316 To the ELECTORS of the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX. Gentlemen, TH E sudden and unexpected dissolution of Parliament Lai imposed upon you the duty cf electing tso members to represent your interests in the House of Ct =mons. _ Encouraged by numerous assurances of support, I venture to offer myself as &candidate for yuur suffrages at the approacbing election. I should not have presumed to aspire to the high honour of representing the metropolitan county in Parliament, had I not already had some experience of the business of the House of C immons, and felt that my immediate connection with the comity gave me some additional claim to your confidence. Since Pitt to the present time, with one interval, I have had the honour of a seat in Parliament, and I can appeal with con e 'coca to my votes in the "louse of Commons to show that I hive never swerved from the groat Conservative principles I pledged myself to maintain. I understand by Conservative pri•ciples, not only preserving the integrity of our institutions, but upholding the honour of th British name abroad; and that, not by an aggressive policy wh ch tends to place Foreign Powers in au attitude of suspicion, if not of hostility, but by exhibiting on all occasions that justice and moderation watch are as much the real strength of this country as i a deem and armies. It was because I could n , t discern that justice and moderation in the transactions, the approval of which by her Majr..sty's Go• vernment led to the present dissolution, that I voted with the mtjority, cn I not because 1 hail entered into a coalition to over throw the existing Adtninistraron. I need not dwell upon that charge, as, if ever seriously made, it has been, and on Iwo separate occasions, dtstmetty disavowed, and by no less an mthority than the Presluent of the Council iu his piece in the Howe t t Lords. Pt rmit, me flintier to observe, that by Gonservadive principles 1 also understand the firm upholding of the Church of Fug and as the great Prolestant imlwark of Christianity, without inter f :risme with the rights of conscience of those who dissent from the communion. With this conviction I have recorded my votes against the en dowment of the coil, ge of Maynooth, as well as measures having a tendency to infringe on the flue observance of the Sabbath. Possing to subjects of prospective legislation, l consider the reform of abuses and the removal of grievances as among the articles of a Conservative creed, and I hold as a maxim never to be lust eight of, that sooner or later social and political wrongs must be reformed, and that if allowed to accumulate, they cannot be redressed without danger to the State and injury to individual intareo. r adi'y admit that Lord Palmerston deserves well of the coui,Lry Mr having prosecuted the late war with vigour. and brought it to a eucceestul Acting upon this conviction, I have, during the pr. gres- of thos3 events, given him a distinte rested and unirtrlgnig support. Should Ibe so fortunate as to be chosen your representative, I shall not allow mere party can. e!derations to actuate me in giving or withholding my assent to measures he may bring forward; but I cannot allow that m return for the energy he displayed in the conduct of thewar with Russia. he is emit ed to that pledge of blind and unlimited con fidence which his personal adherents claim for him. If e u tied to serve you in the House of Commons, I wish to 1 0 here unlettered, free to give my vote to any Administration twat will carry on the government of this great country, by maintaining peace abroad, reducing expendkure at home, and will apply themselves sedulous y, resolutely, and without delay to the task, in many respects too long neglected, of improving the moral. religious, and social condition of all, but especially of the more helpless classes of the community in her Majesty's dominions. I should not have required the somewhat tardy avowal made by the secretary of the Admiralty in the valedictory address he has just asued to you, to con , ,ince me that the dudes of a Government office are incompatible with the representation of a metropolitan county, and this advantage, at least, I shall have over Mr. Osborne, if you do me the honour to elect me, that I shall have my whole time to devote to the care of your local in• tereata, and 1 can sincerely assure you that all that time and all My energies will be at your service I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, CHELSEA.

