SECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, Seven v'Clock GENERAL ELECTION GENERAL ELECTION MEETINGS Concluded from our First Edition. - THE CIT E Mr. Ahlerman Woon's speech conflate'', than himself, he would at that moment gitc Up his seat —(Loud cheers.) For he never would hold his seat one how* beyond his having fulfilled his duty, and let but the rria'Mrity of such a meeting as was now present, tell him that he had not &rise biki duty and he would instantly resign.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WA ITHM AN came forwahl amidst loud cheers. He had frequently, from their tnistings, requested the electors to give their attention to every individual who wished to address them, and he regretttd exceedingly the interruption's given to one or two Gentlemen. It would be idle for him to go into a history of his past life. lie hlsd been before the public forty years, twenty of which passed away before he Co.',- ternplated receiving any honn`ar that was in the r,•ll`c of the electors, and therefore ise could have no motfrv'e for the course he then pursued. boring that petrod, he would defy any one to put t finger on any part of his public conduc., and accuse him of having forfeited their confidence by any neglect of his duty, 'The electors had now the opportu nity of exercising a new right, and it was for them to allow in what manner they would use it. They had thanked the Government for the Reform Bill, and it re rattited for them to say whether they would offird isis Maje.ty's Government the nece-nary support to enable them to.give effect to that Bill. —(Cheers.) lie was not one to put a blind confidence in any Government. On the contrary, he coerceived it the duty of a Member of Parliament to act independently of any Governlnent, and protect the rights and privileges of his fellow , tilizens. With regard to himself, he had made no exertions to secure his re-election, though he was aware that ponce other candidates had. He had not asked for a single vote, because he considered that he could not show snort respect towards the electors hf London, than by leaving it to their quiet and calm consideration as to how they should give their votes, without being influenced by any one. —He would not more particularly allude to what had been said at other places; but he regretted that any thing should have been started to divide the friends of Reform, and also to set them at war with each other when they had no enemy in the field to combat.— (Cheers.) He only now begged to state that, although he had not canvassed them, if they thought him entitled to a 'Nati. nuance of their confidence, he begged they would use in creased exertions at the poll on his behalf.—(Cheers.) Sir JOHN KEY came forward amidst loud cheering. He appeared before them with feelings of the deepest gratitude for kindness which he had received since he had become a can didate to represent them in the first Reformed Parliament. No individual felt more deeply than himself the responsi bility which devolved on individuals who were called upon to represent the Parliament, but the conviction that he had no personal gratification to aspire to, no private object to gain, and his determination in every station to which he might be called, to support their rights and privileges, and to advocate those principles of liberty, freedom, and independence, by the success of which alone the county could be relieved from the distresses in which it had so long been placed; and it was that conviction that led him to throw himself on the electors in full confidence of their support.---(Cheers.) It was the prosperity and the independence of the people alone that he desired to secure ; and if, through their means, he should be returned to Parliament, he should feel that he was sent there, nut to represent his own interests—not to represent any party or body of men, but the interests of the whole B. itisli people—(Cheers). They were called on to exer cise a great and important privilege which many of them now, Mr the first time, possessed, of returning represen tatives, who might fairly be said to represent the people, those representatives who might have it in their power either to proatote the increase or the decrease of taxation, according to their own views and prin ciples, and on whose conduct, as legislators, depend, ed the future happiness and prosperity of the country,—(Cheers) Those who would have to support those institutions under which, even in bad times, this country had flourished, and either to strengthen them and reform them, or by not reforming them, to suffer them to fall into decay ant disuse. (Cheers.) He sought not to destroy the institu tions of the country, but as expressed by Earl Grey, he sought by reforming them, to adopt the only means by which they could be strengthened, and their continuance secured to pos terity.—(Loud cheers.) The eyes of the country were now on the electors of London : they had on all occasions in which l'utelic principle, or the liberties of the country, were concerned, nobly stood forward with a determina tion, z al and an energy which proved them to be pa triots, and conferred an honour on•themselves, and a last ing benefit on their country. (Cheers.) He called on them now to prose true to themselves, true to the prin ciples they professed, and worthy of the victory they had achieved, and the privileges which they had recovered. (Loud cheers.) He asked them, would they suffer a return to that lavish and wanton expenditure, and that misgovernment, which, in times past, had prevailed under the domination of an oligarchy, which had nearly brought about the ruin of our merchants and traders, and produced the greatest misery to the intelligent mechanics, and to all the honest and indus. trious classes.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet concluded by stating that he should rely on their support, and added that he had nothing to do with the course pursued by any other candidate, and that he should coalesce with no one.—;Cheers.) Mr, Alderman SCALES was received with great uproar. lie had longed for this day as a girl of 17 longed for her sweet heart, and he knew that the time never would arrive when he should be afraid of meeting the electors. He had been accused of coalescing, but he declared that he had only coalesed with the electors. He offered himself, independently of all fac tions, he would not be the nominee of any corporation or any faction, but solely the representatives of the citizens of Lon don.—(Great uproar.) His conduct and his principles were before them; to those principles, and those pledges, he should adhere in Parliament, for to that plain, he should most assuredly go, unless the promise made to him should be forf it d.—(A laugh.) He pledged his word and honour that he firmly believed he should go there at the head of the poll.—(Laughter.) But no matter, the bottom would do as well, if it was their pleasure ; at all events, he would go there an independent member, and not by cor poration influence. Ile pledged himself to redress their wrongs, to advocate their opinions, and either to mend the corporation or end it, and every corporation in the kingdom.