from men who were quite able to carry it out, and,
therefore, whoever might be his own feelings towards
Mr. Crawford, he did not feel that he would be justified
in placing Baron Rothschild in a fllse position.
On the motion of Mr. Joeoh Cooper, seconded by,
Mr. Batemin, the thanks of the mooting were then ten-
dered to Mr. Hall for his conduct in the chair.

MARYLEBONE.
Last night a meeting of the electors of Marylebone
resid,nt in St. Pancras, was held (by permission of the
vestry) in St. Princros Vestry hall, King's•road, " for
the purpose of adopting energetic n.leasurrs to st cure the
triumphant re-election or Sir B. Hall, Bart., and Lord
D. Stuart." The large hall was completely crowded.
Sir B. Hall and Lord D. Stuart were both present. and
were attended on the platform by a large and infl,ren•
tial body of genlemen, composing the Marylebone cora-
mitt co.

The chair was taken by Mr. W. BILLETT, who re-
ferred to the faithful and indefatigable laboura of the two
candidates in Parliament, to their end Tree support of
the cause of tiedl and religious liberty, and their close
and minute attention to the local interests oldie borough.
[le called upon the electors to repose the utmost con.
fidence in the two gentlemen now again soliciting their
cuff: ages, to act towards them in a spirit of manly gene-
- rosity, and to return teem triumphantly, and free of
expense.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BRETTINGUA3I, after a short speech in favour of
real practical aviesures of reform, called upon the ales
tors to give a great moral example to England by re-
turning the canidates now before them free of all ex-
pense. It was of en said, that if they had vote by ballot
and a great extension of the suffrage, the Church and
all the other institutions of the country would be de.
stroyed ; but he was satisfied that if they had vote by
ballot to-morrow, and every man who bad a house or a
lodging was in possession of the franchise, the gentle-
men now seeking their suffrages would be returned by a
triumphant majority.—(Hear.) He rejoiced in the of
forts made by Sir B Hall to reform the Church. It
was well known that if any of the aristocracy had a fool
in their family they made a parson of him—(A iaugh)—
and the result was the existence of very great abuses
in the Church, which loudly demanded a rene:dy.—
(Hear.) The Hen. Gentlemen concluded by moving the
tenoning resolution

Lord D Stuart eminently entitle them to a renewal et

opposition with which he was assailed by a large por-
tion of the meeting. Ultimately, on the interposition of
Lord D. Stuart, he was allowed to put his question'
which was, whether Lord D. Stuart, when he voted
against the first reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill,
believed he spoke the sentiments of a majority of the
people of Msrylebone?—(Cheers and disapprobation.)
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. Ross. in moving the next resolution, stated that
the Rev. Mr. Hughes,a minister of the Established Church
(from whom a letter was read), had subscribed two
guineas towards the election expenses—(Cheers)—and
he hoped that when their two candidates tecame Minis-
ters of the Crown (of which he had no doubt) one of
their first acts would be to make Mr. Hughes a bishop.
—(Great laughter.) He moved—
" That this meeting, considering the faithful services of
their late representatives, pledge themselves to use their
best exertions, in unison with the other parishes of the
borougb, to secure their return, free of all expense; and
that subscriptions be forthwith entered into for that
otjeea"
Mr. MANNING seconded the resolution, which was
also earned unanimously, after a few words from a Mr.
C 'Lens, who wished to know whether the candidates
would present and support a petition to Parliament
"for the restoration of the social and political rights of
the people ?"
Sir 13. Ham, after some observations relative to the
manner in which he had discharged his Parliamentary
duties, said, the last time they had him in that ball was
at a m,.-eting called fur the purpose of d clarieg the
opinion of Sr. Pancras on the sarject of reform, just
immediately before Lord John Russell brought forward
his promised measure of last session. That me-asure,
a-hen it was ia:roduc-d, was found to be in many re-
sp-cts cf a very unsetisiactory character, for thoueh it

r BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.
A public meeting was held last evening in the B ritish
School-room, Greenman's-lane, Islington. for the pn r pose
of promoting the re-election of Mr. T. S. Dune )mbe.
The chair was taken at eight o'clock by Mr, Hodgkin.
■ The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, ex-
pressed his regret that there should be any necessity for
a meeting of electors on that occasion, as he thought
that there should have been no opposition offered to Mr.
Duncombe, after his many years of service, but that he
should have been returned to Parliament by the (accla-
mations of the people, as one of the most tried and un-
' ffnching advocates of the popular cause.—(Hear, bear.)
With'regard to one of Mr. Dancombe's opponents, Mr.
Wyld, be (the chairman) did not wish to say anything,
,end on an y other occasion ho might have given him his
support. But with respect to Alderman Challis, it should
tas remembered that he was a member of a body that
taxed the people's coals, and was in other respects op-

