But I do nst think I ought to enter into any further details, or answer any of the remarks about our committee having taken a due advantage of the organization of our forces in bringing up the electors. We have here two most honourable gentlemen who fixed the day of election—your Sheriffs.—(Hear, hear.) Well, it has been left to their decision, and I have on this occasion to thank them, not only for their kindness and for their impartiality, but for their great trouble, and more trouble than any other sheriffs have taken on similar occasions, in seeing that everything was fairly and properly conducted. These gentlemen fixed the day, and they are here to see that everything is done constitutionally, and according to the law. Gentlemen, it has been said that we had our forces better organized than those of the other party. Now that is not the case. Our friends have made more show. The other party knew they had a losing game, and did not come forward with much zeal, for they knew that right and justice was on our side.—(Loud cheers.) Thu rs d a y n i g ht was t h e p er i o d when we began to prepare ourselves for the contest. There was a meeti n g of our committeemen, and it was th en d ec id e d w h a t course we should adopt, and we all pledged ourselves to do anything in our r power to gain the cause .—(Ch eers .) My Nobleord Friend John Manners generously informed me that he intended to come forw ar d. Thi s was a very generous intimation on his part, s i nce be h a d no right to cemmunic rte in tention to us. This was on Saturday.had dhis only He from Saturday till Monday to prepare and our opponents had as much afraid, gentlemen, that I havedetained No,ho, ,, and a cry time for the contest, e a aw you we had. longerh ad; I t than am n I ought.—(Loud cries of " m .. We like the look of you.") have, I it is true, entered into these details to set myself right. I trust it will be a long time before we shall have another cont es t. I could not, on such an occasion as this, have a thought in my heart which I did not communicate to you. I beg to thank you for listening to me with so much patience.— (A voice, "Don't go yet.") I beg, in conclusion, to thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me. Lord J. MANNERS then came forward, and was re ceived with general cheers and waving of hats. He spoke nearly as follows:—Gentlemen, citizens, and elec tors of the City of London, I come forward to thank those who have unsolicit e d an d uncanvassed registered their votes in my favour. Not, indeed, for me alone, but in behalf of those principles of which I fear I have been but an inefficient defender. I stand here, gentle men, to express my own satisfaction, and the satisfac tion of the gentlemen at whose request I consented to come forward, at the number of votes which have been registered in support of those principles—and I stand here to return my heartfelt and cordial acknowledge ments to those electors who have registered their votes in my favour; but still more do I come forward now to assure the electors of the city of London that on future occasions there would be no shrinking, but a firm determination again to maintain those principles, and to defend this cause which has now suffered a temporary defeat.—(Groans and hisses.) I have said that I would apologise—and perhaps you will allow me to do so—for having been the individual that was raised to defend them. It was charged against me by the Lion. Gentleman who proposed my Hon. Friend and opponent, that eight years ago—being then a very young man—l pub lished some rather absurd poetry.—(Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I should have thought that the votee, the speeches, and the conduct of a man, who for six, not eventful, years, had taken a fair share in pub lie debate in the House of Commons, would have been a fair criterion by which to test my qualifications to re present this great and important city; but it seemed to some Hon. Gentlemen that it was a safer test to select the words of some poems, written when almost a boy, for the purpose of showing that he was disquelified, and for the purpose of vilifying him.—(A. Voice--" Then you must go home to your mother —we don't want a poet.") I have not the least wish to dissent from that qualification, since no one can more cordially coin cide in it than I do. If it was indifferent in sen• timent, the meaning which it conveyed was still worse. And now in taking leave o' the subject I would heartily assure him that it the sentiment was bad, and the poetry still worse, I would rather be the boy that penned it than the grey-headed man who the day before yesterday came forwardf and blamed t h e writer. Gentlemen, I now take you—( A vo ice, " Get thee to a nunnery— go ," and e la e ughter)—l believe without having given the least cause of offence to any of the gentlemen with whom I have come in contact. Sure am I that I have received none from my honourable opponent and friend ; and I take thispublic op of thanki ng hi m for the uniform ce p urtesy and portunit kindness y which I have experienced at his hands. The sentiments of goodwill which he has expressed I most cordially and heartily reciprocate, and I hope that nothing that has fallen from me will diminish in the least degree the respect which he has been kind enough to express for me. The Romans had but one word for poet and for prophet. Now, gentlemen, you have decided that in the former capacity I am not likely to achieve much re putation, but allow me, in taking leave to say, that in the latter capacity I may have more success.