DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN FINSBURY.—Lent
night • very numerous meeting of tbe electors end non-
electors of this borough was held at the British School-room,
Cowper-street, City-road, for the purpose of hewing en ad-
dress from Sir 8. Morton Pato. The meeting was fixed Sat
eight o'clock, but long beLre that hour the large
echool-room, capable of holding nearly 3,000 poop* Tam
Oiled, and a glance at the character of the meeting,
and the strong disputes which were being carried on
by numerate groups in every pert of the immense
arena, presented unmistakeable evidence the' the
honourable baronet was milt to have is all his own
way. St. Lakes and the might ourhood is, as is well
known a very populous district, • great portion of which
is inhabited by persons of extremely radical opinions.
end upon the appearance of 81r 8. Morton Fete, a popular
outburst indicated that the whole proceedings would be
mess ly in dumb show. Mr. R. Martineau took the
chair at eight o'clock, and, amidst a scene of indescribable
uprosr, appeared to Mt-roles, the hon. candidate, who
presented -himself over and over again without the
slightest probability of being heard. At one stage of
the proceedinp . than ware at least fifty excited men
and -boys standing on the towhee, vociferating at the
top of their rebte, while dose against the platform
a fight was taking place. One person was seined with
sub a sudden fit of tattle ism, that for 031110 ten
minutes he stood on his legs, shaking his flat in the face
of the bon. candidate. Bills were held or, drat-
lare were thrown &boat, and such a scene has not bean
witnessed since the good old days of the Westminates
&mikes. Men in fustian n and foe the chatter, bats were
knockei cd, end the ffrehension vas that se tsdiscrisol•
nate fight would take Owe. It was in vain that Sir Morton
Pete addressed the beau roue 3,000—they were doterrained
mot to bear anybody, sad tho hon. baronet contented himself
with Wading that ft was evident the meeting was not one of
St. Luke's district or Finsbury, but • packed•
one, end retired
' from the routs. Imtordidely afterwards • tenon rushed in
a most infuriated manner on to the chairman's table, and at-
-1 tempted still further to excite the meeting. A general mr/es
ensued, which terminated by many of the gastittiegs being
, torn down, the darkness causing the crowd to disperse.
