MORNING SU

with is view to their ultimate rLpeal. (Loud cheering and
grcatrinterruption, by ellieg and shouting for the Tories, %vb' ,
le red the Honourable Baronet inaudible.) He conclues!
by expressing his confidence in the t esuit of the election. and
requested the electors to come early to the poll. _
Mr. CA DEEM, next attempted to address the meeting, and
spoke for about twenty minutes amidst the most deafening din,
which rendered him completely inaudible.
Sir C. NA t lER then came forward, and was received with
tremendous cheering.—He said he could not ask their suf-
frages upon such solid ground as his Hon. Colleague had done
—(Loud cheer s)—for he had never had an opportunity, like Sir
B. Hail, of showing his fitness and fidelity in Parliament.
But he would tell them this, that if they returned him as their
representative, he would be able to give them as good an ac-
count of himself when he next met them.—( Cheers.)
services hitherto had chiefly been naval and military. He had
served his country 41 pare, and if he was honoured with an op-
portunity of serving the borough in Parliament, they would find
him du his duty in the same independent manner in which he had
discharged the duties which his country had hitherto entrusted
to him.—(lmmense cheering.) The gentleman who span
last seemed very much amazed at the arrangement which had
taken place bAween him and Mr. Young, and which had united
the Reformers in one invincible body. It was not extraor-
dinary that the Tories should be annoyed at it, as it was their
sure and certain destruction.—( Hear.) Their oppomnts
had
strange opinions as to what was good for the poor. He and
Sir B. Hall wished to find the poor cheap br. ad and emp!nr
ment, that they might have nii occasion for the workhouse--
(Cheers)—but the other gentlemen thought it better to make
bread dear, ernploynwnt scarc, and workhouses plenty and well
filled. The Gallant Commodore having briefly recapitulated,
his former declarations of political opinions, which he said oers
by this time well known to every Reformer in the Borough.
retired amidst the most tumultuous cheering, accompanied by
waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies, who crowded the
balconies around.
Sir JAMES IlammToN then came forward and addressed
the meeting, but his observations were entirely drowned hy the

uproar.
Mr. SANKEY spoke at considerable length, but lag
e lually inaudible.
The show of hands having been taken, the returning officeft
Mr. Salomon declared it to be in favour of Sir BCI-0111111 111."
and Sir C. Napier.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Sir James Hamilton
and Mr. Cabbell, and appointed to open this 111041Ing at
eight o'clock, and close at four in the afternoon.
Sir B. HALL proposed a vote of thanks to the returning
officer, which was loudly responded to, and the meeting then
separated.

TO WER HAMLETS.
The nomiaation of the candidates to represent this borougo'"
Parliament tookplace 3 esterday at twelve o'cicck, on stepner.
TWe' re are five candidates in the field, three Liberal,
( Clay, Fo* and Thompson), and two Conservatives ( liutchin •
son and Rortinson).
Mr. Robinson arrived at the hustings shortly after elevem
o'clock, an 4 was partially cheered. The other candidates ,
arrived soon afterwards. Mr. P. Thompson was most enthu-
siastically cheered upon presenting himself to the electors. •
Silence having been proclaimed by Mr. Reynolds, the Nig'
Bailiff, and the writ and precept, anil the Act against Bribery
having been read, and the other usual formalities gone througus ' ,
Mr. ELLIS, the Returning Officer, requested the nu ne*
rous assemblage to give to every person a patient hearing'
As on the present occasion there were five candidates who
asked for the suffrages of the electors of the 'fewer Hamlett,
and as there would be fifteen speeches, he should content him-
self with assuring the electors that he had made every ,
conve-
nience for the taking of the poll to-morrow, and that he trusty.
that all the electors would come forward and vote in a straight'

