consisting of more than 1,203 electors. Having this treble

as Englishmen, 'ilsie'riect en the present occasion
from tles esl"at objet they had in view by the few strips of
';isallited calico they saw clisplayed by the friends of the Noble
Lord and those of his HAI. opponent Mr. Hall; on ettth
side of the hustings. He nein a paltry dis-
play az an unnortby 'vicious means of attracting a few
idle eeteseeee( Hisses and booting.) Ott the broad political
grounds already mentioned by him he stood forward, and he
thought th it by taking up such g-crands he sheeld reptesent
the wishes of the majority of the
stteferreefs of the borough of
Marylebone.—( !soul efiel of " NJ, no.") He. was sure that
thee !setter lila' duty ton well to allow the Noble Lord, a
l'eure3entatire of Tory feelings, to succeed, or to allow a
stranger to sow disunion among them. Confident that the
state of the poll to-morrow afternonn would show that the
result of the contest was ha his favour, he would add nothing
mere, but aleiply and respectfully bid them farewell.--(Par
tlal cheering%)
Mr. HALL then came to the front of the hustings, and amid
very general cheering told the gentlemen and the electors of
the borough Is It he appeared More them as a candidate for
the honoar of representing them, and in consequence of a re-
treisition that had been placed in his hands most numerously
and respectably signed by his brother clectors,—( Cheers-) It
had been said by some that he had intruded himself upon the
notice of the electors of the boreugh—( Cries of " No," and
"Yes I")—and that he had come for the purpose of creat-
ing disunion among the Reformers. If any blame was
to be attributed to any one, it was not to be attached to him,
but to those electors who bad signed the requisition which he
had just alluded to. He was satisfied that the result of to-
morrow's poll would place him in a large majority, and would
prove to his epdonents that he was fully warranted in coming
forward on the present occasion. He was riot one of those
who issued addresses and afterwards swerved from them. They
were now called upon to assert their own independence, and
show themselves worthy of the franchise that had been en-
trusted to them. lie would s:e, as little as possible of the op-
posing candidates, but will regard to the gentleman who had
last spoken, he would defy him to come forward backed only
by his own pretensions, because he felt confident the result
would be the same as it had been on two former occasions.
He had thrown himself upon the support of a man who had
formerly fought their battles, and he relied upon the assis-
tance of a Gas Company.—(Groans, hisses, and uproar.)
He (Mr. Hall) rested his pretensions to their future support
upon his public conduct in past Parliaments, and be should
go to-morrow to the poll with the full confidence that he should
be triumphantly returned.—( Great cheering.)
Lord TEIGNMOUTII then came forward; but the cheering
from his own adherents and the hootings and hissing: of the
opposing parties, prevented him from uttering a single word
for several minutes. He said they gave the other candidates
a patient hearing, and he entreated of them to give him
one.--(Loud cheers and groans, and great confusion.)
He had come forward, not at his own seeking, but in Conse-
quence of a requisition made to him by a considerable and re-
epectable bcdy of his supporters. They had selected him be-
cause he had lived among them from his early youth—because
he was an independent man, wholly unconnected with any
other party, and because it was his determined object to main-
tain the Constitution in Church and. State, and to accomplish
all sound and practical and efficient reform;.—(Cheers and
uproar.) These were his objects, and with God's blessing he
would pursue them steadfastly, manfully, and resolutely. The
other candidates who had addressed them had pretended in some
degree to the exclusive character of reformers. He (Lord T.)
was also a reformer. But not by means of introducing organic
changes into the constitution, but for the purpose of effecting
sound, practical, and efficient reforms.—Cheers ) He wished
to eradicate long abuse and that man was the enemy of reform
who endeavoured to thrust on them measures calculated to
subvert the throne—destroy the claurch—render the House of
Lords an assembly for the mere purpose of registering the
decrees of the people, and to abolish the independence of the
House of Commons, by rooting up its very constituency which
had been created by the new reform bill, as it had
bean called, and the object of which was to overthrow
that constituency, and to bury the new constituency under the
wide-spread ruins of democracy._—( Great uproar and hissing.)
It was with those feelings he came before them that day.
Their borough had been long in the trammels of a faction,
and ,had been rendered subservient to the decrees of an Irish
demagogue.—(Groaning and hissing ) It was for them to
rescue that Constitution in Church and State, and their bo-
rough from the subjection to which it was reduced. To-mor-
row was the day of election, and to-morrow evening would be
the era of their emancipetion. God grant it might be so.
To the poll w:t's them every man, and by God's blessing
they would be successful. The Noble Lord concluded
amid tremendous cheering from his own party, in which he
heartily joined.
A show of hands was then demanded by the returning officer,
when their appeared for Sir S. Whaley nearly three-fourths
of the meeting; for Sir Wm. Horne about five or six hands;
for Mr. Young about half the meeting : for Mr. Hall
about two-thirds; and for Lord Tcignmouth about two.
The IZETURNINO OFFICER then declared the election, by
show of hands, to have fallen upon Sir Samuel Whalley and
Benjamin Hall, Esq.
The announcement was received with immense cheers, to
which the Blues, who were by this time pushed far away from
the front of the hustings, endeavoured to respond by yells and
groans

