LON DON, SA rtl RDAY MORNING SU N, TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, I.IAXING received very flattering assurances of support, I beg to announce my intention of offering myself as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Election, to represent the City of London. . My life has been spent in mercantile pursuits, my owa interests are identified with those of a large portion of the constituency. Commercial questions of importance must be brought before the new Parliament, and I seek upon a wider sphere to promote the trade and commerce of London by carrying out those sound principles of legislation which I advocated as an individual before they were adopted by Parliament, or stamped with popular approbation. It is chiefly upon those grounds that I venture to solicit your suffrages, and ask you to confer upon me the highest honour to which a mer chant of London can aspire. lam a Freeman and Liveryman of the City, and I shall always be ready to attend to the business of the Corporation, and to support its interests consistently with the general good. We have fortunately arrived at a period when no bitter party animo—ties exist, and when we may hope measures intended for the social improvement of the country will be considered with calm ness and impartiality. The ext , nsion of education shall receive my warmest support. I admit the right of every class in the community to share in the dis tribution of the public funds appropriated to that object : but whilst I am desirous of acting justly by the members of other religious per suasions, I shall not forget what is due to the Protestant faith to which I am sincerely attached. I am prepared to agree to such modification of the details and such improvement in the administration of the poor-laws as expe rience may dictate, ensuring to extreme want, and to the aged, the young, and the infirm poor, that support and assistance to which they are justly entitled. Internal improvements directed to benefit the health, improve the morals, and to increase the comforts and enjoyments of the great bulk of our population, shall receive my strongest approval ; but my a:m will be, not so much to create new institutions for these purposes, as to render those already existing more effective, still preserving the principle of local self-government. Attached as I have been through life to that party by which, in my judgment, the civil and religious liberties of the country have been best promoted, and prepared as I am to support the present Ad ministration, in the confident hope that by its influence, wise and salutary measures, to extend those blessings will be adopted, I shall nevertheless endeavour, In every Instance, to form a right individual judgment. and to maintain that independence which becomes the re presentative of the city of London. I have the honour to be, - Your very faithful and obedient servant, GEORGE LARPENT. Austin•friars, London, June 24, 1847. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

Pmeount, Jost! 22.—This morning, a little before five 'clock, her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Henry J. Leeks, with the Port-Admiral's flag (white) at th, main, cleared her mooring inside the western arm of tie breakwater, under topgallant sails, courses, and spanker. When ableast of the west end of the break water, she set her rorals. After passing the outer shoals she hauled up her curses, took in her royals, backed hernaintopsail, and waited for her consort. licr Majesty's ahipCaledonia, 120, Captain Manly H. Dix); with the flag cf the Admiral-Superintendent(red) at the mizen, slipped ier moorings inside the eastern arm of the breakwater- about the same time as the Queen ; but, owing to the lightness of the westerly wind, did not leave the souni untl half-past seven o'clock. She had her courses and topfallantsails set, and on joining the Queer both ships hotted their royals. They are gone sone distance off the harbour for the purpose of a day's shell exercise, under the inspection of Port-Admiral Sir John West, K.C.8., who accompanies them is the Sylph tetder. At nne in the forenoon the Plymouth, dockyard ten der, at lier moorings in Hamoaze, had her sails set, and would probably follow the ships with the Admiral-Su perintenieiat of the irsenal, Sir J. Louis. PonTssrotrrif, Jaxit 23.—This morning Col. Owen, the Deputy -Adjutant-General of the Royal Marines, and staff, proceeded to 1 , e4 Cumberland to have a grand field-day with the al Marine Artillery, under the command of Lieq ot-Colonel D. A. Gibsone, Com mandant of that -f hed corps. At eleveD.W. , : • w commenced with practice from a sea sevvicebettery, on which were mounted one CD I ,,,unaer, three 32-pounders. 3s-pounaui ear , ronade, and one . 