The triumphant return of the popular candidates, DUNCOMUE and WaKLET, has been immediately followed by the equally triumphant return of five Liberal candidates—RUSSELL, PATTI.. sox, ROTHSCHILD, EVANS, and LusulNGTON— for the twin cities of the metropolis. Nothing could by possibility be more indicative of the ardent love of political reform which animates at this mo ment the vast bulk of the population. The enormous divisions of party, the virtual abdication of the Con servative chieftains, the utter annihilation of the system of protection, the installation in office of those statesmen and their colleagues who have been foremost in aiding in the destruction of constitutional abuses— in carrying through the Houses of Legislature the great measure of Parliamentary Reform, in emanci pating the Catholics, in forwarding the Test and Corporation Act, in sustaining the cau-e of national education, in striving for the prevention of famine in Ireland, in maintaining the necessity of sanitary in novations, and, above all, in assisting Mr. VIL.. 1.1E28, Mr. COBDEN, and Sir ROBERT PEEL in giving freedom to the commerce of the British em -pire—all these things combined have vanquished Toryism and imparted irresistible streng th to its antagonists. Is any t est i mony required of this ? It is afforded in the spirit which is already evinced in th e different metropolit an and prorinciai elections. can And, although the capital of Engl an d scar cely be c alled with so much accuracy as the capital of Franc e, t. the the concentra tion o r embodiment of en tire !re kingdom —it would be frivolous t o deny that the dis position manifested in our metropolis invariably and perceptibly influences the political movements in the provinces. The political rays of the Fren c h d epart . inents and arrondissements are concentrated into one focus through the lens of Paris, they emit one p re . dominant colour through the prism of the Parisian circles. In England the influence of the metropolitan constituency as rather an influence of divergence tha n of concentration. The abilities of the provincialists across the Channel all merge towards the great city en the banks of the Seine. A contrary transmission is visible in our insular territories. Paris is France, because it is the accumulation of all the talents, of all the ardour, of all the antagonism, and of all the civic assiduity of the entire populati on. London cannot be regarded in lik e - - itself all the talent, agitati man ner as comprising within assiduity of the United Ki:, f dardour, ant agon i s m, and Vast as it is in its dimensions, popul ous as it en terprisi ng as it i s , g igantic as are its resources , inexhaustible as i s la its wealth, London is in no er comparable to Paris in this particular —namely, in species of democratic, or rather municipaxierdecispointgisma ov er the general community. Centralisations i not 90 muc h i n vogue w ith ourse l ves as to d elegate to the c apita cif the empire the control over the tuitional destinies. With our neighbours it is otherwise : centralisation is with them the principle, not only of the constitution, but of public opinion into the bargain. In this manner Paris has long continued to be the lawgiver of France. whereas London has invested itself with the loftier dignity, and the lesser responsibility cf guarding the national interests, and of guiding the national movement by its example. Especially is this Shown at the period cf general elections. The deci sion of the metropolitan constituencies affects the decision of a very large majority of the provincial co nstituencies. The conduct pursued by the electors of London becomes contagious. The different boroughs and counties are depressed or elevated, are discouraged or reanimated, according as the polling terminates in London. This fact is indisputable ; it is shown by reference to the Parliamentary Guide Book of the last half century ; and, therefore, are we in a peculiar manner rejoiced at the earnest liberality displayed by our fellow- citizens. Honour ! again we exclaim, to the electors of Lon don and Westminster, as well as to those of Finsbury. By placing Lord Jows RussELL at the very top of the poll the City constituency has afforded the present Government a splendid mark of approbation, and of encouragement in the midst of the enormous difficulties which yet remain to be vanquished. Great as is the ability of the Administration, staunch as is the dis position of each of its members in the maintenance of a liberal and enlightened policy, it required, never theless, some such emphatic approval and encourage ment as that afforded yesterday by the city of London. Not only was the Prime Minister himself returned, but two of his political associates are returned like wise. Not only are these three Liberal candidates ac cepted in the city of London, in the teeth of a most violent opposition, but Sir DE LACY EVANS and Mr. CHARLES LUSHINGYON obtained the majority of the suffrages in the city of Westminster, even when brought into collision with Lord MANDEVILLE and Mr. CHARLES COCHIIANE. While