THIS EVENING, two great classes of society, the two classes cor responding with the two Chambers of the Legislature. This is surely not the most fitting season to evoke dilcordanc?, between the Lords and the Commons. When throw.s have crumbled to dust ; and whole aristocracies have been dissipated by' the whirlwinds of revolution ; and democracy has caused its gigantic strength to be felt from the northern shores of the Baltic to the southern beach of the Mediterranean, from the Vistula to the Garonne—when the stub bornness of Peers has suddenly changed Monar chies into Republics, and substituted for dynasties dating back beyond the age of the Carlovingians the leaders of a people consolidated into a Pro visional Government, it would clearly be nothing less than an exhibition of lunacy for the Upper House of the British Parliament , to place themselves in an atti tude of antagonism with the masses of the population. And to do this, moreover, in reference to the holiest principles, the fundamental principles of the Con stitution Will be performed TIIE KNIGHT OF ARVA.

INTRUSION, which will be committed by Mr. Wright to the annoyance of Mr. Paul Bedford. To conclude with JOHN JONES. Fora long while the conviction has forced itself upon our consideration, that, glorious as the demon stration of the 10,h of April, 1848, unques- tionably was, as indicative of the stern and unani mous resolve of the English people to strangle political fanaticism, and to proclaim to the whole world their allegiance to the double cause of Peace and Order—its meaning has been either mis understood or distorted to suit the feelings of the Ultra-Conservative aristocracy. That man must be either blind or mad who can look back upon that day as upon an occasion when the people of Great Britain pledged themselves to become the slaves of an oligarchy. The 10th of April was the jubilee of Order, not of Aristocracy. It was expressive of the popular determination to conserve rather than to destroy. Yet the conservation for which the community then pronounced itself with one voice was strictly a discriminative conservation, the conservation of what was good accompanied by the expurgation of what was bad or indifferent in the Constitution. If the Peers were to delude them selves into a contrary opinion, and were to continue to act accordingly, they wo uld in the end discove r t o their cost the error of the ir j ud g ment, the y would rue the day ou whic h the y came to such an erroneous and destructive d ecision. But that we look upon The matter of the Jewish Disabilities as one already re moved from the reach of their jurisdiction, we should commend the bigotted majority of the Lords to weigh well their proceedings in its regard before they presume to hazard another step in opposition to the will of the community. As it is we cannot think that the Commons of England will any longer con sent to bow before the insolent fanaticism of the here ditary branch of the Legislature simply from a servile obedience to the routine of Parliamentary etiquette.

The rule established to suit the convenience of the Quaker may be imitated to satisfy the conscience of a Jew. If an oath may be altogether dispensed with to afford room for the entrance of one of the Society of Friends, an oath may surely be modified to enable the Hebrew to find his way to the benches of the Commons. What has been done with so much ease for the followers of Fox may be effected without difficulty for the fol lowers of MoSEs. A hint to the House of Commons i 3 enough ! Now—s hint to the House of Lords ! A hint to those Right Honourable and Right Reverend Sena tors who appear to be tripping forward so very unconsciously and hilariously towards the brink of a precipice ! A hint just to save them from the immi nent dangers of their position, to open their eyes and enable them to turn back before they go blindly dancing over the edge ! Let them beware lest in the midst of their interference with the prerogatives of the House of Commons of England, the latter should retaliate upon them by refusing to grant the Supplies ! How foolish the Bench of Bishops would look in such a predicament! What a sorry figure the whole of the Peers would cut in such an event ! And such an event is always possible, for (let it not be forgotten) the purse of the nation is in the hands of the House of Commons ! While the lovers of Civil and Religious Liberty are exulting in the magnificent majority by which the Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD has been elected the representative of the first city in the world, we wonder very much what the sensations of the Country Party are under the circumstances! They must feel themselves rather small by the way—so small that we should estimate them microscopically. At any rate, this we must say