Mr. Pattison's success in the London election, on Saturday, was duly reported in our latest edition ; but for the sake of those who had only our earlier impressions we must recapitulate. Betimes in the morning, the Guildhall-yard and King Street were crowded, principally by non- electors assembled as spectators. Towards the hour for opening the business of the day, the bustle at all the polling-places and in the ap- proaches to them increased; cabs placarded with the names of the can- didates crossing in all directions from the respective committee-rooms. The appointment of a large number of polling-clerks, however, and the excellent police and other arrangements of the authorities, prevented confusion or hindrance. At eight o'clock, the first vote was record- ed for Mr. Baring, the Conservative candidate ; but his opponent soon got the start, and in the coarse of the first two hours gained a majority that filled his partisans with triumph. The other side now began to gain in the race ; and at twelve Mr. Pattison's majority was reduced to 43, acording to his own committee, or to 4, according to the adverse report. Subsequently, in the intervals-for the Conservatives had a half-hourly report-their candidate was said to have attained a slight majority; but that advantage, if really attained, was soon lost, and Pattison steadily advanced, until at the close the majority amounted by the reports of his own committee to 201. The proceedings having closed at four o'clock, the successful candidate briefly returned thanks to the electors : they were also hastily addressed by Mr. Wire and Dr. Bow- ring; the Doctor jocosely hoping that Mr. Baring, as he declared him- self in favour of free trade "in the abstract," would be satisfied with being Member for London only "in the abstract."

It is only in the reports of the committees that the progress of the polling can be seen. We subjoin the table furnished by Mr. Pattison's supporters-

6,530 6,403 The official declaration of the poll took place at the Guildhall on Monday afternoon. The crowd about half filled the building, and was exceedingly vociferous. Mr. Sheriff Musgrove declared the numbers to be-

For Pattison, 6,532 ; Baring, 6,367; majority, 165. Mr. Pattison was then declared duly elected. When the cheering had subsided, Mr. Travers appeared as the deputy of the successful candidate, who was confined at home by a sprained foot and the in-

junctions of his medical attendant. He had sent a letter to Mr. Travois', outlining what he would have said had he been able to attend-

" I must tell you candidly, I am really very sorry to forego the satisfaction et returning my hearty thanks to our intrepid troops. I had a remark or two to make to the Lord Chancellor in my address to the constituency ; for by him, or in his office, there has been much delay in issuing the writ. 1 should have said something also about the Attorney-General; who, from the party-spirit which he has evinced so heartily, is surely not fit for so responsible a legal office. I also wished to say a few words about the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, the Earl of Lincoln ; who doubtless is of the same opinion as his father, the Duke of Newcastle "-(Here Mr. Travers was interrupted by groans and cries of " Oh, oh ! " and uproar.) He said, "Gentlemen, you know very well what Mr. Pattison is going to say "-(Cries of " Yes, yes ! " and eheeriti*) He continued reading the letter-" the Duke of Newcastle, who says he likes to do what he likes with his own. (Renewed cheering.) I should have alluded to the subject of the vote by ballot-a measure which is more than ever called for to protect the voter, whose rights have been so trampled on duringthe pre- sent contest. I should have offered some grateful thanks to the Jews, and alluded to the disgraceful attempt on the part of the enemy to call on them to take the oath on the Sabbath-day." (Cries of "No, no !" and " Shame 1") This allusion Mr. Travers illustrated by stating, that in Portsoken Ward, on Saturday, the Bribery Oath was administered indis- criminately ; to which might in part be attributed Mr. Pattison's loss on the poll between the hours of ten and twelve. He thanked the electors on Mr. Pattison's behalf, and remarked that, the apathy of pin elections having been shaken off, the Liberal electors must maintain the position they had now gained. He made a strong charge against the opposite party- " Gentlemen, bribery has been employed extensively against you-intimida- tion still more so. Of the latter I gave you an instance in the letter I read from Mr. Pattison. But it is not of West-enders that we have so much to com- plain ; it is of men in the City, in high station, who ought to be ashamed of their conduct."

