C &STUMM!,
THE very flittering reception I have experienced
from you upon my Canvass demands my warmest acknow-
ledgements; it has inspired me with a confident hope, that the dis-
tingui•hed honour which I have solicited at your bands will be
conferred upon me.

Permit me most respectfully to request the favour of your
attendance and support fn the Guildhall, on FRIDAY nest, at
Twe o'Clock precisely, being the day which has been faxed for
th- Nomination and Election of Representatives of the aty of
Lo3don in Parliament.

I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Committee Room, Your faithful Servant,
London Tavern, June 6, 1826. W3l. THOMPSON.
WE are happy in being enabled to announce, that
the pretensions of such a political quack as WWians
Cobbett to the REPRESENTATION of the loyal Borough of
PRESTON, will meet with a powerful check. Capt. ROBERT
BARRIE, of the Royal Navy, has been solicited by a Deputation
from a numerous body of the most respectable Inhabitanta of Pres-
ton, to offer himself as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Election ;1
for which purpose to gallant Captain started last night at Twelve
o'Clock, from Hatchett's Hotel, Dover-otreet, with all possible
speed, to the scene of action. We wish him every success, trusting
that the voters of Preston will afford him an opportunity of adding
to the services he has already rendered his country, by electing him
dick Representative in Parliament, on those truly Constitutional
principles upon which he now offers himself.

This day was published,
In demy quarto, containing 16 plates, price Hs.
rilHb.; MIST PART OF RESEARCHES INTO
1 FOSSIL OSTEOLOGY; partially abridged and re•arranged
from the Frtnch of the

BARON CUVIER,
Member of ebe Institute of France, &c.

It was originally intendtd to have published a complete transla-
tion of this celebrated Work but the apprehension that a book of
so great extent, at the present period of general depression, might
not find a demand adequate to its expense, added to the conviction
that a slight curtailment and re-arrangement of the original Work
might be made, so as to render an abridgment scarcely less useful
to the man of science, and perhaps more interesting to the public
in general, has induced a departure from this original intention.
The French work contains five volumes, two of them in as many
distioct parts, and upwards of three hundred plates; a large num-
bor of which are double, so as to render the expenseof re-engraving
arty equal to five hundred quarto plates. A complete English
,%inslation, with all these engravings, could not be published under
front twenty to five and twenty pounds; It is therefore proposed,
by a slight abridgment and partial re-arrangement of the matter,
aid a reduction of about one half the plates, to publish an English
Version of the Work quarterly, in eight Numbers, at twenty-four
shillings each.
