REPRFZENTATION OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

Yesterday • meeting was held at the London
Tavern, to consider what cups should be adopted with re-
ference to the future representation of London. There
were present about 203 of the most intluential liberal votas
of the City.
OEORGE PRESCOTT, Esq., having been called to the
chair, in brief bet terse terms urged nine the meeting the
neceseity of listening calmly to the matter which would be
brought under their consideration, and the purpose for
which they had met, that of determining the future repro-
sentation of the city of Londuu, and called on Mr. Raikea
Conic to more the first resolution.

Mr. RAIKES CURIUM, in a speech of much eio-
guenee, commented on the services that Lord John Russell I
had rendered to the mime of progress, civilisation, and I
reform, and this asap sense that the free traders of the
alio( Leaden felt for hie exertions, although they

sib of Loam ought to be desirous that no division

Led Jan Russell had nobly supported the Jewish
Di. ties Bill, and it ought to be their determination
to show that in the election ot Baron liothschild, as one of
their members, they entertained the opinion they should
be removed, and reiterate that opinion by his re-election at
the neat dissolution of parliament, and t wean the cause

battle, and the resolution pledged the meeting to do eo
collectively. He then moved a resolution to the effect that
at the neat general election for the City of London, the
names of Lord John Russell, Baron Rothschild, and Sir
James Duke should be put collectively, and that they
should be invited to stand for the representation of the
City—the meeting pledging itself to give them their

Mr. STEVENS thought the meeting ought not to divide
upon a point such as they had been called upon to consider
because there was a little disagreement between them.
They bad but one candidate present—Baron Rothschild,
whom he much esteemed. It was not possible he could
tame his seat, end the citizens of London ought now to
express their determination as to the course they would
pursue.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN. Mat 24.
The Premien of this morning says :—" One of the
and extensive mercantile firms in Ireland, Messrs.
Sinclair and Boyd, of Belfast, have been compelled to
suspend payment this week, and unless some favour-
able arrangement is made enabling them to con-
tinue their operations, the consequences must be
most calamitous, the connexions of the house being
very wide-spread, and their transactions most exten-
sive. Their liabilities have been set down at
300,0001., 450,0001., and 700,00 W., by various reports,
but ere consider these statements to be greatly exag-
gerated, and that from 80,0001. to 120,0001. will be
perhaps nearer the mark.
Mr. Somers has published a long address to his
constituents vindicating himself against the various
charges which have been from time to time made
against him. Various rumours arc afloat to the effect
that neither Mr. Sheriff Swift, in Sligo, nor Mr.
Bowyer, in Louth, will stand the fight at the elec-
tion ; but in the case of Mr. Bowyer, at least, this
report is not probable.
Mr. Grattan has commenced his canvass in Meath
with some appearance of success, several of the con-
servative voters having. promised him their support.
Mr. M. O'Connell has just completed a second can-
vass of Tralec, and feels assured of re-election.
Mr. J. S. Close, Q.C., a distinguished ornament of
the Irish bar, and a gentleman of the highest prin-
ciple and worth, expired on Saturday, after a linger.
ing illness. Mr. Close is deeply regretted by the
citizens at large.
The Tablet states that a letter has been received
from a Roman catholic colonial bishop now is Rome,
announcing that the cardinals had determined to re-
etesassol the appointment of Dr. Cullen to the Pope.
'ille one organ gives us the following account of
anfigensab which have been determined on,
ail wide ass Y affair way of practical adoption, for
trLawhillima d the nom= catholic church in
e"..lieas et GM sees in England, except one, the holy see
dowstel the erection of a chapter, consisting of twelve
MUMS sad a superior, under some title or other which Is
set to he dean. In the excepted diocese, wo understand
that it is supposed there are not sufficient materiels for a
chapter, and therefore none lure been established. In the
ease of an episcopal vacancy in any diocese an absolute ma-
jority of the chapter, that is, at least seven votes, and aloof;
with them the bishops of the province, are to have the privi-
lege of recommending as in Ireland, three names of priests
to fill up the vacancy; of course it is not to be understood that
Y linalarid any more than in Ireland, the holy see meta
with its absolute power of nomination and appointment;
but in both countries the same method substantially has
been adopted, of learning tho local wishes and opinions
which, wherever higher considerations do not intervene,
the holy sec in its prudence, is always most desirous teem-
salt and to conciliate. In addition to this movement to- I
ward a perfect hierarchy, the Supreme Pontiff has given
" fixity of tenure" in England, to • certain number of
clergymen, who are to be in the nature of Parish priests,
but who are to be distinguished by another name—
" missionary rectors."