Air. Hera. then addressed the meeting from the hustings,
bat the tumult of cheers from his own party, and of groans
from the opposing portion of the Reformers who were nume-
rous near the place from which he spoke, prevented our hearing
a word. The band of the Blues coming up to the front of thee
hustings at this time, was of itself sufficient to drown the voice
of the most stentorian speaker. The tumult subsided for a
few seconds, whilst

Ti e RETURNING OFFICER announced that a poll was de-
manded on the part of Sir Win. Thorne, G. A. Young, Esq.
and Lord Teignmouth.
This announcement was received with mingled groans and
Cheers from amongst the Liberals; and shouts of triumph
from the Biues, which the ladies, crowded on the surrounding
balconie-, seemed to express their sympathies by waving their
handkerchiefs, &p.
Strt &SHIM. WHALLEY and Mr. Ham, then returned
thanks.

The other candidates also addressed the meeting, and each
expresied entire confidence in the result of the poll.
The friends of the several candidates then moved off in

their respective processions, and with a degree of order,
hich the occurrences of the day would not have led U 3 to

them all, and be woe sure that they would again place Mr.
Duncombe at the head of the pull. Ile would conclude 1),
proposing Mr. Duncombe as a fit and proper person to repre-
sent the people of Finsbury in Parliament.—( Loud cheers.)
Wm. IlrwerT, Esq., seconded the nomination of Mr.
Puncembe, Mr. Perceval thotight he bed so:ne chance, but
he *mild tell him that if he fancied that promulgating slanders
in Finsbury against any candidate would do him any good, he
would find himself much mistaken, because those slanders
would tell most damnably against their opponents. Mr. Per
ceval discl-imcd any knowledge of those disgraceful slanders
issued against his friend Mr. Duncombe. 110 was willing
to believe Mr. Perceval to be an honourable man, but he had
fallen into the hands of a strange party. The excuse of the
Tories for not bringing forward a candidate before, was that
they wanted one with more money than wit. He supposed
they had now found one—(lnerettaed laughter)—but he trusted
the electors of Finsbury would now, as they hitherto done,
place Mr. Duncombe at the head of the poll.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. SMITH came forward and proposed Thomas Wakley,
Esq. In doing so he observed, that on the last occasion of
the same kind the Hon. Candidate was an untried man.
He (Mr. Smith) then stated if Mr. Wakley were sent to
Parliament he would be found a true man—a working and
efficient Member.—( Cheers.) Had he deceived the con-
stituency of Finsbury?—(Cries of " No, no.") Send the
Hon. Gentleman then to Parliament fur you again.—(" We
will.") By so doiug the electors would be serving them-
selves more than Mr. Wakley. The Liberal party were cer-
tain of success, and to-morrow would show it by the rejection
of the candidate put forward by a despicable Tory junta.—
( Cheers.) Let your watchwords, Gentlemen of Finsbury, be
" Walsley for ever," " The Queen and liberty."—(Great
cheering.)
Mr. CANT seconded the nomination without any observation.
Mr. Beascuann came forward to propose Mr. Perceval,
and was received with immense groaning. Mr. Wakley hav-
ing interfered and obtained a hearing, Mr. Blanchard pro-
ceeded to say that he entertained the highest respect for the
private characters of his opponents, but he was opposed to
their public conduct.--( Great cheering.) The course pursued
by their late Members was destructive of the monarchy.—
(Oh, oh.) There was now a motion on the books of the House
of Commons to set aside the direct line of the succession to
the Crown.—(Oh, oh.) As the poet said—( Immense laugh-
ter. We only heard the words " treaty," " but one
line," with much confusion.) He took for granted that
he was addressing Protestants. Would they consent to see
the Established Church overturned ?—( Loud groaning.) He
called upon them to send a man to Parliament who would
'support the poor man's Church.—( Immense groaning, which
drowned every word that fell from the Hon. Gentleman for
some time.) He concluded by proposing W. Perceval in
dumb show.—(lmmense groaning.)
DANIEL CLIFTON, Esq., came forward, and was received
with deafening groaning. Mr. Clifton vainly attempted to
make himself heard. After long but ineffectual efforts, he
concluded by seconding the nomination of Mr. Perceval.
Mr. DUNCOMDE then came forward with much cheering,
and said—Electors of the borough of Finsbury, I hold in my
