NOMINATION (THIS DAY).

.. -
This morning the general election was inaugurated in
Marylebone by the nomination of two fit and proper persons
to represent the borough in the Commons House of Par-
liament. The only candidates for the honour, up to an
early hour this morning, were the two late mem-
bers, Sir B. Hall, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. ;
but a few minutes before the commencement of the
proceedings notice was given to Mr. Tamplin, the
returning officer, that it was intended to propose the Right
Hon. Lord Stanley as a third candidate. The fact of an
Opposition being offered to the return of the late members
gave an excitement to the proceedings which other-
wise would have passed off in the usually quiet
way unopposed elections in the metropolis generally do.
The hustings were erected, as usual, in Park-crescent,
Regent's-park, and at eleven o'clock the writ commanding
the election having been read,
Mr. G. TAMPLIN, the returning officer, came forward to
open the proceedings. He said the electors of Marylebone
were assembled that morning for the purpose of electing -
two members to a Parliament which would have to perform
duties as great and important as ever devolved upon any of
its predecessors. The English were always the lovers of
fair play, and he called upon the assemblage to give a
fair and impartial hearing to every gentleman who addressed
them, because if they did not hear them they could by no
possibility answer them, and the consequence would be a
loss of half the fun. (Laughter.) He then called forward
the proposer of Sir B. Hall,
Mr. DimuNsoN, of Paddington, who said it afforded him
much pleasure to propose so distinguished a gentleman as
'Sir B. 'Hall as a fit and proper person to represent the
borough of Marylebone in Parliament. Sir Benjamin had
so long represented the borough, and had become so iden-
ttified'with it, that to separate-him- from it would be like
'parting man and wife. (Laughter and cheers.) He was
of the people.- He was with the people, and any attempt to
'displace him could do no honour to any man however good
he might be—(cheers)—and nothing hut miserable defeat
'could follow such an attempt. (Cheers.) It had been ob-
jected to Sir B. Hall that he was a place-hinter; but he
knew well that when Sir B. Hall was so, he was always
'the right man in the right place ; and in his place, what-
ever it was, he had done his best for the interests of the
borough. (Cheers.) lie considered Sir Benjamin any-
thing but a place -hunter for his own interests ; and he
looked upon the circumstance of the right hon. baronet
having filled office as an honour to the electors of Maryle-
bone that they had chosen a representative with sufficient
intellect to fit him to hold a place. (Loud cheers.) He
concluded by proposing Sir B. Half as a fit and proper per-
son to represent the borough of Marylebone in the Cora-
mons•Houge of Parliament. (Cheers )
Mr. STOCKTON, in seconding the nomination, said it
would be impossible to fmd a man more eminently calculated
to discharge the important trust of representing Maryle-
bone in Parliament than Sir B. Hall. (Loud cheers.)
Sir J. DUKE said he again had the honour of proposing
to the electors of Marylebone his friend Mr. Edwin James
as a candidate for their suffrages. (Cheers.) He consi-
dered it a proud distinction that Marylebone would be the
first. lace to send two such eminent men to the new Reform
Parliament. (Cheers.) They would not go there to sup-
port a Government, but they would go there to say that the
people were determined to have a larger and more substan-
tial measure of Parliamentary reform than was prepared
by her Majesty's Government. (Cheers.) The present
Government had been objected to on many grounds, but
there was one on which the Whig officials would do well to
imitate, that' was courtesy. (Cheers.) [Here a handsome
bouquet was handed to Mr. Edwin James from some
parties on the right hand side of the crowd, amidst loud
cheers, which were repeated again and again as the
learned gentleman took off his hat and bowed.]
He.. thought it a great -hardship that at the
eleventh hour Sir B. Hall and Mr. James should be put to
the .expense and annoyance of a poll by parties proposing
candidates without their sanction. (Cheers.)
Mr. Ross said it afforded him much pleasure to second
the.nomination of Mr. James. (Cheers.) He had seen in
the newspaper that morning, an advertisement asking ten
gentlemen to come forward with £lOO each, for the purpose
of nominating Lord Stanley. (Cries of " oh, oh.") He sup-
posed that, as that nobleman was to be proposed, the money
had been got—(laughter)—but it was only another exempli-
fication of the old proverb, that fools and their money soon part.
