Sun. 1 T=B CITY OF LOYD° v ELECTION.--Last night a crowded meeting was held at the White Hart, Tavern. with reference to candidates for the City at the forthcoming general election. Mr. R. Bateman presided, and the speakers were Mr. C. Gil Pin, Mr. Scobel, Mr. Brook, Mr. Donald, Mr. l iMood, and Mr. Rocroft.

This being the real point, the,Noble Duke raised a collateral issue, " that the pursuers bad not set forth, and did not possess a sufficient title and interest to raise and maintain the action." Had this last-men tioned question depended on the English law, it would have been speedily decided. Any individual could insist on his rights as a member of the body politic, and could put forward a claim on behalf of the public generally, so as to obtain the speedy judgment of a competent tribunal. It was, however, contended that the law of Scotland was less favourable to " the many," and that what were termed " popular ac tions," or suits on behalf of the public, were thereby discouraged, so that a special interest should be averred and shown to entitle the claimant to relief. If these arguments were well founded, it would follow that the Noble Duke, or any landed proprietor in Scotland, could at his mere will and pleasure deprive the public of privileges which had been enjoyed from time immemorial. It is a fundamental principle of the English law, and indeed of every code in the world, that for every wrong there must be an ade quate remedy. This position was, however, denied by the Noble Duke so far as Scotland was concerned. It was, as stated by the LORD CHANCELLOR, "clear, that if the mode adopted were not in accordance with the law of Scotland, there was no other mode by which an individual, who had simply a right gene rally, was able to try the question." It would there fore follow as a matter of course that every man should be entitled to vindicate his right, " and there fore that the attempt on the part of the appellant to limit that right signally and entirely failed." This is the sound common sense view of the subject, and it was distinctly and unequivocally put forward by the LORD CHANCELLOR in moving the judgment of their Lordships, so as to remove every possible doubt or difficulty on the subject. The proceedings will now be renewed before the local tribunals, unless the noble defendant should de termine to relinquish his attempts to obstruct and impede travellers. He has already incurred some degree of unpopularity in consequence of these attempts, and for his own sake we would hope that he will see the propriety of abandoning the contest, now that the point on which he mainly relied has been decided against him. If, as asserted by the pursuers, the road had been recognised as a public road more than forty years since, at a public meeting, over which his ancestor, through whom he derived his title and estates, presided —if that road was actually repaired at the public expense by a money rate levied on the district, a rate to which one of the pur suers was actually a contributor—we are at a loss to conceive what substantial defence on the merits could possibly be set up. Let us hope, then, that the Duke will, even at the eleventh hour, adopt the magnanimous , course befitting his rank and station, and that the unseemly contentions that have arisen may be promptly and permanently set at rest. A graceful concession would, even at this stage of the proceedings, remove the unpleasing, impressions that have gone abroad, and induce tourists not to abuse the privileges which, if imme ~ it i . num aim LONDON, SATURDAY. TUNE 5, 1852. An important declaration has reached this country from the opposite banks of the Rhine—a declaration that Germany regards with profound satisfaction the course pursued by the PRINCE PRESIDENT of France, both in reference to his foreign policy and to his sys tem of domestic government. It is avowed, indeed, by those who are there watching the progress of events throughout Europe, that BO long as France refrains from the disturbance of existing treaties, the question of an Empire or a Republic must continue to be a matter of i n diff erence to Christendom. There is much significance in this acknowledgment, coming, as it does, at a period when the worn-out dynasties of an age gone by are thrusting their representations again upon the attention of the world through the meddling diplomacy of M. BERRYER, or through pragmatic letters signed by the Comte DE CHAMBORD or the Duchesse D'ORLEANS. From none of these proceedings