Mr. LOWNDU hoped he might now he permitted • to say a few words against it going forth to the world that the Marquis Wellesley had adopted a sYwrot of rigour with respect to the press in India which the Marquis of Hastings had abolished, withont its being ofirseryed at the same time that th. situation of affairs in India MRS very different during the two odmini•trations. When the Mar quhl•Wellesley went there the storm raged ■round with •sdiminished violence, bat at the lime the Marquis of Hastings arrived peace was restored. Mr. C. GRANT was extremely anxious that in the notices which would be given in the public journals of their proceedings, it should not go forth to the world that the statements of the Honourable I Proprietor were acquiesced in by the Count. To that he, for one. protested. He believed the Hon. Proprietor wt' completely mistaken in his histo r cal statement of the rise and progress of th e ficeiloan of the press in India. Lord l'rignmostli, ,•r • . far from having favoured it, sent home the Editor of the Calcrita Journal as a prisoner, and lined Cornwallis had also done a similar thing; but the qwestion was, in whist situation were we at present ?

He took the opportunity of congriitu. !Jong the Livery on the election of two most re. cubic Geotlemen, who .would ntairataiii the fair privileges of the offices, and also welch over those er•their fellow-citizens in general, and fallow in the footsteps of their predecessors, one of whom (Mr. S'neriff Williams) he had the honour to propose. . The motion was then. put and carried uuani. mously. and it.. was moved that the Resolution should be iuserted in the usuul Morning and Even ing rapers.. Mr. Sheriff WAITHMAN said, it was most grate ful. to. him to meet with the approval of his fellow citizens, and especially when he felt convinced, from conscientious feeling% that such approbation was not undeservod. But although the exertions required of. the Sheriffs in this contest had been so tittle—easy and passive as had been their .duties— although he had kept the promise which he had made to his constituents on taking up the office, to abstain from interfering, in its execution, with party politics, or leaning to either the one side or the other—although he had been utterly in the clerk, from the commencement of the election, as to the line of conduct that would be adopted ; yet, day idler day, had he been assaulted in one of the public newspaper% and charged with being the promoter of the contest. For the 25 years that he had been in public life, he abstained from noticing the attacks that had been made upon him from that quarter. It was not sufficient, on this occa sion, that measures were charged as being his, but they had revived forgotten attacks which bed been made out him in the shape of election *quibs ; but this was not sufficient, for they had revived atrocious calumnies on his private life And transactions. A Paper of Thursday had re vived a calumny against him. respecting some transactions iu the Insolvent Debtors Court, in which he had been engaged some time since. Now be would airy to the Livery that, if lie did no other service while he was in the House of Commons, he had succeeded in exposing that Court. He had shewa that out of twenty millions of the money of the citizens which went through it, tint one penny came out of it in the shape of dividend. He had himself succeeded in convincing the Committee of the House of Commons of this, and had procured a Report (or a vote, we do not know which), condemning the Court, and had occa sioried the dismissal of the Commissioner. Under these circumstances it was no great wonder that the calumny found its way into the world, and it was no yeti wonder that it found its way from those individuals through the Piper alluded to. if it wurs!d gratify his calumniators to know that thry had dune him an essential injury, they 'night have that saii.faction, for no man who had heat attacked he lied been could escape private. injury. The worthy Aldetmsn animadverted on the conduct and character ofJ. B. Sharpe, the Honorary Seentary of , the Constitutiooel Associatioa, wbom.he charged with being one of his greatest celernniators. Yet this was the man who watt chosen as one of the guardiass of public morals ! 'Perhaps it wee en the principle of the old adage, that " an old smuggler makes the hest exciseman?' In.eanclnitiett, the worthy Alderman lured any one to examine into his 1111 character as a tradesmen in their own %Vard of Cheep, where be had dealt to the amount of mil lions, and compare it with that of the Secretary of the Association, or even with that of the Treasurer. —(7'his speech excited grog feetieg bs the Hal!.)

But as the Hall was but thinly attended, lie should beg lease to postpone the matter until en opportu nity occurred, when there was an attendance ade quate to the importance or the aubjects wilco he would lay before them such a statement as would astonish them. Mr. Num came forwasd and•snatle some ob. serrations 1111 the state of the poll, in the course of which he said the citizen' would profit greatly by reading their Charter and, !co r ds, which would expose to them many existing abuses that they were not aware of, and amongst them was the prac tice of the Lord Mayor and the Court of Alder men nominating persons to serve, the office of Sheriff for the rake of the fi.ses, and others for the sake of the joh.—He read to them an account of the origin of this practice, from hleltnoth's History of Landon, vlid) he recommenced to their perusal. The practice otigioated at a carous ing poly. in the *ergo of Elizabeth, at which the Lord Mayor drool( to one 4.1' his brother Aldermen at the Sheriff Elect, and who. after wards served the office. Successive Sherilh con tinned to be appointed in this way for a considera ble time aftewarda, during which the citizens were deprived of their franchises, and it was not with out great exertirros that the election was restored to them. Hut still the candidates were nominated by the Lord Mayor drinking to them at an annual (limier. This practice he charactesised as an in fringement of the privilege of election.

JULY 5, 1551. DEATH OF BONAPARTE. The death of NAPOLEON BONAPAITE is offi cially announced. Dispatches communicating this most important event were received yesterday at the Admiralty from St. Helena. They were brought by Captain HENDRY, of the Rosario sloop of war, accompanied by Captain CoottaT, of the 40th re giment, who arrived in town at about half-past eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The dispatches being opened at the Admire*, were immediately transmitted to his MAJESTY, and in a very short time the important event which they communicated was known throughout every part of the metro. polio. It was less a matter of surprise than a fruit ful source of contemplation to observe the calm indifference with which the intelligence was univer. sally received. The event which some few years ago would have agitated the whole expanse of so ciety, appeared to excite no feeling of more than ordinary interest ; it interrupted the subjects of general conversation for a moment, and then gave place to the weightier interests with which they were surrounded; and no other importance was apparently attached to it than might be estimated by the amount of money which the breaking up Of the establishment at St. Helena must necessarily tare to this country. The history of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE closed with his surrender to the Bel lerophon. ; his influence upon the political aspect of Europe from that moment utterly ceased, and although the story of his imprisonment and raffle will perhaps be sought after by posterity with as keen an interest as the nairative of his proudest career of military glory, yet with re gard to the present generation his existence has since his surrender presented nothing to public view which could distinguish him from those war riors who bad already paid the debt of nature. The acithstif this tatrutitrituary (1111t1 took Owe on ~he sth of May ; it was occasioned by a cancer in '•St m t . . Ihn itos•aeb, ender which he laboured 'far. about six weeks. The di was oni is it would seen of hereditary fatality. for the hither of NkroLzotr died of the same complaint at the early age of 35, and perhaps it was from being aware of this cir cumstance that NAPOLEON, feat an early stage of the attack, entertained apprehensions that it would prove fatal to his life. To all except him self the ditied4 - ncit daring the first four weeks of his illnees assume • formidable appearance, but for the last fortnight his physicians and surgeons entertained no hopes of • favourable termination. He is said to have retained the perfect enjoyment of his brows until within about five or six hours of his decease, and that lie gave directions so long as his understanding served him ■bout his papers and talkies. He expressed a desire that his body should he opened, to ascertain accurately the cause of his death, and that his son should be apprised of the result of the examination. This operation was actually performed by his own surgeon. His body was visited by the Go revisor, the Admiral, and other persons in autho rity in Saint Helena, and was then laid in state. We have not heard, however. whether it was intend ed that it should be interred in the island or brought to Europe. Ile is said to have made a will, which has been brought to England with the dispatches. NAPOLLON was, if we recollect rightly, possessed at the time of his surrender to Captain MAITLAND of considerable funds, which were then, as it was at the time understood, dis posed of by the British Government fur his occa sional use, and the future advantage of his family. All his family are extremely wealthy. The character of D'art:menu BONAPARTE. end the influence which his fame and fortune have so long exercised upon the political condition of Europe, or rather, we should say, of the civilised portion of the globe, hove been too fregisently and too recently d►scussed, both in writings and con versation, to become now suitable topics for further remarks. The memory of his achievements is still too fresh not to be associated strongly in the public mind with au energetic sense either of admiration or of hatred, and until this personal bias be wholly obliterated, it will not be possible to sketch his character with candour and impartiality. But whatever may be the judgment of posterity respect• ing the motives and the means that regulated and marked the exercise of his talent., whether he shall be considered as the scourge or the benefactor of any portion of Europe, there can be no second opinion with regard to the magnificence of his de• signs and the imposing greatness of his talents His actions must ever stand as prominent epochs in the history of mankind, and his name must in times far distant distinguish the age in which he lived. The death of BowAPARTIL w►ll he a great saving in the public expenditure of England. The Saint Helena establishment has been estimated ut about . 300,000/. a-year, but with incidental and accidental expenses, it may be perhaps rated as little short of 400,000/. When BONAPARTS escaped from Elba the French charged England with having let him loose, thus insinuating that his liberty would pro. note her interests. In the opinions of the French, therefore, England has paid two millions of money in her own wrong on account of Botrararre, and this immense sum she has paid for the honour of being the keeper of the prison of her best Mend. The morning, at tea o'clock. all the Members of the Privy Council residing in or near London will, in pursuance of an order issued for their at tendance, severable in the Council Chamber at the Cock-pit. Whitehall, for the purpose, as it is be haved, of hearing the arguments of Counsel in support of the Quaas'► claim to share the honours of the Coronation. This proceeding takes place in pursuance of an order made at the last meeting of the Privy Council at Whitehall un Tuesday last. The Prorogstinn of Parliament will take place on Wednesday next •t farthest : there is a pro bability that it may take place on Tuesday. Paris Papers of Sunday last have arrived. They contain no news of any interest. Three Lisbon Mails have arrived, with Papers from that city to the 17th June. They officially announce that the return of the King of Pot. TOGAL from the Brazils is unavoidably delayed for a short time, in consequence of some embarrassment in the means of conveyance, and contains a formal disavowal, so far as respects his MAJRATT, of the representations made at the Congresses of Troppou end Lay birch, that the Kings of PORTUGAL, SPAM and NAPLICS, by no means adhered to the new Constitutions proclaimed in those countries. Jamaica Papers to the sth May contain not the slightest allusion to the rumoured attempt at insur rection on the island by some negroes. It may be concluded, therefore, that the statement (which we copied from a Greenock Paper) is unfounded; the private letter containing it was dated the Ysth Apri l, and these papers are nearly a fortnight later in date.