forward, manly, and English manner.—( Cheers. )
Mr. J. SIMPSON thee came forward to propose for the
fourth time, William Clay, Esq., as a fit and proper
person
to represent the borough of the Tow-sr Hamlets in Parlia-
ment.—( Great cheering.) He need not remind the elector*
that every act of Mr. Clay's since he had been in Parliaments
had been for the benefit of the people.—(Cheers.) He had
always vcted for the abolition of the unjust and iniquitous
Corn-laws.—( Cheers, and cries of " The Poor-laws.) The
Tower Hamlets was the largest borough in the Empire, 5,
he trusted it would do its duty by sending again to Parliamen*
its old tried friend, Mr. Clay.—(Cheers.)
Mr. COATES seconded the nomination of Mr., Clay. The
electors of the Tower Hamlets had come forward that day t° •
execute a great constitutional privilege, and in its execution
he trusted they would show that moderation; candour, and
calm consideration which was due from Englishmen to English-
men when they came forward to execute great constitutional
rights.—( Cheers. ) He had come forward to inflict upon their'
one of those fifteen speeches which had been threatened by 4of
their returning officer, but he would endeavour to tole, ,„fr
that speech as short as he could.—( Loud cheers. ,f,CI
The prvsentelections,:throughout England, would determine the• ol
question of monopoly or free trade. (Cheers) They would • ,$0
determine whether the privileges of the few should triumph over '
,„,11
the rights of the many. It was an endeavour, aided by.the, ,'"'
Queen herself, to call forth the trade and commerce of the :5441,..
country, and to make England, as she ought to be, the pride ...0.r.,14
and glory of the world.—( Cheers.) Her Majesty's Minster§
had proposed to increase the resources of the country. .
by decreasing taxation. (Cries of No, No.) If there
was any one present who was in favour of taxation
he (Mr. Coutts) had no community with him.—(Cheers.)
Her Majesty's Ministers had attempted to grapple with all thd
great monopolists.—(Cheers.) There was a common 501
that when rogues combined, honest men got their own, an
he thought that when honest men combined they would be
match for rogues.—(Cheers.) Now among the monopolists
they had rogues in timber—( A laugh)—rogues in sugar--
(Laughter)—and rogues in grain. The question to be decided
that day was, whether the people should be benefited or the mu;
nopolists. He had come tory, ard with great pleasure to second
the nomination Lf Mr. Clay, and he did so, first, because be
was a consistent man--( Cheers )--and lastly, because he was
a friend to free trade.—( Cheers.) Upon the ground of his,
being a tried Reformer, a consistent Reformer, and a friend of .;
free trade, he had equal pride and pleasure in seconding the
nomination of Mr. Clay.—(Cheers,)
Mr. Se nEVILL came forward to propose Mr. Perronet Thorn?'
son. He appeared before the electors of the Tower Hamlets for •
the purpose of introducing to them a Radical candidate in the
person of Mr. Thompson.—( Cheers. ) He much regretted that
the tame conduct of the Whigs had driven the Radicals to come •
forward as they had done. He thought that the electors of the , •
Tower Hamlets were worthy of having such men to represent •
them as they had in • F.nsbury. He therefore begged to offer, •
to their notice Mr. Thompson—(Cheers)—the son of that
old tried and unflinching Reformer, who, he believed, was n 6 .
the Member for Hull.—(Great cheering.) They did oeb
come there to support parties, but themselves; and for hits'
self he might say, that had he studied his own interest he should •
not have appeared before them as the proposer of a (tads-,'••
cal candidate ; but he felt that he had a duty to pari.
form to his country, and therefore it was that 111 ham
stood forward.—( Cheers. ) He wished to see every workirl
man in the same condition as himself, and he was sure tha,
they might be so, if they could only get good government, stla
would be industrious and temperate.—(Cheers.) Asa Merg;
ber of Mr. Thompson's Committee, he would tell them that
Mr. Thompson had coalesced with none of the other candidates►
as he was determined to stand upon the Radical interest alone'
—(Cheers.) It was but justice that he should say that Mr.,' •
Clay had been greatly belied upon the Poor-law question- .
He was sure that in proposing Mr. Thompson, he was bring'
ing forward a man that would not deceive the electors,
in whom they might put their trust.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thoturr ,
son was young, had virtue in him, and would fight the battle et
the people if they would only support him.—(Great cheering*) -
Mr. FRASER. seconded the nomination of Mr. Thompson
the
An attempt was now made to cram two placemen down,
throats of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, an!"ty
therefore became them to be up and stirring, auu
bring forward some one to rescue the borough from sig
a state of things.—( Cheers.) The candidate whom he had the
honour to second was the son of that man who first acivocat
the total and immediate abolition of the who
015
IN hat they wanted, and which he had no doubt they would set!
have.—( Cheers. ) In conclusion he begged most cordially aut
second the nomination of Mr. Thompson, the bringing
whom forward he believed to be the cause of their having '
and one

numerous and great a meeting that day.
Mr. Buxros then came forward to propose Colonel Foe 35
a fit and proper person to represent the borough in the eir!.."
suing Parliament. He proposed to them a gentleman in
t's
mately connected with that great name which for thirty Yea.r„
had supported, with surpassing talent, the popular cause at
Parliament—he proposed to them a relative of the grs
Charles James Fox.—( Great cheering.) Colonel Fox
vva
in addition, a near relative of Lord Holland, who had enni
tributed so much to the passing 3. of the Reform Bill. nu__
above all, Colonel Fox was the advocate of free trade. as well
the friend of civil and religious liberty. He thought there ve,.!..!
times in which Reformers should forget minor 'difference' re;
the purpose of securing the triumph of the great prineiPed
upon which they were all agreed.—( Uproar.) He prop°!..,
Colonel Fox to the electors of the borough, with the belief tna
he would on to-morrow be placed at the head of the poll. f
Mr. MARTINEAu came forward to second the nomination °,
Colonel Fox. He was induced to propose the Gallant Colon,'
mainly because he was the zealous advocate of free trade
(Cheers and uproar.) It was the principle of free trade `ci a
above all others received his (Mr. Martineau's) cordial a?..,
continued support. It was easy to talk of civil and religiousi;ie
berty, but the question of free trade was one of a far more valu3
and practical nature. Colonel Fox was the son of one of the inci,is
distinguished friends of popular rights and liberties that toe-
country had ever beheld, and of one whose protests in the
House of Lords would remain an eternal monument of
~e.
wisdom of his head, but still more of the goodness of his he3fe'lt
