A fourth edition of " The Crescent and the Cross,"
by Eliot Warburton, Esq., has just been published, in two vols.,
price 218. bound. This delightful work (as the Morning Post truly
observes) is one of the most readable books of travels that peregri-
nator ever penned. It is, from first to last, a splendid panorama of
Eastern scenery in the full blaze of its magnificence. It is impossi-
ble to read "The Crescent and the Cross" without being transported
for the thne on to the sedgy banks of the eternal Nile, into the
country of our old friend Haroun Al Raschid, with all its delightful
delusions, which, though partly dispelled, can never be forgotten.
Bloreover the crowning merit of the book is that it is evidently the
production of a gentleman and a man of the world, who has lived in
the best society, and has been an attentive observer of the scenes,
incidents, and infinite variety of characters which have passed be-
fore him during his joyous existence. To a keen sense of tile
ludicrous he joins a power of sketching and grouping which are most
happily demonstrated.
To Gentlemen who shave ti-emselves the following
query is proposed.—Why do all the first cutlers of Europe use and

is, simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

NOMINATION.-(TIIIS DAY.)

To-day, at twelve o'clock, the nomination of a Member to repre-
sent
.the city of Westminster in Parliament, consequent on the resig-
nation of Captain Eons, by his appointment as one of the Lords of
the Admiralty, took place in front of St. Paul's Church,
Covent-garden. The numher of persons assembled before
the hustings could not be less than 5,000. The candidates were the
late Member, Captain Rohs, who again offered himse.f, and General
Sir lie Lacy Evans. Whed these gentlemen, accompanied by their
respective friends, came on the platform, the crowd, wlich seemed
pretty equally divided in opinion as to the merits of the candidates,
expressed their partialities by the most discordant noises ; and one
clique, whose begrime(' faceS proclaimed that they belonged to the
genus coal -heaver, favoured the company with a series of yells that
would hare done honour to an Indian war dance. A strong body of
Police were in attendance to preserve order, but it 'was soon very
evident that they were insufficient for the purpose, and after gal-
lantly withstanding for nearly half an hour the efforts of the assail-
ants to get close to the platform, they at last, by command of Super-
intendent Pearson, retreated in good order behind the breastworks,
from where no effort of the enemy could dislodge them. - This ma-
noeuvre was beautifully effected, with only the loss of one policeman's
baton.

