TO rHE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
. pTITEP. ELESCOTOURIS.,IIWARK.
Ri
lIOWEVER great the satisfaction I derive
nhoosi„
,frDrn the honour you have conferred on me, in
still hien rie as your Representative in Parliament, I attach
erimportance to the political bearing of the defeat you
have given to a strange combination of Tories, Chartists, and
Anarchists. who were aided by unlimited funds, by a powerful
Press, by heal official influence, and by agents who, when so-
licitation failed to obtain their ends, unscrupulously resorted to
coercion.
! You have shown them that religious inquisition, hypocrisy,
and persecution, will meet with as little countenance from you
as bribery, or an affectation of over-zeal for the sufferings of
the People, whose rights are wantonly trampled upon by the
same parties when ambition renders despotism more convenient.
~ I triumph in the example you have given to the lovers of
liberty in other parts of the kingdom where elections are now
going on, and whose spirit may have been partially damped by
the boasting of that faction which, upon the undeniable ferment
thatexists, founds the hope of dominion over the Sovereign and
the people.
They have long been prophesying destruction to the cause of
Reform as the result of the next General Election, and you
have shown them what any man has to expect at your hands
rho does not (equally independent of the Government and of
its enemies) trust only to his known determination to save his
Country by promoting the welfare of its inhabitants.
There are no expressions by which I could thank you for
your exertions in this contest which would not be inadequate to
my sense of them. It will never be effaced from my mind, and
I trust that it will ever animate me in the fulfilment of the du-
ties I have undertaken to perform.

I have the honour to be,
Brother Electors,
Your faithful and obedient servant,

RO YAL EXCHANGE.

We give the folio ving details as a eurksity. They
are extracted from 's report made to the Court of Com-
mon Council on Thursday. The Committee was ap-
pointed in August, 1838, to make arrangements for
purchasing the propert3 required for the site of the
Exchange, and reported that, with two exceptions, the
whole of the claims had been adjusted. It is amusing,
on looking over the items, to see what an enormous
swallow the members of the Corporation have. Both
as regards the site of the Exchange, and the approaches
to London-bridge, they claimed three times as much as
was awarded to them, and possibly get three times as
much as they were entitled to. These Corporators
seem to think the City funds were created for their
especial use, and therefore consider it no blame to pocket,
whatever they can lay their hands upon. Can any one
wonder why they are so silent about Corporation
Reform ? It would be an act of suicide on their
part to allow a , peg of the venerable and sacred
structure to be touched, for it is reasonable to concluzie
that, if the annual estimates for the City expenditure
were submitted to an impartial body of men, the half'
million would be cut down in the same proportion—
that is, to about 170,0001., or perhaps to one half that
sum. If they allow Radical Reform to establish itself
in the Corporation, they must be the greatest dolts in
existence. This is the statement alluded to :

Buildings purchased for the new Royal Exchange, and
avenues. Estimate 150,0001. For which there were
fifty-six claims. _

42 Cases claimed £69,263 settled by Committee

at £38,852
8 Cases freeholds 107,981 referred to Surveyors,

Mr. R. L. Jones, in presenting the above report and
statement, observed that the London Bridge Committee
was far from being a popular Committee with the Cor-
poration. He had a paper in his hand which would sa-
tisfactorily assiga a reason, by showing the difference be-
tween the amounts claimed by Members of the Corpo-
ration, and the sums for which these claims were settled
by that obnoxious Committee. The following is the
paper referred to :

A portion of the Expenditure of the London Bridge Ap-
proaches Fund, commencing 1824 and ending 1838 :-
668 cases of claims amounted to £1,425.128

and 100 to 1 agst any other. About half an hour before
the start, Launcelct and Gibraltar were 2 to 1 each
(taken), the latter having the call. After one failure (not
a false start, as the word was not given), the lot got away
admirably, Polydorus leading, the Youug-un second, Ca-
lypso, Maroon, Launcelot, and Gibraltar next, and all the
others in capital places. This order of running lasted only
to the hill, where Polydorus declined, and Maroon took his
place, followed by Launcelot and Calypso, the others re-
maining in the same positions they occupied under the com-
mand of Polydorus. In descending the hill Launcelot
headed Maroon, and at the bottom of it was making play,
pulling double, Maroon lying second, Calypso third, and
Gibraltar, Trustee, and Dr. Caius close up with them,
the Young-uu having retired from the front rank. In mak-
ing the turn at the Red House Gibraltar headed the mare,
but could not reach Scott's horses, who maintained their
positions to the end, Launcelot winning easy by three parts
of a length, and Maroon, hard held, beating Gibraltar for the
second money by about a neck ; many arc of opinion that no-
thing but the declaration to win with Launcelot prevented
his winning the race. Be this as it may, he pulled up
full of running, and could have beaten the Newmarket
horse by two or three lengths had it been required. Ca-
lyso was fourth, the Doctor at her side, Trustee sixth and
Mountain Sylph seventh ; the others tailed off. The pace
was good, but not first-rate. The winner is own brother

