• )Ir. WILLIAMS was present and addressed a few words
of thanks to the plecLors assembled. He had given
them a fall exposition of his political principles,
and as far as it at present appeared, they had approved
of them and eleet.d him as their Member; and he could
assure them firmly that it should never be said
that they had ktroduced a man who bad not
carried oat the principles be professed. He would
not detain them longer than to express his gratitude
for their exertions in the cause or liberty' and the
people.—(Cheers) They muss be aware that he and
his committee would be fatigued with the lab,nrs of the
last two or three days, and that would farm his excuse
for leaving them. He would meet them there again to-
, morrow at:twelire o'clock, and he had no doubt that they
would have to congratulate him as thelfember for Lam-
heth.—(Cheers.)
Neither of the other candidates were present.

MONUMENT TO THE LATE DUKE
OF CANIBRIDGE.-( I)AY.)

MEETING AT THE MANSION•HOUSE.

A public 11-acting numerously atended was held at
two o'clock this afternoon, in the Egyptian Hall, at the
Mansion-house, e for the purpose of considering, the
best measures for carrying out the resolutions of the
committee for erecting to the memory of his Royal
Highness the late Duke ot Cambridge a monument cotn-
menaurate with his exemplary virtues, arid in remem-
brance if the munificence, untiring exertions, and un-
wonted self-denial of that good Prince in the cause of the
public charities cf the United Kingdom."
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided.
Among the noblemen and gentlemen present upon the
platform we observed—Earl Talbot, Lord Robert Gros-
venor, M.P., the Marquis of Granby, M.P., Sir Howard
Douglas, Mr. B. B, Caehell, M.P., Mr. C. Cochrane, Jr.
Harley, of Drury-lane Teeatre, Mr. J. G. Farrance,
Mr. Christopher, M.P., Mr. Wm. Bennett, the Arch-
deacon of Waterford, Colonel Sir Edward Cust, Sir
George Carroll, Mr. G. F. Anderson, M.P., Mr. Sheriff
Nicoll, Mr. Under-Sheriff Wire, Mr. Richard Twining,
jun. and many others.
Tile Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, on taking the
chair, briefly explained the object of the meeting.
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR rose to propose the first
resolution, which was as fotlows:—
" Toat this meeting deeply deplores the demise of his
late Royul Highness the good Duke of Cambridge, a loss
which must be felt as irreparable by the benevolent
world; that among the many rare and noble virtues
which distinguiseed that illustrious personage, the
benignity of his di-position and affebility t f manner
were strikingly conspicuous, endearing him to all who
had the horcur to ap.roach him; that his conduct
was equally characterised by the dimity of a Prince and
the unaffecteci humility of a Christian; whilst his whole
life and fortune were th•vuted to the protection and
affectionate care of the sick and the afflicted; more espe-
cially in instituting end upholding. the varied and num-
berless charities of the metropolis. Anxious to pay a
tribute due to great moral worth, this meeting resolves
on raising some permanent mcnument to the memory of
the " good Duke of Cambridge,", which, whilst it be-
comes a record of public sorrow at his death, of ad.
miration and gratitude for his self-sacrifices in the cause
of charity. shall serve as a guide and example to all who
wish to become the benefactors of mankind."
He said he never came forward to perform a public duty
with greater readinesss than 11,. did en tier present oces-
sion.—(Cheers.) They might have met to commemorate
the virtues of a person who had run a more striking career,
but he really would that he thought it hardly possitile to
consider the acts of a man who had conferred more last-
ing benefits on suffering humanity than the late Duke
of Cambridge.—(Cheers.) He thought the public ought
to rscotect what was the post ble career that; was
open to a Prince of the blood. If he had great abi-
lities, and a natural arnbit,on and desire for
power, how was he to give vent to it ? If
he took a part in public affairs as a Peer in
Parliament he could scarcely escape joining one of the
political parties in the country; arid if he did so be
might pos-ibly find himself in opposition to the Sove-
reign on the Throne, arid whatever his oiscretion and
prudence might be, he' could scarcely hope to escape
misrepresentation. tie (Lord Robert Grosvenor) was
quite sure the public would very little like to see acted
over:the Parliamentary scene which took place between
1812 and 1814, when they saw a Prince of the blood
acting in three.. opposition to his father. They must
recollect therefore that under all those di-advantages,
