GENTLEMEN, -RATING 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 own 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 Cordoration, and to support its interests consistently with the general good. We have fortunately arrived at a period when no bitter party animosities exist, and when we may hope measures intended for the tr-lal improvement of the country will be considered with calm ness and impartiality. The extension of education shall receive my warmest support. I admit the right of every class in the commuuity 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 aim 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 j adgment, 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.

The annual meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday, at 79, Pall-mall. Among those present were the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of London (President), the Dean of Chichester, the Rev. Sir H. Dukinfield, Rev. A. M. Campbell, Rev. Henry Hughes, the Right Hon. W. Gladstone, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Pownall, &c. • Prayers having been read, The Right Rev. PRESIDENT said : In the few re marks which I shall address to you, before commenc ing the business of the day, I shall not anticipate the report which will shortly be read to you, and which will state to you distinctly the position which has been occupied by the London Diocesan Board dur ing the last year, and the degree of success which has attended it. We find ourselves at what may be termed an educational crisis in this country, and it depends on an institution like this, acting in con nexion with and in subordination to that great insti tution the National School Society for the education of the poor, whether the result of that crisis shall be for the good of the church, and therefore for the best interests of the country, or whether we shall take a back ward step in the course we have pursued, and be less successful than we have been in our endeavours to procure an inseparable connexion between reli gious and secular instruction. I should rather say a fusion than a connexion ; for I hold that the only education which can e called Christian is that which is secular and religious ; that is to say, that what is called secular instruction shall be so communicated to children in a class as to impress them with a conviction that the whole is connected with their duty to God, as well as their duty in that station of life to which it' has pleased God to call them.—(Applause.) A great event has taken place during the last year in the publication and adoption of the minutes of the Committee of the Council of Education. What the ultimate result will be we cannot foresee, but still I think we may predict that if the Church is true to itself, and puts forth its energies in a degree commensurate to the exigencies of the case, the result cannot be other wise than beneficial to the Church, and through it to the interests of Christianity and the welfare of the community at large.—(Applause.) It is obvious to those who have considered the case, that in order to realise this result greatly in creased exertions must be made by the Church, in order to render its present system so beneficial as to deserve and secure the co-operation of the Govern ment. Indeed, I think this is ona of the best features of the Government plan, and characteristic of the Christian prudence which marks it, that it makes a certain degree of proficiency in every school —or, at least, a diligent endeavour after that proficiency— necessary to the securing any portion of assistance from the public resources—(Applause). Now, I know no stronger stimulus than this is calculated to give. I looked with some degree of satisfaction upon the fact, that one of the most important features of the Government scheme is one that had before marked the proceedings of the London Diocesan Board. I will not say we started the idea of pupil teachers, but I may state the fact that we had established them before the minutes of the Council were promulgated. It gives me great pleasure to see it adopted in the Government plan, of; which I consider it an impor tant and valuable portion. We have every reason, as far as our experience goes, to be satisfied with it. As to the particular wants of this diocese, I have spoken of them so often that I need scarcely allude to them. In the course of the last year the com mittee have put forth an appeal for the purpose of erecting new schools in the City, and the improve ment of those that exist. The latter proposal is impor tant as being in connexion with the provision of the minutes of council which requires that a certain degree of proficiency shall have been obtained before Government aid is given. The appeal we have made to the public has not been responded to yet so well as we hope it will be when the case is better under stood. The question is not now whether a fund shall be formed by the friends of the church—it is not the question only shall a school be built—but on the for mation of a fund depends the possibility of our having a just measure of Government aid. So that when a person withholds his contribution, he prevents us from receiving a greater degree of assistance from the Government resources.