TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.
Those electors who have this day recorded their votes in favour of
Lard John Manners have taken advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded to them to do all that in them lay to uphold the integrity of
the British Constitution and the dignity of Parliamentary election.
They have declared among other things, by those votes, that they
believe it to be an unfit and disrespectful answer to the Queen's
writ to return to the house of Commons a Member legally disquali-
fied to sit there, who has already proved that disqualification by his
own acts, and whose return, therefore, is nothing less than a nulli.
If cation of the representation of the people, so far as that seat is
concerned. Of the disadvantages of a contest carried on with the
help of long previous organization on the one side and none at all on
the other we need not speak. Ulterior proceedings must then show
whether such an anomalous and unprecedented state of things as
this election presents can be suffered to remain.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowin; two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, tw•-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

HULL, JUL: 3.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :.—With a
somewhat increased import during the past week, business on
the whole has been very lifeless ; some portion of the arrival
has been merely in transit, and te bulk of what offers on this
market is priced at rates which buyers are not yet disposed to
give, in fact the whole character of the trade is retail, and
speculation is almost unknown. We have had, on the whole,
seasonable weather, though more sun is now desirable. The
probability is that harvest will be ten to fourteen dayslater than
last year. There was but little life in to-day's market ; millers,
being moderately in stock, are not needy buyers, and hence
hold back from complying with the advance demanded by both
farmers and factors. The former sought a further advance of
25 to 3s per quarter to-day, and factors expected a full shilling,
but no improvement could be established on last week's rates,
indeed these were only maintained for picked samples. Spring
corn has been in general improved request during the week,
and to-day grinding barley makes Is more money, while fine
qualities are less sought after. Beans are also more in demand,
and the stock on hand a good deal reduced. In oats, peas, rye,
or Indian corn, we have but little doing. No alteration in the
value of linseed, but the market very firm, which may also be
said of cakes, both English and foreign, for present and for-
' ward delivery. Nothing doing in rapeseed, and for rape cakes
the demand is very slow. Irregular prices prevail for bones
apportioned to the daily supply and demand, the season being
all but over. _ _ .

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, Assurances may be effected at
low Rates without participation in the Profits; or at moderate Rates
with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At
each of the three Septennial Divisions which this Company has made,
ihe Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sum
Assured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received;
and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Corn-
any exceeded 530,0001.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
Attained in each case a value not under 501. _ _

In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
.m the 6th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1848, and the same
now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
.)etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Bead Office; and
.Iso by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Not ice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Midsum-
mer must be renewed within fifteen days, at this office, or with Mr.
Sams, No. I, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall; or with The

LivEarooL, JULY 3.—At this day's market there was a fair
attendance of the trade, and a good business was done in wheat
and flour, at fully the prices of this day week. Oats and oat-
meal remained neglected and without change. Barley, beans,
and peas, were in moderate request at late rates. There was
some inquiry for Indian corn, but owing to the heavy arrivals
a decline of is 6d to 2s per quarter on yellow, and is per quarter
on white was submitted to.
CHELMSFORD, JUNE 29 —With a very thin attendance,
a rather limited supply, and an extremely slack trade. Wheats
of the best quality realised an advance of is per quarter, and
inferior samples produced quite as much money as last
week. All else dull at those quotations, excepting
Partridge Peas, which were scarce, and much in demand.

