CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

(THIS DAY.)

At two o'clock this day, the nomination of a candidate
serve for the City of London, in the place of the
)tight Hon. Lord Jobn Russell, who has accepted the
't
Ce of Lord President of her Majesty's Privy Council,
took place in the Common Hall, Guildhall. The hall
41 court-yard of Guildhall was densely crowded.
,'4843' Russell, and her son and daughter, and Lord Wm.
%sell and several of his lordship's friends, occupied the
Wiery over the hustings.
Lord John Russell, upon making his appearance on the
gilatinge, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriff,
*a% loudly cheered.
Mr. Sheriff WIRE having opened the proceedings, and
itthe usual preliminary proceedings having been gone
rough,
IENRY JAMES PRESCOTT Esq., banker, came forward
`° propose Lord John Russell, and in doing so said that
Ile need not go into the history of the merits of the
noble lord, but no man had been more the friend of religious
liberty and commercial freedom of the people. He was
the firm advocate of popular education. He did not
'eau to say that the noble lord was not sometimes
biang, and that he did not himself sometimes differ with
ar but the noble lord had always served the city faith-
t 41IY, and we were under a debt of gratitude for the wisdom
414 counsel he had afforded the nation. After some
re larks, he concluded by proposing Lord John Russell.
Mr. DILLON seconded the nomination.
I The Sheriff here came forward, and said that the right
"ouourable Lord John Russell having been proposed
ttul seconded, he wished to know if there was any
Nosing proposal. Loud cries of " No, no," and
ifiumense cheering for Lord John, and a few cries
Mr. Urquhart, who, from the bar behind the
did Mayor and Sheriffs, in a most excited manner
" Propose me, then." A burst of laughter fol-
lowed this appeal, but no one having responded,
the Sheriff here announced the choice to have fallen upon
the
auble lord.
Lord J. RUSSELL then came forward, and was received
:Pith the most unanimous cheering, and having answered
,°rus questions put to him by a gentleman who was
Pon the hustings, and which was quite inaudible
consequence of the confusion which prevailed,

them for having over so long a period honoured
241 With their support, and after Navin, alluded to his
Fast career, said that with regard to the all-important
laestion of the present war, he would say that there
er.e other powers besides England and France interested
securing the independence of Europe. He alluded to the
!Nat states of Germany, as Russia's possesi-ion of Con-
'tantinople would not only be dangerous to England
a4d France, but aggressive to Germany. The Germans
lid Prussians sympathised wan us in our present
straggle, which it would be borne in mind was not a
war of one power. The war we were about to
°f Russia.
was that of all Europe against the tyranny
Russia. He had been told that the Govern.s'atent of Turkey was bad, and that we should not help
'gem, but he believed that those who put forth this ar-
hment only did so to forward the designs of Russia. It
*as easy to say that there was mal-administration and
Ztuel practices upon the part of the Turkish Government,
nt it was not now the time to discuss that question,
lit to resist the tyranny of Russia. If Russia did suc-
ceed in her designs with Turkey, the Government would

Gould be encouraged ; it would be a dead and a deadly
`overnment. Others said the Turks would, if left alone,
tettle their differences better than with our interference.
that was the language of the Emperor of Russia, and
(the Czar) further said that it might be amicably
settled. (Laughter and cheers.) We thought other-
*ise—(reneweil cheers and laughter)—and being too
!Tong we did not feel inclined to trust him. (Tremen-
dous cheering.) We did not intend to lay down
our arms until we had obtained the greatest
security. Our eyes had -been opened to the conduct of
Russia, and every precaution would be taken to frus-
%trate his designs. This war would not, as one of con-
quest, be a remunerative one. But he could assure
them that everything would be done to secure a lasting
Peace ; but he could not say what might be the
terms of that peace, as it would entirely depend
Upon the fortunes of war, and it would be closed as
speedily as possible. The noble lord concluded amidst
, tnost triumphant cheering.
The customary compliments having been paid to the
Sheriff and Lord Mayor, they retired, after which Mr.
Urquhart began to address those who were leaving the

Could be beard, and whilst he was speaking, those as-
sembled left the hall, and followed the noble lord into
the court-yard, where he was again most vociferously
Cheered as he was driven away.
