We shall expect, th ere f ore , to see every Re former in the borough early at his post to-mor [ row, to record by his vote the triumph of , NAPIER, and the downfal of the Corn-laws. We again revert to the great importance of the metropolitan boroughs being the first to set a good example to the country. Any semblance of a reaction in Marylebone would not fail to be turned to the worst account by the Tories. The question is not—Have the Radical constituencies entire confidence in Ministers? but, Does the county want cheaper bread, cheaper sugar, and a more extended market for the products of manu facturing industry ? This question the electors of Marylebone are called upon to solve to-morrow, and the decision of a constituency so numerous, so generally enlightened, and so cognizant of the evils resulting from monopolies which enhance the price, and diminish the quantity of the neces saries of life, cannot but have an extensive influ ence. London, with its adjacent boroughs, is to the nation .what the heart is to the human body, where every pulsation tells upon the extremities. Hence the necessity that the political action of this mighty heart should be sound, vigorous, and healthy ; and hence the urgency with which we press every Liberal elector within the bills of mortality, td' the exhibition of a ten-fold zeal in doing his duty. Electors of Marylebone ! Re member your gallant struggle to obtain the Reform Bill, and bethink yourselves that you are now called upon to decide whether that Bill shall bear the rich harvest of ripe fruits which it at first promised, or whether, like the barren fig-tree, it only put forth a leafy foliage. Remember, that by turning your backs on NA PIER you content yourselves with the foliage and abandon the fruits of Reform. You are now the true Poor Law Com missioners, for the fate of the poor is in your hands. It is you who will now regulate their dietary, by deciding whether you will obtain for them employment and cheap bread, or confine them to the tread-mill and the workhouse. You have a high, and in the present state of the country, a most sacred duty to perform. For ourselves, we have unbounded confidence in you. May you confirm .it by . the cordial reception which you will to-morriiw give to Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER, as a candidate the most worthy to represent your influential Borough in the House of Commons ! , ;' eountry is now launched into the serious 1-84.

If London shall elect Lord J. RUSSELL, and Liverpool Lord PALMERSTON, the moral effec, would be equivalent to a complete defeat of the Tories. There is every reason to think it will be so. The number of electors who have signed the requisitions to the Noble Lords, if they all exert themselves, are quite sufficient to ensure success. " On Thursday," says the Liverpool Albion " a meeting of the friends of the Noble Foreign Secretary was held at Eastwood's Royal Hotel, Dale-street, WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., in the chair. The requisition to his Lordship having, it was understood, been signed by 3,000 electors, it was determined to put him in nomination as the champion of free trade and liberal opinions. The best feeli,ng pervaded the meeting, and the resolutions were passed unanimously." Let no elector, however, in either city, suppose that success is certain. Every man must exert himself, and encourage others to exert them selves. Victory will be with those who are honest and energetic. The abusive wrath of the Tories, because Lord J. RUSSELL has accepted the requisition, is an augury that the result will be favourable. The publication by Mr. HANDLEY of Lord G. BENTiNcx's letter, which has appeared in The Sun is a neat exposure of a miserable attempt on the part of Lord STANLEY to form a great party and place himself at its head. They were to be mo derate Whigs, standing betwixt the two ex tremes, placing no confidence in Sir R. PEEL, but determined to give the Ministers of.the KING'S choice a fair trial. Lord GEORGE went about drumming up for recruits, among . 111.P.5, to meet at Lord STANLEY'S house, and form this regiment, and he says he caught about two or three and forty boobies. The Noble Lord, like other recruiting officers, must have indulged, we apprehend, in hyperbole, for the Dilly, aS:itap peered in public, never contained more thaiihalf a, ;dozen. All the splendid promises . of prize money and promotion failed to gather a large body) . - of followers, and the poor Lordling who aspired, in 1835, to place himself at the head of a great party which should give the law to both Whigs and Tories, has dwindled into se-.; cond r tnate to Sir R. PEEL. Lord.STANLEY will now haVe good cause to regret his hasty attack on Mr, HANDLEY, for it has convicted hiM having la very treacherous memory, and has brought_to light this proof of his defeated ant= bition. The Extraordinary Express from Paris re ceived yesterday, bringing news : from Madrid of the 6th inst., enabled us to