SIR,-The delays—experiencedby this company's
trains in passing over such portion of the Brighton Coin
puny 's line as we are now compelled to do, and the utter in-
difference manifested by that company to all our cththlaints,
cause me to request that you will give publicity to the follow-
ieg letter which I have this day addressed to the manager of
the Brighton line. This course is the only one open to me
to inform passengers by this railway of the reason of deten-
tions; and it also appears to be the only mode of enforcing
punctuality on the part of the Brighton Company.-J MU

SOCIETY FOE THE PROTECTION OF Yam.° FE-
Its.nr.s.—The twelfth annual meeting of this society took
place last evening at the Hal of Commerce. In the absence
of one at the vice- patrons, who was to have presided, the
chair was occupied by William Aetbury, Esq. The report for
the past year stated that the funds had innemed 8601, over the
receipts of the previous year. the income being %M. 6s. Id. ;
altogether the financial affairs of the inatinitioo were in a
utiafactory condition, there being a balance upon the year's
occounts in the bands of the treasurer of 181. Is. 4d. During
the year 26 infamous homes had been suppressed in the
metropolis (making 221 in the whets)—among them that
of Madame de Souza, of Orafton.stron, Fitsroy-square.
The house kept by this woman had the appearance
of being a fashionable dressmakers and milliners, but
was in reality one et the wont description. Every
stratagem was empire,: defeat the prosecution, but

ELECTION LNTELLIGENCE.
THE METROPOLIS.

TUN Crrr.—lt became known yesterday that Mr. W.
Payne, the City coroner, who has been before the elector*
as • candidate, did not mean to submit his claims te
the event of a poll ; and the contest will come-
quently he between the four liberal candidates and their
tour tory opponents. So far, all promises well for a lair
stand-up fight; and of the result we have no doubt. The
utmost activity is being displayed by the general committee
of the liberal candidates, as well as the several tiistrie com-
mittees. The proceedings at the nomination this day will
Commence about eleven o'clock, but the hall will be open an
hour earlier.
CONSEUVATIVE lIIIETING. —At a meeting of the tan-
*creative electors of the Billingsgate and Tower Wens, held
at 2 o'clock yesterday, in the New Corn Exchange Room,
j Mark-lane, the four conservative candidates made a declara-
tion of the sentiments on which they founded their claim to
support. That upon which they meet strongly relied wee
their determined opposition to all encouragemeet, hyeadeal
ment or otherwise, of the Itomau catholic church. Mr.
Bevan went so far as to declare that it was Lord J. Itaseell's
statement on the subject which {lone had induced him
to come forward ; and the observation having excited
some tokens of dissent and surprise, he proceeded to
eulogise the political character of that noble lord,
who, he said, with the boldness of a lion, pereisted
in carrying out the principles which he deemed to
,be correct. Nay, more, he (Mr. Bevan) admitted that
Lord J. Russell, as Prime Minister, checked by a good con-
servative opposition, was capable of forming as useful a
government as nay they were likely to see in this country;
tut on the subject of tho Romish church he was dimwit
ally opposed to him, and would continue so as long as ha
lived. Ile and his colleagues had be en laughed at se be'ag
" no popery " candidates. For his own pare, ho was attached
M no particular party, Reel he desired no higher hoonaz
' than that of being the + no popery " candidate fur the City
of London ! (Mr. Bevan at a recent meeting declared that
he bad never dreamed until a few days age of being a Candi-
date for the City of London ; and this looks as if he does not
' even now dream of ever being its representatiee,)
THE NONCONPORMISTS.—Yesterday a meeting of the
nonconformist electors of the City of London was held at
the London Tavern, Ilishoperate-street. The large room of
the tavern was densely crowded, and at the hour appointed
for commencing the business of the day (two o'clon) ge
John Remington Mills was called to the chair. The chair-
man, in opening the proceedings, remarked that since the
year 1811, when Lord Sidrnouth essayed an steel epee the
religious liberties of the dissenters, until the present yearlBl7,
the government of the country had never ventured to in-
troduce the elements of religions strife into the contests at
general elections of the representetives of the people. By the
exertions of the dissenters the tory administrations had beet
very nearly gut to the point that the established chnrelt
had enough, and that whatever was to be deue ice
that estsnlishinent must be provided from its own
and not from any aggression upon the pockets of the people.
This was the understanding; and Sir Robert Peel but never
asked for additional money for the church, whereas Lord J.
Russell, by his grant under the minutes of the council of
rotation, would have given 90 per mist. of that grant to the
establishment. He therefore had introduced the demeaned
religious strife into the present contest ; lied his course was
meet impolitic, because it was directed against those eto
had been the constant and unwearied suppornes of wing
principles. To their own principles, drawn from the Bible,
the nonconformists adhered ; and upon those principles they
felt bound to oppose a scheme of education, even thank
, brought forward by one is whom they owed mach. Clarke,
I an attentive bearing for all who might address the meeting,
he would now beg the bushier of the day should be pro.

