THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

According to the' arrangement, which we announced
last week, Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE arrived in town on
Saturday ; and yesterday at noon, in company with his
fellow-candidate, Mr. CHARLES TURNER, he attended a
meeting of the members of the Central Conservative
Committee, at the Clarendon-rooms. Amongst those
present we observed the elite of our mercantile aristocracy,
and a large number of leading Conservative professional
men and tradesmen. The object of the meeting was to
introduce the two gentlemen, personally, to the chairmen
and members of the various ward committees and other
friends, and afterwards to announce the order of the
different meetings at which the candidates are expected
to attend during the present week. Mr. EDMUND MOLY.
NIXIE, Chairman of the Constitutional Association. was
called upon to preside, and, having briefly addressed those
present, and complimented the canvassers upon their
exertions in the good cause, Mr. BUCKMASTER, the Se.
cretary, read the following list of the meetings fixed upon
to succeed those held last night :

Our object in alluding to this subject is to refute
a recent boast of the Free Trade party connected
with the repeal of the Navigation Laws, which will,
no doubt, be freely put forth during the coming
election. There has lately been a revival—luck
again !—of activity in the demand for British
shipping, both at home and in foreign ports.
Many vessels, it is said, have been sold during
the past few weeks at good prices ; and even
the government have now difficulty in procu-
ring ships suitable for emigration purposes. If
we admit this to be true to the fullest extent
stated, what does it argue in favour of Free Trade ?
Positively nothing ! It would equally have occurred
had Free Trade never been dreamt of. The almost
fabulous wealth discovered in our Australian colonies,
and the high prices offered for labour, have excited
the cupidity and the enterprise of the population of
almost every country in the world ; and the demand
for shipping to convey the throng of emigrants

to the members of the committee and the canvassers for
the active exertions used to promote their return ; and,
after three hearty cheers had been given, the meeting,
which was a very enthusiastic one, separated.
