Bowen to the Rock Asserenc•-oftlee, end the subject we.
referred for inquiry to the Geste& Purgers Committee. who
now omit up a report suiting that the Metropolitan Board
had applied to parliament for powers to apportion the debt
upon the diaries.' districts of the metropolis, _upon the
ground that the money borrowed had.bese expended on con-
nexion with the main dmis stnmetropolis. The com-
mittee, however, mmidend o portion of this debt
ought to be chargeable upon the City, as it wee exempt by

LONDON. IrIiDNISDAY. MAY 11.

Int West Riding has given its smug is haw
of Progress and against Cesserratim. By a ma-
jority of 1,242, the greatest of English mastitasa-

cies has preferred a manufacturer of radical pria-
cilges, to an ez•o9'icial of Tory opinions and misto-
crate family. At the general election of 1811, Lords

MOIII'ETH and MILTON were unable to maintaia

their ground u hberal candidates against th. rising

tide of PLELITS reaction, and two Conservativea

held the seats wall after the repeal of the Cara
Laws. Is the •thaeiasm kindled by that event,

Cr'.Lilco rAILDLET by •majoriti of nearly 9,000,

and DO Liberal sine then having ventured to emstest
the seat. It was not surprising, therefore, that apes
his retirement the great families so long potential in
the county should seek again to assert their right to
nominate one at least of its representatives. After
due deliberation, it was resolved by the HARE-
WOOD4 and HCITVORDA, CARDIGANS, WILTON!, and

WHARNCIAFFES that Mr. JAMES 871." ART WORTLEY

should be their candidate, and that he should be
requested to relinquish his uncontested seat for
Bute, in order to become their standard-bearer in
resistance to Reform in the West Riding. Of the
triumph that awaited him there could he, it was

believed that matwitleruddeng all the sinister sad

commaaity, and that if fairly appealed to it would

Like the Woman of Samaria he bait had many par.
