TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.
Those electors who have this day recorded their votes in favour of
Lerd 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.
Tkey 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 llouse 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 milli.
fication 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 un7recedented state of things as
this election presents can be suffered to remain.

On behalf of Lord John Manners' Committee.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same princip'es, 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 Ms
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing 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, two-
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 cast secure
through this Society.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
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 Parliament—
me 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 Eastern Counties Company, or to
amalgamate. Mr. Anderson took the chair.
Mr. RoNEY, the secretary, read the advertisement
convening the meeting, and afterwards the side notes
of the Norfolk Amalgamation Bill; 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."

spamtADlLsecoonndmeodvtihneg manotio
Mr. ImEANrc
amendment,Mr. iL
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
2,107,0001. 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 move 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 '2,300,000/. 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 qtiestion, that the capital ex-
pended in September, 1848, amounted to 1,708,2501.;
the length of the line 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. Anderson 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 25,0301., 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. Ken-
nard's) calculations with regard to the amalgamation—
to the effect that if the traffic averaged 14,0004 per week,
the Eastern Counties shares would be worth 41.; 15,0001.
a week, 81,; 16,000/. a week, 121.; 18,000/. a week, 16/.,
and if they average 20,0001. 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 soma length to the charges re-
specting the two accounts. There was clearly a dif-
ference of 25,757/. per annum between them, but he had
no confidence in either of the accounts. There was no
need of hastily d tiding on the amalgamation, because
the Eastern Counties had leased the line under a work-
ing agreement for more than seven years. He com-
plained that he 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 individuals 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. Ile
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 anaal-
gam ation."
Mr. EAST seconded the motion.
Mr. RONEY, 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 D.rectors
had taken no part in it whatever. He had received let-
ters 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 expended on proxies.
Mr. CHRISTIE explained, that the proxies had been
sent by a party of gentlemen holding stock to the amount
of 200,0001. 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. He had 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.—(Hear,
hear.) The traffic on the railway only required to be
carried on in a business manner to pay the proprietors.
Mr. lows recommended the proprietors to adopt 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 a long discussion, in which Mr. Ellis, Mr. Josiah
Wilson, Mr. Kennard, Mr. Cash, Mr. Macphail, Mr.
Fryar, and Mr. Box took part, it was agreed to
wit i-
draw the amendments proposed by Mr. Hows and Mr.
Macphail, in favour of Mr. Meek'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
wai then put, and declared by the Chairman not to be
carried.
The CHAIRMAN then submitted the Bill for permitting
the Eastern Union Company to amalgamate with the
Eastern Counties Company at any future time, provided
that three-fifths of the shareholders should give their
assent to the amalgamation.
Mr. RONEY read the marginal notes of the Bill, which
contained 22 clauses.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the Bill was merely a per-
missive one ; it did not bind th to amalgamate. Ile
then moved a resolution to th em e
etre-et that the Bill be
approved"
An amendment was then moved that the Bill be not
approved, and on a show of hands the amendment was

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL A.R-

TILLERY.
WOOLWICH, JULY 3.—The whole of the Royal Reg,
ment of Artillery assembled on the parade-ground a
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-Colonel 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.H., 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, R.E.,
and of the Royal Sappers and Miners.
Shortly after eleven o'clock Field-Marshal the Marquis
of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., and G.C.H., Master-
General of the Ordnance, accompanied by Lieutenant-
General Lord Viscount Hardinge, Major-
General Sir Hew 1). Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-
General cf 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
Lordbhip was joined by Lieutenant-General Lord Fitzroy
Somerset, K.C.8., Military Secretary to the Cowman-
der-in-Coief, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, K.G.,
Lieutenant-Colonel of the G loucester Yeomanry Cavalry;
Colonel Campbell, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel
the Earl of Cardigan, 11th or Prince Albert's Hussars;
Lieutenant-Colonel ardinge, K. 11.; and Lieutenant-
Colonel Prall, Royal Marines. At the rear of the flsg-
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.
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 Hone 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, the
Royal Horse Artillery on the right of the battalions
and the field batteries on the left, Lieutenant-General
Sir Thomas Downman with his staff rude forward, and,
the word of command being given, the Royal Horse
Artillery advanced in front, and brought up at the north
of t
side of the common, covering the entire front of the
e 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

t t
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 Roy-al 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 echcllon movement, passed through the opening be-
twixt the let 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-
plo) ing 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 line was again formed from south to north, and
Lieutenant-General Sir T. Downman and Colonel Cruts
tendon having advanced in front, the Master-General
rode 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 the 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 H. 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 arrangements
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 being 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-
Colonel Macbean, with Captain Domville, Captain Law-
ranee, and Lieutenants Freer, Mowbray, Barstow, and
Hardy, the Master-General, with the distinguished party
accompanying him, proceeded to the mess-room and par-
took of an elegant dejeuner.
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
breeze. After the carriages were drawn up near the
flagstaff, the public were admitted to the inner circle, and
allowed 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

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

"Dublin Castle, June 30.
"'My Lord,—l have thehonour to transmit herewith,
by command of the Lord-Lieutenant, the enclosed copy
of a letter rfceivA from S2cretary Sir George Grey,
communicating her 2,lujesty's intention to visit Ireland.
His Excellsncy has much ploasure in maling this an-
nouncement, which he f. els will be a source of gratifica-
tion to you and your fellow citizens.
"I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obFdient
servant, " T. N. REDINGTON.
" The Right lion. the Lord Mayor."
"' Whitehall, June 27.

"My Lord,—l have the satisfaction to inform your
Excellency, that I have received the Green's commands
to acquaint you that her Majesty h,lies to bo 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 lit r 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 taw days, during
which time her Majesty will be the guest of your Excel-
lency, she will proceed along the Irish coast northward
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,K.G.' "
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 Phoenix-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 pissed, 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 yt ar, 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 heart.' 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 througtiout
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, continue to be of the most cheering
description.
MURDER IN TIPPERARY.—Mr. Denis Egan, son of
Mr. Michael Egan, of l3allydonagh, Mone,al, near
Dunkerin, county Tipperary, was shot on Sunday, the
Ist instant, by the hand of an assassin, while going
to chapel.
THE FUNDS.—Three per Cent. Consols, shut; Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock, 914-; Bank Stock, 192
191 ; Royal Bank Shares, 11; City of Dublin Steam-
packet of 1836, 35 ; Waterford and Limerick Rail-
way, Bi.
