ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
CITY OP Los:nosh—The prime minister has issued a
short, but pregnant, address to the City constituency. "
aspire," he says, " to the honour of being again your mem-
ber." For the not of the address, we refer the reader to his
lordship's advertisement, in another page.
CV AIBRILLAN (EAST).—NIT. Marshall has accepted the re-
quisition, and is now a candidate in the place of Mr. James.
The Carlisle Journal says his election is safe. He has at
present no opponent.
CARLISLII.—Mr. Dixon, of Knells, a free trader, is ex-
pected to occupy the vacancy created by Mr. Marshall's
secession.
Otot.cerrEstenute (Weer).—The report that Mr. Gren-
ville Berkeley had retired (from the contest for this division
is unfounded —it was indeed improbable, seeing that Mr.
Hunt, of Almondsbury, who may be taken as a fair repre-
sentative of the sentiments of the independent agricultural
interest, has expressed his determination to support him.
leave ton.—A requisition to Mr. Charles Austen, the
barrister, is in course of signature.
111AlitYLEBONE.—Sat B. H•I.T..—A numerously attended
meeting of electors of Marylcbone was held yesterday at
Hall's riding.schocl. Albany-street, Regent's-mirk, to take
into consideration the claims of Sir B. Hall to be re-elected
as member for that borough. Sir Walter Stirling presidc
and after having explained the objects of the meeting, read
• letter from Sir C. Napier, wherein that gentleman an-
nounced his intended retirement from the representation of
the borough, one of the moons for which step was his
appointment u commander of the Channel squadron. ,
Mr. Ovingslen then proposed the usual motion, ap- I
proving of Sir Benjamin Hall as a fit end pro-
per person to be re-elected is their representative.
Mr. Smart seconded the resolution, after which Sir B. Hall
came forward, and was received with considerable applause.
After alluding to the period cf the day when the meet-
ing took place, which, although inconvenient for the atten-
dance of the labouring classes, he did not wish to be
esteemed a sign that he undervalued their influence,
nor did he mean to go to the poll without going
through the usual routine which candidates had a right
to perform, be continued by saying that what had been
stated with regard to himself was that they elected him in
1837 without knowing much about him ; and again in 1841,
because he fulfilled his pledges. Ile now naked them in
1847 to elect him fur • similar reason. He maintained that if
a man acted up to his professions he had,' right to come for-
ward in on open and straightforward way to ask &continuance
of their confidence; and as he believed that he had not
failed to carry out those principles which he had ever ad-
vocated, he conceived that right tq belong to himself. There
might be some who fancied that he had not properly disc
charged his duties, but he asked any person entertaining
such an opinion to take those duties for a week himself, and
he thought he would be glad to give them up *gala. He
went on to describe what be conceived to be the duties of an
efficient member of parliament, which, to his thinking,
consisted in a great deal more than merely attendance at
the homes and voting on the various subjects; and he asked
if in one of thou qualities he bad been found deficient ?
After briefly touching upon the various points of his political'
career, he spoke of the course which hu had taken lately with
regard to Ireland, and which, he maintained, was not anti-
Irish is its principles. He had in thet course only been ae-
tuated by a proper desire to make those who derived their
own support from that country contribute to the mainte-
nance of its poor. He went on to express his regret at the
news which they had beard with reference to their hon.
member, Sir C. Napier, of whose political conduct he spoke
in high terms, avowing that they had not disagreed in one
single point while acting as joint-members ; concluding by
promising, in the event of his re-election, to remain earnest
in the support of thus principles which he had for so many
years pursued. Sir B. Hall sat down amidst hearty applause.
After some objections te Sir B. Hall by Mr. Loyd Jones,
several questions were put to the hon. member on various
subjects, all of which appeared to besatisfactorily answered;
and were followed by the adoption of the resolution in his
favour, unanimously, with the exception of two or three. A
resolution of thanks to Sir C. Napier, for his conduct while
in office, comprised the remainder of the routine proceedings,
which were protracted to a considerable extent, in conse-
quence of the turbulent manifestations of a few of the parties
present.
