VENNG PMTTON 4°d starving the p o p u l at i on w h en the seasor_s _ u nfat - ourab!c. Th e Principle, plain and palpable as it is, that Population cannot exceed the supply of food, a nd i s ' only kept from indefinitely increasing 1 that supply being limited, is continually over ooked . by writers. The necessary conse dadce of i t i s that population and food always to keep abreast of each other, and must be, °ll ' the average of any number of years, on the 84 the Ren^e, writers who defend the law Which continually shortens the supply of food, aLlti continually starves down the people to .flit""t Continually can say that it has " insured P eg War and safe supply," that corn has ;h"come cheap, as compared to . 1817, and B at the United Kingdom is little exposed. athe danger of depending on fbreign supply. i how has the nation been kept independent Of`'foreign nations ? How has the average price has much below the price of 1817; and how nas the supply been kept, politically speaking, tsaf safe not regular? . We answer, by starving , te Population, in dear years, down to our own °F supply, and exciting population with lti nl) fearful irregularity, in those abundant years, which the law impiously converts into a the to the husbandman. The phenomena ofsvhich their le advocates boast' as the result of 11 are the consequences of large tur,s 3s " of population being most horribly put to death 'll.l Years of scanty supply, st .

Se l . eral of the Tory Journals have made a gprreat outcry against Lord JOHN RUSSELL, for Theceeding With the Bribery at Elections Bill on to Ill's% evening, after he had entered into a not It3aet, as they say, with Sir ROBERT PEEL,t_e 7,, `) Proceed with it. If the public believe the "II") Strvtdard, and currrier, never did Par iatnentzt . J. x i, 1 3' header behav e so scandalously asLzrl . , 1388111-1-• Sir 11. PEEL himself, however, Steh4ll3 to entertain no such opinion.

RussEu.'s conduct, but not a th 1.4 did h e say. What can we conclude, but ,11,4 t the Tory Journals have poured out un tarranted accusations and reproaches? In fact, i ri °r( l J• Ittsstu., would never think of tak- Qt.anY step of which the Hozi. Baronet, c 'e.d by his majority of one, would diSapprove. cl4lfe.-course he took, therefore, had the Sanction rh' Sir It ' P EEL ; and our Contemporaries have -.lst :t likellly applied observations which were 1146/led to sortie clauses of the Bill, to the Im.t)t 'Measure. It would really became the -`3' Journals to obtain accurate information, before they heap calumny and slander on any In the course of the evening the Report of the Bill was brought up aid agreed to, without Sir ROBERT PEEL, or any Tory Member, saying a single word about the very unlymdsime con duct which the Tory Journals hai discovered. in Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The truth, we believe, is, that some ingenious person about the Times in vented the misrepresentation, and the two hum ble followers of that Journal reptated its errors. " I should not have hesitated," says Sir LIMES GRAHAM", in his address to the electors of Pembroke, " to ask for a renewal of you:- confidence, if circumstances had not occurred which compel me to renounce this high honor." The " circumstances" which the Right Honour able Baronet thus vaguely and mysteriously alludeg to, may be easily explained. He is off and away, to try his luck in Cumberland, being perfectly well aware that Pembroke has had quite. enough of him, and is sick of the very mention of the apostate's name. The Borough, being thus freed from this heavy Tory incubt we trust it will be prompt to torn its freedom the best account. Tithe presses—there is not an hour to spare. The Pembroke electors must bear in mind that while they deliberate, the enemy decide; and they must therefore— like expert, ready tacticians—make thought and decision go hand in hand together. We entreat—we implore them—as they value the blessings of Liberal - Government and mitigated taxation, to lose not an hour in looking about for some candidate worthy of their confidence. Such a one is easily found, air the Anti-monopolists gain daily a vast acces sion to their numbers, while the Monopolists lose it in the same ratio. Is there no member of the Admiralty Board whom the electors can select as a substitute for the heavY-headed Cumber laud Baronet, who, very much against his incli nation, has cut and run from them ? We think they would find little difficulty in suiting them selves from this Boad ? At any rate, let them pick and choose where they will, it is imperatively necessary, above all things, that they be quick in their decision. A weighty responsibility de volves upon them. They have it in their power seriously to injure, or greatly to assist, the pro gress of enlightened principles of Government ; and sure we are that when the time of action arrives—and it is close at hand—they will not be fbund wanting in their duty. We have received a file of the Port Nicholson (New Zealand) Gazette to the 3d of January inclusive. The Colony is represented as very flourishing, considering the short time that has elapsed since its establishment. On the 27th of December the Blenheim, Captain GRAY, which sailed from the Clyde on the 24th or August, arrived safely at Port Nicholson, having on board 150 steerage and 11 cabin passengers. They were all in excellent health. Two children died on the passage out, and six were born. The editor of the Gazette says of these colonists that they are just the men to war with a New Zealand forest, as a few hills or gales of wind will not frighten them out of their propriety. The "London," Captain Sn UTTLEWORTH, also arrived safely at Port Nicholson from the Downs, whence she sailed, on the 19th of August, bringing out 193 - emi grants. Of these 43 were cabin passengers. Rumours of a war between Great :Britain and. France had reached Port Nicholson—aa event (happily without foUndation) which the colonists greatly deplored. A bullock weighing upwards of 9001bs. was slaughtered by one firm to cele brate the Christmas festivities, and the new year was ushered in with the firing of cannon, ringing of bells, and salutes from all the vessels in the harbour. The new colony appears to be very Moral, if we may judge from the absence of all reports of serious offences in the Gazette. The following extract from the " Wholesale Price Current" of the week endin . g the, Ist. of January, 1841, will give our readers an idea of the cost of the necessaries of life, as compared with the wages of labour in the colony.

