CITY ELECTIONS.

THOROUGH DEFEAT OF THE TORIES AT

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 93. —The Committee of Vice-Admiral
Sir Charles Rowley, K. C. 8., yesterday evening called a pub-
lic meeting of the friends of that gallant officer, as well also
of the electors of the Borough in general ; this was instantly
met by public invitations that all Reformers should attend.
The meeting was appointed for seven o'clock, but at an early
hour the doors were surrounded by a dense crowd, though by
sortie order or other from Rowley's Committee, they remained
dosed until the hustings at the neighbouring part of the room
were fully occupied b a band of their partizans. On the doors
being at length openedy , the room was fully crowded, and Sir
Charles with a few friends entered about seven o'clock. John
Garrett, Esq., a ourig gentleman of the half-and-half Tory
breed, was called to the chair - and this motion was seconded
°Y Mr. Lang, a gentleman Of well-known high liberal opi-
nions. The Chairman endeavoured to address the meeting
for the purpose of saying what they were assembled together
for, but the clamour and hooting, the hisses and cries of " No
Rowley," effectually prevented him from being heard, though
Mr. Lang vainly endeavoured to obtain a hearing for him ;
nothing, however, but dumb show was seen or witnessed, and
on his sitting down, Mr. Lang again endeavoured to obtain
his ear, in order that he might address the assembly to
listen to all parties, but the Chairman determined, that
Mr. Henry Deacon was in possession of the attention
f the meeting. This young gentleman, who was lately
reforming editor, and in that capacity acted as a secretary
to a great reform dinner of one thousand electors, recently
ratted round to the Tory side, and being in high favour with
the party, wanted to make a speech, in order to propose a re-
solution complimentary to the gallant Admiral; not a word,
however, could be heard beyond a yard of him ; and though
we can bear testimony that he bore the scoffs of a thousand
Persons with a smiling and good-humoured countenance, yet
nothing more could be known than that the held a piece of
Paper in his hand, which looked like a resolution, and which
was seen to be handed to the Chairman. When he
was tired, or when his wind was expended by bawling, he
slipped behind the chair of the President, and a drivelling old
gentleman of eighty, Captain Gourlay, must next step forward
as the seconder. The only word we could catch from him
was, that he was a reformer. This raised so hearty a laugh,
that all his remaining sentences were drowned. The Chair-
roan now endeavoured to read the resolution, which had not
been heard, and by the intercession of Mr. Lang with the
meeting, it was tole Ably well understood as being complimen-
tary in a high degree to the gallant Sir Charles ; but mark
now the tact and the preconcerted determination of the
Party. The Chairman having a moment's hearing, without
asking if any person had an observation to make on the reso-
lution, or any amendment to put forward instead of it,
at once asked those who were in favour of it to hold
up their hands. His party previously trained, put their hands
before his eyes, and he declared the resolution carried. Every
endeavour was made to show him that he was out of order in
big irregular mode of proceeding, but without effect. This
dumb show, in their opinion, would enable them to blazen
forth to the public a resolution which they should show was
Ileanimously carried, and was all the pretence, hollow and
false as it was, that they wanted. Sir Charles Rowley then
got up, and being toothless and windless, and wherewithal, by
the conduct of his supporters, in high disgrace, attempted to
be heard : this was quite useless. We were within twenty
feet of him, and never could collect a syllable. But presently a
faint cry of a cheer for the candidate, and a cheer for the
chairman, were heard among the Lawyers and packed hirelings
on the hustings, and the party slunk out of the room. A
universal cry was now raised that Mr. Lang should take the
Chair, but this had been provided against. The hirelings had
been sufficiently paid to retain possession of the platform, after
their superiors had retreated, but being unwilling that you
should lose this account of the Tory defeat, we quitted ; but
You shall have a further account to-morrow. A more dis
graceful Tory proceeding we never heard of.

that in this Ward a poll of only two days is customary instead
of three, as in the other Wards of the City.]

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Finding in the Morning Herald of this day, the fol-
lowing passage, in a wishy-washy article about Mr. Stanley,
Why could not Mr. Stanley exclaim of his chief (Earl
Grey), whose statesmanlike skill and firmness he now so
Warmly eulogises--
Nil desperandum, to duce Teucro?'"
.1 shall feel obliged by your informing the Editor of that
papen in answer to his question, that Mr. Stanley is a scholar.
I am, Sir, y our obedient servant,
