the return of Sir M. Wood or Lord J. Russell, they were
going to legislate for themselves, and to tell their candidates,
that if they did not do their duty the people would.—(Cheers. )
Let them not tell him the people were insig,nificant. When their
voice was raised for truth and justice, it must prevail.
The resolution was then put and agreed to unanimously.
Sir M. WOOD said that he, as they well knew, had
always advocated those principles of free-trade on which the
Government had now declared their sentiments.—(Hear,
hear.) He was glad to find that they were so popular. He
had yesterday, attended a meeting similar to the present in
another ward, at which he had expected some opposition, but,
strange to say, not a single hand was held up against their r
e-
solutions.—(Cheers. ) It was gratifying to find the same sen-
timents prevailing at that meeting. It would be absurd to de-
tain them by any declaration of his own principles, which were
so long known to them, and therefore he would not do so.
Their opponents said they should succeed by a large majority,
but he believed from the returns made to their Committee,
that it would be quite impossible for them to come near the Li-
beral candidates at all.—( Cheers.) He knew it to be a fact,
that of 5,000 letters that had been written, thanking the elec-
tors for promises, but six or seven hadbeen returned, as written
under a mistake.—( Hear, hear.) If they thought that himself
and colleagues had done their duty by them in public life—
(Cheers, and cries of 66 You have")—he was sore they would
continue their support to them—(Cheers)—and he would only
further say, that to live in their esteem would be to him a re-
ward beyond all measure.—( Cheers. )
Mr. CRAWFORD said he felt little necessity for trespassing
on their attention, and he could assure them they had much
to do before they retired to their homes. He would venture
to say that he thought Sir M. Wood in his address had spoken
to them too sanguinely of success, for although he did not
doubt they should obtain it, it must be remembered that it
could only be obtained by continued exertion.—(Cheers.)
He believed, from the manner he was received, that his con-
stituents were satisfied with his conduct--(Cheers)—and he
would therefore only further to detain them to assure them
that he should :continue constant the principles he had
always endeavoured to maintain.—(Cheers. )
Mr. G PALLISER said it was delightful to witness the unani-
mity that prevailed at all their great meetings in the metropo-
lis in favour of free trade and he might add, also, in favour of
himself and the other Liberal candidates.—(Cheers.)
He
would request them to attend early at the Guildhall on Mon-
day next. If they did so, they would hear Lord J. Russell's
speech, which, he would venture to say, would be worth hear-
ing.—(Cheers.) For himself, he begged to say that he had
always been an advocate of the ballot, of the extension of suf-
frage, and of free trade.—( Cheers.) Mr. Attwood had said
that he was supported by the most influential individuals
in the City, but the Liberal candidates were not
without the support of influential individuals. They
had on their side the Lloyds, Robarts, and Rothschilds,
and in that Ward he could look around him and name the
Challisers, Staceys, and others, all of whom were staunch
supporters of Liberal principles and the Liberal candidates.—
(Loud cheers.) He woul,l conclude by expressing his thanks
far the kindness of the meeting to him, and he begged to as-
sure them that he was ready at all times to meet them, and
give every information they might desire, respecting his politi-
cal principles and conduct.—(Cheers.)
J. FROST, Esq., moved the last resolution' and said that,
when an enthusiastic boy, he had linked himself to the
triumphal car which bore Sir M. Wood into the City as the
advocate of reform, and he could assure them, though
his boyish days were past, his enthusiasm in the
cause had not subsided.—(Long-continued cheering.) This
was the first time they had had a Government determined to
carry out those principles which were for the benefit of all
classes.—( Cheers.) He believed the great principle of Go-
vernment should be the greatest happiness of the greatest
number.—(Cheers.) He would only detain them longer by
reading the resolution, which was one pledging all present to
use their utmost exertions to secure the return of the four Li-
beral candidates.—( Loud cheers. )
G. STACEY, Esq., seconded the resolution, and said Mr.
Pattison had alluded to an extension of the suffrage, and he
would remind those present who had it not, bill who ought to
have it, that they had the power of materially influencing those
who enjoyed that privilege. He believed, when the master
monopoly of corn was broken down, the others would speedily
fellow, but to effect this, he would remind them that " those
who would be free must strike the blow."—(Loud cheers.)
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then proposed and
carried by acclamation, and after three cheers for the Queen,
the meeting separated.

