With our neighbours it is otherwise : centralisation is with them the principle, not only of the constitution, but of public opioinn into the bargain. In this msnner Paris has long continued to be the lawgiver of France. vviiereas London has invested itself with the loftier dignity, and the lesser responsibility of guarding the national interests, and of guiding the national movement by its example. Especially is this shown at the period of general elections. The deci sion of the metropolitan constituencies affects the decision of a very large majority of the provincial constituencies. The conduct pursued by the electors of London becomes contagious. The different boroughs and counties are depressed or elevated, are discouraged or reanimated, according as the polling terminates in London. This fact is indisputable ; it is shown by reference to the Parliamentary Guide Book of the last half century ; and, therefore, are we in a peculiar manner rejoiced at the earnest liberality displayed by our fellow- citizens. Honour I again we exclaim, to the electors of Lon don and Westminster, as well as to those of Finsbury. By placing Lord Joan RUSSELL at the very top of the poll the City constituency has afforded the present Government a splendid mark of approbation, and of encouragement in the midst of the enormous difficulties which yet remain to be vanquished. Great as is the ability of the Administration, staunch as is the dis position of each of its members in the maintenance of a liberal and enlightened policy, it required, never theless, some such emphatic approval and encourage ment as that afforded yesterday by the city of London. Not only was the Prime Minister himself returned, but two of his political associates are returned like wise. Not only are these three Liberal candidates ac cepted in the city of London, in the teeth of a most violent opposition, but Sir DE LACY EvANs and Mr. CHARLES LIISHINGTON obtained the majority of the suffrages in the city of Westminster, even when brought into collision with Lord MANDEVILLE and Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE. London and Westminster have nobly emulated the enthusiasm of Finsbury. The triumphant return of the vopular candidates, DUNCOMBE and WAKLEY, has been iinsmediately followed by the equally triumphant r e t urn a five Liberal candidates—RUSSELL, PATTI. sow , Itcyniscuum, EVANS, and LUSHINGTON-. While we exult over these preliminary victories, we are nevertheless indignant at the path which has been followed in several of the provincial elections. Bath has disgraced itself in the face of the whole country. The constituency of Bath has rendered itself contemptible in the estimation of every honest-minded politician in the empire, by throwing out such a man as Mr. ROEBUCK, after fifteen years of earnest and honourable service. In those fifteen years Mr. ROEBUCK has elevated him self into the position of one of the most distinguished men in the British Parliament, and in so elevating himself he has elevated his constituency. Hence forth we trust that Mr. ROEBUCK will aspire to the representation of some city less remarkable for its fickleness and ingratitude. He is worthy of a con stituency of more steadfast principles and of a more elevated character. The intimidation practised upon the Liberal electors of Bath is something absolutely disgraceful, and the libellous nature of many of the Conservative manifestoes has been little creditable to the opponents of the discarded candidate. Mr. ROE BUCK has at least this consolation, that his honesty has been in no degree compromised. The other elections which have already terminated are duly recorded in our columns, and are in the aggregate most propitious and exhilirating. There is scarcely any topic which can divide the public attention, or obtain a share in the all-absorb ing interest with which the progress of the several elections throughout the country are regarded. A variety of conflicting feelings are excited ; at one moment all is triumph and joyous congratulation for the glorious majorities recorded in favour of the popular candidates and the tried supporters of a Liberal policy—at another, feelings of regret become predominant when we find those who by a long, con sistent, and useful career, had earned golden opinions for themselves, rejected by the constituencies for whom they had laboured with ability and fidelity, and replaced by others of far inferior qualifications, who could put forward no well-grounded claims to the suffrages of the electors. Hitherto in the excite ment prevailing with respect to the contests in this country, the Irish elections have been comparatively lost sight of, and yet at no former period in the his tory of our sister island have so many extraordinary phenomena been apparent as at the present moment. A total change appears to have taken place in the feelings of the different parties. We find, in many instances, those who have heretofore been the most ultra-Tories, the supporters of Protestant ascendency in its most oppressive forms, the unflinch ing opponents of Catholic emancipation, of reform and of every other change by which the religion of the vast majority has been tolerated, and freed from the pains