soluMr. C. W. HALLETT then came tbrward and proposed -the first re-
tion, In doing so he said, 11aiii
of propo,ing a resolution at a public
ment of his position; kit how much more had his difticultv been
a task
enhanced on the present occasion, when he remembered that he WO(
placed in the tinenviatle position of being compelled to follow their
Chairman, who had so ably and eloquently addressed them.- -(heal',
hear.) Having been selected to propose this resolution, he would
ask, although an humble individual, What had his Hon. Friend rapt
Rous done up to that moment to forfeit the confidence of his con-
stituents?—( Hear, hear.) He was ready to admit- that Capt. nous
had changed his opinions in one respe?t, and this was one .of the
charges made against him ; but he would say, that when it
had been insinuated against- his Hen. Friend that lie had made
this change in his opinions in order to find favour with 'ibe
present Ministry and to preettre a place—he would say that such was
a base and unthunded calumny, and unworthy of the party by whoa.]
General De Lacy Evans was supported. (Cheers.) It was. a well-
known fact that Captain Roils delivered a sprecli last session in
Parliament upon this cplestion, in whiell he _stated very fairly What
his sentiments were ; but had not many other men as we'.l a, Captain
Potts had reason to qualify their opinems since then upon this ques-
tion ? (Hear.) Though he (Air. Hallett) was but an humble
individual, and therefore his opinions were wit of much importance,
still he would say that he had ale-ays honestly given expression to
them, anti was as much opposed as any man to restrictive ditties,
while at the same time he was equally an enemy to radical and
destructive doctrines.—(Cheers and groans.) Ile was decidedly
simporter of tree trade in all its branelies, and it was as the advocate
of free trade lie now addressed this ITlceting.----(Cheei's.) There was
only one other topic to which he would allude, and it appeaecal to he
one on which ltis Gallant Friend Captain hens AN/Cared to have for-
fei.eil the good opinion of his constituents, and that was, that ha 11:0
aceepted office under the present Government.—(Creat uproar and
clamour, amidst which the speaker real the resolution entrusted to
him to propose.)
Hattie COCHRAN, Esq. M.P., said, in rising to aildre,A the meeting,
he dhl trot mean to trespass very pinch on -their attention. But he
begged to reeal to them the fact that his father had stosd on a
Chimer occasion for Westminster. mei that his (Air. Coltrait's) name
was not unknown to the city of Westalinster.—(('beers.) That nanie
was a AAVaI aml as such it was independent of private consi-
derations or private friendship, mid thereby they might understand
what had interested hint in I atptain I:olts.—(('heeis and noise.) Ile--
believed drat a tnore aide and :t more h)tturable efficer was not to be
found Hine the Gallant Captain.--(liear,:hear.) lie needed not
reeal to them the eircumatances nude)* whielt he brought his ship
across the .Ramie.—(Noise and cheers.) It had been very truly
remarked that a man gallant in sue WO gallant. M everything;
lie did not believe the gallant Captain to he the mart who could stool)
to meanness in any one thing.—(Noise, and three cheers Slur Evans.)
cotdd,lenc,. in tier Jlaje-i,i Mr. t!oeinant proceeded—The Gallant Officer told them that lie hail
and trunhte —tykes many uf' (to.l::lCV:l;3lTACiepinir/it'k:l—el'°(aCign:°acii—{lifisuti''i'S63r. I°):fu larter43'eti:il. el ever adopted that course.—(Some delay
-
wottl regret that they Laid
was dere caused by the gesticulations of a ragged youth, exalted
against the opposite wall, and evidently haranguilig iii nivotir of
General Fxans.) As free traders, they asked always for fair play.
Ile was sorry he did not see am instance of it tii6re. lie hoped th..y
ivellid but give hint so much as they Would claim in other instances
themselves. Ilia as he had nothing more to say, he would sit down,
after seconding the resolution, trusting they would give the Gallant
Gentleman their aid on the day of election.
The CHAIRMAN then put the following resolution to the meeting,
when it was carried by a large majority :—" That this locating are of
opinion that the conduct of Captain Roils in Parliament, and his at-
tention to the local interests of the city, entitle him to the einitidenee
of the constituency at large."

