Nothing whatever can now justify the Liberal electors of the United Kingd-m in procrastination The time of preparation has departed—the time of action has arrived. Electioneering addresses from the different candidates have been already transmitted to the principal constituencies. It, therefore, devolves . _ upon the possessors of the franchise to di-criminate between the qualifications of those candidates, and to proclaim their choice at the withhustings and the polling promptitude, a with -----".'aP— booths with independence, an It has seldom fallen to our lot to notice a more un unanimity.

Among the Liberals of the Metropolitan constitu encies we are rejoiced to see an unmistakable sign of the revival of confidence and co-operation. So con spicuously is this manifested in the CITY OF LONDON itself, that there is no very dim prospect of the re turn of the four popular candidates—Lord J. Rus- SELL, Sir G. LAEPENT, Baron L. ROTHSCHILD, and Mr. J. PATTISON. With a continuance of the exer tions which have been already commenced there can be no reasonable doubt as to their triumphant return, when brought into comparison with such impracti cable politicians as Mr. MASTERMAN, Alderman JOHNSON, Mr. BEVAN, and Mr. FRESHFIELD. As to the canvass adventured upon by Mr. W. PAYNE, the respected Coroner, we cannot but regard it as ill-advised, considering how the Liberal ground is occupied. With reference to Fibisacat, it is impossible to have the shadow of a hesitation, knowing that those champions of the people —THOMAS SLINGSBY DIINCOMBE and THOMAS VVAKLEY—appeal as usual for the confidence of the electors. Their enthusiastic return is a sort of electioneering matter-of-course. For the representa tion of LAMBETH both the recent Members—Mr. BENJAMIN HAWKS and the Right Hen. C. T. D'Evrt- COURT—have been found most serviceable in the promotion of the Liberal interests. The rejection, consequently, of either of these tried candidates would be a species of ingratitude on the part of the constituents ; and this we maintain with every possible good feeling towards Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor. Whether the latter gentleman be discomfited or not, we are satisfied that the common sense and the patriotic ardour of the Lambeth electors will ensure an abundance of votes to Mr. IlswEs. Of the predominance of Liberal sentiments in AlsitaLsitorua we are likewise satisfied. The ap pearance or non-appearance of a Conservative candi date in the person of Sir J. HAMILTON cannot, assuredly, affect a borough which was recently not satisfied with men less earnest in their political and religious liberality than Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Sir BENJAMIN HALL. The employment of the hero of Acre on the element upon which he has gained for himself immortality has deprived the Marylebone constituency of one zealous and un flinching representative. Sir BENJAMIN HALL, how ever, is still before them, and the consistency of his character has been long proved to them by personal experience. Let not the electors of MARYLEBONE be discouraged by the recusancy of any man whatever. It is immeasurably better for electors to detect the absence of every honourable principle in the heart of a candidate at an early period of the contest than after they have been deluded into award ing him a seat in the Commons. The only question, therefore, yet remaining to be decided in this me tropolitan constituency is as to the superior qualifi cations of Mr. Sergeant SHER or Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART. Both candidates are characterised by a meritorious sincerity, both are eminent by their exertions and abilities, one as a forensic advocate, the other as an unaffected philanthopLit. In WESTMINSTER Mr. JOHN TEMPLE LEADER re tires into an inglorious privacy, after proving to his cog that " absence does not make the heart grow fonder." The two Liberal candidates, therefore, Sir DR LACY EVANS and Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, stand be fore the electors unopposed, unless the abrupt ad dress of Lord MANDEYILLE and the babble of a troubadour, can be dignified with the title of opposi tion. As to SOUTHWARK, the conduct of Sir W. MOLESWORTH and of Alderman HUMPHERY since the period of their last election has ensured them a victory almost as brilliant as that which is awaiting the Tribunes of Finsbury. The late representatives of the TOWER HAMLETS—Sir W. CLAY and Colonel C. R. Fox—both staunch participators in the popu lar movement—are brought into collision with Mr. G. THOMPSON, the eloquent advocate of the deposed Rajaof SATTARA, and Mr. A. K. HurcnlsoN, who has already tasted the bitterness of defeat in the same constituency. We would suggest to the possessors of the franchise in the Tower Hamlets that, as one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so