The immediate consequence of this order was the with drawal of a large amount of specie from circulation, which the banks sought to remody by expanding their issues. Next followed the account of a large surplus in the public revenue, and this gave a new impulse to the ruinous spirit of speculation and competition:which prevailed among Improvement Companies of all deno minations. In the mean time it was not perceived that the Treasury was gradualtly absorbing the gold and the silver, and that most of the large commercial houses, when straitened for money, had recourse to extra issues of paper, or to the employment of a credit forced upon them by their correspondents in Europe. Fortunately the evil was discovered before it had in volved in a common ruin the commercial interests or, the Republic. The timely interference of the IL) n i te d States' Bank, whose credit is undiminished., will go a great way towards setting all right agai', ) , There will be, of course, many failures, and ',wavy losses must be sustained by numbers of enter - prising and in dustrious individuals, in consequene: e of the rapid fall in the price of all joint-stock ; but the check thus given to extravagant speculation will produce a good effect on the habits of American commercialists. Once rid of his present diffic'ilties, Brother Jonathan will be more careful in prov;iding for the payment of his creditors at a moment's notice. Taking pattern by the wary old EX-PRESIDENT, he will in future balance his ledger with a more universally-recognised represen tative of wealth than railroad, canal, and waste-land share tickets. The intelligence which has: arrived from America since our 1 ast publication is calculated to expel much of the gloom which overhangs our commercial prospects. There never was, we bel: leve , a period of greater pressure among the mercal ,tile and trading classes, nor of greater anx icty as tr -1 the future, than the last three months has been. " - A.'he cause of this distress is to be found in the gen...l - al want of confidence on the part of those who possess capital.

But a panic has neither eyes nor ears—it sees not, hears not, reasons not—and possesses, besides, a power of self-propaj,a tion that sets all calculation at defiance. This being the case, we must not wonder if, in the fluctuations of the Moncy-market, we do not always find the effect duly proportioned to the cause. The first symptoms of distress appeared among the merchants connected with America, and we are dis posed to attribute this not so much to over-trading, although that is the natural consequence of an abun dance of money, as to the financial and banking ope rations which were resorted to in America. The na tural consequence of these operations was to draw gold from country ; and the 13a.nk of England, in order to counteract this effect, whic% bore 'mid upon its cot fers, had recourse to the dangerous expedient of re fusing to discoing American bills, thus stamping -dis credit on the transactions of an extensive class of merchants, and deranging the affairs of the manufac he publication of THE SUN livwsrArß.,t commenced this day at 30 minutes past Thre , ; o ' Clock. . 4 .....,, ~,,,,,,,,,.... ~...........„... f,„.4, 1 ,,' - ' . `........,..j• If' - z.... ei i ...,.,.., 1 ,- ~..,...1av,,,,,% , i3O::; ----4,, , ,,, 7,,,,,_-::.,---; f •., ~ r, ~.._., r "" '.. ? ii•7",-...-,Z,..; , C4Pi.,..