we exult over these preliminary victories, we are nevertheless indignant at the path which has been followed in several of the provincial elections. Bath has disgraced itself in the face of the whole country. The constituency of Bath has rendered itself contemptible in the estimation of every honest-minded politician in the empire, by throwing out such a man as Mr. ROEBUCK, after fifteen years of earnest and honourable service. In those fifteen years Mr. ROEBUCK has elevated him self into the position of one of the most distinguished men in the British Parliament, and in so elevating himself he has elevated his constituency. Hence forth we trust that Mr. ROEBUCK will aspire to the representation of some city less remarkable for its fickleness and ingratitude. He is worthy of a con stituency of mere steadfast principles and of a more elevated character. The intimidation practised upon the Liberal electors of Bath is something absolutely disgraceful, and the libellous nature of many of the Conservative manifestoes has been little creditable to the opponents of the disc.irded candidate. Mr. ROE nucx has at least this consolation, that his honesty has been in no degree compromised. The other elections which have already terminated are duly recorded in our columns, and are in the aggregate most propitious and exhilirating. There is scarcely any topic which can divide the public attention, or obtain a share in the all-absorb ing interest with which the progress of the several elections throughout the country are regarded. A variety of conflicting feelings are excited ; at one moment all is triumph and joyous congratulation for the glorious majorities recorded in favour of the popular candidates and the tried supporters of a Liberal policy—at another, feelings of regret become predominant when we find those who by a long, con sistent, and useful career, had earned golden opinions for themselves, rejected by the constituencies for whom they had laboured with ability and fi lelity, and replaced by others of far inferior qualifications, who could put forward no well-grounded claims to the suffrages of the electors. Hitherto in the excite ment prevailing with respect to the contests in this country, the Irish elections have been comparatively lost sight of, and yet at no former period in the his tory of our sister island have so many extraordinary phenomena been apparent as at the present moment. A. total change appears to have taken place in the feelings of the different parties. We find, in many instances, those who have heretofore been the most ultra-Tories, the supporters of Protestant ascendency in its most oppressive forms, the unflinch ing opponents of Catholic emancipation, of reform and of every other change by which the religion of the vast majority has been tolerated, and freed from the pains and penalties that formerly were inflicted on its professors, and by which their freedom of con science was fettered and restrained, selected by clubs calling themselves Liberal, as the popular candidates, in opposition to those who had ever been their warmest friends, and had effectually exerted themselves for the removal of every disability, and the establishment of a perfect equality for Ireland in every civil, political, and religious privilege. A new class have started into existence. Conservative repealers, independent lushmen, or by whatsoever names they delight to call themselves, are all Tories in disguise, who for a brief period consent to favour the popular delusion; and, being well aware of the utter imprac ticability of the proposition, declare themselves the advocates for a repeal of the legislative union sub sisting between the countries, while, in all other re spects, they maintain and avow their ancient orange propensities, and their scarcely disguised antipathy to the religion of the people, and to every question supported and desired by the popular leaders. The veteran Patriot who so long guided and di rected the fellings of the people has, unfortunately, been removEd. His sagacity and wisdom is sadly wanting at the present crisis to preserve his coun trymen from the folly which they are about to perpetuate, while the most avowed and open ene in:es of the people are suffered to walk over the course and to obtain their seats without a contest; or, still worse, are supported by those whom they desire to trample on and keep down, and with whom they are at variance on every point, in preference to the men who conscientiously differ in one respect only, and who should have earned, by their previous conduct, the undying gratitude of the people, but which is capriciously withheld by the fickle and unstable mul titude. Thus we find the Orange candidates unop posed in that metropolis which for three successive Parliaments had returned the Liberator and a congenial associate. What can have been discovered in the past services of Messrs. GROGAN and GREGORY to disarm the opposition which had previously been offered to their return ? Is it to their fanatical resistance to the increased grant to Maynooth, and the more