He could wish, however, that the friends of liberty sl Id habituate themselves to mark with strict discrimination the difference between coalition, or ba , :rifice of principle, for the adjustment of per sonal views and Interests; accommodation to views differing from our uwu is. extent rather than princi ple ; and factious separatism from iwmonal prefer ences and persimial feelings—which last, and which 'dime, could disappoint the hopes of the friends of liberty.

Re turning more directly to the subject of the ream. lotion, be deprecated. in this stage of the busi ness. nay rUrmpt at or nomination of another candidate. There were those, he said, who talked of nominating Major Cartwright. He venerated that patriarch of Reform from the deepest recesses of his heart, 'old he would consider it Of oire of the proudest flays for British free dom that should see that outright and unwearied patriot returned, by any body of indepencleut Electors, to the House of Commons. But with all these feelings glowing it► his bosom, lie should regard the person who should now propose him, however unintentionally, as a traitor to the public cause. A Meeting hail been held fur the minims tioto of Caudidstes. It was competent to Elec tor at that tune to have nominated Al_ijor Cart wright. lie was nut then nominated : another was nominated, anti by a vast majority approved. Since that time. every honourable exertion had been made in behalf of that Candidate—the enemy had been driven from the field ; ■nd nothing hut relaxation of their vigilance. or dissitsiou among themselves could disappoint them of their ultimate triumph. In such a state of things, the permit who should propose Major Cartwright, would elan; der, in reality, the grey hairs of that venerable Re hm-ow, by imputing to him so na►row a principle MA preferring the pepsin'sl gratification of being a C *validate, or even the prospect of being a Rowe institutive of Wetotoolvter, to the unanimity which It present prevailed, and the assured success which soothing but ill-timed division could endanger. lie then et►t►eatrd permission to oteloott to them the last page of the Report. which he hail borrowed for the, purpose. In Strict accordance with this sentiment, in the last page of the Report aas the moron he had the I of seconding. Some, perhaps, there were, to gal the tumult of dimwit tom wits snore acceptable than the triumph of pub lir ',nuclide; but he solemnly exhorted every real friend of liberty—every lover of the rights and happiness of niastkind—every individual who would nut bastardise himself as the spurious mixture of some foreign stock—but would *hew the pure legis lunacy of his blood (a legitimacy of more import ance than one that was much talked about at pre- sent), and would *hew his descent from those A liglo.Sexoti ancestors who had laid the first foun dations of our constitutional liberties, to rally round the Candidate of their towninaliott. Mr. HUNT came forwsrd to address the Meeting, but the 'titular became so great that the Chairman w a s tinder the necessity of entreating the attention of the Alerting to coy Gentleman who wished to address them. A partial hearing being obtained, Mr. HUNT said, that lie attended here to-day to put some questions to Mr. Hobhouse. He never raw hien. to the best of his knowledge, before the last day'a Meeting. lie had then, with great mo desty and decorum, withdrawn, while his own im mediate merits were the topic of conversation. In his absence, on the last day, his friends 110. awered some questions which he (Mr. Hunt) had put to them respecting the pretensions of Mr. Hob house. One Gentleman (Mr. Thelwall) rather -,.gaily said, Mr llobhouse had dune a great deal to thew his pr' iples, for he had throw,. sway his family sooner than abandon his principles. (Mr. Thelwall here denied having made use of this de claration.) Mr. HUNT resumed—He said, that some such expressions were used on the former occa;ii )))) , and the Chairman had said it was no slight sacrifice for a man to make, to give up his family to sup port his opinions. But it was due to the Chairman to say, that he contradicted this part of the Report of his speech in a letter from the country. A letter also count forth from Mr. llobhouse 011 the odes aion, which did honour to his head and heart. It shewid he was tint about to palm himself upon the Electors of Westminster under this disguise, hut that he was living in complete concord with his own family.—(Cries of " IVhat have we lo do with his family?" —and the opposition to Mr. Hunt became so general, that the Chairman was obliged again to appeal to the Meeting to obtain fur him a hearing.) Mr. HUNT, as soon as silence could be obtained, contended for his right to be heard, on the preseut occasion. Fair play was his motto—be meant to deal fairly. and hoped respectfully, but with out dieginse, with particular individuals. Mr. Huh loupe had stated that lie was ready to answer any questions which might he put to him. He %mild therefore ask that Gentleman, if lie recollected making ally strong personal allesiou to hint, soma tittle ago, at the Gun Tavern Mr..ilonuouse replied, most certainly not. Mr. HUNT team said, it must have been an west. in the Newspaper reports.