ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

GREENWICH.

.'Last di-ening aliens-01y crowded meeting of the
electors of the borough of Greenwich was held in
the ball of the Woolwich Literary Institution, for
the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. W.
Angerstein, one of the candidates for the represen-
tation of the borough. Mr. Churchwarden Solly
occuOied the chair.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN referred to the principal points
contained in the address issued by him to the elec-
tors in. October last, and then proceeded io the
question of reform. He regretted that in many
parts of the country speeches had been made calcu-
lated to set class against class. If there was any
question more than another that the working classes
should approach in a more than ordinarily concilia-
tory spirit it was that of an extension of the franchise
to themselves. (Cheers.) He regretted that many,
:were considered the friends 'of the people,
should have acted so erroneously as to have made
speeches tending to set class against class. (Hear.)
He was willing:to extend the franchise to house-
holders rated at £s—(eheers)—and if they gave
him the opportunity 1.3, returning him as their re-
presentative ;he shouldyhe pi'epared to give eta",
measure that might be brought forward his consi-
deration and support, in order that every class of
the population Might be represented. (Cheers.)
Everything must be as affair of progress, and it
was not right that they should jump to the conclu-
sion that this or that measure was the right one.
(Hear, hear.) He had been asked whether he was
in favour of the Reform Bill proposed by Mr.
Bright. (Hear, hear.) He did not wholly agree
with that bill—there were some portions of it very
good, other portions which did not go so far as he
(Mr. Angerstein) had expressed in his address his
willingness to go, and there were also portions
whichthe Legislature would never agree to. (Hear.)
He had been told the other day that there were
already four -or five bills on the question of reform
laid. on the table of the House of Commons, and he
therefore held it would be unwise for any consti-
tuency to persist in pledges from their representa-
tives as to what extent they would vote. Mr.
Angerstein then referred to a correspondence which
had been published in reference to the proposed
docks at Greenwich, and resumed his seat amid
general cheering.
Mr. JACKSON moved a resolution pledging the
meeting to use every means to secure Mr. Anger-
stein's return as the representative of the borough.
Mr. G. W. BENNETT seconded the resolution,
which was carried by a large majority.

HYTHE.

FOLKESTONE, MONDAY EVENING.

A prospective vacancy has been created in the
representation of the united boroughs. of Hythe,
Folkestone, and Sandgate, by the candidature
of Sir John Ramsden (its present member) for
the West Riding of Yorkshire, and already several
addresses have been issued, and other candidates
promised. The only gentleman, however, who has,
as yet, commenced in earnest is Baron Meyer A.
Rothschild, who arrived by train this afternoon, at
four o'clock, and after meeting many of the electors
at the King's Head Inn, proceeded at once with his
canvass. •In his address, the Baron reminds the
electors that he has lost- no time in redeeming the
pledge he gave on the hustings, at the contest of
1847, to offer his services to represent the consti-
tuency in Parliament. Time, he says, has only
strengthened his conviction of the soundness of the
principles which originally recommended him to
their notice. He is, as he always has been, a liberal,
and should he be elected, it would be his earnest
endeavour to enforce, to the extent of his ability,
the practical adoption of those measures which may
yet be required to give full effect to that policy of
peace, economy, and reform which had distinguish-
ed the liberal party. lie is an advocate for the bal-
lot, and such an extension of the suffrage and re-
distribution of seats as would effectually secure a
full, fair, and free representation of the whole people.
He is by sympathy and conviction an ardent sup-
porter of the rights of conscience, and of opinion
that the position which the question of church
rates had recently assumed in Parliament rendered
their early abolition inevitable. Such are the
Baron's political views.—The address of Mr. James
Wilde, Q.C., states that he is a liberal, and con-
vinced that it is still necessary to pursue with
vigour the course of progressive improvement which
had been steadijy,advocated by the liberal party,
and which had of late years guided the_ legislature
of this country. Deeply interested in the great
question of Parliamentary reform, he earnestly de-
sires its satisfactory settlement. :Whilst wishing
to extend the franchise,so as to keep_ pace with the
growingintelligence of the people, he should not be
.prepared to ex.tenlit se far as to deprive the mid-
dle•classes of their present politiCal power. He is
in favour -of the abolition of church rates, and eco-
nomy in the public expenditure.

meeting to convey to Sir T. Redington their wishes,
and requested he would graciously accede to them.
The deputation was immediately formed, con-
sisting of a large number of Mr. Lever's most pro-
minent 'supporters. The deputation having gone
for about half an hour, during which time the
audience in the Court-house were enlivened by all
manner of "high jinks" and jokes,

Mr. It. PENWARDFN rushed in, and climbing
over the heads of those on the grand jury gallery,
called out, "Sir Thomas has resigned, in compli-
ance with the wishes of the constituency of Gal-
way."

This announcement was received with most ve-
hement cheering.
Sir T. REDINGTON then briefly addressed the
meeting. He observed that the constituency wished
that Mr. Lever should be returned as a proof of
the universal feeling in favour of the scheme he
had-so actively worked for transatlantic communi-
cation, and he (Sir T. Redington) felt that if such
were the opinion of the constituency, although he
might pursue the contest to a successful issue, yet
he would never feel happy if any one even sus.
petted that he had by his conduct endangered for
a moment the great cause in which their hearts
were all engaged. (Cheers.)
The meeting dispersed with three enthusiastic
cheers for Mr. Lever.
