EAST SURREY ELECTION. 1 STATE OF POLLS, AND NAMES OF
MEMBERS RETURNED.

70 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—lt is with feelings of the deepest regret I ascertain
that the recent election for the Eastern Division of Surrey
is lost—wholly lost—through the apathy and disorganiza-
tion of the Reform Committees. Captain Alsager's friends,
after the most active canvass, obtained only 2,200 pro-
mises, out of which 2,195 polled—the Reform canvass
showing a decided majority in favour of King and Anger-
stein. So evident was this majority, that one of Alsager's
Committee remarked the day prior to the election that he
was afraid, from appearances, that Locke King would come
in, if not both their opponents ; but why the result so dis-
astrous to Reform ? You had only to walk through the towns
of Croydon or Kingston, or even the metropolitan streets,
on the days of polling, and you would have observed the
Tory carriages accompanied by, a zealous and active can-
vasser, were bringing up their men in gallant style—while
the Reformer carriages were driving about here and there,
in many instances without being acquainted with the names
of those friends who had promised them their votes. This
is East Surrey totally misrepresented, to the regret of all
honest Reformers. Nothing would have induced me to
make this communication but a hope that, through your
widely-circulated and intelligent journal, you would impress
the minds of Reformers with the necessity of appointing
active and able men for their Committees, as I am satisfied
had this been better attended to at the late elections the
Reform cause would not have lost in Liverpool, Hull,
Weymouth, &c. Reformers should not make too sure of
victory. The Tories are making a desperate effort to get
once more into power ; it therefore behoves every well-
wisher of good government and our excellent Queen, to
employ all their energy in aiding the return of Reform
candidates. Hoping that the unfortunate termination of the
contest in the county above mentioned will act as a sti-
mulus to the Reform Committees in counties not yet de•
tided, especially Middlesex, to call forth all their energy
and activity to keep from power the satellites of the King
of Hanover, and deeply lamenting the cause of this com•
munication,—l am, Sir,
City, Aug. 2, 1837.

AN EYE WITNESS.

[We are sorry to say that there is too much truth in
ue remarks of our patriotic Correspondent ; and we
cannot too earnestly impress on all true Reformers the
necessity of better co-operation, as well as a more
prompt and early attendance at the poll. One vote
polled is worth two promises. Men of Middlesex I
take warning by the indecision and delay of the East
Surrey electors. Vote in time, and your honour is
saved—the victory is won I—ED. SUN.]

ELECTIONEERING FRAUD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR-I see my name mentioned several times in a leader
in the Times newspaper of this day, in a way bearing on the
conduct of Mr. Hume.

Will you be the organ of communieating to the public,
that every statement with which my name is there con-
nected, is, as far as my knowledge extends, totally
without foundation. The extract of a letter to
Mr. Tait, is what I wrote in answer to the question,
whether I would set off immediately to oppose Lord Dal-
meny in the Dunfermline Burghs, being the first communi-
cation I had ever had with any living creature on the sub-
ject.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

This election has been decided in favour of Joseph Pease,
Esq., and John Bowes, Esq., without opposition. There was
an overwhelming assemblage of the electors, and every senti-
ment uttered by the candidates in favour of Liberal principles
and her Majesty's Ministers was most cordially responded to.
Only one feeling was predominant—that the success in the
Northern Division should be commensurate with that in the
Southern.

NORTHUMBERLAND (SOUTH).
NZWCACTLE, Are. I.—There was a rumour yesterday that
Captain Blackett would be opposed by Mr. Coulson, the re-
jected of Newcastle. That they might not be taken at a dis-
advantage, the Reformers were prepared with a second candi-
date, and it was ardently hoped that the Tories would have the
hardihood to attempt the same trick in the county as they had
tried in the town ; but they have learned wisdom from expe-
rience, and Captain Blackett has, this day, been allowed to
walk over the course, and to be returned with the Tory, Mr. Bell.
Reformers may consider this a gain to the cause, because
though Mr. Beaumont called himself a Whig, he seldom sup-
ported Ministers, and indeed was seldom in the House ;
whereas Captain Blackett will be diligent in his attendance,
and will give a warm support to her Majesty's Ministers.

Earl who from a major of Militia, principally residing
on the sacred territory of Westminster-road in his early life,
became, by lateral descent, invested of a barony, the title of
which recalls a great diplomatic era ; and at the death of his
father found himself Earl and Peer of England. His fracas
about a wife, a maid, a child, and a doctor, was a subject of
regret to his countrymen;
the more so as the concourse of
royal and other illustrious personages at the time, including .
the Queen Pauline of Wurtemberg, the Princess Augusta her
daughter, and the ill-fated Dauphine of a declining dynasth
with her royal consort, witnessed the freaks of that nobleman**
—Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany.
The Allgemeine Zeitung contains an account of a
noble lady near Rome, who has just been discovered to bay°
acted for some time past as chief of a gang of banditti. She
was in the habit of receiving and entertaining her men at her
chateau, and the property taken on the road was regularly
ported for sale to England and France. The lady is supposed
to have bad regular agencies at Florence, Leghorn, and qe-
noa, whither the property was forwarded, thereby escapiq
the investigation of the police. Several persons moving
respectable society have been arrested on suspicion of having
been connected with this Rinaldini in petticoats.

The Russian Ambassador will shortly commence
preparations for his departure, leaving Chevalier Kisselef as
Charge d'Affaires.
Signor Ivanoff takes his benefit to night at her Ma-
jesty's Theatre, being the last night but three of the season.
The performances are more than usually varied and attractiv!ii
supported by the united talent of the company, which v."
shortly be separated, many of its most established favourites
being about to depart for the continent. The principal chi;
racters of the several pieces will be sustained by Mesdall
Grisi, Albertazzi, Assandri, &c. ; and Signori Rubini, Ivan°
Tamburini, and Lablache.
