CITY OP LONDON ELECTION.

ITV'S DAY.)

A meeting of the liberal candidates for the
city of London and their friends and supporters was
held at 2 o'clock at the City Terminus Hotel, C:111110D,
street. The attendance was numerous. On the platform
were the four candidates—Baron Rothschild, M.P.; Mr.
It. W. Crawford, M.P. ; Mr. O. J. (hischeir, ;
and Mr. Alderman W. Lawrence, M.P.—Mr. J. Locke,
M.P., and Mr. Ayrton, M.P.

The Orman:en (Alderman Sir Ileujamin Phillips), in
opening the proceedings, said it could not be denied that
the liberal electors were placed in a difficulty.
This miserable three-cornered, thimble-rig system
had put them in an awkward position, and the only solu-
tion of the matter was to ho found in a firm determination
to return the four liberal members. (Cheers.) The result
of the election would be, he doubted not, to prove that they
were liberal in spirit and in deed. Ito cougratulited tho
citizens of London on the cordiality and unanimity which
prevailed. (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman W. Lsernm-s, at the request of the
chairman, then addressed the meeting. After alluding to
the circumstances which attended his first election for the
City, and to his conduct iu parliament, he spoke of the
recent inert ased expenditure under a conservative govern-
ment, end expressed his conviction that if it remained in
office the evil would continue. There could be no doubt
what the general result of the elections would be; the
government themselves had shown that they were aware of
that try turning temporary into permanent situations.
Lord Mayo's case furnished an example. (Hoar, h^ar.)
Ile then touched on the question of education, and of the
equahration of the poor rates, which ho said must engage
the attention of the new parliament. The Irish church
was in everybody's mouth. It was a simple act of
justice that it should no longer occupy the position that
it did, exciting antipathy and fostering ill will on a
wide scale. The proposition of Mr. Gladstone—(great
cheers)—was simple and straightforward. There was no
mental reservation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone had
stated distinctly that, in his opinion, the feuds taken
from the Irish church should not be handed over to any
other church. The object was to establish per-
fect religious equality in that country. There was no
policy on the other side; the Prime Minister himself had
not indicated one in his address. After what had occurred,
however, nothing could surprise the country. In conolu-
'ion, ho expressed full confidence in the result of the ap-
proaching election.
Mr. B. W. Criaweonn, M.P., followed, claiming con-
fidence on the paved of past services in parliament
Alluding to the statement that the voice of the City of
Louden was not sufficiently powerful in the House of
Commons, he denied that it was well founded.
In the last twelve years measures had been
carried which greatly affected the material interests
of that city, and having during that time been entrusted
by his colleagues with the care of those interests
he had been constantly engaged in the discharge
of his duties. He had been charged with being
seldom in attendance in parliament. His reply was,
that he was one of the earliest in his attendance and one
of the last to leave. His vote was always ready
when required, and in that respect he differed from gentle-
men whom he had seen coming up from the smoking-
room in a half-fuddled corulitiou asking how they should
vote. (Laughter.)
[The meeting was proceeding when our report left.)

The Chronicle of the 17th says :—" Yesterday, previous
to leaving European waters for their voyage homeward
across the Atlantic, Admiral and Mrs. Farragut
entertained a large party on board the United
States flag ship Franklin. His Excellency Sir Richard
Airey, 0.C.8., Major-General and Mrs. Crutchley, H.
Sprague, Esq. (the United States Consul), and Mrs.
Sprague, Colonel and Mrs. Maberley, Captain and Miss
Prevost, Captain Wilson (of her Majesty's ship Bristol),
Captain Lambert (of her Majesty's ship Pallas), and
Captain Andre, of the French imperial war steamer Dix
Decembre, were among the company. After luncheon,
dancing was kept up on the main deck till a late hour in
the afternoon. The admiral is expected ashore in the course
of the day to pay a farewell visit to the governor, and
the Franklin will in all probability put to sea to-morrow,
the 18th. The command of the squadron, vacated by Ad-
miral Farragut, devolves upon Commodore Pennock,
hitherto captain of the Franklin, who will hoist his flag on
the Ticonderoga. Captain Le Roy, Admiral Farragut's
chief-of-staff, assumes the command of the Franklin on
her homeward voyage."

AWFULLY SUDDEN DIATIL—A shocking caw of
sudden death occurred at Leicester on Wednesday even-
ing. The deceased, John Chapman, a horse dealer of
Norwich, appeared at the Leicester Sessions to prosecute
two of his former servants, Charles Plum and Stag Reeve,
for having stolen 18 horses, value 1601., his property, on
the 18th of April last. The prisoners were entrusted with
the horses to take from Leicester to Melton Mowbray, but
made off with therm disposing of 16 and pawning three for
W. 10s., and it was nut until some time after that they
were captured. The prosecutor was subjected to a NM*
cross-examination by lir. Jacques as to the existence of •
partnership between himself and the prisoners, which he
denitd with some very sharp repartee on the learned bar-
rister. The prisoners were found guilty, but sentence was
deferred, the learned recorder seeming dissatisfied as to
whether the prisoners premeditated the act before they left
Leicester. On the conclusion of the ease the prosecutor,
who is about 36 years of age, and halo and hearty,
was taken with laiotnw and fell down twice. Bottoming
he was taken into the police station, and Pubes-
gri7eny removed to his lodgings at the Black Horse, where
he died in about half-an-liour.
