TRH IMMO TOR SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday evening a Meeting of the constituents
of Sir Charles Napier and Mr. Locke wee convened by these
gentlemen, for the purpose of rendering to the electors an
account of their parliamentary conduct. Both gentlemen
entered at cossiderable length into an exposition of
all the prominent mewing of the hue warier, and
to reference to India Sir C. Napier remarked:—He did
not say that if his gallant rel ttve had been in India this
mutiny would not have taken place, but, judging from his
qualities, he believed that it would have been unlike', to
have taken place if he had been in command of the army
there. It might be marked if all had been done which could
be done when we heard of the mutiny in India. The
news arrived at the latter end of May. If. in the
Home ef Commons urged on the government to send out •
large frees as fast as possible, and he wee told that sailing
'meek would arrive tn. India'quite as soon as steam vessels.
He said tf that 'wee so, what had we been doing in the led
thirty years? Therwwere absolutely people in the Home of
Commons who believed that. He did not know what, in the
tame of God, they were made of. (" Hear," and chem.)
But so it was ; when be urged that steam vessels could get
out sooner, and pointed out the proper way in which
o.=
should be managed, he wee gook-poohed. They t
it out at last, but • month wee lost in sending out the
troops. He would, however, say for the government that
since the time they began to send out
they had shown extraordinary diligence, and he believer Zi
no nation in the world could have sent out such • body of
troops with such celerity. The honourable and gallant gen-
tleman then at length arguLd that in 1856, lifter
the =penance of the Heenan war, it wee deter-
mined to keep up a proper fleet end =my, but
in 1866, and at the time of the Chinese war, in 1857
(for the happening of which we ought to thank God, for it
had reused the early arrival of troops in India), Lord John
Russell, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Gladstone insisted on re-
ductions, and Lard Palmerston bed given way. He (Sir C.
Napier) was no more in favour of the income tax than any
one of those he addressed, but if they had paid sixpence more
then we should not have to pay a shilling now, for if they
thought that the But India Campny would my the ex-
' pease of this Indian difficulty, and John Bull would not have
to pay, he could aware them it was all bosh. They would
have to pay if they meant to India. Was there an y
one who wished to ere it tip? ("N keep_ o, ne," and cheers.) If
we did give it up we had neighbours who would say, " You
have let Indio, and, by God, we will take something etre
from yeti." (Hear, hear.) He did not merely
cry " Wolf," but he knew there wits danger in the
country's being unprepared, end he earnestly urged
that we should not allow any advantage to be
taken of no in that respect. Let us have e
proper
force; let us bee sour ematitatione Mom AM =MU ;and
let the world ere that although we had rent so many o tour
troop to India we were still able to defend ouroelvee against
all the nations of the world. He believed he bad now
entered into all the neoeseary =editions of importance, except
that jested by the chairman with reference to the Board
of Weeks and the drainage of the metropolis He knew
nothing of the Board of Works, but he believed they had
done very little, and all he could say was that if cholera
was approacbing every proper promotion should be taken
to avert such a pestilence. Referring once more to parlia-
mentary reform, the hon. and gallant gentleman urged that
what was wanted was • real and thorough and not •
wishy-washy reform, and above all one which would
include the ballot, which wee
indimeneable and =Nebel
to any such reform. In conclusion he =premed •• hope
that his constituents were melded with his con-
duct is parliament, in attending to the ietereeta
of the borough, end the general questions relating to
the government of the country, and above all for his atten-
tion to that which concerned ;the profeedon to which he
belonged, the Navy Estimates, with a view to see that the
money voted for the navy was properly exded. ha long
so he had health end strength lie would beat their service,
but If at any time they thought he did not do his duty, he
would be reedy to render his trust into their bands. (Cheery.)
Mr. Locos followed with sentiments of a like nature, and
having proceeded at some length to stato that in the next
session parliament would have to deal with the difficult
=option of the future government of India, expensed his
belief that the ;moment emergency had st least (milted the
attention ef the people ef England to the "object of ndia,
end that as in the case of all our other pmetraions Ind
that attention wee once roused, the settlement of the ques-
tion would in no long time be attained.
Both gentlemen were most cordially received.
A reeolution, expressive of " satiefaction at the manner in
which their members had performed their duties, and of con-
fidence in them for the future, and also of an opinion that
the time had arrived for the extension of the franchise, vote
by toilet, and abolition of church rates, sa well us an esitur-
sem of support of All memureecaletileted to place the govern-
ment of I.na on a more secure, footing, and to remove that
country from all future machinations of tentieners end mur-
derous fanatieism, end urging the just puuiehment of the
criminate who had been guilty of such unparalleled atroci-
ties on our countrymen, and their wives and children," wee
agreed to, and the meeting &metaled.

POLITIC.AL DEMONSTRATION AT OBEAT
YARMOUTH.

A reunion of the liberal party. most numerously
attended, was held yesterday at Great Yarmouth, at which
Mr. Young and Mr. Mellor, the members for the borough,
were present. Both gentlemen entered into a statement of
their political conduct during the brief period of their con-
nection with the borough, and expatiated more fully upon the
all-absorbing topic of the day, our Indian struggle. Di-
lating upon the question of vengeance with regard to the
atrocities corowitted by the same, Mr. Mellor said :—The
so-celled King of Delhi, one of those miloreants to whom we
have been paying a subsidy of 160,0001. a year, hoe now for-
feited it; and I trust that there will be no miserable, weak,
pnaillanimotta forbearance with reference to this man, or
making terms with him. Let us save 150,0001. at allam events,
and if we catch him let us hang him forthwith. not for
Indiscriminate vengeance. God forbid that should take place,
but we have something to do end to avenge. There meet be
stern justice dealt out to these =tauten*, aa they must be
taught the lesson that although they have been pampered and
Indulged by the British government, this has not been the
case because we hewed them, but because we were anxious
that the judos of our role should always he apparent, It
wee for thb that we pandered to the week
neseee of those who
were benefited by our rule, but have not had the sense to
it.
si'Clateservices of both gentlemen were cot dially acknow-
ledged, and a toast to the health of Mr. M`Cullagh and Mr.
Watkin, the ex-atembas, was most eathapisatically received.
