SIR errABLEs NAPIER, M. P., AND MR.
L9CKE, M.P., IN SOUTLIWARK.

Lai,t night a large public meeting of the electors
and non-electors of Southwark was convened at the
136.th:1'e-house Hotel to hear from Admiral Sir C.
Napier and Mr. Locke, the members of Parliament
for the borough, an account of their stewardship
during last session, in conformity with a custom
which obtains in that part of the metropolis. Dr.
Challice occupie the chair, and briefly introduced
the members to the meeting.
Sir C. NAPIER, on presentinghimself, was enthu-
siastically cheered. The gallant admiral, notwith-
standing his advanced age, looked extremely well.
He began his address by running over the names of
the principal bills passed during the present year,
to most of which he said he had given his approval,
adding that though the session had been unusually
brief iL bad been remarkably fruitful in useful,

practical legislation. He pointed to his vote in
support of. Mr. Berkeley's motion for the ballot,
and then -commented on the camp at Al
dershott, as at present arranged in a vein
of ridicule, directing his satire especially against
the waste of the public money in providing quarters
there for the Queen, a house for the commanding
officer at the °amp, and all the paraphernalia of the
ballrooms and the like, seeing that the feeling of
the people—he did not say they were right—was
averse to the maintenance of a•great standing army,

and that, from the caprice of some one in supreme
authority, the barracks at Aldershott might ere
long be dispensed with. He then adverted to the
new Houses of Parliament, which he designated as
an enormous job. He said it required a person ab-
solutely to go upon the river to be able to see them.
He could not find them anywhere else. (A. laugh.)
The country was now in the expenditure of the
third million on the erection of those Houses of
Parliament, and they were not completed. Then
there was a great scheme for erecting a series of
public offices, at a cost of from 4,000,0001. to
5,000,0001., concocted by Sir Benjamin Hall, who
wished thereby to hand his name down to posterity
as a great man ; but he (Sir C. Napier) did what
be could do to put a spoke in his wheel. (A. laugh.)
Approaching the subject of the Indian mutiny, the
gallant admiral said our Indian affairs had long been
in a deplorable state.. He was happy, however, to
see by the last news from India that things there
were brightening up in a most extraordinary de-
gree. If ever there was a class of men to whom the
British nation owed a debt of gratitude it was to
her own soldiers. The mutiny in India bad exhi-
bited that truth in a new and striking light, for a
mere handful of European soldiers, assisted by the
army of the Punjaub and by the Ghoorkas, had
been able to hold their own against the whole of
the mutineers of the Bengal army. (Cheers.) He
admitted that the natives of British India had a
right to endeavour to get back India for themselves
if they cowl 1; but he utterly denied that in seek-
ing to carry out that object they were justified in
resorting to one single act of all the atrocious trea-
chery and inhumanity of which they had been
guilty. The people of this country were not pre-
pared for such atrocities, and they must hence-
forth regard the Sepoys as their most biter
and implacable enemies. We had had from time
to time Whig and Tory Governments and Whig
and Tory Governors-General of India. 'We had
never had a Radical Government yet, and we were
not likely to get one. (A laugh.) But not one of
those Governments or Governors-General ever fore-
saw that this rebellion would happen. A gallant
relative of his own—(cheers)—was the only man in
India who had foreseen and warned the Govern-
ment that disturbances were likely to take place in
the Bengal army. The question remained—Had
we done all that we could do to suppress this mu-
tiny ? The news of it first reached this country in
the latter end of May, and be (Sir C. Napier) then
urged the Government not to lose one single mo-
ment in sending an adequate force out to India.
He was told, much to his surprise, that vessels
under sail would accomplish the voyage to India
just as soon as steamships. He did not believe that,
but there were people in the House of Commons
who did, and he did not know what, in the name
of God, some of them were made of. (A. laugh.)
When he insisted that they who made the assertion
were wrong he was pooh-poohed ; but the truth
was that he could furnish stsoh people with argu-
ments, but not with brains. (A laugh.) The time
when the first troops sailed from this country for
India was in the beginning of July. There was
thus a loss of time of five or six weeks, and he
verily believed if those troops could have been sent
off immediately after the news of the rebellion
reached this country, it was possible that the mas-
sacre at Cawnpore might have been prevented.
(Hear, hear.) He would, however, say one thing
for the Government. Since the time when they
began to send troops out they had used the most
extraordinary exertions. (Hear, hear.) He did
not believe there was another nation in the world
who could have sent troops to such a distance with
anything like the same celerity as we had done to
India. He meant after the Government had reco-
vered their senses and had once begun to do the
work. The Chinese " row"—(a laugh)—was in
one sense a lucky incident, for but for it we should
not have had troops in India available for quelling
the mutiny so soon as we had. He next
prepared the meeting' for the enormous cost
that the present war was sure to entail upon
the country, and told them that the people
would have the piper to pay in the shape of a higher
income-tax. If they did not agree to that, they
would have to make up their minds to lose India
altogether ; and, he would ask, was there a man
among them who would consent to give it up
(No, no.) Let them remember that if they relin-
quished their footing there they had neighbours
not far off who would say, you have lost India, and
by —we will take something else from you. (A
laugh.) He was not one of those who were prone
to cry, " Wolf ;" but he knew what the danger was
on this occasion, and he knew, too, tbat when the
country was down there would be plenty ready to
take advantage of it. One thing they wanted was
a proper reform of Parliament, an indispensable
part of which was the ballot. (Cheers.) He did
not doubt that with the ballot and an extended
franchise they would return men to Parliament in
Southwark quite as competent to represent them as
he. (No, no.) In one sense he was glad to hear
them say, " No, no," for he was told a few years
ago that he was very old and decrepit, but they
might depend upon it he was able to do his work
yet. (A. laugh.) As long as he had health and
strength he should cheerfully attend to his duties
as their representative i isarliament to the very
best of his ability. (Che)
Mr. LoCKE, who followed, said he had nothing to
conceal and nothing to explain with regard to his
conduct in Parliament. He believed all the opinions
he professed when he was a candidate had been