Among the gentlemen who accompanied the candidates we ob-
served Lord Francis Egerton, Lord James Stuart, Lord Marcus Hill,
Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lord Elphinstone, Lord W. Bruce, Lord Can-
tatupe, Celonel Fox, Mr. Bouverie, 31.1'., Mr Tennyson D'Eyncourt,
M.P., Mr. B. Hawes, M.P., Mr. Ellis, 3L.P., Colonel T. Wood, M.P.,
Hon. F. Byng, Mr. Merryweather, &c., &c.
Mr. SMEDLEY, the High Bailiff, then came forward, and, as well as
we could hear him, for the gentlemen who composed the crowd were
too much engaged in listening to their own sweet VOiCeS to at tend to the
speakers, said that he had that day the honour of attending there as
the returning officer for the city of Westminster. The electors were
assembled to express their opinion as to who of the two gentlemen
who solicited their suffrages should be their representative hi the
Commons House of Parliament. The electors were no doubt aware
that the present vacancy had taken place in consequence of one of
their representatives-he meant Captain Hone- • having accepted
office under Government.-(Cries of" More shame for him," from one
section of the-crowd, and cheering from the Gallant Captain's partisans.)
That gentleman was, however, eligible to re-elected, and he was
there to offer himself to them. The other candidate was General
Sir De Lacy Dvans. He need not point out to them the importance
of the privilege they were met that day to exercise--(Ahouts of" We
know it") -but he would at once conclude by causing the writ to
be read.
The preliminary forms were gone through amid much interruption,
when
Mr. J. C. WOODS' rose to propose Captain Hone as R fit and proper
person to represent the city of Westminster. The speaker's adlress
could, however, only be heard by the favoured few who stocd beside
him ; when shortly afterwa.ds
•
Lord F. EGERTON seconded the nomination. He was equally in-
audible, the terrific noises which issued front the persons in front
completely drowning every sentence.
Mr. BOUVERIE then rose to propose General Sir De Lacy
Evans. He said that the. electors were met that day for the
purpose of returning a Member to Parliament, and it was with
great pleasure that he proposed to them General Evans.-
(Mingled cheers and hisses.) They had unfortunately elected
a Tory and monopolist once before, thus rendering the city of West-
minster a nullity in the House of Commons ; for if one of their
Members on all of the great questions which concerned the happi-
ness of the people said " yes," the other Member as invariably
said " no." - (Cheers.) If the one sought to advance every
great social and political reform, the other opposed
him. if the one contended that these reforms were ne-
cessary, the other maintained that they were not.
The city of Westminster had at one time always been considered in
the front ranks of liberalism, and the period was now come when she
should resume her former position-7(Cheers)-when she should show
that she had within her the first, the most liberal, the most enlight-
ened constituency in England.-(Cheers, laughter, and cries of
" Don't come over us," &c.) They had that day a place at their
disposal, and they had two applicants for it. It was no place of
emolument, although, jadging from Captain Roue, it was a mode by
a hitch a place of emolument could be obtained.-(Cheers and great
confusion.) One of the applicants had always been a free-trader
and he was so still - (Cheers) -he had always been against the
present corn-laws and he was so still ; he had filWays been a Reformer
and he was so still.-(Continued cheering.) They had one who had
always been on the side of popular rights and he was so still. But
the other applicant what had they had to say for him? Ile had
been a Tory. What was he now ? He was a most extraordinary
combination of opposite opinion. He seemed a sort of amphibious
animal, a kind o. horse-marine, not one thing or another. They
had been asked the question by Sir Robert Peel, would they have
free trade in the country ?-(cheers.) Let theta, as electors, answer
yes.- (Cries of " Yes.") Then let them return General Evans for
he was a staunch Liberal.- (Cheers.) Would they have Captain
Rocs? Let them loudly answer "No"- (Commingled cries of " No"
and " Yes.") They had no confidence in the fixity of his opinions.
They would rather that Westminster were represented .by one who
was for the people and not against them. Let them, then, be early
at the poll and return General Evans to Parliament.
Dr. BAINBRIDGE seconded the nomination of General Evans, and

he now appeared before them fo- the sixty or seventh time, to pro-
pose or second the nomination of the long-tried friend of the people,
General Evans - (Cheers)—a gentleman who had always been op-
posed to the corn-laws, and a stern defender of the rights of the
people.—(Hear, hear.) He was a supporter of free trade principles
when they tid not lead to place or emolument, and he was still the
same.—(Cheers.) His Hon. opponent (Captain Rous) had told them
that he was still unchanged. He came into Westminster as the
child of the Tories and the Opponent of free trade.—(Cheers and
hisses.) On a former occasion, on these very buntings, he spoke
against free Made, and told the electors that it would be
carried out, and send the labourers and artisans to live on
bread and onions and a Suck at the pump.—(Cheeri and laughter.)
Latterly, however, he had made a change, and he (Dr. Bainbridge)
must say, judging from that, that the Gallant Captain's judgment
must be very defective, or he must be acting dishonestly. If he has
not changed his opinions, and is in favour of a repeal of the enrn-
laws, then lie must in the previous election have spoken in opposition
to his convictions (Hear, hear)—and thus have acted dishonestly,
or he must have laboured under an aberration of judgment, and did
not know what he was doing. In either view of the question such a
gentleman was not a fit representative for a great and intelligent
city like Westminster.—(Cheers and uproar.) He (Dr. Bainbridge)
would leave him on the horns of this dilemma. Just before the as-
sembling of Parliament, a great meeting of the electors of
Westminster was held on the question of the corn-laws,
which was then so extensively agitating the country,
and a requisition was sent to the Gallant Captain, most numerously
and respectably signed, inviting him to attend. But he refused to
de so, because he (Dr. Bainbridge) supposed the Gallant Captain
did not then know the course the Ministry would take.— (Hear.)
Was such a person a proper representative for thews ?—(Cries of
" No, no," and " Yes, yes,"from the suppporters of the respective
candidates. He might add many other reasons why they
should vote for the Liberal candidate—(Cries of "So we will,")—
and reject Captain Mous, but he would leave them to be given by
the Gallant General himself, who was much snore able to enter into
en explanation of those reasons than he (Dr. Bainbridge) was. He
now called on them to emancipate themselves and this great city
from the disgrace of being represented by an apostate Tory::