ELECTION FOR MARY.LEBONE
The canvass proceeded yesterday with unabated vigour and
increased success on the part of the Liberal candidates ; so
much so, that the Tory Committees have had several meetings
for the purpose of considering the expediency of ,withdrawing
Fair James Hamilton, and leaving Mr. Cabbell to take the
chance which his reputation ( well or ill-founded) for munifi-
cent charity, might give him, i f being elected with one or
other of the Reform candidates, to both of whom, however,
more than half the registered electors, who have ever voted,
are already pledged. The precept from the Sheriff having been
received on Thursday evening by the returning officer (Mr.
Salomon), the erection of hustings in Park-crescent, and (J
polling-booths in the several districts, was commenced at an
early hour yesterday morning, and frequently, throughout the
Aly, the workmen employed tyon them were cheered on by
cries from the crowds, who from time to time assembled to
witness the preparations, with shouts of " Hall and Napier for
ever," " The Hero of Acre," " The Queen and the Commo-
dore," and shallor expressions of enthnsiasm for the friends of
the people.
The splendid model frigate (belonging to the ship-block-
makers), which is capable of holding about twenty persons, and
is sometimes paraded by the Company on State occasions,
being mounted on a carriage, drawn usually by four grey horse.,
was offered to the United Committee of Reformers, to be used
on tire day of chairing ; but we believe that that the offer
was yesterday respectfully and thankfully declined, on the
ground that however appropriate its exhibition might be in
the triumphant procession of the greatest naval hero of the
day, it is not considi rod advisable to add to the excitement of
that day of rejoicing, to which the inhabitants of this borough
at present look with an ardour which requires no furth r
stimulant.
A general meeting of the electors of West Pancras was
held at the theatre of the Colosseum, in Albany-street, Re-
gent's Park, for the purpose of hearing Sir Benjamin Hall and
Sir Charles Napier, and of taking measures to secure their re-
turn at the approaching election. The spacious theatre was
crowded in every part upon the stage, and in the area before it
there were collected upwards of three thousand persons, amongst
whom, we can confidently affirm, there were very few (if any)
non-electors. The side boxes were, for the most part, filled with
ladies..
Mr. Churchwarden HOUGHTON having been unanimously,
and with much applause, voted to the Chair, said it must be
gratifying to any man to preside at such a great and
important meeting of his fellow-parishioners—how much more
so must it be to him, when he had to introduce such distin-
guished and patriotic men—such well-known, firm, and staunch
friends of the people, as Sir Benjamin Hall and Sir Charles
Napier 2—(Tremendous cheering.) He was well-known to his
fellow-parishioners as an old and consistent Refot mer—
( Cheers)—and be need not now take up their time by any dis-
sertation upon his own opinions, or his claims to be supported
in the situation in which they had done him the honour to
place him.—( Hear, hear.) He would therefore only express
his hope that they would give to every one who might address
them, however opposed to the majority that person might be in
his opinions, a fair, quiet, and impartial hearing.—(Hear,
hear. ) He was especially desirous they should do so in the
presence of two men such as it was not often in the power of a
man to present to his fellow-man. He then introduced,
Sir BENJAMIN HALL, who was received with repeated
rounds of cheering, applause, and waving of hats, Which occu-
pied several minutes. When the tumult subsided, the Hon.
Baronet said—lt was most gratifying to him, at the close of
four years' service, to be met by his constituents with such an
enthusiastic greeting.—(Renewed and repeated cheers.) He
there received the only reward which a public man ought to
receive or to desire for public service—the hearty and sincere
approbation of his constituents.—(Cheers, and a cry of " You
well deserve it.") It was not a little satisfactory to find him-
self on that occasion in the room in which all disunion amongst
the Reformers of Marylebone was brought to an end.—
(Cheers.) In thatroom, in which he then had the pleasure to
see so many of his constituents assembled, a determination of
differences between the Reformers of the borough had been
come to in a manner which was not only satisfactory to
themselves, but which would exercise a happy in-
fluence upon the election, and set a useful example to
the country at large.—(Load cheers.) He could not,
in that place, withhold his warm approbation and high praise
from the gentleman who had stood on the evening of the
memorable ballot, on the very
.place upon that platform which
he ( Sir B. Hall) now occupied—(Cheers)—who addressed
the electors in the talented and eloquent manner in which he
was accustomed to address public assemblies, and who had
since most honourably withdrawn from the contest.—( Vehe-
ment cheering.) Mr. Young—( Cheers)—had since published
an address to the electors, in which he stated, that according
to his agreement with Sir Charles Napier--(Cheers)—he
had withdrawn from the contest.—( Cheers.) But there was
part of the address to which he ( Sir B. Hall) begged to call
the particular attention of the meeting. Mr. Young said,
" I cannot, however, withdraw, without expressing my sincere
gratitude to the nine hundred and forty-five Reformers who
balloted for me—not in a struggle with a political opponent,
but in a friendly contest with a Reformer—( Vehement cheer-
ing)—who was supported by the whole strength of the Liberal
press, and still more strongly recommended by his achieve-
ments in a service of which he is so distinguished a
member."—(Long and protracted cheering.) After that
L justly merited compliment to his Gallant Friend, Ma.
1 Young, in the same honourable spirit, proceeded to
.say,
of their brother Reformers—(
that there is a common

to the ballot. His answer was, that he thought it would be

meeting in connection with any other gentleman, until the
constituency- had decided who was to be his colleague.—( Hear. )
