TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM.

GENTLEMEN,—The old Parliament is dis-
solved—a new one is to be constructed—and you are
now called upon to exercise the high and important privilege
of to lee. log the represen atives of the greatest city in the
world. We venture to place our names on the list of com-
petitors for your suffrages, or rather for a r( newel or con-
tinuation of them ; for we have this advantage over many
c ,ndidates that we do not come before you as strangers. Our
exertions in your interests during a long series of years are
not unknown, nor have they been unrewarded. We are old
and tried Reformers. Grieved to behold our fellow-citizcna
outrageously overtaxed, we introduced a new system, and
raised the cry of "ECONOMY AND EXCELLENCE IN
HAPPY COMBINATION." We have most earnestly
opposed and condemned all exorbitant claims upon the public
purse, setting, an example to others in the extreme modera-
tion of every Mil presented by ourselves. Thus not a single
Bill so presented has ever been objected to, or rejected, or
amended. We have never disappointed our constituents—
we have never violated our pleiges—we have never neglected
our duty. The improving state of our revenue from the con-
tinued and increased prosperity of our commercial retatio• 5,
justifies us in promising to give our best consideration to the
of still further retrenchmen a of all demands upon
the incomes of our constituents.
We are advocates for an extension of the suffrage, not
"laterally" only, but in all directions. Our constituency has
always been remarkably extensive—the largest in the King-
dom—but we have no objection whatever to see it multiplied
to any extent, and amongst all classes. We ever iden i y our
own interests with those cf the richest and the poorest of eur
fell ,w-countrymen, and are ready to work for all alike—for
both sexes and for all ages. We have continued to satisfy all
parties without addressing ourselves exclusively to any.
With the expression of these pri❑ciples, optoions, and pro-
mises, and with the most grateful sense of pant favours, we
have the honour to remain,
GENTLEMEN,
Your faithful and obedient Servants,
E. MOSES and SON.

The committees of E. MosEs and SON sit daily from Seven
a.m. and Nine p.m. (Saturdays excepted), at the great Cloth-
ing Mart, at the Corner of Minories and Aldgate ; at the
Corner of Hart-street and New Oxford-street; and at the
Corner of Tottenham-court-road and Euston-road, where all

tion, and may command a prompt and cheerful attention to

DEATH FROM THE SIGHT OF BLOOD.—As Miss
Eliza Smith, (laughter of Mr. Smith, veterinary surgeon,
was in the kitchen, on Friday last, with her sister and Mr.
Braithwaite, a butcher, the latter was killing a brace of
ducks, and as soon as Miss Smith saw the blood running
from one of the birds, she became very sick, and was re-
moved to a sofa, where she died almost immediately
afterwards. Death is supposed to have resulted from a
shock to the nervous system.

ACCIDENT AT THE FINSBURY NO3IINATION.—We
regret to say that an imperfectly constructed bar-
rier gave way at the hustings on the day of nomination
Tinder the pressure of the crowd, and severely injured a
policeman of the G division, named Sexton. The poor
fellow, whose leg was broken in two places, was taken
immediately to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where of course
every attention was paid him.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1865.

Mr. BRIGHT had one ',of his opportunities yester-
day, when he could speak uncontradicted, and
launch out into his extreme theories irrespective of
consequences and consideration. If Mr. BRIGHT
really feels what he says, that on such occasions as
that which brought them together much depended,
that they were " putting in force a power which,
for good or evil, is felt in the very humblest homes
of the people of this kingdom ;" it is a pity that he
does not exercise the power more warily and wisely.
Running into extremes at every turn, and abusing
all who presume to differ from him, is a very undig-
nified mode of proceeding, and cannot but injure,
instead of serving, the cause he professes to rever-
ence and admire. Reform, of course, is the
key-note of the hon. member's speech, and he
seemed almost to exhaust his powers of description
in discussing it.

