Battling against the pecuniary interests of many, the prejudices of habit, and the misconceptions of the mass, the originators of this extraordinary body quietly gained ground amongst their assailants ; by cogency of argument and force 'of honest speaking, they tore the sophistries of the monopolists to very tatters, and moved forward to the accomplishment of their intentions upon a solid foundation of fact. Much has been said about the eloquence of the League orators, but the peculiarity of that eloquence has never been sufficiently noticed. It was an eloquence altogether contradistinguished from the eloquence of the schools; it discarded all the meretricious adornments of diction ; it strove not to embellish by similitudes, or to adorn by the useless interpolation of striking phrases. There was some thing in it peculiarly unostentatious : it was to the last degree homespun. What it wanted in adven titious decorations it made up for in an array 'of facts altogether irresistible. These are the qualities which have tended more than any other to facilitate the dissemination of the influence, and to secure the ulterior victory, of this wonderful association. It has done infinitely more than achieving freedom of commerce ; it has afforded an example to mankind of how inevitably a great advantage may be realised by peaceful, legal, and constitutional efforts. Mr. O'CoNNELL re-appeared in the Conciliation Hall, in Dublin, the day before yesterday. From the vast power which he wields in his native land—a power which has shaken to the foundation every Government that has been formed since he first quitted his lucrative profession, to become the public champion of an oppressed and suffering nation— any speech made by Mr. O'CONNELL is sure to be read with the deepest interest. Apart from the commanding influence he exer cises in Ireland, his untiring energy, acknowledged talents, and moving eloquence, never fail to rivet the attention of his audience, or to afford matter for serious reflection throughout the length and breadth of the - United Empire. The present posture of affairs imparts an additional interest to the public addresses of the great leader of the Irish people. We are arrived at a juncture in which, it is not to be doubted, the popular power vested in Mr. O'CoN NELL can be rendered conducive to the stability or enervation of the Government, according to the views he may embrace and the advice he may tender to the Association, of which he is the govern ing head. Looking to the unexampled wrongs ibfl;ctedapon Ireland by the bigoted narrow-minded ness,-Which has so tediously characterised successive administrations in their treatment of that country, we were not surprised when the desire for repeal as ;timed the organised shape it has done for some years past. Neither are we insensible to the fact, that it is owing to the agitation which has been kept on foot, that some salutary changes have been already ef fected, and that a spirit of searching reformation has been at last evoked, calculated to confer the greatest benefits on Ireland. Had this agitation never been summoned into existence, the Commission, for in stance, of which Lord DEVON was at the head, would never have been appointed ; and without the im portant information, thus elicited, we should have been, to this hour, deprived of the advantages likely to be attained by the schenie3, modelled by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and recently introduced to Parliament by the Earl of LINCOLN. We have no doubt these measures, warmly eulogised as they were by Mr. O'CONNELL, will be taken in `hand by the new Government, and that, by their operation, we shall be ere long gratified with a sensible - diminution of the agrarian outrages, which have so painfully compromised the social peace of Ireland. Repeal itself we have ever regarded as a chimera. The English, however, are too generous to be unmindful of the services of the Irish Members, who have supported of late years, from the Reform Bill downwards, all the great liberal measures which, to the marked contentment of the English and Scotch, now grace our statute book ; and we are also too humane not to urge our Government to remove the gross inequalities which prevail between our own in stitutions and those of the Emerald Isle. We have a fair promise that this will now be undertaken in a masterly spirit, and that, when accomplished, the desire of a separate Legislature will be buried in It has not been customary with Mr. O'CONNELL to praise Sir R. PEEL. The latter was highly and fre quently extolled by the former in Parliament during the present session, for the wise and benevolent steps he had taken to stay the hand of pestilence and arrest the march of famine, which last year threatened to engulph in misery millions of the Irish. In his speech of Monday last, Mr. O'CONNELL honourably renewed his eulogium, and stated that " eternal credit was due to Sir R. PEEL for having lost power in a struggle to feed the hungry, and to give wages to the artisan. Let every good and wise man rejoice that so much virtue was exhibited by one of the statesmen of their day." Mr. O'CONNELL endeavoured to impress on his hearers that repeal would be ultimately carried, be cause Mr. COBDEN, by a moral agitation, had succeeded in abolishing the corn-laws. Mr. COBDEN accom plished his mission, in consequence of the complete hold which he gained over the minds of the people from the entire reasonableness of his project. Mr. O'CONNELL