The election of Sheriffs yesterday has sorely disappointed the leading organ of the Tories. The Times anticipated that the Livery would pass over Mr. ROGERS with contempt, but ROGERS was elected without opposition. So the Times and the Tories boast that the City will return Tories, and they will be equally dis appointed. The election of Sheriffs is an indica tion that the election of Members will be a still greater disappointment to the Tories. Their candidates, in fact, are all fighting against their own interests, and against the inte rests of the City. They dare not say a word against cheap timber, cheap sugar, and cheap bread. In fact, they espouse the principles against which they call on the citizens to vote in their persons. With the exception of the Canada timber jobbers, and a few mortgagees of West India property, the bulk of the electors are favourable to a change in the sugar, timber, and corn duties. They live by trade, and for them to vote against an extension of trade is to commit violence on themselves. We cannot conceive an elector—not a jobber nor a monopolist—voting to keep up the price of sugar, to preserve a mono poly of timber, or to maintain the !present gam bling with the subsistence of the people. They may not be contented, of which we see many proofs, with the alterations proposed, which they think ought to have gone farther; but the Tories are for making no change what ever; and they will vote for an inconsiderable alteration rather than vote to nail the present s ystem for ever on the country. As they d es i re a greater change,' the mere high-handed and tri umphantly they can defeat the o pponent{ of all change, the more likely they be to ob ta i n their desire. They are not to ,suppose v if they speakplan is to speak out boldly that th e Minisierit " be final; far from it; that plan is„liltt, th e , corn. mencement of an improved systellt:o4ith it de pends on them to carry f or ward. "ft' With the principles of free trade the welfare of our great commercial metropolis is closely bound up. They have been advocated and prayed for by its leading merchants, year after year, since 1821 ; and to their prayers the open ing of the India trade, the modifications of the Navigation Act, and the reduction of many pro hibitive duties, have been successively granted. Gradually and successively, too, has the metro polis increased in wealth and splendour as re strictions have been removed. For those who have advocated freedom of trade, who have par tially obtained it, and have profited by it, now to vote for standing still, or to retrograde, is quite impossible. Can the sun go back on the dial ? The Tories, then, who look to the electors of the metropolis for support, will be, we believe, as much disappointed as the Times, which saw the election of Mr . R GOERS for Sheriff on the same day that it called on the Livery to pass him by with contempt. The readers of The Sun will find in another column an abridged report of an excellent speech delivered by Sir GEORGE GREY to the electors of DeVonport. No Member of the Government can refer with more well-founded confidence to the consistency of his Parliamentary career than Sir GEORGE, and it is highly creditable to his con stituents that they so highly appreciate his public services and those of his colleague, Mr. TUFFNEL, that a Tory has not the slightest chance in the borough. DERRY DAWSON, ,the brother-in-law of Sir R. PEEL, has put himself at the head of the ' Tory forlorn hope, but it is only to be buried in the trenches. Sir G. GREY'S arguments in f avour of ab o li s hi ng the Sugar duties andCorn la (for he avows himself no finality man in P ro ce4int first with a reduction of the im- N - 1.-Affi t ale , bread and sugar), are incon , . .OM th er e • , .--,, L____j_ ~(,-,. --- i‘, e " Que Passage in his speech .- - --- , . , , ~ " 4 '7, -- - - : -.i '---:,-- :,...1,3T" renc4lll4*.

