TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. GENTLEMEN, —The old Parliament is dis solved—a new one is to be constructed— and you are now called upon to exercise the high and important nrivileze of 81 twiny, the represen atives of the greatest city in the world. We venture to plat, our names on the list of corn plitors for your suffraos, or rather for a r. newel or con tinuation of them ' • for we have this adv.ntage over many c .ndidates that we do not come before you as strangers. Our exertions in your interests during a long series of years are not unknown, nor have they been unrewarded. We are old and tried Reformers. Grieved to behold our fellow-citizens outrageously overtaxed, we introduced a new system, and raised the cry of "ECONOMY AND EXCP:LLENCY: IN HAPPY COMBINATION." We have most earnestly opposed and condemned all exorbitant claims upon the public purse, setting an example to others in the extreme modera tion of 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 our pledges--we have never neezlected our duty. The improving state of our revenue from the con tinued and inareased prosperity of our commercial relatio s, justifies us in promising to give our best consideration to the possibility of still further retrenchmen s of all demands upon the incomes of our constituents. We are advocates for an ea tension 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 objection whatever to see it multiplied to any extent, and amongst all classes. We ever iden i y our own interests with those, f the richest and the poorest of eur fell w-count rymen, and are ready to work for all alike—for troth sexes and for all ages. We have continued to satisfy all parties without addrersing ourselves exclusively to any. With the expression of these principles, opinions, and pro mi•es, and with the most grateful sense of past favours, we have the honour to remain, GENTLEMEN, Your laithiui and obedient Fervanti, MOST and SON. The committees of E. MOSES and SON sit daily from Seven a.m. and Niue p.m. (Sattudays excepted), at the great Cloth in.; Mart, at the Corner of Minories and Aidgate ; at the Corner of /fart-street and New Oxford-street and at the Corner of Tottenham-court-road and Euston-road, where clam-es, without distinction, will meet N ith a cordial recep tion, and may command a Irompt and cheerful attention to their w fiIIIE LAST EDITION OF " THE SUN," Containing the Latest SVOILTING INTELLItIEL\ C Mn be had Every Evening of G.

Mi-e • ulljg frztoti-;4.<; LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1865. ♦- 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 4.8 for years represented one of the most important Of our manufacturing towns, can hardly be regarded as otherwise than presumptuous. Lord AMBERLEY it is true, his father's reputation to fall back "Pon, 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 sinooth words and fair promises, if the youthful scion of the Whigs relied upon such aid. He cer tainly endeavoured to adapt himself to his comp any 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 RUSSELL proved himself an adept in the traditional policy of his race, and the courage which induced him to attack such a constituency as Leeds was no leas 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 AMBERLEY 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 th 3 EXCHEQUER is A more popular man than the Foreign 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, we 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 should 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 TAKINGTON 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 cake no retrogressive steps. Sir JOHN . 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 raquire 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 In this hope all true Reformers must to come. 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 daiheing,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 promised. 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 thcmerits 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 bo written in the pages of history, and those pages would hring.a blUf3h 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 mor e h as b een spent on these two services than in any period of peace in our-history. Such is not a very creditable exposition offsets; and the members of the Govern ment have not much to .plume themselves upon in regard to it.. - General PEEL was able to refer to some iialuable" services that the late Administration rendered the country in introducing improvements that the necess iti es o f th e ti me requ i re d , an d th a t the rapid development of the resources of other nations rendered it necessary for us to inaugurate. Conspicuo us Amolig these were the building of armour-plated ships, the introduction of rifled guns, and the acceptanc e of the services of Volun teers. These are indeed lasting and important works, and reflect great credit on the skill and dis cernment of those who approved of them. Now that 04ese are recogn i se d thi ngs, i t is very inge_ nious for all present Ministers to appropriate to themselves the merit of them, but people who take the trouble to look into the records of the pait 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 indicat4l by their' predecessors. As regards,the demi-god of the Admini6tratiou, 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 he good, he considered that more money was now taken from the pockets of the people than when this Government 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. He 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 future 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. Royal 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 friend, M. R. Romer, appeared as the Herald of the College, and opened the fair with the following proclamation :-- Proclamatio Regii Collegii Dramatici Perlis Annuiu Agen dis prtedicta, Mense Julii xv., xvii. PRIMUX. Be it proclaimed, on the Queen our Sovereign Lady's behalf, that every person, of what state, degree, or condition that he or she be 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 bo 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 Adolescent is Perviridis. ITEM. That all female venders of merchandise, fancy ware, and other goods, having booths or stalls at said fair, are hereby empowered and authorised by the Master and 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 largo 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.

