' SECOND EDITION. - tralVallit LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1846. 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 Joux 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 than the ovation of one 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 JOHN RUSSELL 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 cit . ) 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, DELAWARR, 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 DAMER, 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, Lie 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 suc 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, compel us to coincide in their laudatory 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, i t b eco mes only a source of the sincerest satisfaction to discover in the " Farewell 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 degree capable of arousing the animosity, of embittering the discomfiture, or of agitating the sensitiveness of the defeated faction. A very genial good-heartedness pervades the entire address ; it is peculiarly and essentially accordant with the digni fied bearing always preserved by the Anti-Corn-law League. Nor is it indeed the least remarkable cir cumstance, in connexion with the history of that re markable association, that, whereas it was composed of a vast multitude of persons of all varieties of reli gious creeds, of all varieties of pursuits, and of all varieties of temperament, it avoided, throughout its existence, not only all turbulence and insubordination, but any single difference or squabble amongst its mem bers. 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 maving 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 inflicted upon 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 fur repeal as ,umed 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 . A 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 schemes, 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 Air. 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 Alember, 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 oblivion. 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 Jay." 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 Parliament, LO Dring fvt war 0,0 qucat;on of ropoal. trust that he will be induced to forbear bringing this subject under the notice of the Legislature, by tf• enunciation that will be previously made of " the most comprehensive measures," which Lord JOHN RITSSELL, 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, "be 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 will be no longer withheld, that, in an enlarged and philanthropical spirit, all her grievances Rill be righteously removed, and that then, with its hopes fulfilled, the Repeal Association, like the Anti-Corn law League, will die a natural death. The A ugsburgh 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 Saltzbourg, but it is doubtful whether the direct com munication between Saltzbourg and Dwino will be by the railway through 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. OUSTINOI7, who, a few years ago was Russian Councillor of Em bassy 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 time that city was perfectly tranquil. The organisation of the National Guard was progressing. It was rumoured in Madrid on the 29th that the Portu guese Government had addressed a note to that of Spain complaining of the friendly reception given to the two ex-Ministers of Portugal, the CABRAL& The reports of the alleged Miguelite excesses were not credited in ' 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 utmosi; severity any attempt of the Carlists to disturb public order. Apprehensions were also enter tained of a Carlist outbreak in Catalonia. The Government had accepted the resignation, by the Marquis of PENA FLoniDA, 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 bad received from the Spanish Go ♦: 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, JUICE 30.--Three per Ce n t s . 33% f or ; cash, 34 paper Five per Cents., 20% paper ; Debt without Interest, 6% for cash. Exchange on Loncion, 36%. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all cor.tain articles on the construction of thc• 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 differeoces 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 Jonx 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 ConAtitutionnel expresses its good wishes towards the new English Cabinet, and even the National no longer sees cause of offence in the advent of Lord PALMERSTON to office. It says, Noi ther peace nor war, neither good nor evil relations, depend on the oxietence of such or such a Minister, or the triumph of such or such a party in England. Let Lord PALMERSTON succeed Lot d ABERDEEN, or Lord J. RUSSELL Sir R. PEEL, the reci. procal dispositions of the two nations, the relations ol• the two Governments, will not be better or worse for it.

The ordonnance dissolving the Chamber of Deputies was signed by the KING on Monday. The society of Libre Echaryistes has put forth its pro gramme. Its object is to procure the removal of all re strictive and prohibitory duties. It expressly declares 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 circumstanoes. identified with that of the public consumption."

It appears that in the chastisement inflicted on the tribe of Msirda, on the 17th, by General CAVAIGNAC, several of the victims were females ; but this, says the A/bar, 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.

