A child unborn, ou_hr not to have his lebour taxed in order to pay the 23 millions whets that could be provided for, by a reduction on coffee, timber, &c.—(Cheers.) Why should they be taxed in order to put money into the pockets of the landlords? — (Hear, hear.) Supposing they had got rid of all these dif ficulties and pressures upon trade, then England would pros per, and would stand up the proudest of all nations in defi ance of all wrong.—(Cheers.) The electors of Southwark had nobly done their duty—the borough had been consistent — they had elected two men to represent them who had deter mined to• support the principles they entertained, and which they bad now entertained for the last ten years. Having done their duty, in the borough of Southwark, let every o n e now do their utmost in the city of London , and in the borough of Lam beth. These places were contested, and if one Member for either of the places upon the Tory interest should be success ful, it would be a serious injury to their cause. They ought to be prepared to carry out the victory of last year in ' every place to which their influence extended.—( Cheers). Their victory of to-day was the victory they had won last year, —(Loud cheers.) Having won the victory in their own bo rough, let them do what they could for the same cause us other places. Let them do what they could in London.—(Loud cheers.) Let. them do what they could in Lambeth.— ( Loud cheers.) The time for the London nomination was drawing near. He entreated them nut only to attend the nomination, but to be every man of them at the poll at eight o'clock to- morrow.—(Loud cheers and cries of "We will.") Let them remember that they had carried the Southwark election last year by gaining the first minute, and by never losing their ground afterwards.—(Loud cheers.) Let them do the same thing in London and Lambeth, and they would be rewarded by the same success.—(Loud cheers.) tie thanked them sin cerely for the honour they had conferred upon him, and assured them that he would use the utmost exertions in his power to merit a continuance of their confidence.—(Che'ers.) If ever he differed from them they might be assured that he would do so openly.—(Cheers.) He would be always ready to account to them for his conduct—(Cheers) —he would never retain his seat a moment longer than he could do so to their satisfaction.—(Cheers.) lie would come there whenever they should call upon him so to do; and whenever they should tell him that he no longer represented their principles, that in stant he would resign. --(Loud and long continued cheering.) Mr. Alderman i'itrAir_ilfiltv proposed a vote of thanks to the High Bailiff amidst loud cheers. Mr. B. WOOD, in seconding the metion, said he would take that opportunity of stating one fact relating to the averages, which would show the operation of the sliding scale. On the 11th June last the average price of corn for the United Kingdom was 625. 2d. At Berwick and Bridport the average price was only 555. 5d.; but how was the averag e made up ? Why, at Ulverstone, in Lanca shire, the average price was 71s. 10d., so that although if the average price throughout England had been 725., the people of Lancashire might have foreign 'corn with a duty only of Is. ; }et now, although they were actually themselves paying that price in consequence of the sliding scale, they could not obtain it under a duty of 245. tad ; and this was the operation of the far famed sliding scale.--(Loud cheers.) The vote of thanks was then carried by acclamation, end the High Bailiff having acknowledged the compliment, the meeting separated, after giving three cheers for the Liberal cause—three times three for the Queen—and three groans for the Tories. - t° Pro ic tect ion with the landholders ? Take, for instance, the sub e grewest Jetth 1 railroads. Every one would admit that they were of Awl . d, _ possible aelvantage to the couritte, but they had t h e ,. many . hundreds of mast deserving pereons. Many of nnerelnsed victuallers living on the former lines of traffic had talked . of in consequence of the railroads, and yet no one de j , , n . f any protection for, or of aoy compensation to that oervine hod •of ' t° protection e persons. Why had the landholders any claim They more than the licensed victuallers?—(Cheers.) "ey had ti ied and proved Mr. Wood, and he felt convinced that if th w ould d eY aeaia returned that gentleman to Parliament, he ° every thing in his power to put an end to the present 'l ll o t _ t , en t and corrupt system.—( Cheers.) tie had great pleasure , °rling the nomination.—(Loud cheers. ) The_ Eholi• Baum' then asked if any elector wished to pro- P os e se any . other candidate, and receiving no answer, he proposed iu i t .. eutiv , ely the names of Mr. Alderman Humphery, and &e 1. ..

It clear that every elector could not be personally repre 'th"itedin the Council of the nation, and he believed that in • haeip(reserit instance the electors of the borough of Southwark ~ . ..., (Hee a o lleague , 20,, ho ;; . confided the duty of representing them to himself andhis merely because they held their own opinions. til os ''' hear.) He should like to say a word or Iwo upon G _ v e e questions which 'brouolit them there that day. The ~ o rnrnent had of late felt that the taxes now toned upon leteouotry were inadequate to its expenses, and when the ncellcr of the Exchequer had introduced his budget, the osee t4at e' s . o ' anxiety was felt as to the means by which he pro ;7no t increase the revenue. The Ministry had announced. Zo se that occasion their determination not to add to the .as d taxes, which had already been raised 10 per cent., or ; t o o :de to the direct burdens of the country. They proposed, „, .. ime, for • cooo re vere that foreign sugar should be introduced .into this interest" not in such a way as to annihilate the West India an increased duty of 50 per cent. was to be M by upon foreign sugar. The community at large would ", ~it i that means, he believed, be enabled to purchase sugar at ' it te t h ehe • attepound less ' than at present. They were also to have an from Canada ; it „ fro Per timber. It was said that they had now cheap timber now, for his part, lie had never used thattimber, of eer y never should, for he found that it lasted only from of i n o tY to thirty years, when it became unfit in the building u ses. He always used Baltic timber, and the Govern sentoproproed to reduce the duty upon that timber. The . too l vas immediately o posed. Next came the great ques- ref the C orn -l aws . '1 he Ministry found that we had , ' duringtete the last y ear , i m ported nearly 3,000,000 of quarters of of v i ten corn, the greater part of which was admitted at a duty 3 : They were anxious that wheat should be introduced at a n d e LY or Bs. per quarter, which they thought would be a fair an. !moderate arrangement. For his part he was oppo sed to r e il e _ u ntY at all; but it was supposed that a proposal to that b oh T r uould have raised too oreat an opposition. The land ger : ' of the House took the alarm at the Itlinisterial mea ' ax !d upon their entire policy the Government had three 'pr rel influe ntial bodies opposed to them—they had the West India prietore, and the shipowners and the landowners. an parties combined together, and called upon Sir R.