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL AR-

Wcor,wrca, JULY 3.—The whole of the Royal Regi-
ment of Artillery assembled on theltarade-ground at
half-past 9 o'clock, A.M., to-day, under the command of
Colonel Cruttenden, with Captain and Adjutant Good-
enough, and Captain and Adjutant Cannon, acting as
Aides-de-Camp; the Royal Horse Artillery, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Bell; and the field batteries, under
Lieutenant-Colcnel Anderson. Forty rounds of blank
cartridge were served out to each gun. The dismounted
Artillery were formed into three battalions—the right,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Palmer, the left under Lieut.-
Colonel Furneux, and the centre under Lieutenant-
Colonel Warde; and at 10 o'clock they marched to the
Common, the Royal Horse Artillery at full intervals, and
formed in line from south to north of the ground. 400
men of the Royal Marine corps were stationed on the
north, west, and south side of the common to keep the
ground, and Capt. Mundy's, Capt. Crofton's, and Capt.
Ormsby's companies of Royal Artillery, which joined
the garrison on Saturday from Canada, kept the review
ground, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Tomkyns, assisted by the Riding-house troop, under
Captain Wingfield. Lieutenant-Colonel Ingilby, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Story, and the adjutants off duty were
detached to attend upon Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Downman, C. 8., K.C.11., commandant of the garrison,
who was accompanied by Brigade-Major Bingham, and
Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quarter-master-
General of Artillery, and Brigade-Major Walpole, RE.,
and of the Royal tappers and Miners.
Shortly after eleven o'clock Field-Marshal the Marquis
of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., and G.O H., Master-
General of the Ordnance, accompanied by Lieutenant-
General Lord Viscount Hardinge. G.C.8., Major-
General Sir How D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-
General of Artillery ; Major-General Parker, C. 8.,
Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy;
and Major-General Fox, Surveyor of the Ordnance,
arrived on the ground in uniform, and rode in front of
the line, when the Master-General was received with the
usual salute, the band playing the National Anthem. The
Marquis of Anglesey and the Commandant, with the
staff, proceeded to the right of the line, and
rode down the front and up the rear of its entire
leugth, the bands of the various branches of the
Royal Artillery service playing as they passed. After
a minute inspection of the troops the Field-Marshal
arrived at the flagstaff of the Ordnance corps, where his
Lordship was joined by Lieutenant-General Lord Fitzroy
Somerset, K.C.8., Military Secretary to the Comman-
der-in-Cnief, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, K.G.,
Lieutenant-Colonel of the Gloucester Yeomanry Cavalry;
Colonel Campbell, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel
the Earl of Cardigan, 11th or Prince Albert's Hussars;
Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K. 11.; and Lieutenant-
Colonel
Prall, Royal Marines. At the rear of the flag-
staff a number of carriages, from which the horses were
taken, were drawn up, and the numerous fair occupants
of them had an excellent view of the exercises and evolu-
tions during the review. Amongst the spectators pre-
sent were Lord Sidney, Lord Clarence Paget, the Ladies
Paget, and a great number of ladies and gentlemen from
the metropolis and various parts of the country. Major
Thurlow and Captain Paget attended as Aides-de-Camp
to the Master-General. _ .

arrangements were of the most perfect description, and
we did not hear of the slightest accident to mar the pleas-
ing spectacle.