It may be remarked, however, that the account
he gave of others does very well for himself, for he
would be lost if this great question were once
settled for our generation. What would he do
without this grand excuse for abusing the aristo-
cracy, reviling the Government, and extolling the
great services of himself and his friends? " Othello's
occupation would be gone " indeed, and this solu-
tion is the only reason we can see for the apparently
inconsistent course which this zealous patriot has
pursued. He was one of the chief obstacles to the
passing of the Conservative Reform Bill. He went
about the country, from town to town, like a second
PETER the Hermit, to warn the people of impending
danger, and stir up their energies and stimulate
their exertions. Then when the contest was over,
and a Liberal Government installed in office, where
were Mr. BRIGHT'S tirades, and what had become of
his censures? They were buried with Lord Rus-
SELL'S incomplete and inconclusive measures.
Now Mr. BRIGHT seeks to play his game career,
and abuses Lord PALMERSTON ! Doubtless the
Ministers are much to blame, but Mr. BRIGHT is
not the fit person to do so. At every crisis of
affairs his name is found in the list of Govern-
ment supporters, and it is thi3 support -which
renders the Cabinet so reckless and co
impracticable. If it was culpable of the DERBY
Ministry to introduce an insufficient scheme of
Parliamentary Reform, what was it for the Cham-
pion of Reform to cause an entire failure and then
to take no steps to retrieve the error? Mr. BRIGHT
will never faithfully represent the people of England
while he puts one class in opposition to the other.
It is an unfair style of proceeding, and one that
shows that his party feelings and conventional pre-
judices are paramount to what should be general
schemes for the advancement of the nation at large.
When he talks of the county representation " as a
dead body tied to the living body of the borough
representation;" he exhibits in a strong degree that
narrow view and bounded notion which has mate-
rially checked the influence of his party. Because
Mr. BRIGHT has a particular dislike to everything

rural, and thinks the term " agriculture" synony

mous with all that is contemptible, it does not
follow that the places which fall under his

displeasure are to be blotted out from the
representative map that must soon be traced.
In vain does he put forward his great eloquence and
exert his trained powers of debate. He can never
convince the calm and impartial that he is sincere and
straightforward while he condescends to such artifices
and manceuvres. For instance, he was strong about the
iniquity of Anti-Reformers, and puts forward an
impressive sketch of their infatuation, telling us
how they look upon the Reform -which is a-head of
them, like the poet has said we look upon death—

" That is the doom they dread, yet dwell upon."

And yet, in pursuing this theme, Mr. BRIGHT shows

where his partialities begin, and how his prejudices

never end. The " fancy franchises" are his abo-
mination, he is proud of having nicknamed them,

he rejoices in having defeated their.object. Now
this is very absurd ; because why should not a man
who pays more than double for a part of a house
than some of Mr. BRIGHT'S protegjs for their places
of residence be qualified to vote ? As for educa-
tion and intelligence, we should find far more among
the holders of fancy franchises, but perhaps that
would not suit the views of the hon. member for

Birmingham, or perhaps he is jealous of the fac

that those he called the arch-enemies of Reform
should have stolen a march upon him, and dis-
covered an improvement in popular representation
that had not been dreamt of in his philosophy.

One proof of better sense and taste than he
generally shows in such addresses Mr. BRIGHT gave
yesterday, in paying a tribute to Mr. DISRAELI,
although he qualified his praise by add-
ing' that he wasted his energies on a
" decaying party." Mr. BRIGHT should wait
until the result of the elections is known before
he applies such flattering terms to the Opposi-
tion; and, judging by his own standard, they are
as flourishing as the Ministerial ranks he serves in.
They all seem rushing on headlong to destruction,
if we are to take the estimate here presented to our
view by the great oracle of Birmingham.
It is much to be regretted that one so able should
not make the most of his opportunities, but it is
useless to expect that the hon. member for Birming-
ham will ever control his excitement, or allow rea-
son to curb his prejudice. He is an honour to the
class to -which he belongs ; he might be of great
service to his country, but he throws away his
chances and wastes his powers in abuse instead of
concentrating them in argument. lie would make
a much more effective speaker across the Atlantic,
where he could launch out his denunciatory lan-
guage as much and as far as he pleased.
Mr. BRIGHT fails to appreciate and refuses
to recognise the real secret of the strength
A the English Constitution—the combination
of classes. He would put down landed in-
fluence ; he would ignore the House of Lords ;
but then our power would be gone as a mixed re-
presentation of interests. It is the peculiar mission
.of the three powers of the State which has kept
our country secure when despots fell from their
thrones and when republics were shattered to atoms.
The aristocracy Of wealth is far more suspicious
and intolerant than the aristocracy of birth, and it
and it is going against the general feeling of he
country for Mr. BRIGHT to persist in slighting all
influences but those of trade and commerce, and
all rights but Owe of municipalities. Mr. BRIGHT
concluded by an eloquent description of the ad-
vancing tide sweeping away all barriers, and de-
duced from that an illustration of popular opinion
making itself felt. So it will assuredly, but not
in the manner he means. Late events have
shown us that a democracy can make mistakes, and
is as much possessed of the fallibility of human
nature as infatuated monarchs and exclusive aris-
tocrats. Nothing can be done of a lasting
nature if done in the heat of passion and excite-
ment, and no change worthy of this great
country can be wrought if class rise up against
class, and rival interests clash instead of
all joining for the common cause. Mr. BRIGHT