Under this state of things the V, Tnerel- , .ant s could never furnis h the p eo p le with new and l ' o c'o wheat at a low price. — ( Hear, ' hear.) Much had, ii ntee`tt said of the prudence of Sir Robert Peel. The Right been 13aronet was no doubt a ma n of g reat dexterity, as had atod he Lord Stanley upon the occasion of a late divi 'tr' in the House of' Commoni , upon 'a Railway Bill. Lord h s `'lev, i 0 was opposed to the Right Hon. Baronet t e ' r e t the subj e ct,s and who was never a very well tempered man, sat that the re was no man in that House who could dress up ' li st4 teniet i t so dexter •ouely as his,Right Hon.

When the Government proposed East, Indian and West Indian Rurn, ta b o r t d i Stanley, with a l argo portion of his party, opposed the e e , il, but the speech of Sir Robert Peel upon that occasion o " e rved • •o 'don. He said that he held no . rive, an attentive consi eras tl ie r e r tO either in the East Indies \Pr in the West Indies, and, Nis -e ' r e , he had no interest or feeng, but for the consumer. ii ii l v s what could be better than that?

In his opinion, property, CITY ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) The nomination of candidates to represent the City of Lon don took place this day in the Guildhall, and the interest ex cited surpassed anything we remember to have witnessed at any previous election. From an early hour the neighbourhood of the Guildhall presented an appearance of much bustle and excitement, crowds being congregated in King-street and all the avenues leading thereto, and in front a the Guildhall a splendid brass band, wearing the colours of the Liberal candi dates, entertained those who, regardless of the " pelting of the pitiless shower," maintained their posts close to the entrance gates. A strong body of the metropolitan police, under the personal superintendence of Mr. D. W. Harvey, were stationed at the doors, and around the hustings, and by their exertions contributed not a little to the preservation of order during the day. The Sheriffs, Messrs. Farneombe and Gibbs were in at tendance at halt-past ten o'clock, and at eleven the doors were thrown open to the public. In a very few minutes the Hall was crowded in every part, and it was a universal subject of complaint that the greater portion of those oho obtained places in the neighbourhood of the platform, to the exclusion of the Liverymen, were " long shore men," and hired ruffians, who certainly earned their wages by the uproarious and turbulent manner in which they conducted themselves during the da y . On the platform we observed the veteran Reformer George Byng, Esq., the late Member for Middlesex, who was cor dially congratulated by many of the gentlemen around .him. Alderman Ilurnshery and Benjamin Wood, Esq., the newly elected Members for Southwark, arrived shortly after the commencement of the proceedings, and on being recognised by the vast assemblage in the body of the hall, were bailed with thunders of applause. The galleries were filled with ladies, and the platform, which was reserved for the candidates and their friends was densely crowded in every part. At half-past eleven o'clock Lord John Russell presented himself in front of the platform, leaning on the arm of Mr. Samuel Gurney. The Noble Lord was loidly and enthusi astically cheered, as was also Sir Matthew Wood and other_of the candidates on being recognised by the crowd. On the left of the hall the celebrated Capt. Atcherley ob tained possession of one of the raised benches, and amused the electors by haranguing them at some length previously to the commencement of the proceedings. He held a paper in each hand, which he flourished with ' ereat vigour, and amidst the cheering and laughter with which his address was received, we understood him to >ay that they ought not to allow any elec tion to take place there that day—that they ought to hoot and hiss the Sheriffs and the candidates off the platform as soon as they appeared—that there should be a partition of the national property throughout the country among all her Majesty's sub jects—and that nothing would benefit the people but universal suffrage. The uproar and confusion in the body of the hail continued increasing up to twelve .o'clock, the mob amusing themselves occasionally by hooting or cheering the several candidates, while Mr. Atcherley at interval', as recovered breath, gave vent to SOME' sally which convuleed those in his immediate neighbourhood with laughter. At twelve o'clock proclamation having been made in the usual form, Mr. Putter came forward and read the writ.of elec tion and the Act for the prevention of bribery and corruption, but it was all a scene of dumb-show, in consequence of the up roar which prevailed. Mr. Peoxiass came forward, and was received with loud cheers, mingled with hooting and hissing, which lasted for some minutes. He said—Gentlemen, we are met together for the purpose of exercising the great privilege we enjoy of returning four Members to Parham( nt.—( Cheers.) By the proper exercise of that right we secure to ourselves the purity of our constitution—the liberty of our own persons, and the enactment of salutary laws.—( Cheers and uproar.) We must not forget, Gentlemen, that a great many of our countrymen have not got the same privileges we have, and therefore we must exercise it as a sacred trust, with a view to benefit them as well as ourselves.—(Loud cheers.) 'We must not surren der our votes to any trifling solicitation , and least of all must we surrender it to authority or intimidation.—(Vehement cheering.) Gentlemen, the business of this day is necesarily of a formal nature—you will be occupied a lon g time, and therefore I shall not attempt to de tain y ou further than by re minding you that the battle we have to tight is that of free Trade —(Tremendous cheering)—and the exemption of taxation of the many for the benefit of the few.—( Renewed cheering.) Gentlemen, the watchword of these two parties is "Mono poly," and " No monopoly."—(Cheers and great uproar.) Gentlemen, on the free trade side—on the anti-monopoly side, I beg leave to propose the true, tried, and trusty veteran, Sir Matthew Wood.—( Enthusiastic cheering.) Gentlemen, I have a right to call him true and tried, for on this very day he terminates the services of a quarter of a century. in soliciting, promoting, and advancing the interests, political civil, and commercial, of his fellow-citizens —( Loud cheers.) Gentle men, the last time I proposed him here, he told you what he would do, and it is because he has faithfully kept his word that I propose him again.—(Tremendous cheering and uproar.) Mr. Meow; came forward to second the nomination. He said—Gentlemen, the two Members for the borough of South wark are here—they have been already returned to the Reform Parliament.—(Vehement cheering.) You are now called on to add four to their number, and choose those who will truly represent you.—(Cries of " We will," and much cheering.) Vete for all the four Liberal candidates—no split votes—the man who in such a contest as this splits his vote splits his prin ciples.