HALIFAX, MAY 31.—A large number of respectable mer chants of the town, fearful that difficulties and embarrassments .5 would be thrown upon the community by the stoppage of dis , counts, addressed a letter on Monday to the Presidents and Directors of the Banks, suggesting the propriety of their sus pending specie payments at the present time. Yesterday the ~ Presidents and Directors resolved to adopt the views of the merchants who had addressed them. After the discussion ._ took place the merchants made a communication to his Ex : cellency, to direct the principal officers of the Customs to re ceive the duties payable to that department in Treasury or . , Bank notes. ST. JOHN, New BkUNSWICK.—The Banks of this city, in accordance with the wishes expressed at the meeting, have suspended specie payments for the present. The proceeding ~., meets with th e unan i mous approva l o f the public.

A meetis:ii took place this day at the London Tsveit ; Bls'sepagate-street, for the. prop ose of sitS•iliii;t• t l ,ie tiesi ineans of securing the re-tls!Ctiell of the present Liberal Members for the City tst . London —Messrs. Wood, Pattison, Grote, and Cfawford. At half past one the Committee entered the room, and were received with loud cheers. On the motion of Mr. HEPPrib, Jolts TRAVEn4 I Tilt CtiANNlA N— G entlemen, N., was called t o th e Ch a i r . you have been good enough to place me in a situation of some difficulty, but I do that upon this eeeas!ctl, not shrink from the responsibility, because I I , depend . • s ' . -now as upon all others, I may 1 Ott ro, the preservation of good order, and for 3cur countenance and support. I look to you For that support with confidence, more especially as y ou must b e well a ware that upon the character of our proceedings within will depond our character without doors at the present time,— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I may as well tell you something of the iorigin of this meeting. There are those, as you know, in the city of London, largely interested in its concerns, and extensively interested in its welfare, who are nevertheless not neglectful of the popular interests—who look to these in terests with particular regard_who are identified with them 1 on most occasions, and among whom I shall be always happy to include myself; and we thought it of great importance on this occasion, looking at our present position on the eve of a most important election, that you should be called together to express your sentiments thereupon, and that it should be ascer tained how far, and to what extent you are interested in that cause of reform -to which hitherto you had expressed so ardent an attachment —that you should declare on this occasion whe ther you are the same friends as you ever have been to the equal rights of your fellow-men, of whatever creed, of what ever colour, whatever country, or whatever condition—whe ther also-you are determined to carry out those reforms which you consider equally essential to our political, as they are to our social safety, and the improvement of our political institutions.—(Hear, and cheering.) Not being disposed (for I am aware you are not so disposed) to destroy or over turn anything but simply to purify and amend ; and whether in support of these principles you would at this time send your four Members to Parliament, who are all men of liberal cast and tendency—(Cheers) —who shall all of them, and without exception, carry out those principles and practices as fast and so far as times and circumstances will permit—Gentlemen, it was des;rable to ascertain your sentiments on the subject, (Hear, hear)—but let me say to you that I think you should not—that you cannot hesitate as between two opinions, you must either have Reformers or no Reformers—you must have melt who are thoroughly and deeply embued with the spirit of Reform, who are really the representatives of the liberal interests of this city; but on the other hand you must not be' too overweening in your expectations of any man or any set of men whatever.—(Cri e s of Hear, hear.) You have never been able yet to find out —you never have heard of two watches which went exactly alike. How then can you find one man to represent all your opinions —your mixed opinions ?—and how is it likely that you could find four men of that stamp ; therefore, Gentlemen, don't expect too much of any man. Take the broad, intelligent, liberal cast of character, exacting too much from no man, but leaving a little to his discretion. Do not be too hard upon them—expect them to do their duty, in the general acceptation of the word, and re pose some confidence in them.—( Hear, hear.) The simple question to be put to yourselves is, whether your pre sent Members—for to them I look with the greatest confidence myself—whether they have in times which are now passing away, done their duty faithfully and honourably, and with the best intentions towards you. I tell you, Gentlemen, that my individual opinions are, that no constituency was ever blest with men who so faithfully and entirely devoted them- 1 selves to the interests of their constituents—for they represent your interests and that of the country.--( Loud cheers.) No men have laboured so closely or with so much talent on your behalf, for I know their public characters intimately.—( Some interruption here took place at the remote part of the room.) If there be any gentleman in the room who does not approve of the objects of the meeting, we shall be happy to hear him in reply. Gentlemen, I say that your present representa tives are worthy of your renewed choice.—(Loud cheers.) If you think they have served you faithfully and honourably, and that you have one spark of gratitude, you will re-elect them, as a matter of course—they have zeal, talent, and assi duity, and have laboured with infinite success in adapting their conduct to the expectations, the humour, and the interests of their large constituency. It is for you to decide upon that point—it is for you to take the times at their present important turn, and give them that support which will. be likely to pro duce good fruits to yourselves.—( Hear, hear.) Take the broad, intelligent, and tangible lines of the subject under discussion, and I have no doubt of your decision —recollect the enemy are at your gates prepared to take advantage of any weakness that may be discovered in your camp. They are endeavouring to introduce even one Member, and that is indicative of their; intention to shovo in their whole body upon you when the opportunity offers.