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") Friends and supporters, for the gene l'ees, cordial, and magnanimous manner in which Yen have tendered your support I heartily thank you, and my Honourable Friend and opponent, for the good humour, moderation and courtesy With which they nave exercised their opposition; and ie now retiring from this ball, and relinquishing this con test, sure I am that the principles that are dawn to-day will be up tomorrow—(Groans and hisses)—that at the next general election, come wheu it may, those great principles—this great cause —the Church, the Queen, and the people, will be vindicated —(Uproar)—they will be vindic ate d , not perhaps in my person, but in the persons of the great and intelligent constituencies or this empire. ( rhe Noble Lord then retired amidst partial cheering.) Baron ROTRSCIIILD then came forward and proposed a vote of thank s to the Sher iff they h a d performed their seerviffiesesf.or the way in which Lord JOHN MANNERS seconded the motion amidst the utmost noise. Mr. Deteeoet then came forward and put the motion to the meeting, It was carried by great acclamation, an d was follow e d b y three cheers for the Sheriffs. Mr. Sheriff FINNIS advancsd to return thanks, and was recei ve d w i th loud cheers. He told the meeting that it was highly gratifyi ng t o t h e Sh er iff s to find that the arrangements which they had made for conducting the election had given satisfaction to both parties.—(Cheers.) They had only done what they considered to be their duty, viz., acted, in an impartial mintier throughout the whole proceed ings.—(Cheers.) He had no hesitation in saying that immediately on receiving the writ they felt that it was their bounden duty to fix a day for the election.—(Cheers.) He was perfectly aware that the business of this great city must be much im• peded by the excitement of an election, and, therefore, it was thought to be to the interest of all parties that while no undue haste was shown in fixing the election, it should take place with all convenient speed.— (Cheers.) He had much pleasure in returning thanks for their unanimous vote to himself and his brother Sheriff.—(Cheers.) Mr. HALL said he was glad that they had shown to the Noble Lord and his supporters that they could be generous as well as true.—(Cheers.) He trusted they would prepare themselves for the next fight.—(Cheers.) They were told by the Noble Lord who briefly ad dressed them, that on another occasion he would again solicit their suffrages, and that he was confident of being returned.—(Cries of " Never.") He (Mr. Hall) would accept that challenge on the part of the citizens, and would pledge himself that some one would meet him on the hustings to take up the cause of the people against the House of Lords.—(Loud cheers.) Let their Lordships know that while we concede to them their rights and privileges, we will at the same time maintain our own.—(Continued cheers.) Let then understand most distinctly that the rights of the People a re t h e security of their property, the safety of the Church, and the safety of th e y ounger b ranc h es of their families.—(Che e rs.) He thought they had acted very s ill y i n sending this ill-advised young man among them there.—(Laughter and cries of " A boy.") Ile entirely admitted his right to come forward, but he had no doubt that he had been most shamefully advised by those who professed to have the confidence of the citizens of London.—(Laughter and cheers.) A gross insult had been offered to them in the House of Lords j li t t he Bishop of Oxford, who said that they had been 0, 0 , 1 1 4 ° "wish gold.—(Laughter and hisses.) Now, he fro" not be at all surprised if that Bishop brought ward the ballot in the House of Lords, to screen them m the money of the Jews.—(Laughter, and a cry o f House The Bishops have no business in the u se ef Lords we'll have them cut.") Let them mind their business, and we will mind ours; but do not let them insultta h k ' us, for if they do they must eeycawreeroef the consequences. —(Laughter and cheers.) neighbours onoth disturbance, norttoe going to follow the example of their would have their hCro.iungtinent; they wanted . to create no about any revolution, but they hir.