_
(Loud cheering, and great uproar(—whom no one can
undei stand—a nondescript politician, who is neither flab,
flesh nor fowl, but a sort of marine monster with a long tall and
1,0001. a-year tied to it— (Laughter, cheers, and hisses)—who comes
to Westminster expecting the electors to help him to a good place.—
(Cheers.) He (Di. Bainbridge) trusted that they would rescue their
fair fame, and restore the city to the former high and proud position
from which it had been hurled; and to enable them S to do so, he begged
leave to second the nomination of Gen. Sir Le Lacy Evans. —(Cheers.)

Captain Rous then came forward to address tire electors, and was
received with loud hisses and groans from the supporters of General
Evans, and cheers from his friends. The Gallant Captain, who was
much Interrupted in the course of his speech, spo' e to the following
effect:—He came forward at the present crisis to take the sense of
the electors of the city of Westminster on the measures of the Govern-
ment. He considered that it was the duty of all who wished well
to the measures of Sir It. Peel to unite and say we will support no
half-and-halt men, },rho desert their colours every day, but men who
will labour faithfully to serve their country, and also will support
measures calculated to advance its true interest-.—(Hear, hear.) In
1841, when he was first elected, there was a great stagnation in the
commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural Interest of the cc untry ;
they.were engaged in two wars, the funds were low, and a general
despondency pervaded all classes. When Sir R. Peel accepted office
such was the state of the country ; but under his Administration
trade amended, the wars were brought to an end, the funds rose,
and general prosperity pervaded all ranks of society.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) To what but to the policy of Sir Robert Peel could he
(Captain. Rens) attribute the change. In 1841 and 1842 he was a
protectionist —(Hear)—but the events that had taken place during the
last three years had caused an alteration in his views. What had
taken place since the alteration of the tariff in 1843, had shown him
the great advantage of the working of the free trade principle, and
therefore he could come to no other conclusion than to advocate
free trade now, and support the Government in its endeavours to
carry them into effect.—(Cheers and hisses.) Upon the pre-
sent occasion it would be necessary for him .to state that in

