THE WESTMINSTER REFORM
SOCIETY.
REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.
On Monday night, at seven o'clock, a most numerous and
influential meeting of the Westminster Reform Society was
held at Stannard's Hotel, Upper Wellington-street, Covent-
garden, specially convened for the purpose of receiving: the
report of the committee, in pursuance of a resolution passed
at a meeting of the society, which was as follows:—" That it
be referred to the general committee of the society to wait
upon the several gentlemen whose names may be submitted
to them, or who they may think desirable, from which this
society should make a selection of a candidate to be brought
forward at the next election for Westminster, in lieu of J.
T. Leader, Esq., M.P., who has signified his intention not
again to solicit the suffrages of the electors of Westminster,
and to ascertain how far their political opinions are in ac-
cordance with the principles of this society, and whether they
would be willing, if called upon by a requisition from the
electors of this city, to contest the same, in conjunction with
Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., and that the said committee re-
port thereon, at their earliest convenience, to another general
meeting of this society, to be called for that special pur-

pose."
Mr. Austin, of St. James's, having taken the chair, Mr.
Haggett, the secretary, presented the minutes, which were
confirmed.
The report of the general committee was then brought up
and read. It stated that in conformity with the resolution
of the 7th April, the general committee presented to each
member of the society a copy of the resolution, when many
names of those who were thought eligible were sent to
the committee. Measures were adopted to enter into a
correspondence with them, in consequence of which answers
were received, some declining the invitation, and others
acceding to an interview. Deputations were subsequently
appointed to meet the gentlemen, the result of which has
been that the following were selected (no delay having oc-
curred to ascertain the political wishes of all those with
whom an interview was obtained) :—Mr. Page Wood, Mr.
G. Thompson, Mr. S. V. Shelley, and Mr. C. Lushington.
The committee trust that such a candidate will be placed
in the field as the electors would support. It was after
much careful research that the committee arrived at the
conviction that the suffrages of the electors will be most
favourably exercised in support of Mr. C. Lushington.
A long discussion ensued, and an objection was raised to
the report that the committee had exceeded their instruc-
tions, by giving an opinion in favour of Mr. C. Lushington.
Mr. PROUT defended the report on the part of the commit-
tee, observing that there was no desire to dictate to the
society.
The report was then received, and ordered to be entered on
the minutes.
Mr. LEWIS, jun., then rose to propose Mr. G. Thompson to
contest the election in conjunction with Sir De Lacy Evans,
whom, without in the least attempting to say anything in
deterioration of Mr. C. Lushington, it was his desire to put
forward at the ensuing election ; at the same time there was
no gentleman, more than Mr. C. Lushington, who he would
wish to see second to him : his virtues were many—he had
proved himself an honest man in the House of Commons,
and he was of great family influence.—(Hear.) He was also
not a party man, and would carry out their opinions—he
meant upon free-trade.—(Hear.) lie had shown himself to
be independent of family interests upon the sugar question,
though he had a deep interest in that trade.—(Hear.) All
these things, however, Mr. G. Thompson would do, in addi-
tion to which he had a profound knowledge of affairs con-
nected with our possessions in the East Indies, which was a
subject of the utmost importance at the present crisis.-
-(Hear.) He had most powerful talents, which would exer-
cise a very beneficial influence in the House of Commons.
He put his resolution.
Mr. GEESIN seconded it, remarking that Mr. G. Thompson
was not a man to get every day in the week.—( Laughter.)
Ile thought that if they made a selection of him, they would
not have much to find fault with. Had he been capable of
being bought he would long ago have been 'placed on the
shelf by the East India Company.—(Hear.) In the parishes
of St. Margaret and St. John's, though Mr. Cochrane had
appeared before him, there was a strong demonstration in his
favour. The committee ought to have made this report long
since.—(Hear.)
Mr. Pnour, who proposed that Mr. C. Lushington should
be selected, said, that the gentlemen who supported Mr. G.
Thempson thought of the man in his individuality who they
considered should be their representative, and not of the man
who could be secured at the poll.—(Hear.) The majority
he acted with in the committee were desirous to take the
person they could carry at the election, and wished not to be
under the necessity of deciding the votes of the electors.—
( Hear.) He valued the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and
would be happy to see him in the House of Commons, where
ho thought he ought to be. But the question with him was,
which was the one who would be likely to succeed ?—(HHear.)
His opinion of Mr. G. Thompson was, that he would not be
able to command the majority at the poll. That was the con-
viction of the majority of the committee, and in that convic •
tion it was that they agreed to offer the name of Mr. C.
Lushington. lie had been a tried man in the House of
Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He had voted for all the princi-
ples which were adopted by the society, and for many more.
--(Hear, hear.) He was in a position to command the wealth
and influence of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr.
Trout) would be ashamed to walk the streets of London -if
a Tory were returned ; and if Mr. G. Thompson., and Mr.
