THE ELECTIONS. ,~;~~« BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. Charles Babbage, Eeq., one of the candidates for the re- 7)::V•c,. -I ,' presentation of this borough, met yesterday evening a nu merous body of the electors, at the Crown Tavern, Clerk.. , enwell.green, to lay before them a statement of his pol . - tical sentiments. Mr. TINDALL, one of the churchwardens, took the chair. Mr. BAB/LICE came forward. On the subject of pledges he would endeavour to make himself understood. He would frankly avow, if he was shown by facts and by clear reasoning that his opinions were wrong, that it would be his duty, as well as his determination, to alter those opinions ; but, as all must know that facts multiplied as knowledge increased, and circumstances and events sud denly arose to endanger fixed opinions, he should wish to reserve to himself the full power of using his reasoning faculties for the promotion of their best interests.— (Cheers.) With respect to the lavish expenditure of Government, it must be reformed, for it pressed hard on the energies of the country. Sinecures must be the first to be abolished, and he considered that the nation might obtain men efficient for the government of the country at less remuneration than at present. The next consideration would be the repeal of those taxes which an economic Go vernment could best spare. The first would be those taxes which impeded knowledge ; for want of knowledee was the source of many evils. The next would b., the repeal of the taxes which bore on the prudence and forethought of the nation. And lastly, those taxes must be removed which prevented addition to the wealth of the c >untry by pressing on its industry. The window and house taxes in particular must be reconsidered, and the first duty wood be, if the resources of the country forbade their total repeal, to equalise their pressure. Of tithes lie should speak as a political iutstion only. The most ob j4ctionable form in paying the clergyman he considered to he the form of tithes—it was not only obnoxious on that account, but it checked the productions of the country. He was also an advocate for a large reform in the Church, and for a complete revision in the ecclesiastical establi•h talent as now constituted. He was unfriendly to sinecures in Church or in State; such he would have abolished, and he would advocate a more equal dis•ribistion of its endow ments. On slavery, he would observe he was fully aware of the difficulties of the question. He wished to decide it rather by his head than his heart, for if it was to he by the later it would he difficult to restrain his feelings. He considered he had a duty to perform both to the slave and to the master; the moment he was shown that eman cipation could be granted without endangering life or property, then he would not hesitate to urge its immediate adoption. As to reform in the law, he was favourable to any well-digested and practicable plan which reduced its present expense and complexity. With respect to India, be considered it was a subject deeply interesting to all concerned in the commerce of the country. The wider the nation traded the more scope was afforded for its products, and he considered the more the Indian territo. ries were civilized the cheaper would be their produce to us, and, as their wants would be greater, the nation would sell more of its manufactures to them. He believed he ha I been misunderstood on the question of triennial Par liaments. He could Lave no serious objection to what he bad always advocated ; the only objection he had was, that he thought it would produce greater expense to the can didate, and if the duration of Parliament was curtailed, some mode should be found to reduce the expense. With 1-gard to a question which, by some, was considered highly important, and by others objected to—the vote by ballot, he would simply say that the eonrse of events was at pre sent leading to its adoption, and he was favourable to it because he thought the evils of vote by ballot less than what would result from the practice of undue influence. Mr BARBAGE afterwards answered several questions which were put to him in a way generally satisfactory to the electors present. SAMUEL FENNING, Secretary.

The policeman stated that at a late hour on Monday night the defendant came up to him, and interfered im. properly, while lie was in the execution of his duty ; and ultimately assaulted him, for which he took him to the station.house. Mr. Gerry, in defence, declared there was not a word of truth in the policeman's sta•ement. The fact was, that his attention was attracted, in Lower Brook-street, by a very peculiar kind of whistle, as if some person was giving a signal, or calling to another, and upon looking to discover from whence it proceeded, he found, to his great surprise, that it came from the policeman himself. As there had been a burglary committed very recently on that beat, he went up to the policeman, and having asked him what he meant by whistling in such a suspicious manner, the policeman desired him to go about his business, and gave him a violent push. At the same moment he (Mr. Gerry) felt his watch drawn from his fob, and perceiving it in the hands of the policeman, he taxed him with the theft, upon which the policeman threw the watch on the ground, and then took him to the station-house, where he made a charge against him of assault. The policeman asserted that Mr. Gerry's watch had been drawn out accidentally in the scuffle. Mr. Gerry, in the most positive manner, declared the policeman himself had drawn it out, and he had stated the same when taken to the station-house. The parishioners did not seem satisfied with the deci sion of the Magistrates, and some of them spoke of bring• ing thluestion before the Court of King's Bench. By Sir A. B. FAULKNER.

