SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. This week will, in a great measure decide the fate of the Peel-Wellington Ministry. The nomination for the city of London takes place this day, and the polling corn unences on Tuesday. It gives us the greatest satisfaction to be able to state that the canvas hitherto has fully re alized the most sanguine expectations of the friends of Re form. A morning contemporary of Saturday —a leading organ of the Tories—attributed the success of the Liberal Candidates to the want of energy and skill of those who con , Tliuct the canvas on the part of their opponents. No skill could gain over the Liberal Constituency of the City of London to vote for partisans of the present Administra tion ; for the hearts of the electors are with Messrs. Wood Grote, Crawford, and Pattison. It may serve a purpose to attribute the evidence of the unpopularity of Ministers in the City of London, which will soon be afforded at the poll, to unskilful canvassing ; but the real cause will not for a - moment be mistaken by the country. The constituency of London share the feelings of the rest of the people of Eng land with respect to the present Ministry ; they know that they are not to be trusted ; that they took the places of the Whigs not to promote Reform, but to defeat it. In the language of the address of the Chairman of the United Committee to the City Electors— " Will the great questions of civil and religious liberty be safe in their hands? Can the sincere Churchman believe that such men will effect those necessary reforms now universally admitted to be essential to the safety of the Establishment? Can the Protestant Dissenter believe that by these men his grievances will be redressed or his just claims admitted? Will any rights, civil or religious, be safe in their hands ? Can the advocate of negro emancipation trust to them for the safe, the peaceable, and the effectual completion of that great measure ? Can the friend of Corporation Reform trust to them the cor rection of the abuses of that municipal system which they have ever used for their own party purposes? * s • Can the people of England trust in a party whose confidence they have never possessed but to abuse it—who have so frequently plunged the country into bloody and expensive wars against the freedom of other nations—who at heme have supported abuses, opposed reforms, and who now feel and avow that they can only ash for the confidence of the people by disclaiming all their past opinions, and repudiating all their past prin ciples ?" In the other great commercial and manufacturing capital of the country, Manchester, the nomination takes place on Wednesday. On Saturday last, Mr. Poulett Thomson made his first public appearance on 'Change, where all the wealthiest merchants were assembled, and ad dressed a crowded audience in the large room. A report of his speech, which was excellent, and which was received in the most flattering manner, will be found under the proper head. In noticing the assertia,n, that the people were tired of political exeitemer.t—that qniet and repose was what they sought--he observed, that prior to the event of November, there never was greater quiet, greater contentment or pros perity, than existed generally throughout the country. di When, indeed, I look at this assembly (he added), and consider what are your occupations, and what your interests, and when I take them as a sample of those of the comm.:- nity, I would ask, what can any man want but quiet, order, and security ? and I would further say, that c c.iet, order, and security were possessed by the people of this country in an unexampled degree." But the ezivent to power of the present Ministers has produced al; excitement from one end of the country to the other ; for no one acquainted with the character of the individuals composing the Mi nistry, can suppose that if they prove true to their principles (arid Sir Robert Peel appealed to their past conduc'c. as our security for the future), they will not endeavour co arrest the course of improvement, perhaps to destroy , ;ne Reform Bill itself. There cannot be peace ;„. quiet in the country so long as the Ultra Tories possess powe.r. A resolute determination to oppose, them vigo roealy may extort a few hypocritical prof;ssions of a desire to concede reform ; but if the people were to resign them selves to their fate, these insane men, who are constantly dreaming of re-action, would, instantly be tempted to make rash experiments on the patience of the nation ; and thus, the very course lintseed by the well-disposed, to preserve order, might only lead more surely to confusion ; for the spirit of the people of this country would never allow them tamely, t o su b m it t o t h e p ran k s o f a set o f bli n d andinfurir.ced Tories, eager to re-possess themselves of the as,,,endancy which they lost for ever in 1832. The dissolution of Parliament is a virtual declara- Cott of Anti- Reform. No person, indeed, could ever sup pose that the late Ministry were dismissed because they were Anti-Reformers ; but there are Machiavelians among us, who would have us believe, that though the late Ministers were dismissed because they were disposed to carry reform in Church and State too far, yet their succes sors, havint , made the di sco v e ry that th e y can on l y re t a i n office by the ' adoption of liberal principles, will be ready to abuse the confidence of their Sovereign, and to concede more extensive measures of Reform than their predecessors ever contemplated. It is but justice to Ministers to admit that they have never held language like this themselves, ane, it is certain that they are not responsible for all the pledges th:t the Times, to varnish over its desertion of the popular cause, may choose to give on their behalf. " Their attachments and interests (as is admirably observed by the Examiner) bind them to tho maintenance of every abuse. They are the veterans of misrule, and cannot but have the strongest disposition, the most eager desire to return to the system of malversation and oppression which are their political inlaeritance, and which they perpetually lauded as working -well in practice.'" Our Sunday contemporary justly observes that public men always appear to the best advantage in opposition ; that they then make part:de of their noblest motives, their most generous opinions, their justest principles ; and ap plyins; that test to Ministers, our contemporary shrewdly obar,rves— " Let, then, tlte electors of the United Kingdom recall to mind the conduct of the Tories in opposition, and judge from it what is likely to be their conduct in a Ministry. Is there a single popular trait to be discovered ; is there a single popular sentiment to be quoted ; is there a single just and gracious vote to be recorded ? If then, according to all experience, we saw them to the best advantage in opposition, what are we to expect from them in power ? The in side, in these cases, is, we all know, fouler than the out side ; and the Tory out side wore the Government features of misrule—tyranny and mal versation were the marked expressions. They did not even condescend to play the hypocrite. They refused the common Lomage of vice to virtue. Their contempt of the people was so profound, that they never even vouchsafed a popular pro fession. The opposition—according to Tierney's description, doubtly apt in this instance -,.his Majesty's opposition, to every measure of justice and improvement was frank and open, till it became his Majesty's Government, when, for the first time, it