will fail in his struggle, as the English will never yield to the imputation (whatever be the amount of painful truth with which it has hitherto been made) that they are incompetent, or unwilling, to mete out justice to Ireland. Until every effort shall have been exhausted, the reproach to the Imperial Legislature, that would be involved by a repeal of the union, will never be submitted to. The happy and thriving condition of Scotland, since her union with England, will animate us with the hope that we shall yet find the means of rendering Ireland in spirit, as well as in name, an integral portion of the United Empire. Mr. O'CONNELL informed the meeting of his deter mination, at the earliest period of the next session of Varliament, to bring forward the question of repeal. We trust that he will be induced to forbear bringing this subject under the notice of the Legislature, by the enunciation that will be previously made of " the most comprehensive measures," which Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his address to the electors of the City of London, has stated to be requisite for the effectual governance of Ireland. And ardently as Mr. O'CONNELL may entertain the hope for repeal, "he admitted that if the English did but justice, they would,have a right to call on the Irish people to pause." Our conviction is, that Ireland will be no longer made a political foot-ball, that justice to her w ill be no longer withheld, that, in an enlarged and philanthropical spirit, all her grievances IN ill be righteously removed, and that then, with its hopei fulfilled, the Repeal Association, like the Anti-Corn law League, will die a natural death. The A ugsburgli Gazette publishes a letter from Vienna dated 26th June, which states that Lieutenant WAG HORN had for some time been zealously employed in establishing a line of communication through Germany between the port of Dwino, on the coast of the Adriatic and the North Sea. The route will be by way of Sultzbourg, but it is doubtful whether the direct com munication between Saltzbourg• and Dwino will be by the railway 4brough Styria, or by a new railway through the Tyrol. .England would, it is said, prefer the, route by Tyrol. Letters from Constantinople state that M. OUsTINOFF, who, a few years ago was Russian Councillor of Em hussy at 'the Porte, is about to replace M. DE TITOW as Ambassador at the Court of the SULTAN. Madrid papers to the 30th have been received. They contain accounts from Lisbon of the 24th ult., at which, tithe that city was perfectly tranquil. The l o t rg w ail s: the National Guard was progressing. In Msdrid on the 29th that the Portu siQsraoutriiornnuothrefeint had addressed a cote to that of Spain complaining of the friendly reception given to the two cr-Min'wers of Portugal, the CABRALS. The reports of the al:egecl Miguelite excesses were not credited ;n;Madrid. These rumours, however, had inspired the Spanish Carlists on the Portuguese frontier with hope, and the Captain-General of Galicia had published a bando, declaring that the Government would punish with the t.talos severty any attuupt of the Carlists to disturb public order. Apprehensions were also enter tained of a Carlist outbreak in Catalonia. The G,,vernment l ad accepted the resignation, by the Marquis of PENA FLORIDA, of the office of Corregidor of Madrid. Differences between the ex-Corregidor and the Political Chief occasioned this resignation. Prior to his departure from Bayonne, the Infante Don ENRIQUE addressed a letter to M. ISTURITZ and the members of his Cabinet, complaining bitterly of the treatment which he had received from the Spanish Go vi rnment. The Archbishop of BORDEAUX arrived in Madrid on the 29th. Ostensibly the object of his visit is to inspect a French convent„ of which he was the founder. It was suspected, however, that he was charged with a secret negotiation on the subject of the marriage of the QUEEN. There is to be an illumination of Madrid for three nights, in honour of the accession of the POPE. MADRID BOISA, JUNE 30.—Three per Cents. 33'g for cash, 34 paper ; Five per Cents., 20% paper ; Debt Without Interest, 6 far cash. Exchange on London, 36%. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all contain articles on the construction of the new English Cabinet, which seems to be regarded with a favourable eye by all parties. The Journal des Debuts attaches great importance to the adhesion of Earl GREY to the new Ministry. " This fact," says our Contem porary, " proves that the differences in the Whig party have been removed, and gives to the new Cabinet much more solidity and chance of durability. Considered in each of its members, the Administration of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is more than equal to all Parliamentary neces sities. It would be difficult to find in so restricted a number so many men of talent." The Constitufionne/ expresses its good wishes towards the new English Cabinet, and even the National no longer sees cause of offence in the advent of Lord PALMEItSTON to office. It says, "Neither peace nor war, neither good nor evil relations, depend on the existence of such or such a Minister, or the triumph of such or such a party in England. Let Lord PALMERSTON succeed Lord ABERDEEN, or Lord J. RUSSELL Sir R. PEEL, the reci procal dispositions of the two nations, the relations oj• the two Governments, will not be better or worse for it, Whether Whigs cr Tories, the English Ministers are above all things