LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNI 17, 1846.

%Ye observe in the Constituiionnel a letter from Vera
Cruz, giving a very splendid description of the state of the
Republican fleet, and its efficiency for undertaking an ex•
pedition against Cuba. The important document which
we published lately on the army, navy, and finances of
Colombia, woald lead us to form very different conclusions
on this subject. We make a few extracts from the French
Papers—the most important of which is, undoubtedly, that
which furnishes the prices of wheat in different parts of
Europe and America. Barcelona and London are nearly
equal in point of cheapness. France, on an average, is
between a third and a half cheaper than England. Other
places are cheaper, in different proportions from a half
to a fourth. Lubeck is the cheapest place in Europe—by
this account the same quantity of wheat which sells in
London at the rate of 275. 9d. being sold in Lubeck at the
rate of Gs. lid.

The City Election closed yesterday, after a very severe
contest. The successful Candidates are—Alderman
THOMPSON and WAITIIMAN, Mr. WARD, and Alderman
WOOD. We have before taken the liberty of adverting to
the merits of Messrs. TricomPSON and WARD, and there-
fore we shall not increase the excitement that must neces-
sarily exist at this moment by referring further to them
than by declaring our deliberate opinion, that two indivi-
duals of more extensive knowledge in commercial affitirs,
or of more indefatigable industry, could not have
been selected for the performance of the arduous duties of
Representatives of the various interests of the City of
London, than these eminent members of the mercantile
body. We are greatly deceived if the Livery will not
hare reason for congratulating themselves on the choice
they have made, and the connexion, we doubt not, will be
strengthened in each succeeding year ; for the habits of
business of the new Member.) will always render them
alive to the interests of their constituents, and the same
cause will prevent them from growing weary in attending
to commercial affairs in Parliament.