The King has been pleased to appoint the Lord Elphinstone, one of the Lords of his Majesty's Bedchamber, in the room of Lord Clinton, deceased. The police sergeant said that Mr. Gerry, when in the station-house, used very low language towards the police generally ; and though he could not positively charge him with being drunk, yet he had beard his wife say he was not sober. He had offered Mr. Gerry his watch several times in the station-house last night, but he would not take it. WHITEHALL, Nov. 9.4. The King has been pleased to present the Rev.

Mr. CONANT—WeII, Mr. Gerry, the evidence is against you ; and, therefore, if you persist in your statement, I must order yo❑ to put in bail.—Most certainly I will put in bail, for my watch shall not be taken from my person without an attempt on my part to punish the of tender.

A correspondent asks whether a Magistrate is not bound to insist on having his warrant, issued in the Kiwi's name, executed? and whether, were the same laxity permitted in all cases as in a recent one, every felony might not be compounded with impunity? Mr. CONANT—Do you mean to say that the policeman took your watch purposely ?—I do, most solemnly. Mr. CONANT-I think such a charge from you is highly discreditable. A policeman is a most unlikely person to commit such an offence, as detection is so much the more certain ; and it is still more unlikely he would have thrown the watch down when you charged bim with the offence?— Ile did not throw it down until I had taxed hem with the theft. Mr. CONANTI will not entertain a charge of this sort. The policeman hears a good character, and I can not believe there is any truth in the charge against him.— I solemnly declare I have spoken the truth. lam a trades man of character, and I think quite as unlikely to state an untruth as a policeman. Mr. CONANT—WeII, you must put in bail. Mr. Gerry having been removed, a communication was made to Mr. Conant, which induced him to direct that Mr. Gerry should be brought in again, upon which he said that, as he had been assured of Mr. Gerry's respecta bility, he should require him to enter into his own re cognizance only. AN AMOUROUS LAMPLIGHTER.-Mrs. Twigg, a having demolished the bonnets and cloatcs or a couple 01 cherry-checked damsels on the previous evening. One of the complainants, a tall strapping young woman, with a considerable share of vulgar beauty, said that Mrs. Twigg, who was an utter stranger to her, pounced upon her and her sister, as they were " valking at the Vest end ;" and, without saying a syllable, commenced tearing and belabouring them, but in particular herself, at a most extraoidinary rate. It was quite impossible for her to divine the cause of Mrs. Twigg's conduct. " She knows the reason sell enough your Worship,' said Mrs. Twigg. " She encouraged my husband to come after her these three years, and since she has lain i❑ lately, he has quite abandoned me and left me without the means of support." " Well, young woman," said Mr. CONANT to the first complainant, " what do you say to the charge of admitting the visits of a married man ? " Complainant—'Tis quite false. I'm a respectable young woman, and never has no men come arter me. CONA NT—Ai e you married? Complainant—No. Mr. CONA NT-But you have lately been brought to bed ?—I have had a little accident of that sort. " Your Warship," said Mrs. Twigg, " though she pre tends to deny that she knows my husband, I have seen them frequently together in the Quadrant. He takes her of an evening to a Free and Easy,' and he is always vi siting her and her sister at a chandler's shop, where they lodge, in the Seven Dials." Mr. CONANT—What is your husband ? Mrs. Twigg— He is a master lamplighter, living in Rose -street, Covent garden. He can afford to give seven guineas for a fine cloak, which he walks about in, while he has only given me 10s. to live upon during the last fortnight. Mr. CONANT, after obtaining a promise that Mrs. Twigg would not adopt the same violent means of redress ing her grievances in future, discharged her upon an apo logy being made to the lamplighter's two ladies. MAR YLEB ONE. IMPORTANT DECISION.—Mr. Greenwell, the Vestry clerk of St. Marylebone parish, appeared upon a summons to show cause why he should not be compelled to pay a penalty of 101. for refusing to exhibit to certain of the rate payers of the parish, up,in application, the minutes of the proceedings at a Vestry meeting. Mr. Lmgham, a rate-payer, called upon Mr. Green well on Wednesday, the 17th of November, and requested to be allowed to see the books containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Vestry at a meeting on the previous Saturday. Mr. Greenwell refused to exhibit the minutes, and this refusal was the ground of the summons. He contended that, by the 31st clause of the new Vestry Act, the Vestry-clerk was compelled to exhibit, at all reason able times, without fee or reward, to any rate-payer, upon application, the original orders and proceedings before the Vestry. The facts of the application hiving been made and re fused were admitted, and the only question to be decided now turned upon the construction of the Act of Par liament. Mr. Greenwell contended that, by the local Acts of Parliament, no