TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. GENTLEMEN, —The old Parliament is dis solved—a new one is to be constructed—and you are nuw called upon to exercise the high and important privilege of selec;ing the representatives of the greatest city in the world. We venture to plac3 our names on the list ot com petitors for your sufrragys, or rather for a renewal or eon tinustlon of them ; for we have this advantage over many c indidates that we do not come before you as strangers. Our exertions in your interests during a long series of years arc not unknown, nor have they been unrewarded. We are old and tried Reformers. Grieved to b:hold our fellow-citimns outrageously overtaxed, we introduced a new system, and raised the cry of "ECONOMY AND EXCELLENCX IN APPY COMBINATION." We have most earnest;v opposed and condemned all exo, bi tent claims upon the publfc purse, setting an example to others in the extreme modera tion ot every Bill presented by ourselves. Thus not a single Bill so presented has ever been objected to, or rejected, or amended. We have never disappointed our constituents— we have never violated oar pledges• —we have never neoleeted our duty. The improving state of our revenue from the con tinued and 'messed prosperity of our cammerzial relatio s, justifies us in promising to give our best consideration to the possibility of still farther retrenchmen s of all de,tiands upon the incomes of our constituents. We are advocates for an e ttension of the suffrage, not "laterally" only, but in all directions. Our constituency has always been remarkably extensive—the largest in the king dom—but we have no objec:lon whatever to see it multiplied to any extet.t, aud amongst all classes. We ever iden i y our own interests with those, f the richest and the poorest of eur fell w-countrymen, and arc ready to work for all alike—for both sexcs and for all ages. We have continued to satisfy all parties without addrecsing ourselves exc:usively to any. With the expression of these principles. opi .ions. and pro nii.o4, and with the most grateful sense of past favours, we have the honour to remain, GENTLEMEN, Your laithtui ani obcd:ent Fervants, E.

There are some cases in which a happy audacity attains a success which never could have been reached by common prudence and caution. The attempt of a young and untried politician to dis place a gentleman of character and position, who has for years represented one of the most important of our manufacturingtowns, can hardly be regarded as otherwise than presumptuous. Lord AMBERLEY has, it is true, his father's reputation to fall back upon, but, unluckily, between his " rest and be thankful" Reform doctrine, and his " meddling and muddling" foreign policy, Lord RUSSELL is not just now a very Popular hero. What especial claim Lord AMBERLEY considered that he had upon the electors of Leeds it is not very easy to determine, and Yorkshiremen are not always the most easy to deal with. They are particularly amenable to smooth words and fair promises, if the youthful scion of the Whigs relied upon such aid. He cer tainly endeavoured to adapt himself to his company in his preliminary visit a month or two ago, but the effort to swim with the tide was too transparent. A young gentleman so very open to conviction might, it was felt, be equally susceptible to argu ments on the other side, when a fresh turn in politics sent Radicalism out of fashion. The heir of the House of RUS:.;ELL proved himself an adept in the traditional policy of his race, and the courage which induced him to attack such a constituency as Leech was no less representative of a true Whig of the present day than the zeal for reform and for civil and religious liberty which he professed was typical of the older school. The audacity of the present race equals their ingratitude ; perhaps, in deed, the shortness of their political memory increases their valour, for they seem to think that the public will forget their pledges as rapidly as they do them selves. No one can bring the charge of broken promises against Lord AMBERLET at the outset of a , political career which, we hope, may prove honour- able to himself and useful to his country ; and there are no old grievances to avenge in his defeat, but, nevertheless, in spite of his candid profession of the more advanced principles of his party, in spite of the friendly advocacy of Mr. BAINES, in spite of the fact that he is nearly connected with one of the acknowledged leaders of the Whigs, Lord AMBER LEY'S name was third on the list of candidates. All that he was to accomplish in the new Parliament, therefore, must be deferred to a more auspicious occasion ; and if he and his father have not profited by the lesson taught them at Leeds, is is to be hoped that the other members of the party will take the hint. Lord AMBERLEY must learn to rely on himself, and not to boast of the triumphs of the past triumphs in which he had no share, and which the accident of birth gives him no right to profit by. The were advocacy of extreme doctrines gives him no right to demand the