The Sun.
London, England, 1841-06-16 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY,

in their aggregate numbers and the popularity of
the Commodore, interfere with their being in
readiness to be first at the ballot-box. The elec-
tion, virtually, takes place this day. • The- re-
tirement of one of the candidates is tantamount
to the return of the other to the House of
Commons. The friends of NAPIRR—the advo-
cates of free trade and cheap bread, are • now
called upon to bestir themselves in right earnest.
Let the Reformers remember that if, in conse••
quence of apathy on their part, the Gallant
Commodore retire &writhe field, theirs will be
the shame—theirs the disgrace of having, to a
certain extent, betrayed their country in the
hour of her greatest need. Let every Radical
now do his duty by coming- forward in the full
confidence that his vote will decide the election.
Every vote is of the utmost importance. The thou-
sand from which a unit is subtracted is a thousand
no longer. The man who, neglecting to exercise
his own political rights, trusts to the patriotism
ofneighbours having more leisure than himself;
is unworthy of the enjoyment of the rights of.
citizenship, and of the protection of the laws.
We shall expect, therefore, to see every Re-
former in the borough early at his post this
day, to record by his vote the triumph of
NAPIER, and the downfal of the Corn-laws.
We again revert to the great importance of
the metropolitan boroughs being the first to set a
good example to the country. Any semblance of
a reaction in Marylebone would not fail to be
turned to the worst account by the Tories. The
question is not—Have the Radical constituencies
entire confidence in Ministers? hut, Does the
county want cheaper bread, cheaper sugar, and a
more extended market for the products of manu-
facturing industry ? This question the electors of
Marylebone are called upon to solve to-morrow,
and the decision of a constituency so numerous,
so generally enlightened, and so cognizant of the
evils resulting from monopolies which enhance
the price, and diminish the quantity of the neces-
saries of life, cannot but have an extensive influ-
ence. London, with its adjacent boroughs, is to the
nation what the heart is to the human body,
where every pulsation tells upon the extremities.
Hence the necessity that the political action of
this mighty heart should be sound, vigorous, and
healthy ; and hence the urgency with which we
press evePy Liberal elector within the bills of
mortality, to the exhibition of a ten-fold zeal in
doing his duty. Electors of Marylebone ! Re-
member your gallant struggle to obtain the
Reform Bill, and bethink yourselves that you
are now called upon to decide whether that Bill
shall bear the rich harvest of ripe fruits which
it at first promised, or whether, like the barren
fig-tree, it only put forth a leafy foliage.
Remember, that by turning your backs
on NA PIER you content yourselves with the
foliage and abandon the fruits of Reform.
You are now the true Poor Law Com-
missioners, for the fate of the poor is in your
hands. it is you who wit! now regulate their
dietary, by deciding whether you will obtain for
them employment and cheap bread, or confine
them to the tread-mill and the workhouse. You
have a high, and in the present state of the
country, a most sacred duty to perform. For
ourselves, we have unbounded confidence in you.
May you confirm it by the cordial reception
which you will this day give to Commodore Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, as a candidate the most worthy
to represent your influential Borough in the
House of Common,: !

The mectingat the London Tavern yesterday,
to receive Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was never sur-
passed•in wealth, rank, talents, and numbers by
any similar meeting. it was a high honour to
the City, which has, at length, taken up the noble
cause of free trade in a noble spirit. Its example
will be most efficacious in producing good deeds
throughout the land. We can venture to praise
it, because we have, heretofore, reproved it for its
slackness.
Of the speech of the Chairman, Mr. JONES
LLOYD, a gentleman distinguished amongst
the wealthy men of London for great wealth,
and amongst the learned and accomplished
j inhabitants of ,this metropolis for great Re-
quirements, it is impossible to speak too
highly. It was discreet, manly, eloquent. He
described the cause for which they had assem-
bled as the cause of wisdom and justice, the
cause of reasonable liberality and enlightened
legislation, which were, at the same time, the
characteristics of his own speech. His manner
of introducing Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the meet-

ing, was at once dignified and flattering to
the Noble Lord and to the great City he
will no doubt represent. We have no other re-
gret in referring to Mr. J. LLOYD'S eloquent
speech, than the regret that no enlightened and
intelligent constituency have yet secured his
services in that House which his knowledge and
his eloquence are so well calculated to adorn.
Lord JoHN RUSSELL spoke nobly. He ex-
plained clearly the grounds on which the Mi-

