LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1848.

The French Papers of Monday and the Etoile of Tues-
day have been received. Their contents arc unimportant.
IV': have received the Dutch Papers to' the 6th instant
Their contents are not of much importance.

The Southwark Election commenced yesterday. The
candidates, Sir Rosser Wirsote, Mr. CA Limo-, ■nd Mr.
PoLIIILL, respectively addressed the electors, the former at
considerable length. At the cicae of the poll last night the
numbers were—for
Sir ROBERT WILSON - 173
Mr. CALVERT
__Alr. I'OLHILL 106 _ _

The right of c'cetion for the Borough is vested in the
inhabitants paying scot and lot (that is, being rated to and
paying the parish taxes). The electors in 1818 amount-
ed to 3,500; and it is believed, from the number of
houses pulled down in St. George's Fields, that the num-
ber of voters has not bees, much increased since that time
by the various buildings in other parts of the Borough.
The Mahlon Eection also took place yesterday. That
borough reckons 555 inhabited houses, and the right of
election is vested id freemen by birth, marriage, or ser-
vitude. The candidates in this case were, Messrs. LK N-
NARD, WINN, and QuiNTIN DICK. The poll, at the con-
clusion, yesterday, stood as follows :
Mr. LIENNAIID

Mr. WYNN
QuiNTIN DICK

By the latest accounts from Yorkshire, it appears that
Mr. BETHEL Went to Leeds on Tuesday morning, to can-
vass the freeholders in that quarter, and it is supposed that
the event of the election will depend, in a great measure,
on the number of votes that he may be enabled to secure
in that MITERS; but it seems to be the general opinion at
the preacnt moment, in that part of the country, that no
contest will take place even for the county. No contest,
by the latest accounts, is likely to take place at Coventry,
Worcester. or Colchester. At Leicester, it seercs, a little
electioneering spirit has manifested itself among the ad-
herents or the different candidates.

A Morning Paper of yesterday, evidently for the pur-
pose of having something that might appear exclusive,
has published as old letter of the Consul of the Uaitcj
States at Buenos Ayres, relative to the blockade of that
State by the Brazilian squadron. This eorresppudence,
which we received by way of the United States, a con-
sidereble time back, is so much a matter of course, that we
should not now allude to it, if it had not ben made the
subject of an attack upon the British Government. The
Journal in question is distinguished for its blindness to
every species of information which does not appear in ita
own columns; and it is quite in keeping with its character
to assume that Mr. llesxissox has done nothing, because
nothing has come to the knowledge of the Journalist. It
is an easy matter to say what im:onveniences attend a cer-
tain hue of conduct, but it is not by any means so easy to
determine what line of conduct is to be pursued is order
to avoid inconveniences of an opposite nature, and it is
totally impossible to discover any line of conduct in any
circumstances which shall be attended with no incouve-
niences, and liable to no objections. The question of
Mare Liherunt and Mare Clausuna, is beset with difficul-
ties, and Ministers must avoid taking any avowed course
which could be brought as an instance aqamst ourselves, to
justify the proceedings or Armed Neutralities. The sub-
ject, we know, has, from the first, been under the particular
attention of Mr. CANNING, and we can venture to assert.
that every thing which it is proper to do in this case has
been and will be done, at a time too, and in a manger, much
more likely to secure the object in view that, that which has
been chosen by the American Consul.

The Britith Funds drooped this morning, width in some measure
may be attributed to the hula business doing in them; although
the accounts from the country are not so favourable as to the route
of trade as we have been led to hope that they would be. Consols
from the above causes declined from 133 j to 4. at which quotation
they closed. The New Scrip was 13 to 14 prem.; and Dank
Stock 2014.
Al.hough the Pyramus hss arrived with dollars from !Unice),
the Stock of that country hes not advanced, the Six Per Cents.
continuing at 624. There was no variation in other Transatlantic
Securities, and Northern Stozha remain atationary.
