I'ECKHAM.-011 Monday last, the Grand Jury, at the Surrey Sessions, Newington, returned a true bill for an assault upon Mary Smith, against Josiah Evans, one of the relieving officers of the City of London Union, and George Bennett, a City pauper ; and, it being generally supposed that the case would have come on for trial yesterday, a great deal of interest was excited. It will be recollected that some weeks ago the defendant Bennett and Brace had been brought to Lambeth police-court on a warrant charging them with committing a very savage assault upon two other casual paupers wile had slept at Marlborough-house, named Smith and Jones. On that occa sion the complainants did not appear, and there was too much reason to suppose that they had been kept out of the way intentionally, but at all events the defendants were discharged. From the publication of the case, and the facts set forth, the Poor Man's Guardian Society took up the matter, o ff ered a reward for th e discovery of Smith and Jones, and the former was at length found out. A second warrant was then granted on the application of the Chairman of the Society, and Smith's own statement, against Bennett and Evans, and the case of assault, upon the heating of the case, being clearly established against both defendants, the magistrate sent the case to the sessions. The witness was in attendance on Monday, and the grand jury, as above Stated, found a true bill against the defendant, but the latter traversed:lit until at: nazNession ii October, when it rill be hest et those 8031101 A THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY_ MORNING, JULY 9, 1846. good-heartedness pervades the entire address ; it is peculiarly and essentially accordant with the digni fied bearing always preserved by the Anti-Corn-law League. Nor is it indeed the least remarkable cir cumstance, in connexion with the history of that re markable association, that, whereas it was composed of a vast multitude of persons of all varieties of reli gious creeds, of all varieties of pursuits, and of all varieties of temperament, it avoided, throughout its existence, not only all turbulence and insubordination, but any single difference or squabble amongst its mem bers. Battling against the pecuniary interests of many, the prejudices of habit, and the misconceptions of the mass, the originators of this extraordinary body quietly gained ground amongst their assailants; by cogency of argument and force 'of honest speaking, they tore the sophistries of the monopolists to very tatters, and moved forward to the accomplishment of their intentions upon a solid foundation of fact. Much has been said about the eloquence of the League orators, but the peculiarity of that eloquence has never been sufficiently noticed. It was an eloquence altogether contradistinguished from the eloquence of the schools ; it discarded all the meretricious adornments of diction ; it strove not to embellish by similitudes, or to adorn by the useless interpolation of striking phrases. There was some thing in it peculiarly unostentatious : it was to the last degree homespun. What it wanted in adven titious decorations it made up for in an array of facts altogether irresistible. These are the qualities which have tended more than any other to facilitate the dissemination of the influence, and to secure the ulterior victory, of this wonderful association. It has done infinitely more than achieving freedom of commerce ; it has afforded an example to mankind of how inevitably a great advantage may be realised by peaceful, legal, and constitutional efforts. Mr. O'CONNELL re-appeared in the Concili ation Hall, in Dublin, on Monday. From the vast power which he wields in his native land—a power which has shaken to the foundation every Government that has been formed since he first quitted his lucrative profession, to become the public champion of an oppressed and suffering nation— any speech made by Mr. O'CONNELL is sure to be read with the deepest interest. Apart from the commanding influence he exer cises in Ireland, his untiring energy, acknowledged talents, and moving eloquence, never fail to rivet the attention of his audience, or to afford matter for serious reflection throughout the length and breadth of the United Empire. The present posture of affairs imparts an additional interest to the public addresses of the great leader of the Irish people. 'We are arrived at a juncture in which, it is not to be doubted, the popular power vested in Mr. O'CON.• NELL can be rendered conducive to the stability or enervation of the Government, according to the views he may embrace and the advice he may tender to the Association, of which he h the govern ing head. Looking to the unexampled wrongs inflicted upon Ireland by the bigoted narrow-minded ness, which has so tediously characterised successive administrations in their treatment of that country, we were not surprised when the desire for repeal as sumed the organised shape it has done for some years past. Neither are we insensible to the fact, that it is owing to the agitation which has been kept on foot, that some salutary changes have been already ef fected, and that a spirit of searching reformation has been at last evoked, calculated to confer the greatest benefits on Ireland. Had this agitation never been summoned into existence, the Commission, for in stance, of which Lord DEVON was at the head, would never have been appointed ; and without the im portant information, thus elicited, we should have been, to this hour, deprived of the advantages likely to be attained by the schemes, modelled by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and recently introduced to Parliament by the Earl of Lip:coils'. We have no doubt these measures, warmly eulogised as they were by Mr. O'Cost - NELL, will be taken in hand by the new Government., and that, by their operation; we shall be ere long,gratified with a sensible diminution of the agrarian 'Outrages, which have so painfully compromised