as the Representative of a community, which, with-
out meaning to throw any sitar on any other part cf
the country, united in itself every thing that was no-
ble in.the character of Englishmen—as the Repre-
sentative of that great City to which the eyes of Lrig-
, lishmen were directed, as the hill on which the ark
Of their faith was still to rest—(Great applause).—
Yes, the contlatet of the people of Westminster was
such as to convince the world that there still re-
mained a spark of freedom, which might rise into
a flame throughout the country. Upon the
glorioui event he would be proud to speak—but that
it might be'considered too personal to. himself.
would say, however, that, in the la-e election, West-
minster was the first instance of a great city acting
on a principle before untried, and Frying a trust to
a person who, though he failed in the first instanre,
still persevered in the same course, anc did not
change his. 'Opinion
.through the trials of persecution.
He would not congratulate himself on that occasion
—he would rather congratulate the City of West-
minster, and the country, ar• large, on tbe.triumph
they obtained. The individual they pitched'on was re-
commended by principle.alone, Hestood against every
opposition and every disadvan:age, and he was car.
tied into Parliament by the metropolis of Englishmen.
The Elect Ors had sent him to Parliament to tell the
House of Commons their opinion,. that it was not the
legal Representative of the People, and he could as-
sure them that hewonW lose no opportunity of.carry-
ing their design into ,execution ! At the same time
he could not help reminding them of what their owls
experience must have already informed them, .that it
was impossible for any man te.lic in constant activity
there and yet, though he was ,toot. in perpesual at-
tendance, he might be doing his duty elsewhere, and
promoting the grand cause which every lioneq Eng-
lishman had now at heart. .He should therefore red.
peat to them a line which Milton had used in , the
sonnet on hit 6wn blindness:
" They also serif who only stand and wait."
The Honourable.Gentleinan then went into a long
argument to prove that the House of totprnops, as at
present elected; is against •the law. lEe would, in-
deed, consider it a biie' and Lgr.ánt treason to at-
tempt to bring the House of Commons into contempt,
if the House of ConamOns weiverieted by the People:
At present, the People did not ask- did not attempt
to bring the House' f Commons into contempt- -they
only sought to bring it out of Contempt—(Applausej,
He (Mr. Hobhouse) would ask them, was there
iny man who would assert that the power of the
People in Parliarrient should be as nothing ? The
Constitution intended that they should -be every,
thing--(Loud cuiplatue).—They had heard with
much pleasure the powerful refutation of the prin-
ciples put forth by Mr. Canning, in the speech
delivered that night by Sir Francis tfurdett.—
The'HoriOurable Gentleman then proceeded to con.-
ment upon a speech of Mr. Canning's to the bade-
bone Club at Liverpool, stating that

Indeed it appeared to be the plan of the Honourable
Member for Liverpool, that not a syllable he spoke
should ba lost ; for, whether he spoke at dinner cf
after 'dinner, in a packet, or out of a packet, at Lis-
bon with £14,000 a• fear, or elsewhere with lesi, the
reports bf his speeches came forth corrected and re-.
vised ; and afterwards re-corrected and re revised
and all for the benefit of the British Public! ( Lang&

Reform, to which he said he was so solemnly pledged'',
the Honourable Gentleman concluded 4) saying,
that he would endeavoot to merit tht applause and

It was now nearly eleven o'clock, and Sir FRANC*

of their friends, stood up to retire. The company
rose and greeted their departure, as they had their
entrance, with the loudest gratulation..

ing route, and, with more leisure at their command,
to dwell upon the various Objects of curiosity and in-,
