LIVING ,LITERARY CHARACTERS.
E. L. BULWER, ESQ.
THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE,
and LITERARY JOURNAL.
Since the Ist of December last this popular periodical
has been published under a new and highly active ma-
nagement, which has brought to its pages the aid of se-
veral very distinguished authors, in addition to those
whose contributions bad already secured to this Maga-
zine a firm lio!d on the favour of the Public. Among
the novel features now introduced is a series of engraved
Poi traits of LITERARY LIVING CHARACTERS,
accompanied respectively by critical and biographical no•
tices. The following Portraits have already appeared :
January, Sir Walter Scott, after the Bust by Chantrey—
February, Hon. Mrs. Norton, Author of " The Undying
One," &c.—March, Author of " Paul Pry," after a
Painting by Pickersgill—April, Mr. Cooper, Author of
" The Spy," " The Pilot," &c.—and on the Ist of May
will appear a Portrait of E. L. Bulwer, Esq., author of
Pelham."—For the information of those unacquainted
v:th the character of its general contents, it may be suf-
ficient to state that this periodical is not only distinguished
by powerful effn•ts of the imagination and by interesting
personal narratives, but may be considered as the deposi-
tory of the droughts and opinions (grave and humourous)
of the first living Writers on all subjects, more particu-
larly on those which are of current interest. Each Num-
ber, price 3s. 6.1. cont iins about 150 pages of Letter-pres!,
handsomely printed, and comprises more matter than is
usually contained in an ordinary octavo volume. Those
who desire to commence the work with the present year
are requested to send their orders forthwith to any Book-
seller or Newsman.

street. Ordeis received by all Booksellers and Newsmen.

GENERAL ELECTIONS.

WESTMINSTER ADDRESS to the KING.
(Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.)
Mr. HOBBOUSE, as soon as the cheers with which
he was welcomed had subsided, said that it gave
him the greatest satisfaction to meet on that occa-
sion one of the most numerous and respectable as-
semblies of the inhabitants of Westminster he ever
had the honour of addressing. It reminded him of
those glorious times at the earliest period of his
connexion with the electors, when they struggled
in uncertain hopes, unsupported, and almost alone,
for that cause which now the King, the majority of
the Aristocracy, and the intelligence of the people,
had determined to bring to a happy issue.—(Loud
cheers.) When they were told that the immortal
Bill for Reforming the representation was not sa-
tisfactory to the people, he would say, look here at
this vast assemblage—(Cheers)—of men, united for
the great purpose of saving the country from the
machinations of a defeated but still desperate fac-
tion.—(lmmense applause.) There were persons
who talked of thb great body of the people as being
unfit to be entrusted with the elective franchise, and
as being unfit for liberty; but he could point out to
them a body of the Aristocracy, which recently af-
forded one of the most agreeable, one of the pret-
we be-
tiest and most decent specimens of good conduct,
propriety, and order, that could well be exhibited.--
(Laughter.) " I allude (-aid he) to the occasion
roonuiliimicohn‘gveerilLad(aclmheoesrtscaond laughter)—whenmetoblos,sith th
those
people, who are so fond of preaching about good
manners, who think that there is a broad line drawn
by nature between their high mightinesses and our-
seives—when they, who are sent into the House by
persons who ought to be the best judges of good
manners—(Much laughter)—presented a miserable
exhibition of impotent rage, of detected cunning,
of defeated malice, driven to despair.—( Immense
cheering.)—He asked the meeting, did they ever
see human nature in its lowest and most debased
state? If so, they could form some notion of the
faces of these gentlemen whom he saw on the Op-
position benches on the occasion to which he
alluded. There were some occasions on which it
was not fit to mention names; but thete was one
Hon. Gentleman who took so conspicuous a part on
the occasion, and seemed so desirous of making
himself distinguished, that it could not be very in-
decorous to mention his name—(Oh, we know him
—Peel)--yea; be meant the Right Hon. the late
Member for Tamworth. He could assure the
meeting, that although he was not much given to
the " melting mood," and although he bad never
been much disposed to feel compassion for that
Right Hon. Gentleman, yet, when he looked at him
on that day—when he saw his face and his gestures
—for the sake of " auld tang syne" he pitied him.
—(Uproarious laughter.) He begged him, as ear-
nestly as he could express himself by signs, not to
expose himself to the contempt of the House and
to the derision of the people.—(Cheers.) He had
since heard that the Right lion. Baronet subscribed
50,000/. for the support of the boroughmonger,
and corruption at the ensuing election.— (Groans,
arid cries of " Shame, shame.") But much good
may it do him.—(Laughter.) " I wish (said
Mr. H.) he bad subscribed 100,0001., and that he
should find 100,000 electors to take his money, and
to laugh at him afterwards." He hoped that the
Noble Duke who lived near the Strand would sub-
scribe three times that money. lie hoped the Duke
would manure the lands of all Northumberland with
his Bank notes, and that every el- ctor would drink
a glass of good ale at the expence of that Peer, and
go -then to vote for the popular candidate.
The Honourable Baronet who subscribed that
large sum, for the impose of deceiving and de-
frauding the pt epic of England, thought, no doubt.
that lie could not better employ the money which
'mad, no doubt, been honestly earned by his father.
That gentleman had ventured to assert, that there was
a conspiracy entered into for the purpose of carrying
the Reform Bill. Who, then, was at the head of
that conspiracy ? King William the Fourth.—
(Long-continued cheers.) The next great conspi-
rators happened to be the thirteen gentlemen, com-
monly known by the dtsignation of the Cabinet Mi-
n,sters. Then came into the combination more that
one-half the great landed proprietors of England—.

