THE GENERAL ELECTION. (Meetings Concluded from THE SUN of Saturday and which appeared in uur Second Edition.) THE CITY. Mr. Alderman Wooy's speech continued—He promised them that if they could find any man who would give up more of his time, and more of his attendance in the House of Commons, who would be more ready to remove those taxes that bore heaviest on the people, or who was more eager to promote economy in the public expenditure than himself, he would at that moment give up his seat—(Lottd cheers)—for he never would hold his seat one hour beyond his having fulfilled his duty ; and let but the majority of such a meeting as was nosy present, tell him that he had not done his duty, and he would instantly resign.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WAytliNtAN came forward amidst loud cheers. He had frequently, from their hustings, requested the electors to give their attention to every individual who wished to address them, and he regretted exceedingly the interruptions :given tO One or two gentlemen. It would be idle for him to go Into a history of his past life. He had been before the 11kiblic forty years, twenty of which passed away before he con. templated reeelving any honour that was in the gift of the electors, and therefore he could have no motive for the course he then pursued. During that period, he would defy iany one to put a finger on any part of his public conduct, anti 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 sly w in what manner they would use it. They had thanked the Government for the Reform Bill, and it re mained for them to say whether they would affurd his Majesty's Government the nece , sary support to enable them to give effect to that 13111.—(Cheers.) He was hot one to put a blind confidence in any Government. On the contrary, he conceived it the duty of a Member of Parliament to act independently of any Government, and protect the rights and privileges of his fellow-citizens. With regard to himself, he had made no exertions to secure his reelection, though he was aware that some other candidates had. He had not asked for a single vote, because he considered that he could not show more respect towards the electors of 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 then particularly allude to what had been said at other places; but he regretted that any thing should have been started to divide the friends for Reform, and to set them at war with each other when they had no enemy ih 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 conti nuance of their confidence, he hoped they would use in. creased exertions at the poll on his behalf.—(Cheers.) Sir JOHN KEY came rot - Ward amidst loud cheering. He appeared before them with feelings of the deepest gratitude for the kindness Which he had received since he had become a candidate 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 ho represent the people; 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 country 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, not to represent his own interests—n , ,t to represent any party or body of men, but the interests of the whole British people.—(Cheers.) They were called on to exer cise a great and important privilege which many of them now, for 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 prosnote the increase or the decrease o taxation, according to their own views and prin. Odes, and on whose conduct, as legislators, depend ed the future happiness and prosperity of the country--(Cheers)—those who would have to examine those institutions under which, even in bad times, this country had nourished, and either to strengthen them and reform them, or, by not reforming them, to suffer them to fall into decay and 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 public principle, or the liberties of the country, were concerned, nobly stood forward with a determina tion, z al , and an energy A% hich proved them to be pa triots, and conferred an honour on tbemselve., and a last: ing benefit on their country.—(Cheers.) He called on them now to prove 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. ilc 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 coalesced 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 representative 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 forfeited.--(A laugh.) He pledged his woad and honour that he firmly believed he should go there at the head of the poll.—(Laughter.) But no matta, the bottom would do as well, if it was their pleasure ; at all events, he wt ulfl go there an indepenth nt Member, and not by cor- poration influence. He pledgtd himself to redress their wrongs, t ) 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 and 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 more 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 tender his services as their representative in the first Reformed Parliament. — (Cheers.) 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 reserve, if ever there was one in the history of mankind.—(Loud and continued cheers.) A sham represen- tation had been a phenomenon in the history of this country, but there was now a real representation, the vendors of which were the " elite " of all daises. He had recognised 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 extravagance away, and to substitute such a frugal expenditure as would satisfy the wants of an oppressed and impoverished nation.—(Cheers.) He sought for a righteous education and for an improved legislation in every department of the state.