TWO MORE

REFORMERS

RETURNED FOR
THE METROPOLIS !

MARYLEBONE
HAS DONE ITS DUTY !
COUNTRYMEN!
FOLLOW ITS EXAMPLE !

The glorious result of the City Election is producing
its appropriate effect in giving new vigour to the
cause of Reform. That cause is proceeding trium-
phantly throughout the whole of the metropolitan dis-
tricts. In the Tower Hamlets, in Marylebone, in Fins-
bury, and in Westminster, there seems to be but one spirit.
All are anxious to emulate the patriotism by following
the example of the City of London. In this eventful
struggle, every Reformer knows that his dearest rights

We refer to our city article for important news from
Spain. The general impression at Madrid was that
the war in the north would soon be terminated.

Hour after hour brings fresh tidings to rejoice at.
Great has been the triumph of the Reformers ; great
that of the Tories, but only among the nomination bo-
roughs—everywhere beside, in every free town, their
discomfiture is terrible—great they aspired to be, alas !
wo betides them, they are great only in misfortune.
How much was hoped by them from the result of the
City election. The very weapon they fabricated to
assail the Reformers has destroyed themselves. The
City address, subscribed by all the affluence, influence,
independence, and character within its walls, has de-
molished them utterly ; the means they fondly hoped
would secure the return of Conservative candidates, and
a peerage to their loyal chieftains became their own
stumbling-block. The ward-mote they had in their
eye stone-blinded them. The result of the first day's
City contest, which was, to spread a blaze of Conser-
vatism throughout the land—what did it bring.to pass?
—dismay to themselves, and a gentle suggestion from
their new ally of the Press of a coalition between
Sir ROBERT PEEL and the MELBOURNE forces.
What will be the result of the second day's poll ?
England will not become a mockery and a bye-word
among nations. Her sons have fought nobly up to
the present hour of the conflict, and nobly will they
still continue to fight, until victory be their's. Be but
steady, discreet, and vigilant, 'noble countrymen, and
it will be your's, and that too, speedily!
It is rumoured that your passions are to be pro-
voked into acts of personal violence towards your
opponents ; that a few lives are to be lost in riotous
encounters, to instance the destructive tendency of
Reform. Ponder upon this hint, and allow not your-
selves to be tricked into this horrible stratagem.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday, in
which we find several letters from the Madrid and
Navarre correspondents of the French Journals. They
bring no political or domestic intelligence worth men-
tioning. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday a
Bill was introduced to continue the monopoly of the
manufacture of tobacco and snuff till the Ist of Jan.,
1847. The Bill had been referred to a Committee,
who reported thereon that the monopoly ought not to
be extended for a longer period than five years, which
was opposed by Ministers. The debate on the Bill was
adjourned on Monday evening, after being carried on
with considerable warmth during the greater part of
the sitting. On Tuesday it was renewed, and was
being continued when the expresses left Paris for
London.

CITY ELECTION.

THIS DAY.

This being the day appointed for declaring the result of the
election, at an early hour Guildhall was opened to the electors,
who in the course of a very short time entered in such numbers
as to tram in it in every corner.

We owe it to the Secondaries to say that their anxiety to
afford every accommodation to the press was of infinite assist-
ance,, to us in the discharge of our arduous duties amidst
so many difficulties. Mr. James promised us a free access to
the lower part of the hustings, and Mr. Potter appropriated a
sufficient space to allow us to stand near the speaker, and to
find egress when required. We cannot refrain from expressing our
surprise that the returning officers of the several metropolitan
boroughs (Finsbury excepted) did not evince a similar dispo-
sition to facilitate our operations. We speak not so much for
ourselves as for the public, to whom the earliest intelligence
of the proceedings must be intensely interesting.
At half- past one o'clock Mr. JAMES came forward, and pro-
clamation for sileaco was made in the usual way.
Mr. Sheriff ILLIoom then announced the final state of the

poll :
Wood
Pattison
Crawford
Grote
Lyall
Ward , 4,559
Wilson
Major,: for the Reformers, taking the highest candidates
1,819. . _

The announcement was received with the most deafening
cheers, which lasted a considerable time.
By the kindness of Mr. Under-Sheriff Pearson we are
enabled to present our readers with the relative numbers of
Liverymen and Householders who voted for the several cars
didates