decent provision for the education of the future pastors of the people, and their more fitting preparation for the discharge of their sacred duties, that they owe their more favourable reception, or is it ascribable to their rabid hostility to the national system of education, or to the fame acquired by Mr. GREGORY for his intro duction of the " celebrated quarter-acre" clause, and that fur providing an emigration fund out of the rates for the relief of the poor in the recent statute.? We can easily conceive how these acts would have enhanced their merits in the eyes of the Tory landlords, and those who de sire to have every possible facility afforded for the enjoyment of their favourite propensity, the clear ance of their estates, and the banishment of the wretched cottiers from their humble holdings ; but how they can be approved of by the metropolitan constituency of Ireland we are at a loss to conceive. Again, the county of Dublin, which from 1826 to 1841, had been represented by Liberals, and in which, after a most arduous contest, two Tories were seated by a t r ifli ng mtaojo r r e it t y u , rn on th t e o he l l d M aste e l m ec b t e io r n s: i is, it is said, a b out without the slightest effort for itslib is er u a n ti n o e n from the thraldom in which it i s placed. It multiply instances; similar result may be dciesscsoaZ ery tdo in various other counties and bo roug h s, %bile the accomplished, the honest, the indefatigable Tiromas Wvsx--the brill t ian e t L a i n h d ere j Secretaryeffectiveora for Ireland,torßicnaan L whose SHELL —h appointment to that high offi ce ought Lc.B recent to have afforded the best proof to his country men of the friendly feelings entertained towards them by her MAJESTY'S Government, and of the auspicious measures that are contemplated for the future benefit of Ireland—are to be opposed with the greatest activity and virulence. Shame, shame to the Irish people if they coutimie to pursue so absurd and insensate a course They will alienate from themselves the respect and regard of all good min. It is not a time when they should be forgetful of all that has been done by England on their behalf during. the season of their adversity, or make an unreasoning hostility to the English con nexion the sole criterion by which the merits and qua lifications of the several candidates is to be tested and estimated. A Letter from Berlin, in a Frankfort journal of the 26th, states that two English missionaries had arrived at Berlin from Cracow, the Austrian authori ties not having permitted them to fix their residence at Cracow, notwithstanding the intercession of the British Ambassador at Vienna, who received for re ply that it was contrary to law to tolerate religious missionaries in any part of the Austrian territories. Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The Gageta denies that there is any truth in the statement that the Minister-at-War had sent a copy of his letter to the King's major-demo to the chiefs of the palace. The KING drives into Madrid every day. The Ministers had left for La Granja, to attend the QUEEN'S levee. According to the Clamor Publico the 25th was the day fixed fur the Carlist outbreak in Navarre and the Basque provinces.

TOR tar N 1 11.40N1)411 4 4 i r- -- .Ririti_V_ EVENING 9 JULY 80, IA4I. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. In the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, the Marquis DE Boissr asked the Minister of Justice whether it was the intention of the Government to institute any inquiry into the charges made by the Courrier Fran cuth rlitti respect to grants of mines in Algeria, made to M. TALABOT. M. HEBERT, the Minister of Jus tice, replied that the inattrr was already before the tribunals of justice, and that he was confident the result would be to exonerate the Government from any reproAch or suspicion. The Débuts, in commenting upon this explanation, says it cannot be complained that it is wanting either in deci,ion or firmness, and asks what more in good faith could be demanded ? The National, however, takes another, and, in our opinion, a more just view of the subject. It says— " M de Boi.sy, yesterday, spoke of the matter in the Chamber of Peers, and M. Hebert, faithful to the strange system which he appears to have adopted in matters of administrative scandal, hastened to declare that the Go vernment diil not judge it necessary to institute an in, quiry. Wha!! one of the members of the Cabinet is gravely compromised! Each day brings new queries re lative to facis incriminating in the highest degree the war department, and )eu think you have a right to remain inactive? We do not live in a time e hen it is permitted to disdain attacks 0 , this kind. What signify your de• vials for the hubtic? Do yon believe that it forgets that the persons whom the Court of Peers jus - visited with chastisement, also repelled with nide, nation the calumny of which the) pretended to be the victims. And if the proceedings at one time turned aside from the true path, had not, thanks to a happy chance, recovered the trace of