REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICII.
In an article which appeared in this journal last Sa-
turday in reference by the address of Mr. Montagu
Chambers to the electors of Greenwich, allusion was
made to certain rumours that were current, of an inten-
tion, on the part of the Government, to put forth another
Lord of the Admiralty as a candidate. We are glad to
find that these rumours had no solid foundation ; as we
learn from unquestionable authority, that the Govern-
ment is most favorably disposed towards Mr. Mon-
tagu Chambers, and would consider the return of that
gentleman by the borough of Greenwich, as an ex-
pression of approval of the present Ministerial policy.
We hardly see how any other feeling c)uld exist, as
Mr. Chambers, although unconnected with any poli-
tical party, and offering himself to the electors upon the
purest basis of independence, is known to possess
opinions so entirely in accordance with those of her
Majesty's present Ministers, upon all great public
questions, that it is not probable they would sanction
any opposition, by ono of their own body, to a gentleman
from whose powerful talents they Tiny reasonably auti-

cipate valuable support.
We are informed that some of the electors consider
the decisive tone we have adopted in favour of Mr. Mon-
tagu Chambers as rather premature; and that tht y would
have preferred our waiting until it should be seen what
other candidate might come forward. They forget that
" a bird in the band is worth two in the bush ".4,When
a gentleman of Mr. Montagu Chambers's eminence at the
bar, a leading member of the circuit in which this borough
lies, a person of liberal views and most independent
glad, is led by an honourable feeling of ambition to offer
himself to a particular constitency, in order that he may
be alike serviceable to himself and to his country, there
should be no coquetry in the matter; but there should
be, at once, some expressive reception to encourage him
in his suit, and indicate, " you are the man for us." As
an expositor of the feelings of a very large section of
the electors, we took the freedom to intimate, in our last
number, that Mr. Montagu Chambers might hang his bat
up, as soon as the worthy Admiral had taken his off the
peg, and make himself quite at home. We should not
have spoken so decisively, if we had not been aware of
the very strong feeling which exists in the borough in
favour of the candidate; not alone from local associa-
tions and professional reputation, but from the delicacy
and high sense of honour and political propriety which
induced him to withdraw from the recent election, in
order to avoid any embarrassment to the party to whose
support it might be supposed he would more immediately
appeal.—Kentish Mercury.
