TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—My attention has been drawn .to a paragraph in
your paper of the sth inst., announcing a contest for the
county of Hereford, in consequence of the death of
Joseph Bailey, E.q , our highly respected representa-
tive. Ido not know who your informtot msy be, but
as the Parliamentary agent of Mr. Bailey, I am most
happy to be enabled to state that he is not only living,
but that his friends and constituents have every hope
that he may be reitored to health, and his useful and
valuable services continued to them. I need not say
that the canvass of the county is a fabrication. I shall
be obliged by your inserting this contradiction in your
Hereford, July 6, 1850.
Paper. Yours obediently,
NICHOLAS LANWARNE.

take place in the grounds of this establishment in the course
of the week. To-day and to-morrow a Scottish fete is an-

balloon is to ascend at night. If the weather is fine, such a

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1850.

The young man has already been condemned to two
months' imprisonment for having followed people in
the streets with a double-barn:llrd pistol, threatening
their live s. It is considered that his mind is unsound.

ZSA BERMUDEZ, who we.s Minister of Spain at
the death of FERDINAND VII., and to whose exertions
CHRISTINA was indebted for her appointment to the
Regency, died at Paris on Friday.
The electoral lists for Paris, under the new law,
are published. The number of electors for Paris is
74,000 ; under the old law they amounted to 224,000.
Tne Corstitutionnel has tlw following from Monte
Video, dated April 8 :
_ .

" The Arehimaede steamer and the Pomone and Ze-
nob e steam-frigates have beep, here several days. It is
difficult to judge of the effect which the news brought
from France by these vessels will have on the minds of
the population, for the resolutions of the French Govern-
ment were but imperfectly known. Monte Video has
remained in the same state since the conclusion of the
armistice, but the number of inhabitants is each day be-
coming smaller. The population appears to have the
utmost desire to get out oF the distress caused by the war
which has so long ravaged it. On April l(►, Admiral
Lep- b lour embarked on board the Archimede for Buenos
Ares, accompanied by the agents of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and a part of his staff."

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived.

The Casiella frigate has been dispatched to Naples to
bring home the Duke of Rivas, the Spanish Ambas-
sador, who had orders to demand his passports and
return, should the King of NAPLES refuse to break
off the proposed match between his sister and the
Count of MONTEMOLIN. NARVAEZ speaks in the
most energetic terms of the ingratitude of King
BOMBA. who, but for the aid of the troops of Queen
TsaueLta, would last year have been dethroned by the
Republicans. The Ministers declare that King
BOMBa is acting in concert with Russia in this
matter.

A rumour was current in Madrid that the Emperor
of RUSSIA. was about to visit England for the purpose
of " frowning down" Lord PALMERSTON ; that
NICHOLAS should, after the failure of ABERDEEN,
STANLEY, and Co , in Parliament, and of GUIZOT
and the St. Leonard's clique out of it, endeavour
himsdf personally to dictate to the English people
who should or who should not be Minister, we readily
believe, but we are also certain, that should he make
the attempt he will meet with such a reception as will
at once open his eyes to the impolicy and the
absurdity of his conduct. The Alien Act is ap-
plicable " to all foreigners"who attempt to interfere in
the internal concerns of the nation.
