WESTMINSTER ELECTION• A meeting of electors for Westminster, who are the friends and supporters of Charles Lushington, Esq., one of the candi dates for the representation of that city in the ensuing Par liament, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, yesterday evening, for the purpose of adopting the prelimi nary measures necessary to ensure the election of that gen tleman. JOSEPH PAAKES, Esq., having been called to the chair, observed that for many years past it had been the practice of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster to initiate all election proceedings through the agency of the Westminster Reform Society. That association having had communicated to them that it was the intention of Mr. Leader to withdraw from the representation of the city at the next general election, they had submitted to several well-known public men of tried talent certain questions, with a view to ascertain the most fit and proper person to fill the vacancy which Mr. Leader's retire ment would occasion. They had received answers from several gentlemen, and in the exe rc i se o f t h e i r judgment their choice h a d devolved upon Mr. Charles Lush ington.—(Cheers.) It was known that a very recent loss had occurred in that gentleman's family, which prevented his attendance this evening; but a letter had been received from him explaining the cause of his absence, and requesting that he (the Chairman) would notify to the meeting the great disappointment he felt at being disabled from person ally acknowledging the kindness of those gentlemen who might attend as being friendly to his election. Mr. Lushing ton would, however, bold himself in readiness to appear at any future time when his presence might be required.— (Cheers.) The association had called the present meeting, not for the purpot - _e of munopoli-ing the pow rof the electors, but to adopt the initiatory steps that v'ere necessary to a more general meeting. Mr. GEEsiat proposed the first resolution, namely—" That Charles Lushington, is a fit and proper person to re present the city of Westminster in Parliament." The association of which the chairman had spoken had existed upwards of thirty-five years, and it was well known that before any candidate was entertained by that society, it was necessary that he should pledge himself to act in accordance with the views of the whole of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster, ani not conic forward, as it were, on his own account, without possessing the confidence of the association, although he might happen to be a supporter of the general principles put forth by them. lie admitted that he had advocated the claim of Mr. George Thompson— ( [leer, hear)—and he should have been proud to have seen that gentleman a candidate; but Mr. Thompson had been rejected by the Reform Society, and having himself acqui esced in that decision, rather than split the Liberal interest in Westminster, which he would have done to an amazing extent, he (Mr. Geesin) had no hesitation in proposing that Mr. C. Lushington was a fit and proper person to be their re presentative.— (Cheers.) They were aware that meetings had been held elsewhere in favour of another gentleman, whose name it was not worth while to mention; but it should be observed that those meetings had not been attended by electors. Their resolutions, indeed, ran "we, the electors," but the party forming the meetings were no electors at all.— (Cheers and laughter.) The Reform Society had been com plained of, and they were accused of dictation ; but it was not an exclusive society. Every elector was at liberty to join it if he thought proper ; the charge of dictating, therefore, wag unfounded. Mr. PROUT felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution, because he found from several interviews he had had with Mr. Lushington that that gentleman's political opinions were of a very liberal nature, and that he was one of those re formers who, in the olden times of Westminster, would have done great credit as the representative of that city.— (Cheers.) There were ten principal measures which Mr. Lushington was requested to give his opinion upon as to whether he concurred with the Liberal electors in regard to them or not, and his answer unequivocally was, that for many of them he had already voted in Parliament, and that for the whole of them he was prepared to vote on any occa sion. —(Cheers.) The points were-1. Vete by ballot. 2. Extension of the suffrage. 3. The repeal of the 27th clause in the Reform Act, which made the payment of rates and taxes before a particular day necessary to the obtaining the fran chise. 4. Trienial Parliaments. 5. A more extensive reform of municipal corporations. 6. Repeal of the window and corn tax : the corn-tax was gone to the tomb of all the Capulets, and no doubt the window-tax would soon follow.