REPRESENTATJON OF GLASGOW.

The contest for the representation of Glasgow, in anticipation of Lord

William Bentinck's being raised to the Peerage, is at last fairly opened,
Mr. P. Maxwell Stewart has addressed the electors, and from severs
notices lately published, it appears certain that Mr. Roebuck will stmt

on the Radical interest. Both of these candidates have been already in
Parliament, and must be well known to the constituency; it is, there.
fore, unnecessary for us to say a word as to their respective merits. A
third is spoken of from r.morig the Conservatives, but he is not yet
n a med.— Glasgow Chronicle.
Friday night, a meeting of the electors and ()liters favourable to the
return of a Radical representative of the City in Parliament, was held in
the New Secession Church, Regent-street, to consider what steps should
be adopted with a view to the return of Mr. Roebuck to Parliament as
their representative, in the event of Lord Wm: Bentinck being raised to
the Peerage. Mr. Lang having been called to the chair, Mr. Purdie
read letters which he had received from Mr. Roebuck, Colonel Thomp.
Mt, and Mr. Sharman Crawford, in answer to these which he had sent
•o these gentleman requesting them to stand as candidates—copie,
of Colonel Thompson's and Mr. Crawford's letters will be
found below. Mr. Roebuck although he has no obi,
tion to the contents of his letter being freely communicated
does not wish the letter to be published. He states distinctly that should
a vacancy occur, and if the radical constituency stand by their principles
he will come forward as candidate for the representation. The letters
having been read Mr. Ross proposed that they should wait upon the
Directors of the Reform Association, in order to ascertain whether there
were any letters in town with respect to Lord William Bentinck. Mr.
Purdie thought it was needless to wait upon Whigs who would probab'y
say as they did previous to the last election :—" Oh dear, no; commu.
Meat ion from Lord William Bentinck! no, no—there is no such thing;"
and all the while have the letters enquired for in their pockets. Mr. Bur❑
thought they should in the first instance appoint an efficient Committee
with power to add to their numbers, to take all necessary measures
with a view to the return of Mr. Roebuck. The motion having
been seconded, Mr. Turner of Thrushgrove proposed that they should
rather appoint a deputation to wait on the Directors of the Reform As-
sociation, or write to the clerk of that Association, to know whether
any official intelligence respecting Lord William Bentinck had been re_
ceived, and whether some means might not be adopted to further a union
of the Liberal party. He could have no objection to Mr. Roebuck, al-
though he would not pledge himself in his favour; he was most anxious
to promote union. Mr. Purdie said there was no time to lose. If he
had been rightly informed, the Whigs were already collecting money
in the North Quarter for election purposes, and Mr. Turner
had subscribed one guinea. Mr. Turner observed that attend-
ing to the registrations was a necessary and expensive business,
in which a considerable amount of debt had been incurred, and he added,
it was to defray this debt, and to raise funds for the coming registra-
tions, that the money was collected ; he subscribed one pound. In the
course of conversation, it was stated that the Tories had commenced the
work of canvassing. Several persons were named who had stated that they
had been called upon and keenly canvassed. Mr. Burn's motion was
agreed to and a Committee appointed.
Mr. Tom) remarked that by forming an efficient Committee of Elec-
tors to Unite with the Universal Suffrage Committee, they took the pro.
per steps to concentrate their forces.

The Secretary of the Committee appointed last night, has this
morning written a letter to the Chairman of the Reform Association,
requesting him to call a meeting of the Association, and expressing a
wish to enter into a conferente with a Committee of its members.—lbid.
Correspondents of the same paper, have furnished the following
paragraghs

" The Clique are again at their mean, paltry work, as several of the
body are at present in London concocting measures with Mr. Patrick
Stewart, who is actually one of the Derby Dilly, having deserted the
Whigs in 1534-35—voted against the Ballot—the extension of the
suffrage—in favour of pensions—against the present Speaker, and to
keep in Sir Robert Peel. In fact, he is in every respect a Tory. The
Clique, therefore, have allied themselves with that body; and we ap-
peal to the electors of Glasgow if this is fair and honourable conduct.
Mr. Roebuck is expected to be in town in a few days."
" We understand that if Lord William Bentlnck is elevated to the
Peerage, there is every probability of a Conservative soliciting the
suftages of the citizens of Glasgow. We are not at liberty at pre-
sent to be more explicit."

PUBLIC MEETING AT BRISTOL IN
FAVOUR OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE AND
THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Bristol was held on Monday
last, in the Guildhall, in consequence of a requisition presented to the
Mayor, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. H. Vincent, or
London, in favour of the People's Charter. At one o'clock the Hall
was well filled; the Galleries were crowded. Mr, Vincent, and Messrs
Bolwell and Philips, of Bath, entered the Hall about half.past one, and
were loudly cheered.

Mr. M`Kay, a working man, was called to the Chair. Ile opened
the business in a very able and impressive speech ; after which the first
resolution, expressive of the inefficiency of the Reform Bill, was moved
by Mr Morgan, seconded by Mr. Page, and supported by Mr. Philips,
of Bath, and carried unanimously.

Mr. JAcous moved, and Mr. CHAPEL[, seconded the second resolution,
in favour of Universal Sufliage, Annual Parliaments, No Property Quali_
tkation, Equal Representation, Wages for Representatives, and the Ballot.
After which the CitatrtmaN introduced to the meeting, amidst loud
cheers,

Mr. ViNovi; who commenced his remarks by appealing to men of
all opinions, calling upon them to hear quietly all he had to say, and
then to discuss their differences with him; he delivered a very long and
impressive address. He reviewed the present position of parties—de-
nounced in bitter terms the conduct of the present Ministry—pointed
out the cringing servility of the House of Commons-and clearly showed
that there was no hope of an improved state of things but by a recon-
struction of the House of Commons. He entered into a full explanation
of the People's Charter. As we have not a report of his speech, we
can simply say that he was li.•tened to with marked attention, and loudly
cheered throughout. The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously.

The third resolution, pledging the meeting to the People's Chi rtcr,
after being moved and seconded, was supported in a short speech of much
eloquence by Mr. Thomas Bolwell, the Secretary of the Bath Working
Men's Association, and carried unanimously.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Right Worshipful
the Mayor, W. P. Taunton, Esq., and Mr. Ilerapath, for their impartial
conduct in obtaining the use of the Guil !hall. After which W.
Taunton, Esq. returned thanks in a very able speech, in which he advo
rated the right of all the people to be represented in Parliament.
Thanks were then voted to Mr. Vincent, who replied in a short
speech ; three cheers were given for the People's Charter, and the meet-
ing separated.

The meeting was conducted throughout with the greatest order and
method, and reflects the highest honour upon the working classes of
Bristol.
