He should therefore withdraw himself from that Committee. He would plump for Bur dett, if necessary ; or, though he did not altogether like Sir John Hohhouse's conduct, he would divide his vote with him, if he had a fair chance; but if not, and there was any fear of a Tory, he would split between Sir Francis Burdett and Colonel Evans.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THE ELECTIONS. Mr. THURSTON believed Sir John would Fatiely him on the point; but as Minister he could not be pledged. Colonel Joisres expressed his readiness to give any as sistance in support of Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John. Hobbouae. He thought the electors of Westminster would he most ungrateful if they did not return them. They owed a debt of gratitude to the present Ministers, and they owed them this—an opportunity of carrying out the bene fits of their own measure. The electors of Westminster had returned Sir John Hobhouse after his acceptance of office, and if they had the slightest regard for consistency, they ought to re-elect him. His past conduct was to them a sufficient security for the future. He was an enemy to pledges, for to pledge a man was to intimate your suspicion MANSION-HO USE. Three young men, named Wilkes, Skipp, and Cain, were brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having broken into and entered the warehouse of Messrs. Sewell and Wooley, No. 129, Upper Thames-street, by the sky-light, and stolen several articles. WESTMINSTER. Last night a meeting of the principal friends and sup porters of Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John Cam Hob house took plsce at the Crown and Anchor, for the pur pose of considering the best means of promoting their re-election for the City of Westminster. Between 20 and 30 gentlemen were present. Mr. DE VEAR was called to the chair, and informed the meeting, that in consequence of the resolutions passed at a previous meeting, application had been made to Sir F. Burdett and Sir John Cam Hobhouse for permission to nominate them, to which they bad acceded. Mr. Isocson then read the letters from Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John Hobhouse, both of which contained a refusal to give any pledges, and that of Sir Francis de nounced the system in the strongest terms. The following are copies of the resolutions alluded to above, to which are subjoined the reply of Sir Francis Burdett, and also that of Sir John Hobhouse:— f him.

Be sure to ask for " Walter's Aniseed Pills," On Sunday morning, about 8 o'clock, Parish, one of the City police, while passing along Fish-street hill, saw Skipp going forward with a bag, but sud denly missed him. The officer communicated with Evans, the street-keeper, who joined him in the look out, and they were not long watching, when they secured the three prisoners, one of whom had a coat, and boots and shoes in his hag, the second a large dial, and the third some figs, nutmegs, &c. In the shoe of Cain were found a counterfeit sove reign, half sovereign, and half-crown. Ths prison ers were locked up, and inquiry was immediately made about the property found under such suspici ous circumstances. The LORD MAYOR observed to the prosecutor that it were much to be wished that a watchman was kept upon premises of the kind, for the pro tection of the property, and that the neglect of adopting such means of security, threw too much upon the Magistrates and the police. The gentleman to whom the adjoining premises belonged, paid, it was stated, 17s. 6d. per week to an old Irishman to watch their warehouse, but he happened not to be very attentive when the thieves were mounting up to the skylight. Upon being asked by the Lord Mayor how it happened that he allowed the housebreakers to go on with their work, he said that he watched the premises of the gentle men who employed him, but he had nothing what ever to do with the skylight.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, prisoners, what have you to say to this serious charge against you ? Wilkes said that the charge was true, and the three of them were in for it. He was not himself think ing of any thing of a robbery, when Skipp and Cain called upon him, and said that 501. or 601. a-piece could be made by passing down through the sky light. He consented to go. The skylight was ready broken by one of them when he went, which was on Sunday morning about 6 o'clock. The three of them got up to the skylight. Skipp en tered first, for he had been in the premises before, and the other two followed. "We let ourselves down," said Wilkes, "by a rope and a plank, and we searched the place all over. I stole the dial. We broke open the desks, and scotched the place all over, and we were about an hour and a half in the place. We then tied up all the things, went back through the skylight again with