the social peace of Ireland. Repeal itself we have ever regarded as a chimera. The English, however, are too generous to he unmindful of the services of the Irish Member, , , who have supported of late years, from the Reform Bill downwards, all the great liberal measures which, to the marked contentment of the English and Scotch, now grace our statute-book ; and we are also too humane not to urge our Government to remove the gross inequalities which prevail between our own in stitutions and those of the Emerald Isle. We have a fair promise that this will now be undertaken in a masterly spirit, and that, hen accomplished, the desire of a separate Legislature will be buried in oblivion. It has not been customary with Mr. O'CONNELL to praise Sir R. PEEL. The latter was highly and fre quently extolled by the former in Parliament during the present session, for the wise and benevolent steps he had taken to stay the hand of pestilence and arrest the march of famine, which last year threatened to engulph in misery millions of the Irish. In his speech of Monday last, Mr. O'CONNELL honourably renewed his eulogium, and stated that " eternal credit was due to Sir R. PEEL for having lost power in a struggle to feed the hungry, and to give wages to the artisan. Let every good and wise man rejoice that so much virtue was exhibited by one of the statesmen of their day." Mr. O'CONNELL endeavoured to impress on his hearers that repeal would be ultimately carried, be cau-e Mr. COBDEN, by a moral agitation, had succeeded in abolishing • the corn•laws. Mr. COBDEN accom plished his mission, in consequence of the complete hold which he gained over the minds of the people from the entire reasonableness of his project. Mr. O'CONNELL will fail in his struggle, as the English will never yield to the imputation (whatever be the amount of painful truth with which it has hitherto been made) that they are incompetent, or unwilling, to mete out justice to Ireland. Until every effort shall have been exhausted, the reproach to the Imperial Legislature, that would he involved by a repeal of the union, will never be submitted to. The happy and thriving condition of Scotland, since her union with England, will animate us with the hope that we shall yet find the means of rendering Ireland in spirit, as well as in name, an integral portion of the United Empire. Mr. O'CONNELL informed the meeting of his deter mination, at the earliest period of the next session of Parliament, to bring forward the que*tion of repeal. We trust that he will be induced to forbear bringing this subject under the notice of the Legislature, by the enunciation that will be previously made of " the most comprehensive measures," which Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his address to the electors of the City of London, has stated to be requisite for the effectual governance of Ireland. And ardently as Mr. O'CoNNELL may entertain the hope fbr rcpeal, "he admitted that if the English did but justice, they would have a right to call on the Irish people to pause." Our conviction is, that Ireland will be no longer made a political foot-ball, that justice to her will be no longer withheld, that, in an enlarged and philanthropical spirit, all her grievances will be righteously removed, and that then, with its hopes fulfilled, the Repeal Association, like the Anti-Corn law League, will die a natural death. The Augsburgli Gazette publishes a letter from Vienna, dated 26th June, which states that Lieutenant WAG HORN had for some time been zealously tmployed in establishing a line of communication through Germany' between the port of Dwino, on the coast of the Adriatic and the North Sea. The route will be by way of Saltzbourg, but it is doubtful whether the direct com munication between Salt zbourg and Dwino will be by the railway through Styria, or by a new railway through the Tyrol. England would, it is said, prefer the route by Tyrol. Letters from Constantinople state that M. OCSTINOFF, hO, a few :!ears ago was Russian Com cillor of Em busy at the Porte, is about to replace M. DE TITOW as Ambassador at the Court of the SULTAN. Madrid papers to the 30th have been received. They contain accounts from Lisbon of the 24th ult., at which time that city was perfectly tranquil. The organisation of the National Guard was progressing. It was rumoured in Madrid on the 29th that the Portu guese Government had addressed a note to that of Spain complaining 'of the friendly reception given to the two ex-Ministers of Portugal, the CennALs. The reports of the al!eged Miguelite excesses were not credited in Madrid. These rumours, however, had inspired the SI anish Carlists on the Portuguese frontier with hope, and the Captain-General of Galicia had published a bando, declaring that the Government would punish with the utmost severity any attempt of the Carlists to disturb public order. Apprehensions were also enter tained ( f a Carlist outbreak in Catalonia. The Gtmernrnent Lad accepted the resignation, by the Marquis of PENA FLORIDA, of the office of Corregidor of Madrid. Differences between the ex-Corregidor and the Political Chief occasioned this resignation. Prior to his departure from Bayonne, the Infante Don ENRIQUE addressed a letter to M. ISTURITZ and the members of his Cabinet, complaining bitterly of the treatment which he had received from the Spanish Go v, rnment. The Archbishop of BORDEAUX arrived in Madrid on the 29th. Ostensibly the object of his visit is to inspect a French convent„ of which he was the founder. It was suspected, however, that he was charged with a secret negotiation on the subject of the marriage of the QUEEN. There is to be an illumination of Madrid for three nights, in honour of the accession of the POPE. MADRID Bots,t, JUNE 30.—Three per Cents. 33% for cash, 34 paper ; Five per Cents., 20% paper ; Debt without Interest, 6% for cash. Exchange on London, 36%. