(n 14311 TIM liiHNISURGII STAR Of TURSDAT.)
On Saturday lass, a meeting of householders was, con-
vene-I,ty public adrertiseuient, for the purpose of consi-
dering the propriety of petitioning Parliament to confer,
under set atever limitations it should see fit, the right of
voting for the City Member on the householders. The
stage of the Pantheon was reserved for the Chairman and
Requisitionists, one hundred in number; the other parts
of the hone, about half-past 1.2 o'clock, were thrown
open to the householders, and 'le A few mittutes were
completely tilled.
At one o'clock Sir. A. M. Gismos, of Clifton /fall, rose I
and said—" I beg leave to propose, that Mr. John Craig
do take the chair ; and I trust *tit will meet with stone
approhation."—(Cheers). ''' .
JOHN CRAIG, EN. of tireat King Street, having taken
the chair, rose and said—" Gentlemen,—Having been
called to this honourable situation 1r the unanimous
voice of this meeting, it is not my intention, nor would
it be my interest, to call in question the judgment which
yen have now exercised. I shall, however, attribute it
nut to my own merits, but to your kindness. The best
return I can make, gentlemen, is to perform as well as I
am able, the duties which belong to the office. 1
*al in the first place read the requisition: it is as
follows: ' I

know,

portant class of the inhabitinte, comprising individuals
distinguished not more for their opulence, and as gen-
tlemen of landed estate, than for their intellectual and
private worth—and another portion of the Reqikisition-
ists comprehends some of the most respectable merchants
and inhabitant householders of Edinburgh, who, in res-
pectability, independence, and patriotism, would not yield
precedence to the citizens of any other city. (Applause.)
I will Wow reed the answer of the Lord Provost tb this Re-
quisition, thus signed. His Lordship said—
.' [Here the answer of the Lord Provost was read ]
" Now, it is not my intention to say any thing disre-
spectful to the individual who fills the office of your
Chief Magistrate ; --(hear, bear.)—neither would I wil-
Bogle say one word which might be construed to im-
pugn the conduct of a magistrate, who by his ser-
vices, has rendered himself so justly popular and re-
spectable ; nor should I even have seen occasion to al-
lude to that worthy individual, if the grounds of his
Lordship's refusal to convene this meeting bad been,
that he considered it would prejudice the is-
terests of ohe city; hut when, on the necessity and,
expedience of holding any meeting at all, his LorM
ship sets up his opinion against that of so respectable
a hod/ of requisitionists, containing, a large number of
individuals whom his Lordship would be first to ac-
knowledge his superiors in wisdom and talent.—
f 'mast he permitted to say, that 1 think this was a
point which his Lordship might very safely have con-
ceded, an 1 confided in the judgment of those individuals.
His Lordship, however, bad tdought otherwise ; and
in consepieoce of his decisioa, this meeting had been
Called by public advertisement. 1 doubt not that this
meeting is composed, for the Most part, of 'honest and
respectable householders, and that you will conduct
yourselves with propriety while you remain in thislionse ;
but in so large an assemblage, it is impossible that every
person present can he known to me, and it is Any duty to
caution.you against those occurrences by which the or-
der of a public meeting is always liable to be disturb-
ed. There may be those present whom ardour in the
rause might itad nee to propo,e stronger resolutions than
those which are about to be submitted to your attention;
or others who, with less innocent intentions, might have
attended for the purpose of throwjag discredit on the
meeting, by getting you to adopt their violent amend-
mendment, I trust that, if any soca individuals should he
present,. you will guard against the error of the one'
ealis of objectors, and that the other class will find them-
selves mistaken. , (Hear, hear.) There may be present
some who attend tor the purpose of opposing altogether
the objects of the meeting; and all 1 will say of the.c is,
that, it they are sincere, they cannot perform a more
manly or more honourable part, than to come forwar I
boldly and Adam their objections to the meeting. (C he fr..)
I am sure that they will have a patient hearing. (Chit ers.)
If their argunients are true, they may convince us thet
the present aathe best system of represent stion, and in.