On Frciday LorjMELBOURNE, in a few word , ' cut an cud to the boastings of Sir lton Eng' PEF.r.-„ I can only say, in conclusion," said his " that I see nothing in the state of affairs of ii ecuury either at home or abroad to induce any Mi x Aster to retire from office." None but men panting for dace could see anything to cause his resignation ; but 'ev e ry friend of liberty abroad, end peace at home, can e , r mueh that ought to induce Lord MELnourtxr. of to resign. Ever since the detection of Lours f_ l l-1r the return of the Tories to power was alone - - . - an.ing to destroy the germs of fret institutions in • Pcni:istila, and bring the whole of Western Europe • within the pale of the Holy Alliance. Great .;ritain under a Liberal Government is now the only - power to whom the oppressed of every country can !had,: for sympathy and aid, and on that account the MuLnoun NE .'idininistration would by deserting their mist incur fearful resnen , ibility. But tint . is little. compared with our domestic peace, an..l the security of our own imti!ntions. The people • Ireland a re in a state of alarm at the very idea o' .orange misrule. Their inajorit , ..' of their liTresenta livcs have repeatedly declared, that their only hope of' ...safety is in Lord MuLGRAvE's Government, and the continuance of the present Ministers in power. The kie!r:rdl Association (hot the other day) unanimously , ‘amc to a similar resolution ; and 2.fter the effective at1;l determined suppoit which Lord NTEunoun . sc. has re ceived from both the Representatives and the people of Ireland, it would be something worse even than I ase ingratitude, because of some temporary difficulties, to hand them o cc, evEm for a time, to the tender mer cies an 0 an4e faction. Three months' misrule would do inca'culable mischief in that cou:itry. A li beral Government obtains additional strength every day £hat it remains in office. It gets ranged on its side more men of influence and power, more liberal judges, more liberal bishoos, more liberal Lords Lieufenant and Magistrate.; ; and, by showing a determination of purpose and a resolution not to yield, it will in a very short periol draw over all those, and the number is not • who do not support a Government fot nothing. To resign because every good measure cannot be car ried at once would be an act of political suicide, and a tacit admission that the Lords, and not the representa tives of the people, can alone govern the country. The people of the United Kingdom are not inattentive to the contest that is going on between the two Houses, and the support which they will give to the Govern ment in the day of need will depend much on the spi rit with which Lord MELBOURNE stands forward in their behalf. We have no reason to doubt the course he will pursue—he has never yet flinched or truckled to the House of Lords—he declared last Session that while the representatives of the people stood by him, he would stand by them—and he declared on Friday night that, notwithstanding the clamour of the party, he would not incur the responsibility in a moment of temporary defeat or disaster, to withdraw that assistance from Spain, to which, by every dictate of good faith and every principle of honour he was pledged. These energetic declarations have damped the spirits of his opponents, and the unanimous ap probation which they have received from the great body of the public, is only an earnest of .the support which an upright, determined, and patriotic Minister may expect for the people. tuners connected with them, as well as sowing the seeds of distrust among the mercantile community generally. The last advices from America, which come down to the 3d instant, state the measures adopted there to arrest the mischievous results of former imprudence. There had been commerc:al crisis, and several large flilnres had taken place, principally among parties deeply implicated in land speculations in the Western States, which have been for soul time chaining the eastern and commercial districts of specie. The Bank of t'ic U States had however come forward at the solicitation of the principal merchants of New York, and interposed its powerful arm to ward off the blow which threatened the commercial interests of the Union. The Bank proposes to " substitute for the private credit of individuals, the more known and established credit of the Bank, until public confidence in private stability has time to revive." In accord ance with this enlightened .:den, of the question, the Bank is to issue its engagemcits, payable in London, Paris, and Amsterdam, which engagements will be remitted to Europe instead of private bills. The re sult of this important operation cannot fail to be most beneficial. T!!c Bank of England cannot refuse to dis count the paper of the National Bank of America—in deed the proposal may be %;aid to have originated With the Bank of England—immediate relief will be afforded to the merchants trading with America, and general confidence may be anticipated. We may add, that the resoluti.'n of the Bank had given the greatest satisfaction at New York. Time deep gloom which had prevailed had, on the fact being made public, been succeeded by sudden cheerfulness and universal joy. The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday have 'Leen received. Th 2 Moniteur contains copies of the con gratulatory addresses of the two Chambers to the KING and the Duke of ORLEANS, on the approach ing marriage of the heir apparent to the French ' throne, with the answers of his MAJESTY and Royal Highness. There is nothing in these documents worth extracting. They are a string of complimentary com mon places—nothing more. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, M. Du- PIN, the President, presented the Report of the Com mittee on the Bill for granting an additional allowance to the Duke of ORLEANS. The Committee agreed to grant the Royal Duke 80,0001. a year, the Prin cess Royal 12,0001. a year—both to be paid monthly, and in advance with 40,0001. for their outfit. Many Members of the Committee were for nearly doubling these sums, but the more economical prevailed when the question was put to the vote. In the same sitting M. THIERS delivered a very able speech on the African expedition. He told the Chamber that he was not favourable to an extensive system of colonization in Africa ; neither did he concur with those adventurous individuals who sought to ex tend French conquests to the Atlas ; but the war being commenced, the operations already undertaken ought to be prosecuted with vigour. France ought to con fine herself to the peopling of Algiers, Oran, and Bona—an undertaking sufficiently extensive for the next twenty years ; but which, when completed, would make her mistress of the Mediterranean. This last observation was received by the Deputies with loud cheers. The New York papers to the 4th inst. inclusive, which have reached us this morning from Liverpool, are calculated to remove all apprehension of a long continuance of the monetary difficulties which prevail in the United States. It will be seen by our extracts from them, that although several extensive houses have failed in New Orleans, Philadelphia, and other large commercial towns in the Western and Southern States, yet the best-informed merchants are of opinion that these houses are solvent, and only require time to collect the capital which they imprudently vested in the purchase of waste lands, and canal and railroad speculations. The causes of the scarcity of money in the United Statcs are—first, the late attempts of President JACK SON to destroy bank credit; which he regarded in the light of a political engine in the hands of the rich ; and again the flourishing state of the public revenue. It will be remembered that by a Treasury minute, issued by President JACKSON in July, 1:;',16, the col lectors of taxes were forbidden to receive rr ,er in pay- The trial of the assassin, IVIEuNIER, commenced on Friday. A condensed report of the proceedings w ill be found. in another column. The French Papers contain no important news from Spain. Prirate letters received on Saturday from the frontier stated that the rebels had moved from Valen cia to Arragon. On the Bth, CAB RERA with his bands quitted Villa, being closely pursued by General NOGUERAS. At Barcelona and Valencia all was tranquil on the 15th, though the authorities were ap prehensive of danger in consequence of the distribution of incendiary placards during the previous night. During the late storm three trading ressels laden with provisions were wrecked on the Cantabrian coast.: The lives of the crews were saved. Letters from Bayonne of the 19th inst. state that ( VIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1837 ESPARTERO is erecting defences in Bilboa; and that when they are finished he proposes to take the field. The Gallant General is in no hurry to put an end to the war. Of this we are convinced. If he continue in the command his batteries must prove serviceable, inasmuch as he will not rashly trust himself in front of them. FTIENCH FUNl)B.—Paats, APRIL 21. Five per Cents., lOU 90c. 25c. 90c.

THE MARKETS---('TIE DAY ) CORN EXCHANGE. In the past week the arrivals cf Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease were moderate ; of Oats, chiefly from Ireland, consi derable, and of Flour good. The weather continued cold, and prices of every article were firmly maintained. Tbis morning the fresh supplies of Grain in general were moderate, but the weather having undergone a very favourable change, the market has become extremely dull. Wheat of the best quality has declined Is., and other sorts 2s. per quarter, from the prices of this day sennight. Barley of all descriptions is Is. per quarter lower. Beans and Pease are difficult to sell, and are each reduced Is. per quarter. The trade for Oats has been slack to-day, and to effect sales a decline of is. per quarter has been submitted to. The Flour trade remains very dull, and with great difficulty maintains its late currency. The farmers report that since the late rains the crops have shown an evident improvement. !IMES ON B( Wheat, Ned (old) 504. fO3. ----White , 5Ss. 655. —Red l 836) 42a. 48s. -- Fine 50s. 545. -- Superfine sfis. 565. to (1836) 445. 50s. ---- Fine s2s 56s ----- Superfine , Bs. 603. ----Foreign free —s.

