CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

CITY OF LONDON.
(In continuation from our First Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. RUSSELL had much pleasure, and considered it a great
honour in being called upon to second the resolution. They
had met that day for the purpose of attempting to relieve the
city of London frc;in the degraded state of a rotten borough.
—(Cheers, and " Hear, hear.") A small party of their
fellow citizens had assumed to themselves the ownership
of the representation; he trusted that his fellow-citizens would
not now submit to the domination—he, for one, would never
give in to it.—( Cheers. )
The resolution was put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. JOHN BARING rose to move the second resolution, which
declared the necessity fur the City of London being repre-
sented by a gentleman of great mercantile experience, sound
political information, and high commercial standing, which
would not only benefit the City of London,ibut the whole em-
pire. We regret, from the low tone of/oice in which the
Honourable Gentleman spoke, that we 'are unable to /data
that he did more than pass a high eulogium upon the
character, and the great exertions of Mr. Palmer, a Bank

Director during the three months in which there had been such
in
e
from his intimate connection with the American trade, which
of
whose
terms,
had suffered most from the depression. In his opinion it
would be impossible for the citizens of London to find a more

able man in any party, or a man of a more ccuriCo._:A
obliging disposition ; and he had great pleasure in affording
him all the support in his power.
Mr. GOCLD seconded the motion. The City of London

All ltantell was t:11t
as Conservative merchants ; lie deserved their confidence Oil
account of the conduct of the Bank, influenced as it had been
by Mr. Palmer. It had saved the country from a crisis which
fro I“.vp be.n of elifearfpl nature. He trusted that it
' was nearly over, ana it so tne noun r}' "le, !ply
indebted to Mr. Palmer.—(Hear, hear.) As a merchant
he thought it wcs most shocking that the mercantile interest
should he ruined by speculative attornies and lawyers. How
co.!!! they letrillate upon mercantile mstters? He would
d 4 innintie fife tllti tit fittil. Th 6 mUttirints of theft
eltr ft!piefittifi liy i Vl•hd had tia tticrtantile
knowledge; hut he had enough, merely ettotigii, fd feriflef him
one of the most violent of Radicals, who had misrepresentd
the mercantile interests.

The Resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
\V!.I. Cori Esq., bait: high testimony to the character
of Mr. Palmer, both in his capacity of Director Of the Rank,
and as a Merchant, but as the Hon. Gentleman was present
he could not allow himself to say as much as his feelings dic-
tateil. Ile and those around him were most anxious to see
the great mercantile interests of the City of London repre-
sented by the experience of such a man as his friend Mr,
Palmer. It was most essential, in order te keep the Repre-
sentative cool from the warmth of political part,zanship, that
he should be free from any political bias.—( Hear, hear,
hear.) Mr. Palmer was that man—he would never give
his support to any Government, however much his feelings
might go with it, which would propose to inflict any injury
upon any of the great institutions of the country. He would
not go into Parliament as the supporter of any Government ; he
would devote his strict attention to the interests of commerce.
He ( Mr. C.) never was a great politician, and so he had been
enabled to see the bad influences which party spirit engendered.
Mr. Palmer was strong in his attachment to the Church, but at
the same time he would maintain the freest toleration of opinion
—he never would consent to break down one essential branch
of the Legislature—he never would consent to the abolition
of the House of Lords. He had great gratification in pro-
posing the Resolution which had been confided to him by the
Committee, which pledged the meeting to give their cordial
support to Mr. Palmer, he being possessed of all the qualifi-
cations necessary for a Representative of the city of London.
C. MILLS, Esq. seconded the resolution, and called upon
all present to devote their time to the election cf Mr. Palmer,
and the triumph cf Conservative principles, Mr. Palmer de-
served well of the city of London and of the empire, and
therefore he trusted they would return him free of expense.
The resolution, like the others, was carried unanimously.
Mr. MASTERMAN proposed a resolution declaring the
ne-
cessity of tho meeting entering into a subscription for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses of the election of Mr. Palmer.
Mr. COTESWORTII seconded the resolution, and called upon
all present not to consiier their duty done ashen they had sub-
scribed towards the expenses of the election. A higher duty
still was, that they should afford their time and influence in
soliciting and obtaining votes for Mr. Palmer, who, both as a
man and a merchant, was eminently qualified to represent them
in Parliament.—Carried unanimously.
The CUAIRMAN then said that the rest of the business being
merely formal, he thought he would be doing the pleasure of
the meeting by calling upon Horsley Palmer, Esq. to state
the sentiments and political opinions upon which he resolved
to seek the support of his fellow-citizens.—( Loud cheers.)
H. PALMER, Esq., then rose amidst loud cheers. He said—
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, 1 want words to express the
feelings by which I am now oppressed.--( Here a gentleman
persisted in keeping on his hat, notwithstanding a general cry
of " hats off," which caused for a few minutes considerable
confusion. )—Mr. Palmer proceeded. I have not one word to
say that will offend either a supporter or an opponent, therefore
I entreat every gentleman in the room to remain.—( Cheers.)
I was proceeding to say, Sir, that most deeply do I
feel the want of words to express the feelings which
actuate my breast when I see myself surrounded by the great
mercantile body of London.—( Hear.) I have no merit of
my own t a claim such a testimony, notwithstanding all the t
has been said by my too partial friends. I will therefore
at once advert to the resolution which you have just been kind
enough to pass, in such a manner that no possible exertion on
my part can ever possibly repay. That resolution, Sir, is con-
firmatory of the requisition which I have had the honour of re-
ceiving—a requisition which I believe to be more numerously
signed than any that has ever been presented to any
man. That requisition, Sir, was a complimentary one, and I
feel bound to come forward in support of those principles
which arc those alike of the requisitionists and myself ; and
I trust that for the sake of those principles you will go on
and render me triumphant, for my cause is identified with
yours. If I have the honour of being entrusted with suffrages
enough to send me to the House of Commons—should
I have any trust reposed in me, I should be most happy and
anxious to fulfil it, even to the utmost of nay exertions and
abilities. I will now proceed, gentlemen, to state to you the
grounds upon which I solicit the support of the citizens of
London. It is emphatically on independent principles.—
(Cheers.) I have no favour to ask of any Government,
and should I have the honour of being placed in Parliament
by your support, I never will ask one—on that ground
