The Sun. — London, England, 1841-07-01 00:00:00

ORN INC SUN, learned and holy men whom she furnished to the world af, that time, earned for her the honourable name of t he Isle o ' Saints—(Cheers) —and as her population has greatly in creased, we are warranted in calculating that her phi loscplaers and saints, though occasionally a little uproari ous, have multiplied at least in the same proportion. — (Great laughter and cheers.) As I have trespassed so long upon your time, I must draw to a close by giving, not the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock. but the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland.—(The toast Was drunk with all the honours.) Professor Akiscne returned thanks for the honour con ferred on the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland.— (Cheers.) He was sure they all knew that their distin guished guest was an adept in the science of human na tureawhich was akin to moral philosophy. He possessed one quality which medical men might envy—the power of solacing and soothing the tedious hours of sickness and disease.—(Loud cheers.) He was sure that one and all of them were happy in having the opportunity of Paying homage to the genius of their distinguished guest, and of‘expressing their gratitude to him for the great amount of innocent amusement which he had conferred upon many thousands, he might say many millions, of his countrymen.—(Great cheering.) .41 Mr. Crreareaas NEAVES, advocate, said, they were met there this night to do honour to one great master in one great department of imaginative delineation—let them rot then forget to do justice at the same time to the sister art of poetry.—(Cheers.) He asked the meeting to give their tribute of applause to the names of Wordsworth, Campbell, and Moore.—(Loud cheers.) After alluding to the times of Shakspeare, Spencer, Waller, Cowell, Cowper, and Burns, the Learned Gentleman said the soil of our country in the present days .was not less pro ductive of poetical genius than in past times, as a proof of which he need only mention the names of Words worth, Southey, Cowper, Byron, Scott, Rogers, Moore, Campbell, Wilson—(Loud and prolonged cheers)—and Moir—a longer list than any which had ever concen trated their rays in one blaze of beauty.—(Renewed cheers.) Mr. Neaves concluded an eloquent speech, by asking the company to drink the names of Wordsworth, Campbell. and sloore, and the long list of contemporaries of which their country could boast.—(The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.) Mr. J. T. G ORDON, in proposing the Memory of Barbs, said, he had no feeling of sorrow—he had no words of melancholy preface to utter, in asking a cup of tributary respect to Robert Burns. On the contrary, it was with a pride, which, though national, he yet knew to be so just and true, that he exulted in it, and with an enthusiasm which perhaps only a Scotsman could un derstand ; although none knowing the kindness and gen tleneas and at the same time the manliness of Burns, wow appreciate that enthusiasm better than their dis tinguished guest. Surely it needed nothing to recom mend the memory of him, whose memory was as green at that moment as the leaves were then on his own banks of Doon, and which flowed as freely through the width and length of the lanai as the waters of his beloved Nith. He was it man, that would have been of mark in any way. Born of that stalwart race—our country's honour —inured to their hardships, accustomed to their toils, it 'night have so pleased Heaver., that he should have passed his life the admiration of his village, for " The might that slumbered in a peasant's arm." But it was otherwise decreed. And when the air of poetry :noved the latent strings in his heart, beautifully and swela:ng mine over a whole people the straies that showed ". The might that slumbered in a peasant's soul." The fabled horse of old struck out with his hoof a foun tain from which the Muses drank ; but when this pea sant's plough .;.reoke the clod, the people of Scotland soon after heard the'lark rise to the sky, and saw the daisy droop its w ithaved head as they had never done he fore, -because they }lac; quaffed an intoxicating cup from a well which they felt 11,111 given glory to the grass and splendour to the ilower.--4,lpplause.) ~W ere they not justified in the adoration alnica't approaching to idolatry with which the people of Scot.and regarded the me mory of Burns ? And idolatry it . it were, it was not the worship of a false fire.--e Cheers.- 1 - a were needless, it were idle to enter upon the character Of Ike: Ils e on his merits or his failings—for failings he had, since tht:Te is no clay so purified in the furnace of earthly trial as to be spotless. But surely if ever facility and felicity were combined, it was in him. Not easier does the wind shake the down from the thistle than did the stirring of genius shake off from his soul those in many senses numerous strains embodying the most exquisite fancy's tenderest sentiment, and the sublimest aspirations.— (Much applause.) But one word more. It was cer tainly no small praise, that even now as the world passed, when mental cultivation was everywhere ad vancing, and in the race of knowledge men were, pressing on each other's heels, amid the various , arts , and accom plishments, and manifold aequireeaents of our present time, there was not a man but came back gently and sweetly to the natural song sung by. our native bard. The Learned Gentleman sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. Mr. DICKENS said—l have the honour to be entrusted -with a toast, the very mention of which will recommend itself to you, I know, as one possessing no ordinary claims to your sympathy and approbation, and the pro posing of which is as congenial to my wishes and feel ings as its acceptance must be to yours. It is the health of our Chairman—(Loud cheering)—and coupled with his name, I have to propose the Literature of Scotland — a literature which he has done much to render famous through the world ; and of which he has been for many years—as I hope and believe that he will be for many more—(Loud cheers)—a most brilliant and distinguished ornament. Who can revert to the literature of the hand of Scott and of Burns,. without having directly in his mind, as inseparable from the subject, and foremost in the picture, that old man of might, with his lion heart and seeptred crutch—Cristopher North ?—(Loud cheers.) lam glad to remember the time when I be lieved him to be e real, actual, veritable old gentleman— that might be seen any day hobbling along the High street, with the most brilliant eye—but this is no fiction — and the grayest hair in all the world ; who wrote not because he cared to write—not because he cared for the wonder and admiration of his fellow-men, but who wrote because he could not help it—(Loud cheers) — because there was always springing up in his mind a clear and sparkling stream of poetry which must have vent, and, like the glittering fountain in the fairy tale, draw what you might was ever at its full, and never languished even by a single drop or bubble.—(Cheers.) Ihad so figured him in my mind, and when I saw the Professor two days ago striding along the Parliament House, I was disposed to take it as a personal offence—l was - vexed to see him look so hearty—l drooped to see twenty 'Christophers in one—l began to think that Scottish life was all lights and no shadows—(Loud cheers)—and I began to doubt of that beautiful book to which I have turned again and again always to find new beauties and fresh sources of interest.—(Cheers.) It has been the happy lot of Scotland that her great writers have loved to exhibit her various forms, whether in scenes of soli tary grandeur or her simple village ways. The mighty genius who lately departed from you was equally at home in the wild grandeur of Highland scenery or the burning sands of Syria, and in the low haunts of Lon don life ; while there is not a shepherd or a peasant who bas not his type immortalised in the verse of him whose hand was on the plough while his heart was with the muse. There is not a glen or a lonely haunt in the Highlands which has not been visited by Christopher in his shooting-jacket, with a heart as free and wild as the winds that swept over him. His voice has been heard from the lonely heaths and the snow-drifts of the mountains—in the highways of Edinburgh—and in the caves of the Covenanters. By his genius every foot of ground in Scotland has been pictured to the dwellers afar off as a fairy land.—(Loud cheers.) It is difficult to follow th e Professor through all the scenes he has depicted with suc h exquisite beauty, from the varied stores of his rich and teeming . fancy; so that the epitaph of Gold smith may be applied to him, that there was no sub ject btat he touched, and nothing which he touched that he did not adorn.—(Cheers.) But the literature of Scotian d c omprises other names which are famili ar t o you—poets, historians, critics, all of the foremost rank. The Learned Lord, whom I am proud to call my friend, (Cheers) —to whom, by his fine taste and just apprecia tion of the beauties of an author, literature owes so much, and to the generosity of whose nature those who have borne high testimony —the au are opposed to him thor of Matthew Wal d and Adam Blair, who has latel y depicted with a vivid colouring the.. last day s o f the mighty genius who depar ted on the banks of the ri ver h e loved so well—the gentleman who is present amongst us, and who, under the signature of Delta---(Loud cheers)—has given the world assurance of a poet, and has raised in us- all admiration • which we would fain be sit liberty to increase still farther by . ineethig him often er —these and other names are all includetrin the toast, which we drink to do honour not t o them, butao our sertes.—(Loud cheers.) Professor WILSON said, this was not the first time that he had had the honour of presiding at such a mee ti eg ares this, and , though sadly deficient in that energy and live genii.