ELECTION FOR MINISTER OF ST
JAMES, CLERKENWELL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—You will scarcely refuse a place to an honest
statement. Dr. Dillon, for fourteen years lecturer, is
also incumbent of the fashionable Charlotte-street
Chapel, Pimlico, from which he derives an income of
about one thousand pounds per annum. Mr. Faulkner,
(of whose benevolence, far beyond his income, and
practical attention to the poor, by day or night, I
have seen tearful statements in public to-day) has been
twenty-five years Minister of the Associated Church el
St. John's; his income from which (his only preferment)
has barely averaged three hundred pounds per annum.
I am, Sir, yours repectfully,
Essex-street, Strand, HOMO.
Sept. 20, 1839.