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all contain articles on the construction of the new English Cabinet, which seems to be regarded with a favourable eye by all parties. The Journal des Dthats attaches great importance to the adhesion of Earl GREY to the new Ministry. " This fact," says our Contem porary, "proves that the differences in the Whig party have been removed, and gives to the new Cabinet much more solidity and chance of durability. Considered in each of its members, the Administration of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is more than equal to all Parliamentary neces sities. It would be difficult to find in so restricted a number so many men of talent." The Constitutionnel expresses its good wishes towards the new English Cabinet, and even the National no longer sees cau'e of offence in the advent of Lord PALMEnSTON to office. It pays, "Neither peac.• nor war, neither god nor evil relations, depend on the existence of such or such a Minister, or the triumph of such or such a party in England. Let Lord PALMERSTON succeed Lord ABERDEEN, or Lord J. RUSSELL Sir R. PEEL, the reci procal dispositions of the two nations, the relations o the two Governments, will not be better or worse for it. Whether Whigs or Tories, the English Ministers are above all things English. They are well or ill-inclined towards us, according as the interest 'of their country demands it." The ordonnance dissolving the Chamber of Deputies was signed by the KING on Monday. The society of Libre Echaryistes has put forth its pro gramme. Its object is to procure the removal of all re strictive and prohibitory duties. It expressly declares that " it excludes all political partisanship ; that it does not place itself at the service of any particular branch o industry, of any class or of any portion of the territory. It embraces the cause of eternal justice; peace, union, and free intercourse, the fraternity of all mankind, and the cause of the general interest, which is, on all points and under all circumstances. identified ssith that of the public consumption." The Duke DE BROGLIE has gone to the north of Europe for the , purpose, it is said, of makimx arrange ments for the reception of a French umba-sailor at the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Moniteur Aigerien of the 20th says, that ABD EL KADER has retired to Figuiz, an oasis in the Sahara of Morocco. It appears that in the chastisement inflicted on the tribe of Msirda, on the 17th, by General CAVAIGNAC, several of the victims wero females ; but this, says the ,lkbar, is inevitable in such melees, as the dress of the females so closely resembles that of the men that a dis tinction cannot be made. Until nearly the close of business on the Paris Bourse on Monday public securities-stocks and shares- eon • tinued to improve. The Three per Cents. rose to 83r. 45c. ; the Five per Cents. to 121 f. 90c. ; Northern Shares to 733 i. Suddenly, and without any obvious cause, for no pretended fall in the London market on the preceding day could be adduced, a violent reaction took place.

The exhibition included a collection of interesting varieties of fruit and plants from China, recently brought over by Mr. Fortune, the Society's collector. An interesting object was a clove tree in good - bloom and perfect fruit, from the gardens of the Duke of Northumberland at Sion-house, bearing this condiment in high perfection, for which the society awarded the Silver Knightian Medal to Mr. Carter, gardener to the Duke.

RETURN OF LORD J. RUSSELL. The defeat of the late Government on the Irish Coercion Bill, and their consequent resignation, having led to the formation of a new ➢linistry by Lord John Russell, yesterd.ly was fixed for the nomination, and, in the absence of all op- position, re-election of the Noble Lord, on his accepting office as First Lord of the Treasury. The Liverymen of London were t.stir at an early hour, and the neighbourhood of the Guildhall presented, therefore, an appearance at once interesting and impressive—interesting from the number of persons assembled, and most impressive, because of the great moral purpose which had called them together. The dis- tinctive features of the day were widely different from any previous election that we can remember: then men looked grave, as if the`• had to struggle fur a great right; now they seemed as if they congratulated each other that that right had been obtained. There were not the usual number of placards to be seen, nor was the Hall adorned with the diver city of colours that had been exhibited heretofore ; Lord John Russell was the "burden" of all the bills, with one solitary exception, one proposing a penny national testimo- nial to Sir Robert Peel, to which were attached the names of Colonel Thompson and Captain Polhill, M.P. At a quarter past eleven Lord John Russell arrived in the Hall, accompanied by the members of his committee, and was enthusiastically greeted by the Liverymen assembled. There were upwards of three thousand persons present in Guildhall when business commenced. The side galleries were filled with ladies. Among the persons on the platform we observed A. Smith, Esq., M.P., A. W. Robarts, Esq., D. Salomons, E-q., S. J. Loyd, Esq., Jamcs Morrison, Esq., M.P., Prevost, Esq, Sir R. B. Phillips, William Hawes, Esq., J. J. Travers, Esq., 11. L. Keeling, Esq., B. Colvin, Esq., S. S. Whitbread, EQq., Sir G. Larpent, Sir E. N. Bux ton, Bart., Alderman Sir J. Duke, Baron L. Rothschild, Alderman Humphery, M.P., Foster, Esq., M.P., J. A. Hankey, Esq., T. A. Hankey, Esq., G. F. Prescott, Esq., J. Pattison, Esq., M.P., Alderman Thomas Wood, and William Wilkinson, Esq. At twelve o'clock precisely the Sheriffs, the Under-Sheriffs, and several of the Aldermen, entered the Hall. The proclamation, the writ, and the oaths of bribery and corruption having been read in the usual form, Mr. Sheriff CHAPI.LN came forward and said—Gentlemen and brother electors, public notice having been given of a writ being issued for a representative for the City of London, in consequence of Lord John Russell's having accepted the office of Prime ➢linister of the empire, I now call on you to fulfil your duties as electors in that gentlemanly and proper manner which has always distinguished the '-citizens o London. 'SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., came forward to propose the re-election of Lord John Russell, and was received with loud and general cheering. He said he felt great satisfaction in coming before them on the present occasion, wile', they had been called together for the purpose of discharging a great and important duty.—(Hear, hear, ) He felt that a solemn duty devolved on them as ea. citizens of a free country, but at the same time he telt. the utmost confidence that that duty would be performed in a swi,factory and dignified manner. Ile should not detai., them at. any great length, as it would be more appropriate and satisfactory that they should hear from the Noble Lord, whom he had the hcnour to propose, an explanation or the circumstances that ha I led him to accept of office, and the views that he entertained on the measures which he thought would prove advantageous to the country. But there was one question to which he would shortly call their attention—a topic of great and paramount importance, with the triumph of which the Noble Lord was intimately idntifie•d. He alluded to the question of free trade. When they last met in that Hall that great principle was in a different position. They then met under very dit ferent feelings and circumstances. The country had then mad: , up its mind upon the question, and was preparing to put forth its utmoit strength for the mortal struggle. But the battle had been fought and won—all they then sought had been achieved, and the triumph was cemplete.—(Cheers.) The question of free trade had passed through the ordeal of public discussion, arid the measure had become the law of the land Where, he would ask, had ever such a momentous and important question received such support from the public opinion, the intelligence, the virtue, and integrity of the country ? (Hear, hear.) Had that measure not been successful he emsidered a severe and discouraging blow would have been struck at the trade and commerce of the country, though then he had such faith in the energy of Englishmen that he would not have despaired, as he believed they would have righted themselves. But it had been otherwise, — success had attended their efforts.—(Loud cheers.)' The'-' system of protection . had. been tried anu found -to be . a great legislative error—,(Hear, hear)—an error the cause incalculable` mischief. Who now did not ",sea - that. and , feel that protection bad been hijtirhiqe?eit.- perience had fairly shown that in every respect it had proved . injurious to the glorious industry of England.—(Cheers. ) The truth of this was now generally admitted, but the battle had been bravely and resolutely fought, and he banner of free trade now floated over both Houses of the Legislature; it bad been sanctioned by their most gracious Sovereign, and it only remained to them to extend its bene ficial influence everywhere.— (Hear.) To them remained the solemn duty to carry out fairly and to the fullest extent this great and salutary measure of free trade. The triumph had been completed, but the fruits remained to be gathered, and it was for them to do justice to the intelligence and energy of those who had been instrumental in settling the question.—(Hear, hear.) High honour was due to these men who had bestowed their time, their skill, and their great industry to work out this result.—;Hear, hear.) They owed much to the firm• nes., and determination of the tifferent classes of society, who had co-operated to realise the triumph of the principle of tree trade, which lie was certain would be fidlowed by great reciprocal benefits, by the union of all classes of the com munity in the bond of friendship, and by the sacred sympathy ,if Christian charity and love.—(Cheers.) Ilonour, he again said, to the great principle which had just triumphed, and to those great moral qualities by which that triumph had been brought about—honour to those who, to establish thi principle, had male great per , onal sacrifices and given unre mitting labour, and especially should they give honour t. the Noble Lord, who, during the ,truggle, had shown all those ; , eat an] ti•aliseeti?ent qualities for which he kol been ever tlis They w; ; ,r. under deep oblig thin to 'him and_.' i ;il h, trtii4t 1;1 Vcerc I!ii, ri;:! trespass so long on their attention, be would be dlepoeed to refer to the exertions of the numerous cite; cry of distin guished men who had contributed to these results; but, on the present occasion, there was one among them who wee peculiarly entitled to their consideration—he meant the Noble Lord who came again before the constituency of Len don to solicit its confidence.—(Lotel cheers.) When lie last appeared on these boards, he had the pleasure of proposing the Noble Lord as a Member for the City of LT , ndon ; and when he did so, it gave him great satisfaction to say that he proposed him as a minister of free trade.—(Cheers.) He would now ask, did the Noble Lord redeem that character? —(Cheers.) Did he discharge the trust then reposed in him? Were the results which he (Mr. Loyd) then predicted would ensue if they would elect the Noble Lord, realised? Let them look at the career of the Noble Lord. In his address to the e lectors of London he told his tale in all simplicity, and in few words. He told them that the principles then triumphant would be by him fully developed He told them that though the results of the last general elecion had dis appointed him, and had not fully carried out the principles which had been asserted at the last election of London, still that perseverance and energy displayed in the advocacy of principles had produced a reaction which now ended in their triumph. The Noble Lord, however, had too much modesty to tell the part he took in these struggles for free trade and though he fell in the struggle, he placed the question in such a position as to secure their ultimate triumph, and to make it impossible fer any man to govern this country hi may other capacity than as all advocate in some measure or other of these principles.