An Electioneering Curiosity.

Wo (Morning Advertiser) have received the fol

[owing letter from Mr. J. H. Fox, late Conserva.

estimate
tive candidate for the representation of Marylebone.
We give the letter as we have received it, without
altering either the grammar, the orthography, or
the punctuation, in order that the "great Conser-
vativeain e
d party"
in
te
a v
extent n
gteAnitaroYfitehbr cealmamayity they have sus-
be able fully to
lost the services of such a repre-
sentative as Mr. Fox :

Sm,—l trust You will allow Me a short space in Your
Columns in order that I may put Myself right before the
Electors of the Borough of Marylebone and the publie at
large, in regard to the late election the reason I did not go
to the Poll was, that a few petty Tradesmen Electors in the
Borough, volunteered to to perform a duty which from their
timidness or want of Abilities they failed to perform, when
the proper time had arrived namly to propose and second
Me at the Nomination, leaving Me at the last Moment no
time to look for Gentlemen who would have considered it
a duty and a pleasure to perform, and thus depriving the
Electors of the. Borough of Marylebone of the opportunity
of recording their votes in favour of the Liberal, Conserva-
tive, Candidate, which they undoubtedly would have done
in great numbers, so much for lowering the Franchise,
when so many of those who now enjoy it, show such indif-
ference in its due exercise, one word as to the expense of
the late Contest, I wish it to be understood that I am
both able and willing to bear that expense heavy as it is, I
neither received nor will I accept one Farthing from anl
quarter whatsoever for such a purpose, while an Apology
is justly due to You for taking up so much of Your
valuable space.

I remain Sir Yours Respectfully
J. H. Fox.

819, Oxford-street, July 14, 1865.
It i$ due to Mr. Fox to say that this letter is not
in his own handwriting, but we are warranted in
taking it for granted that it is a copy of an
original letter by him, and also that being duly
signed, it was read and approved by the late Con-
servative candidate for Marylebone.

THE CONVICT PRITCHARD.—Dr. Pritchard keeps
calm and composed, spending the whole day in reading the
few books supplied out of the prison library, eating well
and sleeping soundly. An application has already been
-received from a person ambitious of officiating on the
morning of the execution. This rivalto Calcraft, although
quite unknown on the platform of the British gallows,
states that he qualified himself for the task by a short but
arduous apprenticeship during the mutiny in India, where
he made his first essay amongst the rebel sepoys. The
authorities, it is stated, have agreed to employ Calcraft, as
usual, the long experience of that official making him the
one in rlacln moat confidence can be placed.