paired also to defend and eoppert the religious education of the people
unfettered by state pay or state control, se the most precious rasa
ranter of the civil and religious liberties of this country.
In proposing the resolution, Mr. Morley repudiated the
notion that the diFsentera joined in the no enprry cry which
had been raced. On the contrary, the moving came which
had led to the opposition to Lord J. Russell and the moo-
ment, not only in the City, but in every borough in the
country, was that; lodging from his minutes of educe*,
his proposition for the endowment of the Roman err
church, and his creation of the bishopric of Mancheder, the
noble lord stood committed to the principle of endowment;
and hence he (Mr. Morley) hoped that at the poll et tie
eltetien of which they were upon the eve, every Moth
formist would record Ilia vote against the noble lord. Oa
these and other grounds be rev-mounded the resalatim
which he hail read to the general adoption of the meeting.—

but which only went to enforce the proposition we-

ANDasi. Lisaehouse, and Poplar, in this borough, was held

.a . Chi (who was received with. great cheering and egi-
mixed with a few bine') acid, that in appomisc ls-
Ea &Wore as a candidate for the Tower Bembeli be
wirear.as a new candidate, for he had been their
spmestedoe in four parliaments, and that ever since the
• beggegh had is-termed the franchise ; and he bad rather to
agree the plat than to the future. If he had failed in the
pednuarice of his duty let them discard him and choose
a um heroic and fitting representative. But if he
ha faithfully performed his duty with attention, then
grey might look to his past conduct as a guarantee
be the future, and professions would be useless. It
vas fifteen years since he had represented them, and
lawns the command of entire leisure acd independent's,
be Wed to them such commercial kuowledge as made him
&fang representative for this borough. His qualifications
hid been tined, and although there might be some who db.
append of his opieious, he yet asked if there was one
match or one vote of his which hart not been in accordance
with the principles he had professed from the fiat time he
addressed them ? If he had swerved from those principles,
he should not have had courage to present himself before
them, bat not having changed his opinion he felt great SW
ideal in asking them to return him again to parliament.
D. principal question which had occupied the last
garliament was one in which the b.ttele h sal been
bight and won, and the interest in it had almost
peed seas—he meant the question of free-trade. Th.
Tim. birouet then at length went through the history of the
node in which the abolition of the corn-laws had been car-
ded, and characterised it as one of the greatest instances of
the ultimate prevalence of truth and justice. That parlia-
ment would be siznelied in history as the "right-about-face"
parliament. His course in that parliament was clear : to
Feanehis own principles, though brought forward by his
sl eoponr eats. lie sad the men of the Tower Hamlets
eed the cern laws long before their abolition bemuse
&popular question. and he had brought forward the repeal
id the corn laws in 1939, before the corn law league or the
whip had moved in it, and they had now the satisfaction of
sow the triumph of those principles. The abrogation of
the corn lows had mainly aided in getting the country
through the calamity caused by the failure of the potato crop
es
well as having relieved the pressure on manufacturing
Wintry. With regard to religious endowment, whim' was
&abject that had become of high importance, because there
was a notion that the question of endowing the Roman
esthetic c'ergy might soon arise, he would say that, after
Leg consideratino, lie had determined not to support
a vote for such a purpcse. lie bad supported the
vote for an increased greet to Maynooth on the
