CITY OE LONDON LIBERAL ELECTORS' COMMIT PEE. GENTLEI , IEN, E take the liberty of laying before you the ADDRESS of Baron LION EL ROTIISC,HILD, and of announcing the determinaticn of the Committee of Mira! Electors again to support his claims to the ,u ,'rages of_the Consti:uency of London. The decision of the Honse of Lords, which has converted the Controversy into a struggle for the ascendancy of vital principles, has left us no alternative but to vindicate acts from which we can not shriek without betraying our public enty, and to assert rights which cannot be compromised without danger to the prerogatives of the general body of the people. It is not your choice that you are now called upon to justify, tut your right to cholse which you are required to defend. It is less the re-election of Baron Rothschild we seek, than, by his return, to declare to the country our firm determination to maintain the in tegrity of our religious liberties. His personal claims to your respect and confidence have been already amply acknowledged by your deliberate decision ; but as it was the cause with which his name t s Rentitled which recommended Win to your suffrages, you cannot, with honour, retire front its assertion until you have wit - nested its final triumph, however protracted may be the struggle, or reiterated the appeals to legislative justice, and to the zeal and firm intrepidity of the electors. The chief city of the empire is called upon to set an example to the general body of the constituenc y of persevering ad- Vocacy of their common rights, and of stedfast adherence to the vin dication of a privilege with which the great principles of the Consti ution are indissolubly identified. hile we are sincerely attached to those views of Legislation and Government which have hitherto formed the bond of union among the Liberal electors, we refuse to renew the struggle upon party grounds. We only know that our representative has not been Suffered to represent us—and that, In his rejection has been involved the persecution of a loyal and industrious denomination of our fellow citizens, for that intrepid and conscientious adherence to their sin cere religious convictions, -which forms the est euaranm ae te for entru the st ir fidelity in the dischar4e of Rey duty with which we y them. In remembering that Uaron Rethsehild is a Jew by extrac tion, and in his filth, we arc not permitted to forget that he is an Englishman by birth, in feeling, ill character, and in interest—and that we cannot compromise his claims without also betraying our Own rights. On this issue alone we enter upon a renewal of the contest. Free dom of electoral choice, liberty of religious opinion, are our only watchwords. Increasing majorities in the Commons —decreasing opposition in the Lords, render the ultimate late of the question of Jewish Disabilities no longer doubtful, if we remain true to the acts to which, as honourable men, we are committed, and to prin the eventual triumph of which but awaits the persevering exertion of your intelligent energy and unflinching res The Committee will meet here daisy until the close of the election. It is your own acts we seek to justify, and your own declared opinions to which we desire to give effect ; and we therefore rely With confidence, not only on your support, but on the personal co operation of every elector to vindicate the independence of tho city Of London. We rennin, Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servants, (By order of the Committee) JOHN ABEL SMITH, Chairman, • DN EY4i NILTI-1, Oapra._ary - Committee 'Room, Guildhall Coff heeouse, King-street, CheaPside, London, June 28, 1849. • TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN. Thave accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. The decision of the House of Lords has left me no !alternative. The contest is now between the Ilouse of Lords and yourselves. They attempt to retain the last remnant of religious intolerance ; &•ou desire to remove it. You alone can decide whether you will Continue this honourable struggle, or give up your own declared Wishes and the cause of freedom together. I had hoped that the gradual and steady progress of opinion in favour of civil and religious liberty would, on this occasion, have in fluenced th, it Lordships ; that the example of e th fore eminent instates men of all parties would have been a guid themt deliberations; and that as the leaden; of these parties had within the last few years concurred in endeavouring to remove from us every badge of degradation, the House of Peers would have been induced to listen to the suggestions of a more liberal policy, and to defer, in this last instance, to the wislres - of the great constituency of London, as well as to the opinion of the assembled representatives of Eng land, who have, by constantly increasing majorities, significantly declared their deliberate conviction upon this great question. My hope has been disappointed, and I am now compelled most reluct antly to retmn you the honourable trust you confided to my care Considering your cause and mine as one, and judging of your hesitate lent feelings feelings by your past kindness and generosity, I do not again to solicit your suffrages in the corning ele2tion : because in my person a principle is to be vindicated, and because I beliee that you are prepared to mainta in the great cons titutional struggle that is be fore you with the same vigour and earnestness Unit you have here • tofore evinced. Truth will win its way unoler your auspices. Your !Strong convictions will exercise their proper influence upon the de termie ations of the Legislature, and justice will be done according to the forms, turd in the true spirit, of the Engl is serv h an t COnstitution.

