He had so conducted himself in Parliament as to deserve support.—( Hisses.) He had advocated the cause of the distressed seamen and free trade, aad the merchant seamen would have reason to bless his name. He bad no wish to draw invidious comparisons, but he considered no other man so fit to attend to their interests as Mr. Lyall—ona who would defend them against hollow friends and oprn enemies.— ( Hisses and groans.) Joins Dime, Esq., came forward to second the nomination, and was received with loud cries and hisses., with serne cheer ing. The last time he had the honour of addressing them from the hustings was to second the nomination of Mr. Lyall, and he had the same pleasing duty now.—(Groans and hisses ; and cries of Off, 'AC!) He was not acquainted with a more honourable man, and he well liners that teeny members of the Corporation highly esteemed him as a man who had faithfully performed his duty.--( Hear, hear. ) He had great pleasure in seconding the nomination of Mr. Lyall, and although ',lmp had interrupted him in speaking to-day, he was satisfied they would vote for his friend to Inerr°w--(Cheers and disapprobation.) :air. Alderman HARMER came forwardto propose Mr. Wm. Crawford, and was received with cheering- and hisses. The uproar lasted for a considerable time, and at length the wor thy Ald erman7gond-hurnouredly said, pointing to an individual in the e.owd, " I want to emit till that getaleman is hoarse." .-- (Continned shoutiag, hissing, and laughter) to i conse quence o f the severe indi s p es i tien o f ale. 'isennissn, the task had devolved upon hies (seld a very pleasing one it was, al though he feared that he . :hould perform the task very ill, as compared with that g.enticman), of pr o p os i ng t theca W. Crawfurd, E sq ., as a tit and nrnprr eelacen to represent th em It aOiatnent.—(Lou t cheering.) lt was unnecessary for Alin; to enter into a detail of the excellent qualification of that gentleman. It would be a useless task upon his part to eulo gise him, for his merits, were well known and Justly appre ciated by his brother electors, and therefore It would be a work of supererogation for him ( Alderman IL) to enter upon them, Chers, hisses, and uprtear. ) Mr. Crawford was a mer chant of the city of London, a body which was deservedly res pected all over the world.--( Hear, hear.) It must be a grati fication to Mr. Crawford's friends to kno, that lie ranked among' the fi rs t o f t h at distinetished class.--( Uproar and cheering, during which it was impossible to catch one or two sentences of the worthy alderman's address.) So far as Mr. Crawford's character and station as a merchant were concerned, he stood upon equal terms with thee of the other candidates, lafessrs. Ward, Lyall, and Wilson.—(Hisses, groaning, and great uproar.) These were all equally respectable as mer ehanta—in their private character he ( Aldermen H.) res- Pected and esteemed them ; but as Terke l lit their public ca pacity, he, in common with all reformers, disliked them._ Cheers and uproar.) It was because they were Tories, that he and his friends opposed them—they quarrelled not with the feelings or characters of their opponents as men, bet with their Measures the reformers were decidedly opposed.—( Cheers. ) In Mr. Crawford they beheld a true and old reformer—he was before them, he had been a pp rove d b y t h em, and they had acknowledged that he had done his duty diligently end teal. --(Applause and great u p roar .) A n d it wai upon that gr oun d that be, and th ose w h o t h oug h t w i t h him, gave their support o Mr. Crawford and th e ot h er re f ormers.—( Cheering and biases.) Many of them would recollect that only a few gala ago, it was only necessary for a man to deelate himself an ad vocate for Parliamentary Reform to be abused and discounte nanced as a leveller and revolutionist ; now bow streets-els, times were altered, for even all the Tories bad Wiled itefer 'iners.—( Laughter and cheering,) Let theta look at the ad dresses of the Tories to their Constituents all over the country, they profess to reform—tbey state that they will incpsire into abuses, and all that they discover to be real they deelara their rea diness to reiress.—( Groans and cheering.) What could they expect in the way of reform, from such men—did they not rather believe, that from their past acts they would put a atop to all reform.—( Hear, cheerin g , an d hi sses .) Had flue these Zell' men declared th at t h ey considered the Parliament whi c h "ad Countenanced rotten borough, places, pensions, and the salt of seats; the beet House of Commons they had ever had. or could have ?—( Groans and uproar.) They heti. teseealet, that that Parliament "virtually" (they had not ventured to isay " virtu ous l y ") repreezeted the p eo pl e .—( Ch eers and l aughter.) The present Ministers had told them that they were not hostile to Reform—that they would inquire into anal itri to edress , abuses, at l eas t a ll t h at t h ey considered tUeli. But was be s u p pose d t h at these men mild change their natures— tad they would see as defects and blemishes what they had So long regarded as beauties ? Applause an.) He ( Ald erman Harmer) should like to see tem p fi uroar tting the part of Reformers—it would be to them quite a new 'mmeter, and,' no doubt, they would be amusing enough. (Laughter and greet cheering.) They had already given 'to the public a east of the characters—a list of the performers was laid before them, but they had net yet been favoured with a list of the performance.