THE LIBERAL ELECTION COMMITTEE FOR THE RETURN
OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL, JAMES PATTISON, ESQ., SIR
GEORGE LARPkNT, AND BARON LIONEL DE ROTHS-
C HILD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
AStatement addressed to you by the Committee
for conducting the City Election on behalf of the Conservative
candidates clumsily conceals distress and weakness unler misrepre-
sentation.
The intemperate language used by gentlemen who presented them-
selves at the General Conservative Meeting, while it indicated that
sense of insecurity which usually vents itself in abuse contained dis-
creditable imputations against the Liberal candidates, to which this
Committee felt they could not appropriately reply, without some de-
parture from that self-respect which they have determined to make
ilte;r rule of conduct.
When these imputations aro reduced to the more deliberate form of
an official address, however, they feel it due, not only to the general
body of the Constituency, but to the intelligent and respectable
portion of the Conservative electors, to give such an explanation of
their position as will show that this Committee are not insensible to
the responsibility they have undertaken.
The unvarying support which the great majority of the citizens of
London have given to the cause of Reform is matter of history.
The change in the franchise created by the Reform Bill produced
additional evidence of the predominance of those opinions in the
return of exclusively Liberal representatives for the whole metro-
politan constituencies. From that period until the general election
of 1841, London uniformly returned to Parliament four Liberal re-
presentatives; until, from peculiar circumstances, unconnected with
the general current of party politics, an equal division of the repre-
sentation took place.
Did the Conservatives rest satisfied with this arrangement? Did
Mr. Russell Ellice, whose name is attached to that manifesto of
moderation with which his recent objurgations have indicated so
little sympathy, acquiesce in the viol!p he now enunciates ? Were
he and his party contented to permits% 11114!g vacancy to be filled up
by a Reform candidate ? No—when 'hey considered either that the
advantage of their position, or the state of the register, warranted
them in placing a third candidate in the field, they di I not hesitate
to venture into the lottery of an election, upon data as fallacious as
the ground oe their present hopes. Against the most powerful and
socially influential candidate, and the most unscrupulous use of the
sinister agencies of every protected interest of the reigning Govern-
ment, and of the aristocracy, whose monopoly was perilled in the
contest. Mr. Pattison, in 1843, aided by nothing but his principles
and the party predilections of the constituency, was returned by a
majority sufficiently indicative of the predominance of Liberal opi-
nions in the city of London.
Have any circumstances occurred since which would warrant the
inference that the Reform interest has retrograded and is no longer
in the ascendant?
From the hour of Mr. Pattison's triumph this Committee have in-
cessantly " fought the battle of the Constitution in the Registration
Courts," and with such success, that not from the vague calculations
and presumptions of an electioneering agent, founded confessedly
upon the state of the register in 1843, but upon an actual canvas of
those electors whose opinions were Liberal or unascertained, corn-
ix.enced and completed within the last six months, they are fully
warranted in the assurance to which they have pledged themselves,
that on the present register there is a large majority of Liberal
electors.
In the knowledge of such facts, and in the face of the past pro-
vocation wantonly offered to them by the opposition to the return of
Mr. Pattison, this Committee felt they would have altogether pros-
tituted the purposes for which the representative system was en- ,
trusted to the people by the constitution, if they had deprived the
constituency of the power of retrieving their character from the
anomaly of placing the community of the greatest city of the world
in a state of utter political negation.
With the proceedings of this Committee, founded on these views,
an attempt is tow made invidiously to connect Lord John Russell, on
no other foundation than that that great statesman is the deliberate
and first choice of the Liberal electors.
The Committee regard, with great complacency, an imputation of
arbitrary intolerance, based solely on the fact that no other alterna-
tive was ever offered to them than a contest, or the peremptory de-
mand of the concession of nothing less than au equal division of the
representation betwixt a Liberal majority, and a not very formi-
dable Conservative minority. When some organic machinery is ,
discovered by which it shall be found either expedient or practicatde
to redneeth e representative system to fractional rules of prop:titian,
it will beti me enough to consider the reasonableness of the propo-
sition to have the minority represented by ene candidate, and the
majority by another.
With regard to the allusions contained in the Conservative address
to the relation in which the Prime Minister is alleged to stand to-
wards one of the other candidates, it is sufficient to reply that Baron
Rothschild is the candidate, not of Lord John Russell, but of the con-
stituency ; and that while this Committee regret that departure from
the ordinary amenities of political warfare, which indecently at-
tempts to implicate the first Minister of the Crown, in the proceed-
ings peculiar to the tactics of contested elections, they are prepared
to take the exclusive responsibility of recommending for the suffrages
of their fellow citizens a gentleman whose unsullied private cha-
racter and exalted commercial station, alike qualify him to be the
=presentative of the greatest mercantile eity in the world. That he
is also the symbol of a great principle will not be regarded as a dis-
qualification for the enjoyment of the equal rights of the free citizens
of a free country by the generous and just-minded people of
England.
This Committee receive with cordiality the assurance that, among
the high-minded gentlemen whom they are proud to recognise in the
ranks of their opponents, " Lord John Russell has been treated with
perfect respect by the Conservatives of London." To these they con-
fidently appeal against the viilent language in which it has not been
considered inconsistent with the character of gentlemen to assail the
motives of the Prime Minister in reference to this contest. His la-
borious public duties, and his official position, by leaving him de-
fenceless, ought to have spared him the indignity of such attacks.
But the whole body of the Liberal electors feel constrained to ask
their Conservative fellow-citizens whether the following report of a
speech delivered at the London Tavern is consistent with those pre-
fessions of " perfect respect" for Lord John Russell which are so
lavishly effused in the address of their Committee :
"The Prime Minister had associated himself with a gentleman he
knew could not take his seat for the purpose of getting funds to carry
on the contest."
When it is added that the name attached to this unworthy and un-
founded insinuation is that which subscribes the address containing
these claims to the credit of " treating Lord John Russell with per-
fect respect," the public will be at no loss to appreciate either the
good taste of the speech, or the sincerity of the document.
In conclusion, the Committee leave it to the sound sense of their
fellow-citizens of all opinions to decide upon the relative merits of
the candidates before them, persuaded that the comparison must
attach them to those whose political consistency, moderation, posi-
tion, and qualifications most eminently fit them to represent the vast
and varied interests of the city of London.

