MEETING OF THE UNITED COMMITTEE. OF

An advertisement appeared in yesterday's !leper stating that
James Pattison, Esq., having consented to become a candi-
date to represent the City of London, the attendance of such
electors as were disposed to unite in returning that gentle-
trawl, together with Messrs. Wood, Grote, and Crawford,
:should meet at seven o'clock last evening, at the Guildhall
Coffee-house,King-street, Cheapside, for the purpdse of form-
ing a central district committee. The electors accordingly at-
tended in great numbers ; but the place not being found suffi-
ciently commodious, the meeting was oliiged to adjourn to the
Paul's Head, Cateaton-street.
HENRY KINGSCOTE, Esq., being called to the chair, said, it
was the first time he had appeared in public, induced thereto
by the necessity of the occasion—the efforts now making by
the aristocracy of the metropolis to defeat the wishes of the
people.
RAIRES CURRIE, Esq., proposed the first Resolution. If
any one was cajoled by the smooth language of Sir Robert
Peel, he would only desire that man to look at the Baronet's
appointments. As to the prerogative of the Monarch, he was
as ardent a supporter of its just exercise as the most arrogant
loyalist; but he would, at the same time, respect the just pre-
rogative of the people, which they would soon be called upon
to exercise.
The first Resolution, pledging the meeting to merge all
minor differences, was seconded by
W. G. PRESCOTT, Esq., and carried unanimously. [For
the Resolutions at length, see our advertising columns.]
JOHN TRAVERS, Esq., proposed the second Resolution. It
was a meeting called for work and not for speeches. The
enemy had only to be grappled with to be conquered. He
was perfectly satisfied with their present position ; they had
three tried men, and another was to be proposed whose politi-
cal principles would be his best guarantee. He expressed the
fullest certainty of success, but at the same time insisted on
the necessity of exertion. For himself, he would put all other
business at present aside—not through any doubt of the issue
.-.but by. the greatness of the triumph to encourage others
engaged in the good cause throughout the country. He then
read the Resolution, which urged the necessity which was, im-
- posed upon the city of London to return four Reformers, and
thereby to set an example which would have the effect of
counteracting Government influence, by inciting the same spi-
rit throughout the, country. This they would effect by means
- united committee, as the principles of the candidates were
• precisely similar—( Loud cheers.)
BENJAMIN AISLABIE, Esq., seconded the Resolution. He
denounced the influence attempted to be exerted in the city by
the present Government, and expressed his sorrow at the re-
probate politicians at present in power, who, by sitting with
a man who broke his word to the city, had disgraced them-
selves.—( Cheers. )
FRANCIS WAKEFIELD, Esq., proposed the third Resolution,
being one of thanks and confidence in Alderman Wood, Mr.
Grote, and Mr. Crawford ; Mr. Pattison, he said, was the
person who was best adapted to fill the fourth place—( Loud
• cheers)—and when that gentleman had filled the situation of
their representative for some time, the constituency of London
would be proud of their selection. It was the first time that
they had had a Governor of the Bank of England in the ranks
of the people.
JOHN LaisrsoN, Esq., seconded the Resolution, and advised
all present to exert every means in their power to carry the
object of the Resolution into effect.
The Resolution was carried unanimously.
JonN BLACRBURNE, Esq., M. P. for Huddersfield, proposed
the fourth Resolution, recommending a union committee. He
expressed himself doubtful of the professions of men who were
not only opposed to carrying out the principles of the Reform
Bill, but whose whole lives bad been opposed to all reform.
WILLIAM GELLMAN, Esq., seconded it, and urgedthe meet-
ing to proceed to business to- morrow.
Mr. GROTE then came forward, and was most enthusiasti-
cally received. He spoke to the high character of the new
. candidate who had come forward, and urged upon the meeting
the necessity of sinking minor differences, insisting that they
should know no distinction but that line which separated the
friends of the people from anti- Reformers and mock-Reformers.
Of the advantage of united committees he could speak from
experience, having been Chairman of that which, in 1831, by
returning four Reformers had, in a great measure, influenced
all the returns by which the late great Charter had been gained.
In the present struggle he was confident their efforts would be
crowned with similar success.—( Cheers. )
Mr. CRAWFORD thanked the meeting for the confidence
which they reposed in him, and expressed his great satisfac-
tion at the prospect of having Mr. Pattison associated with
him and his colleagues in the representation of the City. He
would not, as they were met for business, not speech-making,
press further on their time than to remind them, that with
themselves and on their exertions it depended that their efforts
should be successful.
Mr. PATTISON next rose, and was greeted with repeated
cheers, which lasted for several minutes. His language, he
said, was not adequate to express the feelings which then
pressed upon and overpowered him. He came before them a
- new man ; but, though a new man as related to politics, he
was an old merchant of that city, for the representation of
which they called upon him to stand as a candidate.—( Im-
mense cheering.) He could assure them with the utmost sin-
cerity that he felt the deepest gratitude for the confidence
which they appeared willing to repose in him, and the high
trust which they_were disposed to place in his keeping. This
disposition on their part he would onTy attribute 'to the opi-
nioenns
sexpressed in his address, and the kind feeling which his
friends exhibited towards him.—( Hear, hear.) He would
not express the surprise which he felt when, on Saturday
- morning, he had been called on to stand forward as a candi-
date for the City of London. Up to that time Ire had no
thought, no expectation, of being placed in such a position.—
(Cheers, and cries of " You shall represent us.") On Sa-
turday a deputation had called on him, requesting he would
permit himself to be put forward ; but the call came upon him
so unexpectedly that he was compelled to pause for some time
before he could give an answer to a proposition most honour-
able to any merchant in London, namely to represent in Par-
liament the greatest city in the world.—( Cheers.) Had he only
considered his own private comforts, he might perhaps be in-
clined to decline the honour ; but pressed by his friends, and
giving it his most earnest consideration, he thought he would
abandon his duty if at such a moment he did not respond to
the call.—(Cheers.) His feelings as an Englishman prevailed,
and he determined to come forward and espouse the cause
which was endeared to every true Briton.—( Vehement cheer-
ing.) This was his first appearance in so large an assembly.
He came before them unpractised in the language or the tact
of public meetings, and he trusted they would put a liberal
construction on his deficiencies.—( Cheers.) Whatever else
might be his deficiency, he should never be found wanting in
the fulfilment of whatever engagements he entered into with
them. If elected to represent their great City in Parliament,
he would closely attend to its interests. He would abide by
his address, not swerving from it one single syllable ; but at
the same time he would wish to have it distinctly and fully
understood, that the new duties upon which he entered should
not in their performance trench in the slightest degree upon
those important ones which he had now to execute. —( Hear,
bear, and cheers.) He would conclude by assuring them that
should he be elected, they would find him a zealous advocate
in the cause of reform.
Mr. Pattison concluded amidst the most enthusiastic
cheering.
Mr. BENJAMIN WOOD returned thanks for his brother, who
would have been present had he known of the meeting in
time, but he would be up from the country to assist the
Committee.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
separated ; the greater proportion adjourning to the Guildhall
Coffee-house to make arrangements for rendering the united
Committee more 'fficient for its object. It was proposed at
the meeting to enter nto subscriptions, but it was objected,
that such a proceeding w. only necessary to those who re-
sorted to corruption, and that tne Committee would arrange
for all necessary and legal expenses.