—( Hear, cheers, and laughter.) He feared that they would scarcely be favoured with any good Pieces from such performers. They only wanted to amuse and, he feared, to deceive the public.--(Hear, and cheers. ) He would not detain them longer, but conclude by proposing to them W. Crawford, as a proper p erson to represent them in P arliament.—( Great uproar.) As an instance of the re action which had taken place in the public mind, he would state that Mr. Harvey and Mr. Humphery had just been returned for the Borough of Southwark.—( Tremendous cheer ing for some minutes.) Mr. J. TRAVERS then came forward, and was received with loud cheers mingled with hisses. He had great pleasure in seconding the nomination of their friend, Mr. Crawford, and he would recommend them to espouse his cause, for he be lieved him to be the same man now that he was upon his first i ntroduction to them, guided in hi s p o li t i ca l con d uct by the Same ind e p en d ence of principle,—i n his character and Station h aving the same talent, integrity, and experieuee, and heartily devoted to the interests of this great metropolis, which he IltoyuLd.( be at all ti mes prepared tq advocate with zeal and abi- Loud cheers.) At this moment, above all others, it was of the highest importance that they should send proper Members to Parliament. If they failed in making a right choice at such a time as this, they might depend upon it that all they had done hitherto was in vain,—the trouble they b ad taken i n o b ta b a i ng the Great Charter of their liberties, that bulwark of their social comforts--the Reform Bill— would be, worse than use l ess , f or the hunger of their enemies was anatpened by abstinence—(Cheers and laughter)—And they were Prepared to feed and to fatten upon the people's indus try, though it were to prove their own ruin. —(Reiterated el l e eas.) He hoped they would be awakened, at such a time as the present, to a sense of their perilous situation—perilous, because, as he hon es tl y b e li eved, the Crown itself was in dan ger by the wicked ness o f t h ose who surrounded it, and who were determined to direct their power to their own exclusive ad vantage__( Cheers) — per il ous, because, if the Tories retained their places, and the progress of the Reform Bill was stayed, the bonds of society would b e l oosene d , if not torn asunder. _ (Loud cheers.) He would implore the men of the aristocracy to consider their present position.—(Cheers, and a cry of " What do you think of that, Brown ?") He (Mr. W.) knew more of the people's wants and feelings than the aristocracy did, and he a/Quid ask them to mix themselves up with the people more than they had hitherto done. He respected the pea- Plaba intelligence end their love of order, and he admired their advocacy of liberty on all occasions.—( Cheers.) But if the aristocracy would show their sympathy for the wrongs of the !people, he would tell them that there would not be a more re spected set of men upon earth. If they would but carry on the great principles of Reform, they might lead the people in any way they liked; but if they i despised th e p eop l e , t h e peo ple would o v e rw h e l m them.—(Loud cheers, m i ng l e d w i t h hsses.) He would tell them so—that the people were deter leneiinreeddlothey carry out tho se p r i nc i p l es o f Reform which they re would do it by orderly means, for they had the time had. endearsd to them by long associations . and early ba tlts; but at the same time they were determined to repair at hc al'a parts w hi c h were worn out.—( Cheers.) There would a great struggle, no doubt, but the result of it, he thought, 'could not be doubtful, nor would it be of lone daration, but the T or i es should recollect that they had brought this cri rtas theselves, and u p on t h e i r devoted heads would be the your se Peo quenc,-( Loud chee rs an d hi sses.) He would say to ple, under any difficulty,—" Be patient, m id b e fi rm i n th at t purpose, but, if p oss ibl e , at t hi s time, avert the storm threatens you and send those men only to Parliament 40 Will study yo ur i nterests, who anderstand your wa n t s , an d Itea Will advo ca t e your rights in the Hous e o f C ommons fear tila”—(Loud ch eers .)

He would not detain ae;". 111 longer, but would conclude by recommending their friend a • Cr awford---( Cheers)—and with him he trusted they would tass°aiate such men only, as they could thoroughly depend upon but advocate their interests. He should wait with impatience, tAWith perfect confidence, for the wisdom of their decision. Alderman LUCAS came forward to propose Mr. WARD Aft Was received with mingled groans, hisses, and cheers. a eti e e r several attempts to obtain a hearing, he claimed to be heard the ground of being a liveryman more than 50 years. siti%lng the so long in this city they would not need an expo eerl33l.' of his Principles. .

