for London in the first instance, but was brought
for-
ward by the spontaneous wishes Of the citiz-ns, wlow
anxious to See the last remnant of religious intolerance er e
swept away, and he hoped the Baron would be returned
until he was admitted into Parlianient. -- (Cheers.)
He did not approve of Mr. Masterman's politics,
but he had been e consistent and constant attendant to
his Parliamentary duties, and he was willing to let him
pass.--(Cheers.) But not so Sir James Duke, who op-
posed the repeal of the navigation-laws, and had be-
trayed he Lord

and he should therefore prefer Mr. Crawford to him; and
he called upon the electors to return Mr. Crawford in
preference to Sir James Duke.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DAHIN defended Sir James Duke, and appealed
to the electors whether it would not have been fairer
and a more manly course had Mr. Bennoch preferred his
chargesagainst Sir James at a time when Sir James
would have bad an opportunity of replying to them.—
(Hear, hear.) sir James Duke was worthy of the con•
fidence which he asked of them, and he therefore called
upon them to support his claims.—(Cheers.)
After a few words from Mr. RICHARDS, a mechanic,
which the noise and uproar rendered totally inaudible,
a show of hands wee taken, and the result was declared
to be in favour of Mr. Masterman, Lord John Russell,
Baron Rothschild, and Mr. Crawford.
A poll was demanded on behalf of Sir James Duke,
and the poll was directed to be opened at eight o'clock
to-morrow.
Mr. CRAWFORD felt highly honoured by the result of
the show of hands, bat he appealed to those friends who
had brought him forward not to allow the struggle to be
carried as far as a poll. For his own part, under all
the circumstances, be was strongly disposed to withdraw
from the contest, having full confidence in Lord John
Russell.
Lord J. RUSSELL promised to do all in his power to
promote the general welfare of the city of- London, and
of the country, and with that declaration he begged to
thank Mr. Crawford for the very handsome manner in
which he bad spoken of him.—(Cheers.)
On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, seconded by Mr.
MAsTEnsure, thanks were then given to the Sheriffs,
and the proceedings of the day, which were opened at
ten o'clock, closed at one o'clock.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
The nomination for the extensive and important
borough of Stiarylebone took place to-day, at twelve
o'clock.
In consequence of the two Hon. Candidates, Sir Ben-
jamin Hall and Lord Dudley Stuart, being unopposed,
there was none of that uproar and disturbance whioh
usually characterise contested elections.
The hustings were erected at the top of Portland-
place, where a very numerous crowd assembled some
time before the- proceedings commenced. At eleven
o'clock the friends and supporters of the two candidates
met at Trinity Church, in the New-road, prior to form-
ing themselves into a procession to escort the Hon.
Baronet and the Noble Lord to the hustings. Shortly
atter that hour Sir Benjamin Hall and Lord Dudley
Stuart, accompanied by their respective nominators and
seconders, reached the church in a c4rriage and

neighbourhood, and returned down Portland place to the
hustings. By this time the crowd had considerably in-,
creased, bat the greatest order and good humour was
Observed.

The preeept, writ, and Riot Act having been read,
and the Returning Officer having briefly addressed the
electors on the important privilege they were about to
exercise,

Mr. ALFRED DANIEL, of St. Marylebone, proposed Sir
Benjamin Hall, Bart., of Llanover Court, county of
Monmouth, and Great Stanhope-street, as a fit and
proper person to represent the borough in the Commons
House of Parliament. During the many years he had
been their representative he had performed his duties
ably, faithfully, and without compromise, and it was
well known he had taken a most active and useful part
in every important discussion in Parliament affecting
the rights and well-being of the people.—(Cheers.) He
had done great service by his unceasing endeavours to
purge of its impurities that Augean stable—the ecclesi-
astical courts—(Cheers)—and by his advocacy of that
principle which enabled the working classes to enjoy
the blessings of cheap bread.—(Cheers.) If they sent
him to Parliament, he trusted he would keep an eye
upon the bishops, should they not, in the meantime,
set their house in order—(Laughter)—end also see that
the worthy and working clergy obtained a just amount
of remuneration.—(Cheers.)
The nomination was seconded by Mr. STOCKTON, of
St. Pancras, who considered that the Hon. Baronet had
on no occasion faltered in his duty or falsified a

promise.
The nomination of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart was
then proposed by Mr. BitErneamesi, of St. Pancras, •
and seconded by Mr. JOHN CASSELL, of Marylebone.
No other candidate being proposed,
The RETURNING OFFICER declared, amid loud cheers,
that Sir Benjamin Hall and Lord Dudley Stuart were
fo huirmthselof
duly elected representatives for the borough.

presenting
the
honour of appearing on the hustings as a candidate for
Marylebone; but it was the first time he and his Ho-
nourable Friend had the honour of being returned
without having to encounter the opposition of
a competitor. This circumstance was the best
assurance that the course they had severally pur-
sued in the House of Commons had met with the ap-
proval of their constituents.—(Hear, hear.) He himself
felt that he had done his duty to the electors, and, as re-
garded the future, he should follow out that same line
for
of political conduct which he had now adopted
to
the
:obvert up-
wards of twenty years.—(Hear, hear.) In regard
ub or
w
question of reform, he did not desire to . .
destroy the Constitution under which they
did
he ; and if the Earl of Derby thought he did
he must be .allowed to differ from him,, for he
considered that by carrying into
had always
e ITec t those
good and useful reforms, for which
voted, he did his best to strengthen the Constitution.—
(Cheers.) So far from wishing to weaken the Constitu-
tion, he desired to see the Queen who reigned
over them sit on a throne more dignified and proud,
if possible, to-morrow than it was to-day.--(Cheers )
As to eccolesiastical affairs, he would say thus much,
that if the Government would give him an ecclesiastical
title, in less than six months he would work out many
strange and salutary reforms in the Church. He 'hould
in the next session of Parliament place no confidence
whatever in the present Administration, and though he
would not offer them any factious opposition, still, it they
attempted either to modify or abrogate the principle of
free trade as laid down by Sir R. Peel, he for one would
give his cordial support to a vote declaring want of con-
fidence in them.—(Hear,
hear.)
He thought the
time was not far distant when he would have
to appear again on the hustings, for it was
could
impossible that any Government remain long in
power which opposed the clearly expressed and deter-
mined will of the people. He trusted that the noble ex-
ample which Marylebone had set in relieving himseiftiltelici
