FOR THE SUN.

MIL EDITOR,--Observing the very laudable
exertions in your Journal for promoting the much.
desired abolition of the long iniquitous Monopoly
by Public Brewers, sanctioned and assisted by
many Magistrates, High Constables, &c. who are
self-interested persons, 1 am induced to address
you on this very important subject, and my pur-
pose is, to assure such as might be engaged in
the discussion, and the ulterior exertions which are
hinted at, that if the business is 'persevered in and
brought before the House of Commons, there ►will
be furnished such means of producing incontro-
vertible proof from various quarters, by persons
perfectly competent to the task, that the beverage
supplied to the Public by several Common Brewers
is composed of such noxious and poisonous in-
gredients as are exceedingly detrimental and in-
jurious to the health and constitutions of indi
vidnals, and it can be amply proved, that, be!.
sides many others, one person in particular,
conspicuously connected with • ptiblic Brewers,
has for many years supplied large breweries with
immense quantities of noxious and deleterious
drugs, for the purpose of manufacturing a spuri-
ous Article called Porter, Ale, &c. which can be
proved to be of a most pernicious quality, and
which, no doubt, has greatly affected the "health
and lives of thousands in such manner and degree
as is alarming to every one who is under the ne-
cessity of drinking such intoxicating awl perni-
cious trash. These Brewers' Droggists, it is well
known, are not confined to supplying the large
breweries in town, but in every part throughout
the United Kingdom, of which a mass of evi-
dence can be produced before the House of Com-
mons, which must induce Ore Legislature to
adopt some remedy not now in existence. I in-
tend being in town in 12 or 14 days; when I cer-
tainly shall feel it my duty to furnish further par-
ticulars on this most important subject, either to
you or to the Committee, if one should be ap-
pointed on the occasion, it being a subject which,
for many years, 1 have strongly desired to see
sifted- to _the bottom. Although I am perfectly
unconnected with any trade whatever, 1 assure you
that some deeply implicated in such practices, as
are alluded to, are my friends in more points of
view than one.
AN INDEPENDENT FRIEND TO REFORM,
Where necessary (and practicable)
for the Public Good.

LORD DARLINGTON.

FOR THE SUN.

EDITOR,—The Netveastle. and Durham
Papers do not appear to have noticed Lord DAlt•
LINGTON'S Subscription of 1051. "to the New
Religious Tract Society founded by Mr. Hose,"
though The Courant thus designates the subscrip-
tion for him, and mentions that of 'Lord SEFTON
and the Duke of BEDFORD. There is too much
tenderness in this forbearance. Why is it so ? It
may probably, from the general feeling of The Cou-
rant, have been expected, but not from The Durham
Advertiser, whose loyal, constitutional, and pro-
testant feelings, are well known and duly appre-
ciated. But the time is at band when the two
Counties will be rescued from their present igno
minions state of Representation.,

GENERAL ELECTION.

FOR THE SUN.

The County of Kent is likely to be strongly con-
tested at ti,e next General Election, as two Gen-
tlemen of the independent interest intend •to offer
themselves io opposition to the present two Mem-
bers, who, it is supposed, intend offering them-
selves again, but with little chance of success.
A KENTISH FREEHOLDER.

Mr. LEYLAND, it appears from the Provincial
Papers, has signified his intention of standing for
Liverpool at the next Election. Frotu this cir-
cumstance, and the rumours we have heard, it is
by many thought likely that Mr. BIRCH will not
go to a Poll.
Sir JOHN GREY EGERTON has been induced, by
the importunity of his friends, to consent to their
nomination of him again as one of the Candidates
for the city of Chester.
A small party of Freeholders of Westmoreland,
resident in London, have formed a design of op-
posing the Lowther interest in the representation
of that county, and Mr. BROUGHAM is fixed upon
as their candidate. In consequence, local Com-
mittees have been formed in various parts of the
county, to resist this interference of the Cocknies,
and secure the reelection of the present Mem-
hers, both sons of Lord LONSDALE.—(Newcastle
Courant )
CORUETT, the most versatile of all Pr,liticia s,
says, in a late number of his Political Register,
that he is doing all in his power to incite the
Westminster Electors to reject Sir FRANCIS BUR-
DETT on a dissolution of Parliament. His luke-
warmness towards the Reformers, apparent coa-
lescing with the Whigs during last session, and
his suffering his son to hold a commission in the
standing army during peace, are the chief politi-
cal sins urged against the Baronet. COBBETT says
it is very probable he shall be present at the next
election.