The news brought by the Madrid papers of the 3d instant, has been anticipated by Thursday's extraordi nary express from Paris. On the Bourse, on the 3d, the Four per Cents. were done at 221, at 60 days. Then were twenty-nine transactions in the Five per Cents., for a sum of 19,800,000 reals, negotiated at 26i for cash, and at 27k to at 60 days. The whole of the French Journals of Thursday have retched us. With the exception of some intelligence from French Africa they contain very little news of in. terest. In the Toulonnais we find a letter from Algiers dated the Ist inst., from which we make the • following extract : "'I he expeditionary column under the command of General Bugeaud is exploring the western part of the Regency, and vainly attempts to come up with Abd-el-Kadcr, who retires before our troops. The last accounts received from the army are dated May 23d. On that day our forces were to enter Tekedempt, which is the capital of the Emir's possessions, the centre of his commerce, his general magazine, and the place where he has established his foundries and mar.ufac tories. Tekcdempt is situated at only a short distance from the desert of Sahara. The prisoners who have resided there all agree in describing the environs of the town as very pre cipitous, and say that lions are seen prowling about at the foot of the ramparts. General Bugeaud at first intended to gain possession of Mascara ; but the Arabs have defeated his intentions by themselves setting fire to the place. A dispute has arisen relative to some French prisoners who are still at Tlemccen. 'the Bishop has sworn to obtain their liberty ; but. General Bar, who commands at Algiers, will not give up the Arabs who are in his p,ivrer. The Arabs made an irruption a few days since at Alaustapha, close to Algiers, and several per sons were carried (4. Al. Rozey and his domestic narrowly escaped being captured by five armed Arabs, who fell on them. 'The horses of the carriage in which they were riding were cut away and carried off. M. Rozey defended himself for some time with his whip, and at length escaped by flight. During the struggle he received a sabre wound in the arm. With the exception of occasional acts of marauding, the plain is tranquil." l'ne Regency, after ten years' occupation by the French, offers few temptations to colonists from Europe. There is something exceedingly unpleasant in owing the preservation of one's head to the agility of one's heels in an encounter with a band of marauding Arabs. A Toulon paper of the 6th inst. publishes the follow ing paragraph : On Tuesday next twelve ships of the line, formed into three divisions. are to sail under the command of Viee-Adini ral Hugaa. The destination of that squadron is unknown; but some persons are of opinion that its departure is connected with the events in the East, which are becoming daily more serious. The sudden return of the divit , ion under the orders of Rear-Admiral Casy gives additional force to those conjectures." New troubles are springing up in the Turkish empire. The Augsburyh Gazette has advises from Alexandria to the effect that the Sehareef of Mecca has taken up arms against the SULTAN, and driven the Turkish garrison out of the holy city. This news, coming, as it does, upon the heels of the accounts of the insurrections in Candia and Bulgaria, bodes much mischief. To make the matter still worse, the young SULTAN'S health is rapidly declining, notwithstanding his removal to the valley of the sweet waters. The Commerce states that the new loan will be issued in August. The official part of the Monsieur of this morning contai n s a report of the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce to the King. This document (which fills six columns of the Moni tear), gives a general statement of the operations of the Savings Ranks during tte year 1839. The Univers of. this morning has the following article If we may believe private letters which have been communi cated to us, it was said at Rome that in the congregation extracr dina-y ecclesiastical affairs, it had been proposed to adopt. some mea ;urea whiih shou!d be taken to prevent the first Secretary of the Russian Lerraticn from returning to the capital of the Christian world. ° His_frequent journeys from Rome to St. LtNDON, SkTURD k JUNE 112, Petersburgh, and fr. om St. Petersburgh to Rome, as well as his much too ardent zeal for the interests of the Autocrat, having justly excited : especially under exisnr g circumstances. the suspicion of the b [oly See. It was observed at Rome that on the 28th of May the am bassadors of the two great Roman Catholic Powers, France and Austria, had an a udience of his Holiness ; it is believed that the object of it was the affairs of Spain. The Seatinclle des Pyrenees of the sth of dune says, " The affair of the forged Spans sh Bank notes e Atends its ramifica tions even into this conntr y.

June 6 --- General Joh' rston, one of the repre sen t a ti ves o f the distressed' opet.ati vc: of Oldham, has presented a petition from them te .the Ii ruse of Commons, in which they state that the ed:_ii-laws are contrary to every principle of mo rality an driligion, and pray for their total repeal. Ge neral Johnstone and Mr. Fielden, by shirking the non confide.ice .divirion., allowed Sir Robert Peel, the head of the monopolists; to, defeat Lord John Russell, who has brought fo nvard two great measures for the relief of the lower and middle classes, and who had fixed a day for exposing f...e ruinous effect of the Corn-laws, and rousing the cm .try against all. monopolies. These pre tended friends o f the poor have thus inflicted the great ! es:injury on th( fir distressed constituents, out of hosti lity, as they sa - r', to the new Poor-law, which Sir Ro bert Peel suppttrts as strongly as Lord John Russell. Will the elect'.rs of Oldhari thank their two Members for thus sacrif icing their best interests, without any ra tional object? t MERCHANT TAILORS' ANNUAL BANQUET.—LORD STANLEY.-At the gran a annual entertainment given yesterday in Merchant '.T.'ailors' Hall, Lord Stanley, who was present, threw off one of those intemperate party speeches which prove now utterly devoid his Lordship of even the most or'anary tact and judgment. After observing that " that. was a place in which no polities were to be spoken," he proceeded to prattle upon poli tics, in a spirit which even. those who were of his own way of thinking, must have felt to be as disgusting as it • was inappropriate. The public virtues of the Tories in general, and of Sir Robert Peel in particul ar , formed the sole burden of his. speech. Not a word about the scho lastic proceedin gs of the day ; these th e " d r i ver of th., Dilly" treated • A s things of no account. Perish literature —perish education—perish all that ekvates and refines humanity—T,rovided only Toryism gains the ascendant ! Such, if nit in so many express words, :was the sub stance of Lord Stanley's speech, which, ;delivered on the hustings, would have been perfectly character ; but, delivered at a grave, • decorous assemblage of the Masters of Merchant Tailors' School, and the President and Senior Fellows of St. John's College, was irrele vant and repulsive in. the highest degree. His Lcr iship is a clever man—though of a weathercock order of intel lect ; but he has not one atom of discretion. He acts upon no settled pr;nciples, but is uniformly the slave of temper. God help the Cabinet in which he holds a con spicuous station! 'He will wreck it before it is six months old. None knows this baiter than Sir Robert Peel, who 'agrees about as well with Lord Stanley— despite the latter's cajolery = as oil with vinegar. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 11.—Serious disturbances have taken place to-day between the ship carpenters and Irish labourers in the neighbourhood of the Docks. A very large posse of the police arc out, armed with cutlasses. Serious apprehen sions are entertained thst violence will be committed to-night.