anticipate in our afternoon edition, the whole of the news con tained in the French Journals of Sunday. The second telegraphic despatch from French Africa, interrupted by nightfall, concludes as follows : Sir ROBERT PEEL and the 311 monopolists who conspired to stop the discussion on the Corn-laws reckoned without their host. The great question comes on to-morrow evening, when, we trust, every Liberal Member will be early in his place. The Tories fear the discussion, and will try every means to defeat it, either by not making a House or counting it out on the first opportunity. They are ever at their post. Will the friends of the people be outdone by them, when the following important 'reSolution shall be made by Mr SCHOLEFIE4 :--" That the extreme suffering of the industrious classes, from low wages and want of employment, renders it the imperative duty of Parliament not to separate till it shall have devised some means for the allevia tion of the I great misery which now per vades all the manufacturing districts of the country ?" This resolution, coupled with the motion of Mr. HINDLEY on the present system of taxation and the Corn-laws, will allow Members full 'scope for discussing the question of " monopoly" or "no monopoly." The eyes of the country are now on the Representatives of the people—a day of reckoning is at hand—and let the watchwOi:d of electors be, " He that is not with us is against us." The accounts of the distress in the manufacturing districts are quite appalling; the people have hitherto submitted patiently, to :the greatest deprivations, but pa tience has its limits; and if by any side wind from the Tories, or the lukewarmness of the Liberals, their prayers be rejected, no man can answer for the consequences. The Duke de Nemours coming from Mostaganem reached Algiers on the Bth, and was preparing 'to embark for Mar seilles on the 11th. The return of the Duke of 'Nemours to France at the mo ment when, according . to the last despatch of General Bugeaud, the campaign ■itas going to recommence, is a sufficient confir mation of the reports which have been spread of a misunder standing between the Prince and the Governor General of Africa. 11e should lay much stress on the fact if it were isolated; we have on more than one occasion too frankly expressed our opinion of the inconvenience of giving commands to the per sons of the Royal Family as to be much affected at the IA ith drawing of the Duke of Nemours ; but when we consider his return iY conjunction with that of the Generals who have in a manner identified themselves with our conquest in Africa, we cannot help being led to think that General Bugeaud must make an exorbitant use of his command to disgust everybody in this manner.---Le Commerce. The Memorial Bordelais, announcing the arrival of the In fanta Don Francis de Paul and his Consort, the Infanta Louisa Charlotte, at Chateau Margaux, adds the following details : Don Francis is the brother of Ferdinand VII., and Don Carlos, his consort, is sister to the King of Naples, the Duchess of Berry, and Queen Christina. After the exclusion of the elder branch of Don Carlos from the throne of Spain, Don Francis is the successor to the throne after Isabella 11. and her sister, the Infanta Louisa. It is said that they intend to remain at Bordeaux till they can return to Spain. Their two sons, the Dukes of Cadiz and Seville, doinotaccom pany their august parents ; they have, however, two younger children with them ; they have likewise their daughter, the Princess Isabella, who obtained their permission to marry a Polish Count, of which:adventure all the Journals have spoken. It is said that the eldest son of Don Francis is to marry the young Queen of Spain.— Constitutionnel. The hour "big with the fate" of monopoly, in Le borough of Marylebone approaches. Ano- Ler day and we: shall know the extent to which the Liberal electors of that Borough appreciate the honour of laving as a candidate for their re presentation. tn 'Parliament, a man whose bril liant exploits, in, connexion with his right Radical principles, have obtained for him a distinguished reputation extending over the habitable globe. Marylebone has reason to be proud of being able to command. the services of such a man as Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER. The sailor hero is not . a mere man of the sword, who has only honourable scars obtained in fighting, for, liberty to exhibit to the people as a. passport to their suffrages. A re ference to. the'•columns of The Sun, at various periods Within the . last five years, will show the deep s interest which the , Gallant Com modore took in the condition of the British navy— of that navyin whose annalshis name will fill a brighter pagtithan that of any other aniimander since th6 - da:Vinf Nelson. How much the. triumph of coswtoAthrig.lfreedoni in' Portugal is indebted ,to thp, t infl9tßitable courage of NAPIER, is a ques tion which, at this. time of day, it would be an impertinence to discuss.