the truth, would not M. Taste, in his seat of Peer awl judge, be entitled to procl , ;iin in the face of the couittry his inn, cenee, a moineht unacknowledged ? And, besides, were it true that the President of the Council had no need to be justified, it could still he ne• ces,ary, in the interest of the administrate to take the initiative in an in , estigation. May the accusation pass above the head of the old Marshal; we desire it for his military glory, which is ours also. But the matter does not refer to him alone. Have we not heard the names of several of your functionaries pronounced? N. de None, chef de division of Public Works; M. Imbault, of the civil list, M. de Vauchelle, formerly director of the bureaux in Algeria; and is not :AI, ja.labot a deputy? M. no Jett has rejected without examination the plain accuse, tions of the Cow rier ; that was, in fact, an easier task than to prove that that journal had published calumnies. But how can faith be placed in the words of the Minis ter, e hen, in the very discussion which occupies our attention, he is caught in the very act of tellihg a lie ? Of what avail is a certificate of innocence from a man who, keowinely misleading the Chamber of Peers, dares affirm, that in the action brought by MM. Talabet against the Courrier 1 runcais. the proceedings will re caive every possible deveiopment ? What ! MM. Ta:abot prosecute a jourhal ter libel ! by the terms o the law the proof is not admitted ; the proceedings can not even be published ; and M. Hebert, who knows all this, speaks of 'the great development to be given to the case.' A cause, in which the consideration of a Mi nister, the honour of a mem b er of the elective Chamber, the probity of five or six functionaries are concerned, dies away, hushed up in the Correctional Tribunal, and we are gravely told that it is from that that the light is to issue? What is the use of these vain subterfuges ? Why not avow plainly that it is not expedient, to sup port the Eclat of a public trial ? There would be in such a course a certain boldness which, for our part, would probably inspire us with less disgust than the miserable expedients dictated by lying and hyporisy. With reap-et to the Courri , r, as in the ease of the Preg,e, the Minister of Justice might reply, at his risk and peril, that in order to prosecute, it would be nece?ssary to be lieve.' rhe mute ry could have judged, as ithas already done, the value of tnis declaration, but at least the Go vet-taut-int would have been spared the shame of adding culpable denial of justice to the shame of an evident fall-hood." The (Currier FFancuis itself thus briefly comments on the discussion : " We shall say but a word on the discussion which took place yesterday in the Chamber of Peers between the Marquis de Boissy and the Minister of Justice, on the subject of the accu.ations laid by the Courrier Fran cais against the Talabut tlotnpany and the Aoministra two of War. M. He.a,rt.baviog given his assurance that ;he trial should be as compete as possibl, we declare, with Viscount Dubouchage, That we are convinced that the Tribunal of C , rrectional Police, before which proof, are not trinaissible, uill send the Courrier Francais before a jury." The attempts of the police to get up an emeute, as an excuse for letting loose the troops on the people have hitherto happily proved abortive. We are re joked to find that the people attend to the excellent advice given them by the National to remain tran quil, and not afford their enemies an opportunity fur obtaining a victory over them. Our neighbours are beginning to understand the art of working a peace ful agitation. The Count DEJEAN, the new Director-General of the Post-office, has been re-elected as Deputy for Castelnaudary.

A material decline is again to be noted in the vale() of grain in Mark-lane to-day, the arrivals continuing large, and the indisposition to buy as great as ever. There was an important matter under the consi deration of the Caudadian Legislature when the advices per Caledonia were sent over, being no thing less than the question of free-trade. The Colonial Government were prepared to do away with all differential duties existing in favour of Briti4h pro ducts, with the exception of the copyright, and to establish, in lieu thereof, a modified and unitorm tariff for revenue purposes, besides lightening the burdens on shipping. It is mentioned, also, as being the invention of the Government to lighten, as much as possible, the tolls on the St. Lawrence canals. The Goverment is also prepared to give increased facilities to the fuliowing points connected with the commerce of the coun try, vis., to extend the warehousing system in every direction where the requirements of trade and the existence of ports of entry and exports, with the requi site establishment, will permit; to facilitate the transfer of property in warehouse; to simplify the syt,tem of the transport of merchandise, ex-ship, or ex-warehouse, fur exportation without payment of duty; to ligtteu the mode of giving bonds for goods in warehouse, or under guarantee