A special meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the office, Guildhall•buildings, to consider the draft of a Bill for authorising the amalgamation of the Nor folk with the Eastern Counties Company; Mr. Adam Duff in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that tha meeting was called in compliance with Lord Wharncliffe's standing . order, which required that their sanction should given to the Bill prior to being read the second time in the House of Lords. It was unnecessary for him to go over matters which had been alredy discussed, and therefore he would at once move that this meeting do approve of the Bill, subject to such alterations as may be introduced by Parliament. Mr. S. M. PETo, M.P., seconded the resolution, and in doing so went into several details connected with the history and objects of the propose I amalgamation. By the agreement with the Eastern Counties Company the capital of the Norfolk was limited to 2,300,0001. On the 2d of May, 1848, th common seal of the Eastern Counties Company was affixed to the deeds, and, M. 01- the ath— G E., • ,Gap/We* entered into posVe - ssfon of - ihet:NoFfolk - "tag: , works and stock belonging to the Norfolk Company. The agreement had beer twice ratified by the Eastern Countiet Company, and it was the opinion of counsel that the latter were legally bound to carry out the agreement with the Norfolk Company. He than proceded to show that the Norfolk Company bad faithfully performed their part of the agreement by keeping within the specified capital of 2,300,0001. Everything had been most carefully estimated with regard to the Norfolk Company; 20,000/. would be realised by the sale of lands, and 30,000/. by the sale of stores, making 50,0001. The total cost of the line and works, including the Lowestoft Harbour, was ascer tained to be 2,233,7481, being nearly 70,000 E under the limited amount, and leaving besides a margin of 50,000/. He then adverted to the recommendation of the Eastern Counties Committee of Inquiry to the shareholders of that company, to complete the amalgamation with the Norfolk, and alluded to a letter the board had received a few days ago from the directors of the Eastern Counties Company respecting the traffic on the Norfolk line, stating that the earnings for the year only amounted to 119,8651., or an average of 2,177!. per week, which, after deducting working expenses and interest on the entire capital, including the unproductive portion of it expended on the Dereham and Fekenharn line not yet open, left a balance of 3,000/. This account differed considerably from another account of the Nor folk traffic given by the Eastern Counties' directors, in which it was stated that the net earnings were 5s Bd. per share taken one way, and 6s. 21 per share taken another way: He had taken considerable pains to as certain the working expenses of their line, and for that purpose consulted some of the most eminent loco motive engineers and responsble contractors, who were ready to undertake the working of the Norfolk line, including in their estimate amp].) provision for the depreciation of stock and permanent way, at such a rate as would give to the Norfolk proprietors on the amount stated by the Eastern Counties Company as the re ceipts for the year a dividend of Bs. 61. per share, or two and a half per cent.-4s. 3d. for each half-year. He objected to the mode adopted by the Eastern Coun ties Company in fixing the working expenses of the Norfolk line, upon which there were fewer trains than on the Eastern Counties line, and they were charged with the average mileage of the whole. He believed it was the interest of the Eastern Counties Company to carry out the amalgamation, and the best thing for the Norfolk Company that they should repudiate the bargain.