ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

M ARYLS BON E.
Yesterday a deputation of electors of this borough
waited upon Mr. Bernal Osborne, to present to that gentle-
man a numerously signed requisition, soliciting him to stand
as the liberal candidste, in the room of Sir'lleuisinin
The deputation stated, LlMlTilinie Ort7r=rt-
duals had presumed, upon their own perm responsibility,
to invite • gentleman to come forward and thus dictate to tho
borough, they had, although hurriedly, got up the following
requisition, which the electors signed with the greatest
wiadimaa.

" To Bernal Osborue Req.—The undersigned, being *leo-
toes of the borough of Marylebone, folly convinced of the
liberality of your political sentiments, and of the talent
which enables you to give full expression and effect to the '
same when required to be brought into active exertion,
are of opinion that such qualifications are eminently mated to
and required in a representative of this important borough.
Having been informed on undoubted authority that our pro-
sent
excellent member, Sir B. Hell, is about to be raised to
the peerage, thereby musings vacancy in the borough, we 11
Melly and respectfully request you to become • candidate, and
should youthink tit favourably to entertain this our regain- I
dike, we pledge ourselves individually and collectively to
use every exertion in our power to promote your return.'
Mr. BERNAL 00110)1NE expreeeed the high gratificatien
he felt at the compliment paid to him. In the tint t: leas
had understood the duties of a representative ;li the
of Marylebone to be so onerous as almost to appal the most
experienoedparliamentary tactician. The next was the expense
of contesting such a borough. When it was found that Lord
Bberington's electivn expenses exceeded 6,0001.14 beam
alarming to say candidate, and he (Mr. Osborne) was ter-
Minty not prepared to fight such a battle as that, much as he
should tippet:tate a seat in parliament for seek • borough.
On looking over his father's papers he toned that he
had paid sixty thousand pounds in forty pars in parliamen-
tary expenses, and he had made up his mind not to do so
too deb an act binned. He wee quite willing to rerve the
liberal party in the great borough of Marylebons it they
thought him worthy to represent them, but he should con-
sider it presumptuous in himself to come forward ankles he
received such a public invite as would justify him in believ-
ing that he wan likely to unite the great mass of the liberal
party. Ho knew that the electors of Mantle:cue were ex-
ceedingly sensitive, and very properly so, in reference to
anything like dictation, and that would make him exceedingly
caution,. If, however, there appeared anything like •
general feeling In his fame be would not hesitate.
The deputation amend Mr. Osborne that throughout the
length and breadth of the borough his name was spoken of
Vila approved ash fitting candidate to messed Sir B. Hell.
Mr. Bennet Beisoarm said, If • militia meriting of the
electors were celled be would have malt pkeenrelnetee
ing and addressing ft, sad it would be for these seg,lll .
thought him worthy of aupport. lf, however, Seqg felf
they coeld find • better man, he would cheeks/1y Mass so
that the reform interest should not be jeopardised. •
The deputation stated they should take immediate Mei
for calling a public meeting of the liberal electors.
During the afternoon large pink placards were
throughout the borough, beerier. the words " Bernal Osborne,d
the liberal candidate ter Marylebone ;" and Colonel Dickson
was engaged in canvassing in various districts. The writ Is
expected to be issued on Thareday, cud the election to take
place in the coarse of the following week. It is fallyfialitived
the conservatives will start • candidate.

Last EVOIDOS a DE= the liberal patty, conecnot by
the Political and P Association of the Borough of
Mayleboos, took plate at the Colosseum Hotel, Poimd-
read, to °milder what steps should be taken to secure a
repressetative for the borough in parliament. Mr.
pamper re
FIELD, of OalordMreet, was called to the chair,
aied the ream was densely crowded.
The CIIAIIIIAX openrd the liminess by referring to the
elevatke of air B. Hall to the peerage, which had led to
the vacancy, and maid they had mrembled to consider the
best person likely to be the auccemor of the right hon.
baronet. He thought Shot the advisable course would be,
that gi admen should popes the names of those they
thought eligible osadidetes. (Rear, heir)
Kr. .1. IL Cou.ixa aid he had much pleasure Is pro-
=he name of a gentleman who waa one of the most
politicians In the country, but unfortunately at this
mama without a mat In parliament. It was highly wow
sari that a great borough like llgarylebotie should bo repre-
sented by a gentleman of great parliamentary experience, sad
one who had too ability to maintain their rights. Be begged
lean to propose that Mr. Bernal Osborne--(bad ap-
plases)—be invited to stand ea a candidata. (Cheers.)
)Ir. Bottom/ ascended this amninatioa.