ground of its being an educational question—.and because it
was the fulfilment of a pledge given for the prevision oft
)per edutatOnt of the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland,
order to prevent their being educated in a foreign country.
The hen. baronet then justified his vote for the grant of
mosey for the relief cf distress in Ireland, and stated that he
accompanied that veto by one for a poor-law in that country.
He believed the existence of a law for the relief of the poor
was one of the main elements of our greatness. Ile would,
however, never vote money to be squandered on idleness,
for he maintained that the poor of Ireland should be main-
tained by the property of Ireland. If he was again elected
he would far the future, as he bail in the past, endeavour to
be the faithful expounder iu parliament of these principles
they mutually profaned; he would be the vigilant guardian
of their local interstate, accessible to every elector or non-
elector, and he would carry oat to their fullest legitimate
extent every principle of cavil and religious liberty, but be
would do to with caution, for he knew that the men of the
Tower Hamlets, while they were the friends of civil and reli-
gious liberty, were also the friends of order.—Mr. Horton,
amidst much confusion and disapprobation, 'petitioned the
hon. baronet as to the roosons why he had not joined the Corn-
law League : to whirls Sir W. Clay replied, by stating that be
was a member of and subscriber to the league, and was •much
earlier lebourer in the field than the league itself—Mr.
Frayer asked to what extent Sir W. Clay would go as re-
garded religious liberty and equality, and if he would con-
sent to a separation between the church and state I—Sir W.
Clay said, it it was meant that he was to destroy the esta-
blished church, ho answered d'atinetly he would not do so ;
because, with the reform he would apply to it, it might be
made an excellent instrument of instruction for the people,
and he believed the most intelligent of the nonconformists
did not wish its destruction. Ile would abolish church-rates
if he could, and would consent to no taxation of the people
to endow any religious sects, or to any grant for education
which would infringe on religious liberty.—lt was also asked
how far be would extend the suffrage ?—Sir W. Clay said
he was prepared instantly to repeal the rate-paying clauses of
the Reform Bill, and lie would give the voters the ballot. '
Although he was an advocate for the extension of the
suffrage, so as that it should be coextensive with the people,
he would not pledge himself yet to universal suffrage, and he
would only move to it by steps which he thought perfectly
safe. It was then asked if the hon. baronet thought that a men
able to work and who could not get it had not as inalienable
a right to noisome through the poor law as the landholdor
and fundholder had to his property,—Sir W. Clay said he
answered that question decidedly in the affirmative. It was
asked if Sir W. Clay was favourable to a graduated property
tax equal to national expenditure, and sr Cm as possible to
the abolition of all other taxes.—Sir W. Clay thought that the
taxation of the necessaries of life might be removed, but he
could not give a fuller answer to that question.—An elector
then asked if Sir W. Clay intended to assist in the demorali-
sation of the people by piing strong drink at the election.
(Great laughter, and strong symptoms of disapprobation at
Inch • not it n as the above ofliquor at an election being mooted).
Sir W. Clay said it was not his intention to give strong drink
at hi election.—ln answer to another question, Sir W. Clay
said that he would not say that the navigation laws did not
require revision at modification ; but he thought the question
should be spprosebed with the utmost caution, and the bias
of his mind was against any alteration in them.. The follow-
* resolution was then moved and carried:

