blemish or decided abuse, or anything that was hurtful in
the constitution. The country was not to be satisfied
with Sir Robert Peel's ideas of prescription—he had said
the same thing of the borough system} and he for one was
not content. that the enquiry into abuse, which he con-
sidered necessary, should be conducted under the auspices
of any but a ministry willing and determined to cor-
rect those abuses so pointed out; and that he
would not give his voice for its being continued in
the hands of men who were blind to the most dark and fright-
ful abuses. It was exceedingly unlikely that those men who
had seen no abuse in the rotten-borough system could see
abuses any where.--( Loud cheering.) Let them see Re-
form in the hands of a Ministry who were willing to carry
it out fully, safely, and properly, and then the country would
be content, and not till then. It would be insane to suppose
that reform would be safe in the hands of those it was in at
present. If they reformed at all it would only be to
make the Reform Bill a mere nullity—( Great cheering.)
He would only further say that he came forward with a sincere
desire to be a simple instrument in the same cause in
which he had formally fought, and with a full dispo-
sition to act up to his former professions, and at the
same time to forward the cause of Reform by assisting
at the present moment all in his power towards the removal
of the present Ministers—(lmmense cheering for some
minutes)—of those Ministers whom- he regarded as the ene-
mies of Reform. His case was in their hands, it was for there
to decide between the four gentlemen who were before them,
anxious to give them all the advantages they derived from the
Reform Bill, and the three other gentlemen who were their
opponents and the friends of the present Government.
Mr. LYALL came forward, and was greeted with loud cries,
groans, and hisses, which lasted for, in fact, with scarcely any
intermission, the whole time he attempted to address the elec-
tors.
.e..Te said his principles had undergone no change since
o addressing them two years ago : he was

which was bad.—( Here the uproar was s.;
Secondary James was obliged to come forward intreat
order.)—After some time Mr. Lvall proceeded, statnia-
be would as far as he was able, endeavour to reform those
abuses and errors which in the lapse of ages had crept into our
institutions, he was in that respect a reformer. He had been
asked if he was a Church Reformer? To this he replied
that lee old endeavour so to distribute tho revenues of the
church as to make them rerf,...Tra-the duty for which they were
intended in the most efficient manner, but he would on no ac-
count agree to the alienation of church property. Hisses
and cheers.) fle would advocate the removal of restrictions
under which the Dissenters laboured, as far as regarded
what they considered the conscientious discharge of their duty,
but not in those things relating to the preservation of the
Church. The Ministry should always have his support when
doing that which was right, and he would as uniformly oppose
everything wrong.--(Much confusion and uproar.) He should
be happy to offer an explanation of his conduct since he had
been in Parliament, but was sorry they seemed so indisposed
to attend to him. In the event of his being returned as their
Representative, he would always endeavour to do his duty.—.
(Groans, and heers, and hisses.)
Here the Simmer came forward, and desired a banner to be
removed, inscribed wtth the words "Reform in Church and
State," which was immediately done.
Mr. CRAWFORD then came forward and was received with -
lone cheers. lie came before them that day to solicit their
suffrages and to solicit a cOntinuanee of th teonfidenee which
they had placed in him as one of the;r representatives
in Parliament; he did so upon precisely the same principles,
and with preeleely the eame views as he did eighteen months
ago, when he was honoured With their suffrages.—( Cheers.)
At that time, just at the close of the first session of the
Reformed Parliament, he did believe that the great
question
connected with the political and internal state of the
country wes set at rest, and he could not have believed that
the time would so soon come when agitation would be created
through the land by an attempt egain to set up a Tory Ad-
:

hoped that lie it vitae], to the position in which he
was placed, and he trusted that the electors would see

( Loud cheers.) The Reform Bill was nothing in itself—
it Wall only as a means of obtaining good. The means were

to see if any change had " taken* place in their sentiments, as
had been said by some people, but which he (Mr. C. )
was sure was without foundation.—( Cheers.) Much bad

