TO CORRESPONDENTS.

ERRATUM.—In the advertisement last week respecting the late
fire in Miles-street, Toxteth Park, the number 1059, referring
to the payment by the Anchor Insurance Company, should
have been printed as £1,059, the amount of the claim paid.
H. 0. D. has considerably improved both in rhyme and
These are not, however, the only requisites in good

rhythm

C. F. S.—We have no space to reprint the Rev. Dr. M'Neile's
letter to the Romish Priest Power ; but we would remind
the latter that he has not yet ventured on a reply.

W. E.—His lines on "The Shrines" require more correction
than we have time to devote to them.
A PROTESTANT.—When we require his advice or assistance,
we may be tempted to apply for it ; but we trust that time
will be long distant. Those are the worst despots who,
insisting so strongly on the right of private judgment for
themselves, will not allow others to have an independent
opinion on any subject ; and to be under any obligation to
such persons, we should account an extreme humiliation.
Our correspondent appears to belong to this class, and it is
one for which we entertain neither respect nor sympathy.
These sham professors, who are unceasingly prating about
their Conservatism and their Protestantism, never hesitate
to seek favours of us, when they think we can be useful to
them ; yet they would deal with a Mahommedan or a Hindu,
or even with Cardinal Wiseman, rather than a Conservative
or a Churchman, if they thought they could save a farthing.
With all the faults of Radicals and Dissenters, they have one
good quality—in their general support of one another; and
they set an example in this respect which our correspondent
and a few others we could name would do well to follow.

WE have been made acquainted with the details of a gross and
disgusting outrage, which was perpetrated a day or two ago
at the residence of a highly respectable gentleman, at Waver-
tree, by a neighbour of his (well known on 'Change), who
forcibly entered the house in the geutleman's absence; but
having reason to believe that the unfortunate delinquent is
not responsible for his actions, we forbear giving further
publicity to the occurrence.

liamentary Committees more stringent and search-
ing was to suppress, as far as possible, the corrupt
practices which were known to prevail in many
Borough elections, and no doubt many of the
members of these Committees entered upon their
labours with a sincere desire to accomplish the end
in view. But their zeal has outstepped their dis-
cretion ; the cord has been stretched so tight that
it has snapped, and they have allowed themselves
to become the tools of those who traffic in seats
in the House of Commons as things to be bought
and sold. There is hardly a case we can appeal to
in which the decision has not been either a gross
perversion of justice, or the evils complained of
have been considerably increased. Take the in-
stances of Blackburn and Lancaster, and so far
from the unseating of the former members, or the
threats of disfranchisement in other cases, opera-
ting as a warning, the elections to supply the several
vacancies were characterised by more of bribery
and intimidation than those which were complained
of. The evils have been increased instead of
diminished, as though Parliamentary Agents, secure
of obtaining another vacancy, had sold their clients
in order to get another job. As a means of deter-
ring from what are called corrupt practices, the
present system of Election Committees has proved a
positive failure—a remedy worse than the disease—

and the only hope is that future Corn tnittees, learn-
ing wisdom by experience, will refuse to declare
any member not duly elected unless they have some
more tangible evidence than has satisfied them in
recent decisions. We should then have fewer of
frivolous and vexatious petitions, and a far more
efficient check than is now afforded to that systema-
tic bribery which strikes at the root of freedom of
election.

advocates of Free Trade. But in politics, as in
religion, the thorough-going Liberal votes for his
party, and not for his principles ; and so the party-
coloured Minister found so large a minority to
refuse a boon, the justice of which was self-
evident, and could not be denied even by those
who spoke and voted against granting it. We are
fully aware of the serious inconvenience it must
cause to a Finance Minister, to have his sources of
Revenue forestalled, and his Ways and Means
appropriated, without reference to his own in-
genious scheming to make both ends meet, and
leave himself a safe surplus for future operations;
but the difficulty in this respect chiefly applies to
transactions of a large amount, such for instance as
the Income-tax and the Malt-duty, or even the
duty on Wine. In the case, however, of the Ad-
vertisement duty, there is no such danger of em-
barrassment, for the whole amount does not exceed
£180,000; and Mr. GLADSTONE must have far
less skill than even his detractors give him credit
for, if he cannot, out of a Revenue of more than
Fifty Millions, provide against so trifling a di-
minution, without any great exercise of his cal-
culating powers. He must, moreover, anticipate
an increase of Postage receipts created by the in-
evitable increase of Advertisements; and perhaps

he may find that the reduction will, after all, prove
no loss of Revenue.

THE DERBY CORRESPONDENCE.

A correspondence has been published between Mr.
T. B. HORSFALL and the present members for Derby,
arising out of a disgraceful transaction on the part of the
latter. It will be seen by some extracts from the letters,
which we have given in another column, that Mr. HORS-
FALL labours under the misfortune of having mistaken
Mr. HEYWORTH for a gentleman, whereas the tenour of
his letters will prevent any one else from falling into such
an error. it is but justice to Mr. Bross, to say, that he
has acquitted himself far more creditably.