—(Cheers.) At the meetings which he had attended in various parts of the city, he had stated explicitly the measures which he intended to 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 DOW with reading it. They would also think it was unneces sary for him to state that he regarded the ballot and triennial Parliaments, as the first wants of the nation, and that he condemned the present system of tithes and corn laws. He would merely state that all he had advocated at those meetings, and all that he had recorded in that advertisement, were his own sincere conclusions, at a time when lie could not have hoped to see so large 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 before lie was chosen, would act faith fully He now committed his case to their judgment, fully trusting that they would do justice to all flit candidates, and choose those best fitted to promote the national welfare in ge neral, and the prosperity of the city of London in particular. Mr. LYALL then came forward, but such was the throughout the whole time he was speaking, that he could not be heard, except by those just be- side him. In offering himself as a candidate to re present their great city in Parliament, he assured them that no one was more deeply impressed with a sense of the im poitant trust, and of the extent of the obligations and duties than he was, He had been invited to represent the city by a respectable body of the merchants and traders, and as a mercantile man, he offered himself to their notice, and if they thought him a fit and proper person to be sent to Parliament, it should be his earnest and anxious wish to promote the commercial interests of the country in all their various, extensive, and complicated relations.—(Cheers.) With respect to the carious sub jects connected with foreign and domestic policy, which must necessarily press themselves on the new Parliament, he pledged himself to bestow great atten tion on them, when he should lie in possession of sufficient information to enable him to form a proper judg ment on them. The subject of taxation was intimately con nected with the commercial prosperity; and he would repeat what he had often said before, that he should be anxious to remove 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 public service, had been made, it was necessary that some substitute should be made, he would support such a substitute as would be less injurious to the labouring classes. As to pledges and pro mises, he knew well how little they were regarded. But if he were elected, he would act conscientiously to the best of his abilities. Mr. Sheriff FIUMPHEICY inquired if any other candidate was to be propsed, 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 few were held up for Alderman Scales and Mr. Lyall. The Sheriffs declared 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 Sheriffs appointed the polling to take place on Monday morning, to be continued for two days. The Court of Hustings was then adjourned. MAR YLEBONE. After a few more remarks from Mr. Murphy, the other three candidates, Sir Wm. Home, 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 candidates 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 URY. Mr. BISCHOFF propcsed Charles Babbage, of Dorset . street, Manchester-square, as a fit and proper person to r present in Parliament the borough of Finsbury. This was tl.e first time the electors of this borough had had the ..pportunity of exetcising an elective franchise, and for which they were indebted to our present Ministers.—(Cries of " No; to the people.") Could any one heir the name ,if Grey without adoration, or that of Broughlm, proba bly the greatest 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 their 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 no_ initiate 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 im 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. Ile 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 borough in Parliament.—(Mr. Grant's name was received with loud hissings from almost all parts of the mul titude.) Mr Whitbread did not know why the name of the Rt. Hon. Gentleman should be received with such expressions of dis approbation.—(Cries of "Because he is a perisiouer.)" He was no pensioner.—(Cries of" His family are pensioners.") He had beets loog and faithful servant to the public ; and his coining forward to offer himself for Finsbury the electors ought to 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.—(Loud hisses.) Mr. NICHOLSON next came forward to propose Mr. Se rgeant Spankie as a fit and proper person. Ile was a gentle man 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 the persons present.— (Cries of " No, no," and 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 tha 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. RoGEas 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 Waklcy, 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 that 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 tion-, which most vitally concerned the public. He had the honour to support Mr. NVakley, because he had pledged himself to various points of great importance. He had affixed his name to them, and done it willingly. He was a most able and honest man, well known to the great mass of the electors, and highly deserving of their support.— ( 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 be hoped that that exertion would not be wanting. The candidates having now been put in nomination, Mr. Babbage catre forward to address the !tinting. The ground on which he had to offer himself to the suffrages of the electors, was his having examined all the manufac tories of the country, and his feeling that it ought to be the 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 tobe 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 inte rested. 