REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK.

A requisition signed by a number of master engineers
and other large employers of labour having been pre-
sented to Sir C. Napier, that he would favour, tbem by
expounding his sentiments at a private meeting at which
none but electors should be present, Sir Charles at once
acceded to a request emanating from so impor'rant a
portion of tho constituency, and last night was set apart
for the purpose. The place of meeting was a commo-
dious apartment in Nelson-square, known as Turner's
dancing-rooms, capable of accommodating about 300
persons, and at the hour appointed it was filled with an
influential audience, which, though a trifle less demon-
strative in its expressions of approval, was to the full as
unanimous and enthusiastic as any of the large public
out of-door meetings at which Admiral Napier has at-
tended.
Mr. Amos, of the fire of _Easton and Amos, having
been called to the chair, said that the gentlemen around
him, having found it inconvenient to attend large public
meetings where there was much crushing and difficulty
of entrance, had resolved upon inviting this candidates
to attend at that place to explain their sentiments.
Both had kindly expressed their readiness to do so, and
an appointment with Mr. Scovell had been made for
Thursday next. Sir Charles was then present, but,
under the altered circumstances of the canvass, it was
not probable that the meeting on Thursday would take
place. With this brief explanatory introduction he called
upon Sir C. Napier to explain his political views.
Sir C. NAPIER said that, when he had the pleasure of
addressing a very large meeting upon the previous even-
ing, he little expected that things would have taken the
turn they had, and that Mr. Scovell would have thought
proper to resign the contest. He could not say, how-
ever, that he was sorry that the hon. gentleman had de-
termined upon that course, because to continue it lunger
could only be to keep up a great excitement, to lead to
no satisfactory results so far as the retiring gentleman
was concerned, and, in short, to do no good either to
Mr. Scovell, the constituency, or himself. (Cheers.) He
bad been invited to attend there that evening to meet a
select number of electors, who, of course, had great in-
fluence in the borough. He responded to their invitation
with great pleasure, and should have done so with equal
satisfaction had Mr. Scovell still been in the field. The
object of the meeting was, no doubt, to hear from him a
statement of his sentiments, and be shoald endeavour to
recapitulate them as briefly as possible while he varied
his language so as not to prove wearisome. To com-
mence, then, with the first and most engrossing topic—
the war. He was convinced that the country
.was una-
nimous in desiring the continuation of the war until it
should be brought to a happy and successful termina-
tion. (Cheers.) What that termination must be he
left to Ministersio decide upon their own responsibility;
because he did not think that a meeting of that descrip-
tion was exactly competent to decide with what amount
of humbling of Russia the country should be satisfied.
(Hear, hear.) He was quite sure, from the proceedings
of the present Government, presided over by Lord Pal-
merston, that they would not make an inglorious peace.
If they did make an inglorious peace, or attempted it,
they would soon find that their tenure of office was at an
end. (Loud and continued applause.) The hon. gentle.
man in the chair had asked him befure the proceedings
commenced whether he was a descendant of the great
Napier of Merchistoun, who bad invented a machine for
destroying any animal within a circuit of nine miles,
and three feet high. He believed that his worthy an-
cestor had invented a machine of that description ; but
he had thought that there were weapons enough of
destruction in his day, and so he carried his invention
along with him to the grave. Whether he would have
done so had he lived in the present age was another
question. (Hear.) However, Lord Dundonald, better
' known, perhaps, as Lord Cochrane, who in his younger
days was the scourge of the enemy and the admiration of
the navy, bad a means of destroying—he was going to
say every living being—nearly as high as his great an-
cestor could have dove. Lord Dundonald had brought
his invention before different Ministers, and his secret,
although intrusted to a great many men, still remained
in abeyance. Among others he had communicated it to
him (Sir C. Napier), and, having given his utmost atten-
tion to the subject, he must say that he really believed
that Lord Dundonald could accomplish all that he had
stated in the papers. What was the reason of the Go-
vernment for not adopting it he could not say. Perhaps
humanity deterred them, or perhaps a fear of failure. He
could not admit that a fear of failure was a good excuse,
because the effects of a failure would fall entirely upon
Lord Dundonald, who was the inventor of the plan, and
who offered to carry it into execution, and no upon the
Government. Whether it was a humane invention or
not he did not stop to inquire; but when we went to war,
the best thing that we could do was to put an end to
it as soon as possible ; and probably, after all, that was
the most humane course which soonest brought a great
war to a close. (Cheers.) He (Sir C. Napier) had
been called an old loan ; but Lord Dundonald was 10
years older, and yet ho ventured to say that that noble
lord was possessed of as touch zeal, energy, and nerve
as any man in that room. He should not be at all afraid
to trust himself entirely to Lord Dundonald's care--to
go just as far as he went, and no further. (Hear, hear.)
The gallant admiral then went through the heads of his
political catechism, and declared, as the sum of it all,
that he was not exactly a Whig, and not exactly a Ra-
dical, but something between the two, without a name
—perhaps he might ray that he was between a Whig
and a Radical, with a leaning always to the Radical
side. (Cheers and a laugh.) As ten days would pro-
bably elapse before the nomination, it was just possible
that other candidates might start in the meantime ;
and the names of Mr. James, Q.C., and of one or two
aldermen had been already mentioned. (Cries of
They'd better keep away," and loud cheers) If
they did come forward, the only effect would be
to put themselves and him to trouble, anxiety, and
expense, for he did not believe that there was the
smallest chance of any man in England now succeeding
in Southwark. He had come among them a total and
entire stranger. He had met with more than kindness
at their hands, for he had met with the most enthusiastic
reception wherever he had gone. He ascribed that, not
to his own 11r3rits, but to the resolution which English-
men had when they found a man unjustly treated to
come forward to his support. (Cheers.) With these
sentiments, had Mr. Scovell thought proper to maintain
the contest, he should have gone to the poll in most
perfect confidence that he should have been returned by
a triumphant majerity ; and to any new candidate who
might think of presentbg himself, he said with equal
confidence, In the words of the old Scotch maxim, that
he "had better keep his breath to cool his parritch."
Mr. HAWKINS (late chairman of Mr. Scovell's com-
mittee in this district), a4ted, after some complaint; of
the operation of the Poor Law, if Sir Charles would en-
deavour to bring about an equalisation of the poor-rate
Sir C. NAPIEE said that, while aware that the Poor
Law bad many defects, he could not pledge himself to
do this thing or that thing, and he thought that he
should be a very unfit man for a legislator if he were to
state off hand that he would endeavour to abolish a law
which was the law of the land. All he could promise
was that he would do his utmost at all t:mes to benefit
the poor. (Cheers.)
Mr. Ilawierzes expressed himself perfectly satisfied
with this answer.
Mr. ALBERT then moved a vote of confidence in and
approval of Sir C. Napier. He expressed the obligation
which the meeting was under to the gallant admiral for
having responded so readily to their invitation ; and ob-
served that the gallant officer's explanation bad been so
lucid and satisfactory that, to his mind, it left 'nothing
to be required. If over there were a straightforward,
honest candidate for any place, he believed that they had
one right before them. (Cheers.)
Mr. WHITEHURST seconded the motion, and Mr. Amos
having expressed his perfect concurrence it was, carried
with unanimity.
The meeting, which was probably more significant in
its import as affecting the interests of the candidate than
any that has yet been held, concluded with the customary
compliment to the chairman, and three hearty cheers for
the "hero Admiral."

CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—Yesterday a Court
was held, at which Mr. 'Heywood read a report on the
♦arious plans which have been submitted for the inter-
oeption of the sewage of the metropolis. The report
was ordered to he printed and circulated.
FlRES.—Yesterday morning the Duke of York Ta-
vern, in Turk-street, Bethnal-green, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire. Four houses adjoining the premises
were seriously damaged.—Another public-house, the
Fleece, in Ma,sham-street, Westminster, nearly shared
a similar fate.—The veneer-store of Mr. Conned, timber
merchant, Church-street, Bethnal-green, was totally de-
stroyed in consequence of a half-spent rockot falling
into it.

DARING ROBBERY.—James M`Kee, a private in the
75th Regiment, was committed by the county magis-
trates for trial for robbing a jeweller's shop in High.
street, Chatham. The fellow dashed his arm through
the plate glass window, and made off with all be could
lay his hands on. _ .

RUSSIAN PRIZES.—The following vessels, captured in
the Black Sea, were yesterday condemned at the Admi-
ralty Court :—The Nicolo, Michael Archangel, Achil'es,
Ayos Joannis, Buona Fortuna, Ercule,
Calliope, Con-
stantine, Ayos CaralamboE,, and the Aspasia. The Pal-
las, seized in the Baltic, was also condemned.
----

RIOT AT JULLIEN'S CONCERT,—Two young men,
named Newbret and Cole, were fined 2/. by Mr. Jar.
dine, for interrupting the music. The disturbance was
caused by a number of foolish young men forming them-
selvas into a ring, and throwing halfpence, hats, and
bandkerchiefs into the centre—afterwards closing in
upon any unlucky a !venturer who might be impludeut
enough to attempt to pick them up.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(rhis Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
BOLD V. HIITCHINSON-JUDGUENT.
The Lord Chancellor gave judgment today in this
case, the arguments in which were concluded on Satur-
day last. The case came before his lordship on appeal
from the. judgment .of the Master of the Rolls. The
question in the court below turned on the marriage set-
tlement made on the marriage of the plaintiff, the Rev.
Hugh Bold, and Miss Theedoria Frances Hutchinson.
The Master of the Rolls decided in favour of the plain-
tiff, holding that, notwithstanding the settlement con-
tained no covenant on the part of the father, his assets
were liable to make good the :representation made by
him as to his daughter's intended fortune, ber husband,
the plaintiff, having survived her.
