Mr. Wattent WARD, the Tory candidate for the City, arrogates
to himself and his party a vast superiority in loyalty and respectability over such men as Mr. GROTE, Mr. GRENFELL, Mr. NORMAN, and Alderman Woon. Mr. WARD would have acted more prudently had he been content to remain among the crowd, instead of thus obtruding himself upon public notice. We learn from the Morning Chronicle, that an awkward question will be put to him on the hustings, if it is not satisf■ctorily answered before : he will be required to explain the peculiar circumstances which prevented his succession to the chair of Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, when his turn came to fill it. If it is unpleasant to Mr. WARD to be thus catechised, he has no one to blame but himself. Perhaps he will bring forward his friend, the Lord Mayor VitricHEarra, Er-Contractor of Stationery for the Treasury, HS s ponsOr in the mutter alluded to. Mae would of course silence all ohjections.