hand the remains of a placard asking every person in the me-
tropolis " Where is Tommy Duncombe." The meaning of
this query is obvious—it was intended to cast obloquy on my
private character. With respect to the query, however, there
never was, nor is there now, the slightest mystery.—
(Cheers.) He was sorry to say that there was a great
mystery as to the author of it.—( Hisses, Murmurs, and
cheers.) Gentlemen, I know Mr. Perceval my opponent, or
rather, I should say, the opponent of the liberal and inde-
pendent constituency of this great borough : that gentleman
has assured me, upon his honour, that neither he nor any of
his Committee had any hand in the propagation of the scan-
dalous and infamous falsehoods put forward. I have said I
kuow Mr. Perceval—l know his family, gentlemen—( Laughter,
and cries of "So do we.") It was an honourable family—
( Ironical cries of " No doubt of it," " How are they off for
pensions ?")—and we arc bound to believe their word
of denial. No more on this point, however, at present :
this is the day of refutation, to-morrow will be that
of retribution—( Cheers ;)—and I have no doubt that the
electors of this borough will uphold this independent
character, as they have done from the beginning, and return
my Hon. Friend Thomas Wakley, 'Esq. and myself, and thus
negative the calumnies which the faction had recourse to.—
(Cheers.) I have this day received a- letter from an indivi-
dual signed Daniel.—( Groans ) In a Court of Justice, Gen-
tlemen, this individual shall answer for that infamous and scan-
dalous publication—[pointing his finger to theindividual on the
platform who avowed himself the author of the letter, Mr.
Duncombe observed with great emphasisj—it is only necessary
for me, in the mean time, to denounce him as a slanderer and
a liar, and a coward. There could be no mistake in that lan-
guage.—(Cheers. )
Mr. DANIEL—My witnesses are here.—(Continued groans
and hisses.)
Mr. DUNCOMBE—Novr, gentlemen, having disposed of the
personal slander
Mr. DANIEL and several of his friends—" No, they are not
disposed of."—(lmmense hooting and groaning, which lasted
for some minutes.)
Mr. DUNCOMBE—This was an open field, and he was sorry
there were not more Tory candidates in the field upon this
occasion.—( Cheers and laughter.) He had told them before
that Mr. Perceval was a gentleman who was to be believed on
his word; he found no fault with him for the opposition. Ha
met him here on public principle alone, and upon the sentiments
that that address contained. He would not descend to any
personal or private slander towards any individual—( Cheers)
—,ind he only regretted that Mr. Perceval should have upon
his Committee those who would condescend to endeavour to
beat them by foul means ; and he could only say, th it if there
was such an individual on his Committee as that man Daniel__
if he were even in the capacity of a messenger, he would have
him kicked out of the room.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Perceval
came before them, from his address, evidently on what might
be generally styled " an out-and-out Tory, and- no mistake."
—( Cheers.) He came forward on the real Hanoverian princi-
ple, and was a mo't respectable joint of the Cumberland tail.
Mr. Perceval told them that the name he bore was a sufficient
guarantee of his political principles. He could only say that
the name of Perceval had always been opposed to what he
(Mr. D. considered the promotion of the liberties of the
people. He wanted to know if he, bearing the name of Per-
ceval during the passing of the Reform Bill would have voted
for the enfranchisement of the borough of Finsbury ?—( Cries
of " No, that he would not.) He hoped they would ask him
the question whether he would have voted for that measure
which enabled the electors of Finsbury to appear there , n
Islington green for the purpose of exercising those great privi-
leges which Englishmen possessed by the elective franchise.
If lie would not, then lie had no right to come to them and
try to avail himself of that Which others had bestowed on
them, and to tell them that those who served them faithfully,
as Mr. Wakely had done,—(loud cheering),--that they
were men devoted to the support of every ruinous inno-
vation and of any desperate attempt to destroy the Constitution.
(An individual in the crowd here held up a board, on which
was pasted the state of the poll iii the city, showing a great
majority for the Reform candidates, wlich was received with