and penalties that formerly were inflicted on its professors, and by which their freedom of con science was fettered and restrained, selected by clubs calling themselves Liberal, as the popular candidates, in opposition to those who bad ever been their warmest friends, and had effectually exerted themselves for the removal of every disability, and the establishment of a perfect equality for Ireland in every civil, political, and religious privilege. A new class have started into existence. Conservative repeaters, independent Irishmen, or by whatsoever names they delight to call themselves, are all Tories in disguise, who for a brief period consent to favour the popular delusion; and, being well aware of the utter imprac ticability of the proposition, declare themselves the advocates for a repeal of the legislative union sub sisting between the countries, while, in all other re spects, they maintain and avow their ancient Orange propensities, and their scarcely disguised antipathy to the religion of the people, and to every question supported and desired by the popular leaders. The veteran Patriot who so long guided and di rected the fellings of the people has, unfortunately, been removed. His sagacity and wisdom is sadly wanting at the present crisis to preserve his coun trymen from the folly which they are about to perpetuate, while the most avowed and open ene mies of the people are suffered to walk over the course and to obtain their seats without a contest ; or, still worse, are supported by those whom they desire to trample on and keep down, and with whom they are at variance on every point, in preference to the men who conscientiously differ in one respect only, and who should have earned, by their previous conduct, the undying gratitude of the people, but which is capriciously withheld by the fickle and unstable mul titude. Thus we find the Orange candidates unop posed in that metropolis which for three successive Parliaments had returned th e Lib era t or an d a congen i a l associate. What ca n h ave b een di scovered i n the past services of Messrs. GROGAN and GREGORY to disarm the opposition which had previously been offered to their return ? Is it to their fanatical resistance to the increased grant to Maynooth, and the more decent provision for the education of the future pastors of the people, and their more fitting preparation for the discharge of their sacred duties, that they owe their more favourable reception, or is it ascribable to their rabid hostility to the national system of education, or to the fame acquired by Mr. GREGORY for his intro. duction of the " celebrated quarter-acre" clause, and that for providing an emigration fund out of the rates for the relief of the poor in the recent statute ? W e can easily conceive how these acts would have enhanced their merits in the eyes of the Tory landlords, and those who de sire to have every possible facility afforded for the enjoyment of their favourite propensity, the clear ance of their estates, and the banishment of the wretched cottiers from their humble holdings; but how they can be approved of by the metropolitan constituency of Ireland we are at a loss to conceive. Again, the county of Dublin, which from 1826 to 1841,. bad been represented by Liberals, and in bafyteraatmrioasint trifling majority , contest, two Tories were s w e h are h d , is, it is said, about to re turn o n th t without the slightest effort for itsltlib. eehreaotlli d a o s n t fi e re l om e m c b t i et o rh n ae: thraldom in which it is placed unnece ssary is abed. to d multiply instances; a similar result m in various other counties and boroughs , isovere while the accomplished, the honest, the indefatigable THOMAS WYSE—the brilliant and effective orator RICHAR D LALOR SHElL—the Liberal Secretary for Ireland, whose recent appointment to that high office oug h t ' to have afforded the best proof to his countrymen of the friendly feelings entertained towards them by her MAJESTY s Government, and of the auspicious measures that are contemplated for the future b ene fi t of Ireland—are to be opposed with the greatest activity and virulence. Shame, shame to the Irish people if they cohtihue to pursue so for the twin cities of the metropolis. Nothing cou ld by possibility be more indicative of the ardent l ove 0 political reform which animates at enormous this mo ment the vast bulk of the population. T divisions of party, the virtual abdication of theCn servstive chieftains, the utter annihilation of o the system of protection, the installation in office of those statesmen aand their colleagues who have been foremost in aiding in the destruction of constitutional abuses— in carrying through the Houses of Legislature the g reat measure of Parliamentary Reform, in emanci pating the Catholics, in forwarding the Test and Corporation Act, in sustaining the cause of national education, in striving for the prevention of famine in Ireland, in maintaining the necessity of sanitary in novations, and, above all, in assisting Mr. Va.- Adz?", Mr. COBDEN, and Sir ROBERT PEEL in giving freedom to the commerce of the British em pire —,41 these things com bine d have vanquished Toryism and imparted ir resistible Slirtagonists . ..

