' '~' ) /7/ TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GMNTLIMIN, T HE COUNCILS of his MAJESTY are now committed to Ministers who have ever shown themselves the uncompromising opponents of that measure of justice which was obtained for the people of England by the passing of the Reform Act, and of those ameliorations in our social political institutions, to which we have a right to look as the legitimate consequences of that important measure. The Srst act of that Ministry has been to advise the Dissolution of the Reformed Parliament ; whilst the com position of the Ministry, and the artfully constructed declarations Of their Chief bespeak but too plainly their determination to arrest the progress of political improvement, and revive, as far as may be practicable, the old system of Oligarchical misrule, which they have been accustomed to advocate as the perfection of humane govern- Mew.. Gentlemen--the design of your public enemies—of those who, during a long and unmerited monopoly of office, always perverted the po wers of Government to the advancement of their own inte rests, and the destruction of yours, are still unchanged. It remains to be seen whether you are equally unchanged in your determina tion to assert the supremacy of a nation's happiness over the inte rests of a selfish faction. You declared that determination unequi 'ocally by returning four Reformers to represent you in the late Parliament ; and it becomes you upon the present occasion to show that you adhere to the principles you then so nobly asserted, with an increasing conviction of their value and importance, by acting in a similar spirit and with equal energy. The United Committee for conducting the election of the four Reform Candidates, Messrs. WOOD, GROTE, CRAWFORD, and PATTISON, thereforo earnestly call upon you for tinilivided e xertions on their behalf. Remember that the present is a contest of principle. It is the conflict of the firm and uncompromising spirit of Reform, with the attempted domination of Tory misrule. All the resources of corruption and undue influence will be set in ' , notion to sustain the unholy efforts of the latter : and it rests with You to oppose them, by casting aside all minor differences, and acting conjointly and energetically in support of the sacred principles you have espoused. Thus united, your victory will be certain ; and you Will set a glorious example to other constituencies throughout the countrv—an example worthy of the metropolis of the British empire, (Ind the first commercial city of the world. HENRY KINGSCOTE, Chairman. JOHN TRAVERS, Deputy Chairman. Guildhall Coffee-house, Dec. 30. CITY ELECTION. UNION REFORM COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE for conducting the ELEC TION of Messrs. WOOD, GROTE, CRAWFORD, and I ATTISON, sit daily at the GUILDHALL COFFEE-HOUSE, where all communications may be addressed. HENRY KINGSCOTE, Chairman. JOHN TRAVERS, Deputy Chairman. A General Meeting of the Committee will be held THIS EVENING (Dec. 31), at Six o'clock precisely. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, BY the DISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT an appeal is made to the Constituencies of the Empire on the recent change which, in the exercise of the Royal Prerogative, his Majesty has been pleased to make in the Executive Govern ment, and you are called upon to send Representatives to the House cf Commons in whom you will confide the expression of your opi nions on the momentous questions which will come under the early consideration of the Legislature, and which are now the sources of more intense interest, since the direction of these great measures is confided to a Government hitherto opposed to the principles and views which established their predecessors in the confidence of the country. I profess myself to be of that number who are not pre- Pared to believe that the spirit of Reform can enter into the views of an Administration of which so many of the Members stand distin guished by the opposition which they have shown, not only to the great question of Reform, but to many of the more recent measures designed to improve our civil polity, and which the Reformed Re- Presentation in the House of Commons, under an independent ex ercise of the elective franchise, cannot fail, by well-timed applica tion of its constitutional influence, to confer on the nation. Satisfied that I shall be found to have pursued a course of duty in Parliament consistent with the principles and expectations I held out to you when first I had the honour of receiving your support, I do sot hesitate to solicit again the high distinction of becoming one of your Representatives, and I assure you that, if elected, it will be my earnest endeavour, in time to come, as it has been in time past, to obtain to our country the full benefit of its Reformed Represen tation, by supporting every measure for improving and repairing our institutions in Church and State, which I may believe to be cal culated to confirm and invigorate the Constitution, while, in the Character of a Representative of the first city in the empire, my attention and experience will be directed to the careful cvnsidera tion of every measure that can advance the commercial prosperity of the kingdom, and preserve to the City of London its pre-emi nent position. . . . . . I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful servant, 71, Broad-street, Dec.3o. WILLIAM CRAWFORD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, ADISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT is on the point of being proclaimed, and it becomes my duty again to announce myself as a Candidate for the honour of your suffrages. Two years ago, when I ventured, as an untried man, to solicit this distinguished trust, I deemed it indispensabl e t o l ay before you a concise, but explicit declaration of my political views. The opi nions which I then professed remain unchanged, and I need not here repeat them ; especially as my conduct during two long and laborious