Madrid Journals of the 13th inst. have reached us. They are meagre of all important intelligence. In the Cortes, fifteen articles of the Constitution have been adopted by large majorities ; but we hear of no grand and decisive effort on the part of the Deputies to put an end to the civil war. They are fine theorists; but they shrink from grappling with a tangible cala mity, that with giant strides desolates their country. Brussels and German Papers have been received. The latter bring advices from Constantinople to the 29th of March inclusive. They state that the Eng lish residents in that capital earnestly desire the recall of Lord PONSONBY, who is no longer popular with the Turks, the Russians, or his own countrymen. They likewise complain of the great decline which continues to be felt in the current value of Turkish coin. The Archduke Palatine of HUNGARY was consider ably better or: the 12th inst., but the hopes entertained of his recovery are faint indeed. The Brussels papers bring no news of any interest. In the Chamber of Representatives nothing has been discussed for many days but a project of law for the regulation of the Customs' tariff.

On Saturday we visited this establishment, and ha.l the gra tification of seeing two new pictures by Le Chevalier Bottum, " The Basilica of St. Paul, near Rome," and " The Village of Alagna." The Basilica of St. Paul, called "S. Pardo fuori della Mura," receives Its name, in common with other churches in Italy, from being formed out of Roman Basilirte or flails of Justice ; the Tribune at the upper part of the build ing, formerly the-seat of the Judge, stilt retains its form, and contains the altar. la 1:323 this structure was nearly destroyed by fire, which raged with such fierceness and intensity that it calcined the columns of Pavonazza and Parian marble, split from top to bottom immense columns, the support of the tri bune, and shivered to pieces the columns of porphyry, the hardest of all marbles. This interesting edifice is in the pic ture of Le Chevalier Boaton represented first at midnight, in all its beauty, decorated with paintings and a profusion of or naments; and afterwards, ia the day time, unroofed, desolate, and wretched. The same canvass, by the management and colour, is made to produce this. The transition, however, is unnatural, and the general arrangement unpicturesque. The other picture, " The Villiage of Alagna," is by far the more interesting of the two. The effect of the moonlight upon the 'snow contrasting with the glare of candle-light proceeding from the window of a cottage in the foreground, and from those in the distance, is very cleverly managed. The evening is succeeded by night ; and a fearful storm rages—the sounds of thunder and wind are introduced—the scene becomes dark ened by the violence of the tempest ; the morning breaks, and gradually discloses the full beauty of the landscape, but the co_ Cages in the distance are no longer visible—an avalanche has fallen from the neighbouring mountain durng the storm, and buried the peaceful villages; the steeple only of the rustic church remains in view, as a monument over the grave of the ill-fated inhabitants. 'rho changes throughout are very skilfully ma naged, and the illusion perfect. LLOYD'S SFIIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

The Hudson river is open for navigation, as far up as West Point, and the ice is broken up above the Highlands to Cats kill. (From the New YorA Price Current of the Ist of April.) " COTTON. --A continued disposition on the part of holders to concede, in connection with the difficulty experienced in procuring satisfactory bills of exchange on Europe. has in duced shippers to renew operations on a more extended scale, and the transactions during the three past days have been un usually large, and chiefly at a further reduction in rates. The market is now assuming a more steady appearance." Three New York packets have arrived--two at Liverpool, and one in London. By these conveyances more favourable accounts have been received relative to commercial affairs than was generally anticipated, and according to which it ap pears that the following arrangements had been made by the 1343 k of the United States and other banks for the relief of the merchants:— " The Bank of the United States to remit one million of dollars in speci4 to England, provided the banks at New York will do the same; and to issue five million of dollars in bond, payable twelve months hence in London, Paris, and 'Amster dam, to serve for remittances;—the Manhattan bank to issue a milli m of similar bonds payable in London, and another mil lion payable at New York ;—the bank at Philadelphia to issue 500,0001. sterling, in bonds payable in London tho Morris Canal and B an ki ng C ompany, to i ssue a m illi on .5 . f . similar Bonds, payable at London in 10, 12, and 14 months, endorsed and guaranteed by the Bank of America : the Bank of America t:) draw on Paris for a million of francs, and the Banks of the City to increase their discounts to the extent of a million and a half of dollars. Another heavy failure has taken place at New Orleans—it is said to the amount of five millions of dollars. Gibraltar Chronicles hpve been received to the 13th April. They do not contain so late accounts as received this morning by the express from Paris. Singapore papers have been received to the 10th December. British woollens were in demand; but in other articles of commerce not much business was done. They mention late arrivals from China ; the Government was enforcing the Edict against the dealers in opium. The total value of exports at the port of Canton to Great Britain in the year ending March last, was valued at 32,426,623 Spanish dollars. The following is a copy of the Imperial Edict against the opium trade : " RECORD OF THE IMPERIAL WILL.

