LONDON TORY ELECTION
11.1EETING.-2:(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the Coeserrative electors of London took place
at the* London Tavern, 13ishopsgste-stieet, to meet the four
gentlemen who ate candidates on the Conservative interest, and
to adopt measures to secure their election. The admission to
the meeting was by printed circulars which had been very ex-
tecsively distribut (1 throughout the City, and the party wail
required " to present his note of invitatimi at the Boor, with
liberty to introduce any electore of Conservative urine Ales,
who might by accident not have received one." The Rencrters
of the pubic press were admitted indiscriminately, and with-
out reference to the politics of the Journals which they le-
presented.
At one o'clock the Chair wag. taken by Jolts HORSLEY
PALMER, Esq., in consequence of the indisposition of Mr.
Russell Ellice. At this time there were between three and
four hundred gentlemen present.'
The CHAIRMAN said ha offered himself with very great
pleasure to preside on the present occasion, although he felt
that he was not able to do the same justice to the cause as the
Hon. Gentleman whose absence on the prevent occasion they
must regret.—( Hear.) But the cause was one from which
no*man professing Conservative principles would withhold his
assistance. It was gratife jog* to every true Conservative to
know that the advanceeof their principles in the City offered the
fairest prospect of success to the exertions that had been made
some years back, in endeavouring to bring back the represen-
tation of the City to the point from which it should never
have departed. —( Hear, hear.) In 1833, Mr. Grote,
a gentleman professing the most extreme political opi-
nions, came in by a majority of no ordinary character,
having potted 6,400, while the Conservative candidate had
only 0,112 votes. Since then there had been a menifest ad-
vance of Conservative opinions in the City till the last election,
when they stood in a majority et only six.—( Cneers. ) Since
then it. had been clearly demonstrated that the Conservatives
.had obtained a manifest majority on the registry, andthere
were now four gentlemen ready to offer them elves, who,..be
hoped, would receive that support which would carry them triune.
phantlythrough the contest.—( Cheers.) Great endeavours were
1 making to bring down the leader of the House of Commons to
the City as a candidate. He trusted for his own reputation
which he (Mr. Palmer) readily admitted .was very great—
(Loud cheers)—that that Noble Lord would not listen: to the
appeal, beeatne if he came he was satisfied the Conservatives
would show him that he had
_come to the wrong place.
( Cheers.) It was now ten years since an opportunity had
been afforded them of electing, representatives of their own
principles, end he trusted that on the present occasion those
gentlemen would receive such a support as would carry the
contest to a triumphant result (Cheers.) They could not
select four gentlemen who, either in their mercantile operations
or in their private or political characters, were calculated to
do greater justice to the choice of the Conservatives of the City
of London. The first was a gentleman representing the great-
est Government in the world next to that of Great Britain—
' he meant Mr. Lyall. The next was a banker who was well
known to them all—Mr. Masterman. The third was ass Alder.
man of the City of London, very extensively engaged in com-
mercial and shipping operations, and the fourth was a gentleman
who since he bad entered the House of Commons had exhi-
bited talents of no ordinary character.—( Loud cheers.) These
were the tour candidates, and he was satisfied that by " a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," they would
secure the return of those foar gentlemen for the city of Lou-
don.—(Much cheering.)
Mr. BARING thought the Conservative cause had made
such progress in the City of London, that the electors repre-
senting these opinions were fairly entitled to be heard in Par-
liament by representatives professing these opinions. —( Cheers. )
The Hon. Gentleman in the Chair, whose exertions in a past
period in fighting the battles of the Conservatives of London
reflected the highest honour upon him, had shown the pro-
gress of the Conservative cause in the city of London.
Although they hail been beaten on the last occasion,
by six votes, a Committee would have shown the manner in
which the votes of the Liberals had been obtained. The haters
of monopoly would not allow them to nominate even one can-
didate for the City-ito, they had a monopoly of the represen-
tation, and they were determined to have all or none.—(Loud
cheers.) They had however now obtained such a majority
as would enable them to shake that monopoly and radi-
calism to its very foundation.—(Hear, hear, and Cheers.)
As yet they were ignorant of as to who were to be their op-
ponents—from what had been done and what they had seen, it
was possible that they might have Lord John Russell. Now,
be did not think that the City of London would 'gain Much by
being made a Government borough.—(Cheers.) How would
it benefit. the commerce of the City by returning the 'Noble
Lord4W,kerouldsnot speak the voice of the City ? Would they
return liii: manly because he was Secretary of State, and
had s possession of place and patronage ? (Hear, hear,