—(Cheers.) The condo the Noble Lord put him in mind of a classical ete.e which he read in his younger days, where Ulyssee in order to discover the real character of Achilles, who ap peared before him in female attire, threw down before him a helmet and sword, and at once discovered hid disgetleeee Tliste hero tlien went forth and performed those deeds of valour which displayed his prowess - and his magnanithity. The sword anti the helmet were the greet budgets of the Noble Lord. Tee Noble Lord threw Ahem down before a Tory Minister, and every hour that has elapsed since they were taken up has been marked with an increasing devotion on the part of the Tory Minister to the principles of free trade. Let him now turn to the Noble Lord. How did he act when the measures he proposed had not met with the encouragement and countenance which they had of late received? He gave them a support truly English. (Cheer.".) A support as generous as it was noble because given under the suppres sion of many of those feelings which were common to human nature.—(Cheers.) They were now arrived at those circumstances which he would not further refer to, w hen they found the Noble Lord placed at the head of the councils of his Sovereign, and called upon to develop the great principles which had recently obtained the highest sanction. Let them mark with what clearness and distinctness the Noble Lord rererred in his address to the principles of free trade.—( Hear.) It was the application of that great but simple principle to all its just and legitimate consequences which constituted his noble mission. One point to which he called the atten tion of the electors was the question connected with the go vernment of helmet. It. was not for him to dilate upon that subject. But is there any man who has the heart of a Chas- Lien, or the pM rietic feelings of an Englishman, who does not feel that that is a topic paitiful and distressing in the last degree, and the statesman who proposes to call attention to that subject for the purpose of raising the moral condition of thsi people of that country, and.to bring it into closer ana logy, physically and morally, with that part of the United Kingdom with which it was constitutionally bound, underteek a task of the greatest. difficulty but a task in which he gill have th(i'dnidiar syrnpattirba of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) Next to that, his Noble Friend called attention t. a question still more impor tant—the serious question of national education.—(Cheers.) National education was to the mind what the cultivation of ,he soil was to their physical wants, the necessity of apply- ing to the state of agriculture all the energies and the skill, all the impulse of competition, and the desire of gain. If the f 1 people would but aptly all their energies and principles to the great question of national education, much would be done. At pre , ent they had done nothing; no person could say, that as citizens and members of a free state they had done that duty which they owed to each other, until they had —in spite of every religious obstacle and every political prejudice—insisted upon it that every human being born under the auspices of Great Britain should be an educated being.—(Cheers.) Again, subordinate to that question, his Noble Friend had called the attention of the electors to the sanatory condition of the people.—(Cheers.) The sanatory condition of the people of England, they all knew, was defec tive; there were difficulties belonging to the subject they all knew, but his Noble Friend, Lord J. Russell, declared that it should have the serious attention of the Government of which he was the head.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them with any further remarks upon the subject. He had already trespassed too long upon their attention. He appeared before ' them as an Englishman, with the feelings of an Englishmen ; and when the just, the true, interests of the country, were the subjects of discussion, he felt his heart warmed, and they must, therefore, excuse the length of his remarks.—(Cheers.) He must be permitted, however, to draw their attention to the subject directly be fore them. The Noble Lord had, as he before said, under circum tances of great and momentous, but at the same time under circumstances truly promising and elevating, been called by the voice of Parliament, and with the con currence of our gracious Sovereign, to the highest station which a subject of this empire ever held. By that act he had ceased to be a Member for the City of London, and the City of London had lost one of its Members. They were then assembled to consider to whom they should confide that trust. He needed not to call upon them by any argu ments or by appeals to their moral feelings. But he pro posed to them cordially, unanimously, and triumphantly, to replace in the hands of the Noble Lord that solemn truct, which he had administered with so such ability, and which he will again administer with as much true good faith . to them as he had previously done, with such consistent and beneficial results to the interests of all classes of this great country. With those feelings, and with the most perfect, confidence that he could not address to the constituency of the city of London more arguments upon the subject, he would propose that they should re-elect at once Lord John Russell as the Member for the City of London. S. nir, Esq., in rising, said that he felt great satis faction in seconding the nomination of his Noble Friend Lord John Russell, and also hoped that they would re-elect with entire unanimity his Honoured Friend to represent the City of London in the present Parliament. After the elequent 'address which they had heard, there was not much room for him to add anything upon the subjects which had been alluded to. There were, however, one or two points on which be wished to say a few words—subjects which were of great interest to his mind, and which had always been supported with great talent, energy, and honesty by his Noble Friend ; and he would state this as an additional reason why that Noble Lord should be returned as Member for the City of London. The great cause of 'education had been admirably alluded to by his rriend Mr. S. J. Loyd. When he had stood, year by 2 .