Ministers had halt d dissolve the Parliament, with
a view, no doubt, of colletitite another Parliament
more subservient to its principles and its views, but he be-
lieved the Ministry who had so decides:
new little of the
feelings of the people, and he believed that the ;Minister
of the day had been ill advised from that great city.—
Cheers and great uproar.) That he had been so advised
was beyond all doubt, or else why was the glove throwredown
last Saturday week when a meeting was called for the purpose
of finding out Tory men to represent the City in the House
of Comiliens I The challenge had been made—the electors
were to decide the battle—and of the manner in which
they would decide it he had no doubt. (Immense cheer-
ing.) Every voter connected with the City, and who
eSeitlied Well to the pfesperity of his countryl joined him
expecting that result. He wrs not unmindful, and he spoke
now from the authority of the Times newspaper only.
of the address of one of his honourable opponents, which had
certainly made a deep impression ea his mind at the time he
read it. The gentleman of whom he spoke he ,should always
allude to with feeling§ of gloat feSpeet.--lie meant Mr. Wil-
son--( Cheers.) That gentleman had stated it the needing
to which all were admitted who signed the address--
(laughter, hisses, and groans)—that they had plenty of
ammunition, and plenty of powder and shot.--( Laughter,
and Cries of " Oh. oh. Mr. Wilson I") That was, no
doubt, a most important material fa iftlf; end ems that
would give great aid, but he could tell them that •
the Reform candidates had no such resources—_their
unanimous.—(Great
hopes and
cheering.)expeetations wereHe lit then
ofteelionnges being gthose who professed
in
any extreme line of political feeling, but he had.long felt that
a reform in the representation of the people Ives necessary.
for the prosperity of the eolintry. The people bee lidgot
that Reform, and with it he entertained no clout they would
get those improvements and reforms in church which were
so much called for.—(Cheers.) Lo these improvements
and refornit he alhotild ccillingly letid to as great an
extent as would not in his humble judgment injure the edii-
stitution as was now by law established in King, Lords, and
Commons. He svovld not detain them longer, but would thank '
them for the attention with which they heard him, and lie could
assure them that he had said nothing but what had pi;oceeded
from his heart. The lion. Gentleman then retiree affild§t
loud cheering, mingled with hisses from the Tory party.
W. WARD, Esq.,' then came forward, and was received
with mingled cheers and hisses. He said that he did not
now present himself to them for the first time—he had
been already actively engaged in their service, and he
was not conscious of any act of his by which he had
forfeited their confidence or disgraced himself..—( Cheers and
uproar.) When be had first Nene before them, it had been
enough for his ambition to act in accordance with the Con .
stitution then in existence. lie did not pretend to be a Corti
stitution marker.—(Cheers and hisses.) They hed a eons
stieution which was enough foe all geed purposes, if they but
acted wisely under its influence.—( Groans, and cries of
it's in a decline.") But when he found that his found
that his adversaries had expressed themselves in terms that
had hitherto been unknown—when he found that instead
'of allowing gentlemen who enteitained a different opinion in
politic.—to use the usualmeant of giving expressien to thei.
sentiments, they had attempted to put them down by clamour.
When he found that they hod thought proper to introduce
the King's name in terms disparaging to the character of the
head of the empire, he had felt it his duty to -come forward
and introduce himself to their notice, and enter hit piiotest
against such conduct.--(Groans and hisses.) He had heard
with the greatest satisfaction, the Honourable Gentleman
who had preceded him, express his determination to uphold
the institutions of the country and he had declared that he
would be satisfied to live under the iufluence of King, Lords,
and Commons. He (Mr. W.) regretted that he did not hear
those sentiments sooner, because he had heard sentiments of a
very different character, that he had felt it his duty to offer
himself to their notice.---( Groans and hissing.) They had
lately heard of persons coming forward to suggest alterations
in the Bill. They had heard of these extraor-
dinary persons, who were become Reformers of the Reform
trice.--( Uproar and much &approbation.) If, instead of
those persons, men who advocated moderate politics had
come formard, he (Mr. W.) should not have at-
tempted to disturb them. T. ( Uproar.) but having
the right of expressing his own feelings and opinions, he
should never hesitate in giving expression to his loyalty to his
Sovereign ; and the last thing which he should yield to was
intimidation.—(Great uproar.) They should not intimidate
him—( Cheers and uproar.) He hoped he should not
be misunderstood—he would never come forward
to give expression to one thing while he meant
another like a wolf in sheep's clothing. He therefore did avow
his firm confidence in the present Government, and his determi-
nation to uphold that Goverument, nor should he accept a vote
from any individual except on these conditions_( Cheers, and
great disapprobation.) Ia doing this, he was but acting in
accordance with the sentiments he always expressed—( Groans)
He had come there to meet them face to face—it was his de-
termination to do so on all occasions, and to speak
his mind as freely as they did. Much had been
said about the address that had lately been pre-
sented to his Majesty.—(Great uproar, and hootings.)
He boldly avowed that he took an active part in preparing
that address; he shared its responsibility, and he was proud
of the part lie had taken in it. He would conclude by avow-
ing his determination to uphold its spirit, so help him God.--
(Cheers, and great uproar.)
Mr. WILSON then came forward, and was received with groans
and hisses, mingled with cheers frOm the Tory party. He %as, an
old servant of the public, and an old soldier, like Alderman Weed.
therefore he came before them fearlessly, and all he ask ed for

