CHRISTIE AND THE ELECTORS OF WEYMOUTH. with which they received me was, that from tie first day that your kindness placed me in Parliamentl have lost no opportunity of voting for free trade—(Cleers)—that I have voted annually for Mr. Villiers's coition ; that early in that great struggle for commercial freedom, which has been crowned with triumphant siccess—the voice of one of the Members for Weymouti has been heard at the meetings of the Anti-Corn-lay League— (Cheers)—that I joined that body before tae summer cause birdse the h o a f dl freeu r fl o a f ' nt itsa d t o et .r u i t (m , oh a a n d a t ca t h h t a ue t r n I gm d .sl i o t t t wr theuasitt I I may remind you ou this occasion of the exer tions I have made for opening the Universities of this country to all religious denominations. Those exertions have not been crowned with success, but ] venture to say I have made Foma progress ; and when I compare the large minorities which have supported my motion with the small numbers that within a few years sup ported Mr. Villiers—when I reflect that we lave now a Government entirely opposed to education or. exclusive principles—and when I avow my intention of persever ing in my motion as long as Icontinue one ofyour Mem bers, I trust I am not too sanguine in supposing that the time is not far distant when dissenters of every kind from the Establishment will participate in the benefits of reformed Universities.—(Loud cheers.) And, gentle men, I know also the active part which I took in the last session of Parliament in the Andover Committee, in exposing the mal - administration of the poor-laws, by the present Commissioners, has, not diminished my hold on the affections of my constituents.—(Loud cheers.) Some exceptions have been taken, gentlemen, I believe, to my appearance, on one occasion, at a Chartist meet ing. I am not, and never was, and as far as I can answer for myself, I never shall be a Chartist. I re ceived last winter an invitation to attend a meeting of the working classes to do honour to Mr. Duncombe. Since I - have been in Parliament I have seen Mr. Dun combe the zealous advocate of every liberal measure. Differing from him on sonic points, I have always ad mired his ability, his straightfordwardness, and courage; and when I have desired his assistance in any liberal measure, I have found him ever ready to give a helping hand. When, therefore, I received an invitation to a meeting,. to do honour to him, without,,, any statement as to the character of Ilia meet ing, my feelings of respect and gratitude to Mr. Duncombe led me to accept it, and it was not until I came to the meeting, that I found it was to be made the occasion for proposing a series of Chartist toasts. It was then too late to retire. I might have erred, but I thought the best course to pursue— certainly it was the boldest—was to stay, and as soon as I had an opportunity of expressing my sentiments, I told that meeting (as ycu may have read in any of the papers of the time) that I was no Chartist—that I did not come there as a Chartist, but simply to do honour to Mr. Duncombe—that though I agreed with them in some of their opinions—l was an advocate for the ballot, for instance, and for an extension of the suffrage, though I could not go the length they went—l differed from them in others, and I particularly excepted to a toast in tended to do honour to Frost, Williams, and Jones. Within a month after Mr. Duncombe made a motion for an address to have Frost, Williams, and Jones brought back from transportation. I voted against this motion, and my reward for attending the Chartist meeting was, that I was favoured with special abuse for this adverse vote in the Chartist newspapers.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, I am not here to say that during my career in Parliamer;t I have committed no error, but I can say this, that I have always acted honestly and independently. There are votes which, if I had thought more of my interest and less of my duty, I should not have given, but the course which I have from the first determined to pursue, was to form my own opinion as to what was right, and to vote for what I thought right, without caring for any man.—(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, the question arises, why am I to be got rid of—(Voices, " No! No! No!")—and who are they, and how many are they who wish to get rid of me, and why do they wish it? Mr. Philip Dodson had taken great pains to convince my friends that if they will get rid of me, he—he (with a particular emphasis on the pronoun, which caused roars of laughter) can bring down here some person occupying an influential position in the Government. He can bring down Mr. Tufnell, the Secretary of the Treasury.—(Laughter.) He can bring down Lord Stavordale.—(Renewed laughter.) Gentlemen, Mr. Tufnell is my friend. I have had no communication with him upon the subject, but I take upon myself here to say publicly what, through the public newspapers, shall become known to him before I say a word to him on the subject, that if he has been a party to an attempt to oust me from this borough, he has been imposed on by statements coming from parties whom he believed to be my friends, and whom he would not suspect of falsehood.—(Cheers.) Mr. Philip Dodson can bring Lord Stavordale here! I saw Lord Stavordale yesterday at Dorchester, and I have the fullest authority from him for saying that he never thought and would not think of interferinc , with me at Weymouth.— (Cheers.) I have also heard that Admiral Dundas, as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, is to come here. Gentlemen, I can speak of Admiral Dundas. He is my intimate friend. I have been in correspondence with him since I came here, and to make it obvious to you what his sentiments are, I will mention that he concludes a letter dated the 11th of this month, thus " success to you at Weymouth in Is47."—Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I have since written to him to state that I have taken upon myself to contradict the rumour—one of the many extraordinary rumours that I hare heard since I was here—that Admiral Dundas was going to displace Mr. Christie at Weymouth.—(Cheers.) I am quite certain of this—that the electors of Wey mouth—the honest and independent electors of Wey mouth—those who returned Mr. Bernal and myself in 1841, on principle, will not allow themselves to be made the dupes of any such intrigues as these.—(No, no.) I speak now to all the electors of Weymouth, without re ference to party. There are many now, perhaps, in this room who differ from me in political opinion—l am pre pared to receive from them, as I have received before, an honest and manly opposition, which I respect.—(Loud cheers.) But I appeal to them, I appeal to them as men and Englishmen, and I know they will not touch treason, or be parties to any foul play towards one who diligently, faithfully, and honestly, to the best of his ability and judgment, has done his duty.