order or proceeding of the Vestry could be brought forward in evidence, or was in any degree bind ing or effective, unless confirmed at a subsequent meeting of the Vestry ; in refusing, therefore, to exhibit the mi nutes of proceedings before they were confirmed, he had only done that which he was bound in duty to do. He had never refused to exhibit the minutes of proceedings after they had been confirmed by the Vestry. Mr. Underwood, a Vestryman, stated that it would be extremely inconvenient, and might be productive of great disorder, if all the rate-payers who chose to apply might be permitted to inspect the minutes of the Vestry whilst in a rough state, and before they were properly en• tered in the books, and confirmed. The original resolu tions, as they were moved at the first Vestry meeting, wert, frequently written on loose bits of piper, and were often full of amendments and interlineations, so that it would be almost impossible to distinguish any additions that might be made from the original resolutions approved of by the Vestry. A long discussion took place between several gentlemen of the Vestry and some of the parishioners upon the con struction of the Acts of Parliament, during which it ap peared, from the evidence of the Vestry-clerk's assistant, that a sum of 1,230/. was paid to the Directors and Guardians of the Workhouse, without being sanctioned by a second Vestry meeting. Mr. Hosicxt said that the decision he had come to COFFEE.—.The appearances of a war with• Holland, and the advance in the prices of Colonial Produce in the Dutch Market, occasioned a rise of Is. 6d. a 2s. 6d. on Foreign and East India Coffee ; Ceylon, which sold at 505., realized 545., but the general improvement of the Market was not so much in the other descriptions of Coffee; Sumatra, very ord., sold at 50e. a 51s. 6d., good, 525.

Besides the gentlemen who at a previous meeting had been chose❑ as delegates from the different parishes, there were several influential inhabitants of Westminster present, and the meeting alto gether was of the most respectable kind. Mr. ADCOCK was called to the Chair, and opened the business of the evening by stating, that the tradesmen and other industrious persons, householders of Westminster, had, in common, he believed, with the inhabitants of the rest of the metropolis, felt most grievously the oppressive operation of the assessed taxes ; and, indeed, in the de pressed state of trade these imposts bad become so ex• ceedingly distressing, that it was thought expedient to call a meeting of gentlemen from each parish, who formed themselves into a committee, for the purpose of ascertain ing the general sense of the whole city and liberty upon the subject, so that upon stable grounds resolutions might be founded to forward the object which the aggrieved had in view. The Chairman added, that he was convinced that every merchant and tradesman within the district would join in the efforts of the committee to procure the repeal of those most odious taxes.—•(Cheers.) W. A. BECKETT, Esq., of Golden-square, in moving, the first resolution, went into a detail of the pro gressive increase of taxation of the kind complained of, from the commencement of the reign of George the Third. lie himself now paid less house and window tax for his residence in Golden-square than he did formerly for a house of much less dimensions in Broad-street; and he paid more by many pounds per quarter for his Golden-square residence than was exacted from the inhabitants of the splendid mansions in Portland place.—(Hear.) This system was injurious in its effect upon the middle and working classes.—(Hear.) There was another most unjust thing—namely, that in the country large mansions were taxed only as farm-houses instead of being taxed upon the real amount of rental. The speaker then moved the following resolution :—" That it is the conviction of this meeting that the house and window taxes are in the highest degree oppressive and unjust in their effects upon the middling classes of people, especially those who are engaged in trade and manufactures." Mr. PICKMAN, from St. Anne's parish, seconded the motion, and said the time was now arrived when either by a refusal altogether to pay, or by some other means, the middling and working classes must endeavour to save themselves from this ruinous species of taxation. If this were not done, he could state boldly to the meeting, and he did it with deep regret, that the majority of the houses in St. Anne's parish could not be kept open much longer. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. EwIN, of Jermyn-street, said there was no mer chant or tradesman who did not feel deeply the effects of these taxes, and proposed the following resolution : " That the profits of trade having of late years been so much reduced, the solvent tradesman has, in reality, been living upon his capital, instead of the fair remuneration which he ought to derive from the employment of his labour and capital." The resolution was carried. Mr. BROWN, of St. James's, said that the trader ap peared to be selected more than any other for direct taxa tion, and was driven into the vortex of bankruptcy and ruin; and industry, once the pride of the nation, was now almost paralyzed. Mr. Brown then proceeded to make the following important statement, which was lie tened to with great interest. This statement was pre• pared, the worthy gentleman said, from official docu ments, and bad been obtained at considerable labour and expense. Burlington-house was rated at 1,300/. ; De vonshire-bouse at 1,200/. ; Apsley- house at 1,000/. ; I\ ia t bn 1;1'21., - a. cad. Apsley-house 171 feet (including both frontages in Picca dilly and the Park) ; and Anglesea-house 101 feet. Now the measurement of five consecutive tradesmen's houses, containing only six rooms in each, in Regent-street, formed a frontage altogether of 90 feet, and the total rate of assessment of those five houses was 1,280/ Thus the Marquis of Anglesea was for 101 feet rated at SOU, while five tradesmen who had amongst them only 90 feet frontage were rated at 1,2801. The other noble persons whom he had mentioned were rated in the same degree of compat icon with their humbler neighbours.—(Hear.) Thus the Marquis of Anglesea, The five Tradesmen, for only 90 for 101 feet, is rated at 8410/. feet, are rated at 1,2804 The Duke of Wellington, for The five Tradesmen, for only 90 171 feet, is rated at 1,000/. feet, 1,30/. The Duke of Northumberland, The five Tradesmen, for only 90 for 144 feet, is rated at 1,000/. feet, 1,280/. Thus we have to conclude that the art of simple arith metic is entirely unknown in the present day, or else these questions would be asked : If 90 feet rate at 1,0801., what ought 101 feet ?—The Tax-ga therer's answer is, 800/. If 90 feet rate at 1,080/., what ought 144 feet ?—The Tax-ga therer's answer is, 1,000/. If 90 feet rate at 1,0801., what ought 171 feet ?—The Tax-ga therer's answer is, 1,000/. The speaker concluded by saying, that the taxes of which they complained were inquisitorial, partial, and oppres sive. —(Loud cheering.) The following resolution was then moved and carried :—" That under these circum stances, while pressing necessity compels the most rigid economy, these taxes operate with increased severity and partiality upon traders, forming an overwhelming expense, from which it is impossible to escape, while many persons of independent property reside on the continent and evade them altogether, thus converting them into direct and most oppressive taxes upon the industrious classes." Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting in nearly the same strain as the former speakers, and the following additional resolutions were carried : " That the house-tax was imposed by the Legislature as a war tax, and that therefore its continuance in the 17th year of peace is a grievance as unjust as it is intolerable. " That although this meeting would feel considerable reluctance to adopt any measures which would cause em barrassment to hia Majesty's Government, still they are so convinced that these taxes are injurious in the highest de gree to the trading interests of the whole kingdom, that they feel it their duty to pledge themselves to use every constitutional means in their power, by calling meetings in their respective parishes for the purpose of petitioning for a repeal of burdens which tend to cause dissatisfaction and disaffection. " That previously to convening any future meeting, these resolutions be forthwith presented by a deputation from this meeting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that as Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John Cam Hobhouse have always supported the repeal of these odious taxes, they be invited to accompany the deputation, and to im press upon his Lordship the injustice and inapolicy of his Majesty's Government continuing taxes so unjust and ruinous." Mr. BARBER. BEAUMONT, who came in during the lat ter part of the proceedings, shortly addressed the meeting, strongly urging the adoption of a similar course throughout the kingdom. Mr. ROBERTS, an inhabitant of St. James's, had reason to know that the inhabitants of Westminster were ex tremely anxious to learn the sentiments of their represen tatives upon this subject; but he (Mr. Roberts) could have no doubt that, as Sir J. Hobhouse had already twice introduced a motion in the House of Commons fur the repeal of these taxes, he would still support their abrogation. 3fr. Baowx felt himself authorized to say, in conse. queace of communications which he had had on the sub ject, that Sir J. C. Hobhouse was not only willing to head a deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but would enforce in the proper quarter the views and objects of the electors of Westminster upon this mo mentous subject.—(Great cheering.) Fourteen gentlemen were then named to form the de putation to wait upon Lord Althorp, and thanks having been voted by acclamation to the Chairman, the meeting dissolved at a quarter past 10 o'clock• The Life of Sir DAVID BAIRD," just published, has been prepared from the private papers and correspondence of the Gallant General in the posse , sion of his amiable widow, Lady BAIRD, wh) unreservedly confided them to his eminent biographer, A Mr. MASON moved an amendment to a resolution just proposed, expressive of the approval of Mr. Babbage's principles and pretensions by the meeting, " that the meeting do adjourn." This was put and negatived by a very large majority, and on the original motion being c cr ied, Mr. Babbage returned thanks. and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. the p d e a c y ted a p f p r e i a e r n a d n s ce o f l% of l te f d .