FIRE AT THE. CUSTOM.I-1011SE- PUBLIC INVESTIGATION. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) Yesterday Alderman Darley, J. C. Groves, Esq., and Studdart, Esq., magistrates appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to inquire into all the circumstances connected with the late fire at the Custom-house stores, commenced the performance of their duties. The room at the Cus tom-house in which the investigation was carried on is the Solicitor's office, and every arrangement was made, compatible with its limited extent, to accommodate the press and the public. Amongst the persons present at the inquiry were—Mr. Palgrave, Comptroller of the Customs, Mr. Schovell, the lessee, Captain Lynar (High Sheriff), Mr. Major (barrister for the county Clare), Mr. David Mahony, Solicitor, who took an active part in the inves tigation, Mr. Blacker, Solicitor of Customs, Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Croker, and other leading members of the mercantile interests of Dublin. The first point ruled by the Magistrates prior to com mencing the investigation was to point out to the gentle men reporting for the public press their anxiety not to exclude them from the inquiry. They stated that many evils would arise from a premature publication of the proceedings, and then mentioned that the members of the press should be admitted to take notes, on the distinct understanding that no publication should take place .of any part of the evidence till after the basiness was over. To this arrangement the reporters acceded, and the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. Mr. O'Neill and the other merchants present expressed the greatest anxiety that there should be no publication, as the merchants had not as vet determined on the line of conduct they should adopt. At present, however, they have left the investigation entirely to the Magistrates. Seven witnesses were examined, and the investigation was adjourned until 12 o'clock this day. (From the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday.) Yesterday an investigation—the propriety of which we suggested on Wednesday—into the causes and effects of this dreadful calamity, was commenced before three of the most intelligent of the Police Magistrates. For ob vious reasons, the publication of the particulars which transpire in the progress of these inquiries has been inter dicted until they shall have finally terminated; but with out violating so wholesome and salutary an interdiction, we may be permitted to say, that as far as the investiga tion has gone, not the slightest culpability or negligence attaches to any person, either as a criminal or an inefficient caretaker. On the contrary, it appears that the persons in charge of the stores, and the subordinates in their em ployment, used the most rigorous precautions in guarding against the casualty that has taken place; and all idea of its having been the diabolical work of a lawless incendiary has been quite abandoned. Indeed little doubt is now enter tained that the fire was produced by the natural combustion of some of the inflammable matter contained in the stores, ignited by the extreme heat of the sun acting upon the cast iron of which the main props of the roof was supported. An opinion very prey dent, that the store was constructed with a view to its being fire proof, has been removed by the evidence of an eminent architect, who was examined in the course of yesterday, and who declared that no such plan was contemplated in its erection. We are happy to say that the wines have escaped the devastating element; and that, on the whole, the loss will not be so great in the aggregate as was originally estima.i.d. We are sure that the who'e community would feel gratified, were the Lords of the Treasury to remit to the individuals who held bonded goods in these stores, the duty on the commodities consumed—a boon that, con. aitlering the awful nature of the visitation, I nd the immense loss sustained, we think ought to be conceded. The destiurtion caused is of itself sufficient to the sufferers, without compelling them to pay duly on in , rchand z • which they have totally lost ; and we think public opinion and public sympathy will run the whole extent with us, in our desire that this augers•inn may he aced upon. The batiks, public and private, are behaving in the most liberal manner upon this trying emergency. DUELLING IN FRANCE. A case of much interest lately came on to be tried at the atooz , s of toe Seine, in winch a ch irge of murder committed in a du, I was m C 'arks Leon, a natural sun of ihe Emperor N tpol on. The trial uxcitrd 24 great sensation, arid caused a v•ist number of spectators to be present, amonot whom was a consi Irrable propor. tion of latit,s. The circumstances of the case were as follows : M. Leon dined on the last day of December, in the year 1831, with M. de Rosambert, and met another guest, Captain de Hes-e, a Errglis% officer. After 4inner play was introduced, and M. Leon. always unlucky, was again so unfortunate as to lo•e 18,000 francs. Wroat called on to pay he contended that