was fair play, for fair play was a jewel. They had patiently
heard every man expressing liberal sentiments on the other side,
and all he asked was that himself and friends should be
listened to in returt. It had been attested by an Hon. Gentleman
who had preceded him, the system of reform would not go on
fairly and honestly in the hands of the Tories. If they called
him a Tory they did him injustice, because, although
he was more a Tory than a Whig he was ready to
put down all national abuses wherein they existed.
(Groans, and cries of " What are you then ?") He had
been placed in an unfair situation by the Honourable Gen-
tleman who had spoken last, because in a late speech
he madeihe had said that the Tories had come late into
the field that their enemies had occupied the camp, but
that he had plenty of powder and shot. The hon.
gentleman must have known very well what he (Mr.
W.) meant by that. What he meant was, that
they had a great many friends as well as the other party, and
that they had a good subscription-list. That was what he
(Mr. W.) meant by ammunition. Neither he, or any of his
friend expected to fight them in any other way than
that. With respect to the question of whether Ministers
would carry measures of Reform or not, he was satisfied that
they would adhere to their declarations, for they were
too honest to say what they did not mean.---( Disapprobation. )
With respect to what had been said of the minister having
used his prerogative unwisely, he recommending the dissolution
of Parliament, they should recollect that when the reform
ministry came into power, they had done the very same thing
and therefore the present Administration had only done what
the Reformers had set them an example of doing.—( Cheers
and uproar.) He thought that the late Administration
had been broken up of itself, the best man of that Ad-
ministration had retired from it.---(Hoar, hear.) Earl
Grey admitted that he could not eontroul the county
and what was left of it was tenfold weaker._(Hear and
hisses.) lie had come forward as an honest citizen to solicit
their suffrages in his favour and in that of his friends
If they returned him he would do his duty to the utmost
of his power to correct all those ,abuses which came
fairly berate them ; but, to use a vulgrr expression, he
was net prepared to go " the whole hog."--( Cheers and
groae:.7'• )
Mr, pare see came forward, and was received with tre-
mendous cheering. He begged to express his gratitude
for the warm feeling wi.:;:h had just been exhibited is his
favour. He wished sincerely. that:. e contest for that city had
been prevented. But it had been seo that a re-action
in favour of Toryism was abroad, and on the sZength of that
assertion three Tory candidates had started ; but he w.:.! bound
to say that if the Tories had accompanied_ him, (Mr. C...!?
to the various meetings at which he had been present, they
would be convinced that no re-action had taken place
in the country, but, on the contrary, the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed in the cause of Reform.---( Cheers.) He stood
before them as a determined and unflinching Reformer—deter-
mined to effect those rearms wliicht be n:cesssay in
Church and State; so far as .his vote and interest
would go.—(Loud cheers.) He should always support
those measures which were likely to stop every sort of abuse.
He feared that on the present occasion there was some hidden
adviser of the Throne who had misled the Monarch
He had proved himself a patriotic and constitutional monarch,
for without him they never would have obtained the Reform Bill.
No man in the realm felt more than himself on the subjec of
loyalty, but he was convinced thathis Majesty had been misled
men who had opposed that great bill of rights, the Reform Bill,
with all their power : but was it to be supposed that
in the course of four years, they should have forgotten all their
In a short time the new Government would be convinced
and that he would soon see the error be had committed.--
(Hear. ) They had been called upon to put confidence in
that reform was the byeword throughout the realm, and
so would continue to the end of time.--(Great cheering.)
As 21 speeches had already been delivered to them from
that place, he would merely request their attention
to the address which he had put forward. By that ad-
dress he was determined to abide, and in additon
he unhesitatingly declared himself a friene of triennial
Parliament, and likewise vote by ballot.--Loud cheers.(
These were not opinions which he had formed yesterday.--
They were of some years standing. There was nothing
sew in them to him, and therefore he was no new convert to
to such doctrines. He would now conclude that the cause
was theirs. It was the cause of the country, he left it
in their hands, and he was confident it would be triumphant.
—( Great cheering.)
Mr. MICIIAEL SCALES wished to ask the electors a few
questions.—(Cries of hear, and off, oft) They had per-
formed their duty to-day, as Reformers, but there was some-
thing more for them to do, namely, to go to the poll to-morrow
in a body, and present a bold front. The question was a
short one: Would they have their own representatives, .or the
nominees of the new Ministers ?—( Hear, hear.) They had
before them four men, and it only required them to be
ffrm, determined, and they would achieve a triumph which
would frighten, all the foeS of Reform. If they had a victory
in London, there would be victories all over the country. Let
them lay aside all differences on the present occasion. Let
them forget the acts of the late Ministers, and on no account
let anything disunite them.--( Hear, anderies of " Question.")
He would not detain them longer --(Cheers.)
Mr. Secondary Jamas then proceeded to call out the names
for the show of hands, when there appeared—e.
For Mr. Alderman Wood All
For. Mr. Grote