I will be independent.— ( Cheers. ) Gentlemen, there is
another species of independence which I feel bound to ask at
your hands. My vote, should Ibe required to give one, must
be as independent as I shall be of the Government. Upon
any question presented to me, I shall exert myself in order to
arrive at the conclusion of truth upon it, and having done so I
shall hold myself at liberty to vote as that conclusion may
dictate.—( Cheers. ) Of course I shall give the strictest atten-
tion to the wishes of the electors of London, legally assembled.
I shall examine the reasons given for those wishes ; still, if I
cannot come to the same conclusion, I must still claim to give
an independent vote. The next point to which I shall call
your attention is this :—it has been the great object of my
life to represent the mercantile interests of the City of London,
in conjunction with those gentlemen, who are freely chosen by
the electors ; that has been my object through my whole mer-
cantile life ; that I am fitted for it my partial friends have
made me believe.—( Hear, hear.) lam free from any vio-
lent political feelings—because it is only in that sense that
I use the words—because, in my opinion, no person has a
right to ask for the representation of any place who does not
pretend to some fixed political feelings of some kind, and with
a determination to use those feelings for the interest and bene-
fit of the country, and not for party purposes.—( Cheers.)
Gentlemen, having said so much, I will now proceed to state
the principles which I entertain. They arc loyalty to the
Queen—( Cheers)—an anxious desire to uphold the Consti-
tution of the country in Church and State—( Loud cheers)—
a determination never to support any measure that will go to
establish any change in the House of Lords.—( Loud cheers. )
These, Gentlemen, are the leading principles which will
govern my political conduct, if, through your active support,
I shall have the honour of obtaining a scat in the House. My
most strenuous opposition would be given to those principles
which have been advocated by your present Members,at all events
by the majority of them—l allude to that measure called
the vote by Ballot.—( Cheers.) I should be most decidedly
opposed to any extension of the suffrage, which is only ano-
ther means of obtaining universal suffrage and annual Parlia-
ments. No person has yet distinctly stated that that is the end
sought for, but I feel certain that it must be the ultimate end
of any extension of the suffrage, and therefore it has my decided
opposition. I will stand by the Reform Bill, which I would most
willingly aid in carrying out in all its integrity towards the
attainment of Conservative ends. Gentlemen, lam no po-
litical partizan. The first object of my life has been to be
enabled to give mercantile advice to the House of Commons
es the representative of the City of London.—( Cheers.) With
respect to the late transactions about which my Hon. Friends
have said so much, I was governed by no other motives than an
anxious desire to promote the commerce and the best interests
of the mercantile community of the empire, and above all to
prevent a great crisis which I saw approaching.—( Cheers. )
Gentlemen, London is my native city. I had the honour to be
born a freeman of the City of London—and I trust I shall
be enabled to transmit those rights and privileges to my
children unsullied.—(Cheers.) Whatever, Gentlemen, may
be the result of the contest in which we are now about to be
engaged, I will carry to my grave those feelings of pride
which have risen within me by the manner in which I have
been received this day. Activity, Gentlemen, activity and
union are absolutely necessary to carry out any great public
benefit—let us have it upon this occasion, and our triumph
will be secure.—( Cheers.) I cannot conceal from myself
that it would be a high, a very high favour to he re-
turned to Parliament by the mercantile interests of the
city of London upon such principles as I have avowed. 1
, believe, Gentlemen, that the time is fast approaching when
there will be a junction of moderate men from alt sides—
moderate men of both parties must approximate. In my
opinion, it would be a great blessing to the country—a great
blessing to Conservatism generally, that Conservatives, whe-
ther Whig or Tory, should be united to oppose the outpouring
of Radicalism.—( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, allow me
most sincerely to thank you for your kindness and your
support. lam obliged to you for the confidence you have shown
in me. Knowing that long speeches would not secure the
success of our exertions, and trusting that those exertions will
be effectual, I beg leave to thank you kindly, and with so
doing I take my leave for the present. The Hon. Gentle-
man sat down amidst loud cheering.
A Committee was then appointed, with power to add to the it
number; and thanks being voted to the Chairman, which being
duly acknowledged, the meeting separated.

