evening, the
purpose of hearing the political sentiments ' of Lord
Dudley Coutts Stuart," an object which was
i not car-
ried out to the satisfaction of the majority .11d
for such
was the disorderly conduct of the rabble alluded to
o
that not one half of his Lordship's observationsu could
possibly have been heard at any distance from the
platform.
It was proposed, seconded, and carried, that Mr.
Charles E. Wagstaff, churchwarden, take the chair.
Mr. WAGSTAFF, on
,taking the chair, made some
observations which were wholly inaudible, but which
we understood to be in favour of Lord Dudley Stuart.
When the creators of the uproar had made them-
selves hoarse by screaming and yelling, and were
compelled to pause for breath, Mr. Wagstaff was
heard to say that it was impossible to form an opinion
on a dispute between any two or more persons, with.*
out hearing them all, an observation which met with
great applause. Mr. Wagstaff then introduced Lord
Dudley Stuart.
Lord DUDLEY STUART said be was not at all
surprised at the excitement of the worthy electors.
The contest, if such it might be called—but he pre-
ferred to call it rivalry—would be at end on Monday,
and it must be expected that the electors would feel
some excitement as the decisive moment approached.
—(Hear, hear.) For his part he was not at all
angry with those who opposed him.—(Hear, hear.)
He expected people to differ in opinion, and if they
differed with him he bore it with perfect good
humour, even though the mode of expressing their
opinions might be rather uproarious.—(Cheers, and
counter cheers.) His Lordship then proceeded to
give an outline of his past conduct and present sen-
timents, the greater part of which was inaudible in
the uproar and confusion. Several placards with the
inscription " V.R. for all England, R.V. (Harvey) for
Marylebone," were raised on sticks in the body of the
hall, and suspended by strings from the gallery, and
shouts raised of " No Lords in the Commons," &c.
His Lordship alluded to a bill which had been circu•
lated in the borough, containing slanderous attacks
upon him on account of votes made by him while in
Parliament.—(Cries of " Pension List," groans and
cheers.) Yes, one of them was his vote against Mr.
Daniel hittle Harvey's motion for an inquiry into
the Pension List.—(Uproar.) He was about to speak
of it. He did not shrink from speaking of it. He was
not ashamed of it.—(oh ! oh ! and cheers.) At the
commencement of the reign of King William the
Fourth, an arrangement was made between the King
and the Parliament, after an inquiry into the whole
subject, that if he, the King, would give up one half
of the amount usually placed at his disposal, he should
continue to enjoy the remainder the whole of his
reign. That arrangement having been made by the
Parliament with the King, ought not to be violated.
—(Hear.) When he (Lord D. Stuart) made a bar-
gain he kept it—(Hear)—be it with a King or with
a cobbler.—(Laughter.) In fact, the Parliament
could not break the compact. Now Mr. D. W.
Harvey did not bring in his motion before that com-
pact was made.—(Hear, hear.) He did not bring
it in when it might have been of use—(Hear)—
and when nearly the whole House would have
voted for it ; but when the bargain was struck, when
the house could not draw back, but must let the matter
stand as it was, then Mr. D. W. Harvey brought in
his motion for an inquiry.—(Applause.) What was
the use of bringing in a motion for an inquiry which
must end in nothing ?—(Hear, hear.) For his part
he could see no advantage to be derived from it, nor
could he regret that he had opposed it.—(Cheers,
counter cheers, and hisses.) His Lordship proceeded
further in his vindication of himself, but was almost
inaudible during the whole of the remainder of his
address, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the
Chairman, who observed that, though they had come
there to be governed by the majority, they were to be
governed by the minority.—(Great uproar.)
His Lordship, after the conclusion of his address,
gave answers to questions from several electors as to
his opinions on several political topics.
Mr. RUFFY, who described himself as a Chartist—
(Laughter, and " Ruffy, or Ruffi-an ?" from a voice
in the hall)—proposed a resolution, " That the meet-
ing congratulate Lord Dudley Stuart on his recent
changes of opinion, and compliment him on his im-
provement in oratory, under the tuition of Mr.
