it of

conduct of Sir Murray . _ High, however, as
the gallant officer deserved to be estimated, it was not
on his own account, but on that of the cause for which
he stood forward, that the iodependeet Electors of
Wevtmiitster had bohoured him with their support.'
Sir Murray Maxwell sever was guilty of acts of sere.
rity. Often bad that gallant officer observed to Mai
that nothing was to be done in this world by violence,
and that when.great efforts were to be made in co-
operation with others, the object could only. be ac.
complished by *diming their hearts and by con.
sleet acts of kindness. Such *ere the maxims in-1
culcated by thisgtllant officer who had been so much
misrepresented, and be firmly beiisted that there never
was a man who possessed a more sound and penetrat.
jog understanding. He hoped that every one present
would exert themselves to secure his Election by
bringing op to-morrow each one toter to the Poll.
He concluded by proposing the health of Sir Murray
Magwell. *bich was drank with loud occlamations.
Mr. WiLLocti then proposed the health of the
antivenin' ; and on the toast being drank; Mr. Ellis
returned thanks.

these words were afterwards given by the Chairman
at a toast.

for him to p otegy rite they, principles- Wes to pass a
panegyric on himself. Sincebe had left 'll4 House of
Cornrow's, many of those whom lie revered had gone
to a better world. It as hardly necessary for him
to mention the names of W,iihread and Horner and
Pnnsouby, and, above all, of that great Statesman to
Whom the Cabinet of his Sovereign weed only as an
anti-room to the Poll of Dr-nth—he needed not to
pronouuCe the name of Mr. Fos, in whose footsteps
he should always be proud to tread.—(lipplente.)—'l
Ile had to apologize to them for detaining them so
long, and begged leave to conclude with drinking all
their good healtbs.
Mr. CaLtster proposed their Chairman," Mr. So-
'ninon Davies," who hall first Welted him to Solicit
for the Representation of the 3oroegh of Southwark.
He had been their tried friend on all occasioes--,ine
deed it might be said of him that be bad never tersest
his back on a friend.
Mr. S. Milo, after returning thanks for the ho-
nour dime him, proceeded to anode to the letter of
Mr. Barclay, complaining of a coalition on the part
ref Mr. Craver' with Sir Robert Wilson. Ile had al.
ways declared there was no such coalition, and
called on the friends of Mr. Buds', of whom be
knew several in the room, to coutradicebim. In-
deed Mr. Calvert might be said to be between ton'
fires. The friends of Sir Robert Wilson accused him
of coalescing with Mr. Barclay, sod the friends of
Mr. Barclay again 'accused him of coslescing with
Sir Robert Wilson. The truth was, that Mr. Cal.
tart had asked only for one vote. The friends of
Mr. Barclay complained that Mr. Calvert did not
obtain for him a fair hearing on the Hustings;
but if the conduct of Mr. Barclay in Parlismeet;
was so odious to his Constituents that be could not.
obtain a hearing, that surely could be no fault of
,Mr. Calvert. Indeed, Mr. Barclay said •to a friend
;of his, that it was his rotes on the,Suspensiora of the
Habeas Corpus Bill, end the Indemnity Bill, that
lost him his seat. It did the Borough of Southwark
the greatest honour to relent two loch men as Mr.
Culvert and Sir Robert Wilson.
illig
Mr. Davies then observed y were that
day honoured by two Heiman' da of theirs,
lately cho,eir by the City of Lon n; be meant Mr.
Alderman Wood and Mr. Weiihman. He should
give them " Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Waith.
man, anti the Independent Liverymen of the City of
Loudon "—(4 general call of " Give them se- ,
parately.")—Thets he should propose "-Mr. Alder.
mar. Wood."
Mr. Alderman WOOD, after returning thanks for
the honour done hint, said, he . had had some amber.
amities of observing the conduct in Parliament el
the worthy Representative whom they hail re.elected,
Mr. Calvert. It. all question,' its which the public In.
terests were affected, he had allow seen* Mr. Cal-
vert waiting to the last moment, arid sometimes di-
viding with four or five Members.—(Applause.)—lt
was gratifying to the Friends of Liberty, to find that
it. every part of the country where the People had a
free choke, one or more Representatives in the po-
pular interests were chosen. If 'mention to local du-
ties alone had been considered a claim to a. seat in Par.
liament, be would say of his late colleague, Sir W.
Curtis, that no man had ever paid more attention to
the discharge of local duties. Sir William Cortis
had never been straw one day when the local in-
terests of the City were concerned, if he could pos.
aibly stand on his legs. How, thee, bad he lost his
Election ? He had never once gives a vote in favour
of the People.—(Applauses.)—Hati he given one
vote in favour of economy, or the liberty of the
People, the Electors of Loudon would not have for-
saken him ; but they had found him uniformly sup-
porting the measures of all Administrations. Whe.
utter it was the Administration of Mr. Fos or Mr.
Pitt, it nos all one to him : Mr. Pitt had always his
vote, and Mr. Fox had always his vote, Ile con•
euiliol with taiihing prosperity to the Borough of
Southwark, and health and happiness to all its In-
-1 habitants —(Applause.)
Mr. DAVIES then proposed the health of a Gentle.
man who had supported the cause of the People
during the last 25 years, namely, " Mr. Waithtnan."
Mr. Wantons, in an eloquent speech, returned
thanks for the honour done him. The spirit which
had been so stritingly manifested in London and
the Borough of Southwark had manifested itself in
every place where it could possibly manifest itself.
Had the time been longer, the results would hate
been still more favourable to the popular anise.
They would have seen a Worthy Friend (Mr. Lad.
broke) returned for the County of Surrey ; and
S:iddlesea wanted only a Candidate, and then they
would have seen two Whig Candidates. Ile could,
see no reproach in a coalition, if it had really taken
placer between men like Mr. Celvertand Sir Robert
Wilson, who had the same objects in view. He theh
entered ioto some particulars respecting the. Election
for the City of London, and expressed his particular ,
gratitude for the assistance he had received from the
Livery residing in Southwark.
The health of Sir Robert Wilson was next pro.
posed, and drank •with great applause. 1
Mr. Kzatnisn, in returning thanks, observed, that
since 1688, up to the present time, they bad inva-
riably been represented by Whigt and Tories; bat
they now had for Representatives two honest men.
Mr. Calvert and i comber of his friends with-
drew a little hereto 10 o'clock. The evening had

which Sr M. Mrawell would render to lb. Public in
Parliament.
A Gentleman seggested that each person present
should pledgtativaself to bring three voters to the
Poll. This 'pposition was generally approved.
The health of the Gentlemen who moved and,se.
conded the nomination of Sir M. Maiwell, and the
Committee employed in his electiou,l were drank,
and after some hours convivially spent, tbicompauy
dispersed.
