REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH

NARK.

In consequence of the rumours that are abroad that ft
vacancy will soon be occasioned in the representation of the
Borough of Southwark, by the appointment of Mr. D. \V.
Harvey, one of its present representatives, to the situation
of Commissioner of the City of London Police, a numerous
and respectable deputation of the electors waited yesterday
upon Mr. Walter, the late Member for Berkshire, to renew
a solicitation which they had made to him before, wilenrra
vacancy was expected from the appointment of Mr. D W.
Harvey to the office of Commissioner of Hackney-coaches,
and to request that he would allow himself to be put in
nomination as their representative at the earliest occasion
on which the electors of Southwark may be called upon to
exercise the elective franchise. Mr. Day (according
.to

casions to the infamous Poordaw. Mr. Day then read
the requisition.
After which numerous questions were put to Mr. Walter ;
and a desultory discussion ensued, in which Messrs. flux.
ford, Boxer, Day, Harris, Matthews, Wakeling, and
Bright took part. Mr. Harris, himself a Conservative,
had no doubt that Mr. Walter would obtain the support of
the Conservative party ; and Mr. Day said that both parties
would support Mr. Walter. " There are three parties
there—the Whigs, the Tories, and the Radicals. The
union of the Whigs and the Radicals has hitherto kept
out the Tories. Now, if there be a clear understanding
that the Conservatives will unite with us, between us we
will keep out the Whig.'Mr. Walter having previously prepared a written answer
to the application, read the document, which related to