on the part of the se-called Legitimatists—meaning thereby, according to the prevalent " rule of contradictions," those who.are not notoriously the illegitimatists—can arise anything save a renewal of those evils which have at length been happily allayed, a wholesale revival of disasters, agitations, and embroilments. France is at this moment tranquil, and not only tranquil but pros perous. Society ': has there been restored to a state of equilibrium. Activity has again appeared simultaneously in her agriculture, her commerce, and her manufactures. Paris, instead of being, as for a long while past was evident, so dull and spirit less as to be gradually sinking into a condition closely approximating to that of bankruptcy--bas once more put on her gala dress, and has recalled the days of her former glory. The shopkeepers, if not driving "a roaring trade," are • at any rate in a fair way of seeing their almost forgotten hopes approaching the uttermost limits of realization. Confidence has long since been re-established at the Bourse ; and the funds, instead of perpetually dropping; after each revival, below zero, have risen to a lieight for a considerable period unprecedented according to the tabular records of 'Change, those scales of the mercantile Fahrenheit. Meanwhile the rigorous laws, which were found to be essential for the emergency immediately after the famous coup d' itat of the 2nd of December, have long been abandoned as altogether unnecessary, and in their place the Code Napoleon has been reinstituted as the palladium of the rights, the guardian of the property, and the upholder of the institutions of thirty-five millions of Frenchmen. Some time since we heard a great deal about the hatred of the people of France for the daring potentate who had so very law lessly taken the precious jewel of the national sovereignty and "put it in his pocket," according to the example of a well•knoten prototype. We were told that such was the ferocity of his policy and such the consequent thirst of vengeance among the multi tude, that Louis NAPOLEON never ventured to appear in the streets except in a closed carriage with bullet proof panelling, surrounded by a body-guard of Cui rassiors with drawn swords and pistols—probably revolvers —ready cocked. His soldiers were generally represented as in a state of intoxication—and this not with heeltaps but bumpers, not with yin ordinaire but with the choicest flasks of champagne. Their food was, moreover, reputed to consist principally of certain highly-seasoned sausages, which might possibly ac count for the unusual blood-thirstiness engendered in their already sanguinary temperaments ! One more than ordinary impassioned wight was induced, for all these reasons, to designate the Prince a sort of Mon ster Colonel BLOOD—although neither the diadem nor the sceptre were ever detected in' his possession. Another, inspired by an amount of historical and philo logical knowledge beyond the comprehension either of Baron HUMBOLDT or of Mr. LAYARD, went so far in the agonies' of vituperation as to liken the soldiers of the PRINCE PRESIDENT to the " Prwtorian Guard" of BELSHAZZAR 1 Yet, at this very period Louis NAro. Lam was sometimes cantering his horde down the Champs Elysees, with an escort not more ostenta tious than that usually accompanying Prince ALBERT when he rides down Constitution-hill, or at other times was driving in an open phaeton through the streets of the French capital as leisurely as any of the denizens of May-fair have rolled this afternoon over the mud of Rotten-row. A glance at our Parisian intelligence will have 'assured our readers of the; accuracy of these statements long ago : and this very day will be found in another column an additional fact by way of illustration. So much for the hatred of the French for their PRINCE PRESIDENT. So much for the rod of iron said to be stowed away somewhere in his apartments at the Elys6e. So much for the champagne-drinking, sa usage -devouring fire-eaters, said to be everlastingly guarding with their drawn swords and rifles a-cock this man so accessible, so fearless, and so self-pos sessed. It may be remembered that among those English newspapers, and they were sufficiently numerous , which were infected by the anti•Bonaparte phobia, there was one which rendered itself peculiarly conspicuous by the rabid intensity and rancorous vigour of its vituperation. Even upon this organ the calm and sedate course of events in the French Re public has of late