— (Hear, hear.) If any party had a right to complain, he thought it was the proprietors of the Norfolk Company. There had been no breach of faith on their part; they had made a bargain, and they were willing to carry it out fairly and honestly. He than endeavoured to show that a certain amount of traffic was brought on the Eastern Counties from the Norfolk line, which would not cooae on the former if the Norfolk line was worked independently by the Norfolk Company or by any other cosirpany. He was of opinion that if the affairs of the :teem Counties Company were conducted on com rola. principles, with their inconbe of SCO,OOO/. a yea there would be a probability of their having fair divide Cis ; and it would be the in fty 44.144 of 019.13.r.opriet2rs; - . three' or foil; g9tiernc_n of business habits ade , • :iibideoting arelytinie nail attention to the affairs of 'I, o company. Ample accounts should also be furnished t r the proprietors, so that they might clearly see the poaition of their affairs. With regard to closing the capito e ? ccount, he did not think they could do that, becausle.4ficreased accommodation would be required from time to tine; but he thought the directors should not undertake the construction of any additional works unless sanctioned in every case by the shareholders. Major COURT said, that he had opposed the amalga mation because he did not understand it, and the result proved that the Norfolk Company bad made a n im prudent bargain. He doubt e d w h e ther the shareholders were bound, in point of hon our, to c arry out the agree ment, because they were not fully . informed at the time it was entered into of ever y circumstance con meted with the subject. Th e a greement rested on a fallacy, and he did not t hi n k it should be urged in point of honour, or in" point of expediency . He complained of the want of clearness in the accounts of the Norfolk Company, and concluded by moving as an amendment, " That a committee be appointed to investi gate the accounts of the comp an y, and that the meet ing be adjourned to the 15th of July." • Mr. LAWRENCE trusted that they would not lose sight of the question before them. Both companies were bound iu honour and law to carry out the agree ment. Mr. OLD thought they had better wait a nd see what the Eastern Counties Comp any i n tended to do. Mr. PETO said, that th e Bill w as prosecuted under the sanction of the Easter n C oun ties Company, and he thought the proprietors ou g ht to approve of the Bill. The plant of the company had recently be en valued at 187,000/. He was only a r ecen t member of the board , and he and his family held 100,0001. of stock in the com pany. He could state that t h e di r ectors had not acted iu this matter alone; they had consulted the principal proprietors in the company, and received their sanction to the measure. Mr. BAXENDALE thought that a great deal of injury that there was a had been inflicted ou rail wa y property by members of boards acting on thesupposition great distinction betwee n their public and privat e acts, and he thought that if gentlemen had in every case looked to their public acts as private indivi duals, they would not have committed so many serious mistakes. He hoped they would be enabled to amal gamate the whole of the interests of the district. lie entirely concurred with Mr. Peto as to working the line by contract. It was the only system by which they could work with economy. Ile had had forty years' experience in conducting a very large establishment, and he was convinced that the only mode of working a railway with economy was to contract for the working. Next to that was a clear and satisfactory statement of the traffic, showing the gain or loss on every branch of it periodi tally. He aas not surprised at tee dividends falling ofl from 10 to 7 per cent. and from 6 to 4 per cent.; for he was convinced that no individual dare carry on his busi ness in the came way railway companit s did. They coin plained of the traffic falling off, but he contended that the traffic was very good. lie condemned the reckless way in which the traffic was conducted on the Eastern Counties line. There was every hope for the line if a small body of din c.ors could be induced to devote the whole of the it time and attention to the management of the un dertaking. After some further observations a resolution was passed approving of the Bitl. The meeting then sepa rated. ` ~~~,.~,~ d ~ 7 .~ ~ U H 4w ~ r rri ~ O CHELMSFORD POLICE.—On Wednesday, the Rev. Jonathan Henry Price, a dissenting minister of the In dependent denomination, at Woodham Ferris, and Pris cilla ' Rude, a good-looking woman, about 30 years of age, daughter of a widow occupying a farm at High Roothing, were brought up for examination at the Chelmsford bench, beore .