--ear, with his Noble Friend, to advocate the claims of the British and Foreign School Society, he could but cejoice that be had such a Nobleman to represent the City of London. He had supported that cause when it wanted popularity. Other causes he had also supported when they wanted popularity with eve energy and power. lie would also allude to one other point, and he knew his feeling.; would be responded to by gentlemen present. He alluded to the abolition of slavery in the British colonies. There was no individual but rejoiced in the results of his treat support in that noble cause. He admitted tbat his support in that great cause alone gave Min great claims on the electors of the City of London and upon all communities of this great country, but espe cially on this Lreat mercantile community. The question of free trade had been spoken to with great effect. He consi dered that every step which had been taken in that great measure had been attended with great advantages to the country. He perfectly agreed with the principle, whether viewed upon the highest consideration, of a beneficent Providence govet fling the world, or upon political or financial considerations.—( Cheers.) He did not wish to see the measure divested of this higher prin ciple—he wished it to be always tempered with that feeling f moral rectitude. This feeling should be especially pre served on . a question to which he would briefly refer—the sugar question. He desired that all his fellow-citizens should have all things good and sweet, cheap and abundant.. But if ;that goodneis' and sweetness were to be produced by the lives'of the poor, the oppressed and the ,wretched,.. was his opinion that the people of England would be willing to forego them.—(Cheers) Upon that principle alone he - de• sired free trade to be . carried out to its fullest extent. But • , ret the 'poor and the . oppressed be protected from hardship, from misery, and destitution.—(Loud cheers.) Upon this point there might be some difference between him and his Noble Friend, but he was quite willing to leave the matter (knowing that it would receive his most serious attention) in the judicious hands of his Noble Friend. He had very little more to say touching his Noble Friend, except on one or two points. He would ask had the great measures undertaken by the late Administration, and which would have results most beneficial to the country—had they been met with a narrow and paltry opposition ?—(Cheers.) lie did not know a man more likely to carry out the great measures of commercial reform than his Hon. Friend Lord John Russell, and he considered that it would be a great loss to the people of England if he did not receive their una nimous support. He had, therefore, great satisfaction of seconding his nomination, and when the day of election should come again, he felt sure they would receive the Noble Lord with equal satisfaction as they bad done upon that day.—(Cheers.) Mr. CHAPLUsi tha n demanded if there was another candi- ‘latP.---(l,ond cries of " No, no.") No other candidate having been named, a ?how of hands was taken, and the Sher& then declared that Lord John Russell bad been duly elected to represent the City of London. The announcement was received with loud and Ling-con tinned cheering, which was again and apin repeated wl - ,el: he Noble Lord made his app,araucc upon The plal , Lord .httiN Russma., when silence was in some degr,, r , stored, s.lo,—Gentlotne:t-0:; Mond ty I tst her Alajesi w:ts graci.atsly ple,s,kl desk, that I ska2l , l kiss ht:r !taw! 4-;,. t,e Tr, .nr,- 1 0 - I,t, Lon have done me honour of electir this ga ~' ~ f i.. of hUllours, while tit ii? l ate w grafi t i;tt same time imcpire me• with awe.—(Bear, .hear.) cannot venture to say that I can adequately discharge duties imposed upon me; but, at all events, I am deter. mined to exert mys:4f to -the utmost of my ability. It looking- back to the mea,urts which I have p-opoFett, tc principles which I have asee. ted, to the votes which I have given, I can sly that I stand here to carry into etlect those inei,sures, to give life to ththe prissekies which 1 have ever ad vocated. Gentlemen, when you did use the honour to invite me to become a candidate for this city, I stated at the first meeting of the electors, that I conceived the principle of levying duties for protection was injudicious and unwise ; and I stated to you that having a great debt, of which we had honestly to discharge the interest, and having great establishments of navies and armies, which it was necessary for this country to maintain, it was right and lawful to impose taxes to discharge those exigencies. But that -taxes which were imposed upon the produce of the land. and of which the income was to go, not into the Ex chequer, but into the pockets of individuals—(Cheers)-- I then . said that these taxes were totally un just, and that they should be put an end te. Such, gentlemen, were the principles which I came forward to support, and which I am happy to congratulate you are now triumphant.