—(Cheers.) 7. The abolition of all unmerited pensions. 8. The repeal of all taxes which impede the diffuison of knowled 9 - The reform of the Church Establishment. And 10. The proper application of the funds known to exist in the catin . tiz ushing _ purposes of education. In all these measures Ma for t 0 ton concurred; he therefore thought the meetinghfrinwoautlidonla o a f v a e no hesitation in adopting a proposition f t h a t gentleman, and bring it to a successful issue. — ( Cheers.) Air committee to conduct the election o him by Mr. George Thompson, in decared his readiness to support Mr. read a letter addressed to. Front then which that gentleman a man of sound judg ment, ri p e experience, and tried rodeopendence. , • Lushington,-wnhtoimeinhae d esc ribed to be " a thorough Reforma n The resolution was E ( Chsers. Lanimously agreed to. On the motion of Mr. LEWIS, seconded by Mr. A UST IN,. a long list of gentlemen of well-known Liberal principles, be longing to the constituency of Westminster, was then ap pointed a committee, with power to add to their number. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. GAOL PERQUISITES.-I.t Came out in the course of proceedings at Lambeth Police -court yesterday, that the Go vernor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol makes a perquisite by giv ing copies of the commitments of the prisoners to their friends, for which half-a-crown each is charged. THE NEW HOUSE OF LORDS.—We understand that Mr. Barry, the architect of the new Houses of Parlia ments, has intimated to the Marquis of Lansdowne that the House of Lords will be completed for the reception of their Lordships after the Easter recess, with the exception of the fresco paintings and the statues in the niches. The new House of Commons is not expected to be ready for some time. The Victoria Hall, at the south end, and the Peers' Lobby, at the north end, and the corridors, are in a great state of forwardness. EADVERTISEMENT.3— WONDERFUL EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Nine months since Mr. Winburn, a respectable and well-known gentleman in Glaslough, county Monaghan, had- an opening made from the hip to the knee, and a great deal of diseased flesh re moved. For three years he suffered night and day, although he consulted all the most - skilful surgeons and pby.ician, h i , could bear of; using baths, liniments, Szc. - , without etl'ecf Ile expected to be a cripple f6r lite; yet by the use of Ilw loway's Ointment and Pills he is now cured, and enabled to attend to business for the last six months as though nothing had happened.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. DINNER TO Mk WAIKLEY, np. Yesterday evening an entertainment was given to Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Angel Inn, Islington, by his consti tuents, not only as a testimony of their approval of his political conduct, but of the way in which he has discharged his duties as coroner, and particularly of his mode of con ducting the proceedings of the inquest at Hounslow. Mr. Fielden, M.P., presided, and was supported by M r . T. Dun combo, M.P., General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., Mr. Shar man Crawford, M.P., Mr. Williams, M.P., and several in fluential gentlemen not in Parliament. About eighty of the electors of the borough sat down to an exceedingly well arranged dinner. The moment the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose, and said that the first toast on his list was one which used to be drunk first in better times, viz., " The people, the just source of all political power." The toast was drunk with loud cheering. The next toast, " The Queen, and may she at all times faithfully fulfil the wishes of the people, and always set a good example to the aristocracy, amongst whom she hdld the highest rank," having been drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, The Cnsaamax proposed the " Health of Mr. Wakley, the honest and fearless representative of the borough of Fins bury in Parliament." The toast was pledged amidst general and vehement cheering. Mr. WARLEY commenced by acknowledging the kind and flattering manner in which they had received the toast. The Hon. Gentleman then described his own active life for nearly a quarter of a century, for twenty-three years of which he had conducted a public journal, had been twelve years their representative, and for eight years coroner for a considerable portion of that county. He continued_ the Reform Bill had not been attended with the good consequences some persons expected, and the House of Commons might still be named emphatically a bad house, and John Bull ought to be called John Cow, for he yielded to the pressure of taxation with merely a grumble, but did not combine and agitate properly to make the Legislature act as it ought to do. Public spirit