—(Great cheering and much uproar.) Remember this is a great contest a contest between pri ciples. Remember you are called upon to choose between two systems—one of which shall increase your taxa tion, and the other, which shall unchain your interests, and make this country what she ou g ht to be, " Great, glorious, and free," and the mistress of to e civilised world. Gentle. men, there are four candidates before you on the one side— there are only three on the other. W here's Alderman Pirie ? -_(Great cheering and laughter, and a voice in the crowd, " He has got the gout.") Let the other three retire with him with the gout also, or without it.—(Laughter and cheer ing.) No doubt they are respectable, worthy, and honour able men, but we want more than that. We want men who will do as Sir Matthew Wood has done ; who will support Lord J. Russell and the Administration. Alderman Wood has represented you in nine Parliaments, and I now call on you to re turn him for the tenth thne—(Mucls cheering.) beg leave to second his nomination. JoHN TRAvans, Esq., then came forward to propose Mr. Crawford, and was most enthusiastically cheered. He said—Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in proposing to you as one of your representatives in the ensuing Parliament, William Crawford, Esq. I need not tell you he has been on of your most faithful representatives hitherto. —(Cheering.) Ile is a man of large cominet cial experience. He is one of our first commerefal authorities.—(Cheers.) He is an advocate of free and unrestricted trade, and has been so during the whole of his life.— (Cheri s.) He is, therefore, from principle, consistency, and humanity, the advocate of that proposition which has been brought forward by her Majesty's Ministers— ( Gr eat cheering)—a measure, upon the carrying out of which de pends very much the safety of our country from internal com motion.—(Cheers and confusion.) Gentlemen, I see you are oat in:ahumour to hear me, and I will therefore simply content myself with nominating William Crawford, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the City in Parliament. Mr. Gnecosote seconded the nomivation of Mr. Crawford, and said—Gentlemen, in Mr. Craw ford you will find an able fellow-citizen and an excellent Member.—( Cheers.) He is the advocate of all measures that are calculated to increase com merce and create free trade. He is also in favour of providing abundance of food for the people.—(Cheers.) I hope, there fore, the citizens of London will support him with their vetes.— ( Cheers, and cries of " We will.') I recommend himipeculiarly to you gentlemen as the commercial candidate for tl.e city. Mr. PRESCOTT then came forward to propose Mr. Pattison as a fit and proper person to represent the City of London in Parliament. - I strongly recommend him for your suffrages. He does not come before you for the Bret time.—(Cheers.) I can therefore refer you to his votes as the best reason for supporting hira.—( Cheers.) He ir is ti the advocate for free trade.— (Great cheering. ) He is the staunch supporter of the rights of the people. (Renewed cheering.)

We are opposed by those who are pledged to forward. eertain interests, but we are for the interests of the people.— (Cheers). It is not for me now to detain you after you hare had sixteen speeches—(Laughter)—but I will state to you—l again repeat that, whenever yon call on me to render you any ser vice, be you rich or not, I win be your friend—to serve you is a reward to me. I know you will be at sour post to-morrow.. The Hon. Baronet then retired amidst the most enthusiastic cheering). Mr. CRAWFORD theh came forward, and was received with great cheering. Gentlemen; lam here on these hustings for the fourth time ; you have elected me on three various occa sioas in a manner most triumphant. ( Cheers.) I am sure the present`' eontest will be equally so--not only fur my.elf o lant my honourable colleagues also; we are opposed to four determined Tories in every respect. if you want proof, read their advertisement of this inorning, they are Tories and nothing , but Tories.—(Great cheering.) The flimsy veil that covered their declarations at their various meetings is in accordance with that advertisement, but do not he deceived by such pretences.— , (Cheers and- uproar.) It is true they have called in the aid of the Poor-law Amendment Bin. Is there one of theM, who, if he takes my place, will dare to tell you—( The conclusion of the sentence was lust in cheers and uproar which. followed.) No; he will .not dare to tell Sou so.—(Loud cheers.) Thentalk to-day of defending the corporation) of this city.—(Uproar) The prinniele is want ing, and I would desire no better proof than the flimsy mani festo they have issued forth this rrorning. It is now eight years ago since I was first ineturne 1 to the House of Com mons.—(Cheers.) I need not repeat to . you my particular principles, I trust they have been consistent—(Loud cheers) and I hare never for one instant swerved from them.—(Loud cheering and uproar.) I will not give way to any one.—(Great cheering.) You have been told this MOlning that the measures proposed by her Maie , tY's Ministers, had they been carried would have brought different tradesinto collision—(uproar)—and they mean to talk that nonsense to you.--(Cheere end uproar.) What they say is monopoly.—(Uproar.) Gentlemen, I have tried to teunt my opponents into something like an expression of their political opinions. I have tried to make them speak the language of plain truth, and you will presently hear whether they can ,do so or not.—(Cheers.) I thank you for having so well heard me. I look forward to the issue of this contest w ith confidence, and I feel assured that you win judge me for the future by what I have done in the past.—(Much cheering.) Mr. PATTIS&N next presented himself, and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. The applause was, as in almost every other instance, mingled with cheering, hooting, and hiss ing, and it was only by cur immediate soutiguity to the lion. Gentleman and the candidate.; who followed him that we were able to catch their observations, the none continuing without intermission, and the uproar at times being absolutely deafen ing. He said, Gentlemen, I fearlessly ask you again to return me to Parliament.l Gentlemen, 1 never made a profes sion that I have not fulfilled, End when - I recollect the nume-. rous meetings we have attended during the last week, and the enthusiasm with whicht he advocates of the Liberal cause were received, I feel perfect confidence as to the result.—( Tremen dous cheering.) I feel confident that the constituency of the City of London will never return Tories.—( Great cheering, and cries of " Never.") No, you never will.—(Renewal cheering.) I am satisfied, Gentlemen, that the Tories will find themselves to be monstrously minaken.—(Laughter.) Gentlemen, my public conduct is before you. I have voted for the Extenston of the Suffrage. I have voted for the Ban lot.—(Loud cheers.) I have voted for the abolition of Church • rates, and for the repeal of the Septennial Act ; and if you return me to Parliament, I shall at all times advocate the same measures.—( Great cheering and uproar.) Gentlemen, I shall give my best support to the great measures brought forward by her Majesty's Government—measures which are calculated to do great good to the country at large.—(Much cheering. ) I am convinced that the country will ultimately carry them, and that they will no longer allow themselves to be taxed in order to pay for dear bread.