Gentlemen, A PRLIAMENT having been dissolved, the I duty of electing your Representatives in the house of Commons has again devolved upon you. In compliance with the wishes of several influential inhabi tants of your town, I venture to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages. Having acted with the great Conservative Party during the whole period that I had the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, it is only necessary for me to say that my political opinions remain unchanged. I will, to the best of my ability, uphold the Institutions of the country, especially those which guard the Protestant religion, but at the same time I tadl nut refuse to consider any measure which may have for its object their improvement, without ina• pairing the principles on w.lch they are based. I ant earnestly desirous that a sound practical education, founded on religion, should be placed within the reach of all, aid I will give my support to any one who shall attempt to carry these views into effect. Having only recently returned from abroad, and not having had access to any of the public documents on the question of the War with China, I have been unable to form an opinion as to the propriety of the late vote, which has resulted in this Dissolution, but finding that we are involved in hostilities with a Foreign Power, I will cordially support every endeavour to bring them to an bon...urahle conclusion. I regret that my recent return to this country has prevented me from presenting myself to you at an earlier period, but I will endeavour to make myself known to as many of you as the short remaining time will permit. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, W. FOERI6S MACKENZIE. London, March 26th, 1857. Tit. the FREE and INDEPENDENT ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of LYME REGIS. Gentlemen, IDIRLIAMENT being dissolved, I venture to offer myself for the honour of representing your Borough. If elected I shell always endeavour to support the Protestant Institutions of the Country, but at the same tame to allow tne utmost religious liberty to all sects. With regard to the Income Tax, I am of opinion that It is unjust and inquisitorial in its nature, and that except in time of war or under circumstances of great emergency it ought never to be resorted to; 1 shall therefore use my best endeavours to procure its abolition at the earliest possible period consistent with maintaining the establishments of the country in an effi cient state. The country being now unfortunately at war, I would give my best support to any measures calculated to bring that war to a successful and honourable termitiatioo. I shall always endeavour, if honoured by your choice, to merit the confidence reposed in me by vigilantly watching over the local interests of the town and neighbourhood. 1 shall take an early opportunity of making myself personally known to the Electors of your Borough. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Tour obedient servant, THOMAS GEORGE HESKETH. London, March 25th,1857. ELECTORS of the UNITED KINGDOM, — You are asked, while you uphold the Church of England, to abolish Church-rates. The Committee of Laymen, at the present crisis, teel it their duty to bring the following facts and reasons before you : I. The loss of annual revenue by the abolition of Church-rates may be estimated at 330,0001. It is said that this may be made up by voluntary contributions. Experience does not warrant this The chuiches, in parishes dependent on voluntary sup port, are many of them miserably neglected. Whence are now funds to come, especially in country parishes? 2. But why abolish Church-rates? The answer of our op ponents is—Because so many parishes object to levy them. But observe, there are about 13.000 parishes in Ern s land and Wales. Returns recently rnade to Parliament from 9,420 parishes show that out of that number 8,274 have not refused, and continue to collect the rate; only 115 refuge it.* If, therefore, in ninety-tive out of every hundred parishes the rate is collected, are eight thousand parishes to be despoiled because four hundred parishes in England and Wales refuse? Is this reasonable or just? 3. It is asked, Why not, for the sake of peace. give up Church rates? Our reply is—Because we must make provision for the religious worship of those who cannot provide it for themselves. But we cannot have public worship without churches, nor the ordinances of religion without surticient provision for them. If the object be to overthrow the Established Church, let thatobj et he avowed. If the Church is to be upheld, Church-rates should continue. On behalf of the Committee of Laymen, JOHN M. K NUTT, Honorary Secretary. le, Mancheater•buildings, Westminster, March 13, 1657. • Of the remaining parishes, 287 have estates or other sources of support; 298—many of them town•parishes—are maintained by various expedients, until this law is made effective. In a few parishes, rates are only partially collected; while some who had formerly refused have subsequently granted the rate; 125 con sist of replies difficult to understand. If, among Lil. 3 remaining 2,500 (from which there are 110 returns), there be any which have refused the rate. it seems scarcely probable that a return of the fact would have been neglected. 111 T EET H ; By her Majesty's Royal Lette r s PATENT. THE PATENT PNEUMATIC PALATE, for the Construction of Artificial Teeth.