—(A laugh.) He was not afraid to attack corporations; he knew that many persons looked to the good things in them, but they must learn, as he had done, to do without them. Any person who went into the House of Commons, and did not abolish the taxes, would be of no service, for the abolition of taxes alone could benefit the country. The taxes on all the necessaries of life should be removed from the labouring class, and put on such men as the Dukes of Bedford or Devonshire. He had lived by the labour of that class, and he would do all he could to relieve them. He only asked their suffrages for one year, for he declared that he would not be elected for three years, and he pledged him self to resign at the end of the year. After some further ob servations, which could not be heard from the uproar that pre vailed, the Worthy Alderman thanked the electors, and retired. Mr. GROTE came forward amidst loud cheers. If at the numerous partial meetings which he had already attended in various parts of the city, he had felt any diffidence, how much snore must he feel on finding himself at last in the presence of a full constituency? Encouraged, as he had been, by the kind welcome with which his name had been received, he felt his heart elevated when he approached them to fender his services 'as their representative in the first Reformed Parliament. — (Cheer.) He was a new and untried man, and he came before them as a Legislator in an improved era—as the offspring, the progeny of the Reform Bill, and as the champion of that great measure, which he believed to be a measure of help, of salva tion, and of reserue, if ever there was one in the history of the history of mankind.—Continued cheers.) A share fepre sentation had been a phenomenon in the history of this countfy, but there was now a real representation, the vendors of which were the " elite " of all classes. He had recognized the great evils under which the country had so long groaned, in the wasteful expenditure of the national wealth ; and he now sought to turn the current of extrovagance away, and to substitute such a frugal expenditure as would satisfy the wants of an oppressed and impoverisher naton.—(Cheers.) He sought for a righteous education anti for an improved legislation in every department of the state.—(Cheers.) At the meetings which he had attempted in various parts of the city, he had stated explicitly th'.., measures which he intended press on the Reformed Parliament. And he had published an ad vertisement, in which he had stated what he regarded as the political desiderata. But he would not trouble the meeting now with reading it. They would also think it was unneces sary for him to state that he regarded the ballot and triennial Parliament, as the first wants of the nation, and that lie condemned the present system of tithes and corn laws, He would merely state that alle he had advocated at those meetings, and all that he had recorded in that advertisement, were his own sincere conclusions, at a time when he could not have hoped to see so long an audience approve of, and take them up.—(Cheers.) In a Reformed Parliament his wish would be to carry them through without diminution, yet with all the prudence and caution which their importance demanded. He had endeavoured at all those meetings to be as frank and explicit as possible, for he thought that the man who spoke plainly befje lie was chosen, would act faith fully aftermards —(Cheers.) He now committed his ease to their judgment, fully trusting that they would do justice by all the candidates, and choose those best fitted to promote both the national welfare in general, and the prosperity of the city of London in particular. Mr. LYALL cam but such was the yelling througliout, A tlOVVe r . was speaking, that ...yi k Le could ~listi \ tr4, - AssEt is by those just be sidehip6.-7::',l4AdfirinKbi:,;=l,,, to their notice, re present e -- , great..

'f'`•-_..:'-- than ht was lie 'fid been invited to represent the city by a 'respectable body of the merchants and traders, and "al' it mercantile man, he offered himself to their mitt& and if they thought him a fit and propef person to be sent to Parliament, k thoUl4 be his earnest and anxious wish to pronto* the cohnnercial interests of t the country in Al theiti• various, ektetigiVe, and 6nrnplicated itlatilcrs..—(theerg.) With res'Oct. to the various sub ¶Pcts `connected foreign and domestic policy, 'Which Mon i.Wessarily press themselves on the new I k s atrritffilent, he pledged himself to bestoW grek atten bon on them, when he shoUld h in possession of sufficient information to enable bun 1 . 6 form a proper judg ment en them. The S'ilibjeclt `r,l taxation was intimately con nected With the CM ,I / 2 Mercial prosperity, and he would repeat what he hile-fien said before, that he would be anxious to rern:le all those taxes which pressed heavily on the labouring classes, and on the productive industry of the country; and if, after every practicable retrenchment consistent with good faith and the psublie service had been made, ii Was necessary that Sdnie substitute should be Made, he Would etipptiti such a substitute as would be less injurious td the labouring classes. As to pledges and pro miseS, he hnew well how little they were regarded. But if he were elected, he would act conscientiously to the best of his abilities. Mr. Sheriff HUMPHREY inqnired if any other candidate was to he proposed, and no one answering, the six candi dates were proposed to the meeting. The show of hands for Mr. Grote, Sir John Key, and Aldermen Waithman and Wood, was immense, particularly for the two former, but very kw were held up for Aldernian Scales and Mr. Lyall. The Sheriffs deelated the election to have fallen on George Grote, Esq., Sir J. Key, Bart., R, Waithman, Esq., and M. Wood, Esq. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Lyall and Mr. Alder man Scales, and the Sheriff's appointed the polling to take place on Monday morning, to be continued for two days. The Court of Hustings was then adjourned. MARYLEBONE. Alter a few more remarks from Mr. Murphy, the other three candidates, Sir Wm. Horne, Mr. Portman, and Colonel Jones, severally attempted to address the meeting, but in consequence of the noise made by the crowd, none of their sentiments could be heard. The names of the cendidates were then put to a show of hands, when the choice fell upon Mr. Murphy and Sir Samuel Whalley. A Poll was demanded on behalf of the other candidates, which was ordered to commence on Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Murphy and Sir Samuel Whalley returned thanks, and the thanks of the meeting hav ing been voted to Sir Peter Laurie, the Returning-officer, the meeting was adjourned till Monday- FINSB UR Y. Mr. BISCHOFF proposed Charles Babbage, of Dorset Street, Manchester Square, as a fit and proper person to r. present in P .rliament the Borough of Finsbury. This was the fit at time the electors of this Borough had had the opportunity of exercising an elective franchise, and for which they were indebted to our present ministers—(cries of nn, no, to the people). Could any one heir the name of Grey without adoration, or that of Brougham, proba bly the first man who had ever existed. It was the duty of the electors to send into Parliament, in answer to the call of the Reform Bill and of ministers, liberal and able men ; and one more so could not be returned than Mr. Babbage. He was of pure and excellent political principles, and an unflinching reformer (cries of why don't he pledge himself then). He would watch over the public purse, and take care that our money was not lavishly expended. He was a decided opponent also to the corn laws. He had likewise invented a machine for calculation.