* which he was said to possess; ye t he mould yield to:tuaman its that deep affection for his native lan d which characterized its inhabitants ; and in allowing that their feelings-occasionally kindled a sparkling of some thing like' genius in his own breast, and whieli attracted some notice to the humble efforts he had made. In his (Professor W.'s) own person he bad never been indiffe rent to the fame and reputation of others—sometimes he had brought forth neglected merit--(Cheers)—and with .respect to the literature of Scotland, he might be permit ted to say that in some departments it was distinguished mat at this moment by some still living, and in some only lately. They have made a most distinguished figure, and given delineations of the national character :that would last for ever. The names of Hamilton, of Grant, and of Brunton (lie continued) are not li'; ely to the forgotten. They have indeed parted from us, but their memory is fresh and green ; and it may be said of them, not one line they ever wrote could they have wished to blot. They had the true genius of their country ; they'were true to the earnes t ness an d pi e ty of the religion which characterised their native land ; and they drew mealy beautiful pictures that will l as t f or eve r. There are two distinguished • female writers amongst us yet—there are others—but allow me to mention the names of Ferrier and J o t a nstone.--(Cheers.) The Learned Gen tleman then referred. to the progress of the fine arts, which, he said, were alt conceived and executed in the same spirit to poetry and fiction. lie would close in a few words, by ,-mentioning the name of his distinguished and excellent fried, Mr. William Allan. They all knew how adventurous leis youth was, which led him far from his native country ; ; end they all knew that, impelled by his adventurous spiria and genius, lie studied the man ners, customs, and habits of thosejwho lived in other dimes, and that he had produced on the, canvass these pictures of the customs and habits of those countries, and thus made them visible to all who • had an opporta nity of beh o ldi ng t h em. H e likewise devoted his genius to themes connected with his own .Professor conclude d by country. The Learned proposing :and the Fine Arts the health of Mr. Allan Mr. ALLAN returned l e is h um bl e ar ol s i nce re thanks for the ho nour t h ey had done him, and expreaeati his de- • N allialmalarearma•••• l .,.., light that there were many distinct ished in the arts in Scotland who would do honour to• any country. He ventured to think that, ere long, the fine arts would reach the eminence attained by l t iterary scie nee. Mr. PATRICK ROBERTSON was afraid that he would be considered a little intrusive on the order of the toasts of the evening ; but he hoped that the communication he had to make, and which had just been put into his hands, would be an apology for this apparent intrusion. Such was the rapidity of the periodical press, that he found that a newspaper called the Edinburgh Evening Courant—so called because it was published at six o'clock in the morning, and which was expected to c:me out to-morrow morning—had already published an account of the business of the evening's proceed ings ; and not only an account of what had actually ' taken place, but had reduced that account into most ad mirable poetry. He had no doubt that it would interest the meeting ; and although he was not a shareholder in the said newspaper, he would take the liberty of reading the prefatory matters. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read a paper :—" A splendid meeting took place last night—Professor 'Wilson in -the (Laughter.) A stout gentleman acted as croupier.— (Renewed langhter.) We wish to present our readers first with a serious description of the more tragic part of the proceedings ; and, secondly, with some of those lighter flights of fancy by which the evening was distin guished."—(Continued laughter.) The Learned Gen tleman then proceeded to read a number of verses in poetry, referring to the various characters in Mr. Dickens' works. Much humour and wit were displayed in the composition, and the reading of them excited great laughter and cheering, Mr. LUDOVIC COLQI3IIOIIN, Advocate, said, the high honour has been assigned to me of proposing as a toast the health of a most learned and accomplished person, whose unavoidable absence from this meeting, deeply .. regretted by us all, has been so feelingly alliided to by his friend, our distinguished guest—l mean Lord Jef frey.--(Loud cheers.) Conscious as I am of my ina bility to do justice to that toast, I should have at once declined the duty, otherwise most gratifying, of propos ing it, was I not conscious, at the same time, that the toast is indeed one which requires no preface, and that eulogy and eloquence—eloquence even such as that which has delighted us to-night—could add nothing to the feelings of respect and admiration with which all who hear me must regard its eminent subject, With such feelings, then, towards Lord Jeffrey, surely we should rejoice that we have been favoured with an oppor tunity so fitting as that which the present occasion affords, of testifying, with the pride and affection becom ing his fellow-citizens, that we appreciate as we ought a man whose genius and attainments have long since won for him a memorable name, not merely among ourselves, or in this country, but in every land where the language and literature of Britain are known.—(Cheers.) Such a name is not lightly or easily won ; it can neither be acquired nor retained without correspondent merit ; for the very condition of fame is high and . authentic desert. —(Applause.) It is not for me—it would be presump tion, and, in an assembly like this, altogether superflu ous to discuss, or even to indicate the grounds of Lord Jeffrey's well-earned celebrity. But amidst the many . , which might be indicated—amid the many indisput able claims he possesses on our veneration and gratitude —I trust I may be permitted to allude very briefly to one—the unparalleled and inestimable services lie has rendered to the periodical literature of our country. — (Cheers.) He found it in a state of helpless, and seem ingly hopeless decrepitude. He reanimated it, or rather, to speak more correctly, he called into existence a species of literature absolutely new, with which that displaced by it had nothing in common but the name. He infused into this new creation an energy and a fire, and in vested it with a dignity and a grace, of which, till then, periodical literature had Scarcely, afforded an indication, and with which, indeed, judging froin the'past, it might have : been supposed ,irreconcilable. He net only de monstrated that the periodical press was capable of being made the most efficient of engines for disseminating instruction and information on every branch of human knowledge, but he actually made if such ; and he re laxed not in his efforts till he saw that press become, as, thanks to him, it has now long been, the chosen medium through which the best and ripest intellects hold com m,:.nion with their kind.—(Applause.) If we would in quire i k :to the means by which he effected a revolution, so mighty ii; its character, so salutary in its results, we need but call to recollection the almost endless series of original and exquisite map, which, in swift and unin terrupted succession, einanstAci from that most fertile of minds—essays, embracing in their range every depart ment of literature and art, and nearly every department of science—infinitely varied, therefore, in their subjects, but each and all bearing the unequivocal impress of a master-head, each and all characterised by a masculine vigour of argument, and universality of knowledge, a force and felicity of illustration, a prodigality of wit, a beauty and dazzling brilliancy of style, rarely seen in such perfection even singly, probably never before found so happily combined ; we need, I repeat, but look to these, and we can be little at a loss to divine the means by which the triumph was effected, and surely as little disposed to question the character of Lord Jeffrey's fame. —(Loud cheers.) But, if any thing could enhance the splendour of that triumph—if any thing were still want ing to consummate the fame of him who achieved it— surely it would be found in the fact that these precious contributions to the literary glory of our country were made, not by a recluse student, lapped in lettered ease, but by one, who, while he made them, was immersed, daily and hourly, in the toils of a profession certainly sufficiently toilsome, among the members of which, while he stood second to none in learning, he stood paramount in eloquence and every forensic accomplishment.—(The toast was then drank amidst loud applause.) Mr DICKENS sag lam less fortunate than the two gentlemen who ha* preceded me in their toasts, for I have to mention a name known to all present, but. which I cannot utter at this time without deep sorrow—a name in which Scotland had a high and endearing pride, which England delighted to honour, and which was che rished in the breast of every reflecting man throughout the whole civilised world. From among the gifted spi rits of our times a gentle, honest, generous, and true one has passed away, as it were .but yesterday. The life of one devoted to all that was true, and beautiful, and elevating in art and in nature, hath come to an end. I willgive you the memory of Wilkie. It is not as one whom many of us knew and loved—it is not as one whose simple nature his high fame and fortune never spoiled or changed—it is not as one who acted up to what he taught, and who made the domestic virtues and beauties his daily practice, that I think of him to-night. I think of him as one, and you should do so too, who has left behind him unwonted fire, who has left an un dying and imperishable name—who made the cottage hearth his grave theme, and who surrounded the lives, and cares, and daily toils and occupations of the poor with dignity and beauty—who, indeed, found sermons in stones, and books in streams, and good in everything —and who left in all his works the same breathing- of health as of the air wafted from the heather of his na tive land.