BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.

Last evening a public meeting of the electors of the
borough of Marylebone, convened by the. vestries of
Marylebone and St. Pancras, was held, pursuant to an-
nouncement, at the spacious Vestry-hall of St. Pancras,
King's-road, Camden-town, for the purpose of giving
public expression to opinions at the present Ministerial
crisis as to the measures calculated to benefit the country.
Mr. Thomas Eld Baker, the senior Churchwarden of
St. Pancras, occupied the chair, and among those on the
platforms were Lord Dudley Stuart, MX., Sir B. Hall,
Bart., M.P., Mr. Mowatt, M.P Mr. John Williams,
&c.M.P., .
The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the business -by read-
ing the resolutions which were to be proposed, and ob-
served that he most cordially concurred in them, and
:thought at such a moment these assemblages of the people
of the highest importance.
Mr. BRETTINGHAX moved the first resolution:—
" That in the opinion of this meeting the fall of the late
Ministry is to be attributed -to their want of political
integrity, aud that without a'complete and thorough re-
form and representation in the Commons House of Par-
liament there can be no security for the people or for
the safety or stability of the Throne." Now s their
opportunity, before the Derby Ministry commenced
operations, .to tell that Government that the people
would never submit to a re-imposition of the duty on
food.—(Cheers.)
Mi. MICHELL, of Marylebone, seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously.
Mr. C. FREETE moved the second resolution
" That in the present state of public enlightenment and
political knowledge, an extension of the suffrage to all
occupiers is imperatively called for. That the ballot is
indispensably necessary. That triennial Parliaments
'ere absolutely required; and that small boroughs should
be extinguished, and electoral districts arranged, so that
population, intelligence, and property, may be more
equally represented."
Mr. MANNING seconded this resolution, and denounced
the projected Reform Bill introduced by Lord J. Russell
as a perfect abortion.
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Sir B. Hem., M.P., on presenting himself to the meet-
ing, was received with immense cheering. The Hon.
Baronet proceeded to give an analysis of the Bill, which
he said would have increased the electoral body by halt
a million, which was a movement in the right direction.
The evils were that the franchise was too high; there
was no ballot; the rate-paying clauses and the Septen-
nial Act were not abolished, and those miserable and
despicable boroughs, to the number of thirteen,which had
under the old Reform Bill been plabed in Schedule A, had
been reintroduced to the franchise.— (Hear, hear, and
" Shame!") These 13 places numbered only 302 104-
houses,•aud they were to return 26 Members to Perlis-
ment.—(Shame.) They had now arrived at what was
termed a Ministerial crisis.—(Hear, hear.) A. new
Ministry had been formed.—(Hear.) Would they like
to hear the names of the new Ministry?—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) He could assure them his (Sir B. Hall's)
name was not among them.—(Loud laughter and
cheers.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Disraeli.
—(Roars of laughter, and groans.) They ought not
to laugh; it was a fact. Home-office, Mr. Walpole;
Board of Trade, Mr. Henley; Foreign Affairs, the Earl
of Malmesbury.—(Cries of " Who's he?") He was
formerly Member for Christchurch, which he (Sir B.
Hall) had designated as one of the miserable and con-
temptible boroughs which ought to be in schedule A.—
(Cheers.) Privy Seal, Lord Lyndhurst—(Groans)—
Privy Council, Lord Lonsdale; Lord Chancellor, Sir E.
Sugden—(Groans)—and Colonies, Pakington. The
appointment to the Woods and Forests was most cu-
rious—it was Lord J. Manners.—(Laughter.) It would
be remembered that this gentleman started for the city
of London, and Mr. Raikes Currie managed to rake up
this poetical effusion of the Noble Lord, from which
they might easily glean how much he was in favour of
the people:—
"Let laws and learning, wealth and commerce, die,
"But God preserve our old nobility."
(Roars of laughter.) Well, then, there was the
Board of Control, Mr. llerries ; Admiralty, the
Duke of Nor thumberland—(Laugh ter)— and the
Post-office, Lord Hard wicke. That was the
Ministry which was now to govern us un-
fortunate people.—(A Voice, Where's Sib-
thorp ?" and roars of laughter.) Now he (Sir B. Hall)
cared not whether a man was Whig, Radical, Tory. or
Chartist; if he acted up to either of those opinions con-
scientiously he had a right to be respected ; but let him
(the Hon. Baronet) call their attention to one fact in
reference to that man who was now to lead the House
of Commons. In 1833 Mr. Benjamin Disraeli issued
an address to the electors, seeking to represent that bo-
rough, which address he (Sir B. Hall) would take care,
when he next addressed the electors for Buckingham-
shire, should be printed side by side with his present ad-
dress in double columns, so that the electors of Buck-
inghamshire might " look on this picture and on that."
—(Tremendous cheering,) He (Sir B. Hall) had never
done what that man bad. He had never endeavoured to
set up the aristocrocy against the democracy, or to set
up democracy against the aristocracy.—(Hear.) He had
felt that the laws might be so equitably framed as to
secure an equal balance, but he called upon those u-
sembled to listen to what he was going to read, and
they would then see the character of the man who was
now about to lead the Commons of England and of the
empire. In 1833 a pamphlet was published by Ridgway
of Piccadilly, having the singularly appropriate title of
" What is he?"—(ilear, hear.) Well, they would see
what he was.—(Hear, hear.) Listen It is possible
that the Tories (let them mark the word) may imagine
that there are two modes by which the aristocratic prin-
ciple may be restored. First, by force; secondly, by a
coalition between two aristocratic parties. But, be-
lieving that it is utterly impossible to restore the aristo-
cratic principle, and believing that unless some principle
of action be infused into the Government, a convulsion
must ensue,, what aro the easiest and most obvious
methods by which the demwratie principle may be
made predominant?"—(Hear, hear.) Then this man
says...." It would appear that the easiest and most ob-
vious methods are the instant repeal of the Septennial
Act, the iustitution of election by ballot, and the im-
mediate dissolution of Parliament. I record here my
solemn conviction, and the result of my own unpreju-
diced meditation." —(bear, hear.) These were the
words of this man in 1833, when he was seeking the
representation of Marylebone; and now this same man
goes down to Buckinghamshire upon the principle that
the only thing to benefit the nation is to tax the food of
the people!—(Loud groans, and' Shame!") The Hon.
Baronet here referred to his connexion with the borough
for fifteen years, and, as the Now Chancellor of the
Exchequer had once aspired to the honour of repre-
senting Alarylebone, he should like nothing better than
(Laughter and cheering
meet him on the hustings.—