proved not altogether inoperative. A curious example of the moderation of tone in dulged in by our contemporaries in reference to Louis NAPOLEON is afforded to-day by the foreign correspondence of the Morning Chronicle, among which occur the following remarkable observations : —" Trath demands the avowal that there is not a Sovereign, a Minister, or a diplomatist, on this sid e of the Rhine, who does not accord ample justice to the PRINCE PRESIDENT for the exactitude with which he has hitherto fulfilled his peaceful declarations, and for the consummate moderation he has exhibited in his diplomatic relations." Nay, as if these remarks were not sufficiently explicit, the writer continues— " Right or wrong, matters not; but all wish him strength to continue his mission, and to fructify his apparent efforts to restore order at home, and prevent disorder abroad. If he continues as he has com menced, they will hail his name as a blessing. He has their sympathies—and he alone ; for the French people, over whom he rules with such mythic facility, if sufferirg, are regarded as meriting their chastisement; if contented, as enjoying more than they deserve." That from the Morning Chronicle It reveals a development in the progress °f opinion, upon the present Ruler of France emi -I.4onts continued entitled to consideration. The truth i s —th e , tranquillity of th e country, which, before XAPOLE ON ' S r i se t o supreme authority, was continu a ll y liable m ore or l ess t o per i o di c ag i tation, command s f or the policy of the PRINCE PRESIDENT calm and res pectful examination. Reviewed by its most intemperat e assailants, that policy, by its pecu liarly pacific character, extorts, in the popul ar ph rase of the them, the verdict--6" All Serene."day, even from • the Court of Session in Scotland proceedings in the Gleittilt case for nearly The appeal against the i of ArnOLL has managed t o day decided in the House of terlocutory judgment of and, by which the Duke suspend four yester been anticip4ted, the appeal was As . and the judgment of the . Court b e l ow every particular. TLe , question, h owever, as might have sed with costg, LordruB.7 'was theeirr but the affirmed in has not b finally disposed of. T h e merits of the ‘:ass on either side did not come under the .consideration of Lordships. There was nothing argued preliminary chjections taken to the r i g h t of the pursuers to maintain their action.. These objections were founded on mere technical difficultie s , which, if r sustained, would have bad the effect of preventing n 3 persons whose right as em'cers of the communi ty had been invaded, f rom obtaining any remedy for the injury they had sustained. The substantial question in dispute was, whether the road through Glentilt was a public road, whereon any and every one of her MA JESTY ' S subject!, going on his lawful business, bad a right of way, or whether it was, as averred by the noble defendant, a mere private road, formed for the convenience 1 diately granted, may still be regarded as a boon, but which may be exercised in a very different spirit, if every point is contested to the last, and every means of procrastination resorted to. No person, however exalted his position, can hope to carry matters with a high hand. There is a public feeling in English and Scotish hearts that cannot be put down, and if the matter were really of the most trivial impor tance it would not be surrendered on compulsion. The mere fact that there was no place on the way, a distance of nearly thirty miles, where any travellers could obtain refreshment, could not by a possibility affect the question. The surrounding property un questionably belonged to the Duke, and whatever rights the public might have of using the way, they could not insist on an inn or a public-house being erected for their accommodation. His Grace, however, when satisfied ortbe existence of the privilege, may obtain for himself the thanks and gratitude of the community, and cause the old annoyances to be buried in oblivion, by giving facilities for exercising the right, and enabling travellers to obtain refreshment and every assistance on their journeys. It would be a graceful and pleasing termination to the vexatious and annoying dissensions that have heretofore pre. vailed. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) QUEEN V:THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the:Court in this case, which was an application on the part of Sir Charles Napier for a mandamus to compel the East Indian Company to pay him 2,0002, which they had deducted from his pay as Commander-in-Chief of the Indian army, under the circumstances detailed in this paper on Monday last. The point which Sir Charles had to establish, in the opinion of the Court, was a legal obligation oa the part of the Company to pay the money, and secondly, ifhe had established that in the first instance, then he had to show that his only remedy at law was by mandamus. Now a legal obligation to pay might be created by common law, by statute, and by contract, bat it was quite clear to the Court that no liability at tached to the East India Company under the first or the list of these heads, and the Court had therefore only to ascertain whether the statute law imposed any legal obligation to pay on the Company. The Court had accordingly looked into all the East India Company's Acts which were the 33 G eo . IIL,. chap. 52 ; the 33 Geo. 111., chap. 155; the 4 Geo. IV. chap. 81; the 3 and 4 William IV., c h ap. 85; the 7 William IV., and 1 Victoria, chap. 47; and 3 and 4 Victoria, chap. 37, but they could find nothing in them to lead to the conclusion that the Legislature intended to impose any legal obligation upon the Company to pay the officers of their army. Like the Queen herself, they were only mora ll y b oun d to ma k e good the pay of their army, no matter wheter officers or men, and if they failed to complete the moral obligation redress could only be obtained by petition, memorial, or remonstrance to themselves. There being, then, no legal obligation on the part of the Company to pay, it was useless to go into the other matters of the remedy, and the Court having given the fullest consideration to the case, they had arrived at the conclusion that they bad no alterna tive but to refuse the rule calling upon the Company to show cause why the mandamus should not issue. • Rule refused accordingly. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) HITCHESON v. NICHOL. This was an action on acharter-party, tried before Mr. Baron Martin, at Guildhall, at the sittings after last Michaelmas Term, in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff. The circumstances of the case were these. The defendant chartered a ship of the plaintiff to bring home a cargo of merchandize from Bombay at the rate of 31. 10s. per ton. The cargo was put on board by the defendant's agents at hombay, and at the suggestion of the captain an arrangement was made for filling the cabin with a further portion of goods. The ship arrived in England on the 30th October, 1847, and the plaintiff demanded, 7/. 105. per ton, which was then the current freight between Bombay and this country, for the_addi tional cargo which had b een p l ace d i n t h e cabin : The defendant contended that the plaintiff was not entitled to charge a higher sum for the cabin than for any other part of the vessel, and an action was instituted by the plaintiff to recover the amount in dispute, and, as stated before, he obtained a verdict in his favour. Subsequently a rule was granted for a new t r i a l on t h e groun d efmis direction, and it came on for argument some time since. The COURT now delivered judgment, intimating they were clearly of opinion that the Learned Judge WAS per fectly right in his direction to the jury. They considered that the defendant was not entitled under the charter party to fill the cabin, and that he must p a y for the fall benefit ho had obtained , in placing an extra quan tity cf goods there, viz., the current rate of freight which the jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found the plaintiff was entitled to. Their judg ment would therefore be for the plaintiff. Rule discearged. ZENTA.T.I3. THE strN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 5 s 185 Railways. 1 Nominr I Prices. Cent.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. After the recent large seldttion to the amount of bullion in the Bank of England, it might have been ex pected that a falling off would take place, consequent upon the shipment of sovereigns to Australia, but we be lieve this will appear in the next return, though the amount received from New York will be a partial set off. The weekly statement to the 29th ult. gives a trifling addition to the bullion, an augmentation of the public and a diminution of the private banking accounts, and a slight increase in the loans and discounts. The three last-named items necessarily brought out the cir culation of notes.