Al. de Hesse had pledged him self to give his antagonist a revanche, which was only con sistent with the laws of honour applicable to the game. An riflery discussion arose, and M. de He-se published some particulars of the affair, which were prejudicial t, Leon. The difference between them at lrst amounted to such a height that a meeting became inevitable, and on the 24th of February, 1832, the hostile proceeding took place. The result was, that M. de Hesse was mortally w , unded, and died three days afterwards. On the ground M. de Hesse admitted the bravery and strict honour of his antagonist, nevertheless his wife was determined to prosecute. Accordingly, the seconds were summoned, of whom only General Gourgatul and M. May ap ? eared. It was reported that the heirs of M. de Hesse were parties to the proceeding, but this report appears to be altogether destitute of foundation. The well. known General Gourgaud, in his examination, stated that he was a military officer, 47 years of ttge, and then proceeded to give his evidence to the following effect :—I am not able to give any details respecting the circumstances which have given rise to this affair, for I am wholly ignorant of them. My friend, M. Monneval, commissioned by the Emperor Napoleon to superintend the conduct of M. Leon, who was indisposed at the time, requested rue to act for him in this very serious matter. I undertook the duty with regret, for I was well aware of the ties which bound M. Leon to the Emperor, and I was conscious of all that hi. M ijesty had communicated to me on this subject at St. Helena, It was with me a sacred obligation, imposed by gratitude (and here the witness expressed much emotion), not to abandon him at such a moment. M. Dupin, for the prisoner, made a defence, in which he endeavoured to show that his conduct was justified. After some abort deliberation, the jury found M. Leon not guilty, and the court immediately acquitted him. CITY ELECTION. Several Reformers waited upon the Lord Mayor yester day, and requested that his Lordship, as it was so difficult to induce a sufficient number of the City Magistrates to assemble to constitute a Court of Aldermen, would summon a Court of Common Council, in order to save their Wor ships the trouble of assembling to swear in the popular candidate. Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Wire, the Common Councilmen, represented to his Lordship that two ineffec tual attempts having been made to gather together 13 Aldermen (the number necessary for the formation of a Court), the Court of Common Council, who could do the business as satisfactorily as the Upper Court, would readily perform the duty of swearing in the future Member. The Lord Mayor said that he, of course, would attend to the requisition, and summon a Court, if the City Solicitor stated it to be his opinion that the Court of Common Council could act upon the occasion. The City Solicitor was then referred to by Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Wire, but he expressed a doubt of the authority of the Court of Common Council in such a case, and the Court is not to be held. The Lord Mayor, ho wever, issued summonses a third time to his brethren to wtend this day, for the pur pose of swearing in the Hon. C,ndidare, and it is supposed that the disappointm nt will not attain be. repeated. At four o'clock the piling ceased, and Mr. Sheriff Peek stepped fort: and upon the hustings and informed the elec tors 'hat Mr. Crawford would address them. The numbers wete— crawford 4061 Kemble Majority --2073 Mr. Ciatiwiroau then came forward amidst acclama tions. Hie honourable opponent wa , . a dis , inguished member of an association which was accustome , i to calcu l'e probattilities.—( Laughter.) He not know what were the oata upin which the calculation. were made, but be h“ped that t h e mem b ers o f t h e Li t e Assu ral,ce Office, to whi c h Mr. Kern!,le belongeo, were in the habit of going upon better data than those which had produced the present result —(L tughter and cheers.) H should reserve his address to the constituency for the day when the declaration should be made by the Sheriffs, bu. be would state two grounds of probability which occurred to him, as sources from which a return to Parliament might be expected to emanate—there were two roads to successful issue—the one was through the intelligence of the head, the other through the corruption of the belly.— (Great laughter and cheering.) Through the latter he had never attempted to go. Upon his honour as a man. not one farthing had been expended by him in that de grading passage to the representation.—(Loud cheers.) H e had not (as it was complained against him by a Morning Paper, in allusion to his contest for Brighton), even paid for a single glass of wine and water.—(Cheers.) Mr. KEMaLK then came forward and was received with a great deal of applause and laughter and a few hisses. His Hon. Opponent had, be said, stated that he (Mr. Kemble) was a calculator upon probabilities. H e had about the same means of calculating probabilities, ac cording to the insinuation of Mr. Crawford, as Mr. Craw ford bad of ascertaining the contents of the packages in the docks, of which the Hon. Candidate was a Director.