I Ift LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 26. 10 OUR ♦ DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will Iss leashed on SATURDAYS as usual, during the Tan " commercial candidates "—an euphuism, we prom% for " trading politicians "—for the City of Leaded, are sadly annoyed by the indignant feeling awakened in the breasts of the electors by the treat ment which Lord Jowl Russet'. has experienced at their heads and at the hands of their patrons, the taw busybodies who have been allowed to act in the same of the Registration Association. They pretest that they have no enmity to Lord Joax, that they have done nothing to injure him. The lawarMillA of one of their district meetings declared ea Tuesday that " they have not held any public meeting in the City, neither have they made any attack ea Lord JOHN RtgIISLL." An we to infer from this that all their meetings which we see reported in our own columns and in the whim= of ear contemporaries are as strictly private, hole-and career affairs, as the first meeting of the Aso chilies was attempted to be made? It would almost seem that they are. Mr. DaLos, with a view to counteract the effect of a resolu tion in favour of Lord Jonx, passed at one of the Association's district meetings, stated that there were only fifteen persons present. This may or may sot be the case ; all that we know is, that Mr. DILLON himself presided at the meeting in his capa city of district chairman ; that it was probably con ♦ened by himself as chairman ; and that if he had ant been leR in a glorious minority of one with his original resolution, we should have beard nothing of the mall number of persons present. As far, there- Axe, as concerns the hole-and-corner character of the Association's meetings, we admit that its district chairmen have completely proved their ease; and we oak the electors of London if they are disposed to he dictated to by hole•and-corner conspiracies against the freedom of election ? But when we are eked to believe that they have made no attaek upon Lord Joint RUSSELL, we met be allowed to remain at lent sceptical. When an organised body, before Parliament is dissolved, comes Seward to nominate four candidates with a view to exclude one of the sitting members, we must say that it loam very like an attack upon him. And when thwe fear candidates meet and pledge themselves to stand or fall together, it does look very like taking part hi the attack. If any one of as, on seeking to eater a hoes. where we had found free and friendly abaktion for sixteen years, were to be encountered • triar gentlemen, locked arm in arm, filling up the adult width of the wave, and refusing to make way for as, what would we call that ? But perhaps • " not being parties to any attack on Lard rout" ▪ essat not speaking disrespsethdly of him. Even this, however, is more than the four candi &Ps and their patrons can say for themselves with truth. Mr.CßAwroan had his snarl at Lord Joss at the very meeting when the Chairman pretested they had never attacked the sable lord. And Mr. RAIEES CURRIE—the Muter Merryman of the Parliamentary arena—the would-bo whe inflicts upon the House of Commons his rgioeted contributions to Punch, took upon him to user at " the small pigmy wit of Lord JOVE Rec ant." These might pass for unpremeditated, waspish ebullitions of perunal spleen and vanity ; but we can bring home to the Association, or to its agents, the dissemination of deliberate calumnies against Lord lons Rus"rt.c. Menial at elections, the cards of the Association, dated "Central Com mittee-room, Bucklersbury," are hawked about, akin the " vote and interest" of electors fir the four " liberal and commercial can didates." And along with these cards is distributed an address to thl " Men of Lee dom," in which it is said of certain expremieme attributed to Lord lonic Ruser.f.t.--" such satins mayeakt the oldwomen and small clerical tea-parties et the cathedral close of a little rural borough ; no maa who aspires to office in this country dare pro aay other." Is this or is it seta sues and calumnious attack upon Lord ions &Team ? We may be told—and possibly with truth—that . . Ow principal members oi the A - seoeistice sad their candidates know nothing of tine unwasmabable attack. But this only shows the deogerass ammeter of sash permanent organisation.