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, speaking again to those who differ from me as well as to those who agree with me, I say here fearlessly, that whatever may be our differences of opinion— I feel none of you can say, during the five years I have been your Member, I have done discredit to the representation of Weymouth—(Hear, and cheers) — and after the enthusiastic reception I have met with, and arising from your kindness, to-night—l feel that I may say that, come an election when it may, I can trust en tirely to the honest, independent hearts of my consti tuents, and I have not th e s li g ht es t f ear f or th e resu lt.— (Loud cheering.) I have made no solicitations, but I have had offers of votes in abundance. At least a hun dred plumpers have been offered me if there should be any intrigue against me. My answer has been, I trust that your plumpers will not be necessary. Yes, gentle men, come an election when it may, I am certain to be again your Member, against all the opposition of those who differ from me in opinion and against all the das tardly intrigues of traitorous friends.—(The Hon. Mem ber retired amidst overwhelming applause.) dress, because, literally what I have to say is so totally enduomNe— to I saywish, one word gentlemen, before g r a . n C h h i r s i s a t d i e which has been made, that it would have saved him i h r a r Md el a e rl v .l a oG nt to his political conduct, or to any arrangement w° much indignation; and he seems angry—he seems angry, gentlemen, but I can't tell why.—(Mr. Christie—" Can't you?") Now, gentlemen, the events of the last ten days have given me much pain; and I find it necessary daily to consider the change in the relations that have hitherto existed between myself and the liberal interests of Wey mouth.—(Hear.) Four years and a half have elapsed since, in this very room, I presided at a dinner with Mr. Bernal on my right hand, and with Mr. Christie on my left, to celebrate the return of those gentlemen to Parliament. My health, gentlemen, on that occasion was proposed in terms so flattering that I almost feel a blush at this have voted for the ballot) ;—I say, I don't want it. Well, then they say, we'll bring you in without any trouble. My reply was—(l said this about three months ago)—l shall be very glad to have the honour of repre senting Weymouth, but I don't want to be the repre sentative of a part, in Weymouth ; I wish to be the representative, if I can, of a very large majority of all the parties.—(Applause.) If all the parties in Wey mouth, or a large majority, think that it is advan tageous that I should be sent to Parliament, I'll go. But on one condition—l will not come in for Weymouth if I'm to be mixed up with any other gentleman ; I know there are many wbo would kick violently if I brought any other candidate in my hand. And, gentle men, if I'm mistrusted by my Liberal friends, my Con servative friends have also had their doubts. One came to me the other day and said, this is a very pretty piece of acting ; we know that in early life you " smelt the lamps and trod the boards ;" you do it capitally ; it is a very pretty quarrel got up between you and Mr. Christie. But it's all humbug. Here is the differt nee of my position—the Liberals doubt me.—(Voices— " No, they never did.") What has happened to the Liberal party ? If I must tell the truth, they are get ting too powerful, and when parties get too powerful they are very apt to quarrel among themselves. — (Laughter.) Now, I would say to the Liberal interest, though you are very triumphant, don't be too bold. Re collect that as you got up by degrees, so you may go down. Why, gentlemen, I'll give you an instance—l belonged to the Whig Administration when we had two hundred and forty majority. How we did throw up our caps in the air—what fine fellows we were ! We thought we could carry everything and everybody—no man was to interfere with us. Gentlemen, I belonged to the Whig Administration when we were kept tremblingly alive by a majority of eight.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I have a remedy for the settlement of all these things, and that remedy is —(A voice— "To bring in Mr. Dodson !"—Great laughter.)— That remedy is, I beg to suggest, that the first person to be got rid of is myself.—(No, no.) I beg leave to say that having been induced much against my inclination to come forward as a candidate fur the representation of the mass of the constituency of Wey mouth, T now withdrftw.—(A voice—"No you shant, you shant, you shant.")—(Great laughter.) You must consider that from this moment my Parliamentary con nexion with you is at an end—(No, no)—that as far as Weymouth is concerned I am politically dead. That, gentlemen, is a sombre word. At my time of life I may I be summoned by death from the hustings to the grave, and the honour of represeating you, which I might think a feather in my cap, may be in truth the plumes upon my hearse.—(No, no.) I say, gentlemen, that if I am to live peaceably and happily I had better have nothing to do with the representation of Weymouth.— (No, no.) You are a very excellent people; I've a great regard for you, but I think you've occasionally got a knack of being very troublesome.—(Laughter.) Now don't you imagine that because I give up all idea of standing for Weymouth—(No, no)—I do give it up, gentlemen.—(No, no.) But don't imagine because I re linquish the idea, that I mean to give up living here. No such thing. I shall live here the more. I like your town, it was the habitation of my boyhood. Don't imagine, because I don't think fit to be your represen tative, that lam going to run away. I shall still take a great interest in your harbour, your breakwater, and your railroad. I am going to work the harder. Be cause you won't then be able to say "He did this be cause he wanted to be a Parliament man."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I bid you farewell.—(No, no.) Yes, gentle men, I don't want to go to Parliament; I have no object to serve; I was nine years in office, and I don't sec why I should not live quiet now, and enjoy your good will. That is all I desire, and I tell you again I will not represent a party in this town ; I will not break through the condition which I said I would adhere to, viz., that I would not, directly or indirectly, by my suffrage, by my vote, by any interest on my part, interfere in the return of any body else. I will strictly maintain the course which I have pointed out ; I know you will say it is a difficult one, but I will endeavour to keep to it; and now, gentle men, I wish you all health and happiness, and I assure you, in bidding you good night, that I shall be always most happy to see how I can best promote the interests —the real interests of Woymouth.—(Cheers.) The town of Weymouth was considerably excited on the first three days of the present week by three an nouncements that were made by printed bills—we give them in the order in which they were issued:— "A public meeting of the electors of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis will be held on Wednesday evening next, at the Royal Hotel, at which W. D. Christie, Esq., M.P., will attend. The chair will be taken at seven Admission, le.; Schools, Half-price. o'clock.