P-7 EITTER and COMPANY'S NEW PAT T GRAND
L.l PIANO-FORTES.
The Nobility, Gentry, and Public of iverpool and the
neighbourhood are respectfully inform at an Assortment of
the New Patent Grand. and Semi-gra PIANO-FORTES of
Six-and-half Octaves, manufactured by Zeitter and Co. Lon-
don, have arrived at GEORGE THOMSON'S MUSIC
WAREHOUSE, I, GREAT GEORGE-STREET, corner of Upper
Duke-street, •

These Instruments have all the latest improvements, and
have been brought to a state of perfection never yet equalled.
Besides having Wrought Iron String Plates, Wrought Iron
Bracing,s over the Sounding Board, and additional Bar on
and under the front Wrest-- Plank, they have a Sounding
Board, constructed on an entirely new principle, somewhat
similar to that of the Violin, by which the quality of tone is
rendered much more full and equal. Neither climate nor time
can affect its elasticity, nor can the pressure of the Strings
cause it to yield. A Patent has been obtained for this inven-
tion, which is pronounced by the first composers and Pianists
in the kingdom to be the most important improvement ever ap-
plied to Piano-fortes.
It is impossible in the limited space of an Advertisement to
convey an adequate idea of the superiority of these Instruments.
G. THOMSON, therefore, requests au inspection of them, satis-
fied that they only require to be seen to be appreciated.
In addition to these Instruments, G. T. has always on hand a
choice Assortment of Semi-Brands, Cottages, Michrochordons,
Grand and improved Squares, &c. by the most eminent Lon-
don Makers, at moderate prices.
Piano-fortes carefully Repaired and Tuned, taken in Ex-
change, or Sold on Commission.

DEVIZES ELECTION.

We reprint from the second edition of our last number
the following account of the triumvh. of conservatism at
Devizes:—

(From Me Morning Herald of Thursday.)
Devizes, Wednesday, Half-past Eleven.
The polling commenced at eight o'clock this morning,
and notwithstanding the numerous and pressing invita-
tions given to the voters of Mr. Estcourt, to have a day's
shooting, to course, and to dine at some distance from
Devizes, in order to prevent them from polling, they
have remained true to their promises, and placed him at
the head of the poll up to this hour, and there is very
little doubt but he will be in that position at the final
close, the numbers being as under : _ _

Est court.

Dunclas.

At nine o'clock ....... 90
At ten o'clock
• At eleven o'clock
At half-past eleven
(From the Times.)
(By Express.)
Times Office, Six o'clock, Thursday Morning.
After a very severe struggle the conservatives have
gained the day, and Mr. Estcourt has been declared duly
elected to represent this borough in parliament. At four
o'clock the Mayor came upon the hustings and pro-
claimed that the poll had closed, and the choice had fallen
on T. H. S. B. Estcourt, Esq.. of New Park : the num-
bers being—
Estcourt
Dundas 145
Majority —l2

This announcement was received with loud cheers.
Mr. ESTCOURT then came forward, amidst the loudest
cheering, and thanked the electors for their exertions ;
it had, he said, been as good a stiff stand-up fight as ever
had been fought in the King's dominions, and he had
won.

Captain DUNDAS then presented himself, and was
loudly cheered by both parties. He thanked his 'friends
for the support they had given him, and promised to be
shortly among them again.
Three cheers were then given for the Mayor, and the
crowd dispersed.

ConsiderableNgiusement was occasioned in the morn-
ing in consequen7e of the Dundas party having locked a
voter up in a house. The Estcourt party, to whom he
had promised his vote', could not for a lone. time find him ;
but at length the fact was discovered, and a party went
to the house, and it was not until they commenced break-
ing the door down thatiat was opened; they then found
him to be almost stupidly drunk ; he was, however,
brought to the poll, amidst tremendous cheering, and he
voted for Mr. Estcourt.

A respectable voter stated to me to-day that he was
offered 1,20 this morning if he would vote for Captain
D unclas.

- Every effort has been made by the radical party, even
those hiah in power, to obtain this election ; and I am
promised some authenticated facts which will, 1 believe,
show that this election has been considered of the greatest
consequence to the present government.
