DUBLIN ELECTION.
- •
The Coalmine, appointed to sit on this rlec:Lie
yesterday closed their labours, after having been set?
busi'y engaged in the elimination of witnesses. As
.soon As all the Members forming the Comibistrie had
assembled, Mr. HARRISON. the. leading Counsel for the
Petitioner, rose and stated, that he had to thank the
Committee fbr the indulgence they had granted him its
praying for a Cofismission to be sent into Ireland fir
the purpose of bringing over more witnesses horn
thence, but that at a late hour on Monday night he re-
ceived a communication from his client, Mr. Hamilton,
in which it was stated, that Mr. Hamilton, after much
consideration, thought he would not avail himielt of 'he
indulgence, but at once resigned the contest. Strangers
were then ordered to withdraw, and in helf an hour
the door of the Cundmittee•room was ag in throw
open, and the following Resolution read by the Chair-
man (Mr. WA LLACR) -" It ,is the opinion of this
Committee that Lieutenant Colonel White is duly
elected a Knight to serve in Parliament, and that 31'.
Hamilton is not duly elected; that neither the Petitt•.a
nor the opposition appears vexatious or frivolous to this
Committee."

RESTOR ATION OP A LOST NOSR.
Thursday, Mr. Li.ton, surgeon in this city, perforated
an operation of a very peculiar nature on the face of a
young man, whose nose had been almost crmpletely
obliterated by the effects ot,a severe blow. Tne appear-
ance of his face had been rendered quite hideous,
more like that of a death's head than of a living mdr-
tal. The method or restoring the lost feature is ell-
led the Taliactrtan operation, from t' e name of the
surgeon who is said 'to have first perforated it. This
is the first time it has ever been tried i Scut:and, and it is
hoped, from the success attending th: operation, that it
may not be the last. The writer of this was a non medical
witness, who saw Mr. Liston operate before the pupils itti.
tending his class. The courage of the young mar, who was
to undergo the operation had been screwed up to the
cutting point, and it was somewhat difficult to say whe-
ther the dexterity of the operator, mine fortitude Obis
pat'eut, was most to be admired. The first putt of the
operation is to cut off a portion of the small remnant of
the co; nose, for the purpose of forming a inrface
to which the dew nose may be attached, and .finally
adhere by the complete vital union of parts.—
The second stage of the operation is to flay down
from the centre of the forehead to the top of the
nose' a portion of the skin and muscles which will
be of sufficient size, ashen propped up, to fans
the external appearance of the organ. The upper per.
'tion of this skin is cut very narrow to form the division
of the nostrils, and the whole is then turned upside
down and laid over the part where the nose should be.
It is then firmly attached to the face by means of a
nurnb:r of single stitches of the needle, and left to adhere
and heal up, which generally soon occurs. It is true
that a gash of rather an unseemly appeatnace IS made
in the forehead; but by means of adhe.ite platter the'
edges of the fresh wound are made very nearly to meet,
and when it is healed up there only remains a scar,
which is but a very trifling disparagement to the
countenance of man, compared with the disagreeable
look which always attends a defect in the nasal
promontory. The operation altogether lasted neatly
half an hour, hot the time during which the knife was
actually applied to the parts, and in which alone the
pain must have been very intense, was not more than .
two or three minutes.

The East Retford Election Committee have decided
that the election of the sitting Members is void.