—(Hear, hear.) That ought to be an additional incentive to the friends of the church. I cannot help alluding to another of the measures which have been taken by the London Diocesan Beard . —not exactly taken, but now pro posed. After all the endeavours which. have been made to bring within the pale of Christian education the almost countless numbers of children who have been so long left destitute of it, after all the exertions of the National Society, there are thousands entirely out of the reach of Christian instruction, many of the children of pro dfligate and godless parents, who not only do not care to provide for their children the advantages of a Christian education, but who retard it, knowing that it would deprive them of their lawless and unnatural gains. This has not been kept sufficiently in view. If we neglect the poor, educated they will be, but it will be the education of vice, an d dishonesty, and ruin. Measures must now be taken to rescue thou sands of children who are a prey to vice. I say this with reference to a scheme which is generally known by name as the plan for Ragged Schools. I wish that name had not been given to them, but they are known by it. I must do justice to those who have taken in hand this work of Christian charity.— (Applause.) Though I could have wished that they had been kept more strictly in connexion with the church, I must not withhold the meed of praise from those who have endeavoured to rescue these unhappy children from their depths of misery. — (Applause.) We, I hope, shall not be backward in following their example and these who have pre ceded us. This forms a feature in the plan which the London Diocesan Board are now sending forth to the public ; and if we look to the possible results, it is not the least important, and is the most difficult to deal with. I hope you will have sufficient confi dence in us to believe that we shall not be guilty of any compromise of principle.—(Applause.) It is hardly necessary for me to touch on the sub ject any further. - I have on more than one occasion expressed my gratitude to Government for having dealt with this difficult question with a great deal of prudence and benevolence. The Church has come forward to accept the assistance so offered to it, and it remains with the members of the Church in different dioceses to use increased exertions in order to derive from this measure the full amount of benefit which it is calculated to give if properly carried out.—(Loud applause.) In t he diocese of London I think we may expect such assistance from the friends of the Church as shall enable us to carry out the important plan which has recently been held out to them.--(Loud and general applause.) Mr. BURGESS, the honorary secretary, not fortunate enough to get then read the report, a long MS. d ocum ent, of which we were a copy. It suggested that, as it would be found di ffi cult to retain children unless something was done to relieve their parents, it would be proper that twelve children should be se lected, and paid as head-monitors at 5/. per annum. The board being anxious to raise the condition of the most destitute children, proposed to erect schools, towards which the Bishop of London subscribed SOO/. A public meeting was held on the subject on the 22d of April. Hitherto (said the report) the board has not circulated the plan, but they now announce that her Majesty the Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent have approved of it, and given donations. 1,0001. is the sum now in hand, The following are the heads of the plan : " 1. To promote and aid in the building of schools in those parts of the metropolis which are included in the diocese of London, and, wherever it is practicable, to add rooms for the residences of the teachers. "2. To aid in maintaining and improving schools which already exist in necessitous districts, until they are in a condition to avail themselves of the Govern ment assistance. "To assist in opening and fitting up for national and parochial schools, as we ll as to con tribute towards maintaining evening day schools ( or for destitute and neglected children hired rooms (commonly called ragged schools), with a view to preparing scholars for the more regular and permanent institutions. " All donations and annual subscriptions or r for subscriber a w n i y l I o b n e e considered as placed at the disposal o f t h e b oar d f or should g eneral particularlypu rposes, express unless a a n y dono r preference or more of the above objects. " Donations of 301. and upwards may be paid by instalments within three years. " With a work of such magnitude i n v i ew , in which the present and eternal welfare of many thou sands of poor children in this metropolis may be in volved, the committee of the board will not allow themselves to doubt but that in a short time they will receive that support which will enable them to carry forward these designs ; and that the friends of na tional education will come forward with a liberality proportioned to the importance and necessity of the work now before them, as evinced by the urgent lapplications for aid which have already been received from some of the most needy parishes in the metro polis." The annual revenue, it appeared, had b een epi. IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

