WORCESTER, APRIL 29.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The good cause prospers here. Colonel Lygon's party
seem to lose confidence already at the brilliant success of Captain
Spencer's canvass. Captain-Spencer is a brother of Lord Althorp
and of Lady Lyttleton. Wherever he goes he is received with
the strongest demonstrations of joy and welcome. Nothing can
equal the enthusiasm of the good friends of Reform, nor are the
weak attempts of its adversaries likely to be availing.
Davies and Robinson are sureof success for our city, and Foley
and Spencer will, no doubt, come off triumphantly for the county.
Your's in great haste,
A TRUE REFORMER
AND A SUBSCRIBER TO THE SUN.

BERWICK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The zeal, firmness, and ability, with which your excel-
lent Journal advocates the cause of Reform, induces me as a
favour to request your early insertion of the following :
Berwick-upon-Tweed.
An address from Lieut.-Colonel Beresford, one of the late re-
presentatives of the said borough, to the non-resident burgesses
(in the Morning Advertiser of this day) calling upon them to
support him, in what he terms the defence of their rights and pri-
vileges, and which from the general tenourof its language, might
induce many persons to suppose that an hostile feeling to the
measure of Reform existed among the non-resident burgesses, I
beg in direct contradiction to this, to say, that there are at least
one hundred voters in London, ready and willing to give their
vote to any independant gentleman, who may come forward in
the cause of Reform ; they are most willing to make any per-
sonal sacrifice for the advancement of the national cause, con-
vinced of its absolute necessity and universal benefit. Should
Colonel Beresford again be returned for Berwick, known as he
and his family are to be determined enemies to Reform, the
fault will not rest with the non-resident burgesses.
Mr. Editor, your's very respectfully,
A NON-RESIDENT BURGESS OF BERWICK-
UPON-TWEED.

CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 29.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—WC have this day had one of the first proofs of that
underhand system of boroughmongering influence in the return
of two Anti-Reform Members for the town and borough of
Cambridge. The Marquis Graham and Colonel Trench, the
tools of the Duke of Rutland, were this morning elected by the
votes of a few inhabitants of the place, and by some of the
Duke's tenants from Cheveley, who, Sir, are the honest, inde-
pendent electors of a population of upwards of 15,000. Do not,
however, for a moment imagine that this has been quietly sub-
mitted to by the people. Do not suppose that a scene so dis-
graceful has been looked on with feelings of pleasure. Far other..
wise (I cannot help saying I am sorry to a degree)—far otherwise
has been the conduct of the mob. Up to the moment lam now
writing the town is a scene of riot and confusion, and we are
witnesses ofthe first effects ofretributive justice from the violated
feelings of an enraged populace. The effigies of those servile
men who have this morning equally degraded themselves and
their country, by accepting an election on such terms, have been
paraded with acclamation and insult through the town, and
burnt with equal hatred and contempt, and the populace, " their
vengeance yet unsated," crowd through the streets and breathe
nothing but murmurs and threats against the authors of this
hateful election. Would to God that the hand of violence may
yet be stayed, but should the slightest fuel be added to the
smouldering fire, the flame which has been nourished in corrup.
tion can only be quenched in blood.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
A CANTAB.