NOMINATION S.-THIS DAY. _I WESTMINSTER. This morning, the nomination of candidates to re present the city of Westminster in the new parliament took place in Covent-garden. The hustings, as en former his toric occasions associated with the names of Burdett and llobhouse, were erected in front of St. Paul's-church, end immediately facing the grand avenue of Covent-garden mar ket. There was an utter absence of anything like excite ment, the attendance being meagre in the extreme, while the majority of those present appeared to belong to the non-elective clam. A requisition, Oozed by 3,000 electors, had been presented to Mr. Westerton, of Malphitheillgeo sad it wan said, that had he good there was • gesereet at Yes Wag returned, but the west-end champion grealetealism leased to go to the expense of a con loth Most et Ihe Win reformers of Westminster were ea Ile Multiage. The two candidates, Sir De Lacy Ever sod Hr John Villiers Illhellsy,mede their appearanri, together, or were renamed but coldly, not a mingle cheer being raised. Mr. Francis Smedley, the high bailiff, was the presiding and returning officer, end Mr. J. W. Hall, the head magistrate at Bow-sent, administered the oath. The customary formalities having been gone through, the limo BAILIFF opened the practical promediess of the day by announcing that the two retiring members were can didates for re-election, and like aspirants for government appointments, were now rely to undergo an elimination to show that they were at for the of they sought. Df. BAINBILIDOI proposed Sir De Lacy Evans as an old and tried reformer. The general was an advocate of pre print edema, a large extension of the rare, and a sup porter of selkath shiestica, and a reduction in the public espoelther Mr. H. a. Rontrox fronded the general's nomination, sad In ling so excited a feeble cheer by a reference to the Went aMuwrs IifTWII in the Crimes. Mr. Hattie ffithatron premed air John Villiers Shelley in Omer terms. Mr Jai was pledged se a sound orx ial Wenner, sod they has se ether Merman bat to return him. Per his emu put he coral Mae for the Canton tmea lion, what ho wanted was perikerataty reform, and such measures as the abolition of chunk meta. (A yoke, " Then you'll never get 'em.") He also vestal to see Westminster made a corporate city, with mayor eml 'operation, and the managemeat of its own police and real Astro (Memo) Mr. JUIIIPH 0 LOROI ACCONda the serimaien of Sir John Villiers Shelley, who yea a gad alma, representing ' PM Po*. (A ugh.) Sir De Lucy EVANII they proemial himself to the crowd in front of the kornmt sad wee neared with cheers. Ho said this was sot the bet, nor the second, re the third time of hie oppresses ea those hunting., ma he was proud to look bask open the long course of man daring which he had rep rested the electors of West mriler. But he weal net go Into that favourite topic at my eistall, for he was tali brevity was to be the order of the day on that occasion. There were two topics upon which the great proportion of the candidates now presenting mnaelves b ;he vvlone ounotituencies of the kingdom— sensed very foul of dilating; the first war their own par ticular virtues and merits, the second the Canton cuntro• verity. He would premier not to may one word upon either; he would knee it for them to judge whether he had any merits or not, but Do t - ought he Dad a tolerably proof that whatever his defects might be they at hurt felt that his htunblo mettle counterpdred hie demerits. (Hear. bear.) Having mid ro mucle he would refer to ono or two events of moment, whkh had occurred sinoo the dissolution of parlia ment. Ile was sure no elector or non-electoe--and he was sorry to believe that the greater proportion of those be ad dressed were non-eleetneve, but be would use his beet maims to diminish that proportion—he was sure there was not soy one of either dm who did not take an interest in the welfare of that mall but now glorious kingdom of Sardinia. (Cheers) She had not My recently MaWaxed his representative government, but she had also menfully and nobly borne her part with us in the Crimean war. (Cheers.) Well, then, since the rising of parliament the Atlantan government hail withdrawn their ambassador from the Sardinian court, and had issued a document which found extreme fault with the liberty of the peen in Turin, and, in feet, indicating a determination to resort to hostilities. (Hew, beer; and a voice, "And were going to asst 'en.") Now, Lord Palmerston, our preeent pre mier—and ea able one be was—had often been blamed for hie disposition to meddle in foreign affairs rather too much, and in rather too bellicese a spirit; but he would take leave to ray that the high-spirited people if thin kingdom would not suffer the liberties of Sardinia to be trifled with, sad whether Lord Palenneton pleased or not, the people would compel him to throw the shield of this empire over that little but gallant state. (Cheers) There wee mother small state whom liberties had Leen threatened. The independence of Switeerland, the oasis of liberty in the desert of despotism, had been me naced by Pearls, but the gemmusent of this country had the power of coercing both Austria and Prunes, and it should not be his fault if that Influence was not used in the cause of liberty. The gallant general concluded with re ferring to the length of his parliamentary servicee, in con nexion with the representation of Westminster, observing that for three out of the twenty-five years he had been their military am well as their political representative. An Ebrevon asked the gallant general whether he would oppose the vote of a dowry of 70,0001. a-year to the ?einem Royal ? Sir Dr. LACY EVANE—I till take care to do so so far as my humble vote will go. Sir JOHN VILLIZES SHELLEY, in addressing the electors, referred to hie voter in partiement, which showed, he said, that he had always been on the eide of reform. Ile should be quite ready to support a well-defined scheme, such es had been referred to, for giving Westminoter an independent cor poration ; but while he said that, he remit remind them that he had been an ardent supporter of the Metropolitan Local Management Act, and he was satisfied that if the vestries did their duty under that act, district or Parochial abuse would soon di appear. A Voice,—But how about gerlismentary reform? Sit J. V. SHELLEY was fried to be reminded of the sub ject, as it gave him the opportunity of stating his conviction that if the cenetitueneies took care to return true men, Lord Paine ton's government would not hesitate to bring for ward a immure el reform—a measure not, prrhape, meeting all their wishes, but still a movement in the right direction. (Chem.) A show of hands was then taken, and there being no other candidate the Returning Officer declared Sir Do Lacy Evam and Sir J. V. Shelley to be duly elected. No hands were held up against either. On the modem of Sir Da Lacs tweets, who congratulated himself upon being the Let metabes returned to the new parliament, amended by fir J. V. SHELLEY. 'Linke were voted to the 1110 Balßit and the proceeding* terminated. ( . 1Y ELIECTIM COVENTRY. The Right lion. E.