LAMBETH.

Edward Bullock, Esq., and Sir Walter Buchanan
Riddell, Bart., the two Barristers appointed to re-
vise the Lists of Voters for the Borough of Lam-
beth, opened their Court at the Horns, Kennington,
yesterday. No op nt appeared on behalf of either
political party, consequently the proceedings were un-
important, being confined to objections taken by
the parish authorities, principally on account of the
non-payment of the Poor-rate in time.

Tilere will be an increase of about 200 votes en the
list over that of last year, but it is impossible to say
which party will gain, because the names have been
inserted by the parish officers without respect to party.

THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.

This week's arrivals of English Grain have only been
moderate, and of Foreign Wheat good. The dnty having
advanced to 103. Bd., the holders of Old Wheat were firm
in their demands, and endeavoured to obtain rather higher
prices, but the trade was slow at Monday's rates. In other
grain no variation. Flour met a fair sale, the stock being
low. London Averages—Wheat, 4,629 qrs., at 68s. Id.
per quarter ; Oats, 4,896 qrs., at 28s. Id. per quarter;
Beans, 568 qrs., at 453. 11d. per quarter; Peas, 197 qrs.
at 475. 9d. per quarter.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

The trade was very dull for every thing, the supply
being far beyond the quantity required, but no further re-
duction in Beef or Mutton can be quoted. Lamb was
from 2d. to 6d. cheaper. Pork unaltered. Coarse Veal
advanced 4d., but prime was unaltered. Beef 3s. to

WINDOW D UTIES.

The Morning Post says, the following letter from
Mr. Joseph Hume has been forwarded to that paper,
by the gentleman to whom it was addressed
(Copy.) " Ityde, Sept. 9,1840.
" answer to your letter of the 7th instant,
I beg to inform you that the pledge given by Lord
Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, to me in
the House, at the time one-half the window-duty was
taken off, was, that on all houses then built, and where
',°"le windows had been shut up to prevent the charge
.I°P window-light, there NEVER should be any ADDI-
11°NAL charge made for any of those windows that
7Hi.ght be re-opened, or for any new windows which
aught be made in such houses. Tut; rate for window-
light charged at the time of the repeal was, as I clearly
tbluderstood, to be the greatest rate that could afterwards
charged for that house.
" When the addition of ten per cent. to the window-
': gh t
duty, and also a new survey, were proposed by
e present Chancellor of the Exchequer, I, in my
Place in Parliament, claimed for the public the he-
lfit of the pledge given by Lord Althorp, and I was
acormea by Mr. Baring then, and afterwards in the
P. 'lse on a question 'put to him by me, that he

LONDON:
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1840,

We see by a Brighton Paper that the boy-
growers of Sussex held a meeting at the George
Inn, Hurst Green, on Monday last, and agr zed
unanimously humbly to beg and solicit of the T rea-
sury the postponement of the payment of the last
year's hop-duty. Four hundred persons, it is said,
attended the meeting, and they all acquiesced in the
statement of the memorial, " that the farmers are
in an unusual state of distress." On account of
that distress, they humbly supplicate to he reliered
from their share of the public burdens. In fact,
they supplicate to be allowed to hold the public
money which they have, as tax-gatherers, coliected
from the people, and to use that money without
paying any interest on it far a year. This may ap-
pear a startling assertion, but it is susceptible of
proof.

