LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 30.
Tna city of London has nobly done its duty in
pving: the electoral signal to the empire. It has
laced at the head of the poll the first liberal states-
man of the day. notwithstanding the heavy draw-
backs upon his popularity neeesitated by his
official position. It is a bold step for any
prime minister to stand for a large, mitred,
and popular constituency, that, too, which is the
centre of excitement, the great field of the calum-
niator, and in which the possessor of office ine-
vi'obly creates a sentiment of obloquy, rather than
of attachment or respect. Nevertheless the good
sense and liberal feeling of the constituency of I,oa-
don have overcome all such objections, and triumphantly
returned the first minister of the crown. An uncom-
promising liberal takes place next to hint. A great
capitalist and an enlightened merchant are next
placed above their competitors, from the known libe-
rality of their principles. And not a conservative—
not even one Peelite conservative—is chosen to repre-
sent the metropolis in 1847.
Let us hope that the electors of Lambeth will not
be behind their brethren of London, and that they
will pay a similar tribute of gratitude to a trusty and
practical reformer like Mr. II; eras ; nor visit upon
!I'm, as crimes, the necessities of office, without
which government itself is impartible. Tidings of
the country elections show that the citizens of the
leading towns take the same view as those of London,
and refuse to reject known and tried liberals, to
please the sickly piques and fancies of the non-con-
formists. Leeds has rejected ST URGE, Halifax
will none of MIALL, Norwich has returned Pero,
all in contradiction to the anti-educationists.
In Liverpool, notwithstanding the anti-popery
agitatoa,Buten and CARD WELL are at thehead of the
poll. Proofs, in short, are hourly appearing, that,
el:hough the frnatics of the country may make most
noise, the braying of their trumpets makes slight im-
pression on the calm and confident liberalism of the
ma j ority.
'We wish we could include the universities in this
judgment. But the " forty-horse" person power pre-
vails over these clerical constituencies, which as usual
Ofevery effort towards their own destruction.
the critical state of the church we may judge
frcm facts, such as the 'ridden cloud of unpopularity
befalling the prime minister for simply seeking to
carry into effect the previously unopposed recom-
mendations of a parliamentary commission. Add to
this the declaration of such a man as Sir JAMEB
GRAHAM, that the church of England had no
more to expect from parliament or people. Such
a state of the church of England, and of public
opinion respecting it, requires, above all things,
able, enlightened, and liberal representatives, men
having links and sympathies with public opinion, and
thereby skilled and powerful to stem it. At such a
time, Cambridge seems prepared to return a boy,
Lord FEILDING. We are glad, however, to learn
that the state of the poll yesterday is no fair criterion
of the probable result. Mr. LAW had polled all his
parsons, whilst Mr. LEFEVER'S friends were still en-
Win other elections. The promised votes are
ent to ensure his election. Let us hope they
will not be wanting.
The rejection of Mr. Rotel:ex at Bath is very
much to be regretted. His only consolation must be,
that he was opposed by one who has too many claims
upon the support of all classes of society not to form
a very formidable antagonist. It is possible and de-
sirable, that some other constituency, ill provided
with a liberal representative, may take up Mr. ROE-
BUCK at the eleventh hour, and return him to parlik-
ment. In the great lack of radical candidates, at
once talented and trustworthy, Mr. ROEBUCK'S being
excluded from parliament seems extraordinary.
Sir EDWARD LYTTON RULWER, we Bee, has failed
at Lincoln, a had proof of the claims of intellect
being duly appreciated at the hustings. It was
a fault of the election of 1831, that they set
aside most talented men, if their talent was not
of a rude and business-like nature. We perceive
this extreme carried still further in the _ present
election. Should SerjellEt TALFOCED, Mr. MILERS,
Mr. Sammie, and similar spirits, find their high
claims Blighted by the electors, we may in due time
boast of parliaments more and more unlettered. Pre-
vious to the Reform Bill, this was not the case. And

people will inquire, whether the capacities for busi-
ness in the house have at all increased by the rule
which incapacitates men of letters from sitting.

Or the vices which degrade human nature there is
not one more detestable than ingratitude ; and it is
with pain we find our Irish fellow-subjects behaving
to some of their own countrymen in a fashion that
emites at once disgust and indignation. Ireland
does not possess at the present day two men who
deserve better than THOMAS WYSE and RICHARD
LALoa SHER.. The first of these gentlemen is
respected and admired by all who love philanthropy
and cultivate science. His labours for Irish educa-
tion have been ceaseless. He was the real founder of
the national system, under which Irishmen of every
creed oan find instruction. As a scholar, his attain-
ments are no less extensive than profound. But all
these considerations are disregarded by a heart-
less and headless faction, who insist on the
ejectment of every man from the parliamentary
representation who will not swallow the pledge
of repeaL The strenuous labours of Mr. Wyse
in the cause of emancipation, previous to its con-
cession in 1829 ; the exertions of his family prior
to that time (for the WYSES of Waterford are
historically identified with the Irish catholies) ; the
honourable distinction which he has attained in the
world of letters—these claims are valued as nothing
by the silly and ignorant zealots of repeal. Have
the electors of Waterford any sense of shame?
Mare they any gratitude ? Alas! we fear that
many of them have allowed the cant of Irish agita-
tion to debauch their minds and pervert their under-
standings. Their conduct to Mr. WYSE is disgusting.
Arun, at Dungarvan, an opposition is offered to
Mr. Nan,. All the brilliant armee of that distin-
guished man am forgotten. His effective advocacy
of the rights of the catholic§ tells nothing in his
favour. Him spirited vindications of Ireland, often
ireti4q undertrying circumstances, these now-a-days count
for n t. His name is honourably associated with
; but his grateful countrymen—the gasmen.
leidu whose "heart" we hear their tribunes speak
so much—despise the services of a life in their cause.
Mr. JOHN AecnsEes O'NEILL, of Conciliation-hall
notoriety, the gentleman popularly known as "Mr.
Disgust us O'NEILL," is to oast Mr. &MIL
from Dungarvan. So the repealere—the patriots
of Ireland—have resolved. The more wretched
tools, the pitiful puppets of the repealer', are
to be returned to the House of Commons,
and men pre-eminent in parliamentary eloquence,
skilled in those noble intellectual accomplish-
ments which illustrate and beautify human nature—
these men are to be spurned by the generous (?)
people of Ireland !
We really can scarcely believe that the electors of
Dengarvan and Waterford can be so lost to all semis
of decorum as to drive such Irishmen as WYSE and
SHEIL from the representation. Shame!—shams apes
the abettors and advisers of such proceedihng as the
eriters are now exhibiting. Ireland, their
advioe, must reject a THOMAS WYSE, and a DLL-
Low Bsowss ! She is to turn her back upon a Sum;
