the NoWe Lord had since carried out were of a
petty, tinkering character. The celebrated Durham
letter was a disgrace to any man, but above all to one
calling himself a statesman, and though they might
still cling to the others, he hoped the electors would
send Mr. Crawford to replace either Lord John. Russell
or Sir James Duke.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BENRY BATEMAN seconded the nomination of
hit r. Crawford as a person who was in every way well
qualified to be the representative of a free and great
city like that in which they were now assembled. Mr.
Crawford was a straight forward, honest English mer-
chant, and whatever might be the result of the show of
hands today, his friends were determined that he
should go to the poll.—(Cheers.) Mr. Crawford was
in favour of the ballot; he would vote for the admission
of Jews into Parliament; he was favourable to an ex-
tension of the franchise, and went far beyond any of the
Other candidates in his notions of free trade.—(Cheers.)
'Resides all that, he was a highly-educated man, fully
Conversant with our commercial system, and he was con-
vinced if the electors ransacked the whole country
though they could not find a better or more abler man
to represent them in the next Parliament.—(Cheers,)
His opinion was that Lord John Russell was used up, or
he would have made the admission of Jews into Parlia-
ment a Cabinet question, and being used up it was folly
to think of returning him agaie.—(Cheers.)
The last speaker was received with very great disfa-
vour, and ultimately he was foreed to retire. There
being no other candidate to propose,
Lord Joust RUSSELL stepped forward and was greeted
with 'repeated rounds of applause, which lasted for several
minutes. When silence was restored he proceeded to
stay that he appeared before them to solicit a renewal
of their confidence, but he need not confess to them that
he was a friend of civil and religious liberty.—(Hear,
hear.) He had proposed to Parliament, and with success
too, the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts; while,
so far as free trade was concerned, he had done his
share in carrying out that great change in our commer-
cial policy.—(Cheers.) Both in (Ace and out he
had been a cocsistant supporter of Parliamentary re-
form, indeed, be proposed and carried the largest mea-
sure of Parliamentary reform that had ever passed the
British Legislature, and, if returned to power, he was
prepared still further to extend the operation of the Re-
form Bill. (Cheers.) Why then should they seek for
a substitute in his stead? He had never forsaken a
pledge or betrayed his trust to the country, while he had
done his best to break down all religious disabilities that
stood in the way of a man entering Parliament.—(Hear,
hear.) That, however, was a question which a minister
could not deeide; it must be left rather for the people to
dispose of it, and if the people spoke out resolutely
the -Legislature would be found no obstacle in the way
of the required reform.—(Elear, hear.) The present
Government, he need not remind them, was favour-
able to protection, but in his view there was
no necessity to return to any such restrictive
system.—(Cheers.) The people since the adoption of
free trade had been much better off, and he would defy
any one to come forward and say the people were worse
off because their bread was cheap.—(Hear, hear.) In
his opinion, therefore, he thought a return to protection,
even in the case of sugar, was impossible, and he hoped
the country would speak in such a manner as to prevent
even its proposal.—(Cheers.) With regard to the ques-
tion of the Parliamentary franchise, be need scarcely
repeat to them that he was strongly in favour of an ex-
tension of the suffrage by enlarging the basis of the Re-
form Bill, and although he had been attacked upon this
subject today, he would not take up their time by reply-
ing to these criticisms, but, confessing that in the course
of a long political life he had committed many errors, he
would throw himself upon the generosity of the elec-
tors to decide whether he had not throughout
_
the whole of his career been a staunch supporter of
civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers.) It only remained
for him to say that he should still adhere to the nrin-
ciples he had hitherto professed, both in
and out of
office.—(Hear.) Ho would never allow any interference,
_
with the supreme functions of the Crown, nor would
_c7_
punish any man for his religious Opinions, but Bll°'
him full civil and religious liberty with himself.
Mr. BENNOCN wished to know.if the Noble Lord would
support the ballot ?

good reason why the same rule should not apply to our
Parliamentary proceedings. He was aware of the evils
which" prevailed in the existing system, but secret voting
would not cure'
them.—(Hear.)
Mr. BENNOCU wished to know next how far the Noble
Lord was prepared to extend the suffrage?—(Near')
Lord JoRN RUSSELL said that would depend aeon
the
wants of the country and the views that other men
were likely to support; but he would recommend the
electors not to tie their representatives down to any
saw
particular pledges, to act like automatons, but to leave
them open to obtain as much reform as they cos
Baron ROTHSCHILD briefly addressed the electors;
but he at once confessed that be had nothing hew to add
to that which bad more than once been addressed to them.
He stood there as the uncompromising representative of
civil and religious liberty,—(Cheers.) lie was favour-
able, decidedly favourable, to free trade, and ready to
vote, when he had an opportunity of doing so, for an
extension of the'suffrage.—(Cheers.) He therefore had
little hesitation in. calling upon the electors to vote for
for
him tomorrow. Neither statistics nor long'
speeches
were necessary to show the advantage of
free trade;
that man must be blind indeed who could not perceive
the benefits which had accrued to this country during
the last five years under the ittuence of unrestricted
Commerce, and he now demanded that the electors of the
metropolis-of England should tell her Majesty's Govern-

although be had been attacked for his connexion, with
Austria, he begged to state that he was not ashamed of
what be had done, and he again called upon them to
put him in a position to enjoy the same rights and pri-
vileges as his fellow men.--(Cheers.) ,
Mr. MASTERMAN next presented himself, and was
greeted with a tremendous burst of cheering' He said
he had never shrunk from the duties which his office as
a representative of the city of London imposed upon
him, and if they honoured him with a renewal of -their
confidence, he could assure them that he should not
relax in his exertions to promoie the interests of the
city of London.—( Hear, hear.) Be was favourable to
civil and religious liberty in every sense of the phrase,
and thanking them all for the reception they had
awarded him, heloped they would return him again to-

He came to London many years ago, havin-

adrift from the service of his country, and with the aid of
upright conduct and straightforward dealing he had
worked himself into a position, but he was sure the
electors of the city of London would not despise him the_
more for that, and again he solicited their support at the
poll to-morrow.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CRAWFORD deeply felt the spontaneous manifes-
tation of feeling which the city of London had displayed
to him during the last week.--(Hear, hear) He did not
come forward on his own acoount; he was not a willing
candidate for their suffr,ges, bat he could not so utterly
disregard the feelings of his friends as to openly oppose
their wishes, and therefore he was content to remain in
their bands--(Hear.) He should say nothing in his
own favour, but leave the matter to be disposed of by the
electors and his friends.-0100