nisters rest their measures and justify an appeal
to the people. He was able to say that Lord LEI-
CESTER and Lord SPENCER are both favourable to
an alteration in the Corn-laws, and that the latter,
had Lord FITZWILLIAM'S motion been brought
forward, would have voted for it. The Noble
Lord, already distinguished as the champion of
religious liberty, and in that character the great
friend of Dissenters, has by his speech yester-
day, and by the great impulse he has given to
the doctrines of free trade, now earned for him-
self the title of the champion of commercial free-
dom. In the City of London he can, have no
higher character, and men of all political princi-
ples will unite to secure his return. We under-
stand, in fact, that many professed Tories, but
friends of free trade, will support him, so that his
return will not only be sure, but triumphant.
The Noble Lord Properly said of the opposing
candidates, that they have shrouded their pur-
poses in a studied obscurity. They dare not, in
fact, openly oppose doctrines and measures which

are essential to the prosperity of London. The
meeting was unanimous in resolving to support
the four Reform candidates, and we trust that the
return of the whole, as well as that of Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, is assured.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
The market for the public securities was firm, with a limited
business doing. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
Annuities were at 93 to 97,1; and the Three per Cents. at 894-
to 88i. Consols were marked 89 to 896 ex.-div. ; and Ex-
, chequer Bills were again at ss. to 7s. premium. A sale to
some extent in Bank Stock ha-3reduced the value of that secu-
rity, which, from being so little dealt in, is sensibly affected by
any bargain of magnitude. The price to-day was 168 for
Money, and 169 for the Account.
The settlement in the Foreign Market seemed to be against
the Buis, who, however, if they never have more serious
losses to make good than at present, will neither make nor lose
f ,rtuties. The Active Spanish Bonds were at 224 for iinnie-
diate delivery, and at 22i to ,I,- for the Account. The Pasyiv,
Bonds were at 5 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at
33k ; Mexican. at 271; Brazilian, at 68,1 to 671, being a fur-
ther decline; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 521; and
Russian at 1134 to .1.
The market tor the Railway shares was jinanimate to-day,
hut the previous quotations were supported. Brighten were
sto 5,4 • Blackwall, ; Cto!don, A ; and Cheltenham ani
Great Western, 351 discount. Birmingham and Gloucester
New shares were 1;1 ; London acd Birmingham, 69 ; South
Western Tenths, ; and North Midland Thirds, premium.
Provincial Bank ofrelind Shares were I 7 premium.
The following are the official returns of the exports of bul-
lion for the week ending Thursday last:—
Silver coin to Rotterdam
Hamburgh 21,500
Hong Kong
Bars to Rotterdam 72,000 „
The Fore gn Exchanges were firm this afternoon, and in
some instances higher. Bills on Paris were taken at 25 5;1
to 621 ; on Hamburgh, at 13 104 to s ; on Amsterdam, at
12 41- to 1 ; on Antwerp, 12 34 to 2 ; on Frankfort, 150 ; and
on Trieste, 958 to 52. At liarnburgh last Friday the Ex-
change on London was 13 54.
The commercial classes in the City seem in better spirits 'to-
day ; the letters from America bringing over a few orders for
goods, and accounts of more cheering prospects for the future.
We hope they may be realised.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 14.—We have had

20k. We.have given elsewhere extracts from the New York

The British Funds continue in the same state as for severa:
days past, without the least spirit for specultviog to the pre-
sent time, and there is every appearance of things remaining h.
the same state until after the elections.