Sessions is now on record. To that evidence you will naturally turn, as more conclusive than any professions or promises; and I trust that I shall not be found to have betrayed either the interests of my constituents or the general cause of the people. It was my ambition, in first seeking the honour of representing you, to contribute my humble aid towards the accomplishment of those large practical amendments in Church and State which the "lon so eagerly expected as the legitimate consequences of the Reform Bill. To this object my best efforts in Parliament have been directed, though I am but too well aware how little has yet been done in the career of practical reform, compared with what the Country requires. Should Ibe now re-elected, my labours shall be renewed with unabated zeal to sustain and accelerate our progress towards improved institutions. At this important juncture, it is particularly incumbent on me to ...declare, without reserve, my sentiments in regard to the present alinistry. The men who compose it have been long before the Public, and have furnished the most ample grounds for a decisive estimate of their character and purposes. Judging from the uniform tenor of their past acts - and declarations, from the temper of that oligarchical party on whom they principally lean for support, and from the resistance which they have constantly offered to Reform, both in principle and in detail, I cannot but consider them as un worthy of confidence from the Representatives of the People, and I 'ball, therefore, meet them as a decided opponent in Parliament. am not one of those who think that it is now a matter of little importance, since the passing of the Reform Bill, whether the spirit 41,1 d inclinations of the Executive Gevernment be favourable or un favourable to that measure and to its consequences. If the present Ministry continue in power, the Reformed House of Commons may ?rove an ineffectual safeguard even against new mischief. But however this may turn out, it is at least certain, that all positive amelioration, all extended application of the principles of good go varnment, must be hopeless without the co-operation of a willing Alinistry• A numerous and influential portion of your body, who have formed themselves into an United Committee, for the purpose of returning four Reformers to Parliament, have expressed to me their wish to include my name among the number. Duly appreciating both the honour which their choice confers upon me, and the importance of their determination in regard to the general cause of Reform, I have acceded gladly to this proposition. My cause is now in their hands and in yours; nor shall I take any steps to form a separate Committee for my own individual re-election. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful Servant, Threadneedle-street, Dec. 29, 1834. GEO. GROTE.

No. 13.201. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF GREENWICH. IHAVE been favoured with an invitation to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of representing you on the occasion of the anticipated Dissolution of Parliament. Feeling myself highly flattered by the application, I take the earliest opportunity of submitting to you a declaration of the Poli tical Opinions which I entertain, and of the Principles which shall guide my conduct, should I receive the gratifying distinction of being elected as one of your Representatives. It is for you, Gentlemen, to decide hew far such Principles may coincide with our own, and whether they do so to such an extent, as that in supporting and advocating them with fidelity in Parlia ment, I should represent with justice and accuracy your feelings and your sentiments. To all the institutions of the country I am a firm and decided friend. Of every abuse of those institutions I shall be a determined Reformer. It is because I am friendly to the institutions themselves ; because I believe the general principles on which they are founded to wise and just; intended for the common benefit of the people and well calculated to serve and promote the public interest, that I feel the more • strongly impressed with the necessity of introducing into their origi nal structure, framed in the details to meet the wants of former timcs, such modifications as are reqcired to adapt them to modern necessities, and to meet the altered circumstances of the period in which we now live. It is for the same reason that lam convinced of the policy and propriety of removing with a careful, but at the same time with a bold and unsparing hand, all those evils and cor ruptions which in the lapse of time have become attached to any part of the system of our Constitution, and which I regard as in consistent with its spirit--obstructive of its beneficial operation-- and calculated, if suffered to remain unaltered and unremedied, to endanger the permanent duration of the whole. These are the general views upon which I am prepared to enter on the consideration of every measure of Reform, the discussion and investigation of which, shall occupy the labours of the Legisla ture. I apply them particularly to those questions which affect the Church Establishment. Believing the maintenance of that Establish ment essential to our best interests, I should be an anxious advocate of every measure that can secure its purity and augment its efficiency. Regarding with respect those whose principles lead them to dissent from the doctrines of the Established Church, it would be my de sire cordially to concur in the removal of disadvantages to which the Dissenters are now subjected, and the affording of privileges now denied them, to whatever extent shall upon a full, fair, and temperate consideration, be found to be safely practicable. Personally connected with the commercial and productive classes of the community, I consider their condition and their welfare as among the most essential objects which call for the attention of the Legislature. I should esteem it my chief, my most appropriate and most important duty, to devote my strenuous