—(Cheers.) However desirous one may be, on an occasion like the present, to separate his memory from those mournful associations which gather around it, it is impossible; they are peculiarly inseparable from him ;—the painter's study, with the empty easel, the brush and pallet which he was wont to use now lie idly by ;—his unfinished pictures turn their faces to the wall —and that bereaved and affectionate mourner whom he loved in his days to honour, will look upon him no more. He is gone, and has left behind him, particu larly to his countrymen and to all who knew him, a name and a fame as pure and unsullied as the bright sky which shines above the painter's grave. He has filled our minds and memories with what is mournful, yet as soothing as the rolling of the blue waters over his honoured head. Mindful of his only sister, I cannot help expressing the hope that the time will shortly come *hen, she, like us, will feel a solemn pleasure in speaking of his goodness and greatness, and when ,'she will have the grateful recollection that he died in . the fulness of his powers, before age and sickness had dimmed his sight or had bowed his head. Mr. Dickens was much affected during the delivery of this s;aeech, particularly at those passages more especially referring to, Sir David Wilkie's death. The toast was drank in solemn silence: The Hon. Mr. PRIMROSE proposed a toast which he was sure would meet with all their approbation—the health of Mr. Patrick . Robertson.—(Cheers.) Whether they regarded him as the first in a most learned pro fession—as a most distinguished orator in this great city —as one of the beSt and earnest promoters of conviviality — (Laughter)—or as the " stout gentleman acting as cr oupier"—.(Laughter)—he was quite sure that if they Tie Ar r i c ll . l n r. n i n t E o n i a remembered him in one or all of these respects, the bum per he was to propose would be prodigioug.—(Laughter.) The Honourable Gentlemaniproposed their "great crou great pleasur e i n in originating T er s ts osi °ll ;eturned thanks, and said that he felt being one of those " who ' were instru mentaland forwarding the business of the of the evening. What steps they had taken,. And he would only already passed was a complete jus tificationsay that he was n to him for the cordiality and kindly exertions in any capacit y his feelings show fellow-citizens, and that his Mr. FLETCIIER said, capacity were entirely at their disposal. although he would make the s h o rtest speech of the evening, yet he was sure it would and enthusiasti c rece ption. m eet with the most cordial It had been said that the genius of of Mr. Di c k ens was i rd would say that English ; but he d emurred to it was half English and half Scotch, as he was un doubtedly p o sed the health connected of with Mrs.aDickens, Scottish which w as d ran k 1 lie then pro amidst great applause. Mr. DICKENS returned thanks, and said that his wife was a Scotchwoman , and was born in this city. M r . P. __ROBERTSON proposed °+ Mr. M urray and the Drama." Mr. MURRAY--Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I need not say how deeply I feel the honour you have con ferral upon me ; and I will freely confess that, seeing my name in the list of toasts, I had endeavoured to con coct what you, with your usual kindness towards me, might have deemed a very tolerable speech—(Laughter) —but really, Gentlemen, considering the lateneis of the hour, and the great talent which has preceded me, it would be an absurdity, nay, almost an impertinence for me to intrude upon your patience by—(Here Mr. Murray was met by cries of "No , no," "Go on," accompanied with great applause.) Well, Gentlemen, perhaps it will be better for the general effect that I should g o on. "M y friend Allan will tell you how valua ble shade is in a pic ture, perhaps it may prove equally so at a public dinner, and, after the brilliant display you have heard this even ing, a little calm mediocrity, or even positive failure, may be an agreeable relief.—(Laughter and great ap plause.) I remember when the elite of London gave their dinner to John Kemble, upon his retirement from the stage, the stewards waited on the late Lord Holland, to request that he would take the chair on that occasion. His Lordship said that nothing would give him more pleasure, but added, " Gentlemen, I fear you have made a bad choice. In the House of Lords can worry a Minister, or badger a Bishop, with any man, but I am a wretched speaker at a THE S public dinner." So, jumping from great to small, place me upon my own boards, and I think I can wind up a season, pacify a pit, nay, coax a gallery—(Loud laughter) —aye, even when crowded with the storniy, sixpences of a second price—(Grcat laughter and ap plause)—with most men of my trade ; btit you must ho well aware, that flourishing in the set phrases of a theatre, where, as children say, you have all the talk to yourself, is widely different from following in the wake of such eloquence as you have listened to to-night, and, I fear, my thanks will fall miserably short of what they ought to be.—(Cries of " No," and loud applause.) lam well aware that much of what Mr. Robertson has been pleased to say of me, has been coloured by those feel ings of private regard with which he honours me ; and I am equally aware, that the cordiality with which you have responded to his compliments, has sprung more from your kindness to an old servant, than to any merit that old servant possesses.—(Renewed cries of " No," and great applause.) .Well, Gentlemen, merit or no merit, I am truly grateful for the honour you have done me, and thank you for it from the very bdttom of my heart. —(Long and continued cheers.) With regard to the drama, I wish the lady could embody herself, and ex press her obligations in propria persona.—(Laughter)— for really her moral character is looked upon with so much suspicion by one half of the world, and she is deemed so unfashionable a personage by a large Proportion of the other, that it is . scarcely credit ;tble for a staid sober man, and the father of a family like myself—(Laughter)—to hare anything to do with the unfortunate woman.—(Continued laughter.) Still something may be said for her.—(Loud applause.) If, with some few yet bright exceptions, her authors and actors have somewhat fallen below the standard of former days, pardon me when I say that a deficiency of vegetation is not always the fault of the soil, it some times proceeds from want of sun.—(Loud cries of hear, and applause.) The truth is, the drama has been some what " left and abandoned of her velvet friends,"—the higher classes ; and, of course I think them wrong. Their presence,—especially the ladies,—acted as a sort of moral police, before which no manager or performer dared court the applause of the million by one act or word repugnant to right feeling or good taste.—(Conti nued applause.) Theatres are powerful engines ; and you may raise or degrade them, but you cannot crush them. Sir Walter Scott has told us that " a lore of theatrical amusement is inherent in human nature ;" and I am certain that we might as well attempt to sweep the name of Shakspeare from the page of our na tional literature, as banish the art he has immortalised. (Loud cheering.) Then let us hope that the upper ranks will rally round the drama, and prevent her from being made a positive evil, in vitiating the tastes of her more humble patrons.—(Continued applause.) I own her prospects in this respect are mending—(Applause)— and I augur most favourably from th return of Mr. Macready to theatrical management.—(Applause.) His great taste and talent as an actor, and what is of more consequence, his moral worth as a man, must benefit the cause.—(Loud applause.) He is also the friend of our distinguished guest—and I may, possibly, add the names of Knowles, Talfourd, and of Bulwer—one whose pen would do right good service to the stage,—a pen which has proved its mastery over all the passions of the human heart in every rank of life.—(Applause.) I need not mention names—(Loud applause)—range from the dark malignity of a Ralph Nickleby, to the noble generosity of the Brothers Cheeryble.—(Applause.) Look at Newman Noggs.—(Here the remembrance of Mr. Murray's performance of that character caused long and tremendous cheering.) Observe the wreck of a kindly heart peering through the dirt dissipation has thrown around him, and then contrast his bloated fea- tures with the pallid cheek of the infant withering under the lash of that mercenary pedagogue whom my friend Mr. Robertson so admirably contrasted with the honest hezlrted Dominie.—(Cheers) In short,' Gentlemen, range from one end of his writings to the other, and tell .me if such delineations would not create actors.—(Great ap plause.) We should again hold the mirror up to nature —again breathe the fresh air of truth, instead of being stifled amidst the red and blue fires of melodramatic ab surdity.—(Great and long continued applause.) Gen tlemen, I truly appreciate the compliment you have paid me by listening so patiently at such an hour, and con clude with laying before you my best and most grateful acknowledgments.—(Great applause.) Captain HARRINGTON proposed the health of Mr. Fletcher and the other Stewards, after which the meeting separated about twelve o'clock. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHES TER. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. The " nomination day" has been productive of some of the heaviest betting we remember for a long time. The room was well attended; a few influential Liverpool gentlemen dropt in to give an impetus to speculation. Calypso amt Charles were backed at .8 to 1, in hundreds, fifties, ponies, scores, &c. with much spirit; the latter left off a point in advance, as his backer offered to take 7CO to 100, or any part, about him, as the room broke up. The Recorder, the Young-'un, and Orelia were all backed, but were not in force yesterday ; Milksop a good deal inquired after. The elections added a variety to the important Cup proceedings.

