Mr. PaTrrsoN—Ailien he was first introduced to thelr no.;.
lice, when Sir R. Peel dissolved Parliament, in It 3-& and 1b.3:3,
he stated that he was an ardent. Retorir, er, and he. begged to
sate that he was so yet.: On that. occasion he was a very unwi lirtg
candidate, but be was told that by noming forward be might
do much gold to the cause, and he hesitated No longer
(Cheers).—They had again returned him afterwards, and he
would refer to his past conduct as a proof of what it
would be if they returned him again.—( Cheers.) lie had
never given any but an honest vote—(Cheers)—his votes
were rcgistired, and there was not one of them that he
would wish to withdrate.—( Hear, hear, and cheers. ),
He was still an unflinching Reformer, ar.d on all
occasions it. would give hint much pleasure to support a Go-
vernmenl, hcadc.l in one House by- Lord John Rtissell—
( Cheers)—abd in the other by Lord Melbournr.--( Cheers. )-
They were aware he was no orator ; he would, luerefore, coo-
.tent himself, on• the present • occasion. with saying that the
greatest pleasure he could • receive, would be to be re-elected
at the next, and that the citizens of London would give hint
the Noble Lord as a collergue.
Mr. HAWLS said a duty de rolved upon him whlcii, although
almost unable to do justice to ii, he would cheer-Lilly perform,
I,ecatee with his utmost strength, and with all ins might,
he had embarked in the Government cause, which they were
assembled to support.—(Great cheering.) On that oecaeion
they had shut. their doers to none.— (Gwen.) They held
their meeting in the fact atlas.; they had sent out no le ters to be
presented at. the door.—(Clieers and laughter.) They bad.
as upon all previous occasions iu the City of London. discussed
a great public question with open doors.—(Cheers.)
After au reecellent speech, which we are sorry space wilt not
permit us to report, the Honourable- Gentleman proposed
a resclution, " that, determined to sugoort the great measures
recently proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, and impressed
with the high importance, commercially as well as Po' iticallr, of
the principles involved in those measures, the meet cog pledge
themselves to promote, to the utmost of- their power, +he elec-
tion of Lord John Russell, arid the re-election ut the other
three candidates." _

Mr. It CuttittE, M.P., secondei the motion, which was
passed unanimously with applause.
Throe cheers were given for the Queen.
Ater which a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the
Chairman upon the motion of Sir M. Wood, sec:(nded by Mr.
Crawf.rd.

v'C
hre.e cheers were then proposed for Commodore Napier, and
loudly and vehemently responded te.
Commodore Nartistt then came forward and said, Gentle-
men, I certainly did not come here to-day to address you,
because I felt that it would he perfectly out of
place to do so. But, as I have been brought
forward, I shall briefly make a few observations.-4Tre-
mendeus cheering ) With tegard to what the Noble Lord
(Lord J. Russell) has said with respect to the navy, the Noble
Lord has given as a reason for.incrcasitg the national expenses •
that the naval force of the country required augmentation.
anti that while France and 'Russia were increasing
their naval power and resourre, it became Great Bri-
tain to increase her naval force in a corresponding degree.
If there was any fault en the part of Ministers, it is that they
had not increased our navy long before they did.—(Hear,
hear. ) Now, that it is done, I hope every ere will support the
Government. of the Noble Lord, as I shall do, if I have the
honour of being returned for Marylehone.—( Cheers. )
The CHAIRMAN said he had the less difficulty in acknow-
ledging the resolution which had just been passed, thanking
him fur his services in the chair, because he was perfectly-con-
scious that it was a coiu liment. paid not to the conduct of an •
individual, but to the high and important character of the.office
he hail Hear, hear.) He could only assure them
that, if there was ever given to a cause a support that was
calm, disinterested, and free from every party and personal
bias. and which was arrived at by deep consideration, and held
by equally firm conviction, it. wa.s the support which he had that
day endeavoured to give the new commercial policy of the
country. and which he should continue to give to the end
of his life. He had come forward upon that occasion wholly
uninfluenced by party or personal considerations. About
four years since he had been requested by her Ma-
jesty's Government to undertake, with three other gentle-
men, the duty of investigating the condition of a very
extensive class in this country, namely, the hand-loom wea-
vers, who were then suffering the severest privations; and the
Committee appointed upon that occasion recoameuded for the ,
-aiiveistierrefthese -distresses precisely the same Mt:Lill/ULU
those broughtaforward by her Mbjesty's Government, He
was sure that by a liberal system of counnercial policy they
might secure to the country that further prosperity which
was within their reach, but if thodt. measures should be
neg:ected, in his conscidttious brlief that prosperity would gra-
dually lave the shores of England. and would wing is flight
to countries flourishing under a Letter ordered state of things.—
(Loud cheers.)
Three dams wese then proposed for Lori John Ilaz,sell,
and three cheers few the tour Candidates, which was loudly
respond, d to
,by the meeting.
Air. vitas then came forward. sari expressed a hope.
that the electors would hereafter be at their po-ts, endeavour-
ing to return Lord .1. Russell and his thre,, colleagues, to re-
present them in the ensuing Parliameut. and fur .11 of them
he invoked their support. They must not forget their duty of
canvassing ; they must not. forget that the pill drew nigh ; and •
they must not forget their duty on the 4ey of polling, to bring
as many voters to the poll as possible.
Three cheers were then given for Mr. Travers, and
Mr. Lea e, the Chairman, in announcing the dissolution
of the meeting, earnestly requested all the electors of London
to gird themselves up for a mighty conflict. Thu electors
must recollect that by the preseat law there was only one day's
pollin'Lord John Rus:ell on leaving the platform was most enthu•
siasticaily cheered.

On the arrival of Lord John Russell in the Committee-room,
his Lordsl4 was introduccd to several of the influential com-
mercial gentlemen of the City, by whom he was warmly congra-
tulated on presenting himself as a candidate ,for their suffrages.
The utmost enthusiasm appeared to prevail amongst the elec-
tors present., and loud said hearty cheers were given by the
vast crowd assembled in front. of the Tavern, as the candidates
and their friends took their departure. The meeting broke
up shortly hrf4re four o'clock.
Such was the density of the meeting, that people who came
and could not obtain admittance to the great room went away
at the rate of sixty per minute. •

VEKMAN OPERA.

On Monday \Vela's Euryanthc, by soars ccnsidered his
greatest work, was performed for the second time this season.
We were presented from being present at the first performance,
last week,- to our enjoyment last night was therefore added
all the charm of novelty. But the singular character of Vi eber's
music in general, and of this opera in particular, requit es a more
intimate acquaintance and frequent hearing to enable us tocom-
prebend and enjoy all its beauties. We believe that to a great
part of last night's audience, as to ourselves, tlfe music was too
new to be fully appreciate;t. The applause at the end of the
overture was partial only, not, we are confident, because that
extraordinary composition was undervalued, but beaus the
first feeling it inspired was rather astonishment than delight.
We. look forward to a second hearing with great eagerness,
and doubt not but that delight. will then be added to our
feelings of surprise. Adolar's ( Lim Tichatcheck ) first. carat ina is
an exquisite mot( eau, calculated to please at the first as at the hun-
dredth hearing, and that admirable sinter displayed the extretrri: •
sweetness of his voice to great advantage. -Herr Stan,tljigo,:e

THE WEATHER-With the exception of
Thursday, the weather for the last week has been ex-
ceediagly cold and ungenial. zihould it continue without
uny chanr, we fear the wheat will suffer. A gentleman-
from Knowsley states that on Tuesday night he saw a
piece of water on v. hieh there was ice the thickness of a
halfpenny.