—Weymouth, Oct. 19, 1846." "To W. D. Christie, Esq., M.P. Sir, —Observing by a handbill this morning, that a public meeting will be held at the Royal Hotel, on Wednesday next, at which ' you intend to be present, I take leave to acquaint you that I also intend to be present at that meeting. I am . fully aware of the license which is usually allowed during a canvass, but statements have been repeated to me as originating from you, which it is due to my cha racter should be repeated in my presence.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Planar DODSON.—Weymouth, Oct. 19, 1846." " To the electors of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis. Gentlemen,—As my name and conduct may be involved in the discussions which will take place at the proposed meeting to-morrow evening, at the Royal Hotel, I shall be present; and I earnestly hope that all my friends and neighbours, without reference to any party distinctions, will do me the kindness to attend.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient bumble servant, ROBERT GORDON.—Weymouth, Oct. 20, 1846." At the appointed hour persons of all classes of political opinions began to assemble at the place of meeting, and before the proceedings closed the largo room of the Royal Hotel, which is calculated to hold 800 persons, was entirely filled. W. Rolfe, Esq., was voted to the chair, and at the time he took it, we noticed on the platform and in the room, the following :—J. Rolph, Esq., W. D. Christie, Esq., m.r., Robert Gordon, Esq., Admiral Ferris, A. Lith gow, Esq., A. Devenish, Esq., R. Swaffield, Esq., C. Penny, Esq., W. Devenish, pun., Esq., W. Turton, Esq., Rev. 11. G. Urquhart, Rev. Frederick Urquhart, W. Ferris, Esq., M. Vertue, Esq., Dr. Boyd, Mr. Tasker, Mr. HaTris, Mr. Atherton, S. Scriven,Esq., Mr. Thomas, Colonel' Hudson, Captain Stephenson, and most of the principal inhabitants of the town. Mr. CHRISTIE, advancing to the front of the platform amidst loud cheers, addressed the chairman, when—. Mr. GORDON rose and said—Mr. Christie, I took the liberty of suggesting to you that if I had an opportunity of saying a few words first, perhaps what I had to say might influence your proceedings. Mr. CHRISTIE—Perhaps you will allow me to say this in reply—that this meeting has been called by me—that I have engaged this room—that I have issued a bill stating my purpose of meeting my constituents on this occasion—(Cheers)—and,:without intending any offence to the Honourable Gentleman whose claims upon your attention I readily admit, I trust I may say that it ap pears to me the most convenient course that I, who have called this meeting, should be allowed to commence. It is my wish to commence, and I trust that when I tell him that I have called this meeting for the purpose of addressing my constituents, that he will acquiesce in my right to begin. I can assure him that anything he may say in the course of the evening I am prepared to an swer; and I trust he is not reluctant to receive an oppor tunity of answering me.—(Cheers.) Now, Mr. Chair men and gentlemen, I wish to say that I called this meeting for no other purpose than that, after having served you faithfully and diligently-- 7 served you to the best of my ability, during five sessions of Parliament, as your representative, I might have the opportunity of ren dering to my constituents what, in this free country, Members of Parliament are in the habit of rendering to their constituents—an account of my stewardship. In calling this meeting I had no other intention whatever; but since this meeting was announced two handbills have appeared —one, an address from Mr. Gordon to the electors of Weymouth ; the other, an address from Mr. Philip Dodson to myself—which render it utterly im possible that I should adhere to the course which I had originally intended to pursue ; and make it necessary that the unfortunate subjects of difference—deeply pain ful, I can assure you, they are to me, and deeply dis graceful, I fear, they are to others—(Loud cheers) — subjects of difference which, within the last ten days, have agitated and bewildered this constituency—should be brought forward by me on this occasion. Mr. Gor don's handbill contains no direct allusion to myself. It is now a matter of public notoriety that a misunder standing has arisen between him and me. That being so, no good can be obtained from my alluding to it here, and I wish to allude to it to this extent, and to this ex tent only—to say that, after what has passed between us before, any misunderstanding with Mr. Gordon is deeply painful to me ; that it will probably expose me to imputations of ingratitude. That imputation I am prepared to meet ; and I am not without a hope (and if it can be so I shall be delighted), that this night's meet ing may afford an opening for the removal of our mis understanding—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and for an agreement perfectly satisfactory to myself and to my friends.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Philip Dodson's hand bill is in the form of a letter from him to me, and with regard to him I have something more to say. Mr. Dod son has thought it necessary to announce his intention of being present at this meeting, and ha challenges me to repeat in his presence statements which, he is in formed, I made elsewhere, when he was not present to meet them. He says he is " fully aware of the license which is usually allowed during a canvass." Now I must be permitted to remark, that I have been making no canvass. I came here to pay a visit of compliment and respect to any constituents.—(Cheers.) During the last week I was engaged in calling upon all of them, without reference to politics or party ; I intended, at least, to call on all, and if I have made any omission, it has been accidental, and I trust will be forgiven. I have, how ever, taken the opportunity (though it cannot be called a canvass) of contradicting a number of false rumours which I find have been circulated in this town to my prejudice, and of assuring my constitutents that if they approved of my political conduct, and would stand by me, it was my, wish and intention to stand by them— whatever certain parties, for purposes of their own, had asserted to the coutrary.—(Loud cheers.) Well, Mr. Dod son says, " he is fully aware of the license allowed during canvass," and challenges me to say to his face what I have stated in his absence! Now, I tell Mr. Philip Dod- . son that he little understands my character (and he has had more opportunities of knowing it than most people), if ho thinks that during my canvass, or on any other occasion, I would allow my tongue a license to depart from truth—(Loud cheers)—o r if h e thi n ks that I shall shrink from charging him to his face with the treason to me, of which I have accused him elsewhere.