TREATISE ON SOILS.—Mr. Moreton, of Chester Hill, Gloucestershire, author of a pamphlet on this subject, and who is carrying on Lord Ducie s Example Farm at Crom Hall, Gloucestershire, whilst engaged in surveying farms in Sussex, being asked his opinion of the proposed change in the Corn-laws, replied, " In the years 1833, 1834, 1835. 1836, and 1837, wheat averaged 48s. the quarter. He had 1,500,000 quarters of bonded corn, and in 1836, exported so much to France and America as makes it probable, if the Corn-laws are changed, the price of wheat will not on an average be under 48s. per quarter. For the last fourteen years wheat has averaged 565., and should it fall to 485., which is a shilling a bushel, this would not be a loss to the farmer of a 7th part, but only of a 14th part ; because no good tenant takes two seed-bearing crops in succession, and roots often pay the farmer better than wheat. I have raised twenty-six tons of turnirs per acre, and sold them to farmers for twenty-six pounds, and the increased demand for fatted meat, when wheat was low, occasioned the Scotch farmers to give in evidence before the House of Commons, that by im proved agriculture, with wheat at 40s. a quarter, they were making handsome profit."—June 24, 1841, with what else ap peared-in the Mark-lane Express of June 28. This is offered in hopes of allaying the fears of a change in the Corn-laws, which at this time was felt by many well-wishers to their country. ACCIDENT TO LUMLEY COTTON, ESQ.— On Tuesday afternoon this gentleman, who resides in Euston square, was riding a high-spirited horse in Hyde Park, when the animal suddenly became restive, and shying from one side of the road to the other, threw his rider with great violence. Assistance was procured, and Mr. Cotton was removed in a carriage to his own residence, where he was found to have re ceived- a severe concussion on the brain. CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Tuesday an inquest was held before W. Carter, Esq., the coroner for Surrey, at the Swan Inn,. Kennington, respecting the death of Arthur French, Esq., who destroyed himself by leaping from the third floor-window of his house, No 10, Holland-place, Brix ton-road. The deceased was formerly a ship-chandler in the City, where he made a large fortune. He was 75 years of ge. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." STOP, ELECTOR, READ AND PONDER THE FOLLOWING UNDOUBTED FACT BEFORE YOU 00 TO THE PoLL.—A few days ago a gentleman of high respectability related to me the following fact :—He said, " I belonged to a manufacturing firm in a south-western country. Our buildings cost ns 50,0001. We manufactured fine woollen goads largely, for the American market. Our correspondent wrote to us, say ing, ' Gentlemen, it is impossible for us to pay you for your goods any longer, unless von will take half in produce. Money we cannot get.' We refilled, 'We cannot do so ; the law will not allow us to import your produce, except at a ruinous loss.' Our orders ceased, and we were obliged to shut up our manufactory. Part of our men emigrated to America, and are there employed in making the same kind of goods which we had made. Part went to Russia, and compose with others an establishment which the Emperor has established there, employing 7,000 men. Our buildings, which cost us 50,00 a., we hare sold for 4,0001. to be pulled down. Thus the whole business is lost to England for ever, and gained by America and Russia, with all its collateral branches." This is a specimen of what the Corn-law has done, is doing, and will do for your working men, manufacturers, and merchants! Go now and vote, if you please, for the supporters of this law, and taus seal jour own destruction and that of your country ere long ! Correspondent of the Liverpool Times. FIVE LIVES LOST AT PLYMOUTIL—SiX boys, aged from 7 to IS, took a ship's boat en Sunday, the 13th, and went to Casssand, where they remained about two hours. On reaching the Sound, on their return, one of the lads cried so bitterly that a humane waterman who was passing took him into his own boat and brought him home. No tidings were heard of the others until Ss.turdav, the 26th, when the bodies of two of them were picked up in Ilatten-bay. The lad who was taken out states, that at Cawsand they had some spirits, and when they got into the boat again one of the senior boys kept stepping on the gunwale and rolling her from side to side , a nd occasionally going to the mast-head. It is conjectured that in one of these foolhardy freaks the ballast shifted, and the, boat must have been insttntly swamped, thus consigning the whole to an untimely end. Miss Pardee, the well-known authoress of " The Pity of the Sultan," has just received a present from Reschid Casha, from Constantinople. It is a large brooch, of which the centre is a yellow cornehan, with an inscription in Turkish , thus translated :—" In thi s wor ld it i s merit which is really worthy of honour, and thus those who possess it are the most esteemed." The engraved stone is surrounded by a circle of large brilliants of the finest Water, and of considerable value. NDON THURSDAY, JULY i, 1841: HE ELECTIONS. CITY. *DECLARATION OE THE NUMBERS. announcement of the numbers pulled for the several candidates took place yesterday in the Guildhall at two o'clock. In consequence of a doubt which existed in the course of Tues day afternoon as to the numbers polled, considerable interest was excited, the Conservative party stoutly maintaining that three of their candidates,namely, Lyall, Alasterma.n, and Att- wood, were returned, while the Liberals were equally sanguine as to the success of Wood and Lord John Russell. As early as twelve o'clock vast crowds were congregated in front of the Guildhall and in the body of the hall, and before one o'clock it was almost as densely packed as on the day of no mination. The crowd was much more orderly in its conduct than on the former occasion, and waited with great patience and without any of the usual manifeitations of feeling by cheer ing or hooting till the time arrived for declaring the numbers. At a few minutes before two o'clock Mr. Sheriff GIBBS came forward and said, The Sheriffs do declare and proclaim that, upon casting up the poll lists, it appears that there were polled for John Masterman Sir Matthew Wood George tyall Lord John RusFell 6,221 Wolvcrly Attwood. . , 6,212 James Mattison William Crawford 6,065 Alderman Pirie 6,017 , The announcement of the numbers for the several candidates was received with the most vociferous cheering, hooting, his sing, and all the usual indescribable noises of a hotly-contested election. The applause for Lord John Russell was general throughout the hall, and far exceeded that for any of the other candidates. The SHERIFF then declared the election to have fallen 'upon the four first-named candidates, and the cheering and uproar was renewed and continued for several minutes. Mr. MawrEirmax then stepped forward, and was received with mingled cheers and hissing. He said he felt deeply grate ful to the electors of London for the proud position in which they had placed him. He could only reiterate the promises which he had before made, thathe would use his utmost endea vours and the best of his abilities in their service:and for promot ing the benefit of all. If he could require any inducement to perform the duty imposed upon him he had only to point to the figures—to the place he held on the poll. He would not detain them further than by saying that if any irritation Lad arisen during the contest he hoped it would now be allayed, and that they would all go on as good friends. Sir MATTHEw WOOD said, on the day of nomination he told them that he would be successful—he was sure hewould win. He knew that - among the good looking countenances he then saw before him ho would find few who would turn off an old and tried servant. They would find him at his post at all times. He never woull neglect the cause of tae people, but would use his bekt, energies in that cause. If he was not so well received by some gen tlemen as by the great body of the electors , still he would not be offended. He had never made his politics the subject :of table talk—his opinions had alasays been openly stated before the people—they were made manifest by his votes. He was the representative of all parties, and would do as much for the gentlemen who were displeased with him as for his friends. He had no ambition as to the place he occupied on the poll. He had often been at, the top, but when he was, the represen tative of the City he would do his duty whatever place he oc cupied upon the poll. Many important questions must soon come under consideration in the House of Commons—they might rely upon it that he would be at his post, and vote, whether it was one, two, three, or four o'clock in the morn.- ing, in favour of the people.—("Where is Lord John Russell ?") He would tell them. He was in the neighbourhood, and would oon be in that hall. He returned them many thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and would show his gratitude by his votes. Mr. LTALL then oame forward aad was received with loud cheers and hisses. He said this wasthe fourth contest in which he had been engaged in support of Conservative principles. He had done so because he believed that course the best calculated to promote the real and permanent 'interests , of the people-- (Cheers and hisses). = .yrhich he conceived should be the.great tied primary object of all legislation. So far as himself and his colleagues were concerned, they had conducted the contest without any asperity of feeling, and he was therefore sorry to hear that his opponents accused them of contrary conduct. He had never uttered one syllable to their disparagement, and he regretted that he had not received from them the courtesy he had given to them. Having on other occasions en tered into explanations of his political principles, he need not do so on that o ccas i on . He regretted he had not been able to visit so many of hi. constituents as he could wish, but he hoped to have frequent opportunities of meeting them. He wished before he concluded to express his acknowledg ments for the excellent arrangements that had been made by the Sheriffs, and Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner of Police, and other parties to ensure peace and tranquillity, and remove all obstructions in the way of a free election.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) In this they had been eminently successful, for he did not believe a great contest like that could have been conducted with greater proprie'y or less difficulty, and for these reasons he begged to retu=rn to those gentlemen his grateful acknowledgments.