an address to Lord Grey. But I was not present
when he submitted it in private. In London I had
an interview with him, and prevailed on him to give
up the notion of moving it.
Mr. WELLESLEY—State what you said to Inc in
the House of Commons.

This was addressed to Mr. Western, but
Mr. HARVEY said " Yes, but I did not send the
copy, as I did not intend to move the address."
Mr. WESTERN—You promised not to move it,
and I said so to many friends ; you declared your
intention of reading it, but I objected to this, be-
cause though you may not put it, many people will
say " put it, put it." The view taken of it by my
colleague was perfectly natural, because he did not
know your intention of reading it. There has been
a misapprehension, but my Hon. Colleague is not to
blame, and it would have been better had Mr. Har-
vey abstained from reading what he did not mean to
propose. He announces to the Tories the existence
of divisions amongst us. Let the matter rest. This
distinctly I say, that any man who does or says any
thing at this moment to annoy a brother Reformer,
is, I won't say a traitor to Reform, but an injudi-
cious friend.

Mr. DISNEY—On Friday last Mr. Harvey pro-
mised us, in the private room, copies of the address,
but left us quite uncertain as to his future intentions.
1 got no copy, and thought the whole matter was
ended.

Mr. LENNARD, M.P.—Gentlemen, this meeting
is convinced the whole affair originated in mistake.
The general feeling is that the two gentlemen should
make mutual explanations, and we pray them to do
so, to submit to its commands.—(Loud cries of
" Hear, hear," from the whole meeting.)
Mr. WELLESLEY—I detest disputes ; but I will
state the course I had intended to pursue. At
Stratfcrd I went to meet gentlemen, the majority of
whom were not members of the Established Church,
in order to discuss Mr. Harvey's address. I had it
not ; I got no copy, and told them it would be un-
fair to discuss it, as he did not intend to move it.—
(Here some one from the crowd confirmed Mr.
Wellesley's statement.) lam no lawyer, and could
not see the difference between moving and proposing
it. Had I thought he would move the address,
and make such a speech, I would have lain on my
oars. If I have been in error in attributing to Mr.
Harvey a violation of his premises, I withdraw the
expression.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. HARVEY—Nothing can be more satisfactory.
Had I moved the address without sending Mr. Wel-
lesley a copy, lie would have been perfectly justified.
I was hasty, and it is a warm retort but an Esglish
one, to say it is not true. After what Mr. Wellesley
has said, I quite withdraw the offensive expression.—
(Loud cheering for some time.)
Thanks were moved to the county Members, and
both gentlemen made their acknowledgments.
The warm thanks of the meeting were also given
to the Chairman, who made a brief reply, and called
upon the meeting not ►o separate without evincing
their gratitude to our generous King. " I give you,
gentlemen," said Sir T. B. Lennard, " the head of
the Reformers, William IV., with four times four."
The Chairman, with the meeting, then uncovered,
and the cheers were given in the most rapturous
manner, after which the meeting separated.