—(4 Hobhouse was in them represented to have said, that an individual doling the last contest had had the audacity to mount au orange cockade, and a cap of liberty, the emblem or *revolution. and that lie had no doubt the individual who had done su, would hove no hesitation to wade up to hip knees in blood to attain his object.—(Lord mid continued opposition to the speaker./—Me then charged .the Chairman with basing said that it was impossible to secure Major Cortwright'a return; the Major's friends were of a different opinion, and they meant at the last Meeting to have proposed him,. were it not for a trick by which they were peenented from obtaining a hearing. Mr. Winder, who meant' to have proposed the Major, was put down becavie he was its elector.—[A long interruption was again occasioned by the disinclination to Isear,Mr. Hunt.] If they did Dot think Mr. Hobloouse able to at.• ewer the questions which he mesout to put to him; thus they did right in keePiug up the **mull. If they thought be had an answer, they should allow him the opportunity of giving it. lie lucent to • pmpr.se an Natenilefutist lb the motion now hefoie 'lhe , Chair, which was, that as the Major's friends were prevented by nutnagebtent from having a hearing at the former Meeting. all the prociedings .1141(•1► dowtil from it must be considered as irreg.*. /er•; and that a new Meeting should he celled in Palace.yiord, to comber the Electors of Westminste► to consider of • !proper person to All op the present vacancy in their represeotatiosi. The framer vow credine were Diviner. his (Mr. Flout'.) friends were refused admission, while the friends of the Non. Baronet had free ingress.--(Criee V 11 No P')—. lie concluded 11 moving his amendwout for a new Meeting._ Mr. HOISIIOUIR denied having alluded In Mr. Hunt in the in rhe bad pointed out. What hr had amidst the Gun Tavern, in Pimlico, was fins— that the Conti --, Caleb Baldwin, hid me orange cockade, mud that he (Mr. flubhouse) hail um doubt that the amine persons who steertt the kennels iu Unhhn with blood, would not stop at the renewal of such sasiutsinary crakes ui the streets lle disclaimed hasiug made the .ii!ticosa to Mr. Hunt Wasl meant for a et iv quarter. Mr. Wool. tit denied that be attended the host Meeting for the purpose of proposing Major Cwt. Wright, hut he did attend in the full and contidetit expectation that such ti proposition would have been made. and eta. only dissuaded from milking such a motion himself, when he found no filter per sou stepping forward to do it, by the expression of opinion from certain quaarters, that there was no chalice of being able eventually to secure the Ma. jot's election. He lamented this apparent apathy to the long and tioble services of the venerable ad vocate of lteforin. It was soother proof of public ingratitittle to an old and lung-tried patriot. (Greif upplanse.)—When the late vacancy occurred, he lord heard of the proposition for Mr. with ghat surpriae—he did not mean to disparage that Geode's's'', but he could not look upon his claims as hearing ally comparison with those of the venerable Major's. The fact was, he was convinced the latter might have sticceeded, if his cause had been, as it ought, heartily espoused, for the ('oust hireling fled at the approach of a steady and or. ganised opposition. From the caution and corcuin opection about selecting a popular candidate, ant would have thought Sir Murray Maxwell was a great Goliath, and that it 'required a beenird David to contend with him.—(Laughter.)—He kiwi's it would, be the pride s and glory of Major Cartwright to get into Parliament—if he there, he would at least fall in the tomb of the nation's liberties. Ile concluded by recutnineudiug a short delay, to ascertain what steps might yet be taken to secure tin• Major': return at the emitting electiMi—and he conjured Mr. Hobhouse to defer fur the present to the Major Isis honourable purpose. Major TOllllOl4 made an animated appeal to the Meeting, in which he did justice to the merits and services of Major Cartwright, and regretted the Im possibility of putting him in tioniMation with any prospect of eventual success. They had already seen the venerable Major put in nomination, and the very sniall support which he on that occasion received. His friends had now lost the public op portunity of 'tutting him in nomination, and it would, lie thought, be unfair to start Ins preten sions, great as they undoubtedly were, to bar the success of such measures as had already been ma tuvrkfor 'timber popular candidate. . . Mr. GA LE JONES made several effort• to obtain • hearing, hot