assumed a mask, because it was idle to sup pose that a people would submit to the government of men who were avowedly hostile to all they desired. The mask, however, can deceive no one. It was put on too abruptly to impose upon the most credulous. Had the Tories played the part of patriots in opposition, there would have been some little colour for the pretences in the Peel manifesto ; but their open hostility to Reform in every shape, and their obstinate championship of all odious abuses, up to the very hour of their summons to the King's councils, baffled the art of the great master of deceit." We may now safely assume, that no one really believes that the present Ministry have the slightest wish to benefit the people, by the remedy of abuses and the amelioration of our institutions ; and that whoever pretends that they - have any such wish, and claims for them a fair trial, is himself a hypocrite. The people know what to think of Ministers, and of all those who stand up for them. A Correspondent, who has had, he says, extensive experience in election matters, urges the great importance of going to the poll with as little delay as possible. Many electors are not aware of tt•,, change in the period effected by the Reform Bill . 2 ,a are apt to delay polling till it is too late. We tr u t, t h e liberal electors in the metropolis and throughout tl-,, oontry will bear in mind that it is of the utmost impr.rtance they should poll as early as possible. The hire", bands of the Tories require no exhortation on this sul.;ject ; they must work for their hire. But liberal voter', are apt to delay to the last the exercise of this importan t duty. Th at w hi c h can be done to-day ought not to b e left till to-morrow. With the best intentions in the, world, an elector who de lays voting to the last may b:e, through various accidents, prevented from giving effer"‘ to them. We repeat then, let all liberal electors hastf., n to the poll. The success of the good cause will depr a d very much on the promptitude of the voters.—Moming Chronicle. We cannot tall too earnestly upon the Conservative electors of tb', metropolitan districts to exert thamselves at the present, moment to the utmost of their power. And we call upor, them the more earnestly because we hear of an appare:at apathy in some quarters where better things might have been expected, which is altogether unaccount aka. For the general result of the elections throughout great Britain and Ireland there is, we believe, no cause whatever of apprehension. And what a disgrace it will be to the metropolis if it should appear to be outstripped by the provinces in zeal and energy in the cause of the consti tution. By the end of this week all the metropolitan elec tions will have been concluded ; and, although it cannot be said that in every district the Conservative electors have been offered an opportunity of manifesting their zeal and loyalty in the good cause, there are Conservative candidates— candidates in every respect unobjectionable—in the field in by far the greater number. Lyall, Ward, and Wilson, in the city of London, are from station in society and perso nal character, leaving politics out of the question, far more eligible Representatives of the greatest commercial city in the world than their four Radical competitors. Among the City Co • s supineness will therefore be without an eacus i 'ef Westminster has the offer of Sir Tho , - Solo distinguished himself as a faith ful an 'cit:-orth tate, haying wielded its pow er , in a „lotiftn 84 manner as to deserve and ob tain t ditd _affeoiiox of the inhabitants of every -4; I.OPP i .1 ~R, . ~t class, and whose reverence for the British Constitution, and determination to defend and maintain it are be yond doubt. And Sir Thomas Cochrane is opposed by Sir Francis Burdett, who has been dreaming and declaim ing about political principles during a long life, and is at last likely to leave the world in doubt what his political principles are, and whether he ever had any ; and Captain De Lacy Evans, who, as we showed on Saturday, is all things to all men—an accomplished courtier at St. James's, a coarse Radical in Soho—who is a companion equally agreeable at the pot-house and the club—laughing at the club at the frequenters of the pot-house, and at the pot-house denouncing the frequenters of the club. The men of pro perty, intelligence, and respectability resident in Westmin ster will be unpardonable if they are tardy or luke warm ; for it is quite certain that by zeal and activity they may obtain a splendid triumph for the independ ence and welfare of their own city, and of the country at large. Finsbury has Mr. Sergeant Spankie, Lambeth Mr Alderman Farebrother, the Tower Hamlets Captain Bur ton, Greenwich Mr. W. Attwood, each a better man in all respects than any competitor by whom he is opposed. Nothing more is required to ensure success in every one of these important districts than that the Conservative inha bitants should use strenuous exertion, put out their whole strength without timidity or reserve, and fight the battle as men who are conscious that they are fighting to ward off the appalling calamity of a democratic revolution. In the borough of Southwark, and, what is still more strange, in the wealthy and respectable borough of Pilarylebone, no Conservative candidates have yet come forward. Local misunderstandings, of which we know nothing, may ex plain—although they cannot justify—this scandalous in difference to the public cause. Perhaps even yet it may not be too late for a Conservative cand:date if he were to rush boldly into the field. In Marylebone at least it is all but certain that one of the right sort would be suc cessful. The inhabitants are really anxious to cast off the disgrace of being misrepresented as they have been in the late Parliament. It is incumbent upon the respectable in habitants of each of the respectable boroughs to exercise the fair and legitimate influence they possess, to secure for the Conservative candidates the votes of their servants and tradesmen, so far as they can do so without becoming what genuine Conservatives never can become, the tyrants of their inferiors. We do not tell them to discharge their baker if the latter happen to have a political bias different to their own. Let them leave such arbitrary proceedings to men like the Liberal candidate for the city of London. the Governor of the Bank, who turned away his baksa. in Marylebone because the unfortunate baker is a Conservative, and does not disguise it, probably thinki.