two tried men are better than two untried favourites. Such is the propitious stspect of electioneering matters amnng the metropolitan constituencies—constituencies which, if only true to themselves by continuing, as now, com bined in their enthusiasm, must return sixteen strenuous supporters of liberal principles to the new Parliament at Westminster. Next in importance to the boroughs immediately in the vicinity of the Capital are, unquestionably two of comparative insignificance as to the numerical strength of the electors, but of enormous considera tion from the men they have hitherto selected as their representatives—we mean TAMWORTR and STOCKPORT. Unless the constituents of Tamworth are still possessed by the evil spirit of Protection, the return of Sir ROBERT PEEL will be a mag nificent vindication of his consistency ; and, unless the constituents of Stockport are afflicted with some sudden or incomprehensible hallucination, RICHARD COBDEN will not so much obtain a majority as an ovation. Among the principal manufacturing cities, MAN CHESTER will lose the services of Mr. MARY PHILIPS by his retirement, but will select a distinguished col league to the Right Hon. MILNER GIBSON, in the person of JOHN BRIGHT. In consequence of the withdrawal of its recent Members, LIVERPOOL is threatened by the advent of Lord JOHN MANNERS as a candidate of Conservative and anti free•trade principles. If the Liverpool constituents car, swallow Lord JOHN MANNERS and his anti free-trade Conservatism, they will be unwortim to receive the Liberal Sir THOMAS BERNARD BIRCH ; and if the Glasgow constituents do nut return the Lord Provost HASTIE and Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR, the eminent Secretary to the Board of Trade, they will disappoint the expectations of the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom. Such, therefore, is the position of the popular candidates in the three great capitals of our insular commerce. In the metropolitan constituencies, in the consti tuencies of the Free-trade Orator, and the Free trade ex-Prime Minister, in the three greatest com mercial constituencies of the British islands, every thin g proclaims to the Liberal electors—" Courage ! Onv‘ards! and the victory is already achieved !" LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1847. put forward, it is right that the real facts of the case should be simply stated, in order that the public might judge the degree of credence to which twenty-three gentlemen of property, selected from the most re spectable inhabitants of the county, and forming its grand inquest, are entitled. _ _ When towards the close of the last session of Parliament the existence of the mysterious disease, the sad calamity which involved Ireland in such misery and wretchedness, became known, although its full extent could not then be even guessed at, the Ministry, with the most praiseworthy promptitude and decision, brought forward and ob tained the legislative sanction to a measure by which the Lord-Lieutenant was authorised to appoint special sessions to be held in any district where distress existed. These sessions were enabled to approve of, and to pass presentments for such public works, as might appear to be of local or national utility, and the money required to carry the same into execution was to be provided by the national exchequer ; but the whole of these advances were to be charged upon the several districts, and to be repaid by instalments, spread over a period of ten years. Fortunately it was provided that the works so presented for should receive the sanction of the Board of Works before they should be commenced. It was distinctly and clearly expressed, that every shilling of the expenditure should be provided for, and ultimately defrayed by the property in the districts, and stringent provisions were inserted for the sum mary sale of the property of defaulters. Not the slightest hope or expectation was held out that any portion thereof would be remitted or borne by the State. It is almost unnecessary to say, in how different a spirit that statute (the Labour-rate Act) was acted on from that contemplated by the Legislature. It was immediately regarded as the sole means by which the able-bodied labourers of the country were to be supported. Private individuals suspended the undertakings they had previously been carrying on. Labourers were discharged who had usually received permanent employment ; that which was intended as, and would have proved a most valuable auxiliary was, in a great degree, de prived of its efficiency and value by being made the only means. A general congratulation ran through the country because no limitation was placed on the amount to be provided. Every proposition was hailed with boisterous acclamation, and carried without a semblance of opposition, the slightest vestige of which was