English. They are well or ill-inclined towards us, according as the interest of their country demands it." The ordonnance dissolving the Chamber of Deputies was signed by the KING on Monday. The society of Libre Echaryisteshas put forth its pro gramme. Its object is to procure the removal of all re strictive and prohibitory duties. It expressly declare:, that " it excludes all political partisanship ; that it does not place itself at the service of any particular branch o industry, of any class or of any portion of the territory It embraces the cause of eternal justice, peace, union, and free intercourse, the fraternity of all mankind, and the cause of the general interest, which is, on all points and under all circumstances. identified with that of the public consumption." The Duke DE BROGLIE has gone to the north of Europe for the purpose, it is said, of making arrange• ments for the reception of a French ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Moniteur Algerien of the 20th says, that Aim EL KADER has retired to Figuix, an oasis in the Sahara of Morocco. It appears that in the chastisement inflicted on the tribe of Dlsirda, on the 17th, by General CAVAIGNAC. several of the victims were females ; but this, says the Ahbar, is inevitable in such melees, as the dress of the females so closely resembles that of the men that a dis tinction cannot be made. nearly the close of business on the Paris Bours( on Monday public securities—stocks and shares— con tinned to improve.

TRIUMPH OF FREE TRADE RE-ELECTION LORD JOHN RUSSELL LONDON HAS DONE ITS DUTY London has proved itself worthy of being the metropolis of this great empire. It has accorded nobly with the lofty and benign spirit of the age—with that spirit of freedom and liberality which has so recently destroyed the bulwarks of monopoly. London has this day elected as its representative the Prime Minister of Great Britain ; the constituents of this gigantic city have shown themselves ready to co-operate in the struggle for freedom—not only in commerce, but in all our social relations—now engaging the ener gies and abilities of our wisest statesman. It is something altogether without precedent, and hence the more in accordance with these me morable times, to behold the First Minister of this country on the hustings of the capital of England, calling upon the citizen-electors to return him to the British Parliament as their representative. It is something, we repeat it, peculiarly worthy of this re markable juncture in the legislative system, and aware of this fact, and conscious that the eyes of their countrymen were concentrated upon their behaviour under these circumstances, the enfranchised inhabitants of our good city have responded to the call of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the manner which was alone suitable to the occasion. The Prime Minister of England has been returned, not by a majority, but by an unanimity, as the repre sentative of the free electors of London in the English House of Commons. Much, however, as we are rejoiced at this circumstance, regarding it as a propitious augury of the new Ad ministration, we cannot induce ourselves to regard it as anything more than the commencement of a - series , of similar triumphs in the various boroughs vacated by the change of Ministry. It is a glorious commencement without question, but no less a commencement. We feel assured the Premier's return as the Member for the City of London, and from the jubilation of which the walls of Guild hall have scarcely ceased vibrating, is little less than the ovation of •ne of the victors of the free-trade conquest. It cannot be forgotten that in the Quixotic crusade against Sir ROBERT'S last glorious measure, the Protectionist party insisted that the population of England regarded that question only with a feeling of indifference and apathy. Here is the first indication of the popular sentiments in regard to that wonderful achiev ment ; and what is the nature of that indi cation ? Is the triumphant return of the Free trade Premier by the citizens of the English metro polis a specimen of popular apathy, forsooth? It is, on the contrary, the most emphatic acquiescence which a single constituency could have pronounced in those measures which the manifesto of Lord Joust Russsu. towards the '.close of 1845 tended so materially to assure. Let the other boroughs throughout the kingdom emulate the behaviour of the London electors, let them prove themselves suitable respondents to the centre of the social and commercial system of these islands. The first incident in the RUSSELL Adminis tration has been the return of the Prime Minister as the representative of the greatest city in the world. This, we take it, is something more than auspicious—it is the first of a procession of Ministerial triumphs. THE SUGAR QUESTION. We understand that the question of the Sugar Duties will be settled without delay. The present duty of fourteen shillings per cwt. on home-grown will be reduced to ten shillings, and the duty on foreign from 235. 