-.:,g this a conve nient mode of communicating to that "very numerous body, the Bank clerks, an intelligible hint how imprudent it would be in them to show then Ives Conservatives in the City. But without resortiut: to the extreme measure adopted by Mr. Pattison :Deli may, without any arrogant assertion of authority, ts7.nvass their tradesmen and servants for votes in favour el; the candidate whom they think most likely in Parliament to promote the welfare and peace of the country. surely when the bakers in Marylobone are deprived of custom by the leaders of the Destructive party, in order indirtctly to influence the election for the city of London, the Conservatives in none of the London electoral districts need be so excessively squeamish as to refrain from can : . vassing for votes among their tradesmen and depe:,; en t s i n favour of their own holy and righteous c:,, ge. _m- orn i ng Post. Lord John Russell, in. ant course of a recent address to his constituents, ',:ne freeholders of South Devon, alluding to what Edward Codrington described as the " uncere 7.onious" dismissal of the late Ministry, is represented to have said, that " whether it was or was not a prudent or politic measure, it was kind and considerate on the part of his Majesty to announce it to Lord Melbourne at once. the King had allowed Lord Melbourne to fill up the vacancy which had occurred on the demise of Earl Spencer, and then dismissed him, it would not have been kind and considerate." Whether Lord John Russell's late colleagues will one and all give him credit for the candour and open ness exhibited in this avowal, we cannot undertake to de termine. To us it appears by far the most honest and rational view of the matter which has hitherto emanated from any member of the late Government, not excepting even Lord Melbourne himself ; and becomes the more valuable when contrasted with the tirades about treachery aid duplicity, in which the organs of that Ministry have from first to last been permitted to indulge ; we say permitted, for there are evident symptoms that the same surveillance which directed the measures of the Whig Press, while its patrons were in office, follows it while those patrons are in retreat. And what does this admission on the part of the late Pay master of the Forces amount to, but an implied acquiescence in the view which we have all along taken of the subject— viz., that the dissolution of the Melbourne Cabinet had, from internal cause, become inevitable, and that the King, seeing this, adopted the more straightforward, manly course, of putting an end to it at once, than that of waiting till it should fall to pieces of its own accord ? It is not a little material that this view of the matter should be kept steadily in sight by the numerous persons, who, judging for themselves, are about to give their votes at the forthcoming elections. The objects of the two great parties engaged in those elections may fairly be defined to be —one, that of per sons desirous of forcing back the late Administration upon the King—the other, of those who are desirous of main taining the new Ministers in office, by at least giving them the " fair trial" they ask for. We are not ignorant that there is a third party (happily far less i!tin,•jr tent in weight and numbers) who look to objects ?afferent to either of these, and whose apt name of Destructives " amply describe their purpose. To those who, succeeding in rescuing their minds from the excitement which every where meets them, can look calmly and dispassionately at this state of things, we can hardly conceive what choice is left them on this importont occasion. In supporting what are called the Conservative candidates, they are uphold ing the King in the lawful and unavoidable exercise of his undoubted prerogative. Let them not be alarmed or de , ceived by any attempts to make them believe that Conser vatism is on this occasion analogous to anti-reform. That there may be and are, among the adherents of the pre sent Ministers, if not perhaps among the Ministers them selves, some few inveterate ultra-Tories, who have no great affection for reform, we do not deny. But even if they had the inclination, they are at any rate destitute of the means either of defeating past reform, or preventing that which is to come. The King himself is a reformer—has proved himself the most steady, honest reformer in his do minions. His new Minister has announced himself a re former, in terms sufficiently explicit to satisfy every reaso nable expectation. Surely then the alternatives are un worthy of consideration ; and the man's vote at any of the elections must be either wilfully misapplied, or care lessly thrown away, who gives it to a candidate who would either resuscitate and force back into office an Administra tion which died of imbecility, or would place in the coun sels of the King of England those whose object it is to over throw both the throne and the altar.—Morning Herald. It has been said more than once of the Conservati , :i ) Ministers, that if they now go further in the paths Df Re form than it was to be inferred from their ha, an Oppo sition they were inclined to do, tl7- ey - merit the foul name of " renegadoes," and the fierce and deadly opposition of all honest men. We have alb:- da d y exposed the factious wicked ness of such langua;,, as being that of partisans who have no feeling for ..:ne good of the country about them, and no anxiety 1 3,...a for the return of certain individuals to offis,. 1- he, natural promoters of such an outcry are—si. The ( - Acted Whigs themselves and their dependents. 2. The ultra-Radicals, who know very well that the restoration of a Whig Cabinet, unstrengthened by Conservatives, would be the means of at once expediting their own seizure of the Government, and the consequent and inevitable overthrow of our monarchical constitution. But if the Conservatives be " resiegadoes" for proceed ing with reforms which the Reform Bill itself, the new corner-stone of the Constitution, has rendered hence forth unavoidable, and forced by a moral necessity upon whoever may be Ministers, what must we call those Whigs who now plunge into measures which while in office they repudiated and 'abhorred, and who coalesce with revolu tionists whom they before hated and resisted, from no possible motive but the hope that, through such a foul combination, they may regain possession of Downing street ? Are they (the Whigs) who thus shift their ground, and sell their consistency, and betray their gross and corrupt selfishness, and record their desperate indiffer ence to all else but office—are they less " renegadoes" than they charge the Conservatives with being, or less apostates" from the principles which they formerly avowed ? An " apostate" is he who changes his prin ciples from a mercenary or vicious motive. Then, against which of two persons or parties can such a charge be most truly and fairly levelled against him who from a Conservative becomes a Reformer, because he finds his old views of Government are no longer appli cable to the existing state of society—or him who from a reformer of the State becomes its destroyer, for the sake of having a small and transitory per centage, as joint agent with anarchists in the work of revolution ? The latter is the exact character and position of those Whigs who now set up as partners with the Destructives, from whom they accept as a bribe what merchants term " commission," for engaging in measures which while Ministers they con demned, but to which they have become proselytes in the hope of resuming office under revolutionary patronage. Now we ask the people of England will they be such idiots as to incur the risk of what certain evils the ultra-Radicals, when in power, may bring upon the country, for the sake of what precarious benefits the Whigs, under such Radical tuition, may in the masquerade dress of Ministers besto w ? If the Whigs have been so vitiated since their dia• missal from office, as to share the schemes of the Destrsse lives for separating Church and State—for extending,. elective franchise, so that it shall embrace the dregs of the populace—and for shortening the duration of Parliaments, so as to make the recurrence of elections as frequent as that of the autumnal crops—it is for the people to consider calmly, whether they are satisfied to have such men for Ministers. If, on the other hand, the Whigs be consistent with their own professions during the Grey and Melbourne Governments—if they be still content with corrective re forms, for improving the efficiency of our institutions, instead of seeking organic