of them—they played for a high game—and, and, and (a mere secondary consideration) lost it ! They were to have followed up their recently daring tactics, their displays in Drury-lane Theatre and on the loftier stage of the Parliament, by carrying the City of London by storm—by blowing the tantarrara of victory in the heart of the empire—by inducing the capital to choose as its Member a Protectionist. They have done all—but succeed 1 And if the num bers polled by the Jewish candidate in 1849 be less by 173 than those polled by him in 1847, the votes obtained for the Protectionists in 1849 are less by 1,600 than those obtained for them in 1847. Everything, indeed, combines to render the victory of yesterday's election complete and decisive. Everything attests that the capital of Eng land is now permanently at the head of this as it has been of so many other great political movements. Everything proclaims that the Electors of London have destroyed the last vestige of religious intolerance and civil tyranny; and that they have at length se cured for England in fact, as well as in word, Civil and Religious Liberty. Were it not for the ulterior objects contemplated by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire —were it not that his motion was intended " seriously to damage, if not effectually to destroy, the Ministry," and to bring into power a party desirous of imposing fresh restrictions on trade and commerce, and of taxing the " many" for the benefit of the privileged few—we would indeed rejoice to witness the appoint mtnt of a Committee "to take into consideration the state of the nation." . The Hon. Gentleman did not by any means exaggerate the distress and difficulties endured by the industrious classes through out the entire country. Ably and eloquently he de picted the sufferings of the people, and his tale was unfortunately " ower true." He exhibited but too faithful a picture of the fearful depreciation of every description of property, and of the contraction of in dustrial pursuits, and the strictest and rcost searching investigation should unquestionably be in stituted Inta rne - - causes mei. bave produced or contributed to produce such lamentable results. But the Honourable Gentleman is grievously mistaken as to the nature of these causes. He has, perhaps, succeeded in showing that the acknowledged evils are not ascribable to "continental convulsion, or railway investment, or cormaiercial speculation," or even "to the Irish famine ;" neither are they to be ascribed to the " newcommercial system," and the abolition of protective imposts, of which he so loudly complained. It is owing to the adoption and establishment of that " new system" that the nation has been enabled to weather the storm, and to en. counter successfully the difficulties by which it has been surrounded. These difficulties would have been fearfully aggravated, perhaps rendered insurmount able, if prohibitory tariffs had been retained, if the corn-laws flourished, and the " sliding scale" had been maintained in full operation. It is not because the principles of free trade have been partially recognised that the nation has suffered, but because they have not been fully and completely car ried out; because " free trade in money" has not been conceded; because a system of indirect taxation still imposes undue restrictions on our foreign commerce. It is true that those duties are -now levied for pur poses of revenue, and not of protection ; the effect is, h amount however, s till t h e same, and but too painfully per ceptible.

London has again testified its devotion to the sacred cause of Civil and Religious Liberty. The trium phant return of the Baron LIONEL NATHAN DE RontscunD by the extraordinary majority of 3,203 votes beyond those polled for his opponent must satisfy the House of Peers that the opinion which they have dared to o u t rage i s neither i ns ignificant in the number of its votaries, or evanes cent in it s cha racter. The fact that, i n d e fi ance of a decision of the Lipper Hous e of Parlisemreyn citizens of the metropolis o f E ng l and have n one of the most distinguished J ews i n the United Kingdom as', their representative must be sufficient of itself to prove to our hereditary legislators that no effort on their part can baulk the wishes of the com munity in this particular. Occurring, moreover, as the re-election of ROTHSCHILD does, at a period when the whole European Continent is convulsed with the deadly strife between classes—a strife originating, in the first instance, in the disinclination of the nobles to yield to the rational demands of the population—it . requijes ni?

The six Secretaries were re elected. In consequence of the sudden departure of General Bedeau for Rome, there must be another election for the fourth Vice-President.