(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 one( 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 an 3 previous election that we can remember: then men looker, grave, as if they had to struggle for a great right; now the . ) seemed as if they congratulated each other that that right had been obtained. There were not the usual number o' placards to be seen, nor was the Hall adorned with the diver city of colours that had been exhibited heretofore ; Lore John Russell was the "burden "of all the bills, with on. solitary exception, one proposing a penny national testimo nial to Sir Robert Peel, to which were attached the n imes o Colonel Thompson and Captain Polhill, M.P. At a quarter past eleven Lord John Russell arrived in th. Hall, accompanied by the members of his committee, am. was enthusiastically greeted by the Liverymen assembled. There were upwards of three thousand persons presen• 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. Robarts, Esq.. D. Salomons, E-q., S. J. Loyd, Esq., James Morrison, Esq. M.P., Prevost, Esq , Sir R. B. Phillips, William Halve, 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 Willian Wilkinson, Esq. At twelve o'clock precisely the Sheriffs, the Under-Sheriff, and several of the Aldermen, entered the Hall. The proclamation, the writ, and the oaths of bribery an( corruption having been read in the usual form, Mr. Sheriff CuArux came forward and said—Gentlemet and brother electors, public notice having been given of c. writ being issued for a representative for the City of London in consequence of Lord John Russell's having accepted th. office of Prime Minister of the empire, I now call on you t. fulfil your duties as electors in that gentlemanly and prope manner which has always distinguished the citizens o London. SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., came forward to propose th , re-election of Lord John Russell, and was received with lout and general cheering. He said he felt great satisfaction ii coming before them on the present occasion, whe they had been called together for the purpose o 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 th, utmost confidence that that duty would be performed in satisfactory and dignified manner. He should not detait 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 o he circumstances that had led him to accept o office, and the views that be entertained on th, measures which he thought would prove advantageous ti he country. But there was one question to which he woul( 'ihortly call their attention—a topic of great and paramours: importance, with the triumph of which the Noble Lord was intimately identified. He alluded to the question of fre , trade. When they last met in that Hall that great principle was in a different position. They then met under very dit ferent feelings and circumstances. The country had then mad. 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 ha , been achieved, and the triumph was complete.—(Cheers.) Th , question of free trade had passed through the ordeal of publi. discussion, and the measure bad 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 10 considered a severe and discouraging blow would have beet -truck at the trade and commerce of the country, thougl nen he had (itch faith in the energy of Englishmen that hi could not have despaired, as he believed they would have ighted themselves. But it had been otherwise,— uccess had attended their efforts.—(Loud cheers.) he system of protection bad been tried am, -,Lteel to be a great legislative error—(Hear, hear)—ar .rror the cause of incalculable mischief. Who now did no, -re that and feel that protection had been injurious?—ex erience had fairly shown that in every respect it had prove( .ijurious to the glorious industry of England. , —(Cheers. ) he truth of this was now generally admitted, but du tattle had been bravely and resolutely fought, an.: •he banner of free trade now floated over both Houses of th, ,egislature ; it had been sanctioned by their most graciou ,overeign, and it only remained to them to extend its bene icial influence everywhere.—(Hear.) To them remainet he solemn duty to carry out fairly and to the fullest extent this great and salutary measure of free trade. Th. triumph had been completed, but the fruits remained to la 4athered, and it was for them to do justice to the ntelligence and energy of those who had been instrumental it settling the question.—( Hear, hear.) High honour vas due to those men who had bestowed their time, their , kill, and their great industry to work out this - esult.—Hear, hear.) They owed much to the firm r,ess and determination of the different classes of society, wh o lad co-operated to realise the triumph of the principle of ree trade, which he was certain would be followed by great -eciprocal benefits, by the union of all classes of the com• eunity in the bond of friendship, and by the sacred sympathy , f Christian charity and love.—(Cheers.) Honour, he again -aid, to the great principle which had just triumphed, and o those great moral qualities by which that triumph had teen brought about—honour to those who, to establish the einciple, 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 . . he present occasion, there was one among them who was peculiarly entitled to their consideration—he meant the N'oble Lord who came again before the constituency of Lon ton to solicit its confidence.