He had to propose an honourable s e l f , and a g en tl eman who would scorn to pledge him an, .nunconditionally to any administration, but who would c o nsistency with the laws as they now stood. ( Hisses.) " of a ,!, 's i t . becaus e t h e Duke of Wellington had been the Saviour couatry abroEd t and supported the constitution at honte# that he was vilified ? (" No, no.") It was because he venc rated the institutions of the country, that he proposed Mr. Wilson. (Hisses.) Mr. JOHN MASTERMAN seconded the nomination, believing that he was thdreby doing a great service to the city of Lon don,"and to the country at large.—( Laughter, and cries of " Off, off." He had b een acqua i nte d with Mr. Wilson for many years, and so esteemed his private and public character, that he thought it his duty to propose him to his fellow-citi zens.----( Hisses, ) Mr. Los-n proposed Mr. Pattison, a gentleman holding the highest mercantile situation, standing upon a proud eminence as Governor of the Bank of England, a situation that he filled with undeniable honour. He was known to most of them in the private walks of life, and wherever he was known be was loved and admired for his known manly conduct ; with him there was no trimming, no shuffling, nothing courtier-like ; he was a man of honest, stedfast, and upright principles, and therefore his conduct was invariably direct and straight forward. All his interests in life were identified with theirs ; he was born among them ; he was bred a merchant, and had descended from a mercantile family of long standing and high respectability in the city.—( Cheers.) His opinions on the public questions of' the day be need not enlarge upon ; his political creed had been fully set forth in the public address he had issued, and which was in the hands of all the electors ; but this he would say for him, he was not an anti-reformer, nor the eneaty of reform and all improvement. On the other hand he was perfectly conscious hewas not a destructive. He ab horred these th a t an s ae isistna men were liable to decay, and there foreodious extremes.—( Cheers.) He ryas weli aware ." Q' required to be watched, and narrowly examined, and to be revised and amended, and aciapnani to altered times and eir n cumstances.—(Hear.) He w as an ardent L l d to the re ; vision andaniendment of our institutions, and he would prom te it with eordlalitys He tilts in the best sense of the word a reformer; not a rash and headlong man, but d dilutions, pru dent reformer, ii a word, a rational reformer.—( Cheers.) considering his liberal and enlightened views on all questions of public polity, hieminent rank in cernmercial life, his hi g h statit't hI sbniety, His well-known independent t of character, and his prudence he cordially recommended him with great satisfaction to his brother electors.—(Cheers.) He felt con vinced that they would do what they did forty years ago to his uncle, who was carried in triumph agrinst the leading interests of the day, to a seat in the India Gondasirtent ; open the shoulders of the citizens of London.—( Cheers.) What the citizens did thirty years ago for the uncle, he was sure they would now do for the nephew: They Would rally round him, they *add raise the City interest in their tavouf and earry him triumphantly' to the representation of this great city. He would detain them no longer, hut proceed at once to nominate James Pattison, Esq., Governor of the Bank of England, as a fit and proper pqrsr to represent the City o f L on d on i n Par liallient.—( Lo u d cheerg.) SAMUEL GURNEY, Esq. said he had very high satisfaction in seconding the nombsation of pewis 13oyd of James Pattis o n to represent thisUV in fete insulin; Parliament. He had high satisfaction in doing so, because in selecting from the mercantile body in the City, had the selection been left to himself, he could not have fpleeted a more suitable individual, whether froth high standing as a m erc h an t, Or hi s hi g h an d honorable character as a man of liberal sentiments, kept up by sound discretton. Therefore he had unlimited satisfaction in proposimg him to the,, meeting:—(linmense .cheering. ) He (Min na.) was not a p o lit ic i an , ot h erwise than he deiired the welfare of mankind.—(Bravo, bravo.)—There was one point on which he was pcculierly interested, and upon which his friend Janes Pattison verb- sßential)F ceineiden v,ith him jiiiiinnelit-- n meant the passing o f the Bill winch had d stroyed the iniquity of slavery from the British laws.—(lm mouse cheering.)—His friend Pattison united with him that it was a matter of serious considerati on h ow t h e opera tion t r that Mil should be put in desalt:lOn, 3fid both were of opinion that it depended upon the method into which it was put into execution, how far its full benefit was to be derived. For his own part he had no hesi tation in retahiss he waa jading Uf tit pretest that had been entered on the journals of the House of Lords by the Duke of Wellington.—( Hear, hear.) He was not an opposer of the present Administration— ho wished them well with all his heart, but he theught g after that nresteat ppon the particular which he telt interested th a t t h e p re S ent itliniftera did require close watching, and his friend Pattison was one— he would confidently say, was one who would closely watch them. He. (Mr.,G.) left othenmatters and points of po lit i cal intertll nitiolly behind hi m . Ile was not a party at an ; uttt he thought it of great importance that the representatives of the city of London should melt who would staceh the ripe ration of the tinsa:tkiN he ad enacted to, and that the people of itngland should be assured that through them those who had nobly laid down their money should be assured, not only for the sake of the people of England, but for the cause of hu manity, that value *lnlaid be het eltbtl fir that Mont? in the lane awl essential liberation of the black popu lation from bondage.—(Great cheering.) He had thought it right thus to state the ground on which he had came forward to second the normnationi He lied the g o o d fortune to b e i n ono len§e slid la§t speaker, arisc;quently ne giao of being the more welcome. He retired expressing an earnest hope that he would have the pleasure of seeing re turned as the representative of this great city his much esteemed friend James Pattison.