was not kept alive except when some great crisis occurred ; in tact, John Bull seemed always to be locking the door after The horse was stolen. He would not go through all the mis doings - of the last Parliament, but me - rely State his opinion that it was not a good one for the people, and how it would end he knew not. The time would soon come when a grand national inquest would be held upon it. He was of opinion that the duration of Parliament should be shortened, the number of the electors should be increased in order to render them more independent, and that the vote by ballot was necessary, though the electors of Finsbury were able to do without it, and preferred going to the hustings and re cording their votes openly. The Hon. Member then alluded to the state of Ireland, which, he observed, showed how occupied people were in England. Proposals were now being made to send large grants of money to the sister country. Did the electors of Finsbury regret those ' grants? No, they would' not regret thian:)t Aey - aalr , that the result of lherit.eirettfd - he placing society in Ireland upon a just and safe footing. He would ask whether the proposals now made by Ministers had that ten dency? In his opinion they had not, and they would only make things worse. A small party of public men with whom he was connected had been for many years demand- Mg for Ireland ene thing—viz., a just and liberal poor-law; and, in the absence of it, every farthing sent to that country would be a robbery, because it would not be a benefit to the p nor Irish, but to the Irish landlords only.—(Hear.) There were at that table six Members of the House of Comone, and he believed that every one of them took the same view se he nid of the question.—( Hear, hear.) If such a state et things were permitted any longer, it would be a judgment. on the whole community for their supineness. In the pan of St. Giles 27,0001. a year were collected for the len. of the poor, and during the last year he was told tb,, , , 4 0,000/. out of that sum had been expended on the poor of Ireland. The truth was that the officers of that parish, seeing what would be the fate of the Irish if they were =catt back to their own country, declined sending them there any longer. When a poor-law was spoken of fur Ireland the Irish landlords contended that such a tax would amount to a confiscation of their property. All he could say was, " then lam for confiscation."—(Loud cheers.) If it is to be a question between the landlords of Ireland and the people England who is to be robbed, I say, as one of the majority, let the minority be robbed.—(Loud cheers.) They have been long enough robbing us. He was told that if out-door relief was given to the Irish they would not work. He knew better ; they worked in this country, and they did not apply for relief as long as they could work. He could not help alluding to another proposal for the benefit of Ireland, viz , the loan of sixteen millions to make rail ways in a country were people were so poor that they had not money enough to pay the smallest passage fare. This was a scheme propounded by the leader of the Protectionist party. Really it was an Irish proposal, though some said it was concocted in the land of Hudsonia. It was most ridi culous to say it was the relief of Ireland, when the truth was that it was intended for the benefit of Irish railway shareholders.--(Hear, hear.) He believed that the good sense of some of the Members of the House of Commons would prevent the passing of such a measure, and that it would not be revived in the House of Lords. The Hon. Member then alluded to the late judgment pronounced in the Court of Queen's Bench unfavourable to him, and having gone over the facts connected with the inquest at Hounslow, maintained that that judgment was delivered in ignorance, and that he would defend himself against the injustice, not only on the present occasion, but on a fitting opportunity elsewhere. Having thanked the electors for the honour they had done him, the Honourable Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering. Some other members then addressed the company, who did not separate until a late hour. No. 16,977. LON DON, T UESDAY E ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LI VERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON. The steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, arrived in the Mersey at an early hour this morning, after a rapid voyage of 13i days. She brings 75 passengers, and a heavy monthly mail. The Hibernia's outward passage was rather more pro tracted than usual, as she had to encounter heavy gales from the westward, and foga when off the coast of Ame rica. In a political point of view her news, which is nine days later from the United States, does not possess much importance. The commercial intelligence, how ever, is highly