RAIL WAY INTE LLIGENCE.
EASTERN COUNTIES.
A special meeting of this company was held on Mon•
day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of consider-
ing and approving of two Bills now before Parliami.nt—
c ne for authorising the amalgamation of the Norfolk
Railway with the Eastern Counties, and the other to
permit the Eastern Union Company to sell or lease their
undertaking to the Eristern Counties Company, or to
amalgamate. Mr. Anderson took the chair.
Mr. RONEY, the secretary, read the advertisement
convening the meeting, and afterward: the side notes
of the Norfolk Amalgamation ; during which he
was interrupted several times, and eventually it was
determined the whole of the Bill should be read
throughout, containing forty-one clauses, which was
read accordingly.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that " the Bill be ap-
proved, subject to such alterations as Parliament may
insert."
Mr. KENNARD seconded the motion.
Mr. MACPFIAIL on moving an amendment, referred
to a letter which he had received by Mr. Price from
Mr. Till, the Secretary of the Norfolk Company' dated
September 4, 1848, which stated that the capital of the
Norfolk was 1,700,000/. It was now stated that
2,107,000/. had been expended, and he could not under-
stand how in so short a time the capital should be in-
creased 400,0001. He thought the matter should be in-
quired into before they gave their consent to the Bill,
and would more an amendment that this meeting do ad-
journ for one month.—(Great applause )
Mr. PRICE seconded the amendment, and, in doing so,
complained of the increased cost of the Norfolk from
1,300,0001. to 2,300,0001. He believed that 200,0001. or
300,0001. of it had been laid on for other purposes than
those of the Norfolk Company; and that all the accounts
submittedt to the Committee of Investigation, with re-
spect to the question of amalgamation, had been
" cooked."—(No, no.) He then read Mr. Till's letter,
which stated, in reply to a question, that the capital ex-
pended in September, 1848, amounted to 1,708,2501.;
the length of the lino open was eighty-two miles; and
the portion in course of construction was twelve miles in
length. He declared that the only witness examined in
favour of the Bill was Mr. Duncan, their late solicitor,
who was now employed in promoting the Bill.
Mr. KENNARD, a director, said it did not matter at
all to him when the truth came out, whether first or last.
He was deputy-chairman of the Northern and Eastern,
and once held shares in the Norfolk Company, but as
soon as he found that the interests of the Norfolk Com-
pany would clash with those of the Eastern Counties
Company, both he and Mr. Alderson sold their Norfolk
shares. He adverted to the apparent change of Mr.
Meek's opinion with regard to the amalgamation ques-
tion, and quoted passages from a former speech of that
gentleman, and also from a letter written by him in Sa-
turday's paper, stating that there was a difference of
25,000 L per annum between the accounts furnished to
the committee and those made out by one of the directors.
The chief discrepancy in the two accounts arose from the
circumstance of charging the revenue with the interest
which will be payable on the whole of the Norfolk ca-
pital when it is raised, instead of only charging the
revenue with the cost of the finished portion of the line.
This would account for the apparent discrepancy of
the 25,000/., which had no right to be charged against
the revenue of the last year. He then showed that the
statements with regard to the Norfolk traffic were by no
means fairly made out towards that company, and that
a statement sent him by Mr. Price, respecting the Eastern
Counties' receipts, perfectly agreed with his (Mr.lien-
nard's) calculations with regard to the amalgamation—
to the effect that if the traffic averaged 14,000/. per week,
the Eastern Counties shares would be worth 4/.; 15,0001.
a week, 81.; 16,0001. a week, 121.; 18,000/. a week, 161.,
and if they average 20,000/. per week, the shares would
be worth 201. He was sorry that the Lowestoft was
added to the Norfolk; but he felt satisfied that the amal-
gamation with the Norfolk would give them a perfect
hold of the Eastern Counties' district.
Mr. CASH explained that the amount mentioned by Mr.
Price only referred to the Norfolk line proper, and did
not include that of the Lowestoft Harbour and Railway.
Mr. KENNARD contended that if they did not amalga-
mate with the Norfolk, the latter would not be trifled
with, and would make a short line and convey their
traffic over the Great Northern Railway to London,
which would be a considerable advantage to the latter,
and a great loss to the Eastern Counties.
Mr. MEEK replied at some length to the charges re-
specting the two accounts. Tbere was clearly a dif-
ference of 25,787/. per annum between them, but he had
no confidence in either of the accounts. There was no
need of hastily d, siding on the amalgamation, because
the Eastern Counties had leased the live under a work-
ing agreement for more than seven years. He com-
plained that ho had received a proxy paper from the
company's office soliciting his proxy, which he calcu-
lated would cost, if sent to every shareholder, 900/. He
thought that indisiduals were not so patriotic as to pay
for these proxies out of their private funds, and he de-
precated putting the company to such an expense. He
concluded by moving " that the Bill be not approved,
and that the meeting be adjourned to the 2d of August
next to receive the report of the committee on the anaul-
gam ation."
Mr. EAST seconded the motion.
Mr. I'ioNEY, in reply to a question, stated, that all he
knew about the proxies was that, on that morning week,
he received a great many of them, printed officially, to
be sent to the shareholders; but the Board of Directors
had taken no part in it whatever. Ile had received let
tern from shareholders asking for proxies to be issued
by the company; and he had received letters from other
shareholders complaining of having received them.
A DIRECTOR said he would never permit the money
of the company to be exp:nded on proxies.
Mr. CHRISTIE explained, that the proxies had been
sent by a party of gentlemen holding stock to the amount
of 200,000/. in the Eastern Counties Company, who are
anxious that the amalgamation should take place, be-
lieving that it would be highly advantageous to the
Eastern Counties Company. Ile bail gone into the
figures and accounts of the Eastern Counties with Mr.
Glynn, and they were satisfied that if the low rates of
tolls fixed by Parliament were revised, and good ma-
nagement adopted on the part of the directors, they
would be enabled to earn a good dividend.—([lear,
hear.) The traffic on the railway only required to be
carried on in a business manner to pay the proprietors.
Mr. Hows recommended the proprietors to adept a
middle course, to have no more committees of inquiry,
but to select a board of directors as soon as possible;
and concluded by moving an amendment to the effect
that it was improper to proceed with any bills until a
board of directors be appointed.
After along discussion, in which Mr. Ellis, Mr. Josiah
Wilson, Mr. Kennard, Mr. Cash, Mr. Macphail, Mr.
Fryer, and Mr. Box took part, it was agreed to with-
draw the amendments proposed by Mr. Hews and Mr.
Macphail, in favour of Mr. ?sleek's amendment.
The amendment proposed by Mr. Meek was then put
to the meeting, and on a show of hands it was declared
by the Chairman to be lost —(Loud cries of .‘ Shame,
shame.") A poll was demanded. The original motion

