Iseult in addressing you to suppose that you do not wish to

and to have some anon el the regular arm to direct

the WimoMee. we should have mad that such • move-
meet was meet anal* sad would be a most ensfal
thiag for the volanteas airwaves, and we should meet
cheerfully have given every eopport and every meistance to
it. (Chem.) But, if you eat see if I thought as much of the
meting at Brighton, I tell you freshly I did not How-
ever well meant—and I am perfectly coitus it was well
mean and well intended—l have no hesitation is saying
that it was a mistake. and that I would mach sooner have

volunteers should wish to go to Wimbledon ar Wormwood
Scrubs, er may other part whore it might be thought desirable
for them to assemble, there is tanking which my noble friend
at the War-office or myself would not readily do to facilitate
the movement, and to meet your wishes in every way. But
then it is neameary that there should be something like
in these movement'. My pliant friend, Sir James
said that nothing could have been mon properly
conducted than that held-day at Brighton, and that the
be , greatest anxiety was shown the volunteer' le do their
work properly, that great order and excellent system were
shown is brinmng op the various corps together ; but still
it wee • description of drill which to my mind had really no
result. The intention of the volunteers is to be m far as
possible auxiliary to the army. If it should happen that
to-morrow the volunteers were to totalled out for active duty
they would be associated with the army. Therefore, why not
let us so mass to become accustomed to those (Intim which

times, aid whoa the micessitsse of the time may require ?
We ought toaceustons ourselves now to what we should be
celled upon to do then, when we should be arodated with
' the army. (Cheers.) But lam told that the Hone Guards
throw every obstacle in the way of the volunteers. I ask
you if my presence here is not the best answer to that most
extraordinary eletennet ? (atesee.) I am glad to perceive
that what I have suggested has been accepted by yogi Is
that spirit of candour aid frankness in which my remarks
have been amid. (Cheers.) Some persons have said that
it would he a very good thing if some arraogernent could be
made which would admit of the volunteers associating with
the troops at Alderehott or elsewhere. I should rejoice
see suck an arrangement made. I think it would he an ad-
mirable Wag far the various corps. (Cheers.) The only
objection I see to II is, that I doubt very much whether the
members el the amps have theaeoeseary time or coevenienes
fir leaving their homes and ordinary occupations for more
than twenty-four bean at a time. That s a very serious
coneideratioe. Upon principle the volunteer movement isa
local 0615 and anything which takes pace far from their homes
Is objectionable on account of the inconvenience which it
would sated, and which I should strongly deprecate. It is
very atertomy that the volunteers wish Hunt that to beeline
bat it may be only a minority who are of that opinion, and if
prepared it might be o by the majority. and I think
the lam proposals are made which may lead to doubt or he-
@intim the better. However, so far as that is concerned, if you
think it would be an advantage—end I certainly
believe it
would be—and you can spare the seeersary time for it,. so
far as we—the military—are concaved, we should relevo•
to see yea at Aiderabott. (Cheers.) Your presence there
would bed great utility, as you would there see what the
officers are expected to do, mad what the troops are
called epos to perform is the field. That would no doubt
be of great advantage to you. Though I do not approve
of such meeting, as that at Brighton, I should, at the same
time, be the lint to sopped any movement of the sort I have
referred to. (Chrism ) As oee of your comrades, and
hrottla dear the reputation of the regiment of which I am

several commanding officers present, I also take the op-
portuoity of mying that the ormatar have e greatly indebted
to them for the exertions which mode in this
morainal. It is a movement which, if kept in doe
bounds, as it ought to be, and I hope will be, is a most in-
valuable one—(eheen)—but, upon the other hand, it most
be kept Ia doe bouode„ for it is impossible to allow every
person to do meetly as he pleases, for if this is permitted
we shall get into a state of hopeless confusion. Any move-
ment of the sort which is not properly and thoroughly

would be if conducted upon thew great principles of orga-
studies earl order which consulate the strength and the
impaction of ear military foram (Cheers.)

REPASSZNTATION OP MARYLIMONE.
--•--

The returning officer has fixed Wednesday next
for the nomioation of candidatte who are desirous of the
honour of representing this borough in Parliament. The
nomiustion will take place, se usual. on hustings erected at
the Mot Portiasd-pnos. There are now five candidates in
the all of them professing liberal rine 4.les, via. Mr.
leld.,Harvey Lewis, Mr. Wingrove Cooke, Mr. Harper Twelve-
tress, kr. P. Autehmuty Glover, end Mr. J. C. Marshman.
The address of the latter gentleman will be found in our
column. Both Major Lyon and Cekmel Hamill, have de-
clined to be put in Domination. la order that there should
not be anything like a split in the liberal camp, Mr. Harvey
Lewis has eopressed his reading.' to abide by the decision
of a public meeting of the electors convened for the pur-
pose ; but there will be scarcely time for such a poceethoc.
A meeting is oonvened fee Monday evening at Lowisou s
Rooms, over which air Jams. Duke, M.P., has been invited
to preside, for the purpose of discussing the position of the
borough, nd the proper steps to be taken to secure the
return at a candidate who will ensure the cordial co-opera•
tion of all classes of reformers. No conservative candidate
has yet been announced.

A public meeting of the electors was held on
fiatto evening at the Maryleboue Literary' Institution,
for as pinion of bowleg Mr. Harvey Lewis expels
ha political sentiments.
Mr. J. A. NICHOLAT presided, sod haring expensed his
rreeggrrestt at the circumstaarms whieli bad sensed the reeigeation
of Mr. Edwia James, said the duty now devolved epee the
actors te nests manseer to that patiuman, ea he bed
with other reformers endeavoured to seek a candidate who
would be Wm', to represent the liberal interest. He had
beard Hr. Harvey Lewis until the preview evening,
although be bad before heard of his great private worth and
exoelleot character as a thorough liberal and a candidate on
the reform interest for Hell. Having bad the candid and
manly atnightforward exposition el Mr. Lawiiii political
principles, he felt et ones he was such a man as the great
borough of Maryielicore required to repeewut them in par-
liament, and he inhesitatiagly gam is his adhesion to that
esalleman, sad hail determined to give him his support.
Haulm Lewis, on presenting himself. was well re-
ceived. He announced himself as a thorcugh•going and
staunch reformer' one who considered that the people of
this country wereby no means properly reponseted la per-
liament. He considered that there ought to be a very loge
addition to the electoral lista, and with that extension of
)ofe franchise he was desirous of seeing the nemopmainia
the Pilot. (Hear, hear.) He would do all he coal to
afore, economy in the expenditure of the state. He was
sure they Dons of them wished to grind down the public
expenditure to starvation point, or impair is any way the
efficiency of our public departments ; but at the same time
there should be a rigid supervision and control in anorthic-
log bow the public money was spent, and in check-
ing extravagance. (Hear, hear.) As are identi-
fied with the industrious classes in feeling, sad heria[ with
them an identity of interest from ho whim,siocY
they send him to parliament they might deprod wpm his
earnest aid seam attention to their biesene. Forth-
nately he (Mr. Lewis) was in such an iadopeedest position
se to require so favour from any goverment that abhor

always he dielatergefred. With respect to do neseasnix, be
considered it rapetrously unjust that reennith naiad

plause. He said he stood before the elector. of Maryleloce

He was not a violent or an extreme use, bat he regretted

electors, and stated that the prospect. of Emcees were
highly encouraging.
Rev. Dr. BURNS then addressed the meeting, and
said that he had for many years enjoyed the pleasure of Mr.
Twelvetreee' frieadsbip, and that lie had long admired him
as one who was always " first and foremost in every good