for exportation. The enumeratioE of the usual beads is as tollows: To do away with differential duties in ftvour of British products. To reduce shipping charges 8,0001. a-year. To reduce toils on the canals. To extend the warehousing system. To facilitate the transport and exportation of goods without payment of duty. To situplify the talc rig, of bonds for warehousing. It is not the intention of the Government in any way to depart from the present mode of raising a revenue for the public service, viz., that of Customs ; on the con trary, rather to increase it, to enable it to bear the shipping changes just spoken of, the difference of inte rest on the Quebec loan, and the heavy demands which the immigration this year may be expected to make on the provincial revenues. It is cJnfidently expected, however, that the cost to the consumer will be reduced by throwing open to him the cheapest market. We speak now with reference more particularly to the British products. The Funds, after opening firmly, have given way upon oue or two salcs made, but there is very little doing. Consuls from 88i have fallen to 881 fur pr sent transfer, and from 89i to 88i for Account. Exchequer bills have been Bs. to I Is. premium. New Three-and- Quarter per Cents. are 901 to 91. Consols Scrip has b' en at premium. Money is very scarce, and worth s.x per cent. on Consuls.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) ~amen chum, coachman to Samuel Cohen, Esq., No. 11, Sussex• terrace, Hyde-park, was placed before Mr. Hari wick, charged wuh wilfully damaging a cab, and assaulting Joh❑ Harding, the driver, and also with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. The complainant stated that about half-past eight o'clock this morning, he was driviig his cab along Par liament street, towards the House of Lords. On arriving at the corner of Bridge street, a carriage and pair of horses, driven by the defendant, drove sharply round, and ran foul of witness's cab, knocking down his horse, and brealting.lN.th shafts of his cab. Witness jumped off tne box and ran to his horse, when he beard some one call out, Go on ; it's all right." The de fendant then drove on at a rapid rate slung George street, and up King-street. Witness followed him as fast as he could, and eventually came up with him in Regent-street, just as he was in the act of setting a get - demur down. Witness went up to him and inform^d him of the damage be had done, and asked him for his address. Defendant refused to give it to him, arid he began to flog his horses, in order to get away. Witness laid hold of the horses heads, when the defendant cut At him wi-h his whip three or f ur times, and did all he could to make the horses knock him down. Witness then cal:ed out, " Police," and atter the lapse of a few minutes a constable came to his assistance, and took the d Pendant into custody. Subsequently to his being taken into custody, some person inside the carriage tendered a card to the constable, which he had since ascertained was a false address. Police constable 149 E, said he was on duty in Ox ford -street, about half-past ten o'clock this morning when he heard the cry of " Police" proceed trom Regent street. lie immedistely proceeded to the spot and saw the last witness holding the horses' heath, and the de fendant whipping him and trying to getaway. Witness on being informed of the circumstances of the case, laid hold of the horses, and refused to let the defendant go till he hail give❑ his address. The defendant retused, and threatened to flog him if he did not let his horses alone. Witness still persisted in detaining him, when he struck him across the hands with his whip. Witness i lien sprung his rattle for assistance, and on the arrival ut another constable, the prisoner was taken to the station. Police constable, 81 C, was on duty in Oxford-street, when he heard the noise of a rattle. He proceeded to Regent-street, and saw last witness, who had hold of defendant's horses. The defendant whipped him (the witness) severely across the hands. Witness went to the carriage and asked a lady inside for her address. She told him to ask a gentleman who was on the box. He so; but the coachman told him not to give it. With the assistarce of the other constable witness took , ietendant into custody. The gentleman afterwards gave thin a card, bearing the address of Francis Lyons Price, Parthenon Club, H. gent-street. He had since ascer tained that it was not the right address. In defence, the prisoner called his master, Mr Samuel Cohen, who stated that he was sitting by the side of de fendant on the box, when the accitient took place. The ,ti,binan was on his wrong side of the road, and in en leavouring to get out of the way of his carriage, the norse fell down. He thought nothing more of the mat ter till they arrived in Regent-street, when the defendant camp and laid hold of his bors,s' heads, and bawled out fit the police, who speedily came, and without hearing hat h. - had to say, proceeded to drug the coachman from off his box with the mif,t brutal violence. He had been