Mr. Bigg in the chair. Mr. I. L. STEVENS read letters from Mr. Hawes, M.P., and Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P., stating that they could not attend any meeting on so short a notice, and especially on Thursday night, as they were necessarily engaged otherwise, and because the notice calling the meeting was signed by nobody. But they would be happy on any occasion, after due notice, to attend any meeting of the electors duly and respectably called. Mr. Stevens then read, amidst much confusion, a letter from some of the electors calling upon Mr. D. W. Harvey to become a candidate for the borough, and was proceeding to read Mr. Harvey's answer, but the noise and clamour of parties calling out " Question," and " Authority for writing," were so great, that The Rev. JOHN BURNET rose to beg the meeting would permit the proceedings to advance quietly, as be came a deliberative assembly. Without resuming his seat he proceeded to move, " That Benjamin Hawes, Esq., having recently voted against the entire repeal of the corn-laws, the extension of the suffrage, and the rate paying clauses of the Reform Act, and in favour of cor poral punishment in the army, the vote to Maynootb, and the Government plan of education ; and having ac cepted office as a minister without consulting with his constituents, had forfeited the support of the electors." He was opposed to votes from Government for objects for which Government was not instituted. He did not object to another receiving that which he would take himself. He would refuse a pension for himself, for his schoolmaster, or for his brethren in the ministry.—(Con fusion.) He did not object because the vote named went to the Catholics. He would not have the Independents endowed ; he did not wish that he should get the money of the Catholics, and why should they come and put their hands into his pocket ? It was for the indepen dence of England that this should be the doctrine and the practice of her Government and her people. He trusted the meeting would desist from noise, and delibe • rate on the resolution calmly. Mr. FULLER, an elector, seconded the resolution. He considered that Mr. Hawes had pledged himself to vote for the entire and immediate repeal of - the corn-laws. He had done so at a meeting held on a former occasion in that room, but when Mr. Villiers's motion was intro duced, and when the House divided he went into the lobby with the Government. Mr. Hawes had continu ally professed to be the friend of civil and religious liberty. But how did he act on the occasion of Mr. Duncombe's motion for the repeal of the rate-paying clauses ? He was in the Ilouse on that occasion, he was in the Conservative gallery, and would hare sneaked out, but Lord John Russell wanted his vote, and he had time to get round to the door of the House to vote with the 58 majority who threw out that liberal measure. He might go through many other votes by which Mr. Hawes showed himself opposed to many of the principles to which he had pledged himself, and acted like a lackey of Lord Joh❑ Russell. The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution, and said he would be glad to hear any of the supporters of Mr. Hawes in reply. Mr. GRADY came forward, and said he felt so confi dent of the high merit and consistent conduct of their Member, that he only wished an opportunity to be heard. He said he disliked the intolerant bigotry of the resolution, and ho would not be turned from the real question before the meeting by it. He then read an amendment, to the effect that the long and consistent services of their Member, Mr. Hawes, for the last 14 years in favour of the interests of the borough and the country were such, that certain questions, imprudently urged forward upon the new Ministry on the eve of a general election, would not induce them to withdraw their votes. He said that much had been said of the vote to Maynooth. Was it not right? Did his Rev. Friend have any religion in his heart and not wish to propagate religion? But could they do so without educating the clergy? The Catholics, however, were too poor, and had they no right to receive back that which had been taken from them? He trusted to hear no more of that. But why speak of the corn-laws— were they not ended ?—(Laughter.) And the franchise was ended too, for Lord John Russell was about to bring in a Bill which would clear the franchise entirely. But what was the position of Mr. Hawes? Why, he had been singled out to bear part in an Administration; and o b i y s e , a and question " No, no." ) did they not fe e l it an h onour to themselves, and a fur- H th e er b h ad on b o e u e r a t d o r v r e e a t u fli n t h a rn im Co —( e N r impru dently put forward on the eve of an election, and on which Lord John Russell h a d b een so imprudent as t ask him to vote.