ELECTION NEWS.
WESTMINSTER.
A public meeting of the electors of Westminster was held
on Saturday night, at Willis's Rooms, to secure the return
of General Ec•ans for the city of Westminster. The chair
was taken by the Hon. Grenville Berkeley. Among the
gentlemen on the platform were Sir H. W. Barron, M.P.,
Colonel Cannon, and a !minter of influential electors.

Tlie CHAIRMAN said he was a Liberal, and, being so, felt
it his duty to do the • utmost in his power to secure the re-
turn of his friend General Evans.--(Hear, hear.) It was not
his intention to enter at any length into the merits of the
General, for they were well known. What he would urge,
therefore, was for all present t) use their utmost exertions
to return him by a large majority.
Mr. GEESIN, of St. James's, moved the first resolution,
•
"That this meeting highly appreciating the past services of
Sir De Lacy Evans, during the time he represented this city
in Parliament, pledges itself to use every exertion to promote
his return."
Mr. A'BEcKErr seconded the resolution, which was carried
with great applause.
Sir 11. BanrioN addressed the meeting at some length.
He ended by saying, General Evans had long been a tried
man, and in voting for him they would vote for their own
principles and for the great interests of the country, without
respect to party or any faction.—(Cheers.)
General Sir DE LACY EVANS, on rising, was received with
enthusiastic cheers. He thanked them sincerely for the
honour they had done him by the resolution they had come
to. He believed a simple narrative of the circumstances
which caused him to appear before them would be satisfac-
tory. Neither he nor they had anything to do with the
nomination of Captain Rous as a Lord of the Admiralty.
That nomination compelled him to vacate his seat; and by
that seat being vacated the electors of Westminster were
forced to come to some decision—a duty was imposed upon
them, the electors, and upon him their former servant and
now their pre...ent candidate. He went down to Hamp-
stead to dine with a friend, and at eleven o'clock a friend
came to him stating that the electors of Westminster
had. taken' the subject into consideration, and - that
his immediate presence Was required at the meeting of the
Westminster Reform Society, where a discussion had taken
place, and a resolution had been almost unanimously come
to, that he should come forward as their candidate. He ac-
cordingly attended, and was received most enthusiastically
by hia friends.—(Applause.) There are some sort of people
who say that a contest would be very inconvenient now, but
he would ask, could he with honour or propriety refuse the
call ?—(Cries of " No, no.") He was not there to state his
principles. A candidate is generally required to give some
account, or to explain some discrepancies. At all events he
had no discrepancies to explain. His principles were tole-
rably well known. But it was useless for him to talk of his
principles ; they are, as they always have been, unchanged.
—(Cheers and laughter.) So says his Gallant opponent.—
(Laughter.) But Capt. Rous must not suppose that you are
so easily gulled. If he thought so, he will find that he was
rather gulling himself than you. When he says that his prin-
ciples are unchanged, he means that with one or two he has
voted as he ought to do, and as he finds Sir R. Peel says he
must.. Then, if that be the case, he must be a high Tory. lf,
however, you vote fora high Tory, the result will be most fatal.
He would give the Government his support; but there was
a vast difference between giving his unqualified support to
certain measures, and giving his confidence to a Minister.—
(Hear, hear.) How was it possible to give confidence to a
Minister, unless you have some means of testing what the
general line of his policy will be? Is there a man who will
venture a guess what the next meitsure will be? He be-
lieved that there was not a man behind the Treasury bench
who would presume to say what would be the character or
colour of the next measure. The Gallant General then pro-
ceeded to refer to the effort of Sir Robert Peel to oppose the
attempt of the Dissenters to get rid of the Test Act. Upon
that measure, and upon the questions of slavery and Catholic
Emancipation, they always found the Government offering
its utmost resistance, until by the renewed efforts of Lord
John Russell and his party, with which he was associated,
backed by the public voice, the Ministers were obliged to
yield. Latterly, the advocates of free trade, the leading
men of whom being formed into the Leag—(Cheers)—
consisting of Cobden—(Applause)—Bright, Alli Gibson, have
supported a cause to the principles of which Ski R. Peel had
at length found it necessary he should give his adhesion.
The Gallant General then entered into the history of the
course taken by the Reformers of Westminster to get rid of
the house and window duties ; and asked the electors, " Did
they suppose that Captain Rouse would support a motion for
the repeal of the window duties?"—(Cries of "No.") He
begged leave to say that he (General Evans) would.—(Ap-
plause.) The Gallant General expressed his hopes of final
success, observing, that Liberals, without distintion of station,
from the most aristocratic to the most humble humble in so-
ciety, including some two or three dozen of the historical fa-
milies of the country, had come forward to give him their
support, among whom were Lord Ebrington, Lord Shelburne
Lord Duncaneon, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord W. Fitzwilliam,
Mr. T. Duucombe, &c. He had a deep sense of the record of
their opinion of his past services; and he was grateful for
the confidence they had reposed in him. The Gallant General
took his seat amidst the most rapturous applause.
Thanks were then voted to the Hon. Chairman, and the
meeting broke up.

