But Ido n t thi k I ought to enter into Piny 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 eh eters. We have here two Iciest honourable gentlemen who fixed the day of election—your Sheriffs.—(H. ar, hear.) Well, it has been left to their decision, and I have on this occasion to thank them, not only for their kindness end 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, end did not come forward with much zeal, for they knew that right and justice was on our side.—(Loud "cheers.) Thursday night was the period whenwe began to prepare ourselves for the contest. Tro was a meeting of our committeemen, and it was then d ec id e d w hat course we should adopt,e ; he and we all pl e d ge d ourse l ve s to do any thing in n ri n e ur Friend w Lord to gain t cause.—(Cheers.) M John Mann ers generous ly informed y me n that he intended to come forward. This was a very generous intimation on his part, sin c e he had no right to communcatehis in tention to us. This was on Saturday. Ho i had o from Saturday till Monday to prepare for the contest, and our opponents had as much time as we had. lam afraid, gentlemen, that I have detained yeti longer than 1 ought.—(Loud cries of " No, no," an d a cry a We like the look of you.") I have, #is true, entered into these details to set myself right. I trust it will be a long time before we shall have another contest. I could not, on such an occasion as this, have a thought in m y heart which I did not communicate to you. I beg to thank you for listening to me with so much patience.— elk voice, "Don't go yet.") I beg, in conclusion, to thank you for the honour yea 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, citizsns, and elec tors of the City of London, I come forward to thank those who have un so li c i te 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 Hon. Gentle man who proposed my Hon. Friend and opponent, that eight years ago—being then a very young man—l pub li,hed some rather absurd poetry.—(Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, .I should have thought that the votes, the speeches, and the conduct of a man, who fur six, not eventful, years, had taken a fair share in pub lic 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 disqualified, 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 ctide in it than I do. If it was indifferent in sen• z ent, the meaning which it conveyed was 8 alterse. And now in taking leave of the subject I would heartily assure him that if 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 forward and bl(aAmedthe writer. Gentlemen, I now take leave of you— and laughter) voice, " Get thee to a nunnery—go," —I 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 friendrec•eived none from my honourable opponent and os ; and I teke this public opportunity a _ thanking him for the uniform courtesy and kindness inch 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 t he- 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 r°h,, cordial, and magnanimous manner in which You have tendered your support I heartily thank you, and my Honourable Friend and opponent, for th e goo d humour, moderation and courtesy with which they have exercised their opposition; and in w retiring from thi s h all, and relinquishing this con test,no sure I am that the principles that are down to-day will be up to-morrow _ ( e Gro o ansandhisses)—that at the next general election, come when it may, those great principles—this great be eat cause —th e Ch urc h , the Queen, will and th e people, vi ndicated—(Uproar)—they will be vindicated, not persons o f the great Perh a p s in my person, but in the The and i nte l l i gent constituencies of this empire. (.') e Nobl e Lord then retired amidst parti a l c h eering Baron ROTHSCHILD then came forward and proposed a vote of thaek s to the Sheriffs for the way in which they had performedt heir services. Lord Jlamas seconded the motion amidst the utmost noise. • Air. DeLeon then came forward and put the motion to the meeting. It was carried by great acclamation, and was followed by three cheers fur the Sheriffs. Mr. Sheriff FINNIS advanced to return thanks, and was received with loud cheers. He told the meeting that it was highly gratifying to the Sheriffs to find that the arrangements which they had made for conducting the election had given satisfaction to both parties.—(Cheers.) They had only d )ne what they considered to be their duty, viz., acted in an impartial manner throughout the whole proceed ings.—(Cheers.) Ile had no hesitation in saying that immediately on receiving the writ they felt that it was their bounden duty to fix a day fur 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.) Air. 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 could 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 coecede to them their rights and privileges', we will at the sltne time ma i nta i n our own.— (Continued cheers.) Let t hen understand most distinctly that the rights of the Peelle are th e secur i ty of their property, the safety the Church, and the safety of the younger branches of acted very silly in se n di ng t hi s ill- advised young man tzeong them there.—(L aug h ter and cries of " A boy.