GERMAN OPERA. Last night Weber's Euryantlie, by some considered his greatest work, was performed for the s-ccond time this season. We were prevented from being present at the first performance, last week, to our enjoyment last night was therefore added all the charm of novelty. But the singular character of Weber's music in general, and of this opera in particular, requires a more intimate acquaintance and frequent hearing to enable us to com prehend and enjoy all its beauties. We believe that to a great part of last night's audience, as to ourselves, the music was too new to be fully appreciated. The applause at the end of the overture was partial only, not, we are confident, because that extraordinary composition was undervalued, but because the first feeling it inspired was rather astonishment than delight. We look forward to ,a second hearing with great eagerness, and doubt not but that delight will then be added to our feelings of surprise. Adolar's ( Herr Tichatcheck) first cavatina is an exquisite morceau, calculated to please at the first as at the hun dredth hearing, and that admirable singer displayed the extreme sweetness of his voice to great advantage. Herr Staudigl as Lyssiart, fully bore out our high opinion of his unrivalled voice and excellent acting. Madame Heinefetter sung and acted as admirably' as ever. Her first love song, and the terzette and chorus, at the end of the first act are, we think, the two most beautiful pieces of the whole Opera. Madame Michalesi ac quitted herself most creditably of her arduous task in the part of Eglantine, which if not so grateful a part as that of the heroine, makes, at least, quite as large demands on the physical power and musical knowledge of the performer. Madame Mi chalesi, as we have before mentioned, is an excellent musician and she acted and sung, last night, with much more vigour and spirit than we had previously given her credit for; but her voice is thin, and, therefore, does not "answer her demands upon it so readily as her skill and ardour demand. It was in her long duett with Staudigl. only that we remembered the Ger man corruption for the name of the Opera—ennuyante. The dresses were splendid in the.extreme. 'Eglantine, Adolar— both in his Court dress, and afterwards in his coat of chain mail and visor helmet—and Lyssiart, were very pictures of the olden time, The lyre or zittern on which Adolar accompaniad hinisolf -to-Iris first beautiful air was classically elegant. But all the stage machinery was execrable; in the second act we heel; :instead of a terrific and continuous thunder storm, no thunder, one flash . of lightning , and that was cnly a flas h in I,hdpan. The dress circle, the private boxe s , an d t h e pit -were well filled; but the audience betrayed great impatience during the unconscionably long entre actes. The applause was very enthusiastic at the conclusion. Madame Heinefetter and Herr Tichatcheck were called for after the fall of the curtain, and appeared to receive reiterated bravos and rapturcus plause. We must not conclude without awarding the need of praise to the beautiful poetry . of Helm ina von Ch ezy, the uthor of the German libretto. It is infinitely superior to the usual verse written for composers, and is itself a charming p eti:al work. Mr.•Lefevre, the Senior Poor-law Cointnitsioner, is reported to have retired from that office. If so, changes in the arrangements and appointments of the Central Bcard will most likely take place.