A glance at our miscellaneous columns will show that our appeal was not ineffectually made, yesterday evening, for aid to those brave Hungarian Hussars who are, at present, penniless sojourners on the shores of England. Pecuniary contributions to the Testimonial proposed by ourselves have (as will be observed) been already transmitted to us and duly received. In addition to these and other communica tions upon the same subject, one of our Correspon dents makes inquiry as to which spot may be regarded as the repository of such subscriptions ? Having ourselves suggested the Testimonial, we are willing, we are not only willing, we shall be re joiced to become the medium for the transmission of any sums that may be forwarded to us in trust for the Hungarian Hussars encamped near Folkstone— sums which will express at once the hospitality of England and the cordial sympathy of the English people in the great and glorious cause of Hungarian freedom ! To all those who have secretly sympathised in that sublime cause from the day when BEM first drew his sword from its scabbard, and when KOSSUTH first raised his prophetic voice to predict the liberation of the Magyars—to all those who have exulted in the suc cessive victories achieved over the Imperiallste, and who have repined at the apparent apathy with which England has throughout remained a mere spectator of the struggle—we here repeat our earnest appeal in behalf of the heroic fugitives from German servi tude to Hungarian liberty. Let words and thoughts now reveal themselves in deeds, to enable this band of patriots to reach the country now sorely in need of the arms of her valiant children. Any contribution to the Hungarian Testimonial will reach its destination if transmitted to The Sun Office, under cover to " The Editor." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the Legiaattve Assembly leave of absence was granted to General BEDEAU, to fulfil a temporary mission entrusted to him by the Minister of War. The Constitutionnel, in announcing the departure of General BEDEAU for Rome, says that " the object of his mission is to observe the state of affairs, and, in case of necessity, to take the chief command of the French forces." At the conclusion of the sitting of the Legislative Assembly the following discussion took place on the subject of the bombardment of Rome : The President—M. Versigny wishes to address an in terpt Ration to the Government.—(Oh, oh.) M. Versigny said, that according to the last news from Rome, a considerable breach had been made in the walls, and a battery had been established on that breach. It was said that this battery having been destroyed by the Romans, General Oudinot had resolved to have re• course to extreme means, such as were no longer the habits of civilized nations ; namely, to bombard the city and burn it.—(oh, oh—strong marks of incredulity.) He wished much to learn from the Government that such SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. KIEL, JUNE 28 —A Russian frigate, besides the Skiold, is at this moment cruizing at the mouth of our harbour.

ODILON BARBOT, yesterday afternoon, com municated to the Legislative Assembly the following TELEGRAPHIU DISPATCH. was not the intention of the General, and that it would not authorise him to aim at the horrible celebrity of the King of Naples.—(Loud marks of disapprobation.) The President of the Council—lt is impossible that the Government can thus allow itself to be dragged to the tribune to reply to every fact that may be brought forward. The Government has published all the dis patches which it has received; the dispatches of the Ge neral have alwajs been published immediately on their arrival. It has been asked what we shall do agamist Rome—what means we shall employ, and whether we shall imitate the example of such and such a sovereign. —(Slurmers on the Left.) We think that the conduct of the Government is a sufficient answer to that question, and that the consideration which it has shown towards the foreigners who rule over and oppress Rome— (Loud exclamations on the Left)—sufficiently proved our inten tion in that respect. M. Larange said—ls it possible, then, that the Go vernment can say that it has no reply to give when it is told that Rdme—that the Eternal City is about to be burnt? Do the laurels of Attila prevent the Ministry from sleeping?—(M urmers and laughter.) The Govern ment has directed a brave French army on Rome; by its criminal orders it has violated the constitution ! ("Bravo! bravo!" from the Left, and loud exclamations trom the Right, and cries of "Order! order!") All Europe is now asking itselt whether Rome will he bom barded or not? Let the Government then state what it intends to do—the honour of the country demands that an answer should be given. The President—A Minister has already replied to the interpellation. As no other member demands to speak, the incident is terminated. "On the 30th of June the Roman Constituent Assembly passed a decree in the followirg terms : " The Assembly ceases a defence, which has be come impossible, and remains at its post. It charges the Triumvirate with the execution of the present decree. " At the same time the Commander-in-Chief of the Roman army demanded at seven o'clock a sus pension of hostilities, and announced the speedy arrival at the French head-quarters of a deputation of the Municipality of Rome.' " M. DE COURCELLES announces that this deputa tion had just arrived." The Five per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 