in wally countries, and must say he never saw such rn unnecessary degree of siolence, even towards the most hardened culprit. As to the card of address that was purely accidental He had a number of cards in his pocket, and he gave that thinking it was his own. slr. HARDWICK, after condemning in strong terms the conduct of the defendant, said that his master was equally as culpable as he was. It was his (Mr. Cohen's) duty, when he saw the cabman's horse knocked down, to have cause his coachman to stop, instead of which he allowed him to drive on in order to escape the law. Even w hen the complainant asked for his card it was IN , . fused, and when the constables came up he sat quiet!) oii the box, and allowed his' coachman to flog thew with his whip. If the card of address had been given in the first instance all the alleged violence of the police would not have taken place. He really could not allow the circumstance of a<saulting the police to pass over, and should tine him 40. i. for the assault on the complainant, 255. for damage done to the ea), and ten days' impri sonment in the House of Correction for assaulting the police. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Gtorge Tunkins, ti journeyman baker, formerly in the employ went of Mr. Andrew Nicholl, 5, Cardigan-place. Buxton Nevr•town, was charged with embezzling va rious sums of money belonging to his master. Mr. Nicholl stated that the prisoner was in his em ployment up to the 13th of Jane, 1846. The prisoner had, up to within a few days of his leaving witness's establishment, been exerting himself most sedulously among his customers in obtaining the moneys due from tnem to witness. Witness bad been a very great sufferer' by the delir.quences of the prisoner, but he would prefer confining inn - melt' to the two bills now produced, viz., one for 11. 3s 7d., and another for 1/. Os. Cid., and which bore the prisoner's receipt. Edward Ball, a police-constable of the N division, and belonging to the detective force, said he had been locking out for the prisoner for the last twelve months. Yesterday he succeeded in capturing him at a low house in the purlieus of Drury-lane. The prisoner reserved what he had to say, and was fully committed for trial. We perceive that Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, takes his benefit to-morrow even ing, which closes the present successful season. Mrs. Nisbett returns from the provinces to give Mr. Webster her support ; and Mr. John Parry assists upon the same occasion. The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Web. star for the manner in which he has so long conducted his establishment, and for the liberal and indefatigable spirit with which, under all circumstances, he has striven to rnaLitain the legitimate drama at the little Haymarket. The good old comedies, which under his e.anagement have been revived, and the very good new comedies, which, by his encouragement and under his direction, have been produced, attest to his desire to serve the drama as a faithful servant, and the public as an equally industrious caterer. We heartily wish Mr. Webster a bumper t0.1324 , 1T0RT evening • and we recom mend all playg oers not to forget one who has so well re membered them. Tne late Charles May, Esq., of Cobham, Berks, has bequeathed 2001. to the Royal B er k s hi re Hospital, and directed his executors to invest 400/. in the Three ppr Cent. Consuls, the interest to be paid on the 21st of December 3 early to such ten poor men and ten p‘ or women who are the oldest inhabitants of the parish of Burghfield, Berks. The whole of his freehold estate, with the residue of his personal property, to be divided into ten equal parts, one share to be given to each of his seven nephews and nieces, one to his sister Catherine May, and two shares to his sister Mrs. Ann Cooper, be sides a specific bequest to her of 4001.; his niece Mrs. Maurice having died beiure the testator, he has lett her share to her husband, the T. Maurice, and her children, and has app-inted his nephew, Mr. W. E. Cooper, and the Rev. T. Maurice, executors. The per sonal estate was valu e d at 10;0004 THE GENE I, ELECTION (THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL. One o'clock was the hour appointed for the official de claration of the pol, but long before that hour the Guildhall was ciowded to exce-s in every part. Shortly after twelve o'clock Ldy John Russell, ac companied by the Countess of Minto, and several other ladies connected with the successful candidates, entered a side gallery, and up9n being recognised by the assem bled multitude were loudly and vig-rously cheered. Shortly after one o'clock Lord John Russell, Mr. Pat tison, Sir G. 'Argent, and Baron Rothschi:d, made their appearance on the platform, accompanied by Jones Loyd, Esq., Abel Smith, Eiq., Sir Moses Montefiore, Alderman Humphcry, and several of their movers and seconders, members of their committees, and numerous other influential supporters and friends of the Liberal cause. The cheering which followed their appearance was most tremendous, and lasted for several minutes. Mr. Freshtield, and the other Conservative candidatPs, and their supporters, were received with various marks of disapprobation. Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS came forward, and stated that, UI on casting up the poll, he found the numbers to be as follows : Lord John Russell . 7,137 James Pattison, Esq. ... 7,030 Baron Lionel de Rothschild 6,792 John Masterman, Esq. 6,722 Sir G. Larpent 6 719 B. C L. Bevan, Esq. ... 5,268 Alderman J..tinson ... 5.069 J. W. Fresh&ld 4,704 8',.. Payne ... ... 513 The announcement of the return of Mr. Masterman, and the numbers of the other Conservative candidates, was received with yells, hisses, hootlngs, and other marks of disapprobation, which lasted for some time. Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS then declared Lord John Rus• sell, James Patiison, Esq., Baron Lionel de Rothschild, and J. Mastertnan, Esq., to be duly returned Members to serve in the ensuing Parliament for the city of London. Lord Jour/ RussELL then stood forward, and was re ceived with tremendous cheering, and waiving of hats and handkerchiefs from the ladies' gallery, which lasted for several minutes; silence having been restored, the Noble Lord proceeded to say—Gentlemen, I will now venture to address you for a few minutes, to return you my thanks for the honour which you have done, not only in electing me again to be returned to Parliament as the Member for the city of London, but also for the eminent distinction which you have conferred upon me, of placing me at the head of the poll.—(Loud cheers.) I consider that your so acting is a great triumph for the principles of the Retorm Act—(Cheers)--for it was said, when that Act was under discussion, that it would be itn- possible for any one to be concerned in carrying on the Government of this great empire and at the same time retain the confidence of large and popular bodies of the constituents. It must be admitted that it was nut possible that such elections should take place, together with such a system of government as was useful for the interests of the country, unless the Member who was thus concerned in the administration of affairs was ready to brave temporary unpopularity upon certain political questions, arid never to shrink from his duty while he thought that he saw the clear path of public interest before him—(Cheers)—neither was it possitsle, it the constituents, making no allowance tor the difficulties of the Government, making no allow ance for tran'ient differences of opinion, should insist that upon all questions their Me-mbsrs should represent their own opinions, and should give effect to those opi nions upon every particular vu e which might have to be given in the Commons House of Parliament. I trust that we may all or us say--I on my part as the Member, you on your part as electors of this great city—that we have not shrunk from that profession of duty which belongs to us upon those great questions affecting the public interests.—(Loud cheers.) I trust teat I may say that in carrying on the business of Par liament, whether I was one of those who was a Member of what was called " the Oppssition," but which was not in effect the Opposition, or whether I was concerned in the government of the country, I have not shrunk from the performance of all my duties. —(Loud cheers.) Whether I were right in the opinions I formed, or whether I were mistaken in my judgment upon particular questions, I trust that no base desire to preserve a vote in the House of Commons contrary to the dictates of my conscience —(Cheers)—no mean feel ing of shrinking tram temp,rary unpopularity, has guided my course while I have been in office.— ; (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have only to give you toy hearty and grateful thanks, not presuming that ail those oho have done me the honour to the amount of 7.000 electors of recording their votes for me, not that I presume to think that each part of my conduct has met with your approbation, but I have to thank you because that, seeing the exigencies of the Government, seeing the difference there is and always must be be tween carrying into effect great principles in the mode in which it seems alone practicable, and conforming in every detail to that which may be the prevailing opinions of the moment, that you have acted with for bearance, with indulgence, and with generous confidence to one who, hose ever unworthy of that confidence, still felt that he was conscientiously performing that which he thought was his duty.—(Tremendous cheering.) In that respect, Gentlemen, this election has been in my person a great triumph for the civil liberty of the coun try.— (Cheers.) In other respects it has been a great triumph fur the commercial liberties of the country, for although, genletnen, with the greatest personal respect and regard tor Mr. Masterman—(Hisses)—l confess that I am disappointed in the fourth return at this election.