Brazils are in moderate request, and for fair qualites of Maranham last week's prices fully maintained. In other sorts there is no change.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER; took the Chair at One o'clock. The' Gainsborough Small Debts Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lori MAHON, the Lords' amendments in the Northern and Eastern Railway Bill were agreed to, The Canterbury Pavement Bill was read a thirJ time and passed. Mr. BRISCOE presented two petitions f . oin places in Wiltshire, pravinz for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented petition, very numerollsly signed, from a di,t r i ct i n t h e metropolis, praying for a repeal of the Corn-la ws . • • Mr. EWART pre sen t e d p e titi ons from var i ous par t s o f th e metropolis to the same effect.

Sii. R. H. INGLIS prentited two -petitions from places in Liacrilnshite, praying for Church Extension. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS BILL. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the. House went into Committee on the Ecclesiastical COMmissioners Bill. The 17th clause was struck out. The other clause 3 were agreed to;, and the report ordered to be received on Monday. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL the. Br.b.,.ry at, Elections Bill was recd a third time. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proiosed some amend ments in the first clause, to the effect. that the Committee should haw power to call before them and examine candidates, as well as other pertong, which %%ere agreed to, and the Bill was passed. APPROPRIATION mu. On the motion for going into Conlnnitteeon this Bill, Sir G. SINCLAIR complained of large sums of 'money being voted away without due delibjration, when o many days were wasted in useless debate. If they took together the de bates on the Sugar Duties, and:'Ae vote of no confidence, they Is ou!d be found to occupy nearly a month. He thought the 'practice of aijourned deb a t es must by common consent, be put ail end to.' lie thought, also, that the leaders of both parti's were, of all others, the most to blame, since they never got up until a very late hour in the evenina. He wished the accom plished gentlemen in the front benches were an are of the in convenience to which this conduct put their friends behind them ; and of how much gentienclen complained of being brought down to the House at a very late hour (the early Fart of the evening having been wastrd), that some gentle men might make an eloquent speech to full benches. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") 116 - thought that if Catiline bad got up in the Roman Senate, and made a v -ry long speech at some such an unseasonable hour as Hon. Gentlemen were accustomed to rise, the conscript f:theri nould not have failed to apostrophise him, " Quousque tandem. abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?" If Brutus hqd risen to speak at three o'clock in the morning his best f lends would have exclaimed, " Et 4.u, Brute!" and he conceived; that if ever' Cicero had kept them to so late an hour, the Senators would have been found walking listlessly in the lobby,'inquiring " Is Cicero still up?"—( Laughter.) Ile had two 'remedies for the present evil of protracted oiscus-ion ; he wlould propose either that on an understanding between both sidel, tellers might be appointei who would take the names of all Hon. Members who wished to Lave the House till eleven o'clock; 'and that they should then depart, leaving any who might please to remain in the Howe ; or if that plan were not thought a ivisable, he should recom mend th,tt on the mt.eting of the House, after an adjourned debate, they should proceed immediately to a division. The Appropriation Bill went through Committee, and tl e Report was order ed to be brought up en Monday. ELECTION PETITIONS TRIAL BILL. Sir GEORGE CLERK having moved the second re idirg of this Bill, Mr. VERNON SMITH expressed his belief the. it world not meet all the exigencies of the. case. In his opinion elec tion petitions could never be satisfactorily tried until the juris diction was removed altogether from the House. Sir G. CLERK said that the obSerrations of the Hon. Gen . tleman did nut apply to the immediate question before the House. It would be impossible at the present period of the Session to discuss the general subject to which the Hon. Member had referred. The object of the present Bill was merely to introduce some alteiations in the present mea sure, particularly as regarded the! . Committee of Selection. It was desirable that the Bill should be made as perfect as pos • sible, and the provisions now proposed to be introduced in it were merely intended to remove certain difficulties which had occurred. One of the alterations proposed was to make the attendance of the Chairman compulsory. He agreed entirely with the HonOrable Gentleman that some such .enactment would be itecesary, as he thought it would be impossible to secure tliCir attendance without such enactment. Another alteration was for the purpose of removing difficulties which had occurred with regard to the serving of notices. Another difficulty had arisen as to cases where more than one petition had been presented against a re turn. It was proposed to consider'all such as one petition, and refer them to the Committee of Selection. His Right Hon. Friend proposed to re-enact the wltole of the former Bill, and the alterations proposed to be introduced would be printed in italics, so that ficn. Alembers epuld see at a glance the alte rations intended. Mr. ORD did not think the'Bil ,had totally failed ; on the contrary, he thought it a great improvement on the old law. He objectel to givin , r to