AYLESBURY ELECTION.
AILESBURY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9.—The town during
the day has been r-markably quiet, and but for the ap -
Pearance of a number of boys bearing placards, inscribed
" Bethell for ever," and " Ferrand and Protection," &c., no
Person would imagine that a great contest was about to take
Place between the supporters of Free-trade and the friends of
Protection.
Notwithstanding the apparent want of excitement, there
can be no doubt that a severe struggle is expected, and both
parties appear confident of success. The general impression,
?tOrrever, appears to be that the principles of Free• trade will
be triumphant, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions
Inade by the Protectionists.
In the course of the day Mr. Bethell has visited the dis-
tricts of Hartwell, Stone, Denton, and Haddenham, where
we believe his canvass has been very successfu'.
„kr. Ferrand has been employed in canvassing the voters in
Lae districts of Risborough and Haddenham.
_
he
nomination will take placa at eleven o'clock tomor-
row, at the County-hall.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
?'ll4—MY attention has been drawn to a paragraph in
'.our paper of last night, copied from the lionolulu Times, to
Hat effect that five white men bad been seen by the Russians
150 miles south-east of Point Barrow; will you allow me to
a_uggest the probability of these being the exploring party
Ll°Nr employed in the neighbourk.od of the Mackenzie,
under the command of Commodore Pullen, R.N. ?