±*.Mr. DENT SEC:Aided thtentglon.
*.•,;;; 'lshe=reiolutionessites putilmnid earned unanimous'y.
Mr. Cions*(4.4, Deputy-Governor of the Bank, said he
apPean ilthere to*show than he was still of the same opinion as
when he had the honour of proposing Mr. Lyall on a former
occasion. At that time he was successful, and he entertained
no doubt that now both he and those who were candidates
along with him, would be the representatives of the City of
London in a very short time. They would represent its elm-
mercy, its banking interesteand its intelligmce. It wins neces-
sary for the success of commerce, that they shvuldhare a steady
adherence to principle on the part of those in the Government.
The resolution he had to propose stoke so much trail that it
was unnecessary for him to argue in its favour; it was that tee
maintenance of Conservative principles was not only the sure
source of, and was essential to, the welfare of Lor.don, but to the
prosperity of London. With regard to the individual: offer-
mg themselves it did not become him to say one word ; they
were all well known to all. They had not taken up their views
at the spur of the moment.—( Cheers.) The question was not
with regard to their candidates but the electors thernrelves,
whether they would return four good men to the liouse
of Commons for the purpose of maintaining those
principles in the House of Commons, which they
had maintained out of. He hoped the opportunity now offered
would not be neglected, as it might be many years before it
occurred again. He„ should have no objection to see Lord
John Russell in the City of London offering himself as a candi-
date for its representation, but he thought the City would dis-
grace itself if it elected a person to represent it merely because
he was a. Minister. of the Crown. He felt convinced if the
Noble Lord presented himself tot the (lectors of London he
would he defeated.— ( Cheers. )
Mr. Iltineean seconded the resolution.
The resolution was put to the meeting by the Chairman, and
declared by him to be carried unanimously.
Mr. Alderman Teicestrson then came forward to propose
the next resolution, which e as to the effect; " That in the
opinion of the meeting George Lyall, Esq., John Mastermrn,
Lsq., Alderman Pine, and Matthias \Volverly Attwuod, Esq.,
were eminently fitted, from their mercantile position and ex-
perience, and their other qualifications, to represent the City
of London in Pat Lament, and that the present meeting pledged
itself to use every exertion in their power to ensure their re-
turn at the approaching general election.—(Great cheering.)
He should be content to end what he had to say by
reading the resolution; but, as he had been called upon to pre-
side at a general meeting held in the City three weeks ago, he
ought to make true statements of what took place there. It
was stated at that meeting that the cause of Conservatism
had been increasing for years past in the City, and that they
had now obtained a position which would be found to be
overwhelming to their opponents. All this, he was convinced,
was owing to the exertions of the Association to which he
had referred. The duty of that Association was to see that the
Reform Bill was carried out, and that no person should be on
the Registry who was not entitled to be there. He had stated at
that meeting that he believed the Conservatives had a nirjority
of 1,000 over the Liberals.—(Cheers.) That had been at-
tempted to be denied ; but he thought it his duty to tell the
meeting that he had made that statement advisedly, and he be-.
lieved that he would have been justified in going beyond it,—
(Cheers.) He believed that such was their position that in
would be downright cowardice if they did not bring forward
four candidates. If they elected the four gentlemen who were
to be proposed they would elect men who represented the
banking interest, the commercial interest, the shipping in•
terest, and all the other interests that were connected with
the trade and commerce of London. It had been said that