exertions in every way and on all occasions to secure for these classes, for their wishes, and for their wants, that consideration to which they are entitled. I should be a warm supporter of every plan of financial relief which is consistent with the permanent interests of the State ; and more particularly advocate the repeal of those taxes which press on the industrious classes. Such, Gentlemen, are my principles, and I assure you that these declarations are given with sincerity, and founded upon conviction. When I speak of Reform, Ido not mean Revolution, nor when I speak of caution, do I mean procrastination or delay. In the view which I take of the nature of the connexion between the Constituents and their Representatives, and of the form which that connexion ought to assume, I regard a manly and mutual confidence as an essential and indispensable requi site. While I consider that the Electors, on their part, should fully inform and satisfy themselves of the principles of the Can didates for their suffrages ' my opinion is no less certain that the Representatives should be allowed the liberty of action in apply ing those principles to the different questions which may be ex pected to come before them. Should this privilege be denied, there would be at once an end to that confidence, which is the surest bond of a satisfactory and honourable union. As regards the local interests of your Borough, I shall feel it a duty incumbent on me at all times to support, to the utmost of my ability and power, every measure calculated to improve its welfare and prosperity. . . Perhaps in' concluding, I may be permitted to allude to the cir cumstances of my own connexion with your Borough. Being largely interested, directly and indirectly, in considerable Esta blishments within its limits, I do not, therefore, present myself en tirely as a stranger amongst you, and although it is not on this ground that I solicit the honour of your support, it enables me to offer myself with the more confidence and satisfaction upon the pre sent occasion. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, WOLVERLEY ATTWOOD. Gracechurch-street, London, Dec. 27, 1834. 611 HE MONTHLY REPOSITORY for JA NUARY, price ls. 6d., contains :—.l.

The returns made to the Revising Barristers, at the Courts of Revision for the City of London this year, have been ar ranged, and the result shows a slight decrease in the consti stuency of the City of London, as compared with the numbers of the livery and the inhabitant householders who were entitled .to vote on the election of Members of Parliament for the City on the previous year. The decrease has been wholly among the livery, the number of constituents entitled to vote as inha bitant householders having increased since the revision of 1833. The following are the accurate numbers of the con stituency of the City, according to the revision of the present and of last year:—. 1834. The total number of the livery is 9,272 Ditto of inhabitant householders 9,016 Total number of the constituency of London 18,288 1833. The total number of the livery 9,516 Ditto of the inhabitant householders 8,790 Total number of the constituency in 1833 Showing a decrease this year of only 18 It will be seen by these returns that there has beep an in crease of the number of inhabitant householders entitled to vote for the City Members of 226, and that the numbers of the livery have decreased 244. The total number of persons, liverymen, and inhabitant householders, who voted at the same -election in 1832 was 11,500. ALDERSGATE WARD. A public meeting of the electors of the Ward of Alduisgato was held last night at the Mourning Bush Tavern, St. Mar tin's-le-Grand, to adopt means to secure the return of four reform candidates to represent the city in the next Parliament. The attendance was very numerous. Mr. Deputy MATHEN being unanimously called to the chair, Mr. ALLCOCK moved the first Resolution, expressing the necessity which existed at the present crisis of returning to Parliament persons who sympathized with the wants and feel ings of the people, and who would legislate in accordance with the spirit and intelligence of the age. Mr. GOODYEAR seconded the Resolution. Mr. STACEY moved the second Resolution, as to the only means of carrying the first into effect—namely, " That such candidates only should receive support as were known advo cates of liberal measures." It was in vain, he said, to deny the fact, that there was but one of two courses left them— either to submit to Tory domination, or sink all shades of dif ference amongst themselves, and merge all feelings of private friendship which they may entertain towards any of the oppos ing candidates, Messrs. Ward, Lyall, or Wilson, in the more generous and noble feeling of public good.—( Hear, hear.) In England, where formerly all was competence and happiness, there was now to be found but want and discontent, and this was the work of the party.at present in power.—( Hear, hear.) Now was the time to bestir themselves for the defeat of this obnoxious party. Mr. J. WARD seconded the Resolution. Mr. Saul, moved the third Resolution, expressive of confi dence in three of the present Members, Messrs. Wood. Grote, and Crawford, and giving it as the opinion of the meeting that they should be re-elected, in conjunction with Mr. Pattison. Mr. JAMES WARD seconded the Resolution. Mr. NORRIS moved the fourth Resolution, pledging the meeting to use every means to return four Reform candidates, and at once to choose a committee to carry their object into effect. Mr. ROLLS seconded the Resolution, which, as well as the others, was carried unanimously. In the course of the evening an objection was made to Mr. Crawford, because of his vote on the question relating to the Pension List ; but it was withdrawn on the score of unanimity. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, the Committee was named, and the meeting separated. lb. Loaf. co below —S. —O. 41)s. 48s. 44s 465. 545. 60s —O. —6. 465. 535. 'Os ses. 3::s. Us. 86. ext. Bs.