—(Loud laughter, and cries of nonsense, nonsense). He was a gentle. man, moreover, of the greatest literary attainments, and would be an ornament in Parliament. Mr. MARTIN seconded the nomination in a short but empha tic speech. Mr. THOMAS WILSON then came forward to nominate Christopher Temple, Esq. Mr. Wilson was an old in habitant of Islington, and felt proud that the elective franchise had been now given to the poor, and it was of the utmost int portance to send in able and honest men. Mr. Temple was of decidedly liberal principles, and was determined that every re. trenchment in Church and State should take place. Mr. THOMAS CHALLICE seconded the nomination. Mr. Temple was opposed to all monopoly, and a friend to vote by ballot. (Cries of how long has he been so ?) Ever since he had seen that corruption stalked abroad he had come to a determination that those steps ought to be taken which would secure to the people their rights in the only way in which it seemed possible now to have those rights secured. Mr. S. C. WHITBREAD came forward as a simple elector to propose the Rt. Hon. Robert Grant as a fit and proper per son to represent this Boro' in Parliament (Mr. Grant's name was received with loud hissings from almost all parts of the multi_ tude.) Mr Whitbread did not know why the name of the Rt. Hon. Gentleman should be received with such expressions of disapprobation. (Cries of because he is a pensioner,)—he was no pensioner—(Cries of his family are pensioners.) He had been a long and faithful servant to the public ; and his coining forward to offer himself for Finsbury the electors ought t consider as a great compliment to them. Mr. RUSTELL seconded this nomination. He con sidered it would be a disgrace to the electors not to return Mr. Grant.—(Laud hisses.) Mr. NICHOLSON next came forward to propose Mr. Se rgeant Spankie as a fit and proper person. Ile was a gentle tnan who had been an advocate of civil and religious principles ever since he had been a man. He lived among the electors, and was a practical man. He was a candidate who was sure to have the approbation of the greater number of per. sons present (cries of no, no, and great hissings). He was a man highly calculated to support reform, and he had been greatly instrumental in obtaining the extensive reform which had been granted to the electors (no, no, no). He (Mr. N.) would not take up more time than to assure the electors that Mr. Sergeant Spankie was the most likely man to serve them (great confusion, and cries of no, no, enough, enough). Mr. R. BELL seconded the nomination. Mr. ROGERS had left a sick room for the purpose of dis charging a duty, and that was to come forward to put in nomi nation Thomas Wakley, Esq. of Greenford Hall, as a proper person to be returned to serve in Parliament. Much had been said about gratitude to ministers. It was immaterial whether the Bill had been obtained through the exertions of the Ministers, or of the people themselves.--(Loud cheers ) It was the duty of the electors to. work out the Bill, now tl at they had got it—to consider it only as a means to an end. It was for them now to work for themselves. Had the candidates who had already been proposed pledged themselves ?—( Hear, hear.) The electors ought to have the written signatures of the candidates upon ques tiones which most vitally concerned the public. He had the honour to support Mr. Wakley, because he had pledged himself to various points of great importance. He had affixed his name to them, and done it willingly. Ile was a most able and honest man, well known to the great moss of electors, anti highly deserving of the support of the electors.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. H. SMITH came for•vard with great satisfaction to second this nomination. He hoped that Mr. WAKLEY would receive universal support.—(Cries of " He will, he will.") A little exertion would return him, and he hoped that that exertion would not be wanting. The candidates having now been put in nomination, Mr. Babbage came forward to address the meeting. The ground on which he had to offer himself to the suffrages of the electors, was his having examined all the minufac tories of the country, and his feeling it to be the great object of the members of the next Parliament to see that the manufacturing interests of the people were immediately attended to. Again it would be his duty, if he were sent to parliament, to exert himself in the retrenchment of all la vish expenditure. Taxes ought tobe lessened,tithes ought to be abolished. On the subject of Church Reform he was also a large Reformer. Slavery also he detested, and he held it ne cessary to be abolished when it was possibly consistent with their safety. On the subject of the corn laws, connected as it was with the manufacturing interests, he felt deeply inter. ested. The corn laws would ever have his earnest attention, and he trusted that soon they would be abolished. As to tri ennial Parliaments, he held that the Septennial Parliaments were unjust, and that they should be repealed. On the subject of the ballot he was a strong advocate for it. He likewise would advocate the diffusion of knowledge throughout all countries. Mr. TEMPLE was the next to address the meeting. He offered himself to the acceptance of the electors as a sincere Reformer, as no doubt all candidates throughout the country would this day. His feeling and sentiments had been fully stated over and over• again, and he would therefore not detain those present very long in repeating what had been so often stated. The Learned candi. date then proceeded briefly through some of the details which he considered mainly interested the electors. He was a friend to the reduction of taxes, vote by ballot, free trade, and abolition of slavery. Ile hoped to have the support of the electors, and for that he would feel greatly obliged. The Right Hon. ROBERT GRANT now ►ppeared. It was some time before he could obtain a hearing. The following paper was handed up to him " EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND SUBJECTS OF KING WILLIAM THE FOURTH IN SLAVERY! " TO ELECTORS. ' " The following question is recommended to be put to every Parliamentary candidate, upon the subject of British Colonial Slavery : " In the event of your becoming a Member of the next Parliament, will you vote for and strenuously support measures for the immediate and entire abolition of Colonial Slavery ? " By the immediate abolition of slavery is understood the substitution of judicial for the private and irresponsible autho rity now exercised by the master, securing to the slave an equality of all civil, political, and religious rights with the free. born-subjects of Great Britain." He hoped that at all events be might obtain a hearing. He declared he nor any of his family bad ever received a of pension in tbtir b electors ilfignt 'reject him, but if they diq so - , it Ought to lie UPO'n true ground's. As to the office he herd of 'Co6miss l atier with which he hid been tau9ited 'of receiving 1,2061. a year from it, or having :eCeiVed it, he denied most positively that he Ind either received the 1,2001 or had the slightest expectation of receiving it. He received not one farthing more foi office than what a poPUlar Committee considered him entitled te, it being one-third less than his predecessors in the same ogee had always received. He would not enter into the details of the 13 names he saw posted up before him, implying, no doubt, that they were relations of his, and upon the Pension List. There was only one of them (his own brother) to whom he stood in the slightest relationship, and he had received one third less than his predecessors. With respeet, to the other names (and particularly five imMes of ladies) he knew nothing Whatever. He had never examined into who they were.