—(Laughter and no i se .) He hoped o they would support the amendment. Mr. MEAD seconded the amendment. He thought -they were dealing hard by Mr. Hawes to condemn him for three votes, one of which had been misstated. lie had voted against the income-tax; he had voted for Mr. Duncombe's resolution freeing all trades from the impo sition of the tax; for Mr. Villiers' motion against the corn-laws in 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845; for Mr. Ward's motion in 1842, 1843, and 1845, for an inquiry into the burdens of land; for Cobden's motion for an inquiry into the effects of the protective system; for Lord J. Russell's motion for the reduction of the duty on sugar; for Sir John Easthope's Bill for the abolition of church-rates; for Ward's motion on the Irish Church; for the Maynooth grant; and against Mr. Roebuck's motion for a purely intellectual system of education, telling the country that he would vote for no education not based upon religion. But the fact was, the present movement was one suggested by Dissenters, and with a view to strike, not at political dereliction, but at the advance of the Church of England. Mr. MACLEOD and Mr. Biowx afterwards addressed he meeting. . . Mr. Fea objected to the way in which the meeting had been called. It had been called by nobody knew whom, and on a night when they were well aware Mr. Hawes himself could not attend. The Rev. J. BURNET replied. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment to the meeting, and declared it to be negatived by a large majority. Mr. THOMAS HARVEY then moved, as an amendment to the original resolution, that this meeting be adjourned for a week, that the Members might have an opportunity of being present. The. CHAIRMAN put the amendment, and declared it negatived. The original resolution was then put and carried, not more than some ten hands in a very crowded meeting being held up against it. The Rev. Mr. MIRAMS then moved—" That this meeting, not satisfied with the attendance of Mr. D'Eyn court on his Parliamentary duties, and as he had refused with Mr. Hawes to attend this meeting, disapproved of that course, and his probable coalition with his colleague, Mr. Hawes, in future." Some, he said, called that a hole-and-corner meeting; but it was one which Mr. Hawes feared, and of which his friends were apprehen sive, for they had sent circulars to 300 persons requesting them to attend, and had canvassed in the counting houses of the electors. Mr. TUWAITES seconded the resolution. Mr. Daummomp, in answer, defended Mr. D'Eyncourt, as a gentleman who had in every instance striven to reduce the borough rates. It was discovered at this point that Mr. T. Harvey was not an elector in the borough, and his amendment was declared irregular. Mr. DRUMMOND therefore moved the adjournment of the meeting for a fortnight. It was seconded, and on being put to the meeting, was negatived. The resolution was then passed unanimously. of bl r. Mr. E i t a L w l h 0 e N I s v a a s i d , s o a r s rayn to el e t ce tell o l r t h a e n a f m d a s o i r l m e e h r a friend dtol d that gentleman, that he did not think he any longer de served their votes. He hoped they would now put them selves in a better position. He had a gentleman to propose for their suffrages—a gentleman into whose character he had inquired, and found it all that the meeting could desire in a representative. He moved— " That D. W. Harvey, Esq., be invited to become a can didate for the borough of Lambeth." Mr. FULLER seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said the committee who had instituted the present proceedings deemed it proper to write to Mr. Harvey, and the answer might now be read to the meet ing if it was desired. Mr. SrEVENS then read a letter from Mr. Harvey, stating that though a clause had been inserted in the Metropolitan Police Bill for his exclusion from Parlia ment, he would, when it was clear that the electors of Lambeth would return him to Parliament, that moment resign his situation in the Police Commission. His prin ciples were unchanged, and he would, when it was under stood that the electors disapproved of their present can didates, be happy to meet them. A gentleman on the platform announced that George Thompson, Esq., had resigned his intention of coming forward as a candidate for the borough. The resolution was then put, and declared carried by a largo majority. - A vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartiality was then carried, and the m2eting, vi hich had been very noisy throughout, terminated.
