" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" Sir,--In your number of the 3d November, are ad-
vertisement inviting the public to take shares in the
Western Railway of Switzerland, in which the names of
most respectable men are given as a body of Directors ;
and notice is given in the advertisement that no further
application for Shares will be received after Saturday
neat, the 6th of November, applications for the shares
to be made to the Secretary of the Company, and to
Messrs. George Burnand and Co., and Messrs. Spurling
and Son, the Sharebrokers of the Company.
" This morning I proceeded with my application, duly
signed with the requisite references, to the office of
Messrs. George Burnand and Co., 12, Cornhill, where I
saw the representative of the house, who told me that
they declined receiving applications for shares, because
they had been all allotted on the evening of the 4th, but
that I might be accommodated with them by paying
12s. 61. premium per share in the market ; and this, he
admitted, had been done without any meeting of the
board of directors, who to this hour have not met.

" If this be the beginning of the management of the
Western Railway of Swi'z?rland Company, I think i
would be desirable to call attention thereto. Does no
this savour strongly of stock-jobbing?
" London, Nov. 5, 1852."

The Stock Market is very buoyant, and there is a
marked increase in the money business doing. Con-
sols have been quoted 100 i to -a for Transfer ; and
100 k to - for Account. The New 31 per Cents. have
been 1031 to and the 3 per Ceuts. 99a to I. Re-
duced 3 per Cents. have been at 99i toll. Bank
Stock is worth 2231 to 2243, India Stock is at
2741 to 275?,. Exchequer Bills are firm; and India
Bonds realize 84s, premium. The news from Paris
of the initiatory proceedings for the declaration of
the Empire, is apparently but little heeded here.
The Foreign Securities have been neglected, and
the Turkish Scrip is further depressed, being only 2i
to 21 premium, or say at present 2- to 3 premium.
Buenos Ayres Stock is at 81i. Sardinian Bonds are
worth 98. Dutch 4 per Cents. realized 961 ; Mexi-
can are higher, being 24/ to 25. Spanish Deferred
have been quoted 25k to I, and the 3 per Cents. 51/
to 52. The news from Constantinople regarding
the Loan does not up to the present time con-
firm the assertion that an indemnity will be
offered, although it is admitted in an official com-
munication that the Ambassador of the Porte at Paris,
and the agent of the Bank exceeded their instructions.
Such being the case, the Government must be held
responsible; but the question then remaining is, what
compensation shall be offered ?

The Railway Share Market is not so good as it
was yesterday, and there is less doing in the English
lines. Still it cannot be said that there is any marked
depression. French Shares do not quite support the
material rise of yesterday, but are buoyant.
The Gold Mine Shares are firm.

THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COLLISON. GOVERN-
, smiT INQuiar.—Yesterday Captain Wynne, the Govern.
ment inspector of Railways, proceeded to institute an in-
quiry on behalf of the railway department of the Board of
Trade, into the recent collision with the express train on the
Brighton line. His report of the disaster will be forwarded
to the board of Trade, when it will be made public.—The
injuries to the Earl of Chichester is not of that serious char-
acter, which from general report we had been led to expect.
His lordship's left eyebrow was laid open, the wound being
rather more than an inch in length, but not of serious depth.
Mrs. Cloves, a widow lady, residing at 18, Regency-square,
who was in a first-class carriage with Mr. George Tamplin
and Mrs. Tamplin, received the most severe injury of any
person in the train. She sustained a compound fracture of
her right leg, and the anterior plate of her left leg was
greatly indented, but the limb was not broken. She is at-
tended by Mr. B. Valiance; and on inquiry last night at the
surgery, we ascertained that she is going on as favourably as
can be expected under the unfortunate circumstances. Lord
and Lady Foley and Mr. and Miss Wygram, of Brunswick-
square, were also among those who were injured.
REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD.— The committee
which conducted the late election in the interest of Col.
Thompson, have decided to petition against the return
of Mr. Wickham. They feel that the election of that
gentleman was not the fair expression of the opinions
and wishes of the electors—that it was accomplished
directly by a conspiracy of the Roman Catholic voters
and indirectly by corrupt and false votes. The votes of
the former cannot be removed from the poll, but those
of the latter can, and by their removal the act of the
former rendered null and void. On this account diefly,
so we believe, have the friends of Col. Thompson re-
solved on a petition. An intimation of their intention
has been made to the chairman of Mr. Wickham's ccmj
mittee, and a meeting of that body was held yesterday'
at the New Inn, to consider what steps shall be taken iu
the matter. We have not heard the result of their
deliberatiene,—Bradford Observer,
