REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK;

A public meeting of those electors of Southwark
who are favourable to the return of Lord John Rtis-
sell for that borough, was held yesterday afternoon,.
at the Nag's-head-yard, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the beet means for securing the election
of that Noble Lord. The weather becoming mode-
rate, it was determined that the Chairman should
occupy a place in a large waggon, fitted up for that
purpose, in the yard. At nearly six o'clock Lord
John Russell, accompanidd by (we believe) Lord
William; Rnssell, 1.1. Allen, Esq., and several electors
took their, places in the waggon. There were at
this time about 200 perions assembled in the yard.
. Mi. ALLEN (who, on the motion of Mr. Apthorpe,
was unanimously called to the Chair) briefly stated
to the meeting the object for which they were as-
sembled.. Having such a representative as Sir R.
Wilson, they would consider whether they would
not have a reformer, and one of the greatest and
'molt -consistent in the country.—(Hear, hear:).--
Iptirii John Russell had been fixed upon by several
'electors, and before hie Lordship was aware that
Mr. Calvert would stand, he had signified his assent
to be put in nomination.

Mr. APTHORPE entered into a warm, panegyric on
the great merits of Lord. John Russell as a public
man, and concluded by moving a resolution to the
effect-4' That Lord John Russell possessed most
pre-eminently all the qualities to entitle him,to re-
present the borough of Southwark in Parliament."
This resolution was seconded, and carried unani-
mously, amidst loud cheers. _ _

Lord Joni RUSSELL then came forward, and was
received with loud cheers. When Mr. Apthorpe
first called on him, he thought Mr. Calvert intended
to decline coming forward.—(" No, no.") He did
not' mean to say that such was Mr. Calvert's inten-
tion : he stated only what was the impression on his
own mind at the time; but when he heard from Mr.
Calvert's friends, and from Mr. Calvert himself, that
if elected he was willing to serve the borough, and
that though. he would not consent. to canvass in
person, yet he would attend any public meeting to
explain any part of his public conduct to any elec-
tors who should choose to require such explanation,
he felt it his duty not to stand in opposition to him.
Mr. Calvert's friends seemed confident that if he
were proposed, he must be successful.--(Cries of
"No, no; we won't have him : we will have Harry
Hunt first.") Under these circumstances, he could
not bring himself to oppose such a man. He con-
fessed himself to be a party man. He was opposed
to the union of men of opposite principles as a party;
but he thought the union of public men, cemented
by common principles, was not only fair, but useful
and necessary in the state.—(Cheers.) Again,
therefore, he must say, that whatever might be his
opinion of Mr. Calvert's declining to canvass the
electors, he could not stand against him for the re-
presentation of the borough, and he most earnestly
hoped that none of his friends would mix his name
in any opposition which must be against those prin-
ciples on which he and Mr. Calvert had long
acted together.—(Cheers, and cries of " Bravo.")
He had stated some time back, at a meeting at West-
minster, what was his opinion as to the state in
which he should wish to see public affairs. Eman-
cipation for Ireland, representation for England, and
freedom to the world.—(Cheers.)-ONe of thOse
great measures had been already accomplished in
the extension of religious liberty in these realms—a
measure which was confirmed by the declaration of
his present Majesty from the throne.—(Cheers.)—
On the other measure much yet remained to be ac.
complished; but for any one who watched the signs
of the times, it was not Buying too much to state
that those other measures were in progress, and that
the day was not far distant when one of them—that
of reform—would receive the sanction of the legis-
lature.—(Cheers.)—The Noble Lord, in alluding to
the recent events in France, rejoiced in the conduct
of the French people—(Cheers),—and gloried in
their success. They had found it necessary to re-
form abuses by a revolution, but that would not be
necessary in this country. In conclusion he would
add, that though lie could not have the honour
of being the representative of the Borough in Par-
liament, yet he would always remember the present
day with gratitude, and would do everything in his
power to promote the interests of the Borough.
Mr. APTHORPE then read the next Resolution,
which expressed the deep regret of the meeting at
being deprived of the services of Lord John Russell
in consequence of the intention of Mr. Calvert to
stand for the Borough,—(An elector, " No, no, we
will not have Calvert; he has insulted the Borough.")
When the Resolution was seconded,

Mr. CRUTCHLEY moved, as an amendment—
that this meeting is determined to canvass for, to
put in nomination, and to support to the utmost of
its ability, Lord John Russell, as a representative
for the Borough of Southwark."

This was seconded by Mr. DENT.
Before it was put from the chair,
An Elector said, that as Mr. Calvert declined to
come forward in person, and as the Noble Lord also
declined to stand, let the friends of each canvass for
them respectively, and thus take the opinion of the
borough as to which should be their choice.—
(Cheers, and elks of " No Calvert.")
The amendment was then put and carried with
only one dissentient hand in the crowd held up
against it.
The original motion was then put and negatived.

Lord JOIIN Rtlsstmt, again came forward and
said, that he could not but feel most grateful for
this very decisive proof of their strong feeling towards
him ; but he must say, that he still adher9d to the
opinion he had already expressed, He hoped that
those who did not wish to return Mr. Culvert would
at least fix upon some other independent man.
On the motion of Mr. APTI1011111:, thanks were
voted to the Chairman.

The meeting then gave three hearty cheers for
Lord John Russell, and separated. It rained heavily
during the greater part of the proceedings, but that
circumstance produced no sensible diminution of the
assembly.

ENTRANCE INTO THE PARK FROM CARL-
TON•rALACL.—The difficulties in the way of this int-
porttnt improvement have been at length surmounted,
through the determined perseverance of the Chief Commis-
sioner of Woods anti Forests, anti on Saturday the work-
men commenced their labours. The plan which has been
adopted it very simple, but quite adequate to the public
convenience and comfort. We believe the communication
will be finished and opened before the meeting of Parlint._
ment.—Morniny Chronicle.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the
Honourable Artillery Company, under the command of
Lieut.-Colonel Cox, mustered in the Artillery-ground,
City-road, for the purpose of having a grand field-day.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex having received
the commands of Isis Maaesrv, who is Captain-General
of the Company, to present it with is new charter of pri-
vileges, to which only this ancient body of volunteers arc
entitled, appointed yesterday for the above purpose, and
signified his intention of inspecting the regiment at the
same time. At half-past three o'clock his Royal Highness
arrived on the ground, but in consequence of the delicate
state of his health, and the wet condition of the grass, his
Royal Highness immediately proceeded to the Armoury-
house, and was followed by the whole of the officers and
members of the corps, when his Royal Highness, after a
suitable address, presented Colonel Cox with the charter
of the Company. Covers were laid fur 150 gentlemen in
the grand room of the armoury-house, and at five o'clock
the company sat down to an elegont entertainment, which
had been prepared for the occasion.