suffrages of an important con stituency, and a less arrogant and confident tone would better become the new re cruit in his next campaign. The canvas of Mr. GLADSTONE, junior, for Chester, has been more successful, perhaps, beause the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is a more popular man than the Fcreign Secretary—perhaps because the young aspirant for admission to the Parliamentary arena was less of a doctrinaire. Turning from the unsuccessful candidate of Leeds to the unopposed candidate for Droitwich, WC find Sir JOHN PAKINGTON addressing his old constituents with his usual straightforwardness, moderation, and good sense. With regard to the great question of Reform, which, unlike some of his friends and rivals, he did not shrink from discussing, he frankly declined to pledge himself to any parti cular measure or to any particular course. It was, he said, a very difficult and important question, and so far from its being a party measure the right hon. baronet observed that he shou l 'l like to see it calmly deliberated on by a committee of the privy Council, drawn from both sides. Lord GREY, in his recent work, remarks that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for either of the great parties to settle the question, and the proposal which Sir JOHN PAKINGTON supported was originated by the noble lord. Sir JOHN calls him one of the most able as well as one of the most honest statesmen of the day, and certainly if any one possesses an hereditary right to discuss the subject, it is the son of the great Reformer who presided over the measure of 1832. While the lapse of years has rendered some changes and additions necessary since the passing of the Reform Bill, experience has also shown in what it was deficient. It would be of course impossible to render any measure absolutely perfect, and the test of practical working must always be applied before it can create general confidence. More especially is this the case when a great change has to be carried out in the midst of a great political tumult, when every step of the way has to be fought inch by inch, and all the vehemence of party feeling is carried into a matter requiring grave and earnest deliberation. It is only wonder ful that the statesmen and reformers of 1832 ac complished so much as they did. If their bill did not go far enough to need no additions, at least they kept on the safe and prudent side, and have had to take no retrogressive steps. Sir Jolly PAKINGTON, whom we may, it is to be hoped, look upon as the organ of his party, confesses his conviction that the time is not distant when the public voice will require some revision of the Act of 1832 ; and he also expresses his hope that, though no measure of the sort can be absolutely final, the new Reform Bill may be framed in so wise and enlightened a manner that it shall place the representation of England on a satisfactory footing for a long period to come. In this hope all true Reformers mus cordially join. General PEEL'S speech at Huntingdon is well worthy of attention. It was the twelfth time that he had had to return thanks to the electors for re turning him as their representative in the House of Commons. The gallant General remarked that there was something unusual in.the present dissolu tion, for, on ordinary occasions, such an event followed upon an adverse vote to the Ministerial policy, or in consequence of some great question of the day being unsettled. This Parliament has nearly reached its legitimate end, and the chief plea on which many rest their appeals to the constituencies is the plea that they are supporters of Lord PAL MERSTON. Upon this notion General PEEL very wisely determined .to inquire into the merits of the Government. In fulfilling this rather invidious task he proinised to guard against personalities, and he kept his pledge. There was great truth in his primary assertion that if ever a Government were pledged to anything, the present Government was pledged to bring in a more extensive measure of Reform than their predecessors. Yet they showed great distaste and indifference in performing the task, "and the very men who turned out their predeces sorsbecause they would not go far enough were them selves content to go no further than the Treasury bench, and there to " rest and be thankful." When the episode of Reform was over this acute Govern ment discovered a new claim that they had on the gratitude of. the country, and began to extol their foreign policy. General PEEL took a very good illustration of the . merits of this part of the official programme .by referring to the debate which took place on the subject last year. Every member who took part in the discussion condemned the foreign policy which the Government had deemed it right to pursue. There is a sad truth in this opinion of the General's regarding that epoch—" The time would-come, however we might now attempt to forget - it, when the events of 1863-4 would be writtenl in the paicii - of history, and those pages would bring.a blush to the cheek of every English man who should read the