our bags, and were going along quite comfortable, when the of ficers came across us." The above confession cantle out voluntarily, in answer to the questions of the LORD:MAYOR, which were avowedly put to obtain all the information his Lordship could get. Alderman SCIIOLEY, who was at the Justice room, for the transaction of other business, seemed to be surprised at the course pursued, and asked his Lordship whether it was not calculated to entrap prisoners into acknowledgments which might be pre judicial to them. The LORD MAYOR said that it was his determina tion always to question persons charged before him with offences ; that he considered it very great non sense to caution prisoners not to say any thing calcu lated to criminate themselves, or to induce them to say they were not guilty, when they knew in their consciences they were guilty. In his opinion, such conduct was opposite to reason and common sense. Alderman SCIIOLEY appeared to disapprove of this doctrine. The LORD MAYOR asked Wilkes whether he was aware what might be the consequences of this affair to him ?—I am sure I don't know, said the pri soner, with a stupid smile. Well, Skipp, said his LORDSHIP, what have you to say ? Is all this true ?—Skipp admitted that they had plundered the warehouse, but declared that he had nut seduced Wilkes, but that, on the contrary, that prisoner had said he would join in the robbery the moment it was mentioned to him, and no per suasion at all was necessary. Cain said that it was the first bad thing he had ever attempted. He used to work at the new Lon don Bridge, but had had nothing to do for some weeks. He was asleep in bed when the two other prisoners came to him, sent for lialf-a-gallon of beer, and told him of " this here job," and he made up his mind to be in it. The officers said they knew Wilkes and Skipp to have been in trouble before, but they knew nothing of Cain. The LORD MAYOR—I must send this case to a Jury, and I would advise you to collect your friends on the occasion. As for Wilkes's communication, I am very glad that I received it. Cain—Please you, my Lord, I never done any thing of the kind before, and I don't wish none of my friends to know nothing at all about it. The prisoners were then fully committed for trial. MARY LEB ONE. Henry Rial Page, James Black, and Henry Harris, were all three charged with stealing a piece of oilcloth from the shop of Mr. Job, 5, Charlton street, Somers-town. In the pocket of Page, the policeman found the following note ; " Newgate. " Dear Page,—lf there is any of the hung-beef re maining that was left at Mrs. Mangirs, it would be very acceptable, at least let us have our share. lam now living on the prison allowance, and have not a penny in the box. You are very unkind—you could come to see us every day if you liked. lam at present unwell, and under the doctor's hands.—Give my love to Eliza, and believe me your's, truly, J. E." The prisoners were remanded till Monday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.— William Ashwick ,an elderly man, of decent appearance, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Hancock and Rixon, glass-manufacturers, No, 1, Cockspur-street, of a quantity of valuable cut glass articles. The prisoner, having declined to offer any defence, was fully com mitted. CAR-DRIVERS.—A cab-driver having been fined for being drunk, and conducting himself riotously on Sunday evening, the landlady of the Lemon Tree, Haymarket, came forward to ask Mr. CONANT what course she had better adopt under the follow ing circumstances :—Her tag-room had been taken possession of by a gang of cab-drivers, who con ducted themselves in a most scandalous and out rageous manner ; in fact, assuming the complete mastership of the place. Disturbances were fre quently occurring, and she could get no policeman to interfere, as they had special orders to the contrary. Mr. CONANT advised her to turn the rioters out herself.—The applicant was convinced if she made the attempt, her life would be endangered from their violence. As this was the only course suggested by the Magistrate the applicant withdrew. W OR SHIP- S TREE T. Kum DISTILLATION.