In England the influence of the metropolitan conotinuency is rather an influence of divergence than of collo' , ntration. The abilities of the provincialists acr oss the Channel all merge towards the great city 10 . 11 th e banks of the Seine. A contrar y transmission is visible in our insular territories. Paris is France, _because it is the accumulation of all the talents, of all the ardo ar, of all the antagonism, and of all the civic assiduity of the entire population.

It is not a time when the shouhis be forgetful of all that h been (lore by Engl , t7.l(l oT their behalf during the season of their adversity, or make an unreasoning hostility to the English con nexion the sole criterion by which the merits and qua lifications of the several candidates is to be tested and estimated. A Letter from Berlin, in a Frankfort journal of the 26th, states that two English missionaries had arrived at Berlin from Cracow, the Austrian authori ties not having permitted them to fix their residence at Cracow, notwithstanding the intercession of the British Ambassador at Vienna, who received for re ply that it was contrary to law to tolerate religious missionaries in any part of the Austrian territories. Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The Gageta denies that there is any truth in the statement that the Minister-at-War had sent a copy of his letter to the King's major-domo to the chiefs of the palace. The KING drives into Madrid every day. The Ministers had left for La Granja, to attend the QUEEN'S levee. - According to the Clamor Publico the 25th was the day fixed for the Carlist outbreak in Navarre and the Basque provinces. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 23.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17*, and the Debt without interest at 51. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. In the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, the Marquis DE Boissr asked the Minister of Justice whether it was the intention of the Government to institute any inquiry into the charges made by the Courrier Fran cais with respect to grants of mines in Algeria, made to M. TALABOT. M. HEBERT, the Minister of Jus tice, replied that the matter was already before the tribunals of justice, and that he was confident the result would be to exonerate the Government from any reproach or suspicion. The Debats, in commenting upon this explanation, says it cannot be complained that it is wanting either in decision or firmness, and asks what more in good faith could be demanded ? CITY, QI 1 ,1:1)TER TO THREE, The er.)ttoo Marlzq ^t Livprpool yi=tercifly v 7 :s tirtrit nr,d increat•ed to :5,000 beii , g time_ rican. There were 2,000 bales on speculation. In Railway Shares the business done was on a very limited scale, but prices were firm. The exchange comes over higher again from Ham burgh, vi 2., 13.5 k, with the price of gold at 431. A material decline is again to be noted in the value of grain in Mark-lane to-day, the arrivals continuing large, and the indisposition to buy as great as ever. There Is us an important matter under the consi deration of the Candadian Legislature when the advices per Caledonia were sent over, being no thing less than the question of free-trade. The Colonial Government were prepared to do away with all differential duties existing in favour of British pro ducts, with the exception of the copyright, and to establish, in lieu thereof, a modified and uniform tariff for revenue purposes, besides lightening the burdens on shipping. It is mentioned, also, as being the intention of the Government to lighten, as much as possible, the tolls on the St. Lawrence canals. The Government is also prepared to give increased facilities to the following points connected with the commerce of the coun try, via., to extend the warehousing system in ' every direction where the requirements of trade and the existence of ports of entry and exports, with the requi site establishment, will permit; to facilitate the transfer of property in warehouse; to simplify the system of the transport of merchandise, ex-ship, or ex-warehouse, for exportation without payment of duty; to lighten the mode of giving bonds for goods in warehouse, or under guarantee for exportation. The enumeration of the usual heads is as follows: To do away with differential duties in favour of British products. To reduce shipping charges 8,0001. a-year. To reduce tolls on the canals. To extend the warehousing