the House of Commons, he proposed that Australian corn should be
admitted at a greatly reduced duty. In September last, when in
Suffolk, he told his
.friends, not only that a free trade' in corn must
soon come into operation, but he went further, and said that as
population increased, it would be necessary to give a bonus on the
importation of foreign corn. That disposed of the aster-
nen that he had changed his opinions in order to serve Sir
Robert Peel. His (Captain Rout's) opinions had been changed long
before the proposition of Sir Robert Peel had been submitted,
or perhaps before that Right Hon. Baronet had himself changed.—
(Hear, hear.) And now he (Captain Rous) supported the Govern-
ment of Sir Robert Peel, because he believed no man was so well
calculated to carry ont free trade as that Right Hon. Gentlemam.
He considered that no person could more effectually carry out the
principles of tree trade than Sir Robert Peel. The electors of West-
minster will recollect (continued the Gallant Speaker), that, in no
single measure calculated to promo e their interests had he been
unfaithful to his duty.—(Tremendous uproar and confusion.) Ile
had supported a motion for the repeal of the window-tax, and
he had oaposed the contemplated alteration in the Vestries Act.
Ile would support the present measures of the Government, as being,
In his opinion, likely to conduce to the welfare and promote the hap-
piness of all c asses of the country.—(The confusion at this time be-
came
tremendous, and a combination of the most discordant sounds
entirely drowned the voice of the speaker.) In conclusion the Gal-
lant Captain stated that whatever should be the issue of
the contest nothing should erase from his :mind the
memory of that confidence which four years- since
had returned him as the representative of a constituency
which, for a quarten, of a century, had not been represented by a
Conservative Member. The electors of this city had brought him for-
ward; they turned the current of opinion in Ills favour, and he
defied his opponents to point out a single vote or act of
his during the four years he had been their representative
which was not for the benefit of his constituency
and the people at large, and he felt convinced that he had not for-
feited that confidence which had been so honourably reposed in him.
Ile had accepted office, not to promote his own advantage, but for 1
the simple reason that he thought he should, however humble his
abilities, be made useful in effecting those much to be desired re-
forms
in the . office of the Admiralty to which her Majesty
had been graciously pleased to appoint hhn.—(Great cheering and
uproar.) To -morrow will decide the question ; and, he repeated,
that whether beaten or victorious, he should continue to feel an inte-
rest in the welfare arid prosperity of the city of Westminster, and to
remember with feelings of gratitude the confidence they had hitherto
reposed in him.
General EVANS (whose appearance was the signal for most voci-
ferous cheering from his own supporters, as well as groans and other
marks of disapprobation from his opponents) then said that although
it Wits not his first ' appearance before the electors of West-
minster, he never felt a greater 'interest in their
prosperity or more desire for the s:iccess of a measure
than for the one which now affected not only.their interests but the
interests of all classes of the community. The returning officer had
saved him the duty of declaring the reason that they were now
met upon such an occasion as the present. They had been
told ' that it was * because his Gallant Opponent had ac-
cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty.
In all fairness to his Gallant Opponent, he must bear witness to his
excellent personal quallties,, to his unblemished and manly character
in society, and begged to say that it' any remarks should
fall fresh him calculated to wound the feelings of his ops
ponent, he at once ditelalined all intention- of doing so.
His opponent had stated that lie seotild support Sir R. Peel ; and he
(Captain Rous) believed that the measures proposed by him were
calculated to prothote the interest and happiness of all classes. Sir
Robert Peel had not always had the interest of these classes
at heart ; he had , Ibr years opposed the measure for the i
emancipation of the slaves, and atsd his Roman Catholic fellow-
subjects. He also opposed the Reform Bill, attd Mrs when that
measure was carried, has he not since opposed to his utmost by the
technicalities of the Registration Courts, and he extended the opera-
tion of the benefits to be derived from that measure to the commu-
nity at leatts—(Csitfusion and uproar.) The Gallant speaker said
that he had supported the principles of free trade for upwards of
twenty years, and would continue to do so. He considered that
the true test of sincerity in change of opinion was that laid down
by Sir J. Graham, he said that they should consider whether or no
any advantage or emolument would result from this change of opi-
nion, if not, it was pretty clear that the change of °pluton was
according to the , dictates of conscience. Applying this test
to his Gallant • opponent, he could hardly give him credit
for disinterestedness • In his change of opinion. For was he not
receiving advantage or emolument from tkis change of opinion ? Ile
had obtained by it the situation of one of the Lords of this Admi-
raity.—(Tretnendoua uproar.) Ills Gallant opponent, previous to his
appointment, had stated with no very great national taste,
that the removal of the corn-laws would give them only
bread and onions, and a suck at the pump.—(Great laughter.)
If he were to seek the office it was not for emolumentary porpooes.
He was always the friend of the people—he was always the opne-
nent of 'restrictions on trade—and he would now Jell Captain Eons
and his party that the question of free trade did riot depend on them.
Itdid not depend on either Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell—
that amiable and enlightened nobleman—but it depended on the will
and the disposition of theSpeople.—(Tremendous cheers.) Yes, the
people of England had decided on free trade, and it mattered
not who were the parties in power, that free trade would; and should
be carried.—(e rent cheering.) Ills honourable opponent now said
that he had among his supporters maws of the aristocracy. In the
election of 1841 he said nothing of that kind ; it was not then fashion-
able to entertain such principles. But he (General Evans) could also
boast of havins some of the aristocracy at his side—those illustrious
families who were an honour to this country—he respected and ad-
mired ; but he did not at the same time, like his gallant opponent,
boast of the glitter of -the aristocracy.-. (Hisses.) But what do the
exponents —the representatives of that high free-trade party—say ?
What does the Standard and the newspapers say ? Why, that
it was necessity that drove them to these measures of free trade.
He lately met a Relishes of the present Parliament, a man of as high
principles, of as high character, and of as honest independence as was
now in Parliament, that man said to him (General Evans) he was
glad he was going to stand for Westminster, for although he had voted
against him at the last election he would give him (General Evans)
his cordial support on that occasion. This gentleman was a
high Tory, but he was disgusted with the party wto pro-
fessed liberal 'principles, but did not feel them.—(Loud cheers.)
That friend said, that in common with the English people, he loved
and honoured consistency. lie felt obliged to that gentleman, and
he (General Evans) hoped that they would all vindicate,
atid prove • before to-morrow evening how much they re-