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) The coun try will no longer submit to that state -of things—(Cries of " No, no,")—and I feel satisfied that the measures of the Go vernment will ultimately succeed. Gentlemen, I hall con clude by requesting that you will be early at the poll to morrow morning.—( Great cheering.) Mr. G. Lyesoo then came forward, and the uproar was re newed. We understood him to say that with regard to the measures brought forward by her Majesty's Ministers, he deeply regretted that they should have been made the instruments of agitation and pclitical warfare. He said-1 have been charged with being a monopolist, but I am very much surprised that such an accusation should have been made against me in the City of London, it having been my chief business in my public life and conduct to counteract the progress of Monopoly, and the removal of all vexatious restrictions and obstacles to free and unrestrained commercial intercourse. On the subject of the Cern-laws 1 can only Fay that I have been always an advocate for a modification of the duty.—(Hear, hear.) As to the extent to which that modification should he carried, generally speaking, my views coincide with tho eof the late lamented Mr. Huskisson. With respect to our colonial and other interests, it is impossible to enter into details connected with these subjects at a meeting like the pre sent, but I pledge myself, if returned to Parliament, to devote my best attention to such measures as may be conducive to the interests of the country.—( Great cheers, and uproar. ) Mr. W. ATTIVOOD then came forward to address the elec tors, and to describe the scene of confusion that ensued, would be almost impossible. Many minutes elapsed before he could sayn word. D urine; the whole of the El on. G e ntleman's speech such was the noise and confusion that not half of it could i be heard. We understood him to say that he was prou 1 of having the op portunity of presenting himself to the Livery of London that day as a candidate for thehonour of representing the-metropolis of England in Parliament.—(Great noise and confusion.) He appealed to the Livery whether such conduct was falr. Was it candid or was it English to interrupt a man when in a public meeting he was enxiou; to expla'n his opinions ? What were the circumstances under which he, and those with whom he was associated, presented themselves as candidates for the representation of the City of London? Those circumstances mere of ros ordinary description, because they took place at a time when the people were called upon to determine whether they would support one or other of the great parties in the State.—( Great confusion.) Who placed them in that position ? Why, the Government of the country, who had been de:eated in the House of Commons—(Cries of '• Yes, but only by a majority of one")—they had lost the confidence and re spect of the people, and under 'those circumstances they had appealed to them for their suffrages. (Great uproar.) Could the Ministers in the present contest appeal to their past con duct ?—(Cries of" Yes, they can.") lie would unhesitatingly assert that they could not. They had no chance of remaining much longer as a Government, and they were determined to re • sort to every - expedient they could to retain power, but it would not do.— ( Great -uproar and confusion.) They had raised the cry of cheap bread and free trade, but they would not find the object they had in view advanced by their appeal. The promises which Ministers have made you are only in tended for election purposes. They ask your support, not for your sake, but for ther own, and that too under false pretences. (Mr. A ttwood continuedno address the tumultuous assemblage, amidst groans, hisses, and the emission of sounds of every kind, such as at times meet one's ears in a menagerie. He was, in consequence quite inaudible during the greater portion of his speech.) To-morrow the great contest would take place, and if they did their duty he had no fear for the result. He was sa tisfied the intelligent citizens of London were not to be deluded by the fallacies of their opponents. The lion. Gentleman was understood to conclude by complaining of the differeut reception he had nut with to the other candidates, and of the want of free discussion.--n(Cries of " Look at your hired mob.") He would only further say, that he knew to-morrow the result would be different, and that the Conservative candidates would then achieve a triumph.—(Cheers, and great confusion.) J. MASTERMAN, Esq., then came forward, but was also quite inaudible. We understood bins to say that he ap peared before them:to solicit the honour of beingplaced in the dignified situation of ooe of their representatives. He had done so at the request of numerous influen tial individuals, or otherwise be should have shrunk rom the important duties that would devolve upon ham in such a crisis. He assured them he should lend his best aid in sup porting Conservative principles, feeling assured that a Go vernment conducted on those principles would be most condu cive to the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the country. (The remainder of the Hon. Gentleman's observa tions were altogether lost in the tumult that prevailed in the hall.) Lord Jotter RUSSELL then came forward, and was received with the most deafening cheers. The Noble Lord said—l , come here at the request of a numerous body of the electors of the City of London, to ask for the honour of representing it in Parliament; and I trust that my inability to do so as regards my acquaintance with its local interests will be compensated by my advocacy of those great principles, of which I am here as the representative. Allow me to allude shortly to the question upon whicn the elec tors of the city of London are called on to decide. Yon are called upon to express your opinions by your repreeentativesne Parliament respecting matters deeply important to the trade and industry of the country.—(Prodigious cheers.) Her Ma jesty's Ministers have proposed a plan to diminish the restric tions upon trade and Industry, and to lighten the burdens of the people, at the same time that they provide( for the public service of the country—( Hisses and yelling, replied to by the most prodigious cheering, which was kept up throughout the Noble Lord's Address, and rendeaed him for the most part in audible. That proposition is one which, there can be no doubt, will be the plan ultimately adopted.—( Renewed cheers and uproar.) It is for you now to say that you wish for its adop tion—(Cheering)—or you may give another answer to the appeal which is made to you this day, ' and say that you able to bear additional burdens to suppoit those monopolies by which a few a-e benefited at the expense of the comtnnnity.—(Cheering and grest interruption still continued, with the loudest possible tumult.) There is another answer which you may give, and that is, that you are so favour able to those monopolies that you are ready to support them at the expense of great additional burdens—(Continued tumult, and most enthusiastic cheering)—if you are prepared to give that answer then you will elect the persons who till give your Sovereign this advice—for it is this alone you have to decide here, whether you will consider it right to approximate to the principles of free trade, or endure your present burdens, with a great adnitien to them.