lilS*lCti ELECTION'.

Sir William Harland, the High Steward of fhe Borough,
and a consistent supporter of the Liberal cause, will pfo-
pose Mr. Gibson. The only chance the Tories have is to
keep back the Chartists from voting, which they boast they
have already accomplished. On this, as on former occa-
sions, they may, perhaps, reckon without their host.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

In consequence of an unusual press of matter this day,
we are compelled to abridge our extracts from the leading
articles of the Moroing Papers. The Times, in an article
of a " Much-Ado-About-Nothing" character, labours hard
to show that the Tories are just now the objects of popular
favour, and the Whigs of popular execration ! and alluclihg
incidentally to the Queen's answer to the anti-Education
Address of the Lords, says We said yesterday that
the Queen's answer would be at once courteous and
insignificant. Our readers will see that it is both."
—The Morning Post observes of her Majesty's an-
swer to the Lords' Address, that " it is neither more
nor less than an intimation by the Queen's Ministers that
the House of Lords had no business id interfere, and that
to neutralize their impertinence in future, an ;Imortinity
will only be afforded for the expression of their opinion
after the mischief shall have been done." The Morning
Chronicle thus expresses itself on the subject of her Ma-
jesty's answer .—" It conveys a sharp rebuke to their
Lordships, and is a spirited, and at the same time dignifial,
answer." The Morning Herald, alluding to the same
subject, remarks as follows:--" The answer is a civil re-
buke, but a rebuke it most certainly is ;" and adds, " it is
worthy of the spirit in which the education scheme was
conceived and propounded."

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JULY 11.—We have had
a better demand for Cotton to-day, without however any
improvement in prices. The sales are 1,000 bags.
Our arrivals this morning are a French and Ostend mail,
and ship letters from Sydney, to the sth February.
We have received Sydney Papers to the 23d February,
from which we extract the following :
" We have received Port Philip Papers to the 26th
ult. The following are condensed extracts :
" The colonists at Port Philip complain much of the want
of labourers, on account of which their pursuits are con-
siderably retarded.
" The Beagle has again run into our port, to lay in, it is
said, a fresh supply of provisions. Since her previous
visit she has been prosecuting the survey of the coast.
The fires which have lately in every direction been destroy-
ing the herbage of the country, have prevailed so much on
the sea-side, es to render a co:rect survey of the line of
coast almost impossible.
" SOUTII AUSTRALIA.—The Australasian Bank has com-
menced operationset Adelaide; a number of the leading
colonists have determined to support the establishment to
the utmost of their power.