— by On the lCi e o x n IN Attwood, st G im il ul A a third candidate, held a meeting at Beardsworth's Reposi tory, to consider the measures proper to be adopted, to insure: his return for this borough. Mr. Muntz having been called to the chair, a resolution was proposed by Mr. B. Hadley, to the effect that Messrs. Attwood and Schule field possess all the qualifications deemed essential by the meeting; that they be recommended to the electors as proper persons to represent the borough; and the meeting pledge itself to use every exertion to secure their return. Mr. Hutton seconded the motion, Lid it being carried, Mr. Attwood presented himself and addressed the meeti t a-oikticai u-:-- t,- ~.1A 1„ that it he were returned to Parliament, he would be un ceasing in his exertions until the right of voting for the borough was extended from four to twenty-four thousand, and until he had accosnplished three of the great objects of the Union—household suffrage, triennial Parliaments, end vote by ballot. The third resolution, relative to the formation of a Committee, was moved by Mr. C. Lewin, and seconded by Mr. Betts: and a vote of thanks being given to the Chairman, the meeting broke up shortly before four o'clock. An active canvass has since been entered upon by the Committee.—Birmingham Gazette, BIRMINGHAM.—A statement appears in our Paper of this day from the committee appointed to promote the el ction of Mr. Horsley Palmer as a representative for this borough. Contrary to the expectation confidently en. tertained that the retirement of Mr. Clarke would lead to a general expression of opinion in favour of Mr. Palmer, it will be seen that the endeavour to effect the contem plated union of parties has proved in vain, and that Mr. Palmer in consequence declines coming forward. In his reply to the deputation bearing the re quisition, Mr. Palmer expressly grounds his refusal on the absence of an open and cordial manifestation of that union of parties which would alone induce him to become a candidate..., Birmingham Gazette. CHELTENHAM.—The Hon. Mr. Ryder, finding the great majority of votes already pledged to Captain Berke. ley, has :declined contesting the representation of Chel, tenham. EDINBURGH.—The Tory Member for Edinhurgh has, in consequence of the alteration in the constituency produced by the Reform Bill, resigned all pretensions to the representation of that city. On Wednesday last Mr. R. A. Dundas addressed an epistolary farewell to his old friends composing the Town Council, that little compact, Conservative body by which be and others of his tamily have long been sent into Parliament. Thus the capital of Scotland is at last relieved from the dominion of the Dundasses. LIVERPOOL.—We learn from the Liverpool Albion that there was on Wednesday last a hole-and-corner meet ing of the Liverpool Conservative Society, for the purpose of bringing forward a second Tory candidate. On this subject the Albion says, " The gentlemen succeeded, in the first instance, i❑ inducing a majority of the meeting to agree in a proposition for the bringing forward a fourth candidate, on Conservative principles,' a proposition which was followed by another, that Sir Howard Douglas should be the man, the meeting afterwards revoked the decision ; and it was finally resolved, by the collective wis dom of the Conservatives, that the nomination of a fourth candidate would be fatal to the re-election of Lord San, don !—How are the mighty fallen ! " POOLE.—The total number of electors now on the e gister for Poole, as revised by the barristers, Messrs. H combe, Bere, and Sewell, is 4 12.—Iiampshire Telegraph. WARWICK.—We understand that during the last week the friends of Mr, W, S. Dugdale have been ac tively engaged in canvassing the electors for the northern division of the county resident in this town sad neigh bourhood, and the result is stated as having far exceeded their most sanguine expectations. In the other parts. of the district the canvass has also been most successful...-. Birmingham Gazette. WARWICK.—A report, says the Coventry Mercury, has been industriously circulated within the last few days, stating that another candidate would be brought forward with Mr. Dugdale, for the northern division of the county. We have nude inquiries and have every read. son to believe that the report is entirely without fe,n,la. tion, and has been propagated with a view to Mr. Dug dale's prejudice. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL sett his residence yesterday, in Whitehall-place, to prosecute his canvass at Oxford, for which city he proposes Intoned a representa tive in the reformed Parliament. Sir CHARLES reached town only on Monday from Oxford, and, alter transacting some indispensable business, returned to that city. Pre viously to his d e parture lie hid an in terview with the Speaker of the House of Commons, at his residence in. St. Stephen's.court. The friends of the Learned Gen tieLnan assert that his election is mire.