—(Great applause.) Mr. Alderman Woof) presented himself and was loudly cheered. He courted the indulgence of the livery and his brother cleettn's only for a very few minutes. He hoped they would hear him attentively because he should be very brief, and because he had to request they would hear all the other candidates. He had heard no arguments whatever from the movers and seconders of his three opponents. He should hare been glad to have heard whether they would have talked to-day of there being four candidates before them, who were called Destructives.—( Hear, hear.) Why he thought he bad a right to be very short in what he had to say wasp that this was the ninth time he had appeared before the electors ; his conduct, therefore, must be so well known to them in every particular, both as a magistrate and a representative, it became wholly unnecessary for him to detain the meeting, especially as there were so many others to speak. At the same time, he wished to say one word on the subject on the new name and new title which his opponents had given to themselves— ( Hear, hear)—and which they subsequently wish to fasten upon Reformers. He hnd been forty years in London in a very large concern--he had been as a corporator upwards of thirty years, and very nearly all that time a Magistrate. Ile had filled several offices 1 and perhaps it would make the meeting smile when he stated he had filled a military office. He had been actually elected a field-marshal.—(La ug h ter. ) That election w as sanct i one d b y G eorge 111 ., b ut he had never spent any of the public money during.his military career. —(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He used to invite his regiment, composed sometimes of 700 or 800 met?, to breakfast with him at Highbury, but he had never put the city to any expense. As he had said, he had been nine times before them as their representative, and he would ask them if there was a man pre sent eho could say that any act of his had led to the destruc tion of public money. The offices which he had held, that of Sheriff amongst the rest, had been very expensive to him, although he had never found fault. No doubt they would re collect the extraordinary duty he had on one or more occa sions to perform. He would allude particularly to the cir cumstance of Sir F. Burdett, and afterwards, when persons rose in a body and went into the gunsmiths in the city of Lon don, and took the fire arms. They would recollect their honourable Chamberlain and himself, alone, without the aid of police, took those men into custody, and made them all pri soners.—( Hear, hear.) He was obliged in some degree to become his own trumpeter, because he believed he was outliving many of his old friends ; but he would ask any of those who remained and were present, or the three representatives in Parliament who had sat during the last Session with him, if he had ever declined to do his duty, or if ever he had given a. vote calculated to destroy the people's rights.--( Cheers.) He had endeavoured to prevent the people being taxed in the heavy manner they had been. He would continue should he be again sent into Parliament, of which he had not the slightest doubt, to continue, as he had hitherto done, to exert himself in asl their local affairs, both in Committees and in the House of Commons, and trusted he would never do anything that would fail to give the most entire satisfaction to his constituents, anx ious as he was, at all times; to live in the esteem of his Lae ther citizens. Mr. GROTE then appeared, and was received with several rounds of applause; when it ,had in some measure ceased, he said he came before them to solicit the honour of a renewal of their suffrages. He had been two years in the honourable post of their Representative, and although in that time lie had not dcne all that he wished, and still less all that he ought to have done—(Great cheering)—yet he entertained a strong hope that he had done nothing to forfeit their confidence.— (Cheers, and a few hisses, which caused other three distinct rounds of cheering.) Two years ago he had stated before them the principles he held upon political matters--the prin ciples upon which he would act if returned—and he had endeavoured to follow .up those principles as consistently as he could.--( Loud cheers.) If he should again be elected, he would accept the trust with unabated ardour, and upon the same principles —to do the very best that was in his power both to the city of London and to the country generally, and so far as he could, give them a ll th e b ene fi ts o f the Reform Cheers.) Two years ago, they had elected the first Reformed Parliament, and a most important time that was ; but that which they bad to choose on that occasion was much more important, for they were now threatened with an inter ruption to the steady and prosperous course of Reform— ( Cheers)—which two years ago seemed so encouraging. They had now a Ministry of marked and uncompromising Tories, under the guise of Conservative Reformers.—n( Great cheer ing and laughter.) They had certainly obtained permission from his Majesty to change their name and arms—still they were essentially Tories both in the bone and in the flesh. (great cheering.) They had disbanded the Parliament in the hope that the spirit which enabled the people to pass the Re form Bill was dead.--(Laughter.) Their presence on that occasion, as well as the great and numerous meetings which they had throughout the City, told him they were still the same people, and animated by the same spirit as they were found years ago, and that they would still press ;he Reform Bill to their hearts.—(Great cheering.) They had been charged with, by their agitation for the Reform of abuses, disturbing the free course of commerce, but he would ask whether the country was not in a state of greater quiescence on the 15th of November last' than it had been for some time. —(Great cheering.) He would further ask, What was the state of the Country now ? and he would tell them that there would be no end to agitation until the present Ministry was dismissed.