—( Cheers and confusion. ) 1 here being now loud cries for Lord John Russell, Mr. PERKINS came forward, and assured the audience that Lord John Mussel' would be there in a few minutes. His Lordship had so many friends present who had exerted them selves in his favour, but he was sure he would be anxious, and that they would allow him a few moments to arrive and return them thanks in person.—( Loud cheers.) , Mr. W. ATTWOOD, amid great confusion, said that after having presented himself to solicit at their hands the honour of representing them, he need scarcely say that it was with feelings of sore disappointment and of con siderable regret that he had observed the return that had been made to them. But, at the same time, he could not be so far actuated by personal feelings as not to remembe-, that although individually the result had not been what he had personally wished and anticipated, yet that that result had afforded a great triumph and valuable victory to the Conservative cause with which he was connected.—( Cheers and hisses. ) Let them look at the state of the represLtation then, and compare it with what it was.—Cheers and hisses. ) 'the leader of her Ma'esty's Government had appealed to them for their opinions, and what had been the 'answer? They had placed him lowest on the poll.—( Cheers antlithses;) -- ite knew he stood before them then, having no titli to their attention, save to thank them for the extraordinary support he had re ceived. He could scarcely have conceived it possible that so much moderation should have been shown by the electors in resisting the appeals that had been made to them, and how evr he might regret tha apparent result of that election as respected himself, at the same time he must congratulate them on the manner in which it had terminated, and express his gratitude to them for the manner in which he had been supported. Whether the numbers declared were correct or not, an oppor tunity would be quickly afforded of ascertaining; but under any circumstances he could have but one feeling towards the electors of 'London, and that was gratitude. With respect to the result of the present contest, though it was not now success ful to him personally, yet he was satisfied that the Conservative cause had obtained great glory in it.—(Cheers. ) Mr. DILLON then came to the front of the hustings, and amidst loud and deafening cheers,' said that the present was a glorious triumph.--(Cheers.) Lord John Russell would be there immediately, and he (Mr. Dillon) called on them to await the Noble Lord's coming. Mr. Pattison was unavoidably absent, but they ought not to forget that he was a man zealous in their interests, that he was a man of highly respectable character, and of Liberal principles.— (Cheers.) That gentleman was not at the head of the poll, but when they needed his assistance they would find him forth coming. Let faem remember that the present contest was, as he told them at the beginning of; the election, a contest, not between persona, but between principles.—(Cheers.) They had not there to-day the long-shore men who filled the corner yonder..--( Cheers. ) Let them recollect that that contest was not to end there. Other elections were to take place elsewhere, and he again begged them to remember that the conflict going on was one between Liberal and Tory principles —that Lord J. Russell and the Ministry, of which he was a Member, had, as their main object, so to adminis ter the taxation of this country that the people would not be too heavily pressed on by that debt which the Tories had entailed upon them. The Government were desirous of paying that debt honourably, and meant to do so, without taxing directly, or crippling the industry of the country.—( Cheers. ) They were, on the contrary, endea vouring to unchain the industry of the country ; and every means should be adopted to second them in their exertions, so that the people might be the better able to bear taxa tion which the Tories, and none but the Tories, had inflicted on them. The Tories said they were not Tories—they were ashamed of the name—they called themselves Conservatives. —( A cry of " Destructives. ') Here Lord John Russell made his appearance on the platform, and Mr. Dillon retired. Lord J. RUSSELL then presented himself in front of the hustings, and was received , with, a tremendous burst of cheer ing and waving of hats, the ladies in the [gallery waving their scarfs and handkerchiefs. The applause which was literally deafening, and which was renewed whenever a feeble attempt was made to get up a hiss continued for some minutes, during which the Noble Lord, who appeared in excellent spirits, bowed and smiled good-humouredly to the crowd. When silence had been in some measure restored, he said Gentlemen, I come here to return you my most cordial thanks for the honour you have done me in electing me one of your representatives.—(Tremendous cheering.) I knew perfectly well when I commenced this contest that I could obtain a seat in Parliament elsewhere with little difficulty, and with the support of the great majority of the electors, of places which I should be ambitious of representing.—( Cheers.) I sat in the last Parliament as the representative of an intelligent, re spectable, and independent body of eleCters, who woad again I firmly believe have confided their interests to my hands. But the fact that this was an occasion on which, if the baffle 'was to be fought against those:strongly-combined interests, it was necessary to show no fear, no hesitation, and to fight that battle even where those interests might be the strongest, and where those combinations might be the most formidable— (Tremendous cheering)—Gentlemen, in commencing this strugele in the City of London, I knew that I was exposing, you who had done me the honour of voting for me to great difficulties—to menaces, and to temptations of every kind. (Loud cheers.) But I 'relied upon the free and hold spirit of the electors of the City of London to give a proof that they at least would not be afraid of choosing' as your represen tative a Minister who had been deelared by the House of Com mons unworthy of their confidence—( Vehement and long-con. the battle to relieve the community who were oppresse d b y the tinued cheering)—because he had placed himself in the front of burdens which particular classes lied laid upon them.—(Loud cries of " Bravo.") From any body of electors less important and less numerous than you are, the answer to the appeal made by the Sovereign to her people would have been less authentic and less decisive.—( Cheers.) Coming from you, it does convey to the whole of the United Kingdom a herald of principles to the great interests of the people, and a knell of dismay to those protected inte rests which have thought themselves safe in their strength, in their numbers, and in their confederacy.—(Loud cheers. ) For, depend upon it, Gentlemen, after the return you have made, the present Corn-laws cannot be continued on its pre sent footing. You will not expect, I am sure, that in such an assemblage I should attempt to go through figures and calculations, or that I should endeavour to confute the fallacious statements that have been made else where with respect to the benefits of the present Corn-law. One argument, and one only will I give in favour of what is called the sliding scale. That sliding scale, be it remembered, which, it would appear from the addresses of the Committee of those who were lately my opponents, is for the future to be reckoned amongst the arneent institutions of the country, and therefore you are called upon to reverence the law of 1826, as you were formerly called upon to revere the Consti tution of 1688.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") You were ',old then that the great benefit of the sliding scale is tir,t when corn becomes dear the ports arc at once *pen t sk'nd that corn sophistry, a v r e y r , y is little to tally_ reflection wantin_g _ w an ill truth will then bo. admitted, an d a moderate pr i ce wily required as the price p h ri ow ee ev o e f r su th a s t t a °ct ine il d by But. ohist con vince any man that this argument, however plausibly put forth, because you must be aware, that no market can receive a con stant supply unless there be a constant demand. Take the case ( of the meat and vegetables brought to market in this great metropolis.—(flear. ) Your supply is constant and large, but the market is well supplied because the demand never ceases—because the demand is repeated yeas after year, and those who have to suppl y ; ,t—the farmer s the grazier, and the market gardener, know where they can tr go fir the sale of the-commodities in which they deal. But if you were to render those markets unsteady, if you vary them from year to year—if they csuld only sell half or a quarter of their produce one year, then the same supply as now comes would not come, and the great markets of the metropolis would be subjected to constant fluctuations—you would have meat and vegetables sometimes at famine prices, and at others the prices would be so low as almost to ruin the producers. Such is the obvious and convincing answer to the statements, that by the sliding scale we can always command a sufficient supply of corn. We know that from the present laws foreign countries do not now cultivate their lands ; they cannot do so, because they are not sure of a market in this country for their produce. With re gard to the great question of an approximation to free trade, as it was justly called by the honourable and en lightened gentlemen who did me the honour to propose me, Mr. Jones Loyd, that approximation will soon receive the ap probation of those who are sent to represent you in the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) When 1 look back at other great struggles in which we have been engaged for the purpose of establishing sound and fair principles, I do not find that the same spirit was exhibited by the people at the com mencement as in the present instance. Look at the gnat question of religious liberty. For a long time the friends of religions liberty had to struggle hard before they obtained freedom for the Protestant Dissenter, and longer still before our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects of Ireland were admitted to the pririleaes of the Constitution. Look again at the great question of Parliamentary Reform, for how many years hail we to fight in the minority—contesting for that great cause in the House of Commons—when I look back at those struggles, I see that the aspect