They wished rather to preserve to Well so all the privileges of the Rouse of Lords, but at the same iinae 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 altbough e in spite of bigotry and intolerance, they had elected a man whose faith differed from their oe n, he hoped they, would not rest satisfied until they saw him seated in the House of Com mons.—(Cheer:.) he that d d t they ld by abusing t sT i o r r u: k s l use h ( a C t h t:h h e e e r ii )v couldicr or e y e a t with h a themmn y od g e rrYealtsitteeni,tl causea 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 had just parted from them, in a manner characterised by his usual good feelings and gentlemanly politeness, bad, be trusted, learned a lesson from this contest, namely, that the people of England were not what he designated them in the House of Commons, " en abstract something or nothing"--(A laugh)—but the only source of legitimate power.—(Cheers.) The N o bl e Lord, he trusted, would find that theirs was a power wielded and exercised for the good of all classes of his fellow-subjects, and that when, therefore, the voice of the people was heard, it was paramount and ought to be °be) ed.—(Cheers.) There were two principles involvedin this contest, one to choose their own repre sentatives,which the Housei of Lords had set aside, and denied to them, hut they had ratified their former choice—they had vindicated their framer decision. The next principle was the great principle of civil tied 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 r e ference 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 bad 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.—(Bear, hear.) If, however, the necessity had been demonstrated to them, he was convinced the majority would have been double what it was, since the whole City of London and the household electors almost to a man would have vindicated the great and glorious principle upon which this contest had bean conducted. It must be gratifying to the electoes 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 sail, 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.— (Cler ers.) He trusted that the whole Livery of London would cousider that they had performed their duty, but let them not rest satisfied with that.—(Cheers.) He would not say to than agitate, agitate, agitste(Great cheering)—but he would say to them, petition, petition, petitiore---(Great cheering)—till the Bill became a law, because 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 rot 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. THE SUN, (THIS DAY.) REPORT. SECOND READING. LONDON. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Th© SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve. The report on the New North Road Continuation Bill was further considered and agreed to. lloghton's Divorce Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. T. IYEYNCOURT presented several petitions from different parts of Lambeth in favour of the Pro tection of Women Bill. Mr. GODSON presented a petition from the clerks cf the Palace Court praying for some small compensation in case of the abolition of the Palace Court. Mr. HOBBOUSE presented a petition from Lincoln in favour of the Marriage Affinity Bill. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from Sstd dlcworth praying that no new licences might be granted to beer houses. Mr. W. BROWN presented petitions to the same effect from diffeEent parts of Lancashire. Mr. W. PATTEN presented petitions from Lanca shire in favour of the I'eople'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 he carried out unless the present Bill was adopted. He knew of in• stances in bis own county (Leicestershire) where the surveyor was appointed solely 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 par's. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND opposed the Bill. In all the districts with which he was acquainted great opposition was made to the Bill. This seemed to him to be ono of the instances of meddling legislation to in crease county rates and expenses, which were always being brought before the Howe. 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 tie session at which it was introduced. Nothing could be worse than the present system cf road surveying. Sir - JOHN TROLLOPE thought it would be much better.if his Hon. Friend withdrew this Bill for the pre sent at least. Ho thought that this measure would be better introduced by the Government. He should, therefore, vote for the amendment. Lord 11. 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. Ms. 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. GEORGE GREY thought that the real objection to the Bill was the increased expenditure which it would entail on the ccunty 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 all. Mr. BANKES thought that if his Hon. Friend fol lowed the advice of tlr> 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 been 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 be 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, acd 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. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, TIIESDAY.—The Quell and Prince, accom paid: d by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, arrived at Gosport about twenty minutes before five P.M. yesterday, and crossed to Cowes, in the Fairy yacht, under the command of Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence. •The august party reached Osborne about a quarter before six o'clock. Her Majesty was attended by the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, Lady in Waiting; the Hon. Miss Lennox, Maid of Honour in Waiting; the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Miss Hildyard, Lord Aifred Paget, and Colonel Seymour, Equerries in Waiting, Major-General Bowles, and Mr. Birch. _ . There was no addition to the Royal dinner party yes :erday. Her Royal Highness the DuChess of Gloucester visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday, at Clarence House, St. James's. Their liOyal Highnesses the Duchess of Cgmbridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, honoured Lady Marian Alford with their com pany yesterday evening, at her residence in Belgrave aquare. Sir Allan M'Nab had an interview with Lord John Russell, yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-. street. Sir Allan had also an interview with Earl Grey, at the Colonial- office, yesterday. The Earl of Burlington had an interview with Sir George Grey, yesterday, at the Home-office. Captain Walcot bad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday, at his official residence, in Downinglstreet.

THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM, OLD KENT -ROAD.,—Yesterday the ball-yearly general Court of this charity was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; Mr. H. B. 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 au 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 2,610/., 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 ,cf. the asylum amounted to 6551., and. towards the Endowment Fund there has been contributed 4151. The annual ball,and anniversary dinner produced upwards of 2001. • It is intended - to. hold • a fancy .fair, at the Vaux hall Gardens dvring 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 OF SCOTLAND.—On Alunday a preliminary meeting of the London branch of this insiitation for improving the condition of the labour ing elasses in Scotl a nd, particularly in the destitute High land districts, was held in the Freemasons' Tavern, and was att. nded by Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D. (in the chair), Charles Forbes, Esq. (of Asloun), James Mal colmson, Esq., Captain Cameron, the Rev. Dr. Mackay (of Dunoon), &c., &c. Expressions of regret for una voidable absence were received from the Chisholm, Cluny M'Pherson, &c. A s t atemen t respect i ng the alarming pro , pects of the destitute Highland peasantry was read by Mr. Bond, the secretary of the parent society." The contrast between those districts in which the permanent industrial improvenaents - recommended by the institution had been carritd 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 desire on the part of the gentlemen present to promote, by every possible means, the efficiency and success of this truly useful and patriotic society for enabling the destitute peasantry to attain a position of safety and of self-support through their own instrumentality. The Rev, Dr. Mackay, of Dunoon, at present acting in a de putation. to London, confirmed the statements of the secretary.of the parent society, from communications in his possession, and also from his own extensive experi ence in the High lauds and islands. Handsome donations from the , Duke of Montrose, Ludy Willoughby. de Eresby, &c., &c.; were announced, and a sub-committte appointed to arrange, the preliminaries of a public meet ing for bringing about the claims of the institution before the public. gIR THOMAS TURTON'S RECENT DEFALCATIONS II BENGAL.--Yesterday an adjouraed meeting of the suf ferers by the recent defalcations of Sir Thomas Tut ton, while he was Itvgistrar of the Supreme Court of Judica ture in Bengal, was held in th e L on d on T avern, Bishops gate-street, to takeinto consid erat i on t h e measures to b e adopted to regain the whole or put of the monies lost by tuch•defalcations. R. Alex an d er, Esq., having been called upon to preside, said th at everything was now proceed to lay their Bill b e f ore Par liament.ready fo Tthheetn had given them access to all the documents ho had in his po ssess i on which bore upon the subject , and,. they bad a l so received I t i o o n p . Stuart Wortley st , veral communications from Sir Edward Ryan the gentleman who appointed Sir Thomas Turku to the office of registrar. It was then agreed that the su m required to defray the expenses of the Bill should be raised in the manner thcught best fit by the committee, end that those who bad any demands were to send their names and addresses to F. Shuttlewortb, acting as solicitor. ALLEGED MURDER AT ENFIELD.—On Sunday af ternoon, the quiet villsge of Enfield was thrown into a state of excitement in consequence of a report that a murder bad' been committed at Chase Lodge, on the borders of Enfield Chase, now in the occupation of Mr. Buller, a solicitor. The report was found to be true, the butler having been stabbed to the beast. Yesterday evening at eight o'clock, an inquiry was commenced before Mr. Biggs, Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Old Sergeant Tavern, Chase side, Enfield, but adjourned until a future day. ST. HELENA GARDENS, ROTHERIIITHE.--FaVOUred by the recent excellent weather and the numerous and varied attractions put forward by the manager, these g!.rdeps have been very greatly frequented during the past few days. The several performances and vocal efforts of Mr. De Brenner, Mr. Charles Sloman, Mrs. Stephens, and Miss Marian, appear to give the utmost -t.tti:,faction to thi. e.udicnee, %%h le the arrangemetneuts of the gardens , the illuminations, the fireworks, &c., have met wish similar marks of approbation. MARRIAGES BY LICENSE. Mr. EW ART, in moving the second reading of tYe 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 senter 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. Fie had consulted the General Registrar of births, marriages, and deaths upon the subject, and he 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. Mr. BROTHERTON 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. E WART said, that seeing the advisability of this course, he would introduce it at an early period of tho 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- CE ASh) 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, and on the first clause kiting proposed, Mr. GOULBURN said that he did not think that it was wise to discuss a Bill too often, and ho 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 an alteration had been intresluced 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? lie only made this observation to show to what lengths this relaxation.of the law was leading them. Mr. SIZART 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 bad 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 alisence of Mr. Roundell 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 ecclesiastical 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 respeCtliely are settled or defined; and no clergy man, 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 at the church of which ho 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 be would by law be subject it this Act had not been