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 hail been so often stated. The Learned Candi date then proceeded briefly through some of the details which l►e considered mainly interested the electors. He was a friend to the reduction of taxes, vote by ballot, free trade, and abolition of slavery. He hoped to have the support of the electors, and for that he would feel greatly obliged. The Right Hon. Rosetta. GRANT now appeared. It was some time b►fore 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." lie hoped that at all events he might f.btain a heating. He declared he nor any of his family had ever received a shilling of pension in their lives. The electors might reject him, but if they did so, it ouv,ht to be upon true grounds. As to the office he held of Commissioner, with which he had been taunted of receiving 1,2001. a year from it, or having received it, he denied most positively that he had either received the 1,2001. or bad the slightest expectation of receiving it. He received not one farthing more for his office than what a popular Committee considered him entitled to, it being one-third less than his predecessors in the same office 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 respect to the other names (and particularly five names of ladies) he knew nothing whatever. He had never examined into who they were.— (Cries of "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 ? Certainly 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 much, the people would not now turn round for the purpose of removing them, seeing they had laboured for the people to the utmost extent 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, for the first time in his life, under Lord Grey's adminis tration ; but it was 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. —(Cheers, and cries of" Off, 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 with 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 SPANKIE 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 best consideration of the different subjects submitted to him ; as to being pledged, therefore, pledged he would not be.— (Cheers and great confusion.) As regarded the assessed taxes, however, he regretted to see that the Nobility and gentry were so lighty loaded with them, compsred with the measure of impost upon the lower classes of society, and without pledging himself, he declared his intention not to support such a system. As to triennial Parliaments, it might be that it ss ould have to come to that, but at pre sent it was too early to talk of altering the dura tion of 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.—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. NV.,) 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 lie 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 should he reduced ? (Cries of " Yes, yes.") Was it their wish that slavery should be extinguished ?--(Yes, yes.) Was it their wish that the corn laws should be abolished ?—(Yes, yes.) Was it their wish 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 tie hands of the electors themselves. He (Mr. W.) had been in the House of Commons occasionally, and had ob served for himself the wheedling and cozening that went on in that House. As soon as he made his appearance there as a Member of that House, which would be on the 29th of January next—(Much laughter)—sotne 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," Wakley, you have got a turbulent con • stituency in Finsbury—(Laughter)—it's all very well for you to talk 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 you ask."—( Hear, hear.) He was sure that such would he the cr language used when he appeared 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 pledged and then to break that pledge. Well, then, it was absolutely necessary that taxation shoul I be reduced ; and as to public offices, in one sense they might he put up to public auction. Let men be put into office who w. uld do the not 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 salary of 1,5001. a year. The Judges presiding there had not half the experience of the Learned Sergeant, nor were they half so competent, and yet the puisne Judges had a salary of 3,500/., and the Chief Justice no less than 8,000/.—the President of Ame rica having only 6,0001. If, then, such a talented Judge as the Learned Sergeant would make could be got for 1,5001., 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 thing 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 had friends there, nothing could gratify him so much 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 make the statement.—(Cheers an d loud c a ll s f or t h e individual to com e f orwar d, but no one having presented hitn , elf, the candidate proceeded.) Mr. W. then addressed the meeting at very considerable length and sv,ts 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 agricultural labourer, to whom it gave no vote— against the taxes on windows and the assessed iaxes.. The disliked police in the uniform of soldiers ; he ob jected to so large a standing army as was always kept up, and declared that the only mode of getting that altered, was to take away from Govern ment the means of supporting it. — (Cheers.) 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 constituents as to any one pledge he had ever given. He retired amidst immense cheering. The Returning-officer now put the election to a show of hands, and named the candidates in the rotation in which they had hem nominated. In the result he declared the election by the show of hands to have fallen on Thomas Wakley, F.sq., and on the Right Hon. Robert Grant. The declaration of the election,baving been in favour of Mr. Wakley (which was by an immenie majority) was received with great applause ; whereas the declaration that it also had fallen on %Ir. Grant, was received with almost an unanimous shout in the negative, the electors declaring that it had fallen In Mr. Temple, as Vie second best, and that Mr. Satchell had acted partially. The confusion prevailed for a considerable time. Mr. Temple 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 demanded. The Returning-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, and the order, in which the votes would be received throughout the