FINSBURY.

Mr. Duncombe attended a meeting of his constituents
on Thursday evening, at his Central Committee-room, Bel-
videre Tavern, B. J. Armstrong, Esq., in the Chair.
T. S. DUNCOMBE, Esq., then presented himself, and
was received with enthusiastic cheering. We regret we
have not space to report his speech at length.
A vote of thanks was then carried in favour of the
Chairman, and three hearty cheers, and one cheer more,
for the honourable candidate, of whose return, we rejoice to
say, there is not the shadow of a doubt.
An extremely numerous and respectable meeting of the
electors of Finsbury was held yesterday at the White
Conduit House, to take into consideration the best means
of securing fit and proper representatives to represent the
borough of Finsbury in the ensuing Parliament.
Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR being called to the Chair, said,
on the last occasion he was not a supporter of Mr. Wakley,
but he had the greatest pleasure in coming forward now to
express his satisfaction at the manner in which Mr. Wakley
had discharged his duty during the last session of Par-
ilament.—(Loud cheers.) He should be delighted to see
Mr. Wakley returned as their representative in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Duncombe, who stood on the same prin-
ciples.—(Loud cheers.) There never was a time when
unanimity was of more importance than the present.—
(Cheers.) There never was an election since the Reform
Bill had passed in which the interests of the people of these
kingdoms were so deeply involved as the present.—
(Cheers.) The great characteristic of the Tories was bad
Lith.—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. AK VN LEY came forward and was received with loud
cheers. When he commenced his canvass five years ago,
who would have believed that be would now stand in the
situation which he occupied? The Tories might talk of
opposition.—(A laugh.) It was the most contemptible
thing he had ever heard of.—(Loud cheers.) Instead of
being a blew it was merely a tickle to remind them that the
Tories were i.ot yet dead. In the great contest of 1832
the Reformers had polled 9,600 to 2,300 Tories.—(Loud
cheers.) Were they prepared to become Hanoverians ?
(Hissing, groaning, and cries of " Never !") He was sure
they would not.—(Cheers.) The Tories talked of being
Reformers.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !") Had the electors of
England forgotten the days when the duru,seoni were filled
with Englishmen who dared to petition for Reform.—(Loud
cheers.) Had they forgotten the circular of Lord Sid-
mouth ? Had they forgotten the Castlereaglis
vials of those days?—(lmmense groaning.) The Tories
were pursuing a desperate garner hut, the Reformers of this
country were too strong, and the people were too en-
lightened to be led away by the fslia and miserable pre-
tences of the enemies of all Reform. He had been blamed
for not carrying the principles of Reform sufficiealy far.
He had gone into the House of Commons as a Radical
Reformer, and the principles of Radical Reform he bad
ever cherished, and ever would cherish.—(Cheers,) But
be was also a practical Reformer,--(Cheers.)

A resolution expressive of the unqualified satisfaction
which Mr. Wakley's conduct in Parliament had given was
unanimously agreed to, and the meeting separated.

LAMBETH.

A meeting of the friends and supporters of the Right
Hon. Charles Tennyson d'Eyncourt was last night held at
the Turk's Head, Mr. M'Leod, of Stockwell, in the Chair.
The Right Hon. CANDIDATE addressed the meeting,
which was most numerously end respectably attended.
Having referred to seme few questions which had been
raised, Mr. d'Eyncourt said he differed from Mr. Welford
on the subject of universal suffrage. Assuredly the present
state of society did not allow of that principle being carried
out. He deprecated in the strongest manner the advocacy
of universal suffrarre, hut maintained that household slit-
frage was a constitutional principle—it was a constitutional
right of the people of England. With reference to the im-
portant subject of Church-rates he had been asked whether,
in the event of there remaining any surplus revenirc...of the
Church, after iippling it to the purposes of educe Lon,
he
was prepared to appropriate it to the public sei vice. Li
answer to this, he would say that the principle oa which lie
acted was, that Church property was public property. The
Right Hon. Gentleman next adverted in strong and elo-
quent terms to the conduct of his Majesty the King of Ha-
nover ; and having alluded to the fact of his destroy inn the
constitution of Hanover as confirmed by the late George
IV. and William IV., proceeded to draw the conclusion,
that in the event of the Toties coming into power, the same
efforts would be made to violate the rights and privileges of
a free and enlightened people.—( Hear, hear.)
. A resolution, declaring the Right Hon. C. T. d'Eyncourt
and Benjamin Hawes, jun., fit and proper persons to repre-
sent the borough in Parliament, and approving of their con-
duct, was then passed.
A meeting at the Waterloo Arms, Camberwell, was also
held in the afternoon, which was (even in that Tory haunt)
most numerously attended, and a resolution was there
passed, expressive of the determination of the electors to
support Mr. d'Eyncourt. The enthusiasm which prevailed
at both these meetings was such as to justify the most ex-
aggerated expectations of those who are really and truly
Reformers. At the meeting at the Turks Head the pro-
ceedings concluded with three times three cheers for her
Majesty, and three cheers for d'Eyncourt.
