Gs NTLEx.r.N,
AS a Dissolution of Parliament must soon rake
place, I again offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the
honour of representing thi4Morough.
When I presented myself to you in 1837, I fully explained
what my political opinions were. I referred to my votes in
favour of an extension of the suffrage, shortening the duration
of Parliaments, freedom of voting, and the repeal of those
clauses in the Reform Act which diminish the elective fran-
chise. I stated also that I had supported the repeal of the
window tax, a reduction of the public expenditure, the aboli-
tion of Church .rates, and a liberal .3stem of education for the
people. I have upheld these opinions dur.ng the ten velrs
that..l have sat in the House of Commons, and I still adhere
to them.

There are now other important subjects which occupy public
attention, I allude to those great questions of Commercial Re-
form, especially the repeal of the Corn-laws, for which (al-
though a landowner) I have invariably voted, and which, not-
withstanding the present temporary obstruction, must even-
tually be attained.

Since I have had the honour of representing this important
Borough, I have done my utmost to secure to you the conti-
nuance of those local acts which place the government of the
parishes in the hands of the rate-payers, free from any inter•
ference of the Poor-law Commissioners, whose continuance in
office I still consider as unnecessary, and whose rules and re-
gulations have been too .often marked with severity and injus-
tice. In conducting the local affairs of this great portion of
the Metropolis, I have frequently had the satisfaction of receiv-
ing the thanks of the inhabitants, ard I now come forward as a
Candidate for your continued support, in the full and entire
belief, that as my conduct upon public measures has remained
unchanged, I shall again receive the honour of your suffrages,
and occupy that distinguished position at the close of the en-
suing Election, which I held at the termination of the contest
in 1837.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
65, Wimpole-street, June 5, 1841. B. HALL.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BUHOUGH OF

MARYLEBONE.

GENTLEMEN, -----
HAVE attended Thirteen Public Meetings
_IL in the different Districts of your Borough, and in all
have met with the most enthusiastic reception from the
Electors. Attempts, as you well know, have been made by
small bands to create disturbances; but they have signa:ly
failed. Advertisements have been put 'in the newspapers to
mislead the Electors, which have met with the contempt they
deserve ; nevertheless a section of Reformers continue to di-
vide the Liberal interest. It is my intention to hold a General
Public Meeting of the Reformers of this Borough early in
the next week, at the Theatre of the Colosseum, when I trust
I shall meet my supporters in such numbers as will at once
show whom they wish to be their Representative.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES NAPIER.
67, Baker-street, June 11, 1841.
