NEW TIMESsi
There is every reason to believe, that the City
of London will, after all, find adequatelind
spectable Representatives. In addition to Alder-
man Thompson, than whom there can be no more
worthy candidate for the honour of representing
this 'great commercial city, we have every reason
to believe, that Mr. W. Ward, the Bank DI.
rector, will be induced to accede to the wishes
of a large body of his fellow-citizens, who
are anxious to put him in nomination. A Re-
quisition to that Gentleman to come forward
is in the course of signature, and will contain
the names of a large number of our first mer-
thetas and most respectable traders. These
Gentlemen know that the station of a Member
for the City demands for its proper fulfilment a
person of experience in the great concerns of
Commerce, and one, who, from his character, can
carry weight in Parliament, as well as in occa-
sions of official intercourse with Government.
Mr. Ward is well known as a merchant, of the
firm of W. and H. B. Ward, of New Broad-
street : his talents are highly appreciated in the
Bank Direction ; his principles are sound and
loyal ; his manners frank and unassuming ; and
his private character, as a gentleman, truly
honourable. le short, a man more fit to repro-
sent the first City of the Empire could not have
been selected.

• • [MORNING HERALD.]
Mr. Arbuthnot, in detailing to the House of
CoMmons the proposed alterations in and about
Charing-cross, Pall-mall, &c. stated that Carlton
Palace, with its site, would be disposed of, and
the prodnce applied towards the eipence of alter-
ing (he should have said rebuilding) Bucking.
ham House. - we are well pleased with; us
we ourselves suggested it should be done, as
long ago al when the erection of a new Palace
was first !tinted at. But our suggestion was,
that his Majesty might be induced to do this ;
anitthat: it should come, at any rate, as 'a boon
from the King.' To our great astonishment,
however, not OHO word is said of his Majesty,
whose property Carlton Palace is, upon the oc-
casion;. but it is dealt with and talked of with
as much sang froid as if the whole property of
the Crown were vested in the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests,, and us if his 'Majesty
were a mere tenant at will, compellable to quit
one house, or give up another, just as it may
please them to decree. Now this, we conceive,
is an instance of ungraciousness and bad taste
whichhas seldom been equalled. The thing it-
self his, a very proper one to do; but there is a
right and.: wrong ,way of doing every thing ; and
on this occasion the Ministers, or their organs,
hove taken the wrong one. Carlton House may
lie been built, for ought we know,mpon Crown
land the permanent right to which the King
gives up for an annual revenue from the
State ; but still it was the private house
and residence of his Majesty long before
be came to the Crown ; and might, we
suppose, have bet it retained at such, without
the gracious permission of these, his delighted
servants.. lint only let us suppose it different
state of things, and that n similar act had been
done by one of the Ministers.; and how they
would have been lauded to the skies by: each
other l .Had Mr. Canning, or Mr. Itobinkm, for
instance, been induced, to give. up 1161°1110BI resi-
donee for the, public, ease or convenience, not
only would his self-denial and devotedness have
formed the theme of tiresome, tasteless pane.
but, we will venture to say, a sly hint at
compensation would have been made to boot:
