ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM GREAT MEETING THE CITY OF LONDON. Oa Saturday a public meeting wu held at the Lemke Tavern, for the purpose of forming as association to be called the " Administrative Retorts Association." The meeting was convened by a regal 11l ion from a number a distinguished merchants and others connected with the City of Ludo's. The object, u stated in the requisition (which has already appeared in our 0010161111), was to fora the ;basis of an organisation by which the various wind latencies throughout the country, setting aside all party and personal considerations, might associate themselves with the city of London for the aitsionsent of administrative reform upon the basis of thorough responsibility, prunotion for merit, and barium management of every department and office of the government. This sisretiag wags called for twelve for one o'clock, but long before that hour the entnaos to the London Tavern was besieged by crowds of penone anxious to obtain aden'esion. At half-past twelve the *stir doors were closed, it being inipos.ib'e to find room for more persons than had been already admitted. I a order to aorommodate the large crowds of persona who were suable to obtain admission into the meeting at the London Tavern, a supplemental meeting wu held at the Unildhall. The large room at the Lyndon T ,in which the meeting was held, oapable of holding 1,500 people, was densely crowded some time before the commencement of t►e buiasse of the day. Among t►ose present on the platform, we noticed a mew her of members of parliament, among whom were—Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Major Reid, M.P., Mr. F. French, M.P., Mr. Swift, DI P., Mr. Brady, M P., Mr. Duffy, M.P., Mr. Maguire, M.P., Captain 8c obeli, M.P., Mr. Oliveira, M.P., and Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P. Among the merchants and other connected with the shipping and commercial interests of the City of London, we also noticed Mr. G. W. Craw hard, Mr. Oasaiott, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Bennoch, Mr. W. T. Hall, Mr. Laird, Mr. Torrent Meed Haiti, Morgan, Mr. Ogilvy, Mr. Ponies, Mr. Traven, Mr. Wil kiasoe, Mr. Amory, Mr. Lister, Mr. Tits, Mr. Nemll, Mr. Collett, Mr. Baker, Mr. B. Smith, Mr. Samuel Brows, the secretary of the new association, and numerous others. Shortly before one, on the motion of Mr. J. I. Tanvana, Mr. SAYI7 IL MOZLIT was called to the chair by soclamatien. Mr. Swabia. Moaczr commenced the business of the meeting by saying—Perhaps I ma hardly give a more striking evidence of the earnest feeling whisk has 'lusted with refermee to that great matter which rro ere anxious to press upon yen than by statiog the fast that, owing to the exceed:ugly crowded state of the room, we have resolved to dominance the business dee =Lots' earlier than was ode. sally intended.

I would ask whether it would sot be grateful to us, for instance, to see Rowland Rill made Postmaster-0 I?

I believe the remedy is is the bands of the people. Depend upon it, lit is because we will it to be that It is so. I believe at this moment there are not fifty men in the House of Commons really and thoroughly proof against the various forms of influence which surround the path of members of paths. ,meat. (Cheer) There are now in the HOW* of Com linoi• 120 sons of peers and 100 grandiose, sons-in-law, or Whet relatives, making in all 220, or more than a third of SO Reuse of Commons, immediately connected with the peerage. Now, I believe that thaw gentlemen have se good a right to be in the house as any other men in England, but then I may doubt very much the wisdom of the coalitions eke which have d this. (" Hear," and laughter.) But as long as men reverence gold chains, and purple and las linen, and es long as the constituencies are preparci to mead such men to represent them in the great council of the nation, we shall find that systems of government perpe tinted of which we sow ceurpfaier and it is only by our individually feeling, and faithfully fulfilling our duties in dealing with candidates for our suffrages. that we shell get any real redeem in th• matter. (Hear.) As the first step towards the sttainment of that object, I submit to you that there must be such a thorough change in paths opinion es to treats a rela ionsbip between the member of parliament and his constituents. lam convinced that we shall obtain s real administrative reform so long as a man is obliged to go cap in hand to the Tots?, awl say la Ma.

When I Vw "'p rima to parties for the purpose of why they did not vote, I have on many soessions bees told by them, to my astonishment, that" they considered it was not worth while to give that width was sot worth asking fir." That is a proof of an amount of immorality on the part of the people which would justify, or at least account for, the state of tbiogs which we now seek to reform.

It is of vital importance you should do so. Let as cot be diverted from the one great object we have before us—the formation of an rioniation which, if it shall faithfully discharge the duties with which it is to be satrusted, must tell on any government which may be established in this country. (Hear, bear.) Before 1 conclude this address, I feel anxious to refer to one point, which I before forgot to notice. It is this. I wish to express my enasersent and in dignation at the flippancy of the prime minister of England.

That the exclusion from °flee of those who possess in • high degree the practical qualities necessary for the dilution of affmrs in a great commercial country, is a reflection upon Its intelligenos and a betrayal of its interests.

(Hear, hear.) 1 will not eater Um these matters. But I will allude to one point which you ought to understand, for the rupees of Wastes. ties the mode in which the banner of the eatioa hoe been conducted. You may remember that a short time ago I brought the ease of the traesport service before the House of Commons. I said that we had • Seat which, if properly managed, would 'undone four times the work it did, end would have done it better. (Cheers.) I said that out of the 8,010,0001. devoted to that senior, 2,000,0001. bad been surilked. (Cheers) What was the answer I received ? Sir J. Graham mad is C. Wood were ready to pauses at ones apes me; but they did not make the slightest allusion to those two imponsat facts which I now repeat. They eon. tented themselves with saying that I was attacking • deaf and dumb man, simply busses I alluded to a deaf and dumb gentlemen in truing the progress of • 'ergo. But the case of that maa wee only part sad parcel of • system. They neve put • deaf and dumb man in office wherever the man's business was to hear and to speak. (" Hear," and laughter.) I believe the gentleman in question lea very good and able matt ; but who among you, if he Wanted to employ • deafened datish man, would didak of snide; him a cashier or a clerk at the counter, where he would have to answer all inquirers? (Cheers and laughter.) Why, that eau exampliSse and illustrates the whole system. (Cheers.) There are some 'earliest men in the government offices. But it you go from the prime minister downward', some how or other you will almost always find every man in the wrong place. (Haar.) When we in the House of Commons make any charges against the government we are always listened to with apparent attention by the ministers, but aothing ever comes of the matter. Ido not know that I can illutrate that point better than by relating an event which happened to myself a short time ago at Marseilles. I was over there on banner connected with the transport service of Francs, and having occasios to call oa a very eminent mucsatile fireaiin that city, I thought. it desirable that I should ask one of the partners his opinion of the plans 1 which I ventured to submit to:the French government for eseducting that service. I saw • gentleman, ens of the beide of the firm, who bad quite • John Ball appearance, end lat ones asked him if he spoke English? He an swered me with a perfect English accent, "All right." (A laugh) I eat by his side and read over to him my plans, and at the end of every sentence he always ezelanned, " All dght. Afth having laid my ezplenations before him for Wit , a quarter of an hour, I was leaving, when I met his ' aplbsw, a Junior partner in the firm, who had been a long two fa England, and spoke Eaglish ' well. I told him I had I hen explaining my plans to his uncle. He asked me if he II eadrsmmd rwilint no.