—(Continued tumult, in which the cheering vastly predominated, completely drown ing all the yells of the' Tories, and, we must say; also the Noble Lord's voice.) If you do so you will show that the city of London on this subject has no opinion, and that the trade and industry of the country is of no import ance to you—or else that you hare such confidence in our op ponents that you will leave the question to them to be decided. But they only shake their heads and tell you that you will see bye and bye what good things they will do. There are many other political questions which have nothing whatever to do with the present contest, because upon these questions, we are agreed with our political opponents, and upon which the sentiments of Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and Lord Stanley, are the same as our own. Therefore, as re gards these questions, whether you elect our opponents or the four Reform candidates, the result will be the same. For instance, with regard to the Poor-law Bill, it was introduced and advo cated by Lord Althorpe, by Lord Stanley, and by Sir James Graham, and it was supported in Parliament by the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel.--(Cheers.) Therefore, ;aansfodr,,t‘v whether with regard to that question, there is scarcely any distinction between the candidates who are offered to your choice. :With regard to the question of the privileges of Parliament, e e l r l efor b e y , Gen o t u l r emen po , l a it s ic re a .. l .ds these questions, and others of a similar character, they are not those upon which the two contending parties now be forey privileges of Parliament, our opponents take theygopa you not- opponents differwere s bi supporte dyano yourselves; rrsee ri ii eat the same line as ourselves, and they are ready to maintain and to with regard to the modify them as we are; there:ore, there is no question in this election with respect to laws of that nature. You are Peor-laws, or the therefore, to turn your attention to those questions upon which we have appealed to the people, and upon which you are called upon to decide. It has been said and made a subject of grave complaint, that these measures have been brought forward in order to prop up and preserve in office a falling Minis try. The same statement was made against the Reform Bill. It was rejected by the House of Commons, and an appeal was made to the people, and it was said then, as it is said now, that it was in order to prevent the Ministry from being turned out of office that Lord Grey, Lord Althorpe (now Lord Spencer), Lord' Durhem, Lord Palmerston, and myself, made that appeal to the people. I have been many years in Parliament, and have had my full 41are of tower ; and having had that share of power, et has —( Great cheering.) Gentlemen, the object of thosesmeasures is to remove from the commerce of the country the trammels that now fetter it, and thus give free scope to British industry and capital.—(Cheers.) The question now lies between free trade on the one side, and monopoly on the other.—(Cheers). Gentlemen, electors of this great metropolis, give on the pre sent occasion a solemn proof of your faith in the constitutional principles -which her Majesty's Government have advanced. Support them, and give them the means of advancing civil and religious liberty and cheap government.—(Loud cheers). Mr. T. BARING next came forward, and spoke as follows — (the cheers and tremendous uproar that prevailed through the Ball, rendered him, as almost all the other speakers, very frequently quite inaudible) :—Fellow-citizens,_ I propose to you, as a fit and proper representative for the City of London, George Lyall, Essi.—(Cheers, mingled with hisses, and c r i e s of " No, no, we won't have him," and great confusion, which lasted for come minutes.) At last Mr. Baring was for a mo ment audible, when he said—l put it to the constituency of London, what faith can they have, in a Government, which presses like an incubus upon the resources of the nation? — (The rest of Mr. Baring's speech was unheard, amidst the shouts, hisses, and partial cheers that met him from all sides of the Hell.) Sir CHARLES Peter. was received on his coming forward with the same tumult as his predecessor. lie 'said—l am happy to have an opportunity of seconding the nomination of George Lyall, Esq.—(Cries of " No, no," and " We won't have him.") In the latter part of Sir Charles's speech we understood him to be eulogizing Mr. Lyall as a commercial man, but we could only conjecture at best what were the senti ments delivered by the speaker, so loud and continuous were the cries of " No monopoly, no monopoly." Mr. WILSON next appeared in front of the hustings, and said—l propose Mr. Wolverly Attwood as a fit and proper Re presentative for this great city. He is an honest, an upright, and an able man.—(Here the uproar became so gloat that Mr. \V. retired. ) Mr. ROBINSON' said--. Gentlemen, I second the nomination of Mr. Attwood.—( Hisses. and cries of " Down with mono poly.") Mr. Attwood is kiiown to you by the faithful and zealous discharge of his Parliamentary duties.—(Cries of " Turn him cut.") I believe the result of the City election will be the return of four Conservative Members. And looking at the immense interest that this election will exercise on the other elections of the country, I exhort you to use your utmost. exertions to return the Conservative candidates.—(Cries cf " Cheap sugar.") Why did not the Government bring forward those measures of which they talk so much last year. They brought them forward a few short days before.—(The rest of the sentence was lost in the uproar.) Air. Robinson went on to say, I wont occupy your time.—(Cries of "it's no manner of use ;" " sit down," &c.) Mr. Eados then came forward to propose John Masterman, Esq, as a fit and proper person to represent the City in Par liament, but the confusion that prevailed was such, that not a word that was uttered by either the prOposer or seconder Of the Hon. Gentleman was audible. Mr. HIBBARD seconded the nomination. S. J. LLOYD, Esq. then came forward, and was received with enthusiastic cheers, which lasted for several minutes, and which being continued at interval; with .considerable confusion throughout his speech, rendered him frequently inaudible even to those immediately around him. The Hon. Gentleman said he would not long trespass on their attention. The pur pose for which be was there before them, was to propose as a fit and proper person to represent them in the ensuing Parliament, one of the most distinguished patriots that this country or any age ever produced.—(Loud cheer ing.) His name was that of a true Englishman, Lord John Russell—(Loud cheers)—a man whose strength and dignity of character Was an honour and blessing to his country.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman was then supposed to advert to the measures of the Government which had led to the dissolution of Parliament, and said his only anxiety was that the nature of the question should be under stood. The Tories had endeavoured to mislead their judg ments on this subject, at which he was not much surprised, but lie was satisfied the people would not be misled to the detri ment of their best interests.