— KCries iif you ought to have done so.) He would now do so, and without much delay.—(Hear, hear.) Turning from this subject, what was it that Ministers had done ? No doubt it was the people who had carried the Bill—(Cheers) —but the ministers had been their faithful servants, and surely when they had done all in their power, and so winch, the people would not now turn round for the purpose of removing Minis ter.s--persons who had laboured for the people to the utmost ex. tent that any set of men could possibly do. His past conduct was to be taken as a pledge for his future. He had accepted office, and for the first time in his life, under Lord Grey's adminis tration, and it was only under a written declaration that a free and efficient measure of Reform should be brought forward, for such a measure only was calculated to satisfy the people with Reform.—(Cheers, and cries of " Oft; off") No doubt, it was not to be expected that the electors were to return a Minister—they were to exercise their discretion, and send into Parliament those men of the purest and most able talent. —(A cry, " Wakley then is the man,"—much laughter.) .The Right Hon. Gentleman entered into a detail of what the electors considered past conduct, which produced much disapprobation and confusion. (There were loud cries set up of let's hear some thing about your future conduct—we know what your past is). He would leave the election in the hands of those to whom the Bill had placed it. If they elected him, he hoped his past conduct would be a guarantee for the future--if they rejected him, he trusted it would be upon true grounds, and not upon those of falsehood and calumny. Mr. Sergeant SPA NK IE was received with hisses inter mixed with a few cheers. He had been for the last 30 years an advocate of liberty and freedom. With re gard to pledges, God forbid that he should fetter and pledge his understanding which had been given to him to be exercised on all occasions upon the last consideration of al, different subjects submitted to him ; as to being pledged, therefore, pledged lie would not be.— (Cheers and great confusion.) As regarded the assessed taxes, however, he regretted to see that the Nobility and gentry were so light), loaded with them, compared with the measure of impost upon the lower climes of society, and without Wedging himself, he declared his intention not to support such a system. As to triennial Parliaments it might be that, it would have to come to that, but at pre sent it w•s too early to talk of altering the dura tion oft the Parliament.—(Great disapprobation.) It was a subject of great importance, and very likely to lead to a controversy of opinion. As to Church Reform, he was a strong advocate for it. (Cries of what do you think of tea ?) He would prefer a glass of brandy and water to a cup of tea, but at the same time, when the subject of cheap tea came to be considered, he would give it all the at tention he could. (A cry of What do you think of the Bishops in the House of Lords ?) He was sorry to see them there, a place where they ought never to have been, and never to be. He hoped to be elected as their representative. Mr. WAKLEY was loudly and long cheered. Whatever the Bill had done, it ought to have given five members for Finsbury, because all who had preceded him had expressed themselves as full of confidence, that they would prove efficient representatives, —though not one of them had come forward upon direct pledges.—(Cheers.)— He (Mr. W.,) had pledged himself, and he had done so for two reasons, first as a proof of his sincerity,and next, that the electors might not be deceived if they re turned him to Parliament. He desired to make a few observations on the subject of pledges. Was it the desire of the electors that the taxes ought to be reduced ? (Cries of " Yes, yes.) Was it their wish that slavery should be extinguished ?—(Yes, yes.) Was it their wish that the corn laws ought to be abolished ?—(Yes, yes.) Was it their the franchise should be extended?—( Yes.) Then why should they think of sending in a man to represent them in Parliament who was not of the same opinion; and if the candidate for their suffrages was of their opinion, why should he, refuse to pledge himself. It was easy to make speeches, whether legal or mechanical, but it was not easy to stand up in the House of Commons and stem the torrent of corruption. The way of getting individuals to come for ward for that purpose was to get men who would pledge themselves—(Hear, hear)—and the choice was now in et e hands of the electors themselves. He (Mr. W.) had been in the House of Common occasionally, and had ob served for himself the wheedling and cons'ning that went on in that Hou a as so, n as he made his appearance there as a Member of that House, which would be on the 29th of January nex+.—(Much 'aught, r.) Som of the half Tories out of place, and some of the Whigs in place, would come to him and attempt to wheedle him. They would say to him "Wakl-y, you have got a turbulent con stituency in Finsbury—(Laughter); it's all very well for you totalk as you do out of doors, but here you must come a little into our way—You must soften down the fungus which you find here, and we will grant you a little of what your ask."—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that such would be the l i cousining language used wien he appea ed as a Member there. And all would yield to such language who did not go there pledged men. He pledged himself, and why ? Because it was impossible for a man who de pended on his public character to go to Parliament pledg.d end then to break that pledge. Well then it was absolutely necessary that taxation shout] be reduced ; And as to public office in one sense, they might he put up to public auction. Let men be put into office who ay., mill do the wom k for moderate incomes. No doubt Mr. Ser geant Spankie would be glad to take the office of Judge in the Court of Common Pleas at a s dary of 1,500/ a year. The Judea presiding tbere had not hall the experience of the Learned Sergeant, nor were they half so competent, and yet the puisne judges had a salary of 3,5001., and the Chief Justice no less than B,oool.=the President of Ame rica having only 6,000/. If, then, such a talented judge as the Learned Sergeant would make could be got for 1,500/. ; and he might be induced to accept of I,oool.)