of the present question is far more encouraging than either of them, and I feel persuaded that whatever may be the number in the future House of Commons, who may oppose the measure which we her Majesty's Government have brought forward, it will not be long before free discussion, enlightened opinion the voice of truth will prevail, when those who have none but sophistical arguments and com bined interests to oppose to the urgent and convincing argument on which our system is founded must succumb. A gentleman near me asks me respecting the new Poor-law Upon that question there has not been any difference of opinion' between Sir R. Peel and myself. I believe it was his object, as it was mine, that indigence should be relieved, but at the same time that no encouragement should be given for a return to the vicious abuses of the former system. That question, however, has to come under discussion, and I am persuaded that upon that occasion the great majority of those returned to Parliament will consider it without reference to party distinction. Gentlemen, in the course of this elec tion I have had to contend with many misrepresenta tions, and with, in some instances, very care ful concealments. My opinions with respect to the Corn laws have been quoted, but the persons so quoting my opinions took good care to omit stating that those opinions were held by me in 1822. I confess, Gentlemen, that my opinions have been greatly altered since that period. My opinions suffered that change several years a g o, and you must remember that since 1822 I have had the benefit of hearing the speeches of Lord Ashburton and of Sir James Graham upon the subject, who also have changed their opi nions on this question, but in an opposite direction to me. Now those gentlemen claim, and call upon the public to believe, that they conscientiously altered their opinions. Surely, then, you will not deny to me the same credit whirls you gave to them, assd you will now allow me to use the same arguments which on former occasions were so ably enforced by them. lam aware that every effort has been made to induce you not to elect me as one of your representatives.-- (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") 1 am aware that having been for many years cornected with office, I was open to at tacks upon many of the various questions which have from time to time been brought under discussion in Par liament ; but will do me the justice to say, that I have never feared those attacks. I relied upon your good sense being able to distinguish what was the real question at issue ; and it always will be to me a source of great pride, that at the end of ten years of official life, I asked for the approval of the electors of the City of London, and that you have responded to that call, and placed me in the honourable situation of one of your Members. I feel deeply grateful to those electors who have supported me, and feel the greatest obligation to you for the brave and coura geous manner in which you have exerted yourselves in my behalf.- I consider myself now as Member for the City of London, and I consider that lam bound to attend to all its varied interests. I shall consider them as bound up with the general inte rests of the community, and I will give to them the deepest and most constant attention, while I have the honour to sit in Parliament- as your representative. Although you have now chosen me for the first time, I trust that when I appear before you again I will be enabled to prove that I have not been undeserving of the support which has been so generally given to ire. The Noble Lord then retired amidst loud and general cheering. On the motion of Sir M. Woon, seconded by Mr. W. ATT woon—" The thanks of the Hall were awarded to the Sheriffs for the strict impartiality with which they had presided over the election, which having been acknowledged by Mr. Sheriff Gibbs, Mr. MASTERMAN proposed, and Mr. BAYLIS seconded a vote of thanks to Mr. Commissioner Harvey for his efficient and judicious police arrangements. Mr. D. W. HARVEY then came forward amidst very gene ral cheering, and said, that throughout his public lift, of no in. considerable length, he uniformly recognised the public voice as the safest test of truth and justice.—(Cheers. ) They would all readily believe him when he said he felt grateful for that expression of their approbation, because the situation which it was his fortune to fill, was not one, as they were aware, calcu lated to elicit public applause ; and that man should be deserv ing of -popular approbation who so directed the police force that should be only a terror to the evil-doers and a safeguard to the doers of good.—( Hear, hear, and cheers. ) It was gratifying to him to find that that vote of thanks was moved by a gentleman whose politics were in all things ad verse to his (Mr. D. W. Harvey's), and that it was seconded by a gentleman who might be said to concur with the mover in polities. That was giving the surest testimony of the impar tiality of his conduct. Perhaps if there was anything required to give weight to that claim for impartiality it would be found in tee singular fact that the present was the first time in 23 years in which he was not the successful occupant of a seat in Parliament. Why he stood there as Commissioner of Police and not. a Member of the [louse of Commons, was perhaps more to his credit than it was to that of others.—( Cheers. ) The Crier then dissolved the Hall by proclamation. 1,034 1,024 897 795 1,421 ▪ 1,401 ▪ 1,258 1,191 1,618 1,587 1,391 1,247 1,874 1,631 1,516 TWO O'CLOCK. MARYLEBONE. The nomination for this Borough took place yesterday, and never was there an occasion of so much excitement in ,Alarylebone, since the passing of the Reform Bill. The hour arpointed by the Returning Officer for opening the election was two o'clock ; but so early as eleven o'clock a band of fel lows who, wearing the cards of Cabbell and Hamilton in their hats, and numbering not less than five or six hundred, took possession of the area next the hustings, and gave early indications, its the crowd gathered throughout the morn ing, of their determination not to let the election go ofl without the eclat of a riot, as was wont in the good old Tory times. Long before the commencement of the proceed ings, the whole space around and before the hustings, and down Portland-place, fully two-thirds was densely thronged. About half-past one o'clock, the carriages of Mr. Cahhell and Sir James Hamilton, with their families and friends, took up their station on the right-hand side of the hustings, ex tending in a line down Portland-place ; and soon afterwards the carriages of Sir Benjamin Hall anti Sir C. Napier, pre ceded by a band of music, and followed by about a dozen other carriages, gaily decorated with banners and pink favours, came up in procession, and formed a line on the left of the hustings. The scene was at this time exceedingly animated and imposing, and so far there seemed no reason to anticipate that any disorder should arise. A struggle, however, now took place for the position next the hustings, and the far greater part of the Tory ticket-men who held it were quickly removed. Sir BeNJAMIN HALL first presented himself on the plat form, and was greeted with the most enthusastic cheers. Sir CHARLES NAPIER. next came forward, and was hailed with the most deafening shouts of • cheering we ever heard. Some time afterwards Sir JAMES HAMILTON and Mr. CAB BELL al.o appeal% don the front of the platform, and took off their hats and bowed to the assembled electors, who, however, took not the slightest notice of them, but continued to cheer the Reform Candidates. Nor was Sir James Hamilton recognised by any of his supporters, excepting only his own livery servants and friends upon his carriage, although he stood a considerable time uncovered, bowing and waving a very white pocket-hand kerchief. In fact, the whole attention of even the Conservative hirelings was turned upon the Hero of Acre. Amidst the banners that were at this time displayed in various parts of the throng, was one bearing the motto of Sir B. Hall— " Undeb a Brawdgarwch," that is --" Unity, and Brotherly Love." In another place was seen a picture of the Siamese twins (two Blue -coat boys), with the inscription, " Hyena value your immor tal souls vote for us " There was also exhibited the contrastof the " Russell loaf," and the " Peel loaf," with some rats in a cage, and a small bit of bread between the bus, as an illustration of the Corn-law catechism ; and on the top of a pole the skeleton of a cat with the inscription underneath— " Starved to death by Charity Cabbell and Starvation Ha milton." _ ♦Whilst the cheering continued for the Reform candidates, a ruffian f whose disgraceful conduct it i 3 impossible to speak in terms too severe, mounted upon a good horse— and followed by a band of about five or six hundred, ranking six a-breast, and all, as well as their leader, wearing the Cabbell and Hamilton colours and the cards in their hats, rode into the crowd. He ordered his followers to pull down one of the principal banners, which was quickly effected, and a general row commenced. The other side re taliated, and in a quarter of an hour there was not a blue anner to be seen. But the blues revenged them selves fearfully, and in a dense and regularly formed body, they rushed through the crowd from end to end, and to and fro, beating with their fists or bludgeons, or naked flag-staffs all around them, the resisting and the unresisting, without the least distinction. The police interfered, and were fiercely opposed. They were compelled to rve their staffs, which they did with terrible effect. Whilst we must admit that they could not do otherwise in self defence, we cannot help regretting that when men are provoked to use weapons in their own defence, they do not check their violence as soon as the occasion for it has ceased: At length Sir Jame Hamilton came forward, and ordered the gang to quit the field, and was obeyed by a:great many who retired to the skirts of the meeting. The Returning Officer having taken the Bribery Oath, and the other formalities being complied with, Mr. Alderman LAINSON rose amidst loud cheering and confusion to propose Sir Benjamin Hall as a fit and proper person to represent, the Borough of Mary lebone in Parliament. That Honourable Gentleman hal served them for four years in Parliament, and his conduct having met with the most cordial approbation of his constitu ents, he felt honour and p:easurif ,in nominating him. He (Mr. Alderman Lainson) would implore the present assem bly then before him to allow a fair, impartial hearing to all parties. Mr. STuAnT seconded the nomination. It was those liberal principles which Sir B. Hall professed which now enabled them to enjoy the privileges they were met to exercise. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Their youthful and loved Queen had dissolved Parliament in order that the people should de termine whether another Parliament would be prepared to carry out the great measures of commercial reform which the present Government proposed. He was prepared to assert that upon the carrying out of "those liberal measures speedily and effectually alone depended the safety of the em pire. There was no danger of revolution so long as those re forms which the advanced intelligence of the country required was carried out, but there would be such a danger if the Tories came into power, and attempted to enforce their principals which they termed Conservative. The principles Sir Robert Hall maintained were those which he, Mr. Stewart,) was certain were the principals of the ma jority of thd electors of Marylebone, and he, there fore, felt confident of his success. (Loud cheers and con fusion.) Mr. WISH rose to propose Mr. Cabbell, but was received with such a storm of hissing and groaning, both from his politi cal opponents and from a party of hired ruffians, who were rushing through the crowd with blue rags tied upon the top of poles and bludgeons, and evidently mistook him for one of the Hall and Napier party. that he was totally inaudible. Mr. T. GREENWOOD seconded the nomination amidst the greatest confusion and noise.—From the few sentences which the tumult enabled us to catch we understood him to say he was sure to-morrow evening would see Mr. Cabbell at the head of the Captain RICKARD, as a parishioner of twenty-five years residence in Marylebone, and an old sailor of forty six years standing, felt the greatest pleasure in proposing Commodore Sir Charles Napier. They were met on that day to exercise the highest privilege an Englishman could enjoy, and they should recollect that were it not for the Whigs the borough of Marylebone would be unrepresented.—( Hear. ) If the Tories got into power, they would again govern in the same spirit as they did before, when the Habeas Corpus Act was more frequently suspended than otherwise. Let every elector, when he returned to his home, have the high honour of saying that he had voted for Commodore Napier, the greatest hero of his day. Professor KEY, in seconding the nomination of Commodore Napier, said it was no slight satisfaction to him to follow in the wake of the gallant officer who had just spoken. That gentleman was better able to appreciate the professional merits of the Gallant Admiral than he ( Professor Key) was, and, as a civilian, he should turn from the walls of Acre and Alexandria, which withstood the efforts of a Napoleon, and view the services of Commodore Napier, more as the friend of peace than as the successful warrior. With that courage, which .is so essential to greatness in every walk of life, the Gallant Officer succeeded in establishing the peace of Europe on a firm basis in twenty-four hours. He possibly might not have received that tech nical education which is essential to the legal man, but lie had studied the character of mankind, he had ever shown courage and decision of action, and these were the qualities necessary to form the practical statesman in contra-distinction to the mere frothy orator, and he (Professor Key) would back him for sound sense and political knowledge against Peel himself. 1 He would contrast the merits of the respective candidates ; al though it did appear somewhat ridiculous to contrast the suc cesstul hero of Lscre with an officer who no doubt bore a most unblemished private character, but who was scarcely known to the electors, and who, he believed, had never before stood upon a public stage in the borough of Marylebone or elsewhere, whilst the Gallant Commodore had stated his opinions before upwards of thirty meetings, if not as numerous, at least more respectable than those who occupied the space on his left. (Mr. Professor Key's allusion applied to a band of ruffians, armed with bludgeons, who stood around Sir J. Hamilton's carriage, and were ill-treating every respectably-dressed person who had the misfortune to be near them in the crowd.) He would say, without any personal of fence, that that gentleman had received more of the public money than the wounds he could show would justify.—( Loud laughter.) He would now pass to the second candidate that had been brought forward, and however respectable and to be admired in private life, yet he could not contrast with the Gallant Commodore or his colleague the man who would allow his acts of beneficence to be placarded on every wall in the parish. He would advise that gentleman to read the text in the Bible which says, " When thou givest, alms, send not a trumpeter before thee." He found him referring to his subscriptions to hospitals—but how was it that the poor man was, in the greater number cf instances, compelled to seek refuge in an hospital ? It was be cause the Tories had taxed—not the luxuries of life but the common necessaries of life, and this produced destitution and concomitant disea.-e. Mr. Cabbell or his partizans had again loudly blazoned forth his subscriptions to the Asylum for Lunatics, but what drove those unfortunates into that miserable and degraded state of life? He would again repeat it was want and destitution in the greater number of instances. Such philanthropy on the part of a Tory put him in mind of the story of a thief who stole a poor man's goose, and then, in a fit of penitence, presented him with the giblets.—( Cheers and laughter.) He would pass over Mr_ Sankey. He (Professor Key) respected the Chartist, if acting upon a conscientious conviction of the rec titude of his conduct ; but if he came forward to play the game of the Tories, no reprobation would he sufficiently strong to . mark such conduct, and he could safely assert that the more honest of the Chartist would not support him.—( Cheers. ) Mr. Was. PAINTER rose to propose Sir J. Hamilton, amidst great confusion and uproar. We understood him to say, that Sir James had been long a resident in the borough, and a liberal subscriber to all its cha ritable institutions ; and his father, a companion to the Duke of Wellington in his most brilliant campaigns, He hoped the constituency would refuse their votes to those who would destroy the constitution, and that they would place Mr. Cabbell and Sir James Hamilton at thehead of the poll. Mr. UNDERWOOD, who was quite inaudible in the storm of hisses and groans with which he was assailed, seconded the no mination. Mr. FEMUn then came forward to propose Williams Vil hers Sankey, Esq. He felt proud in standing before the electors to nominate a man who was a champion for the whole people, and not the tool of a class.—(Cheering, groans, and booting.) He asked the electors to support Mr. Sankey, who was pledged to support the rights of the people.—( Tu mult. ) Of the Tories he ( Mr. F.) had nothing to say, be cause they came forward manfully before the people, and boldly avowed their principles.—(Cheers, and great interruption. ) But the Whigs came there, as everywhere else, and on every other occasion, in false colours ; and if the electors of Maryle bone voted for the two Whigs, they would vote for two nomi nees of the Government.—(Cheers and confusion.) What could they think of the Whig Government, when the man who was at the head of it voted thanks to the Cheshire Yeo.. manry for the massacre at Peterloo, and Lord John Russell, when Mr. Slaney moved for inquiry into the state of the dis tressed classes, said that he would agree to the Committee if Mr. Slaney would undertake to exclude every allusion t o the Corn-laws and to the currency. It iv,.s boasted that the Whigs had acted leniently to political offenders, but the fact was, that whilst it was still doubtful that Frost, Williams, and Jones had been legally convicted, the Whigs made every preparation to hang them; and in all cases they had treated political pri soners with greater cruelty than ever they had been treated by the Tories. He called upon the electors to do their duty, and not to be deluded by the cry of " Cheap bread," but to vote for a man who would represent the people. Mr. GAMBLE seconded the nomination. Sir B. HALL then came forward, and was saluted with the most tumultuous cheering, applause, waving of hats and hand kerchiefs, and every possible demonstration of regard, in which the hootings and yells of the Tory hirelings were completely drowned. He said he appeared before the electors once again, for the purpose of soliciting their suffrages, as a candidate for the honour of representing them in Parliament. When he first came forward, he stated that he was an advocate of those principles which would promote progressive reform, and those princsples he had supported in Parliament. (Loud cheers. ) In referenee to the important question more immediately under the consideration of the electoral body, he could only say, that lie had always advocated the alteration of the Corn Laws, WESTMINSTER.

Shortly after this announcement was made, General Evans appeared on the platform, and was most enthusiastically cheered by the assembled thousands. It was, however, evident that a great number of the Tory agents were in the crowd, and were determined if possible to create a row. Shortly after General Evans appeared, a procession passed the hustings With flags, music, and banners, together with the Peel and Russell loaves on long poles. This appeared to be the signal for a row ; the mob pulled down and tore the flags, snatched the loaves from the pole, tore them to pieces, and began to throw the bread in every direction. In the midst of this disturbance, Colonel EVANS came forward and said, Gentlemen, it is totally impossible for any one to tell the result of the contest that has taken place this day. You cannot know it, no one can know it till to-morrow at two o'clock. My duty will be then, to address you more fully. I thank APii far the exertions you have made on behalf of the public cause. I thank you upon these hustings for the honour you have lone me on this occasion. I shall have to address you more fully to-mor row, and 1 will therefore only tell you that my own opinion is, that whatever may be result of this election, our cause is a good one, and its triumph is sure.—(Cheers.) A considerable time having elapsed, and no other speaker appearing, the immense meeting separated. LAMBETH. STATE OF - THE POLL. NINE O'CLOCK. Hawes D'Eyncourt Baldwin Cabbell TEN O'CLOCK.