86f. 40c. The Moniteur publishes a dispatch from General OUDINOT, dated Santucci, the 26th ult., giving an account of the siege operations up to that date. Two pieces of the enemy's artillery, stationed on the heights of St. Alexis, were silenced by the battery No. 2. On the 241 and 25th the occupation of the bastions was extended and consolidated. It was to be further extended to the right, so as to cut of the communication of the Porta Portese with the Mon tario. On the night of the 24th and the day of the 25th the working at the batteries continued, and the mortars maintained their fire on bastion No. 8. A breach was beginning to be made on bastion No. 9. The loss during those two days was about 30 men hors de combat, of whom two were killed. A letter from Toulon, dated the 29th ult., an , . flounces the arrival there of a steam-boat from Civita Vecchia, with 180 sick and wounded soldiers from the camp of General OUDINOT. The excessive heat was beginning to be severely felt at Rome, and the number of sick was i ncreas i ng. I t was said that General OUDINOT had resol'red to adopt the most energetic measures to bring the affair to a conclusion. The 17th and 50th Regiments of Infantry had been landed at Civita Vecchia on the 25th. The effective force before Rome was calculated at 30,000 men. The As:nod6e sailed from Toulon for Civita Vecchia on the 28th, having in tow a Government tender laden with mortars, howitzers, shells, gunpowder, and cartridges. The Moniteur publishes a protest presented by the foreign consular agents at Rome to General OUDINOT, together with General OUDINOT'S reply, and the letter of M. DE COURCELLES transmitting the docu ment to the Government. The following is the protest of the consuls : BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TFLE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. Juror 3.

The state of siege will be raised at Berlin imme diately after the promulgation of the laws suppressing clubs, and regulating public meetings, and the press. There are, it is said, difficulties attending the con clusion of the Danish negotiation. The Russian Envoy, M.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. GEORGEY has concentrated his forces at Raab, where he has published the following proclama tion :-- " As it is now manifest from the extensive military preparations that the enemy and his adherents are bent upon carrying the war into the heart of the country, to the imminent peril of the Hungarian Republic, and as this baneful conspiracy must be put an end to coute qui coute, I hereby ordain that the town of Raab, with its environs, be provisioried for the term of one year. A Icrutiny will be set on foot after the lapse of eight days, and whoever is found unprovided with the requisite stores will be exiled. As it has further appeared ne• cessury, in the face of so much danger, to reconstruct the defences, in which not an hour is to be lost, I order the appointment of a commission of competent persons to act with the magistracy, whose duty it will be to levy a fortification tax, the proceeds of which will be appro priated to the support of the day labourers.

COWES, JULY 3.—The Baltic and Francis, American barques, which arrived here yesterday from Havannah, ran foul of each other this morning, and both received damage. In Ntirk-lane to day business is dull at previous rates, with larger arrivals. At Amsterdam the home Funds were rather better, but nothing particular was done in. the Foreign &curi tiea. The quotation of Austrian Bonds at Vienna on the 29th ult. was 89k The Austrian flounce department, instead of paying in sp: cie the amount of the coupons drawn, offers a new stock, bearing five per cent. interest, in the propor tion of 250 for every 100 florins. The arrivals of shipping in London continue large, and within the last few days they include vessels from the Continent, the East and West Indies, and North and South America, with valuable cargoes of all kinds of produce. Tne favourable statement made yesterday at the London Dock meeting, and to which we exclusively referred, shows that there hes been greater activity in tcreign trade this year than last, and it would be idle to contend that vessels bring ing freight to this country will go back empty. It is contrary both to reason and exper'ence to believe such assertions, however confidently made, and the Board of Trade returns to June 5, out this morning, will afford the best answer. GREENLAND FibHERY. The West India letters, delivered late yesterday afternoon, notice still extreme dullness in most branches of commerce, but upon the subject of the weather they are more cheerful, rain having fallen rather abundantly at Antigua, Barbadoes, and other places. A statement of the debt of Ireland made up by order of Parliament contains some interesting items. At the period of the union in 1801 the total was 26 841,2191.. and up to 1816 there had been an increase of 80,538,9391. making in 1817 a total of Irish unredeemed debt amounting to 134,602,7691., though stock was cancelled whereby the sum was diminished to 130.561,0371. Since 1817, no separate account has been kept, but the unredeemed debt funded in Ireland on the sth January last was 41,499,2961., being a large appa rent increase since 1817, caused by the voluntary acts of the stockholders in transferring their stock from Eng land, and is totally distinct from additions created by loans raised for the public service. The loans of 8,000,000/. and 2,000,000/. raised in 1847 and 1848, although virtually for the service of Ireland, do not appear iu the public accounts under that head. The gross revenue of Ireiaud in 1817 was 4,384,8161., and sutleqtiently decreased, being as low as 3,199,1281. in 1823. In 1848 it amounted to 4,327.565/. The expen diture of Ireiand wes in 1817, 11,317,6611., leaving the anriunt of 6,932,8451. to be provided by the British Ex chequer, which IL 1847 had to furnish 9,380,6281., to make up the respective deficiency in the revenue of Ire land, compared with its expenditure. This Os certainly not a wholesome state of things, and shows how MUCCI cheaper it might be to govern Ireland well. The Funds are better.