—(lm mense sensation, followed by loud bravos, and three rounds of cheers.) And now, gentlemen, I proceed to state, in the presence of Mr. Philip Dodson, who knows it, and in the presence of you, the electors of Weymouth, who will be as much astounded by it as I have been, that up to the time of my arrival on Monday week last, I believed, with many strong reasons for my belief, that Mr. Dodson was my most zealous and attached friend ; that he was entirely in my confidence up to that time, and that I believed I was entirely in his ; that I consulted him as I have done since the •begin ning of my connexion with you—(making no secret of it) —on all matters connected with the consti tuency, and that I was advised by him ; that latterly I consulted him on the propriety of issuing an ad dress, stating my intention to be again a candidate for m.r. u ern alto hisof l this d turn constituency of Rochester ; that only one week before I came hero (last Monday fortnight), I met him at his ow n request at Dorchester; the f that then, for the first time, he expressed his strong wish that I should not come here at present, saying that my return was so certain that there was no occasion for my presence, which might create political excitement, and disturb the harmony of the municipal elections; that on my coming here I discovered—for three days I struggled against the belief—(a warning which I had previously disregarded, and showed my confidence in him so much that I even sent it to him)—for three days I struggled against the belief—but I discovered that, while in my confidence and professing himself my friend, he has been doing his utmost with some of my staunchest friends (who, all praise be to them, re sisted his attempts), to get them to tell me that I had no chance here—that I mast leave this constituency, and that he will get some influental member of the Government to displace me, or some person of rank and wealth ' • for which, gentlemen, in the first instance, you did not elect me, and for the want of which I know you will not desert me, — (Tremendous cheering). And now, gentlemen, I have repeated, in his presence, what 1 stated elsewhere. Let , me observe that I have not stated anything, to any one, since I came here, without giving him full liberty to state it to bis face. Now, " it is due to his character," he says, " that these statements should bo repeated in his presence." I think you will say with me, that there is something else due to his character, and that is—that these statements should, in your presence, electors of Weymouth, be refuted. Your love of fair play will give him that opportunity. I give him only one word of warning —my witnesses of his treachery are in the room. And now, .gentlemen, that I have been forced, contrary to my original intention, to enter into this most painful statement, I feel that you are not likely to listen with patience and composure to that account of my conduct in Parliament, as your representative, which I had other wise intended to render to you—(Go on)—but there are one or two points to which I should be obliged to you to listen to me, and I will promise you, under the cir cumstances of the moment, to be extremely brief. When you elected me in 1841, the question on which all the constituencies of the country, and Weymouth amongst the number, were divided, was the question of free trade or protection.—(Hear, hear.) I appeared before you on the hustings as a free-trader— as a free-trader you returned me to Parliament, and as a free-trader in Parliament I have acted. I have been told that there are one or two persons among you who have taken great offence at the part I have taken in sup port of free-trade principles.—(A Voice—" They are very f e w.") I can only say that if they have been offended with me they should never have voted for me. I did not appear before ycu under false colours.—(Hear, hear.) If they supported me as a free-trader, the fault is with them and not with me. But after the enthusiastic recep tion with which I met from my constituents in the course of last week, I am sure of this—that the great bulk of the constituency are not displeased at the course I have pursued ; and that me great ream of the eutimiasat Mr. DonsoN then rose; but Mr. CamsTrE requested that Mr. Gordon would not go away, as, after what had fallen from him, he wished to say something more about him. Mr. DODSON, after an apology on account of being roused to public speaking, said he was charged by Mr. Christie with having betrayed him, being in his confi dence. That he denied. As usual there must be a scape goat, and it appeared to him very likely that he was to be one that night. Ile saw people in that room who would not say what they thought, but would make other people the vehicle of expressing their thoughts ; and knowing that he was never afraid of expressing what he felt, they had made him their vehicle. He asserted that up to that moment he had the most perfect good feeling for Mr. Christie. He had been asked by one, and by another, " Well, Mr. Dodson, who are we to have?" He had said, " Why, there's Mr. Christie, and there's Mr. Gordon, I suppose he'll be the other. He looks as if he was working for it." Then they had said, "Mr. Christie! don't you think we might have a better man?" He had said, "Perhaps not;" but he had no objection to hear what they had to say about it. He only knew this, that the bigger the man the less he would have to do; for there was hardly a day but he had applications for places. Then I mentioned to two gentlemen in strict confidence, that it had been sug gested to me that we were to have a bigger and better man than Mr. Christie. (A Voice—So we will.—Loud cries of " No, no.' s ) He did not think so. A con ference took place with reference to the selection of a bigger and better man, in strict confidence, as he be lieved, but he said, " Lst it be as it may—let Mr. Christie come to this place, I will vote for him." Well, then it was said again, " We ought to have a better man." He replied, "I don't know, but I will look round." Being on strict confidential terms a ith Mr. Christie, he could have sold him at any time. (Mr. Christie—" Do it now." A Voice—" And get your price.") Yes, and he could have got his price. Well, there were a variety ofpersons named, and amongst others, Mr. Tufnell, Admiral Dundas, Lord Stavordale, and—( A Voice—" And who besides ?")—and a bigger man, too, if lie was to be got ; and ho confessed, that if this had been carried out, he should have been the first to have gone to Mr. Christie and told him of it. It was a strictly confidential conversation. He did not hesitlite to avow it. Mr. Christe had cleverly, inge niously, and artfully, at this moment, introduced this subject, knowing that he was a candidate for the office of counsellor on the other side of the water. He denied that he ever intended to bring Admiral Dundas. He never a attempted to buy a e dtoiaterfere withvote ; h thee would vote appeal sandhe had never to those who knew him best. He had been consulted by influential men of both parties, and his offence had been that he had stated his mind. If, however, Mr. Christie came there, he should vote for him. It was true that he had some reasons for wishing that Mr. Christie should not come there just at that juncture. (A Voice —What were they ?) He would tell them :—men of all shades of politics had united within the last four years for the benefit of the town, in an attempt to purge the Municipal Corporation. The present would have been the climax of their efforts, and he feared that if Mr. Christie did come there it might create a disunion among elements—discordant enough already, God knew. They were Whig and Tory united, but he was afraid that if Mr. Christie came it would be, " Every man to his tent." There was also a private reason of his own, and if Mr. Christie wished him to state it, why he sup posed he must.