6d. to 155., which rates will con tinue until 1849, when the differential duty of ss. on foreign and slave will be abolished, and one uni form duty will be charged hereafter on all sugars whatever, without distinction as to the place of their growth. This augurs well! MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. At the Privy Council appointed to be held at half past two o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Pa lace, the principal Officers of State of the Queen's Household, Lords LIVERPOOL, DELAWARE, and JER SEY, will resign their offices of Lord Steward, Lord Chamberlain, and Master of the Horse, and will, it is expected, be replaced by Lords FORTESCUE and SPENCER, and the Duke of NORFOLK. The Vice-Chamberlain, Lord ERNEST BRUCE, and the Controller of the Household, Colonel DAWSON DAMES, are also expected to resign their respective offices this day, the latter to be succeeded by Lord MARCUS HILL. The new Ministerial arrangements being com pleted, her MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT are expected to take their departure to-morrow (Thursday) from town, on their return to Osborne House, Isle of Wight. _ In gratitude to that illustrious Association which has so recently achieved for us the emancipation of commerce from all unnatural imposts, and in remem brance of the moral valour, the integrity, the untiring zeal, and the abilities displayed during seven sue cessive years, we feel impelled to respond in a few simple but earnest sentences to the "Farewell Ad dress" from the League, already published in our columns. By a kind of prescriptive right, all societies are accustomed, on their dissolution, to indulge them selves by the expression of considerable self-com placency and self-gratulation. The effect produced by this custom varies of course with the different cha racters of the different "bodies corporate" who thus pronounce over themselves their own funereal pane gyric : some elicit our merriment by the disproportion of their services and of their eulogiums ; others, on the contrary, c ompel us to coinc ide in their laudator y sentiments by the extreme utility of their career — their words are assented to because their deeds have been so conspicuously worthy of commendation. Precisely of the latter class was that gigantic body which with one weapon alone, that of reason, environed by one prestige alone, that of unanimity, and defended by one safeguard alone, that of peace fulness, has fought the good fight of the people and gained a victory over the minds and the hearts of their most obdurate antagonists. Having done so much, and having done it moreover so admirably, it becomes only a source of the sincerest satisfaction to di scover in the "Farew e ll Ad dress" of the organ of that association the conscious ness of its own pacific and beneficent qualities. What squeamish modesty of phrase ought, indeed, to be rationally expected from a huge society like the League, when it is remembered that its triumph is in truth " not of force, but of reason ; not of ambition, but of benevolence ; not of a party, but of the United Empire ; and, we might add, of the universal humanity ?" It is only consistent, however, to the spirit which has through out its memorable course presided over its councils, in accompanying its language of jubilation at the achievement of free trade with nothing in the slight est degrr capable of arousing the animosity, of embittering the discomfiture, or of agitating the a•ositivaness of the defeated faction.

RUSELL (THIS DAY) The defeat of the late Government on the Irish Coercion Bill, and their consequent resignation, having led to the formation of a new Ministry by Lord John Russell, this day was fixed for the nomination, and, in the absence of all op position, re-election of the Noble Lord, on his accepting office as First Lord of the Treasury. The Liverymen of London were astir at an early hour, and the neighbourhood of the Guildhall presented, therefore, an appearance at once interesting and impressive—interesting from the number of persons assembled, and most impressive, because of the great moral purpose which had called them together. The dis tinctive features of the day were widely different from any previous election that we can remember: then men looked grave, as if they had to struggle for a great right ; now they seemed as if they congratulated each other that that right had been obtained. There were not the usual number of placards to be seen, nor was the Hall adorned with the diver.. -,ity of colours that had been exhibited heretofore ; Lord John Russell was the " burden "of all the bills, with one solitary exception, one proposing a penny national testimo nial to Sir Robert Peel, to which were attached the n Imes of Colonel Thompson and Captain Polhill, M.P. At a quarter past eleven Lord John Russell arrived in the Hall, accompanied by the members of his committee, and was enthusiastically greeted by the Liverymen assembled. There were upwards of three thousand persons present in Guildhall when business commenced. The side gallerie were filled with ladies. Among the persons on the platform we observed :—J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., A. W. Roberts, Esq., D. Salomons, Esq., S. J. Loyd, Esq., James Morrison, Esq., M.P., Prevost, Esq., Sir R. B. Phillips, William Hawes, Esq., J. J. Travers, Esq., H. L. Keeling, Esq., B. Colvin, Esq., S. S. Whitbread, Esq., Sir G. Larpent, Sir E. N. Bux ton, Bart., Alderman Sir J. Duke, Baron L. Rothschild, Alderman Humphery, M.P., Foster, Esq., M.P., J. A. Hankey, Esq., T. A. Hankey, Esq., G. F. Prescott, Esq., J. Pattison, Esq., M.P., Alderman Thomas Wood, and William Wilkinson, Esq. At twelve o'clock precisely the Sheriffs, the Under-Sheriffs, and several of the Aldermen, entered the Hall. The proclamation, the writ, and the oaths of bribery and corruption having been read in the usual form, Mr. Sheriff CHAPLIN came forward and said—Gentlemen and brother electors, public notice having been given of a writ being issued for a representative for the City of London, in consequence of Lord John Russell's having accepted the office of Prime Minister of the empire, I now call on you to fulfil your duties as electors in that gentlemanly and proper manner which has always distinguished the citizens 01 London. SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., came forward to propose the re-election of Lord John Russell, and was received with loud and general cheering. He said he felt great satisfaction in coming before them on the present occasion, when they had been called together for the purpose of discharging a great and important duty.