and the state of feeling amongst the eleotoes, must mass to
convince any one that Westminster is likely to be neutral'
in the new parliament, molar, indeed, which seems quite
hopeless, cue of the liberal candidates shall withdraw imme-
diately. As the contest approaches, the ill feeling between
the supporters of Mr. Cochrane and the two other liberal
candidates seems rather to increase. In all places of public
resort, the supporters of Mr. Cochrane openly challenge a
comparison of his merits and claims with those of either of his
political rivets, and more especially with those of Mr. Lathing-
ton. On the other hand, some of Mr. Cothrane's friends have
pet forth a placard of a personal character in reference to
Kr. hl Inesgett, well known as the secretary of the West-
minster Reform Society, and the manager of the canvass on
behalf of General Evans and Mr. Lusgton. This docu-
ment has been exhibited in various Onninnitte4/400112S of Mr.
Cochrane, at private houses, and on the public walls, and,
from the nature of its allegations, has excited much public
attention. It will probably tend to enliven the proceedings
at the nomination, which, as before stated, is fixed for
this day.

THE PROVINCE 9.
ASIITON-UNDER.LYNIL—The nomination is fixed for
Thursday. Mr. ilindley will be returned without opposition.
AzunnEL.—The Earl of Arundel is not to be opposed.
The nomination is fired for Friday.
ABERDEEN.— f h‘. re is one point upon which all Scotland—
liberal and conservative--is unanimous, the banking qur stion.
At the elections there is but one voice, and that is hostile to
beak monopoly and restrictions on tanking innery shape.
Yet the first person applied to by the siesta employed to
get up en opposition to Captain Fordyce was an eminent
London banker, decidedly opposed to the Scotch system.
Beim icx.—Mr. Richard Rodstoon, in retiring from the
representation of this borough, endeavoured to foist a
nominee on the conservative party in the person of Mr.
Miller, a retired hatter, who once sat for Newoutle-under-
kat.. The independent portion of that party, however,
resented this attempt, and, after a few days' canvass (during
which he threatened to make the present the moat expensive
election ever known in Berwick), the redoubtable Mr.
Miller has fled before the incursion of a neighbouring tory
squire, Mr. Renton. The return of Mr. M. Forster was
from the first certain, and he and Mr. Benton will be mem-
bers for Berwick in the next parliament. The election takes
place to-day (Wednesday).
BEDFORO —The nomination is fixed for Monday next,
and the polling for Tneeday. The county election is ap-
Pointed for Saturday week (Aug. 7), when no opposition
le contemplated.
BANDON.—There will be no contest in this borough.
BRlSTOL.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of Mr.
Apsley Pellatt'a friends was held at the Assembly-rooms,
Princes-street. There was a very large attendance. Mr.
Pollan addressed the meeting. lie avowed himself in favour
Of • greatly-extended suffrage, of shortening the duration of
parliament', of vote by ballot, and of the entire separation
of
church and state. If-he should be elected, he would vote
Ix doing away with the ecolesiutical courts, and for apply-

ing the revenues of the church to the purposes of the state.
At the close of his address a resolution was proposed, pledg-
ing the meeting to support him by all legal and cenatitu•
tional means. An amendment was proposed and a show of
hands taken amidst very considerable confusion. TLo chair-
man declared tke original motion carried. Four of the
leading friends of Mr. Fripp have issued an addreNs pledging
themselves to send that gentleman to the poll. Mr. Frtpp is
a conservative, bat in favour of commercial reform.
Botrox.—The nomination is fixed fur this day. The
candidates are Mr. John Brooks and Dr. Bowring in the
liberal interest, and Mr. Bolling, a tory.
Bunt.—Friday is the day of nomination. Mr. Walker
sits again unopposed.
BLACKBURN.—The nomination takes place this day. The
candidates are Messrs. Pilkington, Hargreaves, and Roberts.
BALNPIIIKIIIII.—Mr. Duff has issued his add/Cu: no
opposition. . . . .

ntenoc—The nomination is this day, when it is ex.
pected that Mr. M. Wilson will be the only candidate.
CAMBIIIDOP.OHME.—Mr. Townley declim s to come for-
ward. Lord 0. Mennen is in the field.

