tion. It struck me, that if I remained silent, they would
suppose I had forgotten they:;, but in that I assure you they
have made an unfortunate mistake for themselves.—( A laugh.)
The College of Surgeons in Lincoln's-inn-fields has at every
election thrust forth the whole of its power against me,
and so have the conductors of onr endowed hospitals
but when I get into the House of Commons I shall show by
returns, which I shall call for, that I have neither forgotten the
extent of their funds, nor the extent of their delinquencies.—
( Cheers.) Gentlemen, the mind of one individual is not
sufficient to labour against the fact of every abuse that may be
presented to it.--(-Hear, hear.) It is impossible for any
man, however talented, to bear up against the weight
of every abuse but by a judicious selection of those
subjects which his mind is capable of understanding; ho
may accomplish all the good he may desire. In England
you have money enough bequeathed to you to educate all
the children in the country, without the expenture
of a single farthing for any man, either rich
or poor. Yet into the majority of our public the children of
the rich only are received.. Again, with reference to the hos-
pitals, they arc not open to the poorest ; for if a man goes ta
one of them in a state of extreme poverty, having scarcely,
clothes to cover him, he is spurned from the gates ; or he will
not be admitted until he finds security for the payment
of his burial expenses, if he should die.—(Hear, hear.)
Guy's Hospital has property amounting to more fifty thou-
sand pounds a-year, the whole of which is under the
control of one man, although there are fifty Governors-411s?
are all selected by him, and he takes care that no black sheep
shall be admitted.—(Laughter.) The founder of that hos-
pital doubtless was actuated by a benevolent desiga,
and never intended that the poorest should be
rejected from the gates ; and if the men that are now the
Governors find that the institution does not work well, they
ought not to object to have it re-modelled. I know it
has been productive of great beneftebut it ought to
be open to the poor as well as to the :*fiddling clasSes,
I mention this why medical men have opposed mo, because
they were connected with these institutions. As lozi4 as you
support me, however, I shall be able to eneounteL• every
one of ray foes.—( Cheers.) Mr. Wakiey then proces`ded
to say that by electing him they had contradict: AI

effect to his pri,fessions in another place. At are times, and on
all- occasions, he should remember with the deepest feel-
jag of gratitude the kindness which he had received
at their hands, and if he could trust himself, there was not a
mah in that immense assembly who woull ever have reason to
regret that he had obtained a seat in tie House of Commons.

MSTRONG proposed the thanks of the meeting to Mr.
Raphael for his excellent conduct, and those who were under

lilin throughout the whole of these proceedings.
ROGEIiS seconded the propositkn, which was put to a
show of bands, and carried enthu

Mr. RAPHAEL returned thanks, and expressed his high
gra-
tification to find his conduct hzd met with approbation. Ho
hoped, that upon all occasions he would have similar satisfac-

tio-n when he.appeared before the public in discharge of his
duties.

Three cheers were then given for the respective Members,
who left the hustings, accompanied by the loudest plaudits,
and the meeting quietly dispersed, headed by bands of music
and flags in the different directions they took.