They wished a ell u all the privileges rather to preserve of the souse of Lords, but at the same time they asked the House of Lords to respect the privileges of the people. It was the un doubted right of the people to elect whom they chose to be their representative; and although, in spite of bigotry and intolerance, they had Elected a man chose faith differed from their own, he hoped they would not rest satisfied until they saw him seated in the House of Com mons.—(Cheers.) He told them yesterday that they should use their victory with moderation, as he did not think that they could carry any great cause by abusing other people. They might respect their prejudices and pity the errors of their judgments, but still they would endeavour to carry conviction to their under standings. The Noble Lord who bad just parted from them, in a manner characterised by his usual good feelings and gentlemanly politeness, had, he trusted, learned a lesson from this contest, namely, that the people of England were not what he designated them in the House of Commons, " an abstract something or nothing"—(A laugh)—but the only source of legitimate pow er.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord, he trusted, would find that theirs was a power wielded and exercised for the good of all classes of his fellow-tubjecte, and that when, therefore, the voice of the people was heard, it wes paramount and ought to he obeyed.—(Cheers.) There ss ere two principles involved in this contest, one to choose their own repre sentatives, which the House of Lords had set aside, and den'ed to them, but they had ratified their former choice—they bad vindicated their former decision. The next principle was the great principle of civil and reli gious liberty, and he felt assured that in this the nine teenth century, though they could not say that they had got rid of all, they would soon have abolished the re maining records of bigotry and intollerance, and that they would be as free to act and think for themselves without reference to religion. The prin ciple involved here was simply, this, not whether they should choose a man of wealth, a man of commercial standing, and a citizen baron, but whether they should choose that man with all those attributes because he happened to differ with them in religious views (Cheers, and a Voice, " He's a man for all that.") Yes he was, and they had chosen him, and they would choose him again and again, till they taught the bigots and in tolerants in this country that their principles were abhorrent alike to Christianity, to freedom, and good sense —(Cheers.) He was glad they had vindicated their rights by a large majority, but large as it was he was satisfied it would have been more than doubled had not many of their friends felt at ease when they saw the Baron upwards of 3,000 ahead, and refrained from voting.—(Hear, hear.) If, however, the necessity had been demonstrated to them, he was convinced the majority would have been double what it was, since the e bole City of London and the household electors almost to a man would have vindicated the great and glorious principle upon which this contest had been conducted. It must be gratifying to the electors of London to know that the present contest had been conducted without asperity on either side—(Cheers)—and that the Noble Lord, for whom no one felt greater respect than he did for his private virtues, and no one hated more than he did his political opinions, had come down, as he said, to advocate the rights of the people, but, in reality, as their most bitter opponent, had contented himself with declaring his principles on a printed address, and a speech that no one could hear.— (Cheers.) He trusted that the whole Livery of London would consider that they had performed their duty, but h t them not rest satisfied with that.—(Cheers.) He would not say to them agitate, agitate, agitate—(Great cheering)--but he would say to them, petition, petition, petition—(Great cheering)—till the Bill became a law, bt cause if they did so there could be no doubt that they would ultimately succeed.—(Cheers.) He had now said enough on the subject of the election, but he could not allow the freeholders of London to leave that hall, the assemblages in which had ever been noted for their affection to the Sovereign, without testifying their loyalty to the Queen.—(Great cheering, and cries of " God bless her, she's one of the right sort.") He asked them to give three hearty cheers for the great Queen of England.—(Cheers, and cries of Who will not do it?" " God bless the Queen, and down with the Bishops.") The Hon. Gentleman concluded amid much cheering. The hall was then dissolved. 81 0 ' ' 11 STT IC rtiro ambition NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

Hughes in the chair. The report of the committee of management, for the past six months, was of a peculiarly gratifying character. It stated, that of the proposed ad dition to the asylum, under the designation of the "Ladies Wing," the foundation-stone of which was laid some time since by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, 16 out of the 26 houses contemplated were now in course of erection, at a cost of 2,6101., the contributions received up to the present time being 2,7061. There were 62 candidates on the list for admission. It was hoped that sufficient funds would be placed at the disposal of the board to commence the remaining ten habitations before the next meeting. Among the subscriptions received towards the " wing," the board gratefully acknowledged the sum of 22 guineas from Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington. The total receipts for the half-year on ac count of the asylum amounted to 655/., and towards the Endowment Fund there has been contributed 4151. The annual ball and anniversary dinner produced upwards of 200/. It is intended to hold a fancy fair at the Vaux hall Gardens during the forthcoming week. On the mo tion of Mr. Niel, seconded by Mr. Titchner, the report was adopted. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the board of management. ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY Or SCOTLAND.—On Monday a preliminary meeting of the London branch of this institution for improving the condition of the labour ing classes in Scotland, particularly in the destitute High land districts, was held in the Freemasons' Tavern, and was attended by Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D. (in the chair), Charles Forbes, Esq.

The contrast between those di s t r i c t s i n w hi c h t h e perma nent industrialimprovements recommended by the institution had been carried out and the vast majority in which, from want of the requisite means, nothing had been at tempted was very marked, and elicited an unanimous d by est e r v e c o ry n p th o e ss p i a b r le t of m e th ab e ert b nt e lemefiefneipereeesy and present to success promo ofte, this truly useful and patriotic society for enabling the destitute peasantry to attain a position of safety and of self-support through. their own i nstrumenta li ty.

SIR THOMAS TURTON'S RECENT DEFALCATION S IN BENGAL —Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the suf ferers by the recent defalcations of Sir Thomas Tut tor, while he was Registrar of the Supreme Court of Judica ture in Bengal, was held in the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, to take into consideration the measures to be adopted to regain the whole or part of the monies lost by such defalcations. R. Alexander, Esq., .having been called upon to preside, said that everything was now ready for them to proceed to lay their Bill before Par liament. The Hon. Stuart Wortley had given them access to all the documents he had in his possession which bore upon the subject, and they had also received several communicati , ns from Sir Edward Ryan, the gentleman who appointed Sir Themes Turton to the office of registrar. It was then agreed that the sum required to defray the expenses of the Bill should be raised in the manner thought best fit by the committee, and that those who had any demands were to send their names and addresses to F. auttieworth, acting as SOliCitOT. LONDONi WEDNP,SDAY EVENING, JULY 4, IMO. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF - COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair ,hortly after Twelve. REPORT. The report on the New North Road Continuation Bill was further considered and agreed to. SECOND READING. llogliton's Divorce Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. T.