any tribhnal out of the House the power of trying election petitions. Lord M A HON s• ill retained his . ..original opinion the. no mea sure that did not take away from Committees of the Huse the power of deciding on election petitions would be satisfactory. He thcught that, considering the party feelings by which Members of that House were Agitated, they were quite disqualified from coming to any Cccision on such a question. In :aging this he meant to cast no imputation on any Member or body of Members, and he considered his observations ap plied to himself with the same foice that they did to any other Member. Mr. C. BULLER thought the'Bill had intrcduced a great deal of practical good, and he considered it still more valuable as a step to further improvement. He thought the plan of the Right Honourable Baronet had bad the effect of increasing the intelligence of Election Committees. He thought the mode of selecting the Chairman a great improvement, and he thought it desirable to have as permanent a Chairman as possible. The question whether such Chairman should be of the House or .out .of the House, teas a very grave one, and re quired much consideration. He was not prepared to go to the extent of making the service pf the Chairman compulsory. INo set of men would be harder worked than they would be during the next. session, aed it 'Would be a monstrous jujus, tice to the Chairman and doubling the difficulties of the Com mittee of Selection. He therefoix hoped that no such clause would be proposed. Mr. PRYME objected to the p'an Of rejecting all lawyers from Committees, unless they were able to procure the most eminet.t in the profession. Such a course was most prepos terous. Lord ELIOT thought tie duty of Chairman was not more onerous than that of any individual serving on the Com. mit tee. After a few ♦cords from Mr. OliD and Mr. PAYME, the Bill was read a second time. The Metropolis Improvement Bill was read a third time and pa-sed. HIGHWAY RATES BILL. On the motion that the Report - on the Highway Rates' Bill be received, Captain I✓ECHELL said he had great objection to the Bill, and felt persuaded that the House was not aware of the great power it gave to the county magistrates. He should, there fore, move that the Bill be brought up this day three months. Mr. GORING said that the 'Bill, instead of injuring the public, was calculated, in a very great degree, to guard against expense being incurred by parishes, inasmuch as by its opera tion the roads were prevented being in such a situation as that an indictment would lie. It was,le thought, of material impor tance that the Bill should be continued. Sir C. RURRELL supported` he Bill. Sir G. GREY suggested that he report be now brought up and the sense of the House taketten the third reading. After a few words from Mr.'RELDEN, Lord ELIOT trusted that iiihe Hon. and Gallant Member would not reserve his opposition : ) the third reading, he would at least consent to the adjournwrent of the debate to Monday next. ,t.. Captain PECHELL said he Otshed to consult the feelings of tho House, and he would theltgore withdraw his motion, on condition that the debate should e adjourned to Monday. Sir GEORGE GREY then ignored the 'adjournment of the debate till Monday. which was agreed to. COUNTY BRlDdes. (No. 2) BILL. The County Bridges (No. 2) Jill] was read a third time and passed. t ' The Wicklow Harbour Bill sag read a third time, several clauses being added, and passed. !,- ~ t The Winterbourne Parish Div' 'On Bill passed through Com-. mittee, and the Report was orde ' to be received on Monday. The Mariners' Estate Bill was i d a third time and passed. Colonel SIBTHORP moved for a return of commissions issued by her Majesty in the years 1836, 1837, and 1838. Mr. V. SMI'l 11 presented petitions from two places in Scot land agairst the Corn-laws. The House then adjourned at a Quarter to Three o'Clock. LIVE RPOOL. The Operative Anti-Corn-liw !Association addressed their fellow-townsmen on the injustice and impolics of the Corn laws, from their moveable stage, on Wednesday last, in Great George-place. Pob,rt -Jones, the powerful appealer' on the Corn-laws, who first spoke, was constantly interrupted by a body of men, dressed as ship carpenters, by aternate groaning and cheering. Air. Hindes followed; but before he had finished, they had wedged their way to the carriage and threatened to smash it to atoms. A fight ensued, and stones were showered, till a compact body of police quieted the m . M r . J ames H arvey, the Charman, finding the metamg was only exposed to personal injury by further detention, dissolved. On Friday morning another meeting took place in Clayton-square. The Chairman spoke of Lord Sandon as favourable to a great change in the Corn-laws, and therefore, also, in the Poor-law, as he con sidered that the strongest argument against that law was, that the Poor-lair was required in Consequence of the Corn-laws. Mr. Ac:and also addressed the ni , :eting, denouncing the Corn laws, and Sir Joshua Walmsley, closed the meeting with a short effective speech. No serious breach of the peace occurred, but there were several skirmishes occasinned by the carpenters.

The CoMmittee who have the arrangement have unanimously requested M. Cosa to conduct the concert. The Philharmonic and Opera bands lend their aid. The principal German artists also come forward .. on the occasion. Victim emps proffers his valuable services. Some of the best English singers contribute their talents, and we may fairly anticipate not only the most splendid concert of the season, but that the result will be such an assistance to the widow and family of the talented professor as will place ,them pe.inanently beyond: the reach of want.