24-pounder, from which six rounds were fired at targets placed at a range of 425 yards, the destruction of which was complete at each discharge. Better practice we never witnessed, and when it is considered that nearly all the men upon the field were recruits, the merit is considerably increased. Practice from three 10-inch mortars in the rear of an epaulment followed, from which four rounds were pro jected, the shells each time taking a most accurate direc tion, to the admiration of all present. The officers attached were Lieutenant-Colonel Gibsone, Commandant; Major Castieau, Captain Fraser, and Lieutenant Parke. After this portion of the day's operations, the scene was moved to the immediate proximity of the fort, where practice from an 8-inch howitzer and a 12-pounder medium gun, at ranges of 1,350 yards, and a 24-pounder and a 12-pounder howitzer, and a 6-pounder light field gun, at ranges of 900 yards seaward respectiiely, was exhibited. The missiles used in the practice were shell and spherical case (Shrapnel shell), the latter riddling the target flap at nearly every discharge. Practice from a 32-pounder, mounted on the south east bastion of the interior of the fort, with live shell fired to seaward at a target placed at a range of 1,500 yards, concluled the day's operations, the practice from which was most admirable, the direction of the shells being very true. Some idea of the thorough efficiency of this gallant corps may be formed from the fact of the field-battery exercise yesterday on Southsea-common, in the presence of Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, the Lieutenat-Governor, and a brilliant assemblage, having been mounted, loaded, and discharged within the astonishing space of 30 se conds 1 For th . s unparalleled efficiency the service is indebted to Colonel Gibsone. PORTSMOUTE, THURSDAY.—Yesterday a highly inte resting experiment was made in this dockyard, in the presence of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Commander-in- Chief, Vice-Admiral Ross, Captain Dacres, of the Avenger, and ether distinguished officers, of a new life buoy, invented by Lieut. Irvine, R.N., 1813, which, be sides its properties as an infallible agent in the saving of life at sea, possesses also the uses of a trunk or sea chest, in which may be stowed without the possibility of the approach of wet such matters as bread or other dry provisions, linen, ammunition, &c. The principal mate rial in this new lite-buoy or trunk is cork. Yesterday one of these trunks was filled with hammocks and heavy iron weights, some of 561 b. each, and thrown into the harbour in presence of the above distinguished officers and numerous scientific gentlemen. The result was, that, although the weight in the interior of the apparatus was treble that of a heavy man, it floated upon the surface of the tide with a buoyant force which would infallibly sup port 25 men as long as they could cling to it, ropes being appended in all directions of it to admit of that advantage in the event of an emergency. There is no inflation used, nor any preparation necessary, other than merely buckling a strap round the mouth of some webbing-cloth inside the chest, which acts as a preventive to the admis sion of water and alike excludes the air. Lieut. Irvine can fit the seats of steam-boats with his apparatus with little expense, but with certain efficacy in time of need; and considering the recent wrecks and loss of life, so fearfully augmented of late by the staving of boats when they were the only means left of attempting to brave the waves, such an instrument as this must be hailed with great satisfaction by all who have occasion, from necessity or otherwise, to travel upon the waters. The gallant veteran who has invented this new buoy has served his country in the time of need, and it is only with regret that we can allude to the necessity which compels him to thus endeavour to add to his scanty pittance of 6s. per day in the decline of his days, after holding the commission of a Lieutenant in her Majesty's navy 34 years with an untarnished reputation. He was placed by his late Majesty William IV. on board the Superb, 74, Captain Keats, in 1805, with whom he served to the end of the war. He was in the action off St. Domingo ; the expedition to Copenhagen; taking the -,panish troops from D enmar k ; E ng li s h a id e -d e - camp to the Marquis of R omans; was in the expedition to Walcheren; at the siege of Cadiz; in gun-boats and boats taking several forts; and, besides, had the pleasure of saving the lives of two men by risking his own, in jumping overboard at different times, when in the Hibernia, in the Mediterranean. The Falmouth lighter sailed yesterday, with stores for Plymouth. The Tartarus steam-vessel sailed this morning for Sheerness, with Commander James C. Caffin, of the Scourge, and about 60 of his men, to bring the Fury steam-sloop to this port. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 23.—The barque Pathfinder, Cap tain Strickland, came in this morning with Indian corn from Alexandria for orders. This vessel was freighted out last winter from England at the then current rate. On her arrival freights had considerably advanced, and her master, Captain James Thompson, was so chagrined at the circumstance, that, i n a -fit f despondency, he poisoned himself with the contents of the laudanum bottle belonging to the ship's medicine chest. The com mand devolved on her mate, Mr. Strickland; they left Alexandria the 6th of April, and, being short of provi sions, attempted to enter Cadiz, but were repulsed by the Spanish authorities, who refused permission for the barque to receive supplies, on the pretext of her having come from an eastern port. They then put to sea, in tending to make the English Channel; but meeting contrary winds, first purchased a bag of bread for 21. 15s. from a passing ship, and when half way across the Bay of Biscay bore up for Oporto. At the entrance of the Douro they received two bags from a British man-of war steamer, at which time there was but a pound and a half of bread left for a crew of eleven persons. On her passage from Oporto, about eight days since, one of the lads was sent aloft to furl the fore royal in a sudden breeze, which carried the fore topgallant mast and rig ging over the side, and flung the lad on the deck of the ship. His fall was providentially broken by his first pitching on the fore trysail, and he thus came down un injured a height of eighty or ninety feet, the only effect of the accident being a slight scratch on the lip.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness aid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

As Mr. Masterman and Mr. Ald. Johnson, late Lord Mayor, are to come forward in the Conservative interest, we may expect a keen contest for the first city in the word. Doubts are expressed whether Baron Rothschild could take his seat, in the event of his being returned. There can be no question that he could vote in the election of a Speaker, as that ceremony takes place before the oath is administered. Whether, as in the case of Mr. Pease, the Quaker Member, the usual oath would be dispensed with on Baron Rothschild's being sworn, it is impossible to say. But there can be no doubt that, should he be returned for the City, the question of the Jewish disabilities will be brought for ward under circumstances which can hardly fail to pave the way tor their removal. The result of the coming contest for the City will be looked forward to with great Worst. —Alves-kw. JUNE 26, 1847. THE LATE DR. LYNCH. We gave a prominent place, in our columns of Satur day, to a communication from one of the first medical authorities in this country, on the progress of epidemic disease in the metropolis. Yesterday we re corded the death, at the early age of 38, and after a few hours' illness, of one of the ablest and most energetic advocates of sanatory reform, Dr. Lynch, of Farringdon street. The cause of death was inflammation of the throat, which, from the acc,aints we have received, we conclude to have been of an endemic character, or at least to have been aggravated by the tendency which at present exists in the atmosphere to generate affectioss of that nature. In ordinary years they are not commonly dangerous, unless to delicate females, or persons of ad vanced age. But during the past year the bills of mor tality have shown a large increase of deaths from this class of diseases, amounting to nearly double the ordi nary proportion. The last quarterly returns of the Registrar-General state, that "in the summer of 1846 the mortality was greater than it had been in any quar ter of the last seven years ; and in the last winter quar ter, ending March 31, 1847, no less than 56,105 persons ' died in the districts which make the returns; a number greater than has been registered in any corresponding quar ter, and 6,035 (or nearly 11 per cent.) above the cor rected average." In the next paragraph the report pro ceeds—" the registrars in their notes ascribe the in creased mortality generally to inflammation of the lungs and air tubes, to typhus, and other diseases, and to the effects of cold upon the aged ;" inflammation of the lungs and throat being placed foremost among the ag gravating causes. We notice this case, not only to tes tify our regret tor the untimely loss of an indefatigable wdr&er iu sue cause of sanatory reform, but likcwi3e because the most determined effort yet made to awaken the City authorities to a sense of the awful respon sibility they are