think it right that your opponents should know, that in
compquerine of represPntations that were made to myself
"'. • • • ;t•

s that were cntortitin,,d on this
other quarters, I certainly authorised a sir. n;; remon-
strance being made to you, and endeavoured by every
means in my power to dissuade you from coming for-
ward as a candi:late.—l am, yours truly,
" H. TUFNELL."
He wished to know if the letter was written in his
official capacity—also the grounds on which he wrote it
—(Cries of " Oh! oh!")—and whether it was written
with the cognizance of the Noble Lord at the head of
the Governri?nt, the author of the Reform Bill?
(" Oh! oh!' and laughter.)
Mr. TUFNELL said, in reply to the question of
the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorsetehire, be
had to state that the letter was a correct copy of
a private communication which he bad addressed
to Lord Melgund.—(Loud cheers.) As soon as he
found it had been published in a local newspaper,
he wrote to Lord Melgund, expressing his surprise that
a private communication should have found its way into
the columns of a newspaper—(Hear, hear)—for the ar-
guments used in it were only those which one friend
would not hesitate to address to another.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord G. BENTINCK inquired what the term " Go-
vernment influence" in the letter meant, and also the
statement that his opponents should know the reasons
which induced him to stand, and the remenstrance
which he (Mr. Tufnell) had used to dissuade him.
Mr. HUME interposed. He thought if the time of the
House was to be wasted in private matters, that the
public business would be materially retarded.—(Hear,
hear.) It might be the Noble Lord's turn by and by
to be entrusted with the Government—(Laughter)—and
he would then find that if every private matter of a similar
kind was brought before the House that he would have
enough to do.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BANKES explained that he put the questions to
the Hon. Gentleman, as the letter had appeared in a
public newspaper.
The matter then dropped.

the running jointly, followed by Keeley, the others lying
up with them, but, after the first quarter of a mile, with
no chance of the race, Vert Vert failed at the corner of
the plantations, where Keeley went up to Ellen Home,
deprived her of the lead in a few strides, and won by a
couple of lengths, Kimblesworth a bad third. Black

win with lodine. lodine made strong running, followed
by Teetotum and Woodcraft, nothing else after the
first quarter of a mile, having the slightest chance. The
three leading horses ran in company to the cords, where
they closed, and made a splendid finish, lodine winning
by a neck, and the same between the second and third,
the rest tailed ofE Run in 1 minute 12 seconds.
With so meagre a list, opposed, too, by such powerful
attractions at Cambridge, it is scarcely necessary to say
that the company on the heath was more than usually
select, even for a July meeting, or that speculation
was dull almost beyond precedent.

PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSE FUND.—Monda y evening
the sixth annual meeting of the Subscribers the
Printers' Almshouse Fund was held at the
Institute, Southampton-buildings. T. S. Duncombe,ni
Esq., M.P., took the chair at half-past eight o'clock and
having opened the business of the meeting in a short
speech explanatory of the object of the institution, the
secretary, Mr. J. Darkin, read the report, which was of
an extremely satisfactory nature; in the course of which
it was stated that the committee had so far progressed
in the preliminary, arrangements as to have selected an
eligible plot of ground at Wood-green, Tottenham, it
only requiring the sanction of the meeting to conclude
the purchase. The funds now in hand amount, after
deducting the expenses of management for the current
year (only 270, to 2,0101. 7s. 3d. The complete transfer
of the land would be effected for about 4501., and the
erecting of six almshouses, to accommodate twelve in-
mates would be completed at a further outlay
of 1,5001. At the end of the report a goodly list
of subscriptions was announced, amongst which was a
third donation of 21/. from Messrs. Clowes, 10 guineas
from James Harmer, Esq., 10 guineas from Messrs.
Ilarrild and Sons, &c. A resolution empowering the
Committee to purchase the site anil proceed to the erec-
tion of the almshouses, was unanimously carried, with
the addenda, on the suggestion of the chairman (Mr.
Duncombe), after severely commenting on the recent
rejection by the Lords, of the non-separative clause in
the English Poor-law Bill, that accommodation be pro-
vided for twelve pensioners " and their wives." Thanks
having been accorded to the various officers, and the
chairman of the evening, which was duly acknowledged,
the meeting broke up. A well-executed design of the
proposed asylum, executed by W. Webbe, Esq. (the
architect of the adjoining asylum for the fishmongers
and poulterers), was exhibited to the subscribers as-
sembled, which was left for the consideration of the
committee in their future arrangements.
