TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,--.
ADissolution of Parliament is at hand,- and
you will shot tly be called upon to exercise your most
valuable rir,hts as Freemen. Permit me on this occasion to
solicit your suffrages.

" Samuel

The son of a Member of Parliament, my attention has been
early directed to the science of politics, and I have there
learned to recognise the great principle of equal rights and
equal privileges. I there ore avow imself behlly, unhesita-
tingly, uncompromisingly, the advocate of Universal Suffrage,
which shall secure to every adalt male a right to vote in the
locality wherein he resides. The recognition of that right
I believe to be the best security for the rich, as it is the oi:ly
guarantee for the poor. lam decidedly opposed to the
New Poor-law Amendment Act—the principle which has been
avowed by its advocates, that no distinction shall be made be-
tween poverty, the effect of misfortune or the fruit of crime, I
detect as equally repugnant to the feelings of humanity and the
dictates of Christianity. The centralized authority of the
Poor-law Commissioners I look upon as unconstitutional—its
exercise as heartless and tyrannical. My best efforts, there-
fore, would he directed to its repeal, and a return to those,
principles which shall secure the benefits of the Act of Eliza-
beth without its abuses.
Having, atter obtaining the highest academical honours,
car efully studied in the three faculties of Law, Medicine, and
Theology, I venture to hope that my services might prove
useful upon the many questions connected with such subjects
as come before the Parliament.

Being a resident in your borough, its local interests will ne•
cessirily engag my best attention. Should you do me the
honour to elect me as your representative, I trust you will find
me active in business, unremitting in exertion, and unwearied
in application.
Neither hig nor Tory, it would be my proud boast to be
indeed and in truth the Representative of the People.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
WILLIAM VILLIERS SANKEY, M.A.
30, Harmood-street, June 15, 1841.

For Latin Essay.—" De Etruscorum cultu, kgibus, f t mo-
ribus, eorumque apud Romanos vestigiis." Benjamin Jowett,
Fellow of Baliol College.
Portions of the English poem were superior to thz! average
productions of this description. The Latin poem, which was
in very smooth hexameters, contained occasional and rather
marked reminiscences of Virgil. Many of the allusions to the
marvels of steam, which in its Latinized form of " vapor"
sounded un peu mesquin, were very felicitous. The poem con-
cluded with a rural picture, embodying the buco:ic image of a
herd of cattle drinking ; and the descriptive words--
.

" dulcemque bibunt a fluorine vitam,"
provoked a laugh by the obvious quiz which they suggested
upon that great modern rival of steam—teetotalism.
At the conclusion of the recital of the prize essays, his
Royal Highness and the Chancellor retired, amidst similar
plaudits to those which hailed their entrance, and were fol-
lowed by the heads of houses, and the noble and other dis-
tinguished visitors,upon which the theatre was speedily cleared.
His Royal Highness, attended by the members of his suite,
then proceeded to the Town .hall, for the purpose of receiving
addresses Vora the city and the county. His Royal Highness
was received at the door of the Town-hall by the Mayor, the
High Steward (his Grace the Duke of Marlborough), the
Aldermen of the City, the Members of the Common Council,
and the Town Clerk. Mr. Maclean, M.P. for the City, was
also present. The Town-hall was fitted up very tastefully
with banners, and a platform was constructed for the accom-
modation of 500 ladies, which was densely filled.
His Royal Highness was conducted to the Council Cham-
ber, when, having taken his seat upon a chair of honour, he
was pleased to receive an address, which was read by the Town
Clerk, to which the Prince made a suitable reply.
Sir. J. LOVELEY; High Sheriff, then read to his Royal
Highness an address from the county of Oxford, to which his
Royal Highness was pleased to return a suitable reply.
'The foregoing address was agreed to at a meetini, of the
nobility, clergy, and gentry, which took place on Trrday last
at the Star Hotel, for the ;purpose of voting an address to his
Royal Highness, and at which the chair was taken by the
High Sheriff, who called the meeting in pursuance of a. requi-
sition which he had previously received. The address was pro.
posed by his • Grace the Duke of Marlborough, seconded by
Lord Churchill, and carried unanimously.
Immediately after the presentation of these eddresses, the
Prince proceeded to St. John's College, where a sumptuous
entertainment was served up in the hall, at which all the
heads of houses and many of the other dist:nguithed visitors
were present.
His Royal Highness, attended by his Once the Chancellor,
and the heads of houses, then proceeded to visit the chief ob-
jects of attraction in the University, the Bodleian library,
Christ's Church, the University printing-office, Dr. Buck-
land's Museum, &c. At four o'clock his Roi al Ilighwess at-
tended Divine service in the beautiful chapel of New Hall,
the most elegant ecclesiastical edifice in Oxford, where sixteen
choristers executed the appropriate Church music with admi-
rable precision and beauty. At five o'clock precisely his Royal
Highness returned to Nuneham to dinner, loudly cheered by
the numerous spectators, and escorted as before by the Oxford.
shire Yeomanry Cavalry.
In about half an hour afterwards his Grace the Duke of
Wellington set out (as we understood) for Blenheim, the seat
of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, which it is his Royal
Highness's intention to visit this day, and return in the evening
to Nuneham.
