CITY OF LONDON ELECTION•

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LO NDON.

Gentlemen,—Upon the lamented death of Mr. Pat'
tison I had the honour to receive a requisition to he'
come a candidate, and was elected without opposition
one of your representatives in Parliament. I was then
filling the office of chief magistrate, having Imen en-
gaged for upwards of thirty years in business in the city
of London, and represented for twelve years in the
House of Commons the independent borough of Boston.
I therefore felt a proud satisfaction in believing that
your choice was influenced by what you knew of eel
conduct as a public man and my character as a citizen.
" Feeling confident that I have endeavoured to sustain
the good opinion which elevated me to the distinguished
position of one of your representatives, I respectfully
announce my intention of soliciting a renewal of your
suffrages at the approaching general election.
"I have ever given a steady support to those great
principles of civil and religious liberty which have always
been dear to the citizens of London; and my votes will
show that I have cordially supported those measures
commercial freedom which have improved the revenuer
increased the contentment of the working classes, and
promoted the general prosperity of the country. I he're,
at the same time, voted in favour of every proposition

I have likewise, by my votes on all occasions, endea-
voured to lighten the burdens of taxation by enforcing

TUE HULL MURDER.—HULL, TUESDAY, MALT
25.—This morning, two men, who gave the names of John
Snape and John Smith, each about 23 years of age, the
former stating that he came from Nottingham, and the lat-
ter describing himself as of Leeds, were placed at the bar
of the police-court before the Mayor and a full bench of
magistrates, on a charge of having been the parties who
perpetrated the murder and robbery, a brief account of
which has already appeared. Both prisoners are very
respectably attired, but with a certain touch of Ltashines.s
about their appearance. Snape, against whom the evidence
is the more direct, was in a state of great trepidation,
trembling violently during the whole of the examination.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—THE PROSECUTION OF JAMES

in the last term pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with publishing a libel in the World newspaper. No

CHEAP OMNIBUS PARES.—The cheap omnibuses
placed on the Oxford-street and Holborn line of road, to run
from the Marble Arch to the corner of Tottenham-court-
road for one penny, and from that point to the bottom of
Holborn-bill for the same low fare, may now be considered,
after more than six months' trial through the worst season
of the year, to b 3 firmly established in the favour of the
public, as is fully evinced by the patronage which they re-
ceive. Some omnibuses, with equally cheap fares, have
been started on the Strand line, from Westminster to King's-
cross, and the omnibuses on the Hampstead-road not only
run at low fares through Holborn, but charge one penny
only for the whole distance from the corner of New Oxford-
street to the Camden-town-gate, thus affordingunprecedented
opportunities for cheap riding to the residents of that populous
part of the town.

CORN-LXCHANGE---WEDNESDAY
Our market today has been very
thinly attended by
buyers, both town and country. • The show of samples
of English Wheat has been extremely limited, and the
amount of business doing in that article trifling in the
extreme. Factors, however, have been very firm, and
the prices paid nave been quite equal to those of Mon-
day last. For forward delivery, next to nothing doing'
From abroad, 10,860 quarters of Wheat have COte!:
fresh to hand. Selected samples of both red and
white sold at extreme currencies; whilst the value °`e
low and middling parcels was well supported. Float-
ing cargoes of Wheat were ne,lected; but Indian
Corn was held for rather more money. On the whole,
the Barley trade was dull, but no change took place
in prices. Malt sold s!owly, at late rate 9.,
We had a very dull inquiry for Oats—the imports ore
which were upwards of 31,000 quarteri—at a decline 0'
fully 6(1 per quarter. The Flour trade was firm; baC
Beans and Peas commanded very little attention.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHaNear.noa,)
THE RIVAL OPERA HO ilaL3.
LUMLEY V. WAGNER.
Mr. MALINB was heard this morning in support of the
appeal against the decision of Vice-Chancellor Parker.
The Learned Counsel, following the same line taken by
Mr. Bethell on Saturday, confined his argument to the
paints as to whether the Court had jurisdiction, or whe-
ther it was its settled custom to interfere in oases of this
nature by way of an injunction.
Mr. MARTINDALE followed on the same side.
Mr. BACON then proceeded to address the Court in
support of the injunction. Addressing himself to the
Point of jurisdiction, the Learned Counsel proceeded to
argue and to cite cases to show that it had, for a long
series of years, been the custom of the Court to grant
injunctions in cases where there was a negative stipule,-
Lien, even though there was no specific erformance.
Entering into the facts of the case, he admitted that if it

Were possible to perceive any trace of the agreement be-
tween Mr. Lumley and Madlle. Wagner having been
obtained by misrepresentation, then Mr. Lumley would
have no right to be in court, bat he contended that no
such trace could be discovered. With regard to the
agreement itself,
the he thought that the adoption of it by
Wagners was sufficiently clear, even if it were said
that Dr. Becher was not sufficiently their agent to bind
mane
by his act. - As to the non-payment of the
aeY, he contended that this was not a pre-
, nor was ever considered by the Wagners as
such until it was their turn to make an excuse of the
'1"-Payment of it. No trace was to be discovered of their
'having, demanded the payment of the money; they had
been informed that Dr. Becher had the money for them;
ey themselves requested the extension of the

have been justified in • breaking the engagement

the plaintiff, not seeking specific performance, but
trhelying on the negative prohibition, had, according to
plain law of the Court, a right to this remedy, and
thaet, so far as the facts were concerned, had proved' a
onfficient case to entitle him to clean fall exercise of his
right.