system. To facilitate the transport and exportation of goods without payment of duty. To simplify the taking of bonds for warehousing. The National, however, takes another, and, in our opinion, a more just view of the subject. It says— " M. de Boissy, yesterday, spoke of the matter iu the Chamber of Peers, and M. Hebert, faithful to the strange system which he appears to have adopted in matters of administrative scandal, hastenA to declare that the Go vernment did not judge it necessary to institute an in quiry. What! one of the members of the Cabinet is gravely compromised! Each dat brings new queries re lative to facts incriminating in the highest degree the war department, and yeti think you have a right to remain inactive? We do not live in a time when it is permitted to disdain attacks of this kind. What signify your de nials for the public? no yon believe that it forgets that the persons whom the Court of Peers has just visited with chastisement, also repelled with hide:nation the calumny of which they pretended to be the victims. And if the proceedings at one time furnrd aside from the true path, had not, thanks to a happy chance, recovered the trace of the truth, would not M. Teste, in Otis seat of Peer and judge, be entitled to proclaim in the face of the country his innocence, a moment unacknowledged ? And, besides, were it true that the President of the Council had no need to be justified, it would still be ne cessary, in the interest of the administration, to take the initiative in an investigation. May the accusation pass above the head of the (Ad Marshal; we desire it for his military glory, which is ours also. But the matter does not refer to him alone. Have we not heard the n,,mes of several of your functionaries pronounced? M. de None, chef de division of Public Works; M. Imbault, of the civil list M. de Vauchelle, formerly director of the bureaux in tu A t ihso l asn g ns e r rt iooeajf prove etr the onevde that Courrier; ai n tth o tu t hua M. Talabot without it examination nwala sh ain deputy dnp fact teis ? M an plain du n a easier Hebert er calumnies.tuassak But how can faith be placed in the words of the Minis ter, when, in the very discussion which occupies our attention, he is caught in the very act of telling a lie ? Of what avail is a certificate of innocence from a man who, knowingly misleading the Chamber of Peers, dares affirm, that in the action brought by MM. Talabot j against the Courrier Francais, the proceedings will re ceive every possible development ? What ! MM. Talabot prosecute a journal for libel I by the terms of the law the proof is not admitted ; the proceedings can not even be published ; and M. Helbert, who knows all this, speaks of 'the great development to be given to the case.' A cause, in which the consideration of a Mi nister, the honour of a member of the elective Chamber, the probity of five or six functionaries are concernei, dies away, hushed up in the Correctional Tribunal, and we are gravely told that it is from that that the light is to issue? What is the use of these vain subterfuges ? Why not avow plainly that it is not expedient to sup port the &lag of a public trial ? There would be in such a course a certain boldness which, for our part, would probably inspire us with less disgust than the miserable expedients dictated by lying and hypocrisy. With respect to the Courtier, as in the case of the Ptesse, the Minister of Justice might reply, at his risk and peril, that in order to prosecute, it would be necessary to be lieve.' The country would have judged, as ithas already done, the value of this declaration, but at least the Go • vernment would have been spared the shame of adding a culpable denial of justice to the shame of an evident falsehood." It is not the intention of the Government in any way to depart from the present mode of raising a revenue for the public service, viz., that of Customs ; on the con trary, rather to increase it, to enable it to bear the shipping changes just spoken of, the difference of inte rest on the Quebec loan, and the heavy demands which the immigration this year may be expected to make on the provincial revenues. It is confidently expected, hoWever, that the cost to the consumer will be reduced by throwing open to him the cheapest market. We speak now with reference more particularly to the British produces. The Funds, after opening firmly, have given way upon one or two sales made, but there is very little doing.