EVE NING EDITION. • LONDON TORY ELECTION 11.1EETING.- 2 :(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the Coeserrative electors of London took place at the* London Tavern, 13ishopsgste-stieet, to meet the four gentlemen who ate candidates on the Conservative interest, and to adopt measures to secure their election. The admission to the meeting was by printed circulars which had been very ex tecsively distribut (1 throughout the City, and the party wail required " to present his note of invitatimi at the Boor, with liberty to introduce any electore of Conservative urine Ales, who might by accident not have received one." The Rencrters of the pubic press were admitted indiscriminately, and with out reference to the politics of the Journals which they le presented. At one o'clock the Chair wag. taken by Jolts HORSLEY PALMER, Esq., in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Russell Ellice. At this time there were between three and four hundred gentlemen present.' The CHAIRMAN said ha offered himself with very great pleasure to preside on the present occasion, although he felt that he was not able to do the same justice to the cause as the Hon. Gentleman whose absence on the prevent occasion they must regret.—( Hear.) But the cause was one from which no*man professing Conservative principles would withhold his assistance. It was gratife jog* to every true Conservative to know that the advanceeof their principles in the City offered the fairest prospect of success to the exertions that had been made some years back, in endeavouring to bring back the represen tation of the City to the point from which it should never have departed. —( Hear, hear.) In 1833, Mr. Grote, a gentleman professing the most extreme political opi nions, came in by a majority of no ordinary character, having potted 6,400, while the Conservative candidate had only 0,112 votes. Since then there had been a menifest ad vance of Conservative opinions in the City till the last election, when they stood in a majority et only six.—( Cneers. ) Since then it. had been clearly demonstrated that the Conservatives .had obtained a manifest majority on the registry, andthere were now four gentlemen ready to offer them elves, who,..be hoped, would receive that support which would carry them triune. phantlythrough the contest.—( Cheers.) Great endeavours were 1 making to bring down the leader of the House of Commons to the City as a candidate. He trusted for his own reputation which he (Mr. Palmer) readily admitted .was very great— (Loud cheers)—that that Noble Lord would not listen : to the appeal, beeatne if he came he was satisfied the Conservatives would show him that he had _come to the wrong place. ( Cheers.) It was now ten years since an opportunity had been afforded them of electing, representatives of their own principles, end he trusted that on the present occasion those gentlemen would receive such a support as would carry the contest to a triumphant result (Cheers.) They could not select four gentlemen who, either in their mercantile operations or in their private or political characters, were calculated to do greater justice to the choice of the Conservatives of the City of London. The first was a gentleman representing the great est Government in the world next to that of Great Britain— ' he meant Mr. Lyall. The next was a banker who was well known to them all—Mr. Masterman. The third was ass Alder. man of the City of London, very extensively engaged in com mercial and shipping operations, and the fourth was a gentleman who since he bad entered the House of Commons had exhi bited talents of no ordinary character.—( Loud cheers.) These were the tour candidates, and he was satisfied that by " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," they would secure the return of those foar gentlemen for the city of Lou don.—(Much cheering.) Mr. BARING thought the Conservative cause had made such progress in the City of London, that the electors repre senting these opinions were fairly entitled to be heard in Par liament by representatives professing these opinions. —( Cheers. ) The Hon. Gentleman in the Chair, whose exertions in a p ast period in fighting the battles of the Conservatives of London reflected the highest honour upon him, had shown the pro gress of the Conservative cause in the city of London. Although they hail been beaten on the last occasion, by six votes, a Committee would have shown the manner in which the votes of the Liberals had been obtained. The haters of monopoly would not allow them to nominate even one can didate for the City-ito, they had a monopoly of the represen tation, and they were determined to have all or none.—(Loud cheers.) They had however now obtained such a majority as would enable them to shake that monopoly and radi calism to its very foundation.—(Hear, hear, and Cheers.) As yet they were ignorant of as to who were to be thei r op ponents—from what had been done and what they had seen, it was possible that they might have Lord John Russell. Now, be did not think that the City of London would 'gain Much by being made a Government borough.—(Cheers.) How would it benefit . the commerce of the City by ret urn i ng th e 'N o bl e Lord4W,kerould s not speak the voice of the City ? Would they return liii: manly because he was Secretary of State, and had s possession of place and patronage ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.)

Mr. Cions*( 4 .4, Deputy-Governor of the Bank, said he apPean ilthere to*show than he was still of the same opinion as when he had the honour of proposing Mr. Lyall on a former occasion. At that time he was successful, and he entertained no doubt that now both he and those who were candidates along with him, would be the representatives of the City of London in a very short time. They would represent its elm mercy, its banking interesteand its intelligmce. It wins neces sary for the success of commerce, that they shvuldhare a steady adherence to principle on the part of those in the Government. The resolution he had to propose stoke so much trail that it was unnecessary for him to argue in its favour; it was that tee maintenance of Conservative principles was not only the sure source of, and was essential to, the welfare of Lor.don, but to the prosperity of London. With regard to the individual: offer- mg themselves it did not become him to say one word ; they were all well known to all. They had not taken up their views at the spur of the moment.—( Cheers.) The question was not with regard to their candidates but the electors thernrelves, whether they would return four good men to the liouse of Commons for the purpose of maintaining those principles in the House of Commons, which they had maintained out of. He hoped the opportunity now offered would not be neglected, as it might be many years before it occurred again. He„ should have no objection to see Lord John Russell in the City of London offering himself as a candi date for its representation, but he thought the City would dis grace itself if it elected a person to represent it merely because he was a. Minister. of the Crown. He felt convinced if the Noble Lord presented himself tot the (lectors of London he would he defeated.