— (Cries of " Oh," and laughter and hisses.) He should not think it worth while to notice little election jokes, for he knew that his Hon. Antagonist's insinuation went no further; but he bad been attacked in the newspapers as a stipendiary, and he thought it necessary to contradict so false a statement. It was a source of high gratification to him that the poll-books contained two thousand names in favour of his claims and principles, and he should ,read over those names with infinitely more delight than any book in his library.—(Cbeers and laughter.) His opponent would do his duty as a Member de facto, and he would succeed the Hon. Gentleman, and do his duty as a Member de jure.--(Laughter.) In all probability a dissolution of Parliament would, in twelve months, send them both to the right about, and then the consti tuency would again have the opportunity of deciding between them.—(Laughter, cheers, and hisses.) The meeting was then adjourned. ANNUITY TAX. Mr. Tait has addressed the following letter to the Editor of an Edinburgh paper : Sir,—l wish to be allowed, through the medium of your paper, to explain the reasons which have induced me to submit to imprisonment, rather than pay the annuity or minister's stipend. My reasons are these : The tax was imposed by the Act 1661, and preceding Acts, to raise 19,000 marks, which were to be applied to the main. tenance of only six of the twelve Edinburgh clergymen, whereas a sum very much larger has been collected under the name of annuity, and applied to the maintenance of all the Edinburgh clergymen, and to other purposes. That collection and application of the annuity was illegal up to 1809 ; and was only then made legal (if legal it yet is) by a clause surreptitiously and illegally inserted in an Act of Par. liament, which had been intimated as one for simply extending the royalty of the city. Unless an Act of Parliament fraudu. lently obtained by the clergy can make the annuity, as now collected and applied, legal, the collection and application are still illegal. Altogether, by the annuity, impost, seat.rents, shore-dues at Leith, &c., about 21,0001. are collected, in the name of the church establishment, while only about half that sum is ap. plied to its legitimate purposes. The sum levied upon the citizens of Edinburgh is not only too large, but is unequally levied, and absurdly applied ; 55,000 souls in the extended royalty having 13 churches and 18 ministers, to whom about 9,0001. per annum is paid, while 70,000 souls in that part of Edinburgh which is called the parish of St. Cuthbert, pay no part of the annuity tax, the two clergymen of this parish, and those of the chapels of ease belonging to it, being paid by the heritors, or from the seat rents. The above inequality of the assessment is further aggravated by the exemption of the members of the College of Justice; also by the tax being laid ►,pon shops, &c., as well as dwelling. houses, although the latter are the proper measures of the in. comes of the inhabitants. For these and other reasons detailed in a petition to 'Parlia ment, and a rep ►rt by the committee of inhabitants, the col. lection of the annuity has beet► considered unjust and oppressive. Payment has been refused by the inhabitants ; and when the clergy proceeded to distrait] the goods of the recusants, their proceedings were rendered ineffective by the impossi ility of finding purchasers for the distrained goods. Finding their seizures of the citizens' goods inoperative, the clergy are re. sorting to the extremity of imprisonment Mr. Wilson, pocket , book ►raker, was the first seized on. He, as was publie'y an. nounced, submitted immediately on being imprisoned to the imposition of the clergy, on account of the state of his health. I have been selected as the second victim; and as I have not Mr. Wilson's reason for instant submission to what I conceive injustice and oppression, I have permitted the clergy to im. prison me, and send you this statement from my place of con finement, the gaol, Calton.hill. In reference to St. Peter's name, our Saviour said "Upon this rock I have built my church." It is now seen upon what rock the Edinburgh clergy rest their establishment—the rock on which stands the Calton gaol. Let no man tell me that I ought to petition Parliament for alteration of the law, instead of opposing this passive resist ance of the law. Petitioning has been tried once and again ; and what has been the result ? Why, that the Lord A vocate of Scotland, one of the representatives of our city, and a Mi nister of the Crown, has attempted to sanction the hideous injustice of which we complained by a new Act of Parliament, fixing down the odious annuity tax upon us more firmly than ever, with no amelioration of the injustice except the doing away with the exemption of the College of Justice! I believe there is no hope of redress but from refusal of pay ment until the extremity of imprisonment is resorted to. On that belief I have