changes, of which the result would be, to supersede those institutions by others of a different tendency—cui bono for the welfare of the people, contra distinguished from mere factious views, would it be , to disturb the existing Administration, without at least ascertaining by experience how far they may or may not be disposed to grant reform measures as ample as any which the Whigs before their retreat had encouraged us to hope for ? With regard to the declarations of certain candi dates, some of whom, we grieve to say, will be proposed this morning for the city of London, that they will oppose the present Ministers from the first day of the session, without waiting for their measures, and without reference to them, it betokens the worst extremity of factious violence and fury. It is the more remarkable, because the very individuals who have so blindly pledged themselves against the Conservatives were noted in the last Parliament for their frequent and in temperate attacks upon the Whigs, for voting against the Whig measures, and for originating measures of their own which the Whigs could not accede to. We are not unreasonable, therefore, in suggesting that Radical politicians of this'stamp can have no desire to see the Go vernment in the hands of the Whigs, but that they reckon on a nominal transfer of the Ministry to their hands, as a stepping-atone or ladder by means of which it may be re transferred to those of the Radical junta. The country, we say, ought to be preparedfor such machinations. The country ought to know that if the Whigs be reinstated in office through their alliance with the Radicals, they must hold it subject to Radical supremacy and dictation, and from this dilemma there is no escape, but by waiting first to see what Sir Robert Peel may offer. From the City we lamer+, ci,7 that the latest intelligence is in no degre6! more pro rdsing "or the anti-Radical cause than ' - .prat we stated in Ssturday's leading article. Tile'7lperiority of organization, activity, energy, and ".ambers, will, unless happily we have been a"::;erved, turn out in favour of that party, of 7: l .lreb, whatever its real chiefs and sup- Porte 7, may be, the representatives at least have shown a strong radical leaven. It has been asserted that Mr. Lewis Loyd, the banker, Mr. Gurney, the rich and re spectable Quaker, and Mr. Roberts, the surviving partner of Sir William Curtis, and nephew of the late Mr. Tier ney, will propose three of the anti-Conservative candidates. Oi course, no rational man would think of classing men of vast fortune and station in the commercial world, like the above gentlemen, among the number of deliberate Destructives." They have too much to preserve by the support of good government, and too much to sacrifice under the reign of disorder and confusion, to bs, while in their sober senses, favourers of sny movement, direct or indirect towards the overthrow of the State or its esta blishments. But what they are incapable of designing they may help inadvertently to bring about. They may not yet I :.eve turned their thoughts to the aim or tendency of some of the speculations which are countenanced and pushed forward by the candidates they recommend to their fallow-citizens. They may not see in the ballot a mask for hypocrisy and knavery, nor anticipate an assault upon funded property from a wholesale spoliation of the church. Yet the carelessness and short-sightedness of those rich men do not render the dangers to which they are insensible not one jot less imminent or less real. Their duty as well as interest would be to curb the onward movement of revolu tionary violence, not to throw the reins on a wild horse's nsek, and let him hurry with his rider to destruction. If tl:e city effort on this occasion should unfortunately fail, an event of which we know not the degree of p-obability, but by which it would be absurd in the Conservatives to be taken unprepared, as if it were quite impossible, we shall deeply and conscientiously lament the failure, as being anothor barrier in the way of confusion broken down. We then must look to the supe rior steadiness and prudence of the country constituencies to repair the error of their more multitudinous brethren in the capital, and trust that if the language of his Majesty's advisers shall, at the opening of the new Parliament, be frankly declaratory of a political syttem congenial to the spirit of the Reform Bill—namely, one which shall have the well-being of the whole people of the United Kingdom for its object—no factious, no vindictive, no subversive spirit of mean jealousy, of sordid rapacity, or of " destruc tive" madness, may taint the proceedings of the majority of Englishmen, however it may actuate sonic of the discarded Whigs, and not a few of the fierce clique of revolutionary jobbers.—Times. GENERAL ELECTION. THE METROPOLIS. CITY. On Saturday the City was all bus•le an-I activity, in conse cuence of the approaching elect:on. The friends of Cusses of candidates were in the field ; and th° 'exertions of the friends on each side to secure votes. P ..ceeded almost every thing of the kind ever witnessed on any former occasion. The result has been most r /-- ,ering to the cause of reform. If the electors only true to their promises, o f w hi c h there can . be nQ ‘ l ', - uot, the four reform candidates will be returned by a l.umphant majority. Towards the latter end of the day the Tories saw that the game was all up with them t they conse quently became depressed in spirits, and in the afternoon were comparatively relaxed in their exertions. The Reformers, on the other hand, were all enthusiasm together ; everywhere the canvassers met with the mcst gratifying reception. The Reformers had been quietly at work all the week, and the Tories, though usually excellent tacticians, consequentlyfound themselves out-manoeuvred in this instance. The exertions of the canvassers in the reform interest have been above all praise, and they will doubtless receive the cordial and lasting gratitude of their countrymen for the glorious example which, by their efforts, the City of London will exhibit to every town in the country on Wednesday and Thursday next. Who can doubt that that example will be followed, in the return of real Reformers from all popular constituencies of the United King dom? It is be:ievcd tint the number of veers for the ensuing elec tion for the City will be 12,000. The position of the Tory candidates on the poll may be inferred with toltrablO titcuracy from the fact, that notwithstanding all the hawking and solicit ing which were resorted to for the purpose, the number of sig natures to the requisition to Mr. Ward is under 2,000, and the number would be still further reduced, were those persons' struck out who have no votes. The neighbourhood of Guildhall VfittO crowded with persons attracted attracted to the place by the prepatations making for the im pending election. The polli ng p l aces w i th i n G u ildh a ll are now being erected with gre a t act i v i ty. T h,e wails building are all covered oy;',e with ;Atte Phgting bills, from both the Reformers. and Tories ; and between their unusually large lettert and 'le various colours of the paper, the building has rather t singular appearance. One of the bills in the Reform Interest runs thus—" Household voters should never f - _, - ;•get that they owe their franehise to the &for mere ; and they will, it is hoped, never disgrace themselves by voting for Tories, who strenuously opposed their chinas td thb right of . voting." Another is as f o ll ows :=1" of the City Iby one