We allude to what he says about the course which the Mem bers of the Cabinet will pursue in the event of their being in a minority in the ensuing Parlia ment. Why thus anticipate defeat? Why damp the generous ardour of the electors of the'United Kingdom, by telling them, on the eve of a great struggle, that possibly defeat, and not victory, awaits them ? Courage and self-confidence is half the battle ; confidence in the people, when the patriotism and self-interests of the people are appealed to, is more than victory—it is the annihilation of the enemy. The pre sent is not the time for Ministers to tell the country the degree of fortitude with which they are prepared to suffer poli tical martyrdom. They are not now fighting on the defensive. Having carried the war into the enemy's camp, their followers expect other dis courses from them than homilies on resignation, and on the merit, if captured, of wearing their chains with decorum. The cause which Minis ters support—the cause of righteousness and of the poor—ought to infuse into them a bolder and more determined spirit. Success, like a citadel, may be often carried by storm. What but the confidence which the Ministry had in the coun try, and which the country reposed in the Mi nisters, saved England from anarchy, when the Lords threw out the first and se cond Reform Bills? And though some acts of the Government have since weak ened the popular confidence in the liberality of its general policy, it has only to adopt a bold and unflinching resolution upon the Corn-laws and Sugar duties questions, and thereupon to challenge as its right the suffrages of the elec tors, to ensure the most triumphant success. we are happy to say, generally acknowledged—it follows as a necessary consequence, that all reli gious, and all moral men, are bound to demand. its abolition, and lend the akt to abolish it. They are, we are equally happy to say, now ge nerally acting on this view, and their exertions will give a turn to the public sentiments, and to many election contests, which will, we trust, as tonish the advocates of selling by false weights and measures. Whatever may be the immediate result, though of that we entertain sanguine hopes, there can be no doubt that the da t v iR nit distant when venality will be extinguished amongst electors, and honesty be as much ho noured in law-making as in private dealings. We see with satisfaction that the Dublin papers which arrived yesterday have cooled down on the affair of the Chancellorship. They are no longer hissing, bouncing, and spluttering, like melted iron coming into contact with water. No doubt the good feeling of the Irish towards the Ministers will return as soon as the mischief maker's retiring speech is forgotten. It is clear that the whole of the excitement, which has no rational ground, has been caused by the inconsi derate, if not malicious, observations of Lord PLUNKETT. Some of the Dublin papers mention Sir M. O'LOGHLEN, the Master of the Rolls in Ireland, as eminently qualified to he Lord Chancellor. Admittint his great abilities and his unsullied character, his religion is an effectual bar to his receiving the appointment, even if a due sense of interest would not induce him to prefer his pre sent permanent Judgeship to the temporary but higher office of the Chancellor. Though he cannot be promoted, , he is, still suscep tible of an affront at the promotion of others ; and, while he may look with com placency on a lawyer of such eminence as Baron CAMPBELL being placed on the Irish Woolsack, he would probably feel deeply mor tified at seeing a man taken from his own Court, and advanced above him to a place which the ' law has forbidden him to occupy. If there were no other consideration, what is due to Sir M. OTOGHLEN from the present Ministers, justifies them for not having placed any Irish Protestant Barrister on the Irish Woolsack. The anger of the Dublin Bar, whether simu lated or not, is at least misplaced. It might be proper if the Bar of England were not open to them. But all its honours, including the Chan cellorship, are; and while no Englishman, we believe, goes to practise in Ireland, no incon siderable number of Irish Barristers practise at the English Bar. To quote one instance, Mr. CHAtILES PHILLIPS, known to every reader of Newspapers, is an Irish Barrister, who acquired a reputation in Dublin before he came to the metropolis. Baron CAMPBELL himself is one amongst several proofs, that it is not necessary to be born and educated in England to rise here to the highest honours of the legal profession. They may be claimed by the Irish, who do themselves an injustice when they limit their ambition to a monopoly of the professional honours of their own country. We have not the smallest fear,however, that the Irish Bar, or the Irish Press, willlong see this matter in an unfavourable light. They have received too much from the Whigs to allow the rabid Tories, with which Dublin abounds, to make a handle of it to stir up against Ministers, who have always meant well and done well for Ireland. We are assured from the spirit which is roused amongst the people, that the ordinary run of politicians will miscalculate the result of the elections. Religion and morality have come to our aid, and the customary cant of phrases will lose its power. The people are awake to the great stake at issue, and where the Anti-Corn-law candidates are not successful, even in counties where the Pro-Corn-law men will walk over the course for want of proper opponents, the Pro- Corn-law men will feel, we are sure, that they have gained no triumph. They will be sensible that the eye of the people is on them, they will flinch before public opinion, and some of those who are elected monopolists will turn free-traders. In another part of The Sun, we publish an ex hortation from the Baptist Community to ab stain from bribery. So excellent an example will be imitated by the Clergy of the Established Church, we have no doubt ; and bribery will be discountenanced by the ministers of every sect. The good cause will gain throughout the coun try by that, for the chief source of the strength of the Tories is the venality of the electors. Some religious men, we see, hesitate to embark in politics, alleging that they are inconsistent with religion. For theirsake let us observe, that every bad law exists only by their power; it is the ex pression of the will of the community, including them; and if they deem any law to be immoral and unjust, they are as much bound to demand its repeal as to abstain from cheating. If they do not, it is kept in existence by their act, and they are in part the authors of the guilt. They are bound to prevent all the evil, and promote all the good in their power; no evil is so great as that caused by bad laws enacted in their name, and supported by their power; and no reprobation can be too severe for neglecting to remove all such laws. Now, that the law which withholds food from the people is a most mischievous law, cannot for one moment be doubted. It degrades, im- Imerishes, and starves them. At the same time t Prevents that e3MMerce between nations wh; is Elie surest bond of peace.