—Yestetday George Leach and James Thompson, the former a young man, and the other between 40 and .50 years of age, were brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. BROUGH TON, by Gater and another Excise officer, charged with working a private still. The officers about noon z— Sunday went to No. 47, Seward-street, Brick-lane, Having information that the occupants were "jigger men" (i. e. private distillers), and carrying on an extensive traffic. In a sort of lobby, which they entered by forcing the outer door of the premises, there was a ladder lead ing to a room over the gateway, which they found well fitted up as a still room, with tubs and other utensils, containing molasses, wash, manufactured spirits &c., and a still of larger dimensions then at work. As they ascended they could hear the par ties whom they had disturbed rushing out of the place, and were just in time to see the younger pri soner disappear from another ladder, through a hole in the ceiling. The prisoner Thompson, who is a stout heavy man, was seen under the roof of the ad joining house, stamping with his feet and endea vouring to force his way through the ceiling. alter immediately went into the next house, and looking into the upper room, where a young man was in bed, saw the ceiling shaking, and pieces of lath and plas ter falling, and presently afterwards the prisoner, Thompson, broke through, and fell into the arms of the officer, who led him down stairs captive. The other prisoner was caught shortly afterwards coming out of the same room, seemingly unaware that his companion had been captured. The officers said that they both smelt so strongly of the still, that they scented the whole of the next house. Mr. BROUGHTON convicted them in the penalty of 30/. each, and, in default of payment, sentenced them to hard labour in the House of Correction fur three months. SECOND EDITION.

This, by some of the Learned Gen tlemen, is considered equivalent to an attack of the tic doloureua. A Cinntcli PARSON.—In addition to the bereavement of both father and mother, Mr. BARI-fast, a few weeks ago, lost a very fine horse which he had only r.cently purchased. These circumstances have all created a general sympathy in this neighbourhood for Mt. B. ; and as might have been expected caused a good deal of conversation. A few days ago several villagers of not 100 miles from Kendal, were talking the matter over, when one of them said, " Dear me, what a dreadful ca lamity to be deprived of both father and mother so unex pectedly, and so shortly after each other!" In thi s coterie was the parson of the place, who immediately re plied in his usual gruff manner, "Mr. BARHAM will think the loss of his horse the greatest calamity l" The thoughts of men cannot by any possibility be known until they are expressed ; and, we thick, every one that knows Mr. BARHAM, will agree with us, that lie has never shown either publicly or in private that be was not pos sessed of those affections which are almost invariably in herent in our nature—but, on the contrary, that he was possessed of them in an eminent degree. Yet, here we have a parson ! a pretended disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus! ! the shepherd appointed to watch over a large flock, and to inculcate the principles of morality and reli gion within their breasts !!! diving into the inmost re cesses of the heart of a distressed individual, and with a callousness of feeling which we had hoped was not to he found in the breast of an Englishman—inflicting one of the cruelest and most abominable wounds that it is possi 'ale to conceive—by publicly insinuating that Mr. BA toast is so deficient in filial affection, as to lament more for the loss of a horse, than for the death of his nearest arid dearest relations ! 1 ! This from a parson, too. What an amazing quantity of Christianity there is in the expres sion. What a heavenly disposition —what piety—what go , iti will to mankind—what purity of thought—what virtue of mind—does not this passage prove this said par 800 to he possessed of. Verily, many of these sleek, well paid members of the Establishment honour us, as a natior, exceedingly.—Kendal Chronicle. " WESTMINSTER ELECTION. " At a Meeting of the Committee of the Electors of West minster, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, on Saturday, November 10, 1832, " Resolved,—That this Meeting has assembled in the belief that his Majesty is about shortly to exercise his Constitutional prerogative of dissolving the present, and convoking a new Parliament. " That this Meeting has witnessed with perfect appro bation the conduct of the Representatives of Westminster, more especially in the support given by them to his Ma jesty's Ministers in the struggle to obtain a Reform in the Commons' House of Parliament. " That this Meeting, feeling it incumbent to return men whose past conduct gives the surest pledge for the future, request permision of Sir Francis Burdett and of Sir John liobhouse again to propose them as Representa tives for the city of Westminster. " That copies of the foregoing Resolutions be immedi ately forwarded to Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John flobhouse." The Committee sit daily at No. 43, King-street, Co vent-garden. The following letters, addressed to the Electors of Westminster, have been received in reply : " St. James's-place, Nov. 15, 1832. . _ _ " Gentlemen,—The Resolutions agreed to by a meeting of Westminster Electors, at the Crown and Anchor, the other evening, were