The great room at White Conduit House, holding about 2,000 persons, was last night filled with electors and others, assembled to express their opinion as to the several candidates. Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley were present. Mr. RUTT being called to the Chair, Mr. SAVAGE said that there was now an opportunity for publicly expressing their opinions as to the candidates for their suffrages—a step rendered the more necessary, from the pro ceedings of the self-constituted " Finsbury Reform Club," who had attempted to hoodwink the electors, by asserting that Mr. Hobhouse was the choice of the borough in conjunction with Mr. Duncombe.—(No, no.) It bad been, therefore, deemed advisable to call this public meeting, in order that the real opinion of the electors at large might be made known. (Cheers.) He then read the letters which had been received from Mr. Hobhouse and Sergeant Spankie, in answer to a communication which had been made to them by the Com mittee to attend the meeting. They are to the following effect " Gentlemen, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and in reply to it I have to state that. I take a totally different view from yourselves of the character and proceedings of the Finsbury Reform Club. With regard to your invitation to attend the meeting this evening at White Con duct House I beg respectfully to decline it, as I consider it a meet ing called by Mr. Wakley's friends exclusively, and as such not competent to come to any public decision as to the candidates who alone ought to stand on the Reform interest of the borough.—l am, Gentlemen, very respectfully, your most obedient servant,N " HERY WILLIAM HOBHOUSE. " To Dr. Epps and others of the Committee." " Gentlemen, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a letter, signed ' John Epps, M.D., 89, Great Russell-street : William Mason, 22, Clerkenwell-green ; James Tupp, King-street, Long-acre ; John Euston, 206, Tottenham-court-road ; Thomas Chapman, 22, Chenies-street ; Thomas Savage, 213, Tottenham court-road,' stating certain proceedings of a self-constituted body, calling themselves The Finsbury Reform Club,' and that a meet ing is to be held at White Conduit House to-morrow evening, the 30th of December, for the purpose of counteracting the proceed ings of the self-elected bodies, and of freely considering the pre tensions of the candidates. lam glad that you, who are respecta ble and independent, have thus early discovered that the clubs must be converted into tools of meddling and officious individuals who have no other object than to gratify their own self-importance, or some other personal end. I should have great pleasure in concur ring in any proceedings calculated to defeat the petty monopoly of influence which the persons composing this pretended Finsbury Reform Club are trying to establish. " I doubt exceedingly, however, whether there can be any meet ing of the kind you propose got together, which cannot at all as sume to speak the sense of the electors of this borough. By no possibility can one hundredth part be expected to attend. It is vain to attempt in this way to set up the resolutions of this partial meeting as the general sense of the constituency. Being of this opinion, I should hesitate to attend, were I free from engagements which prevent me from attending. I am, by appointment, to meet at ten in the evening a number of the electors, who are desirous to promote my return. Without presuming that such meetings can speak more than the sentiments of those present, I have already re ceived such assurances of support as to warrant me bringing for ward my pretensions on the day of nomination, and I confidently believe with success at the poll. In this way it appears to rae tha't the true sense of the numerous constituent of Finsbury can alone be ascertained.—l have the honour t o b e , Gentlemen, with thanks for your communication, your most obedient servant, " R. SPANKIE." Mr. MASON moved the first Resolution, to the effect that the meeting had been called with a view to ascertain, from their public expositions, which two of the candidates were the best men to be elected. Mr. WiiirrLE seconded the Resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. JOHNSON moved the next Resolution, which called upon the candidates to declare their sentiments. Of Mr. Dun combo's re-election there could be no doubt, from the high and universal satisfaction which his Parliamentary conduct had given. —( Loud cheers.) Of the other candidates Mr. Wakley was the only one who merited their suffrages; it would hardly be consistent with the dignity of the electors to re-elect a man who had so betrayed them as Serjeant Spankic, or return a man who had, for his shuffling conduct, been so recently re jected by the Bath electors.