at once over whelmed by clamour, violence, and every species of intimidation. A day of reckoning was wholly for gotten in the joy and exultation of getting English money into the country. In some districts present ments were passed to the extent of five or six times the annual value of the property out of which the advances therefor were to be repaid. The Board of Works happily pared down and reduced this wanton extravagance to the utmost limits ; but still, when 760,000 able-bodied labourers were driven to road making, as the only way of obtaining a means of live lihood in the absence of their usual mode of employ ment, a large expenditure was unavoidable. After a time the landlords began to find out that it would be much pleasanter for themselves if that labour was employed on their lands—if they were to be drained, cultivated, and cropped by the nation, while they stood by with folded arms and reaped all the benefit. This was, of course, too absurd ; but the late estimable Lord-Lieutenant, anxious to take away the slightest ground of complaint, on his respon sibility and trusting to a Parliamentary indemnity, enabled presentments to be made for the improvement of private property, whereon the owner undertook to repay the entire amount of these presentments. This, however, did not suit the gentlemen complaining, who wished to get everything without any return. It is well known how few availed themselves of the privilege thus accorded, or made application for presentments. On the meeting of Parliament, when detailing the un fortunate manner in which the tabour-rate had been carried into execution, and the enormous expenditure in consequence, the Secretary for Ireland stated that to a certain extent the Irish famine should be regarded as a national calamity, and that the Mi nistry had therefore decided on recommending the T.peislature to remit one-half the amount, and only to charge the remaining moiety on the several dis tricts; and this is the declaration that is now at tempted to be tortured into a totally different meaning by the veracious grand jury of the county of Clare. We regret to find that any Irish gentleman can be found to act in such a manner as to justify an unwil lingness in this country again to interfere in their behalf, or to make advances which the recipients of their bounty are so unwilling to repay. The debate on the Sonderhund, or Catholic League, was resumed at Berne on the 20,h, at nine in the morning, and lasted with great animation till six in the evening. The Liberal party obtained the ma jority. It was resolved by 42 states and two half states—first, to declare the Sonderhund dissolved—. and secondly, that this decision shall be obligatory on the Cantons of the League. The Cantons which voted in favour of these resolutions were Zurich Soleure, Schaffhousen, Argau, Tessino, Genevit, Vaud, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell-Interior, Bale- Country, Glaris, and Berne. St. Gall and the C-ri sons, which had reserved their decisions, also gave their assent. Lucerne, the Valais, and Zug inserted a protest on the minutes. We learn from Rome that Cardinal FERETTI, the PorE's new Secretary of ;•tate, arrived there on the 14th Mgr. RuscoNt is nominated Under-Secretary ut State in the room of M. CORBOLI Bnsst. Prince Rosricuost is made Commander-in Chief of the National Guard of Rome. Prince ORSINI is con firmed as senator. On the 11th there was another marked demonstration of the popular feeling, on the occasion of transporting the statue of Pius IX. to the Piazza del Polopo, where it is to be erected. The enthusiasm was even greater than on the anni versary of the accession. A letter from Rome, dated the 18th, says—" There is a most extraordinary report current at Rome which has excited great agitation. It states nothing less than the discovery of a conspiracy, at the head of which was a Cardinal held in great suspicion by the people. I dare not mention the projects attributed to the conspirators until they are in some degree officially made public. It is affirmed that at this moment several great personages are being arrested, and that they will be sent in the course of the day to the Castle of St. Angelo." Intelligence from Lisbon to the 19th, and from uporto to the 21st, has been received by the Penin ,ular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, which arrived this morning at Southampton. The Algarve battalion of Queen's troops have been behavin in such an outrageous manner to the officers of DAs AtiTAS, who were released from Fort St. Julian on the 10th, that the British Minister has called upon the QUEEN to have the Algarve Battalion instantly removed from the capital. b L i i N sb A o s l , w T h h o e yplawc ereplaced a met o at n h t o h f e A part of S ALDANHA ' S army h ave re t urne d t o way e by tn hien gcolours of the - regiment.