It does not declare that the quarter of wheat selling for 60s. shall consist of only six bushels, but it enacts, when the fair market price of the quarter is only 455. that the buyer shall gi ve Ms. for it. Of what consequence is it to him whether the quantity be reduced or whether the sum he pays for it be increased ? It comes to precisely the same end. His 60s, will only pro cure him a portion of the corn they would bring if there were no Corn-law. The law then enacts a false measure for the sale of corn, which is as much greater an abomination than the nailing a penny-piece beneath a scale, as the whole body of consumers exceed the customers of any single grocer's shop. Such being the nature of the Corn-law—now ' • •••••;- In the last Number of the Westminster Re view, now on the eve of publication, there is an article entitled the " Dissolution," which dis cusses some of the leading political questions of the day, in a succinct, searching, matter-of-fact spirit, which cannot fail to carry conviction to the minds of a large class of readers. Among other subjects, the Reviewer glances at the Penny Postage scheme, which he proves, by a variety of statistic documents, to have been a decidedly successful experiment; but, notwith standing this fact, he expresses his belief that should the Tories come into power, the very first thing they would do, would be " to return to the old rates of postage." We think it by no means unlikely they would do so, for there is no act of folly so suicidal, but these men are ca pable of committing it. The experience that makes even fools wise, passes over their heads in vain. They are still, what they ever were, and will ever continue to be, so long as they constitute a party, determined foes to all the best and dear est interests of the people. We are far from re gretting this—on the contrary, we rejoice at it, for it is our great safeguard against them. Were Tory shrewdness equal to Tory tenacity of purpose, we should then, indeed, have cause to dread the faction as ge would dread a pesti lence ; but headstrong, presumptuous, and in consistent as it now shows itself, to a greater de gree than ever, we feel morally persuaded that, for all its noise and bluster, it can never, for any length of time, make successful inroads on our rights. Were the Tories to come into power to morrow, they would be out again before their first quarter's salary became due, so thoroughly anti-national arc they in their prejudices, and such desperate blunderers in the mode of giving effect to those prejudices. We do not forget their besotted resistance to the motion for enfranchising Manchester and Bir mingham, and which led immediately to the Re form Bill; their personal insult to the QUEEN respecting the Bed-chamber appointments which consigned them over again to the Opposi tion bench ; or their curtailment of Prince AL BERT'S income, which was in flat, bare-faced con. tradiction to the principles that influenced them when they granted the QUEEN DOWAGER the enormous sum of one hundred thousand pounds per annum! These, and many other Tory freaks of the like sort, are not forgotten, and have long since satisfied all rational men of the utter impos sibility of the country being ever steadily or equitably governed upon the principles of Tory ism. That the present Ministers have their faults we are far from intending to deny; they have been timid when they should have been resolute;and dis trustful of the people when they should have had full confidence in them ; still, we agree with the Westminster Reviewer, that, at the present crisis, we should lose sight of their faults, and " see in them only the opponents of Monopoly." They are now engaged in fighting the battle of the oppressed Many against the encroaching Few ; they have placed themselves in the van of the great popular movement against grinding despotism ; and deserve the cordial support of every man who aspires to the character of a good citizen. We have before us a copy of the Imperial Fir man, despatched by the Porte to MEHEMET Am at Alexandria by the Russian steamer Silatscla, on the Ist inst. This firman embodies the ultimatum of the SULTAN, whose concessions to the VICEROY are greater than those indicated in the collective note of the Four Powers recom mending a modification of the former firman. It was accompanied by a separate Imperial rescript, fixing the amount of tribute, which we have not received, but which tribute is stated in letters from Constantinople of the 2d instant, to amount to 80,000 purses, or about 365,0001. British currency. The succession is confined to the descendants of the