enthusiastic cheering.) Well may you, continued the
Gentleman, cheer that announcement. It shows the freemen

of the city of London are doing their duty to the Liberal
cause. It is a duty which I know you will equally perform to
your country to-morrow, and place in a triumphant position
Mr. Wakley and myself. —( Loud cheers.) Would Mr. Perceval
vote for the revision of the Pension List, of which he forms
such a bright ornament? Would he vote for the measure for
the abolition of Church-rates, a rurasure which no one at all

attached to the peace and welfare of the country would vote
against? That was a measure calculated to promote peace
and good will, and it was their duty to ask him whether he
would give his strenuous support to that measure, because he
knew a vast majority of the electors of Finsbury were in fa-
vour of that great and healing. measure.—( Cheers.) Gentle-
men, I am sorry I have detained you_too long.—(Cries of
" No, no.") I can only tell you, as I said before, that when-
ever a majority of those who voted for me shall say I have
betrayed the trust they have confided in me, and shall call
on me to resign the trust to them, I shall be most happy to
return it, feeling, as I do, that if I cannot hold it with honour
and satisfaction to you, such a trust is not worthy
of retaining for a moment. The Hon. Gentleman then re-
ttiorernditaeirf
amidstsling the most enthusiastic cheering.
Mr. DANIEL then presented himsel for the purpose of ad-
dressing the electors, evidently labouring under considerable
excitement, but was greeted with such a tremendous burst of
grdans, and hisses, that he was obliged to withdraw,
amidst cries of " Throw him over here, Duncombe, and we
will pay him for his slander."
Mr. WAKLEY then mounted the hustings, and was received
with immense cheering. He said—Electors of Finsbury,
after a storm, they say, comes a calm.—( Laughter.) Now
come before you in the best imaginable temper—l have no-
thing to complain of.—(Renewed laughter.) I have no phial
to discharge, and if I deliver presently a few hard hits the
gloves will be on; no blood will be drawn, and I hope we
shall end the day, as we have bs.gan it, without enter-
taining any ill feeling towards one another.__( Hear, hear,
and loud cheers.) Attacks in these contests, in my
opinion, are most unjustifiably made upon private cir-
cumstances and private character, but I never refuse any man
the pleasure, the delight, or the gratification of his task.— i
(Cheers and laughter.) If he desires to inquire into my pri-
vate character I will furnish him with any means in my power
of doing so to his heart's content.--( Cheers.) Twenty years
ago I came into London a farmer's son.—( Loud cheering. )
I was one of the people. As one of the people I have worked
my way into the Senate, and let those turn me out who can.—
( Loud checrs.) I have got some hard muscles and bones here.

was about to ask who is my opponent, Mr. itereetal 7 He
is a young Tory, whose father, in conjunction with Castle.,

