TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF MARILEBONE.
GENTLEMEN',
ILEARN with infinite regret that the Sheriffs
are advised not to adnit my claim to exemption from service
as Returning Officer for this -borough, but require me to perform its
duties for the current year.
This communication has been received by
me with feelings of deep
mortification, heightened in no small degree by the circumstance of
its reaching me at a moment when your cordial reception and ap-
proval of my sentiments last evening tended to leave no doubt on
my mind but that I should have been honoured by your fall confi-
dence, and placed in the gratifying and honourable position of represent-
ing you in Parliament. . .

My first question to myself is, shall I (however strong my opinion
may he that.this office Is forced upon me, Its deprivation of a
fond and I hope a laudable ambition), take any course that may in-
volve the borough in doubt and difficulty? I answer I will not !
There is no alternative : I must either place your votes in possible
jeopardy, or submit at once to the construction placed upon the law
by the learned persons who have advised the Sheriffs.
I refitin from ffiscussing the subject further, although I remain
under the strong conviction that I am entitled to be relieved from
the office which is now forced upon me. I have held it for many
consecutive years, and no technicality ought, I conceive, to render
it compulsory. But let me repeat any determination to perform the
duties required of me, rather than risk the involvement of your In-
terests and the public convenience. I accordingly, en these grounds,
most reluctantly withdraw my claim to your suffrages on this occa-
sion ; for I will not, nay, i dare not, on principle expose you to the
hazard and'inhonvenience of a disputed election.
I thank you for the unanimous and cordial approbation with which
you honoured me last night, and have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your obedipnt servant,
3, Gieiteamberi and-place DAVID SALMONS.

COPY OF THE UNDER-SHERIFF'S LETTER.
84, Basinghall-street, June 8,1847.
Sir,—Tho Sheriffs have had very fully under their consideration
your desire that they should appoint a Returning Officer for the
borough of Marylebone, in substitution of the appointment made of
yourself In March last, on the ground that, under the circumstances
you have presented to them, you are exempt from serving that office.
It would, I am sure, have afforded them much pleasure to have
rendered you every facility in their power consistent with their pub-
lic duty; but, having consulted three eminent council, who all con-
cur in the opinion that you cannot now decline to act as returning
officer; and that the Sheriffs have no power to accept your resigna-
tiOn, or to appoint any other person to that office, the Sheriffs are
reluctantly compelltWridl upon you to continue to perform the
fat *Ur, .114

you have hitherto done, in the most able and satisfactory manner.
I have the honour to be, Sir.
Your most obedient servant,
A. J. BAYLIS, -Under Sherrill'.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.

GENTLEMEN,
AS a Dissolution of Parliament will shortly take
place, and several Candidates are already in the field, for the
purpose of filling the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of my
Gallant Colleague, it becomes my duty to inform you that I shall
again solicit your suffrages, and aspire to the honour of representing
you in the ensuing Parliament.

Previous to the dissolution I shall have the pleasure of seeing you
at public meetings in the several districts of the borough, when I
trust I may receive from you those assurances of support which
will place me In the seine position on the day of pulling that I have
occupied at each of the preceding elections.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and faithfuls ,rvant,

cancy in the administration of your affairs, I beg respectfully to
announce my intention again to proceed to the Ballot, and earnestly
solicit the suffrages of those Proprietors who may be still disengaged.
I have great satisfaction in stating that the numerous additional
premises of support which I have received since the last election,
when I stood second on the pull, encourage me to look with perfect
confldnce to success on the present occasion.
When the day of election is fixed, I shall lose no time in forward-
ing to my friends in the country the necessary letter of attorney, to
enable them to vote by proxy, as well as to those in town who may
apprise me of their wishes to that effect.

I have the honour to he, with great respect.

WEST INDIAN PRODUCE.—A vessel named the
Charles Grey, arrived in the St. Katharine's Docks from
Bermuda, has brought a cargo possessing a considerable
degree of novelty and interest at the present time including
251 packages of arrowroot, 8 barrels of yams, 10 hogsheads
of hams, 772 casks of lard, 82 barrels of beef, and 100 barrels
of potatoes, the produce of that place. This large importa-
tion of lard and of beef would appear to be particularly re-
markable, and the importation of potatoes, on account of its
extent and the particular place of growth, is also not without
interest and importance.

frequent attacks of rhetanatism, which left her in a state of great
debility. In April last the pains were most excruciating, neither
medicine nor medical a,d affording any relief until she used Hallo
way's Ointment and Fills, when these valuable remedies in a short
time restored her to perfect health and strength. Holloway's Oint-