M. Hebert having given his assurance that the trial should be as complete as possible, we declare, with Viscount Dubouchage, that we are convinced that the Tribunal of Correctional Police, before which proofs are not admissible, will send the Courrier Francais before a jury." The attempts of the police to get up an enzeute, as an excuse for letting loose the troops on the people have hitherto happily proved abortive. We are re joiced to find that the people attend to the excellent advice given them by the National to remain tran quil, and not afford their enemies an opportunity for obtaining a victory over them.

An increased supply of English Wheat has been re ceived up to our market this week, it having amou n t e d to 3,210 quarters. The stands were fairly supplied with samples, several of which were the refuse of Monday, owing to which, the continuance of fine weather f or th e crops, and the large imports o f Foreign Grain, the de mand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was ex cessively heavy, and, to have effected sales, a decline in the quotations from Monday, of fully 3s per quarter, must have bee n su b m i tte d t o; but the tran sactions were so limited th at pr i ces were a lmost nominal.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) lames Allan:, coachman to Samuel Cohen, Esq., No. ii, Sthsex-terrace, Hyde-park, was placed before Mr. Hantwiek, charged with wilfully damaging a cab, and assaulting John Harding, the driver, and also with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. The complainant stated that about half-past eight o'clock this morning, he was driving his cab along Par liament street, towards the House of Lords. On arriving at the corner of Bticlge .street, a carriage and pair of horses, driven by the defendant, drove sharply round, and ran foul of witness's cub, knocking down his horse, and breaking both shafts of his cab. Witness jumped off tne box and ran to his horse, when he heard some one call out, "Goon ; it's all right." The de fendant then drove on at a rapid rate along George street, and up King-street. Witness followed him as fast as he could, and eventually came up with him in Regent-street, just as he was in the act of setting a gen tleman down. Witness went up to him and informed him of the damage he had done, and asked him for his address. Defendant refused to give it to him, and he began to flog his horses, in order to get away. Witness laid hold of the horses heads, when the defendant cut at him with his whip three or four times,'and did all he could to make the horses knock him clown. Witness then called out, " Police," and after the lapse of a few minutes a constable came to his assistance, and took the defendant into custody. Subsequently to his being taken into custody, some person inside the carriage tendered a card to the constable, which he had since ascertained was a false address. Police constable 149 E, said he was on duty in Ox ford -street, about half-past ten o'clock this morning when he heard the cry of " Police" proceed from Regent street. He immediately proceeded to the spot and saw the last witness holding the horses' heads, and the de fendant whipping him and trying to getaway. Witness on being informed of the circumstances of the case, laid hold of the horses, and refused to let the defendant go till he had given his address. The defendant refused, and threatened to flog him if he did not let his horses alone. Witness still persisted in detaining him, when he struck him across the bands with his whip. Witness then sprung his rattle for assistance, and on the arrival of another constable, the prisoner was taken to the station. Police constable, 81 C, was on duty in Oxford-street, when he heard the noise of a rattle. He proceeded to Regent-street, and saw last witness, who had hold of defendant's horses. The defendant whipped him (the witness) severely across the hands. Witness went to the carriage and asked a lady inside for her address. She told him to ask a gentleman who was on the box. He did so; but the coachman told him not to give it. With the assistance of the other constable witness took defendant into custody. The gentleman