duly transmitted me by Mr. De Year. " Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in stating that I willingly accede to your request; that it is highly gratify ing to me ; for, besides the strong claim you have upon me for exertion whenever you deem it useful, I am proud, and I think justly, of the connexion which has so long subsisted between us, the origin of which I can never forget. lam particularly so on the present occasion, on which, as on so many others, your conduct appears to me well worthy the consideration of the country at large. I do not now mean to enter upon any of those great topics which engross public attention, as the doing so would far exceed the limits of this Address; I will, therefore, con fine myself to one of immediate interest, and with relation to which there seems to me to exist, and very generally, great error, and in allusion to which I commence this Address. " Gentlemen,—lt is the subject of pledges, with re spect to which a mental epidemic seems to prevail, highly injurious to the public cause ; a system of self-deception, by which knaves are taught to catch fools ; a diseased appetite in the people to be promise-crammed accompa nied with a fatal belief that promises may be relied on when honesty cannot. You, Gentlemen, with your accus tomed judgment and feeling, have altogether avoided this folly, for what else but folly can it be called to place reli ance on sham security? " Gentlemen,—This pledging system appears to me to have in it a quality directly the reverse of that which is attributed to mercy. Instead of being twice blessed, it is twice cursed ; it injures both him who gives and him who takes; in fact, it is playing a game at which knaves are sure to win; for who are the persons who will be the most ready to pledge themselves? Will it be the prudent, the conscientious, the candid, the well-informed—in a word, the trust-worthy? Or, will it he the rash, the ig norant, the knavish, the reckl..ss the unprincipled ? Is it possible that at this g one of pledge-making and pledge taking honest men should not lose, discountenanced ? Can it produce evidence of any thing except rashness on the one side, and suspicion on the other ? But, although it can affard no security, it is far from being indifferent ; though it can do no good, it may and must do great harm. It is a false coin that ought not to be allowed to pass cur rent with the public; its tendency is not to expose or to hind knavery, hut to render honesty inefficient. Who can doubt that a person being pledged detracts greatly from his weight and authority ? Wbo can doubt that if he is so sent to a deliberating assembly, he will be natu rally and rationally listened to with distrust, and eyed with suspicion ? Thus your champion is sent forth with a stain in his escutcheon—a knight without his spurs— marked recreant before he enters the lists. "There is a story told of the late Lord Mansfield when Chief Justice of the King's Bench, that he thus retorted upon a Counsel, who, in a very marked and angry tone, told him that he entirely differed with hint in law and opinion : his Lordship replied, To be sure you do—l know that very well; you are paid to do so.' And this, or to this effect, will the pledged Members sent to the next Parliament have probably the mortification frequently to hear, and the disadvantage to feel, and the difficulty of giving a satisfactory reply to. "At the same time, Gentlemen, although I feel so strongly the objections to this pledging system, let me not be misunderstood. lam far from thinking that Canfli dates and their supporters, Representatives and their con stituents, should not come to a clear understanding one with another. No mystery ought to hang over their in tercourse ; every one should be ready to give a reason for his faith, and to answer any question that may be thought necessary for the satisfaction of his constituents. With out this free communication and candid exposition of sen timents and opinions, much misapprehension and disagree ment may take place, instead of that confidence and union so necessary to give effect to mutual efforts for pub lic advantage. Our connection, Gentlemen, has been ever conducted on these principles : that it may so con tinue, and continue us united, is my anxious desire ; and it is this which makes me set so high a value on your good opinion, and which so much enhances this last testimony of your liberal feeling and unabated confidence. " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your most devoted and very humble servant, " FRANCIS BURDETT." " Berkeley-square, Nov. 150532. " Gentlemen,—.l have again been honoured by a pro posal to nominate me for the representation of your City ; and, in acceding to that request, I trust I shall do that which will be acceptable to the Electors of Westminster. " The