SIR F. DILLON BELL'S MEETING AT LONG BUSH.
(TO THE EDITOB OF THB TIMK3.) Srß, — As Mr Andrew Kinross has thought fit to call ia question the accuracy of your report of Sir F. Dillon Bell's meeting at Long Bush, allow me to state that your report was substantially correct in every particular. Tt was naturally to be expected that a man possessed of Mr Kinross' s morbid vanity should have felt keenly the manner in which he was so completely " put down" by Sir Francis, and also that he would discharge his spleen on some of the supporters of that gentleman on the first available occasion. In return for Mr Kinross's compliment, I may be permitted to say that he is a man who is " least respected where he is best known." His tad feeling towards me is easily to be accounted for when it is explained that at the last election I refused to give him my influence and Bupport, although they were besought in the most cringing and abject manner. — Yours, &c, Wm. Dawson, Junr.
