SALFORD,
OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

A short time a_°, the members of the above society unani-
mously proposed Lord Maidstone Sir F. Burdett, and Sir
George Sinclair as honorary members of the society, which
was communicated, to them by the secretary of the associa-
tion. The following answers have since been received from
them :

St. James' Place, July 17, 1838.
Sir,—l have just received your very, to me, grateful and
flattering announcement—the more flattering, because above
all suspicion of flattery--of the unanimous election of Lord
Maidstone, George Sinclair and myself, by the Opera-
tive Conservative Association at Salford, to he members of
that body of true Englishmen. As to the circumstance to
which you allude, which took place a little time back at the
Crown and Anchor, it is only an additional exemplification
of what every honest lover of truth and liberty must be pre-
pared to expect from ignorance, violence, misapprehension,
and interested resentment..

The account of the election of guardians in your borough
is very satisfactory; and 1 cannot help thinking, that the
good' sense and good feeling of this great community is ra-
pidly recovering from the delusion which has for some time
prevailed, and is returning to that heathful state of mind,
those sound practical views and sterling good sense and in-
tegrity for which our forefathers were so remarkable, and
from whom, I trust, whatever ,may be said to the contrary,
we have not degenerated.—l remain, Sir, your fellow Con-
servative, . F. BURDETT.
To Mr, J. Bell, Conservative Secretary.
Carlton Club, July 14, 2838.
Sir,—l thank you for the enclosed copy of the declaration
of Conservative opinions which you have enclosed me, as the
political creed of the Salford Conservatives. I need not say
that I subscribe to it most cheerfully, and that! estimate very
highly the honour they have done me, in electing me an
honorary member, in conjunction with Sir F. Burdett and
Sir George Sinclair.
I feel assured, that you and all the Conservatives of Sal-
ford will give us credit, for having their interests and those
of Mr. Garnett always at heart. After the visit which we
:had the honour of paying at your late festival, we should in-
deed be wanting in ardour for the cause, if we did not look
upon Salford as a place where a most interesting Conserva-
tive battle will he fought at the next election, awl I need not
add, with every prospect of success.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, MAIDSTONE.
John Bell, Esq., Salford.

THE NEW POOR-LAW BILL AND NATIONAL
LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE.

We have been favoured with the following correspondence
Park-lane, Saturday, July 14, 1838.

Sie.—The guardians of the Ihyihing Unio►i, in Suffolk,
have desired me to forward to the directors of the National
Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, a volume which accom-
panies this letter, and which I mean to leave at their office
to-day, for their acceptance and information.
These guardians wish also to express to the directors their
cordial thanks for the prospectuses so liberally supplied for
insertion in the official account of their parochial charities,
and enclose a copy of the resolutions passed at the board.
With best wishes to the society, I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
(Signed) SOMERSET.
To T. L. Murray, Esq., Chairman of the Directors of
the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society.