W,. CLEMENT OZOIOI mid what they wanted w• 11 a N.
prematigin who would be alive equally with the right hos.
baronet to their looal interests. He believed that Mr. Bernal
Osbursawmidd not be that man. Be concluded by proposing
the num of Colossi Dklace. (Cheers, and disarm.)
Mr. P.mspeoonded the moths.
Mr. HAROIL•Vi proposed • third gentleman. With re.
Bard to Colonel' Dickson, be was a very lsto convert to liberal
opinions. He bad no experience in political life ; and if he
wished to go into parliament, he had better try • small bo-
rough. (Laughter.) With regard to Mr. Osborne, he was a
vary loud Parker out of office, but in office a very silent mem-
ber. They wanted • man of more advanoed opinions, and
such • gentleman wee the one he proposed—Mr. White, the
late member for Plymouth.

Mr. VAVOHLN seconded the motion pro forma.
Mr. NICHOLAT nominated Major Lyoa, as a thorough
liberal, and a valuable =ember of the Metropolitan Board of
Work,.

iiii:Witrrwona did not like either of the candidates, sad
nominated Mr. Roam Currie; who was seconded by Mr.
Dleranoan, jun.
Mr. Rosins moved a resolution, to the effect, "That It
would be inexpedient for this meeting to come to a decision
this evening to support any particular candidate; but that
a public meeting be called to hear the opinions of Mr. Bernal
Osborne, Colonel Dick.on, Mr. White, Major Lyons, or any
other candidate."
Mr. Honors seconded this motion ; and an amendment
wee moved, to the effect " That a decision be come to, and
that the candidate selected be waited upon;' but which was
ultimately withdrawn.
TM resolution wadi ultimately carried.

The following letter bee been addressed by Mr. Edwin
James to Sir James Duke, M.P.:
" My dear Sir James Duke,—Saveral of my conetitnenta,
anticipating a vacancy In the representation of the borough
of Maryletone by the elevatioa of Sir Benjamin 11211 to the

rence of that event. I appreciate this mark of their esteem

27f I GOVERNMENT.

The following letter from Mr. Gladstone to the
Provost of Oriel has been printed and circulated in the
Common Rooms at Oxford:

"11, Carlton Housegennoe, June 17.

