would have great difficulty in filling their
mouths.

to the Secretary for the Admiralty,
and ask him
what reduction he could make in •
his department,
and the answer would be that the WIC - •

suction e. m you make?" " Oh," says he, "we must.

come to the house and ask for money to send troops to
Ireland, but they would say "No ; we governed Ireland
for ten years with Out so „many troops, why should not
you ?" They would certainly not get the money.—(Ap-
plause, during which the Gallant Commodore took an-
odic r glass of wine, and again applied his -snuff-box
amidst loud laughter.) They would come to the House
of Commons for more taxes, and it was just possible that
he might know he would not get them, and tNat h,^ might
come forward and propose the free trade measures he had
so virulently opposed last Session. If he did so, tlren down
upun him would come all the sugar merchants, and all
that sort of fellows.—(Laughter.) It was just p ossiblo
that ILI might propose a property-tax, but it would be
morally impossible for him to carry that, for the mo ment
it was proposed to touch the pockets of the gentlemon of
the House of Commons, they buttoned them up and k e pt
them closed.—(Laughter.) Ten years ago the Whii
found the country in a state of commotion and lacers: -
diarism. The rural war was raging in Sussex, Kent,.
and other counties, and that created under the admini-
stration of the Duke of Wellington, of whom he alwayw
did speak, and always would speak with respect, because.
he knew him to.be an honest man • but in saying so, he,
must say that he was a most mistaken man as a Minister.
Where, he would ask, had been the disturbances in the
country during the power of the Whigs P He only
hoped that the Tories would be enabled to keep the
country in as quiet a state as they had done. He would,
however, say, along with his Hon. Colleague, if they`
proposed good measures, he, although bordering closely
upon a Radical, would give them his support. If they
brought forward any measures of coercion they would:
meet with an honourable agitation, which would make
` the first question which would be put to a candidate,
be—was he a supporter of the Ballot ?—(Loud
cht:crs.) He dared say they had all heard of a Long
and a .Rump Parliament. Now, he would designate
the pre,-mt one as the Bribery and Corruption and Inti-
midation 17:irliament.—(Loud cheers.) No election had
ever taken pi„-e in the three kingdoms in which so much
money had been ..thrown away in bribery. The const-
tuency of Mary
jeboi, had shown itself the most honest
and incorruptible of all t:.1.1e constituencies of England.--
(Cheers.) If their election ha,l come off sooner he had_
no doubt the example they had set would have been fol-
lowed in many places, and more especially in London.
With thanking them again for the .honour conferred
upon him he sat down amidst thunders of applause.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of .Ikressrs.
Drake and Ivimey, the Hon. Secretaries.
While the company were responding to the toast., the
gas was being lit ; some drapery hanging near was
blown upon the flame, and it took fire. Some alarm lvas
created, but it was luckily put out without mischief.
Mr. DRAKE returned thanks for the honour conferred
upon him, and assured the electors that his utmost err
ertions were at their service whenever they were re.
quired. He would not detain them, as Mr. Ivimey, who-
would follow hin:, had some pretty stories of the Torieg:
to lay before them. He returned his most sincero
thanks for the kind manner in which they had drank
his health. _ _

Mr. Ivimmr felt very proud of the honour conferred
upon him by the electors of Marylebone. He wasi.n,it
willing to detain them ; he would, therefore, merely read
a few sentences from their Report to the. Committee, to,
show the lies the Tories indulged in )---
" It has afforded your Committee some amusement it
reviewing the boastings of the Tories of this borough,.
which are chiefly to be found in their appropriate organ,
the Morning Herald newspaper. The result is likeari se,
useful in showing Reformers the folly of placing any re-
liance upon the future statements of the Tories."
On the 22d of October, 1839, we find the following no,-
dee in that paper :
"It appears from a very elaborate table of the recent-.
revision, drawn out by Mr. Rook, the Assistant-Secre-
tary to the Loyal and Constitutional Association of the
above borough, that the result of the revision is ex-
tremely favourable to the Conservative cause. On this year's
register there are 3,158 who voted for Lord Teignmouth,
and 2,900 for the Liberals, being a majority for his Lord-
ship of 258. Besides such majority it is to be observed
that a large number of Conservative voters has been re-
cently added to Paddington., In this parish, during th
last year, a great many of the • first-rate and respectable
houses, recently built, have got into rate, and it is well
known that of the occupants a decided majority are Con-
servative. The manner in which the registration, on till.,
part of the Conservatives, has been conducted, reflects
great credit upon the gentlemen to whose vigilant super-
intendence it is intrusted, viz., Mr. Gre,anwood, Secre-
tary of the Loyal and Constitutional Associi; tion."
Again, on the 12th of November, 1839, WO find the-
' following :
" St. Marylebone Loyal and ConstitutionA. Asso-
•