vexed the great principles of civil and religious liberty.
lle (General Evans) supported free trade measures when it produced
no profit .to do so.—(Cheers.) When office was not procured by
doing so—(great cheering)-when it brought no rewards, but,
on the contrary, when it brought indignities.—(Loud cheers.)
Ills Gallant opponent came forward on free-trade principles, buthe
(General Evans) had alwa) s been the staunch supporter of popular
rlghts, and he hoped his conduct would be estimated as it deserved
by returning him to Parliament on that occasion.—(Cheers:)
On a show of hands for Captain Rous a few were held up, amidst
the shouts and laughter of the assembled thousands ; and on a similar
display taking place for Gener.l Evans, the immense assembly,
wig" a few exceptions, declared in his favour.
A pod was then demanded by the friends of Captain Roust and the
time fixed for its commencement was at eight o'clock to-morrow
morning. Alter which the vast multitude quietly dispersed.

MONEY and COMMERCIA.L NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER To THREE.
In the Liverpool Cotton market yesterday the sales were 3,000
bales. The market was dull, without change in prices. There was
but little done in Railway Shares.
The debate in Parliament is almost the exclusive subject of con-
versation here to-day, and all are hopeful of the free trade measure
being carried.
The English Funds have been very unsteady, and there has
been not only a very decided disinclination to buy, but an
absolute decline in prices in most instances. The sales
are not large, but the continued absence of purchases b}, the
Chancery broker, and the protraction of the corn•law debate,
have a marked influence c n the quotations. ' Consols have
realised 96% to 95%, and are 96 again for present transfer:
time bargains have been made at a decline to 963 and 96. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has been down to 395. and 365. Bank btock
is dull at .207 N, and India Stock 258 to 260. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 98% to 97% .
The Foreign Investments have been heavy. Spanish Five per
Cents., owing to the change of Ministry, have declined to 27, and
the Three per Cents. to 373„'x. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
at Mt. :Mexican Bonds are worth 30% ; and Grenada, 23%.
Railway Shares are fiat in most instances, and there is net much
doing.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The agent to Lloyd's at Vince', states that by late observation
made it had been ascertained that the current caused by the Great
Jetty across the Bar formed at the mouth of the port of Malainacco,
had already cut a channel across it of about 40 fathoms from the
edge of the Jetty, the uniform depth of water on which was about
fifteen feet and a half at mid tide, decreasing abruptly at the termi-
nation of the 40 fathoms to about 12 feet. The pilot had received in
siructions to avail himself of this channel in bringing vessels into port.
CHARTS OF THE LEVANT, &c.

The agent of Lloyd's at Smyrna, mentions that few masters-of
vessels going that way appear to be aware that the Charts of the
late survey, made by Capt. Greaves, in the Grecian Archipelago, &c.,
have been published.