the Conservatives had offered to compromise the election, and
that they had stated they should be satisfied if they returned
two menthe's ; he denied such an imputation ; there had been
no attempt on the part of the Conservatives to make a com-
promise, neither would there be.—(Loud cheers.) The
Conservatives were determined, to use a vulgar
expression to go the whole hog.—(Cheers. ) He believed that
the registry was favourable to them, and that all they had to do
was, as soon as the poll was opened, to roil to it and vote.—
(Cheers.) lie was sore if Sir R. Peel was-in power, which he
was convinced would be ere long, that whatever was wanted
for the benefit of the country, would be acceded to. Net brought
forward far the purposes of agitation and to continue them.
selves in power, but to meet the wants and wishes of the com-
munity at large.—(Cheers.) Much had been said about Lord •
J. Russell being a candidate. He saw by the Court Circular that
certain.very respectable gentlemen who had taken a very pro-
minent part in the elections for the City of London had had an
interview with his Lordship, and that was followed by a para-
graph in the papers that Lord John Russell had given them no
decisive answer. Now his opinion was that his -Lordship had
given them a very decisive answer—(Cheers)—and he would
tell them why—Because the old men with the plat anis who had
for so many weeks b'ocked up the thoroughfares of their city
were no longer, to be seen.—(Loud cheers and laughter. )
Mr. Grote had publicly declared that he intended to vacate his
post without a fight—let them all act together, hand and heart,
and they might depend on it they would secure them the other
three seats—they would drive the present imbecile men from
Government, and see about the person of the Queen men who
possessed the confidence of the people, and who would do jus-
tice to all parties.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir C. Pelee had much pleasure in seconding the motion.
He had long and intimately known the four gentlemen who
were proposedas candidates on the present occasion, and he
believed no men could be found better fitted for the task, or
more deserving of the confidence of the electors of the City of
London. He should not detain them further, but give his
cordial assent to the proposition that had just been submitted
•
to them.
The resolution was then put, and carried with loud and ge-
neralcheering.
Mr. I. Y A 1.1. then came forward, and was loudly cheered.
He said he hail often had occasion to address them on similar
occasion, and he believed they needed no detailed exposition
of his political principles. He had the honour of representing
them in two sessions of Parliament, and having advocated
Conservative principles then, when they welt: at the
lowest ebb, it was not likely that he would abandon
them now that they were triumphant.—(Loud cheers.)
Te the latest period of his life he should be the unceasing
advocate of these principles, and he (lid so because he believed
the British Constitution was above all others calculated to se-
cure al much liberty as was consistent with order, and that it
had accomplished those great objects beyond any other institu-
tion they had ever heard or read of.—((sheers.) if they
lacked at the British nation—at its vast colonial pessees=sions,
its commerce, its arts and manufactures, must they not admit
that all its preeminence in these departments was owing to
their Constitutionealthough they had often heard that Consti-
tution described as something which should be put aide, and
some crude and undigested theory.subetituted in its stead.—
(Loud cheers.) In Church and State he believed the British
Constitution eminently calculated to maintain what should
he the legitimate object of . all governments, the well-being and
happiness of the people. Subjects of the greatest importance
would be
submitted to them in the next Parliament, the Corn-
laws, the Poor-laws, the Sugar duties, the Timber duties, and
others, in all of which they were '-deeth,
,interested.---(Loud