incurring, by a neglect of the sana tory condition of the City, was due to the exertions, and sustained by the professional testimony of Dr. Lynch. It is precisely a month (25th May) since the churchwardens of St. Bride's, St. Dunstan's, and other parishes in the ward of Farringdon Without, gentlemen who, as they stated, had personally inspected the dwellings of the poor, waited on the Lord Mayor, to re present the awful condition of that " worst of the thirty six metropolitan districts." Dr. Lynch was the spokes man on the part of the churchwardens; and we know no document containing a more powerful and comprehensive statement of the sa natory con di t i on o f t h e City, an d th e dangers resulting f rom i ts present state, than the elo quent address which h e d e li vere d on t h at occas i on . A brief abstract of it appeared in our next day's publica tion ; but we are not aware that a full report of it has been published in a separate form—an omission on the part of those more immediately concerned which is much to be regretted. Now, not a month has elapsed, and this eloquent denouncer of City Alth and City negli gence is struck down by the invisible enemy whose for midable presence he denounced. The cause of his death might be summed up in one of his own expres sive sentences on the occasion referred to, that amid atmospheric influences such as he described, "the most simple diseases become malignant." The petition which these churchwardens of the parishes comprised in the ward of Farringdon Without put up to the City authority was lucid enough, and easy of execution. In the words of Dr. Lynch, " they en treated his Lordship to name an early day for the consi deration of the public health, included in the memorial of the ward, urging the Corporation to adopt sanatory measures for the benefit of the poor." (And just in the same proportion, we conceive, for the benefit of the rich; and the latter, we may hint to the worthy church. wardens, being an argumentum ad hominem, is likely to be not the least effective with corporators.) Dr. Lynch continued, " The gentlemen of the inquest"—(an appro priate term that; tor what was the scrutiny into the filth of their neighbourhood, which at such perileto themselves these gentlemen carried out, but a coroner's inquest on the wholesale murders, committed, say at the rate of 100,000 per annum, by persons in authority, from Lord Morpeth down to the Lord .M.ayor, and from the Lord Mayor down to refractory dustmen, who refuse to eleanse the out-offices of the poor, unless they treat them to extra drink—who know their duty, bat will not do it?)—" suggest to his Lordship the propriety of calling a Common Council, as soon as possible, to apply to Parliament for a short Bill, empower ing the City authorities to enforce the abolition of cess-pools, and other nuisances which were of mortal injury to the community, to compel landlords to trap and open the drains of every house into the sewer, and to appoint an inspector to take care that this law was enforced. They indulge the hope that the Govern ment will render every facility in the laudable endeavour to accomplish such good." After further details of the peril that was daily incurring, and of the precautions taken at Liverpool and elsewhere, the appeal continued— " every precautionary measure which science can sug guest ought to be had recourse to, to prevent the spread of such an appalling calamity amongst us. To delay, in such a moment of imminent danger, would be criminal in difference to the safety of society." Alas lit was easy for him who uttered these powerful appeals to the authorities to indulge in hopes ; but it is the reverse of easy to make any real impression—any impression that will induce to action—on Lord Mayors or Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests. The Common Council have taken, so far as we are aware, no steps like those so impressively urged upon them. They have asked for no " short Bill." On the contrary, they and the great majority of their class, intra-mural and extra mural, in the Mansion-house and in Mar) lebone, have protested against all sanatory measures, long and short, that threatened to " Molest the ancient solitary reign" of immemorial uncleanliness. Perhaps, however, the City authorities, though they heeded not the voice of the living, will pause at the mute appeal which is made by the dead to their better sympathies as well as their fears. Dr. Lynch, by virtue of his political activity, as well as his professional skill, enjoyed considerable popularity, if not with the immediate authorities of that Corporation whose abuses, as well as all other social evils, he sought to reform, at least with great numbers among the most influential and respectable of his fellow-citizens. It