record." The naval and military establishments of the country do not re dound much more• to the credit of Ministers than other matters, for during the six years that the pre sent Government have been in office more has been spent on these two services than in any period of peace in our history. Such is not a very creditable exposition of facts, and the members of the Govern ment have not much to plume themselves upon i n regard to it.' • General PEEL was able to refer to some valuable services that the late Administration rendered the country in. introducing improvements that the necessities of the time required, and that the rapid development of the resources of other Conspicu ous n ations rendered it necessary f or us to inaugurate. anaoitg these were the building of armour-plated shim the introduction of rifled guns, and the acceptance of the services of Volun teers. These are indeed lasting and important works, and reflect great credit o n the skill and dis cernment of those who approved of them. Now that these are recognised things, it is very inge nious for all present Ministers to appropri a t e to themselves the merit of them, but people who tak e the trouble to look into the records of the past in stead of taking everything on trust from the powers that be, will find that much praise is claimed for what is not really their doings, or at all events that they did not originate but follow in the tract indicated by their predecessors. As regards the demi-god of the Administration, the far-famed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gen PEEL was venturesome enough to criticise him, and to remark that though he gave him credit for being an excellent financier, and admitted his budgets to be good, he considered that more money was now taken from the pockets of the people than when this Govermnent took office. The chief reduction in expenditure has been in that " extra expenditure" that the Chan cellor and his colleagues incurred with one thing and another. There is sound sense in the criticism of the General respecting the manner in which the other offices of the Administration were filled. lie said there was nothing which raised the Govern ment above mediocrity, and, " from the Lord Chan cellor downward, he did not think that there was anything to raise them above the ordinary charac ter of English administrators." It is a great dis credit to a government when a political opponent is able to declare, as General PEEL did, that he defied any of the supporters of the Ministers to de fine the fixture policy of the Government, or to pre dict anything that they would be lilkely to do, except to follow any course which for the moment was in the ascendant. They have, in truth, nothing definite or decided in view, but trade or the acci dents and occurrences of the hour, and then defy any one to outdo them in wit or wisdom. General PEEL observed, with great accuracy, that " there were some questions on which the country so unequivocally expressed its opinion that, no matter who might be the Ministers of the day, it would be impossible to oppose that decision." After expressing a conviction that the old do nothing policy would not do in the next Parliament, the gallant General went on to consider the pro bable changes that might be made. Concerning the extreme alterations which some proposed, he assured his hearers that there was as much danger in having the advanced guard too much in front of the main body as in having the rear guard too much behind. This warning may be of service to some sapient individuals who have neither method nor moderation in their mad desire for change at any cost. The General is in favour of an extension of the franchise, and, in giving his opinion, he de clared that he spoke as a member of a Government that had brought in a Reform Bill. He trusted that the more dignified term of " lateral franchises' would bring more favour than the old one of fancy , franchises." He amusingly illustrated the notion of the new members for Westminster that every one who could work a sum in arithmetic should be ad mitted to the franchise. " Now," said Gene ral PEEL, " I imagine all of them with slates and pencils prepared to answer some such questions as this : "If the value of the 15,000 th part of the right to return a metropolitan member is so much, what would be the value of a similar right to return all the metropolitan members." On the whole this was a very successful speech, and General PEEL showed the advantage possessed by the Conservative candidates over their opponents of being able to critise the past without reproach, and look to the future without fear. Broken promises and wasted opportunities rise up in judgment against those who endeavour to prop up a Ministry that has failed to secure public confidence, and has not rendered any service to the country at all com mensurate with its professions when it forced itsel f into power. • rHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1865. Boyal Dramatic College Fete.