He c onclues ! by expressing his confidence in the t esuit of the election. and requested the electors to come early to the poll. _ Mr. CA DEEM, next attempted to address the meeting, and spoke for about twenty minutes amidst the most deafening din, which rendered him completely inaudible. Sir C. NA t lER then came forward, and was received with tremendous cheering.—He said he could not ask their suf frages upon such solid ground as his Hon. Colleague had done —(Loud cheer s) —for he had never had an opportunity, like Sir B. Hail, of showing his fitness and fidelity in Parliament. But he would tell them this, that if they returned him as their representative, he would be able to give them as good an ac count of himself when he next met them.—( Cheers.) services hitherto had chiefly been naval and military. He had served his country 41 pare, and if he was honoured with an op portunity of serving the borough in Parliament, they would find him du his duty in the same independent manner in which he had discharged the duties which his country had hitherto entrusted to him.—(lmmense cheering.) The gentleman who span last seemed very much amazed at the arrangement which had taken place bAween him and Mr. Young, and which had united the Reformers in one invincible body. It was not extraor dinary that the Tories should be annoyed at it, as it was their sure and certain destruction.—( Hear.) Their oppomnts had strange opinions as to what was good for the poor. He and Sir B. Hall wished to find the poor cheap br. ad and emp!nr ment, that they might have nii occasion for the workhouse-- (Cheers)—but the other gentlemen thought it better to make bread dear, ernploynwnt scarc, and workhouses plenty and well filled. The Gallant Commodore having briefly recapitulated, his former declarations of political opinions, which he said oers by this time well known to every Reformer in the Borough. retired amidst the most tumultuous cheering, accompanied by waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies, who crowded the balconies around. Sir JAMES IlammToN then came forward and addressed the meeting, but his observations were entirely drowned hy the uproar. Mr. SANKEY spoke at considerable length, but lag e lually inaudible. The show of hands having been taken, the returning officeft Mr. Salomon declared it to be in favour of Sir BCI - 01111 11 1 11 ." and Sir C. Napier. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Cabbell, and appointed to open this 111041 I ng at eight o'clock, and close at four in the afternoon. Sir B. HALL proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer, which was loudly responded to, and the meeting then separated. TO WER HAMLETS. The nomiaation of the candidates to represent this borougo'" Parliament tookplace 3 esterday at twelve o'cicck, on stepner. TWe' re are five candidates in the field, three Liberal, ( Clay, Fo* and Thompson), and two Conservatives ( liutchin • son and Rortinson). Mr. Robinson arrived at the hustings shortly after elevem o'clock, an 4 was partially cheered. The other candidates , arrived soon afterwards. Mr. P. Thompson was most enthu siastically cheered upon presenting himself to the electors. • Silence having been proclaimed by Mr. Reynolds, the Nig' Bailiff, and the writ and precept, anil the Act against Bribery having been read, and the other usual formalities gone througus ' , Mr. ELLIS, the Returning Officer, requested the nu n e * rous assemblage to give to every person a patient hearing' As on the present occasion there were five candidates who asked for the suffrages of the electors of the 'fewer Hamlett, and as there would be fifteen speeches, he should content him self with assuring the electors that he had made every , conve nience for the taking of the poll to-morrow, and that he trus ty. that all the electors would come forward and vote in a straight' forward, manly, and English manner.—( Cheers. ) Mr. J. SIMPSON thee came forward to propose for the fourth time, William Clay, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of the Tow-sr Hamlets in Parlia ment.—( Great cheering.) He need not remind the ele ctor* that every act of Mr. Clay's since he had been in Parliam ents had been for the benefit of the people.—(Cheers.) He had always vcted for the abolition of the unjust and iniqui tous Corn-laws.—( Cheers, and cries of " The Poor-laws.) The Tower Hamlets was the largest borough in the Empire , 5 , he trusted it would do its duty by sending again to Parliam en* its old tried friend, Mr. Clay.—(Cheers.) Mr. COATES seconded the nomination of Mr. , Clay. T he electors of the Tower Hamlets had come forward that day t° • execute a great constitutional privilege, and in its execu tion he trusted they would show that moderation; candour, an d calm consideration which was due from Englishmen to English men when they came forward to execute great constitution al rights.—( Cheers. ) He had come forward to inflict upon their' one of those fifteen speeches which had been threatened by 4o f their returning officer, but he would endeavour to tol e , ,„fr that speech as short as he could.—( Loud chee rs. ,f ,CI The prvsentelections,:throughout England, would determine the• ol question of monopoly or free trade. (Cheers) They w ould • ,$0 determine whether the privileges of the few should triumph ov er ' ,„,11 the rights of the many. It was an endeavour, aided by.th e , ,'"' Queen herself, to call forth the trade and commerce of the :54 4 1,.. country, and to make England, as she ought to be, the pride ...0 . r.,14 and glory of the world.—( Cheers.) Her Majesty's Minster§ had proposed to increase the resources of the country. . by decreasing taxation. (Cries of No, No.) If th ere was any one present who was in favour of taxation he (Mr. Coutts) had no community with him.—(Cheers.) Her Majesty's Ministers had attempted to grapple with all thd great monopolists.—(Cheers.) There was a common 501 that when rogues combined, honest men got their own , an he thought that when honest men combined they would be match for rogues.—(Cheers.) Now among the monop olists they had rogues in timber—( A laugh)—rogues in sugar -- (Laughter)—and rogues in grain. The question to be decided that day was, whether the people should be benefited or the mu; nopolists. He had come tory, ard with great pleasure to secon d the nomination Lf Mr. Clay, and he did so, first, be c ause be was a consistent man--( Cheers )--and lastly, because he wa s a friend to free trade.—( Cheers.) Upon the ground of his, being a tried Reformer, a consistent Reformer, and a friend of .; free trade, he had equal pride and pleasure in seconding th e nomination of Mr. Clay.—(Cheers,) Mr. Se nEVILL came forward to propose Mr. Perronet Thorn?' son. He appeared before the electors of the Tower Hamlets for • the purpose of introducing to them a Radical candidate in the person of Mr. Thompson.—( Cheers. ) He much regretted that the tame conduct of the Whigs had driven the Radicals to come • forward as they had done. He thought that the electors of the , • Tower Hamlets were worthy of having such men to represent • them as they had in • F.nsbury. He therefore begged to offer, • to their notice Mr. Thompson—(Cheers)—the son of that old tried and unflinching Reformer, who, he believed, was n 6 . the Member for Hull.—(Great cheering.) They did oe b come there to support parties, but themselves; and for hits' self he might say, that had he studied his own interest he should • not have appeared before them as the proposer of a (tads-,'•• cal candidate ; but he felt that he had a duty to pari. form to his country, and therefore it was that 111 ham stood forward.—( Cheers. ) He wished to see every workirl man in the same condition as himself, and he was sure tha, they might be so, if they could only get good government, stla would be industrious and temperate.—(Cheers.) Asa Merg; ber of Mr. Thompson's Committee, he would tell them th at Mr. Thompson had coalesced with none of the other candidates► as he was determined to stand upon the Radical interest alone' —(Cheers.) It was but justice that he should say that Mr.,' • Clay had been greatly belied upon the Poor-law question- . He was sure that in proposing Mr. Thompson, he was bring' ing forward a man that would not deceive the electors, in whom they might put their trust.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thotur r , son was young, had virtue in him, and would fight the battle et the people if they would only support him.—(Great cheering*) - Mr. FRASER. seconded the nomination of Mr. Thompson the An attempt was now made to cram two placemen down, throats of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, an!" ty therefore became them to be up and stirring, auu bring forward some one to rescue the borough from sig a state of things.—( Cheers.) The candidate whom he had the honour to second was the son of that man who first acivocat the total and immediate abolition of the who 015 IN hat they wanted, and which he had no doubt they would set! have.—( Cheers. ) In conclusion he begged most cordially aut second the nomination of Mr. Thompson, the bringing whom forward he believed to be the cause of their having ' and one numerous and great a meeting that day. Mr. Buxros then came forward to propose Colonel Foe 35 a fit and proper person to represent the borough in the e ir ! .. " suing Parliament. He proposed to them a gentleman in t' s mately connected with that great name which for thirty Yea.r„ had supported, with surpassing talent, the popular ca use at Parliament—he proposed to them a relative of th e g r s Charles James Fox.—( Great cheering.) Colonel Fox v va in addition, a near relative of Lord Holland, who had en n i tributed so much to the passing 3. of the Reform Bil l. nu __ above all, Colonel Fox was the advocate of free trade. as well the friend of civil and religious liberty. He thought there ve,.! . .! times in which Reformers should forget minor 'diff er ence' r e ; the purpose of securing the triumph of the great pr ineiP ed upon which they were all agreed.—( Uproar.) He prop°! . ., Colonel Fox to the electors of the borough, with the beli ef tna he would on to-morrow be placed at the head of the poll. f Mr. MARTINEAu came forward to second the nomination °, Colonel Fox. He was induced to propose the Gallant Colon,' mainly because he was the zealous advocate of free trade (Cheers and uproar.) It was the principle of free trad e ` ci a above all others received his (Mr. Martineau's) cordial a?.., continued support. It was easy to talk of civil and religiousi;ie berty, but the question of free trade was one of a far more v alu3 and practical nature. Colonel Fox was the son of one of the in c i,is distinguished friends of popular rights and liberties t hat toe country had ever beheld, and of one whose protests in the House of Lords would remain an eternal monument of ~e . wisdom of his head, but still more of the goodness of his he3fe'lt —(Much cheering, mingled with partial uproar.) n e rthy quite sure that the conduct of Colonel Fox would he w ° of the principles of his ancestors, and w6uld realize his ot in professions. He ~-o.lled upon them, therefore, to siirl w ; t he the person of C 010491 Fox the principles of free trade an" his.) commercial mtasur of Lord J. Russell.—( Cheers and hisses M W a, r. iLnlsomt.

Mr. Hutchinson W" 3 a nd former, and had always voted for Reformers ; do , though the Tories stated he was a Tory that would inn ..l Mr. Hutchinson was besides ready to move for a total rep roar, that infernal law, called the New Poor-law Act.—( G P: t hat and a cry of " It will not do.") He would vote agans:,..ora law, which their representatives bad hitherto disgraced li;io,j selves by supporting.—( Renewed uproar.) lie was s ' l l t he to find any advocate of that law soliciting the v otes 0 r e on• electors of the Tower Hamlets.—(Cheers and e°ll ' i „ e ll'. The support of the Poor-law was the ruin of Lord J. Ru-_- 0, 0 party ; and the people should now see whether they so cl riot now obtain the ruin of the union bastiles.—(Ch eer o .wh o uproar.) Fix his part, he would never support any Wia was the advocate of such a measure.—( and cheers.) He hoped tbey would show Lord J. ti t Fo% and their former representatives, as well as O a ot (pointing to the painting in the crowd), that they were different to the claims of the poor.—(Cheers , gr °3l l s ' a tion hisses.) He had great pleasure in seconding the no sou nd of Mr. Hutchinson, knowing him to be a practical and Reformer in every sense of the word. didafe of, Mr. Cite RILING TON came forward to propose a can wed to a very different character from that of any other submo, them. He came forward to propose G. R.
