REPRESENTATION OF ABINGDON.

A public meeting of the electors of Abingdon was called
on Tuesday evening, in the County-hall, by Major J.
Haythorne Reed, another candidate, who has made his
appearance in the liberal interest. Major Reed issued
his address to the electors about a week ago, and since
that time he has followed the example of one of the ether
candidates—Mr. Norris in actively canvassing the
borough, preparatory to addressing the electors in
public.
The meeting in the County-hall was numerously at-
tended. Major Reed, who appeared to occupy quite
an independent position, was unaccompanied by any
friends, and, at his request, the meeting selected for
themselves a chairman, the gentleman being a non-voter
—Mr. Williams, of Northcote.
Major REED entered into a statement of the reasons
which had induced him to offer himself as a can-
didate for the borough ; and having proceeded to say
as to the pretensions of the other hon. candidate (the
Hon. J. W. Fortescue), he was so intimately connected
t
with the Treasury as to render it likely that his support
would is all instances be afforded to the presentthat,

Mr. PALKNER inquired what the opinions of the hoe.
gentleman were with respect to the Maynooth grant ?
Major REED said he was averse to the application of
public moneys for religions purposes. (Cheers.) At the
same time, the Maynooth grant had certain advantage.
—one of which was the education of priests with some"
proper appreciation of our country and respect for ..our
Government, which was better than importing them frbsis '
ultraraoitane continental countries. At the same ta,
he considered that, if the grant to Maynooth was tc.br
continued, it should be paid out of the Irish Cooler:--.

or any other grant. (Hear, hear.)
No other questions were put, and the proceedings
terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