The great contest for the Grand Challenge Cup, pre sented by the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and open to ull Royal Yacht clubs in the kingdom, took place yes terday, and was one of the most exciting races on re cord, affording a succession of incidents of the most in teresting description. The Jupiter steamer had been, as usual, chartered by the club for the conveyance of the members and their friends, and left her moorings at London-bridge at ten o'clock, with a highly-respectable party on board, which was increased in numbers on their calling in at Blackwall. The Waterman 10, Dryad, and another steamer, with a private party on board, and a number of gentlemen's yachts, including the Pearl, with her gallant owner the Marquis of Angle sea on board, accompanied the race. On the arrival of the Jupiter at Erith the following were found ready for the starting sign:— Station. Name of Yacht. Tons. Port. 1. 2. Foam 20 Loudon. 3. Bianca 3g Portsmouth. 4. Cynthia 5O London. 5. Musquito 5O London. 6. Daring 3l Plymouth. 7. Secret 8. Gipsy 12 Plymouth. The distance to be sailed was from Erith to the Noro Light and back, weather permitting, and half a minute per ton allowed at arriving by the larger to the smaller craft. The mishaps of the day, however, had already com menced, and with one of the greatest and most deserving favourites—the Musquito. This beautiful yacht, an chored at Blackwall at nine A.M., was about to get under weigh to run down to Erith, when a Trinity House lighter, coming up the river, ran foul of the Musquito, and snapped her bowsprit in the centre. This accident, however, served only to bring out the natural charac» teristics of our countrymen, especially those engaged in nautical business, for Mr. Green, having, with his aeons tensed liberality, not only furnished the owners with a new spar, but also the assistance of his mast-makers, in fifty minutes the spar was manufactured into a new bow sprit, and being taken into tow by the Vesper, the Gravesend steamer, she arrived at Erith at the same time as the Commodore's steamer reached that place. The start was well effected at 11 h. 43 min. 45 secs., when the Cygnet made sail beautifully, closely followed by the Cynthia, Foam, Bianca, and Musquito; but here again something was evidently wrong with the Musquito, for she was all behind, and seemed hampered in her movements, and it was only subsequently we observed the cause. It appears the Commodore, on his arrival at Erith, immediately fired the preparatory gun, on which four of the Musquito 's crew, who were at Erith, came on board, when the owner of the Cynthia threatened a protest unless they went out of the vessal. As the rules for sailing had only been put on board on her arrival at Erith, and there was no time before the signal gun for starting was fired to appeal to the Commodore, the four m en were sent on shore; consequently, the Mus quito had to sail with eight hands in lieu of twelve; she u ld nt, therefore, witb this small number, get her sails properly set without great loss of time. She nevertheless deternained to proceed. There was a fine topsail breeze from the S.E., an the little fleet went away in the most excellent trim, each captain exhibiting considerable nautical skill. After making a board in Erith Reach, they sailed the reach down with a few yards' span only between each, forming the most beautiful picture that could well be iumbled. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an in quest was held at the Red Linn public-house, Lower Fore•street, Lambeth, before Mr. W. Carter, the co roner, on the body of William Butler, aged 63, who had died of cholera, but whose family imputed some blame to Cope, one of the relieving officers, in not attending properly to his wants. The verdict, after a deliberation of about half an hour, returned a verdict that the de ceased had died from cholera, and therefore from natural causes. They added, that they could not impute any blame to the parish officers, for, from the evidence before them, it appeared that the deceased had been afforded relief every time he applied for it. Dispatches were sent off, yesterday evening, from the Colonial-office, for the Governor's of the rort h American colonies.

At Greenhithe the Cygnet led by a quarter of a mile, the Cynthia second, the Foam thtrd, the Mosquito fourth, then the Daring and Secret, the Bianca and Gipsy literally tailed off. .In St. Clement's the Musquito ran into third 'place to leeward of the Foam, which shortly after carried away her jib haulyards, and off Gravesend carried away her gaff topsail, and set a small headed one she had had before, as well as availing her self of the balloon jib haulyards to repair the first acci dent. As the wind ecntinued to freshen towards flood the Musquito gradually gained upon her opponents, and at the Bligh beacon the Cygnet led by about three lengths, Cynthia second, and the Mosquito about a fur long only astern of her. Sc me beautiful sailing here followed between the two first, The Cynthia went up to the Cyg net and tried to pass her to leeward, but was un able to do so, and after keeping her company for a short distance dropped a trifle astern, which was two or three times repeated, until just below the Chapinan'a Head buoy, when:the Cynthia fairly slipped into the second place, followed in a few minu'es afterwards by the bias quito, who began to give strong symptoms of overhaul ing the leadi ng boat. Lord Alfred Paeet (the commo dore), on the arrived of the Jupiter off Southend Pier, brought her to, havine, previously fired a gun from either bow to apprise the yaehtmen that the distance had been shortened, and that they were to round the steamer, which they did in the following order : Hours. Mina. Secs. Mosquito . 