—(Hear, hear.) He felt that a solemn duty devolved on them as the citizens of a free country, but at the same time he felt the utmost confidence that that duty would be performed in a satisfactory and dignified manner. He should not detain them at any great length, as it would be more appropriate Ind satisfactory that they should hear from the Noble Lord. whom he had the honour to propose, an explanation of the circumstances that hail led him to accept of office, and the views that he entertained on the measures which he thought would prove advantageous to the country. But there was one questien to which he would shortly call their attention—a topic of great and paramount importance, with the triumph of which the Noble Lord was intimately identified. He alluded to the question of free trade. When they last met in that Hall that great principle was in a different position. They then met under very dif ferent feelings and circumstances. The country had then made up its mind upon the question, and was preparing to put orth its utmost strength for the mortal struggle. But the battle had been fought and won—all they then sought had been achieved, and the triumph was complete.— (Cheers.) The question of free trade had passed through the ordeal of public discussion, and the measure had become the law of the land. Where, he would ask, had ever such a momentous and important question received such support from the public opinion, the intelligence, the virtue, and integrity of 'the country ? ( Hear, hear.) Had that measure not been successful he considered a severe and discouraging blow would have been truck at the trade and commerce of the country, though then he had such faith in the energy of Englishmen that he , would not have despaired, as he believed they would have righted themselves. But it had been otherwise, — success had attended their efforts.—(Loud cheers.) rhe system of protection had been tried and found to be a great legislative error—(Hear, hear)—an ,e-ror the cause of incalculable mischief. Who now did not see that and feel that protection had been injurious?—ex 'erience had fairly shown that in every respect it had proved injurious to the glorious industry of England.—(Cheers.) The truth of this was now generally admitted, but the battle had been bravely and resolutely fought, and the banner of free trade now floated over both Houses of the Legislature; it had been sanctioned by their most gracious sovereign, and it only remained to them to extend its bene. :iris! influence everywhere.— (Hear.) To them remained , he solemn duty to carry out fairly and to the fullest extent this great and salutary measure of free trade. The triumph had been completed, but the fruits remained to be 4athered, and it was for them to do justice to the intelligence and energy of those who had been instrumental in settling the question.—(Hear, hear.) High honour was due to those men who had bestowed their time, their skill, and their great industry to work out this result.—(Hear, hear.) They owed much to the firm. ness and determination of the different classes of society, who had co-operated to realise the triumph of the principle of free trade, which he was certain would be followed by great reciprocal benefits, by the union of all classes of the com munity in the bond of friendship, and by the sacred sympathy if Christian charity and love.—(Cheers.) Honour, he again ,aid, to the great principle which had just triumphed, and to those great moral qualities by which that triumph had been brought about—honour to those who, to establish the principle, had made great personal sacrifices and given unre mitting labour, and especially should they give honour to the Noble Lord, who, during the struggle, had shown all those great and transcendent qualities for which he had been ever distinguished. They were under deep obligations to him for the able and indefatigable manner in which he had discharged the trust reposed in him.—(Cheers.) Were this the proper occasion, and did he feel that he could trespass so long on their attention, he would be disposed to refer to the exertions of the numerous category of distin e,uished men who had contributed to these results; but, on the present occasion, there was one among them who was peculiarly entitled to their consideration—he meant the noble Lord who came again before the constituency of Lon lon to solicit its confidence.—(Loud cheers.) When he last ►ppeared on these boards, he had the pleasure of proposing the Noble Lord as a Member for the City of London ; and ►hen he did so, it gave him great satisfaction to say that he proposed him as a minister of free trade.