—( Hear, hear.) You should recollect that the introduction of one Member neutralises one of your present representatives, and tlien you will be only represented to the extent of one-half. They in tend to undermine that unanimity which they have found to be your strength upon past occasions, by saying that the minority ought to be represented as well as the majority. Look at their conduct for the last fifty years, but the people of this great country had to be grateful that such proceedings were happily at an end. We have at present a liberal and en lightened Sovereign.—(Cheers). There was no mistaking the uprightness of her intentions, for she has already com menced purging the Court of the rank enemies of Reform. There were many proofs of her purity of intention and jute restedness for the welfare and happiness of her subjects. Then let the people be loyal in r eturn—(Trernendous cheering)— and let them prove by their conduct, in sending up right and conscientious men to represent them, that they are grateful, and anxious to testify their sense of gratitude.— ( Loud cheers.) Certain resolutions would be drawn up, expressive of all that was intended, and nothing would be found in them of an intemperate character. I have not a sha dow of doubt that you will send four Liberal Members to Par liament.—( Cheers.) After the first resolutions arc submitted then the present Members will take occasion to address you on the past, present, and the future. The first resolution would be moved by the son of a gentleman, whose name is fa miliar to every man who entertains sentiments of a liberal kind--I beg leave to introduce to you Mr. Edward Buxton, as the mover of that resolution. Mr. BUXTON in coming forward was loudly cheered. He felt that he was inadequate to the task for the honour con ferred upon him, which he attributed partly to the kindness of the worthy Chairman, and partly to the name which he had the honour to bear. The resolution he had to propose was respecting the confidence which the citizens of London reposed in their present representatives, and he felt certain that there was a small minority of the City of London who would dissent from the spirit of that resolution. He ti ought by re-electing their present representatives, they would best promote the great interests of Reform, and he thought that no Administration would so seriously affect the trade and interest of the country as a grinding Tory Administration, which he hoped no one present would ever witness, holding the reins o power again. Mr. DILLON then read the first resolution. That this meeting viewing the continuance in office of a Liberal Administration as the surest pledge of future good Government, bail with satisfaction the declaration made by her Majqsty to the Privy Council on the 20th ult., being satisfied that the happiness of the country will he best promoted by that progressive improvement in our laws and institutions, of whirls the foundation has been laid by the Reform Act of 1832. Mr. DILI.ON said that he stepped forward with the greatest satisfaction to second the resolution. He felt confidence in. the prospects before them, in consequence of her Majesty's answer to the address of the City of London, in which she declared that she placed the firmest reliance in the wisdom, and had the highest confidence in the prudence and firmness of the people. Would they declare that such confidence bad been misplaced ?—( Loud cries of " No, no.") Iler Majesty also reminded them that she succeeded to a Sovereign, whose great object had been to improve the laws, and to ame lim-ate the i nst i tut i ons o f the country ; whose ' name was held in the highest esteem, and in whose footsteps it would be her study and glory to tread. And did not they also respect his late Majesty ? And why ? Because he was William the Reformer.—( Applause.) Her Majesty declared that she would tread in his Majesty's footsteps, and she would, therefore, promote the amendment of the lairs and the ame lioration of the Institutions of the country. 80, the. Re formers revolutionists, or whatever they might be termed, her Majesty was a Refoemer—(Cheere)—and volentarlly pledged to pursue like measures. But who, that was wise and good, was not a Reformer? And what was it to be a Reformer? To seek to remove that which was bad, and to perfect that which was good.—( Cheers.) They did not seek, like the Conservatives, to preserve what was evil, selfish, and exclusive. Iler Majesty declared her respect for the institu tions of her native land ; had they less respect for those insti tutions? Quite the contrary—and, like her Majesty, they only sought the amelioration of them in order the better to secure their preservation. Her Majesty likewise had declared her determination to support the Protestant institutions of the country, adding—and be the words ever remembered— to secure the " full enjoyment of religious liberty to all."— , (Loud cheers,) What had they now to do ? To return Mem bers for the City of London. On the occasion of the Reform, they proposed and carried four Members, thereby showing the feeling of the City of London on the question of Reform It was proposed that they should pursue the like course now.__ (Cheers.) He hoped they would all feel the conviction of the necessity of such a course as strongly now, as they did on the occasion of the Reform Hear, hear.) He begged them not to be diverted from their course. Allow none to ap proach under false colours, or specious name and pretext. Who were their enemies? The Tories—(Hear, hear)—and they were against the Tories.--( Hear, hear.) He would not de scribe the Tories. He would resort to one of their own active andretirementand ) He hoped the like means would induce John orsley Palmer Esq , to retire in ti me , an d p rev i ous ly t o being compelled to do • so.--( Hear, and a laugh.) He re spectedbut ile spoke ep himic and ocommercial individualc ha r a e n t e o r r of as M a r c . a n Pal; dd m a e t r e but as the nomine e of the " absurd" and " contemptible" Tories.