TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,-Our petitions to the House of Commons have been
rendered et little value by the declaration of Mr. Ferrand, that
the signaturcrs have been forged, or the signers bribed.
Would you, Sir, take the trouble to ascertain whether it is
wished by the House that we should attend in person, and give
evidence that our signatures are genuine and unbought ? If
it is wished we shall soon mile our ap; earace.

REPRESENTATION OF BRIGIITON.—The unfortu-
nate failure of Messrs. Wigney's bank will cause a vacancy in
the borough, and there is now a favourable opportunity for a
gentleman of Liberal principles to offer himself for the represen-
tation of Brighton in the Imperial Parliament. As this will
be a single election, it is most important that the Liberals
should be united. The Tories are active and sanguine, but
their defeat is certain if the Liberals are true to themselves, arid
if they are fortunate enough to obtain a candidate worthy
of their confidence and support. We hope and trust
that we shall be able in our next to announce that
such a candidate is in the field. Since the above
was written we have received the following paragraph
om an influential quarter:—" We are authorised to state that,
as a vacancy must shortly arise in the representation of this
borough, active measures are in progress for the maintenance of
the Liberal interest. In the meantime the electors are cau-
tioned against committing themselvesby any premature pledge."
