enemies of all civil and religions liberty. Already are

testify their admiration for the English army and navy not
only by patriotic sympathetic effusions, not only by toasts

of ail the possible means to Mamie that noble band

souse of the one and to the pound sterling of the other ;
let every hand that can be spared from the field and farm

MR. TOWNSEND, ILA, AND KIS CONSTITUANTS.

Last evening a crowded public meeting of electors
of the borough of Greenwich was held at the Duke of
Oman Tavern, Woolwich, at order to hear an address from
Mr. Townsend, M.P.
The chair was occupied by Mr. EI:OEMS MURRAY, who
observed that the efforts of Mr. Townsend's friends had
removed all doubts as to a vacancy in the representation of
the borough. The proceedings in bankruptcy had been
annulled, and it now only remained for the electors to per-
severe and maintain Mr. Townsend in hie petition es one
who had sprung from their own clue, Who understood their
local wants, and who had proved by his votes that be was an
hotted and unflinching reformer.
Mr. Tow:mann, H.P. we.received with repeated cheers.
He observed—A few weeks since he could not have hoped for
such a meeting as the present. He had been plunged into
difficulties, which appeared at first sight insurmountable
but he should never forget the night when air. honest
working men and other of his true friends from Woolwich.
called at his residence and asked him what steps it was ad-
visable to take for his benefit. He placed himself entirely in
their hands, and nobly had they assisted him. 'The first step
was the holding of a large public meeting at toe Woolwich
Literary Institution, and this meeting convinced him that in
the hour of adversity his friends would not forsake him. At
that meetinghe told them be would resign his mat if re-
quired to do so, but that he would never quit the House
Commons at the dictation of the agents and supporters of Mr.
Montagu Chambers. Their reply had been of a
practical nature; at Woolwich, Greenwich, and Deptford
committees were formed to raise subscription., and at present
he stood before then a free man. (Cheers.) When parlia-
ment again met he should take his me" and nothing _should
be wanting on his part to represent them la a Miladel mop
ner. More especially did he intend to watch over the in-
terests of tho working clams, for it was those classes who
had ever proved his most honest and zealous fnends, and he
had himself been a hard-working man dazing his whole life.
He pledged himself that he would strain every nerve to
prove that he wee not unworthy of their confidence, and he
hoped by
_the utmost industry and application to business. to
be enabled to satisfy every demand of • pecuniary nature. As
it was, he had not been driven from his a, They had
enabled him to keep It, and he would do so until they asked
him to resign it. (Cheers.)
Mr. °norm_ • (who acl,d ea solicitor to Mr. Townsend la
the Court of Bankruptcy) entered into details with regard to
the claims of various creditors, and es rased his opinion
that Mr. Townsend had been persecuted by one or two per-
sons. When he informed Mr. Bagley; the barrister, that
the bankruptcy was to be annulled, that gentleman was sur-
prised, as he stated that he never *noosed a more fierce op-
position than was offered at the first hearing of the case.
- -

Several electors eddreesed the meeting, and strongly ad-
vocated the nemesity of forming en sarocietion in order to
effect a co-operation amongst the friends of Mr. Townsend
in each part of the borough, and it err resolved to convene
• future meeting for thin object.

TAR ADMINISTRATION OP TRH PATRIOTIC FCND.
—The following letter has been seldnimed by the Dake of
Norfolk to Lord St. Leonard's Norfolk. house, Wednes-
day. October 7, 1867.—My Lord—l have Just read your
lordship's letter to the 7Vates, animadverting upon a pastoral
issued by the Must Rev. Dr. Cullen. Idu not write for the
purpose of commenting upon the general merits of the Arch-
bishop's pastoral or of your lordabip'e letter; but I cannot
allow your lordship to continue in the belief that the arrange-
ments of the Patriotic Fund, aa they now stand, @eddy all
classes and every denomination of Christiana. To the
Roman Catholics those arrangements are exceedingly unser-
, iefactory and I shall feel much obliged to your lordship if
you will in the ensuing session of parliament move for re-
turns upon the subject, PO aa to ley before the public the
manner in which the large PO= intrusted to the Commis-
sioners of the Patriotic Fund have been dealt with, and thus
to show how far Catholic feelings have been respected in
their distribution. I feel it my duty to make this statement
with reference to your lordship's letter, and to give it similar
publicity.—l have the honour to be, my lord, faithfully
yours, NORPOLL—The Lord St. Leonard* &c.
