MR. GLADSTONE AND GREENWICH.

Last evening a numerously-attended meeting of
the leading Liberal electors of the borough of
Greenwich was held at the Literary Institution of
that town, for the purpose of•securing the return of
the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, as one of the re-
presentatives of the borough at the forthcoming
general election.

Mr. NV. ANGERSTEIN, who presided, said he had
great pleasure in allowing his name to appear as
the chairman of the committee which bad been
formed for the borough of Greenwich to support
the return of Mr. Gladstone. (Applause.) By
returning Mr. Gladstone they would (1,) honour
to themselves, and also honour to the right hon-
ourable gentleman, whom they all desired to re-
turn ; for should he fail for South Lancashire,
then they could offer hitn a seat for Greenwich,
and if elected for South Lancashire, as he be-
lieved Mr. Gladstone would be, they need not be
ashamed in having elected him as one of their re-
presentatives, for Mr. Gladstone had entered Parlia-
ment as a Conservative, had grown to a strong and
stronger Liberal, and was the best man to lead the
great Liberal party in the House of Commons.
(A pplau se.)

Mr. DICKSON, of Deptford, and Mr. JOLLY, of
Woolwich, reported the result of meetings of the
Liberal party held in those towns, fully concurring
in the object of the meeting ; Mr. Jolly adding that
so astounded was 'a leading and well-known Con-
servative at the step the Liberal party had thus
taken, that he said the only way to defeat it was to
bring forward Mr. Disraeli as a candidate. (Loud
laughter.)
Mr. W. C. BENNETT moved the first resolution,
accepting the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone as one
of the candidates for the borough. He observed
that at the meeting held at Woolwich on Tuesday
evening, Mr. Baxter Langley, who was before the
constituency as a candidate for the representation,
had stated that he was too good a Liberal to stand
in opposition to, or to divide, the Liberal interest
against, two such candidates as the Right Hon.
W. E. Gladstone and Mr. Alderman Salomons,
and had promised to give every support in his
power to secure their election. (Applause.) They
had also heard that Sir W. Codrington, who had
formerly represented the borough, was likely to
become a candidate ; but he had a communica-
tion in his hand, and which he was at liberty
to read, in which Sir W. Codrington, said :
f; Although‘rhoebe some doubt whe-
ther separate himself
he at present represents,

it certainly would be injudicious for another Liberal
candidate to come into the field pending the reply
of the right hon. gentleman to the invitation that
may be conveyed to him." (Applause.) Sir William
Codrington also added: " No second Liberal can-
didate could afford to lose the support, from what-
ever cause, of the body of gentlemen who are
endeavouring to secure for the borough of Green-
wich the distinction they are now seeking to obtain
for it."

Mr. WHITE seconded the resolution, which was
carried with acclamation.
It was then determined to form local committees
in the several towns IS the borough, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.