BROWN presented petitions to the same effect from ditresent parts of Lancashire. Mr. W. PATTEN presented petitions from Lanca shire in favour of the People's Charter. HIGHWAY (DISTRICT SURVEYORS) BILL. Mr. FREWEN moved the second reading of this Bill. His only object in bringing forward the Bill was to have a district surveyor appointed. The Bill was founded entirely on certain clauses in the Highway Act, which could not be carried out unless the present Bill was adopted. He knew of in. stances in bis own county (Leicestershire) where the surveyor was appointed sulely by the au thority of the proprietors of the districts through which the road run, and these roads were always in the best order, and the expense less than in any other parts. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND opposed the Bill. In all the districts with which be was acquainted great opposition was made to the Bill. This seemed to him to be one of the instances of meddling legislation to in crease county rates and expenses, which were always being brought before the House. He should move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. RICE thought the only objection to the Bill was the time of the session at which it was introduced. Nothing could be worse than the present system of road surveying. Sir JOHN TROLLOPE thought it would be much better.f his Hon. Friend withdrew this Bill for the pre sent at least. He thought that this measure would be better introduced by the Government. He should, therefore, vote for the amendment. Lord H. VANE would also support the amendment. Mr. CORNEWALL LEWIS could not think that it would be desirable to proceed further at present to legis late on this subject. He was not, however, unfavourable t o the general principle, but the machinery was very complicated, and it was almost impossible to carry it into operation. He hoped that it would not be proceeded with. Mr. BECKETT DENISON thought that it would be very advisable to withdraw the Bill, for it was absurd to think that it could be gone through with at this period of the session. Mr. TATTON EGERTON supported the principle of the Bill, and hoped to hear an answer from the Go vernment that a measure of this sort would be intro duced. Sir GEORGE GREY thought that the real objection to the Bill was the increased expenditure which it would entail on the county rates. He had no objection to say that Government were favourable to such a measure, and his Hon. Friend the Under-Sec etary of State had long had his attention directed to the subject. After some observation from Mr, GOULBURN, Mr. VERNON SMITH advised his Hon. Friend to persevere with the B 11. Mr. BANKES thought that if his Hon. Friend fol lowed the advice of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, he would greatly benefit the country. Mr. ROBERT PALMER would support the Bill on the ground that it was a short Bill and aimed only at one object, and was therefore more intelligible. Captain HARRIS said that his experience of com prehensive measures had bi en such that he was very much inclined to fight shy of them, and if the promoter of this Bill pressed the second reading to a division, he should certainly vote with him. Mr. FREWEN explained why the Bill had not been pressed forward at an earlier period of the session, and stated that the circumstance had arisen from the position of the ministerial measures. Mr. C. LEWIS said that he had alreay stated that the Government were not by any means unfriendly to the principles of the Bill, although they greatly ob jected to several of the details, and he was prepared to vote for the second reading, with the understanding that it should not proceed any further this session than the affirmation of the principle. To this Mr. Frewen assented, and after a few words of observation from Mr. Roebuck, to the effect, that he trusted those who employed the surveyors would be obliged to pay them, and from Mr. Becket Denison, ex pressing a desire that every surveyor would be limited to his own parishes, the Bill was read a second time without a division, and was ordered to be committed this day week. MARRIAGES BY LICENSE. Mr. EWART, in moving the second reading of tt.e Marriages by License Bill, said that it was simply in tended to remedy an inconvenience, and obviate an in justice, which was a great oppression, and an advantage to nobody. By the law as it at present stood, no Dis• sewer could be married without first giving a seven days' notice to the General Registrar of the district; whereas persons who were members of the Established Church had nothing more to do than make their declaration, pay the money for the license, and then get married as soon as they pleased. The Bill was intended to rectify this injustice. He had consulted the General Registrar of births, marriages, and deaths upon the subject, and be had declared that there was not the slightest objection to the Bill, and believing, therefore, that none existed, he would move the second reading. Mr. GOULBURN was surprised at this motion, as he had certainly understood that the Hon. Gentleman in tended to withdraw it. Sir G. GREY said that the Hon. Member for Dum fries had only explained the present state of the law, and as it appeared that the General Registrar was not opposed to the principle of the Bill, there could be no objection to passing it. _ _ . BffOTIIERTON said, that seeing the present feeling in the House, and considering the state of busi ness, he would recommend his Hon. Friend to with draw it. Mr. EWART said, that seeing the advisability of this course, he would introduce it at an early period of the next session. The Bill was then withdrawn. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY CON VEYANCE BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, the object of which is to render the disposal of real property almost as facile as that of personal property. The several clauses were passed without comment, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day week. MARRIAGE WITH THE SISTER OF A DE- CEASED WIFE, Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE and several other Mem bers presented petitions, some in favour of, and others against the Bill. - The House then went into Committee on the Bill, end on the first clause being proposed, . . Mr. GOULBURN said that he did not think that it was wise to discuss a Bill too often, and he should therefore offer no further opposition to it, and content himself with merely offering a few observations as it progressed. Clauses 1 and 2 were then passed. On the third clause being proposed, • Mr. GOULBURN said that au alteration had been introduced into the Bill since the second reading, the effect of which was to prevent the validity of any mar• riage with the sister of a deceased wife in any case when the individuals had been convicted of adultery together. Now, how could such a clause possibly operate, for he would appeal to any gentleman in that House whether there were not feelings in the heart of every female which in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred would prevent her from entering the witness-box and im peaching the honour of her own sister and her husband? He only made this observation to show to what lengths this relaxation of the law was leading them. Mr. STUART WORTLEY said that this clause had been introduced at the express desire of persons high in the Church, and it was in tended to prevent that jealousy of feeling 'which might possibly arise when a woman was resident under the roof of her sister's husband. The only case that had ever occurred of such a conviction of adultery had occurred under the present repressive state of the law. In that case the husband and wife respectively proceeded for a divorce. They obtained it, and when the tie had been dissolved the relationship was at an end, and the gentle man and lady who had before been brother and sister-in law, were openly married within three weeks after the Act for the divorce:had been obtained. Mr. HOPE, in the absence of Mr. Round e ll Palmer, rose to move the following amendment on the third clause :—" That nothing in this Act contained shall be be deemed or construed, in any civil or ecc l es i ast i ca l court of this realm, to alter or in any wise affect any doctrine, canon, or law ecclesiastical, of the United Church of England and Ireland, or of the Church of Scotland, whereby the degrees of consanguinity and affinity, within which marriage is now held to be pro hibited by the doctrine and discipline of the same churches respectively are settled or defined; and no clergyman, minister, or officer, of either of the said churches shall be required or authorised, by virtue of this Act, to solemnize or grant any license for solem nizing any marriage contrary to the doctrine or disci cipline of the church of which he is such clergyman, minister, or officer; nor shall any such clergyman, minister, or officer, who may hereafter solemnize or grant any license for solemnizing any such marriage, be exempted, by virtue of this Act, from any spiritual or ecclesiastical censure or punishment to which he would by law be subject if this Act had not been passed." Mr. Si UART WORTLEY said he had_ framed this clause in order to meet tLe consciences of all parties. He was, however, anxious to obtain the opinion of the Rouse upon this subject. As regarded the canons of the Church, it was certain that the 99th canon prohi bited such marriages as were contrary to the word of God; but before any man could be proceeded against it would be necessary to prove that the marriage, for which he was prosecuted, was contrary to the law of God. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE ARMY.—We understand that Captain P. P. Storey, of the 38th Foot, has been appointed staff officer of the pensioners at Stockport, and that Captain Christie is now engaged superintending the formation of a new division of the London district.of pensioners, the head quarters of which will be at Deptford. Mr. Marah had an interview yesterday with Earl Grey. CITY ELECTION. The poll closed yesterd iy afternoon as the Guildhall clock struck fOur, when both the candidates, acc;nnpanied by their frLnds, appeared in front of the hustings. The hall was densely filled with electors, who gave three cheers for Baron Rothschild, three for the people, with three for the Queen, and the candidates then retired. . Mr. D. W. WIRE then presented himself to congratulate the electors on the glorious victory they had achieved in favour of the cause of civil and religious liberty, and as to morrow the poll would be declared, and would show to them a triumphant majority, he hoped he should have the honour and pleasure of telling them the exact result, as well as of demonstrating the influence it would have upon the country.—(Hear, and cheers.) He could not but express his unfeigned surprise and regret that his Honourable Friend, George Frederick Young, should have deluded a young nobleman to come there and contest the election, after all the respectable Tories and merchants of the City had de clined to do so. —(Hear, hear.) It was strange, but no less ridiculous, that after every respectable man had refused to enter the field with Baron Rothschild, Mr. Young should have been obliged to go to the west end of the town to seek a young nobleman in order to fight what he knew to be a losing game.—(Cheers.) But they would set them a good example—they would use their victory with moderation; but they would tell them at the same time that they were not to be dictated to or controlled. They did not intend to - rest quiet in the city of London until this remnant of bigotry should be wiped from the statute-book, so that all men should be free.