—(No, :no.) It had nothing to do with public affairs, but affected him pecuniarily. Mr. Christie came at a time, perhaps, not altogether expected by him, but at a time when he was very cross. He said, " Well, here I am, and now I want so know whether you'll support me at the next election, and where are all the men I got places for ?" He replied, " Where are they ; do you suppose I keep them in my office ?" " Where are they ?" said he, " Well then," he replied, " You must go and fetch them."—(Laughter.) He was the dispenser of the places which Mr. Christie got (but how he knew not), but Mr. Christie never got a place for him. He then said to him, " I don't like your coming here ; you know what I told you at Dorchester." At the same time he (Mr. Dodson) freely confessed that he said, " If you like to go to Weymouth and take Mr. Christie as a private individual, I don't see that any one has anything to do with it." Well, he confessed that he was annoyed and vexed ; and he said, " Well, now you are come I think I've done with you, and it is very probable that at the next election I may vote for two Tories."—(lronical cries of " Hear, hear," and much hissing.) They might hiss. He allowed to every one the perfect right to do as he pleased, and he would take that same right himself ; and what was more, there was not a man in that assembly who should say, " You shant."—(A little laughter.) Therefore, if he chose to vote for two Tories he would. He did'nt care for Mr. Christie any more than Mr. Christie cared for him. They parted on the same terms as two men who had been so intimate might be expected to part. Mr. Christie said, " I very much regret it," and be replied " So do I." Mr. Christie said, " I hope yet to have your sup port." He replied, "Perhaps you may." That was the finish. He had heard that Mr. Christie had said, he dared him to appear in any place where there were the fiftieth part so many people as there were then. (Mr. Christie—l never said it.) It was that which in duced him to issue the handbill. He feared that if he came there without stating his intention to be pre sent, that Mr. Christie might plead that he was taken by surprise. He, therefore, gave him the opportunity of knowing that he intended to allude to what people said about him. And what did it all amount to? Mr. Christie had chosen to brand him with treason. He had yet to learn how far his conduct could be called treason, when he had stated to the very men who might have been Mr. Christie's informants—" If he comes here 111 vote for him." But if it were treason—if he had deceived or misled Mr. Christie, or been the means of his taking a false step, or doing what was wrong, or invalidating his position with those around him—he was very sorry for it, for it was not his intention to do him serious or hisep e r r i private n i' ap n ,e j rw u s r he y on . s ,Butk hadn e t h mw e ian w dge h t o e ei m t k h n i t n a eh g ek h sh a e d ea p o lle e .a c g u d ° r ea r f e t d for o throughwhat g h they dared not meet themselves. Mr. RODENS —Gentlemen, I stand to-night in a very painful position—l assure you I never felt to embar „, time at the recollection of them. "I had been the great person who had been the means of returning these two Members--I had brought about such a desirable result— an eternity of gratitud e was owin g to me , ” and so forth. This was not from Mr. Christie, and cer tainly my friend has been c h er i s h e d Bernal laid it on very thick—(Lau g hter ) — and the toast was received, according to news p a p er phraseology, with " enthusiastic applause"—such appl ause t h at I can a sw l ia m nsc o me s t yt h h pa e to a s r di it t ni h on e ne r c a h tt e ho e en r Le s i nowtbiea. linterest How comes it chang e d? ringing in my ears.

It was not to he supposed that, for any party spirit, I was to desert a tradesman who had served us so long. No; Iv'e always been an enemy to exclusive interests; I think it most destructive to all boroughs. Well, gentlemen, I have been received with great kindness in this town by a number of Conser• vatives as well as by Liberals. Take the Belvidere, the Terrace, the C re scent —why, at one ti me h ar dl y a Liberal resided there , a nd yet I've not been excluded from those houses ; I have lived in the most kindly feeling with all. Well, now, I am come to the point. What causes the differece of my position with regard to the old Liberal interest ? I admit it—l feel that I am not in the same position as years ago. What has been said within the last ten days ?

Mr. Dodson h as re f erre d to i nd i v i duals who say in private what they dare not avow openly. I beg to ask him if he thinks me one of those individual?— (Mr. Dodson—" No, Robens, you are no!.") Now, gentlemen, I was one of the persons who went to Mr. Dodson, and I put myself on my trial before you to night. I have been charged with creating all the noise and confusion in the town upon this occasion. Now, gentlemen, I will state the whole circumstances of this matter as far us I have been concerned. Yeti recollect that about December, 1845, Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, then upon the subject of the corn-laws, was likely to be dissolved. Indeed, it was siezpended for a time, and Lord John Russell took office. At that time it was thought that a dissolution would occur, and I then spoke to Mr. Dodeon and asked him who the parties were that were to represent us. Several individuals had spoken to me on the subject, but I could not inform them, and therefore I applied to Mr. Dodson. I could get no direct answer from him, I don't blame him for that; but because I could not get the information, I thought it no harm to address one of your representatives, to ask him, on the occasion of a vacancy, if he would stand as a candidate for the representation of the borough. Mr. Christie, in reply, wrote me a letter, which I destroyed, because I did not wish it to be blazed abroad that I was in correspon dence with a Member of Parliament; but the substance was this, "situated as I am at present, it is impossible to state what my condition rosy be. If Mr. Gordon stands for Weymouth, as a gentleman I am bound not to oppose him.—(Cheers.) If Mr. Bernal—such is the kindness which 1 have received at his hands—thatl will not oppose him. But if Mr. Bernal or Mr. Gordon do not come forward, and the electors would choose to have my sers vices, they are at their disposal." I did not publish this about because I did not wish it to be thought that I had assumed a position which I did not wish to occupy — that of having much to do with Members of Parliament. But about two months since Mr. Christie informed me that he had heard from Mr. Bernal that he meant to go to Rochester, and he wrote talus:to this effect: "I hup not forgotten your letter of last December, and now tf' sume the subject. You will have seen by the papers that Mr. Bernal's old constituents at Rochester are getting up a requisition to him, and I have very little doubt that he will accept it. 