(Loud laughter.) He felt certain the electors of Marylebone
were satisfied with their late representatives, and also that
it was impossible to obtain better ones, for they were as
good a pair as ever ran in a curricle. Whatever advan-
tage one might have in bulk—(laughter)—the other had
in height. (Loud laughter and cheers.)
Mr. HAIG then came forward amidst, great uproar to
nominate Lord Stanley as a fit and proper person to repre-
sent Marylebone in Parliament. Amidst much laughter he
proceeded to address the electors, when he was asked
whether Lord Stanley had, given his sanction to his name
being used. Mr. Haig answered' in the negative, and the
response was loud yells and hisses.
Mr: PRIDEA:Ux seconded the nomination of Lard Stanley,
although he had great adMiration for the talents of Mr.
Edwin James.
Mr. TAMPLIN then asked whether any other person
had a candidate to propose. Recciiing no answer, he called
upon Sir B. Hall to address the assemblage.
Sir. B. HALL said lie caniebefore them that day to ask fora
renewal of the trust which,ifor nearly 2:5 years, had been
confided to his care. (Cheers.) He had during the whole of
that period endeavoured to do his duty, and he felt that he had
dew nothing that should stand inthe way of his re-election.
He felt certain Lord Stanley was unacquainted with the
liberty that had been taken With his name, and he thought
it extremely hard that himielf and his h nr. colleague should
be,put to the annoyance of a contest by persons proposing
candidates without even their knowledge and consent. He
had no doubt of re-election, and he could not but regret that
their harmony had been Marred •by two over jealous ad-
mirers of Lord Stanley. (Cheerg.)
Mr. E. JAMES said he appeared before the electors that
morning to solicit the renewal of their confidence. The
gentleman who had seconded the nomination of Lord Stan-
ley said he had admired him (Mr. James) because he had
done his duty in Parliament—(hear, hear).—and this was
the way he rewarded him. (Cheers, and cries of " Your all
right.") He did not for a moment believe that Lord Stan-
ley was in any way connected with the movement that had
been made in his favour, and he was sure that nobleman
would as much regret the circumstance as any amongst them.
He, however, supposed the gentlemen had got their £9OO
advertised for, and it was 'their' duty to spend it ; but he
was sure the result would be only mortification and defeat.
His (Mr. James) opinions With respect to domestic matters
were so well known to the electors that he would not detain
them with the slightest allusion'to them ; bat with respect
to his opinions on foreign. affairs; he thought it was his duty
to make a few observations as to what he thought
ought to be the policy of England in the present crisis.
The learned gentleman then at' some lei gth repeated his
views with respect to the position of foreign affairs, and said
the safest and surest course England could take in the pre-
sent momentous crisis was that of non-interference. (Cheers.)
The hon. and learned gentlemtm concluded his speech by
expressing his frill confidence that at the close of the.poll
to-morrow ho should be again in the proud position of one
of the representatives of the borough of Marylebone in
Parliament.
Mr. TAMPLIN then 'called for a show of hands
for each of the candidates. For Sir B. Hall and Mr.
James a forest- of hands was held up, while for Lord
Stanley only eneindividnal in the crowd, and his nomi-
nator and seconder, held up theirs.
Mr. I'AMPLIN said-that the show of hands were in fa.vour
of Sir B. Hall, and' Mr. James, upon which Mr. Haig
demanded a poll for Lord Stanley,
The poll will open to-morrow morning at eight o'clock,
and finally close at four in the afternoon.
A vote of thanks to the Returning Officer terminated
'he proceedings.- . .

It is stated in Ministerial circles that Lord
Ossulston, late M.P. for Northumberland, is shortly to be
summoned to the House 'of Lords.
SUICIDE OF A CORONER'S OFFlCER.—Yesterday
considerable sensation was created in the parish of Edmon-
ton, in consequence of the suicide of Mr. Richard Brand,
who was carrying on business as a carpenter, and. also
'coroner's officer for the parish of Edmonton, in the Duchy
of Lancaster. It appears that the deceased was very cheer-
ful, and never showed the slightest tendency to suicide
On one of the workmen entering his workshop, he found
him hanging by a sash line to a beam in his workshop.