COCILIIIIIIOI.ITH.—Lieut..Gea. Wyndham has been re-
quested to stand.
DURHAM (NORTA).—It has just been announced that Col.
Beckwith, one of the liberal candidates for the northern di-
vision, has resigned his pretensions, and withdrawn Lis
deposit money.
D u DI AN (Crrr).—There appears no 'lkelitrod of a contest.
A screw is loose in the proceedings of the whigs and re
--
pettier., for up to this day, with the precept already arrived,
nothing has been done. Meantime the conservatives are
active. A pls.-Red is posted throughout the city calling on
the " freemen" to come in to an office in Dame-street, and re-
gister their names and residences, as there is only one day for
polling, and it may be necessary to know their focus Os quo.
Rumour again names Sir W. Somerville es a candidate.
repealen have held a meeting in
Drogheda, and sent forward a deputation to Conciliation-
hall to get a candidate to oppose Sir W. Somerville.
Raikes, son of the Chancellor of Chester, is
the conservative candidate.

D trw tea —Mr. Lloyd, the liberal candidate. has retired.
Essex, Noarw.—Mr. Fyshe Harrison has come forward
as a supporter of the policy of Sir It. Pet).
EDINTIVIIGH.—Mr...:owan, it is understood, will go to the
poll if he recites a 500 pledges—of that number he is quite
certain—and at the poll his votes will run to a thousand at
least. The conservatives, it is said, will start Mr. Black-
burn, chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.
The excise pressure is telling on Messrs. Macaulay and
Gibson Craig, who advertise that on that question they will
be found " as satisfactory as Mr. Cowan or any other candi-
date." We believe that the precautions taken by his cvm-
mittee at last registration have placed Mr. Macaulay out of
danger.
FALKIRK HUROIIB.—Mr. W. S. Boyd stands on the
liberal interest, rice Mr. Wilson, retiree.
GLAsOUW.—Our correspondent writes:—" On reading
the lists of Mr. Dennistoun's sod of the Lord Provost's, and
Mr. 3laegregor's committee, it is as if the liberal committee
of former elections were divided into two. On Dennistoun's
we have the aristocratical and ornamental names; on Mac-
gregor and Hastie's the names of the working members, each
of whom can bring up his fifty and hundred voters. The
Darnel, too, on Dennistoun's committee do not always repre-
sent the same persons—but younger men who have come in
the place of the former bearers with leas weight and legs
talent. It will be a neck-and-neck race. It is rather
amusing to hear the supporters of Denniatoun and Dixon
protesting against being represented by any but a townsman.
Seeing that they made such efforts to bring in and keep in
Lord William Bentinck, they ought at least to qualify their
declarstions, and merely protest against " any stranger—
except a lord."
GATEPREAD.—Wednesday (this day) has been fixed for the
election. Mr. Hutt, the old member, is the only candidate.
GALWAY (Corxxv).—Mr. St. George, a conservative, re-
tires from his solicitations; Mr. Daly still proceeds, but
will not improbably give way before the election.
HERTFORD.—A third candidate has suddenly made his
appearance, in the person of Mr. T. Chambers, barrister, a
native of the town, and a dissenter. Mr. Chambers arrived
late on Tuesday night, and issued his address on Wednesday
morning. Ills principles are of a decidedly liberal character,
and his friends are sangui. e of success, nntwithstandi'•g the
lateness of his appearance in the field. It is expected that he
will coalesce with the Hon. W. F Cowper, against Lord
Mahon. The nomination will take place this day (Wednes.
day).
HARRINGTON BURG/se—The nomination is fixed for
Thursday, when Sir If. IL V. Davie will most likely be the
only candidate proposed.
KIDDIRMINSTER.—The inhabitants of this borough have
(with the exception of the select few who had been previously
let into the secret) been taken by surprise by the sadden and I
unexpected appearance in the field of a free-trade and '• reli-
pious toleration" candidate, to oppose the return of Mr.
Godson, who, it was expected, up to the last moment, would
be returned again fur this borough without opposition. The
candidate is Mr. E. J. Sartoris, introduced to the notice of
the cinstituency by some gentlemen of local influence. This
sudden change in the aspect of affairs has caused considerable
commotion. and the greatest activity prevails on both sides
in order to be in readiness for the polling on Thursday, the
nomination taking place this day (Wednesday).
KivsAt.e.—The whole force of the repealer, will go with
I Mr. Watson; his antagonist must " bleed " much if he
. succeed.
KERRT.—Mr. Cronin is declared not to stand for this
county. The day of election will probably find the can-
, didatas limited to two—Mr. M. J. O'Connell and Mr. Her-