—(Cheers.) That gentleman was urged forward as the instrument of the c ontemptible, absurd, and stupid To ries. The committee for the Conservative interests, aft( r all their efforts and boasting had come to the resolution of select ing only one candidate, Mr. H. Palmer ; 'but in him they declared that they felt warmly interestefl in his success. He spoke not in derogation of Mr. Lyall, jun. He did right in defending his father against the stupid, ' contemptible, and ab. turd 'Tories ; but the like reason: which induced Mr. Lyon to YITIE SUN, LONDON, MOINIDAY„JeLy retire might to be !iii teratiVe on Ale. Paineer, tie dein. to t_111 ( e tto t l 6 r a ; nl , f ile t , in t in s is t i t ject to consider, even beson'l that of resisting one individual; it was that of deciding Whether they ivere to continue to sup port Reform or not,—( Hear, hear.) As proof of their deter mination to support the t eausseof ,Refeeen„th e l y s had juretpore eiS 'section of tour Memo, rs tor the Uty of Lon , on. Now, look at the consequences of abandoning that course, and of allowing one Conservative Member, the nominee of the stu pid, contemptible, and absurd Tories, to succeed ? Let but that env !ssenber Ze tattled b e t their elates:lee, antl teceld it not be calculated to be destructive of the plans and efforts of Reform ? Their opposition to Mr. Horsley Palmer would not be, ctihld not he personal; but it must be decided and triumphant The it of London must again catty four Itertiriti Members —they must copy themselves--they must repeat their former triumph, or ishat would the country say? Would it not be everywhere declared, if one ( 74 - _or,r , vative Member got in for London, that in this city there was re-action ?—( Loud cries of " Hear I") Seeing, then, how much was at stake, how much character they would lose, how much the cause of Reform would be injured by allowing the one, nominee of the stupid, absurd, and contemptible Tories to succeed, he called or. them to be firm, persevering, and decided in their support of four Reform Members for the City. There being so much at stake, he hoped that they would be united in their efforts, and forget all minor difficulties in the great, important, and requisite triumph to be achieved for the cause of Reform, if the country were not to have the opportunity of representing that there was "reaction" in the City of London. He hoped they would adopt all possible means to carry the re-election of those four Members who had so firmly supported re form, and the success of whose election was so important to the character of the city and the cause of reform ; and to adopt the words of their gracious Queen, so essential to the " ame lioration of the laws and institutions of the country." The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. CHARLES PERKINS, Esq., then came forward amid much cheering to move the second resolution. Had he not felt greatly the cause of the people, he should have requested the Chairman to have placed the resolution in hands that were much more capable to do it justice.—(Cheers.) He was not in the habit of presenting himself before public meetings of his fellow-citizens ; he never did so but on one occasion, and that was in the room in which they were at present as sembled, at the time in which a Reform in Parliament was first agitated, and he thought then that he could not do better for the service of the cause of civil and religious liberty than by p romot i ng a R e f orm i n Parliament. The resolution he had to propose was as follows: That in confirmation of these sentiments, and in aid of these ob jects, it is in the opinion of this meeting most essential to the in terests of the people that good and tried Reformers should be re turned to Parliament at the ensuing general election, and that the four present Representatives of this City in Parliament, (Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Pattison) having approved them selves to the Liberal constituency, they be invited again to stand forward as Candidates upon Liberal principles. The very essence of the Resolution was, that they should all unite—use every exertion, and move hand and heart to return these four gentlemen to Parliament. The electors of the city of London, by so doing, would confer great honour on them selves, and promote the cause of freedom and of liberty. The metropolitan elections would be the first decided in this coun try, and it would be of the greatest consequence that the decision of the City of London should be held up as an index for the support of Liberal principles. To re-elect the four indepen dent Members of the City would be a very great step indeed towards the advancement of civil and religious liberty over the whole world.— (Cheers.) The aspect of the times was such they must either go forward or backwards.—( Cheers.) No person knew that better than the Tories—(Cheers)— they were a little chop-fallen at what had taken place— ( Cheers)—they had exhausted the fund of the Carlton Club—(Loud and continued cheering)—and they be gan now, according to the Press they employed, to complain that they had not got the sinews of war.—( Laughter.) It wastrue,perhaps, that the Reformers had not the sinews of war to the extent that the Tories had; but he trusted, and he felt convinced, that they would make up the want of the means by the energy that they would employ.—(Cheers.) There was a political saying which had been handed about for some years " it's no mistake."—(Laughter.) There was no mistake now. —(Cheers.) The people of England had had a full and open declaration of their Sovereign that she would patronise and support the amelioration of the institutions of the country. —(Cheers.) That was all the people wanted.--(Continued cheering.) All that the people wanted was that improve. ment in the institutions of the country that their increase, knowledge, and change of circumstances required. The Queen had said that she would favour liberal principles.— (Cheers.) Nay, she had gone farther—she had entrusted the administration of the affairs of the country to men who had been tried, and were avowedly liberal.--(Cheers.) Such being the case it was the duty of the country to return to Par liament men who would support her Majesty in her gracious declaration, and support her Liberal Ministers in their good intentions.—(Cheers.) The people did not want, as had been repeatedly said, to overturn the institutions of the country ; all that they wanted was to have such a change effected in those institutions as the times required.—(Hear.) They did not wear the same shoes now which they wore when they were three years old.--(Cheers and laughter.) Neither did they wear the same dresses they did a hundred years ago—if dress required alteration, so did the institutions of the country. —( Cheers.) The people also wanted to do good for Ireland.—(Cheers ) They wanted to make that country not the weakness, but the strength of England—the people of Ireland asked for nothing but to be placed in the same situation as the people of England—to that thderisti,elrraaerpdtraeto..n undoubted right and it' the electors ofeinLidioaenipiddeonandnewished to show to the world that it was their wish to give equal rights sentati v t oeTs join.n- — 0 s ( u ,h il aa e n a \dry stoecaulrle, tthheeyeeleocutlidonnootfdtohebierttperretsl present four m o v a n n n d a a h e s a c r c t o seconded eudp hold th e resolution. po.ricuosteions ant y. a i d ! m e i n felt .

