MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Nothing but the most infatuated remissness on the part of
the now united Reformers of this borough (in neglecting as
usual to come early to the poll) can possibly prevent the re-
turn of Sir Benjamin Hall and Sir Charles Napier by a Tact
majority. It is rumoured this day that Sir James Hamilton
will positively retire, and we hear it (almost directly) from the
Tory Committee that they know they have no chance.
Notwithstanding their absolute despair of success, the work
of inti'ridation is still carried on with the most flagrant tyranny
and insolence. A man of the name of Roberts, who keeps a
druggist's shop in Portland Town, called yesterday; in company
with Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Cabbell, at the house of a
respectable elector, Mr. Richard Kemp, of William-street,
Portland To en, to use the " doctor's " influence in procuring
for the Tories that well-known Reformer's vote. Mr. Kemp
was from home, but his son answered to the solicitation that
his father would " rote according to his conscience." To this
perfectly unexceptionable reply, the " doctor " replied, " Oh,
very well ; but you'll recollect he owes me ten pounds !"
We have received the following from a most respectable
elector of Christ Church :

" When thou doest thine alms sound not a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do."
"An analysis of the unparalleled liberality of Mr. Bond
Cabbell, for the advancement of religion, the circulation of the
Scriptures, and the conversion of the world, as printed and cir-
culated amongst the electors of the boraigh of Marylebone.
"In looking at the long list of benefactions (of which it is
asserted he was only trustee) I find them classified in due order.
" However, passing over the tedious and pompous enumera-
tion in which he shines, we arrive at the last division of his
truly pious benevolence, headed, Religious Societie,,,' and we
find, on looking at it, th :t the whole amount of his self denying
exertions for the glory of Go and the salvation of sinners, is
just 631. sterling, divided among five societies of rather secta-
rian character.

" I suppose Mr. Bond Cabbell to have attained the moderate
age of three score years, and it is by no means unreasonable in
the nature of things to imagine that the first twenty years of
his l:fe was not marked by many acts of Christian phi'anthropy.
" At the age of twenty we date the fling of this blazing
meteor of the first magnitude in Christian liberality, and trace
it through its splendid orbit in eur northern constitution for
forty long years.
" And what do we find he has done in that long space of
time, for the spiritual wellfare of his fellow-creatures,?—hear it
—be astounded—but the truth must be told, he has generously
-nd powly, too, subscribed four farthings and one quarter of a
farthing per diem—marvellous—lid. per week for the conver-
sion of souls at home and abroad, while he has given hundreds
(see printed list) to support theatres and playhouses, those sinks
of dissipation and immorality, in our metropolis ; and this
brother electors, is the man that talks about the fear of God
and the value of souls. What cant I Why the veriest child in
our Sabbath Schools gives more out of toe depths of its po-
verty for the best interest of mankind than this would-be levia •
than of alms-giving out of his overflowing abundance.
"A RESIDENT ELECTOR."