Ho would have voted for Mr. Locke King's measure. With regard to church-rates, though he would not pledge himself to vote for their abolition, he should wish the measure to go into committee. He was opposed to vote by ballot ; bad no objection to the edmission of Jews into parliament . ;:and would have voted with Lord Palmerston against Mr. Cobden's motion. A vote of confidence in Mr. Wingfield was carried by a large majority. HANTS (NORTII).—The three tory candidates, Meows. Portal, Beach, and Scheer, declare their determina tion to go to the poll.

KNARESBOROUGIL — Mr. Weethead, the liberal candidate, has retired from the contra.

The Ga:ette Nationale of Vienna publishes a chart analysis of the second note addres,cd by the Auetnag cabinet to Sardinia, in reply to the note of Count Cavour. Count Buol states that the Emperor, in his desire to improve the condition of his Italian subjects, had expected to find the other governments in Italy animated with a similar spirit, bat th a t he cannot suffer the systematic attacks upon his rights by the l'iedmontesc press. The same journal adds that Lord Palmerston disapproves of the con. duct of the Piedmontese government, and that hs I advises it to pursue a more conciliatory and mode. rate policy. We have already stated that the Austrian govern. ment, in recalling its representative from Tu r i n , addressed a circular despatch, setting forth; the reasons by which it is guided, to its agents at the European courts. We find to-day in a correspond ence from Berlin, published by the Nord, an au. lysis of the despatch on this subject, addressed by Count Buol to the Prussian cabinet. According to this document, the cabinet of Vienna is not only dissatisfied with Count Cavour's reply to its complaints of the Piedmor.tese press, and of the tolerance with which these attacks are hexed by the Sardinian government ; but it sees a new offence in the language used by that government on the occasion of the debates which have taken place relative to the fortifications of Alessandria. The despatch adds that " The 'Austrian Go. vernment has become convinced that Piedmont seeks to place itself at the head of the revolutionary movement in Italy—a movement of whini the success would be the destruction of the Austrian domination in Italy. Piedmont, pur. sues, then, a policy which not only tends to disturb social order in Italy, but even to totally change the European political system established by the treaties of Vienna." In presence of these facts Austria deems that her dignity will no longer per. mit her to maintain official relations with Sardinia. Nevertheless, Count Buol, in informing the foreign courts of the step which Austria has determined to take, declares formally that this mci. sure will not be followed by others of a more hostile character, and that in any event Austria will avoid up to the last moment all that can compromise the maintenance of peace or create embarrassments amongst the European Cabinets. FRIGHTFUL STATE OF SICILY. A Palermo letter of March 15 confirms the astounding fact that a police agent, named &ions, has been rewarded by the King of Naples with the Cross of Francis 1., for having invented an Mierw ment of torture. The name of the new machine is La Tortura del Sileueio. The name of the first person upon whom it was tried was Leo Bee. The gaoler who was watching the operation thought the man was dying, and called in the superior setho. Titles and a doctor, who took off the machine. hay found that the v ictim was still alive, and the gaoler was afterwards flogged for his faint-heartedness.

The friends of many persons recently arrested have come forward voluntarily to give evidence, in the hope of prevent• ing the authorities from having recourse to torture. It is positively asserted that the King personally sent orders to Prince Castelcieala, the governor of Sicily, to have recourse to these diabolical means to terrify rebels.