united and determined eflbft, triumphantly return the four Reformers, Woody_ (IMO, Crawford, and Pattison. Reject the three tori e t, Ward, Wilson, and Lyall. Reformers of the City noble triumph awaits you." A third is headed— " wt.: nave the Whigs done for the people ?" The ques tion is answered by an entitheration of various reductions of I taxation, and retrenchment in the expenditure of the country, which have been effected by the Whigs, and by a reference to the various popular measures they passed. Among these are mentioned the abolition of slavery j the doing away with the East India Company's monopoly; the opening the trade to China ; the beneficial alteration made in the Charter of the Bank of England; the reforms in our Law Courts, &c. The Tory hand-bills are less varied ; they chiefly counsel the elec t ,rs to vote for Ward, Wilson, and Lyall. The City bill s.ickers have reaped a rich harvest. They were constantly employed from breakfast-time till a late hour in the evening. Mr. Pattison, the Bank of England Director, and the new ciudidate for the City of London, is a plain-looking man, ap parently about sixty years of age. His manners and appear ance arc very much like those of a respectable farmer. He seems full of good nature. He appears to possess a sound judgment, but is no great spe a kers His polit ical principles, we understand, are much more liberal than would appear from his printed address, though it was considered decidedly liberal. There is every appearance of honesty and straight forwardness about him. The following circumstance is highly to his credit. It is well known that from the nature of the high situation which Mr. Pattison holds as Governor, he possesses great in fluence over the votes of the various clerks in that establish mmit who possess the franchise ; but that gentleman, highly to his credit, a day or two since made it his business personally to communicate to the several parties holding situations in the Bank, that at the ensuing election they were at perfect liberty to exercise the right of voting, without the least fear of his feeling offended should they vote against him. He hoped, he said, that every one would vote according to the dictates of his own judgment, and leave entirely out of the question that the Governor of the Bank of England was one of the candidates. On Saturday evening a most numerous and respectable meeting of the friends of the four Reform candidates for the city residing in the Borough, was held in the Three Tuns, Margaret-hill—Mr. Benjamin Wood, late candidate for the borough of Southwark, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN having opened the meeting. Mr. J. ECUs moved the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the present state of the country was such as to re quire that the people of this country should return to Parlia ment such men as would carry into effect the principles of the Reform Bill. M. Ellis spcke at some length, and with m uch effect. Mr. J. HOWE seconded the reso:ution. We muss either bVe a thorough reform, er sir .k again into that mass of corrup . - '.on in which we had so long been. It was carried urotni rnously. Mr. BRAND moved the seccnd resolution, which was to thy' effect that 04e melting alit Lipp every eiertio to secure the electit.n of the four Reform candidates, Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Pattison, in so triumphant a manner as will evince the determination of the citizens of London to support every real reform in Church and State. Mr. Alderman Woob rose ;Mad loud cheering. He felt himself quite at home.—( A laugh.) He was surrounded by many of his old friends. He had now, for many years, had the honour of representing the city of London in Parliament. But he could assure them, that never did he meet with such a cordial reception in any previous canvas as he had within the last few days.—( Loud cheers.) The enthusiasm manifested in favour of Reform was gratifying in the extreme. He and his friends were perfectly sure of a triumphant return. He had heard it stated—and be was assured it was a fact, though he could scarcely credit it—that if, on the present occasion, the electors returned to Parliament a larger proportion of Re formers, it was determined again to dissolve the Parliament instanter. If this should be the fact, the order must be given by one acquainted with marching orders.—( Laughter.) He thanked them sincerely for all past kindnesses. Mr. GROTE, like his colleague, felt himself at home in ad dressing Reformers.—( Cheers.) He was glad to find that the people of England were the same now as they were four years ago. This was the greatest city in the world, and its representatives ought to be the first in the ranks of those who arc for reforming and purifying the State from all abuses.— ( Loud cheers.) He cordially thanked them for the kindness they had shown him ; and, if again returned to Parliament, he trusted he should be always found in the foremost rank of Re formers.—( Cheers.) Mr. CRAWFORD, in rising, was loudly cheered. He said, he trusted he also should always be found in the foremost rank of Reformers.—( Cheers.) He could not address them in the same eloquent manner ii which his colleague, Mr. Grote, had done, but he was actuated by the same motives, and entertained t'-e same principles.—( Loud cheers.) For forty years the cointry had laboured under the mal-administration of the Tories ; and he confessed that, once having got .4 a o~ t h em, he was surprised to bear of their at4''''"",.tng to re-establish fleir domination. They vp41(1 1 1,„1 t h at , in dissolving Parlia ment, they were or.TY ir'.!,Tiring their own cause.—( Cheers.) Mr. PATTV":"..; was also received with loud cheers. He had no until he commenced canvassing, of the enthusiasm in • • savour of Reform which every where existed in the city. His address expressed hi, sentiments. By that address he would abide ; from one principle or iota he would never flinch.— ( Cheers.) He trusted he would redeem every word of it— nay, that he would go much further than it went.—( Cheers. ) He was fatigued with the exertions he had made for the last few days, and therefore wculd not trouble the meeting further. Mr..Jonx TRAVIRS moved a vote of thanks to the Chair mar. It was seconded by Mr. TI*LON, and carried amidst loud ac clamation. The CHAIRLTAN returned thanks ; in doing which he said ha resigned his claims for Southwark, as lie knew a Tory was about to take advantage of the dissensions among Refor mers. This disinterested avowal was loudly applauded. The meeting then broke up. [The liberal candidates, it appears, pay sufficient respect to the electors to attend themselves.] FINSBURY. Saturday morning, a meeting of the friends of H. Hob house, Esq., took place at the Vernon Arma, Pentonville road, Mr. Starling, of Wilmington-square (Clerkenwell) in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after eulogizing the Whigs, and declaim ing against the Conservatives, said—let us proclaim that the Duke of 'Wellington and his party shall not reign over us— ( Applause)—that is no mistake, and shall be no mistake.— ( Hear, hear, and cries of " Bravo.") Times like the present give rise to " thoughts that breathe," and speak " words that burn i" and, for my own part, I confess that I feel this to a considerable extents thoughts that I would have banished, and words that, under any other circumstances, I could not have given utterance to. The millions of intelligent and up right men in this country are not to be borne down and tram pled on by an oligarchy. It was then proposed and seconded that Mr. Hobhouse was a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Fins bury.