CITY ELECTIONS.
CRIPPLEGATE WITHOUT.

In this Ward the contest is very likely to be a sharp
one. Mr. Joseph Newell, who has so zealously vindicated
the right of freeman to vote for Candidates to the Repre-
sentation of the City, has been put forward by some of the
must opulent and influential men in the Ward. The old
Members were put in nomination as follows :—Pullen,
Jones, Alderman, liaise, Taylor, Atkinson, Hayes, and
Curtis. Two new Candidates, Case and Newell, were then
proposed.

Mr. DzLroN, of cure-street, proposed Mr. Newell,
amidst great applause.

Mr. Deputy PuLt.tx had been nearly twenty years
one of the Representatives of the Ward; he had always
advocated retreachinent and Reform ; he had never yet
declared his sentiments with respect to the Select Vestries ;
but he was willing to do so when required.—(A general
cry of " Now, now !") Mr. Pullen did not obi the
call, and several persons biased.
Mr. JONES came forward amidst cheers and biotin.
He said, with regard to the Select Vestry of Cripplegate,
he never concealed the opinion that it required amendment.
Mr. ALneastAx expressed his most decided hostility to
all measures which did not comprehend economy, retrench-
ment, and Reform.

The rest of the old candidates expressed themselves
favourable to Reform and retrenchment ; but some of
them rather shyed the Select Vestry question, inasmuch as
they happened to he vestrymen themselves.
Mr. Nawer.r. said, that the preposition for giving the
franchise to the freemen of London had met nWI such a
reception as pro►nierd ultimate success.—(Loud cheers.)
It was the paramount duty of constituents to secure such
men as would liberate the freemen of London from the
degraded condition in which they stood. In every other
city in England, the ►ight of freemen to vote was recog.
nised ; but in London the freemen were not even allowed
to have a voice in the election of the Chief Magistrate.
Mr. Dtt.Lon believed Mr. Jones to be always as intel-
ligent and generally an useful member of the Corporation ;
but when the French affair was proposed in the ward, Mr.
Jones objected to signing the requisition, first, because he
was going to the Duke of Wellington ; and, secondly, be-
cause the thing was premature.

Mr. Puni.ix said, his connection with the Committee
alluded to was unavoidable, and that be sever had any
idea of giving a precinct 'mow.

Mr. Jortii said the attack was most invidious. Ile was,
indeed, going to the Duke of Wellington at the time he
was asked to sign the requisition, but it was upon the bu•
sinees of the citizens of London. With respect to the °pis.
nion that the Meeting was premature, be begged to say
that he was at liberty to form an opinion : and that al-
though ho should always do his duty, he should never be a
tool in the hands of any man, or set of men.
A poll was then demanded.
