NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SLECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—Disraeli's minority, and the result of the South Notts
election, are evidences of the distressed state of the farmers.
Disraeli's motion also proves how unable or unwilling he is
to point out the real cause of the evil anything more wild
and visionary than Disraeli's remedies cannot be imagined.
Sir James Graham again puts his finger on the blot—" I
tell the country gentlemen that if they seek to operate
through the medium of the currency, they must go much
farther than the Bank Act of 1844."

Will neither of these men speak out? Then the people
" out of doors" must make them. And this, with the diffi-
culties daily rising up in increased magnitude before one, it is
my humble bat sincere endeavour to urge upon the people.
Many thanks for your continued and patriotic support of
our unpopular cause. It is advancing, it will prevail. But
what unnecessary accumulation of suffering, distress, and
ruin must this country go through before it can be brought to
see where the remedy is to be found I
A farmer naturally regards his landlord as the greatest
man in the county, and in ordinary times will do anything
For him. What pres•ure of distress, there', re, must there
have been to to(ce the tenants to join the small freeholders
in this county in resisting the Dukes of Portland and New-
castle, the Earls of Chesterfield, Scarborough, and Manvers,
Lord Miduleton (all very large landed proprietors), Earl
Howe, and nearly every county gentleman in the division,
sad to prevail!

I intend to try to batter down the bugbear of " Deprecia-
tion of the currency." We don't wish to injure the credit or
interest ; it might be affected in some degree, but I believe
that all interests wauld ultimately be greatly benefited.

It is said that the aristocracy have sustained a defeat in
South Notts. Not at all—the Barrowninl interest has pre-
vailed.

OPENING OF THE WESTERN AREA OF ST. PAUL'S
ICHURCH-YARD TO THE PUBLIC - (THIS MORNING).-At
nine o'clock this (Monday) morning the area in front of St.
Paul's Cathedral at the top of Ludgate-hill was opened to
the public, by order of the Dean and Chapter. Many per-
sons availed themselves of the privilege, of promenading
within the enclosure, and of inspecting at leisure the ela-
borate details of the noble structure. Three gates are thrown
open for the ingress and egress of visitors, and two police-
men have been appointed to keep order. The narrow end
of the wedge has thus been inserted through the agency of
Mr. Barber, of St. Paul's Church-yard, and it is to be hoped
that eventually the whole of the area, as proposed by that
gentleman, will be opened to the public, both equestrian and
pedestrian.