STOCKHOLM, JUNE 3.—The close of the session will be an nounced on the 24th inst. CITY ELECTION (THIS DAY.) GREAT MEETING TO RETURN FOUR LIBERAL MEMBERS. A meeting of the electors of the City of London who had signed the requisition to Lord John Russell, took place this day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to take mea sures for securing the return of Messrs. Alderman Wood, James Pattison, William Crawford,, and Lord John Russell, as representatives for the City of London at the ensuing election. Long before the hour appointed for holding the meeting all the avenues leading to the tavern were crowded to excess, and the thoroughfares in Cornhill, Bishopsgate-street, &c., were so crowded with persons anxious to obtain a sight of Lord John Russell, that business was almost entirely suspended. On the arrival of his Lordship, at a few minutes before two o'clock, there was a loud and tremendous burst of cheering from the assembled multitude, which continued long after his Lordship had entered the tavern. A strong body of the me tropolitan police, under the personal superintendence of Mr. Harvey, were stationed at the entrance, but their efforts were quite ineffectual in repelling the dense multitude, and nut only the great room of the tavern, but the staircases and passages were crowded to suffocation. Among the gentlemen on the platform we observed—J. A. Curtis, Hobhouse, J o h n T ravers , E. Buxton, R. Cunliff ( Banker), B. Hawes, M.P., Fearon E. Wilson, Hankey, Mr. W. Wilki nson , Si r J o h n Rae, I. Loyd Jones (Banker), Alderman Humphery, M.P. Crawford, M.P., Pontifex, E. Turner, M. P. i Pattison, M. P., A. H as ti e , M . P . ,W . Ellis, M.P.,— Roberts (Banker), A. A. Smyth, M.P., J. Morrison, M.P., Sir John Guest, M.P., Isaac Lionel Gold smith, Williams, M.P., S. D. Salomons, Alderman Weod, M.P., Commodore Napier, George Robert Smith, M.P., Baron Rothschild, Rothschild, Mr. Gurney, &c. &c. The crowd was tremendous, more so than we ever remember on any former occasion, the street in front of th e L on d on Ta vern being absol u t e ly blocked up for some time;' but such were the admirable arrangements made by the Commissioner, D. W. Harvey, that the utmost order prevailed. The Police were extremely civil, and Mr. Harvey superintended the ar rangements in person. Lord John Russell, on arriving at the platform, was most enthusiastically received. The cheering upon his taking his seat lasted for several minutes. Mr. ROBARTS, after silence had been in some measure re stored, came forward, and stated that having been selected as Chairman of the Committee for conducting the election of Lord John Russell and the present three Members for the City of London, he could only say that he wished that task had fallen upon some much more influential individual than himself. This, however, he would say, that no one among the large meeting assembled could be more hearty in the cause than himself. As time was valuable, he would at once move that Samuel Jones Loyd, Esq., should take the Chai r upon th e presen t occas i on. He hoped that every elector would be found stanch at h;s post, and would vote in favour of the Liberal candidates who offered themselves. They were all mixed up in the prosperity of this City, and he thought that, having that object in view, they could not do better th an carry ou t t h ose highly Liberal views which had been propounded by the Noble Lord who now did the City the honour of appearing amongst them as one of their candidates. He would now conclude by proposing that Samuel Jones Loyd, Esq., should take the chair.—( Cheers.) Mr. TRAVERS seconded the motion. Ile congratulated the constituency of the City of London that they were on the pre sent occasion honoured, not only by the presence of Mr. Loyd, but by that also of Mr. Roberts. They had on the present occasion a constellation of mind, talent, and influence, that he believed had never been congregated together en any pre vious occasion in the City of Lo n d on . —(G reat cheering.) The motion was carried unanimously, and Mr. JONES Love. took the Chair amidst the most tre mendous cheering, which lasted for several minutes. In taking the Chair on the present occasion he would endeavour to preside over the proceedings of that mighty meeting with fairness and impartiality. In taking the chair he did it, not relying upon his own competency, but under a deep sense that in an emergency so important as the present it was the duty of every man, without any hesitation, at once to step forward, and by his efforts and exertions, to endeavour to support the great cause which they had met that day to advocate. He trusted that the meeting had come together with one united feeling in favour of and for the furtherance of one common purpose. Undoubtedly a cause more important or candidates more distinguished--(Great cheering)—had never been brought before even the constituency of that great city. (Great cheering.) On the cause for which they had assembled, he should not think it necessary to detain them by making many remarks. Their presence in numbers so vast, and with a zeal beyond all doubt, convinced him that they had well considered the nature of that cause, and that they had justly estimated it. He should content himself, therefore, with the brief but emphatic observation that it was his delibe ra'e and deep conviction that it was the cause of wisdom and of justice.—( Great cheering.) It was the cause of reasonable liberality and enlightened legislation.—(lncreased cheering.) With respect to the illustrious individual to receive whom, and to recognise whom, in the proud character of their Candidate, they had met that day, he must be permitted to make a few observations.—( Great cheering.) On any other occasion than the present it would be impossible for him to speak of that individual without first alluding to the high an cestorial honours and great historical associations which must ever attend upon the name he bore.