THE CITY.

Although the conquest appears certain and easy, the
Reformers are sparing no efforts by which to secure it.
Two meetings were held last evening, at which the four
Liberal candidates attended. The first was at the White
Hart, Bi3hopsgate-street, at which the electors of Bishops-
gate Without and Within, Lime-street, Langbourn, and
Broad-street, and the Livery of London residing in Shore-
ditch, Spitalfields, and their vicinity, assembled in great
strength. Mr. Stevens presided, and a series of resolutions
expressive of attachment to the Crown and Constitution,
and of a firm determination to support the four Reform
candidates, were unanimously agreed to. The second
meeting was at the College of Physicians, where the electors
of Farringdon Without and Within, Castle Baynard, and the
parts adjacent, attended, and where the statements of the
Liberal candidates appeared to afford the utmost satisfac-
tion. It was suggested by one of the meetings at the
White Hart, that the opportunity for revising the Pension-
list in the first session of the new reign should not be lost
sight of. The suggestion was received with great appro-
bation. At the close of the evening Mr. Travers, the
Chairman of the Central Committee, came forward to urge
upon the electors the importance of being present at the
nomination (this day) at twelve o'clock, and at the poll on
Monday at eight o'clock.

WESTMINSTER.
Yesterday there was a most numerous and respectable
assemblage of the electors of St. George's parish, in the
Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. The object of the meeting was
to have the sentiments of the Liberal candidates expressed,
and to take such measures as the parishioners might con-
sider best calculated to secure the return of those who
would represent their opinions and express their wishes in
the ensuing Parliament.
Mr. THOMAS AREER was, in the absence of the Right
Hon. G. S. Bung, called to the Chair.
General EVANS rose to address the meeting, amid en-
thusiastic acclamations. He said that it was a disgrace and
an infamy to the Tories that they did not come forward to
meet him face to face, instead of assembling in a packed
meeting at the Thatched-house Tavern, where no ono was
admitted but by tickets. The attacks upon him as a pri-
vate individual he treated with contempt ; but as fir as
public character was concerned, he thought it was of im-
portance that public men should not be run down by
calumny and slander.—(Cheers.) After entering into a
detail of his connection with the British Legion, which
was received with marked applause, he declared, in
reply to an elector, that he should not, while he repre-
sented 'Westminster, accept of any command under a
foreign power ; nor should he, he said, in answer to ano-
ther elector, accept of any office, civil or military, while
he had the honour of being their Representative. The
only persons opposed to him were the Tories. He courted,
the hostility of the Tories—of those crafty Tories who
used in their placards the name of the Queen, but who
if they hail the power, would not suffer the Queen now to
be on the Throne.—(Hear, hear, and cheers ) The fa-
vourite of the Tories was the Duke of Cun►berland.—
(Loud groans for the Duke of Cumberland.) They owed
to Mr. Hume the discovery of the conspiracy of the
Orange faction in Ireland, at the head of which was the
Duke of Cumberland.—(Three cheers were then given for
Mr. Hume.)
Mr. LEADER next addressed the meeting. In his wish
to uphold the Church and religion he called out for a re-
form of the Church—for that reason he said that the poor
curates ought to be better paid.—(Cheers.) No one
would sacrifice more to uphold the Monarchy than he
would. For his own sake and the people, and for that of
the empire, he would uphold the Monarchy, and oppose
any man who wished to destroy it.—(Cheers.) So much
for the calumnies of the Times. The attack upon him in
the Times was nothing more nor less than a calumnious
lie.--( Cheers.)
The electors present declared their determination to sup-
port General Evans and Mr. Leader by their votes.
The Meeting then adjourned.
