day. Around the hustings hundreds were collected at
_ an-early hour, and in every street leading •o Portland-
place crowds might be seen hurrying to the scene of
action.
Poor Marylebone—
`• Deserted at her utmost need,"
Ira".

"By those her former bounty fed,"
but by her favourite son, she hss now the arduous task
tei perform of quelling it she can the insubordinate dis-
position of those children who claim her maternity, and
who, for the sake of their own ends, care not what be-
comes of their guiltless but toc confiding parent. Mary-
kebone may truly now exclaim —" I was ushered into the
world as a Liberal by my parent, the Reform Bill.
As such, I have continued during my whole
life, but now my own undutiful offspring are endeavour-
ing to hurl me into the vortex of Protectionism,
Toryism, and Conservatism by their own toolish acts,
and their want of unity of action.
Sir James Hamilton arrived shortly before three
o'clock, and was met with cheers, hisses, and waving of
handkerchiefs, especially from the ladies.
_ Sir B. Hall arrived next, and was loudly cheered. The
:worthy Baronet was accompanied by several hundreds of
his supporters on foot.
Mr. R. Owen, in presenting himself on the hustings,
'was met with cries of " Labour for ever," "Down with
all aristocrats."
Mr. Sergeant Shee took his place on the hustings
without the least demonstration of his appearance by the
electors.
. Lord Dudley Stuart's appearance on the hustings was
greatly cheered.
The accommodations for the press were wretched in
the extreme. We have often had, and that with plea-
sure, to return our thanks to Mr. Salomons for his atten-
tion to the comforts of the press, but on this occasion the
less we say about him the better. We were obliged to stand
during the whole time in front of the hustings, and take
notes how we could. Every one seemed accommodated
but the press, without whose aid the whole
Proceedings, as far as the addresses of the can-
didates were concerned, would have become a nullity.
For our part our readers mast excuse us if we only give
an outline of the proceedings, the accommodation afforded
us leaving no other alternative.
We understand that the hustings cost 1501. more
than on the last occasion, and we unhesitatingly pro-
nounce they were 1501. worse.
The usual legal proceedings having been gone through,
DAVID Saeomosts; Esq., entreated a patient hearing
for all parties.
Mr. HovENDEN then came forward to propose Sir
Benjamin Hall as a tit and proper representative for
Marylebone in Parliament; but we are sorry to say his
speech was repeatedly interrupted by the carpenters is
attempting to make the hustings stronger, and remedy
the blunder they have had a week to consider.
After the hammer had ceased to resound,
and the safety of her Majesty's lieges had
been in some measure secured, Mr. Hovenden pro-
ceeded; but he was again interrupted by the exhibition
of a dead cat, stuck on a placard, with the words " Be-
ware of the Savages there.' The Hon, Gentleman con-
chided, amid loud uproar, by proposing Sir B. Hall as a
fit and proper person to represent Marylebone in
Parliament.
Mr. SMART seconded the nomination of Sir B. Hall.
Mr. KEMSHEAD then came forward, amid the greatest
uproar, to propose Sir J. H 'mitten. We could not
catch a single word that was uttered by this gentleman.
Mr. C. HYDE seconded the nomination of Sir J. Ha-
milton amid greater uproar.
Mr. Joust WOOD then came forward to propose Mr.
Sergeant Shee. They were calls 4:1 upon to return two
Members to Parliament. Marylebone had al wys done
its duty, and returned two Liberal Members, and
be had no doubt it would do it again. They
bad been deserted disgracsfully by one man, but the
gentlemen he proposed would never adopt so infamous a
eettes,—(Cheeis.) As a Chuicemen from his cradle,
he conscientiously beieved lost Mr. Sergeant Shee
ought to be the man of their ehsice, although he was a
Catholic.—(Gheers.)
Mr. BRAM WALL seconded the nomination of Mr.
Sergeant Shee.
Mr. GEORGE DANIELS then came forward to propose
Lord Dudley Stuart, aud was moss enthusiastically
cheered.
Mr. CASSELL seconded the nomination of Lord Dudley
Stuart. He could not believe that the borough of Mary-
'shone could ever do otherwise then return two Liberal
candidates to Parliament.
Mr. Lova JONES. proposed Mr. Robert Owen, as a
fit and proper person to represent the borough of
Marylebone in Parliament. The gentleman whom
he bad the honour of proposing had been lung
well known to the British public, and had never shrunk
from a full and explicit dec4tration of his principles—
principles which he believed calculated to promote the
