SOUTHWARK.

Last evening a meeting of the electors and non-
donors of this borough leek plum et Barrel's Hotel, London-
bndge, for the purpose of hearing tits statement of Mr.
Lochs, one of the present members for the borough. Dr.
Challice was called to the chair. Mr. Locke, in his address,
mule reerence to the Ism niseatin of retina brought in by
the ministry, sad of the is-ma:Maio* defeat it suffered. He
had objected to that till on the first night of its introduction,
on the ground that it disfrimehised the large body of the
working dames, sal Imams he knew that It would be most
distasteful to the eonstitemmeiss of all large boroughs. He
considered, fished of the inieleitere dissolving the house, it
would *ye been nark mom maid to have not only with-
draws that bill bed to have resigned their places ; bat
how long they might Imp _theta lifter the return of the
new parliament he (Kr. lurks) would leave them to say.
He wanted to know why a man having a home, even a
ledger, should not have a vote t He wished to see every
Konen man is that4csitkm * which he Is so justly entitled.
He had ben, ated always weal be, • staunch advocate tor
the ballot, wink Its bed rent hors daring, not very die-
taatly, made we et these benefts es much deetred. He
boiler* there was not owe thing that they would find fault
with that he had done during the time he bad been In the
hones, end he could but users them that he would, if main
returned as their reprematatln, Mlll matinee to dfsakmgs
that duty, sad he treated that the °mildews they bed
I. him they would again canoe him with. A rote
7apipploval of Kr. Locke's retrainee, coaduct was car-
ried amid greet
• meeting was lest night at the Lecture-hall, Fair-
er's% Southwark, to hear an address from Mr. Arley
Pellstt. Mr. Rada occupied the chair. After a resolution
in favour of Mr. Pellatt u a candidate for Southwark had
been carried, that gentleman addressed the meeting. He
mid that if the electors looked back upon hie pest conduit
they would lad that he had votei the right way. (Hear.
hear.) He had no objection to King, Lxda, and CMOMOIIe,
but, at the same time, the inters sue of the bees of all—the
people—bad to be looked slur. (Chasm) The ballot was,
no doubt, very desirable, but without a oonsidersble extession
of the franchise It was worth nothing. (Hear, bear.)
His opinion was that all lodgers who bad heed six
months in the same house, and who .paid 2e. 6d. pee
week, should bo entitled to the vote. There wen clergymen
who lived in lodgings had no vote, while their clerks end
sextons had. He had always been an advocate, while in the
Home of Commons, for cutting down useless expeuditun,
but he bad never bean niggardly enough to object to the
roper sums being voted fur the &Amos of the country. Mr.
Pellet, having alluded to the efforts he had made to benefit
the working man, concluded by expressing hie courted*
that the men of Southwark would place him at the top of the
poll. Mr. Bishop moved, and Mr. Smith seconded, the sub-
joined resolution, was carried sew. cos : That the
valuable end oonseri perdue sendured by Mr. Pellmt
during the live pen of his parliamentary experience is the
guarantee for hie eaten oentind, and this mselingpladges
itself to use every minim he *sore his esteem." The pro-
ocodisis terminated with a vote of thetas to the chains*,
and three cheers for Mr. Apeley Pollan.
