LONDON, sArrapar, MARCH U.

Ms election he. the City of London opened
Nell. The show of hands in fawn et Lord Joax
Immxt.t. was all but unanimous. Sir JAN 36 Don
tide neat; Bann ROTUSCICILD and Mr. CRAW-
FORD followed at a considerable interval ; end Mr.
Marini Coasts was nowhere. This was net an
ananise la which a deceptive appearance of strength
Night he given to parties who had se hold as the
&dam kr the crowd which Illhd the Guildhall

seas es;sposed exclusively of elect re--wt of them i
Bearymen. The work has been well begun, and a ,
andsrate exertion will this day show that the
Janet, spontaneous exertions of electors, when
Mimi by indignation at unworthy machinations,
OM lost down and trample upon the work of the
istrigess of years, and scatter to the winds the stray
ef a paid agency.
The elector, for the City had yesterday as oppor-
tunity of testing the worth of the cry about " elni•
=NOW representatives." Quietism* are mooted at
this moment, in the prompt and correct sohties of
mkt& the mercantile world of England is deeply
imisrested. The solution of the poetise of the Bank
Marten masa long be postponed I sad the drain of
gehl amass med during the pest year by the necesn-
liasef Bank of Frame hie added to the urgency
ef
Rs solution. Recent proesedinp in bankruptcy
ties shown how indispensable immediate action
it with a view to the rearm of ear system
ef
Bankrupt Law and of the Tribunals
ly which it is adadnietered. The abolition of
Preen Tolls and We remnants of feudal op-
pumice on shipping, is kindly celled for by the M-
itch' interests of England. The general instil-
dewy of our consular servios—the risks to which
the country is incessantly exposed by the petulance
and rashness of oar consede—and the indefensible
dreenter of some recent appointments, have difileed
an impatient desire for a searching reform of the
minds system. These and many similar questions
MO at this moment profoundly agitating the minds
of the mercantile public. Yet not one of them was
to shed upon, or even distantly hinted at, in Guilt-
bell yesterday, by any one of the "commercial can-
didates" per ercellnice.
The oracle was dumb;
Nor voice, nor hideous AIM
Haag through the arched roof* words diceivlag.

The only faint indication of a mercantile turn of
wind was something feebly muttered about made-
fog over the mercantile interests of the City.
No cos deities that men of penetrating compre-
bemire intellect, who have devoted themselves to
ammoros as the pursuit of their lives, enjoy oppor-
tunities of studying the laws which regulate it
villa are withheld from others. When such men

mho among us—and such have frequently
Wien among the merchants of England—it
b most desirable that they should be ea-
able& to take part in the deliberations of the
Leasure. But this is no reason why the metro
polio of Landon should bind itself down to return
assmasilL men alone to Parliament, whether they