Although the tido of emigration from London now strongly towards Australia, there is still f rom Ireland strong preponderance of departures for the United States; and it is satisfactory to learn that proper efforts are thpreeo being made made to afford protection to the inexperienc e d who laud upon its shores. An Act passed h York Legislature provides that— " The proprietors and agents of all steam-boats,al canal boats, and railroad companies, engaged in the conveying of emigrants and their baggage, shall file a list of pri ces in the o ffi ce of the Commissioners of-E m i gration the Ist of May each year, which sball not be a e to higher rate, except upon ten days' notice— . violation of this provision subjecting the guilty parties to a fine of 100 dollars; and any person asking or receiving fro m emigrant passenger or his baggage a an larger amount, shall be subject to imprisonment from One to tyro months, and pay a fine of 100 della& The baggage to be w ' shallndeesirghpeed. by scales and weights, made conformable to the standard of the st a te, and a certificate for the same, under a k or natty of 100 dollars,- and any person who receive money for the transportation of such shall be imprisoned from two to three menthe a ggaget ance of an emigrantwflg" An excellent provision in the Bill is the folio " Every ticket for the convey passenger shall have printed or written on its p l ace to which such passenger is entitled to be oaneveeythede by virtue thereof, the price paid by him or her for each ticket, the number of pounds of luggage allowed to be carried free of charge, the amount paid for such passen ger'si luggage, the names of the party or companv issuing the ticket, and his or their place of busi ness, and whethe r the ticket entitles such passenger to be conveyed by g s t ea m-boat, railroad, or:can a l-b oat , specifying the same. Any person selling a ticket cont rar y to the provisions of this section, shall be subject to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars. " The testimony of any witness to prove a violation of this Act may bo taken in w riting. —if such witn ess is about to depart f rom the sta te—and may b e used before a grand jury or on the trial of the accused. This provision is very necessary , as of the o ff ender s against the emigr ant laws gave many e hith ertoany escaped because the poor defrauded emigrants could not wait to prosecute them. It will be the duty of the Commissioners to sue the violators of the law, and to see that it is enforced." The amount of silo exported from London direct daring the week to T r hursday last was 99,730 ounc es and 3,0001., an d of go ld 1,284 ounces and 16,293/, nearly all the silver going to the Continent , and Australia and the Cape of Good Hope.

Boill mea sures were referred to specill committees.

After part of the articles bad been adopted, the discussion was adjourned to the fol lowing day, w h en i t was resumed. The only polo that gave occasion for any debate of interest was that relating to publishing an account of the pro ceedings. Several members spoke in favour of such publicity, declaring that, for the dignity of the Se" nate, the country ought to be enabled to see wha t services that body cound render in times of difficelti* Many member s i ns i ste d on the fact that the publics' tion spoken of was not in any way contrary to the constitution, and eventually the regulations were adopted in their ensenble, with the understanding that, at a later period, a senatus-consultum shoul.d, If thought ad v i sa bl e, b e issued to regulate the publicity demanded.

ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. SO UTHAMTON, SATURDAY MORNING. The United States snail steam-ship Washington, Captain E. M. Fitch, arrived off Cowes, at two, A.M., and after landing the English mails and pas sengers proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Washington left New York on the 22d ult., and has accomplished the voyage in about 134 days, She brought eighteen passengers for South ampton (amongst whom is the Princess Murat), and has 159 for Bremen. From longitude 52.35 to 45.46 W., between the latitudes 46.40 and 48.40 N., the Washington passed a great number of large icebergs. Oa the 23d ult. spoke the packet-ship Roscius, from Liverpool, going into New York. The news is three days Liter than brought by the last Liverpool steamer. Since the departure of the Europa but little of in terest bad transpired. The royal mail steamer Africa arrived out early on the morning of the 20th of May, after a passage of 11/ days. The United States Senate in Committee of the whole House have conditionally agreed to the amend ment in the Deficiency Bill, giving 33,000 dollars a trip to the Collins line of steamers. The under standing is that further amendments will be offered when the Bill is finally reported to the Senate. A movement of the friends of the tariff in favour of protection to coal and iron was anticipated at Washington on the 24th. The Presidential contest daily gets more interest ing in view of the near approach of the time for hold ing the conventions for the nomination candidates. Both parties make their choice next month. The British Consul at New York keeps open house for his fellow -countrymen and other friends on the 24th, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The British ship Urgent, from Liverpool, via New York, for Charleston, with 3,600 sacks of salt, went ashore on the 18th, at Bull's Breakers, near Charles ton. It was thought with fair weather she would be got off only slightly damaged. Kossuth had gone to Niagara falls for a few days, to recruit his health. From Canada we have no news of interest. Chief Justice Jarvis, of Prince Edward's Island, died sud denly on the 9th inst., aged 63 years. Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, on their tour through the States, arrived at Washington on the 21st ult. Conflicting accounts have been received from the city of Mexico, via Vera Cruz, as to the Tehuan tepec treaty. The ship American, which left Vera Cruz on the sth o f May, reports that news had reached that place of the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican Congress. On the other hand, from other channels it is reported to be still under discus sion in the Mexican Congress, and further that Go vernment were dispatching troops to the Isthmus to repel an anticipated invasion by Americans. The answer of the Mexican Government to the merchants of Vera Cruz as to their claims produced some dissatisfaction, and disturbances were appre hended. Business was very dull at Vera Cruz and Mexico. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. are destitute of political news. The Espana states that an English compadY has undertaken the works of the railroad from Grenada to Malaga, on condition that the line shall pass by Antequera, and have a branch to Cordova to join the' projected line from Seville to Madrid. The Ministers have not yet returned from Aral" juez. Lord HOWDEN had an audience of the Q 10 .2, 31t on Wednesday to take leave, when he presented• OTWAY to ber MAJESTY.