—(Cheers.) He .vould now ask, did the Noble Lord redeem that character? —(Cheers.) Did he discharge the trust then reposed in him? Were the results which lie (Mr. Loyd) then predicted would ensue if they would elect the Noble Lord, realised? Let them look at the career of the Noble Lord. In his address to the electors of London he told his tale in all simplicity, arid in few words. He told them that the principles then triumphant would be by him fully developed He told them that though the results of the last general election had dis appointed him, and had not fully carried out the principles which had been asserted at the last election of London, still that perseverance and energy displayed in the advocacy of principles had produced a reaction which now ended in their triumph. The Noble Lord, however, had too much modesty to tell the part he took in these struggles for free trade, and though he fell in the struggle, he placed the question in such a position as to secure their ultimate triumph, and to . . _ make it impossible for any mat to govern this country in any other capacity than as an advocate in some measure or other of these principles.—(Cheers.) The conduct of the Noble Lord put him in mind of a classical story which he read in his younger days, where Ulysses, in order to discover the real character of Achilles, who ap peared before him in female attire, threw down before him a helmet and sword, and at once discovered his disguise. "The hero then went forth and performed those deeds of valour which displayed his prowess and his magnanimity. The sword and the helmet were the great budgets of the Noble Lord. The Noble Lord threw them down before a Tory Minister, and every hour that has elapsed since they were taken up has been marked with an increasing devotion on the part of the Tory Minister to the principles of free trade. Let him now turn to the Noble Lord. How did he act when the measures he proposed had not met with the encouragement and countenance which they had of late received? He gave them a support truly English. (Cheers.) A support as generous as it was noble because given under the suppres sion of many of those feelings which were common to human nature.—(Cheers.) They were now arrived at those circumstances which he would not further refer to, when they found the Noble Lord placed at the head of the councils of his Sovereign, and called upon to develop the great principles which had recently obtained the highest sanction. Let them mark with what clearness , and distinctness the Noble Lord referred in his address to the principles of free trade.--(Hear.) It was the application of that great but simple principle to all its just and legitimate consequences which constituted his noble mission. One point to which he called the atten tion of the electors was the question connected with the go vernment of Ireland. It was not for him to dilate upon the?. subject. But is there any man who has the heart of a Chris tian, or the patriotic feelings of an Englishman, who does not feel that that is a topic painful and distressing in the lust degree, and the statesman who proposes to Oali attention to that subject for the purpose of xßisiati Oa Moral condition of the people of that eonntrb and to bring it into closer ana logy, physically and mor;ily, with that part of the United Kingdom with which it was constitutionally bound, undertook a task of the greatest difficulty, but a task in which he vrilll4§vc fl a cordial splatilie* of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) Next to that, his Noble Friend called attention to a question still more impor tant—the serious question of national education.—(Cheers.) National education was to the mind what the cultivation of :he soil was to their physical wants, the necessity of apply ing to the state of agriculture all the energies and the skill, ell the impulse of competition, and the desire of gain. If the people would but apply all their energies and principles to the great question of national education, much would be done. At present they had done nothing; no person could say, that as citizens and members of a free state they had done that duty which they owed to each other, until they had —in spite of every religious obstacle and every political prejudice—insisted upon it that every human being born ender the auspices of Great Britain should be an educated being.—(Cheers.) Again, subordinate to that question, his Noble Friend had called the attention of the electors to the sanatory condition of the people.—(Cheers.) The sanatory condition of the people of England, they all knew, was defec tive; there were difficulties belonging to the subject they all knew, but his Noble Friend, Lord J. Russell, declared that it should have the serious attention of the Government of which be was the head.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them with tay further remarks upon the subject. He had already trespassed too long upon their attention. He appeared before them as an Englishman, with the feelings of an Englishmen ; and when the just, the true, interests )f the country, were the subjects of discussion, 'se felt his heart warmed, and they must, therefore, excuse the length of his remarks.