'MARYLEBONE ELECTION.

A meeting of the electors of the borough, resident
in South and East Pancras, was yesterday held at the
Clarence Theatre, Liverpool-street, King's Cross. •
The chair was taken by Mr. Bacon, at nine o'clock,
at which time a very numerous body of the electors, not
less than 600, was assembled.
Sir BENJAMIN HALL (who was received with tremen-
dous cheering) expressed his regret that his Gallant
Friend Commodore Sir Charles Napier was obliged to be
absent, attending at the launch of the Trafalgar, and at
meetinga of the supporters of the Liberal candidate of
the city of London.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet then
proceeded to explain, at considerable length, his political
sentiments and previous public conduct, as we have
already fully reported from recent meetings. He was
vehemently applauded throughout. He said that if the
Tories came into power, or if the , Tory candidates, or
either of them, were returned to Parliament, it would
be impossible to preserve the local Acts, which were felt
to be of so much value to Marylebone ; for it had been
with difficulty the attempts which were made last Ses-
sion. to destroy those Acts had been defeated—(Hear,
hear)—and he (Sir Benjamin Hall) had incurred great
odium from the Conservatives in the Borough for the
determined and successful opposition which he had given
to those attempts.—(Cheers, and cries of " Bravo.")
The proposed liberal measures of finance respecting
Corn, Sugar, and Timber, should.have his most cordial
support.—(Cheers.) He was not fond of quoting Scrip-
ture in political meetings, but there was one verse which
was so applicable to the Corn question, that he could not
refrain from repeating it. It was in these words :
" Whoso holdeth Corn from the people, I shall curse
him."—(Tremendous cheering.) He was a zealous friend
to the education of the whole people, without distinc-
tion of religious opinions.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted
that he had some claim upon the confidence of his con-
stituents, after four years service, during which not a
fault had been found with his conduct. He trusted
also that they would attend in such numbers at the
poll, as would convince the Tories that in Marylebone
they would find no place.—Great applause and cheering.)
A resolution pledging the electors present to make
every exertion to secure the return of Sir B. Hall and
Sir C. Napier, was moved by Mr. Moore, the Barrister,
and seconded by Mr. M'Ewen. It was carried by aecla-

mation. •
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the
meeting separated.
The following handbill, illustrative of the conduct of
the " Charitable and religious" Cabbellites and Hainil-
tonians, was widely circulated throughout the boreuth,
and numerous instances of intimidation equally flagrant
and insulting have been reported to us :
" TORY PRACTICE. •

" Yesterday, June 18th, Mr. Cabbell and Sir James
Hamilton, accompanied by Mr. Simon Gray, of 2,
Mornington-crescent ; Mr. Richard Dent, of 28, Bay-
ham-terrace ; Mr. George Lever, of 1, Bayham-street ;

Mr. John Dent, of 6, Cumberland-terrace, C. T., came
to the shop of Mr. Philip Watling, fishmonger, 105,
High-street, Camden-town, for the purpose of canvassing
him. Mr. Watling said he had already promised his
vote for Hall and Napier. Upon this Mr. Simon Gray
observed, " Very well ; I am a customer of yours, and
if you do not support us, I shall support those that are
our friends." Mr. Lever added, " I too am a customer
of yours ; henceforward it will be cheap bread'—[al-
hiding to the placard of Hall and Napier, which was ex-
hibited in the' shop]—and stinking fish. Mr. Dent,
sen. also said, Yes, cheap bread and stinking fish.'
Mr. Cumberland lastly, 'Cheap bread if you like, Mr.
Watling, but dear fish. This was said in the presence
of about twenty people, among others of Mr. Curd, 105,
High-street (next door to Mr. WatThig's) ; Mr. Hewitt,
132, Grove-street ; Mr. Lane, of the Railway Station
Offices, Hampstead-road.