It had been his good fortune to second the nomination of one . of the present candidates who first appeared in that character amon g then) immediately after th e p ass i ng o f t h e Reform Bill, and he could without the least hesitation, that in every opinion expressed by him, and in every vote which he had givep in the House of Commons, he (I)r.

They had not kept the promise to the car, and broken it to the hope. In all respects, therefore, they might claim from the electors of the City of London entire confidence, and unabating and universal support.--( Cheers.) He would new make one re mark upon the peculiar critical situation in which the country was. He conceived that upon the present election would de pend entirely the future progress of Ref orm . If t h ey i ntended that the work of R e f orm should proceed, that the people of this country should possess all their rights, privileges, and immu nities, that general education and universal civil snd religious liberty shouid be enjoyed by the people of this country, they must take care to seed to the House of Commons a body of men who would loudly and largely express an opinion, and then they might depend upon this, that the Court was ready to move in accordance with their opinions, and a very refractory community, which bad been puzzling the nation to a very con siderable extent would very soon give way and become quiescent, co:die:cent and reforming.—(Caeers and laughter.) Nothing but an absolute expression of popular opinion was wanted to do away with all the present difficulties. The cause of Reform was perfectly safe, and he was perfectly persuaded that whether quickly or slowly, it was proceeding with all the celerity that belonged to the present state of public opinion, and to the force which popular opinion had put into the House of the people, that was the house of Commons. The Learned Dr. concluded, amidst great cheering, by moving the following re solution : That this meeting believing their present Representatives to be thus entitled to the renew a l o f t h e popular support ; and feeling the paramount importance of unanimity, bath in sentiment and ac tion, at the present moment, do pledge themselves to secure the return of these gentlemen to the ensuing Parliament, resolving to suspend all discussions of those minor points upon which the best Reformers disagree, and to unite in the support of men whose at tachment to the broad principles of national improvement are clear and indisputable, it being by a general assent to such extended views, that the good order of society can be best preserved, and our liberties—both civil and religious matured and perfected. RIVERSDALE GREENFIELD, EST, seconded the resolution. After the very able speeches which the meeting had heard, he should nut occupy their attention with any observations. The CHAIRMAN was about to put the resolution to the meet ing, when he was interrupted by an individual whose name we understood to be Adams, who inquired whether he might be allowed to move an amendment? On being answered in the affirmative by the Chairman, he mounted the platform, which caused great confusion, several individuals calling out " Chair, chair," and " Are you an elector ?" The CHAIRMAN—II is suggested by many of my fellow citizens about me that I should put the question of whether this gentleman is or is not an elector ? - • Mr. ADAMS said it was not a meeting of electors but Re f rmere.—( Interruption.) Ile would insist upon his right to bo heard.—( Loud cries of " Chair, chair," and " Order.") The CHAIRMAN—AIIow me to say that he can hardly have read the summonses for this meeting, or he would have known that it was a meeting of electors,—(Loud cheers.) It does also seem to me, after the very general appeal that has been made to me by the meeting, an impropriety on the part uf any - '.,ll2s,ague= one! is ils.hfress_.the flelt7r,--( Renew, d cheerinth) The h question filen ikitildr(4. the Reiol , *ti , ..4.f ft.mt the Chair tit s dir- I tied unanimou , ::* : . Alderman WOOD then came forward, anti Nt ' t'i !Oth loud and reiterated cheering from all parts of the meeting. When the applause was in some degree subsided, to worthy "ap;:ioar before you for the 18!li time, but neith er t i me nor ci Nate I, 'PY changed me or my sentiments.—( Cheers ) As to mysehf I am perhaps looking a little older, as thii.se grey hairs will testlfr i bet I am otherwise unchanged.—( Hear.) At all times fretjileiir dpfitretutOties rife afllJi'Lli7d those who represent the citizens of London of meelitig their' constituents, but I do assure you that at no time do feel itiofe happy than when an opportunity is afforded me of appearing be tore so larg'e tin t.embly of illy fellow citizens, in order to take their opinions as to ti itetht-r lam still worthy to represent them in Parliament.—( Hear, hear, and !o.d cheer ing,) Gentleman, certainly, if I was not in good health, I should have had at this period of life a fair plea for asking of you to allow me to retire from tilt , Pafliamentary labours, but I still feel that I have powers sufficient to enable me f.n attend to my duties. I have in no instance in the present or in tiny previous session, neglected those duties, or been absent on the discussion of any important subject except under very pe liar circumstances.—(Much cheering.) I hope then, then, I shall be ollowed to represent you again, and I trust that it will be with the same zeal and fidelity that I have hitherto done. I own, and I do assure'you most sincerely, that if I found at any time that, either from long continued illness or any other cause, I should be prevented or incapacitated from continuing the performance of those duties, I should immediately resign 'my scat into your hands ; but at present I have no such ex cuse.