Douglas and his friends.—(Cries of " Rollo, Doug-
las !") At the same time they cannot give his Lord-
ship their support, as, being Radical Reformers, they
can never vote for a man who is in favour of the con-
tinuance of church-rates and the endowment of
Popery."—(Hear, and "No, no!") As some gentlenien
cried "No," he would, before proceeding with the
resolution, or his observations on it, ask his Lordship
whether he had not already stated that he was in
favour of church-rates and the endowment of Popery.
LordDunizv STUART thought he had already said
distinctly enough that he was not in favour of either.
—(Hear, hear.) He said that he considered the
church-rates as a most odious and vexatious impost.
—(Hear, hear.) As to the endowment of Popery,
he had said that he thought the Established Church
in England and the Free Kirk in Scotland, being the
Church of the majority, ought to be maintained at
the expense of those who used them. The Roman
Catholic Church was the Church of the majority in
Ireland ; and if they, the majority, the Roman
Catholics, chose to have an Established Church, and
were willing to pay for it themselves—(Hear, hear)
—he thought they had a right to do so—(Cheers)—but
he would never consent to the endowment of the Irish

Roman Catholic Church at the expense of the En
glish Protestants.—(Great applause.) He believed
that the Roman Catholics did not wish it ; but if
they did, he thought it better they should have a
Roman Catholic religion, much as he disapproved
of the tenets of that religion, than no religion at all.
—(Hear, hear, and No, no !) What, did those gen-
tlemen who were crying " No, no," think it better
to have no religion at all ?—(A laugh.) If so, he
disagreed with them, but they had a right to hold
their own opinions.—(Hear, hear.) As to changes of
opinion, he could only say that he always had been,
and always would be, a thorough Reformer.—(Hear.)
Mr. RUFFY then proceeded with the reading of the
resolution, which occupied two sides of a sheet of
note paper ! and which concluded by recommending
his Lordship to retire in favour of Mr. Harvey, and
in a long address abused " Lord D. Stuart and
his friend Mr. Douglas," to his heart's content, and
much to the delight of the R. V.-ites, who by this
time had hoisted about half a dozen of the placards
in various parts of the room. Mr. Ruffy concluded
by saying, that if Lord Dudley Stuart was elected,
he would devote himself to the interests not of the
people, but of the aristocracy, of which he was a
member.
ANOTHER GENTLEMAN, who also said he was a Char-
tist, addressed the meeting in a similar strain, and
seconded the resolution.
Several Gentlemen addressed the meeting at some
length, complaining of the unfairness of Mr. Ruffy's
misrepresentations of Lord Dudley Stuart's state-
ments. One gentleman gave quotations from two
speeches made by Mr. D. W. Harvey when in Par-
liament, in one of which he declared that free trade
was a delusion, and in the other, that " so far from
advocating revolutionary principles, he was opposed
to the Vote by Ballot, Universal Suffrage, and Short
Parliaments.—(Groans) Asking, at the same time,
what reliance could be placed on that gentleman's
consistency.—(Hear, hear.)

eagerness to express a difference
of opinion, for his
Lordship had frequently declared in Parliament and
amongst the friends of the Poles that he liked to hear
a difference of opinion expressed, because it was "the
privilege of freemen to differ in opinion." Lord D.
Stuart held that it was only despotism that enforced
uniformity of opinion, and so far he was as much a
Nonconformist" as the most sectarian of his op-
ponents. His Lordship could not be offended, there-
fore, with the difference of opinion manifested there
that evening if it had been expressed in a manner
more becoming
the dignity of freemen. His Lord-
ship had also told the constituency that he had not
confined his exertions to the redress of Polish griev-
ances, but that whenever it came in his way to ad-
vocate the cause of oppressed Englishmen he had done
so ! In the memorable case of Captain Robinson,thne,