—( Applause.) Mr. HOBTIOUSE begged of the electors to give him a fair hearing, and if they were dissatisfied with his opinions and sentiments, to reject him, but not to pnt him down unheard by violence and clamour.---( Hear.) He confessed that it was a matter of personal ambition, and the pursuit of a little honest fame for the benefit of his country, that urged him to solicit their suffrages. He did not go into a full explanation of his political sentiments, as he had already committed them to riting. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, a local committee was formed, and other arrangements were entered into to insure the election of Mr. Hobhouse. On Saturday evening, at 9 o'clock, a numerous and respect able meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Thomas Dancombe was held within the Sun Tavern, in Lambs' Con duit street. Mr. FILDES, the Chairman, stated the meeting had been convened inconsequence of a calumnious charge in an anony mous advertisement. Mr. Duncombe having repeated his explanation, a resolu tion expressing pleasure at his satisfactory account of the affair was passed. Mr. DI:NCOMBE then addreSied the meting. He had no objection to the most complete investigation-into hid conduct in respect to the transaction in ctuttion, as he was quite con vinced that tlie more it Was investigated the higher his private character vvcpl.i stand in their estimation. Mr. Duncombe havinr:, "entered into a full exposition of his political sentiments, entreated his supporters to go to the poll an the first day, and place the two best Reformers it the head of the poll. The meeting then broke up. TOTVER HAMLETS. There are three candidates in the field ; the former Mem bers (Dr. Lushington and Mr, Clay) and Captain Burton, R.N., which last IS Cutting a §tilatige Agure by his coarse and viturerative attacks on Dr. Lushington. He is avowedly a Peelite, and approves of the conduct of that Statesman. Captain Burton stands not the remotest chance. The Tories a-e even ashamed of their champion. Till: COUNTRY. DEVONSHIRE. EXETER, JAN. Divett closed his canvas yesterday afternoon, under the most flattering, prospect of triumphant success. /Monda.y mornipp the, nomin4tion will take place in the Ouildbail, lie *as in eitielient gpitits, atid a feeling of the most exalted enthusiasm animated the whole of the audi tory. He had foreseen the intrigues of the Tory party : he had seen a letter addressed to a gentleman now in this county, from one of the heads of that party, expressing sentiments to the effect that it would be fiecessary to go through a crisis of this kind b4ferti it would be in theiF poster to go on in a course of steady propriety. Be was convinced from their acts, that that party was composed of men of weak judgment, who would never be able to give into the measures of reform, which the House of Commons, as last elected, were prepared to adopt. After an admirable Speech from the Hon. Gentleman, the meeting disp@ried. LORI) JOHN RUSSELL. Lord John Russell has visited scveral towns in the South hams, all on the South Coast of loon, within the last few daysl- Is reeptiOn has eVeryWildre been that enthusiastic. At Ashburton, where his Lordship addressed the electors on Tuesday, he had a crowded assembly, although there had been but a few hours' notice of his coming. H. Gervis, Esq., a magistrate of the county, took the chair. His Lordship visited Newton the next day, where' he addressed several thou sands of the electors and inhabitants of the district. Lord Seymour, the late member for Tetness, took the chair. In commencing his address, Lord John said :—" Oentlertiefi, the Reform Bill was framed, with the view of uniting, as much as possible, all who should agree in certain objects. For this purpose, some had to sacrifice pre-conceived opinions ; many opinions which had been openly declared in Parliament.— ( Hear, hear. )' ' But upon the whole, we did prove that the Re form Bill was calculated to produce good government in this country. Gentlemen, it was said on the other hand, that it must immediately destroy the Church, that it must immedi ately overturn the fund-holder, and finally subvert the Throne ; and, in short, to use an expression of a Member of the new Cabinet—it must take the crown off the King's head—( A person in the crowd " pooh, pooh, nonsense !") Gentlemen, what do these persons say, now ?--Why, I am proud to see that they say that this Reform Bill, so fraught with danger, is a part of the settled constitution of the country, and they will not disturb it ; that they consider it as fixed. as Magna Charts itself, and they will not disturb it—( Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) The Noble Lord next noticed the plans of Reform prepared by tie late Administration—" Gentlemen, hese plans have been set aside, and other men have been called to the King's councils, who say they have no plans of any kind upon all or either of these subjects, but that they will take them into consideration, and that in the meantime, as it is a difficult crisis, they ask the support of the country. Why, Gentlemen, I must say if it is a difficult crisis, it is a crisis of their own making—( Hear, and cheers.) There was no danger, no appearance of danger, after the prorogation of Parliament ; it is only at this moment, owing to their assump tion of power, that any danger, or any appearance of danger has arisen."—( Continued cheers.) Lord John next adverted to the views of the late Government on the subject of the Corn Laws, and then proceeded to speak on the Tithe Question as follows :—" Gentlemen, I have never disagreed in the opi nions "which I have held, both here before my constituents, and which I have held before Parliament—that there never was a burden which belonged so much to a barbarous and sa vage age, that there never was a burden which belonged so much to an uncivilised time, as the burden of tithe.--( Cheers. ) Gentlemen, for my part, my opinion certainly goes beyond that of many others with regard to the relief that ought to be afforded : I think that measures ought to be taken to settle the tithe in such a manner that it should not bear upon the capital and industry of the farmer, as it now does—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) But, gentlemen, I was persuaded, as indeed I am persuaded now, that there is no use in making a proposition on that subject which will not meet with such a concurrence on the part of the Lords in its justice and policy, so that it may be speedily passed into an act of parliament--( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, upon that subject as upon many others to be sub mitted, I shall now feel more free than when I was in office. For as I told you at Totnes, so long as I thought that Lord Grey's Ministry were acting at all for the benefit and advan tage of the country, I had determined not to desert them, or do anything that would break up the Government—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I am convinced that if the government had gone on they would have produced a measure with regard to tithe, which must have been carried into an act of par liament, and when I say this, I do not mean that of vo luntary commutation of tithe--i Hear, hear,)-.