—(Much laughter, in which the Learned Sergeant joined)—why should the poor man have to pay 8,000/. for the purpose of putting an additional layer of powder on the wig of the Chief Justice? In regard to the reduction of taxation, it would be necessary to look to the Pension List, and he (Mr. W.) would there have to take the largest sponge he could meet with, dip it into a gallon of ink, and wipe every name off he found there. To talk of vested rights was absurd. Was it not as necessary to look to the vested rights of the working man and the tradesman. Much had been said about practical reduction—it was for the people to deprive the Government of the means of being dishonest, and then to trust to their integrity.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) And if they who had the purse strings in their own hands did not choose to take care of how it was opened, how could they think that those who had hitherto had :the power would not continue their corrupt practices ? The country wanted a cheap King—it wanted a cheap fo reign Queen.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It wanted a cheap ministry, such as would be consistent with the present times, though at present there was nothing but a profligate expendi ture, and the public had as yet derived nothing from the pass ing of the Reform Bill. The ministers were not even pledged to any t hing for the public good, although it was far from his intention at present to make any attack on the conduct of the present government.—[Here some person on the hus tings interrupted the speaker by an observation which we were not in a situation to hear.]—The Times newspaper had predicted that there would be violence and disorder at this meeting ; as for himself, he would say, if he had an enemy present, let that individual step forward and offer an insult to his opponents—if he has friends there, nothing could they gratify him so much in as to assist in supporting every thing in the shape of order and de- corum.—(Great cheering.) On all occasions in which he had come in contact with his opponents, nothing but politeness and civility had transpired, and the circumstance of seeing at that moment all the placards without a particle of dirt upon them—without a spot, except so far as they were defaced by the names they bore—(Laughter)—was a sufficient answer of itself to the calumny that had been circulated. _ He had heard with attention all the other candidates had had to say—he claimed of others the same indulgence, and if the person be hind him, who had taken upon himself to interrupt, had any thing to say against him, let him manfully stand forward and mike the stab ment.—(Cheers and loud calls for the individual to come forward, but no one having presented himself, the candidate proceede. Mr. W. then addressed the meeting at very considerable length and was throughout loudly cheered. He exclaimed against the tithes—against the inequality and injustice of the laws of the coun try—against the taxes upon beer—against the conti nuance of slavery—against the taxes on knowledge —against the injustice of the present Reform Bill towards the agriculturing labourer, to whom it gave no vote against the taxcs on windows and the assessed t axes. He disliked police in the uniform of soldier s; he ob jectedasd that tanding thearm army was always g d e eclar eO nly mode of kepttu o p, so and are getting that altered, was to take away from Govern ment the means of supporting it.—(ch eers ( Let the Government adopt measures calculated to Make persons happy in their own homes, and there would be no necessity for regiment upon regiment to keep them in order. Should they be pleased to return him to Parlia ment, they might rest assured that he would serve them with fidelity, and never deceive his constituehts as to any one pledge he had ever given. _ He retired amidst immense cheeering. The Returning_ officer now put the election to a show of hands, and named the candidates in the rotation in which they had been nominated. In the result he declared the election by the show of hands to have fallen on Thomas Wakley, Esq. and on the Right Honourable Robert Grant. The declaration of the election having licen in faXotir of Mr. Wakl y (which was by an immense majority) was received wit h great applause, whereas the declaration, that it also ,had fallen on Mr. Grant, was,. received with almost ad unaniinous shout in the negatiVe, the elbciorsdeclating that it had fallen on Mr: Temple, as t'..e second bess, and that Mr. Satchell had acted partially. The confusion prevailed for a considerable time. Mr. Tempe and the electors wished it to be put to a show of hands again, whether he or Mr. Grant had the majority, but the returning officer refused to comply, and then a poll, first on behalf of Mr. Babbage and then on behalf of all the candidates; was dernanited. The Rettirnffig Officer's deputy stated that the poll would take place On Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, and finally to close on Tuesday, at 4 o'clock. He likewise stated the different places at whieh, and the order in which the votes would be received throughout the Boro'. Mr. BISCHOFF moved a resolution of thanks to Mr. Sat chell for his able and impartial conduct. Mr. WHITBREAD seconded it, anti it ik'as said to Le tar ried by 'J. shoW of hands. Mr. WAKI.FA' hoped all his friends present would go tt the poll on Monday and Tuesday, eanh taking with them at least six others, and on Wednesday he was sure they would have a far more triumphant ma jority than they had even had on the present occasion. Adjourned till Monday morning. WESTMINSTER. Colonel EVANS—I entertain the highest personal respect for both my opponents, and particularly fbr the Hon. Baronet who has just addressed you, but I should be unworthy of appear ing before you in the character I now do if I could suffer my private feeling, to actuate my conduct as a public man. The Hon. Bart- commenced with a remark, if I heard him distinctly on that point, I did not on many others which was utterly unfounded. He designated me his opponent, but gents. you know that it is he who is my opponent, and not I his. The Hon. Baronet then re ferred to what he had written respecting your being fools, and possibly myself being a knave.—(Laughter.) It is strange that this is the first time, after an acquaintance of twenty-six years, that he should have informed you what he thirks of you. However that may be, the inference is too obvious that I, in stating my opinions to you, am a knave. I must take leave to say, however, notwithstandng the superiority the Hon. Bart. no doubt has over me in every respect, that I know not one act of my life which leaves me open to the charge of knavery, any more than his own does to a similar charge. (Loud and con tinued cheering.) But let it be granted that those who state their opinions are knaves, is he not a much bigger knave than I am ?—(Cheers and laughter.) When I came before you as a candidate a short time ago, I told you that from the know ledge I had of the opinions of a large portion of the electors, I considered myself as obeying a public duty in offering myself as a candidate for this great city. I told the great meeting, before which I first appeared, that I should not con sider myself irrevocably bound to the contest till I found how far my opinions on the great questions likely to come before Parliament were in unison with yours, and how far you would give me that degree of support likely to lead to a triumphant issue. I have since attended many meetings, and the result has been in the highest degree satisfactory.