ADJOURNED MEETING.
The adjourned meeting of the proprietors of the

IN FAVOUR OF THE NORFOLK AMALGAMATION.
Personal votes (138 proprietors) „, 3,287
Proxy votes(s47 proprietors) 17,71 G

The troops having formed into marching order, the
Royal Horse Artillery walked past, and the battalions
marched past at slow time, followed by the field batteries
at a walk. The battalions then marched past at quick
time, and the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries
at a trot. The Royal Horse Artillery afterwards went
past at full gallop, in excellent style.
The troops having proceeded to the south side of the
common, extending their line from east to west, tht
Royal Horse Artillery on the right of the battalions
and the field batteries on the left, Lieutenant-General
Sir Thomas. Downman with his staff rode forward, and,

the word of command being given, the Royal Horse
Artillery advanced in front, and brought up at the north
side of the common, covering the entire front of the
battalions, half a mile in advance, where they com-
menced firing. The field batteries having advanced a
short distance, also commenced firing, while the Royal
Horse Artillery were retiring to take up a new position.
The battalions then advanced to a line with the field
batteries, and commenced file-tiring; one troop of the
Royal Horse Artillery, having passed through the centre,
and two troops on the right of the battalions, they halted
and again fired, the whole of the line keeping up a conti-
nued firing. The Royal Horse Artillery again advanced
on the right, and the field batteries on the left, until consi-
derably in front of the battalions, when they fired, and
returned in a similar manner as from the first advance.
During the second advance of the Royal Horse Artillery
and field batteries the battalions formed into a line from
south to north of the common, the right battalion retir-
ing on the centre, and the left advancing at the same
time. The field batteries continued stationary and
tiring, while one troop of the Royal Horse Artillery, by
an echellon movement, passed through the opening be-
twixt the Ist and 2d battalions, and up the rear to the
right, while the two other troops galloped up to the same
position in front in an incredibly short space of time.
The whole of these manoeuvres were again repeated with
excellent effect, the celerity of the movements of the
Royal Horse Artillery and the steady and effective
movements of the field batteries, with the admirable de-
ploying and regularity of the movements of the batta-
lions, affording ample evidence of their efficiency in the
mounted and infantry exercises, which they performed
on this occasion in a manner highly creditable to those
who have taken such pains to render them perfect in
their profession. At the conclusion of the firing
the lice was again formed from south to north, and
Lieutenant-General Sir T. Downman and Colonel Crut-
tendon having advanced in front, the Master-General
rodo up to the Gallant Commandant, and expressed how
highly gratifi -d he was with all he had witnessed during
the review, the steadiness and soldierlike appearance of
the men under arms, and Rte superior manner in which
they performed their evolutions. The whole of the troops
then marched past, and the Royal Horse Artillery and
field batteries returned to their barracks.
The Ist battalion returned by the south-west gate, and
extended from the ha-ha to the mortar battery, to keep
the range clear. The 2d battalion returned by the blue-
gate and extended from the ha-ha to the mortar battery,
to keep the range clear on the left. The 3d battalion
returned by Sir IL D. Ross's house to the guard- mount-
ing parade, and sent two companies to keep a clear space
round the mess room. By these excellent arrangement:
all the spectators—and there could not have been less
than 20,000 present, had an excellent opportunity of
witnessing the firing from the mortar and ho .itzer
battery, the practice bring excellent, and the object
aimed at a flagstaff and ground-target 700 yards dis-
tant. After firing two rounds from each of the howit-
zers and two rounds from the mortars, the latter being
a salvo consisting of one 13-inch, three 10 -inch, and
three 8-inch shells, fired by Lieutenant-Colonel Wil-
liams's Company, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colanel Mu:beau, with Captain Domville, Captain,Llw-
ranee, and Lieutenants Freer, Mowbray, Barstow. and
Hardy, the Master-General, with the distinguished party
accompanying him, proceeded to the mess-room and par-
tota of an elt-gantdejeuner.
The early part of the day was dull and threatened
rain, but, with the exception of a few drops, which fell
when the firing commenced, the spectators experienced
only a profusion of dust, the wind blowing a strong
bresz.4. After the carriages were drawn up near the
flagstaff, the public were admitted to the inner circle, and
allotted to stand in one unbroken line, which prevented
the crowding and pushing which has often occurred on
former occasions; indeed, throughout the entire day the

