TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—ln your report of last night's debate it is stated
that `• No, do " was the answer to Mr. Roebuck
when he said I had published the despatch moved for
by General Wyndham and Mr. Disraeli.
My letter to you is accurate. Look at the garbled,
cooked extracts from that memoir given as a return to
Mr. Disraeli's motion, the memoir in extenso being
refused on public grounds. The " No, no ! " must
therefore have been applied to some other document—
eomething new ; and. the ridiculous conduct of Lord
Panmure and his colleagues remain intact.
W. NAPIER, Lieutenant-General.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Daring the las t
few days some additions has been produced, and among
them the criminal Bacon, lately convicted at Lincoln
for the murder of his mother. The likeness of this con-
vict is most faithful, and he is placed with the figures of
Palmer and Dove, fit companions for such an individual.

discussion took place as to the eligibility of candidates.
John Bright was proposed and seconded, and after that
Mr. Att wood proposed, as an amendment, the substitu-
tion of the name of Mr. Baron Webster, son of a gentle-
man well endowed in this neighbourhood, of good and
liberal principles. The majority, upon show of hands,
was decidedly in favour of John Bright. There is no
doubt that both candidates will be brought to the poll.
To-day will disclose the intended proceedings of the
Conservatives.
THE PRETENDED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE LOUIS NA-
routoN.—We quote, with much gratification, an able
article on this subject from the last number of the Satur-
day Retina. We believe there is not an intelligent per-
son in this country, from the Queen, whose guest the
alleged intended victim is to be to-morrow, down to the
humblest of her subjects, who does not firmly believe
thae the whole affair has been got up in the hope of
making Ledru Rollin the real victim, in revenge for the
• fatal blow he has given to French Imperialism, by the
triumph which the distinguished refugee achieved in the
Paris elections. But Louis Napoleon and his unscru-
I pulous myrmidons have been caught in the trap which
, they had laid for Ledru Rollin. They have been taken
in their own craftiness. The infamy with which they
I hoped to load the name of the leader of the French Re-
publicans has attached to their own names. Ledra
Rollin stands higher in this country, and will every-
, where become more popular, than ever ; while they
. will be compelled to crawl out of the affair covered
. with the world's contempt and booted by its excavations.