and with every temptation to spend a hie comparatively
speaking in retirement, his late Royal .g.- h like6B could
not consent to accept that alternative. Instea4 of doing
that, he 8 ught cut not certainly the most captivating of
duties—that of ate ndirg to the hospitals and various
charities with which this country fortur steely abounded.
But hie Royal Highness did nit shrink item accepting
that course; and there was really no humane or bent ficent
proposition emanating from a resin citable source which
had not the warm and cordial support of his Royee
hness.—(Cheers.)
Mr. B. B. CARBELL, M.P.. seconded the re-iolution.
lie had no hesitation sr) jog that the illustrious Prince
who had now lett us could not bevy taken a more tt.,e-
ful or more acceptable course than in supperting those
charitable institutions which are the bonvur and glory
of our land.—(A ppls use.)
The resolution was then put from the Chair and car-
ried without a siegle disseetient.
The Marquis ot GRANBY moved the next resolution:—
" That, wisest the present endeavour to do justice t
the memory of tht.P.ine, properly originate l a ith those
eharitible institutions immediately benefited by his
Royal Highness: liberality, the national 1. t ling d-tuattfis
a participation in the houtiur of p..rpetuating so princely
an example of Christian benefit nee; it is therefore re-
solved, that a general subscription List be now opened
to prbeure funds .riecessery to erect the monument
referred toe that the London bankers be requested to
receive. and the secretaries of the metroptiliten charities
to collect subscriptions ; and that the following geese,-
men be invited to beceme treasurers :—J. Labouchere,
Esq., B. Bond Cabb' 11, E-q., M.P., Samuel Gurney, Fel,
and John Abel Smith. Esq., M.P. And farther, that a
General Committee of Management be now formed, con-
sisting of the Provisional Committee and such gentlemen
present, and others, as may be willing to aid by their
personal co-op'-ration "
He (the Marquis- of Granby) could reiterate the anti-
tm-nt which had fallen -nem his Noble Friend (Lord
Robert Grosvenor), end say that he never was called on
to perform a-public duty with greater satisfaction than
the present. He believed that no man ever breathed
who was an sincerely and so unselfishly desirous of pro-
moting the welfare ot all classes in this country—(Ap-
plause)—but more especially of those who, from no
fault ur their own, but flora the accid.,nt of birth, or
from some misfortune, were unable to relieve or help
themselves, as his Royal Highness tbo late Duke of
Cambridge. Ile believed also that no man ever
breathed whose late was more rdmired, whose vtrtuesvvere
more appreciated. and whose loss was more sincerely I
felt; and ho (the Ma: quis of Granby) would venture to
predict, that long after that occasion had passed away, l
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would live
in the nearre and nconectioes of the eeople of England:
Earl Tauseer, in sceending ihe resolu4ioa, said the late
Duke of Cambridge, in all the public charities in this
metropolis, was too r ready, not ottly wito his purse, but
with the influence which teliowed hie exalted rank; and
he (Earl Taibot) knew of hi. own knowledge that there
were numerous acts of charity which that ihustrious
Prince performed, and which were unknown except to
hiniseif.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. M. Joenesote bore his testimony to the zeal
shown by his Royal Highness to promote the Jewish
charities, in the metropolis.
Mr. Moon; the private medical att.ndant of his late
R.yal Ilighuras, rela:ed instances art charity on the part
of the deceased which had come withikhis knowledge.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.

Mr. RICHARD TWINING, Jun., briefly proposed the
next res luuwn, tti f

.* That m-asutea be taken to convene a pubic meeting.
similar to the present, at Is% Rooms, bt. Jamie';
that his Royal Highness the Pr:nce Albert be respect-
tully r, q,zestrd to preside on the occaquil; >nd that
putation do wait on his RJyal Higaness to iklicit
that honour."
Li.utera,,,t Colonel Sir EDWARD C UST, in SCCOndinZ
the ze,oluzion, said tho example w:lich Ito- late iilustzious
Prince had gives was a great and eminent proof of the
advantsges we enjoyed under monarchical institutions,
and of the benefit we derived from the illustrious family
who reigned Over us.--(Applause.)
Tee resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER, M.P., moved, and Mr. Sheriff Ni-
cola. seconded a vote of thanks to the Hight Hon. the
Lord Mayor for granting the use of the Egsptian Hall,
and presiding on tr.e occasion.
The Right Hon. the Loan MAYOR briefly acknow-