elation.
" To the indefatigable manner in which the mektibers
of this useful Asssociation have exerted themselves, .1s to
be attributed, in a great measure, to the successful isbne
of the registration in this large and important borough',..
The Conservatives were required to see that they were,
properly registered on an early day, and so promptly did.
they respond to the appeal of the Association, that if
another election should take place during the next year,
their real strength will be shown. Let the Conserva-
tives be on the alert, and the borough of Marylebone
ere long escape from the thraldom of Radical domination
under which it has so long suffered."
Again, on the 12th of December, 1839, we find the
following letter in the Times, from Mr. Greenwood, Se-
cretary to the Marylebone Loyal and Constitutional
Association

" Sir,—l have at this moment ascertained that the
agents canvassing signatures to the requisition to Mr.
Ewart are making use of the most gross untruths as an
inducement for individuals to sign, the principal of
which is that it is not the intention of Lord Teignmouth
to come forward again as a candidate for the representa-
tion of this borough. Now I have to request that you
will give this false statement an unqualified denial.
Lord Teignmouth will again come forward, and also
another Conservative with him, and when the time for
the fight arrives, I have no doubt the Radicals will expe-
rience a defeat which will astonish them."
In the Morning Herald of March 17, 1841, we find
the following (amongst other statements) in the Report,
of the Loyal and Constitutional Association. (This re-
fers to the present Register):—
" The Committee of Management, in making their
Sixth Annual Report, have much pleasure in congratu-
lating the members of the Loyal and Constitutional As-
sociation on the progressive increase of Conservatism in.
the borough.
" This great improvement is not only attributable to
the late erection of houses of a superior class within the
limits of the borough, and which are occupied by persons
of respectability, intelligence, and wealth, but mainly to
the great change in the opinion of a large portion of
the constituency, whose experience has shown them the
vast distinction between Whig and Radical promises anti
their fulfilment.
" The Committee beg to inform the members of the
Association, that during the six years of its existence,
the objections successfully made on the part of the Con-
servatives amount to 2,248, and the number of claims es-
tablished for persons whose names had been omitted by
the overseers, is 374, making a total in favour of die
Conservative interest of 2,6.22.
" The present register contains 11,570 electors, awl
of these, the number that voted for the Conservative ezei-
didate is 2,828 ; and of those who voted for both his op-
ponents, 2,601, thus leaving a Conservatill
majority et
227."
After congratulating them that theifr

Conservative Members in the event of a dissolutioon of
Parliament."
The Morning Herald, of the 22d of March last, in
noticing the Report of the Warren-street Association,
before mentioned, says, in speaking of it, " That a more
impudent and barefaced attempt to impose upon the
electors of the borough and public credulity, than is
evinced in it has, perhaps, never been known in the his-
tory of electioneering trickery. The Report then con-
fidently assures the constituency that at the next elec-
tion the borough will be relieved from the stigma which
now attaches to it, of being the only metropolitan consti-
tuency which returns a Tory," and concludes with the
following positive untruth :—" That their boast is not
an idle one, is proved by the fact that Lord Teignmouth,
already anticipating his defeat, has prudently announced
his intention of retiring from the borough."
Again, in the Herald of the 26th of March, the attack
upon the Report of the Warren-street Association, is
renewed in a long article. The following are extracts :
" To show the fallacy of the inference which the Whigs
desire to be drawn from the table, we may observe that
in Paddington the number now registered is 196 more
than in 1838, and this arises from the great number of
first rate houses erected in the most opulent parts of the
parish,. and the Whig Register Association know to
their cost that while the register in Paddington shows
an increase of 196 electors since 1838. The Liberal
ranks in that parish have at the same time been sadly
thinned by the pulling down of small cottages, inhabited
by the lower class of voters, who in too many instances
follow in the wake of a leading, especially if he be an
agitating, Radical Member. The cottages of these small
class voters have given place to the first-rate house.
alluded to above, the latter having, in fact, been built
upon the very ground formerly. occupied by those cot-
tages. In consequence of these improvements, the Con-
servative majority in that parish alone may be now put
down at least as 150, which will increase annually for
several years. In Christ Church where the Whig-Raili -
cals had a xnajority of seventy-one, the increase on the re-