"My dear Proved tf Oriel, —This day is the first on
which I have felt myself at liberty to address any state-
- toast respecting my intended assumption of office as Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer even to those who will have either
to grant or to refuse me reelection. The question
read by the proposal I have received has for
me been a simple one. I trust it may be equally
so to others if I recall their allentien to past mats,
'Various differences of opinion, both on foreign and
domestic matters, separated me, daring great pert of the ad-
ministration of Lord Palmerston, from a body of men with
tho majority of whom I bad ailed, and had acted in perfect
harmony, under Lord Aberdeen. I promoted the vote of the
Huse of Commons in February of last year which led to the
demean of that ministry. Saab having been the case, I
thought limy clear duty to support as far as I was able the
government of Lord Derby. Accordingly, on the various
OCCIOIOLIM, during the existence of the late parliament, when
they wore seriously threatened with danger or embeernes-
meet, I found myeelf, like many other indej cadent mem-
bore, lending them such sesistenee as was in my power.
And, although I could not concur in the late reform bill,
and considered the dissolution to be singularly ill-advised,
I still was unwilling to found on such disapproval a vote
in favour qt the motion of Lord Hartington, which ap-
peared to imply a course of previous opposition, and which
her been the immediate cause of the change of ministers.
Under these circumstances, It was, I think, manifest,
that, while I had not the smallest claim en the victorious
party, my duty as toward the late Maur, of the crown had
been fully dist:lured. It Is hardly needful to say that,
previously to the recent vole, there was no negotiation or
anderetandine with me fa regard to office; but when Lord
Palmerston had undertaken to form • cabinet be acquainted
me with Ms desire that I should join it. A proposal of that
kind must be answered by reference to the paramount in-
terests and ditties of the period when it is made. These, In
the present Manna, are without doubt to be found, tint, in
the guidance of our foreign policy with respect to the Italian
war ; and, secondly, in the settlement of the weighty subject
of parliamentary reform. With respect to the first of these,
ever since my mind was turned to the owe of Italy my views
and convictions have bees fa unison with those of the states-
men who will now be ohiefiy charged with our foreign affairs.
It ia thus my clear duty, in or out of 0111011, to support them in
the difficult task of so maintaining the neutrality of England
as not to loss the openings which events may offer for using her
impartial influence on behalf of the stability and justice of
peltticel arrangements abroad, and of the peace and happiness
of Europe. With respect to reform I understood the coun-
eels of Mr. Walpole red Mr. Henley, and I believe that If
they had been followed the retied of reform would in all
likelihood have been settled at this date, without either a dis-
solution of parliament or • change of administration. But I
have never understood the principles on which that subject
has been managed since the schism in the late government.
I also think it undeniable that the fact of the dissolution,
together with the return of au adverse and now no longer
indulgent majority, rendered the settlement of this question
by the late ministers impossible. I therefore naturally turn
to the hope of its being settled by • cabinet mainly con-
stituted and led by the men together with whom I was re-
sponsible for framing and proposing a reform bill in 1864.
It thus appeared clear to me, not only that opposition
on my part to the government of Lord Palmerston would be
en unprincipled course, but that these were precisely the cir-
cumstances which brought into its fullest force the duty of
rendering service and support to those who, having been
honoured with the confidence of her Majesty in a critical
state of parliament and of partiee, are to be charged with the
cooduct of @akin graver end more arduous, perhaps, as a
whole for England, than any since the peace of 1816. I
have long known and lamented the public inconvenience
brought about by separate action; and, "abject to the
conditions of honour and of public utility I could not
with propriety pass by any opportunity of 'bringing it at
least in my own person to a close. I understand
that misgiving exists with respect to my sitting
in a cabinet of which Mr. Gibson is • member, and
which Mr. Cobden will be invited to join. The very same
feelings were expreesed, as I well recollect, when too lets
Sir William Molesworth entered the cabinet of Lord Aber-
deen. Sir William Moissworth never to my knowledge com-
promised his political independence; yet three apprehen-
sions wore, I think, not justified by the subequent course
of events. Bat all experience, by eo means excepting
that of the late government, seems to show that cebinete
cannot In the present state of things be constituted with-
out including some, and perhspe wide, differences of opinion,
even upon queetione of high import. The reel moment of
three differenres cannot be tested by mere reference to
anterior end abstract declerations ; but only in the practical
appUentien of principles, under the weight of responsibility
tor the conduct of affaire. I may perhaps venture to
add, that among the faults which have at any time been
found in me, has never bean that of an undue subeerviesey to
to the opinions of others. Were I permitted the mode of
address usual upon elections, I should, after this preliminary
a:plane:ion, proceed to submit with confidence to my court',
tants that, es their representative, I have acted according to
the obligations which their choice and favour brought upon
me, and that the ministry which has thought fit to dee',re my
cooperation is entitled In my person as well as othoterlas to
be exempt from condemnation at the first mornerss of its

existence. Its title to this extent is perhaps the more dear,
becalm among its early as well u ita very gravest dudes
will be the proposal of • reform bill, whic'a, if It be
accepted by parliament, must lead after no lor.g interval to a
hevh general appeal to the people; and w',il thus afford a
reel opportunity of judging whether the p•jhbe men easoel-
Med in the present cabinet have or have nr,t forfeited by that
act, or by its legitimate consequences, any confidence of
which they niay previously have berm thought worthy.
Your kindness in proposing my name to convocation on so
wanT"'sce6sive "sash= has led me to trouble you with
this lengthened letter. I hope it may be justified by the
gravity of the present jusetnre; sm.d, having so far tree
on your pstienoe, I cheerfully lerrve in the bends to which it
belongs the task of considetinrs what course the honour of
the University may requiro.—l remain, my dem Provost
of Oriel, very sincerely y ova,
" W . E. GLADSTONI."