—(" We won't have him.") Mr. DUNCOMBH was received with loud cheers. The King had thought proper to deprive them, and the country at large, of their representatives in Parliament.—( Hisses.) Why his Majesty had done so remained to be seen. and must be ac counted for in the new Parliament.—( Hear, hear.) They had heard of a speech of Sir Robert Peel's, delivered at the Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor—(" Ah, the night mare !")—in which the Premier had stated that the people were tired of agitation, of excitement, of the pressure from without—( Oh, oh 1) ; but who were the agitators on this oc casion ? Who was it excited the public mind throughout the country ?—( Hear, hear.) Who, but the miserable faction whom the King had; thought proper to set over the people.— ( Hear, hear.) He would again state that he had not formed, nor would he form, a coalition with, nor express an opinion about, any other candidate. He had over and over again stated his full advocacy of triennial Parliaments, of the vote by ballot, and of an extension of the suffrage.—( Cheers.) Mr. WAKLEY was received with much applause. In the first place he would not only profess himself an advocate for triennial Parliaments, but if they should elect him he would pledge himself unconditionally to return tb franchise into their hands at the end of three years. --k kleers.) Short reckonings made long friends. He would have all the fiscal clogs which now encumbered the franchise done away with ; he was a staunch advocate for the ballot, commutation of tithes, and that every man should have the fullest liberty of conscience ; in short, his most anxious endeavours should be to effect complete civil and religious liberty, and the happiness of his fellow creatures.—(Loudcheers.) _ _ _ Dr. EPPS moved the next Resolution, which declared that a show of hands should be taken far each candidate. The Re solution was seconded. The show of hands being then taken, the result was, the unanimous acceptance of Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley by the whole meeting, with the exception of two persons, who held up their hands for Mr. Hobhouse, and one who declared for Serjeaut Spankie. A Resolution, founded on this show of hands, was then agreed A - 7 / //2 ( / to, and - thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting se parated. Mr. Honnousslast night addressed meetings of electors at the Blue Coat Boy Tavern, City-road ; at the King's Head Tavern, and Georg the Fourth, Islington ; all of which were most numerously and respectably attended. Resolutions, ex pressive of their determination to support Mr. Hobhouse, were unanimously passed at each of the meetings; and committees were formed, consisting of the most influential persons in the neighbourhood. TOWER HAMLETS. Yesterday evening a meeting of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, friends and supporters of Mr. Clay, was held at the Earl Grey Tavern, Mile-end-road, for the purpose of devising measures to secure the re-election of that gentleman as the representative of their borough in the ensuing Parliament. Mr. John Simpson in the chair.• The CHAIRMAN moved the first Resolution : That this meeting, satisfied with the Parliamentary conduct of Wm. Clay, Esq., and his manly and unflinching advocacy of the cause of the people, hereby resolve to give him their hearty and entire support at the approaching election, and bind themselves to use every means to secure his return to Parliament, free of all expense.'' The Resolution wasipassed unanimously. Mr. CLAY, in rising to return thanks, said that he had ever supported the reform of abuses in every department of Church and State; and if he should have the honour of again being returned as their Representative, he should continue to follow the same course which he had chalked out for himself. Ho thought it right, on the present occasion, to refer to the meet ing which had taken place the other day at the City of Lon don Tavern, as considerable obloquy had been cast upon him for the part he took on that occasion. He and his brother Reformers had been accused of disloyalty, because they had not let the Tories alone, when then wished to express their loyalty to the Monarch, by congratulating him on the recent change of his advisers.—( Hear.) Now, he would defy the most red-hot and thorough-paced Tory to be more loyal than himself. The Reformers thought it their duty to meet on that occasion, and show their attachment to the King by letting him know what the City of London really thought of the men who had been so suddenly, and, he would add, so imprudently, called to the helm of affairs.