C,chrane went to the poll, he was fearful that would be
the result.. For these reasons, he moved as an amendment
" That-C. Lushington. Esq., be adopted by the society as the
candidate to contest the city of Westminster at the next elec-
tion, to succeed John Temple Leader, Esq., M.P."
Mr. TYRILVILL seconded the amendment, observing that
with respect to the two gentlemen he thought there ought to
be no hesitation, and that they ought to give their support to
Mr. C. Lushingtsn.—( Hear, hear.) It had been said that
Mr. G. Thompson was well acquainted with the state of our
Indian affairs. There were subjects which intimately con-
cerned them at home, and which he considered of more para-
mount importance, as the condition of Ireland. If that were
lost, what would be the use of India.—(liear, hear.)
Mr. It. CRIBB asked whether either of the candidates in-
tended to vote for the endowment of any church ?
Mr. Pum' declared that Mr. C. Lushington would not,
and,
Mr. LEWIS made a similar acknowledgment on the
part of Mr. G. Thompson.
Mr. G. PouNcEr said that if the society decided by one
only that Mr. G. Thompson should be put in nomination,
he would give him his support ; but the question was, can
they return him, and, whether, if he was to stand, two
Tories would not be at the head of the poll.—( Hear, hear.)
He could not imagine such a contingency. It was the duty
of a candidate not to divide the interest, and he would say to
the credit of Mr. C. Lushington, that if he supposed he was
likely to create a division he would not stand.—(Hear.
hear.) They Were bound to consider the opinions of the
great body of electors not connected with the society.—
(Hear, hear.) It was necessary that they should have a
gentleman as their representative who would go to the
House of Commons with a triumphant majority.—llear,
hear.) It was his opinion that they could not return Mr.
G. Thompson, and he was assured that Mr. C. Lushing-
ton would make an able, eloquent anti honest representa-
tive.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. PARKES, solicitor, observed, that they ought to be
careful what steps they took that evening. Ile came there
perfectly independent, with the intention to give his support
to that gentleman who he thought would have any chance
of being returned.—( Hear.) The present constituency was
not that of former times, as the rate-paying classes had
assisted to destroy the body of scot-and-lot voters, who were
the cream of the electors in former times, and who enabled
Westminster to stand at the head of the independent
boroughs.—(Hear, hear.) They were to consider whether
they could return two Liberal candidates, and, if so, which
of the two gentlemen before them was the likeliest to suc-
ceed. Mr. C. Lushington was long connected with the
religious liberty question, and it was a subject in which
the whole of the dissenters took a deep interest. He was
also a member of the Church of England.—(Hear,' hear.)
The dissenters had the greatest confidence in him, while
he was a man who did not seek a place from Government,
who would not ask for place, and who would not take
one if it was offered to him.—(Llear hear.) He had a
high opinion of the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and he
would be misled in his opinion of him if he thought he
would not decline to stand when he was not likely to suc-
ceed.—(Hear. )
Messrs. Lewis, sea., Bidgood, jun., Coppock, Labrum, &c.,
addressed the meeting, when Mr. Lewis replied, intimating
that he trusted they would all abide by the decision of the
society.
The amendment was then put and carried, after which
Mr. LE BitErroN proposed, and Mr. DISE seconded a vote
of thanks to the committee:(a similar vote being awarded to
he chairman).
The meeting terminated at a late hour.

coloured plumes on their heads, some threehundred bels
.being attached to different parts of the harness. Her Majesty
1
was attended by her Lady in Waiting, the Marchioness of
Douro,
and the Prince drove. Lord A. Paget followed in
the Russian sledge, and Colonel Seymour, Prince Albert's
Equerry_ in Waiting, followed on horseback. His Royal
Highness led the way from the grand entrance down the
Castle-hill, and entered the Great Park by the Long Walk.
But unfortunately a considerable fall of rain came on shortly
after they set out, and the snow was reduced to an un-
pleasant state of solution. Nevertheless, the party drove to
the foot of the hill on which stands the statue of George
and after an absence of three quarters of an hoof re ,
t.o
the Castle.
SOLDIER FOUND FROZEN TO DEATII.--CHATHAM,
JAN. 21. Yesterday morning, as some boys were sliding on
a pond, at the rear of the Observatory, belonging to the
Royal Engineers, they observed the elbow
the ice ; and part
and of the
shoulder of a soldier sticking
.up out of after
some time, they reported the circumstance to the Sergeant-
Major of the troy al Engineers, who, with assistance, and a
boat-book, repaired to the spot. The boat- hook not being
long enough to touch the body, one of the engineers put on a
pair of water-boots, and walked to the spot, when the ice
broke with him, and he then drew the dead body out.
From the position of it, the legs and arms being contracted
with the agonies of death, it was evident that the poor
fellow had mistaken his road, as he had nearly gone acress
the pond before the ice gave way. The deceased was attached
