MARYLEBONE ELECTION.

The result of the canvass, as made up last night,
gives the Liberal candidates a large majority of the
voters upon the registry, and the list has not yet. been
canvassed more than two-thirds.

A most numerous meeting of the electors, resident in
the district of St. Mary's, was held at the Bazaar Tavern,
King-street, Portman-square, for the purpose of receiving
from Sir Benjamin Hall an account of his past conduct as
representative of this borough, and of considering the
best means by which they could secure a continuance of
his services, in conjunction with Sir C. Napier: -
The two candidates were, as usual, greeted with the•
most enthusiastic cheeringg:
Mr. FRAMPTON, who had been a member of Mr.
Young's Committee, and one of the most active of his
supporters, was unanimously called to the chair.
Sir B. HALL then addressed the meeting. He said
that he had been desirous that his Gallant Friend, should
address the meeting first, in order that it should be made
more manifest that their co-operation was sincere and
zealous.—(Cheers.) In referring to his own past con-
duct, he was obliged to say that in his attention to the
interests of the whole people of the United Kingdom, he
had not neglected the local interests of the borough,
which he had the honour to represent. "When he was a
candidate for Monmouth, he refused to pledge himself
for the Reform Bill, under the terms of the " Bill, the
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," for he was one of
those who thought that a further extension of the fran-
chise should be given,_ that the vote should be protected
by the Ballot, and that the duration of Parliaments
should be shortened.—(Cheers.) He was still most
anxious that amendments should be made in the Reform
Bill, and that those clauses which crippled the franchise,
such as the rate-payiug clause, should be repealed.—
(Cheers.) He had been mainly instrumental in effecting
the rejection of a Bill introduced into Parliament for the
purpose of destroying the local rights of the inhabitants
of this borough; for this he had been honoured
with the hostility of the Tories, and had been bitterly
assailed in the public newspapers. He never replied to
newspaper attacks, but he relied upon his late consti-
tuency to give a practical answer at the hustings._
(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then referred to his
votes in Parliament upon all questions, in which the in-
terests of his constituents, or of the nation at large, were
involved, and happily contrasted his own conduct in
respect to the Poor-law Bill, with that of Lord Tcign-
mouth, who had pledged himself publicly to vote for
the total repeal Of that Bill and who nevertheless voted
for the continuance of the most obnoxious clauses. The
Hon. Baronet then repeated the observations which we
yesterday reported on the speech of her Majesty to Par-
liament at the prorogation, in the course of which he
was londly and vehemently cheered. He concluded by
urging the electors present to come early to the poll on
this day week.
The room, which holds conveniently not more than
200 or 300 persons, had become by this time most in-
conveniently crowded, and a • very large assemblage in
front of the tavern called violently for an adjournment
to the open' air.
The CHAIRMAN said it
.was quite evident that the
Gallant Commodore, who was about to address the
meeting, could not be satisfactorily heard in the pre. cut
crowded state orther room, and as he understood that
there was collected in the street before
,tl):;nousc a very
large body of electors, for whom "rio space could be
found.within doors, he (Mr. Dr:Lawton) would snuggestthat the electors in the 1.00131 should adjourn to the space
in front, and that Sir C. I`.l-,apier should address the meet-
ing from the window, •
The proposition was adopted by acclamation, and -at,-
cordingl:i
Si!: C. NAPIER, presented himself at the window,
when he was received with cheers and hurrahs by the
vast crowd below, accompanied by applause and waiving
of-handkerchiefs from the ladies who thronged the bal-
conies and windows on each side, anxious to see and to
honour the Nelson or the Day. The Gallant Commo-
dore-then repeated, amidst the usual demonstrations of
admiration and assent, his former declarations of politi-
cal principle, and avowed his concurrence with the senti-
ments just expressed by his Hon.-Friend, of whom he
had no doubt he would very soon be the colleague in the
representation of this b)rough.—(Cheers.) He begged
to call the attention of the meeting to a notice which
Mr. Young had in the handsomest manner publicly ad-
dressed to the electors of the borough,—(Cheers.) It
was as follows
•
"TO THE_ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.

" Gentlemen,—The ballot between Sir C. Napier and
myself having terminated ill favour of that gentleman,
I have, according to the agreement entered into by our
Committees, ceased to boat candidate for your suffrages.
I cannot, however, withdraw without expressing my sin-
cere gratitude to tilt 945 Reformers who balloted for
me, not in a struggle with a political opponent, but in a
friendly contest with a Reformer, supported by the
whole strength of the Liberal press, and still more
strongly recommended by his achievements in a service
of v.hich he is so distinguished a member. I hope my
friends will now cheerfully submit to the decision of their
brother Reformers, and remembering only that there is
a common enemy to defeat, give to Sir C. Napier and
Sir Benjamin Hall all the support in their power.
" I remain, gentlemen,
" Your obliged and faithful servant,
" G. A. YOUNG.

" Upper Portland-place, June 21."
(Cheers.) To this he had to add, that a meeting of Mr.
Young's friends was held on the preceding night, when
Mr. Duffill moved, and Mr. Frampton seconded, a reso-
lution which was agreed to, pledging the electors pre-
sent to support him (Sir C. Napier) and Sir R
(Great cheering.) He would not detain the Meeting, be-
cause his Hon. Friend, (Sir B. Two Alia he had two
other meetings to attend in the borough that evening.
. In answer to a question from an elector,
Sir C. NAPIER said that if he had been in l'nrliament
when the motion was brought forward for the release of
the political prisoners, he would no doubt have voted on
the Liberal side, because he was opposed to all persecu-
tion on account of political opinions.—(Cheers.)
Sir B. HALL said it was enough;for hi* to 4 eder to the
newspapers of the day, in which hiCvuko would be found
recorded in the minority.—(Vehement cheering.) •
Mr. POTTER theu4noved,

Mr. Gomm seconded a resolution pledging the meet-
ing to support the Liberal candidates, which was carried
by acclamation.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.

To the Liberal Electors of the Borough of Marylebone.
Fellow Electors,—Allow me, through the medium of
the public press, to congratulate you on that union of
purpose t►tid determination which happily prevails
amongst all real Reformers, in this very important metro-
politan borough.
It was feared, at one time, that your strength would
be enfeebled by the introduction of two Reform candi-
dates, in addition to Sir Benjamin Hall, but, through
the honourable arrangements between Mr. Young and Sir
Charles Napier, and assented to by the general body of
Liberals, that apprehension no longer exists. •
Mr. Young, in the fulfilment of his promise, declared
in the most unequivocal manner, at the close of the
Ballot at the Colosseum, last Wednesday, the 6th inst.,
that he would not only retire from the contest, but
would give his whole support to Sir Charles Napier, and
use his best endeavours with his friends to enlist them
in the same cause.

I need only mention, that with a view to tifget this
object he has published a circular, and also a letter in
The Sun newspaper.
Brother Reformers—lt now remains with you to prove
that union is strength, banishing from your minds all
minor differences and private feelings, and with one
grand consentaneous and determined effort, rescue the
Borough of Marylebone from Tory domination.
A LIBERAL ELECTOR.