—( Bear, hear.) They were thus testifying their loyalty more surely than if they had abstained from attending the meeting. If they had not done so, it would have been imaginedthat the citizens of kondon "(ere indifferent spectators of the great events which were 11:: tf taking place, and the Tories, ever watchful and on the alert, 'mid immediately have said that the capital city of the empire confided implicitly in a Tory government. He had not the least hesitation in saying, that the loyalty so much boasted of by the signers of the address, was but a spu rious loyalty—such in fact as drove the unhappy Stuarts to their destruction ; and as to the number of the signers— Heaven save the mark I —they all knew, there were a great number of every thing in London. Why, there were ten thousand tailors in London, and it would be very hard indecd if the Tories could nct muster half that number ! However, that meeting bad done great good ; and the result of it will be, that the present Tory member will be turned out, and a Re former elected in his place—( Cheers.) This was not ri hat the getters up of the meeting intended ; but they will find, to their cost, that this will be the only result of their ma noeuvres—( Cheers). After some able speeches from the Rev. Mr. Aspland, Mr. Smallfield, and other gentlemen, committees were appointed for the different districts of the Tower Hamlets, and the meet ing separated. TOWER HAMLETS.--A meeting of the parish of St. George in-the- East was held last night, at the George Tavern, New road, which was most respectably and numerously attended ; when it was unanimously resolved, that notwitkstanding some small shades of opinion among Reformers, they should, at this crisis, all unite in favour of liberal candidates, and that accord ingly the meeting should pledge themselves, each in his indi vidual capacity, to support and forward the return of Dr. Lushington and Mr. Clay, the present liberal and enlightened members. The Resolution was most cordially carried. MARY-LA-BONNE.—Last night the friends of G. A. Young, .Esq., met at the Colosseum Tavern, in the Portland-room, for the purpose of adopting final measures to secure that gen tleman's return as a representative for the borough in the en suing Parliament; various resolutions were moved and adopted, for the securing the same, and Friday next was named for holding a public meeting of the electors of the borough, when Mr. Young will publicly express his sentiments. BOROUGH OF LAMBETH.—Mr. Hope, the returning Officer for the Borough of Lambeth, yesterday evening received the writ for the election of new Members ; and we understand that he has appointed Friday se'nnight for the day of nomina tion, and Monday and Tuesday in the following week for the polling to take place. There is little doubt bat that the late Members, the Right Hon. C. Tennyson and Mr. Hawes, will be again returned by triumphant majorities. This great and influential metropolitan Borough is determined to convince the Tory Administration, that it will only return such members as are pledged to carry on, to the fullest extent, the benefits con ferred by the Reform Bill. IlAomNoToN.—Mr. Laurie reached the Haddington Burghs, on the 23d instant, to canvass on behalf of his uncle Sir Peter Laurie; but finding that Mr. Stuart had gone over the ground four days before Sir Peter's address appeared, and that he had secured a majority of the votes, he deemed it useless to proceed to the poll. Sir Peter Laurie, therefore, will not go to Scotland. Canwsvicn.—We understand that Mr. Angerstein has written to hiragents declining being put in nomination as a candidate at the ensuing election. A very numerous meeting of the electors was assembled last night, to hear the address of Sir John Scott Lillie, who was loudly cheered; and reso lutions were passed unanimously to return him and Mr. Bar nard as representatives for the Borough. tEPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. WAKEFIELD, Dace 29.—1 t has at length been determined that the sitting Members for this district of Yorkshire shall not, in case of a dissolution, resume their seats without a struggle. On Saturday a preliminary meeting was held at Leeds, at which it was determined to call a general meeting of the freeholders and other electors of the Riding at this place to-day, to consider the propriety of calling out the Hon. Edwin Lascelles, fourth son of the Earl of Harewood, to contest the honour of the representation of the Riding with the present Members. About 500 or 600 gentlemen assembled in the Music Saloon in this town, and Sir John Lowther, Batt, was invited to take the Chair. After a few prefatory remarks from the Chairman, it was moved by Sir CHARLES IBBETSON, Bart., seconded by JOHN GOTT, Esq., of Leeds, and resolved unanimously, " That in times like the present, when the King's prerogative and unquestionable