which he solicited their suffrages. He was not then young
in the world—he had then lived long enough in it to
have had his opinions matured. He had remained
consistent throughout his political course. No man could
charge him with a departure from those principle which he had
professed eight years ago from the same platform.—( Cheers.) In
the year 182.5 he remembered attending a large meeting in the
Egyptian Hall, the purpose of which was, if possible, to
effect a change in the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) Then all the
City concurred in the proposed change. They had
Mr. Ward, Mr. Horsley Palmer, and others of that class, all
concurring that such a change was due to the country and sound
policy.—( Cheers.) Why those gentlemen had thought pro-
per to change their tone he knew not.—(Cheers and laughter. )
For they had at all times and on all occasions shrunk from the ques-
tion, and never in a more formal manner than in theaddress of the
opponents. He was sufficiently known to the commercial wo Id
to reneer it unnecessary for him to state that he has
perfectly wilting and most anxious to extend the freedom of corn-
mecer as far as possible. He had in early life been converted
to those principles in a most uncongenial soil.
In Indir he had seen the vice of the system of monopoly
an he was gild to see several of his Eastern friendsaround him.
which prove- that the principles he had then formed were ex-
tendiv. Ire did not wish to detain them after what had al-
ready taken place, and would with much cheertulness leave the
cause in their hands.
Mr. PATTISON--When he was first introduced to their no-
tice, when Sir R. Peel dissolved Parliament in 1834 and 1835,
he stated that he was an ardent Reformer, and he begged to
sate that he wes so yet. On that occasion he was a very:unwilling
candidate, but lie was told that by coming forward he might
do much good 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. ) He had
never given any but an honest vote—(Cheers)—his votes
were registered, and there was not one of that he
would wish to withdraw.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
He was still an unflinching Reformer, and on all
occasions it would give him much pleasure to support a Go-
vernment, headed in one riouse by Lord Johu Russeli—
(Cheers)—and in the other by Lord Melbourne.—( Cheers. )
They were aware he was no orator ; he would, therefore, con-
tent himself, on the present occasion, with saying that the
greatest pleasure he could receive, would be to be re-elect,d
at the next, and the citizens of London would give hint tae
Noble Lord as a colleague.
Mr. HAWES said a duty devolved upon him which, although
almost unable to do justice to it, he would cheerfully perform,
because with his utmost strength, and with all his might,
he had embarked in the Government cause, which they were
assembled to support.—(Great Cheering.) On that occasion
they had shut their doors to none.—( Cheers.) They held
their meeting in the face of day; they had sent out no letters to be
presented at the door.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had,
as upon all previous occasions in the City of London, discussed
a great public question with open doors.—(Cneers. )
After an excellent speech, which we are sorry time will not
permit u, to report, the Honourab e Gentleman proposed
a rese!ution, " that, determined to support the great measures
recently proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, and im
pressed with the high importance, commercially as well
as politically of the principles involved in those mea-
sures, the meeting yiedge themselves to promote,
to the utmost of their power, the election of
Lo ezl John Russell, and the re-election of the other three
candidates.
Mr. R. CURRIE, M.P., seconded the motion which was
passed unanimously with applause.
Three cheers were given for the Queen.
After which a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the
Chairman upon the motion of Sir M. Wood, seconded by Mr.
Crawford.
Three cheers were then proposed for Commodore Napier,:and
loudly and vehemently responded to.
Commodore Name then came forward and said, Gentle-
men, I certainly did not come here to-day to address you,
because I felt that it would be perfectly out of
place, to do so. But, as I have been brought
forward, and shall briefly make a few observations.—(T"e-
mendous cheering ) With regard to what the Noble Lord
(Lord J. Russell) has said with respect to the navy, the Noble
Lord has given us a reason for increasing the national expenses
that the naval force of the country required augmentation.
and that while France and Russia here increasing
their naval power and resources, it became Great Bri-
tain to increase her naval force in a corresponding degree.
If there was any fault on the part of Ministers, it is that they
had not increased our navy long beesre they did.—( Hear,
hear.) Now, that is done, I hope every one will support the
Government of the Noble Lord, as I shall do, if I have the
honour of being returned for Marylebone.—( 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 compliment paid not to the conduct of en
individual, but to the high and important character of the office
he had filled.—( Hear, hear.) He could only assure thins
that, if there was ever affixed to a cause a support that was
calm, disinterested, and free from envy, party, and formal
bias, and which was arrived at by deep consideration, and held
by equally firm conviction, it was the suppi rt which he had that
day endeavoured to 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 r n nfluenced
upon that occasion by parey or persisted considerations. About
four tears since tie hail been requested by her Ma-
jesty's' Government te I undertake: with three other gentle-
men the duty ef investigating the condition of a very
extensive class in this country, i a nely, the hand-loom w' et •
v.srs, who was then suffering the severest privations; and the
Committee appointed upon teat occasion recommended for toe
alleviation of those distresses precisely the same measures as
those brought forward by Her Majesty's Government. He
w: s sure that by a liberal system of Commercial policy they
might secure to the country that further prosperity which
was withie their reach. but that if those measures should be
neg.ec ited in his conscientious belief that prosperity would gra-
dually decay with the eheres of England, and would wing es
flight to countries flourishing under a better ord, red state of
th ogee--(Loud cheers. )
Three cheers we a then proposed fur Lord John Russell,
and It e, cheers for the four Candidates, which was loudly
respo :ritd to by the meeting.
..,r. TRAVERS then came forward, and expressed a hope
that the electors would hereafter be at tF ear posts, endeavour-
in s to return Lord J. Russell and his three colleagues, to re-
use ent them in the ensuing Parliament, sn.l fur all of them
h, invoked their support.
They must not forget. their duty of canvaosing ; they mast not
forget that the poll drew nigh ; and they must not forget
their duty on the gay of polling, to bring as many voters to the
poll a, possible.
Thee cheers were then given for Mr. Trevor!, and
Mr. LLOYD, the Chairman, in announcing the dissolution
of the meeting, earnestly requested all the electors of London
to gird themselves up for a mighty conflict. The electors
must recollect that by the present law there was only one day's
polling.
On the arrival of Lord John Russell in the Committee-room,
his Lordship was introduced to several of the influential com-
mercial gentlemen of the city, by whom he was warmly congra-
tulated on presenting himself as a candidate fo^ their suffrages.
'1 he utmost enthusiasm anpeared to prevail amongst the elec-
tors present., and loud and hearty cheers were given by the
vast. crowd assembled in front of the Tavern, as the candidates
and other friends took their departure. The meeting broke
up shortly be four o'clock.
Lord John Russell on leaving the platform was most enthu•
siastically cheered.
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,

QUARTER TO THREE.

The mercantile advices from America to-day appear to have
given, on the whole, more satisfaction to the traders in tlisi
City connected with that country ; and, as regards our British
North American possessions, the strong tide of emigratior.
that has set in upon them seems to augre well for their future;
prosperity. .It may be important to state, since agri-
culture is the main-stay of Canada, and most of
the parties leaving this country to settle there have:
that pursuit, in view, that the weather had become much m wit
favourable for farming operations. The change, indeed, had
been wonderful, the thermometer at Quebec having reached
80 in the shade. Wheat had come up 120 hours after beim
sown, and every other sort of vegetation was progressing with
sunilar rapidity. The loss of the emigrant ship Minstrel, wiliet,
it seems, was a sound vessel well known in the Canada' truly.
has created a painful sensation here.