The following appears in the French Papers relative to the loan to the Spanish Government now in course of negotiation i-- " The amount of the loan is about eight millions ster ling, which, at the price of 55 per cent., with deduction of commission, &c., will leave a nett produce of above four millions sterling. M. Aguado is the contractor. His first condition appears to be a complete surrender on the part of Spain of all claims upon him, some of which, whether well or ill founded, that country has often pressed him for. The loan is to be guaranteed upon the revenues of the Philippian Isles, Cuba and Porto Rico. There is also some reason to believe that the Governments of England and France have engaged, at all events, to secure to the Queen the possession of the Island of Cuba. " A condition of the contract is the due payment of the divi dends, and the arrears of last November, and the Spanish Go vernment will be pledged to relieve the market of the deferred and passive debts by a series of operations." The favourable accounts received from America this morn ing have enlivened the spirits of our American merchants, who are new in great hopes that the disasters in the com mercial community will take a turn, by the relief given them by the various banks, and their losses will not be to the extent at first anticipated.

This morning, pursuant to a call from the High Bailiff, a numerous meeting of the Electors of Westminster assembled in Covent Garden, for the purpose of considering the present state of their representation►. At one o'clock the High Bailiff opened the proceedings. He said he had• called the meeting in consequence of a nu merous and respectably signed requisition having been pre sented to him. He trusted they would afford an impartial hearing to any elector iiho might offer himself to their consi deration. Colonel JONES then came foward. He said he appeared before them in consequence of the illness of the gentleman who had been appointed to move the resolutions. He had been called upon to perform a most painful duty, but it was a most important one; and as it was for the benefit of his fellow elec tors, he would not shrink from it, but would speak plainly, proudly, and fearlessly.—( Cheers.) He would never be influenced by any one, or by any interest, neither would he be intimidated by them.—(Cheers.) He was an English man, and knew the full value of his rights, and he would exercise them as bname a freeman, knowing what freedom was, and loving it.—( Cheers.) They were called upon to perform a peat and important duty. They were never with out representatives.—( Hear, and shame.) Now if ever there was a time when the active services of representatives were required it was at that moment, when a foul conspiracy existed on the part of the House of Lords against the interests of the empire generally, but more particularly against unfortunate and misgoverned Ireland. There was now a baneful party in the country, who had expressed their readiness to take office, and therefore it became necessary for the people to take active measures in order to counteract the measures of their enemies. There could be no doubt in the minds of any of those then present, that Sir F. Burdett had much neglec ted his duty. It was most painful for him (Col. Jones), who had been a warm supporter of the Hon. Baronet for 30 years, now to come forward with such resolutions as he then held in his hand. He did not mean to abuse any one. He censured the Honourable Baronet for his neglect of duty, but he, at the same time, lamented his falling off. He felt a warm sense of gratitude to him for his past :iservices—( Partial cheering)— and he would have been proud that the Hon. Baronet had gone down to the grave will all the popular honours which were formerly so justly paid him.—( Cheering.) Though he found fault with the representative, yet he still loved the man.—( Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet was now sixty-seven ears of age, and had out lived his better feelings ; but taking all things into consideration, he thought they ought to forgive him, and he hoped they would part on friendly terms.— ( Cheers.) Then with regard to General Evans : he had been absent from his post now for a long time. Had he wished to go a soldiering, he on principle ought to have given up the representation of Westminster.