I cheers.) He trusted that these great, questions would not be
adjusted merely with reference to ti re transitory interests of
--ty warfare.—(Loud 'cheers.) H. such should occur it ap-

Conservative, otherwise he should not 'have app eared belie; e
them, but he would add that .these principles ha.d not bee n

that he should pledge himself.—(Cries of" No, no.") Hi 3
opinion was, that the honour and character of a representative
was eono away with, when he bound himself up to certain
pledges without hearing any discussion whatever upon the •aib-
ject.—( hear,) His best attention, if he had the honour
of being elected would be devoted to the promotion of their
interests.—(Much cheering. )
Mr W. ATTWOOD then rose*, and was roceived with loud
cheering. Before he slid anythi.,Wef himself, he had to spo-
logize for the absence of Mr. Pirie, who was kept
health; although
but
from being present only on account t. 'ill
he was absent in bode, he was present n spirit and feeling.—
(C. hoe= s)—and he would feel deeply grats fled at the manner in
which his name had been received. He needs, "nicely assure them
that it was with feelings of very great pre*de e
anbde grsastsifio--
cation that he found his name was t,
eiated with gentlemen- so well known in the Cits as
whit
dates for the representation of London, and the manner. •
they had respended to itseannouneement. He fully ac,. ult.
lodged that the great object of his ambition was to reprek. •
the City of London---to any man it would be an object of
*pride and praiseworthy 'ambition to be chosen by the first city
in the' empire to represent it in the Legislature—a city
in which various and complicated interests were . corn-
oined. He knew it was essentially felt at the pre-
lent moment that the City should be competently repre-
sented ; it was therefore peculiarly gratifying to him to find
his name so associated. The 1 art he had taken in Parliament
was enough to show what his course of politics was. It was
unnecessary fur him to remind them of the defeats which the
present Government had met with, because he was assured that
the records of those defeats were as indelibly engraven on
their minds as upon those of the Government themselves,
and he was sure they were of opinion that they were no loneer
fit to wield the reins of power.—(Cheers.) He spoke to them
as commercial persons, and he would remind them that that
was the first time they had ever seen the revenue of
the country not equal to - its expenditure—the first time the
public credit had been so exposed to danger—(Hear, hear,
and cheers)—which might * have been fatal to the best
interests of the empire. TO rescue themselves from this posi-
tion, the Government had adopted the desperate course of in-
citing a severe conflict b-tween the two great classes of this
country. It was the first time that a Minister had ever
said that the interest of one class was adverse to
aoother.—( Hear. hear.) It appeared as if the Minis-
ters thought a great boon had been offered to the commerce
of the City of London, and therefore they were about to pro-
pose the Noble Lord who made the proposition. But London
would repudiate it. They would show that they considered it
as an insult. Their opinion was that when they extended
their own prosperity—when they were successful in carrying
on and extending their own operations, they were contributing
to the general welfare—(Cheers)—they did not exist by the
sacrifice of any one interest to another, but contributed to the
welfare of all. They could never look with satisfaction at the
success of measures which would bring ruin and destruction
upon any class. These were Conservative principles, and he
would maintain them. The candidates were commercial men
and were in favour of no monopoly. They desired the pros-
perity of the country and the welfare of all classes.—( Cheers.
The unanimity of their proceedings proved to him that they
must be successful if all would t xert themselves to put an end to
the system now pursued, which had unsettled the pros-
perity of the country. 'fhepresent was an awful crisis, and itbe-
hoved the citizens of London to throw themselves into the
breach. Let them - join together and set an example to the
whale couutry. He would have much pride in taking the
lead as Member for London in putting a stop to the system of
the present incap *fele Government, which had paralyzed the
whole commerce of the country both at home and abroad.
Such were the grounds upon which they presented themselves
to the electors of London, and it was upon those principles
that they asked fur their support.—(Cheers.) He conjured
tho e present, if they concurred with them, if they were satis-
fied that they would fairly represent them in Parlia-
ment, not to test satisfied with expressing their
opinions and sentiments at public meetings, but to take those
means which the Constitution pointed out to record their
votes at the hustings.—(Cheers.) The meeting would ex-
cuse him if he dwelt upon these details in an election which
combined so large a constituency as the City did.—
( Hear, hear, hear.) Great exertions
~ were required
to enable all parties to have an opportunity of expressing their
sentiments.—( Cheers. ) It was not the wislisof the Conserva-
tive candidates to euhtitniee any unfair influebe'e ; all that they
wanted was to place tleir principles fairly before the electors,
and alt that then called upon the electors!, to do, was to
aid in the great cause. they had in 'view, and tot xert themselves
in a constitutional s'mantier to carry ,it into eact.—(Checrs.)
He considered it a great, honour toe•Opresetit tile City of Lon-
doe, at el he could assure theelcetors if that honour was conferred
upon him, he Vi ould'nes'er be found undeserving:of it. He wished
to imp, esi upon the meeting the necessity of supporting the "
four canoitlites together. They must not vote for any parti-
cular party. they must rote for all four, and for hires slf he would
say, teat he would rather be the last of four Conservrtive c in-
eidates than the first of three. Let them all be determined,
le them all combine, and go to the yol' de'ermined to support
th • great cau-e they were met that eay to advocate. He
th in cd the meeting for the attention with which they had
he tr,l h .n, ant he could assure them from the bot-
tom of his heart, that. if the electors of London
pla•tmlh m in the high and honourable situation of one of theie
representatives, no ' efforts whatever on his part should b
wanting to act faithfully by them. He would go to the How"
o' Commons deteimined to support conservative principle.'
but at the same tinityllatiltlie?-as free. independent, aid