afterwards gave him a card, bearing the address of Francis Lyons Price, Parthenon Club, Regent-street. He had since ascer tained that it was not the right address. In defence, the prisoner called his master, Mr Samuel Cohen, who stated that he was sitting by the side of de fendant on the box, when the accieent took place. The .cabman was ou his wrote : side of the road, and in en deavouring to get out of the way his carriage, the nor. , h fell down. He thought nothing more of the mat ter till they arrived in Regent-street, when the defendant came and laid hold of his horses' heads, and bawled out for the police, who speedily came, and without hearing hat hi had to say, proceeded to drag the coachman from off his box with the most brutal violence. • He had been in many countries, and must say he never saw such en unnecessar) degree of violence, even towards the most hardened culprit. As to the card of address that was purely accidental. He had a number of cards in his pocket, and he gave that thinking it was his own. Mr. HARDWICK, after condemning in strong terms the conduct of the defendant, said that his master was equally as culpable as he was. It was his (Mr. Cohen's) duty, when he saw the cabman's horse knocked down, to have cause .I his coachman to stop, instead of which he allowed him to drive on in order to escape th e l aw. Even % hen the complainant asked for his card it was re fused, and when the constables came up he sat quietly oit the box, and allowed his coachman to flog them with his whip. If the card of address had been given in the first instance all the alleged violence of the police would not have taken place. He really could not allow the circumstance of assaulting the police to pass over, and should fine him 40s. for the assault on the complainant, 255. for damage done to the cab, and ten days' impri sonment in the House of Correction for assaulting the police. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Timkins, a journeyman baker, formerly in the employment of Mr. Andrew Nicholl, 5, Cardigan-place, Hoxton New-town, was charged with embezzling va rious sums of money belonging to his master. Mr. Nicholl stated that the prisoner was in his em plo3ment up to the 13th of June, 1846. The prisoner had, up to within a few days of his leaving witness's establishment, been exerting himself most sedulously among his customers in obtaining the moneys due from them to witness. Witness had been a very great sufferer by the delinquences of the prisoner, but he would prefer confining himself to the two bills now produced, viz., one for 1/. 3s 7d., and another for 1/. Os. 60., and which bore the prisoner's receipt. Edward Ball,. a police-constable of the N division, and belonging to the detective force, said he had been looking out for the prisoner for the last twelve months. Yesterday he succeeded in capturing him at a low house in the purlieus of Drury-lane. The prisoner reserved what he had to say, and was fully committed for trial. We perceive that Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, takes his benefit tomorrow even ing, which closes the present successful season. Mrs. Nisbett returns from the provinces to give Mr. Webster her support ; and Mr. John Parry assists upon the same occasion. The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Web. star for the manner in which he has so long conducted his establishment, and for the liberal and indefatigable spirit with which, under a ll c i rcumstances, he has striven to maintain the legitimate drama at the little Haymarket. The good old ecmedies, which under his II anagement have been revi ve d, an d the very good new comedies, which, by his encouragement and under his direction, have been produced, attest to his desire to serve the drama as a faithful servant, and the public as an equally industrious caterer. We heartily wish Mr. Webster a bumper to-m , ,rrow evening ; and we recom mend ali playgoers not to forget one who has so well se membered them. Toe late Charles May, Esq., of Cobham, Berks, has bequeathed 2004 to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, and directed his executors to invest 400/. in the Three per Cent.

