AUCTIONEERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF. THE SUN.

yoar widely-circulated paper you will oblige me
by inserting the following statement :
" Presuming it is not generally known that, for some
time past, in this place and neighbourhood house-agents and
bailiffs (not being licensed auctioneers) have been in the habit
of selling goods by public auction, under distress for rent ; I
think the practice a hardship upon licensed auctioneers, and,
for my own part, have had doubts as to its legality."
In the hopes that at this time, when the intx rest of auc-
tioneers is undergoing an important change, this may meet
the eye of the Legislature.—l am, Sir, &c.,
JOHN HAWORTH, Auctioneer.

Maynooth, and
WEST KENT ELECTION.
f Ireland as Colonel Austin was elected yesterday, without opposi-
tion, to represent the Western Division of the county of
Kent in Parliament, in the room of Lord Marsham.
Col. AUSTIN, in returning thanks, announced himself
dasenaous
nt strenuous o
theus
Romanopposer of
Catholican y ge
clergy
too
hav-
ing done nothing to improve the College, or to clear it
from the profligacy that bad so long existed in it, while
they could raise large sums firm e support of agitation.
He also said that he was a supporter of the corn-
laws, and of protection to the agricultural interests.
He considered the present scale of protection quite ina-
dequate. He would not, however, pledge himself to the
adoption of any particular course, but would be guided
in his conduct as a Member of Parliament, by circum-
stances. With regard to the game-laws, he would not
say how he would act ; and with regard to the property-
tax, he would support any tax that pressed equally
upon those who were best able to pay.
The speech of the new Member was loudly cheered,
and a vote of thanks to the sheriff, Sir Moses Monte-
fibre, having been agreed to Vie electors separated.

EARLY CLOSIKG.—The Metropolitan Drapers' As-
sociation held a public meeting of the assistants of all trades
on Thursday evening, in Mr. Lawson's large room, Gower,
street, North. W. D. Owen, Esq., of
Great Coram-street,
was in the chair, supported by a deputation from the Central
Committee. Several excellent speeches were delivered, and
resolutions were unanimously agreed to, denouncing the evils
of the late hour system, expressing concurrence in the mea-
sures hitherto adopted by the Committee, and pledging the
meeting individually to aid, by every means
.in their power,
to promote the grand object for which they were assembled.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then carried by accla-
mation, and the meeting separated.

has arisen from boys who come to be bound apprentice not-being
able teread. and write, and who thereby plead their inability as an
excuse for not complying with the provisions of the Act of -Parlia-
ment and the by-laws of the Company, do resolve, that from and
after the Ist of January, 1846, the said court will expect that all
buys applying to be bound apprentice to freemen of the Company
