demands—such as to compel
the public to employ them nokns volens.

those admirable requisites for the Toilet, the Macassar I
Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto, as prepared by the Messrs.
Rowland, and which, from their merits and reputation,
are the constant objects of fraudulent imitation. The
parties so imitating concoct some trashy compounds
resembling in appearance those of Messrs. Rowland,
and by adopting the very same names, and copying
the labels and bills, endeavour to pass off their trash
as the " genuine" articles, reckless of the injury which
they will inevitably inflict on those who are deceived
by using them. We should have imagined that an
English tradesman, whose reputation for honour and
integrity is proverbial, would not have stooped to the
meanness of so base and paltry an action. Neverthe-
less we know for certain that such is the case, and we
would advise all Patrons of Messrs. Rowland's Articles
to purchase only of respectable venders—and particularly
to observe the caution in their advertiement, which
frequently appears in our paper.
DEATH OF MR. FARRELL, THE CLERK OF THE
COURSE AT Ersoat.—Yesterday information was sent to Mr.
Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, that Mr. Joseph Farrell, who
has so long held the situation of clerk of the course, died
suddenly. It appeared from the statement sent to the Coro-
ner that Mr. Farrell was at work in his garden when he sud-
denly fell down and died. his death is much regretted.
