SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 14th contains an ac-
count of the reception by the Queen of Sir J.
Crampton, the new English Minister at her Court,
to present his credentials. The ceremony took place
with the customary formalities, and Sir John, who
was accompanied by Mr. Edwardes, Secretary of
Legation, and Mr. Lawrance and Mr. Brackenbury,
Attaches, delivered, as usual upon such occasions,
an address, in which he said that the Queen, his
Sovereign, had charged him to rene w the expression
of her unalterable esteem and consideration for her
Majesty and the King, and her wishes for the pros-
perity of the Spanish nation ; he said, also, that the
British Government and people entertained great
sympathy for Spain, and he promised to employ
all his efforts to promote a good understanding
between the two countries. The Queen, in reply,
expressed great regard for the Queen of England
and esteem for the British nation, and added that
she hoped that all questions which might arise be-
tween Spain and Great Britain would be settled in
such a way as to promote their mutual friendship.
After leaving the Queen, Sir J. Crampton and the
legation were received by the King, and Sir John
handed his Majesty an autograph letter from Queen
Victoria. The Gazette also contains an account of

the reception by the Queen on the same day of Mr.
Schurtz, the United States Minister, to present his
credentials. He also delivered an address, in which
he declared that the President and people of the
United States entertained most friendly sentiments
for the Queen and the Spanish nation. Her Ma-

jesty replied in suitable terms, and afterwards Mr.
Schurtz, who was accompanied by Mr. Perry, his
Secretary of Legation, had an audience of the King.

THE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON.

Yesterday evening Lord John Russell forwarded a
message to Mr. Sidney Smith, the secretary to the
Liberal Registration Association in the City of
London, to the effect that it is his intention to.ap-
pear at Guildhall on Tuesday next, where he will be
happy to meet the electors. The muting is called
for two o' clock.
An influential deputation of electors waited upon
the Lord Mayor yesterday at the Mansion-house,
and tendered to him a requisition most numerously
signed by all classes of the constituency, inviting his
lordship to present himself for election. The chief
magistrate at once responded to the request, and
last evening his lordship issued the subjoined ad-
dress _ . _

" To the Liverymen and other Electors of the City of
London. _

" Gentlemen,—A requisition of a highly flattering cha-
racter, numerously and influentially signed, having this day
been presented to me, inviting me to allow myself to be put
in nomination to represent the City in Parliament, I cheer-
fully respond to such a call.
" Having been for so many years before the public I feel
that it is not necessary for me to make any statement of
my principles or my political opinions. I, however, desire
to assure my fellow-citizens that my efforts shall always be
so exerted as best to protect the privileges.of this important
City, and generally to promote the honour and interests of
this great country.—l have the honour to be, your faitbfal
servant, " WILLIAM CITBITT.
" Mansion-house, July 19."
The election will probably take place the week
after next. It is said the Liberal party are entering
upon the contest with even unwonted spirit, and
with a determination to fight the battle to its legiti-
mate conclusion. The contest promises to be a re-
markably spirited affair.
A special meeting of the executive committee of
the Ballot Society was held at the offices yes-
terday, Mr. Bontems in the chair ; Mr. White-
hurst, Mr. M. E. Marsden, Mr. Elt, Mr. Le Maitre,
iur. LlawcS, ann. Da.. 'Win. %.,utalico vvuio
Mr. Whitehurst reported that he had ques•
tioned Mr. Western Wood as to his views on the
ballot, and obtained a satisfactory answer. The
committee accordingly unanimously agreed to an
address, strongly recommending Mr. Wood to the
support of the electors of London.
