out truisms of Lord John Russell. (He:, 114;44-- witALTW''
Sir PETER LAURIE said he had very little today a -S
. ,
and in saying it he should not criticise th:e speeches
which had been delivered. What he wished to gay
was, that he had never voted for Lord John Rugsell,
and never would. (Hear, hear.) He told Sir-James
Duke the other day that he would never vote for
any one who supported Lord John Russell's resolu-
tion, thus preven ing the bill from going into com-
mittee. Every such person was an enemy to--his
country. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad the
Ministers had determined on dissolving, and they
must say to the country, " You have got a good
crew to command the ship, and if you do not stand
by the institutions of your country all will be lost."
(Hear, hear.) . Lord John Russell was the most
contemptible creature he ever saw. - (Cheers and
laughter.) Duke, too—he had voted for him some-
times, but as he voted for Lord John Russell's
resolution, he (Sir Peter) would never vote for him
again—(hear, hear)—and he repeated that he would
not support any man who voted in favour of the
resolution. Now they had two good men in the
persons of Lord Stanley and Mr.- Baring, and the
citizens could not do better than elect them. He
entertained the highest opinion of the late Sir
Robert Peel, and the nearest approach to that
eminent statesman was Lord Derby., (Applause.)
Mr. Young had said that there was no occasion to
ask Lord Stanley and Mr. .Baring to come forward,
but that they might elect them in spite of them-
selves. He contended that they must not adopt that course, for the noble lord and the hon. gentle-
~
man must be amongst the electors; they must stand
with them, and act with them, or they would lose .
the very point for which they were fighting. (Hear,
hear.) His opinion was that such a step would be
most unwise, and that, on the other hand, ,Lord
Stanley and Mr. Baring acting with the electors,
would be a sure card of success. (Applause.) -
Mr. THOMAS WINEWORTH said that although he
had been a supporter of Lord John Russell, he could
not help, eendemning his recent conduct, by Which -...
he had 'seriously compromised a most iniportant
question, and placed many Liberal members in a
position which was verp unfair to themselves and
their constituents. (Hear, hear.) He warmly -:
supported the movement, believing that the in- -'
terests of the City of London would .be most
jealously watched lsy Lord Stanley and Mr.
Baring. (Applause.) ,
The CHAIRMAN said the committee would not _
lose an hour more than was necessary in presenting
the requisition. He knew that it would not be
convenient to Lord Stanley and the public service '
for the noble lord to receive the deputation tomor-
row (Saturday). .. _
The resolution was then put and carried with •
enthusiasm.

Mr. PARKER next moved the appointment of a
committee to present the requisition, and to learn
the pleasure of Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring
thereon.
This having been agreed to, the following gen-
tlemen were nominated, with power to add to their
number :—The Chairman, Mr. Geo. Frederick
Young, Sir Peter Laurie, Knt., Mr. Ambrose
Moore, Mr. H. H. Gibbs, Mr. W. Gladstone, Mr.
R. Nicholas Fowler, Mr. D. Ward Chapman, Mr.
Thos. Winkworth, Mr. Barker, Mr. John Master-
man, Mr. Parker, Mr. Russell Ellice, Mr. Wood-
thorpe, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Sir John Maxwell,
Mr. Sheffield Neave, and Sir R. W. Carden, I3art.,
M.P.

Sir JOHN MAXWELL then proposed a vote of
thanks to Coleridge Kennard, Esq., for his able
conduct in the chair. •
The motion having been carried by acclamation,
The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli-
ment, and the meeting, which was most enthusias-
tic throughout, then separated.
