CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrival of En ;lash Wheat has been
but moderate, and the snow of samples of tvitla red and
White here to day was limited, but in excellent condition.
Owing to the prevailieg fine weather for the growing
crops, the demand ruled excessively heavy, aed prices
Were nominally the same as on Monday, wiihout a
elQarauco being effected. Scarcely any sake took place
for forward delivery. Foreign Wneat, the supply of
which on offer was but moderate, commanded very
little attention. In the quotations no change took place.
at low qualities were easier to purchase. Floiting
cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn were a dull inquiry.
Grinding Barley was held at full quotations, but other
kinds were very dull, No cbsoge in Malt, the supply
of which was limited. In Oats next to nothing was
d°ing, but both Beans and Peas were held at extreme
rates. The demand for Flour was in a very inactive
State.

y Mr. F. Smedley, the High Bailiff of Westminster,
advanced to the front of the hustings, and went through
the formality of reading the Bribery Act and the
Writ, but this was purely a matter of dumb
show. At the close of the ceremony th ugh Bailiff addressed the electors upon the importancee
01 the privilege they were called upon to exercise, but if
the electors heard no more of the returning officer's
speech than caught the ear of our reporter, it must have
had very, little effect upon them, as indeed appeared to
be the case, judging from the uproar they kept up.

Sir CBARLES-A.LDIS neat proposed Mr. Coningham
Re a moa of tne people, but the people did not .see
to
think so, or they would have honoured his propoer
With a little more respectful attention. Mr. Coningham,
however, as far as we could elicit from his proposer's
BPeech, was in favour of free trade, a supporter of Par•
liatnentaty reform, the ballot, end triennial Parliaments.
Re was also a friend of Church and State, and it the
electors of Westminster wished to uphold that institu-
tion in an efficient manner, they would vote without he-
sitation for Cooinghaw and the rights of the people.
Mr. GEORGE DAVIS, a Westminster tradesman, se-
conded Mr. Coningriam'e nomination, and contented
hiinself with simply doing so without wasting his breath
upon a noisy aud inattentive audience.
There being no other candidate to be proposed,
~. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented himself to the electors,
flaG in hand, but he was received with such an outburst
of howling and shouting that it was impossible to hear a
word he said, .We collected, however, sufficient from his
brief address to understand that in his own opinion he
had always faithfully endeavoured to dischare th
duties which the electors had hitherto imposed upogn him.e He had carefully attended to their local rights, and had
only voted for such general measures as hethoig ht best
calculated to further the interests of the community
at large. He had, therefore, no hesitation in now asking
them, for a renewal of their confidence, and he should
retire from the scene before him in the
full ho e that to-
morrow be should be returned at the head of the poll.
Its the middle of the Hon. and Gallant General's -ad-
dress the weather-beaten veteran bearing the cross of
the Spanish L-gion, and attired in a dilapidated suit cot
teeimentals, was hoisted on the heads ot the people in
front of the hustings. The pour fellow, who appeared
to be sadly exhausted by the exertions his friends ware
ale on him, interrupted the Hon. and Gallant
eG'neral's address with this demand, o .
Where is ent
Pension after.2o years' service?"
The Hon. and Gallant General smiled blandly upon
the poor wretch, and made some reply to the hint about
the Pension, but the mob became so
exasperate d that his
sPeech was.coneuldect in dumb show. He promised to
advocate the rights of the electors and to endeavour to
eetene their privilege, and with that declaration he teak
leave for the pres;nt of the boisterous electors.

the House and he would take care that the interests of
Westminster were not neglected by either side.
Lerd MAIDsToNE addressed the electors amidst re-
newed upriser. He sai the was rejeiced to find that the

they promised.—(Elear.) He was as independent as
any one of his honourable opponents, and if they
returned him to Parliament he should only vote
for Lord Derby so long as the measures be proposed were

Westminster would confirm that opinion oy returning

his own pert, he was in favour of manhood suffrage,
and for annual Parliaments, but the latter question was
not, like the former, one of principle but of detail; and
he should never allow that to stand in the way of his
voting for any good measure of Parliamentary reform.