olTer thus made to me has been founded, princi pally, upon my ' support of his Majesty's Ministers in the struggle to obtain a Reform in the Com►nons' House of Parliament ;' and I can assure you, with perfect truth, that it was in order to render that support more effectual that I connected myself with those Ministers. Fully aware of my own personal unimportance, I thought, nevertheless, that it might be of some public service to show, that the powerful and enlightened constituency of Westminister considered the acceptance of office, under such circumstances, no cause for suspicion, but a claim for increased confidence; and it will be to me a source of unmingled satisfaction to the and of my days, that whilst the conflict was at its height, and the event doubtful, I did not hesitate to give, r ml, what was of infinitely greater consequence, I enabled you to give, the best and most decisive proof of perfect reliance on the good faith and the firm resolves of the Ministerial Reformers. " Gentlemen,--As your confidence in the men has been fully justified, so, I am convinced, will your hopes from the measure prove to have been well founded. That a great revolution has been effected, there is no doubt ; but the experiment is not so novel, nor the change so sudden, as some have bem eager to contend. The Bill has lega lized, and given not only just effect but proper limits to that control over the Government which the People of England have long claimed as their right, and ha v e endea voured to obtain, with various success, and by various means, at different periods of their history. Reform, result e d f ro m th e though th e work, as i t were, o f a day, has, in t hi s country,experience of ages. It has furnished us with new means to develop old maxims. It has enabled us to show the value of our ancient principles by applying them to our modern practice. " Gentlemen,—The same law which has held the foundation of good Government entitles, indeed, calls on you, to watch over and direct the superstructure. My thorough conviction is, that the great work will not be trusted to unworthy hands, and that the inestimable pri vilege of choosing a free Parliament will be duly appre ciated and judiciously exercised by a free people. " Those who propose to nominate me for your accept ance have been pleased to say, that my ' past conduct giv,s the surest pledge for the future.' Certainly, after our long-continued iutercourse, any other pledge would he unsatisfactory to you and degrading to me; I have. there fore, only to say, that if you think that security sufficient, I will continue to serve you—as I have hitherto endea voured to do—zealously, faithfully, and to the best of my capacity. " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your very obedient Servant, " JOHN HOBHOUSE." After the reading of the resolutions and the letters, which was ordered to be published, The CHAIRMAN said, that at their last meeting it was understood that they were to adjourn till Thursday next, but in consequence of Colonel Evans being in the field, be had thought it right to call them tcgether immediately. A deputation from the electors had waited on Sir John Hobbouse yesterday. Sir John, however, had been pre viously apprised of their proceedings. He received them with the greatest politeness ; but said to them, " Now, Gentlemen, I can save you a great deal of trouble—l know yonr business, hut I do not mean to pledge myself to any thing." " Then (replied tile deputation), Sir John, you'll lose your seat." " I can't help it (said Sir John), I would rather lose my seat than lose my charac ter ; and as for pledges, I refer you to my previous con duct."—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman then called the attention of the meeting to a letter which Colonel Evans wrote to Sir Francis Burdett, and his reply. The cor respondence is as folliws : " Sunday, 6, Waterloo-place. " MY DEAR SIR FRANCIS,-For some time past various communications have been made to me by Electors of Westminster, expressive of a desire to bring me forward as a Candidate fur its Representation in the next Parlia ment. Last night a Meeting was held on the subject, when, it having been determined to put me in nomination, measures were taken to carry that determination into effect, and I, having acceded to the wishes of the Electors, am now a Candidate, without, as I fully understood, being in any way opposed to you. I hasten to communicate this to you, " And remain most truly yours, _ _ " D. L. EVANS. " To Sir Francis Burdett, Bart., 111. P." " DEAR DE VE.ta.,—l herewith Emu: you a letter I have received from Colonel Evans, which grieves me much, but at all events the Westminster Electors ought to be aware of it. I therefore enclose it to you, with my answer to it. This I owe both to Hobhouse and the Electors of Westminster ; so, after reading it, have the goodness to forward my answer to him. " I remain yours sincerely, " F. BURDETT. " Nov. 19, 1832." " DEAR EvAxs,—l was astonished at the receipt of your letter last night, announcing to me your acquiescence in a plan for turning Hobhouse out of Westminster. You may imagine my surprise, when I tell you that when the subject was mentioned to me a day or two back, I at once said I was confident there could be no truth in it ; that 1 was certain you would be no party to it ; I cannot there fore, without difficulty, express to you the regret I expe rience on hearing the report confirmed by yourself. Nor can I conceive how anybody can have persuaded you to allow yourself to be put forward on such an occasion ; I am at a loss to guess what public grounds can be advanced in favour of such a proposition, or what public advantage can be derived from it; though it is easy to see that much and various disadvan• tapes to the public may. Excuse my speaking freely, for as you have written to me to make known to me the pro ject, with an appearance that there is no intention of offering me any opposition, it is necessary I should. I therefore say, without any hesitation, that if you were to succeed in turtling out Hollouse, after 14 years' honest, able, arduous, and effective service, it would tend mnch to bring public estimation into contempt; and that as we stand entirely on the same ground, and profess the same principles, and have ever acted so cordially and disinte restedly together, I should much prefer—pardon my sin cerity—to be turned out with him, than returned with any body else. I omit a word which might by possibility be considered offensive.-1 remain your's sincerely. " Nov. 19, 1832." " FRANCIS BURDETT. The CHAIRMAN said that he, as well as Sir Francis Burdett, was much surprised at the conduct of the Co lonel, and was sorry to see him acting a part for some one whom they all knew,a nd who lived not far from Charing cross. There were so many men looked up to him, that be actually treated them as his serv,,nts. He went with Mr. Pouncey to Colonel Evans, and gave him Sir Francis Burdett's letter. He quivered a great deal, and said lie was driven up into a corner; and that if he had not done it somebody else would. Colonel Evans also said that be did not understand the last part of Sir Francis l3urdett's letter ; and he said to him, " Why, in plain terms, it means that Sir Francis would rather be turned out with Hobhouse than serve with you." . Mr. POUNCET corroborated the substance of the con versation with Colonel Evans, except that Colonel Evans did not say he was driven up into a corner ; but that he was in a predicament, and did not know how to act. lie believed that if Sir John Hobhouse had submitted to dic tation, and would have remained a mere tool in the hands of Mr. Place, of Charing-cross, they would never have heard of this opposition. He deprecated Colonel Evans coming forward as likely to endanger the liberties of West minster, and to give an opportunity to a Tory to slip in. Mr. Tiinaszoli said that Sir John Hobhouse had re ferred the deputation to his speeches on some of those subjects to which they wished to pledge him ; but he put it to them—" Suppose I were to pledge myself against the house and window-tax, and Lord Grey should say, We can't go on without it'—what am Ito do? Is the Government to be broken up because the house-tax cannot be taken off?" The gentleman opposing Sir John had been challenged to find any fault with his conduct, and could not ; and on the affair of Somerville, where they pretended to blame him, he deserved mast praise ; for the inquiry would never have been instituted had he not threatened to resign if refused.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, that when Mr. Hume applied to Sir John Hobhouse about the case of Somerville, they agreed that the best plan would be to get his discharge. Sir John wrote to Lord Hill and the Duke of Wellington, and they consented. Wien Mr. Hume called again, he said that he muse bring it before the House of Commons, which was scarcely in accordance with the understanding between them. That delayed Somerville's discharge some time,for if they had given him an immediate discharge under those circumstances, they would have had him up i❑ Lon don, and at public meetings, and a great deal of agitation would have been caused. But he knew that Sir John Hobhouse communicated to Lord Aithorp his determina tion to resign if the inquiry were not granted, and in consequence of that determination it was conceded. Mr. JACKSON said that nothing could be imputed to Sir John Hobhouse by his opponents. All that Colonel Evans could say was, that he did not think Westminster could be fairly represented by a man who was in office. Why, Colonel Evans was himself, in some measure, a place man and a pensioner, as a half-pay officer, though, he be keyed, most deservedly.