Mr. Thomas Baring was received with loud cheers by his friends, and louder yells by his enemies. He said that he would not imitate the irritation displayed on the opposite side ; and he answered the charges that had been made by saying that grounds for such charges against the party Mr. Travers had acted with had reached him. As to the administering of the Bribery Oath, his own committee had given express orders that it should only be put in cases where personation was sus- pected. He should not have come forward at all, had he not been led to believe that many of his ordinary political opponents were anxious that he should do so, and would give him their support- The principles professed by Mr. Pattison had now, however, triumphed : those principles were-attachment to the Anti-Corn-law League, to the vote by ballot, to the repeal of the Septennial Act, to the extension of the suffrage, and to the withdrawal of property from the Church, and thus leaving religion to be supported by the substitution of the Voluntary principle. He most sincerely regretted such principles should have obtained for Mr. Pattison the support of a majority of the electors of the city of London. But the election and return of Mr. Pattison would have no influence upon the policy of her Majesty's Government ; the majority which Sir Robert Peel possessed in the House of Commons, and the good sense of the people of England generally, would counteract the efforts of the Anti-Corn.law League-efforts which he believed to be unconstitutional, disastrous', and illegal.•

Mr. Baring concluded by saying, that his party, though defeated, was not annihilated, and it would in the next struggle be better prepared ; and by expressing a hope that the hostility of the contest would be for- gotten on both sides. Mr. Travers moved, and Mr. Baring seconded, a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs ; who returned thanks, and the meeting separated.

A Court of Common Council was held on Thursday, for the despatch of business. The use of the Guildhall, after the 9th November, was granted for a ball and concert for the benefit of the Polish refugees. Lord Dudley Stuart, who attended with a petition on the subject, re- turned thanks. The bill for regulating the return of jurors to serve in the Lord Mayor's and Sheriffs' Courts was passed. Mr. Ashurst with- drew a notice of motion, " that the Court do petition Parliament praying for the complete adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of penny post- age," in consequence of the appointment of a Parliamentary Com- mittee upon the subject. A resolution was passed, conveying strong censure on those who neglected to render available at the late fire in Fetter Lane fire-escapes constructed on the recommendation of a com- mittee. Mr. Richard Taylor moved, " That the Chamberlain be directed to lay before the Court a return of all presentments of non- freemen, from the inquest for the Ward of Bread Street for the last three years." After some discussion, the motion was rejected. The other business transacted was not of much general interest.

The Lord Mayor gave a splendid entertainment, on Friday last, to the Clergy, the Churchwardens, and the Vestry Clerks of the several parishes in the borough of Southwark and the Ward of Aldgate, re- presented by his Lordship in Parliament and in the Corporation. The Lord Mayor Elect and several Aldermen were among the oompany, which numbered 210 persons.

The usual monthly meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League was held on Thursday, at Covent Garden Theatre ; which was filled in every part. Soon after Mr. George Wilson had taken the chair, a list was read of places at which addresses of congratulation to the citizens of London on the return of Mr. Pattison had been passed : they were- Winchester, Brighton, Leeds, Beverley, Boston, South Shields, Bridge- water, Newark, Halifax, Newport in the Isle of Wight, Carlisle, Kendal, Rochdale, Bradford, Barnard Castle, King's Lynn, besides one from members of the League at Manchester and another from members of the Council of the League. The Chairman and Mr. Villiers made good use of the City election ; Mr. Villiers, how- ever, observing, that an outpost was not to be mistaken for the citadel, which had yet to be won ; and he pointed to the results already attained as proving the use of the discussion promoted in all directions by the League. Dr. Bowring and Mr. Milner Gibson made the speech delivered this week by Sir Robert Peel at Tam worth their chief topic ; Dr. Bowrint exulting over the Premier's tacit abandonment of " protection " ; while. Mr. Gibson insisted that the country could not wait for the realisation of some chimtera of Sir. Robert Peel's, at some future period, but, ilia stead of staying for increased production of corn, must have it im- ported at once. A letter was read from Mr. Travers, Chairman of Mr.