—(Cheers.) It might be that the House of Lords claimed the privilege of rejecting the Bill. Well, they would concede them that, and all their constitutional rights—they would defend their privileges, but at the same time they would vindicate their own right to perfect freedom of election in choosing a fellow-citizen to represent them in Parliament —(Cheers.) What right had the House of Lords to say that the gentle man in theelecte Commonsdbythec Hitizoenusse of Parliament?ofLondenshouldpneap o r ttak s e th h e i y s seat would say that if they had passed this Bill, the Queen would have been at liberty to make a Jew a Peer, but still that gave them no right to re ject the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Suppose her Majesty had made a Jew a Peer, and this Bill had passed the House of Commons, enabling him to take his seat—(A Voice—" But she can't do it")—they would then have had the singular anomaly of two branches of the Legislature opposed to one and one opposed to two.—(Hear, hear, and cheers ) Some one said the Queen could not make a Jew a Peer. Why she had made two or three Baronets.—(Hear, hear.) She had sanctioned the appointment of Jews to the magis tracy, she had given her sanction to Acts of Parliament ad mitting them to municipal offices, while in the Speech from the Throne what did she do but give a recommendation to the House of Lords and their faithful Commons to pass the Bill?—(Cheers.) So then they had the Queen with them —they had the House of Commons with them—they had the electors of the city of London with them, and, finally, they had the Liberals of all the kingdom with them.— (Cheers.) It was useless, therefore, their Lordships attempting to make an example of the Jews. Let them rather hear thevoice p o as f s hthte eßil lcitizens a of- nc L r o e n st d o orne peace and London—let them tranquillity y ui t l h li e ty ir choice, to the greatest city in the world.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HALL then came forward and was received with loud cheers. He said he was not going to excite their feelings ; he was desirous of appealing to their clear and dispassionate opinion upon the position in which the city of London had been placed through an act of one of the branches of the Legislature, which had not re sponded to the return of the city of London. In doing that he felt it to be his duty—(Cheers)— a fearless one, to draw the attention of those present to what had passed in the House of Lords, in the debate on the third reading of the Oaths' Bill.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of Oxford—(Hisses, and cries of " Oh, oh")—the Bishop of Oxforo, undisguised in his place in Parliament, screening himself with the privilege of a Peer of the realm, was pleased to say that the citizens of London had been bribed with Jewish gold.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") Such was the twaddle of a prelate, a member of the Bench of Bishops, and such were the means by which the Bill was thrown out of the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) He was de lighted to hear that the old friend of the people, Harry Brougham, had become again, after many . backSlidings,- . the friend and advocate of the cause of the people and the sup porter of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) That Noble Lord had in the most masterly manner advocated the second reading of the Bill, and put the Bishop of Oxford on the shelf; together with his stupid nonsense, for argument he could not call it.— (Cheers.) He (Mr. H.) represented the long shore men. He gloried in doing so—( Cheers and laugh tet ) and being their representative, he asked would the citizens of London tolerate or quietly pocket the in sult that lied been inflicted on them by the Bishop of Oxford, when he said that they bad been bribed by Jewish gold ?—(Cheers, and cries of " No, we will net.") He was glad to hear it.—(Cheers.) They were not going to allow the House of Lords to create a revolution in Lon don—(Cheers and laughter) but that House had thrown down the gauntlet, and the citizens of London, to their honour, had nobly picked it up —(Great cheering.) The citizens of London had now that gauntlet in their posses sion, and the House of Lords might depend upon it that the champion of the greatest city in the world would not be worsted in the fight.—(Cheers.) That gauntlet was not in the hands of Baron Rothschild—(Cheers)—it was not in the hands of the Jew—(Loud cheers.) The citizens of London did not look to the Rothschilds or the Jews, but to the carrying of a great principle. The citizens of London would carry the Jews on their shoulders; they made their cause their own, and they would never rest satisfied till they had given them as ample privileges as they enjoyed them selves. He trusted when another measure was brought in the Lords would reject it again.—(Cries of "If they do, we will return Rothschild again in spite of them.") He hoped that election would open the eyes of the House of Lords.— (Cheers.) That body had sent them a young lordling, a young poet laureate--(Great laughter)—to teach the citizens of London their catechism with respect to their commer cial operations.— (Cheers and laughter.) Now what did that Noble Lord say ? He must confess that he had read so m e of V his ~liandiworlca, and - lie was bound to say that he had not profited much by that reading, and was sorry that he had wasted so much time in doing so; but among the twaddle the Noble Lard penned—(Great laughter)—he had written, or thought he had written, the epitaph of the City of London in the fol lowing lines : Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die, But save us still our old nobility." —(Great laughter and cheering.) Ic put him in mind of an old friend of his, a doctor, who wrote his own epitaph, in something of the following strain:— _ " Oh, 'Cruel death, how could thou be so contrary, As to kill thy best friend, the apothecary." (Great laughter.) Now who, he would ask, was the Noble Lord a most amiable young man, doubtless, and one of the sprigs of the aristocracy, but was it to be said that the city of London was so devoid of men of talent of Conservative principles, that they could not find a man of mind and comprehension to come forward, and were obliged to go to the west-end for one.