—(Loud cheers.) When he last ippeared on these boards, he had the pleasure of proposing the Noble Lord as a Member for the City of London; and filen he did so, it gave him great satisfaction to say that he proposed him as a minister of •free trade.—(Cheers.) He would now ask, did the Noble Lord redeem that character? —(Cheers.) Did he discharge the trust then reposed in him? Were the results which ,he (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, and 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 iu the struggle, he placed the question in such ...cure their triumph, and to make it impossible for any man 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- Lion of the electors was the question connected with the go vernment of Ireland. It was not for him to dilate upon that 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 last degree, and the statesman who proposes to call attention to that subject for the purpose of raising the moral condition of the people of that country, and to bring it into closer ana logy, physically and morally, 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 will have the cordial sympathies of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) Next to that, his Noble Friend called attention to a question still more impor ,ant—the serious question of national education.—(Cheers.) National education was to the mind what the cultivation of the soil was to their physical wants, the necessity of apply ing to the state of agriculture all the energies and the skill, all 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 bad 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 under 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 sondition of the people of England, they all knew, was defec .ive ; there were difficulties belonging to the subject they all enew, but his Noble Friend, Lord J. Russell, declared that it .hould have the serious attention of the Government of which ae was the head.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them with say further remarks upon the subject. He had already trespassed too long upon their attention. He appeared before hem as an Englishman, with the feelings of an ifatglishmen ; and when the just, the true, interests if the country, were the subjects of discussion, to felt his heart warmed, and they must, therefore, excuse he length of his remarks.—(Cheers.) He must be permitted, towever, to draw their attention to the subject directly be ore them. The Noble Lord bad, as he before said, under circu , tances of great and momentous, but at the same time inder circumstances truly promising and elevating, been ailed by the voice of Parliament, and with the con mrrence of our gracious Sovereign, to the highest station which a subject of this empire ever held. By that act he tad ceased to be a Member for the City of London, and the .3ity of London had lost one of its Members. They were hen assembled to consider to whom they should confide .hat trust. He needed not to call upon them by any argu nents or by appeals to their moral feelings. But be pro sosed to them cordially, unanimously, and triumphantly, to -eplace in the bands of the Noble Lord that solemn rust, which he had administered with so :much ability, and .vhich he will again administer with as much true good faith to them as he had previously done, with such consistent and )eneficial results to the interests of all classes of this great sountry. With those feelings, and with the most perfect, snifidence that he could not address to the constituency bf the city of London more arguments upon the subject, to would propose that they should re-elect at once Lord folin Russell as the Member for the City of London. S. GURNEY, Esq., in rising, slid that he felt great satis 'Action in seconding the nomination of his Noble Friend ..ord John Russell, and also hoped that they would re-elect sith 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 of much room for him to add anything upon the subjects vhich had been alluded to. There were, however, one or two ,oints on which he wished to say a few words—subjects vhich were of great interest to his mind, and which bad always been supported with great talent. energy, and honesty ty his Noble Friend ; and he would state this as an ,dditional reason why that Noble Lord should te returned as Member for the City of London. The great ause of education had been admirably alluded to by his •riend Mr. S. J. Loyd. When he had stood, year by ;ear, with his Noble Friend, to advocate the claims of he British and Foreign School Society, he could but • ejoice that he had such a Nobleman to represent the airy of London. He had supported that cause when t wanted popularity. Other causes he bad also supported .when they wanted popularity with equal energy and power. le would also allude to one other point, and he knew his 'eelings would be responded to by gentlemen present. He alluded to the abolition of slavery in the British colonies. ['here was no individual but rejoiced in the results of his treat support in that noble cause. He admitted hat his support in that great cause alone gave aim great claims on the electors of the City of London and upon all communities of this great country, but espe ially on this great mercantile community. The question of roe trade had been spoken to with great effect. He consi :ered that every step which had been taken in that great measure had been attended with great advantages to the :ountry. He perfectly agreed with the principle, whether viewed upon the highest consideration, of beneficent Providence governing the world, or ipon political or financial considerations.