HAMPTON RACES.
THURSDAY.
The second day at Hampton, out of compliment either
to her Majesty or to her Majesty's " guineas," is pre-
scriptively the " grand" day, albeit, inferior in sporting
interest to the first. Such, however, is the public will;
and as the weather yesterday, unpromising enough in
the early part of the morning, turned out favourable,
there was the usual throng on the rail, the road, and
the water, and the usual mob on the Hurst ; every
stand was crammed, and the carriage inclosures
were blocked up from the top of the course to
the bottom. In brief there were all the outward
and visible signs of a "grand" day, and the lessees
must have reaped a rich harvest at a very small outlay.
The late hour to which the racing was spun out must be
our excuse for not entering so fully into details of the
sport, as it may appear to deserve. It commenced shortly
after two o'clock, and progressed with such utter disre-
gard of time, that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate
was not run until after five o'clock, and it was
seven o'clock before the Innkeepers' Race was con-
cluded. This ought to have been prevented, and we
think the stewards are to blame for having suffered it.
It will be seen that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate
was run under very suspicious circumstances as regarded
Blind Hookey. The rider, as we have stated, admits he
" pulled" his horse, but denies he did ao from dishonest
motives. We trust it may have been so, but it is our
duty to state, that the public opinion was very strong
against him, and that it was not altered by the final re-
sult of the Plate. Business commenced with the Clare-
mont. Stakes of 10 sors. each, 5 ft, with 25 added, for
two year olds, colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b.

lengths. The favourite was disappointed at starting, and
never reached her horses. Bun in 1 min. 1 sec. _ _

Marquis of Conyngham, and 4 to 1 agst Miles's Boy.
Miles's Boy made the running to the up turn, but taking
the wrong side of the two posts, gave up his place, and
shortly after rendered an objection needless by bolting.
The Muley Moloch colt went on with the
running to the distance, where Aliwal took
it up, and won by three lengths. Cameo was restive at
the post, and did not get off. Run is 4 min. 2 secs.
Second heat.-2 to lon Aliwal. Blind Hookey made
all the running, and, after a close race with Aliwal from
the stand, won by a neck. Run in 4 min. 2 sees. Third
heat.—The betting began at 2 to 1 on Blind Hookey,
but underwent a sudden change, and left off at 2 and 3
to lon Aliwal. This movement led to a suspicion of
foul play, that the manner in which the heat terminated
served to strengthen. The old horse made slow
running all the way, and long before he got to the
distance, had the young one dead beat ; 011iver
then pulled his horse, not, he alleges, for the
purpose of losing the race, but that he might not ex-
pose his horse by winning too easy—he merely intended
to win by a neck. The result was, that Aliwal got up
at the last and made it a dead heat. The general feel-
ing was very strong, and the rider of Blind Hookey, on
returning to scale, was openly charged by several gen-
tlemen, with having run to lose the race. This heat was
run in 4 min. 27 secs. Fourth Heat-5 to 4on Blind
Hookey, who made good running from end to end, and
after a fine race up the distance, won by a neck. Run
in 4 min. 1 sec.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE AND
HARVEST.

BELCIUM.—The Courier d' Alsace says—" At Colma,
the medium market price on the 20th May was 43f. 61c.
that of Thursday last, the 29th, was 37f. 5c., being a fall
of 6f. 46c, We must add that 1,466 hectolitres did not
find any purchasers, and are reserved for next
Thursday's market. At Mulhouse the sellers
were numerous last market day, but no one
seemed willing to buy. Native corn was offered at 38
francs and foreign corn at 35 francs. There has been a
diminution of six francs on the prices sinca the last
market, and a total fall of from ten to eleven francs
since the first symptoms of a decline. At Bouffach
and at Soult sales were not considerable, and there
was a sensible reduction. At Belfort and Donnemarie
the market was of second order, and prices considerably
lower. At Schelestadt the medium price of the market
before last was 48F. 14c., that of the last market (the
23d) was 43f. ie., being a difference of 4f. 35c. At
Strasburg, the corn, which at the market before last was
sold at 48f., was last market day at from 42f. to 43f., and
511 hectolitres remained unsold.
At Nancy, at Epinal, and at St. Die there was a fall of
from 7 to 9 francs. At Besancon there has been a
a considerable fall for some time. It is a fact worthy of
notice that commercial houses are so pressed by the
arrivals of considerable quantities of grain purchased
during the winter, that travellers are going throughout
all the localities to endeavour to get rid of their stocks ;
some of them even cause their prices to be published
. through the villages. This is owing to the fact that
there is no time to lose ; we are close upon the harvest,
which promises to be most favourable this year.
BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—From the 31st of May to the
sth of June, there entered into the port of Antwerp 36
vessels, laden wholly, or in part, with corn, and other
provisions. The importations made, were

COLONIAL PRODUCE.—The vessel Henry, arrived
in the docks from Van Diemen 's Land, has brought (from
Launceston) 1,466 bags of wheat; and the Elizabeth Buck-
ham, from the same port, has brought 433 bags and 782
bus'sels of wheat, the produce of that distant colony. The
latter-mentioned vessel has also brought 2 baskets and 3
casks of potatoes, which would appear to be a remarkable
importation from Van Diemen's Land, although not one of
entire novelty ; a previous importation of the kind having,
if we remember rightly] been berm wade the subject of
especial name.
