Salisbury,
Monday, June 22, 1818.

Wilts Nomination. -- Agreeably to the High Sheriff's appointment the nomination for Knights of the Shire took place on Thursday last, at Devizes. Our readers are already aware that the candidates for the representation of the county are Paul Cobb Methuen, of Corsham Esq. John Benett, of Pythouse, Esq. both in this county, and William Long Wellesley Esq. of Wanstead House, in Essex, and of Draycot House, in this county. Mr.Methuen was proposed by the Hon.Capt.Bouverie, and seconded by E.Joy, Esq.; Mr.Benett was proposed by William Wyndham, Esq. and seconded at the same moment by Thomas Grove, Esq. and Thomas Calley, Esq.; and Mr.Wellesley was proposed by John Long, Esq. and seconded by Captain Bouverie, who, as before observed, had proposed Mr.Methuen. - Mr.Methuen addressed the meeting at considerable length, as did also Mr.Benett and Mr.Wellesley, but so much tumult and uproar prevailed during the addresses of the two latter gentlemen, that their observations could only be partially and at intervals heard.- The High Sheriff went through the business of the day with dignity and ability, and much to the satisfaction of the candidates and a numerous assemblage of company. - The show of hands appeared to the High Sheriff to be nearly equal for each candidate; he therefore declared it impossible to come to any decision, and thereupon adjourned the meeting until the day of Poll, which is fixed for Wednesday next.

It will be seen by an advertisement that our High Sheriff has appointed Wednesday next for electing two Representatives to serve in the next Parliament for this county. From what occurred on the day of nomination at Devizes it is now fully expected that a poll will be demanded by the candidates, and that a severe contest will be the consequence. It is decided that the polling is to take place about three miles from this city on a ground near to the Devizes road, and about a mile from the county town of Wilton. The hustings are already nearly completed, and numerous booths are erecting for the accommodation of the voters and spectators.

The numerous constables, who are to attend during the election, have received strict orders to maintain the peace, and to keep the passages and avenues leading to the polling places clear of obstruction, so that all, persons who have business may pass freely without interruption. They are also ordered strictly to enforce silence at the election, so that the Candidates and their respective friends, who think fit to address the freeholders, may be fairly and impartially heard, and to do their utmost to prevent any confusion that may arise tending to impede the business of the election.

Our readers will perceive, by an advertisement, that the Mayor and Justices of this city have adopted proper precautions for preserving the public peace during the approaching election for the county.

On Friday last a Council was held at our Council-Chamber for the purpose of electing two members to serve for this city in the new Parliament. The usual formalities having been gone through, Mr.Alderman Boucher rose and said, " I beg leave to propose, as one of the Representatives of this City in Parliament, the same Candidate whom I had the honor to propose at the last General Election, and who, having filled that situation in the four last Parliaments, will, I trust, be again returned for the fifth time to represent this City, I mean the Right Hon. William Pleydell Bouverie, commonly called Viscount Folkestone, whose distinguished abilities and close attention to the discharge of his duties in Parliament, are sufficiently well known, and I need not occupy the present time in expatiating on them." Mr.Atkindon seconded Mr.Boucher's motion. Lord Folkstone then addressed the meeting at some length. His Lordship expressed the high gratification he felt at the honour that had already been conferred on him, in having been returned for this City in four successive Parliaments. Most grateful did he feel to those friends whose kind support he had always had, a support continued to him as a member of that family, which had been connected, and whose interests had been identified, with those of this city for more than eighty years. His Lordship then entered into an explanation of his political conduct. It had been objected to him by some of those Gentlemen whose votes he had solicited, that he had on all occasions most pertinaciously opposed the measures of Government. He begged, however, to state distinctly to the Gentlemen now assembled that those who had this impression of his conduct, were in error. It was true that on all grand questions of policy (the most material he would admit) he had differed with his Majesty's Ministers, but that for one measure of theirs which he had opposed, there were at least a hundred which had passed without opposition, either on his part or that of his colleagues. Truly sorry was he if his opinion was at variance with the opinions of those whose approbation above that of all others he was most anxious to secure; but he felt conscious, that during the whole of his political career, he had acted honestly and independently, and he trusted that none of those whom he now had the honour of addressing, would impute to him wrong motives, but would rather applaud him for his independent conduct. He felt that if he were to alter his own sentiments to suit theirs, he would not be entitled to much credit from them; for, if he were to adopt such a line of conduct, little dependence could be placed on him, And he wished that Gentlemen would not attend to what was imputed to him by others, but would afford him an opportunity of giving his own explanation of his conduct. (Here the Noble Lord was supposed to allude to what had been said of him by Mr.Hunt, respecting universal suffrage and annual Parliaments.) In conclusion he said that if he should be so fortunate as to be again the object of their choice, he would discharge his duties most conscientiously, and to the best of his abilities; and the local interests of this city, to which he was so sincerely attached, would on all occasions be the first object or his care.
Mr.Alderman Brown then proposed Wadham Wyndham, Esq. and was seconded by Mr.Tatum. Mr.Wyndham then came forward, and addressed the meeting as follows:
"I have great pride in appearing amongst you as a candidate for the representation of this city, and trust, should I succeed, you will always find me discharging my duty in Parliament most conscientiously."
Lord Folkestone and Mr.Wadham Wyndham were then declared by the Mayor to be duly and unanimously elected. Lord Folkestone returned thanks in a short speech, and Mr.Wyndham spoke to the following effect:
"It is impossible for me to express what I feel on this occasion. The manner in which I have been supported by my numerous friends is truly flattering, and must ever be impressed in my mind with grateful recollection. I hope I shall never give you reason to think me unworthy of the distinguished honor you have now conferred on me, nor be ever found abusing the trust you have reposed in me; and however inferior I may feel myself to many in abilities, I will yield to no man on earth in zeal to serve my constituents."