acted, and I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM TAIT. OLD BAILEY, AuG. 15. SENTENCES. TERMINATION OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION AND REC TIFICATION OF THE LATE " EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKE." The trials of the prisoners named in the Special Commission terminated yesterday. The RECORDER, attended by Aldermen KELLY and WILSON, and other civic authorities, came into the New Court at half. past three, and the prisoners in confinement were ushered into Court. Inquiry was made whether any of them intended to protest against the sentence to be passed upon them. Mr. WONTNER said he was not aware of such intention ; but at all events, the first class which would be called upon would not protest, as they were to be pronounced " discharged," al luding to those prisoners the bills of indictment against whom had been ignored by the Grand Jury, owing to the absence of witnesses upon whose evidence they were previously convicted. The following persons were then called, and discharged by proclamation, viz.— John White Kell, James Harris, Charles Thomas, Bridgett Shader, Charles Cranston, Eliza Simmons, Mary Daley, Han nah Gregory, William Sadler, Peggy Morgan, Henry Evans, Robert Pulley, John Wright, Susannah Foster, James God son, and Henry Stevens. ThP above pruners had been previously convicted, but the Grand Jury had since ignored the re-preferred bills. Catharine Murphy was also classed with them, as no bill had been presented against her. Some of the prisoners above named would, but for the mistake, have been transported fur life, or imprisoned for a long term. The RECORDER addressed them as follows :—Prisoners, you are about to be discharged, but let me tell you that you stand in great peril. Your several prosecutors, if they think proper, .may at any time prefer another bill against you, but whether they will take that step or not, I cannot say. You have been mercifully delivered, and I hope it will operate upon you as a solemn warning throughout the remainder of your lives. You are now all discharged. The following were ordered to be transported for life : Edward Chamberlain, Ann Hill, Richard Wilson, John William M u i r , Ch arlotte Beazley, and William Tuck. BTheitt on ia s , t.named prisoner applied to the Court to order restitu. tion of some property taken from him by the officers. The RECORDER told the convict that prisoners in his situation had forfeited all claim to property. The Sheriffs possessed it, and it would be applied with due discretion. Transported for 14 years.—Wm. Randall, Robert Barrel], William Wirnpster, Joseph Shaw, Samuel Attwood, Mary Thomas, and Thomas Barton. For Seven years.--Andrew Anderson, Richard Darby, Mar. garet Bennett, J ames B i sgrove, Joseph Young, Henry Adams, James Warren, Edward Rainsford, Win. Haywood, Ann Harvey, Abraham Lewi s, H enry Sullivan, and Richard Meek. The following were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, as stated against their respective names : Eighteen months in Newgate (without labour)— George Hutchinson. Three months in the House of Correction—John Jones and John Thomas. Two m onths ditto (without labour)—William Riddle and William Lane. Six weeks ditto --Thomas Loughlin. One month ditto—Harriet Lawn, John Higgs, and Sarah Morris. The RECORDER then, after some emphatic remarks, passed the awful sentence of death upon the following seven unfortu. nate individuals, viz.—Wm. Bitton, John Williams, Win. Cook, John Shaw, and R o b ert G oul i e ( on h i s own confess i o n) for housebreaking and comm i tt i ng larcenies therein ; Daniel Murphey and Wiliamßoyle, for committing a robbery upon a person.—The—The C ourt then adjourned. PROJECTED RAILWAY BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND LEITH. A prospectus has been drawn up by Mr. John Strachan, of Port- Hoptoun, of a railway between the Union Canal Basin, Edinburgh, and the Western Deck at Leith. There cannot be a doubt that such a line of conveyance is de • sirable, and would prove extremely useful both to the mercantile community of the metropolis, and the shipping and commercial interests of the port of Leith. In so far as the practicability of the scheme is concerned, there could be no very serious obstacles to encounter, as the greater part of the ground chalked out is unoccupied with build ings; those that do exit 19,ing of the meanest and leas valuable deaciiption, and could be removed at a trifling expense. The only question regards the accuracy of the calculations of the cst and revenue. In Mr. Strachan's hypothesis, some branches of the returns of profit we should think are overrated, but if he can satisfy the public that the speculation would yield a reasonable per tentage of profit, there would be no difficulty in obtaining share holders. The following is a summary of the project : The proposed line, commencing at the south east side of the Canal Basin, is to run along the north side of West Port and Cowgate, by the south-bank of Canongate into the King's Park, and 0;d Botanic Garden, through the properties of Sir James