— (Cheers.) A great part of what I intended to say has been anticipated by my eloquent and intelligent proposer and seconder ; but there are a few points which I should like also to touch upon. We have been designated destructives of late—(Laughter)—but before I appeared in the field,the Hon. Baronet was content with calling you " impatients. ' This is a mild term although borrowed from great authority, it has not been an authority —as yet very much respected in Westminster. Gentlemen—the first per. son who made use of the word " impatient," was the late Lord Castlereagh, who spoke of you as being ignorantly impa tient of taxation. Sir F. Burdett, after his glorious career has thought proper to use the language of Lord Castle reagh, till another candidate appearing in the field he translates " impatient" into " destructive." But I will say the same thing with respect to my desstruc tive opinions that I said with respect to my knavery. If I am a "a destructive," the two other Hon. Candidates, judg ing by their former professions—(a laugh)—were a great deal more destructive than I shall ever be.—(Loud cheers.) lam willing, however, to take the title, and will state in what I really wish to be a destructive. I wish to destroy the Sinecure List and all pensions, wherever they have not been merited. I will carry my destructiveness yet further; for I am resolved, if I should have the honour of your support, to endeavour to destroy the house and window tax; the taxes on knowledge--those grand impediments to all really national liberty—(Bravo, bravo, bravo)—those taxes which are more operative to repress liberty than even the bayonet or Russian " knout"—even those taxes will I exert myself to the uttermost to destroy. I shall advocate, too, the shortening of the duration of Parliaments, and since pledges have been referred to, has not my Honourable opponent been pledged chin-deep on that very subject, on these very hust.. ings ?—(Cries of " Yes, yes," and cheers.) With what assu rance, then, can they tell you that it would be wrong in them to pledge themselves on those great organic measures which, ever since they have been before you, have been their per petual themes.—(Hear, hear.) They are no less pledged to the ballot, and I am destructive enough to pledge myself to that also. The very fact which has been alluded to to-day, of the gentleme of Charing-cross having been sent for to the Treasury, and threatened with the withdrawal of custom un less he voted against me—(Groans)—is sufficient to prove the necessity of voting by ballot. Nay, Lord Althorp, the Government leader in the House of Commons, is no less pledged than the late Members for Westminster to the vote by ballot. Further, gentlemen, I am destructive enough to vote for the abolition of tithes, for the removal of the Bishops from the House of Lards, and for a more equal app •rtionment of the revenues of the Church, so that the wo-kniz c'ergy may b! properly remunerated from the superfluities of the fat prebendaries.—(Loud cheers.) With respect to Ireland, much has been said about a repeal of e Union, hut. the true way of preventing the agitation of that question, and of establishing a thorough union, is 1.3 r giving the two islands an identity of rights, feelings, n 1 interests, by doing justice to Ireland, by sweeping away the corrupt system of Government prevailing there, and by withdrawing a 1 irge part of the army there, which inie,ht be easily done. With respect to the corn laws, whatever may be the sentiments of my opponents, and I hope you will question them on the subject, I am satisfied that they are the most tyrannical and unjust laws which a selfish oligarchy ever passed for its own benefit.—(Applause.) By means of those laws, a tax of twelve millions sterling, per annum, was annually levied upon the industrious and working part of the community.—(Cries of" Shame, and groans.") I will not de scend into particulars, but, suffice it to say, that there is scarcely a necessary of life, the produce of the land, upon which a heavy duty is not imposed, which causes money to be taken from your pockets which does not go into the exchequer. For the abolition of the East India monopoly, and of slavery in the colonies, lam an equally zealous advocate.—(What do you think of flogging in the army ?) I have already voted for the abolition of flogging in the army, and my opinion upon that subject is probably known to most of you. I did my utmost, after the Reform Bill was passed, to car n r o y r fl e o t g re g n i c n h g me nt into the military department, put was unfortunat e l y opposed by the Honourable Baronet, who will p resently address you. (Cri e s of " Hothouse, There are one or two other points which particularly con cern you, upon which I beg to say a few words. First, there is the Vestry Bill, I do not wish to depreciate the great service performed by the hon. candidate on my left in promoting that bill, but there are objections to it which he ought to have exerted himself more energetically to remove. I allude particularly to the objections to the adoption clause which throws great difficulties into the way ofany parish wish ing to adopt the Bill, and those to the qualification clause which are more important. The qualification is no less than 40!., being 400 per cent, more for an elector to regulate parochial affairs, than is required in an elector for a Member of Parlia ment—a qualification so aristocratic as completely to have disqualified the majority of the inhabitants of some parishes ; as, for instance, than of St. John's, Westminster. By another important oversight of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Select Vestry of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, which has raised as much as 40,0001. per annum, from the parishioners is still left with uncontrolled power over that parish. Many who now hear me are perhaps not affected by the Grosvenor Act, but it bears with peculiar hardship upon the outer ward of St. George's Parish, and an instance of its operation occurred yesterday, which I cannot forbear narrating to you. Many persons refusing to pay the unjust taxes levied under that rate, warrants were taken out against them, but it so happened that only two persons have been seized and had their property distrained, and those two were members of my committee.—(Cries of shame.) The inhabitants of the outer ward of St. George have long complained of the operation of this act, and, as I am informed, they applied some six or seven years back to the right hon. Bart. to procure them relief from it, but he is represented as having turned a deaf ear to their application, or at best to have asked for money to enable him to pass a bill through the House. Since my appearance as a candidate, however, the Right Hon ourble Bart. has become more polite, and I think I may certainly take credit for improving his disposition towards the electors in this respect. He has now entered into a correspondence with the outer ward, and I find this very re markable passage in a letter written to one of the electors, a friendly one probably, a day or two back, " Although I am decidedly averse to specific pledges, as to votes or great questions, I of course hold that in all matters of local interest the constituency ought to command the representatice."