But what the deuce ttaz Mr, Perceval three years ego, only

was then a clerk in the Teller of the Exchequers 0111ce,
there was no mincing the matter.—( Hear, and cheers.) And
who was the Teller pray ? Why his brother, Mr. Spencer
Perceval, enjoying a salary of 2,709/.- a year for doing
nothing, so that both of them had their hands le the pocket
of the country. But, gentlemen, Ministers had abolished the
effice of Spenser, and he had been going about ever since,
talking in an unknown tongue.—(lmmense laughter.) The
Ministry did not get rid of him, however, till he had applied
for compensation for the patronage attached to the office in
which he did nothing.—( Here the lion. Gentleman wag Inters
rupted by some one on the hustings, who appeared to deny the
latter assertion.) Well, Mr. Perceval informs me lam wrong
to prove that lam right. I will, if I have the honour of being
returned to Parliament by you, on the very &et occasion, ap-
ply for a copy of a letter adressed by Mr. Perceval on that oc-
casion to the Treasury.—(Hcar, hear.) I merely mention
these facts to let you know what is the character of the indivi-
dual who now opposes me and my Hon. Colleague. I merely
mention them to show the unadulterated and tsnalloyed character
of the Tory, whose family at the present moment receive an-
nually of the public money the sum of 5,300/. I should like
to know how this young gentleman will look in Parliament
during a discussion on the Pension-list ; but, oh I he will never
get there.—( Laughter.) Since I have been in the House of
Commons, I have endeavoured to do my duty fearlessly,
without reference to party.—(Cheers.) I ask, if I have
voted upon any question in opposition to the wishes
to those who sent me to Parliament, I voted for the present
Speaker in opposition to the last, and I would have voted fur
any other in opposition to him, not that I consider he had the
power in part, as it was alleged, of turning out Lord Ggray'e
government. I voted against him because he had beeriloo
long in connection with the Tories.---(Hear, hear.) I am,
gentlemen, a strenuous advocate for the liberty of the press.
I do not object to editors of newspapers making whatever
remarks they please of my public conduct, but I do object to
the practice of certain persons connected with the Press, who
purposely and intentionally perverted the speeches which I
made in the House of Commons and cleewhere. Such indi-
viduals ought to be kicked out of civil society; but let me be
understood--I do not use the words literally, nor do I impute
blame personally to the reporters—they were under the
influence of others. The Hon. Gentleman here complained
of the conduct of the " Times" Journal, and of the " Morning
Herald," which was even worse, with respect to a report of a
meeting held at the Belvedere Tavern—a report, so far as
those two Journals were concerned, which was composed of
the most foul, base, and black-hearted misrepresentations ; and
he had to complain of similar conduct, at a still more recent
meeting at the White Conduit-house. He spoke on that oc-
casion in favour of the Established Church. lie had been
brought up in a country village where all was parent kindness
between the pastor and people, consequently he had spoken of
the church, as his had found it in hie own native village. But
he had always declared himself a supporter of the church al-
though he had been taunted with being an atheist, an infidel
and one who wished to pull down the church. But on another
important point there were only two morning papers which sup-
ported the liberal cause, namely the Morninyildvertiscr and the
Morning Chronicle but those were insufficient effectually
to support the interests of the Reformers.—(Hear, hear.)
The Liberal constituency of Finsbury ought therefore to
establish a paper of their own, under the title of the anti-lying
Press Society.—( Laughter.) Let it only he supported, and
let Reformers agree neither to purchase nor read a pa-
per which received the advertisements of the Tories—
and further, not to deal with any person who adver-
tised with the Tinteg, and further, not to enter
the houses of those who supported it.—( Hear.) The lion.
Gentleman concluded by stating that the mast incompetent
speaker in the House, if he happened to be a Minister, was
reported at full length when it touched a particular purpose,
while representations such as his Honourable Colleague and
himself were disposed of in a very few sentences.—( Hear.)
Until there was an equalisation of suffrage, all Reform would
be humbug.—(Cheers.) Since he had been their Reprezen-
tatiye his only object had been to farther the interests of the
electors, and it gave him the most heartfelt satisfaction to find

that his conduct met %sitli their approbation, and especially
the part he took causing the Dorchester labourers to be li-
berated.—(lmmense cheering.) But there were only four out
of 280 Tories in the House of Commons who could find it in

their hearts to vote for a motion for the calling back those
unfortunate and injured men to their homes.—( Shame, shame. )
He thanked them for the patience with which they had heard
him.—(A cry of " We thank you for what you have said.")
It was not for individuals they were struggling on this occa-
sion, but for the great cause of national libarty.—(Cheers.)
He homed they would c)nsider his Hon. Colleague (Mr.
Duncombe) and himself as inseparable in their cause, .and
make such a demonstration to the Tories as would show
that they were determination to support their youthful
and endeared Queen, and firmly resolved to carry out
every necessary and beneficial reform, and that no squeamish
measures would satisfy them. lie trusted also they would
convince the people of Ireland they were not bigots, and that
they would not cease exerting themselves till they obtained a
triumphant and everlasting victory. (The lion. Gentleman
retired amidst loud and long-continued cheers.)
Mr. PERCEVAL then came forward, and the yella and groans
were immediately raised to such a pitch that it was almost im-
possible for an individual who even stood by the side of him to
hear what full from his lips. When the tumult had in some