—(Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I have• never attempted, nor will I attempt now, to assume to 'mys . c!f, Or to assume to those who have acted with me, all or any of the honour of currying out these• great principles—l will not be . baeliware - sin accordieg it fr,elN - to those.naea_who, headed by 3lr. Charles Villiers, ad vocated. them in the House of Commons—(Hear, hear) b. ie:ought them under the consileristion, and urged the attesnionof pa;..i.nie.n., in a manner th e Lie ansVerable. I will see either refuse that honour which is Most jii•t ly due to those who, headed by Mr. Cobden, and ;nevi/ ed by the soundest philosophy, exhausted their strength of body and the energies of their mind in instructing the people of this country in the great truths which they had made it their business to elucidate.—(Cheers.) Nor, gentle men, will I be churlish in refusing any particle of that ho nour. which is due to Sir Robert Peel for bringing forward his great commercial measure, and for the untiring . energy and ability with which he and his colleagues persevered in carrying it through Pars liament.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not say what is due to those who in 1839 and 1840, and, lastly, in the budget of 1841, endeavoured to embody these principles in an Act of Parliament. I will leave it for others to recount their exertions, and to say what proportion of the honour is due to them, but there is one thing which I cannot omit to say, and that is, that no efforts of statesmen in Parliament, no efforts of orators at meetings of the people, no exertions made in the Houses of Parliament, would have been succecsful, had it not been that the intelligence of the great hotly of the people of this country bad finally decided the conflict.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I recollect what was passieg six months and a year ago, the great meetings that were held, the fervid speeches that were made the excitement that prevailed, .the invectives that were Used—when I remember, too, how quietly that great measure • of a repeal of the corn-laws has been discussed in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and by a majority of these two bodies has been carried into a law—l cannot but admire that which has been supposed by some to be rather a superstition than an wont ained truth, namely, the simplicity and admirable working of the English Constitution.—. (Cheers.) And, gentlemen, when I observe all that fervour, it seems to use to resemble that which any one may seek the great iron-works of this country, where you see large cauldrons full of melted iron, apparently enoughtolestioy— to set on fire the whole bitilding; hut - 704:4)5 , the.

TRIUMPH Or FREE TRADE RE-ELECTION LORD JOHN RUSSELL. LONDON HAS DONE ITS DUTY ! London has proved itself worthy of being the metropolis of this great empire. It has accorded nobly with the lofty and benign spirit of the age—with that spirit of freedom and liberality which has so recently destroyed the bulwarks of monopoly. London has this day elected as its representative the Prime Minister of Great Britain ; the constituents of this gigantic city have shown themselves ready to co-operate in the struggle for freedom—not only in commerce, but in all our social relations—now engaging the ener gies and abilities of our wisest statesman. It is something altogether without precedent, and hence the more in accordance with these me morable times, to behold the First Minister of this country on the hustings of the capital of England, calling upon the citizen-electors to return him to the British Parliament as their representative. It is something, we repeat it, peculiarly worthy of this re markable juncture in the legislative system, and aware of this fact, and conscious that the eyes of their countrymen were concentrated upon their behaviour under these circumstances, the enfranchised inhabitants of our good city have responded to the call of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the manner which was alone suitable to the occasion. The Prime Minister of England has been returned, not by a majority, but by an unanimity, as the repre sentative of the free electors of London in the English House of Commons. Much, however, as we are rejoiced at this circumstance, regarding it as a propitious augury of the new Ad ministration, we cannot induce ourselves to regard it as anything more than the commencement of a series of similar triumphs in the various boroughs vacated by the change of Ministry. It is a glorious commencement without question, but no less a commencement. We feel assured the Premier's return as the Member for the City of London, and from the jubilation of which the walls of Guild hall have scarcely ceased vibrating, is little less than the ovation of one of the victors of the free-trade conquest. It cannot be forgotten that in the Quixotic crusade against Sir ROBERT'S last glorious measure, the Protectionist party insisted that the population of England regarded that question only with a feeling of indifference and apathy. Here is the first indication of the popular sentiments in regard to that wonderful achiev ment ; and what is the nature of that indi cation ? Is the triumphant return of the Free trade Premier by the citizens of the English metro polis a specimen of popular apathy, forsooth? It is, on the contrary, the most emphatic acquiescence which a single constituency could have pronounced in those measures which the manifesto of Lord JOHN RUSSELL towards the close of 1845 tended so materially to assure. Let the other boroughs throughout the kingdom emulate the behaviour of the London electors, let them prove themselves suitable respondents to the centre of the social and commercial system of these islands. The first incident in the RUSSELL Adminis tration has been the return of the Prime Minister as the representative of the greatest city in the world. This, we take it, is something more than auspicious—it is the first of a procession of Ministerial triumphs. THE SUGAR QUESTION. We understand that the question of the Sugar Duties will be settled without delay. The present duty of fourteen shillings per cwt. on home-grown will be reduced to ten shillings, and the duty on foreign from 235. 