Company, and upon which their report was founded, did
not give a correct view of the income and expenditure of

was not sanctioned by the committee; and Mr. Meek
had been urged to alter the wordi❑g of his amendment;
that he refused to do so; and that the committee exceed-
ingly regretted he should have put forth such an
amendment.
A very strong opinion was expressed that by a careful
and economical attention to the munaoetnent of the rail-
way a very fair dividend might be secured to the
proprietors.
A cordial vote of thanks was given to the Chairman for
the manner in which he had presided ever the recent
meetings of the shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN returned Clanks, and the meeting
broke up.

IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.—The first official an-
nouncement of the approaching visit of her Majesty
was made yesterday at a meeting of the corporation, the
snhjoin d communications having been read by the
Town Clerk:—

"Dublin Castle, June 30.

" 'My Lord, —I have the honour to transmit herewith,
by command of the Lord-Lieutenant, the enclosed copy
of a letter ri ecivzd from S.?cretary Sir George Grey,
communicating her Msjesty's intention to visit Ireland.
His Excellency has much pleasure in making this an-
nouncement, which he fcels will be a source of gratifica-
tion to you and your fellow citizens.
"I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient
servant, " T. N. REDINGTON.
" The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
"' Whitehall, June 27.

"My Lord,—l have the satisfaction to inform your
Excellency, that I have received the Queen's commands
to acquaint you that her Majesty hopes to be able, in
the course of the present summer, to fulfill the intention
which you are aware she has long entertained of visiting
Ireland.

`• The distress, unfortunately still prevalent in that
country, precludes the Queen from visiting Dublin in
state, as any large expenditure on mere ceremony would
be ill-timed and inconvenient to her subjects. Yet her
Majesty does not wish to let another year pass without
visiting a part of her dominions with which she has for
so long a time been anxious to become acquainted.
" Her Majesty, therefore, proposes to embark in the
Royal yacht, and to visit in the first instance the Cove of
Cork, and thence to proceed along the Irish coast to
Dublin. After remaining there for a few days, during
which time her Majesty will be the guest of your Excel-
lency, she will proceed along the Irish coast nrirthseard
to visit Belfast, and thence cross to Scotland. Although
the precise time of her Majesty's visit cannot yet be
fixed, it will probably take place as early in August as
the termination of the session of Parliament will permit,
and I feel assured that this announcement of her inten-
tions will be received with great satisfaction by her
Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects in Ireland.
" I am, with great truth and regard, my Lord, your
Excellency's obedient servant, "' G. GREY.
" His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, "
Mr. Reynolds, the Repeal Member for Dublin, in
moving that the above letters be inserted in the minutes,
threw out a hint to her Majesty's advisers, suggesting
the policy of building a palace for the future reception
of the Queen, either in the Phmnix-pack or in the ma-
rine suburbs of Kingstown or Dalkey. This he looked
upon as a preliminary step towards the holding of trien-
nial Parliaments in Dublin; that is, if in the mean time
they did not succeed in coaxing her Majesty to concede
to her Irish subjects the privilege of legislating for them-
selves in the "Old Curiosity Shop" on Burgh-quay, or
some other locality equally hallowed in the memory of
the well-plucked citizens of Dublin. The proposition
having been favourably entertained by other members of
the worshipful body, the motion was passed, with sundry
protestations of a future oblivion of all creed and party
distinctions; after which the Council proceeded to
nominate a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, the
candidates being Alderman Kinahan (Conservative),
and Mr. John Reynolds, M.P. Their Honours then, in
fulfilment of their promise to live henceforward in
amicable brotherhood, having badgered each other to
their hearts' content, and a division being called for, the
Lord Mayor announced that Mr. Reynolds had been
elected by a majority of 18.
THE WEATHER.—Since yesterday evening, and up to
this hour, the rain has fallen in torrents, and throughout
the night it blew a perfect hurricane from the west. The
few accounts of the state of the crops, which came to
hand to-day, continuo to be of the most cheering
description.
MURDER IN TIPPERARY.—Mr. Denis Egan, son of
Mr. Michael Egan, of Ballydonagh, Monegal, near
Dunkerin, county Tipperary, was shot on Sunday, the
Ist instant, by the hand of an assassin, while going
to chapel.
