permission to do so.—l remain, yours, very faithfully,

Copy of a letter from Lieut.-Colonel Pringle Taylor to
the Honourable William Hare.

23d January, 1846
My dear Hare,—l am much obliged to you for send-
ing me the printed correspondence between Mr. Mac-
kinnon and Mr. West.

The introeuction of my name by Mr. Mackinnon
in the letter he has circulated at Lymington, is really

annoying.
In that letter, he says to Mr. West that he was in-
formed by me that Mr. West called upon me, offered

me, offer me the seat, and urge me to come forward ;

and lamat a loss to imagine what Mr. Mackinnon
could be thinking of when he said that I informed him
that he did so.
The only communication that I had with Mr. Mac-
kinnon about the borough was in May, 1843, when he
condoled with me on the recent death of Colonel; and I

Shedden's very decided conduct on the occasion.—He
replied, I don't know why West should be so hostile to me.
I had not mentioned Mr. West's name, having pur-.
posely abstained from doing so, and his being thus named
first by Mr. Mackinnon did at surprise me, but only for a

brief moment, as I instantly recollected that Mr. West's
course had been open and above board; that he had him-
self formally applied, in writing, to the
Carlton, for a
candidate acceptable to that party, to replace Mr.
Mackinnon; and I at once saw that that application, as
1 affecting Mr. Mackinnon 's interests so nearly, must, as a
matter of course, have been communicated to him by
those to whom it was addressed.
I feel it necessary to transmit copies of this commu-
nication both to Mr. Mackinnon and Mr. West.—l re-
main, my dear Hare, yours most sincerely,

We are assured that Earl Talbot has signified his in-
tention to give his cordial support to the measures proposed
by Sir Robert Peel. Lord Talbot, we believe, farms from
1,500 to 2,000 acres of land, chiefly arable. It is confidently
reported that Lord Talbot, foreseeing that his avowed senti-
ments may not be acceptable to the Staffordshire Agricul-
tural Protection Society, of which he is president, has signi-
fied a wish that this dice may be entrusted to other hands.—

since, having, when off Margate, got on shore, during her

being in a leaky state, been obliged to return to the West
India Docks, where her cargo, consisting of British produce
and manufactures, will be re-landed, to enable her to go into
dry dock 0 be repaired, previously to resuming her voyage.