James Alexander, Esq. and Arthur Johnson Crauford, Esq. were on Wednesday last elected Members for Old Sarum. In lieu of giving a dinner on the occasion, these gentlemen presented to the Salisbury Infirmary a benefaction of ten guineas.

On Friday last the Election for Wilton took place in the Town Hall. Lord Viscount Fitzharris was first proposed by Mr.Seward, who said that his Lordship was too well known to all present to make it necessary for him to do more than simply propose him.
Mr.Hinxman seconded the nomination, and said that he had great pleasure in so doing, from his knowledge of the sound and constitutional principles of his noble friend; indeed, he could not but congratulate the Corporation, that in times like the present (when there prevailed such a strange infatuation of esteeming every thing new and visionary perfect and pure, every thing tried and stable vicious and corrupt) they had it In their power to return to Parliament a man like his noble friend, firmly attached to the existing order of things.
Ralph Sheldon, Esq. was next proposed by the Rev.Mr.Bromley, who paid a handsome tribute to the Hon.Gentleman, whose urbanity of manners and long acquaintance with the inhabitants of Wilton, gave him a peculiar claim on their favour.
Mr.W.Seagrim seconded this nomination.
No other Candidate being proposed, the above Gentlemen were declared by the Mayor duly elected.
Lord Viscount Fitzharris then returned his thanks to the Corporation for the honor they had done him, and in a feeling and energetic speech avowed his attachment to the House of Brunswick, and to our glorious Constitution.
Mr.Sheldon also returned thanks.

On Wednesday last John B.S. Morritt, Esq. and Henry John Shepherd, Esq. (son of his Majesty's Attorney General) were returned Members of Parliament for the borough of Shaftesbury, without opposition; on which occasion a most sumptuous dinner was provided at the Red Lion Inn, by Mr.Shrimton, which gave universal satisfaction.

On Saturday last Lord Viscount Folkestone and the Right Hon. Sir William Scott, Knt. were elected Members for the borough of Downton.
On Thursday last Lord John Thynne and Col.Charles Palmer were unanimously re-elected Members of Parliament for the city of Bath.

The nomination of Members for the county of Somerset takes place this day at Wells, and the election will be proceeded in at llchester on Friday next. W.Dickinson, Esq. and W.G.Langton, Esq. are expected to be re-elected without opposition - It is worthy of notice, however, that a hand-hill has been published, signed by 19 freeholders, residing in the lower part of the county, and calling a meeting at Taunton (to be held on Saturday last) " to take into consideration the propriety of requesting Sir T.B. Lethbridge again to become a Candidate for the Representation of the County." - We have not yet heard the result of the meeting.

