CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.
On Saturday night a public meeting of the Liberal
electors in the wards of Bridge, Candlewick, Walbrook,
Cordwainers, Dowgate, and Cheap, was held in the Bay
Tree Tavern, St. Swithin's-lane. Soon after eight
o'clock, Sir George Larpent, Baron Lionel de Roths-
child, and Mr. Pattison, jun., entered the room, accom-
panied by several members of the Liberal Committee,
and were loudly cheered.
On the motion of Mr. TRAVERS, Mr. Alderman Wood
was called to the chair.

The Worthy ALDERMAN addressed the meeting at
some length, and observed that the day was gone by for
religious distinctions.—(Loud cheers.) Moral worth
and personal integrity was all they bad to do with; and
the time would soon come when the electors would have
an opportunity of acting upon that principle by the
choice they would make of four candidates possessing
such qualifications to represent them in Parliament.—
(Cheers.) He concluded by introducing three of the
candidates—one of there would be represented by his
son (Mr. Pattison, jun.); and he doubted not that the
citizens would return them in conjunction with Lord
John Russell as their representatives in the House o
Commons.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir George Larpent and Baron Rothschild then en-
tered into explanations of their political sentiments
precisely similar to those given by them at the previous
meetings.
In answer to a question put about the proposed new
bishops,
Sir GEORGE LARPENT said, the question was one
which referred entirely to the Church of England. The
members of that Church might think, perhaps, that more
bishops were required, but he would not have any more
bishops unless they were paid out of the revenues of the
Church—(Cheers)—and he deprecated the conduct of
giving large sums out of the ecclesiastical revenues for
the building of palaces.—(Cheers.) He was further of
opinion, as regarded the bishops having seats in the House
of Peers, they ought to be confined to performing the
duties of their respective dioceses.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. PATTISON, jun., apologised for the absence of his
father, which was caused, he said, by the fatigue his
father had already undergone in attending a number
of meetings, otherwise he should have had the
pleasure of meeting the electors that evening.—
(Loud cheers.) He did not know that it was neces-
sary for him to add anything to what had been already
stated by his father. The electors had known him for
many years in Parliament, and there was no great
question during the period he had sat as one of their re-
presentatives on which his vote had not been recorded.
—(Loud cheers.) He could assure the meeting that the
interest his father felt in the present election was not so
much upon his own account as for the sake of the great
principles which were involved.—(Loud cheers.) In
1843 the question before the electors of London was
that of free trade, and they bad decided in the affirma-
tive.—(Cheers.) The question now was that of civil
and religious liberty, and everything denoted that their
success was certain.—(Loud cheers.)

An ELECTOR—win- your father vote for the repeal of
the window-tax?

Mr. PATTISON, jun., said that a motion for the repeal
of that tax had been repeatedly brought forward by
Lord Duncan, and on all these occasions his father had
voted for the repeal.—(Loud cheers.)
An ELECTOR wished to know Sir GteoergleueLstairopen,nrte's.
opinion about reforming the Corporation of London.'
Sir GEORGE LARPENT, in answering h
peated what he had said at the Hall of Commerce on
Friday, namely, that if petitions were sent into the House
of Commons he would give them every support, and would
go into the fullest details to expose every abuse that
should be proved.—(Loud cheers.)
An ELECTOR—WiII you vote for the separation of
Church and State?—(lnterruption, several calling out,
" Don't answer that question.")
The question being pressed,
Sir GEORGE LARPENT said, in reply, that he could
not.—(Loud cheers and some hisses.)
Mr. TRAYERS, jun., then rose to propose a resolution
for the adoption of the meeting; and said that as a
Radical himself, and the son of a Radical, he could fairly
say, that the four candidates proposed to their support
represented every shade of liberal opinion in the city of
London.—(Cheers.) The votes of Mr. Pattison spoke
for him sufficiently.—(Cheers.) Of Sir George Larpent
he might say, that he was the friend of his father, and
that fact might be taken as a proof of Sir George's ra-
dical or liberal principles.—(Cheers.) Baron Rothchild
represented a principle—(Cheers),—and he believed
that no more fitting man could be found to be one of
their Members in Parliament.—(Cheers.) To the Baron's
exertions, in 1843, the return of Mr. Pattison was in a
great measure owing; and he believed he was justified
in saying that Mr. Pattison's success on that occasion
had a very important bearing on the efforts of the
League in battling for the repeal of the corn-laws.—
(Loud cheers.) Mr. Travers then referred to the other
candidate, Lord John Russell, on whom he passed a
warm enlogium ; and concluded by moving a resolution
to the effect, that Lord John Russell, Mr. Pattison, Sir
George Larpent. and Baron Rothschild, were fit and
proper persons to represent the city of London in Par-
liament, and that the meeting pledged itself to use every
exertion to procure their return•—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. KEELING briefly seconded the resolution.
Mr. COLEMAN moved an amendment to the effect that
the names should be put separately, as he could not, he
said, vote for Sir George Larpent and Lord J. Russell.
An ELECTOR—WiII you have Colonel Sibthorp and
Lord George Bentinck in their room?—(Laughter.)
A gentleman named Tamer here rose to address the
meeting, but from some cause or other he appeared to be
at loss to explain himself, and the patience of the meet-
ing becoming exhausted, considerable interruption ensued.
Silence being at length restored,
The CHAIRMAN said, as the amendment had not been
seconded, he should put the original resolution, which
was accordingly agreed to by a large majority amid loud
cheering, very few hands being held up against it.
A vote of thanks was then passed to Alderman Wood,
for his excellent conduct in the chair, and the worthy
Alderman having expressed his acknowledgments for
the honour, the meeting separated.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.
Saturday the arrangements for the ballot of the 16,000
electors of this great metropolitan constituency, which is

decide whether Mr. D. W. Harvey, Sergeant Shee, or

date in conjunction with Sir B. Hall at the ensuing
election, were finally completed, and are upon a very

" That a ballot card or letter shall be addressed to

mediately retire.'

we have
to request that you will attend at Captain Hall's Riding
School, Albany-street, Regent's Park, on Monday, 19th

It is calculated that the Liberal party will obtain
an accession of no less than 80 seats in the coming elec-
tions ; an increase that will give 0 to the Government of
Lord John Russell a good working majority in the new
Parliament.— Observer.
To COLD PUNCH DRINKERS.—Is it generally known
by these good fellows that water is the greatest enemy to
ice?h Sunshine melts it far less rapidly than cold water.
Water at 40 degrees will dissolve ice more rapidly than
dry air at 70 degrees.