Mr. Josmot WALKER. an-I Mr. Doniceseconded a vote of
thanks to the geotlemeh upoe tlte eiTerest committees, which
was carried un,nimo isle. He trussed that all the gentlem. n
who had not.:'-et enrolled their names would do so without hest-
a ion or Celay, as .he larger their Committee was the more

The resolution was then unsnimou.ly adopted.
The thanks of the meetirg were then given to J. Horsley
Palmer, Esq., for the able manner in which he presided over
the business of the day, amidst loud acclamations.
Mr. PALMER returned thanks. He was sensible of the
great honour conferred upon him, more especially when he re-
flected upon the magnitude and importance of the present meet-
ing, which was one of the most important in his opinion that
had ever been held in the City of London.—( Cheers. )
The meeting then separated.

BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.—The Bill for the
prevention of bribery at elections, as amended by the Commit-
tee, has just been printed, by order of the House of Com-
mons. It provides that witnesses shall be compelled to give
evidence of bribery ; and in case of false evidence or prevari-
cation, the parties shall be committed, on the warrant of the
Chai man of the Committee, for a time not exceeding t wenty-four
hours, arid a report of the proceedings shall forthwith be made
to the House, for the interposition of the r authority or censure.
Peers of the realm and Lords of Parliament are exempted from
this clause. Witnesses making true and faithful disclosures
shall be indemnified against all penal actions. In case of ac-
tions copies of entries of examination may be given in evidence,
and evidence of bribery may be given without first proving
agency, but the Committee shall report to the House upon the
fact or facts of bribery, and also whether it shall have been
proved that it had been committed with the knowledge of the
sitting Member or candidate.
POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS—NEW RE-
truaTiorr.—A new regulation has just been' adopted at the
Post-office, with reference to money orders, ulich will be the
means of saving to the public a great deal of unnecessary trou-
ble and inconvenience. Formerly no one could receive the
money but the person who was named to the Postmaster at the
p'ace where the order was obtained ; but now, in all cases
where personal attendance is inconvenient, it the party who
presents the order can afford " full information as to the
Christian name, surname, address, and occupation of the per-
son who originally obtained the order," the money will be im-
mediately paid by the Postmaster to whom it is addressed : but
not until these conditions are strictly complied with.
Bunt FOUND AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—
Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the body of a female,
in a very decomposed state, was taken out of the river Thames.
near the Surrey arch of Waterloo-bridge. Inspector Ives, of
she Thames Police, found the deceased floating off Lett's
timber wharf, and having procured a shell, the body was re-
moved to Waterbo.road church. The police have since ascer-
tained the deceased to be one of the unfortunate women
drowned out of a boat off Hungerford Market about six weeks
ago. A watch attached to a chain, both of trifling lalue, were
found round the neck of the deceased, who appeared about
twenty-fire years of age. .
THE ALLEGED MURDER AT DEPTFORD.—
From what transpired at the adjourned inquest, held at tea
o'clock yesterday, before Mr. Carttar, at the Queen Charlotte
public-house, not a vestige of su.piei .n now rests on Jacobs,
who, after the inquiry was over, was taken before the sitting
Magistrate and discharged. Mr. Charles Smith, of Lambeth,
said, " I am clerk to Mr. Henry Robinson, who has saw-mills

