      [ In several cases below , the election by choice of hands is mentioned , and not the ultimate resul t of ftp poll ; but the required Information will be found in the list of memhsrs returned , as far as the issues were known up to the time of . our gohiy to press . ]

      THE CITY OF LOXDOS . Lord John Russian is returned for the City Miniate rialists and liegistration Societ } - notwithstanding . The oificial declaration was made on Monday . The numbers were—Duke * 0 GG 4 ; Rothschild , 6 & 0 S ; Russell , 6308-Crawford , 5808 ; Currie , 4519 . Mr . Currie , therefore ' is rejected . ' The greatest excitement prevailed m the . City last Saturday , and business was almost suspended . Xord John Russell was moving about all day long from ona polling place , to another , addressing the electors in confident tones , or thanking them personall y for . having voted for him . It was whi spered during the

      poll that Lord John , Baron Uothschild , and Sir James Duke , were acting in concert ; but -whether this -n ere really' the case or not is uncertain . After the close of the poll , the successful candidates - ' ( with the exception of Baron Rothschild , who had leffc | briefl y returned 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 John Russell in their carriage to the committee-room in King-street ; and during his Lordship ' s progress to that place , and afterward * on his way from King-street ' . to - Temple-bar , ' he was loudlv cheered . .

      ' ¦ Lha voting at the Guildhall , " says the Times , " presented some anomalous features ; Lord John Russell received a number of Tory votes ; split votes were given between the noble * lord and Mr . Currie , hia strongest avowed opponent ; while others , who-divided their votes between Lord John and three of his competitors , eliminated the name of Baron Rothschild from their 'ticket . ' At the Portsoken aad Houndsuitch district , which may be denominated the Jewish quarter of London , the polling also exhibited a phase or two worth y of notice . Very few votes were polled there until the close of the morning service at the synagogues , but those few were

      pretty equally divided between Baron Rothschild and Lord John Hussell , there being , however , a slight pteponderance iu favour of . the former ; but , as the day wore on the disparity against Lord John became verystriking , as in the two hcura between eleven and one . o ' clock only 32 polled in his favour , while as many as . 156 polled for the Bavon . The solution of a state of things so different from , what prevailed at all the other districts was that large numbers of the Jewish votei 3 , anxious not only to return the Baron , but to return him . at the head of the poll , ' plumped in his favour , in order to check the advance of his rivals . This course

      gave umbrage to the more ardent partisans of the other candidates , Avho talked of retaliating by also plumping for their favourites . The threat , we believe , was not put into execution to any appreciable extent . " At the proceedings at Guildhall on Monday , Sir James Duke and Baron Rothschild having returned thanks , Lord John Russell addressed the electors . After thanking them for their support , and expressing his obligations to the committee-men , and to the independent portion of the press which liad given him its aid , he referred to the future prospects of the Liberal party . " Hitherto , we have had as an excuse from every Minister who has happened of late years to be in powerit was my excuse ( a laur / Ji )—it has been the excuse of Lord Palmerston , and 1 think it a-very fair and just

      excuse—that parties were bo finely balanced in the House of Commons that it was difficult to carry Liberal measures with a sufficient majority to secure the assent of the other House of rarliauient . Now , if it bo true , as I hope it is , that the result of this general election ivill he to give a large Liberal majority in the House of Commons so largo that the Upper llou-c will n o longer have any reason on that ground to refuse the measures that may be passed by the other House of Parliament , then that excuse must henceforward Ml t o the ground , and Lord Palmerston will have no such reason to allege for not bringing forward , not six or sevon or a dozen measures , but such measures , beginning with <> _ no or two of great importance , as shall show that Ministers are truly reformers , and that nothing but the circumstance * to which I have alluded have hkhorto cooled their of

      ardour . ^ Cheer s . ) I seo sonic symptoms improvement in this respect , because this election h-M not tunica —the people of the United King dom would uoUillow it to turn—on the temporary question whuther Sir < joun Bowing was right or wrong .