There is no doubt that the tax on hops raises the
price of hops to the consumers. The hop-growers
must, as the rule, and, in the long run, be pail for
the expense of growing hops with the ordinary pro-
fits of stock, otherwise hops would cease to be
grown. Of course, the whole of that expense is
ultimate.:y paid by the consumers. If, in addi-
tion to that expense, the farmer has to pay air.;
Government a tax of 2d. on every pound of ho;-,s
he grows, he must levy that also on the consumer
in the price, or not be paid the expense of cu'Aiva-
tion, raid the hop culture would decline. It is
dear, therefore, that the hop-growers
duty on the consumer in the pr levy the
ice of the
hops, and, so levying it, they ought to hand it
over to the Government. Very few farmers
most likely
'
we believe, now have on hand their
last y
growth of hops. T'ney were all sold ear s
be 'o e the month of May ; the bulk of them were
even sold before last Christmas, and the growers
received the price of them, including the duty,
which they levy for the State, from the consumers.
In all cases where they have sold their hop,
they have actually pocketed the duty ; and now,
leaded by Sir H. MICKELTHWAIT, and supported
'fly Mr. HODGES, M.P., both of whose last year's
1. :( have most probably been paid out of the very
money which their farmers have levied on the beer-
drinkers, they very intrepidly ask that the money
of the State, or rather of the rest of the people,
shall be left for another twelvemonths in their
Pockets. They do this, too, at the very time
when, for theirbehocf, the greatest distress is in-
flicted on the other classes by the scoundrel Corn-
laws—a vast and nefarious system of legal plunder,
which is defended on the ground that the farmers
are flourishing, and that, whatever may become of
other interests, that of agriculture must be sus-
tained. No other class asks for a loan of money
or, if it asks, is pert
be
the State ;
rily denied. No other class seeks to be
public burden,
relieved from its share of the
wh# it inflict a heavier burden than the stag

BLACK WALL REGATTA.

A very excellent contest took place on Thursday amongst
the watermen bel,inging to Blackwall for a purse of sove-
reigns, given by the Rail way Company. The match was
with five heats amongst six scullery, and the attendance
on the river and shore was most extraordinary. By the
regulations of the match three boats started in the first
heat, and the same number in the second, and the first of
each of these lay-by, while the two last rowed for a third
heat. The fourth heat was composed of the two first of
these, and the winner of the first heat and the winner of
the second, and the two men who came in first in this dis-
puted the fifth and grand heat. At the middle of the day
the following took their places for the first heat, the start
being from Blackwall-stairs, and extending in the distance,
twice repeated, a mile and a half :—John Roberts, light
blue; James Pain, yellow; and J. A ldons, red. Light
blue soon took the lead, and maintained it, winning by a
length or so ; yellow was second. The second heat con-
sisted of J. Egalton, pink ; George Atkins, blue ; and H.
Boulton, green. This was a good heat, well rowed, and
won in style by pink. Yellow, red, blue, and green then
went away for the third heat, and after labouring as much
as they well could, blue was first, and yellow second. The
fourth heat consisted of light blue, pink, yellow, and blue ;
pink came in first, blue second, and yellow third. At six
o'clock pink and blue went away for the grand heat ; for
five minutes nearly they were scull and scull, pink took the
lead, and won by two or three lengths.

REGISTRATIONS.

CITY OF LONDON.
IMPORTANT TO PENSIONRD LIVERYMEN.

On tho Tallow Chandlers' list coming before the
Court, the Clerk of the Company gated that be had
allowed, by mistake, the name of a pkrty to remain on
the list who was receiving a pension froll the Company.
Mr. Mvx.riE was far from thinking that the receipt
of a pension disqualified a Liveryman.
The Clerk of the Company stated that he had
omitted a great number from the list under the impres-
sion that such parties were not entitled to the franchise.
_ _ _ _

Mr. MYLNE would consider the case, and give his
opinion on a future day.
Mr. TROTT obi erved that it had been decided the
word " alms" meant parochial relief.
Mr. Samuel Travers, a liveryman of the Fishmongete
Company, and residing at Sydenham, was objected to
by the Tories on the ground that his residence was
not within the prescribed distance. It appeared, how-
ever, if taken as the crow flies, it would be within the
seven miles.

Mr. MYLNE expressed his belief that that had been
held sufficient by a Committee of the House of Com-
mons, but he would look into it.

Mr. Qum then commenced his argument upon a re-
served point, involving a great number of case-, as to
whether the Revising Barrister had a right to alter the
list by changing the residence of a party, without a
claim having been made for that purpose.
Mr. 'nun.? having been heard in oppposition,
Mr. MYLNE said he would give his opinionto-morrow
(this day).