borough. Mr. BISCHOFF moved a resolution of thanks to Mr. Satchell for his able and impartial conduct. Mr. WHITBREAD seconded it, and it was said to be car ried by a show of hands. Mr. WAKLEY hoped that all his friends present would go to the poll on Monday and Tuesday, each taking with him 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 for 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 feelings 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, Gentlemen, 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 thinks 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 theirs, and how far they 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 is not 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 ; and, another candidate appearing in the field, lie translates " impatient" into " destructive." But I will say the same thing with respect to my destruc tive opinions that I said with respect to my knavery. If I am a "destructive," the two other Hon. Candidates, judg_ ing by their former professions—(A laugh) —were a gnat 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; he taxes on knowledge—those grand impediments to all real 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 pled;es have been referred to, have not my Hon. Opponents 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 gentleman 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 Lords, and for a more equal apportionutent of the revenues of the Church, so that the working clergy may In properly remunerated from the superfluities of the fat prebendaries.—(Loud cheers.) With respect to Ireland, much has been said about a repeal of the Union; but the true way of preventing the agitation of that question, and of establishing a thorough union, is by giving the two islands an identity of rights, feelings, and interests, by doing justice to Ireland, by sweeping away the corrupt system of Government prevailing there, and by withdrawing a lirge part of the army there, which might be easily done. With respect to the corn laws, whatever may he 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, 1 am 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 carry retrenchment into the military department, put was unfortunately opposed by the Honourable Baronet, who will presently address you.—(Cries of " No Holohouse ; no flogging Jack.") 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 Right Hon. C indidate on my left in promoting that Bill; but there are objec tions to it which he ought to have exerted him self more energetically to remove. I allude particu larly 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, that 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 t p ,y ar i peculiar y ve w no h r o n A ow et, he b ar ut me it are b p ea er r h s ap w s it n h ot hardship upon the outer wsrd of St. George's parish, and an instance of its operation occurred yesterday, which I parish. Grosvenor 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 happens 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 Ho nourable Baronet 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 on great questions, I of course hold that in all matters of local interest the constituency ought to command the representative."— (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 commanded by the representative ? (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, there is another subject Olson which I am bound to say something, and it concerns you in a great degee. I mean the present state of the new police. I understand, Gentle. men, that in the parish of St. George's the annual cost of the former mode of watching that parish was 4,0001. or 6,000/. But now, Gentlemen, it amounts to no less than 18,0001. Well, Gentlemen, it may be said that St. George's parish, being an aristocratical parish, ought to pay for the watching of Whitechap-l; but at all events it should be rememb red that a large part of St. George's differs not at all from any--if they were all equal I should have no objection. There is another ground of objection which I have heard, and which I think has been reasonably complained of. It is this, that they are paid by the local authorities, but they are not in the slightest degree under the inhabitants, nor do they even treat with respect, in consideration, the inha bitants of this district, who are the persons who pay them.— (Cries of " Bravo, bravo.") 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 gendarmes of France ; besides which, it is under the immediate authority (without even the intervention of a Magistrate) of one of the executive Ministers of the Crown.—(Hear.) In that respect, 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 the inhabitants who pay the new police, of whatever de scription it may be. In the employment of the new police, there is no such thing as introducing that force to maintain peace and good order, fur it b-comes rather a nuisance than beneficial to the people. Gentlemen, why have I touched on these subjects ? Because 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 candidate on this occasion, entertain ing the feelings 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 duty before.