—(Cheers.) An important crisis had now arisen, both commercial and financial, a crisis which, if properly improved, would relieve them from grievous oe pression and hateful monopoly—(Cheers)—and substitute in their stead legitimate taxation. He asked them whether this should be the ease, or whether they would further countenance unjust imposts, unequally imposed for the purpose of giving an unfair benefit to particular classes at the sacrifice of the public aDd the general good, at a sacrifice necessarily involving that of the flee industry of the people.—(Cheers.) That was the question, asd he challenged any one of the candidates that day to meet him and deny it.— (Cheers.) That was alone the question on which Parliament was dissolved, and en which they we; e called to decide. They had three candidates already propoard to theM, and those can didates eppealed to them on tie ground of long connection and valued services.—( Cheers.) It was his (Mr. L.'s) high and honourable province to propose in conjunction with teem a fourth individual, who carne there recommended by his inte grity, talents, public services, and public character, to the gra titude arid support of every class of his countryincin—(Loud cheers.) He (Lord J. Russell) came amongst them that day bringing with him, as his great and honoured credentials, those just, and good, and righteous measures, which were abso lutely necessary for the safety of the country.—( Chet rs. ) He rejoiced to hear their shouts of approbation, for he was mire they were prophetic, that they should send the Noble Lordback in triumph to St. Stephen's.—(Loud sheers.) Gentlemen, Lord John Russell comes here, having passed a long life in arduous exertions and in splendid efforts, to establish, on a firm basis, the civil and religious liberties of this country . He comes here at the end of ten years, spent in developing the just and holy fruits of that great constitutional measure, hey which you possess your privileges, and which he proposed to the country. Ile comes now, proposing to carry the true and wise principles of gradual reform into all the regulations of tomrnerce and of finance. It was not to be supposed that, in undertaking this great task, we should not be opposed by a host of arrayed interests—it was not to be supposed that we should not have to fight the hard and anxious battle of truth against error, of good against evil.—( cheers.) We knew that we should have, what I here on the present occasion, mo nopolists of every description, individuals profiting by particular protections of class interest, however contradictory to each other, combining to resist the onward march of the public good and of their country's welfare. But in what, Gentlemen, do we trust? We trust in upright intentions—we trust in the innate strength and gigantic resources of a good cause—we trust, above all—and if that trust fails us our country's fate is sealed—we trust in the intelligence and in the public spirit, and in the self devotion of a free and an intelligent community. I propose Lord John Russell, not as our opponents have most unjustly and unfairly insinuated in their public documents, be cause he is the dispenser of place and patronage, but because he is the proposer and promoter of just and goad and. wise mea sures—measures upon which it is my solemn and deep convic tion that the future fate of this country as a great, as a power ful, and as a happy nation depends. Gentlemen, the cause which is now entrusted to your hands is one of momentous importance. Now never let this great truth be lost sight or, that a commercial and manufacturing country cannot, like an agricultural one, remain stationary.—(Loud cheers.) The moment when we cease to advance we begin to retrograde ; and in proportion as our progress in wealth, in prosperity and in happiness has been great and wonderful, so when once that progress stops will our onward career be fearfully disastrous. This is a consideration to make every thinking man reflect deeply ; to surrender his party interests, and devote himself to the support of measures essential, and undenied by our oppo nents to be essential, to the public welfare.—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will detain you no longer. I have dis charged my duty in this most important crisis of public affairs in proposing to you Lord John Russell, and I now call upon you as public men and as citizens to grant to ham your support, for the purpose of giving him that weight, that influence, that authority and that power, by which alone corrupt interests, and a combination of class monopolists, can be brought down ; and the barriers, formidable and strong, which are raised to the progress of this country, can be broken down. I firmly believe that in the measures now proposed the fate of this country is indissolubly bound up, and that it rests. with the constituencies now to decide whether the feature fate of England shall be one of gradual decay, or of glorious and augmented prosperity. May Heaven preside over your deci sions, and may they tend to realize that which is the object of our daily prayers, that " peace and happiness," that " truth," and, above all, that " justice," may be established throughout the land.—(Great cheering.) Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY then came forward and said, we are met this day to elect representatives for the ensuing Parlia ment ; and i esteem it to be a great privilege for this city that I am permitted on the present occasion to second the nomina tion of Lord John Russell.—( Cheers.) Fellow citizens,—On looking back upon the few past years of my life, 1 am quite certain that the prosperity of this great metropolis has been essentially promoted by - the enlightened policy in which Lord John Russell has taken so prominent a part.-4 Cheers.) This is the true basis of our electing representatives on the present occasion. Genial prosperity has been the result of that policy. If this metropolis be the heart of this empire, and if this em pire be the heart of the world , tha t prosperity has extended not only to the metropolis, but all over the world. There are some points in that pol;cy to which I would particularly allude. I allude to matters of the most enlightened philosophy, coupled with the most enlighted philanthropy. Such objects have always received the powerful support of Lord J. Russell. If I take the subject of the education of the pourer classes of this country I find in Lord John Russell one who has undeviatingly sup ported the education and improvement of those classes. If I take the poor oppressed black, there again we have in Lord John Russell a . powerful and consistent friend•of the neg ro.— In all matters of enlightened philanthropy, Lord John Russell has always held the most distinguished place.—(Tremendous cheering, with yellug and hooting for some minutes.) I know that gentleman who are proposed to your suffrages, on the opposite side, are men of great integrity and respectability— (Hisses, cheers, and renewed tumult.) But 1 believe that the policy which has been promoted by that party would not tend so much to the advantage, wealth, and prosperity of this great metropolis.