For Mr. Crawford All
For Mr. Ward about

dst loud cheering.
A poll was demanded on the part, of Messrs. ss••rd , *as,
and Lynn. (Uproar.)
A poll was also demanded On behalf of Messrs. Wood,Oroti,
Crawford, and Pattison.
D. W. HARVEY, Esq., Y. P. for Southwark, was then
called for, having just arrived at the hustings; and on his
coming forward was most loudly and enthusiastically cheered.
He said that he had come forward to propose that which every
man in the hall, he was sure, would most readily and
cheerfully second--a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs,
for their pre-eminent impartiality upon the present occasion.
In doing gO, perhaps he might be pardoned for a few mo-
ment's intrusion on the time of the meeting.—( Cheers.) It
was now upwards of twenty years since he, as a citizen,
of London appeared in that Hall as the advocate of a cause
which tat that time was subject to every species of malignant
nmeision--of that cause of which that period might be con-
sidered the :Jew' timen but the present was the glorious
harvest.—(Great cheering.) He was one of the only two
Members returned ,to the present Parliament, and who
had accepted his Majesty's invitation to meet his
servants at Westminster to deliberate upon the present critical
condition of the country—( Great cheering.) It had been
/natified into the Royal ear that there had been a re-action
in the public. fiiltid Unfavourable to the cause of Reform—
(Loud cries of " No, no.") The Borovgh of South-
wark bad responded to the call of his Majesty, and had
foterned two staunch and tried friends of the people, and their
example he Peteted would inspire the citizens of London and
the country at large let follow their example, being confident
if they did so, their efforts would be crowned with complete
success.
The pries were the men who in past times had introduced into
the niSitit4tiVOS of the country those intolerant nuisances and
grievances which it wit the design and purpose, are], with God's
grace, the determination of the people to remove.--(i.2:cers.)
Gentlemen were asked to give credit to the present Ministers,
as adredifeti of Reform. If they were true and honest Re-
formers, why this appefil te, the nation ?--( Cheers.) It had
' been said that the devil could 40610 Scripture to answer his
own purpose—so could Tories write and speali of Reform to
further their own cads--(Laughter And cheers)--tint the
people of Engiatid Could ilisgern the delusien and despise
the attempt.—( Great applatige.) The meeting, had
betel addressed by men of clear hands, and who
well kneff the thelins required to be adopted for the in
terests of the country, and if itattld ill become him to say
a word calculated to lessen the eeeet a those elaborate
addresses; therefore he would only say, use he had
beheld in that tremendous crowd of people a bßiin#r
Ipscriffed " Church and State." Save the State by timely
reform—save the Millen, l's stripping it of its earthly pollu-
tions, and inspire it with the peFlallteis tenets of genuine
Christianity.—( Immense cheering.)
The officer then declared the meeting to be adjourned, and
the polling to commence to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.
'The irilnlenae crowd then quietly dispersed at half-past 3.

The following are the dcaltiments read by the gallant Captain to
the meeting held at the British Coffee-house on Saturday

inclination which we feel to come forward at a moment when oar