Montgomery, and the late Baton Norton, and, passing by the west side of Lochend, through the Trinity Hospital grounds, entering Leith Links at tee Golf house, thence crossing Constitution-street, and Kirk gate into Yard Heads ; and thence, by a line chalked out by Mr. Strachan, to the Western Dock at the Naval Yard. Some tunnelling will be required at starting from the Canal Basin, and archings in the intersecting streets in Leith. The whole cost of the undertaking. including purchases of ground, &c., Mr. Strachan calculates at 120,0001., and he estimates the probable revenue at 28 8001. ; thus giving twenty-four per cent. on the capital employed. The projector admits that he is no architect, but states that he has submitted his estimate of cost to individuals of great experience in works of the kind, " who gave it as their opi nion that it far exceeds what will be the actual cost." The chief source of revenue, Mr. Strachan calculates, will arise from passengers on the steam coaches; and he proposes two or three stations for taking up and setting down passengers, both in Edinburgh and Leith. " Supposing 3,000 to pass daily on the average of the year, 2,000 paying 6d., and 1,000 3d. each, the sum arising from this scource alone will be 19,5521. 10s. per annum." He then calculates 5,0001. per annum of feu-duty, on a double row of houses along the whole line ; and the remaining portions of revenue are to be derived from the conveyance of coals, stones, grain, timber, slates, and finer articles of merchandize. —Edinburgh Adver. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Disgusted as we are with the violent and inde cent proceedings of the Bank Proprietary at their late meeting, and disposed to regard them as men beyond the reach of reason or common sense, and to be dealt with only as intolerant and rapacious mono polists, we shall, however, in justice to the Noble Lord whom Mr. Samuel Loyd, and his brother banker (Mr. Abel Smith), attacked in such fierce and foul language, temperately examine the grounds on which they venture to rest their grave and seri ous charges, and then take the liberty of unveiling the real motives by hick these gentlemen are ac tuated. Tne charges are these :- 1. That Lord Althorp stated in the House of Common. that be did not enre.i.fer the leg il tender clause to be par f the bargain with the Bank. notwithstanding his letter to the Bank did represent it a, one of the advan , a 'es in re, 'tun tor which the Bank were required to make certain pecuniary sacr.fiees 2. Ttat the measure respeetina Joint-stock Batik. being withd.ac , n, the benefit arcruine; to the Bank of Enclanti from that measure was lost, while the price which they had rereed to pty for it was exacted. An ~ lastly, that notwi!h.tanding the :ngagemer - to protect them in the enjoyment of their remaining exclusive privileges, they have been deprived of one of the most VA. liable of these privil..ges—v that of preventing the esti tili.hment of joint•stmek banks of deposit in London. With regard to the two first, it is perfectly true that Lord Alt horp, after stat trig the various mensut es proposed for the regulation of the Bank of Englan't and of jolntristock banks, did, in his letter, call the attention of the Directois to the advantages which eettain of these measures, and among them the legal tender," were likely to confer on the Batik. But what said the arectors in reply ? _ . _ "The Court are desirous of confining their observa tions to those points which appear to bear directly upon , he future action and interest of the Bank. " The C nit propose to limit themselves .to two gene :al heats "1. Such of the propositions as immediately affect the public utility of the Bank. "2. The compensation proposed to be required from the Bank for a renewal of their exclusive privileges." Now, in discussing these heats, affecting the interest and utility, and the compensation to be given by the Batik, they pass by, withou. - ob•erva tion, the " legal tender," and " limited liability," having no "desire unnecessarily to intrude their opinions with respect to any general principle which his Majesty's Ministers may think proper to pro pose for a due regulation of the currency of the country." But this is not all :—when the measure for the regulation of joint-stock banks was poq rifled, Lord Althorp immediately wrote to the Go vernor of the Bank : " As it is possible that the Directors of the Bank of England may think, that by thus withdrawing the encouragement which I intended to hold out for the formation of joint-stock banks not of issue, I diminish the advantage which they anticipated from those banks, so much as nut to enable them to afford the repayment to the public of the 120,0001. a year, on which we had agreed, write this note to you that you may consult the Directors at their court to-morrow." •* * " I must admit, that after this alteration, the Bank are quite free to say that they will not consider themselves bound to anything proposed between you and myself, and consequently to decline accepting the terms as they will now stand." The Court of