MARYLEBONE.

Lut night a public meeting of the electors wall
held in the theatre of the Literary Institution, Edwards-
street, Portman-square, to hear en address from Lord
Fermoy as a candidate to represent the borough in par-
Hamlet. Mr. PETER GRAHAM, of Oxford-ateed WU called
to the chair, and introduced laid Fermoy, who, u an Irish
peer, could not sit for an Irish borough, but was still most
anxious to take an active part In the legislation of the
country.
Lan FIRROT was received with applaueo. He ob-
served that for twenty years he had served the first
city of hie native laid in parliament. A. to their
local affairs, he was in flavour of local aelf-govern-
meat, and wee a determined opponent of centralisation.
(Cheers.) As to the general affairs, their new government
was one that he could not bat view with distrust. An agree-
ment wee coma to at Willis's Rooms that every section of
the liberal party should be represented in a new cabinet If
they united to tarn Lord Derby out ; but what had been
done—what est had come in ? (Hear.) There were whige,
Peelitee, and advanced liberals ; bat how were the arts
in the cabinet sppropriated ? Why, there were somady any
of the advanced lib/ rats. There were two advanced ItheaU
pitted against two old teries(Cheers and laughter.) That was
what in hie country was called one-aided reciprocity."
(Cheers and laughter.) The Pulite/a, the least numerous bs
the wintry, were the meet numerous in the Cabieet.(Hear.)
They were all in but two—Sir James Grisham and Mr. F.
Peel. Mr. blither Gibson was the only advanced
liberal—
(" No, no," and Hear"—for: he (Lord 'annoy) did not
believe Mr. Cobden would join in the unjust carryeg out of
the Willies-rooms compact. (Hear, hear.) If he did, they
might be sure that three months would not *tepee beim
Mil= Gibson and Richard Cobden would be out of the
Cabinet. lie therefore cossidand that the liberal party had
been unfairly treated. (Cheers.) He should watch them
carefully, and even euspiciauely ; they would have his sup-
port for good measures, but he would give them no blind
adhesion. On principle he war entirely averse to
the war, and considered this country would never
get into scrapes if it did not meddle in other
people's aides ; but still they must be prepared
to hold their own. All we need do was to look to our own
defence', but take care that it did sot interfere with vigilant
ecosorny. If they felt he was the man, he wee ready to
server but whoever succeeded in obtaining their suffrage*,
he hoped' they would be able to give • good account of lum.
Mr. CROVCIL wished to. know if the candidata intended
to support the opposition, u he bad given so ludicrous an so-
count of the present cabinet ? (" Oh, oh," and confusion.)
Lord FiRROT said he never had the slightest confidence
fa the Wise, bat ha wished the government to purees a good
sound liberal policy. He wished to see a religious education
fa children, but let each sect look after to own interests. lie
was in favour of shorter parliaments.
WYLD moved • resolution to the effect that the MM.
Mg, having heard Lord Fermoy, believe him to be a tried
advocate of liberal measures, end promisee to use its atter-
bona t, secure his return for the borough of Marylebone.
The motion having been rococried,
Mr. N MEWLS V, amidst considerable kterruption, declared
it unfair to per a resolution to pledge the meeting tie sup-
port any particular candidate until they had the candidates
before them.
Mr. BRUINS, of Paddington, amidst tremendous uproar,
moved an omeedment to the effect "That this moetng does
Dot deem it desirable to pledge itself to any candidate at the
put/cat moment, but that having heard the political °Mikes
of Lord Feramy, fully approve of the rune."
Mr. WARRINGTON, amidst renewed uproar and cries of
"Off, off," came forward to second the motion.
Mr. WALL, the chartist, al,o *dimmed the meeting on
the merits of the candidates amidst cheering and laughter,
and exptered his prefer, nee for Lord Fennoy.
The amendment was negatim d, and the original resolution
was carried by an overwhelming majority.
La.t night the adjourned meeting of electors took place, to
receive the reply of Sr Joshua Walmaley as to whether be
will consent to stand as a candidate. Mr. Churchwarden
Fe RNI•ls having been called to the chair, Mr. Jolts WIL-
SON reed the reply which bad bass received from Sir Joshua
Walarley. It wee as follows
. . . .

" Wolverton.park, Newberry.
"Sir Joshua Walmsley Is this moment, 6 o'clock p.m.,
favoured by a telegraphic =wage, asking If be would be-
come a caadidige for the representation of letarylebone, his
name having been received by acclamation.' Hs feels much
honoured by the invitattm seat, but the cost of a contest for
that borough is too great for him to take rack a respansi-
briny. He begs to expre-s his grateful acknowledgments to
those who have thus honoured hem.—To John Wilson, Erg."
A meeting of Calomel Dielason'a friends was slso held last
evening, at the Rising Sun Tavern, Chalton-street, Enstdn-

ber the cordial and generous support which so recently I

taMe as the best guarantee that in their hands the best inte-
rests and honour of the country will be sate • that while the

obeerved, and every effort used to maintain an honourable
peace, all necessary precautions will be taken to place the

condition fitted for any emergency ; and, finally, that no
time will be lest in proposing to parliament such measures of
reform se are necessary to bring our representative system
into harmony with public opinion. Aa soon as the
