AN Early Dissolution of' Parliament beineex ,... netted, I take the opportunity of finnoundng,to you that it is .."! i ntention to solicit a continuance of that confidence which you 'eve so kindly placed in me upon the occasion drthe two last general elections of klembers for the City of London. Jlairnately connected as I have been for upwards of fifty years with the commercial and trading interests of this great city, I need sc arcely assure you that I highly value the honour of being one of Your Representatives in Parliament. I presume it will not be necessary for me to enter into professions ?!. What will be my conduct upon various measures that may be b rought before the next Parliament, trusting my past votes will be the best assurance of my future intentions. lank firmly attached t 3 our institutions in Church and State, but am ever ready to listen to propositions tor improvement where abuses are found to exist. It may be expected that I Should make some allusion regarding any alteration in the duty upon corn, and upon that subject I must say, however desiro u s o f a ff or di ng re li e f t o the agricultural interests , I cannot give my assent to any hirther imposition of duty upon that necessary article of food for the people. I will only add that in the event of receiving your kind support at the approaching election, it will be my earnest endea vour, as it has ~b cc a my past desire, to pursue that course which w ill be most con ducive to the general wellare of the community, and to attend in an asPecial Manner to the local interests of illy constituents.

CITY OF LONDON. A meeting, convened by the following circular,. took place yesterday at the City of London Tavern:— " Liberal Registration Association, 4, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house, May 18,1852. (Private.) " Dear Sir,—An 'extraordinary mee ting of the chairmen, deputy-chairmen, and honorary secretaries of the Liberal Electors Committees of the ci'y of Loudon will be held at the London Tavern on Monday next, at two o'clock pre cisoy, to take into consideration the state of the represen- Wien. " Your attendance is specially requested. " I female, dear Sir, your iaith,f,uslispesrvEarnst,mme, Some limbbefore the hour appointed for the me etin g the room was nearly filled by the par ties to whom the circular was . athlressed, and et two o'clock exactly, on the motion Of Mr. Travera, Henry James Prescott, Esq., was called to the chair. At this moment the doors were beset by a number of gentlemen, electors of the city of London, who, although not included in the terms of the circular ; were most htlXiOtlS to obtain admission. The CHAIRmAN explained that the invitation had been limited to the terms of the circular, as the meeting was only a prelinaivary meeting for the purpose of preparing the busiu,oesit or the consideration of the elect ors ; bat as so many weltlemen, were in attendance, he put it to the meeting whether it was their wish that they should be admitted;;. On the motion of, Mr. TRAvEItS, seconded by Mr. P. G. DODD, it was agreed that the, meeting should be open. • The gelitletzieninfattendance having been admitted, it now became a question '.whether an adjournment. to a larger room; was not actuallinccessary; and after some time wasted in dischssing the propriety thereof, The CIIAARDIAN then opened the proceedings by stat ing briefly the objecte which'they had to take into con sideration, and took that opportunity of stating that at a former preliminary meeting of the electors named in the circular, held on Monday,' the 17th inst., on the mo tion of Alderman. Wire, seconded by Mr. Whiteside, the meeting had unanimously resolved— " That, desiring at this time to record our unabated at tachment to those great principles of civil and religious liberty which we sought to declare by the return of Baron Rothschild to Parliament, and believing that the right of the Commoes'of England freely to return as their iepresentative any of their fellow-citizens in whose inte2rity and ability they have confidence has been called in question by the re peated rejection of the Pariiamentsry Oaths Bill by the House of Lords, this meeting recommends Berea Rothschild to - presmt himself tor re-election, and pledges itself to devote its best exertions to secure his return." Peat ineetiog had teen held at Baron Rothschild's, and as it was not deemed right to deal with the interests of the other candidates on that occasion, the present meet ing had been called. It must be remarked that the pre sent meeting was entirely one for deliberation, and, so far as he understood, no formal business had been pre pared for discussion, so that the proce erlings might Luke whatever direction the meeting might desire. • ,Mr. Twomeeet HANKEY, jun., than said that he had great peakire in submitting to the meeting the motion :, : at e nodn w i te tt s hw a aa b;: btb t ec tt a t wu i sh n eo tr lh o ee duce.