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 27th ult., publishes intelligence from Civita Vecchia, on tha faith of letters and verbal communications re ceived from the pa.,sengers on board the post-steamer arrived on the same day. On the 234 the French lost the bastions they had occupied, the breach, and the gate, in consequence of their being attacked by the Romans in front and on the flank. The attack in front was executed under the orders of General ROSELLI. The attack on the flank was directed by GARIBALDI, and was made while the French were effecting their retreat. Other accounts state that the French first attempted to enter the city, where they found formidable barricades supported by a numerous and well• served artillery ; and that it was on their retreat from this attack they lost the above positions_ The loss of the French is stated variously, but asz•erte ion all hands to have been very severe. The result of this action is stated to be the discontinuance of offensive operations, and a suspension of hos tilities. A communication from Marseilles, dated the 29th ultimo, gives the following :—The steam-frigate Montezuma, which:entered Toulon harbour last night, brought us the following advices from Rome, writ ten by a French officer : " CIVITA VECCHIA, JUNE 27.—We have made little or no progress for the last four days. During the 24th and 25th we worked night and day in erecting batteries on the breach, and we h the now three ready to play. Our works are greatly impeded, owing to a continued and well-directed fire from the batteries of the Romans ; indepentiently of which we are greatly annoyed from one of their batteries on Mount Jeniculo, which commands our works. " As far as we are able to see into the town it is bar ricaded in all directions, and well supported by artillery. "I must confess I am not so confident• to-day as I was in my last as to the result of our operations. Enter Rome we must—but we shall require many, many more troops—inlantry, cavalry, and artillery." AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. - The United States mail steamer Hermann, Captain Crab tree, arrived off Cowes this morning with the Ameri can mails. She brings 68 passengers, 15 of whom are for this port ; after landing which she proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Hermann brings one day's later news from New York than brought by the Europa from Boston. The New York papers of the 20th ultimo are filled with intelligence and correspondence from Ca lifornia, brought by the Crescent City from Panama. These accounts represent the supply of gold to be almost inexhaustible ; the market• price being 14f to 15 dollars per ounce. There was a complete glut of manufactured goods. The last telegraphic report from New Orleans mentioned that there was a fair prospect of the orevasse being effectually stopped ; the water in the inundated district having receded considerably. The cholera was disappearing from the Upper Mis sissippi, but had reappeared in the Osago. The last daily report from the city of New York exhi bited a total of forty-one cases and ten deaths. In the New York markets there had been little change. The reaction of a sudden and excessive rise in Stocks was still felt, and prices had again slightly declined. Exchange on London was quoted 8i to 8i pm., with limited sales. For cotton there was a geod in quiry, and the sales amounted to 1,000 bales at full prices. The market was well supplied with flour, and prices were in favour of the buyer. Provisions firm. In freights no alteration. The America's news produced no alteration iu the quotations for produce. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES, TO TIT F; EDITOR OF THE B UN. SlR,—Allow me to express the great pleasure I felt, in common with many others, on reading your admirable article on Hungary and the Hungarians in the last number of your paper. The frequenters of the coffee-room, the card of whose proprietor I enclose, are most anxi,,us to act practically upon your suggestion, and raise a subscription on behalf of tbose noble but rinfoitunate men whose cause you so well advocate. I therefore, on the former's behalf, beg to ask whether any one has been appointed fur the purpose of receiving such subscriptions, or, if not, whether in the meantime you would consent to become the depository for the same. If you do not consider it too much trouble to receive the amount which may be subscribed, perhaps the inser tion of this letter and your answer in the columns of Me Sun would be of some practical service in suggest ing to many the mode by which they could raise and convey their subscriptions in behalf of these brave pa triots, with whose cause so much honest and active sym pathy is felt. I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, HENRY FLETCHER. 2, North-crescent, Bedford-square, 4th, July, 1849. - P.S.

