CITY OF LONDON ELECTION (THIS DAY).

Lord John Russell was this day re-elected for the
city of London without opposition.
The proceedings took place in the Guildhall, the she-
riffs presiding. Lord John Russell, on entering the
hall, was loudly cheered.

After the reading of the Queen's writ and the Bribery

Act,

Mr. DILLON proposed the re- election of Lord John.
Russell. After alluding at some length to the
downfall of the late Government, and the measures
which led to it, the honourable gentleman said,
that the statesmen of England had now come
to the conclusion, as the people of England had some
time ago, that the time had now arrived when they must
sink minor differences of opinion in order to form a strong
energetic administration. (Hear, hear.) Among the
foremost of them were the noble lord, who with that
magnaminity which belonged to his character and
his name, had consented to descend from the position
to which he was entitled of leading the Cabinet,
and professed himself ready to take any office for the
purpose of serving and saving his country. (Cheers.)
For himself he had consented to propose the noble lord
on the understanding that he would not demand from

him a single pledge. He trusted more to the principles
than to the pledges of statesmen. After enumerating
the subjects which would come under the attention of
the Administration—a review of our financial system,
church and law reform, the admission of Jews into Par-
liament, the national defences, and the reform of the
constituency—the hon. gentleman concluded by nomi-
nating Lord John Russell for re-election.
Mr. CRAWFORD seconded the nomination of Lord
J. Russell. He congratulated the electors on the
unanimity which prevailed among the Liberals in the
City. (Hear.) He was determined, like the mover,
not to ask for any pledges from the noble lord, believing
that it was his intention to fulfil, when opportunity
offered, the expectations which the constituency had
always entertained of him, in reference to the reform of
the customs, the maintenance and extension of free
trade, and the admission of Jews into Parliament.
No other candidate being proposed, the noble for ym
declared to be duly elected.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then stood forward, amidst loud
cheering, to address the electors. After referring to the
share which he had taken in the recent events which had
led to the downfall of the late Administration, and defend-
ing himself against the charge of combination, the noble
lord proceeded to review the intended line of policy of
the new Government. Owing to the late hour at which
the proceedings terminated, we are unable to give a
longer report. A full report of his lordship's speech
will be given in our next edition.