—(Laughter.) He would say to the citizens of London, show to this young nobleman a generous sympathy and kindness, for could they doubt that he had been deceived ?—(Cheers and laughter.) He had written on subjects in poetry that he knew nothing about—(Laughter)— and he trusted he would go back to his papa, the great Duke of Rutland—(Hear) — and tell him that in the City of London he had not re ceived a hearty welcome—(Cries of "He never will") — that there they blew great guns, but not for him.—(Cheers.) He hoped when the Lords threw out the Bill again they would have another lordling, and that he would find that in the city of London there were plenty of tar and feathers.—(Great laughter.) In conclusion, he trusted that the citizens of London would never rest till they had carried out to the fullest extent the great principle of civil and religious liberty—(Great cheering) —together with electoral rights.—(Cheers.) Let them nail their flag to the mast, and let their last prayer be that they might have just, free, and open electoral rights for all sects and creeds. _ _ ___Proclamation was then made by the crier that the Hall would meet to-morrow morning at eight o'clock for the purpose of enabling the Sheriffs to east up the poll-books, and that the official declaration of the poll would be made by the Sheriff at twelve o'clock. - -- - The hall during the ceremony resounded with cries for Baron Rothschild. M ae A dr l mw d e oi r trh m e aa enthusiastic A e a n b o l u e A t o , r cheering. thenaereor Baron n g p i r .o e t s h e us n ce t he saididl himself, d h i nt s l e ws l e f o , l fua thatl n d d h w a ee s beenre rv; should have returned thanks to the electors, instead of re questing him to do so, but the Baron was really so much excited and overpowered with gratitude for the victory he had this day achieved, that it might prove of serious consequence to him were he, in the present state of his health, to attempt to give utterance to the grate ful feelings that overpowered him.—(Loud cheers.) His friends had, therefore, thought it more advisable for the electors as well as himself that he should have one night's interval and a few hours' rest before he addressed them, so that he might come before them to-morrow like a giant refreshed, for the purpose of communicating to his constituents the grateful sentiments he felt towards them for the triumph they had this day achieved.—(Cheers, and some slight hissing.) He was sorry to hear that any one present re gretted even for a moment the vote which the liberal electors of the City of London had this day come to.—( Hear.) During the contest there were many who would rather that the Baron should not gain the day—(Hear, hear)—but he felt confident that every true Englishman—every true free man—every true Briton—every one who possessed the blessing of liberty both social and religious, would consider, not that the citizens of London have gained a triumph, but that this great country—this great king dom -had laid down a principle that would do it as much honour as any work that had ever been accomplished by the united hands of Englishmen.— (Loud cheers,) He would not repeat what had been said throughout this contest about sinking the name of Roths child, and treating the Baron as the beacon of a great prin ciple. It was the cause of civil and religious liberty they had been struggling for—a cause which had worked cut such changes, such great and glorious vast reformations and in ben t e h fi i c s ia c l ountry—a cause which insisted that no law should interfere with the conscience of a man or with the duty he owed to his Creator. Let it go forth from this day throughout the whole country that every man might have the privilege of worshipping his God according to his own conscience—that no punish ment, no penalty, no disability should henceforth re main on the statute-Look to be put in force against any British subject.—(Cheers.) He had just had the majority put into his hands; but, of course, at that time they had not been able accurately to make out the poll. Sufficient calculations, however, had been made to enable him to announce that the majority was between 3,4u0 and 3,soo—(Cheers)—a larger majority than any candidate had enjoyed in the cite of London for a vast many years.— (Renewed cheers.) lie had now done; he was sure the electors would be glad to obtain a little relaxation— they had been working hard in the great and good cause, and as he had been labouring with them, he knew that they must by this time require some little rest.— (Hear, hear.) In cor,clu,ion, therefore, he trusted the vote of t o -d a y wo uld convey throughout the kingdom the feeling of the City of London, that those who may be chosen to fill high stations and places in society; that he and others who by their suf frages and he locked forward with a pleasureable ambition to the attainment of the honour—might be elevated to the office of Lord Mayor, were equally worthy of a seat on the green benches of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Three cheers were then given for the Baron, and the occu pants of the hall quietly dispersed. THE LATE COLLISION ]N THE ATLANTIC..--WE understand that the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have voluntarily intimated to his worship the Mayor their intention of forwarding, free of charge, by their two next steamers to America, the persons saved from the vessel which unfortunately came into collision with the Europa steam. ship. The offer is only characteristic of the unvarying generosity of this enterprising and successful company.—Liverpcol Standard. " The Animals' Friend Society," of 457, West Strand, on Thursday caused Edward Oxenham, a drover, 33, to be fined in costs by Air. Sticker, at Southwark, for having ill-treated some cattle. Not paying, he was committed to prison for Boren days. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

SUGAR.—To-day there was a further decrease in the sup ply of Raw Sugar brought to market, and holders displayed firmness; still operations were not upon a larger scale to supply home or export orders.