It is but small in amount, viz., l ls. 61.; but this was raised among several that were present, -on my drawing their attention to the article in The Sun I trust to be able to get a little more yet, as every little helps to make a reickle. 5, Barnsbury-place, Islington, July 4, 1849.

It is with deep regret that we thus announce the approaching departure from our shores of one whom we would lain have kept amongst us, who has won i• golden opinions" from all, no less by her private worth than by her transcendent talent, and who stands as the delineator of a certain line of characters, unapproached and unapproachable. She came among us a stranger, she now leaves boats of friends and of admirers, who will no doubt gather to morrow night at the Lyceum to embrace the last op portunity of offering their tribute at the shrine of genius. The performances are for the benefit of Miss Kathleen Fitzw illiaw.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL. „ This being the day fixed by the authorities for tr declaration of the poll, long before twelve o'clock, the hour at which it was supposed the proceedingelwoul have commenced, a dense crowd of people occupied tb,° Guildhall, anxious to witness the cersmony. One o'cloc k ' however, was the hour fixed for the commencement the business, and the multitude congregated in the 11 employed the interval until the authorities and parti t e . ; principally interested in the contest appeared upon tu sl hustings in cracking jokes in little coteries among„ themselves. Some time before the proceedings began t P I galleries on each side of the hall were partially occupies with elegantly-dressed ladies. A convenient space betwee the reporters and the crowd was barricaded off and keg clear by a body of policemen, whi c h was an admiro , u' d arrangement, in that the repre s ent a ti ves o f th e Pre were not incommoded by the pressure of the multitud e. At ten minutes to one o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Finnis, &kb. P returning officer, entered the hall, accomp an ied i several Aldermen, Mr. Secondary Potter, and othero o the civic authorities. Baron Rothschild, accompanied by his mover seconder, also entered the hall, which was a signal Iv' the most hearty cheering for some minutes. Lord John Manners, together with his movei oDd - seconder, made his appearance at the same moment, a n _ 4 . his reception was marked by mingled hissing and eheer" Proclamation having been made, Mr. Sheriff Fusuiis stood forward and said the Sherig, ! did declare and proclaim that u p on cast i ng up the po"' books it appeared the n um b er f or Baron Li onel Nat'l Rothschild, citiz e n o f L on d on, were 6,017 (14°11A cheers)—and for L or d J o h n Mauners—(Hisses an cheers)—citizen of London, there were 2,814 and disapprobation.) The worthy Sheriff then ask for a fair and impartial hearing for every gentletno n who should address them. _ _ Baron Rontscuren stood forward to address 'th e electors, and was received with the most enthusiast cheers. He said—Gentlemen, brother electors of th ° great city, I thank you most sincerely for this receP' tion. I thank you most sincerely for your exertioo * Gentlemen.—(Cheers.) If I wished to express my per sonal feelings on the present occasion, I could not hn" words to do so. We have all been working in a comteets cause.—(Hear, hear.) To you and us all, individual l P thanks are due, and every one individually is satisfied' I am sure, at the results of this election, as I. Se t myself. Gentlemen, we have gained a great victor,'" (Hear, and loud cheers)--and Ido not wish to expre g l so much my great satisfaction at the m a j or i ty, as I de.' the sentiments and at the spirit which were prevaili yesterday among the electors, and among the f r iendsl the cause. Our majority, broth er e l ectors, consists, on, the votes which were given in my favour were vote' given by our political friends, who came forward this occasion as they always do, and by a great many our political opponents. (Cheers.) Their I )° ,: i litical opinions are not changed ; they do oui tome forward to support a Jew, they do no t come forward to support one who differs P" religion from them, but they come forward t" „ support the rights and privileges of the citizens o f Lee; don.