—( Vehement cheering.) And I have a strong stimulus why I should not disturb the representation of the city of London as it at present stands. I believe that the next Par liament will be one of the greatest importance—l may say the greatest that has occurred within my remembrance ; for we have, as has been so well put to you, and which I need not now repeat —we have at the head of the Government a Queen who I may say was born in the cap of liberty—whose father was always most favourable to its promotion, and even within our own memory took an active and zealous part with regard to education in the city of London. Her mother also, it has been admitted on ;all hands, has done every thing in her power to forward that useful institution of which he was the founder. Therefore Ido hope that during the next session of Parliament, matters of the most vital importance to the in terests of the citizens of London will be brought forward. You have already by your resolution declared that the present Government ought to be supported. I confess that I have sometimes thought I go a little farther. I have never asked any favour of them, and really my constituents have acted most honourably towards me in that respect. During the reign of the Tories they had the giving away of everything within the City of London ; but such is not the case now.— (Great cheering.) Whenever any of my constituents have asked me to interfere in their behalf my answer has been " I really have it not within my power, I cannot go to the Government and ask them for a place."—(Great ap plause.) And really I have not had the power to do so for this reason, that I have„„ — always supported the Ministry, when the interest of the people permit me to do so ; but if there are points upon which I differ from them, with your permission, I must be allowed to go a little further. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) I shall be always proud when I have an opportunity to appear before you, and if upon any of the great political principles on which I first started there should appear any deviation on my part, let me be called to ac count for it, and I shall resign my trust into your hands. ( Cheers). I shall be ready at all times to listen to any advice or suggestion you may think proper to offer me, and to be in all possible ways at your service.—(lmmense cheering.) Mr. GROTE then rose amidst loud cheers—lie said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen-1 cannot but feel delighted and elated at the tone and the temper which have distinguished the present most respectable meeting—so enthusiastic in the cause of reform, and so indulgent to my colleagues and myself. —( Cheers.) Gentlemen, the time is now approaching when I must restore to you the important trust you reposed in me, and again present, in conjunction with my three col leagues, for your suffrages after the lapse of three years during which we have in Parliament sat as your representatives.— ( Hear.) Gentlemen, I have had already the honour of being twice elected as your representative; and let your future deci sion be as it may, this distinguished honour will be most certainly recollected by me with pride and with gratitude ; and although I cannot claim to have performed one-fifth part of the service which my respected colleague on my left has so justly and so properly boasted, and although •I cannot pretend to have discharged the trust you have reposed in me in such a way as to answer the expectations of my constituents—certainly not so as to come to the level of my own wishes, yet I can honestly declare that I have not used this trust for any unworthy purposes.— (Loud and long-continued cheering.) I have not evaded the duty connected with that trust, and above all I have not receded from those principles which in first coming forward, I announced to you to be the basis and the foundation of my creed and of my belief.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, on one ,special ground, I consider the time, and the approaching dis solution of Parliament, to be peculiarly seasonable. and ap propriate.—( Hear.) The present Parliament has now sat for three years, and that, in my opinion, is as long as any Par liament ought to sit.—( Loud and enthusiasCe cheering ) The present Parliament will in fact have been what all Parliaments ought to be--it will be triennlal—(Cheers)—and I should be ! dad indeed if I could hope that the next and all succeeding Parliaments shall not last for a longer period. It is time after Members of Parliament have enjoyed the trust reposed in them for the period of three years, that the sentence of their con stituents should again be passed upon them, wnether it be favourable or adverse.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, at this parti cular juncture it is your province to note what has been done for the cause of Reform since you last sent your representa tives to Parliament, and what has been done to effect its pro gress by your representatives.—( Hear.) From these facts you will deduce wheth er w h at h as b een accomplished has been _adequate to your expectations. Why it cannot he twenty, I shall not now say—l shall not now enter into the causes of tills.—(dear, hear.) I am here to explain my own conduct, and in reference to it I shall venture to sa y, that every measure which was founded by the present Government which deserved your approbation had my concurrence and support.—( Loud cheers.) I consider that the English Municipal Reform Bill, which is the best, as it was the earliest measure of the Government of Lord Melbourne, is the great achievement of this Parliament in the cause of good Government.