— (cheers.) 'What :is it meant we :should infer from this? The distinction between local matters, and great public ques tions is drawn with a very decided hand, and as the Honourable Baronet, in the first instance says, that he thinks a representa tive is to be commanded by his constituency, does he mean to say that in the second case the constituency is to be comman ded by the repres en t at i ve? (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, there is another subje , ct o up tu oi a i w gt h e i a c t h d l eg a e m e. bn l u to nd ea t o the to y m stateandof it theconcerns New Police. I und ers t an d, gentl e _ men, that )o the parish of St. Georg e ' s t h e annual cost of the former mode of watching that pari s h was 40004 or 6000!. But n it amounts to no l ess th an 18,000! . Well, gentlemen, in maybe said that St. G eorge ' s par i s h, s ovi s , present gentlemen, tilg it being an aristocratical pariih ought to pay for the watching of Whitechmtel but at all events it should be remembered that a large part of Si. George's differs not at all from any—if they Were all equal f shonld have no nbjeetion. There is another ground of objection which I have heard, and which I think has been reasonably complaied of. Its is this tha they are paid by the local authorities, but they are not in the s'ightest degree under the inhabitants, nor do they ever treat with respect in consideration, the inha bitants of this district, iyhO are the persons Who pay them.— ';Cries of "Bravo, biavo." For my own part, I never view the New Police with a favourable eye. I consider that force as un constitutional. It reminds me of the " Gensd'armes of France, besides which, it is under the immediate authority (without even the intervention of a Magistrate) of one of the otectitive Ministers of the Crown.—(Hear.) In that reipect, I conceive that description of force as objectionable; but, at all events, I must say, that I shall be disposed to support a due authority on the part of tIo2 inhabitants, who pay the new police of what ver de scription it may he. In the employment of the ne v police, there is no such thing as introducing that force to maintain peace and good order, for it becomes rather a nuisance than beneficial to the people. Gentlemen, why have I touched on these subjects ? In the first place, I think it was due to you to know this. But there is another subject on which I wish to speak a little. When I first came forward as a canditate on this occasion, entertain ing the feelings as I did towards the two Hon. Members who have sat for this great city before, I was desirous not to pass any comment whatever on the conduct of the two Hon. Baronets.—(Hear, hear.) I conceived it was a duty which much more properly devolved on you to consider how far they had fulfilled or omitted to fulfil their dutyebefore.—(Hear, hear.) But gentlemen when I declined to pass an opinion, or to pass any censure on them forthwith, it was answered by the Noble Baronet and his friends, that I was guilty of the grossest pos.ible absurdity and impropriety in coming forward to oppose him, while I had no fault to find with his conduct; and in a speech which he addressed to a meeting at the Crown and Anchor the other day, he dared me, if I ant to believe the r. ports in the public prints, to state any thing objectionable to anyrpart of his conduct.—(Bravo)—therefore it is that I feel myself obliged, in self defence, to state a few points. May be, Gentlemen, you have a better knowledge of him than I can have, but there are great public measures in which I know he has been wanting in his duty, and upon these he has challenged me to find fault with him Since he came into office he has in several important in stances failed in his promises and professions to you as his con. stituents.—(Cheers.) Now it will be in the recollection of many of you that the Right Honourable Baronet has dilated with eloquence on different occasions against the barrack system in this country.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was a frequent topic of his, and he frequently declared that they were a sort of internal fortress for overawing the people, and leading to despotism.—(Cheers.) And when they applied to have certain barracks not far from this (in the Mews) removed, he charged the Government as being guilty of a design to esta blish despotism, by placing this sort of fortress in the centre of Westminster. But, gentlemen, how has he fulfilled those professions since he went into office—how has he conducted himself ?—( Much confusion, and waving of hats.) Has he said a word against this fortress in the Mews at Charing_ cross ?—(Hear.) No ; but I will tell you what he has done, and what lie has allowed to be done. He has allowed another barracks to be commenced, and with this new building under his nose on the other side of the park.—(Here the Gallant Colonel was interrupted by violent confusion, waving of hats, and throwing of mud, cabbage leaves, &c. at Sir John.) In an swer to his challenge upon another point, he denounced elo quently, and much to his honour, on former occasions, the sys. tern of corporal punishments.—(Hisses, uproar, and cries of " Flog Sir John.") If lam not mistaken, he described that system as a moral, as well as a physisal evil—a thing which ought not to be endured by Britons—a thing which was cha racteristic of slavery, in the worst sense of the term. —(Hear, hear.) He stated, also, If I am not mistaken, that one lash was as much a degradation and moral evil as a thousand. What has he done ? Has he acted in conformity with those professions ?—(Cries of " No, no; you need not tell us any thing more of him.") Very well, gentlemen, I shall not proceed farther.—(Cries of " Hear, hear ; yes, yes.") I say he has carried his opposition still farther for a motive; and I think a most rational motive was brought before the House of Commons for one year during this time of peace, to abolish this horrid system. Did he yield to that ? No! Even the experiment for one year, which I, as a military man, consider perfectly practicable—he rejected.—(Uproar.) But, gentlemen, he went farther; did he content himself with merely opposing these motions which had for their object humanity as I conceive ? No. He not only opposed these motions, but he actually was the man himself—he who so denounced that abominable punishment—was the man who brought in the Mutiny Act for perpetuating that punishment —(Cries of " Drill him well, Colonel," and great uproar.) Gentlemen, some friends of the Right Hon. Baronet have made a noise just as I was approaching these particular subjects. I should be surprised if he had not some friends ; but I wish, I should be delighted, if he could give any tolerable explanation of his con duct on this subject.:There was another most important subject in which he has committed himself, again and again, throughont ;he whole course of his political life, and that was with respect to the expenditure of the army. Now the expenditure of the army to which the Rt. Hon. Baronet, before he was in office had particularly directed himself was the most important branch of the expenditure of the country, because it is the largest. So far would he carry his opinions beyond mine, perhaps I am a knave.