Knew what Mr. Duocombe's principles were, and that
they had remained unaltered on all important points
'luring the last eighteen years.- Believing that ha was
a candidate in all respects deserving of their support, he
(Ir. Witlidms) called upon them to agree to the follow-
a.g resolution:—
' This meeting highly approving of the political prin-
ciples, and being grateful for the past services of Mr.
Duncombe as one of the Members tor this borough,, re-
solves to return him again at the coming election.
Mr. PARRY seconded the motion.
Mr. DuNc MBE, who was received with loud cheers,
then came tor .ard, and said that that meeting would
close the public CSIIVibS RMO he, had felt it hilt duty to
so through during the last fortnight, in order that be
might awertein the feelings and wishes of the electors
of Finsbury with regard to the ensuing contest. Per-
haps they were not aware, for he had himself heard it
officially only that evening, that one of his opponents,
,Ir. G qiiiner, had retired from the contest—(Laughter)
—consequently there remained only the late member for
Bodmin (Mr. Wyld) and Alderman Challis; and be must
confess that he wished they were going to the poll under
different circumstances, and had to contend with him on
opposing principles, but, as it was, they were putting
him on the defensive, and were trying to diplace him,
although they held the same principles as himself.--
(Hear, hear, and no, no.) He did not know whether
the elector who said "no," meant to assert that his op-
ponents had no wish to supplant him; but it should be
remembered, that both Alderman Challis and Mr. Wyld
had come forward before Mr. Wakley had resigned.—
(Hear.) He (Mr. Duncornbe) formed no coalition with
any one, and if they would only place him at the head of
the poll, they might do as they pleased with respect to
Alderman Challis and Mr. Wyld. He had always been
of opinion that when a representative of the people had
conscientiously discharged his duties in Parliament, he
need
never be afraid of meeting his fellow-citizens, and
be believed that the electors of
that he had, at all events, were persuaded
s f Finsbury
with
ho-
nesty, sincerity, and zeal. performed his
His oppo-
nents said that they would attend to the local interests
of the borough, and great stress had been laid upon that
point; but he wanted to know when he had ever betrayed
or neglected their local interests?—(Cheers.) When the
local Acts of the borough had been endangered he had
always been at his post to defend them, and he had al-
ways done his best to effect the repeal of that obnoxious
law, called Sturges Bourne's Act.—(Hear, bear.) Is
was not fur any want of application on his part that they
bad not at present a park in Finsbury. He had always
used his best exertions with the Minister of the day to
effect that most desirable object, and he believed that if
Lord Seymour had remained in office a park would by
that time have been granted to them. The Honourable
G, sideman, after briefly alluding to his support of the
Metropolitan Water Supply and Extramural Interments
Bills of last session, concluded, amidst loud cheers, by
entreating the electors to be early at the poling booths
on Thursday morning, so as to ensure a speedy and de-
cisive triumph for those Liberal and Radical principles
for which they had so of.en fought together.
The resolution was then put, and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. W. WILKES moved the following resolution :

Far eiT.-ciing the object now in view, this meeting
pledges it,elf ko place bir. Duhcombe in that position on
the poll which he i-i entitled to occupy, and also assist in
reuroing him free of expcia,e."
Thy motion having be, n s c3ndel by Mr. EDWARDS,
svLs carried unanimously, and the prucetdingb then Let-
initiated.

Yesterday afternoon a put)! c meeting of electors of the
hot- ,ugh of Finsbury was held at the George and Blue
Bear, High Holnorn; Mr, Steph. a Pearson in the chair,
Mr. J. VVYLD tvidre,t4ed the meeting in explanation of
his vi..W4 and po,ions on various p,,litical and social
questions, and on his course of conduct in the House of
Commons in the event of his election, which appeared to
Lure: with the approb awn of the meeting,
Mr. JAMES moved a retolution expressive of confi-
enencer in Mr, Wyld, aid pledging tee meeting to support
him at the erDuirsg election. He announced that Mr.
Gardner, one of the candidates for the r, presentation of
the bormtah, bad resigned in favour of Mr. Wyld,
LINDO second d the ro,olution. H,, said that the
vestion to bo decided at the ensuing election was no
longer Free Trade or Protection, for even Lord Maid-
stone, the Consery itive candidate for Westminster--
(Lau 4iter) had publicly announced that Protection
could no longer be supported; the question to be de-
cided by the electors was progression or retrogression.
The reeolution was then adopted unanimously.