VICEROY hi the male line, and that line be coming extinct, the male children of the female branches of MEHEMET'S family are to have no claim to the Government of Egypt, which the Porte is then to dispose of at its pleasure. In the East, where the extinction of the male branches of a family is rendered almost impos sible by polygamy, this limitation of the succes sion is by no means so important as it would be in the West. It, moreover, tends to check a disposition to intrigue for the supreme power on the part of the collateral branches of the governing family. The equalization of the in trinsic and extrinsic value of the coin of Turkey and Egypt is an excellent mea sure, and will greatly facilitate the pro gress of commercial improvement. The tone of the firman is exceedingly mild and conciliatory, but there is one clause in it which appears to us surrounded with peculiar difficulty. The Porte says that on the failure of any of the conditions which it imposes upon the VICEROY, the whole agreement is at an end, and the SULTAN may that moment remove him from the Pachalic. Now who is to decide whether MEHEMET Am has, or has not, violated any condition of the Firman? Is a hostile Vizier at the Divan, who hopes to be his suc cessor, to determine that MEHEMET Am has conferred a rank upon an Egyptian above that of a Colonel, and has therefore forfeited his Pachalic ? Should the coin now current in Egypt be found in circulation in some remote district five years hence, is it on such a pre. text that an ambitious favourite at Con stantinople is to be permitted to advance a charge of treason against the VICEROY ?

But the military and naval forces of Egypt being essen tially for the service of the Sublime Porte, the number may in times of war be augmented to the extent which may be judged proper by my Government. " According to a rule in force soldiers enrolled in other parts of my empire serve during five years, at the expi ration of which they are replaced by fresh levies. Such being the case it would be necessary that the same rule intact should be adopted in Egypt ; but with respect to the duration of service the habits of the inhabitants of Egypt will be consulted, perfect equity being in every respect observed in their favour. Four hundred Egyp tian troops are to be annually sent to Constantinople. There shall be no difference between the decorations and the colours (flags) of the troops employed in Egypt and those of the other troops of my Government. The officers of the Egyptian navy also shall use the same de corations of rank, and the ships the same colours as those of the imperial navy. " The Pacha of Egypt may appoint his military and naval officers up to the rank of colonel, but with respect to the nomination of officers of a higher rank—viz., mir livas (generals of brigade), and feriks (Lieutenant-Ge nerals), it is absolutely necessary that you should de mand my permission and take my orders on that head. " The Pachas of Egypt shall not hereafter build any ships of war without having first asked permission of the Sublime Porte, and obtained from it a clear and positive authority to that effect. " As every one of the preceding conditions is closely attached to the hereditary privilege—should but one of them at any time not be executed, the hereditary privi lege shall that instant be abrogated and cease to exist. " Such being my sovereign pleasure on all the points alluded to, and as you as well as your sons and descen dants will not fail to recognise the distinguished favour conferred upon you, you will exert yourselves to execute scrupulously the stipulations herein fixed, you will avoid carefully everything like opposition, and be equally assi duous to ensure the welfare and tranquillity of the inha bitants of Egypt—shielding them from all injustice and vexations, and will also report and apply for instructions on all matters of importance concerning that country. It is with this view that the present Imperial firman— headed by my itoyal autograph, has been transcribed and sent." The Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received, with an extraordinary Express front that capital, bring inn-. news of Thurslay's date. The Commerce announces that France and Austria has just concluded a convert• tion, by which the ships of the two nations, forced by stress of weather to take elicitor In each other's ports, are to be exempted from all harbour dues. From ea tracts which we have given from the French papers, in another eolttiati, it tippeafs that Vratiec is resolved to make the various outbreaks in the Turkish province§ subservient to the recovery of her influence