It is a quaint and sin gular building in stone, of a very early period, containing Numerous lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family, which, if assisted by a tasteful and judicious outlay for embellishment and furniture, in accordance with its character, a residence not only of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be obtained.

A R R I A G E ' M One half the world • are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter 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 and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health ahouldform an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

" Sir,—As an elector for the Tower Hamlets, having seen that you intend to offer yourself for the representa tion of the borough at the ensuing general election, I beg very respectfully to put to you the questions enclosed with this; and, as probably the same or similar questions will be put to you by many of my brother electors, I shall hope to learn your sentiments upon the subjects to which they relate through some public channel of com munication, since it were obviously unreasonable to ex pect a private answer.—l am, Sir, yours very respectfully, (Signed) " J.

(Copy.) PRINTED QUESTIONS " Recommended by the Committee of Deputies to be put by electors to candidates for the representation of the city of London, the metropolitan boroughs, and the adjoining counties, with a view to ascertain their senti ments upon points affecting the civil and religious rights of Protestant Dissenters. " 1. If they are prepared to vote against any grant of public money for religious or ecclesiastical purposes, whether such money is to be appropriated to the Estab lished Churches of the United Kingdom, or to any of the non-established religious bodies of the country? " 2. Whether they will oppose all plans for endowing, either out of the Consolidated Fund or otherwise, the ministers of any religious body, Roman Catholic or Protestant? " 3. Whether they are prepared to oppose any system of general education, at the public expense, which either directly or indirectly compels the use of a catechism or creed, and attendance on any particular form of public worship? 4. Whether they will embrace every opportunity of voting for the abolition of church-rates and of the eccle siastical courts? " 5. Whether they will, on all occasions, vote in favour of extending equal civil rights to all classes of her Ma jesty's subjects, so that no person shall be excluded from eligibility for office, place, or service, on account of his religious opinions?" " Addison-road, June 19, 1847." " Sir,—l. With regard to your first question, I am by no means prepared to vote against the grant of public money for ecclesiastical purposes, so long as the money is to be distributed fairly amongst different creeds and sects " 2. I am not aware of any plans for endowing, out of the Consolidated Fund or otherwise, the ministers of any religious body, but I will not give a pledge one way or the other. " 3. I should certainly oppose any system of education that compels the use of any catechism or creed, or at tendance on any particular form of worship. _ " 4. I am foi the abolition of church-rates and eccle siastical courts, but I will not pledge myself to vote against them on every opportunity, knowing well from experience how measures may be mixed up with other. that may render it inexpedient to vote as the resolution may be worded. " 5. Though adverse to pledges, I have no objection to pledge myself to this question, which is a principle I have upheld from my childhood. " I am. Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " C. It.

ENCROACHMENT ON THE THAMES.—(From a COT respondent).—Tho quiet parish of Twickenham has lately been thrown into a state of great excitement by the attempt of a Noble Lord, the proprietor of a man sion on the bank of the river, to shut up one of the thoroughfares on that favoured and much frequented water way. Those who have enjoyed the delight of a boating excursion up the river from Richmond to Twickenham will remember that immediately below Orleans House, formerly the residence of the present King of the French, there is a small island, the channel between which and the north bank of the Thames is by far the pleasantest and safest course (when there is a suf ficient depth of water) for those proceeding upwards who would avoid the strength of the current and the chance of collision with the steamers which now ply in numbers in that locality. This channel has from time immemorial been open to its value public, and, from what has been s aid above , value is sufficiently obvious. A few weeks ago the in habitants of Twickenham were astounded at seeing labourers at work driving stakes and constructing a dam or causeway between the Orleans house bank and the island in question, and on inquiry it was found that they were acting under the directions of the Noble Lord alluded to. The work has proceeded, and the channel is now effectually blocked up. It appears that without an) previous notice to the parishioners the Noble Lord ap• plied to and obtained the sanction of the Conservators of the Thames to this very vexatious infringement on the rights and comfort of the inhabitants of Twicken ham. The work appears to be one of pure wantonness, unattended with any possible benefit to the projector, and is regarded by the parishioners with the most in tense disapprobation—as, independently of the stoppage of the right of way hitherto enjoyed, the dam is sure to cause an accumulation of filth and to prove a serious nuisance. All attempts made by the parishioners to induce the Noble Lord to stay the progress of his vexatious work having failed, the inhabitants met in vestry, and, after strongly reprobating the proceedin g , eoc ot T ad b h l i ae s i agreed to forward au energetic memorial to th e Conser vators of the Thames, praying that the cons en t so h astily and neighbourhood, t h gh d he r b a ro w eus n rpi . l and unad bT t e i ew s n e io d sk l i y genn g iel i dva nearlyTwickenham adyb its e i la ci n he therer n a b o i y- - doubt but that it will prod uce the desired effect. r i t s a i anll little laoesf [ADVERTISEMENT].