The Hon. Miss Cocks, a daughter of Viscount
Ea,tnor, is appointed one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen.

A person named John Carsue, of Skewes, in
Crowan, some time ago lived with a woman to whom he was
supposed to have been married, though it now turns out to be
otherwise, and the result was the birth of a child. On Thurs-
day night, the 29th ult., about twelve o'clock, he went to the
house of the woman's father, at Broadleane, in Breage, and
demanded his child, which is about seven months old ; but the
woman who lives there, and to whom the application was made,
refused to give it up. He, however, took the child by force,
and left the house, followed by its mother, to whom, after pro-
ceeding some, distance, he dealt a blow which struck her sense,
less to the ground. When she regained her senses, she was
horror-struck -te find the innocent babe lying by her side with
its throat cut-ip; a• dreadful manner, and before she could get
back with 'it to, her father's house it was a corpse. The feelings
of the metlfei-overcame her, and she was seized with delirium,
from whiCh .she did not recover for some time. A Corener s
Inquest was ,held on the body on Saturday, when a verdict of
" Wilful MuroSv" was returned against John Carsue, who was
committed.-=. West Briton.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY J.

DUCKLE V. BAINES.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared hi support of the bill. A tes2o,
thm*ed Thomas buckle, entered into a contract ha
1807 fo' fTh purchase of an estate, of which he was im—
mediately let into possession upon payment of the while.
or a greater part, of Ole purchase money. In 1813 he
made his will, devising all his real estates to his two sons,
John and Thomas, as tenants in common. No conveyance
tee buckle of the purchased estate was ever executed till
§nrerelime in NM And it appeared as a fact that the
vendor,, 14as'irig been merely a tenant for life, had not, irs
t7tith, power Is' sell the estate and convey the fee until some'
time subsequent to the date of the will. Under this state
of facts the question was raised whether the equitable in-
terest in the estate contracted for passed under the will of
1813 ? If it. did not, the tiaintiff, who was heir-at-law of
the purchaser, was entitled to it.
His HuNoca said, the decree must be for the plaintiff;
11 but es all the expet.s.i of the snit Was ii:currcd in pursuit of
an ignis Puns the decree must be without costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO IV-STREET.

Three persons were brought before Mr. Mt:cm-rum.,
charged with twisting knockers off hall doors, assaulting the
police, and other disorderly conduct ; and it having been
rumoured that one of the parties charged was the Marquis
of Waterford, a great number of persons assembled in front
of the office to catch a glimpse of his Lordship. It proved,
however, that the gentleman alluded to was not the Noble
Marquis himself, but his brother, Lord William 13t, csjbi
who gave the name of Charles Ferguson. Two other per-
sons were placed in the dock beside his Lordship, one of
whom gave his name Edward Ilowneridey, of No. 41,
James's-street ; and the other, who was equipped in the
garb of a waterman, said his name was George Elliott, and
that he was a coxswain to the Noble Lord.
William Dodd, a police constable, E division, No. 9, was
on duty in Museum-street, between one and two o'clock on
the previous morning, when he saw the two gentlemen at
the bar go up to the house No. 49, and wrench the knocker
from the door. Witness expostulated with them, and seeing
another knocker in the hand of the prisoner Elliott, he took
him by the collar, upon which the prisoner Hammcrsley,
dropped tho knocker which he had just carried off. The
prisoner Ferguson then came up, and said, " It's all right,
old boy," and offered money which witness refused to take.
The two gentlemen then ran away, but were soon appre-
hended, witness still retaining his hold of Elliott. They
were then conveyed to the police station-house, where Fer-
guson refused to be searched, declaring that he would not
submit to such a rascally degradation, and, having said so,
he struck witness. The prisoners were then locked up.
Mr. Wrn. Gibson, of No. 49, Museum•street, proved
that one of the knockers produced belonged to him, and
had been wrenched from off his street door.

Ferguson, in his defence, said he had been up tl.e rivf r
on a boating excursion, and had " taken rather too much
wine." The two other prisoners also pleaded having taken
a drop too much.
Mr. MiNsnum. observed that there were two chervil
against Ferguson, whom he should consider as the principil
offender, and should fine him 51. for unlawfully possessil g
himself of one of the knockers, and 51. for assaulting the
police constable in the execution of his duty. He should
not fine the other two.
Ferguson had no objection to pay .5/. for the knocker,
but as lie denied tho assault, he should appeal against
that fine.
Mr. MINSHULL informed him that there was no appeal
in the case, but he intimated that Mr. Ferguson might go
to prison, if he pleased, instead of paying the fine.
Ferguson—Oh, there is no occasion for that. I shall
pay the money.
Mr. MiNsitum. then desired him to come round in front
of the Bench, and said to him, " I dare say, Sir, you hat 0
money enough at your disposal, but I pray you not to en-
tertain the notion that you can therefore do as you think
fit in the streets of this metropolis either by night or 101
day. You were brought before me recently for a similar
offence, when I fined you .5/., and I warn you that if you*
should again appear before me under circumstances like
the present I shall most assuredly feel it to be my duty--
not to inflict a pecuniary fine upon you, for that is no pll.
nishment to a person in your station—but I shall send yen
at once, as I am authorised to do, to hard labour for two
months in the House of Correction, and you will thee see
that neither rank nor riches can entitle you to the privilege
of committing depredations upon the property of peaceable
and industrious persons, or of disturbing the peace and
quiet of the town with impunity."
The Noble Lord was then handed over to the custody of
the gaoler, and his two companions were discharged. .Eis
brother, the Marquis of Waterford, after visiting him .n
durance vile," released him from his ignoble captivity II
paying the fines.