—(Cheers.) He must be permitted, however, to draw their attention to the subject directly be- Pre them. The Noble Lord had, as he before said, under circuits ,tances of great and momentous, but at the same time ender circumstances truly promising and elevating, been called by the voice of Parliament, and with the con currence of our gracious Sovereign, to the highest station which a subject of this empire ever held. By that act he had ceased to be a Member for the City of London, and the City of London had lost one of its Members. They were then assembled to consider to whom they should confide that trust. He needed not to call upon them by any argu relents or by appeals to their moral feelings. But he pro posed to them cordially, unanimously, and triumphantly, to replace in the hands of the Noble Lord that solemn crust, which he had administered with so nauch ability, and which he will again administer with as much true good faith to them as he had previously done, with such consistent and beneficial results to the interests of all classes of this great country. With those feelings, and with the most perfect, 2onfidence that he could not address to the constituency of the city of London more arguments upon the subject, he would propose that they should re-elect at once Lord fohn Russell as the Member for the City of London. S. GURNEY, Esq., in rising, said that he felt great satis faction in seconding the nomination of his Noble Friend Lord John Russell, and also hoped that they would re-elect with entire unanimity his Honoured Friend to represent he City of London in the present Parliament. After the eloquent address which they had heard, there was riot much room for him to add anything upon the subjects which had been alluded to. There were, however, one or two points on which he wished to say a few words--subjects which were of great interest to his mind, and which had always been supported with great talent, energy, and honesty by his Noble Friend ; and he would state this as an additional reason why that Noble Lord should be returned as Member for the City of London. The great cause of education had been admirably alluded to by his 'riend Mr. S. J. Loyd. When he had stood, year by year, with his Noble Friend, to advocate the claims of the British and Foreign School Society, he could but -ejoice that he had such a Nobleman to represent the city of London. He had supported that cause when it wanted popularity. Other causes he bad also supported when they wanted popularity with equal energy and power. tie would also allude to one other point, and he knew his feelings would be responded to by gentlemen present. He alluded to the abolition of slavery in the British colonies. Deere was no individual but rejoiced in the results of his 4reat support in that noble cause. He admitted that his support in that great cause alone gave him great claims on the electors of the City of London Ind upon all communities of this great country, but espe cially on this great mercantile community. The question of free trade had been spoken to with great effect. He consis tiered that every step which had been taken in that great measure had been attended with great advantages to the country. He perfectly agreed with the principle, whether viewed upon the highest consideration, of a beneficent Providence governing the world, or upon political or financial considerations.—(Cheers.) He did not wish to see the measure divested of this higher prin ciple—he wished it to be always tempered with that feeling of moral rectitude. This feeling should be especially pre served on a question to which he would briefly refer—the sugar question. He desired that all his fellow-citizens should have all things good and sweet, cheap and abundant. But if that goodness and sweetness were to be produced by the lives of the poor, the oppressed and the wretched, it was his opinion that the people of England would be willing to forego them.—(Cheers) Upon that principle alone he de sired free trade to be carried out to its fullest extent. But let the poor and the oppressed be protected from hardship, from misery, and destitution.—(Loud clmrs.) Upon this point there might be some differentia between him end his Noble Friend, but he was quite willing to leave the 'natter (knowing that it would receive his most serious attention) in the judicious hands of his Noble Friend. Ile had very little more to say touching his Noble Friend, except on one or two points. He would ask had the great measures undertaken by the late Administration, and which would have results most beneficial to the country--had they been met with a narrow and paltry opposition?—(Cheers.) lie did not know a man more likely to carry out the great measures of commercial reform than his Hon. Friend Lord John Russell, and he considered that it would be a great loss to the people of England if he did not receive their una nimous support. He had, therefore, great satisfaction of seconding his nomination, and when the day of election should come again, he felt sure they would receive the Noble Lord with equal satisfaction as they had done upon that day.—(Cheers.) Mr. CHAPLIN then demanded if there was another candi date.—(Loud cries of" No, no.") No other candidate having been named, a show of hands was taken, and the Sheriff then declared that Lord John Russell had been duly elected to represent the City of London. The announcement was received with loud and long-con tinned cheering, which was again and again repeated when the Noble Lord made his appearance upon the platform. Lord Joni; RUSSELL, when silence was in some degree restored, said,—Gentlemen —On Monday last her Majesty was graciously pleased to desire that I should kiss her hand as First Lord Commissioner of the Treasury ; to-clay you have done me the distinguished honour of electing me as the representative of this great city, the metropolis of the com merce of Europe and the world. Gentlemen, such honours, while they fill me with gratitude, at the same time inspire me with awo.