---This Day. The annual fete and fancy fair in aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College commenced to-day at the Crystal Palace, and certainly the weather was all that could be desired. Although the hour set for the opening of the fete was 12 o'clock, long before that time numbers of ladies and gentlemen, whose faces were familiar to thousands of the metro polis, might be seen strolling along the greensward previous to their taking up their positions either as showmen, actors, or money-takers at the various booths which was to compose the fair. Amongst the ladies whose talents were this day exerted in the " art of selling," were first and fore most our own native and unapproachable comedienne Mrs. Stirling, Mrs. Alfred Mellon, Miss Amy Sedgwick, Mrs. Howard Paul, Miss M. Simpson, Miss Elsworthy, Mrs. Billington, Miss Lavene, Miss K. Hickson, Miss H. Simms, Miss L. Thompson, the Misses Pelham, Miss A. Burdett, &c. At twelve o'clock our old frigid, M. R. Romer, appeared as the Herald of the College, and opened the fair with the following proclamation : Proclamatio Regii Collegii Dramatici Perils Annuls Agen dis prEedicta, Manse Julii xv., PRI3IUM. Be it proclaimed, on the Queen our Sovereign Lady's behalf, that every person, of what state, degree, or condition that ho or she bo of, having recourse to this Fair, keep the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. ITEM. That in all cases, where it shall come within the knowledge of the Master and %Wardens, that any person or persons, whatever sex they be of, shall have perversely, wilfully, or without good cause absented themselves from the Fair, then such person or persons shall make a forfeit of one guinea, and the Secretary shall answer thereto under the title of Nummus Populorum Absentium. ITEM. That no party nor parties, within the precincts of this fair, shall take upon themselves to make any man ner of assignation, attachment, or betrothment with any " Woman in Mauve," or White, or Black, or Red, or any other woman in and of any other colour, unless it be done in the presence and with the consent of the Master, Deputy- Master, or one of the Wardens of the Royal Dramatic College ; in contempt thereof, it shall be lawful for the Master and Wardens in solemn Council assembled to make a forfeit of one guinea on every such person so offending, and the secretary shall answer thereto under the title of Nummus Adolescentis Perviridis. ITEm. That all female vendors of merchandise, fancy ware, and other goods, having booths or stalls at said fair, are hereby empower e d an d authorised by the Master an d Wardens in solemn Council assembled, without let or hindrance, to ply their calling in such manner, suasion, art, or fashion, as shall obtain from the buyers at the said booths and stalls a large exchange in money for such mer chandise, fancy wares, and other goods ; and it shall be lawful, as also the duty of such female vendors to arrest and detain for barter and merchandise all bachelors of kindly look and easy means, and there and then, in such restraint, to use all lawful arts and wiles to lure from them the said bachelors such superfluous coins of the realm as they may then and there possess. ITEM. That it shall not be lawful for cosherers, or idle, purposeless varlets and wanderers going from stall to stall without making purchases, to linger within the, precincts of this fair. All such cosherers, together with all blue-devils, megrims, vapours, head-aches, and all and every description thereof, are hereby required to abjure the Real during the continuance and duration of this said fair. Posnomo. It shall be lawful for the Master and War dens in solemn Council assembled, by and with the consent of such person or persons,:who may have wilfully or other wise infringed the edicts of this their Proclamation, to cause punishment to be inflicted by the fine of a sum of ten guineas, or more, and the Secretary shall answer thereto under the title of Nummus Laterculorum Jocularium. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. It is needless to say the reading of the above produced shouts of laughter, and immediately afterwards the "fun of the fair" commenced by the opening of Richardson's Show, with a new and ori ginal drama in five shudders, entitled " The Smug gler's Doom ; or, The Sailor, the Syren, and the Secret," written expressly for the occasion by Mr. Nelson Lee. The artistes engaged in the perfor mance were Mr. T. Thorne, Mr. F. Robson, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. J. Clarke, and Mr. R. Atkins. The patronisers of the first performance were exceedingly numerous, and a better com mencement to a jovial and pleasant day could not have been devised. Buckstone and Sothern seemed to be driving a good trade with their " Aunt Sally," whilst Wombwell's Menagerie, and the " Ri-Toole-i-o-Rama" poetry, painting, and music, and dissolving views described by Mr. Toole, of the Adelphi, and his " boy," Paul Bed ford, came in for the most extensive patronage. The ladies' stalls were exceedingly beautiful and attractive, and no doubt the fair vendors will net a large sum for the benefit of the College.

