Eaitoa,—The letter that appeared in your Paper of . Wednesday last, which stated that " there is reason to believe that Mr. IlowNos-. •liIAD was chiriYs uhpnrteil by the interest of the Jacobins," .is .4 . gross inisrepresentation of that Gentleman and his connexions, and should he stigmatized as a' foul and malignant aspersion. The contest was not one in uhich national politics 'were: at all concerned, and the leading otrposi itionists and chief rlettatOrs here had associated on that occasion \vitt) the Corporation interest, ,the Heads of the CANNING, GALE; 'and GAsctrytie :Party, to dictate to the Freemen a 'Mayor. Mr. 1 - 101,LINGSHEAD, who is of a tamily of long stand ing and great popularity in - the town, stood for ward to resist his coalition, .4,calculated to de prive the Burgesses of their just and ancient pri vileges. Politics have never - yet been admitted Let:e into an Election lot . the Chief Magistracy, and I cannot but look tipon the letter it) qUestion as having .been written with a view to create feel ings of that, kind in future contests. Yon %%ill tit:d a .contradiction in the The Liverpool Acker titer of"this• evening, as well as Mr. 1-lowsos 11EAD's AddreSS to the Freemen, which I snit .. '3om.---From this you will learn the nature tit, the influence, and the" conduct of the parties tjppowi to him,. including that of the return ing Officers. As some repararirin -0 the wound -I:dfeelioes of that Gentleman, I think' yon ought to insert it. in THE SLIN. It is by 110 means improbable that this' matter will become a sub ject of litigation in - the superior Courts. X. X. TO THE FREEMEN OF LIVERPOOL. . " Baomxit Faccmer4,---Accept my most grateful thanks rue the noble exertions you made in my c.use, and in support 4 I your Rights and Privileges, during the late. contest; a con test Unparalleled in the annals o f y our riorough. It is well known to you all, that the Returning Officers, In the year 1802, decided th.tt the Mayor must be elected on Xt. Luke's Day: In that year there was a contested election, and the poll was carried on until the hour of twelve o'clock at night ; the books were then added up, and the Gentleman • "Ito had the greatest untidier of votes was declared duly elected. The following year there was also a contest which lasted until the hour of twtive o'clock. The then Returning t ) ttcers tollowed„ 0)j - example of their predecessois, and de ,tlared the Candidate - who. had the majority:of votes duly •tlected. Every Burgess has, since, considered this to be the usage of the 11,trongh, and that no Returning Officers world deviate . front it, without tirst giving- notice of then intention iu to du. Cotter this .impressma I engaged in the contest; and had the usage been adhered to, the victory would hive `t ) Yett yours; for, at ten minutys before twelve o'clock, it ‘,/ 'the tutu to rote at my bar, where I had fifteen voters; leo .rotes were tendered, the Returning Officers refused to take them, and declared toe Court adjourned. Had they taken the tally offered them,' I should hare had a majority of nitte, at twelve o' c lock. The legality, or illega tity, of the adjourn -,ent 1 shall not enter into at preseut.— a , do contend, that the usage of the Borough ought to have "erti dithered to; and toy opponent might have appealed to The Court of King's Bench, if he thought proper so to do.— This. mode of proceeding would have - produced an explanation uf your Charter by A competent tribunal ; and 'not have left .4 open to every future Returning Officer and his advisers to Put their own constructions upon it. " You are all so well :t .;are of the nature of the influenc e that has been excited Ei.,,inst you, that it is quite unnecessary for ura to say more on that. subject.

In the course of the e►►suint; winter we hear there. will be brought forward pore extensive collections. of Engravings, ancient and Modern, than were, ever in one season presented to the nithlic.—Amongst them, the collections of the late Thomas Esq: the late Lord Chief Baron, the late Sohn Carter, Esq. F. S. A., and of the hte,Henr} Ihbot, Esq. Mr. iIASKERSIIILD'S Collection consists of ex-. tensive series of emgravll British topography, ,arroored . according to their several comities ; English and foreign portraits ; and a great va riety of beautiful topographical drawings, by Vardou, Nicholson', Taylor, pecan, CARTBA'S Collection is -SO various and exten sive, and is so well known to the literary world, that it scarce requires to be particular ly noticed; but as it contaios many subjects of great interest to the aw +arty, it may he proper 'to oisserVe, that his most valuable collection of sketches of the 'antiquities throug!ront England and Wales, from 1764 to 18:6, in 28 volumes large folio; several most beassiitul and hi2hly fintshed drawings of the Cat lieu of York, Dor bans, &c., wiih the copy-right, plates, &C. ot his various architectural works, and his very interest ing collection of teliqt.e, 0r ancient architecture, tessera, busts, paintings ant painted glass,iancient carved chairs, ..and other rare curiosities, will be seen with the other parts of his collection.—The late LORD CHIRP BARON'S IS more select than ex tensive; but it contains several select series of topographical prints, lititish portraits, and seve ral fire historical prints. The latter are becoming • very scarce, from the great demand by the nume rous collectors of them throughout •t he kingdom. —Mr. IBBOT'S Collection has been deservedly long , in high repute and estimation. The collection of prints, particularly of British portraits, embracing every class-of characters, from the earliest period of the E , glish history to the commencement of the present reign, by Faitnorne, Loggan, Vats derbanc, Glover, Lombart, Van Voerst, R. White, &c. 4c. Among them are many very rare a , ,d unique portraits, the works of J. Smiths and G. Venue, containing a number of proofs and variations, the most complete ever submitted to the public. The foreigu portra:is are rental kably fine, especially those by Drevet, Ede liak, Masson, Nantueil, &c. The miscellaneous detached prints, books of prints, and copperplates,. arc numerous and in good condition. This col lection was formed nearly forty years sinee'by the father of the late Mr. Ibbot, who was for many years the intimate friend am! fellow collector of the late Lord Orford, the Rev. Mr. Grainger, Sir William Musgrave, Sir James Lake, Mr. Richard Bull, Mr: Grdston, and Mr. Anthony Storer.; - arid are in the same stare as whets they cause into the possession of the late proprietor.. • The opportunity which now presents itself to collectors of engravings to complete their series will not of course be disregarded, as a similar one, so extensive and varied, may' not for many years be again viewed by the public. The Custodes of the Fitzwillians Museum at Cambridge, the Trustees of the British Museum, &c. &c. should, if any of Ilse series of engravings in their possession are im perfect, avail themselves of tie opportunity, and complete them ; and select such others as will enrieta those national depositaries ,f the Fine Arts, and of rare and valuable curiosities its science and literature.