Directors had the wisdom to resolve that they were willing to adhere to the terms, not withstanding the postponement of the clause. Then, with respect to the legal tender, in the correspond ence which has recently taken place, the Court, so far from complaining. of the declaration made by Lord Althorp in the House, that the legal tender was not to be considered part of the bargain with the Bank, never even allude to it; and the two Bank Directors who were present in the House declared that they viewed the measure as one of state policy, in which the public, rather than the Bank, were concerned ; and that, while they re garded it as highly advantageous to the country (which was nonsense, because it is most prejudicial to the country), they considered it as of very little importance to the Bank. The legal tender was proposed as a measure of security not of profit; and there cannot exist the shadow of a ddnbt, that, both by their writing and verbal statements, the Directors produced the impres sion on Lord Alt horp's mind that they at tached no great importance to its adoption, so far as the pecuniary interests of the Bank were con cerned, —that it was a question for Parliament to consider with reference to the country, not with re gard to the Bank, and if Parliament do their du'y to he country they will even now expunge from the B 11 all that relaxes to it. The limited liablity, however, undoubtedly hail a ten !envy to promote the circulation of the Batik of England paper : With abandoned, the bargain ,t as remitted by the Go ver,- ,nent for the reconsideration of the B tilt,. and the Batik adhered to the terms notwiths:anding. Bu' ir would be tt , ele,s to wa ste any further tone in re uting such as thee: they are u,rd `ll"4'lY as a el ;ak to collet-.it the pure anti disinte rested motives of the two" private bankers," aid ice should never have heard one ward of them but tot lie third charg , --, the List and crying grievance, that crime winch Lord Althorp has committed iii 414' to ,' the Bank insidiously enden ivnosteirritriirgig to n een by cla t e u n s d e t i o b e r preven t exclusive: ; P e r s i t l a 7i b l e l g i s e h s m ' of joint-stork banks of deposit. ,‘ We disclaim," said the Bank, " any desire to obtain exclusive privileges which we did not previously possess, lint deprecate any infraction of those privileges by an ex press or implied sanction of banks which could not 131 allowed by Parliament consistently with the Act 39 and 40 George 111., c. 28 ; and in order that the legal view of t ao f clause i ue,,Bseuawlinkhe Bank." may ,hhas 1 e e e more nhastily e learl y prepared u nderstood, by th we e smi enclose r t Now, it so happened that this clause, hastily pre pared,siit,jeet s m o ofraer clear, from d o . : ( a i k e ir l T• tir t e h ly e a l l e te g r al and viw su o b f v t e l r re t the interpretation of the existing statutes, according to the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. What, then, was the course which it became Lord Althorp to adopt? Was it not to call upon the legal advisers of the Government to frame a clause which should distinctly express the meaning of the existing Acts ? " Bat then," exclaims Mr. Samuel Loyd, " where is the case submitted to the law of ficers, and where the opinion ? Is it not proverbial rbe t a case may be so drawn up as to obtain any opinioe that it is wished to have ?" None bur a man blinded by prejudice or passion would have de scended to so paltry an insinuation. Why, the case is this :—Do the Acts of 39 and 40 Geo. 111. and 7 Geo. IV. give the Bank the right to prevent the establishment of joint-stock brooks of deposit ? To which the SelicitoteGeneral and counsel for the Treasury reply—" They give no such power." We have understood frern rood authority, that Sir James Scarlett, counsel to the Bank, concurred in this opinion. For thus pro tecting the rights of the community against the grasping arid rapacious spirit of monopoly, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is assailed with the most scurrilous and virulent abuse ; and by whom ? by Bank proprietors : yea, but by pro prietors who are also private bankers—by men who, not daring to come forth in their own characters, fight their own battle under cover of the Bank charter. To the Bank the question is com paratively of little importance : joint-stock banks of deposit may riot be very aereeeble to them : but to certain private bankers they are hateful. From the epoch of the establishment of such banks they are prepared to date the diminution of their deposits— the decay of their trade; and being utterly unable to find any good—nay, any plausible —argument against their existence, and knowing the general feeling of the public in their faviur, they hail no resource but to endeavour to smother these banks of deposit under the exclusive privileges of the Think of England. In this they have happily failed ; but we trust that they have been more successful in rousing public opinion by their violence; that Par liament will, by a salutary lesson, make them sensi ble of the full extent of their folly, and that they may, in the pathetic language of Mr. Lloyd, be taught, in the bitterness of their sorrow, to "cast a lingering look to the times gone by."