amidst which Sir B. Hall resumed his sea'.)
Lord DUDLEY STUART explained his views on the
new Reform Bill, and expressed his general admiration
of Lord Palmerston, but voted arrainst him on the Mi-
litia Bill because he thought the Government proposed
the lesser evil. With reference to the new Ministry,
they might depend upon it that, a Government adverse

THE HUNGARIAN EXILES AND THE
ENGLISH COMMITTEE.
We have been requested by Count Paul Esterhazy
to give insertion to the following letter to Lord Dudley
Stuart:—
"My dear Lord Dudley Stuart,—Your letter to me,
announcing the dissolution of your committee for the re-
lief of Hungarian exiles, I have communicated to the
emigration assembled for the purpose. •
" The dissolution of your benevolent committee is a
circumstance as deeply felt by my fellow exiles as the
reasons which,determined this your resolution are tho-
roughly appreciated by all of them.
" You end as you began; as you have acted since with
energetic perseverance, you end with benevolence, a sense
of justice and sincerity; you abstain from cherishing in
others hopes you cannot give.
" Let me express our sincerest, our most heartfelt
'thanks to *you, my Lord, and to the other members of
that committee whose unceasing efforts relieved so much
need, cheered so much 'distress, receive them as a tribute
of deep and indelible gratitude offered to you by the
whole emigration in England.
" May you find your reward in the voice of your con.
Science, may you find it in the constant remembrance of
what you have done for suffering humanity.
`•Believe me, my dear Lord Dadky Stuart, with
esteem and regard, ever yours.
" COUNT PAUL ESTEMIAZY.

Io Classics—Either of the following Greek and Latin au-
thors (at the option or. the candidate), Herodotur, book ;
the Iliad, book vi: ; Virgil's Eneid, book via. ; and Liry.
InMatheruatics—Arithmetic, Algebra, as far as to include

Hydrostatics, Acoustics, and Optics. In French—Transla-
tions into English of Passages from one of the French Clas-
sical writers.

Advises from Vienna, of the 19th instant, state
that the prospects of the money market continued to become
more unfavourable. The premium was again 30!4 per cent.
on gold, and 24 on silver. The operation of the new tariff'
had disappointed the agents of foreign manufacturers, as it
was found to be impossible to introduce any goods under it
with advantage. In a better state of the currency, however,
the result might be in some degree different. Accounts from
Turkey stated that the financial affairs of that country had
been much improved by the imposition of a new poll-tax ,
and that the Government Bank at Constantinople was in
consequence regarded with more confidence.