—(lnterruption). I can never believe that the great principles of enlightened policy would have re ceived the same support if the party supported by the four gen tlemen who are offered on the other side were in power, as they have received from the Government of which Lord John Rus. sell has been for the last ten years so distinguished a member. — (Vehement cheering.) It is for that reason I now come for ward to recommend Lord John Russell to your suffrages, and. to second the motion.—(Tremendous cheering.) Mr. Alderman Lucas, who was greeted with an astounding volley of groans, yells, laughter, and hisses, mingled with cheers, said—l come forward to offer to your consideration my worthy friend Mr. Alderman Pirie, as the most fit and proper person to represent you in Parliament. -(Renewed uproar.) The commercial knowledge and long experience of my worthy friend are well known, and it is unnecessary for me to trespass on your time by dwelling on that subject.—(Laughter, groans, hisses, and cries of " Capt. 'Puckett.") You will best consult your own interests by electing my worthy friend.—(Renewed tumult)—and I hope you will do yonrselves justice, and credit to the city of London by returning him to Parliament.—( Re peated yells and shouts of laughter followed the worthy Alder man front the hustings, and continued for several minutes after.) Mr. PIERCE came forward to second the nomination. Al though we stood close by the side of this gentleman, and he seemed to exert his voice to the utmost, we could not for some time hear a word he uttered amidst the din of yells and hooting with which he was saluted. We understood him to say that Mr. Alderman Pirie was presented by illness from presenting him self on that occasion to the electors, and he hoped that his teis ortune in that respect would not damage him in the estimation of the constituency. It would be gratifying to him at any time o second the nomination of such a mar, as a candidate for the -epresentatisn of the City of London, but on the present occa sion that gratification (as we understood) was enhanced by the ,nature of the contest, and the principles which were involved it. [Bete the tumult of groans, hooting, cheers, whistling, and of every noise of which the human voice is capable, 'com pletely drowned every word which the Honourable Gentleman's utmost force of lungs could attain, and atter some time spent in dumb show, he retired from the hustings.] Sir Mairrnew WOOD then came forward, and was received with tremendous cheering, which lasted for several minutes. As soon as silence had in some measure been restored; the Hon. Baronet spoke as follows :—Brother Electors, herel am again, for the tenth time.—(Loud cheering.) Is it your wish that I should again be returned e—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes," and great cheering. ) I have no professions to make to you. I will do as I have done for the last quarter of a century that have been in your service—(Loud cheering)—l wilt defend your rights.—( Cheers.) The questions which have interested you all, are those which I have always promoted and sup ported. Freedom o f trade, freedom of conscience I have al ways upheld, let the p erson be of what reli g ion he mi g ht; and lam ready to do so egatn.—( A faint hiss.) You may hiss , but I ant.--(Loud c heers.) You will tell a different story to. :col our fate to ipropose and carry measures which ware not palateable at the time. That is not the case at the present occasion. lam asking the opinion of the citizens of London, upon the great principles of free trade, to which her Ma jesty's Itßoisters arc at present engaged. We have been the advocates first of . civil and religious liberty. In yur suance of that object, backed by the Reformers of the United Kingdom, we carried the repal of the Test and Corporation Acts ; afterwards, by means of the same spirit, we effected the repeal of the Catholic, Disabilities; and I am quite pre • pared to destroy . ail persecutions _which .now remain. —(Hear hear.) With respect :te. civil and political free dom, I have been On advocate--a successful advocate for exter.ding the franel 'ae of the people and the 101. house holders throughout the '' 'dual, and obtained the franchise through our successful e oils in passing the Reform MI. Still there remains the most important question, the question of com mercial freedom. It is our purpose to carry out that freedom as 1 far as it can be done with safety and with prudence. cur object is to set free as far as possible the commerce and industry of the country--(Continued cheering)—so that Eng land map become, as she ought to be, the greatest amour., the nations of the world. I will ask the electors of Lmlen, whether you are prepared for the imposition of new taxes, in order to meet the exigencies of the State, or on the contrary, are you prepared to see the navy of this count' y inferior at sea to the other nations of the world? lam sure you are not. We must maintain oar supremacy, because it is absolutely necessary. I feel that ourprinciples are sound, and however much they may be at present caballed against, I feel (Fite certain that whoever may Le 11Iinister those principles mutt be carried. These are principles which were introduced into legislation long ago by Mr. Huskisson, they are sound principles, and it now remains for the electors of the United Empire to carry them into effect.— ( Hear, hear.) Itlonopoly is Hain tallied merely because monopoly is ga'n to the few. but hurtful to the many. It is upon these principles that we a k the suffrages of the electors of London. If you are pre , pared to carry them out, these principles must now he predo minant; if not, I feel perfectly certain that this must lecome law at a very early period. Upon these principles I stand, and fearlessly 1 leave the result in your hands. Alderman Lucas appeared for Alderman Pirio; and apolo gised for the absence of the Hon. Alderman, on the score of ill health. lie would do kis duty, if he was elected for the City of London, with honour and integrity. - . .... - • Ir. HARKER then, undo - the direction of the Sheriff put the question, r ailing upon the electors who were in favour of Sir Matthew Wood, to hold up their hands. About three-fourths of those present hekl up their hands amidst loud and vociferous cheering. For Mr. Crawford and Mr. Pattison, the numbers were nearly the same. For Mr. Lyall, Mr. Attn-ood, and Mr.- Masterman, the numbers were about one third, and nearly _ one-half ; and for Lord John Russell the whole assemblage appeared to be unanimous, every hand being held up amidst the loudest and enthusiastic cheer ing, which lasted for some minutes, and, during which, Alder man Pirie's name was put up, arid passed over alniost . without observation. _ _ _ . A p.II was then demanded on behalf of al the candidates, which the Sheriff appointed to take place to•morrow - morning at eight o'clock, and to close in the afternoon at four o'clock.. HARKER, the Crier of the Hall, then announced the different places at which the poll would be taken, and the va t assemblage then dispersed. Lord J. Russell, on quitting the platform, was most enthu siastically cheered. GENERAL ELECTIONS. (FROM. A CORRESPONDENT. ) Mo !MITI!. -Day of election, June 29. Candidates-Hon Captain Howard.