'When he has done this the difficulty which I told you in December stood in the way of my declaring myself disappears, and I can stand without opposing Mr. Bernal or Mr. Gordon ; I should propose them as soon as Mr. Bernal has settled to issue some such address as the enclosed, but before taking any step, the least I can do after your previous kindness, is to consult you. Tell me what you think about it, and do me the further favour of consulting those other friends whose opinions you communicated to me in December, and who will not now, I am sure, take it amiss that I ask you to communicate with them for me. I will only add that I shall be entirely in the hands of my friends at Weymouth as to coming there this autumn. Hitherto I have of course felt it a point of honour to wards Mr. Bernal not to move without him." I wrote back to tell him that he had mistaken the influence which I had in Weymouth, and therefore recommended him to write to Mr. Dodson, and hear what he had to say. In return to that he said, " You go to Mr. Dod son—he is all right;" and I went to Mr. Dodson. I call Mr. Dodson to witness that never since Mr. Christie has represented this borough have I ever said I was dissatis fied. I have never said there was a more influential or more substantial man necessary to represent this bo rough. (Mr. Dodson—" Certainly not.") Very well. I went to him, thinking he was as hearty in the cause as I was. I forgot to mention that before he told me "heis my pet man.' I shall support him whenever he comes." Well, as soon as I went to Mr. Dodson and showed him the letter, he showed me a note which he had received, asking him what he thought of Mr. Christie. He immediately suggested that a man of greater influence should be had. Well, I-said if you are not sincere in your attachment to Mr. Christie, don't bring him down here, for if he comes here and can vasses there will be a split, for you'll get no one else to represent you (turning to Mr. Dodson)—Did I say so or not? (Mr. Dodson—" I've no recollection.")—(oh, oh.) Well, then, solemnly as I stand before you and my God, I used those words.—(Loud cheers.) When I got home I called to mind all that had passed and I felt in a very painful situation ; I thought Mr. Christie has reposed confidence in me, end I see where he has placed confidence ho has not got it returned ; I assure you I felt pain, but I felt also a strong sense of duty, and I wrote to Mr. Christie, and told him there was not such confidence to be placed as he thought for. —(Loud cheers.) So fully was Mr. Dodson in his con fidence, that that letter was returned into his hands and I will ask him whether in that letter, and in all my correspondence with him, I have not said that Mr. Gor don and Mr. Christie were two fit men, and the men whom I should vote for. I mention this because it has been rumoured that I have done all I can to injure Mr. Gordon. I challenge any one to say that I ever acted thu.i or ever said anythingcalculated to wound his feelings ; I did say this to Mr. Dodeon—lf Mr. Gordon comes I'll support him ; but if he comes with a nominee, whoever raises the standard of revolt, I'll stand under it. Well, I wrote to Mr. Christie again, and I tell you why I did so. If it had been an affair between prrivate individuals nothin g should hav e i n d uce d m e t o h ave di vu l ge d w hat I did ;but I looked upon Mr. Christie as a young man starting into business, with bright prospects before him —with the hopes of his constituency upon him—he him self looking for that period when he should acquire well-earned honours as a statesman, and I thought it would he most painful if he came here at the eleventh hour with all these bright prospects before him, and found them all illusions.—(Cheers.) That was the sole end only reason which induced me to act as I did. Mr. Christie replied:— " When I find Dodson to be a traitor, I will give up the world, and go into a convent. Rest assured that your suspicions are unfounded. I have heard from him to-day. He propozes having a meeting of the Liberal party in a day or two, and reading them my letter." I wrote back to Mnl Christie ; I begged him to sus pend his judgment, promising to suspend mine. I spoke to one and the other of the leading Liberals of Wey mouth. I requested Mr. Christie not to correspond with me, but with those individuals. I spoke to two of them, and found that the same impressions that were endea voured to be fixed in my mind were endeavoured to be conveyed to theirs. 'What was Itodo ? As an honest man, I told of it. I said " I really cannot understand it, hut suspend your judgment ; wait till you come amongst us." I saw Mr. Christie at Dorchester, and there de sired him to act just as if he had heard nothing of what Mr. Dodson had done—to leave it all to time, and to see what the result would be. I'm not afraid to say that I had strong suspicions, from what I had heard, that Mr. Christie was sought to be got rid of. He told me to go to Mr. Dodson and tell him that he should be at Weymouth on Monday, and that, according to his sug gestion, he should bring Mr. Christie with him. I met Mr. Dodson and told him this ; he demurred at first, but said, " If I had told him not to come he would not have come." Now, it has been said that lam the 'party who brought Mr. Christie here. I say that Mr. Dodson told me, in his office, that he would write and bring him down, and afterwards that he would be down in a few days. This is all I have to say. Whatever 1 have done has been done with the purest and sincerest intentions. I have acted as before my God—l have acted with a clear conscience, and whether your verdict be one of acquittal or one of condemnation, it will matter very little to me. I wish to retain the good opinions of my fellow-townsmen. I desire to be in the estimation of the wise and good ; but these things will be lightly held by we, a...put - ea wILli We ofteLardantinn r Pao! in my own conscience that I have done nothing as a man—and as a Christian man—inconsistent with my duty. (On retiring, Mr. Robens was honoured with three rounds of cheers.) Mr. CHRlSTlE—Gentlemen, you have heard from Mr. Robens, and. doubtless observed, as I did, that Mr. Dod son took care not to name the parties with whom he conversed on the subject, and whom he represents to have come to him and suggested that I should be got rid of. I hope Mr. Dodson, before he goes further, will name those parties. Mr. DODSON—I can tell Mr. Christie this—(" Name, name")—that, whatever opinion he may have of a con fidential communication, whatever is given me in con fidence I keep so. Mr. CHRISTIE—Mr. Dodson refuses to name the par ties. I know well the sanctity of a confidential commu nication, but I cannot understand a person being at the same time in the confidence of two different parties, getting each to intrigue against the other.—(Applause.) And if Mr. Do&bn tells me here that it is out of regard to a confidential communication that he refuses to de clare the name of the parties, I tell him openly, and to his face, that his conduct has been such that I regard that merely as an excuse. I trust that Mr. Tasker and Mr. Raggeett will tell this meeting of the conversation which they have had.