Bristol Election commenced on Tuesday last, when Colonel Baillie (notwithstanding his having expressed a decided wish to withdraw from the contest) was put in nomination by his friends. A poll was then commenced, at the close of which on Friday evening, the numbers of votes were as follows: for Mr.Davis 3289, Mr.Protheroe 2184, and Col. Baillie 1646. The Sheriffs gave notice that on Saturday they would cast up the votes and declare who were the elected Members.

Devon County Election.- The nomination of candidates takes place this day, and the election will commence on Thursday; there will be 15 booths erected for polling in Exeter Castle Yard. Judging from appearances, the present will be as arduous a struggle as this or any other county has ever yet witnessed. The friends of all three candidates appear confident of success, and their exertions to ensure it have been unremitting,
The election of Representatives for the city of Exeter commenced last Wednesday, and at the close of Friday's poll the number of votes for Mr.Courtenay were 683; Mr.Newman 602; and Mr.Northmore 273.

The election of Representatives for the county of Dorset will take place at Dorchester, on Wednesday next. W.M.Pitt, and E.B.Portman, Esqrs. are expected to be re-elected without opposition.

On Saturday morning the Marquis Wellesley passed through this city on his way to Sidmouth. At the entrance of the city the populace took his horse from the carriage, and drew it to the Prince Regent's Hotel, where his nephew, Wm.Long Wellesley, Esq. was staying. The meeting of the noble Marquis and this gentleman was truly gratifying; they were loudly cheered by the vast concourse assembled - and the Marquis addressed them in a short but energetic speech, informing them "that he was passing accidentally through the city to a watering place for his health, that he was peculiarly flattered by the unexpected manner in which they had received him; that as a Peer of the realm he could take no part in the approaching Election Contest, but that he could not be insensible to the gratifying attentions which had been paid by the county to one whom he had always regarded as a dutiful and affectionate nephew."

The 3d anniversary of the glorious Battle of Waterloo was celebrated at Frome on Thursday, when a good old English dinner was given by a subscription raised amongst the most respectable inhabitants of that town, to the veterans who belong to the parish of Frome, and who contributed to the success of their country's cause on that memorable day; and many of the most public spirited gentlemen of the town dined with the heroes, and spent the day with the greatest decorum and hilarity. Every demonstration of joy was made in commemoration of the victory; and it was determined by the gentlemen present to use every effort in their power that the day should be annually kept up as a festival for the time to come. The surplus of the money subscribed (which is very handsome) will be distributed amongst the wives and families of the men, and the widows and orphans of those who fell in the battle. It is to be hoped this plan will be adopted in every town in the empire.

He has left a widow, two sons, and a daughter, to lament his loss, and imitate his virtue's. His remains were interred on Wednesday in the parish church of Rurrington, near his mansion of Langford Court; they were attended to the grave by his affectionate brother, Viscount Sidmouth, and his two son.

LONDON Patent Improved Oval
Shape Beaver Hats, warranted to
retain their Shape. - NATHANIEL DANDO and Co.
Hat-Manufacturers,
original Inventors, and only Makers of

the Improved Oval Shape Beaver Hat, deem it necessary, in consequence of the various attempts made to imitate their Hats, to announce, that Merchants and the Trade can be supplied with the Improved Oval Shape Beaver Hat; only by Messrs.Nathaniel Dando and Co. London; and in Salisbury, by Messrs.WHEELERS, Hat-Makers and Hosiers - Mr.Eilyett is appointed sole Agent for Southampton; Mr.Hodges, for Blandford; and Mr.Stroud for Poole.

A brief explanation of the superiority of the Improved Oval Shape Beaver Hat to the common Hat.-The natural shape of the common Hat, from its being made on perfectly round block, and brought to the oval shape of the head by the hands and the use of a screw, is liable by wear, or when exposed to the damp or rain, to get soft, flap in the brim, and return to its natural round form; thus losing its shape by its being artificially produced --The Improved Oval Shape Beaver Hat, being manufactured and finished upon all oval block, made to the exact shape of the head (most of which are from one inch to one inch and a halfoval), will not lose its shape, not being artificially produced with the hands and screw, as is the case with the common Hat; but manufactured from its first state in the shape required to be worn, nor is it liable to be affected by damp or rain.
