MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Scarcely any English Wheat was on sale in to.day'ls
market. The few samples brought forward were taken,
at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday, 90
at which the trade closed firmly. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have somewhat exceeded 9,000 quarters.
Selected samples of both red alai white commanded a
steady salt, at Lull currencies; but the middling and in'
ferior kinds were a slow inquiry. Grinding Barley soia
freely. All other kinds were quite as dear. In Malt,
scat cely any business waa transacted. The best parcel'
of Oats were firm, at the late improvement in value.
Damp s ruled heavy. In Beans, Peas, ludisa
Corn and Flour very few transactions were repoited.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)
DECLARATION OF THE POLL. „
This being the day fixed by the authorities for tr
declaration of the poll, long before twelve o'clock, the
hour at which it was supposed the proceedingelwoul
have commenced, a dense crowd of people occupied tb,°
Guildhall, anxious to witness the cersmony. One o'clock'
however, was the hour fixed for the commencement
the business, and the multitude congregated in the 11
employed the interval until the authorities and partite.;
principally interested in the contest appeared upon tusl
hustings in cracking jokes in little coteries among„
themselves. Some time before the proceedings began tPI
galleries on each side of the hall were partially occupies
with elegantly-dressed ladies. A convenient space betwee
the reporters and the crowd was barricaded off and keg
clear by a body of policemen, which was an admiro,
u'd
arrangement, in that the representatives of the Pre-
were not incommoded by the pressure of the multitude.
At ten minutes to one o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Finnis, &kb. P
returning officer, entered the hall, accompanied i
several Aldermen, Mr. Secondary Potter, and othero o
the civic authorities.
Baron Rothschild, accompanied by his mover
seconder, also entered the hall, which was a signal Iv'
the most hearty cheering for some minutes.
Lord John Manners, together with his movei oDd
-
seconder, made his appearance at the same moment, an_4.
his reception was marked by mingled hissing and eheer"
Proclamation having been made,
Mr. Sheriff Fusuiis stood forward and said the Sherig, !
did declare and proclaim that upon casting up the po"'
books it appeared the number for Baron Lionel Nat'l
Rothschild, citizen of London, were 6,017 (14°11A
cheers)—and for Lord John Mauners—(Hisses an-
cheers)—citizen of London, there were 2,814
and disapprobation.) The worthy Sheriff then ask
for a fair and impartial hearing for every gentletnon
who should address them. _ _

Baron Rontscuren stood forward to address 'the
electors, and was received with the most enthusiast
cheers. He said—Gentlemen, brother electors of th°
great city, I thank you most sincerely for this receP'
tion. I thank you most sincerely for your exertioo*
Gentlemen.—(Cheers.) If I wished to express my per
sonal feelings on the present occasion, I could not hn"
words to do so. We have all been working in a comteets
cause.—(Hear, hear.) To you and us all, individuallP
thanks are due, and every one individually is satisfied'
I am sure, at the results of this election, as I. Set
myself. Gentlemen, we have gained a great victor,'"
(Hear, and loud cheers)--and Ido not wish to expregl
so much my great satisfaction at the majority, as I de.'
the sentiments and at the spirit which were prevaili
yesterday among the electors, and among the friendsl
the cause. Our majority, brother electors, consists, on,
the votes which were given in my favour were vote'
given by our political friends, who came forward
this occasion as they always do, and by a great many
our political opponents. (Cheers.) Their I)°,:i
litical opinions are not changed ; they do oui
tome forward to support a Jew, they do not
come forward to support one who differs P"
religion from them, but they come forward t"„
support the rights and privileges of the citizens of Lee;
don.—(lmmense cheering.) Gentlemen, I can say,
honestly say, that that sentiment was expressed to s'
i
yesterday in a great many of our polling-booths, on,
many votes which, on ordinary occasions, would hot
been given against me, were given in my favour, only
support me as the candidate whom you chose at the las'
election.—(Cheers.) There is another circumstance n:
which I beg to remark, and which you will be so kind
as to notice. We have had on our registration 1,700
voters who voted for me at the last election erased foes
the list of voters; I therefore have had 12,000 net(
voters and 12.000 new supporters, besides a great made
of my friends who were too sanguine, and who kv°o
we should have a very large majority, and who left tha,
election to those who were more eager and more earnest
It we had not been so certain of victory I am sure We
should have polled eight or ten thousand. Now, with
regard to the object of this election. In the advet:
tisement which the friends of the Noble Lau'
my oppOnent, have inserted in to-day's paper'
they come forward "to maintain the rights and Po'
vileges of the House of Lords,"—(Disapprobatiote)
Now listen, my triends, we never wish to interfere with
the rights and privileges of the House of Lords, 1"
respect them, and we know if we do not respect thein
they will not respect us.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Therefore, gentlemen, as we wish that the rights ao,
privilege of the citizens of London shall be respected'
so, gentlemen, will we respect the rights and privilege,
of the House of Lords.—(Renewed cheers. A cry 0
"No Bishops," and laughter.) This election, gentle'
men, was to prove and to test public opinion.—(Hesri
hear.) This election was to see if the opinion which
you expressed at the last election was on
opinion too precipitately made, or one that
you did not wish to confirm. It was, gentlemen,.o°
election upon which we should have a great and glorioul
demonstraion of public opinion.—(Hear, hear.) Well,
lave we not had that demonstration?—(A responsive
shout, " Yes, and will have again.") We hope not In
soon ; we hope to be able to do without it. We
have had that demonstration of public opinion, stwi
I am happy in having seen so many Noble Lords 11
the City yesterday and the day before, and I hope and
trust they will convey to their friends in the House of
Lords, and to their relations, the spirit of opinioo
which is now so prevalent in this city,—(Loud
cheers.) They will then say we have bee°
acting constitutionally—(Hear, hear)—that we have
done nothing with which any person can find fault. We
have only wished to assert our rights and privileges'
Now, gentlemen, I am very happy indeed in having thil
public opportunity of stating what I stated privatelt
to the Noble Lord (Loud John Manners). .°
am happy in having enjoyed his friendship
for many years, in knowing him intimately, and I,cao
well say a more amiable nobleman and gentleman doe
not exist—(Loud cheers)—and I only hope that our
friendship may remain the same after this election----
(Hear, hear)—as it has been till now. He came for"
ward to assert the principles of a line of policy which
his party think fit to propose. Listen to him; if you
don't approve of them that is a different thing; but, 0°
you have been kind enough to listen to me, I hope you,
will do the same to him. Yesterday was a glorious day
for us, and I hope and trust we shall have a Macaulay,
or some great man who will write it on the noblest Wig!,
of the history of England.—(Cheers.) I am confident,.
the Noble Lords will pay due attention to this demon:,
titration of public opinion. I hope and trust,
I shall not have to call upon you again for'
some time to claim another and a second denten: 1,
stration of the same sentiments and feelings whie:
you have exhibited yesterday and to-day. But, if au
should should not be the case, I boldly and firmly say, I intni
vidually will not hesitate to use every constitutions'