The authorities, it is stated, have agreed to employ Calcraft, as usual, the long experience of that official making him the one in rlacln moat confidence can be placed.

The result cannot be deemed discouraging to Conservatives, when the vast efforts made by an unscru pulous Government, and the enormous influence it could necessarily bring to bear on the constituencies, are taken into consideration. Nor must it be forgotten that even this very slight gain is more than likely to result in a consider able loss on the petitions, which, wo are assured, will on this occasion be far more numerous than in 1859, when some ton or twelve Liberal seats, gained by bribery and in timidation, reverted to the Conservatives.

Gentlemen,—l have the honour to inform you that the Royal Commissioners are prepared to re ceive a written memorandum from any officer now in England setting forth his own individual griev ances with the names of any witnesses ho may wish to bring forward in support of his complaints. The points to which each officer must confine himself are the following :- 1. The suppression in army rank to which he has been subjected by officers joining the staff corps, or by the action of the brevet rank given to remedy such sup pression. 2. The reduction in the number of regimental lieutenant colonels by making promotion in succession to one-half only of the officers of that rank who accepted special annuities in 18G1. 3. The regulation by which 12 years is made the period of service in the grade of lieutenant-colonel. 4th. The arrangements for regulating promotion of colonels of artillery and engineers, subsequent to the 17th of February, 1861, to the rank of general officer. These memoranda should be addressed to Colonel Crewe, Secretary to Royal Commission, Cannon row, London, S.W.—I hive the honour to be, gen tlemen, your most obedient servant, CHAS. FRED. NORTH, Major-General, Chairman of Committee acting for Indian Officers. 3A, King-street, St. James's-square, 13th July, 1865. MR. AND MRS. KEAN IN AMERICA.—The St• Louis Democrat says :—This evening closes the most brilliant engagement ever fulfilled4n St. Louis. Not withstanding tho announcement of doubling the prices of admission upon the opening of the box-office, upwards of 200 seats were secured for the five performances, and the demand for separate nights was so great that many per sons were disappointed in securing places. Crowded and fashionable audiences have enjoyed the great intellec tual treat, whose enthusiastic warmth of admiration for these distinguished artistes quite equalled the over powering heat of the weather. None but the Koans could attract such crowds at this season of the year. All the entertainments have been good —we have not space to particularise. Mr. aul Mrs. Kean have fully sustained the high reput a ti on they enjoy. " It's long ere we shall look upon their like again." They have been admirably supported by Miss Chapman, Messrs. Everett, Cathcart, and the stock company. This evening they appear in " The Stranger" and " The Wonder," being the last night of the engagement, and for the benefit of Mr. and 111 re• Kean. We understand that a requisition of citizens will be presented toinduce them to return for a few nights if the Fall. We hope it may receive a favourable response. THE HAY HARVEST.—In Yorkshire, except in 3 few places where advantage was not taken of the late fine weather, the hay harvest is ended. The crop, as a whole,. has been secured in the most splendid condition, but the drought of June interfered somewhat with the yield. The recent heavy rains have improved the pastures, but thel are very poor, and hay, as a speculation for winter s is risieg in price, turnips and spring corn looking badlyt Austrii Do. 13 ueno; Do I Chiliar Do.