—( Cheers.) He lid not wish to see the measure divested of this higher prin :iple—he wished it to be always tempered with that feeling , f moral rectitude. This feeling should be especially pre served on a question to which he would briefly refer—the .ugar question. He desired that all his fellow-citizens should lave all things good and sweet, cheap and abundant. ilut if that goodness and sweetness were to be produced by he lives of the poor, the oppressed and the wretched, it was ais opinion that the people of England would be willing to rorego them.—(Cheers) Upon that principle alone he de ,fired 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 cheers.) Upon this point there might be some difference between him end his Noble Friend, but he was quite willing to leave the matter (knowing that it would receive his most serious attention) in the judicious hant 3 s of his Noble Friend. tie had very little more to say touching his Noble Friend, , xcept on one or two points. He would ask had the great neasures undertaken by the late Administration, and which would have results most beneficial to the country—had they aeen met with a narrow and paltry opposition?—(Cheers.) He 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 •late.—(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 Joint 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-say 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 awe.—(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 arc now triumphant.—(Hear, hear.) 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 not be backwarn 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 Pariament, in a manner the most unanswerable. I will not either refuse that honour which I* most justly due to those who, headed by Mr. Cobden, an, inspired by the soundest philosophy, exhausted their strength of body and the energies of their mind in instructing thr people of this country in the great truths which they had inadeit their business to elucidate.—(Cheers.) Nor, gentle.' men, will I be churlish in refusing any particle of that ho nour which is due to Sir Robert Peel for bringi4 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, would have been successful, had it not been that the intelligence of the great body of the people of this country had finally decided the conflict.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I recollect wha t was passing six months and a year ago, the great meetings that were held, the fervid speeches that were made , the excitement th a t p reva il e d , the invectives that were used—when I remember, too, how quietly that great measure of a repeal of the corn-laws has been discussed in the Hot's, 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 has been supposed by some to be rathe , a superstition than an ascertained truth, namely, the simplicit3 and admirable working of the English Constitution. — (Cheers.) And, gentlemen, when ' observe all that fer . vour . it seems to m e t o resemble that which any one may seem the great iron -works of this country, where you see large cauldrons full of me lt e d i ron, apparent l y enoug h t o destroy— to set on fire the whole building; but yet, by the skill of those who have charge of it, carried into determined channels, moved into its destined receptacleee then carried about from place to place, moving rapidly along and yet injuring nothing—and, finally, its object Is accom plished, and it is converted into wheels in a factory or plough.. shares in a field —(Cheers.) Thus all the fusioi, all the hest, all that was apparently dangerous, passes into the mimue facturing districts, and becomes finally the means of manu facture and agriculture, for spreading comfort and plenty throughout the length and breadth of the (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, I do trust that this principle will be still carried on in the councils over which I shall have the honour to preside, and carried on safely and beneficially for the community.—(Hear, hear.) I will not touch upon that subject upon which my friend, Mr. Gurney, is supposed to have addressed you. Upon that sub ject I may have shortly to address the House of Commons; but Ido say as a principle —a general principle—that while it may be necessary to keep up certain duties for the purposes of revenue, which indirectly have the effect of protection, that we ought to do away with that duty which solely and entirely include protection.—(Hear, hear.) That is, we ought to impose our taxes for the benefit of all the community, and not for the advantage of one class.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I do trust that the principle will ere long be adopted by other nations of the world. There are two especially, with whom we have the greatest relations, which I will now mention, and one is our immediate neighboar. The kingdom of France ruled over by a Prince the most enlightened, who has contributed by his sagacity to preserve the peace of Europe.