A correspondent has furnished us with the particulars of a deed of intended murder, for the sake of plunder, scarcely se cond in villainy to that which occurred in Ludlow last August. The scene of this new crime was at. the foot of Lilleshall Hill, on the road from Newport to the Ironworks at Donnington Word, in the county of Salop, close adjoining the village of and the seat of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire. Mr. Britain, a respectable grocer at Newport, has been accustomed for Many years to supply the chartermasters at Donnineton with the cash in silver and copper received by him weekly, varying from 501. to 1001., for the purpose of paying the men employed in the ironworks. This money was usually sent on the Friday, in a light cart, in the custody of one of Mr. Britain's servants. Some time ago a married man, named 'lhomas Simms, was en trusted with this charge, but having left Mr. Britain's ser vice he commenced the business of selling fruit in the town and neighbsurhood of Newport. Latterly the charge was en traced to a young man, named Benjamin Nicholls, a servant in the employ of Mr. Britain ; and with this fact the former servant, Simms, MIS perfectly acquainted. On Friday week, owing to some delay, the money was not forwarded as usual ; hut about eight o'clock on Saturday morning Nicholls was despatched to the ironworks on horseback, having 101. copper slung across the saddle, and a lumber sum if 51. in copper secured on the pommel of the saddle, on the Pop of which was placed 501. in silver, tied up in a shot bag. He arrived at Lilleshall Hill about nine o'clock, and on passirg a stile which terminated a footpath leading from the top he was accosted by Simms, who crossed over the stile, 'and asked Nicholls where he was going ? He re plied tint he was going to Donnington works. Simms then crossedthc road from left to right, behind the horse, say ing that he was going towards Wellington ; and placing his left hand on the animal, walked side by side for a short time. On a sudden Simms exclaimed," Look! what's oa the hill?" and immediately drew forth a hammer, a pound weight, and inflicted two tremendous blows on Nicholl's head. Fortunately for the young man he did rot turn his head in the direction of the bill, fearing that the money might fall from the saddle, otherwise the blows must have fallen on his temple ; as it was, the blows were received on his forehead, and be- became powerleas and stunned, but (:1:1 not fall. The horse immedi ately sprang forward, and the hag cf silver, and the 51. in cop per placed on the s fell to the ground, stud the latter parcel burst, and its contents were scattered on the road. As soon as Nicholls recovered his senses hrgallegied on to Newport, raising an alarm of " !" In the mean time Simms picked up the bag of silver, aild ran up the hill, but meeting a person who had heard the cries of distress, he turned back into the roasl. and escaped. In a few minutes afterwards his wife, Har riet Simms, was seen by persons who had heard tire alarm to descend from the monument at the summit of the bill, which bad been eiected by a grateful tenantry to the memory of the late Duke of Sutherland, and approach the hedge along which her husband had been seen to run. She was observed to kick the long, grass on the margin of the ditch, as if in search of something which bad been dropped ; but notsucceeding, she de perted in the direction of Newport. The intended victim, how ever, succeeded in arriving first at Newport, and having raised a hue and cry, the woman was taken on entering the town. Seve ral of theinhabitauts and police immediately commenced a pur suit I ftcr Simms, and about noon he was taken by .Mr. Preston, a publican, within a few miles of Newport. In formation was then given. to Mr. Baxter, superintendent of police, who made strict search in the vicinity of the place w here the outrage wa s committed ; and, after considerable pains he discoverd the bag of silver concealed in the drain at the foot of the hill. The hammer was also found near the spot. Simms and his wife were then taken before Charles Norris, Esq., a magistrate of the Newport district. In ad dition to the above facts, evidence was given to prove that the prisoners were seen waiting on Lilleshall Hill nearly the whole of Friday, the 'day on which the money was usually conveyed to Donnington. Much astonishment was excited by the fact el the outrage being . committed at such a time on the high way, particularly as it was Newport market day. The pri soners were fully committed for trial at the next assizes, on tie capital charge of highway robbery, accompanied with violence. We arc happy to stags that Nicholls is recovering . from his wounds. — Shrewsbury Paper. Candidate=34 , THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Tranquil at this hour, with groves and & - liades, it seemed filled with that dim, sweet '` melancholiness," which Sydney loved—altogcthttr forming a tran script of that delicious Arcadia, which his ima gination painted. As I walked. through the ver dant alley which leads to the pain of Ruel, I re called to memory all the tcasching incidents which I had treasured in my heart from:Bour rienne and Junot; and ineepresible was the dee light I ,took in these interesting recollections. "No where," says Bourrienne, " except on the field of battle, did I ever see Buonaparte more happy than in the gardens of IVlalmaisoa. At the commencement of the Consulate, we used to go there every Saturday evening, and stay the whole of Sunday, sometimes Monday." Here it was, on those calm and holy Sabbaths, when his sword was scabbarded, and his soul at peace, that the " crowned King of the nations," with child-like simplicity, " listened to the ring ing of belle, which always produced in the mind of Bonaparte pleasurable emotions." " Whilst we were at Malmaison," says Bourrienne, " and walking in the alley that leads to Ruel, how many times has the bell of the village church interrupted our most serious conversations, and. he would stop lest the noise of our footsteps should drown a portion of the delightful sound. So powerful was the effect produced 'upon him by the sound of those bells, that his voice Would faulter as he said, ' Ah, that reminds me of the first years I spent at Brieune! I then was ... happy l" When the bells ceased he would re sume the course of his speculations, carry him ; self into futurity, place a crown on his head, and dethrone kings." • Josephine, witsrwas the very type of elegance, in the graceful carriage of her person, and the exquisite arrangements of her draperies alai robe::, took an especial pride in robing herself in pure white, a mode of fashion which the Eni peror delighted in be ond all others, and day ' and night her queenly and imperial form lent beauty to the bowery arcades around this spot. Bourrienne, on once entering . this delicious re treat, meeting her with Madame de Remuse.t, inquired with respectful solicitation, but Rot with his usual familiariness, respecting the health of the Emperor. "Ala! Bourrienne !" she replied, " I entreat that you will suffer me at least here, to forget that I am an Empress." • My dreamy remembrances would have con tinued much longer, but that the church at Ruel chimed a late hour, and warned me not to linger. The shades of evening were now fast de scending,—the fair lawns were silvering with the evening summer-mists, and a sort of shadowy, pearl-white • veil . was falling from the brow of twilight. As I again retraced my steps through the chateau, 1 almost s poured out my soul in audible lamentations that the cedar-beams of its roofs, and the golden ar chitraves of its chambers might soon share a worse fate under the hands of trading speculators, on whose craniums the bump of veneration was never developed, than if the old Iconoclasts. os• -- - - - • - - • ---a • BRUSSELS, JUNE 9 6.--We ate assured that primitive Goths and Vandals of the land, were the inspection of the British Queen steamer, the purchas' of let loose into its chambers for havoc and destruc which was projected by Belgium, has been made with the most don.

HENLEY REGATTA, JUNE 26.—This cele brated meeting took place on Thursday and yesterday. The arrangements were on the same scale as on former years. J. D. Bishop, Esq., the captain of the London Amateur Scullers' Club, again filled the responsible office of umpire. It will be remembered that the Leander Club of London won the cele brated grand ceplast year ; the number of challenges on the pre sent occasion were six, but from withdrawals were reduced to three, the Trinity College, Oxford, the University College, Oxford, and the Cambridge Subscription-room Club, Lon de:). The trial heat between these was decided about four o'clock, in favour of the Subscription-room, after perhaps as brilliant a race as bad ever been witnessed. Then rand race between the Cambridge and Leander gentlemen, which much excitement prevailed, terminated most disastrously ; the Leander, after rowing about a quarter of a mile, having un fortunatelytbe fauled the Cambridge boat, and thereby losing race, which otherwise would have doubtless been of the n most__ ; exciting nature.