—Tinres. The result of the city election affords an unequi vocal manifestation of the firmness with which liberal principles have taken root its the metropolis of the empire, and the vigour with which they grow and expand through seasons of political sun shine or gloom, uninjured by accident, and trium phant over opposition, displaying the irrepressible energies of that freedom of which they are the offspring and defence. We exult not in the victory which has been achieved, as a triumph of one party over another, for we believe the country is sick of party, and disgusted at its extravagant professions and lurile performances. We rejoice at the election of Mr. Crawford under all the circumstances which have attended it, as a decided proof of the sebsr and refi,cting energy with which the constitmetcy of Loudon cm rally round the cause of rai heed and en lightened liberality, without any other motive o animate their zeal than the love of free pritieiplea, and the danger with winch they may lta ; • p,er to be three elite!. Advocating, as we have all along done, those reforms which are to restore and riot destroy the British Coestitortiee, we have ever felt it our ditty to oppose all in roads upon constitutional principle, let t hem be promutt-al by what party they may. There was a rime when the blends of freedom were near being hurried into excesses which would have laid in ruins elite of the noblest and fairest fabrics of civil Itbeity Wile!, the vt odd ever saw. The weapons of reasen ant moral force are the only weapons wit h which, at least et the internal struggles of a civiltz el arid intellectual people, so noble a cause should be as set teL Happily, the moral power of public opinion was strnna , enough to carry the Reform Bill, and the British Censtitution, instead of being laid in ruins by intemperate eft ins no amend its detects, e now, there is the best grounds of believing, be cleared ftom the rubbish of abuses under which it had nearly been buried, and restored to its pristine beauty and excellence, so as to become in practice, as it had long been in theory, the mist glorious contrivance of the political wisdom of mare It is because we believe Mr. Crawford belongs to rha~ class of men whose ambition it would be in Pat merit to work the machinery of the Reform B 11 er such a way as to secure to the country the b'essings of a real Constitutional system that we are glad at its success. He hai not appeared before the electors relying upon extravagant patriotic pretensions and mendicant supplications. The electors have sought him, nor he the elec.ors.This does credit no botleThe discernment which the constituency have exelcised is as remarkable as the unobtrusive worth of the man of their choice. No person can say with the shadow of reason that the triumph of Mr. Crawford is the consequence of any unr fleeting excitement. On the contrary, it is but a few days ago when the ToryJeurnals exulted over the apathy which seemed to prevail in the city of London touching the oleo, tion. What they mistook for apathy was hut see briety of feeling. Beneath that apparent indifference there glowed a deep and intense devotion to the principles of rational liberty. That feeling, directed by reflection, has saved London from the discrOic of surrendering its representation, through disgust or despair, to one who, though in other respec s of unobjectionable character, had made in his merit that he is opposed to the progress of improvement, wich out reference to which the battle of reform would have been a struggle without motive or result. We are among those who entertain the opinion that the first commercial city, not only of the empire, but of the world, should be represented by men of great commercial respectability, know ledge, and experience. It is more necessary thr dn ever it was, in the present state of our COnotnetee, that its interests should be guarded in Parlitre merit by men practically conversant with its come pleated relations, and capable of explaining to others the consequences of measures affeving this great source of our national power and opuleeve, We should always like to see such questions Lie% tided on their own merits, without reference to the person or party by which they may happen to be proposed or supported. If, indeed, commercial knowledge and experience were not to be found combined with sound patriotic principles, we would say choose the patriot who is not a merchant, in pre ference to the merchant who is not a patriot ; for it is better that one interest should want adequate representation than that the whole of the interests of the country should, as far as the electoral buc;y , of London is coticerned, be placed at the dispeed of ervetr rate prejudice . , or political dishonesty. From all that we have heard of Mr. Crawford, we behove ihai he has the talent, Intelligleice, and liberal views Hof public 'Amy which a representative of this gre.s met °pole, ought to possess.