One o'clock as the hour appointed for the official de claration of the poll, but long before that hour the Guildhall was crowded to excess in every part. Shortly after twelve o'clock Lady John Russell, ac companied by the Countess of Minto, and several other ladies connected with the successful candidates, entered a side gallery, and upon being recognised by the SISiCLII bled multitude were loudly and vin rously Owered. Shortly after one o'clock Lord John Russell, Mr. Pat tison, Sir G. Lsrpent, and Baron Rothschild, made their appearance on the platform, accompanied by Jones Loyd, Esq., Abel Smith, Lei., Sir Moses Montefiore, Alderman Humphery, and several of their movers and seconders, members of their committees, and numerous other influential supporters and friends of the Liberal cause. The cheering, which, followed their appearance was most tremendous, and lasted for several minutes. Mr. Freshfield, and the other Conservative candidates, and their supporters, were received with various marks of disapprobation. Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS came forward, and stated that, upon casting up the poll, he found the numbers to be as-- follows : Lord John Russell ... James Pattison, Esq. ... Baron Lionel de Rothschild John Masterman, Esq. ... Sir G. Larpent B. C. L. Bevan, Esq. ... Alderman Johnson ... J. W. Freshfield W. Payne ... . , 7,137 ... 7,030 ... 6,792 ... 6,722 ... 6,719 ... 5,268 ... 5,069 ... 4,704 ... 513 The announcement of the return of Mr. Masterman, and the numbers of the other Conservative candidates, was received with yells, hisses, hootings, and other marks of disapprobation, which lasted for some time. Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS then declared Lord John Rus sell, James Pattison, Esq., Baron Lionel de Rothschild, and J. Masterman, Esq., to be duly returned Members to serve in the ensuing Parliament for the city of London. Lord Jonx RUSSELL then stood forward, and was re ceived with tremendous cheering, and waiving of hats and handkerchiefs from the ladies' gallery, which lasted for several minutes; silence having been restored, the Noble Lord proceeded to say—Gentlemen, I will now venture to address you for a few minutes, to return you my thanks for the honour which you have done, not only in electing me again to be returned to Parliament as the Member for the city of London, but also for the eminent distinction which you have conferred upon me, of placing me at the head of the poll.—(Loud cheers.) I consider that your so acting is a great triumph for the principles of the Reform Act—(Cheers)--for it was said, when that Act was under discussion, that it would be im possible for any one to be concerned in carrying on the Government of this great empire and at the same time retain the confidence of large and popular bodies of the constituents. It must be admitted that it was not possible that such elections should take place, together with such a system of government as was useful for the interests of the country, unless the Member who was thus concerned in the administration of affairs was ready to brave temporary unpopularity upon certain political questions, and never to shrink from his duty while he thought that he saw the clear path of public interest before him—(Cheers)—neither was it possible, it the constituents, making no allowance for the difficulties of the Government, making no allow ance for transient differences of opinion, should insist that upon all questions their Members should represent their own opinions, and should give effect to those opi nions upon every particular ewe which might have to be given in the Commons [louse of Parliament. 1 trust that we may all of us say--I on my part as the Member, you on your part as electors of this great city— that we have not shrunk from that profession of duty which belongs to us upon those great questions affecting the public interests.—(Loud cheers.) I trust that I may say that in carrying on the business of Par liament, whether I was one of those who was a Member of what was called " the Opposition," but which was not in effect the Opposition, or whether I was concerned in the government of the country, I have not shrunk from the performance of all my duties. —(Loud cheers.) Whether I were right in the opinions I formed, or whether I were mistaken in my judgment upon particular questions, I trust that no base desire to preserve a vote in the House of Commons contrary to the dictates of my conscience—(Cheers)--no mean feel ing of shrinking from temporary unpopularity, has guided my course while I have been in office.— (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have only to give you my hearty and grateful thanks, not presuming that all those who have done me the honour to the amount of 7,000 electors of recording their votes for me, not that I presume to think that each part of my conduct has met with your approbation, but I have to thank you because that, seeing the exigencies of the Government, seeing the difference there is and always must be be tween carrying into effect great principles in the mode in which it seems alone practicable, and conforming in every detail to that which may be the prevailing opinions of the moment, that you have acted with for bearance, with indulgence, and with generous confidence to one who, however unworthy of that confidence, still telt that he was conscientiously performing that which he thought was his duty.—(Tremendous cheering.) In that respect, Gentlemen, this election has been in my person a great triumph for the civil liberty of the coun try.