—(Several observations were made respecting Mr. Place, which, at the reque►t of the Chair man, who pronounced them disorderly, we omit.) In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said that Sir Francis did not object to pledges being required from untried men. Birowx urged on the meeting the propriety of ap pointing a Deputation from that meeting to prevail, if pos sible, on Colonel Evans to withdraw.—(Hear, hear.) After a desultory conversation, in which Mr. Spicer thought that a little explanation was only necessary to secure Sir John Hobhouse, and stated that he himself would bring up four hundred electors, and in which the Political Union was referred to as supporting Col. Evans. Col. JONES and Mr. WALKER entered the room, and the latter gentleman proceeded to inform the meeting, that he had just left a very numerous and respectable body of electors at the Salopian, whose enthusiasm in favour of Colonel Evans was at the height. The electors of West minster had felt great disappointment at the conduct of Sir John Hobbouse. They bad propounded to him certain pledges, which he had refused to give. He then referred to the repeal of the Assessed Taxes, and of Stamp Duties on Newspapers, and to Triennial Parliaments. He thought, that in the situation of Sir John Hobhouse, the elector, had no right to cal on him to originate any of dose mess that Mr. Place was the foundation of the opposition, and said that Lord Althorp had declared to him, that there was not the slightest hostility on the part of Government to the return of Mr. Hume for Middlekez. He thought Colonel Evans had a mistaken object in view, and he (Col. Jones) should at the same time support Mr. Hume and Sir John Hohhause. He knew there was a party who thought all the world wrong but themselves. Some of these were perhaps conscientious, but the rest were most inis:hievous. There was, indeed, a set of insects in tL is town who were offensive only by the stench they them sel►es made. The motion for the appointment of a deputation was then put and carried. Mr. Crouch, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Thurston, were appointed. A Sub-Committee was then named, and the riveting broke up. WESTMINSTER. A meeting of the electors of Westminster in the interest of Colonel Evans, was held last evening at the Salopian Coffee-house, Charing cross, to take into consideration the propriety of putting in nomination a genth.man of truly independent principles for the representation of the City and Liberty of Westminster. Mr. PROUT was called to the chair. Mr. Mlcnts then read the report of a deputation which had waited upon Sir John Cam Hobhouse yesterday, at Richmond, viz , Mr. Thomas Miehie, Mr. George Moore, Mr. Thomas Milner. These gentlemen informed Sir John Cam Hohhouse that they were a deputation of Westminster electors, commissioned to ask him answers to the four following questions, which were then proposed to him by Mr. Michie 1. As you, Sir John, have maintained the propriety of voting by Ballot, will you move for, or support a motion to accomplish that purpose? 2. As you, in 1322, made a motion for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes, will you repeat that motion? 3 As you were returned to Parliament to procur9 Short Parliaments, will you move for, or support a mo tion for the repeal of the Septennial Act ? 4. As you have advocated the repeal of the 'faxes on Knowledge, will you move for, or support a motion to re peal the stamp tax on newspapers and the excise duty on paper ? The Report stated, that when Mr. Michie was about to read the second question, Sir John stopped him, observing " You may save yourselves any further trouble, I will give no pledges whatever ;" and on its being requested that Sir John would hear the whole of the questions, he objected, saying, amongst other things of a similar tendency, that " he had been the Representative for Westminster for twelve years, and if the people of Westminster were dis satisfied, they had better look out for another to represent them ; he never met any subject with more perfect indif ference in the whole course of his life." The questions were put to Sir John three several times, each of which times Sir John refused to pledge himself. The reading of the Report excited a great deal of indig nation among the gentlemen assembled. Mr. MICHIE then addressed the meeting, stating his reasons for suspecting Sir J. C. Hobhouse, who, he doubted, was no longer the free, unshackled man who had f mnerly been their representative. Mr. ARBER then moved, " That the decided manner in which Sir John Cam Hobhouse has refused to pl-dge him self to carry into effect the spirit of the Reform Bill, entails upon us the necessity of calling upon a gentleman of cha racter and independence who will give that pledge." Seconded by Mr. MICHIE, and carried unanimously. At the motion of Dr. WADE, it was then resolved that Colonel Evans should be invited to come in. Colonel Evans, on entering, was received with great ap plause. The following questions were then put to him :- 1. Will you originate or support a motion for the Vote by Ballot? 