MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN.

Slll,--I had but just returned from Brentford when The
Sun of this evening was put into my hands ; and though in
same degree acquainted with the celerity of the public press,
I could not have believed, had I not seen, your report, the
possibility of putting in print, in so short a time, such a full
and accurate report of the speeches and proceedings this day
at Brentford. As one of the parties concerned, I offer you
my thanks for the extraordinary exertions made on this occa-
sion, so highly creditable to your Establishment.
I remain, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JOSEPH HUMS.

EAST SURREY ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Allow me to add my thanks to those of my late Col-
league for the remarkable accuracy, and unexampled dispatch
which characterized the publication of the proceedings at our
recent nomination at Croydon.
I feel that public men and their country, especially in times
like these, are so deeply indebted to the impartiality of the
Press, that I cannot withhold this feeble tribute of my respect
and admiration.

I hare the honor to be, Sir,

your obedient Servant,
10, lidward-street, Jan. 17. I. J. BRISCOR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—l cannot but return you my thanks for the extraor-
dinary expedition and correctness with which you have re-
ported the proceedings at the East Surrey Nomination to-day,
in your Evening Paper. I had not thought it possible it
could have been out in the Evening Papers.
I remain, your obedient servant,
A. W. I3EAUCLERK.

keeliers‘hatl good reasou-t-oJear-and though last not least,
through the vindictive opposition of a brother of Mr. Finn,
the -Member for„ Kilkenny. Vigors was chosen in 1832
in preference-to Mr. Finn ; and the latter gentleman's rela-
tives think that a sufficient justification of the support they
have'given-on the present occasion to a Tory candidate.
They /nay be good:haters but they are bad patriots; who.
would be. capable of such influence cn such an occasion.
• Several Reformers of the last Parliathent have retired,
but their places for the most part are supplied by better
men. Thus Mr. O'Loghlen represents Dungarvon in the
place of Mr. Jacob ; Sergeant Perrin has been electedd-for
Cashel in the place of Mr. Roe ; Mr. Sharman Crawford
for Dundalk in the place of Mr. O'Reilly.; Mr. Bridgman
for Ennis in the place of Mr. MticNaniara, an officer .of
Hussars ; and Mr. OtwayCave for Tipperary in the place
of Mr. O'Callaghan, ditto. All these are decided advan;
tages to'the popular side ; and there will be many more ac-
quisitions of the same description to be recorded before the
final. close of these elections. .

The re-election of Mr. Dobbin for Armagh against the
whole power of the Primate and the long purses of the
Orangemen, is an important victory. So is Mr. Talbot's
triumph in New Ross. On the whole, Ireland will do her
duty, and show by the returns to the King's Writ, what
opinion she entertains of the last coup dela.'
The peaceful demeanour of the people at all the
-elections, " whether they win or lose the game," is truly
admirable. There have been no nutrageous assemblages of
the mob—no attempts to obstruct the passage of voters or
insult the candidates. The people feel that the destiny of
their country depends upon the issue of this contest, and
they await it in an attitude of solemn and intense anxiety.
The only place at which we have heard of the electors
acting in a ruffianly and violent manner, is that nursery of
all that is learned, polite, amiable and pious—Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin. •