The Gageta states that the documents published by the Faro (the Afrancesado organ), purporting to be the correspondence between Senor I'ACHECO and Mr. BULWER, on the affairs of Portugal, are forgeries ; and that the real correspondence will be published officially in a few days. The Heraldo states that General ALZAA, who was arrested at Bayonne, was the bearer of orders to General VILLAREAL, the Carlist Commander-in-Chief in Navarre, to take measures to strike an immediate blow. The Captain-General of Catalonia, General PAVIA, defeated a Carlist band at Torre del Espanol on the 11th, and took one of their commanders pri soner. In Burgos, Toledo, and Gerona the Queen's troops have likewise succeeded in slispersing various Carlist bands. The QUEEN has left Madrid for La Granja, and the KING has arrived in the capital. Their MAJESTIES did not meet, and it is said that General CORDOVA has waited on the KING from the Minister of War, with an order prohibiting his MAJESTY from taking up his residence in the Palace. Senor BRAVO Munn.Lo has been dispatched to Paris to consult M. Guizar and General NAEVAEZ. The Faro says it was reported that the Union Bank was desirous of backing out of its contract for taking the Treasury bills of 100,000,000 reals, and that many of the shareholders of the Bank had assem bled to protest against it.

He has at the same time written to his brother, urging him to reunite himself to the QUEEN. The Spanish Government has not yet returned any answer to the Prince. It is added that Don ENRIQUE has written also in energetic terms to his father Don FRANCISCO, protesting against the projected marriage between the Infanta JosEruA and General PORTILL4:). The Correo, notwithstanding ' the denial of the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues, maintains that during the latter period of the Sotomayor Mi nistry, the KING usurped all authority in the palace to such an extent, that he would not allow any one to enter the QUEEN'S apartment, or have an interview with her MAJESTY, without his permission. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 19.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26t for cash; the Five per Cents. at 171 fur paper; and the Debt with .= interest at si. " Sir Robert Peel is in advance not only of his party, but lixewise of public opinion. If he had any preten sions to return to office, it is probable that he would nut thus compromise himself, but he is at present completely out of the question. He observes and he waits his op portunity. Lord John Russell, less disinterested in the question, consults and follows the current of public opinion, and it appears certain that the ensuing elections will give him a large majority, but a majority ct.rnposed of shreds and patches, pulliog on all sides at once, and representing ad the parties to which he is at present addressing himself viz., the Protectionists, who de test Sr Robert Peel ; the Conservatives, who wish to maintain the Protestant Constitution ; and the Liberals, who cannot forget that the descendant of the Russells is the most illustrious and the most beloved of their party, the author of the Reform Bill, and hitherto the defender and the patron of the religious dissenters of all denominations."

The Cotton market at Liverpool was rather firmer: sales 3,000 oaks, including 2,500 American, at 64d. to 74d. per lb. Shares were dull, but with little change in prices. As the Corn trade is now the object of such general attention, it may be interesting to direct our readers to the fall ot about ss. per quarter noticed in the report ot the market given in another column ut The Sun, and with the possiodtty of a greater decline ere the conclusion of business. The supplies which have been received in Lieden since this day week have been enormous, viz., 78,000 crs. of wheat, 21.000 of barley, 36,000 of oats, 6,000 of Indian corn, and 50,000 barrels of flour. About 60,000 quarters were on board vessels passing the Sound, ,c -c,Tding to the advices received this morning, and 360,000 quarters are estimated to have reached all toe ports of the United Kqigdom during the past weak, a tolerable stop gap for the national consumption. Up to the 19th inst. there has been a vast influx of shipping into Riga, and the number of vessels which left that port during the previous ten weeks, nearly all corn laden, was no less than 1,500. The exchange at Uamburgh last Friday was without alteration, being 35, but gold was at 431. When we consider the extraordinary quantity of grain received, we cannot feel surprised at the recent decline in the rates for bills of exchange, because no doubt a good deal, probably the bulk of this corn, and much of what is en route, has already been drawn for. The larger amount of silver sent away last week, upwards ot 500,000 ounces, was in part liquidation. The Funds have been quiet. and still exhibit a want of buoyancy.