'best interests of the public. He was the originator of
the infant school system and of the agitation for the
reduction of the hours of labour in factories, and had
constantly devoted nis labours and fortune to the in-
terests of the working classes of this country.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the nomination.
Sir B. HALL then stood forward, and was received
with considerable cheering. He might, he believed,
rely upon the endeavours of the electors of that borough
to again return him as their representative to the Com-
mons House of Parliament. When he was first elected
it was on the principles that he had never
ceased to maintain and promote to the
utmost of his power ; he had never broken any of the
pledges which he had made to his constituents.—(A
voice "Go along with Whittle Harvey.") It was un-
necessary for him to detain them at any length, his
principles being already well known, and he confidently
looked to the result of the poll to-morrow to return him
again as their Member.
Sir Jaates HAMILTON next came forward, and his
doing so was the signal for the commencement of a storm
of cheers and hisses.' Silence being partially restored,
be endeavoured to obtain a hearing for himself. All that
We were able to collect of his remarks was, that
be had come forward at the earnest solicitation
of a large number of the electors of the
borough ; that he was confident that the result of
the poll to-morrow would be to place him in a majority,
and to return him as their representative. It
he was returned he would constantly make it his en-
deavour to discharge his duties as their repre-
sentative, and he would be always accessible to the
electors on every subject upon which they might wish to
consul: him. If they did nut return him, all that he
could say was, that he would look blue, which was his
own colour.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE said his principles were pretty
well known, and he thought they were such as wouls
induce them to give him a plumper. He was in favour
of vote by ballot, and tor the more general diffusion o.
education; on the great question of endowments he ha,
stuck to his text, and he had never changed his opinion,
or expressions for the sake of gaining a few votes upon
his Hon. Candidate; and affirmed that he would go to th.
poll, notwithstanding the ap"stacy of Mr. 1). W. Harvey
With respect to Sir B. Hall, he might say, that as long a
be stood there theyµ ere in pleasant company. With r.--
apect so Lord Dudley Stuart he would speak in the toe
of expostulation. Whose fault was it that the Liberal into
rest is divided? He came first into the field.—(Cheer,,.'
He taught him a grand political lessen, and he cam.
here in tne eleventh hour to oppose him. lie agree
that a ballot should take place, and fie asked the Nobl
Lord whether he would assert that the person standint
second was to be bound by the tssult? He went into the
country to attend the assizes, and on the Fri
day, when Mr. Harvey had ran away—(Groans)--
on his return to town he found a cool letter from the ,
Noble Lord requesting him to retire. From this time Ii
made up his mind that only one lawyer shout-
desert the constituency ; and he. felt, that no-
withstanding those prejudices which had been fosterer'
against him on account of his religion—pre 1*
which the Noble Lord would despise---he should.jui
succeed in coming in at the head of teepull.
lie was resolved to go to the poll, and show to tt,*
electors that resignation was not one of the virtues
Sergeant Shea. He felt convinced that what the elector.
Of this borough wanted was not persons who merely held
the same principles as they did, but persons whu couli
give . expression to those opinions in iii
House of Commons. As Sheridan said lons
since, "it was no use for a man to have the
• thing' in him if he was not able to get it out
when he wanted," He would, iu conclusion, assure the
electors of Marylebone that he would never give in, and
it was for them to decide with whom should be the vic-
tory, and woe to those parties who had promised hire
their votes but refused to keep their pledges. The
Learned Gentleman retired amid loud cheers, and was
followed by
Lord.DUDLEY STUART, who said, his learned opponent
had a very strong voice,
ao fondly but perhaps it might not sound
to-morrow..—(Laughter) He stood before
the constituency as a tried and staunch Reformer;
and one of the grand aims of his life had been to '
avoid dividing the Liberal interest. He had
freely consented to abide by
let, and had Mr. D. Ws. the reeult of bat-
of the
evey stood, in obedience
to the expressed
electors, he (Lord D.
Stuart) would never for a momentt have

