      The General Election. •. '¦¦ . . . •?—: ...

      THE GENERAL ELECTION . . ' ¦¦ . . . : .... ¦ ' Qln several cases below , the election , by ' choice of hands is mentioned , and not the ultimate result of the poll ; but the required information -will , be found in the list of members returned , as far as the issues were known up . to the time of cur goinjj to press . ]

      THE CITY OF LONDON . Lokd Joiijt Russur-L is returned for the City—Ministerialists and Registration Society notwithstanding . 'The official declaration was made on Monday . The numbers were—Duke , C 664 ; Rotliscbild , 6308 ; Russell , 6308-Crawford , 5808 ; Currie , 4519 . Mr . Citrrie , therefore ' is rejected . ' The greatest excitement prevailed ia the City last Saturday , and business was almost suspended . Lord John Russell was- moving about all day long from one polling place to another , addreaeing the electors in confident tones , or thanking them personall y for having voted for him . It was whispered durine the ii . i . T- ¦» -r i -i * ¦• - * .. . ¦ ¦« ¦ «' - _ _ . _ . w *****

      poll that Lord John , Baron 'R othschild , . and Sir James Duke , were acting in concert ; but whether this were really the case or not is uncertain . After the close of the poll , the successful candidates ( with the exception of Baron Rothschild , who had left ) 'briefly iaturned their thanks to the voters . There -were loud cries for Mr . Currie ; but he did . not come forward . Lady John Russell , her son and ' two- daughters , were in the gallery of Guildhall during these latter proceedings . They then proceeded with Lord Joh n Russell in their carriage to the committee-room in King-street ; and during his Lordship ' s progress to that place , and afterwards oft his way from King-street to TempW-bar , he was lcudlv cheered .

      " ihe voting at the Ouudluulj" says tlie Timis '' presented some anoni alous features . Lord Jolin Russell received a number of Tory votes ; split Totes -were givon between the noble lord and Mr . Currie , his strongest avowed opponent ; while others ' , who divided their votes between Lord John and three of his competitors , eliminated the name of Baron Rotlisohild from their ' ticket . ' At the Portsokon ami Xioundsditck district , -which may he denominated the Jewish quarter of London , fae polling also exhibited a . phase or two worth y of . notice . Very few votes were polled there until the close of tie morning-service at the synagogues , but those few-were

      pretty equalty divided between Baron Rothschild and Lord Jolm Russell , there being , however , a slight preponderance in favour of the former ; but , as the . day wore on the disparity against Lord John became very striking , as in the two hours between eleven and one o ' clock only 32 polled in his favour , while as many as 156 polled for the Baron . The solution of a state of things so different from what prevailed at all the other districts was that large numbers of the Jewish voters , anxious not only to return tlie Baron , but to return hint at the head of the poll , ' plumped' in his favour , ia order to check the advance of his rivals . This course

      gave umbrage to the more ardent partisans of the other candidates , wlio talked of retaliating by also j ) lu » nping ' for their favourites . The threat , we believe , was not put into execution to any appreciable extent . " At tlie proceedings at Guildhall on Alouday , Sir James Duke and Baron Rothschild having returned thanks , Lord John Russell addressed the electors . After thanking-them for their stipport , and expressing his obligations to the committee-men , and to the independent portion of the press which had given him its aid , he referred to th « future prospects of the Liberal party . " Hitherto , we have had aB an excuse from every Minister who has happened of late years to be in powordfc was my excuse ( a laug h ~ )—it lias been the excuse of Loud Pahnerston , and I think it a very fair and just

      excuse—that parties were so finely balanced in the House of Commons that it was difficult to cany Liberal measures-with a sufficient majority to secure the assent of the other House of . Parliament . Now , if it be true , as 1 hope it is , that tho result of this general election will be to give a large Liberal ¦ maj ority in the House of Commons so large that the Upper lloue will no longer have any reason on that ground to refiiflc the measures that may be passed by the other House of Parliament , then that excuse must henceforward full to tho ground , nnd Lord Palmorston will have no such reimon to allege for not bringing forward , not six or seven or a dozen measures but such measures beginning with one or two of great importance as shall show that Ministers are truly reformers and that nothing but the circumstances to which I have alluded have hitherto cooled their

      ardour . ( C' // ee ; vj . ) 1 sec sumo symptoms of improvement in this respoct , becauao this election has not tunica —tho people of tho United Kingdom would not allow it to turn—on the temporary question whether Sir John Bowring wns right or wrong . The nation has had too niucli good sense to allow itself to be divided between BowTingltesniulYcTutes . ( A luu < jh . ~ ) They know that tho true distinction is between Conaomitivos and JWformcrs ; tlio Conservative : ; desiring to maintain our 111-utitutions nnd not to improve them , and the Ketbrmcra desiring to improve ouriiintUulions and at the samc tmiG to preserve thorn .