best.
LMBUTINP..—Capt. Meynell retires, and will be succeeded •
by Sir H. B. Seymour.
LINCOLN.—The day of nomination is fined for this day
(Wednesday). Col. Sibthorp is considered safe, but is so far
indisposedsta as to be unable to take part in the canvass. It is
that his late colleague, Mr. Collett, has virtually
withdrawn from the contest finding that ho has no chance.
The conflict for the second seat seem' to lie between Sir
Bulwer Lytton and Mr. C. Seely. It is to be hoped that
Lincoln will do itself the honour of securing Sir Bulwe
Lytton as a representative.
I.arcesren.—Sir Joshua Walnisley has been well received
by the electors, and has every chance of success. to a speech
on Saturday evening explanatory of his opinions, he said,
" I have been called a stranger to Leicester, and therefore
not entitled to claim your support. Nothing can be more
unjust. For the last fifteen years, in conjunction with other
gentlemen, I have supplied this town with coral from the
Snibaton and Whitwick collieries ; and now what have I
done that a cry should be raised sgair st me ? I first im-
ported corn for you when you could not otherwise have got
et. sad then I supplied you with coal ! When I first brought
coal to this town, what was its pike ? From Ifs. to 20s. per
ton. hat hasi been its price since ? From 10s. tolls.
And what has been the saving to this town ? Why,
about 400,0001. a year, or nearly half a million of money ;
and is this nothing ? But I em called a stranger !
I have been called upon for these statements, because I have
been termed a stranger, and I am compelled to make them,
though they may expose me to the charge of egotism. A
native of Liverpool, I have been an apprentice, a working
man, and I have risen frem the lowest reeks to the position
I now occupy. I have filled every office of honour in my
native town—which is surely no slight recommendation to
working men—and I ran safely say I have never been
found wanting in the hour of trial. I have filled all the
municipal offices in my native town • I have been chair.
man of most of their committees; and I have been
tho chief magistrate of the amend town in the kingdom.
In the address which I have Weed, I have touched on moat
of those great principles which are likely to be agitated in
the next parliament, and eke ea some ofare those which I
should like to see agitated mere they they at present—l
seen the extension of the lemehier NA the vote by ballot.

I utterly condemn the principle of sending a man Gem tids
pariah to that—from North to South Wales, from lastoeldre
to the Land's End—because he may have been born or
have served his apprenticeship in a different parish
from where he has passed the greater portion of
his life. Where the tree falls, there it should lie ; and
where the poor man wants relief, there should he receive
it. But still better, I should like to see the poor man gat
such wages that he might be enabled to lay by for his de
dining years or the season of adversity—this should be the
ease in whatever grade of life a man may be found. There
is another question which I consider of vital importance to
the well-being of the people—l mean the abolition of the
game.laws. lem fond of sport. But most gladly would
I give it up rather than it should fill the gaols—rather than
indulge in an amusement at the expense of the poor man.
It ia hard, indeed, when we go abroad and tee the poor
man's garden-plot despoiled by game in order that the rich
man's sport may not be interfered with. This is one of the
questions on which I would wish to raise my voice with a
view to procure its speedy end satisfactory settlement."
MATO.—Mr. J. Browne, cousin of Lord Sligo, and for-
merly M.P. for this county, is, it is said, again in the field.
His proceedings will not improbably hurt the chances of
, Mr. Moore.
Manenzerza.—Yesterday large placards were on the
walls with en address, signed " J. Tomline," who professes
I to come forward is the interest of church and state, and
I says he shall be ready to address the electors in the course of
a few hours. Up to the time our express left, however, he
• had not " shown " in public, and tits address was thought