—( Cheers.) Their enemies were busy, and it must be the care of the electors to give them no advantage, but to take care that they selected such men as candidates as would be enabled to carry their election securely. They were there to give a great moral lesson, and having done so, if Arthui Duke of Wellington did not take, but should he and his party grasp again at power, then might the time come when the people must give a physical lesson that time might come sooner than many expected; and, there fore, every one ought to make up his mind. He would not trespass further, but would read the resolutions he held in his hand, and propose them for the approval of the Meeting. They were to the effect—that Westminster had, for a long time, been devoid of any representation—that, on account of the change in the political opinions of Sir F. Burdett, and his hostility to all the measures of the present enlightened Go vernment—he had lost the confidence of the electors—and that he, therefore, should be called upon to resign.—( Cheers ) That unless General Evans was returned to his duty by the day named in his letter of the 24th .March, he also be called on to resign. The Gallant Colonel said of course they did not mean to be so mad as to confine the General to a day cr two, but merely to mark their sense of the state of the repre sentation. Mr. Ds VEA R seconded the resolutions, as we understood; but from the position in which we were placed it was impossible to hear a word which fell from him. Mr. WARLE r then presented himself. He said the meet ing had assembled to discharge a very important duty, :be cause, in after times, the events of that day would be referred to, in order to see whether the Electors of Westminster had had a distinct view of their duty.—( Hear.) A motion had been made that they should delegate their powers to a Committee. Now he did not like Committees.—( A laugh.) They had assembled first to declare that they were not repre sented in Parliament, and secondly, to come forward in sup post of some men who will do their duty properly. They all knew how Westminster had been represented for some time past. He would not for a moment make any attack upon an old Reformer who had served them. He hoped they would part good friends, and that the electors would thank the Honourable Baronet for the labour he had formerly be stowed on their cause, for he had been a Reformer when it put his life in danger.—( Loud cheers.) He (Mr. W) had now been in a certain House for three Sessions, and ho de clared he had only seen Sir F. Burdett there once.—( Shame.) They appealed to the Hon. Baronet's feelings on the present occasion, and they asked whether he would throw any obstacle in the way of the gratification of their wishes, with reference to their election of such an individual as would fairly represent them ?—( Hear.) He (Mr. Wakley) believed he would op pose no obstacle, and that he would at once and without hesi tation resign, if the proposition was carried. Having done that, what was the next course for them to pursue? Because that, he took it, was the great, the important portion of the business of the day. He did not want to beat about the bush, but would say at once that their object was to get rid of a representative that was inefficient, and get one who would work for them. There were in Westminster, as in every other place, a variety of parties entertaining various shades of political opinions; but the two great parties were Conservatives and Reformers. The Conservatives had ac quired great power by casting aside minor differences, and they had an immense number of limbs and trunks that had thus at tached themselves to one head —( A laugh.) Sir Robert Peel was the leader of that party in England, and be ( Mr. Wakley) wanted a " Leader" also for Westminster.— (Cheers.) Ile was a little man, but in every respect a trump.—( Cheers.) He had always exhibited benevolence for good actions; he bad a head stuffed full of knowledge for the philosophical ; he had for the wealthy a long purse well crammed with gold, and lie was above all a sincere Radi cal Reformer.—( Renewed cheers.) That was the leader they wanted, and he was one who would never lead them blindfold through the swamps and quagmire of political in; s tele'. He (Mr. W.) had watched Mr. Leader, and he could safely say that since he had been in the House of Commons he had never given a vote that was hostile to the liberties of the people in the broadest sense of the term. They were again threatened with disunion in Westminster. That was the way they had always been conquered. The apple of discord was thrown among them, and they were fools enough to pick it up and eat it.—( Hear, hear.) With respect to the Whigs there were, he admitted, some men among them who had dis charged their duty faithfully, but they were used by the Radi cals, and supported by them merely because they wanted their assistance on the road. The moment the Whigs stopped, the Radicals would bid them good bye, and proceed on their own account ; and he was satisfied they would never stop until they had obtained justice to England and Ireland.