PosTßEsto. 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 pmishment to be inflicted by the fine of a sum of ten guiheas, or more, and the Secretary shall answer thereto under the title of Nummus Laterculorum Tocularium. 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 iu 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 'Vombwell'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.

An Electioneering Curiosity. We (Morning Advertiser) have received the fol lowing letter from Mr. J. H. Fox, late Conserva tive candidate for the representation of Marylebone. We give the letter as we have received it, without altering either the grammar, the orthography, or the punctuation, in order that the " great Conser vative party" in Marylebone may be able fully to estimate the extent of the calamity they have sus tained in having lost the services of such a repre sentative as Mr. Fox : trust You will allow Me a short space in Your Columns in order that I may put Myself right before the Electors of the Borough of Marylebone and the public at large, in regard to the late election the reason I did not go to the Poll was, that a few petty Tradesmen Electors in the' Borough, volunteered to to perform a duty which from their timidness or want of Abilities they failed to perform, when the proper time had arrived namly to propose and second Me at the Nomination, leaving Me at the last Moment no time to look for Gentlemen who would have considered it a duty and a pleasure to perform, and thus depriving the Electors of the Borough of Marylebone of the opportunity of recording their votes in favour of the Liberal, Conserva tive, Candidate, which they undoubtedly would have done in great, numbers, so much for lowering the , Franchise, when so many of thos e w h o now en j oy i t, s h ow such indif ference in its due exercise, one word as to the expense of the late Contest, I wish it to be understood that I am both able and willing to bear that expense heavy as it is, I neither received nor will I accept one Farthing from anl quarter whatsoever for such a purpose, while an Apology is justly due to You for taking up so much of Your valuable space. I remain Sir Yours Respectfully J. H. Fox. 319, Oxford-street, July 14, 1865. It is due to Mr. Fox to say that this letter is not in his own handwriting, but we are warranted in taking it for granted that it is a copy of an original letter by him, and also that being duly signed, it was read and approved by the late Con servative candidate for Marylebone. [A precisely similar communication was received yesterday by ourselves, dated, like the foregoing, from 319, Oxford-street, but without any signature whatever.—En. SUN.] THE CONVICT PRITCHARD.—Dr. Pritchard keeps calm and composed, spending the whole day in reading the few books supplied out of the prison library, eating well and sleeping soundly. An application has already been received from a person ambitious of officiating on the morning of the execution. This rival to Calcraft, although quite unknown on the platform of the British gallows, states that he qualified himself for tho task by a short but arduous apprenticeship during the mutiny in India, where he made his first essay amongst the rebel sepoys.

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 tho 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, we are assured, will on this occasion be far more numerous than in 1859, when some ten or twelve Liberal seats, gained by bribery and in timidation, reverted to the Conservatives.

DEAN IN AMERICA.—The S 4 Louis Democrat says :—This evening closes the most brilliant engagement over fulfilled in St. Louis. Not withstanding the announcement of doubling the prices 01 admission upon the opening of the box-office, upwards 01 200 seats were secured for the five performances, and lb ° demand for separate nights was so great that many par 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 Keane could attract such crowds at thi s season o f t h e year. A ll the entertainments have been good —we have not space t° particularise. Mr. and Mrs. Kean have fully sustaine d the high reputation they enjoy. " It's long ere we shel l look upon their like again." They have been admirahli supported by Miss Chapman, Messrs. Everett, C a thcart , and the stock company. This evening they appear 11 ; " The Stra nger " an d " Th e W on d er ," b e i ng the last n ight of the engagement, and for the benefit of Mr. and bil l ' Kean. We understand that a requisiti on o f c iti zens Wu be presented to induce them to return for a few nights i° the Fall. We hope it may receive a favourable response- THE HAY HARVEST.—In Yorkshire, except in few places where advantage was not taken of the late BP weather, the hay harvest is ended.