—( Great cheering.) It would have been still more impossible to have refrained from adverting to that long series of distinguished personal services —( Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers)—by which he had added further and greater honour to that name, and by which he had established an irresistible claim to the high gratitude of his country. —( Loud cheers.) But con sidering the magnitude of the special purpose for which they had that day assembled, he (Mr. Loyd) should not detain them with reference to these topics. It. was sufficient for them on the present occasion, considering the object for which they were assembled, to know that that distinguished individual came amongst them that day as the Minister of free commerce, as the declared enemy of the principle of monopoly— (Cheers)—as the organ, and as the representative of that wise and liberal Government which proposed gradually to approximate to the principle of free trade, and bring back the commercial legislation of this country by well considered steps to the straight and simple line of wisdom.— They all knew that, in accordance with those views and with the object of effectually furthering them—a series of mea sures had been proposed to Parliament, and they were also well acquainted with the fate which attended them. Those measures had been met by the House of Commons with a hasty and contemptuous rejection.—(Loud cheers.) After the decision, after the monstrous decision of the present House of Commons, her Majesty's Government had declared their intention of making an immediate and solemn appeal to the people. They, the electors of this great City, must now earnestly , prepare for those duties which await them, and they must con sider seriously who were the candidates to whom they could, satisfactorily to themselves, and safely for their country—( Cht )—entrust the high duty, the solemn trust, of speaking their seittiments, and of upholding their country's nterests, in the Parliament which was about to be elected. --( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was under those circumstances that a requisition bearing 5,000 signatures —( Cheers)—had been presented to Lord John Russell, re questing his consent to be put in nomination as a Candi date to represent this great City in Parliament.—(Cheers. ) To that requisition his Lordship had returned an answer which he (Mr. Loyd) trusted they had all read, and the Noble Lord had made a stilt more emphatic reply by his honoured pre sence amongst them.—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Loyd) would say on the part of his Lordship that he had sustained and further eonfirmed his high character for undaunted reso lution—(Loud cheers)—and for the most generous self-devo tion, which he had ever exhibited when his country required it. Let them not talk to him (Mr. Loyd) in the present crisis of those ordinary rules which taught them to suppose that a representative for this great City must possess, as his qualifications, a knowledge of the local interests of the City on an extensive personal acquaintance with the constituency. Such qualifications, no doubt, on common and ordinary occa sions, were requisite ; but the present, as the Noble Lord, in his address, had stated, was no ordinary occasion—( Cheers) ; in a great emergency, and, most assuredly, if ever there was such which deserved the character it was the present—in a great emergency great and extraordinary efforts must be made. Where, he would ask—when a liberal Government of a liberal and enlightened country proposed to unswaddle the mighty giant—the Hercules of English industry—( Hear, hear, and cheers).--to restore it to its true strength and legitimate powers-- to the people, Commons—when PurPse ; w the en they aes n h u have v et e sh b uh r sa o dt u r g eb h ae t t ee f .d o r r we w je a er r ee d t ea n a db e a o bu s y : t r th e oe s for at t and when they had staked their existence as a Gos those e In n m e vernment upon the success of that appeal—where, he would ask, ought the first Minister of the Cro wn —he meant of course the first Minister of the Crown w h o derived . his legislative powers—not only from hereditary rights —(Cheers)—but by direct delegation of the people— (Cheers)—where ought the first Minister of the Crown, so cir cumstanced, and at such a moment—where ought he to be found ? Was it not in the arms of the constituen t y of the first commercial city in the world ?--( Cheers). such were the circumstances under which Lord John Russell then appeared before them. He would ask them to allow him to occupy their time for one or two minutes by alluding to circumstances which belonged to the history of the family oftehsetirdialylusstorfioEusnavliissihtorin.deTpehnedehnicse torian of former times, in speaking of the ancestor o f the Noble Lord, who will remain celebrated i n hi s . tory as long as the b and English public spirit under any circumstances were re membered. The historian, in describing the solemn circum stances under which the most distinguished ancestor of. the Noble Lord laid down his head on the block as a penalty , for his exertions made to protect the civil and beautiful, so aff ect i ng, said, " The illustrious martyr passed through the streets of this c it y i n hi s is religious language rights-of s o this country—( Cheers)—The Carriage to the place of execution, and the people imagined that they saw virtue and liberty seated by his side."—(Cheers.) The same guardian angels hovered over the Noble Lord— ( Cheers.) With the same spirit of self-devotion, w i t h t h e same generousgenerousmagnanitti;ty as that which led his ancestor to lay down his life on the block for the people, had he (Lord John Russell) in better times and better days done his duty by showing him self generously awl unhesitatingly before the constituency EVENING EDITION. place him at the head of the poll, and bx so doing lie would be doing a service t o hi s country.—(Laughter.)