—(Cheers.) In other respects it has been a great triumph for the commercial liberties of the country, for although, gentlemen, with the greatest personal respect and regard for Mr. Masterman—(Hisses)—l confess that I am disappointed in the fourth return at this election.—(Loud cheers.) Still, Gentlemen, I think, considering what happened in the year 1841, considering the votes which were given in the last year by Mr. Masterman, considering what has since hap pened in that interval, that it is a great triumph for the principles of commercial liberty that we see the re turn which has now been made.—(Loud cries of " No Masterman"' "We won't have him.") Gentlemen, I believe that all the best statesmen of this day believe that with the progress of commercial freedom is linked the progress of this country in wealth and happiness.— (Loud cheers.) I believe that these principles, of which we have been the advocates, are the true prin ciples for the b,•nefit of this country, and I cannot ex pect that there will be any reaction on this sub ject.—(Cheers) I expect that the Parliament which is a' out to be elected will confirm those laws which were enacted in the late Parliament, th.l doing away with the duties upon corn— (Cheers) and the deferential duties upon sugar—(Loud cheers) and by that means allowiog the people of Eng land all the advantages which are to be obtained by the free competition with the other naticns of the world. And can any of us doubt that that there is in the midst 44f this great metropolis, in the midst of a metro polls that has risen to a size, and wealth, and prosperity, which I believe to be unt - xampled in the history of the globe—(Loud cheers)—cart I have any doubt that in that competition with other nations—(At this moment Mr. Masterman made his appearance on the platform, which produced the greatest uproar and con fusion. Order having been in some measure restored) — The Noble Lord resumed, " Can I' doubt, tie ntlemen i , that this great country, with the commerce and wee ti, to which it has arisen—with this metropolis as the sign and symbol of that prosperity—will he able to equal, to surpass, perhaps to distance all the other natiens of the globe in that rice of free competition.—(Loud cheers.) Having expressed in the absence of Mr. Masterman my personal regard for him, let me add here, that I was rejoiced to find that in the great contest of the last year in that suc cessful attempt to free corn and other articles from the heavy and injurious duties imposed upon them, that Mr. Mastermau was one of those who voted for the repeal of those duties.—(Cheers and laughter.) Such, Gentlemen, is the progress we have made in the course of six years in the great question of comm e r c i a l freedom. (Cheers.) And now I will touch upon another subject, connected with which the present return is no less a triumph—a triumph of the principle of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers.) I am happy to say that, although the progress has not been so quick, although the progress of the nation in the principles of religious freedom has not been so rapid as that to which II have already adverted, yet, if we look back some forty years, and consider that then religious intolerance was in its prime and vigour —that in that cause " No Popery" had raised a powerful and predominant cry against those who differed from ourselves upon religious sub jects, but that the day was now come when the disabilities which affected the Protesta',ts Dissenters, when the disabilities which affected the Roman Catholics having been removed, that the day is now come whon you have declared, by the election of Baron Rothschild, that the day has now arrived for the removal of the last vestiges of religious intolerance— (Cheers)—and that hereafter the privilege of a free public of this United Kingdom —the privilege to serve the Crown—the privilege to represent the people in Parliament, are to be enjoyed by all the subjects of her Majesty, without dis Unction of religious persuasions.—(Loud cheers.) Can I doubt that such a decision on the part of the elec tors of the city of Londoniwill have its weight, its great weight, I should say its prevailing weight—(Loud cheers)—and that we shall see that the next Parliament will have the glory of establishingand proclaiming at once the completion of the great social edifice of cieil, com mercial, and religious fr. edorn.—(Tremendous cheering.) Gentlemen, I have said in an early part of what I have addressed to you that I had to thank you for the election and liberal confidence with which you have entrusted me. a Minister of the Crown, with the duties of your repre,entative.—(Loud cheers.) I con sider that it would be inconsistent with that con fidence—it would be iiiconsistent with those duties—it' 1 now attempt to sketch out to you what would be inycourse in the ensuing Parliament, so long as I think that my advice to the Sovereign may be a benefit to the peoide of the United Kingdom, I shall endeavour to discharge that duty to the best of my power and abilities.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded amid. t loud chart-s, by say ing ti at he to ok leave ef them, giving them again Ids grab ful thanks, and the expressing his ardent wishes, for the prosperity, the liberty, and the continued wealth of that great city. The other candidates then addressed the electors. Their addresses will be given fully in our Third • WESTMINSTER —('i HIS DAY.) DECLARATION OF TIE POLL.
