WEST LONDON REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Last tuning a public meeting to promote the
Claims of the inhabitants of f'helsea, Kensington. Hammer-
south, and Fulham, to be represented in parliament, took
eacc at thy Commercial Ilan, King's-road, Chelsea ; Mr.
Tuomax V.K I: 11. in the chair.

In opening the pnweedin,rs, the ellAlltMAN observed
that thee were assembled on this occasion for the purpose
of concerting measures with a view to secure the enfranchise •
moat of this populous district. The government had
already been appealed to, bat they had not yet acceded to
the wishes of the people. It was not a great boon they
asked. seeing that the House of Commons had been sitting
fora long time past with two members short of that num-
b-. which it professid to require to constitute the legisla-
tive body. The population of the district comprised
an amount of wealth and intellectuality which could
not be surpassed in any other locality of similar magni-
tude. It was, therefore, a matter of much surprise
that their request had nut been complied with, but it would
:Mathat government had always attended as little as pm-
tzo the wishes of the people, and it was not until they
found themselves compelled to make conccs.sons that they
ever listened to the s ince of truth and justice. The last two
great questions—namely, the Reform Bill and the Anti-
Corn-law qaestiou, were instances in which the government
would concede nothing, but at hot they conceded every-
thing that was d. sired, and even more. They must, there-
fore, be unanimous in their feelings on this subject, and
continue to appeal to the House of Commons until they
succeed,.d in :iecomplishing their object. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. OASIS IiLL. jun., moved a resolution to the effect,
"That this district, comprehending a population of 130,000,
nialeontributing so large an amount to the public burdens
of the country, ought to be directly represented in
parliament by w it...t two members."
Mr. W. noll'sON, of Hammersmith, seconded the re-
eulution, whieli was carried unanimously.
Mr. T. J. nEttLE proposed a resolutiou, that "the House
of Commons, as at present constituted, does not
repo aent the opinions and want. of the majority
of the nati.,n, and that, without the people are
more fully represented in parliament, no efficient mea-
sures of retrenelunint and good government can be co

peettd."
The motion having been seconded was unanimously
agreed to.
A petition to parliament was then presented fur signature,
and the meeting separated.