passed." Mr. STUART WORTLEY said ho had framed this clause in order to meet the consciences of all parties. IL was, however, anxious to obtain the opinion of the House 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 Lond&ei district of pensioners, the head qu.aters of which will be ut Deptford. Mr. Marah had an interview - eaterday with Earl Grey. WEDNESDAY EVEN ING, JULY 4, 80. CITY EIECTION. The poll closed yesterday afternoon as the Guildhall clock struck four, when both the candidates, accompanied by their friends, appeared in front of the hustings. The hail 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 bad 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 bad de cl ned 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 elected by the citizens of London should not take his seat in the Commons House of Parliament? Perhaps they 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 bad the singular anomaly of two branches of the Legislature opposed to one anti 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 Bill7—(Cheers.) So then they had_the Queen with them —they . had the House of Commons with them—they theyhad the ha d electors theL o i f b t e h r e a city ls ofofaLllonthde kingdomonwithem;viatnhd,tfihenmal.l—y, (Cheers.) It was useless, therefore, their Lordships attempting to make an example of the Jews. Let them rather hear the voice of the citizens of London—let them ratify their choice, pass the Bill and restore peace and tranquillity to the greatest city in the world.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HALL then came forward and was received with loud cheers. He said be 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 Oxforc, 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 bad 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 laughte') -- and being their representative, he asked would the citizens of London tolerate or quietly pocket the in sult that had been inflicted on them by the Bishop of Oxford, when he said that they had been bribed by Jewish gold ?—(Cheers, and cries of " No, we will not.") 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 some of his handiworks, and he 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 Lord 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. ) It 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, hew 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 be 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 th• Sheriffs to east up the poll-books, and that the official sleclaration of the poll would be made by the Sheriff at twelve o'clock. The hall during the ceremony resounded with cries for Baron Rothschild. Mr. Alderman SALO3I2IIIS then presented himself, an d was received with enthusiastic cheering. He said it would have been far more agreeable to Baron Rothschild himself that he 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 Out rtfreshed, 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. aple. It was the cause of civil and religious liberty they had been struggling for—a cause which had worked out such vast and beneficial changes, such great and glorious reformations in this country—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-book 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 3,400 and 3,soo—(Cheers)—a larger majority than any candidate had enjoyed in the city of London for a vast many years.— (Renewed cheers.) He 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 conclusion, therefore, he trusted the vote of to-day would 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 looked 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 IN TIIE 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 pith the Europa steam ship. The offer is only characteristic of the unvarying generosity of this enterprising and successful company.—Liverpool Standard. " The Animals' Friend Sceiety," of 457, Wegt Strand; on Thursday caused Edward Oxenham, a drover, 33, to be fined in costs by Mr. Seeker, at Southwark, for having ill-treated some cattle. Not paying, he was committed to prison for seven days. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

Mr. Knowles and Mr. Prentice appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Sergeant Shce and Mr. Bramwell for 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 June, 1848. The circumstances of the case were these:-=The defendant was an attorney and solicitor residing at Little Bradfield Hall, in the county of Essex, and near his resi dence were situated 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 1545, and for this part, which consisted of three fields adjoin ing the property of the defendant, he agreed to pay a sum of 2.500/. In 1847, the transaction not having byes completed, Joseph Salmon, one of the brothers, filed a bill in Chancery against Mr. Cutts, to compel him to complete circumstances in which he denied his liabihty , l , 3_ll ear the purchase. In his answer to that bill he set f orth bill then filed against him, but in the_fo u ll n e _ Salmon, the d •t of this bill was to bar e . co ntrac t . re scinded,and the object that the plaintiff in this secant', another bill was filed against him by on the ground tha t enter into the 011-• bill had been wrongfully been so induced by taedefendant, under tract, and had hose direction the fiends had been Whose advice and by w The defendant, by h i s answer to s bill,denied illi induced to • sold. and expressly negatived iitehgoaste i onvl c o on w te e in re ed iving the advice under which the sale took give.

Lord DENMAN summed up the evidence, leaving it to the jury to say on which side there appeared 'to be e balance of- testimony. The Jury retired for a considerable time to consider the verdict, and filially found a verdict . of Guilty on the first assignment of perjury contained in the indictment. This was an assignment which alleged thit the defend ant had advised the persons entitled to the estate,. thas they bad better sell it and divide the produce. • _ MR.