important, and will fio doubt tend much to influence the general aspect of commercial affairs in this country. Under these circumstances we shall first allude to it. It is most satisfactory to be enabled to report that the improvement in the exchange on England is fully established. The latest quotation at New York, for the steamer Hibernia, was 106 i, and a large business was done. The gold taken out by the Hibernia had the immediate effect of turning the balance of trade, or, at all events, of making it a matter of doubt whether further shipments of specie would render a profit to the English exporter. The further supply of 300,0001, sent out by the Cambria, will give a large amount to draw against, and must tend to relieve anxiety on this side as to future requirements of bullion. The proceedings of Congress prevent no features of parti cular note. In the Senate, on the 25th ult., Mr. Benton, on leave, made a speech in vindication of the President for having proposed the creation of the office of Lieutenant- General of the army. The plan, he stated, was his, not the President's. In September the President had offered him the mission to France, which he positively declined. In No vember he sent for him, and asked his opinion relative to the future conduct of the war. He (Mr. Benton) gave his plan, and afterwards put it in writing, but would not disclose it. He would say, however, that it required one head for the whole army, and that the war should he prosecuted vigo rously, living on the enemy, and levying contributions. Ge neral Jackson had offered him the command of the army in 1836, in case of war with Mexico. In 1812, he (Mr. Benton) was the military superior of every general new in the ser vice. He mentioned these things only to vindicate the Pre sident. On the 27th the Treasury Note Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Cilley's resolution to withdraw the troops from Mexico was taken up, and after some remarks, Mr. Cilley made an explanation, and the resolution was laid on the table—yeas ' 44; nays, 0. In th e H ouse on t h e same day, Mr. Ki ng , of Georgia, offered a joint resolution, which was passed, directing the President to procure gold and silver medals for the officers and the men of the French, Spanish, and English vessels of war, who aided in rescuing the seamen of the brig Somers. The Bill to increase the pay of and grant bounty land to the regulars and volunteers of the army was finally passed by 171 to 18. Mr. Schenck moved a sus pension Of the rules to introduce his resolution relative to the withdrawal of the troops from Mexico to the east bank of the Rio Grande, which was negatived by a vote of 28 to 150. The two Senate amendments to the Treasury Note Bill were agreed to. • In the Senate on the 28th, Mr. Upham presented a resolu tion from the Legislature of Vermont against the Mexican war and the acquisition of slave territory. The Committee on:Naval Affairs reported a Bill . to provide for the construction of I,ur steam -ships-ot-war. Mr. Niles offered a resolution declaring it necessary to raise an additional revenue of. 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 dolls. annually, by increasing the duties on articles now taxed, and imposing duties on those now free, to meet the expenses of the war. The following important resolutions had passed the State Legislature of New York by a vote of 23 to 6:— " Resolved—That, as war now exists between the United States and Mexico, it is the imperative duty of every citizen of this country to sustain its Government in all proper mea sures for the prosecution of the war, in such a manner as our national honour oral interests demand, until it shall be ter minated by an honourable peace. " Resolved—That no peace with Mexico can be regarded as honourable to the United States which shall not secure from that republic full indemnity for the aggressions which it has committed upon the rights of this country and its citizens. " Resolved—That if any territory is hereafter acquired by the 'United Stater, or annexed thereto, the act by which such territory is acquired or annexed, whatever such act may be, should contain an unalterable fundamental article or provision whereby slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, shall be for ever excluded from the territory acquired or annexed. " Resolved—That the Senators in Congress from this state be instructed, and that the Representatives in Congress from this state be requested, to use their best efforts to carry into effect the views expressed in the foregoing resolutions. "Resolved—That the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to each of the said Senators and Representatives." The following resolutions upon the same subject have been passed in both branches of the Pennsylvania Legiala tare—in the House by a vote of 96 to 0, and in the Senate