—(lmmense cheering.) Gentlemen, I can say, honestly say, that that sentiment was exp resse d to s ' i yesterday in a great many of our polling-booths, on, many votes which, on ordinary o ccas i ons , would hot been given against me, were given in my favour, only support me as the candidate whom you chose at the las' election.—(Cheers.) There is another circumstance n: which I beg to remark, and w hi c h y ou w ill b e so kind as to notice. We have had on our r e gistration 1,7 00 voters who voted for me at the last election erased foes the list of voters; I therefore have had 12,000 net ( voters and 12.000 new supporters, besides a great mad e of my friends who were too sanguine, and who kv° o we should have a very large majority, and who left th a , election to those who wer e m o r e e ag e r and m o r e e arnes t It we had not been so certain of victory I am sure We should have polled eight or ten thousand. Now, with regard to the object of this election. In the advet: tisement which the friends of the Noble Lau' my oppOnent, have inserted in to-day's paper' they come forward "to maintain th e r i g h ts an d Po' vileges of the House of Lords,"—(Disapprobatiote ) Now listen, my triends, we never wish to interfere wit h the rights and privileges of the House of Lords, 1 " respect them, and we know if we do not respect thein they will not respect us.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Therefore, gentlemen, as we wish that the rights ao, privilege of the citizens of London shall be respecte d ' so, gentlemen, will we respect the rights and privilege, of the House of Lords.—(Renewed cheers. A cry 0 "No Bishops," and laughter.) This election, gentle' men, was to prove and to test public opinion.—(Hesri hear.) This election was to see if the opinion which you expressed at the last election was on opinion too precipitately made, or one that you did not wish to confirm. It was, gentlemen,.o° election upon which we should have a great and glorioul demonstraion of public opinion.—(Hear, hear.) Well , lave w e not had that demonstration?—(A responsive s h out , " Yes, and will have again.") We hope not In s oon ; we hope to be able to do without it. We have had that demonstration of public opinion, stwi I am happy in having seen so many Noble Lords 1 1 the City yesterday and the day before, and I hope and trust they will convey to their friends in the House of Lords, and to their relations, the spirit of opinio o which is now so prevalent in this city,—(Loud cheers.) They will then say we have bee° acting constitutionally—(Hear, hear)—that we have done nothing with which any person can find fault. We have only wished to assert our rights and privileges' Now, gentlemen, I am very happy indeed in having thil public opportunity of stating what I stated privatelt to the Noble Lord (Loud John M anners ). .° am happy in having enjoyed his friendship for many years, in knowing him intimately, and I,cao well say a more amiable nobleman and gentleman doe not exist—(Loud cheers)—and I only hope that our friendship may remain the same after this election ---- (Hear, hear)—as it has been till now. He came for" ward to assert the principles of a line of policy which his party think fit to propose. Listen to him; if you don't approve of them that is a different thing; but, 0° you have been kind enough to listen to me, I hope y ou , will do the same to him. Yesterday was a glorious day for us, and I hope and trust we shall have a Macaulay, or some great man who will write it on the noblest Wig! , of th e history of England.—(Cheers.) I am confiden t, . the Noble Lords will pay due attention to this demon: , titration of public opinion. I hope and trust, I shall not have to call upon you again for' some time to claim another and a second denten: 1 , stration of the same sentiments and feelings whie: you have exhibited yesterday and to-day. But, if au should should not be the case, I boldly and firmly say, I intni vidually will not hesitate to use every constitutio ns ' hm:vaen alli my so po m w u e e r h to a a t ec h om ea p r l t i . s_h ( t im he m o e b n j s e e ct c w h h ee ic r h in r :.,: Lint, brother electors, 0 4 know I can rely upon You , 14% ...., 293/4 4 V2 55V 29 ..... 9% 16% 20% 13% 4 1 A 29 12% 10 1 4 30 1 /4 3