2 Cynthia Cygnet Daring Secret 2 Foam The Mmquito put down her helm and came over to round, but seemed to be doubtful by the sweep she made whether the steamer was at anchor, or whether they had been guilty of inattention to their interests. How ever, in this respect it is difficult to say, but she went so wide of the mark that the Cynthia slipped in between the Mu•qiiito and the steamer, which was dead at anchor, and they rounded abreast in the same instant, but imme diately afterwards the topmast of the Mosquito was car ried away by the bowsprit of the Cynthia striking, as it by r atugariclalletkelit, the Mos quito' topmaiertijrauttltierrukt althoir4ol4MAPP touted is certain, and the Cynthia hitd sustained some trifling injury also. Which party ought to have givi-n way caused not a little contention amongst those assem bled, and which ought to have ported her helm caused much diversity of opinion; some, held that the Cynthia had clearly a right to go where she did, and that the other should have given way, as from the nature of the Cynthia's position the collision was unavoidable, unlebs the Mosquito ported her helm to give her room; while others maintained that the Mosquito had jibbed first, and that the Cynthia ought to have gone outside of her. The Mosquito rigged a jury mast and hoisted the protest signal immediately after the collision. The Cynthia maintained her lead, and they . arrived .in the following order and time, the Cygnet being, with her allowance of seven minutes and a half, the winner:— Hours. Mins. Secs. , Cynthia Mu quito Cygnet Daring ... Secret 5 ' 37 ..... 10 Foam ....... 5 Lord Allred Paget presented the cup to the represen tative of the owner of the Cygnet, and the 'usual honours Were gone through, including the". Health of her Majesty," Jcc. The owner of the Foain also re ceived her prize for the last match, which had been left in abeyance, the sailing committee having decided in her favour. The band of the 2d Life Guards were in attendance, and played the most popular sirs, and the company were landed at an early hour, much gratified with the day's sport. PUBLICATIONS.

OF SUSSEX: This match, which was commenced on Thursday at tbe.Oval, was brought to a conclusion last evening, and so near did it occupy the full time that when the last wicket was taken by Surrey the clock stood 'at four minutps to eight. `kaa day the ground was very fully attended. The match throughout reflected the greatest credit upon all who were engaged.in the play. We have seldom wit nessed so much good play with so little of that which wlis bad, indeed *e cannot 'at this moment call to our recollection any mistake, or an instance of what can be denominated bad play, .from the opening to the close of the contest. The bowling on ,both sides was of the highest character, whilst the tatting. was nearly its cqual. It will, however, be noticed that there were but few long scores. Chester stands at the head of the list for runs, having made 12 and 44, and the next is Buahby, who scored 7 and 42. Both batted beautifully, and it afforded all around the ring. great satisfaction on finding that the latter appeared not only to have regained his health, but also his play. Want of space prevents our entering into any further detail, except to remark that the fielding on both sides was suoh is has rarely been seen. - The match stood as follows at its close, and was in favour of Surrey, who won by 15 runs:— SUILEEY.

RAILWAY VERSUS STEAM-BOATS.—It is Stated in Lincoln that between Gainsborough and Boston the Great Northern Company intend to run half-penny-a-mile trains, for the purpose of destroying the competition ex perienced from Daykin and the Witham Steam packet Company. Having pared down their expenditure, the competitors have for some time carried passengers at fares which are a temptation to all whose money is of more value to them than their time. The company have found rather more formidable antagonists in the proprie- tors of the old modes of conveyanco than they could have anticipated, for both proprietors are well patronised, whilst the trains are very leanly stocked with passengers. —Stamford Mercury. _ _ _ GOLD ?nom ICussia.—The ship Secret, arrived from St. Petershurgh, has brought 36 bars of gold as a portion of her cargo, consigned to an emiuent com mercial house. ... 3 ... 8 ... 3 ... 2 ... 2 ... 5 ... 83 ... 0 ... 3 ... o •• • 3 ... 8 ... 24 - - 1 ••• ••• 6 :.. 14 18 ... 4 ... o ... 0 ... 83 COST CIRCULAR. ) The Queen held a Privy Council and Court, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.
