CARLISLE ELECTION.

CARLISLE, DEC. 27.—1 told you last week that
Sir William Scetr, of Ancram, had issued an address
to the freemen, pledging himself to come forward as
a candidate for the honour of representing the City -
in Parliament. The Baronet arrived in town on
Monday evening; but as he found great difficulty in
procuring an agent, he did not commence his canvass -
nntil this morning. Mis stuccos amongst the
freemen, I am given to understand, has been very.
indifferent ; and I believe he already begins to
despair of success. Our Corporation having had
their cue from their Recorder, the Earl of Lenedale,
in public keep studiously aloof from the worthy-
Baronet, though there esu be no doubt hie present..
attempt is looked upon with a fuvourable:eee by the
weal Northern Boroughmoegcr. Policy, however,
induces him and his tad to affect indiffettnee : 6.1
are aware that were they openly to espoae the
Baronet's cense, their unpopularity wonld einit It .
meet degreee below Zero. Another candidata he.
rived this morning somewhat unexpectedly, Mu-.
Aglionby, the Barrister. His politics are under-
stood to be Retell; but, as he has not condevended
to issue an address, all is left to conjecture upon this:
point. Mr. Aglionby may depend upon it secrecy,
will nor avail him : whatever may be his sentiments` -
openness and candour are the best policy. Remount_
gains ground that Mr. Lawson will yet offer him'.
golf ; I hope this may r-uvu trze; and if so, he will -
speedily leave all competitors at an immestsurrable
distance. He is an independent and noble spirited
gentleman, and a very great favourite in this city.
Sir James Graham, Bart. has concluded his elinVii,l6
for the County, and a most successful one it has been.

TO THE FEEHMEN OF canunts.

Sir Win. Scott, without giving any public declaration
of his principles, but under a new colour, will this day
canvass your votes. If you wish to learn what Le is, !wit
him the following questions:—
Did he not, on the dect'l of Sir Philip Binsg"rave,
slate with Lord Lowthrr for his Lordship's yellow teat in
C irliFlc ?

Was he not then out-bid by a certain Nabob, and in nott-,.
sequence postponed till another vacancy should oixar?
Has he net, sinee Mir James °rah:lnes resignation, re
soloed his negotiations with Lord Lowther; and did 14,
not come here upon the strength of my Lord's interest?
Put these questions lmmit to him, Freemen.—Yon !nisi
a Meotsman to deal with--do not let him &wry the city
under false colours. Melte him declare himt.4f at all events.
'Then, if you wish for Two Yellow Lowther Members to
revrtfent yea, elect him, and much good may be do you.,
STRAIGHT-FORWARD.

TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,--You were kind enough, a great man)
months since, to insert in your Paper a letter frotr
" A Mother." Having had reason to believe it 'muds
some impression, I wish, through the same medium,
to call the eyes of the public to an evil which May
even be more baneful to young ladies than their
grooms riding by their sides. I allude tc the tote'
want of police-officers in so extensive a place at
Hyde-park. A few years since, scenes of the mos,
disgraceful nature continually occurred there, whist
roused the indignation of some gentle Men, and I -
believe Lord Sydney, the ranger, was addressed -
upon the subject; afterward=, several police-ofscers
were constantly parading the different
.walks and
dusters of trees, and in consequence of their vigi-
lance, the pink became a proper promenade for the
young and innocent members of families who 41,4

policemen thought the different classes who oonti,
need in town too plebeian to have their 6,;:;Dtcy
shocked or their feelings outraged, and gradually
ceased that attendance which I hare never since ob-
served them to resume, although I much doubt
whether their diminished labour was accompanied
by an equal diminution of their salariete—thisavauldi
indeed, be someth;ng extraordinary!! I For many
moetha have I noticed growing evils throughout the
whole range of the pal k; bet my feelings arid fessa as
a parent have been more particularly excited by an oe<
currence which took place yesterday, between twelve
and two in the forenoon. My children were taking
their usual wall:, attended by their nurse. and Lad
reached the Serpeutino liver, when they were Al
stressed, and found themselves pursued, by a man
its labouring attire, who was, or pretended. to be,
insane, and used the most frightful gestures, with •
violent language and loud maniac laughter. one .
gentleman passing observed the conduct of the
madman, and to' his kind exertions I attribute the
escape of my children. He endeavoured to hold the:_
umn while they fled, by his advice, with as rovell•
speed as their terror would permir. That gentle-
man, I It nst, may see this letter, and through it
receive the warmest assurances of gratitude from nof
family and myself, for his manly and generensaesistw
mice. His strength, however, we suppose, was in-',
sufficient to restrain the maniac,: who soon twjr.i
pursued them at a distance, nntil they nearly reached.
the lodge. 'rho unproLocted state of the park calls
loudly for the interference of the proper authorities.'
Young girli sad children can only there seek air and
exercise,—where, then, can they procure these
blessings if our parks are infested by the lawleee 104.,
abandoned ? We all have reason to complain of the
want of police in- our streets. No metropolis per
more extravagantly, and none can be wore !Oleo&
ed. But let the barrier, which shireld never be with
drawn, between virtue and vice, be strictly ol.serrea,
and kept in those paths where the youthful can stun',,
seek that health which is lost by confinement. Titi.ll.
statement will, I trust, obtain the notice which anY
appeal of the kind, however humble, merits,
snot
should it do so, you will, Mr. Editor, not be
troubled with a letter upon this subject from
Dec. 29, ISM ANOTHER.