without Ptlwet. Doctor WATSON read a letter from • Gentleman named Northmore. in ►upport of Major Cart aright's claims. Mr. cANPSELL recommended union •nd concord to:the Friends of Iteform. Sir CHARLES WOLSLLEY said he was not an elec. tor, but he would only detain them while he utter ed three short scuttle:es :—The.first was, That he conceived Major Cartwright had been ill treated ; the second was, That he held in his hood. a pub. hilted letter from Major Cartwright, on the conduct of Sir Francis Burdert mid the Westminster Com mittee, which he thought called for an answer from both ; and the third and last sentence was, That he recommended an acquiescence tit the proposi. tion of Mr. Winder, to pause and see wind steps could yet be taken in support of the Major.—(4p. !louse.) The CHAIRMAN desired to know whether any other person wished to address the Meeting, hefoie he rose to make a few observatiosis. No person appearing, the Chairman proceeded to express his astonishment at the charge of partiality which had been brought against him by Mr. Hunt, for that Gentleman had expressed Ins sense of the impar tiality with which he (Sir F. Burdett) had treated liim.—(t. Yes," observed Mr. Hunt, so far as regards myself, bat not with respect to others.") — Ile should ue sorry if any impression went abroad, that he had not discharged his duty in the Chair with impartiality, when his uniform practice was to allow even a latitude on such occasions. Mr. /lout had alluded to an incorrect statement which had found its way Mee a report of Its speech at the last Meeting. Reports of speeches at crowded pub lic meetings were often inaccurate, because the talk of taking them was one of great difficulty. What he did say on that occasion was, that the known warmth of attachment which Mr. Hobhouse hail for his family was peculiarly great; hut that still he had• been impelled by a sense of paramount duty to adhere to his own political priticiples, too. withstanding the painful private feelings which this difference must trove imposed upon a wan of his warm &anodic attire/nent. Mr. Hunt had iux nuated, that when he (the Chairman) spoke of Major Certwright's little chance of success ion the struggle, he had done so after on understanding with the Major.—(Mr. Haut, "I supposed so."] — It was hard to be made answerable for acts, and seri- Moroi,. and opinions, whirl) it man never did hold ; but it was still harder to be made responsi. ble fur eve,' the suppositions which might enter into any Gentleman's mind.—(A laugh. and //ear.) — But fur this nnppn.ition of Mr. Hunt there was not the smallest fotradation. He had always plaiuly and fissility expressed his opinion that Major Cartwright hail no chance of succeeding io getting returned for °Westminster; indeed lie had till now conceived the pure patriotism of the Major to have been unaccompanied by any selfish herliog. of trinity. Indeed he had even expressed his wish that the Major should riot get into Parliament—first. because he thought it would occasion his death ; and, secondly. because he thought the House of Commoria the last plaCe in the country in which the Major could serve the cause of Liberty. He had never undervalued tlw venerable' Major's peelers.. rance and eff o rts--on the contrary, lie had umformly praised them ; hut he thought they were noire effective for the people in the manner in which the Major woos accustomed to make loll' ill—by his wo. lugs surd addresset..-(Appiasse.)—Such bang Isis oposion; he avowed it, and this ars the head sod kola wjhis offending."

PLACES IN REVERSION. - Earl GROSVENOR WINN for the purpose, SS ils said, in consequesice of what had happened ou the previous evening, of submitting a motion to their Lordships for the production or certain secinents respecting the granting of places in reversion. The moti.m was, in effect, the same as he had siihnoit ted to their Lordships in the year preceding. The first part of his motion was so %era simple its nature and object, That he could toot a twipate any objection to it. The other part. he lem.rti, might tint prove su successful—some difference of opiiriou might be entertained on it, but it should be cen.i &red that lie was not about to propose a Bid to their Lordships, 14 the purpose of destroying or beuiuug the power enjoyed by the Crown, or any other power whatever.

But nut to grants by the Crown only shosilrl *fre confine his motirni--• it was his will that all plan: graided in reversion by all other authorities alionhl lie laid before the: Weise. If abuses rbropided in any department whatever, it *us the duty of the House to inquire into them. Their Lordships most be aware that the sole motive of the pieseilt twangs was to obviate any objections that might he is ide to the correction of abuses iu future. The stoniest arising from " vested interests," had, on tuitions for ills, regis !snots of 'odious sinecures, been fretpreorrly voiced.