The pur chases amounted to 290 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 15U hhds 13 trcs Barbadoes at the 13s duty, which went at firm rates ; fine yellow 42s to 435, and middling to good 39s to 418 6d.

Bonded Crushed Sugar is still dull of sale at 28s 6d to 295. MAURITIUS.—The market has been less freely supplied with all sorts for several days past, and former rates are sup ported; none has been submitted to public sale, and by pri vate treaty only small purchases have been made by refiners and grocers.

Equiria dropped off after running a quarter of a mile, and Sweetheart shortly after took his place next Tordesillas.

The short interval between the last race and the de parture of the special train leaves us only time to add that the company present was quite as large as we have seen at a July meeting for several years, the weather favourable, albeit windy enough for March, and the course, thanks to four or five hours' rain last night, in excellent condition.

BY THE AVTDOE OF " HOCHELAGA."—" This new work gives us el l e plete history of the settlement of North Am eric a, by Z h uat i ° : the destruction of the French power by Wolfe, i account interesting account middle glurious victory, on the plains of Abraham, of the last century. We have a most i of the discovery military operations which pr eceded of ' Canada by the bra ve Jacques Cartier, and uf its settlement b Wolfe. In the glory o f that event, all the disasters to British ar ms which its conquest by the French and the had previously occurred in Canada, are for gotten. There can be litt le d oubt in any mind, that but for the astounding daring of Wolfe, in leading his army up the faco of an almost inaccessible precipice, we should never have possessed Canada. The very con quest of this colony, may perhaps have led to the loss of the North American colonies, for no longer harassed and kept in check by a neighbouring _Hostile power, they afterwards speedily developed themselves into a nation strong enough to throw off its allegiance to the mother country. Montcalm, in his last moments, indeed, pre dicted that suc h wou ld b e t h e e ff ect o f th e defeat of the French power in Canada. We cannot but pronounce this work as the most complete yet given of the struggles of the English and French for domination in the New World; for the conquest of Canada not only deprived France of a magniacent colony, but it destroyed for ever her long-cherished project of hemming in the English by tneans of her power on the north, her colonies in the south, and her c:aims to supremacy over the un known wilds of th© west.".— Weekly Chronicle.

VIE QUEEN V. CUTTS. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Prentice appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bramwell fo r the defence. This was an indictment for perjury, alleged to have been committed by the defendant in an answer to a bill in Chancery, which answer he filed in the month of Juue, 1848. The circumstances of the case were these:—The defendant was an attorney and solicitor residing at Little Bradfield Hull, in the county of Essex, and near his resi dence were sisuated certain lands, to which Edmund Salmon (the prosecutor) and his brothers became en titled under the will of an uncle of theirs, named John Smith. A part of this property was bought by the defendant at a sale by auction, which took place in 1845, and for this part, which consisted of three fields'adjoin ing the prepilty of the defendant, he agreed to pay s sum of 2,500/. In 1847, the transaction not having ban completed, Joseph Salmon, one of the brothers, filed s bill in Chancery against Mr. Ci.tts, to compel him to complete the purchase. In his answer to that bill he set forth . circumstances in which he denied his liability under t h e bill then filed against him, but in the follo d win s g au l on, another bill was filed against him by Edmun d ucnontract plhainvntittrer and the object of this bill was to 0 . 1 re scinded, on the ground that the bill had been wrongfully induced o ok lands p a c h e a . d been the le defendant, under in in t t o h i t s h s e e c c o o n n d . tract, and had been so induced. by by his answer to this bill, denied a a l e th to e sold.

The Jury retired for a considerable time to consider the verdict, and finally found a verdict of Guilty on the fii st assignment of p rjury contained in the indictment.