Liverymen. Hous holders.
Wood 3,429

The Sheriff then declared the four members duly returned,
to be Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawfurd, and Paulson.
Mr. Alderman WOOD came forward amidst loud cheers,
and said7--Gentlemen, your labours having ceased in our
cause, I can scarcely find words sufficient to thank you for the
great exertions you have made; but be assured, if I am want-
ing in words to express myself, I can say in one word It is
impossible for any man to feel more than I do, the obligation I
owe to you all.—( Cheers.) The proud station I and my
colleagues are placed in, the large number by which we
stand above our opponents, must not be otherwise than
gratifying to all our friends.—( Hear, hear.) I had been
led to believe that the friends of our opponents had not been
so active as they might have been ; but in their advertisement
to-day, which is signed by all the three rejected candidates,
they thank their friends, and say that they have done their
uttermost. Now, it is highly gratifying that we should be so
told by our opponents themselves, that their friends have done
their uttermcst, and I believe sincerely that they have done so.
I know some Complaint has been made that they had not the
same means we had; they had'the same books and other re-
quisites which we received from the proper quarter, and we
used no other. We adopted no particular means whatever,
and I do believe that our opponents had been In the field be-
fore us, and did actually commence canvassing before
evt7 we requested a single vote---( Cries of Hear, hear. )

that it was ,not, generally speaking, possible tP de this, I
have discouraged the practice in every possible way. I have
too much respect for the electors, to adopt such a practice.
—( Hear, hear.) I have one consolation, however, that
those unworthy electors were always willing and ready
to take from me two-thirds of the price they received from
the Tories.—( Cheers.) My answer always was, " I have
never given one shilling, and I never will give a
shilling, j had rather that you should go and drown
yourself.”--( 1,9,4 clwers, ) I owe much to the great

are at stake, and acts as if the issue of the conflict
depended on his single efforts. He feels that every
blow which he now strikes is struck for
liberty, and this .feeling animates his heart, and nerves
his arm. What a severe rebuke does such devotion

nation, by questioning its attachment to Reform

householders to vote against their consciences ; but
he was happy to say, with little effect. I appeal to the whole
course of my life if there was a single act, either as a legisla-
tor or a magistrate, where the interests of the people were
concerned, that I allowed any other objects to interfere with
them—( Cheers)—and as long as I am able to serve you in
Parliament, I will do so. I shall be ready at all times to do
my duty. I have been told that we have indulged in
pledges. We have said that we will oppose the present
Ministers, hut do we not know them? Have we not had
them ?—(Loud cheers.) We must, I think, be tolerable
judges by this time ; and I would ask, did not the present Mi-
nistry, every one of them, do everything to—did not some of them
make 30 or 40 speeches to—prevent you , from obtaining the
elective franchise. Mow could it then be said that these
men had not been tried ?—( Tremendous cheering. )
I hope to God the time will come when the householders will
have that feeling throughout England which, I am sorry
to say, in the country has not been manifested by some
towards those who, if they had not been in the House of
Commons, or at least those who they are now opposing,
devoting themselves night after night in favour of this Reform,
are at this second Reform Parliament turning their backs upon
them. Gentlemen, these are facts which-I hope you will bear
in mind, because never would this Reform Bill have passed if it
had not been for the Reformers, and it is for them to see
that the spirit of that Reform Bill is carried properly into
execution.—(Loud cheers.) Having stated thus much, I
will not now detain you any longer except by merely
adverting to one circumstance : we, the Reform Candidates,
have lost, I may say, from 600 to 1,000 votes. I can speak
of 60 in one small district, namely, in the parish of St.
Alban's, in the Ward of Cripplegate Within, in respect
of which I will not condemn any body, although I
know, for a certainty, there is a little fault somewhere.
I allude to the circumstance of the parish officers never having
sent for their rates. You are bound, as the Reform Bill at
present stands, to pay your rates within a certain time, other-
wise you are not entitled to a vote ; and the churchwardens
and overseers, knowing your principles, may keep back from
calling upon you for them expressly, in order to deprive you
of your votes. I say then it is necessary, and I hope the
time is not far distant when our good friends, the Members of
our Cothmittecs and others who have exerted themselves so no-
bly on this occasion, will keep watch over the registrations in the