—(Loud and long continued cheerS, whith lasted for some time. He had, and those who acted with him had also been called destruc tives, and had been charged with the intention of destroying all that was fair, sound, and beautiful in the constitution. That charge was untrue as ever charge was, they desired to preserve every thing that was good and useful. They were destructives only so far as they saw any manner in which your Excellency has pressed upon the attention of the Government at home the claims which the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this island possess upon the continued support of a Government which encouraged them, upon certain conditions, to embark in this held of labour, we know that your Excellency had been better pleased had these deep feelings of gratitude which we, as-a body, in particular experience towards ;our Excellency, had never been called forth, and that they were oral pow confined to the recesses of our grateful bosoms. " It may be permitted us, however, to say on general grant.. that we regret most exceedingly the near dissolution of a connec tion in which we have ever found it an easy task to impress upon our flocks the duty of a cheerful and hearty submission to their Governor. Yoar Excellency has made it the interest, the plea sure, the instinct of our people, to yield a ready affectionate obe dience to the representative of their Sovereign ; you have promoted their prosperity by encouraging their industry, and ensuring to them security, and on all those occasions of periodical distress which have been so lamentably common in this island, the people have invariably found that the administrator of the government held the sympathy of a father with the most distant of his family, , that the most urgent need always preferred the most successful claim to that bounty of which he was the almoner, and that the strictest impartiality has ever marked it s di s t r ib ut i on. W e feel, Sir, that it would ill become us to attempt an interference at this time with your Excellency's arrangements, or at any time with the designs of the parent Government; we cannot, however, from our locality, be insensible to the deep feeling which prevails through oat the most remote districts of the island towards your Excellency and your Excellency's administration, and we cannot suppress the avowal of our firm conviction, that if the united supplications of the thousands of oar humble docks who are scattered throughout the island, or of the respectable of other creeds by whom we are surrounded, could, even at this hour, prevail upon your E xce ll ency to rescind your r eso l u ti on , t h e united intercession of all classes of the island might yet be joined to our own fervent prayers that your Excellency would, at least, not anticipato the period at which, in the ordinary course of events, the Royal instructions would deprive us of the blessing which this island has so long experience(' from your strictly imtartial government."

The country was not to be satisfied with Sir Robert Peel's ideas of prescription—h e had said the same thing of the borough system } and he for one was not content. that the enquiry into abuse, which he con sidered necessary, should be conducted under the auspices of any but a ministry willing and determined to cor rect those abuses so pointed out; and that he would not give his voice for its being continued in the hands of men who were blind to the most dark and fright ful abuses. It was exceedingly unlikely that those men who had seen no abuse in the rotten-borough system could see abuses any where.--( Loud cheering.) Let them see Re form in the hands of a Ministry who were willing to carry it out fully, safely, and properly, and then the country would be content, and not till then. It would be insane to suppose that reform would be safe in the hands of those it was in at present. If they reformed at all it would only be to make the Reform Bill a mere nullity—( Great cheering.) He would only further say that he came forward with a sincere desire to be a simple instrument in the same cause in which he had formally fought, and with a full dispo sition to act up to his former professions, and at the same time to forward the cause of Reform by assisting at the present moment all in his power towards the removal of the present Ministers—(lmmens e cheerin g for s ome minutes)—of those Ministers whom - he regarded as the ene mies of Reform. His case was in their hands, it was for there to decide between the four gentlemen who were before them, anxious to give them all the advantages they derived from the Reform Bill, and the three other gentlemen who were their opponents and the friends of the present Government. Mr. LYALL came forward, and was greeted with loud cries, groans, and hisses, which lasted for, in fact, with scarcely any intermission, the whole time he attempted to address the elec tors. . e .. Te said his principles h a d un d ergone no change since o addressing th em two years ago : he was he ited the honej was good a n d a l ter t h at a warin :Supporter of a n : 1 e instituti ons b ot h o f Church and a : . sreat that Mr. State. He wished to defend sve...: which was b a d.—( H ere t h e uproar was s. ; Secondary Jam es was o bli ge d to come forward intreat order.)—After some time Mr. Lvall proceeded, statnia be would as far as he was able, endeavour to reform those abuses and errors which in the lapse of ages had crept into our institutions, he was in that respect a reformer. He had been asked if he was a Church Reformer? To this he replied that lee old endeavour so to distribute tho revenues of the church as to make them r erf,...Tra-the duty for which they were intended in the most efficient manner, but he would on no ac count agree to the alienation of church property. Hisses and cheers.) fle would advocate the removal of restrictions under which the Dissenters laboured, as far as regarded what they considered the conscientious discharge of their duty, but not in those things relating to the preservation of the Church. The Ministry should always have his support when doing that which was right, and he would as uniformly oppose everything wrong.