ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

WESTMINSTER,

Last evening a meeting to promote the election
of Mr. John Stuart Mill was held in St. James's-
hall, Dr. Lankester, F.R.S., coroner for Central
Middlesex, in the chair ; notwithstanding the incle=
ment state of the weather there was so full an
attendance that many went away, unable to obtain
admittance.
The CHAIR3IAN, in introducing the subject of the
meeting, said he wished to take no part generally
in politics, but he felt that when such a man as John
Stuart Mill was willing to sit in Parliament it was
the duty of all to endeavour to place him'in a posi-
tion in which his great talents could be employed
for the benefit of his country. Some said that Mr.
Mill should come among them, but then it must be
remembered that Mr. Mill was a man of the closet
and not of the platform, and he was a man who
would be listened to with respect in the House of
Commons, for he was not of yesterday. He wrote

before the Reform Bill passed, and he wrote in

favoui of it. He wrote before the Corn Laws were
repealed, and he wrote in favour of that repeal ;
and if it were asked who had been convinced by this

writer the name of Richard Cobden (cheers) would
be a sufficient answer. Of Mr. Mill's peculiar opi-
nions much could be said, and if they pointed out
that Mr. Mill advocated woman's right to the
suffrage, inquiry would show that Mr. Mill advo-
cated the right of the intellect of both sexes being
represented (cheers), and maintained that the
woman who had intelligence should have the posi-
tion of elector. But let it not be supposed that
any House of Commons of the present day would
be so far advanced as to 'give woman the suffrage.
It was to be wished that such a thing could be, for
it was to be remembered that there was no Salk
law in England, and if a woman was not excluded
from the throne she should not be excluded from

other rights, and if men could cry " Long live the
Queen," they should not dishonour the sex of their
sovereign by opposing John Stuart Mill because he

said that he would give woman the suffrage.

The

candidate whose name was now before them was one
who was recognised as a great thinker in every
country, and among all men, and it was a note-
worthy fact that men of all shades of opinion had
endorsed the view that John Stuart Mill should sit
in Parliament. That great writer and thinker
would not be greater hououred by having the seat
than would Westminster in being represented by
him, and no greater disgrace could come to West-
minster than that the constituency should reject him.
(Cheers.)

Mr. IVIALLEsoN was then called upon to propose
he first resolution, and in his opening observations

he referred to the address just issued by Sir John

Shelley, saying that Sir John had acted very wisely
in withdrawing, and stated that Sir John's friends

had, he 4ad heard, held'a meeting that very night,
at which it had been unanimously agreed to sup-
port Mr. Mill. (Cheers.) The opinion throughout
the country was that if Mr. Mill should be elected
by Westminster, such an event would elevate the
whole of the general election, and do much to wipe
away the stain cast upon large constituencies of
electing men who had more money than wits.
(Cheers.) The resolution he proposed was—
„," That it is due to the position and reputation of the
borough of Westminster that it should be represented by
men who have manifested a publicly recognized capacity to
instruct and guide opinions on political questions, and that
Mr. John Stuart Mill, who, as a thinker on political 'and
economical questions, has acquired a high reputation in
Europe and America, is pre-eminently qualified to serve iu
the House of Commons as a representative for this
borough."

Professor MASSON, who was received with loud
cheers, seconded the resolution. He was forced to
repeat, he said, that Mr. Mill's acknowledged claims
to the representation of Westminster were that he
was a great thinker, and he was one of the foremost

men in this country in all matters relating to politics
and thought upon politics. The speaker dwelt upon
the business training which Mr. Mill received in the

India llouse, and said that the candidate was often
called a :theorist, but put him by the side of many
of those so-called practical men and he would beat
them in mere practicability.
The Hon. L. STANLEY supported the resolution,
and said there were two elections which would ex-
cite universal attention—the one was the election of

John Stuart Mill for Westminster, and the other
was the election of Mr. Gladstone for Oxford, and
these constituencies would honour themselves by
returning these two great men. (Cheers.)
Mr. Serjeant PARRY, who was warmly received,
spoke in support of the resolution. He said he was
not an elector of Westminster, but this was a na-
tional and not a mere local question. He had been
asked " Who's Mr. Mill," and he had ventured a
prophecy that at the next election he would be