This is settling (lay in the Foreign Market, consequently Hiss
brokers and jobbers are chiefly occupied in paying and re-
ceiving their various ioalances. The account is not of an ex-
tensive nature, and there is every appearance it will be easily
adjusted. The Foreign Prices are nominal at present :

The following cheering prospect is copied from a Montrea.
Paper of 29th May :
•• Nothing can he more promising than our commercial
prospects up to the present moment. The tide of busit,ess with
England has again set in with full force. In our Yesterday's
Paper we showed that the number of vessels which-arrived at.
Quebec up to the 21st inst., had exceeded, by upwards of a
hundred, the number entered to the same period last year,
whilst in emigrants the difference is still more marked, the num-
ber recorded last year at this time being 2,951, while this year
it is not less than 5,936. In four days alone the number of arri-
vals at the port of Quebec was upwards of 300, and each hour
adds to the list. In our own port of Montreal there was, a day
or two back, twenty-five square-rigged vessels, besides schoo-
ners, and the usual number of craft from lower ports.
We have no recollecticn of seeing so busy a scene before, and we
may say it argues well for the prosperity of the colony.
The Government has issued an advertisement for a very large
contract for oak-timber, to be delivered in Kingston Docks
before the Ist of July, from which it may be interred that ad-
ditional war steamers arc to be built. On Tuesday and Wed-
nesday the port presented a lively appearance; the wind was
from the East, arid vessels were seen in quick succession miter-
ing the harbour. At one time, one hundred and twenty ves-
sels were in sight ; the total number arrived and reported to
this hour, four o'clock, is supposed to lie about 300.
The British Funds continue steady at 89 for the Accoure,.
lower than in the early part of the morning, but without ar.3
business doing; consequently there is not a feature worti
notice to the present hour. Reduced, 89 • Th ree-and- a-Ha
per Cents. Reduced, 97i ; Exchequer Bills, 7 5 lower prem.;
Bank Stock, 168.
The Foreign Market is heavy. Spanish Active, 22i ; De
(erred, 104; Passive, 5 ; Portuguese, 33,t ; Dutch Two
and-a-Half per Cents.. 52i ; Five per Cents., 100.
The settling of the Foreign Account is going off well.
In the Share Market scarce a bargain has been done to tlo,
present time, as there are only two quotations. London ant
Brighton, 444 ; London and Birmingham,
The mercantile advices from America to-clay appear to have
given, on the whole, more satisfaction to the traders in tl
City connected with that country ; arid, as regards our Britist
North American possessions, the strong tide of emigrating
that has set in upon them seems to augrc well for their twin.
prosperity. It may be important to state, since agr.-
culture is the main-stay of Canada, and most
the parties leaving this country to settle there havy
that pur.uit in view, that the weather had become much sins.
favourable for farming operations. The change, indeed, knit
been wonderful, the thermometer at Quebec having reached
80 in the shade. Wheat had come up 120 hours after being
sown, and every other sort of vegetation was progressing witty
similar rapidity. The loss of the emigrant ship Minstrel, whirl.
it seems, was a sound vessel well known in the Canada trade,
has created a painful sensation here.

SINKING OP THE ROYAL GEORGE, 1782.

- . -
—We understand that a man and woman are now living at the
advanced age of 65 years, who escaped out of the third port-
hole on the starboard side of the lower gun deck. The Secre..
tary of the Orphan School, Portsea, has rec ently received a
communication that the individuals in questicii intend, during
the summer, to be present at one of Colonel Pasley's explesiol MS
on that ill-fated ship.
" My dear,If sbetter half, after a it:

Francis is the successor to the throne after Isabella 11. and her
sister, the Infanta Louisa.

It is said that they intend to remain at Bortleauxtill they can
return to Spain.
Their two sons, the Dukes of Cadiz and Seville; do:not accom•
pany their august parents ; they have, however, two young. r
children with them ; they have likewise their daughter, the
Princess Isabella, who obtained their permis=ion to marry a
Polish Count, of whieh'adventure all the Journals have spoken.
It is said that the eldest son of Don Francis is to marry the
young Queen of Spain.— Constitulionnel.

CAprTAL.—The Standard says " that the giant me-
nopoly is the monopoly of the capitalist 'of all the profit
of labour, industry, and enterprise. But one thing is
exempt from the grasping monopoly, the profit of the
land. Indeed, Standard, we thought Sir James Graham
had proved that ninetenths of the rent of land is mort-
gaged—got into the Clutches of the capitalists. We thought,
moreover, that at present the greater portion of the land
had been bought over and over again, and that rent and
profit were all but another name for interest of money
vested in the land. We are afraid that our Contempo-
rary, learned in Hebrew and Greek as he is, has got a
great deal to learn of England and English society.
Without calling capital a giant monopoly, it is pretty
plain that its power is so great that it subdues all other
property to its use and service.