—for my opinion is, that a voluntary commutation would prove insufficient, and to a great extent abortive." With regard to the assertions of Bishop Philpotts respecting his Lordship's statement at Tot net, on the subject of the opposition of the Right Reverend Bench to a commutation of tithes, his Lordship said that any future statement that he should make in reply, he should intake in writing. On concluding his address, the Noble Lord was saluted with three cheers. Lo:d John visited Torquay on this day, where he met a most respectable body of electors and friends, J. Garrow, Esq., in the chair. This meeting was attended by Lord Newark, who addressed the audience; Sir C. Dashwood, Captain Devon, Colonel Hewitt, Messrs. Bezzi, A. \Vise, jun., H. Carey, &c. At this meeting rctolutions in favour of the Noble Lord were unanimously adopted. DURHAM (NORTH DIVISION). The report that Mr. Braddyll, the Tory candidate, who was defeated two years ago, intended again to contest the repre sentation in Parliament of the North Division of the county of Durham with the late liberal Members Sir Hedworth son and Mr. Hedworth Lambton, has produced considerable excitement. This day, Friday, the second of January, Sir Hedworth Williamson met the electors of the North Division, who re side in Gateshead, at Freeman's Long-room, Gateshead. The chair was taken by George Hawke's, Esq. The CHAIRMAN was happy to inform the meeting that the aspect of Reform was more favourable in the county than it was a few days ago ; it was now believed that Mr. Braddyll would not come forward. It was, however, well to be pre. pared, in case he should make the atlestiph Sir HEDWORTII WILLIAMMOri Said, if returned to Parliametlt as their Representativ. 2 , turnix t g cot tie would exert himself to assist in te - present Administration, or in compelling them 4 4Ci adopt the measures necessary for the public welfare, Sir Hedworth declared himself the friend of Corporation Reform, and of the removal of the grievances and disabilities of the Dissenters, of the commutation of Tithes, of Church Reform, and of every measure calculated to make elections less ex pensive, to prevent corruption, and to enable the honest poor man to vote according to his conscience. Mr. BROtKEIV Moved, and Mr. 0. 14. gegonded, resolution to the effect that this meeting pledges itself' to stip port Sir Hedworth Williamson at the ensuing election. This was carried unanimonsly ; as was another resolution, moved by Mr. ROWNTRER, that this meeting pledges itself to attend at the election free of bxfichgo t 6 the Reform candi dates. The meeting then broke up. There appears to be no doubt that both Sir H. Williamson and Mr. Hedworth Lambton will be returned. MAIDSTONE, JAN. S. CURIOUS CONFESSION.—This borough is all alive. The success of our reform candidates is certain. All the arts of bribery and intimidation have been resorted to but will prove of no avail. A very numerous meeting of Reformers, full 600, was held on Tuesday last, at which the following singular con fession, taken down from the lips of W. Sears, a labourer out of work during the last election, and engaged by the Tories to act as a bully, was read, and produced a great sensation. The confession I have by favour obtained a copy of from our excel lent paper the Maidstone Gazette, and is as follows : " I was, at the last election, employed at the Cooper's Arms, by a card, to keep (as the ticket to be paid by), for assisting the pur ple party. We were to go down to the poll, and I was stationed with a sergeant and a number of others, in each division of the polling, to obstruct the blue voters. I, and about 70 others, were employed by —, who paid us 4s. per day, and 2s. in tickets every morning, and at night a present extra—sometimes amounting to 31., 41., and 51. amongst us. .We were also employed in the county election, and got about as much there. A gentleman with a blue bow was carried away by force into the Mitre, and we were treated with gin for doing it. In the evening drums and fifes were beat, and we were called on to turn out, by a person called our Captain, to go round and hoot and insult persons in the blue interest in their houses, and gave the poor fellows three gallons of beer to go and rob Southon's shop of some handbills." The reading of this document caused great indignation at the cowardly means taken to intimidate the electors. WILLIAM SEARS then came forward and averred the truth of his statement, and entered into a variety of details of the in famous proceedings of the ruffians engaged by the Tories at their last election for Maidstone and Kent. It seems the bul lies were hillited like soldiers at different public-houses under regular officers till the evening, " when the drum beat for mis chief." Another meeting occurred last night for the purpose of re ceiving Mr. Barnett, one of our late respected Members. It was one of the most numerous and enthusiastic ever held at Maidstone : full SOO persons were present. Mr. BriazivrT addressed the meeting at some length. He implored the Meeting, for God's sake, never to let it be said, that they had lent themselves to the plaelng of a Government in power, whose acts if they were consistent, would produce a military despotism, which would subject them all to slavery; or if inconsistent, would be unworthy of the confidence of honour able men.--(Cheers.) Ho had been shown returns which convLiced him that his election was secure. ( A most enthu siastic burst of cheering, which was interrupted by a call for three times three. These were given, and about a dozen more At the end of them.) The whole body of the meeting accom panied Mr. Barnett in procession to Lis lodgings, and after they had retired, some of the hired bullies of the Tory party attempted to annoy Mr. Barnett, by knocking at his door, hooting, &c. ; after which they retired to their usual allowance of guasle. MANCHE SPE hi, 442, 3. The crisis is fast approaching. the Sheriff's precept was received on Thursday, proclamation was made yesterday, and on Wednesday comes Ihe nomination. Mn, Poitlett Thomson, ex-President of the Board of Traci?, and one of our late representatives, arrived on Wednesday night at the house of Mr. Dyer, hit principal snpporter, and yesterday evening he addressed a number of his friends at his committee-rooms. To-day he made his first public appear• ante on 'Change, where all our Wealthiest mere assembled to meet him. He entered the room in company with R. Hey wood, t sq., 0. W. WoOd i Esq., and other friends, and was most cordially cheered by the very numerous and respectable assemblage. At the urgent desire of those around him, he was induced to adjourn to the large room above stairs, which was greatly crowded with auditors. Amidst the most hearty cheering, Mr. Tnomsori mounted the table, and proceeded to address the electors. The crisis in which we are now placed is one of infinite and ever % helming importance.—( Hear.) The people of this country are now called upon to say, on the exercise of the power which they hold under the Reform Bill, whether they will have the Government conducted upon the principles of a steady but safe continuance of Reform--( Hear)--or whether they will consent to see power again placed in the hands of those from whom it had been withdrawn, because they were the enemies of Reform, and hostile to all improvement.