yeas 24, noes 3 : " Whereas, the existing war with Mexico may result in the acquisition of new territory to the Union; Congress having And whereas, measures are now pending in Congress having in view the appropriation of money, and the con ferring authority upon the treaty-making power to t his end ; therefore, " Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met,—That our Senators in Congress be instructed, andou Representatives requested, to vote against any a mea sure sa what ever by which territory will accrue to the Union, unless " Part of the fundamental law upon which any comp act treaty for this purpose is based, slavery or involunta r y servi tude, except for crime, shall be for ever prohibited. " Resolved,—That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing resolution to our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress." We copy from the Phil iclephia North American the fol lowing statement:— " The Secretary of the Treasury will recommend an in crease of 10 per cant. on coal, and 10 per cent. on iron— generally, generally, a reduction of 10 - per cent. on scythes. B, ces , :. • upon which he says the revenue is depreciated by pr niui tion, and in which h e i s d ec id e dly m i s t a ken, for the p olic y has not been fairly tested. He will also recommend 30 per cent. increase on refin e d s ug a r. It will be seen that. these concessions are made for political effect in PelloYlvama and Louisiana. So me o f th e o th er sc h e d u l es arc changed to effe ct other latitudes. He rene w s th e a pplication's made to the House for a tax of 20 per cent, on tea and coffee. Whatever may be the fate of the last proposition, I regard the others to be entirely out of the question." • o n the In the Pennsylvania H ouse o f Representatives he in -23d ult., the Bill for providing for the payment terest falling due on the state debt on the let 00 o f o l . 'a t bruary and Ist of August next, and a pp r opriating 2,0—, 0 dolls. for those purposes, was read a second and third time and passed. From the seat of war there is not any rumoured Mexican that I , gence of moment. It was intel- General Quitman's division and som e troops at Matamoros had had an en g agement, ' s hut no faith was attached to the report. Santa Anna movements were doubtful.

Commodore Connor had dispersed the Ye the squadron along the Mexican coast, to sse ff is ec o tually and rigorously blockade it. The Americana as had cap tured, under a heavy fire, a vessel that was attempting to land her cargo at Anton Lizard°.

From Canada we have late accounts, but the contents are uninteresting. Great exertions were being made to assist the desti tute in Ireland. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. We have given in our last American news' dispatch a report of the New York and other markets, up to the 23d of January. The Hibernia reached Boston on the 25th, when the demand and price of all kinds of provisions were much the same as we quoted on the arrival of the Queen of the West, but no sooner had her advicea be. come known than merchants at once proposed to take advantage of the favourable reports. Higher prices were instantly demanded, and, of course, paid ; and in the course of about twenty-four hours from the time the news became known in New York, the value of every kind of grain and grain produce, rose nearly 25 per cent, above previous prices. A New York paper of the 31stj ultimo contains the following remarks on the subject:— The news brought by the Hibernia, of the advance in cot ton, and particularly in breadstuffs, which was not antici pated, was received here on the 25th, and creat e d an unusual excitement in the mark et, which has continued ever since in per m eal ba BB rrel. to the most animated state. The p rices of cotton ha ve advanced one cent. per pound. Fl our 1 doll. to 1 doll. 25c. Wheat from 30 to 35 cen ts. p er bushel, and corn 100 per barrel. Freights to Liverpool have reached 73. for flour, and 23d. for grain ; v essels continue sca rce. The effect of this intelligence, and the large amount of specie brought out by the steamer, have caused great buoyancy in the money market. According to the manifest, the Hibernia brought 546,0081., but it is asserted that she had fully 3,000,000 dolls. on board. Stocks of every description have advanced, but there was previously an upward tendency, caused partly by the financial measures of the G o vernment, the issue of . Treasury notes instead of proposals for a loan. which capi talists had been led to expect, and partly by a generally prevailing impression, that in consequence of the prosperous condition of our foreign trade money would be abundant. Most of the specie has reached Wall-street. Money• easy at 7 per cent. in the street, and the banks are strong. Foreign Exchange has advanced, but the supply equal to the demand.