in the East. In Syria her emissaries have been actively at work since the expulsion of the Egyptian troops from that province, and it is notorious at Athens that the French Minister gives every encouragement to the KING to countenance the revolt of the Candiotes. On the other hand, Rus sian agents are scouring the provinces of Bulgaria, Ser via, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Anatolia, inciting the Greeks to implore the protection of the Imperial Head of their Church, the Czar Nlcnoluts. On all sides Turkey is beset with dangers more seriou; than ever before me , naced the continuance of her sway over any part of Europe. The following is the news from Paris, brought by Extraordinary Express : It would appear that M. Lefebvre de Bicourt, the Charge d'Affaires of France at Buenos Ayres, has written to the Minis try to demand his immediate recal, new difficulties having arisen in La Plata, which could only be settled by an appeal to arms. An earthquake took place at St. Pierre, iu Martinique, at half-past six o'clock on the 9th ult. The Duke de Nemours returned to Paris from Africa on Monday evening. The Monitettr promulgates the law authorising the esta blishment of a new line of steam packets in the Mediterranean. The Courrier de Bordeaux publishes the speech delivered by Espartero when elected Regent of Spain, which is nearly word for word with that pronounced by Napoleon, in presence of the Senate, after his appointment as Consul for life. The intelligence from Madrid of the 16th is unimportant. The Augsburg Gazette of the 20th states, under date Con stantinople the 2d, that the Pashas of Bagdad, Bosnia, and others, had revolted, and intended to declare themselves inde pendent of the Central Government. It was said that the Pacha of Bagdad, not having having succeeded in his under taking, had sought refuge in Persia. According to accounts from Vienna, of the 15th, Prince Metternich would not leave that capital before the lath July. The Servian Government had addressed to the neighbour ing powers an expose of the cruelties lately perpetrated by the Arnauts in Bulgaria. Some of the Christians had returned to their homes, whilst others were determined to wait on the Ser vian territory, the arrival of the Turkish Commissioner, Yacoub Pacha. It was stated on the Paris Bourse that M. Humann, the Minister of Finance, would not require a loan of more than 225,000,000 f. (9,000,0001.) The Chamber of Peers approved en Wednesday of the treaty of commerce lately concluded between France and Holland. The following extracts from Galignani of Tuesday, and the other French papers of that date include all that is of any interest in these Journals ! FRENCH DinomAcY.—The Constitutionnel observes " The following eleven Ambassadors are at present in Patio, on leave of absence from their respective posts ) or have finally quitted them :—M. de St. Aulaire, from Vienna ; M, Bream son, Berlin ;_ the Marquis de Dalttatie s Turitt M. de BUS. sicres, Dresden ; M. de Varennes, Lisbon; M. de St. Priest, Copenhagen : M. de Fontenay, Stuttgardt ; M. d'Eyragues; Carisruhe ; M. de Sercy, Ispahan t M. de Ilois , loCointeLtlie Hague; and M. de la Rooliefoueault, Darmstadt. The Em ba,stes to London, Vienna, Berlin, as Madrid, are vacant, and Messrs. de Barante, de Pontois, de Bacourt, and de Tallenay are shortly expected in Paris. Is it not fair to suppose that M Guizet has resolved to carry on diplomacy without diplo matists ? ANOTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE.—Paris, it is hinted in high quarters, is soon again to become the scene of festivity, in consequence of the marriage of a member of the Royal Family. The exalted personage alluded to is not the Prince de Join ville, with a Princess of Holland, but the Princess Clementine with the brother of Prince Albert, Consort of the Queen of England. The King and Queen of the Belgians are to grace the nuptials with their presence. Their Majesties are expected in Paris in about a month hence, and preparations are already commenced for their reception at the Tuileries. f mit for o eyi r ma:rsi lyoungesHo.fmcdar Soon ell after r d xtolde i ti e rsu s pcela a tfahr t ey:4 l: id l iwi o fiet n :list t eptoterf:loael following 1 e 0:,,1w , :t i hi n ;egcs trhhien::nwai teachers,ngti htcht FEMALE HEROISM. —During afire which entirely destroyed co oa u h f f o b ii t t i : h ch m a t er ,re o d e l n r p i 4 e n i i t d : h th h s h i a c a n n e h m s r r i a 2 n nr i great presence of mind, made her escape with two of the younger pupils and call ~---- " a , '• ' i that - —cr toe names to ascertain none vigr4 oehind.

