The Statesman.

There was at this time a cry frorit the crowd of
" Bob Newman ;" but no other person haring come
forward, the names of Mr. Byog and Mr. Mellish
were accordingly proposed, and on a chew of hands
being taken, they were declared by the Sheriffs ens,-
nimously elected.
Mr. Hyna then addressed the Meetings He tp.

peered before them to return his heartfelt thanks
for their having returned him as their Representative
in Parliament the sixth time. During the .five Patna*
ments in which he had had the honour of representing
them, if he had not manifested as much ability as
others, in the zeal and fidelity with which he had
acted he would yield to no man whomsoever. He
felt conscious, that in this period of 2 years, he
had never, in one single instance, deviated from those
principles and professions which had first recom.
meuded Mm to their support. He had always look-
ed on the duty of a Member of Parliament as a sacred
trust delegated to him for the good of the people,
and not for his own private advantage; and he con-
sidered the man who accepted of a trust only to be.
tray the rights of those who confides' in him, as more
a •criminal than any of the malefactors who daily
suffer in the metropolis. If during the latter part of
his political life, it had been his fate to be in opposi.
tion to his Majesty's Ministers, that opposition, he
would say, had not proceeded from factious motivet
or private feelings of hostility, but from an abhor.

had now been pursued for so many years.-1.4.
plause.l—For himself they would find him always •
a steady opponent of that system, and an anxious
and sincere advocate for that great and important
national benefit, Parliamentary Reform.--[Load
and continued applause.]
Mr. Mamma appeared on the front of the hos-
• tinge, but for a considerable time he could not he
heard.—" Gentlemen, if you will hear me I will
speak."—[liesr kin I hear hies !]—lle returned
them his sincere thanks for the honour which had
, been done him in having been now returned for the
third time as their Representative ia Parliament.—
' They might rest assured that it was an honour which
would never be erased from the tablet of his memory.
lie hoped for their continued approbation, which he
should ever consider is the seal of his public con-
duct ; and he hoped they felt fully convinced that
I he had fulfilled the promises which he bed made them
at his last election. Whether he voted with the Mi.
'sister, or against him, he could truly my he hak.
fulfilled his duty to his own conscience—{Ye ern
applause.]—and that he had never had any other Imo.
tire but the interest of this county and the Empire
at large. With respect to the private business of the
House of Commons, he would appeal to every man
that heard him, whether he had not paid the utmost
attention to their applications, and fulfilled Ms duty
faithfully and honestly. On your electing me for
the third time, I should only degrade and disgrace
myself if I were to say that my future conduct would
not be founded on the same principles as my past.—
He would, therefore, only promise them that fie
should tread in the very same path, and proceed dit
ligently and honestly, as he had dope hitherto.
' Thauks were then voted to the Sheriffs, after which
the Meeting broke up.
The new Members were afterwards chaired, and
we understand that Mr. Mellish, in his progress)
was occasionally pelted with mud.

rough continues, and the hope of Mr: Burdett's
friends appear to rest on the possibility of making
the Christ Church and Clink Liberty votes valid.—
With the latter, it is supposed, they may have a ma-
jority over Mr. 'Thornton. Last night at the close
of the Poll the numbers were declared

SURKEY.—Yesterday being the day fixed for the
Election of two Members, to represent the County
of Surrey in Parliament, the County Hall of Guild.%
ford wu crowded by ten o'clock. The writ having
been read, Mr. H. Sumner was proposed by Mr.
Trotter, and the proposition was seconded by Mr.
Molineux; Sir S. Sutton was proposed and seconded
by Lord Cranley and Sir John Frederick ' • and Sir
T. Turton was nominated and seconded by Sir John
Mawbey and Sir Mark Wood. The several Candi.
dates then addressed the Electors assembled ; and
after some observations from Mr. Hare Townsend,
who expressed his determination to support Mr.
Sumner against Sir Thomas Turton.—The Sheriff
proceeded to take the sense of the assemblage of
Electors present respecting the Candidates. The
show of hands was announced to be greatly in favour
of Mr. Sumner and Sir S. Sutton, when Sir Thomas
Turton demanded a poll.

We are really glad to find that our late Member,
Mr. FuLaza, has yielded to the dictates of common
sense, and become sensible of his inability to con.
duct the bushiest of his constituents in Parliament,
even as himself could wish. Were it not for the ex-
traordinary merit he has thus unexpectedly displayed
in renouncieg, with so good a reason, a situation
which every body, long since, must have been per.
waded of his incompetency to lA, we should deem
it ear duty to teaks a serious appeal to the sober un-
derstanding of the freeholders of Sussex ; but, as it
it, we beg leave to dismiss the subject, heartily
thanking ma FuLaxa" for his wise determina-
tion, and •sincerely hoping that he will be more for-
taws in his astronomical, than he has been in his
political, pursuits:--(Brighton Herald.)
A melancholy accident Happened to lad of the
name of Garbutt, an inhabitant of Brighton, on the
Beach, on Saturday. He was standing by the side
of one boat, observing another dragged from the
Water's edge,• on slides, beyond the reach of the
tide. As the latter came en a parrallelline with the
one he wail leaning against, it suddenly lurched over,
caught the head of the youth between the sides of the
two, and crashed it in the most dreadful manner.—.
He still survives, but the skull is so serenely frac.
tend, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Two workmen, who were lately empleyedin mak-
ing a sewer to a boatels' thereburbs of Montmartre,
In Paris, discovered last mouth, at the depth of ifo
feet, a small trunk coutainiug 3000 lonia, 153 X)
pevials, and a quantity of Sellifeati. They are sap.
polled to bass been secreted at the period of the Rev
!volution.