is strange, however, if anything connected with this subject could be strange, that Lord Morpeth, in ascertaining what the wishes of the City were as to the measures which be had brought forward, did not apparently make any account of this appeal, publicly addressed to the City authorities by the churchwardens of a whole group of parishes in the most crowded part of the City. Surely this one voice, uttered, and by parish authorities too, in behalf of the stifled, poisoned poor, had a better right to strengthen his Lordship's wavering purposes than the minatory growls of these aldermanic dogs-in-the-manger, who will neither wash themselves nor let other people wash them, ought to have had to wring from him concessions which in his heart he knows to be not only weaknesses on his part, but actual sins, which, ere the year is over, mo s t probably thousands of his fellow-subjects will have to expiate with their lives.—Chronicle. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST THE MAYOR OF . LIMERICK. —The Lime r ick R e p or t er con t a i ns t h e f o ll ow tug extraordinary statement:—" By order of the Go vernment informations were exhibited before the bench of petty session in this city on Friday, against Thomas Walnutt, Esq., mayor of this city, as one of the firm of Stein and Co., for having defrauded the finance commit tee by substituting a different description of Indian corn for that sent to their mill to be ground. The facts are already before the readers of this journal. They are briefly these:—Mr. Walnutt is charged with having ab stracted a portion of the sound corn, and substituting in its stead, and mixing with the remainder, unsound and damaged Indian meal of his own. The informations in. elude those of the Messrs. Stein, the other two partners of the firm. Mr. Walnutt had left town on the previous day, and wo believe has not yet returned. This is a sad blow, and we trust for the character of Limerick, and for his own, that the mayor will be able to vindicate himself at the assizes. It seems strange that be should be the only member of the firm who knew anything about the transaction, though so much engaged other wise in virtue of his office." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON RAILWAY.— An accident of a very distressing nature occurred near the Anerley station of the above railway, at about a quarter before six o'clock on:Thursday. The Anerley 'Tavern and Tea Gardens form a picturesque object on the right of the Croydon Railway. They are tenanted by Mr. Buckmaster. The son of this gentleman is the victim of the unfortunate occurrence, and the manner in which the accident took place may be thus briefly de tailed :—lt appears that Mr. Buckmaster holds some land on the opposite side of the railway to that on which the tavern is situate. On this land some labourers were em ployed yesterday in hay making, the son of Mr. Buck master, a remarkably fine young man, aged only nineteen years, superintending their operations. At the hour above mentioned the deceased was in the act of crossing the railway, from the tavern into the field, when a pilot en gine on its way to town passed the station at a rapid pace, and before the unfortunate young man could clear the line he was struck by the off buffer and thrown a distance of several yards, falling with great violence on the back of his head, and fracturing his scull to a frightful extent. The accident was observed by the driver of the engine, who immediately brought up, and, assistance having been procured, the deceased, who still breathed, was placed on a truck and brought immediately to the London-bridge terminus, whence he was removed on a stretcher to Guy's Hospital. Mr. S. Abershaw, the house-surgeon, on making an examination, at once pro nounced the unfortunate man to be quite dead. MASQUERADE AT VAUXHALL.—Wednesday, after the most extensive preparations to render the occasion attractive, the gardens were thrown open, having been decorated on a very splendid scale. The performances were commenced by a representation of the scenes in the circle, where Madame Caroline and other talented artistes of the troupe exhibited the usual succession of the menage. The more especial fun of the masquerade then commenced, and although the weather had been somewhat unpropitious during the day, the gardens were thronged by a motley crowd. Three well trained bands furnished harmony to the various groups of dancers, and their inspiring strains seemed to furnish the votaries of St. Vitus with inexhaustible vigour. Under the able management of Messrs. Ryan and Lewis, on whom the mantle of the departed Simpson appears to have fallen, the gaiety of the night was kept up till morning had long superseded the brief reign of her lunar majesty. PRICE SD.