by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the

with-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
the small or extended spaoe in' wbieh the machine moves, thereby
by means of elastic springs contracts, or expands, according to
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle'
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated

them, who professed to be Reformers and Radio:als,

man whose public and private conduct placed hi=
above all suspicion of corruption. Lord D. Stuart,
whilst in Parliament, courted neither the Minister
nor popularity. Mr. Harvey had always courted the
latter, and habitually complained that his success in
that quarter had gained him no favour in the other.
He complained for years that he was only a loser by
his disinterested affection to the public, and the
Minister gave him a low and unpopular situation of
8001. a year, to get rid of his services and hie
importunities together. If he had been of
use to the Government and to the people
both had a right to complain of him, as much as his
other two clients at Colchester, whom he had served
in the same way and closed his accounts with—by a
strange coincidence—for the same sum, 8001. The
Whigs were again in office. Mr. Harvey's unrivalled
eloquence and undoubted popularity might again be
useful to them ; and if the Radicals of Marylebone
assisted him he might then, in the course of a few
months, retire from public life, in the enjoyment of
that reward to which his desires ever pointed, and his
past votes deserved—a high paid office where he
would be able to be attended by servants in livery,

said that Lord D. Stuart, in supporting Poland,
supported only the aristocracy. That was a
deplorable error, which it was the policy of
Nicholas and Bentinck, Disraeli and Peter
Borthwick, and the un-English "friends of the
people" who now disturbed that meeting, to
propagate, in favour of that tyranny which they
loved in common, for the tyranny of despot and mob
were, if not identical, at least kindred and sympa-
thetic. The cause of Poland was more the cause of
England than was generally understood in England.
The rest of the civilized world knew it well, and at
that moment Lord D. Stuart was looked upon by all
the freemen of Continental Europe, as the represen-
tative of European civilization against Russian bar-
barism. In France and Germany he was regarded as
the individual who in the name of freemen was the
chosen and the beloved champion of the Poles against
the infamous autocrat. The rejection of Lord D.Stuart
by Marylebone would be taken by the desponding
liberals of France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and
Russia, as a proof that Englishmen are indifferent to
the principles of high liberalism, and the election of
a place-hunter in his stead would confirm the noble
minded patriots of Eastern Europe in the opinion,
that the English are so mercantile in their nature, that
they prefer the man who makes merchandise even of
their votes.
The confusion which was all the evening indiscriba-
ble, was so great towards the end, that it was difft•