2. Will you originate or support a vote for the Repeal of the Window and House Tax ? 3. Will you originate or support the Repeal of the Septennial Act ? 4. Will you originate or support the Aho'ition of the Taxes on Knowledge and the Excise Duties on Paper ? 6. Will: you support or originate a motion fur the Ex tension of the Scot and Lot Suffrage ? Colonel Evatis then addressed the meeting. He said, hat with regard to suffrage, his own opinion was, that every householder ought to have a vote ; but that, how ever, he had been told by several gentlemen better ac quainted than himself with technical distinctions, that scot and lot suffrage would go far enough, as it would be very difficult to find out who, out of the many people living in many houses, might be considered the householders. The ten-pound franchise, though, perhaps, well enough in London, where few houses were under that value, he con sidered as creating a sort of aristocratic exclusiveness in elec- tions in the smaller towns ; but he most certainly felt that the scot and lot suffrage shuld at once and decidedly be promoted. In this, as in other matters, he considered the Reform Bill had not gone half so far as it tnight, with per fect safety, have gone. With regard to the ballot, he cer tainly thought very highly of the principle. The great effects produced in France latterly under the influence of such a system, and the increasing prosperity of America 4 country governed by that principle—are sufficient de monstrations of its superior excellence and eligibility. la his late canvass in the country, he had had occasion to remark the almost absolute nectssity of the protec tion of the ballot to the poor electure.—(Hear.) He thought the Government was bound to bring this measure forward as well as the Triennial Act. With regard to pledges, he would incidentally say that he thought no honest man could refuse to give to his consti tuents a decided promise or pledge of what he intended to do. So far from considering pledges disgraceful to the candidates, be thought them requisite in the present state of things. Colonel Evans would vote for the abolition of flogging—.a practice the most degrading to all partiee-..... 4 practice which never made a bad man good, but which has made many good men bad. He would vote for the repeal of all laws by wh ch individuals are punished for holding particular religious tenets. There should be no legislating between man and Lis Creator. He would vote for the separation of Church from State ; for the appro priation of tithes to their original purpose--the benefit of the people ; and for the reformation of all Church abuses, He was a most decided enemy to all slavery abroad or at home ; the means of abolition of negro slavery were a matter of doubt ; many were proposed, and it remained to choose between them ; but he considered that, at any rate, the immediate emancipation of the children was a most proper and safe proceeding. With regard to compe n _ sation, he altogether objected to it ; be could see no claim to compensation where there was no possible property. Colonel. Evans would vote for the immediate extension of the franchise in the parishes. He would vote for the repeal of Sturges Bourne's Act. He was decidedly opposed to the present Law of Entail. He would strongly advocate the procuring of cheap law for the people. He was decidedly opposed to the Corn Laws The most efficient method of altering thin and several other abuses was a great question ; but he would most cer• tainly use every exertion to procure the repeal of this as well as all other monopolies. With regard to the Eank Charter, he had not as yet exactly made up his mina, Oa x a r el,iadwt reading; o e ; f the subject of the East India monopoly he was better in anti formed, both from personal o bserv se a ed tio aT n ag he felt, that though this trade ought not, from motives of interest to ourselves, to be at once violently wrenched from a Company who had exalted it to such a degree of pro. mn r.ileiiptieciaiatitiotonfy.etthtTehahNtiepit'irhueeiaovyTrtaaeldnnedrtOHlCuoilurtina he considered should certainly be laid open. He should certainly vote for the con sidered most unequally oppressive. A graduated Pro.. perty Tax he thought the best substitution. As to ear. riage windows, those who kept carriages could afford tr 4 pay for the windotva. Colonel Evans then shortlya dressed the meeting on the spirit of his views going subjects. He Intuit say Osat