" I deeply regret that you will be called upon to ex ercise the elective franchise at a time of great manufac turing depression. It is no consolation to generous mind to know that their sufferings are shared by others ; but, unhappily, almost the whole of Europe is mourning over deficient harvests, amidst privations, which for se verity and extent have no parallel in the present cen tury. It is possible, that to some of my friends, who re joiced in the brighter prospects afforded by our recent commercial reforms, the existing distress may have brought feelings of doubt and discouragement. Free trade cannot avert a sudden and calamitous visitation of Providence ; it can only alleviate its pressure. But the present crisis has at least this consolation, that it has brought from all quarters prop's of the soundness and beneficence of our principles ; for we have seen the Go vernments of the continent with har.:iy an exception abolish their multiform regulations of the corn trade at the moment when, if their int -rference he ever efficacious, it was the most needed ; and we see them now relying upon the energies of emancipated commerce alone for saving their people from the horrors of famine. "It must, however, be acknowledged that we enter upon the new comtnere:ial era under unturtunate circum stances. Ido not alluje merely to the present scarcity of food, which in all human probability will be of short duration, but also to the possibility of a sudden reaction in the opposite direction, which may protract for a time the transition from the restrictive system to the more equable state of freedmi. The exorbitant prices will cause. as in former times in England, a greatly increased production of corn. At the same time the agriculture of the whole civilised world is under the stimulus of famine prices, and should we be blessed with a succes sion of good harvests, we may anticipate a glut of corn, not as the result of free trade, but of the present scar city. A similar process, to be foil. awed possibly with like results, is going on with another important interest. The present enormous cost of freights, by which not a few of . the shipowners of the Mediterranean will clear the value of their vessels in this year, is everywhere causing large investments of capital in ship-building. Judging from former experience, it is not therefore im probable that these two interests, which have been the least favourable to free trade, may be ere long simulta neously exposed to the effects of a reaction trom their present excitement. If there be any force in these views, they furnish the strongest motives to the friends offree trade for sending to the next Parliament, during the existence of which the process I have described will in all probability be passed through, representatives of tried convictions, who will guard with firmness the great mea sures of last year from the dangers to which they may be exposed in their transition state. Should you honour me with your confidence, I shall hope to be found with renewed health at my post, prepared to show that the present state of trade is no fair experiment of our prin ciples, and that the consequent reaction will be only an exception to the ordinary operation of free trade, which, when fairly tested by time, will, I fervently believe, pro mote the prosperity and harmony of the whole com munity; and I shall return to England, confirmed in my opinion, by the sympathy expressed for our principles by the best and wisest men in other countries, that if we continue with firmness to offer to the world a good example, it will be eventually followed by all other civilised nations. " Gentlemen ' if at this distance I do not attempt to enter upon the discussion of other matters, it is not be cause I am insensible of the importance of the questions which must, at the earliest possible moment, engage the attention of the Legislature, foremost amongst which is the state of Ireland. I will only add that in every ques tion brought before Parliament, I shall, to the best of my humble ability, act upon the principle of doing equal justice to my fellow-countrymen in every part of the United Kingdom. " I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, . . " With sentiments of respect and gratitude, " Your faithful servant, "RICHARD COBDEN. " Venice, 15th June, 1847." THE NEW FOREST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—May I hope that you will raise your potent voice to deprecate the act of Vandalism proposed by correspondent in this day's paper with regard to the New Forest? Should such utilitarian principles gain ground amongst this money-loving generation, wo to all the loveliest spots in England! The trees of Ken sington and Kew Gardens must be cut down for fire wood, and Blenheim and Strathfieldsaye—those monu ments of a nation's gratitude—will be found to occupy an undue portion of land, which might be turned to a more profitable account, just as the demagogues of the French revolution were for turning the Tuileries into a kitchen-garden. It is strange that in an age where there exists so proper a spirit for preserving the relics of bygone times, provided such relics be architectural, that the sublimer works of God should be so little cared for that men look with apathy on their deseeration. Where i 3 this thirst fir destruction to end, and what will be the consequence? Why, that all those who can afford it will be driven to seek for rural scenery on the continent, and to spend their money away from England. People rail at Lord Brougham for taking up his summer quarters