cepted the Chiltern HtialredF, took place to-day, at the
Castle, here It was pretty generally understood that George
Finch, Esq:, ,of Burley-on-thellill, in the immediate
vicinity, would be elected. This gentleman has already been
in P filament, and is universally esteemed in this, his neigh-
bourhood. So little excitement existed on the subject, that
the proceedings at the Castle were more than half over before
140 people were assembled within its walls. The time ap-
pointed was ten o'clock, and shortly after John Gilson, Esq.,
( High Sheriff), the Rev. Heneage Finch, George Finch, Esq.,
&c., took their seats on the platform.
The HIGH SHERIFF -said it was unnecessary fa him to
do more than call upon them to nominate some tit and proper
person to represent them in Parliament.

Mr. J. M. WINGFIELD proposed George Finch, Esq., as a
fit and proper parson to represent the county in Parliament.
—Mr. BAKER, who entered into a long diatribe on Mr.
Dawnay, their recent representative, concluded with the re-
raark. that he had great pleasure in seconding the nomina-
tion of Mr. Finch, believing he would not turn out a " slip •
pert' fish."—(Laud cheers and laughter.)
Mr. G. Frxerr hoped he was entitled to the compliments
which had been heaped upon him. He did not wish to in-
trude on the time of the meeting, but nothing was more to be
desired than that a good understanding should exist between
them.—(Hear.) He adopted, therefore, the opinions put
forth in Mr. Noel's address, which he hoped would be quite
sufficient.—(Loud cheers.) There could be no doubt but
they were every way sufficient, and were it not that the
emergency was extreme, and that it was considered
essential and important that every man should be at his
post, and that notwithstanding the dispatch used in
sending to Mr. Noel, he could not possibly return in time,
he would then be addressing them.—(Cries cf "Hear, hear.")
He had, however, under the circumstances, yielded to the
kind wishes that had been expressed to him, and presented
himself to them that day for their suffrages, although under
the circumstances he had. not had time to issue an address.
His principles were strictly Conservative. When he last
addressed a meeting of the Protection Society there were
only rumours abroad of the intentions of Sir 'liehert reel to
introduce some measure detrimental to their-interests. Very
many of his old supporters were unwilling to believe that he
would betray his party, and wanted to watch to see what his
measures were before condemning them. :The reality, how-
ever, exceeded their worst fears.—(Hear, hear.) 'Why, Sir
Robert Peel admitted the injury he was inflicting on agri-
culture, by his offer of compensation—a compensation which
was quite ridiculous, and in that county would not amount
to one-fiftieth of their loss.—(Hear, hear.) He con-
sidered. that their having the duty, such as it was
for three years, better than nothing. Something might occur
before the expiration of that time, war might take place, or
the people of England, seeing the inevitable destruction of the
agricultural interests, and not wishing for their ruin, might
retract.—(Cheers.) He entered into a brief review of the dis-
cussion which had already taken place in the House on the
question ; assuring the electors in the end, that if he were
favoured by their support, and they knew his opinions, he
should deem it an honour of the highest kind.---(Loud cheers,)
_ _

Mr. C. HEALY wished to ask Arr. Finch whether he would
oppose the All'itia Bill?
Mr. FINCH hoped r.othing would occur to disturb the peace
we now enjoy, but should there arise a necessity for embody-
ing the militia, he certainly could not say he would oppose
any law for carrying out that object.—(Hear.)
The HIGH SHERIFF having called upon the electors to
propose any other person whom they might think fit to
represent them, and there being no response, declared Mr.
Finch duly elected.
Mr. Fr:wiz having been girt with a sword, said, having de-
tained them so long already, he would then only declare his
gratitude for the honour conferred.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Sheriff, after which
the new Member was chaired round the town, accompanied
by a large multitude, who occasionally cheered most voci-
ferously.