—( Laughter.) Still he always voted for any motion that had for its object the reduction of the standing army. He went farther ; and used to say on every occasion that if any Hon. Member would propose to reduce the whole standing army altogether, he would support him in doing so.—(Cheers and uproar.) This was his language in former times and I was not prepared to go to the extent to which he did, but I made a simple motion last session for the reduction merely of the force that his colleagues had added to the army. But he would no t hear of it—he said, " Oh, look to the state of Ireland— (Laughter)—the state of torc.gn affairs.—(Leughter.) When he brought in the Mutiny Act—which has put an end, in my opinion, to his political career—(Cheers)—and when he resisted motions for reduction and retrenchment, he said once or twice, " I am only Secretary at War.—(Hisses.) Suppose my Lord Althorp, when we trouble him about the windom tax says, " I am only Chancellor of the Exchequer," why that would be a pretty state of things we should be in ! Hes was personally responsible for his conduct even as a Member of Go vernment.—(Bravo.) I say, then, gentlemen, having been challenzed to state objections to his political conduct since he went into office, I must say I conceive there are no instances, I wish to use no harsh expressions, on record of tergiversa sations and short turns with respect to political conduct, at all equal to those which the Right Hon. Baronet has presented to the county.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) It is true I could go on upon this subject for a very considerable time, but as my object was merely to answer the challenge made to me, and not to speak improperly to a great length, for one, might use strong words, and turn the conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet into something like ridicule, if we con; trasted his former professions with his present metamorphoses; but I have done all I think necessary to answer the challenge thrown out to me. I conclude by stating tbat I shall be happy to answer any questions you mty put to me, and I pr!sum!th Right Hon. Baronet may eo the same.—)Cries of :` No: he won't.") One subject has been touched on by the public prints, and I think I may as well now attend to it. it has been said I have brought forward for Ward as the cole ground of objec. tion to his return, That he was in office under the Crown. I bag to say that was not the sole ground, although consiperin, as I dof that the constituency of Westminster has some claim to additional privileges beyond any other in the empire, having proved its enlightenment and independence at times when other constituences did not do so ; but the question is, whether he has not in connecting himself with government, sacrificed his former principles and profes sions as representative of the people (hear.) I conceive if the representative of the people joins the government without obtaining conditions from them fur the mainte nance of his former professions and public character, he places himself completely at the mercy of the minister, and vitiates his claim to the future confidence of his consti- tuents. So completely is the Right Hon. Bart. in that predicament, that I conceive he is now much more to be re- iarded as the member fin. Lord,Grey, than the member for Westminster (cheers). However gents. he may show that all my statements are false. At all the meetings of the consti tuency of the city of Westminster at which I have presented myself, my opinions were received with unanimous approba tion. I believe there is every prospect, and you will be glad to hear it—for it is your cause, and not mine—for a fa vourable result.—(Loud and long continued cheers.) None will fail, I believe, to vote for me but those who are willing for the future to wear the livery of the Honourable Baronet, and to have all the insult and opprobrium of this city thrown upon them.—(Cheers.) If returned to Parlia ment, I will consider it my duty and pride to attend not tonly to my public duty, but I shall sedulously, and at all all times, be ready to render my best and utmost services to you. The gallant Colonel then withdrew amidst loud cheering and waving of hats, which continued for some time. Sir JOHN CAM HOBrIOUSE then came forward amidst great uproar, and the pelting with cabbages.) After various unsuccessful attempts to gain a hearing, the Hon. Baronet said, I trust that the gallant Colonel con gratulates himself on the consequences of his opposition— (Much confusion). Gentlemen, you are determined it seems to persevere ; and so shall I persevere in my duty. I repeat I am not to be intimidated by any of your dis graceful conduct which the new friends, not of Reform, but of confusion, think so creditab'e to themselves and to the City of Westminster. Gentlemen, if this is to be the last time that I am to appear before you—if the result of the poll is to deprive me of my late seat for Westmin ster, I shall look back on our late connection with gratitude towards you for the confidence you have reposed in roe, I shall not think of the disturbance of this day, and you may depend on it that I shall endeavour by my future conduct, whether in or out of Parliament, to convince you that you are by your present course committing a mistake.—(Continued uproar.) Gentlemen, I appeal to your better feelings, whether or not you prefer an old friend to a new ally—whether or not you will refer to past conduct, or to professions, for the future!, (Cheers.) I appeal to you, whether you will turn round upO one of the old friends of BeforM, and give to the country spectacle; I will. not say of ingratitude, for it does 14 become me tb boast of ally little service I may hag s been to you, but if waywardness, capride, ,a.llll ivi•eAli°l love of change—(Much confusion(—such as I do 11 01 ' think, however, you will present.—(Cries of " Off, off.'') Gentlemen, I can this, if Colonel Evans should be re' returned, if he shout(' do his duty by you, I, as an elector of Westminster, will stand by him.—(Cheers.) Ando Gentlemen, if it should Q. his crime to toil, as I have , for fourteen years, as your servant, he Aay depehdupo° it I will n o t b e t h e man to tr i p up hi s heels.—(theero 1 Gentlemen, I should best consult, I believe, the wi.bes o f , hose before me if, from this court I were to appeal to 6 °l polling on Monday and Tuesday. And I have 0 ° lonbt, wfoatever be the result, it will be favourabl e to the geed sense, the -spirit and the consistency of conduct, for which the city Of WestminSter has killy , afs been renounce' (Cheers and much confusion). The HIGH BAILIFF then said, that a poll having be e' , demanded by Sir J. Hobh ouse, it was leis duty to adjourn Om Monday morning, when the polling should commenc. A vole of thanks to the High Bailiff having been propose d and carried, the meeting broke up at half-past three o'clock. j MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