We read in the B res l au Gazette that it is the le tention of the E m p eror o f AUSTRIA and the King par' puse to meet th e C ZAR at Warsaw, for the Pu`. puse of conferring on very important matters. The Prince C HARLES FREDERICK DE LEN" STEIN WERTHEIM died at his chateau of Trieferste 0 on the 27th u l t. By his decease one of the tiv branches of the family becomes extinct. The news of the protocol on the Neufchatel ques tion signed in London has created much excitement in Switzerland. The inhabitants ofNeufchatel espe cially are much disconcerted. Tne new Mexican Minister was to be presented to the President on the 22d. It is said President Arista declares, in his communication, that Mexico will never consent to the opening of the Tehuantepec route by a foreign company; in taking this position Mexico looks at the contingency of a war with the United States, and relies on the aid of the English Govern ment to maintain her declarations. Jamaica (Kingston) dates are to the 11h May. The Kingston Journal contains further details of the ravages of the small-pcx. A seaman belonging to the American brig Lucy Watts, while at the port of Segue la Gr an d e, was taken out of the vess e l and im prisoned by the Spanish Government, under the plea that he w as a S panish deserter. Two more of the crew were also subsequenly imprisoned. The matter is attracting great attention, and it is feared trouble may arise from it.—Times. 11ER MAJEST i'S TILBATRE. We have much pleasure in learning that the result of the recent meeting of supporters of her Majesty's • Theatre has been such as to encourage further efforts for the promotion of the interests of art as represented by that establishment. Tree management has been enabled to continue its representations on the fullest • and most efficient scale, and to make renewed exer tions to maintain and extend a reputation which, for many successive years, has been identified with the names of the grentest European composers, and of the most distinguished artists in the several departments of the lyric drama and the ballet. We trust, however, that the importance of supporting our oldest Operatic Es tablishment will be still more widely appreciated, and that the endeavours of those who have so effectively assisted the liberal and enterprising Director will receive more extended co-operation. We understand that the following were among the earliest subscribers to the object of the late meeting : The Duke of Leiuster, the Duke of Cleveland, the Lord Ward, Sir John Bas ley, Bart., Lady Bayley: Lee Jortin, Efq., J.

JAIVIL'S THEATRE. Notwithstanding the introduction of the German troupe, the French plays are still continued on certain evenings. Last night was the first appearance this season of M. Levessor, an accomplished artist of well' known versatility and comic power. His extraor dinary capabilities were displayed on the occasion 1 0 the highest perfection in the comedy of La Nuit aza &fillets, that most laughable and singular scene Robert le Diable, and a farce of great breadth of fun , new to these boards, entitled lin Frere Terribk. It turns on the miseries which an elegant young gen" tleman has to endure from a " loose" brother, the disgrace of th e f am il y ; on the loves of this raffish scapegrace, who commits sad scampishness in the salons of his brother, and on the clever way in which he finally sets everything to rights for himself and others. Th e d ro ll ery and loquacious effrontery Levassor were inimitable, and kept the house in roars of laughter.
