LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1852.

Preparatory movements are already visible among
the various metropolitan constituencies. In the capital,
at least, the dissoiution will not take the electors by
surprise, however unexpected may be the moment
chosen for the appeal to the country by the Govern-
ment. It were well for the possessors of the fran-
chise throughout the United Kingdom, if they were
to take example from the activity and forethought
displayed by their compatriots in the county of

Middlesex. Another peculiarity in the course pur-
sued upon occasions of this description, by the metro-
politan constituents, it were not less advisable for their
fellow-countrymen to emulate somewhat more sedu-
lously than heretofore, at any rate in the 1 •Iger towns
of Great Britain. Allusion is made, of course, to the
liberal character of the men selected by those holders
of the suffrage as their Parliamentary Representa-
tives. The City itself may be Said to have returned
as its Members four Liberals--Liberals in a broad
sense, although one is a Hebrew and another a
Liberal Conservative. The Tower Hamlets, again,
in the last general election, that of 1847, as upon so
many similar occasions, accorded a considerable num-
ber of votes to the two leading Liberals who were
candidates-3,839 to Sir Wreusat CLAY, and 6,268
to GEORGE THOMPSON. Similar was the enthusiasm
whichol
S n
Marylebone carried to the head of the
p BENJAMIN HALL and Lord DUDLEY
i Sir
Sre.eser—the latter by 5,367 votes, and the
former by 5,343—men who have so nobly justified
the good opinion of their supporters by their sub-
sequent conduct in the Legislature, that it was
resolved in that borough that they should be again
returned, and this time free of all expense.
Equally resolute in their support of Liberality
were the electors of Westminster, who numbered
3,139 as the upholders of Sir De LACY EVANS,
and 2,831 as the upholders of CHARLES LUSH-.
INGTON. At Lambeth, one of the present Mem-
bers (D'Eesicouer) was in 1847 chosen by 3,708
electors, and his colleague (Wmaitats) in 1850 by
3,834—b0th Liberals, though of different complexions,
one a Whig, the other a Radical. At Southwark, in
1847, there were returned without opposition two
others no less distinguished than Alderman JOHN
HUMPHERY and Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. As
the representatives of Finsbury, moreover, there have
been sitting together as colleagues in the House of
Commons two of the most remarkable Liberals in the
last four Parliaments—THOMAS WAKLEY and
THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCODIBE. So that the whole
of the sixteen metropolitan representatives may
be said with truth to be the upholders
of a liberal policy, one of them being a
Jew and another a Liberal Conservative. It
is worthy of remark likewise, that the two Knights
of the Shire of Middlesex come under the same po-
pular category, one of them being the gallant and
gifted RALPH OSBORNE, about the most thoroughly
independent out of the whole list of the national re-
presentatives. Restricting our observations entirely
to the City and the six boroughs of the metropolis, it
is satisfactory to recognise sixteen Whigs and
Radicals, with the exception of one, who is a Liberal
Conservative.
Finsbury is henceforth destined unfortunately to
lose one of those two eminent Liberals, whom we have
already mentioned as among the most meritorious
Members of the House of Commons. Indisposition
of a rather sudden and serious nature has compelled
Mr. WAKLEY to decline the honour of being once
more a candidate for the suffrages of the constituency,
After continuing in the House of Commons for
seventeen years as the Member for Finsbury—re-
turned in 1835 by 3,359, in 1837 by 4,957, in 1841
and in 1847 without opposition—the Hon. Gentleman
feels it incumbent upon him to withdraw from that
elevated and onerous position, so as to dedicate
his energies exclusively to the responsible
duties devolving upon him in his professional
capacity as the Coroner for the county of Middlesex.
His retirement is a circumstance entitled to our sin-
cere regret, but one, nevertheless, deserving also of
peculiar remembrance. It will act as an incentive to
his successor to bear in recollection the assiduity with
which THOMAS WAKLEY, for seventeen years, upheld
the principles of civil and religious liberty during the
existence of four very remarkable Parliaments. The
distinguished merit of Mr. WAKLEY should be borne
in mind by the electors of Finsbury peculiarly at
the present juncture. It should be remembered
as an indication of the responsibilities re-

posing just now in their hands in reference to the
selection of his successor. Those responsibilities are
threefold—for in regard to them the men of Fins-
bury will have to maintain their own character in
the selection of the new representative, they will
have, in his person, to choose a man worthy of being
Member in the room of THOMAS WABLEY, and
they will have, in so doing, to carry to the
head of the poll one worthy of being the
colleague of THOMAS DUNCOMBE. Candidates
capable of fulfilling those three requisites are
not to be discovered every day, but fortunately
one has already presented himself to the electors of
the borough in answer to requisitions very nu-
merously signed by large majorities in different
parts of the constituency. It is tolerably well known
by this time that the candidate here alluded to is no
other than JAMES WILD, at present Member of
Parliament for Bodmin—a man of the people.—a man
of liberal and enlightened views—and ens whose
capacities, apart fromhis office as a Legislator, have for
many years fixed upon him the attention of the com-
munity as one of the most eminent of living geographers.
As his colleague Mr. WYLD would, if returned for
Finsbury, have his name coupled with that of no
less popular a representative than Mr. DUNCOMBE.
The difficulty of the position would, therefore, be ex-.
treme, because of the really formidable nature of the
contrast of liberality thereby presented. THOMAS DUN-
COMBE has already, as Member for Finsbury, sat in
five consecutive Parliaments—a circumstance almost,

if not entirely, unparalleled in the history of our
great metropolitan constituencies. Rejected in 1832
by the electors of the borough of Hertford,
who sagaciously preferred two thoroughgoing
and unmistakable Conservatives, THOMAS &MOSBY
DUNCOMBE was chosen Member for Finsbury in
1834 by a majority of 2,sl4—since which period he
his been re-elected at all the subsequent general
elections, in 1835 by 4,497, in 1837 by 4,895,
in 1841 and in 1847 without any oppositicn what-
ever. It is by the side of this free-minded
and uncompromising Liberal that Mr. WYLD will
have to appear upon the local hustings very soon after
the period of dissolution. Happily for him, and for
the electors of Finsbury, the principles maintained
by the candidate are precisely such as
should appear in one who aspires to be the successor
of THOMAS WAKLEY and the colleague of THOMAS
DIINCOMBE. In his address to the electors of Fins-
bury Mr. WYLD proclaims himself to be in favour of
a very considerable extension of the elective
franchise, coupled with the inestimable and
long-denied boon of the ballot. He &clams himself
an advocate of triennial Parliaments. He desires to
abolish the property qualification for Members of the
lower branch of the Legislature. He is a
Free-trader, a Financial Reformer, and an
Economist. He is for the abolition of the
Income-tax, for the abolition of the Probate-duty,
and for the abolition of the Post-hire duty. He is
opposed to the increase of our standing army, and
more particularly inimical to that unpopular
Militia, which he aptly designates " a
forced and unequal conscription." He aspires to see at

ter,--e uducation of a strictly secular charac-