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
BROXBOURNE, SATURDAY.—This morning, at nine
o'clock, an inquiry was entered into at the Black Bull,
in this place, before Mr. Sworder, Coroner tor the
county, and a numerous jury, touching the death of
Thomas Parker, aged twenty-eight, the driver of the
engine, numbered 155, belonging to the Eastern Counties
Railway Company.
During the proceedings the following testimony was
furnished :
Thomas Horrold, a fireman in the employ of the aim•
pany, stated that yesterday (Friday) he was with de-
ceased upon the engine, about forty-five minutes past
eleven o'clock, at which time they were passing Manser's
bridge, near the junction of the Hertford with the Cam-
bridge line of railway. They were going to Wisbeach
with a luggage train. At the moment of passing the
bridge, which is technically denominated " a truss-
bridge," deceased and witness were talking together
about something being the matter with the feed pipe of
the engine. Deceased was reaching over the side of the
locomotive, in order to obtain a better view of the feed-
pipe, when the centre truss of the bridge caught him
and knocked him off the engine on to the line. In con-
sequence of the width of the wood work of the bridge,
which forms its main support, and which rises between
the up and down line of the rails, the deceased had not
room to tnrn out of the way of the engine, the wheels of
which passed over him, crushing him in a most frightful
manner. Medical assistance was procured without
delsy, but deceased was quite dead.
Mr. Gossee, surgeon, of this place, having stated the
nature of the injuries deceased had received, and that
they had caused death,
Samuel Barrow, an officer in the employ of the com-
pany, said that he saw the deceased lying between the
metals. There was not sufficient :pace for him to turn
out of the engine, because of the truss of the bridge
Liking up so much room.
By a Juror—Has there not been some other accident
at this bridge? Witness—Ye,, within the last twelve
months. At that time one of the servants at the com-
p ,ny had his legs cut off by the wheels of an engine.
Foreman—ls that man now alive? Witness—l be-
lieve he is. I saw him in the hospital.
CORONER—Do you think the bridge is dangerous?
Witness—l am sure it is; it ought to be altered.
Robert Reese, driver, in the employ of the company,
expressed a similar opinion as to the dangerous con
struction of the bridge. He, and others, had complained
of it, and now he (witness) and some of the other men,
had determined to memoralise the Board, so that it might
be removed. Deceased was a steady young man; he had
left a wife and two children.
The CORONER having summed up, the jury, after a
brief consultation, agreed to the following verdict:—
" We find that Thomas Parker was accidentally killed
by Manser's-bridge, on the Eastern Counties line of rail-
way; but before we separate we wish to give our opi-
nion, derived from the evidence in this case, that such
bridge is dangerous, and that it ought to be removed,
and we desire the coroner to send this our verdict to the
directors of the said line."
The CORONER agreed to do so, adding, that if no no-
tice was taken of it he should feel it to be his duty to
bring the matter before the Commissioners of Railways.

ST. JAMES'S THEATILE.—Mr. Mitchell Abe lessee of
this theatre, takes his benefit at the St. James's Theatre,
on Wednesday night next ; and if integrity and ability
—those rare qualities in a theatrical manager—he prized
by the publ►c, his benefit will be a benefit indeed.
Apart, however, from those considerations, the per-
formances will present the singular feature of the tragic
muse—Rachel—donning the buskin " for the nonce,"
and assuming the sock ; in other words, in a comic
part—that of Celimene, in Moliere's famous comedy,
•• Le Misanthrope." She will also appear as Virginie,
in the celebrated play of that name. The entertain-

tnents on this occasion will, therefore, be unique—no
such event having ever passed before in public ; end,
consequently, those who go there will have a treat of an
extraordinary nature. In every respect. for the high
character he bears, as well for the general excellence of
the performances he produces at this theatre, Mr. Mit•
chell is entitled to the patronage of the public.