--(Much confusion and uproar.) He should be happy to offer an explanation of his conduct since he had been in Parliament, but was sorry they seemed so indisposed to attend to him. In the event of his being returned as their Representative, he would always end eavour to d o hi s d uty.— . (Groans, and heers, and hisses.) Here the Simmer came forward, and desired a banner to be removed, inscribed wtth the words "Reform in Church and State," which was immediately done. Mr. CRAWFORD then came forward and was received with - lone cheers. lie came before them that day to solicit their suffrages and to solicit a cOntinuanee of th teonfidenee which they had placed in him as one of the;r representatives in Parliament; he did so upon precisely the same principles, and with preeleely the eame views as he did eighteen months ago, when he was honoured With their suffrages.—( Cheers.) At that time, just at the close of the first session of the Reformed Parliament, he did believe that the great question connected with the political and internal state of the country wes set at rest, and he could not have believed that the time would so soon come when agitation would be created through the land by an attempt egain to set up a Tory Ad : munetrafionese(lsoud cheering) But that time ha' arrived, and unused as lie had been to take any very active part in political life, and little expecting to be placed in the prominent situation, and to such an extent as was now Wale! him—( Hear, bear, hear.) Yet he thought and hoped that lie it vitae], to the position in which he was placed, and he trusted that the electors would see in him, under all circumsta nces , an d at - a ll t i mes, a zea l ous and wthing supporter of the principles of the Reform Bill.— ( Loud cheers.) The Reform Bill was nothing in itself— it Wall only as a means of o bt a ini ng goo d. Th e means were In the powet tile people. and they were called together to see if any change had " taken* place in their sentiments, as had been said by some people, but which he (Mr. C. ) was sure was without foundation.—( Cheers.) Much bad ;seen retie to influence the present electors with respect to the elereise of the Kings' prerogative. He hoped and believed his Majesty had no; a more loyal man in his dom;nions than himself.—(Hear, hear.) He re spected te it dis prerogativetrottl,oyexercised as much his a prerogative s any ma changing his Mimsteti b i , *lnch he could do at any time, but there the Kine's prerogative terminated, If he (Me. C.) , in and understood theConstitution—(Loudcheers)—for if the King's prerogative igrii rtf o was carriedpi Cheers.) iota .T further, tof the p where were re s the e o ft Ministers had halt d dissolve the Parliament, with a view, no doubt, of colletitite another Parliament more subservient to its principles and its views, but he be lieved the Ministry who had so decides: new little of the feelings of the p eo pl e , an d h e b e li eved that the ;Minister of the day had be e n ill a d v i se d f rom that great city.— Cheers and great uproar.) That he had been so advised was beyond all doubt, or else why was the glove throwredown last Saturday week when a meeting was called for th e p u r pose of finding out Tory m e n t o represent the City in the House of Comiliens I The challenge had been made—the electors were to decide the battle—and of the manner in which they would decide it he had no doubt. (Immense cheer ing.) Every voter connected with the City, and who eSeitlied Well to the pfesperity of his countryl joined him expecting that result. He wrs not unmindful, and he spoke now from the authority of the Times newspaper only. of the address of one of his honourable opponents, which had certainly made a deep impression ea his mind at the time he read it. The gentleman of whom he spoke he ,should always allude to with feeling§ of gloat feSpeet.--lie meant Mr. Wil son--( Cheers.) That gentleman had stated it the needing to which all were admitted who signed the address-- (laughter, hisses, and groans)—that they had plenty of ammunition, and plenty of powder and shot.--( Laughter, and Cries of " Oh. oh. Mr. Wilson I") That was, no doubt, a most important material fa iftlf; end ems that would give great aid, but he could tell them that • the Reform candidates had no such resources —_their unanimous. —(Great hopes and cheering.)expeetations were He li t the n o f t eeli o n n g e s being g those who p ro f esse d in any extreme line of political feeling, but he had.long felt that a reform in the representation of the people Ives necessary. for the prosperity of the eolintry. The people bee lidgot that Reform, and with it he entertained no clout they would get those improvements and reforms in church which were so much called for.—(Cheers.) Lo these improvements and refornit he alhotild ccillingly letid to as great an extent as would not in his humble j u d gment injure the edii stitution as was now by law established in King, Lords, and Commons. He svovld not detain them longer, but would thank ' them for the attention with which they heard him, and lie could assure them that he had said nothing but what had pi;oceeded from his heart. The li o n. Ge n tle m a n t h en retiree affild§t loud cheering, mingled with hisses from the Tory party. W. WARD, Esq.,' then came forward, and was received with mingled cheers and hisses. He said that he did not now present himself to them for the first time—he had been already actively engaged in their service, and he was not conscious of any act of his by which he had forfeited their confidence or disgraced himself..—( Cheers and uproar.) When be had first Nene before them, it had been enough for his ambition to act in accordance with the Con . stitution then in existence. lie did not pretend to be a Corti stitution marker.—(Cheers and hisses.) They hed a eons stieution which was enough foe all geed purposes, if they but acted wisely under its influence.—( Groans, and cries of it's in a decline.") But when he found that his found that his adversaries had expressed themselves in terms that had hitherto been unknown—when he found that instead 'of allowing gentlemen who enteitained a different opinion in politic.