The KING, ac cording to the accounts in the Papers, was making a tour through the province of Limburg, and was received in every place with the greatest enthusiasm. The Duke of LEEDS arrived at Amsterdam on the 21st. THE BLACK BREAD OF GERMANY . , against which the Ignorant Tories, ev en that ignorant Tory who writes in the 6biarterly Review, raves day after day, is continually imported into England as a luxury. Scarcely a vessel arrives from Uarnburgh but brings over one or two loaves of their " black glutinous store," for the enjoyment of the rich Germans, and others who have acquired a taste for it on the Continent. We recommend the ex-Secre tary of the Admiralty, alias the talking potatoe, to make inquiries at the Custom-house. WESTMINSTER BLECTION. - Mr. Stanhope Wilkes has addressed a letter to us as follows : " TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. " Siti,—By your paper of yesterday , I perc eive y ou find kith, with my political conduct, and for what ? Trying id proveut the Whigs from having the electors of Westminster delivered over to them bound hand and foot. Are these the principles advocated by . The Sun? Surely the present Government have sufficient rotten boroughs, without Westminster being added to their number.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ROBERT STANHOPE WILKES. 0 June 24, 1841." - We see no viroef that the electors of Westminster are ...tr • handed over to the Nr bound hand and foot, or that Westminster is to be a rotten .I"'rough. We would not believe it of the electors, thoug.h a score ;3.t T ' h Stanhope Wilkes's asserted it. Mr. Leader a but a a s on several Radical—the free choice of the electors, wrn. several occasions opposed and abused the Whigs. A. Mr. Wilkes had received a requisition to offer himself— if he were a public man of' some celebrity, if he had a chance of success, we should say fight out the contest ; but Mr. Stanhope Wilkes has not been asked to become a candidate, and he has no chance whatever of success. The principles advocated by The Sun are, not to allow, if we can help it, the public cause to be damaged by thel crotchets or foolishness of individuals. The parochial reputation of Mr. Stanhope Wilkes really gives him no claim to represent Westminster in Parliament. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Stook Market to-day wore a firm appearance, and before the close of business prices assumed rather an upward tendency. On the whole, however, the operations were not of importance, being restricted In tome measure by the scar city of Stock. Consols were marked 89 till the close of business, nhen they advanced to 89 a ; Exchequer Bills were 0 to 9 premium, a trilling improvement; the Reduced Three and.a-Half per Cents. realised 98i to 98,1; and the Three per Cents. 899 tn 89g. There were no bargains in either Bank or India Stock. The Foreign Market relapsed into its previous state of dull ness, but there was no decline in prices. Spanish Active Bonds brought 22b; Mexican rose to 27i to ; Chilian were steady at 81 ; Belgian touched 100 ; and the Dutch Five per Cents. were again at 100 to 99i. Shares were more dealt in, and some of them being pressed on the market, gave way slightly. The more current rates were these i—London and Birmingham, 69 ; ditto New 22i ; York and North Midland, 21 ; South Western, 1b! ; and Orkit Western, 241 premium. Brighton were 5R- ; Black wall 7 to 8 ; Cl:orien t i South Eastern, 181 ; Midland Counties, 11 ; Northern and Eastern, 10b ; and Manchester and Leeds New, 9 discount. Midland Counties Quarter Shares were 68 ; and Eastern Counties Debentures 2i prem. London and Westminister Bank Shares were 14 premium ; and Combre Copper Company 2tl discount.

In the City scarcely any thing else is now thought or spoken of but the coining election. All parties are zealous in their canvass, and the Tories have gone the length of asserting that, if the Liberals get in one candidate, and that one Mr. Wood, they may think themselves well off. Whether this may arise from a mere boasting inclina tion, or from a sort of belief among the Tories, almost ttrounnting to infatuation, it is not our province to determine, but it Toy be remarked that the more moderate of that pro verbially hot.hested party, a re charitable enough to give their opponents two Members, or, in other terms, to " split the dif ference." The Money Market shoved no movement of the least in terest. Consols fur the Account, 894 5; Colombian, 20i 214 ; Mexican, 274 4; Spanish, 224 3.