—( Loud cheers-) I must not forget also tho reductien of the stamp duties upon Newspapers, which was effected in the last session—a measure which, al though not amounting to a total repeal of the tax, is one of a character which in my opinion will tend to the best of rll ends, the extension of knowledge and the diffusion of po litical diseussion s amongst the great body of the people. (To be concluded in our Second Edition.) CONSERVATIVE MEETING. CITY OF LONDON.-(THIS DAY.) A Meeting of the Friends of Mr. Horsley Palmer was held to-day in the above Tavern. About a quarter past one o'clock the Chair was taken by Gco. Hibbert, Esq., at which time there were about 200 most respectable persons present. The CHAIRMAN said the Meeting was called to request Hor sley Palmer, Esq., to stand as a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow-citizens at the ensuing election. Air. Palmer's name had been put forward within very few days, and he was commissioned now to say that Mr. Palmer would most decid edly stand if he received such promises of support as would ensure him a chance of success. The Hon. Gentleman then read the requisition, which, he said, was signed by so great a number of gentlemen as to render it impossible to invert it in any newspaper. C. BARCI:AV, Esq., M. P., rose to move the first resolu tion, which was to the effect, that it was essential to the in terests of the City of London that it should be represented by men of sound constitutional principles, who without being pledged to exclusive views on political questions, would be ena bled to exercise his judgment on Conservative grounds. Little known as he was to the citizens of Loudon, he presumed that the meeting had selected him, because during the three years he had been in Pat liament he had endeavoured to guide himself upon those principles professed by Alr. Pabner—the principles of moderation, clearly avoiding any extreme. Those been an aby been a much s ery onein voguemust o ‘ilach e .li.sv x aalsteid t sieh r ri e a!tldal m dti;eiddh e cid;lmyuto, o h.tr p iyeoci, i o: l , l :c : or o tosel n ual:%ce.i s irteiert jr t r l si - f. which s h 'i-l o 7 w ili ever, that if he could offer any to tin: cause of Conservatism, it and he therefore most willingly gave importance experience of of t e l s a t s e t p t s h t r i e l e e y y ‘ e v a e r r s e d about.co to take, and of the necessity there was of sending men—practical men —men of independent minds, such as his friend Mr. 11 Palmer, into Parliament. There was a great want of such men in the House at present, and he fully believed that the trade and commerce of the country had suffered most materially from the want of advice such men could afford to the House. The present time was a most peculiar one. The throne was filled by a young and inexperienced woman, who was trammelled by a party which had the support of neither side of the House —Yeas trammelled by a party which was the ridi cule of one side and the contempt of the other—( Ilear)— a party who acre halting, between two opinions. During his short experience in Parliament, he had seen them supporting the appropriation clause in the Irish Tithe Bill, for the mere purpose of ousting their opponents. They had before that as a Government declared against it, and now having gained their ends, they had abandoned it. Than, again, with respect to the question of Church -rates, they had come forward with a measure, which he had no hesitation in declaring to be one of the most objectionable that bad ever been presented to Parlia ment. Ile had himself heard Lord John Russell declare that he Would never give his consent to any measure for the aboli tion of Church-rates which trenched upon the resources of the Chur c h ; yet, in order to please, and to gain the support of the Dissenting body, they had come forward with a measure of actual spoliation. He called upon those present, as friends to the Church and to the• Throne, to be united ; for united they must be to return even one gentleman of Conservative opinions as Member for the City of London. He did not know what lan guage would be held in the house opposite; the Members there might call themselves the supporters of the Church and the Queen, but most decidedly three out of the four Members were not supporters of the Government ; their names were to be found in the minority upon all divisions in which the questions involved would prove destructive to the best institutions of the country. Those destructive questions the Government had opposed, but how long they might continue to so it was impossible to say ; for if they found it necessary to adopt extreme opinions in order to maintain their places, he did not think they could resist._-..(Cheers,) He perfectly knew, how- ever, that throughout the country a great it - terest was arising in favour of Conservative principie.L When he re flected upon the scene he had witnessed lately in the Ateat rciolli iu Ctrafg ;tin- lane, when he looked around him and saw the Ithe respectable meeting by v‘hich he was surrounded, he felt certain that the opinions they adtretlztted were gaining kTo&!;!.--4 Hear, hear.) Every one present ought to bear in mind thet the7d ft• no outcry in favour of the Government— no cry for Reform—the gee;:tritl wAg clear, and therefore ;t was in the power of any one of them to (31 , tein a great number of 'f'' o , l 9 for the Conservative candidate, for many would give their sqi;port to Mr, Palmer by one vote, leaving the other three unfettered. All their elti:Asly ought to be to get friends to vote for Mr. Palmer. Thanking than for their kind attention, and again entreating them to be united, he begged most respect fully to propose the resolution, which he had just read, for their adoption, (To be concluded in our Second Edition.)

