(raoas A CORP.ESPONDEN7.)
On Saturday, it being market day at Croydon, IV .
Alcoes?s Committee appointed a meeting to be
held
the Town-hall, and, soon .affer'two o'clock, the LibM.elal
.candidate,,accompanied by G.'R. Smith, Esq.,
S. Palmer, Esq., Mr. Palmer, jug., W. Coates.
C. Temple, Esq., the. Rev. Mr. Courtney, J. Curt • .
Esq., and several other genticmcn entered the ht•!!,
which was crowdCd to excess.
Upon the motion of. Mr. PALMER, the Rev. 11;
Cow tney was called to. the Chair,...,apd the RevereL"
Gentleman briefly addressed the meeting, and said that
being placed in that situation ho should- reserve a right
to himself of addressing' a few observations to the elec-
tors on the cause of the meeting.—(Hear, hear.)
Some confusion was here created by a man C.mning
into the hall, with 'one of Mr. Antrobus's placards on a
board, and it was not until he was ejected, that orciv
was restored.
Mr. Curium then moved a resolution to the effect,
that the present vacancy in the representation of Eist
Surrey should, in the opinion of the meetit g. be filled
by a gentleman favourable to those principles of progres-
sive reform, upon which alone the Government of the
country aught to be carried on.—(Cheers.)
G. R. SMITII, Esq., M.P., seconded the resolution,
and said that although in some respects he differed in
political opinion with his friend Mr. Alcocic, yet he
telt satisfied that be was solely actuated by a desire to
benefit his country, and he would therefore give him Iris
support.—(Cheers.)-
Mr. ALCOCK theta addressed the electors, and said
that his opponents had dared him to attend any meet-
ing in the country parts of the county, because they
said his opinions upon the Corn-laws being calculated to
ruin the agricultural interest, would cause him to be
scoffed at. He had, however, taken the hull by the
horns—(Laughter)—he had come down to Croydon to
meet the farmers, and he hoped to be able to satisfy
them that he had no desire to injure them at all, but,
on the contrary, to do them good.—(Cheers.) They

CAPITAL. RUN VITA THE CHESHIRE Fox 1101:NOS.
This old-established and excellent pack met on Saturday
the 23d of January, at Acton village, near Nantwich. As
usual at this fixture, there was a very good field, increased
on this occasion by the anxiety of many to avail themselves
of the first favourable opportunity for hunting after the
frost. A fox was found about ens o'clock in the Ilurlestone
'Thorns, from whence he went to Dorfold, turned to the
right through Tally-ho Gorse, then through Baddiley,
leaving the canal on the right, into Sound, by Sound Hall,
over a part of Edleston, into Baddington and Broomhall,
passing Cool Pilate cover to the left, and running vary
near to Brooks Mill Rough, turning over the river
Weaver and the Liverpool and Birmingham Canal, he
ran up to the village of Audlem, whore he was viewed
cicse befo:e the hounds. Passing through the village,
the churchyard, and several gardens, he ran for Mr.
Baker's, of the flighfields, from thence near to 13uer-
ton Windmill. and up for \Voorc. Here he turned to the
left, leaving Pewit Gorse on the right, down for Hatherton
Heath, across Doddington Park, through \Valgherton
l'ool, turning again to the left down to the river. At this
paiod it became so very dark that the huntsman was com-
pelled to stop the hounds when they were running their
fox hard for Henkelow. J. Tomkinson, Esq., of Dor-
fold, was the only one besides Mlitlen, the huntsman,
that witnessed the finish of this excellent day's sport. The
run of this day, like others, pioves the stoutness of the
Woore country foxes. The distance from the kennels to
where the hounds were stopped was twenty-five miles ;
and, although neither of the whips were up, Maiden
brought every hound home with him. On his return past
Dorfo'd, he met with his second whip, and it was half-past
ten o'clock at night before they got home to the kennels
on the Forest.

C UT lON. An order was received at the Post-
cffice on Tuesday, which we trust will be frequently
repeated, to search every newspaper in order to sec if the
laws relative to the sending letters in this way was evaded.
We are sorry to hear, that an instance was discovered of
its being so, anti that a letter was found enclosed to
a re-
spectable firm in this town. Now this is really tr_oo bad,
after the Legislature has reduced the postage to an almost
nominal amount, and given the greatest boon ever known
to the mercantile classes, to endeavour to evade the pay-
ment of such a trifle by such a shabby manceuvre. The
penalties attached to a detection are heavy, and most pro-
per, and we can have no pity upon those who choose to
risk the diseavery.—llampshire Independent.

in consequence tot the numerous individuals having been altogether
relieved from deafness, they have become in general use. The