The King of Trumps passed through York yesterday en route for Epsom. AQUATICS. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. The championship of the Thames—the first of the three great sporting events of the week—was contested yesterday, and so extraordinary a boat race was never seen. After the most gallant struggle on record, from the first to the last, over a course el neatly four miles and a half, the champion of the Thames and Tyne ' the hero of nearly half-a - hundred desperate conflicts, the pride of the. Thames, sustained a defeat— .. " Sic transit gloria mundi." It had been thought that ho was as good as ever—that nothing in the shape of humanity could wrest from him his " mastery o'er the flood;" and so sanguine were the expectations of his friends, that Robert Coombes, of whom we speak as he who held the proud distinction, was, at the moment of starting, absolutely backed by many at 2 to 1; and a very large amount of money has changed owners upon the result, which was certainly un expected by the very best judges of aquatics. Some notion may be formed of the interest the match created when we mention that no less than ten steamers, some densely crowded with persons, accompanied the match, to say nothing of the thousands of persons ranged along the course and in every description of craft. It was a great prelude to, with all the excitement of, a Derby day, and amply repaid was the vest concourse by the unparalleled struggle for superiority. The match was for 2001. aside, besides the honorary distinction we have before mentioned; and the competi tors, Robert Coombes the champion owl many years' standing, and Thomas ' Cole of Chelsea, o aspired to that honour. The former has been before the public for the last twenty years, and earned such extraordinary reputation for pre-eminence in this art, that many, de spite his being in his 43d year, considered him inviecible. Ho had, step by step, ascended the ladder of fame by de feating the greatest men of each succeeding year, until nobody was left to beat. In the course of last s e asn ac- he had occasion to im p art some of his principle pr tice of training to his yesterday's upponent, who Wtiff at that time taken under his charge to be got in condition against Robert Newell, and tee pupil, as the result has shown, was superior to ghee receptor. Of Cole but very little was known, so ittlhat hundreds did not scruple to impute to himself and backers a pretty considerable share of arrogance in supposing that he could contend, with any chance of success, against so formidable a rival. Cole bad won Doggett's ceat and badge four years ago, and had since beaten Chitty, of Richmond, at least a fourth-rate man; and with so little on record to recommend him as a doer, it can scarcely c b e wondered that the circumstane love ot ce et a p aqueti sport, r ivat e gentle _ man backing him, purely for th was considered a bol d step. The match had been about s i nc e the early part of the winter, and both Men had paid the most scrupulous attention to their training, the result of which was, that they both came to the starting post yesterday in the most beautiful eenditien. Coombes, who has in his time beaten eleven-stone and men Ili; , is"sowin., , aa we have already said, in his 43d year, weight was 9st 111). Cole is 25 years old, a nd is half a stone heavier. The distance contested was from Putnee-bridge to Mortlake, and the sttendance of spectiors was the greatest we ever eater at each a race. Betting was brisk at 6 and 7 to 4 on Coembes, and in some instances ea. larged to 2 to 1. At a little after five o'clock both men rowed to their stations, Colo having the choice, and yalta was Mid dlesex side of the centre arch. R Coombes; Sa lter for Cole; and Mr. E. umpire for Searle officiated as r eferee. Coombes dashed his culls kindly in the Royal the s pi wat er with almost th e rap i dity of lightning, and which h e h then they g . men ever so l ea d of something l ike a quarter len and took a re tained but for about twenty we re scull and scull, and no two a ably displayed the perfection of style, while their pace) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market since the departure of the previous steamer had been very easy, and money plentful. The general trade of the country was in a satisfactory con dition.

The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed a long circular to the Rectors of Academies explanatory of the decree, of the 10th April last, relative to a new plan of studies. That decree, he says, is destined to secure a good grammatical education to all classes of pupils, as it is useful to all ; and when it is completed, to enable such pupils, as have a vocation for the liberal professions to continue, after passing a❑ examination, the study of lettres or of the sciences. He denies that, as has been alleged, the Government wishes to make a separation between lettres and sciences ; and as a proof of it he states that the examination for a degree in sciences will comprise literary matters, and for one in lettres, scientific subjects. General BEDEAU has addressed the following letter to the Minister of War, refusing to take the oath ()- fidelity : " Mons, 15th May, 1852. " Mon:ieur le Ministre,—An order fixes the time with , in which the oath imposed on soldiers is to be taken. Placed out of the pale of the law since the 2n December, I might abstain from replying to that prescription. But I do not wish that my silei.ce should be falsely int,r prt,ted. My ac - s have always had for principle And object the respect and the defence of the laws. I was for that sole cause arrested, imprisioned, and violently pro ecrihed. Injustice and persecution do not change honest convictions. I refuse the oath. " BEDEAU." The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has re mitted to M. VIGNAUD, lately responsible editor of the journal La Province, the punishment to which he was condemned by the Court of Assizes of the Haute- Vienne, fur an insulting article against the head of the state. M. BAUNE, one of the ex.-representatives, under sentence of banishment, was present in Paris last week at the marriage of his daughter, who had ob tained permission to that effect. He has since re turned to Brussels. The Ithrquis DE PASTO RET,We read in the pays --- " agent of the property of the COUNT DE Cakm- Bonu s fulfilled, in the opinion of some persons, the functions of Lieutenant -General of the kingdom. After having been replaced in this last-named post by the Duke D'Esoaus, be passed generally for being the writer of the document of 'Venice. He has just contradicted those assertions by two solemn acts, in taking the oath of fidelity to Louis NAPOLEONJ one as member of the Commission of Historical Docu ments, and the other as member of the Superior Commission of Public Assistance. Such facts have no need of comment." According to a Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels, the French Government proposes to increase the stipend of the Archbishop of PARIS from 40,0001. to 50,000 f., those of fourteen Archbishops from 15,000 f. to 20,000 f., End of sixty-five Bishops from 10,0001. to 12,000 f. It also proposes, says that journal, to increase the stipends of the Vicars. General by 500 E, to improve the position of some of the lower clergy, to increase the allowance to the Chapter of St. Denis, and to grant 180,000 f. fur in creasing the choirs of cathedrals. The Journal du Loiret says :—" We have and nounced that the PRESIDENT of the Repu.blic and bought a property in the Sologne.