—(Hear, hear.) But, Gentlemen, when I declined to pass an "pinion, or to pass any censure on them fortimith, it was answered by the Hon. Baronet and his friends, that I was guilty of the grossest possible 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, lie dared me, if I ant to believe the reports in the public print% to state any thing objectionable to any part 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 favourite topic of his, and he frequently declared, that they were a sort of internal fortress for over-awing 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 lie 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 he 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, lie denounced elo quently, and much to his honour, on former occasions, the sys tem 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 lie has carried his opposition still farther for a motive; and I think a most rational motion 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 would 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, throughout the whole course of his political life, and that is 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, bad particularly directed himself, is 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 do away with the 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 not h ear of it. He said, " Oh, look to the state of Ireland — (Laughter)—the state of foreign affairs.—(Laughter.) When he brought in_ the Mutiny Act—which put an end, in my opi . _ _ _ . . nion, 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 window tax, was to say, " I am only Chancellor of the Exchequer," why that would be a pretty state of things we should be in He was personally responsible for his conduct even as a Member of Go- vernment.—(Bravo, bravo.) Then, Gentlemen, having been challenged 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 country.—(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, I have done all I think necessary to answer the challenge thrown out to me. I will conclude by stating that I shall be happy to answer any questions you may put to me, and I presume the Right Hon. Baronet may do the same.—(Cries of " No, he won't.") One subject has been touched oft by the public prints, and I think I may as well now attend to it. It has been said that I have brought forward, as the sole ground of objec. tion to his return, that he was in office under the Crown. beg to say that was not the sole ground, although considering, as I do, 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 ; yet 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- larded as the Member for Lord Grey, than tie Member for Westminster. However, gentlemen, 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—of 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 Par ment, I will consider it my duty and pride to attend not only to my public duty, but sedulously, and at 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 HOBHOUSE then came forward amidst great uproar, and pelting with cabbages. After various unsuccessful attempts to gain a hearing, the Lion. Baronet said, I trust that the Gallant Colonel con- gratulates himself on the consequences of his opposition.— (Much confusion.) Gentlemen, von are det,rmined, it seeps, to persevere ; end so shall I persevere in my duty. I repeat I am not to be intimidated by any of the dis graceful conduct which the new friends, not of Reform, but of confusion, think so creditable to themselves and to the city of Westminster. Gentlemen, if this is to be the last time that lam 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 _ _ . me. 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 upon one of the old friends of Reform, and give to the country a spectacle, I will not say of ingratitude, for it does not become me to boast of any little service I may had been to you, but of waywardness, caprice, and wreekl love of change—(Much confusion)—such as I do 0j think, however, you will present.—(Cries of .‘ Off, oft') Gentlemen, I can say this, if Colonel Evans should b returned, if he shou'd do his duty by you, I, as an elect of Westminster, will stand by him.__(Cheers.) AWL Gentlemen, if it should be his fortune to toil, as I have' for fourteen years, as your servant, he may depend upo it I will not he the man to trip up his heels.—(Cheers) Gentlemen, I should best consult, I believe, the wishes those before me if, from this court I were to appeal to di g polling on Monday and Tuesday ; and I have P . doubt, whatever be the result, it will he favourable to the good sense, the spirit and the consistency of conduct , for which the city of Westminster has always been renowned —(Cheers and much confusion.) The H on BAILIFF then said, that a poll having be . ' l , l „, demanded by Sir J. H o bh ouse, it was hi s duty to adjourn P' Monday morning, when the polling would commence. A vote of thanks to the High Bailiff having been prop and carried, the meeting broke up at half-past three o'clock. THE WESTMINSTER RUMP. A brief explanation of this term may be accePt t " ble to our country readers. The Rump o f West' minsier describes a small body of Westminster elec . tors, nearly all tradesmen, who, by means of union' watchfulness, and diligence, have managed to re ntal two Reformers for the Royal city, in spite of Coe° arid aristocratic influence. Sir Francis Burdett Ni t often been called by the Tories a nominee of the Westminver Rump; and there can be no doe° that Sir John Hobhouse is indebted for his presen t office altogether to the exertions of these Westmir L ster shopkeepers. The Times, seemingly not vse w inf”rmed on the subject, lately spoke conteroptn; ously of th e R ump, as if they had brought form°, Colonel Evans in opposition to Sir John Hobhouget but the fact is, that a portion of the Rump stick!l fast to Sir John, and that only a part of it is be' come attached to the new candidate. Whether S ir John or the Colonel rest on the larger division 0 have not heard ; but judging from the Times, vek° now praises the Rump, and speaks sneeringly WO of the " Slice," we should imagine that Sir Job ® had the better share. Westminster may now said to have two Rumps. In America, nearly el town has a Rump, which th e y ca ll a C aucus ; 11;1 henceforth, probably every large English town iv . % have its R u mp, un d er th e t itl e o f a C omm i ttee " Club of Electors, acting in concert, and making" l electio n th e business of the elect o r s , instead leaving it t o t h e can did ates an d t h e i r agents , used to be the case every where except in ,West minster.—Spectator.
