 MR. EDITOR Our election for members to re- present this county is very at hand and among the many subjects of a local character, none, in my opinion, is of greater importance than that which dsfranchises many of our citizens our city eec- tions The citizens therefore, who feel any interest upon that subject, should steadily keep it in mind, and require such pledges from those who become candidates as will insure repeal of the city char ter at the next session of the General Assembly.
 It should be borne in mind by every democrat that during the winter and spring of lS40, the property qualification for voters for common councllmen, was charged by the whigs to be democratic measure are you as democrats willing that such charge shall remain at your doorl For one, answer am not. Our principles in accordance with the de- claration of our rights, that all free white men are equal, and that distinctions by law should ever be be made. But how stands the case with the whig gentlemen, who represented this country at the last regular and the called session of our legislature When an opportunity offered to repeal that unjust and unequal law, they were found by their votes and speeches, opposing its repeal. One of those gentle men assumed the ground that there was no complaint of the citizens of Mobile upon that subject. lie as- sured the house upon his veraciy that he had never heard but solitary individual in Mobile, com. plain of the law--another gentleman, assured rle house, that the opposition to the law was composed of loafers and some few disappointed democrats, who wanted ofice-and yet third, complained bit terly of members from any other county, attempting to advocate measure for the citizens of Mobile. Thus your rights as ireemen have been trampled un- der foot by your representatives, and doubt you will he urged again to support them or portion of them at the coming August election. In justice to the people, those who have supported them, and feel a. gain disposed to support them, should require pledge, that if elected they will go for repeal of the city charter, parcularythat portion which requires property qualification

 By the arrival of the Great Western we have again a few days later from England. The general state of affairs is not much different from that at the de- parture of the last packet The important events in agitation have progressed little farther the ques ton of the sugar duties, of the proposals contain ed in the budget. The minority has sustained de- feat being 36 in the minority; contrary to usage. however, they have not resigned, but fixed the 4th of June for corn law debates. The result it Is con- idently expected will be defeat and dissolution of Parliament. A new election it is supposed will g.se the minority majority. These important movements absorb all other considerations and mer- cantile affairs continues to decline in activity Mon ey WAS becoming more scarce notwithstanding that the rate of interest of doors having risen to the Bank rate; large demands for discount had taken place at the Bank and somewhat increased it cy. The low state of the English currency continued to keep the exchanges with the continent favorable, the price of gold in London being little higher than on the continent, although the export trade had not in the slightest degree revived. The rate of interest at Amsterdam and Hamburg was 3 a 3A per ct., and in London a 6 per ct. This extraordinary differ in the value of money arises solely from the dis
 
 inclination to operate during the preseat political crisis.