—(Loud cries of " Bravo.") Mr. TASKER, having ascended the platform during much cheering, said that he 'met Mr. Dodson in St. Mary street, and he thought he asked his opinion whether or not they had not better have two influential men. believed he was a little in fault hi mself, lle for t hereplied hthaavte,hbeutthaotught that quitetimiteh a esirableth p at e they should he certainty d was u Mr. Dodson had held out a n y ho p es to Mr. Christieh. of l being returned for Weymouth, ne ither could he himself su ppose it from Mr. Dodson's askin g him in the matter. As ho was called on, he thought it best to state the facts. Mr. Raggett was called for by the meeting, but he de clined to give information, unless Mr. Dodson desired it, and Mr. Dodson replying " Oh, no," Mr. Raggett de clined to come forward. Mr. CHRlSTlE—Gentlemen, I commenced by stating that it had not been my intention to bring these matters before a public meeting, but I was forced into tho course by the handbills which Mr. Dodson and Mr. Gordon have issued. I stated, also, that the subject was to mo a most painful one. I hope my friend Mr. Tasker will believe me, when I assure him that I take no offence at any part of the statements which dle has so candidly made.

SUICIDE OF A CIIILD.—An inquiry took place before William Carter, Esq., at the Battle of the Nile, Albion-street, Rotherhithe, as to the death of Elizabeth Dudley, aged 14, who committed suicide under the fol lowing circumstances :—From the testimony of the mother and, father of the deceased, who reside in Cla rence-place, Clarence-street, Rotherhithe, it appeared that the latter is foreman at an engineer's in Bother hithe, and that the child was in the habit of taking his breakfast to him. On her return on Saturday morning her mother taxed her with having loitered, the deceased made some reply, when her mother gave her a pat on the head. Some time after the deceased could not be found, and one of the sisters searched the house, and at last found her suspended by a handkerchief to the bed stead. She was taken down, but life was quite extinct. In answer to questions put by the Coroner, it was said that the deceased was of a very cheerful disposition and highly moral conduct. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." MunDEn IN CINCINNATI.—Edward Byington, Esc., was cut to pieces by a Mr.lChurch with a bowie knife in the street, on the 27th ult., in consequence of Byington accidentally running against him. Great excitement prevailed in Cincinnati at the melancholy result.—Arne• rican paper, e.// - 7(- ~~~~ %~ believed the Hon. Member heard that from another party. Mr. CHRISTIE replied in the affirmative, and • pro ceeded—Gentlemen, you have heard Mr. Dodson's and" Mr. Gordon's speeches; you will do me the justice to remember that I stated at first that any difference be tween Mr. Gordon and me caused me great pain —that there were peculiar circumstances between us which caused peculiar pain to me; and that I sincerely hoped that to-night's proceeding would pave the way to better feeling between us. Mr. Gordon's speech made no allusion to me. Mr. GORDON—Certainly not, I never alluded to you. I dont wish to bother myself with this controversy. Gentlemen, I want to retire, I want to go home and go to bed.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. CHRISTIE—I say that Mr. Gordon's speech con tained no reference to mine, but Mr. Dodson's pretended to be an answer. Now, Mr. Dodson has given you a partial, and even as far as it goes, not correct account of a conversation which took place between him and me iminediately after my arrival in Weymouth. I don't complain of his choosing to divulge that conversatioix— I only remark that that conversation was quite as ecnti dential as those communications will offer which he has taken care not to disclose.—(Cheers and hear, hear.) And now, gentlemen, I will tell you all that has since passed between Mr. Dodson and me with regard to the future representation of Weymouth. In the course of last December--at the time to which Mr. Robens has alluded—l received a letter from Mr. Dodson a day or two before I heard from Mr. Robens. Sir Robert '^el had then resigned—Lord John Russell was supposed WI be forming an Administration—a dissolution was ex pected. Mr. Dodson told me that Mr. Gordon had been. vvith him, and he had gone up to town for the express purpose of telling an individual--one who occupies a dis tinguished political position —a friend of mine, and a. friend of Mr. Gordon, that if I came again to Weymouth he (gr. Gordon) would turn me out. Mr. GORDON—I deny it, gentlemen ; I deny it ; I never said any such thing. Mr. CHRISTIE — Let me be understood ; I am not now charging Mr. Gordon with having said it, but Mr Dod son wrote it to me—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear ")—that Mr. Gordon had gone up to town for the purpose of tell ing an influential political person, that if I came down here again Mr. Gordon would turn me out; and Mr. Dod son proceeded to state to me in his letter that his answer was, " You can't tura him out, and you shan't.turn him out, and you can't have your seat unless Mr. Christie has: the other."—(Loud laughter and cheering.) I sent that letter to the ind ividual named in it ; he has lately told me that he has destroyed it, but I will tell Mr. Gor don privately the name of the person, and he can go to him for information about it.—(Much cheering.) About a month after this I saw Mr. Dodson ; he asked me to meet him at Southampton ; I gladly agreed to do so ; we had a very long interview ; in the course of that in terview he told me that he had had another conversation with Mr. Gordon ; and that he (Mr. Dodson) had pro to Mr. Gordon that I and he should be the two eindidates in the Liberal .interest, ttu,d 1110 Mr. Gordon said he would not hear of a seat on such terms ; 'That 'be would not stand with me. Mr. GORDON—Certainly not—to be sure I would'nt ; I said from the beginning, that when I came forward for Weymouth, I would not come forward as the represen tative of a party—l would come forward as the represen tative of the whole. I told my Radical friends and I told my Conservative friends, that if I came forward no power on earth should induce me to join any man in sr particular interest. Mr. Dodson has told me over and over again, " If you'll go hand in hand with Mr. Christie, We're powerful enough to return you both." I said I would not ; I would not join with any man, and that is the reason I wont go into Parliament. Mr. CnaisTrE—l hope that the Liberal electors of Weymouth understand that statement. Mr. GORDON—ldon't want to go into Parliathent ; I want to be left alone. I wont come in with any nominee. I will do what I can for Mr. Christie, but I wont have anything to do with anybody. Mr. CHRISTIB--I have been making now no charges against Mr. Gordon ;• he need not be so sensitive. 'To go on with my story--within the last two months I had a communication from Mr. Dodson, telling me that he had strong reasons for believing that Mr. Gordon had been intriguing against me. (Indications of surprise.) Not with reference to soy interests in this borough, but injurious to my interests elsewhere ; and I tell Mr. Gordon, (net charging him that this statement is true), but telling him that I had the corn-• munieation, and that I still have the letter.