The following osrd was extenairely circulated
throughout Oxford yesterday Members of convo-
cation are reepectially informed that the Marquis of Chandon
of Christ Church, has coosented to be put in nomination as

now be oomodered as giving his definite adhesion to the
liberal party as at present reconstructed, and as approving of
the policy of these who overthrew Lord Derby's governount
on the late division. By his vote on that division
Mr. Gladstone expressed his confidence in the sdmiuiatratioa
of Lord Derby. By ac,,epting office he now espre.ses his
confidence in the administration of Lord Derby's t
and ouccessor. Under these circumstances it I. rthat
the electors of the univerefty ehould have an opportunity et

The inaugural meeting of this association was held
ay evening, at the London Tavern ; the LORD
yesterday
in the chair. Ilte attendance woe very numerous,
consisting chiefly of the clam of persons for whose benefit the
institution was daigned.
After en introductory speech by the Lord Mayor,—
The BECIDETARY (Mr. Joseph Limns) read the report, which
set forth the objects of the association. In giviega history of
the Ifsaohester Association referred to by the Lord
Mayer, it stared that ft began in 1866 with 100 membere
and that it had now nearly 2,000, extending over more than
400 firma, the claims in the last year amounting to 1,1311.
With respect to the Bret object of the society, that of provi-
ding temporary assistance, the rules provided that if a mem-
ber were under thirty years of age on entering, for a sub-
scription of 4e, per month be should be entitled to receive
when out of employment 21. per week for the first four
weeks, 1/, per week for the following eight weeks, and 10s.
per week for the succeeding twelve weeks, being in all
twenty-four we:Am—benefit 221. If the members were
above thirty years of age on entering, there would be en in-
crease of 6d. per month fur every fire years to secure the
same benefit. For a subscription of 3e. or 21. per
meath, a corresponding sum would be allowed after the above
scale, six months membership was rtquired before the mem-
ber was entitled to receive any sum from the funds, and he
mud have held his dilution three months before be was
eligible for admission, it being thus provided that a member
ehnuld have held his situation at toast nine months before
he could become a claimant on deount of want of occupation.
The Rev. Dr. BRINDLE; of Cheater, moved the following
resolution " That this meeting having attentively considered
the statement made by the secretary, highly approves of the
objects of the association, and its proposed mode of govern-
ment—believing, too, that the London Warebotmernen and
Chas' Provident Association is calculated to do a very I .rge
amount of goc,d in this great community, it pledges itself to
promote its interest., end cordially invites all who are eligible
to become members without delay." After observing that
the Lord Mayor had so completely explained the objects of
the association that there was no neusetty for further expo-
sition. he entered into a number of details with a view of
showing the need of such an association. It might be sup-
potted by some that there would be too many clamant; but
the very strength of the association wee that only a very
amen number of thou who would be entitled to receive would
actually claim guidance.

Yr. W. FARRIN, in seconding the resolution, expressed
a hops that London would not be behind Manchesterh
ga:win as re-
r the su an tion hke this.
Thdede reisolution wads
thenim potmol end carried unanatt.)
On the motion of Mr. Onwin, seconded by r. H.
EDWARDS' the bellowing resolution wee also adopted:
"That this meeting is of opinion that ma no ono of doubtful
character will be admitted as a member of the London Were.
housemen end Clerk.' Provident Association. it will ofier no
inconsideratle guarantee to employers for the good conduct
of those whom they may appoint to situations from its regi-
sters; at the same time that it will be a greet check upon the
employed, who will be required to produce a oertticats of
good conduct on relinquishing their situations."

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
separated.