No POPERY.--.lt will be seen that a rabble
of disorderly characters, after breaking up an Anti-Corn-law
meeting in Great George's-plate, on Wednesday, amused
themselves by shattering the windows of the school attached
to St. Patrick's Chapel. How far they
might have gone,
but for the interference of the police, we cannot tell ; but
we suppose that this is to be taken as an ebullition of that
spirit which the Rev. H. APNeile, and other orators of the
Protestant Association, have been so sedulously endea-
vouring to evoke for political purposes. Mr. APNeile
has, on several occasions, shouted " No Popery."
He will, probably, do so again at the meeting
of the " Protestant Operative Association," which is to
be held this evening in the Amphitheatre ; and we have no
doubt that the yell will be re-echoed at the coming electicn.
The Rev. Gentleman is reported to have said, in one of his
sermons, delivered about two years ago, that Catholic chapels
must come down by fair means or :foal. Probably he spoke
only metaphorically, but he' should remember that many of his
ignorant and prejudiced hearers at amphitheatrical gatherings
do not understand metaphors, that some of them, as was nearly
the case on Wednesday evening; may act literally upon his text,
and, furtherinore, that this is a sort of game that two may play
at.—Livcrpool Mercury.
THE STRATHBOGIE CASE.—A public meet,
g was held r Tuesday, in the Court-house, Aberdeen,
called by the Los Provost, on the requisition of a numerous
and highly respectable portion of the community, for the pur-
pose of expressing ympathy with the deposed Min,sters of
Strathbogie, disappr.A al of the conduct of the dominant party
in the Assembly, and a determination to concur in all consti-
.tutional steps which may be necessary for vindicating the sove-
reignty of the law against ecclesiastical aggression. The
assemblage, says the Aberdeen Journal, was the most nume-
rous, respectable, and influential, ever witnessed in this city,
in any matter of public interest. Every corner of the Court-
house was crowded to excess, and hundreds had to go away,
unable to gain admittance. The Lord Provost Blaikie was in
the chair. The meeting was addressed by James Hadden,
Esq., Mr. Paterson, Bailie Forbes, Mr. Yeats, Baillie Crom-
bie, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Adam, Bailie Clark, and Mr. Chalmers.
Resolutions in terms of the object of the meeting were unani-
, piously adopted. A meeting of the county of Aberdeen, on
the same subject, is to be held on Tuesday the 22d, in ac-
cordance with a numerously signed requisition. A public
meeting has been called 4 the Provost of Inverness, pur-
suant to a well-signed requisition, on the subject of the late
proceeding* of the-General Assembly.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

TROUBLES OF EDITORS.—The Editor of the Brantfced
Courier gives the following lively account of the troubles. to
which newspat cr men are subjected :
" Imtginn a number of subscribers calling for their paper
and amusing the Editor with such conversation as the fi
lowing :—You have too many love stories in 'our paps
cries one—give us a little more solid matter, 11110:

you would give us some funny anecdotes, writes a yo a g
friend. " Can't you treat us to something piquant on the 3,,-
vernor's policy ?" says a politician. Another balloon he ur,
if you please, says a wag. You would best suit 3 n.tr

says another,—och !by the powers, won't you be after teliint; ut

upon the Americans, ejaculates his neighbour,—you sho ;Id
borrow more from the New York Albion, recommends a frie id.
In the ahstmee of anything new to communicate, a s
ut-
scriber writes, " you don't give us enough of the news of the
day,"—we should like to know something about the fashio a:!
exclaims a lady of the beau monde—let us know I Off
the money market goes at home, says an old stt
broker,—insert in your paper the Montreal and Tor „rat°
prices of grain, observes a farmer ! and of butter and
cheese too, cries his better half—and where we can get be
best ploughs and axes, demand the sons—you have too r tun;
advertise:nents in your paper, says one—and not enough . fts.
reign news, cries another—and, as an auctioneer winds u p trig
catalogue, " various other things too numerous to mentios ~"
A short time ago we received a double letter unpaid fi o g
distance of 200 miles. We cared but little about the pc s ago
as we broke the seal of the envelope, feeling assured at
was a remittance; but imagine our disappointment, g e.ttle
reader, on finding nothing but an illegible scrawl of some 1 fty
verses of poetry! We give the last verse as a sample et .b%
whole.

" And now this young man has gone away
To morn his lot accrost the sea
His freends nicer more agin to see
Who he as left behind in Cana-eta-1"
And subsequently another unpaid letter came, inform' 1111. is
of his having " sint you sum orregenal powetry v‘ith y ou I‘lll
