given an ample account in our preceding columns,
began yesterday at noon. The crowd, to gain admit.

the preliminary business had been gone through, Di.

Majority in favour of Sir Rona: —43
..The business began again early this morning. The
issue is very doubtful. Sir ROBUST INGLIS appears t
be the favourite.

the proceedings at the election for the Univer.ity..
Cliford. and those in Parliament last night, necessarily
occupy so much 'space, that we arc not able to offer
many remarks no either. Those of our readers
'however,
who are yet firm to the principles of the Con-

"Readers to be) will rejoice to perceive, that note ithsrand-

ing.the extraordinary etertioos mode to secure the re-
' elettiOn of Mr. Pan, the friends of Church and State
ilium/bandy placed Sir Ronne Inoue at the Bead of

be fully maintained during this day; lad that it
will be isuoved that the advantages which Mr. Pau. is

The 'ilerech of 'Colonel Wtteoti, the Member foe

assume that their own intellects have advanced in the
same Mil% as the general intelligence of the. times, will
be read with gfrat pleasure by those who prefer piath
downright English feeling, expressed in clear and diip
tinct terms, to the specious but dangerous principle's
which are too o'ten concealed under the tinsel of bril-
liant language, of the intricacies of lengthy argument.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday are devoid of matter of
general interest. The details of the last illness of the
Pops, and of the proceedings consequent upon the
death of his Holiness, are but repetitions of former
accounts of such an event, and the world in general but
little cares for the ceremonies which are observed ou
the occasion. Not a word of foreign political news is
to be found in these• Papers. The French Fuuds main-
tain their prices. LuxActs of the Papers are given in
another column.

We are not surprised at the Common Council of the
City of London having voted an Address in favour of
Catholic Concession, and the freedom of their City to

An historical review of the proceedings of this august
Body, from the days of WILKES to those of Queen
CAROLINE, would show how often it has taken the
wrong side: and we apprehend that even the cause 45