—(Hear, hear.) I cannot venture to say that I can adequately discharge the duties imposed upon me ; but, at all events, I am deter mined to exert myself to the utmost of my ability. In looking back to the measures which I have proposed, to the principles which I have asserted, to the votes which I have given, I can say that I stand here to carry into effect those measures, to give life to those principles which I have ever ad vocated. Gentlemen, when you did me the honour to invite me to become a candidate for this city, I stated at the first meeting of the electors, that I conceived the principle of levying duties for protection was injudicious and unwise ; and I stated to you that having a great debt, of which we, had honestly to discharge the interest, and having great establishments of navies and armies, which it was necessary for this country to maintain, it was right and lawful to impose taxes to discharge those exigencies. But that taxes which were imposed upon the produce of the land, and of which the income was to go, not into the Ex chequer, but into the pockets of individuals—(Cheers)-- I then said that these taxes were totally un just, and that they should be put an end te. Such, gentlemen, were the principles which I came forward to support, and which I am happy to congratulate you are now triumphant.—(Hear, bear.) Now, gentlemen, I have never attempted, nor will I attempt now, to assume to myself, or to assume to those who have acted with me, all or any of the honour of carrying out these great principles—l will notbe backward in according it freely to those men who, headed by Mr. Charles Villiers, ad vocated them in the House of Commons—(Hear, hear) —who brought them under the consideration, and urged them upon the attention of Parliament, in a manner the most unanswerable. I will not either refuse that honour which is most justly due to those who, headed by Mr. Cobden, and inspired by the soundest philosophy, exhausted their strength of body and the energies of their mind in instructing the people of this country in the great traths which they had made it their business to elueidate.—(Cheers.) Nor, gentle men, will I be Churlish in refusing any particle of that ho nour which is due to Sir Robert Peel for bringing forward his great commercial measure, and for the untiring energy and ability with which he and his colleagues persevered in carrying it through Par liament.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not say what is due to those who in 1839 and 1840, and, lastly, in the budget of 1841, endeavoured to embody these principles in an Act of Parliament. I will leave it for others to recount their exertions, and to say what proportion of the honour is due to them, but there Is one thing which I cannot omit to say, and that is, that no efforts of statesmen in Parliament, no efforts of orators at meetings of the people, no exertions made in the Houses of Parliament, Wo u ld h ave been successful, had it not been that the intelligence of th , , great body of the people of this country had finally I:ecided the conflict.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I was passing six months a n d a ago, the great 'recollect what :year' meetings that were held, th e f'ervid speeches that were made , the excitement that . preva „ Ilea the invectives that were used—whet renl ember, too, how qu i e tl y t h at grea t measure e repeal of the corn -laws has been discussed in the House Of Commons and the House of Lords, and by a majority of these two bodies has been carried into a law—l cannot but admire that which bits been supposed by some to be rather a superstition than an ascertained truth, namely, the simplicity and admirable working of the English Constitution.— (Cheers.) And, gentlemen, when I observe all that fervour , It seems to me t o resem bl e t h a t w hi c h an y one may see i n the great iron-works of this country, where you see large cauldrons full of melted iron, apparently enough to destroy-- to set on fire the whole building; but yet, by the _ skill of those wh o h ave c h arge o f i t, carried into determined channels, moved into its destined receptac le then carriedabout from place t o pl ace , mov i ng rap idly al 11 7 and yet injuring nothing—and, finally, its object is acc ° ,„ plished, and itis converted int o w h ee l s i n a f act . ry or picot; :hares in a field.—(Cheers.) Thus all the fusion, all heat, all that was apparently dangerous, passes into the mkt facturing districts, and becomes finally the means of usr r; .. „! facture and agriculture, for spreading comfort and throughout the length and breadth of the (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, . 1 ells trust that this principle will be still carried on in the ese ° oo , over which I shall bave th e h onour to pres i de, and call° I safely and beneficially for the community.—(Hear, hear ) * will not touch upon that subject upon which my friend , Gurney, is supposed to have addressed you. Upon flat s : 5 , ject I may have shortly to address the House of Consul ° I/ but Ido say as a p r i nc i p l e — a general principle—that svb i, l s may be necessa r y t o k eep up certain duties for 'of purposes of revenue, w hi c h i n di rectly have the dets protection, that we ought t o d o away w i th that duty solely and entirely include protection.—(Hear, hear.)