He was not then young in the world—he had then lived long enough in it to have had his opinions matured. He had remained consistent throughout his political course. No man could charge him with a departure from those principle which he had professed eight years ago from the same platform.—( Cheers.) In the year 182.5 he remembered attending a large meeting in the Egyptian Hall, the purpose of which was, if possible, to effect a change in the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) Then all the City concurred in the proposed change. They had Mr. Ward, Mr. Horsley Palmer, and others of that class, all concurring that such a change was due to the country and sound policy.—( Cheers.) Why those gentlemen had thought pro per to change their tone he knew not.—(Cheers and laughter. ) For they had at all times and on all occasions shrunk from the ques tion, and never in a more formal manner than in theaddress of the opponents. He was sufficiently known to the commercial wo Id to reneer it unnecessary for him to state that he has perfectly wilting and most anxious to extend the freedom of corn mecer as far as possible. He had in early life been converted to those principles in a most uncongenial soil. In Indir he had seen the vice of the system of monopoly an he was gild to see several of his Eastern friendsaround him. which prove - that the principles he had then formed were ex tendiv. Ire did not wish to detain them after what had al ready taken place, and would with much cheertulness leave the cause in their hands. Mr. PATTISON--When he was first introduced to their no tice, when Sir R. Peel dissolved Parliament in 1834 and 1835, he stated that he was an ardent Reformer, and he begged to sate that he wes so yet. On that occasion he was a very:unwilling candidate, but lie was told that by coming forward he might do much good to the cause, and he hesitated no longer— (cheers).—They had again returned him afterwards, and he would refer to his past conduct as a proof of what it would be if they returned him again.—( Cheers. ) He had never given any but an honest vote—(Cheers)—his votes were registered, and there was not one of that he would wish to withdraw.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He was still an unflinching Reformer, and on all occasions it would give him much pleasure to support a Go vernment, headed in one riouse by Lord Johu Russeli— (Cheers)—and in the other by Lord Melbourne.—( Cheers. ) They were aware he was no orator ; he would, therefore, con tent himself, on the present occasion, with saying that the greatest pleasure he could receive, would be to be re-elect,d at the next, and the citizens of London would give hint tae Noble Lord as a colleague. Mr. HAWES said a duty devolved upon him which, although almost unable to do justice to it, he would cheerfully perform, because with his utmost strength, and with all his might, he had embarked in the Government cause, which they were assembled to support.—(Great Cheering.) On that occasion they had shut their doors to none.—( Cheers.) They held their meeting in the face of day; they had sent out no letters to be presented at the door.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had, as upon all previous occasions in the City of London, discussed a great public question with open doors.—(Cneers. ) After an excellent speech, which we are sorry time will not permit u , to report, the Honourab e Gentleman proposed a rese!ution, " that, determined to support the great measures recently proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, and im pressed with the high importance, commercially as well as politically of the principles involved in those mea sures, the meeting yiedge themselves to promote, to the utmost of their power, the election of Lo ezl John Russell, and the re-election of the other three candidates. Mr. R. CURRIE, M.P., seconded the motion which was passed unanimously with applause. Three cheers were given for the Queen. After which a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman upon the motion of Sir M. Wood, seconded by Mr. Crawford. Three cheers were then proposed for Commodore Napier,:and loudly and vehemently responded to. Commodore Name then came forward and said, Gentle men, I certainly did not come here to-day to address you, because I felt that it would be perfectly out of place, to do so. But, as I have been brought forward, and shall briefly make a few observations.