— ( Cheers. ) Mr. Iltineean seconded the resolution. The resolution was put to the meeting by the Chairman, and declared by him to be carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman Teicestrson then came forward to propose the next resolution, which e as to the effect; " That in the opinion of the meeting George Lyall, Esq., John Mastermrn, Lsq., Alderman Pine, and Matthias \Volverly Attwuod, Esq., were eminently fitted, from their mercantile position and ex perience, and their other qualifications, to represent the City of London in Pat Lament, and that the present meeting pledged itself to use every exertion in their power to ensure their re turn at the approaching general election.—(Great cheering.) He should be content to end what he had to say by reading the resolution; but, as he had been called upon to pre side at a general meeting held in the City three weeks ago, he ought to make true statements of what took place there. It was stated at that meeting that the cause of Conservatism had been increasing for years past in the City, and that they had now obtained a position which would be found to be overwhelming to their opponents. All this, he was convinced, was owing to the exertions of the Association to which he had referred. The duty of that Association was to see that the Reform Bill was carried out, and that no person should be on the Registry who was not entitled to be there. He had stated at that meeting that he believed the Conservatives had a nirjority of 1,000 over the Liberals.—(Cheers.) That had been at tempted to be denied ; but he thought it his duty to tell the meeting that he had made that statement advisedly, and he be- . lieved that he would have been justified in going beyond it,— (Cheers.) He believed that such was their position that in would be downright cowardice if they did not bring forward four candidates. If they elected the four gentlemen who were to be proposed they would elect men who represented the banking interest, the commercial interest, the shipping in• terest, and all the other interests that were connected with the trade and commerce of London. It had been said that the Conservatives had offered to compromise the election, and that they had stated they should be satisfied if they returned two menthe's ; he denied such an imputation ; there had been no attempt on the part of the Conservatives to make a com promise, neither would there be.—(Loud cheers.) The Conservatives were determined, to use a vulgar expression to go the whole hog.—(Cheers. ) He believed that the registry was favourable to them, and that all they had to do was, as soon as the poll was opened, to roil to it and vote.— (Cheers.) lie was sore if Sir R. Peel was - in power, which he was convinced would be ere long, that whatever was wanted for the benefit of the country, would be acceded to. Net brought forward far the purposes of agitation and to continue them. selves in power, but to meet the wants and wishes of the com munity at large.—(Cheers.) Much had been said about Lord • J. Russell being a candidate. He saw by the Court Circular that certain.very respectable gentlemen who had taken a very pro minent part in the elections for the City of London had had an interview with his Lordship, and that was followed by a para graph in the papers that Lord John Russell had given them no decisive answer. Now his opinion was that his -Lordship had given them a very decisive answer—(Cheers) —and he would tell them why—Because the old men with the plat anis who had for so many weeks b'ocked up the thoroughfares of their city were no longer, to be seen.—(Loud cheers and laughter. ) Mr. Grote had publicly declared that he intended to vacate his post without a fight—let them all act together, hand and heart, and they might depend on it they would secure them the other three seats—they would drive the present imbecile men from Government, and see about the person of the Queen men who possessed the confidence of the people, and who would do jus tice to all parties.—(Loud cheers.) Sir C. Pelee had much pleasure in seconding the motion. He had long and intimately known the four gentlemen who were proposedas candidates on the present occasion, and he believed no men could be found better fitted for the task, or more deserving of the confidence of the electors of the City of London. He should not detain them further, but give his cordial assent to the proposition that had just been submitted • to them. The resolution was then put, and carried with loud and ge neralcheering. Mr. I. Y A 1.1. then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He said he hail often had occasion to address them on similar occasion, and he believed they needed no detailed exposition of his political principles. He had the honour of representing them in two sessions of Parliament, and having advocated Conservative principles then, when they welt: at the lowest ebb, it was not likely that he would abandon them now that they were triumphant.—(Loud cheers.) Te the latest period of his life he should be the unceasing advocate of these principles, and he (lid so because he believed the British Constitution was above all others calculated to se cure al much liberty as was consistent with order, and that it had accomplished those great objects beyond any other institu tion they had ever heard or read of.—((sheers.) if they lacked at the British nation—at its vast colonial pessees=sions, its commerce, its arts and manufactures, must they not admit that all its preeminence in these departments was owing to their C o nstitutionealthough they had often heard that Consti tution described as something which should be put aide, and some crude and undigested theory.subetituted in its stead.— (Loud cheers.) In Church and State h e believed the British Constitution eminently calculated to maintain what should he the legitimate object of . all governments, the well-being and happiness of the people. Subjects of the greatest importance would be submitted to them in the next Parliament, the Corn laws, the Poor-laws, the Sugar duties, the Timber duties, and others, in all of which they were '-deeth , ,interested.---(Loud I cheers.) He trusted that these great, questions would not be adjusted merely with reference to ti re transitory interests of --ty warfare.—(Loud 'cheers.) H . such should occur it ap pPe'ta'r-e,l. to him, it would be a great c: slamity to .the c oun t ry . s') would conelu de th by assuring the m at ( Lend ct... sees l ionGI T of being eles represent a t ive as their repre sen t a t if he tied th% he should faithfully to discharge his duty.—(Lc ud . ng . and long cenflotts4,S•snen„ .ed hi prese timself, and was greened Mr. Moselle:MAX toe = not with ou t hesitation that he with loud antoltiuse.

It was unnecesssry to say that his ierinciples wet e urged by many fiends, in whose opiro' o n hen la ced the fullest Conservative, otherwise he should not 'have app eared belie; e them, but he would add that .these principles ha.d not bee n recently adopted.—(Loud cheers.) It would not be expecte d that he should pledge himself.—(Cries of" No, no.") Hi 3 opinion was, that the honour and character of a representative was eono away with, when he bound himself up to certain pledges without hearing any discussion whatever upon the •aib ject.—( hear,) His best attention, if he had the honour of being elected would be devoted to the promotion of their interests.—(Much cheering. ) Mr W. ATTWOO D th en ro se*, and was roceived with loud cheering. Before he slid anythi.,Wef himself, he had to spo logize for the absence of Mr. Pirie, who was kept health; although but from being present only o n account t .