But my next conh plairt tigai.tst the Scene-painter; for; as the former offends against geography, so does the hr.ter against botany. The artist, whose information, if appears, is not eq1 . 141 to the taste and ability with which be handles his pencil (and to which I beg; leave to give my sincerest applause), has given us palms and fits oti the saute canvass— though those trees perform parts so opposite un der the great•scheme of nature, and have conse quently beets given, to climates so remote from each other ! For the future, I beseech the Ma nager to separate his firs and pubis, and to give no firs, and oaks, and beecheS at the Siege of Bel grade, while he keeps his palms and banyan fig trees for Rninah Droog. 1 have now done with scenery, and ant come to sentiment After the Play,' we were treated with a new Prenchitied Genitals production, call ed the Father and his Children. On t hat exqui site botch-potch of extravagant incident, tine feeling, and foul principle, 1 hope the public ern sure will be speedily pronounced. The business • of defending and dignif)ing inalefacigrs may be safely left in the hands of - The Morning Chronicle, Without the assistance of the Covent Gat deo stage. Of-the structure of the table 1 shall say nothing; but the lesson which it is made to in colcat,.., that every tattier, , ot fine feelings, whose children are in want, is to seize a pistol, and look for relief on the highway, is surely not very becom ing the boards of a public Theatre, and at the very moment when the ciretonstanCes of the i hues have filled the Metropolis and the kingdom .4 itli secures of soderiug infinitely gt - eater dian even that which is here inside the provocative (the natural and justifiable provocative) to robbery and molder ! Mark, Sir, the perverseness of such moralists as the author and abettors of this and similar Dramas! Temptation no sooner presents itself, than their heroes rush into crime ; all the amends, which they subsequently offer, to injured and insult ed society, consists in the miserable whiniogs of repentance--a repentance, its the mean time, 'vouch 'yields us no reasonahl.•:gi ound of expectation that, under a - renewal of the incitemeut, a renewal of the crime woold not be practiced. In the case of the Father and his Children, there is not even that extremity of distress which cats give a colour to the criminal contrivance of the Poet. The children are' said to be starving ; but there ate three able-bodied pet sons belonging to them— their Fatliet , Sister, and Edward--s here are a troop of gay, and happy, and pious villagers, to whose bounty no appeal is made, but from whom the mind is satisfied that relief could be procured— there is a prospect of ameneed fortunes on the very morrow, and Edward, to procure them an immediate meal, , akcs the obvious and innocent course of going in scalds of wild fruits, and it is in these circumstances that the Father turns foot-pad, and beguiles the witlings with whim. perings and rhapsody. But all this iii a drama, is not Only an example of false taste, and an evil public example, but it is also a libel on h uman nature. The ordinary annals of the Old Bailey do not deserve these tender and .splendid illus., trations. The great majority of thieves are thieves by profession—a profession as regularly taught as any other the most honoitrable and use ful—a profession which they enter with the gallows before their eyes, as regularly as the soldier serves his country at the risk of falling on the, field of battle. But if, occasionally, a weak and unprincipled individual, impelled by sudden dis . - tress,and taught that this is a Natural and Ordinary' resource, rashly' enters the path of crime, why is this aberration trout ditty, ibis departure from the course of all virtuous minds, to he siezed.on as all incident ornamental to the fields of ro mance, and to be presented to the sympathy and, admiration of the multitude? Happily, in teal lite, the examples of tt virtue superior to all the temptations of fortune—of a patient and tinotiend ing sutieting ! -reven to death—under all calami ties and privations, these examples are without liddiber; and these ate , the trite examples for the stage ; and it is Therefore that 1 say, that their opposites are libels on human nature. The exceptioo, and nut the rule; the partial, and not the general, is invidiously, or !serve' sely, or ig norantly, laid hold on for exhibition ; and such Poets are only' to he compared with artists, who affecting ,to pour' ay what is beautiful in the species, should seek their models amid disease and deformity. 1 am, Sir, &c.