FUND,e The trial of M. PELLAPRA took place before the Chamber of Peers on Friday. In reply to a question from the Chancellor, the accused gave the following account of the part which he had taken in the cor ruption of M. 'I'ESTE , 1 1,•; requested by M. Cubes to take some step. with M. Teste to entreat him to hasten the concession, which bad been applied tor the mines of Gouhenans. I saw M. Teste on thv business without thinking that I should have to occupy mvseli with— corruption, and I represented to him that the ptrsons interested in ti affair were vt ty at xtouS to obtain the largest concession possible, and, above all, to obtain it before the vacations. M. T ste replied that every affair could only come in its turn, and in the course of the conversation he told me that he regarded the nines of tiounenans as an excel lent aflair. 'I his word facilitwed to me an overture, which AI. Cubieres had made to me, that the parties were ready to make a sacrifice, if there were abates to s ay to the Aliiaster, If you think the affair give some perso n. I commitied the grav e f au lt, I con foss, hut I hate no money; ' on w hi c h I sa id, go ccl, why should you not take an interest in it?' He is po 'Yes, that you may not be asked for any.' But replied, i Here the c onversation stopptd for that day. Another 'line M. Teste said to me, ' I have reflected well; I can not take shares in an affair of this nature; I prefer re ceiving the value of the shares. Have you any dispos able tund,?' I replied to M. Teste that a quid of 100 0001. had been created. This is all the part that I took in this unhapry affair up to the day when I gave to M. Teste the value of the shares." ONE During a subsequent part of the proceedings M. PELLAPRA gave an account of the ultimate disposal of the 100,000 f., the investment of which led to the dis covery of the means of convicting M. TESTE. The accused said— " When I L ave to M. Teste the 100,000 franca which had bt en promised to him, ne put the sum into his drawer. Surae days afterwards I saw him again, and said—My dear triend, as you are willing to be my • banker, employ thi s sum for the one whi c h i s i n m . ) drawer. 1 had purchased some time before bills in Paris fur a sum riot of 93,000 f., but 122,000 t.

The Court, on Saturday, pronounced a verdict of guilty, and sentenced M. YELLANIA to civil degra dation, and a fine of ten thousand francs. The fine was paid and the accused discharged. The Presse takes the opportunity of the conviction of PELLAPRA to reiterate the charges brought by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN against M. DUCHATEL,, and to demand a judicial investigation. The Gazette des '1 ribunaux says—" We hear that the health of M. Tr.sTE is not recovering from the violent shock v, hich he experienced from the last dis cussions in the Court of Peers. Since his arrival at the Conetergerie he: appears threatened with cerebral congestion. Applications of ice to the bead have been employed, but without the success that was ex pected."

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Wheat of home produce were on the increase, but by no means good, the time of year considered. Those of English Barley, Malt, Oats, and indeed all other articles, were on a very limited scale. From Ireland, a few cargoes of Wheat and Flour reached us ; but from Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand. As to the imports t'-om inroad, the were immense, they having excee. ed 78.000 quarters of WI. eat. 21.000 ditto of Barley, 36.000 ditto of Oats. 6.000 ditto ot Indian Corn, and 50,000 barrels of Flout ; and, ju , !gieg from the number of ves.-els which passed th- S ,, und on Friday, a lar g e tie portation of grain way be expected this week. Fresh up to day, a lair average quanti y Erglish Wheat came to hand, in, fur the most part, good condition. Still, however, the show of samples of that article was by no means exten sive. Notwithstanding that several somewhat unfavour able accounts arrived hither this morning from various parts of England, relative to the prevalence of blight in the Wheat, and the spread of the disease in the Potato crop, and the attendance of both town and country buyers was good, the demand for all kinds ot English W heat was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quo tations paid on Monday last of from 4s to 5s per quar ter, and yet a total clearance was not effected. The quantity of Foreign Wheat brought forward was again, very great, and of improved quality; hence the sale for all descriptions was excessively dull, and the currencies suffered a fall of from 3s to 4s per quarter. The sales did net exceed 3.000 quarters, chiefly for inland consumption. No English Barley at Market, but we hao a large supply of foreign on the stands. The trade was, therefore, very dull, at a fall in the rates paid on this day se'nnight of 2s per quarter. Selected samples of Malt supported previous currencies, but the middling and inferior kinds, though we cannot call them cheaper, were a mere drag. Notwithstanding the immense supply of foreign Oats, the demand for them, owing to most of the dealers being very short of stock, was tolerably steady, at about stationary prices. The reports relative to the crop of Beans being urn favourable, the sale was firm, at is to 2s per quarter more money. A few samples ot new Peas were ot: offer to-day ; but the trade was heavy, at late rates. In Indian Corn next to nothing was doing ; but prices were mostly supported. The Flour trade was very dal;, and when sales were pressed, lower prices were accepted, especially for barrelled qualities.

