uncial; on account of his profession, base, because.heing the
relative of the other member for the borough, he could gems
pretty well he would follow his right bon. father-in law's
political course. (Capers.) He also told his gallant friend,
Sir Charles Napier, that, matt as be admired has val itar, he
could not support his election, because all afficers of the navy
and army were dependent on tLe government, and the people
of Lambeth would consent only to be represented by an in-
depeciant man. (Laud cheers.)

of the meeting, when giving expression to the political
opinions he held, and the course which he should pursue in
his parliamentary nether, and was subjected to a rigid exa-
mination by Mr. T. B. Barker and other elecors. In
answer to an inquiry whether he would support any measure
for effecting the separation between church and state, Mr.
Palmer declined to give any positive pledge without
first kaowing the precise nature of the measure by
which it was to be effected. (Hisses and cries of
" You won't do, then, for Lambeth.") To a further in.
quirt', the bon. and learned gentleman also declined to say
whether or not be would support any proposition for the
exclusion of •he bishops from the lionse of LIT6II. (Great
uproar and bison.) Tne deelsration by the learned gentle-
man that he was favourable to the abolition of corpsrai
punishments in the army end navy was loudly cheered.

taprr ass.l
Mr. T. B. BARKER moved, as an immanent, " That
this meeting acknowleaos the superior claims of Mr. Wil-
liams (late M P. for Coventry) to represent the borough of
Lambeth, and pledges itself to accord to him its support."

(Cheeteind
The resolution wu escended by Mr. Tnweints amidst
great uproar.
Mr. liounorsz, M.P., attempted in vain to address the
meeting, and the confusion became " won, confounded."
At length the Chairman put the amendment, and exit a
show of hands upon it and the original motion. For the
latter there wu a large majority, and accordingly it was
declared to be curled, and after thanking the chairman the
meeting broke up.
