TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Observing a paragraph in the Times of yesterday,
purporting to give correct information respecting the probable
result of the struggle now commenced here between the
enemies of the people, alias monopolists, on the one side, and
the friends of the people, alias anti-monopolists, on the other,
which paragraph ends with a barefaced lie, to the effect that
—"Mr. Dashwood (the Liberal Candidate) has not been
accompanied by a single respectable man during his canvass,
but by factory children, poor deluded wretches in abnntlance,'
I think it as well to inform you of the real state of the
cue, and leave your readers to judge how weak must be the
cause that requires the aid of such gross and palpable false-
hoods to prop it up. Mr. Dashwood is accompanied on his
canvass by gentlemen of the first standing, and the largest pro-
perty of any in this town or neighbourhood; and though he
may not boast of ' having the company of many of
the gentlemen in black, whose interest it is to prop
" the Church in danger," he has in his train members of the
community of a far more useful class—.men of influence, who
are at all times ready to put their shoulders to the wheel when
the State coach requires it, and help it out of the " slough of
despond " in which it has of late, by the lukewarnmess of
the friends of Reform, and the never-ceasing, untiring perseve-
rance of the Tories, well nigh stuck fast. But the working men of
Lancaster are one and all for the onward movement, and cheap
bread is to them of far more importance than the support of
the Church in danger, which seems to be the only thought of
the two Conservative candidates. One thing you may depend
on, and that is, that either Mr. Green, or Mr. Marion, must
and will go to the wall. The enthusiasm for Mr. Dashwood is
real and gratifying in the extreme, and will only be increased
the more the nearer the day of polling is at hand.
Though the Times may speak sneeringly of " factory chil-
dren," and call them " poor deluded wretches," they are ne-
vertheless likely to find a Representative in the person of Mr.
Dashwood, whose pleasure it will be to advocate for these
" poor deluded wretches" a total change in the law relating to
Corn, which will, I hope, have the effect of filling the
bellies of these said factory children, and reducing
the taxes which so hardly press on the manufacturing popula-
tion in this and other counties, and though the Tory scribes
may write falsehoods, Tory Peers vomit spleen, Tory Peels
madden at the thought of a Repeal of these damning Corn-
laws, and Tory parsons in electioneering speeches forget the
prayer " Give us this day our daily bread "—spite of all these
Tory efforts, there is a spirit abroad that will most assuredly
disperse these Tory machinations, and " the voice of the
people " will with power shout aloud " Down, .down with the
Corn-laws ;" and the people will ultimately succeed.
Your insertion of these remarks, if at a.l likely to serve the
interest of the cause you and all good men have at heart—the
Repeal of the Corn-laws—will oblige yours respectfully,
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.

ELECTIONS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Bury St. Edmund's, Wednesday, June 16, 1841;
This day Mr. Horace Twiss, of boroughmongertng noto-
riety, attempted to enlighten the Suffolk farmers on the sub-
ject of the Corn-laws, in front of the Corn
.Exchange, Bury
St. Edmund's. A great many very respectable people as-
sembled, and Mr. Horace Twiss began by telling them that
there was a conspiracy in the north to ruin them ; that the
Government were weak enough to listen to the conspirators ;
that every farmer would have to sell all his stock ; that he
would not get the value of an old song for it ; and that they
would have to emigrate to Canada ; and that so intent were
her Majesty's Ministers on ruining absolutely the farmers, that
with that view they had arranged to alter the Timber Duties,
so that they could not get rid of the produce of the forests
they would have to clear there ! The lion. Gentleman met
with a cool reception, and after having proceeded thus far was
deserted by the farmerarwho exclaimed, as they went away,
" Trash!''" He's overdoing it," &c. He then went on to
fay that the alteration of the sugar duties would not benefit
the people, while it would ruin the planters and the negroes,
who produced it not only by the sweat of their brow, but by
their blood. There was no occasion for it, as, since the eman-
cipation, sugar had increased in quantity and decreased in price,
and was doing so every day ; that the Tories had given twenty
millions to emancipate the slaves, but that her Majesty's Mi-
nisters were doing all they could to encourage the odious sys-
tem of slavery !! Beyond this the endurance of the people
could not go. The falsehoods were too barefaced, even for
the most ignorant. One general shout of opposition was sent
forth, and continued till Mr. Horace Twiss was compelled to
make his bow amid the execrations of a large assembly. Mr.
Horace Twiss is the mouthpiece and protege of Lord Jermyn,
and Mr. Browne, shoemaker ; and aspires tobe the representa-
tive for Bury St. Edmund's. But a most disgraceful defeat
awaits
down will be to ensure the return of two Reform Gentlemen,
and the only good that he will de by coming
in the persons of Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Mr. Rowland Gar-
diner Alston, who have met with the greatest success in their
canvass.

HEREFORD, TUESDAY.—The canvassof 14. Clive and Mr.
Hobhouse has been most successful. Burr, the Tory, has no
chance. Upwards of 500 electors and freemen have promised
Clive and Hobhouse, and they are sure to be returned.
Burr was returned by nine only last time, and polled but
430 votes.

FINE ARTS.--We have been favoured with a
private view of a picture, executed in a new style of painting,
which, at this age of thirst for novelty and excitement, is
calculated, we think, to produce some sensation. The subject
is the Destruction of the Disobedient Prophet. The painting
exhibits a high proficiency in the great elements of the art,
but it displays
certain novel accessories of an extraordinary
character. It unites the realities of- sculpture with the
chiaro oscuro of the pictorial art. The exhibition is called
Kalorama ; but, if we had to define this new style of art, we
should call it Relievo Painting; the objects in the foreground
and middle distance being brought forward to the eye. The
effect, especially as regards water and forest scenery, which is
in some degree dioramic, is exceedingly agreeable and strik-
ing. It possesses that charm of reality
which, to be fully un-
derstood, must be seen, and cannot be adequately decribed.
There are some smaller pictures in the same style in this exhi-
bition, which occupies the rooms of the Water-colour Exhibi-
tion, in Old Bond-street. It is moreover rendered more
attractive by a dioramic painting of Roslin Chapel by moon-
light ; a grand historical painting, of colossal size, after the
best school of French art ; and a variety of select gems by the
old masters.