From our own grazing districts the arrival of Beasts fresh up to day was somewhat on the increase, but, on the whole, of middling quality Although the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, there was a steady inquiry for the best Scots, Devons, &c., at pric s about equal to those obtained on Monday last—the very primes'. qualities of the tormei breed producing ss, though the more general toi.p quotation did not exceed 4s 10d per Blba. The middling and interior kinds of Beef met a sluggish inquiry', and, in some instances, the currencies had a downward tendency. One of the short-horn which gained a prize at the Northampton show was wrought forward for sale here to-nay. From the northern grazing districts we received about 900 short horns; from Nortolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, 600 Scots, homebreds, and short horns; from the western and midland districts, 200 Hereford, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 200 o various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 burned awl pulled Scots. The supply of Sheep, notwithstami ing it was larger than that exhibited this day week, was short, the time of year considered; hence the Mutton trade was very arm. amt week's currencies were readily sup ported in every instance. With Lamt-s we were fairly supplied, but their general quitui l Nas by no means ors( rate. All breeds were in gout request, but we can notice no improvement in value. The best Down qualities soh. at 6s 4d per Bibs.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET. The plantation accounts coming very satisfactory the demand for all k,nds of Hops has become exceedingly heavy, and prices have a downward tendency.

The imports of Wool into London last week were confined to 1,779 bales from Port 284 ditto from Hamburgh, and 48 ditto from Monte Video. The quantity of Wool on offer in the private contract market is lar,..e, yet the demand may be called more healthy than for some time past, at very full price. TALLOW. The letters which have ;el..hjel us since our last from St. Petersburgh, are to the (effect that shipments of Tallow have progressed more rapidly than had been generally expected here, upwards of 24,000 casks having been shipped off up to the 12th instant. The demand in our market is still heavy, but we can notice no lurther decline in the quotations. Y.Y.C. on the spot is 47s 90 to 48s 3d, and for forward delivery 47s per cwt. Town Tallow is 47s 6d to 48s net cash. FOREIGN FRUIT.—Very large quantities of fruit have been imported within the last few days from Hol land and Belgium. Without enumerating those of a more remote date, we may make particular mention of the latest arrivals, which have included the following : The Rainbow, from Rotterdam, brought 20 baskets of apricots, 232 baskets of currants, several packages of melons and cucumbers, and 1,482 baskets of various other kinds of fruit; the Batuvier, from Rotterdam, 22 pack ages of cucumbers and of melons, and 332 baskets and 376 hampers of currants; the City of Rotterdam, from Rotterdam, 613 baskets of differunt descriptions; the Antwerpen, trom Antwerp, 27 baskets of pears, and 501 baskets of cherries; and the Magnet, from Rotterdam, 966 baskets of various ki. ds of f. nit, the growth of Hol land; and the James Watt, fr. m Havre, 745 baskets, the growth of France. This is the largest arrival of the kind which has taken place from Belgium during the the season, and the whole must have had an important effect on the price of fruit on Saturday in the metropo litan maikets. Every facility is given by the authorities for these supplies of foreign fruit Leung inaniediately landed on their arrival by the steampackets, in conse quence of their perishable nature, and delivered to their destination with the least practieekle delay.
