PIiEEDOM'OF ELECTION.

A•reeent and well-known transaction tehitHe tif
the Borough of Granthims tiny be selected tis one
of the West perfect and convincing specimens of th 4
nature Of that prdetical Constitution, Abe
.prdibes of
which are sounded out from so teeny interested
mouths. The. good burgesses of Grantham hoe,
by law, the right of choosing two perisens to. relireseet
their interests in the Commens House of Parlfituseet;..
But the Duke of Rutland, who sits lb the House (-.f"P-
Lords, has stied the good people of Gristtifile Sl!e' •
trouble of choosing for themselves, by eommenei:ig
themfutider pain of his high displeasure, to elect ae-
cording to his nomlnatioti. It is clear that the two.
representatives for Grantham, as they are pro
forma called, are, In tact, the representatives of
the Duke of autlend.---,--Sir William. Matinerss
however, a neighbburing gentleman, thinks he has
as good a right to be represented as his Creep, but
as his interest in Grantham, that is to say, his power
over it, is not so great as the Poke's, he was obliged
to proceed another way to work than by opposition
at the election. The Duke of Rutlaid is a great
fox-hunter, and his hounds, which are very cele:
brated, must necessarily pass over Sir William's
estates, as they lie in the centre of the hunt. This
the Baronet had a right to put a stop to, Red in
fact did put a stop to, by bringing fictions against
his Grace, which were decided in the Plaintiff's favour
at the last Lincoln Assizes. The Doke, it appears,
well knew the motive of these actions and
compromise has been entered 'into, according to
which a share in the votes of Grantham is bar-
tered for the pricitege of fox-hunting ! This is the
practical Constitution, in support of whichore are
called upon to spend our property and shed our
blood ! The elective franchises of the people of Grans
them have been, without any reference to their wills
given up, like so much possessed value, to procure
the Duke of Rutlal.,l a favourite amusement !
At present, they are represented by two ministerial
Members, his Grace's politics being ministerial ; but
is the next Parliament, it is probable they will be
represented by at least one Opposition Members
for Sir William is an Oppositionist. Still, however,
they will be represented, and we have an excelleut
and free Government, and they are all Jacobins who
say to the contrary.

A Commission of a a singular kind has been sent
out to Jersey, to examine into the records, and to re-
form the Constitution of that Island.
It is certainly one of the most eligible prerogatives
of art, to tarnish over and disguise the defects and
decays of nature. As the original Inventor and only
Proprietor of that truly, useful, sod admirable dis-
covery—Artificial Teeth; Mt. De CHEMANT, Sur-
geon and Dentist, confessedly stands pre-eminent
among the higher circles, for the display of his ex-
traordinary ability in repairing the damages made by
time or accident, on the choicest natural ornament
of youth, health, and beauty, the Teeth, which he
can replace, from a single one to st whole set, in so
ingenioas a manner as to deceive the most curious
observer, and which operation tiot only preserves
the powers of speech, and beauty of appearance,
but answers every .purpose of mastication. It is
worthy of remark, that this celebrated Dentist rilft•
nufactures his Artificial Teeth from a prepared mi-
neral substance, entirely free from taste or smell,
which mast render them unobjectionable even to the
most delicate; and particularly so, as he he can fix
them in without the least injury to the mouth by
pain or irritation. We understand the decided su-
periority of Mr. Ds CatitArrr in the above astonish.
ng art, has been sanctioned by the first 'Surgeons
tad Medical Professors in Europe.
