SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND W. T. hiCULLAGH,
ESQ., M.P., AT YARMOUTH.
On Monday afternoon, March 29th, these two gentlemen
met a large body of the Liberal electors at the Star Hotel,
to enunciate their political creed, and to commence an
acquaintance with, the constituency, which it is hoped will
not easily be terminated.
J. W. SHELLY, Esq, was called to the chair. He craved
their kind indulge.nce while he endeavoured to put before
them the business of the meeting. A requisition, numerously

was the man who declared in the House of Commons that
barley-bread was good enough for the poor man ; and
when they saw the son of such a man joined
in unholy Ciliates with the man who kicked
his father out of the borough, they had a right to recollect
why he had ceased to be their member. As to Mr. R -
bold, perhaps, the less they said the soonest mended. He
would not undertake to go through the numerous reasons
why, on account of his short comings and false doings, he
Was unworthy to represent them.
Sir C. NAPIER was received with loud greetings. lie had
come among than in compliance with a requisitigh nume-
rously and very respectably signed, and he was perfectly ready
to hoist the flag of free trade in the borough of Yarmouth,
if he met with that support to which, as Free-traders, they
laid claim. He attributed the fall of Lord John Russell's
Ministry, mainly made up of his own relations, not to the
Militia Bill, but entirely to its own internal weakness,—
the gross mismanagement of the colonies under Earl Grey,
through_whose means mainly the Kafir war was brought
abotttotitar that would cost the country as mach as would.
probably equal the savings effected in revenue last year—the
indiscreet dismission of Lord Palmerston' who was the right
hand of the Ministry. He deprecated Lord John's peddling
measure of reform upon which he had intended to appeal to
the country, and he hoped never to see Lord John back
again with the same Ministry. He declared himself in
favour of a repeal of the corn-laws ; expreaced his conviction
that the question of protection was one that concerned the
landlord and not the tenant, and quoted several instances in
proof that with increased care and improved science agricul-
ture would not fail to improve. If estates in this country
were encumbered by the jointures of dowagers, or the por-
tions of younger ehildren, so that the proprietora could not
hold them the sooner they passed an Encumbered Estates
Bill the better, for then they would get into the hands of
men who would cultivate them as they ought. With regard
to the navigation-laws,he believed they were repealed too
suddenly ; he did not think Mr. Labouchere had obtained
sufficient concessions from foreign powers, bat their repeal
had passed, and Lord Derby had confirmed them; so that all
they could do was to search for means to remedy the evils
they complained of and benefit the shipping. The Crown
had reserved to it the right to reverse those laws to any na-
tion who did not give back the same advantages. In his
opinion it was the duty, and ought to be the inclination, of
their representatives to do everything in their power to pro-
mote the shipping interests of this country, and if other
nations did not reciprocate they would be right
to call on the Privy Council to re-impose the restrictions. The
safety of the nation demanded that the commerce of
this county should be preserved. With regard to reform,
Lord John Russell had brought forward his measure and it
was scouted ; Mr. Hume, when he brought his measure for-
ward, got only 89 votes. Now he went pretty nearly the
length of Mr. Hume, but he was an advocate for making the
extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, and triennial Par-
liaments separate questions.! He was for the equalisation of
the franchise, as he could not see why a man in business
voting for a 10/. occupation should, on retiring to the
country upon the hard-earned savings of his business, be de-
prived of his vote if he happened to pay 6d. less than 501.
a year rent. He deprecated such an extension of the
franchise as proposed to enlarge the pocket boroughs,
of which there were 66, and of which 29 sent
but one member, by adding thereto other pocket boroughs,
and was favourable to the extension of that privilege. partly
to such large towns as were still unrepresented. Sir Charles
went at some length into the expenditure'andnaval defences
of the country, and referred .to his acts when last in Parlia-
ment. Yarmouth had been represented by Admiral Anson,
by Sir John Jervis, and Captain Troubridge, men most de-
servedly esteemed ; and he hoped he might look forward to
the honour of representing this independent borough.
Mr. 11‘Cut.Lacar, in a very effective address, disclaimed
any intention to make professions he did not purpose to
fulfil. He should refer them to his votes in the House
of Commons, and especially to one he gave when
he was among the small minority that opposed
the introduction of the Public Health Act into Yarmouth,
against their own representatives, because be thought every
large place ought to be able to manage its own local affairs.
He had supported the retailiatory clause in the Act repeal-
ing the navigation-laws; he was favourable to, the measures
that had been mentioned by Sir Charles Napier, and, although
himself a conscientious member of the Church of England,
he was a strenuous supporter of civil and religions freedom.
Mr. R. lIAmmIND, jun., in moving a vote of thanks to
the chair, promised to exert himself to secure the return
of the Admiral and his learned colleague, and hoped they
would fight the battle without attempting anything like
bribery.
The meetirg was not a long one, as the parties were to
hold a public meeting in the evening.

AD ELPHI THEATRE.
A farce, unquestionably rather replete with the broadly
ludicrous than inculcatory of strict morality, was played here
for the first time last evening, under the ominous title of
Who Stole the l'ochet-Book? The frais de conversation rests
almost entirely upon Wright, for although Bedford, Honey, and
Miss Chaplin have parts assigned them, they are comparatively
insignificant. (here is nothing very superb in either plot
or dialogue, but the gaggeries of Wright, as Mr. Tomkins
Tipthorp, are irresistible. Mr. Tipthorp picks up a pocket-
book at the corner of Chancery-lane, containing two hundred
pounds, which he spends in millineries innumerable, for the
gratification of his sweetheart, Miss Fanny Smart. Bat his
conscience, or rather cowardice, smites him sorely, the more
so when he finds that the " gentleman in brown," who he
believes is the owner of the cash, is the uncle of the afore-
said Fanny, and with whom he presently comes in' contact.
The agony of Tomkins constitutes the substance of the farce
in which all this takes place, and Wright revels in it. Who Stole
the Pocket-Book? in a word, is an extravaganza not long but
broad ; and loud were the roars of laughter which it occagloned.
After all his grievous misgivings, which he vainly strives to
drown in the rosy bowl, and grotesque blunderings between
him and old Blossom, the application of a policeman causes
the climax of his agony; but it turns out, after all, that the
pocket-book he appropriated was one sent to himself from a
friend, and dropped in the street by a careless messenger,
who, discovering the loss, had proceeded to give inferma-
tionfrom th
thereof at the station-house. Thus, fortunately for
Tomkins, he discovers that he has only been robbing himself,
although the application to his own purposes of the found
treasure seemed, whilst he believed it to be rightfully
another's, a matter of no great dishonesty, and chiefly a
source of discomfort, from the fear of detection.