i Mr. FRI:It:NUN rose, amid m»neli confusion, and said he did
net imagine that in any one of the gentlemen there could
he any indisposition to hear the remarks of a man like
themselves. Ile saw malty other gentlemen in the meeting who
were advocates of free trade ;
but, though advocating, these princi-
ples, they refused to hear these who held the seine sentiments.
There could be no doubt whatever in the mind of a thoughtful man
that at. the present time he could mot speak on any question so its to
meet the views of a large assembly; but lie thought the least they
could do was to give him a patiant hearing ; and he, as an English-
man, aeinandeel it. Ile did not mean to detail the meeting• but he
would have his say, whether the itteetinlwettld hear, or whether
they would disturb. A resolution lied already been put to themert-
ing, and a show of hands taken neon it, and it had been carried by
a large majority. He thought, theretere, that it best became the mi-
nority to conduct theniselvea bnietly. There was no doubt but that
the movement which had taken place had diet•urbeil the parties
of this country, and these were fast tending to annihilation. What were they then to do? Two parties had offered themselves candi-
dates for the city of Weettninstes —(Cries of " Rolls "—"Evans".)
He said it WAS 110 triumph which they sought; for the object which
they (tile friends of Captain Roils) had in view, was the country's
goo!), and if no other object were attained by that great movement,
netwithstalidina that it would cause the dissolution of parties, and
perhaps division between old friends, he was certain that that would
be attained with incalculable advantage. Me did not calculate
whether a man was of one party or of another, but whether the
man was a faithful repreeentatire of the principles. The question
ought not to be who was the man of the largest purse, or who was
the man who could expend most words, but who was the man who
would expend his best efforts in behalf of his country ; that was the
question.--(Cries " Rous," and confusion.) Mr. Freeman then
moved the tellowisig resolution:---" That this meeeting pledges itself
to use every exertion to secure the return of Captain liens."
Colonel Woon, M.P., rose to second the resolution. He said he
cheerfully came forward to discharge the task that had been imposed
on him. It was not because he honoured the I:silent Captain's powers
or his private worth, but because he was a supporter of the Minister
of the Sovereign in the undertaking in which he had engaged;--
(Cheers.) Into that ttnaertaking the Eight Hon, 'baronet had not
been driven by necessity ; his :Sovereign had imposed it upon him,
It seas a question which concerned the interests of the
country, it was one that ought to be attained by all parties
uniting together for the common prosperity of the nation. It was a
measure which considered all interests, and would benefit all; it
gave scot* for a fuller development of the powers of the nation, it
gave employment to an insTcasing population ; it imehackled their
industry from the fetters which had bound it down. Yet those
bands had been the protection Which same had talked
of, and given to labour. They all knew competition
they had to contend with ' from the foreigner. That
measure which Sir Robert hail brought in, and hie gallant friend in-
tended to support, gave them free scope ter the use of their eneagieia
to the best advantage against that competition. It gave them, also,.
unteatricted trade in the food of the people, and lie
(Colonel Wood)
heartily swished they might have plenty of it. lie knew the agricul-
turalists had nothing to say in their own behalf, except a repetition
of 1 heir antiquatest notions, ter they could not see when a measure waa
really ;or their adeantage. The gentlemen who had nrldressed them
before hint hart told them under what circumstances the Gaeta.
Captain had brought his ship aersas nigh the St. Lawrence without
a rudder._.-(Cheers.) Ile holSted the union jack, spread the sail as
the boom, and set the chili s heart for the British eltannel.—(Cheers,
and confusion.) Such was it at that moment with Sir Robert Peel,
left withoitt a friend. Ile looked- to tile Gallant Captain, Captain
Roes, and said—" I know you ore -the friend of my country,
I will back you at the risk of anything.---(CereaS eheeting,)

that last year, when there was a very string; opposition to commie of
the measures of Sir Hobert Peel, he (captain Roue)
aloud up in his place in Parliament, and voted hu
favour of the admission et' Australian corn into this country
upon the same terms as thos'e upon wade!' it seas proposed to admit
Canadian earn.—(Cheers.) The reason he did so was, that here-
collected that he recollected that the population of this country re-
ceived an inn -cute animal's- to the amount el' 400,000, and there-
fore it would be imp ssible site this country is provide Nei for so