seven thousand bankers and merchants. Next, th
people themselves were represented as joining thi
dark conspiracy to destroy their own liberties—
(Cheers)--and, lastly, the Press was the worst
all this numerous band of conspirators.—(Laughter.)
So these gentlemen had found out at last that the
did not like the Press—(Laughter)—and, amongs
the rest, the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel spoke of ti c
infuria►ed menaces of the Press. He remembered
to have heard the same same Right lion. Baronet
not two years ago, when he made a long, elaborate,
and not inelegant speech, in praise of that vet-)
Press, and of that very part of the Press which he
now_denouncerl ; in fact, in praise of the newspaper
of which he, the other night, so vehemently com-
plained. lie (Mr. H.) remembered to have see'
3 somewhat similar complaint of conspiracy in the
preface to the history of a great man called Jon Ithat
Wild, who, in some points of his character, had re
small resemblance to othergreat men. Well,theautlioi
of that work (which,at the time of its publication, wa-
considered to relate facts, and to represent circum-
stances so like those ofevery-day occurrence,that it was
called a " true history"), tells us that an ancestor o'
the great man was put to death by a conspiracy ;
that, forsooth, twelve honest men were put into a
box, and, having come to an understanding among
themselves, they conspired to hang him.—(Laugh-
ter.) So it was with the boroughmongers. The)
were conspired against just in the 'same way.—
(Repeated shouts of laughter.) They had been
long upon trial.—(From the crowd, " Aye, mucl.
too long for us !") It was true, they had pleaded
not guilty ; but they had after all put in a very
sneaking plea. For _Messrs. Goulburn, and William
Peel, and even the Peel of Peels, had admitted that
the boroughmongers were in some small degree
guilty, and that some Reform was indeed Ind.:spew
sible.—( Much laughter.) There were many topics
connected with Reform upon which it was unneces-
sary for him to address them. The electors of West-
minster had long had their lesson by heart and in their
hearts.—(Cheers.) They knew their duty, and he
knew they would fulfil it.—(Great cheering.) He
entreated them to act upon the advice of his Hon.
Friend behind him (S .r F. Burdett), and to per-
suade all those around them, over whom they have
any influence, not to sell their birth-right at this
time, when the people were united to obtain that
which, though long sought and long delayed, they
were now, at last, upon the point of securing—a
full, fair, and flee representation in the Commons
House of Parliament.—(lmmense cheering.) He
would now only say that they (the electors of
Westminster) could confidently count upon him
—(Cheers)—should they continue to him the high
honour of again representing them where the
struggle must ultimately be terminated—(Cheer.)—
and he trusted that the time was not far distant
when he should have an opportunity of congratu-
lating them upon the happy result of their perse-
vering labours in the cause of Parliamentary Re-
form.—(Cheers for some minutes.)
Thanks being voted to the High Bailiff for his
spirited and patriotic conduct in calling the meeting,
which separated, after cheers three times thrice re-
peated for " The King."