We have often laboured to prove that nine-tenths of the entire amount of crime are traceable, not to a natural depravity on the part of the offenders them. selves, but to the vitiated state of society in which they live. The Gaol Chaplain has acquitted himself of his task in a highly meritorious manner; and his book will be read and admired by thousands. It is a book to buy for those who have the means; not merely hire, peruse, and send back to the circulating library. It may be read and re-read with edification. The preface alone is worth all the money re quired for the purchase cf the three volumes; it is an elabo rate and excellent essay upon the nature an d origin of crime —the folly of associating vengeance with punishment—the means of mitigating the vast amount of offences which periodically occupy the attention of criminal judges—and the necessity of studying correction and preventio n rather than the relations of crime and penalty.

If, however, another opinion which is gaining strength be accu rate, that through the large issues of Treasury notes and other causes, there is to be an abundant money market, Foreign Exchange can hardly fall so low.

Mr. Wallace's new opera of Matilda was advertised for performance at this theatre last evening, and judging from the genius which Mr. Wallace has manifested in his opera of Montana, we anticipated a great treat. After waiting until long after seven o'clock, the audience became im patient, and there were loud calls for the manager. At length air. Bunn appeared, leading on Mr. Vincent Wallace, the composer of the opera. Mr. Bunn then addressed the audience, and said—That during the whole course of his life he had never been placed in so unpleasant a situation; that he had made every preparation for the production of the opera, and that within five minutes of the time when the curtain was to have been rung up, he had received a medical certificate stating that Miss Romer was so ill as to be unable to leave her room. Under these circumstances he threw himself upon the generosity of the public. They might have their money back, have tickets for another night, or he would endeavour to substitute some other performance for the one advertised. There were then loud cries of "Overture," and Mr. Bunn w ithd rew, while Mr. Vincent Wallace stepped into the orchestra and conductef the overture—a most tasteful and brilliant composition—full of melody, and some of the effects of which are most telling. In fact, so beautiful is the overture, that we are most anxious to hear the opera ; and if the librettist has at all been equal to the maestro, its success must be certain. At the conclusion of the overture, Harley came forward, and announced that the Bondman would be performed, Miss Messent taking the part which Miss Romer had hitherto taken. This announcement was the signal for a deafening uproar. It was impossible to catch a note of the first act. The dissentients, however, gradually seceded, and the second act was suffered to proceed in something like quietude. Judging from her performance in the second act, we should - say that Miss Messent is a young lady who will advantage greatly by this unlucky accident. She manifested great firmness and great presence of mind in the face of an ad verse audience, and her performance of the music was exact, in good time, in good taste, and artist-like. Placed unex pectedly in the position of a prima donna, she has shown her self equal to the occasion, and we hope to meet Miss Messent on some future occasion, when she will have fair play, and will encounter, instead of an unruly mob, a judicious and a discriminating audience. When such an occasion shall arrive Miss Messent will not be found wanting.

This flood of the potent draught formed an excellent treat to some labouring men, who stretched themselves at length on the ground, and drunk of the beer and rum to their heart's content. — Lynn Advertiser. STOCKINGS FOR TUE ROYAL INFANTS.--The Clare Journal says—" We feel great pleasure in recording an instance of her Majesty's wish to encourage by her pa tronage the native manufactures of Ireland. Two girls, sis ters, of the name of Davies, living in Corofin, in this county, having long enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for the taste and skill evinced by them in the knitting of stockings, were advised to present a pair of them to her Majesty, who was so pleased with the beauty of design and execution dis played in them, as to order four and twenty pair for the royal infants." A GOOD ExAMPLE.—The Constitutionnel publishes the following letter, dated Berlin, 31st ult. :—" A few days since M. Braconier, a stock-broker, was condemned to hard labour for nine yea rs for having gambled with the property of his clients and having ruined himself. M. Braconier is a member of one of the most wealthy families in the capital, and every effort was made by offering to pay his debts to save him from disgrace, but it was too late. It is hoped that his fate will have the effect of preventing other speculators from risking property confided to their care." Miss PARDOE'S LOUIS XIV.