—(Loud cheers.) Still, Gentlemen, I think, considering what happened in the year 1841, considering the votes which were given in toe last year by Mr. Masterman, considering what has since hap pened in that interval, that it is a great triumph for the principles of commercial liberty that we see the re turn which has now been made.—(Loud cries of " No Masterman"' "We won't have him.") Gentlemen, I believe that all the best statesmen of this day believe that with the progress of commercial freedom is linked the progress of this country in wealth and happiness.— (Loud cheers.) I believe that these principles, of which we have been the advocates, are the true prin ciples for the bsnefit of this country, and I cannot ex pect that there will be any reaction on this sub ject.—(Cheters ) I expect that the Parliament which is as out to be elected will confirm those laws which were enacted in the late Parliament, the doing away with the duties upon corn---(Cheers)— and the deferential duties upon sugar—(Loud cheers) :end by that means allowing the people of Eng land all the advantages which are to he obtained by the free competition with the other nations of the odd. And can any of us doubt that that there is in die midst of this great metropolis, in the midst of a metro. polls that has risen to a size, and wealth, and prosperity, which I believe to be unt xample d in the history of the globe—(Loud cheers)—con I have any doubt that in that competition with other nations—(At this moment Mr. Masterman made his appearance on the p;atform, which produced the greatest uproar and con fusion. Order having "been in some measure restored) — The Noble Lord resumed, " Can I' doubt, Gentlemen, 'hat thss great country, with the commerce and weans to which it has arisen—with this metropolis as the sign slid symbol of that prosperity —will he able to equal, to surpass, perhaps to distance all the other nations of the globe in that rsce of free competitien.—(Loud cheers.) Having expressed in the absence of Mr. Masterman my personal regard for him, let me add here, that I was rejoiced to find that in the great contest of the last year in that suc cessful attempt to free corn and other articles from the heavy and injurious duties imposed upon them, that Mr. Masterman was one of those who voted for tt.e repeal of those duties.—(Cheers and laughter.) Such, Gentlemen, is the progress we have made in the. course of six years in the great question of commercial freedom. (Cheers.) And now I will touch upon another subjecr, connected with which the present return Is no less a triumph--s triumph of the principl e of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers;) I am happy to say that, although the progress has not been so quick, _although the progress of the nation in the principles of reli g ious freedom has not been so rapid as that to which I; have already adverted, yet, if we look back some hasty years, and consider that then religious intolerance was in its prime and vigour —that in that cause " Ni) Popery" had raise d a powerful and predominant cry against those who differed from ourselves upon religious sub jects, but that the day was now come when the disabilities which affected the Protestants Dissenters, when the disabilities which affected the r Roman Catholics having been removed, that the day is now come when you have declared, by the election of Baron Rothschild, that the day has now arrived for the removal of the last vestiges of religious intolerance— (Cheers)—and that hereafter the privilege of a free public of this United Kingdom —the privilege to serve the Crown —the privilege to represent the people in Parliament, are to be enjoyed by all the subjects of her Majesty, without dis tinction of religious persuasions.—(Loud cheers.) Can I doubt that ouch a decision on the part of the elec tors of the city of London will have its weight, its great weight, I should say its prevailieg weight—(Loud cheers)—and that we shall see that the next Parliament will have the glory of establishing and proclaiming at once the completion of the great social edifice of civil, com mercial, and religious freedom.—(Tremendous cheering.) Gentlemen, I have said in an early part of what I have addressed to you that I had to thank you for the election and liberal confidence with which you have entrusted me, a Minister of the Crown, with the duties of your representative.—(Loud cheers.) I con sider that it would be inconsistent with that con fidence—it would be inconsistent with those duties—if I now attempt to sketch out to you what would be my course in the ensuing Parliament., so long as I think that my advice to the Sovereign may be a benefit to the people of the United Kingdom, I shall endeavour to discharge that duty to the best of my power and abilities.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded amid• t loud cheess, by say ing teat he took .leave of them, giving them again his grateful thanks, and the expressing his ardent wishes, for the prosperity, the liberty, and the continued wealth of that great city. The other candidates then addressed the electors. Their addresses will be given fully in our Third Edition. WESTMINSTER—(THIS DAY.) DECLARATION OF TIIE POLL.