6d. to 155., which rates will con• tinue until 1849, when the differential dut3 of ss. on foreign and slave will be abolished, and one oni form duty will be charged hereafter on all sugars whatever, without distinction as to the place of their growth. This augurs well! MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) At the Privy Council appointed to be held at half past two o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Pa lace, the principal Officers of State of the Queen's Household, Lords LIVERPOOL, DELAWARR, and JER SEY, will resign their offices of Lord Steward, Lord Chamberlain, and Master of the Horse, and will, it is expected, be replaced by Lords FonTEscuz and SPENCER, and the Duke of NORFOLK. The Vice-Chamberlain, Lord ERNEST BRUCE, and the Controller of the Household, Colonel DAWSON DAMER, are also expected to resign their respective offices this day, the latter to be succeeded by Lord MARCUS HILL. The new Ministerial arrangements being com pleted, her MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT are expected to take their departure to-morrow (Thursday) from town, on their return to Osborne House, Isle of Wight. In gratitude to that illustrious Association which has so recently achieved fur us the emancipation of commerce from all unnatural imposts, and in remem brance of the moral valour, the integrity, the untiring zeal, and the abilities displayed during seven suc cessive years, We feel impelled to respond in a few simple but earnest sentences to the "Farewell Ad dress" from the League, already published in our columns. By a kind of prescriptive right, all societies are accustomed, on their dissolution, to indulge them selves by the expression of considerable self-com placency and self-gratulation. The effect produced by this custom varies of course with the different cha racters of the different "bodies corporate" who thus pronounce over themselves their own funereal pane gyric : some elicit our merriment by the disproportion of their services and of their eulogiums ; others, on the contrary, compel us to coincide in their laudatory sentiments by the extreme utility of their career— their words are assented to because their deeds have been so conspicuously worthy of commendation. Precisely of the latter class was that giOntic body which with one weapon alone, that of reason, environed by one prestige alone, that of unanimity, and defended by one safeguard alone, that of peace fulness, has fought the good fight of the people and gained a victory over the minds and avintheg donehe artsso of their most obdurate antagonists. Having much, and having done it moreover so admirably, it becomes only a source of the sincerest satisfaction to discover in the " Farewell Ad dress" of the organ of that association the conscious ness cf its own pacific and beneficent qualities. What squeamish modesty of phrase ought, indeed, to be rationally expected from a huge society like the League, when it is remembered that its triumph is in truth " not of force, but of reason ; not of ambition, but of benevolence ; not of a party, but of the United Empire ; and, we might add, of the universal humanity ?" It is only consistent, however, to the spirit which has through out its memorable course presided over its councils, in accompanying its I , lnguage of jubilation at the achievement of free trade with nothing in the slight est degrr , 3apable of arousing the animosity, of embittevizi the discomfiture, or of agitating the sensitiveness of the defeated faction. A very genial t'~.. - - skill of those who have charge of it, carried hltd determined channels, moved into its destined receptacletto, then carried about froin place to places; moving rapidly along and yet injuring nothing—and, finallj.. its object is acconr plished, and it is converted into wheels in a iiitsr7 or plough' shares in a field.—(Cheers.) Thus all the full:* al l thl - 1 : • heat, all that was apparently dangerous, passes into the facturing districts, and becomes finally the means of manna:facture and agriculture, for spreading comfort and ple nt r throughout the length and breadth Of the land:" (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, Ide trust that this principle will be still carried on in the council° over which I shall have the honour to preside, and carried 0% safely and beneficially for the community.—(Hear, hear.) I , will not touch upon that subject upon which my friend, gr'• Gurney, is supposed to have addressed you. Upon that sub' ject I may have shortly to address the House of Comm o s o ( but Ido say as a principle—a general principle—that while it may be necessary to keep up certain duties for 01 purposes of revenue, which indirectly have the effect et protection, that we ought to do away with that duty wbide solely and entirely include protection.— (Hear, heir.) Tha t is, we ought to impose our taxes for the benefit of -all the community, and not for the advantage of one class.—(l l e* e " hear.) Gentlemen, I do trust that the principle will ore long be adopted by other nations of the world. There. are two especially, with whom we have the greatest relations, which I will now mention, and one is our immediate. neighbour. The kingdom of France ruled over by a Pritie° the most enlightened, who has contributed by his sagacity t° preserve the peace of Europe.—(Hear.) I trust he Mai find that his Chamber will concur with him in re" •:• nouncing the errors of the commercial Systolat: which now prevails in that country.—(Hear, hear") • The other country to which I shall allude is the United States of America, from which we have received such gra' tifying intelligence.—(Hear, hear.) And I do rejoice tha t ' while such angry feelings were at one time expressed in that country, that the wisdom of:the Senate of thetatited State, has overruled all those angry sentiments, and has decided favour of peace between them and us, which I trust tok!,.. endure for ages.—(Cheers.) And I do trust that the prin . ' ciples of commercial freedom will soon prevail, and that Of intercourse with them may tend to the happiness of both d: those nations —(Cheers.)