Ap ply at :he Row•barge Tavern, Common Hard ; or on board her Majesty's ship Victory. " JOHN PASCO, Captain. " Her Majesty's ship Victory, June 24." This is an advance in the right direction in the endea vour to get the ships manned ; too much picking and choosing has been of late the practice with officers of ships fitting out, who are too apt to indulge in the for bidding notice, " None but the best need apply," when calling for seam( n. If ships cannot be manned by ready made seamen, they must be manned by such as may be willing to serve the Queen afloat. There is plenty of ttio " raw material" in the country, which, with a liqle judicious trimming, may be made quite as available for all the purposes required as the old stock. Seamen are not scarce —they only want encouragement. The Resistance troop-ship, Commander G. Lowe, ar rived thi s morn i ng at Sp i thea d w i t h t h e 14t h R e gi me nt from Halifax. Orders were awaiting her on her arrival to proceed with as little delay as possible to Plymouth to disembark the troops. The Diligence naval transport, which arrived here an Sunday, brought field pieces, boat guns, tumbrils, slides', &c., for the use of the boat brigade and artillery com panics of the dockyard battalion. These have been lauded to-day. She brought also a set of drums and bugles for the corps. Last evening the boat brigade of the Royal Clarence Yard Volunteers, under the command of Major Davies (Master-Attendant), made their first essay in gunboat practice. They were provided with a launch from the Excellent, with a 24-pounder in the how of her. They rowed out into the harbour channel and fired seven rounds in most admirable style, which may be judged of by the fact of their having fired three rounds in the space of forty seconds! Not so bad for a beginning. Their major is an active and indefatigable officer, and one likely to have contributed considegably to this favourable result of a first essay. Unfortunately, in the heat of their martial ardour, they fired so close to the Quebec Hotel, that the concussion, increased by a strong wind blowing right on to the establishment, smashed or cracked nearly every pane of glass on the water side of the building, a catastrophe which also befel numerous other houses and tenements along the Portsmouth shore in proximity with the firing party, for which compensation is, of course, demanded by the pro prietorsor tenants. The Commander-in• Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, intends to sail on Sunday, we believe, if the weather should prove favourable, in the Undine steam-yacht, on a visit to the Channel Islands. On this occasion his flv , will be struck in the Victory and transferred to the Undine, and the duties of the port will be carried on pro tern. by Rear-Admiral of the White Hyde Parker, C. 8., Superintendent of the Dockyard. ROYAL MARINES. The half yearly examination of the officers studying at the Royal Naval College and the Royal Marine cadets in the Excellent gunnery-ship terminated yesterday, whe❑ the Commander-in-Chief announced the following as the result:— Mr. H. J. Blomfield (son, we believe, of the Bishop of London), awarded the lieutenant's commission, granted half-yearly. Second Lieutenants H. W. Mawbey and F. L. Alex ander passed into the Royal Marine Artillery Com panies. The following marine cadets were declared qualified for commissions in the Royal Marine corps, to which they will be gazetted most probably this evening :—Mr. 11. G. Elliot, son of Lieutenant H. Elliot, R. MI., on re served half-pay ; Mr. J. Wright, son of Lieutenant T. Wright, R.N., of Cooper's hill, Semaphore-station; Mr. G. G. Halliday, son of Mr. Halliday, paymaster and purser, R.N., and steward of the Royal Hospital at llaslar ; and Mr. G. Gregory, son of retired Com mander Gregory. We are happy to find the First Lord's patronage likely to be so well bestowed, all the latter candidates being the sons of old, deserving, andirneritorious officers.

PROTEST AGAINST THE RETEN TION OF CLAUSE 11. IN THE BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER, &c., BILL. Dissentient— 1. Because when Parliament declares that the interests of the Church require an increase in the number of the Bishops of England and Wales, it is an ungracious in terference with the prerogative of the Crown as enjoyed by her Majesty's predecessors, to annex to the creation of such bishoprics the condition that the number of Bishops sitting in Parliament shall not be increased, and to take away from her Majesty, her heirs and successors, the power of summoning to Parliament all or any of these Bishops at any future period if it should become her or their wish to do so, thus permanently limiting the royal prerogative, under the pretext that her Majesty has been pleased to declare that, as at present advised, she does not contemplate the issue of her writ to the new Bishops, except as vacancies shall from time to time occur among the Bishops of England and Wales now sitting in Parliament. 2. Because by this clause the writs of summons to Parliament to which the Bishops of the ancient sees of England and Wales are by law entitled, are to be sus pended as each see shall become vacant, and as the right of the successive holders of such sees to suck writs of summons is as much inherent in their sees as that of the Lords Temporal in their respective peerages, the abovementioned enactment constitutes a dangerous precedent, at variance with the principle of an hereditary peerage, and contrary to the privileges as well of the Lords Temporal as Spiritual.
