INVITATION TO REPRESENT BOSTON.

(From the John Bull.)
The following correspondence Is sufficiently enter-
Alining and instructive, to have a place here
TO SAMUEL WELLS, ESQ.

" Boston, May 93, 1826

" Dear Sin—Knowing yott to be a real friend to freedom, we
take the liberty to request you, if so disposed, to appear among us
as a Blue Candidate; if not, should esteem it as a favour to re-
commend any, friend rf your's, as, through mismanagement, we
are without a leader. The town has been canvassed by two can-
didates (Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Heathente) one of our present
Members, Mr. Malcolm, being on the Corporation Interest, wbo
have not succeeded these 20 years.
" The custom of this borough is to present the freemen with
five guineas a vote. The number of voters 500. None but re-
sidents vote. The whole crpeuee will not exceed 8,0001. if
severely contested. There is very little doubt of success, if took
up with spirit.—Yours,
" FARNDON GROOM, ow THE PART Or FalinoM.
" Direct, Farndon Groom, jun., 134.,5t0n."
Mr. Wai.i.s returned the following answer
" TO MR. FARNOON GROOM, JUN.

"-Sts—ln answer to your letter, I beg leave to intern you, it
has long been my decided opinion, the electors require reforma-
tion much more than the elected. The borough of Boston con-
firma that opinion. Alen—Patriots, forsooth 1 !-..-who can reject
the services of* courageous avid upright representative like Cot..
J 011145014, in order to well themselves to any profligate adventurer
who happens to have the means of satisfying their cupidity, win,
I hope and trust, never have the honour of being represented by
any person who is a sincere friend to reform, and feels fur the un-
merited sufferings of the people.
" For myself, I can truly say, that although it is my most
anxious wish to have the opportunity of attempting to redress the
wrongs of my fellow-citizens in the noose of Commons, yet I
would rather become an inmate of a gravel-pit, or even endure
the debasing torture of a tread-mill, than find .myself the repre..
aentative of men who arc ready to sell themselves and their rowdy
fur five yalneas a-head.—Yoursy very obedittglih.
SAMUEL WELLS."

This is, perhaps, as curious and characteristic a display of the
real independence of the mum; or ray:lll(l4,as ever was made.

POLITENESS.—, beg your pArdon, sir, stud a
gentleman the other night in the pit Of the King's Theatre,
to a person whose hand he felt in his pocket, I be:
lieve you hare mistaken my pocket for your "I'
Dear me, how unfortunate,' replied the pickpocket,
who was elegantly dressed, 4, excuse my freedom, I am
particularly absent at. times." This he exemplified by
absenting himself immediately.

MR. BUCKINGHAM.

On Saturday a public meeting was held at the Thatched-house
Tavern, St. James's-street, the object of which was to raise a
subteriptiou to relieve (in some measure) Mr. Buckingham from
the distress which has been brought upon hint by the suppres-
aion of his paper, the Calcutta Journal, by the Indian Govern-
ment.

Lord Jorni R usanr., on taking the Chair, shortly addressed
the meeting. He stated, that having attentively listened to all
the evidence which had been given before the committee recently
appointed by the House of Commune, to inquire. into Mr. Buck-
ingham's case, the opinion, which he previously entertained of the
hardships suffered by that gentleman had been thereby strengthened.
The conduct of Mr. Buckingham, which had drawn upon him
the enmity of the Indian Government, so far from reflecting any
discredit upon him, was highly praiseworthy, and agreeable to
those examples of freedom which we were accustomed to admire
and hold up as worthy of imitation by others. Mr. Bucking-
ham's case was one which peculiarly called for the sympathy of
the people of this country, and that gentleman had a right to
expect support from all who were placed in a more fortunate
situation than himself. It was his deliberate opinion that there
was nothing in any one of the articles written by Mr. Bucking-
ham, and objected to by the Indian Government, which could
reflect the slightest stain on his character. ,

Mr. D. Kisrsrman stated, that Mr. Buckingham was at Pre-
sent involved in great embarrassments, owing to the suppression
of the Cakuttu jograce, froru'which he tout expected to derive
an income of 9,0001. a year, upon a fair valuation of the pro-
perty. Having had a personal intercourse with Mr. Bucking-
ham from the moment of his arrival' in - England, he could
undertake to say, that a more honourable or upright individual
did not kist. The honourable gentleman then moved, " that a
public subscription he opened for the relief of Mr. Buckingham."
Mr. Hosts: seconded the motion, which he said would afford
the public an opportunity of expressing. the. indignation which
was so generally felt against the despotic conduct of the Indian
Government towards Mr. Buckingham.
The resolution was carried.

After some observations byMr. HILL, Sir C. FORBES, and Sir
J. Done, a committee was appointed for managing the sub-
scription, and the meeting, which was highly respectable, se-
parated.

Mr. Brown, formerly one of the partners in the Windsor bunk,
which failed some years ago, and who, it was understood, had

a warrant of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy; for being unable
to accoust in a satisfactory manner for certain notes of that bank
which had been returned afterpsymenti and destroyed or cancelled,
this day appeared by habeas corpus, to apply to the Court for his
discharge.
The Loan Crime JosTim before he permitted him to state
his ease, inquired by what authority he haul sued oat the writ.
Mr. Brown said, he had himself sued it out.
The Loan CHIEF Jucrter..--Then you had no right to do so
tvitljout the authority of this Court, or of a Judge, anti must
therefore he remanded. _

Mr. Brown said, he was not aware that there was such a rule
in existence, and requested the Court %mild advise hint how to
proceed in forma pauperic.
The Lotto Clime dusver.--..-It i►► not the duty of the Court
to advise parties how to proceed, as by and by some person may
come 6n•ward to oppose them.
Mr. Drown said, that the solicitor to the commission was now
in Court; and as he had been so many years in confinement re-
quested the Court would hear his application.
The Loan Ctitnr JUSTICE.—At is impossible; the Court is
sorry you have been in custody so long, but cannot relieve you, as
you have obtained the writ of habeas corpus improperly. You
must be remanded.-
