LORD L. RUSSELL'S ADDRESS

TO THE

ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

(The fullowiag appeared is a poetics of Saturday's im-
pression of the Evros.]
Gentlemen,—more than ten years have elapsed since
I was requested by • depstation of electors to relinquish the
seat which I then occupied, and become a candidate for the
City of Leaden. I was at that time in the enjoyment of
the ea tlidesse of the electors et Stroud, sad I had no res. i
ma to fear that I 'build loss that cosideurie at the ensuing
election • bat I was urged to quit that Meow-able position
oa Ike geosad that the battle of free trade was to be fought,
and that the best field for each • battle was Um metropo-
litan city of the United Kingdom. I ameptsd your invi-
tation, sad after • close contest was elected by • narrow
yony.
TIM proposals which the administration of Lord Ida-
hoan, had laid before parliament bore the character of •
marked bat gradual advance to the policy of fres trade.
The heavy tax on the importation of men was to be ex-
changed foe a flied duty. The differoatial duties on the
imports of foreign sugar and foreign timber were to be
greatly reduced. Them missals wen virtually rejected,
and the ministry of Lord Be boom was at an sad.
Tho policy of Sir Robert Peel from 1842 to 1846 we.
based on the most enlarged priaciples of commercial
freedom. The articles of ems and sugar were indeed
little affected by that policy. But at the end of 1845
Sir It. Peel proposed to his colleague the total, though
gradual, repeal of the duties os corn. He received the sup-
port of the whole liberal party in carrying • bill for this
purpose through both Houses of Parliament. In June,
1846, Sir R. Peel, after accomplishing this great measure,
resigned office. In announcing his retirement be expressed
• hope that his mammon would continue his policy,
namely, the promotion of • free inky's:nuns with tongs
nations._ _ . _

The late ministry fulfilled this hope. In 1818 we
introduced and carried a bill fur the gradual repeal
of the differential duties on sugar. The principle of
that bill is still in •igour, and in July, 1864, the duties
on foreign and colonial sugar will be equal. In 1849 we
proposed and carried the repeal of the navigation laws.
Last Tsar WI equalised the duties en coffee, sad redimed
the differential duties on timber.

At the gams time we have sot been unmindful of those
=at/rests from which at misfit protection was with-
For instance, in osehowity with the suggestions
smatained in the report of • mmimittoe of the llamas of
we reduced by 600ANI. the Map duties, which
pissed heavily on the ow mil Omen of land. With
@Wear views we extended and aderged the advances for
sad agricultural isapeememomsts which had been

•sodesillos el the burdens upon shipping by the

views ounent.
_ _

Ileesures of religious, civil, find emensitrelal liberty
have in oar elm WOO had their origin, theirberiode of
discussion, perhaps of discouragement, have suffered their
hour of crisis and doubtful victory, have had their day of
signal triumph, and finally have taken their place among
our permanent institutions. Thus it has been with the ques-
tion of lteutan Catholic disabilities; thus it has been with
Parliamentary Reform ; thus it is about to be with Free
trees. In this last struggle I have played a secondary but
not unimportant part. it will be no mean glory if, ho-
noured with the name of your representative I shall be
eosbled to promote that great cause which is Shout to obtain
from the electors of the United Kingdom its Anal sad
vocable triumph.
Let it, however. be reeolleeted, that if the adverse party
is to be encountered with success, it must be met by the I
Free-trade Reformers in a body. Large Improvements
in oar laws and administration can only be effected by
the cordial anion and untiring energy of all friends of
enlightened ptognr , eommercul freedom, and civil equality.
I remain gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
J. Roseau..

, THE ELECTIONS.
WINDSOR.—The polling commenced on Saturday
morning at eight o'clock. The numbers were finally de-
clared u follows : Orenfell, 330; Vansittart, 230; Majo-
rity for Mr. °mitten 100.
Blunt/L-1i is understood that a meeting of the
tosservative electors Is to be held this day (Mon-
, day), for the purpose of 'veering from Mr. !Prater
Alleyne M'Oeachy, the candidate to be put furward
by the " Consolidated Conservative Committee," en
exposition of his views. A good deal of dissatisfac-
tion prevails among the party, in censequencie of the
way in which the misting is being got up. There is no
advertisement or placard Issued which would give Anton
a right to present themselves, and the circulars of invitation
have bees withheld from many parties whose views on the
question of free trade are sipposed to go too far, as Mr.
M'Oesehy is a sugar and it is thought a shipping protection-
ist. The meeting will, therefore, mums a " hole sad
corner" character.

EAt? CORNWALL—Mt. AVM' Roberts's, the pre-
sent liberal representative, has lined Ma address to the
electors. The venoms on his behalf is each as to reader his
return safe—at lmot, so his friends semen. The other can-
didates are Mr. Polo Carew, the present conservative mem-
ber, and Mr. Bendel'. The Moroung Vernal* had a stupid
report last week to the effect that Lord John Marren
would be a candidate for this division.

Powremotrra.—Viscount Mon& hen come forward
as a liberal candidate for this borough.
BfiLTYlELD.—Preparatory to the next election
Mr. Roebuck has been addressing his constituents every
evening last week, in the various wards of the borough.