The Rev. J. R. Wood and Captain Curzon also left the Caitle for Bushy Park. Prince Ernest of HMO Philippsthall arrived at the Queen's House, St. James's, at one o'clock yesterday, from Windsor Castle. At the Chapel Royal, St. James's, yesterday, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Capel preached a funeral sermon. Attwocd's Te Drum, in A, and Sanctus, in G, were performed. The antht:Tn was, " Turn thee again, 0 Lord, at the last," composed by Mr. Attwood for the funeral of the Princess Charlotte. Mr. Attwood presided at the organ. Sir Herbert Taylor, G.

COUNTY OF SUTHERLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—In the Inverness Courier of yesterday there appeared an address from the Hon. Mr. Howard to the electors of the county of Sutherland. Although it was perfectly well known twelve months ago that an Hon. Mr. Howard was to be the Member at next election, no one of the electors had any knowledge of him or his principles further than was gathered from the newspapers, and that was in substance that he was a Liberal and a supporter of the Ministry. But to the great astonishment of the county, what sort of an address does he issue? Wiil it be believed—an out-and-out Tory one. Per haps you may not be aware that the county and its votes are the property of the Duchess Countess of Sutherland, which she can dispose of as she pleases, and the votes arc by her desire to be given at this election to an Hon. Mr. Howard. Compare his address with that of the present Member's to the constituency of the Inverness boroughs. Had we the ballot the Hon. Mr. Howard should not misrepresent the county of Sutherland. However, though we lose a vote to the Ministry here, Mr. M‘Leod does away with the disgrace of Inverness being the only borough in Scotland at present represented by a Tory. I am, Sir, yours obediently, Sutherland, July 6. AN ELECTOR. SUTIIERLANDSIIIRE.—In your paper of the 3d inst., under the head of General Election, You say—" The Hon. Mr. Howard will be returned on the Reform interest without op position." Alas GLASGOW ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) THE TORY CANDIDATES CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP! " Dost thou think that because thou'rt virtuous, 'there shall be no more cakes or ale ?—Yes, by St. Anne, and ginger shall be hot i' the mouth too I"—Shakspeare. Are the two Tory candidates of Glasgow (namely, Messrs. James Campbell and Robert Monteith) really such simpletons as to believe that because they can ape liberality in their ad dresses (the devil could quote Scripture—and he, too, was rejected and scouted for his pains I) that the Reform electors will give them credit for having any thing like reform in their hearts? If so, this is the veriest insult that could be given to an enlightened constituency ; and that there may be "no mistake" as to its having bcen offered, "out of their ossu mouths shall they be condemned. "It is your duty (quoth Mr. Robert Monteith to the electors) to express, by your suffrages, your opinion of the manner in which her Majesty may best fulfil her high function of maintaining—( Query— Did she not declare that she ' would promote the further ame lioration of our laws ?') our liberties, and at the same time cif handing them down in all security to future generations. " I am persuaded that if that measure (reiterates the other Tory candidate, Mr. James Campbell, in allusion to the Re form Bill) be allowed a fair trial, it cannot fail to yield the peaceable fruits of prudent and beneficial legislation, tending at once to the improvement and stability of all our valued in stitutions, the advancement' of our national, and the still greater security of our civil and religious liberties." Dost thou, Jim and Bob, really think that because thou apcst to be virtuous or liberal, that you will deter the no3cst Glasgow Reformers—as the eyes of Britain have been ever upyi them —from nobly doing their duty ? No ! They know t►:eir "duty" too well, and they value the " Reform Bill" too I highly, without requiring to be tutored, as respects either by you, Tory converts And we rejoice to think that their firm determination is to give their individual support to the two genuine Reform candidates, Messrs. John Dennistoun and —(his name is expected to be announced on Niondt.y,) who w;11 in their turn aid the good cause so yrarmly espoused by our lovely and virtuous Queen Victoria, by her Majesty's Ministers, and by all enlightened constituencies ! God save the Queen, and " Let Glasgow flourish by the Reform Bill I" Out of place—having lost his character on the rood—the recreant driver of the Derby Dilly, who is now reduced to brg-gary and despair ! The payment of the Quarterly Dividends to the public commenced to-day at the Bank of England, the private bankers having yesterday signed for the amounts to which they were entitled, under powers of attorney as trustees, or by other authority. There was a more numerous attendance on the part of the public than was anticipated ; and it created some remark that the number of ceroneted carriages which con veyed the Aristocratical fundholders into the City, was ext.- tainly greater than is usual on the first day of the payment of the dividends. In other respects the City bore the appearance of the observance of the Sabbath, scarcely a shop or ware house being open. A notice was posted to-day at the Bank of England, appointing Thursday, the 22d inst., for a special meeting of the Proprietors, to consider the propriety of voting the Address of Condolence to th... Queen Dowager, on the death .of the late King, and of congratulating her Majesty Queen Victoria on her accession to the throne. By about three o'clock public business had wholly ceased in the City ; nearly the whole of the, cuffec-houses, as well as other estab lishments, were closed. ANECDOTE OF THE QUEEN.