—(Loud cheers.) I tell Mr. Gordon that I will show that letter to him, and that, for the sake of my character as well as his, there shall be inquiries and explanations elsewhere. —(Loud cheers.) (A voice—" Where's the letter?") As soon as I go to London I will send that letter to a friend, who shall show it to Mr. Gordon. Mr. DonsoN—Will you allow me to show that letter from you which called that letter forth? Mr. CHRlSTlE—Certainly ; all my letters. Now, Mr. Gordon has spoken of his changed position with regard to the Liberals of Weymouth. I am sorry to say, after hearing him, that I think there is a change, and that that change has originated in himself. He has referred to the dinner at which he presided, to celebrate the re turn of Mr. Bernal and myself. Mr. Bernal then ex pressed himself in warm terms in proposing Mr. Gordon's health—as the elder Member it was his right to propose it; if it had fallen to my lot, I should have proposed it as warmly as Mr. Bernal did, and I am sure Mr. Gordon will do me the justice to acknowledge that I have ex pressed myself in private as warmly as Mr. Bernal did in public; and I say, also, that what I told Mr. Robens —that nothing should induce me to oppose Mr. Gordon —I have voluntarily stated to Mr. Gordon himself twice. I have stated the same to Mr. Dodson, and to most of my political friends; and it was only when Mr. Dodson, by his letters and by his conversation, pro duced in my mind a ccnviction that Mr. Gordon was not behaving to me as frankly and honourably as I be haved to him, and that my voluntary assurance that I would not oppose him had found a very ill return in these intrigues of his of which Mr. Dodson had in formed me—it was then ' and then only, that any change in my sentiments towards Mr. Gordon took place; and. it was the belief in what Mr. Dodson told me—for I never dreamt him to be a traitor—that led me the other day, when I came here, to abstain from calling on Mr. Gordon, who, I hear, has made it a subject of great and general complaint. It was impossible for me, with my belief of his conduct towards me—it was impossible for me, as an honest man, to profess friendship and re spect when I could not feel them. Now Mr. Dodson tells you the conversation that took place when I came down here. When I met him at Dorchester, be told me there was no necessity for my visit, that when the time came my return was a matter of certainty. I said, " If you had told me that before I came into the neighbourhood I should have been in a very different position; you never told me before not to come. I am now within eight miles of Weymouth, and will not ray conduct be open to remark if now I do not visit it?" He said, " Well, you'll take your course, and I'll take mine." Such was my regard for him, that I stated to him, even then, that if my coming here would be injurious to his private interest, I would not think of coming. —(Hear, hear.) We proceeded to discuss the matter. He talked of the incon venience of a demonstration. I said, there need be none. He suggested that I should come here on a sort of holiday visit; we parted on the understanding— (l have said so to him since I came here, and I say it here—l don't care what he says against it)—we parted. on the understanding that I was to come here on a visit, but to have no public demonstration or excitement. Well, I came here, and I immediately went to him, and now I'll give you the whole of that conversation of which he has only given you a part. Mr. Dodson has been. rlxt most confidential friend and agent.—(Mr. Dodson Agent !") Agent between me and my consti tuents; yes, all matters relating to the constituasey —all letters I've consulted Mr. Dodson on. I say, thole, he has been my agent. Perhaps he thinks I am his.. —(Great laughter.) (A voice—" But why Mr. Dod son ?") Mr. Gordon can best answer that question. As soon as I was elected he advised me to consult Mr. Dodson on all matters connected with the borough, and to be guided by his advice; and Mr. Dodson has told me since I came here that the Liberal committee, imme diately after the return of Mr. Bernal and myself, ap pointed him their agent to confer with us. That is the reason why I have always consulted Mr. Dodson. Well', he said, you have come here against my s t ron g wish and advice, and I feel myself now free to take my own course. I said, you expressed a strong wish that I should not come here in the first instance, on account of the excitement it might cause, but we parted on the understanding that I was to pay a holiday visit. He said, " No, I wished you not to come at all. You have run counter to my advice, and now I am free to take my own course." I said I cannot under stand your conduct; it looks as if you have laid a trap to quarrel with me. I asked, what is it you mean to do? and then I added (Mr. Robens has used the expression, and Mr. Dodson has used it), " Am I still your 'pa candidate?' " He said, " No." I said, " Are yost going to support me?" He said, " I may do so, and I may not ; I am free of you, and you are free of me. I reserve to myself to do what I like!' said, "Do you mean you may vote against me?" H e said, "I should be very sorry to vote against you, _bu r e t I may do so." I said, "Are you Gordon and a Tory?" He said, ".No, Tuebt. _ _ likely to vote for two m M ore . Tories."—(oh, oh.) I said, wish the can't understand what is your object. Do you persons of particular pon ying to vote borough to be representeadidbyse "No; - I never cared for tical opinions?' ht H er e ,) s I said, " I don't think you be havepolitics.”--(Laug 'Gentlemen, I have told you how I right to me. behaved. I sent the letter of Mr. Robens to him en closed is a letter, and if be produces any letters of miner I hope he'll produce that. (Mr. Dodson—" I don't in tend t o .") The letter was somewhat to this effect:-- "My dear Dodson,—With some doubt I determined to send you this letter. It has not given me the slightest uneasiness—l trust you entirely. My object in sending this letter is, that I think it most unfortunate that any Machiavelian diplornatE pro ceedings of yours should give Mr. Robens the im pression which he entertains in his letter, and the• sooner you remove that impression the better. I have heard Mr. Dodson's statement, and I now repeat belief that he is a traitor.—(Lo u d cheers.) Aye, and ye, I say this though he has promised a g ain .. to vote f or me Mr. Gordon says he n ever intended to mix himself up with any other candidate ! I see Mir. Gord on s itti n g beside him, y and it is generally believed e eved here that Mr. Dodson is Mr. Gordon's confidential friend. I warm Mr. Gordon that he will, sooner or later, pursue the same course towards him which be has pumped towards me ; and, if any belief is to be placed in Mr. Dodson's statements to me, he has no connexion at all with Mr.. Gordon—no interest whatever for Mr. Gordon. He always cared, before I came here, more for me than Mr.. Gordon. I was not to come here, because it would in jure Mr. Dodson's private interest. Since I clime hero he has told me that he would vote probably for two Tories, but that he would take the course which his own