right to choose his own Advisers, is so uncon stitutionally assailed, it is incumbent upon all loyal subjects to rally round the throne, and declare their firm determination to uphold his Majesty in the exercise of a function so essentially connected with the liberties of the people." The next Resolution was proposed by Major TERRAND, of Harden Grange; and seconded by GEORGE BANKS, Esq., of Leeds. Mr. BANKS'S address, in seconding the foregoing, was terse and pointed. He has usually been considered a Whig, and, therefore his remarks are entitled to some degree of attention. He said,—After the broad avowal which has been recently made by certain parties of their ultimate intention, I can have no doubt at all but that those intentions are not to renovate (as they state) the Constitution of the country, but, in my opinion, to injure it.—( Cheers ) I am not for a separation of the Church and the State.—( Cheers.) lam aot for annual Par? liaments.—( Hear.) I am not for household Suffrage.—( Hear. ) And as to the vote by ballot, I do not care one farthing about it, for I don't care who knows which way I vote ; and if it is more satisfactory to Englishmen to vote by ballot so as to screen their votes, let them take it—l have no objection ; for my part I care nothing about it. With these views I very heartily second the motion. _ The resolution was passed unanimously. EDMUND DENISON, Esq., of Doncaster, and the Rev. Dr. CORBETT, of Wortley, in very animated and able speeches, proposed the next Resolution. U. BECKETT, Esq., of Leeds, and J. ARMITAGE, Esq., of Milns Bridge House, proposed and seconded the fourth Resolution. On the motion of HENRY TAYLOR, Esq., of Pontefract, seconded by Colonel RAMSDEN, of Halifax, Mr. DErisom was appointed Chairman of the Central Committee to pro mote Mr. Lascelles's return, in case of his acceptance of the requisition. Thanks were voted to Sir JOHN LOWTHER for his services in the Chair, and the business was concluded by the gentle men present signing the requisition, to the number of several hundreds. Another meeting was appointed to be held on Thursday, to receive Mr. Lascelles's answer to the requisition ; but no doubt is entertained that he will comply with the call made upon him. The number of registered voters for the West Riding is 18,0G7, and there are 15 polling places named in the Boundary, Act, some of them 50 miles from the place of election. LORD JOHN SCOTT.—His Lordship left Montagu House (the Duke of Buccleuch's) on Saturday evening, and embarked on board the steam-packet for Leith on his way to visit his noble relations in the north. Lord John made a very interesting tour in the East in company with Viscount In gcstrie (Captain of the Tyne frigate), Colonel Harcourt, Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. Drummond, and the Hon. G. Talbot. They made an excursion to the Holy Land. At Jerusalem they took up their quarters in the house of a German mis sionary, where they remained a week. The party were six days in accomplishing the journey from Tripoli to BAainascus. They proceeded by another rout to Behroot, and thence pro ceeded to Judea. His Lordship went on board the Tyne at Jaffa, and thence went to Malta, where they were twenty-six days under quarantine. Captain Levison Gower left the parts at Corinth while they were en route to Constantinople. INROADS OF THE SEA AT BRIDLINGTON QUAY. —On the 31st of September last year a considerable portion of the jetty between the sea and the cliff on the north side of the harbour at Bridlington Quay, not having been methodically built, was washed away by the force of the tide. Since that period no steps having been taken to prevent a recurrence, on the night of Wednesday last, such was the violence of the waves, that a great inroad was made into the cliff itself ; in consequence of which two elegant mansions are now being taken down, and unless some effectual means are taken, the probability is that the promenade and the row of beautiful houses behind it, will eventually have to be taken down,. to prevent their falling a sacrifice to the waters of the great deep.—Leeds lutelligeneer. impkin and Marshall, Stationers'-ccurt, Ludgato-hill.

The ac count, we understand, is written by a member of one of the most distinguished of these institutions, upwards of two dozen of which come under the writer's notice. It will comprise observations on their effects upon society, with some piquant anecdotes of certain members.—Morning Post. The alterations which had been making. at the Middlesex Hospital by considerably enlarging the wings have been completed. The building has been externally covered with compo, representing stone, and has a very handsome ap pearance. On each of the wings is incribed in bold letters, Enlarged in 1834."
