HULL ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The following address from Colonel Thompson :is
placarded in the streets of our town this morning. It
scarcely necessary to say that he has not the slightest chance
to succeed, and by pursuing a course of conduct, so infatuated,
will lead to the inevitable result of a Tory being returned for
Ilull, which, under other circumstances, would be certain of
sending two Reformers.—l am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
Hull, 22d March, 1838. DELTA.
P. S.—Mr. Hutt and Mr. Wood have the first claim, they
being the parties petitioning.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
KINGSTON-UPON-HULL.
GENTLEMEN,—A decision of the Committee this day, has
brought a new Election for Hull within the range of possibility.
I have the honour to propose myself as a Candidate for your
suffrages, in the event of a new Election finally taking place.-
1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obcdt. Servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

SUDBURY ELECTION-THURSDAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The writ for a member to serve in the present Parlia-
ment for this borough, occasioned by the decease of our late
Member, General Sir Edward Barnes, has this day been prc-
claimed. The nomination is fixed for Monday morning, the
26th instant.
Up to the present time no candidates have solicited except
our es-member, Sir John Walsh, who was returned second on
the poll at the election of December 10 and 11, 1832, when
the numbers were—For the Right Hon. M. A. Taylor 263,
127 of which were plumpers ; Sir John Walsh 253 ; D. C.
Wrangham, Esq. 234; John Bagshaw, Esq. 46.
On that occasion such had been the chagrin of Sir J. Walsh,
on not being allowed to ride first in the chairing, that he im-
mediately left the town, accompanied by Mr. Wrangham,
without being chaired, or thanking his supporters ; since
which he has made two unsuccessful attempts to get into Par-
liament, one for Radnorshire and the other for the borough of
Poole : the latter he petitioned against, but has abandoned it.
As such he is by no means popular in the borough. His per-
tinacious opposition to the Reform Bill, and his support of
every clause of the Poor-law Bill, has lost him a considerable
number of respectable supporters. He writes tales of fiction
well, and his chapters of contemporary history, like Murphy's
Almanack, has proved a bugbear, and erroneous. Whether
this gentleman will be permitted to walk into the House of
Commons without opposition, remains to be proved ; and as
bribery is reduced in this borough full 75 per cent., with no
coercion beyond some half dozen voters from either Peer, Lord,
Squire or Parson, an eligible opportunity offers to any aspirant
to so honourablo and distinguished a station.—Your's respect-
fully, A CONSTANT READER.
EIGHT O'CLOCK, r. have just heard that the Freemen
are meeting, and signing a requisition to John Bagshaw, Esq.
or to Mr. Ellice.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,--An advertisement having appeared in the papers of
this day under the title " London, Paris, and Hamburgh
Asphalte Company," stating that Messrs. Latlitte, Blount,
and Co., are the bankers of that Company in Paris, I shall be
obliged to you if you will do me the favour to state that their
names were inserted without their knowledge, and that they
have no connection whatever tlith that Company.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
EDWARD BLOUNT.