--( Applause.) We have heard that the people were tired of political excitement— that quiet and repose was what they sought. I believe that prior to the event of November there was never greater quiet— ( Cheers)—greater contentment, orprosperity than existed ge nerally throughout the country. When, indeed, I look at this assembly, and consider what are your occupations and what your interests, and when I take them as a sample of those of the community, I would ask what could any man want but quiet order and security ; and I would further say, that before the late events quiet, order, and security, were possessed by the people of this country in an unexampled degree ; and I say further, that the means of maintaining these blessings—the only way in which they could effectually be secured, namely, the working out, gradually and safely, those reforms which have given contentment to the people—were in the adoption of Government, and were being secured to the people by that Government.--( Cheers.) Who, then, has produced the re verse of quiet—who has produced the excitement which now exists from one end of the country to the other upon the sub ject of policy ? It is those who, in defiance of their repeated declarations that between them and power there was a gulf— that they were in a minority in their opinions as regarded the representatives of the people, have seized the helm of power, and exhibit to you a list of names, such as every man friendly to free dom has only to peruse to sec that we cannot expect from them those blessings and those improvements to which we have a right to look forward. A delusion has been attempted by raising the cry of " measures not men." Much to his credit, the first Minister of the Crown was the first to dispel the delusion ; for he said that every statesman must feel—that to be sup ported simply on the ground of measures, and not of confi dence in the government itself, was that which an honest statesman could not wish to seek for. • That delusion failing, we have heard of another to which I wish particularly just now to advert. Yon are told you have no choice now. On the one hand there is a Tory Government—enemies, it is true, of reform ; but on the other, there are only the Destructives (as they are termed,) and you must, in order to avoid the one, agree to accept the other. Was ever reasoning like this? Let me ask what becomes of the late Administration? What becomes of Lord Melbourne and of all those colleagues in the Cabinet who have fought, in the last two years, the battle of the people, and who were prepared with measures of reform for the ensuing session? What has happened that suddenly these men are to he considered as placed behind and utterly excluded from power, and that neither the people nor the Crown can any longer place confidence in them ? It is, in deed, a most perfect delusion--a delusion adopted merely to prevent and delay that reflection which must come to every man's mind. Since I had the honour, gentlemen, of being connected with Manchester, I have presided over a depart ment of the State connected most intimately with the interests of trade and commerce. I have endeavoured to discharge that duty—and at the same time as your representative—to advance, to the best of my abilities, the interests of commerce. --( Hear.) My opinions upon the principles which should guide that conduct are well known to you, and I feel some satisfaction in thinking that, during the two years I have held power, I have removed not a few of the vexations which pressed upon commercial industry.—( Applause.) I say, then, to you, and any in this room who politically differ from me, do you not think that, at least as a commercial representa tive, I have fulfilled your expectations?—( Cheers.) The struggle must come—not in this town only, but in the country —within the next fortnight ; and I hope that the opinions which I and my friends about me prefess, and which we all have at heart, will be secure in the country, as I feel confident that they are here. Mr. Thomson, on sitting down, was loudly cheered. After some further proceedings, the meeting broke up. The return of Mr. Thomson and Mr. Mark Phi lips (two Whigs) is deemed secure. ASHBURTON, JAN. 1.-Mr. Horsley Palmer, the eminent merchant and bank-director, arrived at Ashburton, Devon, on Tuesday, but no notice was taken of his arrival. On the same eveninr, at a very late hour, Mr. Charles Lushington, the liberal candidate arrived ; and on Wednesday morning, his friends commenced a spirited canvas, and are very confident of success. 137Anyoan,ftrOn the arrival of the news of the dissolution, the committees of the different candidates immediately assem bled A series of resolutions were passed by Mr. Lister's committee, expressing, that it was their duty, as Reformers? to render every assistance to a gentleman of similar principles with Lister ; and as Mr. Hadfield was of that descriptioui they unanimously determined on a coalition, and both parties have Commenced a general canvas. which has exceeded their most sanguine expectations. The nomination is fixed for Thursday. BERKSHIRE.—We are given to understand from good autho rity that Mr. Walter, the Reform Candidate for this county, from the number of promises, may rely on being again returned to Parliament. BiamiNoiliter..—Attwood and Scholefleld will again be re turned for Birmingham. R. Spooner. Esq., a Conservative , hi about to withdraw. COVENTRY.—Mr. Bulwer having retired, the return of Ellice, the old member, and William Williams, of Watling street, it certain. DUDLEY.--'Thomas n ' — , - ;;-..kes, Esq., has already made a tOrnplete canvas; and his party seem to entertain little doub t of his being triumphantly returned fur tiii; borough. His op ponent, Captain Forbes, R, N., who has been Livited by the liberal party to offer himself, is hourly expected. He also pledged himself to poll the last man against any Tor.caudi date wbo may take the field. a nd Courtenay Boyle, T. Sheppard, Esq , a M. Bridges, Eiq., (it Is believed), stand near l y in the Pave position with regard to numbers, as in our last wee k ' s re p ort; and as each candidate appears determined on po llin g to tho 1 ist, the contest will of course be a severe on e . Proclamation has loon made to-day (the 2d) for the nomination to take place on 'Wednesday, the 7th instant, and the poll to be held on the two following days.—Keene's Bath Journal. GATESHEAD.—The election for this borough was fixed this day ( Friday, Jan. 2,) to, be held on Thursday next, the Bth 01 Jaraury. Cuthbert Rippon, Esq., will be returned without opposition. 1-11411,.—The Tories are as usual practising *very dirtytri in order to return their man—a person whom they themselves acknowledge to be " a conceited simpleton." The Refor mers, however, arc united as one man. LEICESTERSHIRE (SOUTHERN DIVISION).--NOtWitbStandi ll g the empty vaunts of the partisans of the Tory Candidates, Messrs. Halford and Frewen Turner, the late truly liberal and honourable member, Mr. Dawson, has met with that cordial reception all through the canvas hitherto, which leaves ne doubt of the issue. The Northern . Division will not be contested. LEICESTER BOROUoll.—Every hour adds to the excitemen t here prevailing. Every succeeding day's canvas gives addi tional confirmation to the assurance of success to our late worthy representatives, Messrs. Evans and Ellis. Victory is assured. The polling commences on Wednesday morning , and terminates on Thursday afternoon. LEWES, JAN. 4.--The Tories are using all their influenc e in order to secure the return of their champion, Mr. Fitzroy; Lut it will not do. The iliends of Sir Charles Blunt and Mr• Kemp are sanguine as to the re,:ult of the election, but nev er ' thelcss they are leaving nothing to () Imes,. The nomination takes place to-morrow at eleven o'cloc::, and the polling on the two following days. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. uOUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAS Wr: Wheat. Barley. Oats. Bean . Yeast!
