ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday a meeting of the friends of Mr. R. Wigram
Crawford was held in one of the smaller rooms of the
London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting measures to
secure the return of that gentleman as one of the repre-
sentatives of the City. Between 150 and 200 octanes
were present, including Mr. W. J. Hall, Mr. John In-
gram Travers, Mr. Joseph Cooper, Mr. Henry. Bateman,
Mr. Thomas Box., Messrs. Charles Gilpin, Stephen
Baker, Potter, John Hoppe, William Piper. &c.

to decide. They had a third candidate in the person of

poration interest, which required as much reform as the
neeons itself.—(Loud cheers.) The corpo-

or whether they should invite one of the candidates to

Mr. H. B
had just fallen from the chairman, there could be no
doubt entertained by any one as to the intention of the
committee to go on with the contest on behalf of Mr.
Crawford. tie assured them that the committee were
determined to go on with it and fight it out to the last.

was nn contest against
Sir James Duke or
Mr. Masterman.
But it was felt that in the person of
Mr. Crawford they
had a first-class Loudon merchant,
and an advocate of Liberal opinions—a gentleman who
was in favour of carrying out the principles of free
trade to their legitimate extent—who was in favour of
vote by ballot---who was opposed to all endowments
for religious purposes—who was well acquainted
with the mercantile interests of this great city—
who had rendered good service to those interests by
the manner in which he had acted as deputy-chairman
of the committee for investigating the abuses of the
Customs, and who, moreover, was prepared to speak
and vote in favour of the admission of Jews into Parlia-
ment; and the friends of Mr. Crawford, feeling that it
would be a satisfaction to have such a man to represent
them in Parliament, had determined to give the electors
of expressing their opinion on the sub-
an opportunity
ject, whatever might be the consequence to the other
candidates.--(Cheers.) The present contest had arisen
entirely out of the attempt which had been made by a
certain portion of tee Liberal party to dictate to the
electors in the matter, and especially from the fact that
the public meeting which was called some time ago to
consider the question was swamped by outside men
coming in and spoiling the deliberative character of the
assemoly by hooting and hissing, and making the
greatest tumult, for the purpose of securing the re elec-
tion of the three Liberal sitting Member?. Some of
the earnest and hearty Reformers of the City having
witnessed these unworthy proceedings, were determined
not to submit to such dictation, and, in accordance with
that determination, they at first proposed to bring for-
ward Mr. Home, as the exponeet of free trade and
liberal opinions in the City; but, while they were
employed in carrying out that resolution, another
Cody of gentlemen, who bad also been dissatisfied with
what they had witnessed, but who were not aware of
the proctedings he had just referred to, were engaged
in getting up a T., vision to Mr. Crawford. He (VEr.
Bateman) had the requisition pr: si-nted to him in his
own counting-house; aid not knowing much at that turn,
about, Mr. Crawford, or the persons who were moving in
his behalf-, he declined to sign it. But fleeing, upon in-
quiry, that Mr. Crawford was a good man and true,
whom they would have themselves selected if they had
known bias before. he and his friends at length agrf ed
to support him. Mr. Crawford, however, in the midst
~f the toils by which he was beset, was persuaded that
by
allowing hi.nself to be put forward, he would only
disturb the Liberal interest, and might displace some-
body whom he would not like to displace, and conse-
quently he felt himself obliged to decline to comply with
the requisition. But this did not satisfy a large number
of his supporters, who, when they had seen what kind of
a man he was were unwilling to lose him upon any such
feeble pretences. They had accordingly resolved to
persevere in bringing him to the poll, and had the
satisfaction of being able to inform the meeting that
Mr. Crawford had declared that if they elected him
he would consider the election as the greatest honour
that could be conferred upon him, and that he would
certainly accept it.—(Loud cheers.) In these circum-
stances he hoped the electors would place Mr. Crawford
at the top of the poll, and indeed he might say that he
had no more doubt that Mr. Crawford would be placed at
the top of the poll on Wednesday than he had that he
( \lr. Bateman) was then standing in that room.—
(Cheers and hisses.) He wished the meeting distinctly
to understand, however, that Mr. Crawford's committee
were not canvassing against any individual. The mem-
bers of that committee had all their owe individual
opinions; but they would ask nobody to vote for Mr.
Crawford and leave any other particular candidate out.
They thought it right to leave each Liberal elector to
judge for himself as to which of the other candidates he
should reject.—(Cheers.) Mr. Bateman concluded by
moving the following resolution:—
' That Robert %Vigrata Crawford, Esq., from his high
position and character as a London merchant, as also
from his declared political sentiments, is in every sense
eminently qualified to represent the city of London in
Parliament, and the more especially at the present pe-
riod, when a free expression of public opinion of this
great city is demanded on various subjects affecting the
welfare of the nation at large, and the metropolis in par-
ticular; and that the gentlemen present at this meeting
be added to the committee, to adopt and carry out the
necessary measures to insure Mr. Crawford's reann."
Mr. LuTeneas seconded the resolution.

Mr. HlctiAßDs, amid many interruptions, said a few
words in opposition to the claims of Baron Rothschild.
He would vote for no man, he said, who lent his money
to support foreign oppression.
Mr. GILPIN said that perhaps his own feeling was not
very different from that of Mr. Richards; but this meet-
ing having been called to consider the claims of Mr.
Crawford, and not those of the other candidates, they
should, he thought, confine themselves to that.—((:beers.)
The resolution was then put and declared to be car-
ried, with only a few dissentients.
Mr. A. WALKER asked why they should not have
four good candidates? He was sure they cowl carry
four as easily as one.—(Cheers and opposition.) Lie
was not satisfied to have Sir J..Dulto palmed upon him
as his representative. Sir James bad voted in favour
of the taxes on knowledge, which of itself Was sufficient
to condemn him. Then, with respect to Baron R ahs-
child, he thought the cause of the Jews would be
strengthened in the House of Commons by the election
of another equally independent man. With respect to
Mr. Masterman he asked why.thq should elect a Tory,
simply because he was an amiable man? There were a
great many amiabl. men —(Cheers and hisses.) As re-
garded Lard John Russell,
he believed that such an able
administrator could not be spared from the House of
Commons. Mr. Walker here Intimated, that as several
gentlemen beside him were Unwilling that any thing
should be said against the other candidates, he would
say no more, but resume his seat.
There were then loud and repeated calls for Mr.
Travers, whin he seemed unwilling to obey. The calls,
however, basing been persevered in,
Mr. TriAvEas at length came forward and said, that
he had much rather not hava appeared in the public
prints as having been present at that meeting, to which
he had, in truth, come merely
as a bystander. If they
must know the truth, the fact was, that his name and
that of Baron Rothschild had been so associated togetherto
during the contest for the return of that gentletanauy
Parliament, that if he (Mr. Travers) were
