MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

DINNER AT HAMPSTEAD TO MR. T. WOOD, JUN.,
OF LITTLETON, THE LATE CANDIDATE.
The dinner took place at the Holly Bush, the house of
meeting of the Local Committee. A company of seventy
sat down to dinner. CHARLES CAMERON, Esq., the
Chairman of the Local Committee, presided. He was
supported on his right by T. Wood, jun., Esq., the late
-candidate, C. Carvick, Esq., and Mr. Prior ; and on his
left by Colonel Wood, M.P., Viscount Stormont, M.P.,
Sir Peter Laurie, the Rev. Mr. Evans, &c.
The glasses having been charged, and the usual loyal
toasts having been given,
The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of Mr. Thomas
Wood, jun., of Littleton."—(Unanimous cheering.)
The health of Mr. Wood was drank with three times
three, and followed by repeated bursts of approbation.
Mr. WOOD rose, and said, doubtless many of them, if not
all, had seen and read the effusion of one of their late op-
ponents. He alluded to the last address from Mr. Hume.
It was at once a song of triumph and a hymn of defeat—
(A laugh.) It talked of conquest, and yet it complained
of being beaten ; in the same breath there was joy and
wailing. Much was said of the great triumph of principle ;
but the principle was represented to be wholly confined to
one side ; and although great was the triumph, still every
one was called upon to make redoubled exertions to secure
a greater triumph—(Laughter.) But they might pass by
such exhibitions, and look to the real state of the case.
They had brought him forward to advocate the maintenance
of the Constitution, and he had cheerfully and to the full
concurred in their views. It was entirely and solely as one
devoted to the upholding of the Monarchy, the religion,
and the institutions of the country, that he had become
a candidate—(Hear, hear.) He would then, as he had
done on the hustings and elsewhere, utterly deny that
he was bound or attached to any party.—( Hear, hear.)
Let them hope that there was now a Government which
would seriously and in good faith set about the work of
true Reform.---(Hear, hear.) If men could be known by
their conduct, they had a right to conclude that the present
Government would be found both capable of and willing to
administer well the affairs of the country. They had now a
Government that would, when there was danger, stand
upon the ramparts themselves ; " and, gentlemen," added
Mr. Wood, with marked emphasis, " they shall not stand
alone."—(Enthusiastic applause.) To this he would only
add an earnest desire that the people and Government
might join in one common struggle to promote the peace,
the prosperity, and the happiness of their common country.
He concluded by thanking them very sincerely for the
honour they had done him, and sat down amidst much
cheering.
" The health of the Chairman" having been proposed by
Mr. Wood, and drank with cordial approbation, that gen-
tleman returned thanks, and attributed any service he had
been able to render, to the exertions of the Committee.
Mr. LOWNDES proposed " The health of Lord Stormont,"
which was drank with three times three.
Lord STORMONT regretted that he had not been able to
assist in the late struggle. The fact was that he had had
his own battle to fight, and then immediately to hasten to
Scotland to try to assist his friend Sir George Murray. He
begged to assure them, however, that at all times his hum-
ble exertions should be at their command, and that it would
afford to him a peculiar pleasure, whether in public or pri-
vate life, to endeavour to promote the welfare of Hamp-
stead.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of Colonel Wood,"
which was received with a general burst of approbation, and
followed by three times three.
Colonel WOOD was most grateful both for the way in
which his health had been proposed, and that in which it
had been received. He was free to confess that when his
son first informed him, as he did by letter, he being in
Brecknockshire, that he was about to become a candidate,
he felt considerable fear lest his son should be found inade-
quate to the honourable post assigned to him. The state
of the poll, however, had removed all those doubts ; and
now made him express the hope that, though his son was a
young man, and new to political life, he had not damaged
the good cause in which they all took so lively an interest.
—(Great cheering, and cries of " No, no.") Of one thing
he felt assured, that his son, having once entered upon the
task, there would, there could, be no faltering on his part,
and that no circumstances would ever induce him to aban-
don them.--(Enthusiastic applause.)
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Sir Robert
Peel and his Majesty's Ministers."
The toast was drank with three times three, and loud
applause.
Lord STORMONT returned thanks, as the only individual
present connected with the Government. Ministers looked
not for support to the mob and the rabble—( Hear, hear)—
but to the intelligent and the educated. A great deal had
been said about an intrigue, and the parties carrying it on,
one being in Rome and the others in Windsor. But the
absurdity was too gross and the charge is now given up. A
new ground of attack is that the present Ministry cannot
intend any Reform. There were two sorts of Reform, one
to destroy, one to preserve. The latter would be the one
pursued by the present Government, at the same time they
would be sincerely anxious to remove all blemishes from the
institutions of the country.—(Hear, hear.) All that the
Ministry asked was a fair trial, and it fully expected it.—
(Hear, hear.) They all knew that there were many who
were prepared to oppose any address that might be moved ;
but he would venture to assure them that the Ministers
had the fullest confidence that they would be able to meet
Parliament and to satisfy the wishes of the country, and
that their majority for the Address was as sure as that of any
Ministry that had ever held office.—(Great cheering.)
Some other toasts were drank, and at midnight we left
the company yet in the full enjoyment of an entertainment
unmarked by even the slightest accident.