He needs, "nicely assure them that it was with feelings of very great pre *de e an b d e gr s a s t s ifi o- - cation that he found his name was t , eiated with gentlemen- so well known in the Cits as whit dates for the representation of L on d on , an d the manner. • they had respended to itseannouneement. He fully ac,. u l t . lodged that the great object of hi s am bi t i on was to reprek. • the City of London- - -to any man it would be an object of *pride and praiseworthy 'ambition to be chosen by the first city in the' empire to represent it in the Legislature —a city in which various and complicated interests were . corn oined. He knew it was essentially felt at the pre lent moment that the City should be competently repre sented ; it was therefore peculiarly gratifying to him to find his name so associated. The 1 art he had taken in Parliament was enough to show what his course of politics was. It was unnecessary fur him to remind them of the defeats which the present Government had met with, because he was assured that the records of those defeats were as indelibly engraven on their minds as upon those of the Government themselves, and he was sure they were of opinion that they were no loneer fit to wield the reins of power.—(Cheers.) He spoke to them as commercial persons, and he would remind them that that was the first time they had ever seen the revenue of the country not equal to - its expenditure—the first time the public credit had been so exposed to danger—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—which might * have been fatal to the best interests of the empire. TO rescue themselves from this posi tion, the Government had adopted the desperate course of in citing a severe conflict b-tween the two great classes of this country. It was the first time that a Minister had ever said that the interest of one class was adverse to aoother.—( Hear. hear.) It appeared as if the Minis ters thought a great boon had been offered to the commerce of the City of London, and therefore they were about to pro pose the Noble Lord who made the proposition. But London would repudiate it. They would show that they considered it as an insult. Their opinion was that when they extended their own prosperity—when they were successful in carrying on and extending their own operations, they were contributing to the general welfare—(Cheers)—they did not exist by the sacrifice of any one interest to another, but contributed to the welfare of all. They could never look with satisfaction at the success of measures which would bring ruin and destruction upon any class. These were Conservative principles, and he would maintain them. The candidates were commercial men and were in favour of no monopoly. They desired the pros perity of the country and the welfare of all classes.—( Cheers. The unanimity of their proceedings proved to him that they must be successful if all would t xert themselves to put an end to the system now pursued, which had unsettled the pros perity of the country. 'fhepresent was an awful crisis, and itbe hoved the citizens of London to throw themselves into the breach. Let them - join together and set an example to the whale couutry. He would have much pride in taking the lead as Member for London in putting a stop to the system of the present incap *fele Government, which had paralyzed the whole commerce of the country both at home and abroad. Such were the grounds upon which they presented themselves to the electors of London, and it was upon those principles that they asked fur their support.—(Cheers.) He conjured tho e present, if they concurred with them, if they were satis fied that they would fairly represent them in Parlia ment, not to test satisfied with expressing their opinions and sentiments at public meetings, but to take those means which the Constitution pointed out to record their votes at the hustings.—(Cheers.) The meeting would ex cuse him if he dwelt upon these details in an election which combined so large a constituency as the City did.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) Great exertions ~ were required to enable all parties to have an opportunity of expressing their sentiments.—( Cheers. ) It was not the wislisof the Conserva tive candidates to euhtitniee any unfair influebe'e ; all that they wanted was to place tleir principles fairly before the electors, and alt that then called upon the electors!, to do, was t o aid in the great cause. they had in 'view, and tot xert themselves in a constitutional s 'mantier to carry ,it into eact.—(Checrs.) He considered it a great, honour toe•Opresetit tile City of Lon doe, at el he could assure theelcetors if that honour was conferred upon him, he Vi ould'nes'er be found undeserving:of it. He wished to imp, esi upon the meeting the necessity of supporting the " four canoitlites together. They must not vote for any parti cular party. they must rote for all four, and for hires slf he would say, teat he would rather be the last of four Conservrtive c in eidates than the first of three. Let them all be determined, le them all combine, and go to the yol' de'ermined to support th • great cau-e they were met that eay to advocate. He th in cd the meeting for the attention with which they had he tr,l h .n, ant he could assure them from the bot tom of his heart, that. if the electors of London pla•tmlh m in the high and honourable situation of one of theie representatives, no ' efforts whatever on his part should b wanting to act faithfully by them. He would go to the How" o' Commons deteimined to support conservative principle.' but at the same tinityllatiltlie ? -as free. independent, aid eustiackied as a 1111Ittilsit:4Ok 'lss‘ion ought to be.— ( Great cheering.) • -, ' , ""lb, zwy:l4. Mr. Josmot WALKER. an - I Mr. Doniceseconded a vote of thanks to the geotlemeh upoe tlte eiTerest committees, which was carried un,nimo isle. He trussed that all the gentlem. n who had not.:'-et enrolled their names would do so without hest a ion or Celay, as .he larger their Committee was the more emcient V70111(1 be its worl ing and o, e -ation. The resolution was then unsnimou.ly adopted. The thanks of the meetirg were then given to J. Horsley Palmer, Esq., for the able manner in which he presided over the business of the day, amidst loud acclamations. Mr. PALMER returned thanks. He was sensible of the great honour conferred upon him, more especially when he re flected upon the magnitude and importance of the present meet ing, which was one of the most important in his opinion that had ever been held in the City of London.—( Cheers. ) The meeting then separated. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.