—(Hear.) I trust he may find that his Chamber will concur with him in re nouncing the errors of the commercial systetuN which now prevails in that country.—( Hear, hear.) The other country to which I shall allude is the United States of America, from which we have received such gra tifying intelligence.—(Hear, bear.) And I do rejoice that, while such angry feelings were at one time expressed in that country, that the wisdom of:the Senate of the United States has overruled ail those angry sentiments, and has decided in favour of peace between them and us, which I trust may endure for ages.—(Cheers.) And I do trust that the prin ciples of commercial freedom will soon prevail, and that our intercourse with them may tend to the happiness of both of those nations —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have spoken in the address which I had the honour of directing to you, of the tasks which yet remain—of our tasks which I am sure Will be rendered at least more easy to undertake when we have given up this unprofitable task of attempting to direct the industry of the country, better than the industry of the country can direct itself—(Hear, hear)—for this, in fact, is a;1 the princip eof free trade. It is not, as some choose to represent it, a strange and dangerous theory; it is nothing else than a true system of legislation, by which we are ente abled to direct the industry of the country, to direct the markets of the country, and to enable the poor people of this country to be employed in honest labour. Where they should buy, and at what time they should sell—that is a subject upon which legislation can do nothing.— (Hear, hear.) The wisest House of Lords and the most virtuous House of Commons that ever ex isted cannot legislate so well upon this subject as the butcher, the farmer, and the artisan in their own markets and their own shops.—(Cheers.) 'Well, then, gentlemen, if we can get rid of this futile attempt, there then remains the subject of public education, upon which, I think, it behoves the Government, it behoves the Legislature, to attempt a more extended system of education in this country.—(Hear, hear.) Of course, I mention no plan, I allude to no scheme; but, with regard to education, I will only say this, that no plan can be good, or worthy of the adoption of Parliament, which does not sanction and maintain the principle of religious liberty.—(Loud cheers.) Religious liberty was the subject of many contests ; our an cestors fought for it, and gave their blood to obtain it, and it is not in these days that we ought to cripple or in any way to restrain it.—(Hear, hear.) It should •be ours rather to carry that principle to its fullest extent —(Hear and cheers)—and to maintain that, whatever civil laws we may enact, man shall worship God according to his own belief—(Cheers)—and not according to the belief of others, but his own conscience. —(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, having addressed these sentiments to you in. return for the manner in which I have been proposed, and in which I have been elected a Member for this great city, I must express again my great fears that my powers may be insufficient for the task that I have undertaken, but if they could be at all commen surate to my wishes, I should then hope to see peace, liberty, and commerce flourish amongst us to all- generations.-- (Loud cheers.) The NOBLE LORD, after the cheering had abated, proposed the thanks of the Court to the Sheriffs for the able manner in which they had discharged their duties that day. S. J. LOYD, Esq. having seconded the resolution, it W 8 put and unanimously carried. Mr. Sheriff LAURIE, on behalf of himself and his colleague (Mr. Sheriff Chaplin), in acknowledging the compliment said that he was delighted to see so harmonious a meeting, and he, in conjunction with his col league, felt also highly delighted that .they had returned Lord John Russell, the Prime Minister, es their representative in Parliament. And he took that op portunity of thanking his Lordship, for having, in his ad dress to the electors, mentioned a topic that had not been touched upon by any Hon. Gentleman who had ad dressed them—he meant the treatment of criminals —(Hear, hear)—and he (Mr. Sheriff Laurie) did cont.!'" that a remedy must and should be provided for the poor Pri soner after he had been released from gaol—atter be bad been tried and re-tried, and convicted and re-convicted again and again.—(l - lear, hear.) He was delighted to find that his Lordship was likely to take this sub ject into his merciful consideration—(Loud cheering) and would not refuse to grant an inquiry and provide a re medy. He (Mr. Sheriff Laurie) was sure he must congra tulate his fellow-citizens and himself upon the election of the Noble Lord as the representative of the chief city of this country.—( Hear, hear.) Considering the noble line of ancestors to which he belonged— considering his abilities and other high qualities—he did say that it was a proud day for the City of London to have elected Lord John Russell as their representative.