—to use the usualmeant of giving expressien to thei. sentiments, they had attempted to put them down by clamour. When he found that they hod thought proper to introduce the King's name in terms disparaging to the character of the head of the empire, he had felt it his duty to -come forward and introduce himself to their notice, and enter hit piiotest against such conduct.--(Groans and hisses.) He had heard with the greatest satisfaction, the Honourable Gentleman who had preceded him, express his determination to uphold the institutions of the country and he had declared that he would be satisfied to live under the iufluence of King, Lords, and Commons. He (Mr. W.) regretted that he did not hear those sentiments sooner, because he had heard sentiments of a very different character, that he had felt it his duty to offer himself to their notice.---( Groans and hissing.) They had lately heard of persons coming forward to suggest alterations in the Bill. They had heard of these extraor dinary persons, who were become Reformers of the Reform trice.--( Uproar and much &approbation.) If, instead of those persons, men who advocated moderate politics had come formard, he (Mr. W.) should not have at tempted to disturb them. T. ( Uproar.) but having the right of expressing his own feelings and opinions, he should never hesitate in giving expression to his loyalty to his Sovereign ; and the last thing which he should yield to was intimidation.—(Great uproar.) They should not intimidate him—( Cheers and uproar.) He hoped he should not be misunderstood—he would never come forward to give expression to one thing while he meant another like a wolf in sheep's clothing. He therefore did avow his firm confidence in the present Government, and his determi nation to uphold that Goverument, nor should he accept a vote from any individual except on these conditions_( Cheers, and great disapprobation.) Ia doing this, he was but acting in accordance with the sentiments he always expressed—( Groans) He had come there to meet them face to face—it was his de termination to do so on all occasions, and to speak his mind as freely as they did. Much had been said about the address that had lately been pre sented to his Majesty.—(Great uproar, and hootings.) He boldly avowed that he took an active part in preparing that address; he shared its responsibility, and he was proud of the part lie had taken in it. He would conclude by avow ing his determination to uphold its spirit, so help him God.-- (Cheers, and great uproar.) Mr. WILSON then came forward, and was received with groa ns and hisses, mingled with cheers frOm the Tory party. He %as, an old servant of the public, and an old soldi er , lik e Alderman W eed. therefore h e came before them fearlessly, and all he ask ed for was fair play, for fair play was a jewel. They had patiently heard every man expressing liberal sentiments on the other side, and all he asked was that himself and friends should be listened to in returt. It had been attested by an Hon. Gentleman who had preceded him, the system of reform would not go on fairly and honestly in the hands of the Tories. If they called him a Tory they did him injustice, because, although he was more a Tory than a Whig he was ready to put down all national abuses wherein they existed. (Groans, and cries of " What are you then ?") He had been placed in an unfair situation by the Honourable Gen tleman who had spoken last, because in a late speech he madeihe had said that the Tories had come late into the field that their enemies had occupied the camp, but that he had plenty of powder and shot. The hon. gentleman must ha ve k nown very well what he (Mr. W.) meant by that. What he meant was, that they had a great many friends as well as the other party, and that they had a good subscription -list. That was what he (Mr. W.) meant by ammunition. Neither he, or any of his friend expected to fight them in any other way than that. With respect to the question of whether Ministers would carry measures of Reform or not, he was satisfied that they would adhere to their declarations, for they were too honest to say what they did not mean.---( Disapprobation. ) With respect to what had been said of the minister having used his prerogative unwisely, he recommending the dissolution of Parliament, they should recollect that when the reform ministry came into power, they had done the very same thing and therefore the present Administration had only done what the Reformers had set them an example of doing.—( Cheers and uproar.) He thought that the late Administration had been broken up of itself, the best man of that Ad ministration had retired from it.---(Hoar, hear.) Earl Grey admitted that he could not eontroul the county and what was left of it was tenfold weaker._(Hear and hisses.) lie had come forward as an honest citizen to solicit their suffrages in his favour and in that of his friends If they returned him he would do his duty to the utmost of his power to correct all those ,abuses which came fairly berate them ; but, to use a vulgrr expression, he was net prepared to go " the whole hog."--( Cheers and groae:.7'• ) Mr, pare see came forward, and was received with tre mendous cheering. He begged to express his gratitude for the warm feeling wi.:;:h had just been exhibited is his favour. He wished sincerely. that:. e contest for that city had been prevented. But it had been seo that a re-action in favour of Toryism was abroad, and on the sZength of that assertion three Tory candidates had started ; but he w.:.! bound to say that if the Tories had accompanied_ him, (M r . C...!? to the various meetings a t w hi c h he had been present, they would be convinced that no re-action had taken place in the country, but, on the contrary, the greatest enthu siasm prevailed in the cause of Reform.---( Cheers.) He stood before them as a determined and unflinching Reformer —deter mined to effect those rearms wliicht be n:cesssay in Church and State ; so far as .his vote and interest would go.