MR. HUME.

Last night several members of the committee of the Mid
dlesex and Westminster election met at the Crown and An-
chor Tavern.

The chair was taken by Mr. DE VERE, who stated, in
consequence of a letter from Mr. Anderton, stating a meet-
ing was about to take place relative to taking into conside-
ration the calling of a meeting to present Mr. Hume with a
piece of plate, he had, therefOre, withdrawn his letters rela-
tive to calling a meeting for a public dinner.
Mr. FEARON thought that the two objects might be car-
ried.into- effect at the same time. He 'thought Mr. Hume
had been one of the instruments to promote enlightened go-
vernment, and that a piece of plate would aid his children
to hand down their father's services to their country. He
would propose, " That the present meeting do form a com-
mittee, with power to add to their numbers, to carry into
effect these two objects."

Mr. JUGGZNS, of James street, Covent-garden, said he
had been one of the first to call Mr. Hume forward to
stand for Middlesex, and would then have given him a bit.
of plate ; but, in consequence of Mr. Hume's factious op-
position to the late Administration, he could not consent to
giving a piece of plate, though he should not oppose • the
giving a dinner. He was not so warm in his heart at this
moment as then. •

Mr. FEARON admitted that there was a feeling of disap-
probation towards Mr. Hume from his late conduct, butle
could not help thinking the previous conduct of lVir. Hume
merited some act of marked approbation. Ile (Mr. F.
was an admirer of Sir Francis Burdett, la,:d he found fault
with some acts of the Hon. Baronet and he hoped they
would sink the difference, as all men did not take the same
view of public men : he would move the first resolution,
which was to the effect, " That the meeting feel the im-
portance of testifyin., their deep sense of the long and ardu-
ous services of Mr. Hume in the cause of the people."
Mr. MILLS seconded this resolution.
Mr. LENNARD would admit ho had not altogether ap-
proved of Mr. Hume's conduct, but he did admire the bold
stand he had made against a corrupt Governnient, and the
able manner in which he had advocated the cause of liberty.
He would, therefore, support the adopt.'zon of the resolution,
and he hoped unanimity would exist among them.
Mr. M` WILLIAM, the Magistra:',.e, said Mr. Hume might
not have acted in accordance, with the wishes of many of
his former friends, yet 1,1.1 s advocacy of liberal measures
merited the approbati-Jn of the public. He would support
the motion, with tale understanding no subscription should
exceed one
Mr. CisiP.POCK wished to see the two objects separated.
He P.:ould not agree with the remark made use of by • Mr..
u ggi ns, that he had made " a factious opposition" to the
late Administration. Ile thought that opposition was the
best part of Mr. Hume's political conduct.
Mr: JUGGINS thought Mr. Hume had not done his duty
towards East Surrey. He had not voted for or supported
the liberal interest there, and they had lost onei of their
best men (Mr. Briscoe).
Mr. LENNARD moved the second Resolu::ron.
Mr. PEARCE seconded the Resolution; to the effect " that
this meeting is desirous of inviting M-4., Hume to a public
dinner at an early day." _ _

Mr. YATES then moved the thi;.d Resolution, to the ef-
fect "that the present meeting

Mr. POUNCEY then sr.conded it.
A discussion was then entered into as to the day the
dinner should b' given, and who should take the chair on
the occasion.

Mr, -Y.L‘WILLIAm proposed that a respectful request be,
made to Sir J. C. Hobhouse to take the chair.
Mr. CorPocK seconded it. lie knew all political auger

Joseph Buonaparte came to town from his seat in
the country for the express purpose of meeting ',:he Duke of
Leuchteuberg, after the Prince had visited and, dined with the
King, at his Palace at Brighton. The Duke and Joseph
Buonaparte met at the house of a friend, where they were clo-
seted for several hours.

The Bavarian broom-girls, as we have been desired
to style the feminine portion of the foreign mendicants who
annually infest our shores, seem determined to take time by
the forelock this year. A pretty considerable number of these
" interesting creatures" arrived on Wednesday. Brooms, how-
ever, no longer form their staple commodity ; tambourines and;
the other attractions d la Savoyard are added, to vary the a c.
tacks of these artful practitioners on the gullibility of Jo4n