- - (Cheers.) He could only say, in conclusion, that he felt de lighted at the proceedings of that day, and he and his Hon. Colleague felt greatly obliged to the Court for their approba• tion of their conduct on this occasion. —(Cheers.) The Court then adjourned. The Noble Lord on leaving was loudly cheered by the persons standing in Guildhall-yard, King-street, &c., nor did the civic authorities escape a share of the laudation which was so plentifully besprinkled on all the prominent Liberals that were present on this occasion. CRIMINAL COURT--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice lirmunms, and the LORD MAYOR). John Bannister Falkner and Bentham Fabian, merchants, who were remanded from last session, were placed this moin-• ing at the bar, indicted for the forgery of railway scrip to large amount. kr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecution, applied to have the trial postponed, on account of the absence of Richards, a principal witness for the prosecution, who , though not examined before the magistrate, had yet given an undertaking to appear. Mr. BA LI„tNTINE, as counsel for the prisoners, opposed the application, unless his clients were admitted to bail. The COURT remitted the case to next sessions, and admit ted the prisoners to bail, themselves in 500/. each, and four sureties in 40/. each. POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.— William Lee, a letter carrier t the Martin's- le-Grand, owntaasinga placed n r a d l i e l t ' e o d s t s e t , e S a t l n A n stealing a a r t i po 's st - letter, in sovereign, addressed to Miss Ebhard, Chelsea C o ll ege. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarkson prosec u t e d ; and Mr. Bal aat the bar, Gen lantine /was retained for the defence. Elizabeth Ebhard, who resides at Cheltenham, being sworn, said she was staying in June last, at Exmouth, whence she sent a letter to her sister inclostng two small notes, and a sovereign folded in tissue paper. The witness identified the envelope, the two notes, and the tissue paper produced in Court, as the same which she had folded up. Thirza Law, the servant maid, proved putting the letter in the post-office. Wm. Stevenson, a clerk at the General Post-office, said the prisoner was a letter carrier there. Witness was at the office on the 26th June, when the Exmouth bag came, which be opened, and deposited the contents on the table. These letter., should have been carried by the prisoner and four other persons to the stamping table. Six persons in all had access to the letters. Robert Tyrrell, one of the constables at the Post-office, said he was statioted at the basement of the office, watching at the close wired grating over the water-clo sets, to see what .night b going on. This grating gave him the perfect com mand of all that was tra nsacte d there. The prisoner was seen going into the water-closet about eight o'clock, and after being there a short time was observed to drop before him a piece of writing- paper. He again put his hands in his coat-pocket, and brought out a smith piece of white thin paper, rolled up in shape of a coin, which he unfolded once or twice, and put something in his pocket. The constable signalled to his neighbour, who took his place at the grating, and he went down and laid hold of the prisoner, asking him at the same time, what Le had put down the water-closet? The prisoner answered, " Nothing, except what he had been using." He was then searched when, besides some small change, a sovereign was f ound in his waistcoat-pocket, and in the pocket of his coat a canvas-bag tightly tied up contain ing a sovereign and thirteen shillings. A plumber was got who opened the closet, when the piece of tissue paper was round, the two notes, and an envelcpe. Wm. Peat, the other constable, saw the prisoner d r op a piece of paper b e f ore hi m from his left hand, and with his right hand put something in his left waistcoat-pocket. The plumber was called, who corroborated the evidence already given, which closed the case. Mr. BAL LANTINE a dd ressed the jury in defence. Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up the evidence, and, in the course of his remarks to the jury, expressed his surprise that any person, when they could obtain a Yost -office order, should put people in the way of temptation. Much, very much of the crime committed in the world, would be pre vented by exercising ordinary care not to throw temptation in the way, which all were su re ly b oun d to do by every Christian consideration of the interests of their fellow-men. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, who was sentenced to ten years' transportation. _ AIR. MITCHELL'S BENEFIT.—That excellent caterer for the public amusement, and most deserving manag (1, ,lr. Mitchell, takes his benefit at the St. James's theatre this evening. It is solely owing to the persevering .xertions of this gentleman that we are indebted tor the establishment of the French Theatre in London. Not a celebrated artist has appeared upon the French stage whose -ervices have not been immediately secured for the St• James's. Not a successful piece has been produced n Paris but that it has been immediately reproduced by Mr. Mitchell for the amusement of his patrons. Services such ai these deserve a high reward, and the patrons of the French theatre will we trust prove to-night that they are not ungrateful.