—(Loud cheers.) He should always support those measures which were likely to stop every sort of abuse. He feared that on the present occasion there was some hidden adviser of the Throne who had misled the Monarch He had proved himself a patriotic and constitutional monarch, for without him they never would have obtained the Reform Bill. No man in the realm felt more than himself on the subjec of loyalty, but he was convinced thathis Majesty had been misled men who had opposed that great bill of rights, the Reform Bill, with all their power : but was it to be supposed that in the course of four years, they should have forgotten all their In a short time the new Government would be convinced and that he would soon see the error be had committed.-- (Hear. ) They had been called upon to put confidence in that reform was the byeword throughout the realm, and so would continue to the end of time.--(Great cheering.) As 21 speeches had already been delivered to them from that place, he would merely request their attention to the address which he had put forward. By that ad dress he was determined to abide, and in additon he unhesitatingly declared himself a friene of triennial Parliament, and likewise vote by ballot.--Loud cheers.( These were not opinions which he had formed yesterday.-- They were of some years standing. There was nothing sew in them to him, and therefore he was no new convert to to such doctrines. He would now conclude that the cause was theirs. It was the cause of the country, he left it in their hands, and he was confident it would be triumphant. —( Great cheering.) Mr. MICIIAEL SCALES wished to ask the electors a few questions.—(Cries of hear, and off, oft) They had per formed their duty to-day , as Reformers, but there was some thing more for them to do, namely, to go to the poll to-morrow in a body, and present a bold front. The question was a short one: Would they have their own representatives, .or the nominees of the new Ministers ?—( Hear, hear.) They had before them four men, and it only required them to be ffrm, determined, and they would achieve a triumph which would frighten, all the foeS of Reform. If they had a victory in London, there would be victories all over the country. Let them lay aside all differences on the present occasion. Let them forget the acts of the late Ministers, and on no account let anything disunite them.--( Hear, anderies of " Question.") He would not detain them longer --(Cheers.) Mr. Secondary Jamas then proceeded to call out the names for the show of hands, when there appeared—e. For Mr. Alderman Wood All For. Mr. Grote For Mr. Lyall about lOO For Mr. Crawford All For Mr. Ward about •• For Mr. Wilson about Por Mr. Pattison a._ (Loud chee ri n g and wavi ng o f h ats f o ll owed the announce - • ment of the last name.) Mare fallen up on M essrs . The election was d ec l are d Wood, Grote, Crawfcitel, anti Pattison, dst loud cheering. A poll was demand e d on th e par t , of Messrs. ss••rd , *as , and Lynn. (Uproar.) A poll was also demanded On behalf of Messrs. Wood,Oroti, Crawford, and Pattison. D. W. HARVEY, Esq., Y. P. for Southwark, was then called for, having just arrived at the hustings; and on his coming forward was most loudly and enthusiastically cheered. He said that he had come forward to propose that which every man in the hall, he was sure, would most readily and cheerfully second--a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs, for their pre-eminent impartiality upon the present occasion. In doing gO, perhaps he might be pardoned for a few mo ment's intrusion on the time of the meeting.—( Cheers.) It was now upwards of twenty years since he, as a citizen, of London appeared in that Hall as the advocate of a cause which tat that time was subject to every species of malignant n me ision--of that cause of which that period might be con sidered the :Jew' timen but the present was the glorious harvest.—(Great cheering.) He was one of the only two Members returned ,to the present Parliament, and who had accepted his M a j esty ' s i nvitat i on to meet his servants at Westminster to deliberate upon the present critical condition of the country—( Great cheering.) It had been /natified into the Royal ear that there had been a re-action in the public. fiiltid Unfavourable to the cause of Reform— (Loud cries of " No, no.") The Borovgh of South wark bad responded to the call of his Majesty, and had foterned two staunch and tried friends of the people, and their exa mple he Peteted would inspire the citizens of London and the country at large let follow their example, being confident if they did so, their efforts would be crowned with complete success. The pries were the men who in past times had introduced into the niSitit4tiVOS of the country those intolerant nuisances and grievances which it wit the design and purpose, are], with God's grace, the determination of the people to remove.--(i.2:cers.) Gentlemen were asked to give credit to the present Ministers, as adredifeti of Reform. If they were true and honest Re formers, why this appefil te , the nation ?--( Cheers.) It had ' been said that the devil could 40610 Scripture to answer his own purpose —so could Tories write and speali of Reform to further their own cads--(Laughter And cheers)--tint the people of Engiatid Could ilisgern the delusien and despise the attempt.—( Great applatige.) The meeting, had betel addressed by men of clear hands, and who well kneff the thelins required to be adopted for the in terests of the country, and if itattld ill become him to say a word calculated to lessen the eeeet a those elaborate addresses; therefore he would only say, use he had beheld in that tremendous crowd of people a bßiin#r Ipscriffed " Church and State." Save the State by timely reform—save the Millen, l's stripping it of its earthly pollu tions, and inspire it with the peFlallteis tenets of genuine Christianity.—( Immense cheering.) The officer then declared the meeting to be adjourned, and the polling to commence to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. 'The irilnlenae crowd then quietly dispersed at half-past 3.

" Sir—lt is not within the recollection of those amongst as who have exercised their ministry longest in this island, that the Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this island havo ever come forward before, as a body, to present any ad dress to the person who was administering the government of this colony.