—The Bill for the prevention of bribery at elections, as amended by the Commit tee, has just been printed, by order of the House of Com mons. It provides that witnesses shall be compelled to give evidence of bribery ; and in case of false evidence or prevari cation, the parties shall be committed, on the warrant of the Chai man of the Committee, for a time not exceeding t wenty-four hours, arid a report of the proceedings shall forthwith be made to the House, for the interposition of the r authority or censure. Peers of the realm and Lords of Parliament are exempted from this clause. Witnesses making true and faithful disclosures shall be indemnified against all penal actions. In case of ac tions copies of entries of examination may be given in evidence, and evidence of bribery may be given without first proving agency, but the Committee shall report to the House upon the fact or facts of bribery, and also whether it shall have been proved that it had been committed with the knowledge of the sitting Member or candidate. POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS—NEW RE truaTiorr.—A new regulation has just been' adopted at the Post-office, with reference to money orders, ulich will be the means of saving to the public a great deal of unnecessary trou ble and inconvenience. Formerly no one could receive the money but the person who was named to the Postmaster at the p'ace where the order was obtained ; but now, in all cases where personal attendance is inconvenient, it the party who presents the order can afford " full information as to the Christian name, surname, address, and occupation of the per son who originally obtained the order," the money will be im mediately paid by the Postmaster to whom it is addressed : but not until these conditions are strictly complied with. Bunt FOUND AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE.— Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the body of a female, in a very decomposed state, was taken out of the river Thames. near the Surrey arch of Waterloo-bridge. Inspector Ives, of she Thames Police, found the deceased floating off Lett's timber wharf, and having procured a shell, the body was re moved to Waterbo.road church. The police have since ascer tained the deceased to be one of the unfortunate women drowned out of a boat off Hungerford Market about six weeks ago. A watch attached to a chain, both of trifling lalue, were found round the neck of the deceased, who appeared about twenty-fire years of age. . THE ALLEGED MURDER AT DEPTFORD.— From what transpired at the adjourned inquest, held at tea o'clock yesterday, before Mr. Carttar, at the Queen Charlotte public-house, not a vestige of su.piei .n now rests on Jacobs, who, after the inquiry was over, was taken before the sitting Magistrate and discharged. Mr. Charles Smith, of Lambeth, said, " I am clerk to Mr. Henry Robinson, who has saw-mills and a timber wharf.

" every reason Verdict, "Temporary insanity."L No POPERY.--.lt will be seen that a rabble of disorderly characters, after breaking up an Anti-Corn-law meeting in Great George's -plate, on Wednesday, amused themselves by shattering the windows of the school attached to St. Patrick's Ch ape l . H ow far they might have gone, but for the interference of the police, we cannot tell ; but we suppose that this is to be taken as an ebullition of that spirit which the Rev. H. APNeile, and other orators of the Protestant Association, have been so sedulously endea vouring to evoke for political purposes. Mr. APNeile has, on several occasions, shouted " No Popery." He will, probably, do so again at the meeting of the " Protestant Operative Association," which is to be held this evening in the Amphitheatre ; and we have no doubt that the yell will be re-echoed at the coming electicn. The Rev. Gentleman is reported to have said, in one of his sermons, delivered about two years ago, that Catholic chapels must come down by fair means or :foal. Probably he spoke only metaphorically, but he' should remember that many of his ignorant and prejudiced hearers at amphitheatrical gatherings do not understand metaphors, that some of them, as was nearly the case on Wednesday evening; may act literally upon his text, and, furtherinore, that this is a sort of game that two may play at.—Livcrpool Mercury. THE STRATHBOGIE CASE.—A public meet , g was held r Tuesday, in the Court-house, Aberdeen, called by the Los Provost, on the requisition of a numerous and highly respectable portion of the community, for the pur pose of expressing ympathy with the deposed Min,sters of Strathbogie, disappr.A al of the conduct of the dominant party in the Assembly, and a determination to concur in all consti .tutional steps which may be necessary for vindicating the sove reignty of the law against ecclesiastical aggression. The assemblage, says the Aberdeen Journal, was the most nume rous, respectable, and influential, ever witnessed in this city, in any matter of public interest. Every corner of the Court house was crowded to excess, and hundreds had to go away, unable to gain admittance. The Lord Provost Blaikie was in the chair. The meeting was addressed by James Hadden, Esq., Mr. Paterson, Bailie Forbes, Mr. Yeats, Baillie Crom bie, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Adam, Bailie Clark, and Mr. Chalmers. Resolutions in terms of the object of the meeting were unani , piously adopted. A meeting of the county of Aberdeen, on the same subject, is to be held on Tuesday the 22d, in ac cordance with a numerously signed requisition. A public meeting has been called 4 the Provost of Inverness, pur suant to a well-signed requisition, on the subject of the late proceeding* of the-General Assembly. ___________-________.. a.

THE NEW BRUNSWICK TRAGEDY, • ate letter, dated New Brunswick Apr Extract from a pre , / 10. " Robinson seems no w to relent, and has confessed his c r ue form. He says he called upon Mr. t ay t idna.itrititehmeoshideous night before the murder and invited him t o hi s h us,. under the pretence of paying off the note and 300 dollar on the bond and mortgage—that he was prepared to assault aim on his entry, and had placed his hatchet in the side-ligl .t of the front door, intending as he passed in to seize it and , x the attack ; but Mr. Suydam came .in the back door, •.V frustrated this plan.

They passed into the first story, and t' see Robinson said to Mr. S. that his wife had gone out for pen and ink and would soon return. Mr. S. replied, " I'll wale of a a few minutes and return again, by that time she may be .n. ) and advanced to the door. Robinson stepped behind hia aunt and struck the blow with the mallet, which threw off hit hat and brought him on his hands and knees—a second slow , brought him to the floor.