Mr. ROBERT OWEN next proceeded to address the

Mr. A SALOMONS proceeded to take a show of hands
for the various candidates, and declared, as the result,
• that the election, by nomination, had fallen upon Sir
Benjamin Hell and Lord Dudley Stuart. —The result
was received with loud cheers.
A poll was demanded on behalf of the other candidates.

Jinx 2g.—The friends of the late Members for this
borough congratulated themselves almost up to the last
moment that there would be no serious opposition to
their re-election. By the particulars detailed below it
will be seen that they were doomed to be disappointed.
Two days since a few of Mr. Walter's supporters at
the last electron, feeling sure that a large body of the
electors were eager for that gentleman's return, deter-
mined upon nominating, and, if possible, returning him,
without either his knowledge or consent. Feeling strong
in this conviction, the necessary steps were immediately
taken to Secure Mr. Walter's election. That gentleman
was duly proposed and seconded yesterday, and the
poll fixed for this day. At first the attendance of
voters was rather slack, so that at nine o'clock scarcely
150 electors had polled, and by ten the number was not
more than trebled ; Messrs. Walter, Hobhouse, and
Gisborne keeping pretty nearly together, and Mr.
O'Connor following rather distantly in the rear. The
early statements put out on each side were so extremely
at variance that no good purpose could be answered by
quoting them. It may be stated in brief terms, how-
ever, that for a time Sir John Hobhouse stood slightly

first, owing to some of the supporters of Mr. Water
giving their second vote for him ; but about el, yen
o'clock this order was reversed, the Dissenters in consi-
derable numbers voting plumpers for Mr. Gisborne, thus
placing him at the head of the poll. This state of
things, however, lasted but a very abort time, at two
o'clock Mr. John Walter heading Mr. Gisborne by nearly
400 votes ! The numbers then were—
Mr. Walter
Mr. Gisborne .
Sir John Hobhouse
Mr. O'Connor

... 1,040
... 692
... 636
... 611

The electors were so closely watched by the non-
electors, that no system of bribery could conveniently
be resorted to, and this contest being conducted on pu-
riry principles the following return, at half-past three,
o'clock p.hows the re.ult of spontaneous popular feeling :
Mr. Walter • - 1,506
Mr. O'Connor . . ... 982
Mr. Gisborne ... 902
Sir John Ilubhouse ... 831

This announct-ment was received with cheers that
rang through the whole town—reachicg even to the
suburbs ; but those plaudits were comparatively insig-
nificant as compared with the shouts which rent the air
►when the figures at the final close of the poll were de-
clared to be—

Mr. Walter ... ... 1,830
Mr. O'Connor ... 1.340
Mr. Gisborne 1,089
Sir John Hobhouse ... 974
Mr. O'Connor is now (4 30 P.M.) sounding the ptean
of triumph from the Exchange window, the Market-
place (one of the largest in England) being densely
crowded.

OXFORD (UNIVERSITY).
JULY 29.—The proceedings at the election this morn-
ing commenced with a convocation held in the theatre
In- the purpose of admitting Masters of Arts to their
Regency. The nomination began at twelve o'clock'
when tne theatre, with the exception cf the undergra•
duster' gallery, was denSely crowded. The Rev Dr.
Barnes, Canon of Christ Church, proposed Sir IL H.
Inglis, Bart., M.A., Christchurch, in a very few words,
after which, C. G. Round, M.A., Balliol, was proposed
by the Very Rev. the Master of Balliol College (Dr.
Jenlmis, Dean of Wells). also in a very brief speech.
rhe Rev. the Rector of Exeter College (Dr. R.chards)
then proposed W. E. Gladstone, M.A., Christchurch, iu
the following speech:—
" S Ads scio, aoademici, vos hodie convenisse non ut