—The following anec dote of her Majesty Queen Victoria will, we doubt not, be read with interest by our readers :—While Princess Victoria, her Majesty, accompanied by her illustrious mother the Duchess of Kent, wae frequently in the habit of taking a drive in the nei g hb our h oo d o f Wi m bl e d on Common. Ore those occasions they generally passed the cottage of a poor but industrious gardener named ,Talbot, situated on the left hand side of the road leading:from the Hammersmith Sespen sion Bridge, and close to the village of Barnes, and her Ma jesty being struck with the beauty of the flowers and the taste with which they were artanged would often stop the carriage for the purpose of inhaling their flagrance. Oa Monday evening last the Queen, during her drive to her fa vourite spot, as usual passed the grounds of Mr. Talbot, when she stopped the carriage, and seeing Mrs. Talbot, is is much afflicted v, ith rheumatism, sitting in front, called to her, and requested she would oblige her with a nosegay of roses and sw , et peas from the beds with which the garden abounded. Mrs. Talbot, being unaware of the illustrious rat k of her visitor, instantly hobbled from her seat and cut a small bouquet, which, with a courtesy, she presented at the door of the barouchc. Her Majesty seeing her lameness, inquired the cause, when, learning it was the rheumatism, she put a sove reign into Mrs. Talbot's hand, who, observing the Queen made ut the same moment a sign for the carriage to proceed, begged she would wait for her change, but her Majesty in a most kind manner told her to get something to ease the pain of her rheumatism with it. Mrs. Talbot's surprise when she afterwards heard from the toll collector at the bridge that 'her visitor was the Queen, may be imagined. Parliamentary electors in cities and boroughs will lose their votes unless they pay on before the 20th of July in stant, the poor -rate and window tax due on the sth of April last. County voters must send in their claims by the 20th of July instant.

During Wednesday night the neighbourh oo d o f Spreads E tgic-court, Gray's Inn-lane, was kept in a state of excite men' in consequence of a desperate affray which took 'dace!' in which Ilcnora Foley, a young woman, was so consi-p: derahly 'injured that 'her life is despair e d o f, an d ot h er i-. persons were severely wounded. It appears that two sis4' ters, Ilunora and Eliza Foley, loose girls, who carry aboutl fruit for sale, reside together in' a disreput a bl e was, in'',l Spread Eigle-court, with a fellow named O'Connell. On'•,3 Wednesday they contrived to extract a so v ere i gn frog: a man's pocket, when a dispute occured as to the sliaring%, of it between the three ; a quarrel ensued, in consequence;, of Eiiza Foley refusing to divide it, and a battle royal took !.. place, in which knives, pokers, sticks, and other wcapons'i were used ; and Eliza Foley received several stabs. Ilerq head was nearly laid open, and her nose cut quite through, by her own sister. She ran bleeding to Hatton-garden police-'.. oiliLle for assistance, but the office was closed. She pro 4-,, ceaded to a dcctor's, where her wounds were dressed, and'; °' ten o'clock she returned to her lod g i ngs , w h en th e quarre l l and fight were renewed, and the neighbourhood alarmed.; O'Connell and lionora Foley attacked Eliza, and they 4 knives were again used, and the latter received several; other additional wounds of a serious nature ; a n d it was' generally reported that she bad been murdered. Informa: tion having reached Archer, 1.50 G, and other constables, then proceeded to the house in Spread Eagle -court, where: , ;;; . they found Eliza Foley lying on the lljor insensible. The place was covered with blood, which was s till . flxving from some shocking wounds, evidently inflicted... with a knit*" She was instantly conveyed,to St.. Bartholo-'4. mew's Ho3pital,wbere six now lies without hope of recovery. The officers made inquiries, and ultimately apprehende4 O'Connell and Honora Foley, whom they took to the station3* I house, where they were detained until yesterday morniner,t. - „ ien t h e y were taken to Hatton-garden Police-office, and charged before Messrs. Laing and Rogers, when a sur geon's certificate was produced, stating that several severe : . wounds had been inflict e d on Eliza Foley's person, and she ,. was in danger. N es bi t , the officer or this establishment, 2 1 stated that he went and saw Eliza Foley, find the wounds ' were deep and shocking to look at. The female prisoner'- chid not deny the charge. O'Connell coolly said, with a broad Iri s h b rogue , ccl taint to make pace betwano tlivn and their mother, and sure that's all I did." Several 10• i... hibitants attended to speak o f th e i r m i scon d uc t, and to`' show that the neighbourhood was in a state of ferment all! , night through them. Mr. LAING ordered the prisoners to be remanded, and.. the state of the injured girl should be reported to him froii day to day. The prisoners were eventually sent (5 prison. IN It is calculated that upwards of 100 steamers pass D.pt ford in the course of every 24 hours. As some young men were going along th e mea dowl at Bitten, near the river, a few days hilice, they saw win's hat on the bank, and, on further search, a razor iess! I ,und near it. They procured resistance, and dragged thel river, all soon found the - body cf it labouring man eilmadi Hi ,bs. A large stone, weighing upwa-ds of sib. teas fast cued round his nc. , ek 'by a handkerchief, and his throat was' s:i 4 l.tly cut in two places. An inquest was subsequently held: .t •13.tron, before Mr. W. J.