He must have accomplished the act by getting upon his
'work-bench, and throwing himself off. No cause can be
assigned for the rash act, as his circumstances were very
good, having several houses at Edmonton, and other pro-
perty in Hertfordshire. The deceased was highly respected
in the neighbourhood, and the poor have lost a kind and
benevolent benefactor. Information has been sent to the
coroner, but no day is yet named for the inquest.
FATAL ACCIDENT, ON THE ORWELL.—A few
weeks since we recorded a sad accident on the river Orwell,
by the capsizing of a sailing skiff, and the loss of three
lives. We have now to record a similar accident, and the
loss of two lives On Saturday James Girling, a Trinity
pilot, with his son, was stationed on board the' pilot
cutter, lying just at tile mouth of the Orwell, about a
mile from Harwich pier, and during the morning a 'Welsh
schooner entered the river. Girling and his son (who was
apprenticed to him as a pilot) went on board, and piloted
her up as far as the second pilot boat, which lies at Down-
ham Beach, three miles from. Ipswich, where another' pilot
went on board, and Girling and his son :sthe artedwi off fors
their
station with their skiff,.with sails set. Tnd wavery
puffy, and squally. They wore seen sailing past Tin Mill by
another pilot on board
.a yacht, who noticed that Girling
was steering with an, oar instead of a rudder, the latter, it
is supposed, having become disabled. The Atlanta 'steam-
packet was running down to Harwich about one o'clock,
and when near Foxhall -bottom, the mate, George Bacon;
saw what ho thought were the heads of two persons above
water. The 'steamer was at once stopped, the boat
launched, and two men pulled over to the spot, when they
picked up a pilot cloth jacket,, a sou-wester, a rudder, a pair
of oars, a boat scoop, and one or two other articles. These
were immediately identified as belon;ing to Girling and his
son. Nothing was seen of either the boat or the men, and
on the steamer calling at the. lower pilot boat, it was found
that nothing had been seen of the Girlings ; and there is
no doubt the boat was capsized by a sudden squall when
about two miles and a half from Harwich, and the unfor •
tunate father and son were drowned.—Essex Herald.
FATAL OCCURRNCE AT A PRIZE-FIGIIT:-011
ferredMonday afternoon the magistrates at Rochester wererire
occu-
pied a considerable time in investigating a charts
against john Robinson, a shipwright, employed in Chatham
Dockyard of hating killed another shipwright;
William Moore _Beasley, in a fight which took place on
Chatham-lines on the previous Saturday evening. 'From
witnesses examined in support of the
the evidence of the wi
prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner and deceresed, to-
gether with a number of other shipwrights, were drinking
at a public-house in Bromptort during the whole of the after-
noon and evening of Saturday, all the parties being very
much intoxicated. An orderly of the Medical Staff Corps;
who was in the house, challenged the prisoner to fight for
ss. a -side, which he' accepted, the stakesp deposited ;ill.
his hands. The parties then adjourned to Chatham-lines,
and commenced fighting in the trenches near the Sally-
port. After several' rounds the prisoner gave in, when
deceased handed the stake's to the medical staff man. On
this the prisoner became very violent, and wanted to
fight deceased,, who was described by a
the witnesses
as being very, drunk, and acting " like madman."
Another fight theri commenced, prisoner and deceased
closing, and both falling heavily to the ground, the prisoner
being under. In falling, deceased struck his forehead with
great violence against the ground, on which his head was
observed to fall forward, and after giving three groans, he
expired without uttering a word. Mr. Weeks, a .surgeon
who was promptly in attendance, made an examination of
the deceased, and discovered that the neck had been dislo-
cated by the fall, which was sufficient to account for death.
There were no marks of bruises or violence on the body.
The magistrates committed, the prisoner for trial, but ad-
mitted lum to bail. •

A very limited supply of home-grown wheat was on sale
to-day. Owing to the prospect of a continental war, home
grown wheats were is to 2s per quarter dearer, with a fair
demand.
Foreign wheat was held at 2s to 3s per quarter more
money, and some parcels were taken on speculation.
Floating cargoes of grain produced more money.
Barley was in improved request, and rather dearer. In
the value of malt no change took place.
Oats were firm, and held for more money. The imports
are on a fair average scale.
Beans and peas were firm in price.
The flour trade was active. Town made qualities sold at