— The Whigs could not proceed without them ; they were bound hand and foot, if the Radicals directed them, and they had the huge body of Conservatives opposed to them, and staring them in the face, ready to demolish them the moment such a crisis occurred. But there were also among the Whigs men whom they could not possib'y trust—men who were ready at any moment to shrink away into the ranks of the tyrannical, boroughmongering, and bloodthirsty Tories. In Westminster there were many men anxious to get rid of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill, or to have it altered, but that could never be effected if they did not stand forward and return Repre sentatives who would represent their views and wishes in Par liament. It was impossible they could succeed by any other means, and when they found a man anxious to extend the franchise to all householders that was the man for him.— ( Hear, hear, hear, and cheers.) If every man had not a voice in the election of the representatives of the people, They were as much slaves as those of the West Indies. Mr. Leader was one who would advocate the extension of the suf frage to the fullest extent. He must say that few of the Mem bers of the House of Commons were fighting the battles of the people as they ought ; but then the great majority of these Members did not represent the people of England. The majority was actually returned by 151,000 electors. Seventy of the places returning Members to Parliament had constitu encies of less than 400, and twenty-four places had less than 200. Why, it was plain that bribery and corruption must still be going on in these places, and it was equally plain that it was impossible the Radicals could consistently support any Ministry that would systematically oppose the extension of the franchise.—(Hear, hear.) Ministers, undoubtedly, had laid some good measures upon the table of the House of Commons, but he (Mr. Wakley) wanted to see them carried. When they were carried the Whigs' stock in trade was out, and after that the Radicals would have nothing to do with them. They could exhibit nothing in the concern but dummies—(a laugh)—and the firm of Whig, Radical, and Co. must be dissolved by rubbing out the name of Whig. (Cries of Hear, hear, and cheers.) That could not be effected by individual elections, but it was important that Westminster, under the very nose of the Court, should set an example that in the event of a general election would be followed by other parts of the empire. With respect to the appointment of a Committee, he must say he did not like that. They were to be sure respectable and very nice men, but they were, after all, but a small number of the electors, sad as soon as they had met, some influential man among them would name his friend, and would be able to induce the majority to go with him. They had now got the matter before them, and he thought they were just as well able to form a correct opi ninion upon the matter as any Committee. If a better man than Mr. Leader could be produced he (Mr. W.) would at once give him up.—(Cheers.) Let them have any man they liked, but let them not appoint aCommittee —(Cheers.) They knew Mr. Leader well—there was five and thirty years good work in him yet, and his political character was one that would bear the most scrutinizing investigation. He would suggest, in conclusion, that the Gallant Colonel would divide his proposition into two parts, and one thing he would impress upon them, and that was the importance of naming a candidate from these hustings at once.—( Cheers. ) The limn BAILIFF then put the first part of the resolution, as to the propriety of calling upon Sir F. Burdett to resign. The resolution was carried unanimously. A second ,portion, calling upon Colonel Evans to resign in the event of his not returning at the time specified in his letter, namely, the 10th June, was also agreed to. On the resolution for the appointment of a Committee being put, • Colonel JONES again addressed the meeting, and assured the meeting that the Committee would not have had the pre- .. ~ • sumption to name any individual without consulting the s o ,s7, of the electors on the subject. The electors s hould looif to'u!ij good wheelers instead of leaders, who he prophesied to never lead them victory. Mr. WA KLET replied. He deprecated the cond uct of t: Gallant Colonel in refusing to name any candidate, in ° I , A I that the electors might decide talon his eligibility.e , the Gallant Colonel name his man at once.--(Great l'S, ot her; log.)