—Messrs.MOGGßlDGE and DAVIS, Surgeon-Dentists to the Royal Family, 13, Old Burlington-street, Bond-street, Patentees of the self-sustaining principle of fixing Artificial Teeth. —TH PNEUMATIC PALATE has excited the greatest admiration of tho moat emi. nent Physicians and Surgeons of England and the principal cities of the Continent, who consiantly favour them with their disiinguished recommendations, and who consider their system to be greatly superior to any in use, as by it the greatest possible firmness and security in the mouth is attained, and the patient enabled to properly perform the important operation of magnet lion, which is mostessential to health. It also renders the ar ticulation clear and distinct, and the unpleasant whistling so long complained of impossible. This to public speakers is in valuable. Messrs. MOGGRIDGE and DAVIS, Surgeon• Dentists to the Rowel Family, No, 13, OLD BURLINGTON STREET, BOND STREET. SATURDAY, To the ELECTORS of the NORTHERN DIVISION of the COUNTY of HANTS. Gentlemen, ADissolution of Parliament being immi nen t , and a Vacancy having been announced in the Representa tion of North Hants, I have been requested and encouraged by numerous friends to offer myself as a Candidate fur the honour of representing you in the house of Commons. 1 am deeply attached to the principles of the Protestant Church of England as by Law established. Without sacrificing my independence, I am prepared to rank myself with the Conservative Party, under the leadership of Lord Derby, believing sincerely that the spirit of true Conifer vetism is su fur from being antagonistic to change, that it is always anxious to redress real grievances, to improve decaying institutions, and to advance the public good by every wise re form which the progress of time may seem to require. It is also through the Conservative Party alone, as I think, that the interests ot the Owners, Occupiers, and Cultivators of the Soil are, or can be, adequately represented. I need scarcely add that those are the interests which I have most at heart. I lament the occurrence of the Chinese War, and think it, on every account, a must unfortunate question on which to have dissolved Parliament, but I do sot believe that any coalition or compact existed amongst those Members of the House of Com mons who formed the Majority against the Goverement. The Mission of a nobleman ot the hizli reputation of Lnrd Elgin as Plenipotentiary to China, and the despatch of reinforcements to protect British lives and interests at Canton, are measures which, in my opinion, deserve the approbation of the country; and if the Ministers had stated previously to the Debate that they were about to take those steps, which imply virtually a distrust in Sir J. Bowring's discretion, I believe that the Conservative Party would not have divided against them. Sure am I that by the Couservettve Party every support will be given to the Go vernment of the day, whatever that Government may be, in car rying on the Chinese or any other War in which the Country may unfortunately be involved. I trust, however, that the day is not far distant when Peace may be restored, and that the House of Commons will be enubled to turn its attention to such measures of economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure as may not be incon sistent with thorough efficiency in the Army and Navy. 1 hope, particularly, to see the Income Tax abolished and the Malt Duty reduced; an Excise upon Mali being, in my opinion, inconsistent with the principles of Free Trade. Should you do we the honour to elect me as your Represen tative,it shall be my earnest endeavour to protect your Inte rests, as well as the true Interests of the Country at large. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, GEO RGE SC LATER. Hoddington-house, Odiliarn, March 18, 1857. To the FREE and INDEPENOENT ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of SHAFTESBURY. Gentlemen eliltuge in Sir Richard Plumptre Glyn's intentions, as set forth in the subjoined letter, puts an end to my chance of having the honour of representing you in Par liament. I therefore feel it to be my duty to retire at once from the contest. It is a great disappointment to me, and it is one to which I certainly ought not to have been exposed. But so it is—and all that now remains for me to do is to thank you most heartily for the kind reception so many of you have given me, and, with every good wish, to bid you farewell. 1 am. Oentlemen, Your most obedient anti obliged servant, HUGH HUME CAMPBELL. Abbey Arms, Shaftesbury, 21st March, 1357. (Copy.) 87, Lombard-street, 20th March, 1857. Dear Sir Hugh, I regret very much to be obliged to ask you to release me from thef pro Mae of my cordial support for the Borough of Shaftesbury, which I made to you on Monday last, in the pre• Bence of Alr. Ker Seymer, but I trust that under the peculiar circumstances of the case you will accede to my request When I made you the promise I did, I was not aware that my nephew intended to offer himself for the Borough, and though I entirely approve of your principles, I cannot bring myself to oppose a member of my own family. I have only to add that the communications you have made to my Agent and Tenants were completely in accordance with what passed between us, and to express my extreme regret at the trouble you have been put to in this matter. You are at perfect liberty to make what use you please of this letter. I remain, Yours faithfully, (signed) R. P. GLYN.