—(T"e mendous cheering ) With regard to what the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) has said with respect to the navy, the Noble Lord has given us a reason for increasing the national expenses that the naval force of the country required augmentation. and that while France and Russia h ere increasing their naval power and resources, it became Great Bri tain to increase her naval force in a corresponding degree. If there was any fault on the part of Ministers, it is that they had not increased our navy long beesre they did.—( Hear, hear.) Now, that is done, I hope every one will support the Government of the Noble Lord, as I shall do, if I have the honour of being returned for Marylebone.—( Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN said he had the less difficulty in acknow ledging the resolution which had just been passed, thanking him fur his services in the chair, because he was perfectly con scious that it was a compliment paid not to the conduct of en individual, but to the high and important character of the office he had filled.—( Hear, hear.) He could only assure thins that, if there was ever affixed to a cause a support that was calm, disinterested, and free from envy, party, and formal bias, and which was arrived at by deep consideration, and held by equally firm conviction, it was the suppi rt which he had that day endeavoured to the new commercial policy of the country, and which he should continue to give to the end of his life. He had come forward upon that occasion wholly r n nfluenced upon that occasion by parey or persisted considerations. About four tears since tie hail been requested by her Ma jesty's' Government te I undertake: with three other gentle men the duty ef investigating the condition of a very extensive class in this country, i a nely, the hand-loom w' et • v.srs, who was then suffering the severest privations; and the Committee appointed upon teat occasion recommended for toe alleviation of those distresses precisely the same measures as those brought forward by Her Majesty's Government. He w: s sure that by a liberal system of Commercial policy they might secure to the country that further prosperity which was withie their reach. but that if those measures should be neg.ec ited in his conscientious belief that prosperity would gra dually decay with the eheres of England, and would wing es flight to countries flourishing under a better ord, red state of th ogee--(Loud cheers. ) Three cheers we a then proposed fur Lord John Russell, and It e , cheers for the four Candidates, which was loudly respo :ritd to by the meeting. ..,r. TRAVERS then came forward, and expressed a hop e that the electors would hereafter be at tF ear posts, endeavour in s to return Lord J. Russell and his three colleagues, to re use ent them in the ensuing Parliament, sn.l fur all of them h, invoked their support. They must not forget. their duty of canvaosing ; they mast not forget that the poll drew nigh ; and they must not forget their duty on the gay of polling, to bring as many voters to the poll a , possible. Thee cheers were then given for Mr. Trevor!, and Mr. LLOYD, the Chairman, in announcing the dissolution of the meeting, earnestly requested all the electors of London to gird themselves up for a mighty conflict. The electors must recollect that by the present law there was only one day's polling. On the arrival of Lord John Russell in the Committee-room, his Lordship was introduced to several of the influential com mercial gentlemen of the city, by whom he was warmly congra tulated on presenting himself as a candidate fo^ their suffrages. '1 he utmost enthusiasm anpeared to prevail amongst the elec tors present., and loud and hearty cheers were given by the vast. crowd assembled in front of the Tavern, as the candidates and other friends took their departure. The meeting broke up shortly be four o'clock. Lord John Russell on leaving the platform was most enthu• siastically cheered. Such was the density of the meeting, that people who came and could not obtain admittance to the great room went away at the rate of sixty per minute, --• - MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The mercantile advices from America to-day appear to have given, on the whole, more satisfaction to the traders in tlisi City connected with that country ; and, as regards our British North American possessions, the strong tide of emigratior. that has set in upon them seems to augre well for their future; prosperity. .It may be important to state, since agri culture is the main-stay of Canada, and most of the parties leaving this country to settle there have: that pursuit, in view, that the weather had become much m wit favourable for farming operations. The change, indeed, had been wonderful, the thermometer at Quebe c having reached 80 in the shade. Wheat had come up 120 hours after beim sown, and every other sort of vegetation was progressing w ith sunilar rapidity.