Pattison's Committees, stating that the writer subscribed 1001. to the 100,0001. fund. A long speech from Mr. R. R. R. Moore wound up the proceedings.

The Greeks resident in London and the friends of that nation, to the number of nearly one hundred, celebrated the revolution in Greece by a festival at the London Tavern, on Saturday. The chair was taken by Mr. C. T. Ralli ; supported by Colonel Stanhope, Colonel Thompson, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, M.P., and Dr. Bowring, M.P. Letters of apology for not attending were received from Lord Dudley Stuart and the Earl of Arundel and Surrey. The spirit of the evening is indicated in the more prominent toasts,—" His Majesty Otho, the Constitutional King of Greece," "her Majesty Queen Victoria and Prince Albert," "her Majesty Queen Amelia," "the Hellenic Nation," "the Hellenic Council of State," "the present National Ministry of Greece," "the friendly relations of regenerated Greece with the Allied Powers," (followed by " Rule Britannia" and the " Marseillaise,") "Our guests," (acknowledged by Dr. Bowring,) the Members elect of the National Assembly convened at Athens, and other public bodies in Greece, "the British Parliament," (acknowledged by Mr. Cochrane.) In proposing Queen Amalie, Mr. Ionides stated, that under her auspices education was making great progress is Greece ; which caused her Majesty to be much beloved. The company broke up before mid- night.

At the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday, Elizabeth Allyne alias Talbot alias Cox was put upon her trial for stealing an inkstand, the property of Miss M. Pashaw, at Old Brompton. The prisoner had been seduced from her home by Thomas Adolphus Talbot, who represented himself as related to the Shrewsbury family ; she lived with him as his wife, and became implicated in fraudulent conduct which he committed. The Common Sergeant stopped the case, however, as no proof was of- fered that the prisoner had stolen the article ; and she was acquitted. It was stated that her contrition had procured her the forgiveness of her husband, who accompanied her into court.

On Thursday, Talbot, whose real name is said to be Etty, was con- wicted of stealing jewellery from Mr. Pashaw. Sentence was deferred.

At the Mansionhouse, yesterday, an application was made by the solicitor of Mr. Rock, a rated inhabitant of St. Stephen's Walbrook, for a summons calling upon Alderman Gibbs, the Churchwarden of the parish, to produce his accounts. The Lord Mayor stated, that Alder- man Gibbs had that morning brought the accounts to the Mansion- house and sworn to their correctness; and he recommended a fresh ap- plication to the Churchwarden himself; promising a summons if the accounts were still refused. The solicitor withdrew for that purpose.

A statement was made at the Mansionhouse, on Tuesday, on be- half of Prince Christophe, the brother of the late King of Hayti, who is in a destitute state. The Prince came to this country to prosecute a claim to one-third of certain stock purchased by his brother ; the inte- rest of which is apparently enjoyed by the King's widow, who is said to evade the claim. The Prince had married a lady of some property, but it was deposited with her family, who had been ruined by the late earth- quake in Hayti ; and amp are thus left destitute, while the Princess has jest given birth to a child. A few pounds have been contributed for their relief; but the claim seems to be vitiated by lapse of time—money to push it would at least be needed, and the unfortunate family are threatened with actual starvation. The Lord Mayor regretted that he could not serve the Prince, but believed that if his case were made known through " the usual channels of communication," he would not long remain without the required assistance.

At Union Hall, on Wednesday, Edward Dwyer was committed for trial on a charge of murdering his infant child, three months old. The man, a hawker of brooms, had often been in custody for assaults ; and he had only been a fortnight out of prison, to which he had been sum- marily convicted for biting a piece out of a man's cheek. He was drinking in a public-house, when his wife came in with the child, abused and struck him, and saying that be should keep the child, left it with him. In a fit of rage, he lifted the child up, grasping its thighs with both his hands, and dashed its head against the counter. It died soon after. A Coroner's Jury having sat on the child's body, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Dwyer.