in France. but in a few years many classes below Lord Brougham will do the same, simply from the impossibility of finding green lanes and trees unenclosed. What would the Chamber of Deputies think of a project to destroy the torests of Fontainebleau or Cornll gne ? And should England, who can boast but of one forest of the size and beauty of those of her neighbour, not only timely submit to, but aid and .bet its destruction ? Depend upon it, Sir, he who could propose such a measure has neither an eye for the picturesque nor a heart to respect the historical traditions and associations of his country, and, worse still, no fellow• feeling for the pent-up citizens of London, who can run down and enjoy a few days in Hampshire, though neither time nor fortune might allow them to luxuriate in the shades of St. Germain or Ville d'Avray. Fortunately, the New Forest belongs to the Crown, and we may hope that her Majesty's good taste will put down all attempts at carrying your correspondent's scheme into effect, but we could wish to enlist your aid and sympathy in a cause that must interest not only all Englishmen, but all who inhabit this country. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A RESIDENT FOREIGNER. June 23. TAXATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am sorry to see that the electors are troubling themselves about Popery, instead of taxation. If we de not attend to the latter, we need not look for prosperity. Nothing can be more vicious than our system of taxa tion. That the improvement of the industrious part of the community can only be effected by increasing the direct and lessening the indirect taxation, cannot be disputed. Much might be done by a clear headed and honest Chancellor of the Exchequer. For instance, if Ireland paid the income-tax—and why she does not no decent reason can be given— England might be released from the window-tax, and that most heavy burden on working men's houses and impediment to drainage in towns, the Excise duty on bricks. Then, if we did not encourage distillation from grain, of which we have an insufficiency for food, the Exchequer would benefit between nine and ten millions per annum, which would admit of a considerable reduction in the taxes on tea, sugar, &c. Many more absurdities might be adduced in our fiscal regulations, but I don't wish to trespass too much on the space in your valuable paper.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ELECTOR. On Tuesday last the directors of the Shropshire Union Canal and Railway Company gave an elegant dinner at the Clarendon, to the Right Hon. the Earl of Powis, K.G., the chairman of the company, and at the same time preferred a unanimous request that his Lord ship would sit for his portrait, with a view to its being placed in the board-room of the company, a request to which the Noble Earl kindly assented. Mr. J. P. West head, of Lea Castle, presided. Mr. George Holyoake occupied the vice chair; and Lord Clive, M.P., the Hon. Colonel Anson, M.P., Sir F. H. Goodricke, W. H.

PANT, AT THEIR HALL, IN CHEAPSIDE, To MAJOR GENERAL SIR HARRY SMITH, BART., THE HERO OP ALIWAL.—The above company gave an elegant dinner on Thursday to this gallant officer. The Master, B. B. Williams, Esq., was supported by the Right Hon. Lord Rossmore, Sir William Verner, Bart., Captains Dalzell and Morris, R.N., Colonel Elrington, of the Scots Fusi her Guards, Captains Ponsonby, Williams, and Smith. David Salomons, Esq., and the Aides-de Camp of Sir H. Smith. The usual loyal toasts in appropriate speeches were givee, and the Master then proposed, in a very happy and interesting manner, the health of their dis tinguished guest, Sir Harry Smith, and alluded in strong terms to his eminent career, and more particularly to his recent brilliant achievements on the banks 41 the Sutlej, which had been so conducive to the safety of our Indian empire, and which merited, in an especial de gree, the gratitude and consideration of every one, and more particularly those connected with that part of the British empire. The health of the gallant officer was longgratificationaftersoat his cordialwelcomecountry, receivi n g,an absence, on everywhere, and especially from the citizens of London. In allusion to the company, he had the honour of dining with, " the Saddlers," he referred humorously to the obligation he felt under to that craft, inasmuch as in his early career in life he had been frequently employed in conveying imp ortant di spatc hes in the l'eninsu l a d f rom one part of th e arm y to the other, and patch had been materially aided y th e safety He t ru s ted saddle Oan that had carried him safe over. b that the rights of t he city of London would be held. inviolate, and that while the company of Saddlers adhered to t heir ancient and beautiful motto, " o u r trust is in o, God, and and upheld, as they had alw a y s d one , their integri ty and high position, they would, as i n th e words of one of the Masters' toasts, " continue and flourish for ever." The festivities of the evening were enlivened by some excellent singing, and after Sir Harry Smith had proposed the health of the Worshipful Master, in a highly complimentary speech, and whieb. was received with acclamation, concluded with great éclat at a late hour. REPRESENTATION OF THE ClTT. — Thursday Mr. Lyall, the Conservative Member for the city of Loudon. announced to the constituency his intended retirement from the representation at the close of the present Par limo:IL Mr. Lyall has stood four contested elections for the City, in two of which he was victorious
