GENERAL ELECTION.

THIS DAY.

MARYLEI3ONE.

The Election for the Borough of Marylebone took place
this morning.
At an early hour the several canditlfttn, attended by their
friends, came upon the hustings, and were loudly cheered by
their respective parties.
The Precept having been read, and the other formalities
gouo through, the returning officer's deputy read the
Bribery Act, during which the crowd manifested great impa-
tience, and interrupted him frequently by cries of " Off', Ott!"
" Encore !" and " Why don't you read the act for the repeal
of the malt tax ? "

JOHN SANDELL, Esq., the returning officer, said—Gentle-
men electors of the borough of Marylebone it is not my duty,
nor is it my intention, to address to you on the present oc-
casion any political observations. lam merely here
as a public officer, and it is my intention to act with
the strictest impartiality. I hope when the election is
at an end, that it will be found that I have given satisfaction
to the candidates, and gained the esteem of the electors.—
( Cheers.) From the reading of the precept, you have learnt
the purpose for which you have been called this day. You
have been called together to elect two persons to represent
yoer rights and privileges in the Imperial Parliament—( Cries
of "we want that.") He was sure he need not ask them to
hear with silence and patience any candidate who might ad-
dress them, for unless they gave each a patient hearing, it
would be impossible to decide who was most fit to represent
them. He would not detain them longer, for so enlightened
a constituency required no instructions from him. Sir Wm.
Horne would be first presented to them, and afterwards Sir
Samuel Whalley, Mr. Bulwer, and lastly Mr. Young--( Cheers. )
Mr. TRESLOVE said he had the honour to propose to them
his honourable and learned friend, Sir W. Horne—( Hisses,
cheers, and cries of " Off,")—as one of the two representatives
to have the distinguished honour of representing that 13ormigh
in Parliament—(hooting and cheers): Allow him to ray that
he was not new in politics, for he had the honour to be a
member of the Whig Club to the last moment of its existence
—(uproar, and cries "it has done you no good.") He had ims
bibed his maxims of policy from the lips of the illustrious Pox,
the late Duke of Norfolk, and other distinguished characters
ho had advocated the rights and liberties of the people, and
suppart-.3d the principle's of civil and religious liberty—
(cheers and disapprobation.) It has been his Majesty's
choice to exercise his undoubted prerogative in the
dismissal of his Ministers and making choice of
others—but let it be observed, that although the
prerogative of the Crown was unquestioned, there was also
the prerogative of the Parliament and people to approve or
reject his Majesty's choice—( Cheers and hisses.) The prero-
gative of the Parliament and the people was equal to the
prerogative of the Crown. The Crown may elect, but the
people must confirm the Monarch's choice. They had before
them four candidates to solicit the honour of representing
them in Parliament. The question, therefore, was, who we,
most fit to represent them, as the present crisis was the most
serious and momentous that could he recollected by the assem-
bled people. It would fall to the let of the new Parliament
to consider in what manner there should be a distribution and
disposal of the vast revenues of the Established Church,
and there would be also an enquiry into the abuses
of the municipal corporations, which had been con-
verted from the object of their original institutions.
It is for you to consider (said the Learned Gentleman)
which are the two candidates who are the most fit and proper
to represent you, and I most cordially come forward to propose
my Hon. and Learned Friend as one of the most fit persons
you can have. By a long course of severe and unwearied
study he has attained to the highest rank in the first Court of
Judicature in the country. I speak with the most perfect re-
spect of the other candidates, but when I consider his pro-
found learning, his great talent, his character, and his station,
lam convinced that he is tile most proper representative t•tea
can select, and the best calculated to do honour to your choice.
—( Cheers, and confusion.)
Mr. TEAD, a Chancery barrister, next appeared. He said,
it is with the same satisfaction that has been expressed by rny
Learned Friend Mr. Freelove, that I most heartily seend tine
nomination in recommending to your choice one of the most
honest, one of the most respectable, one of tile most inde-
pendent men—the most honest in public—the most honest in
private life, that exists. We are met, gentlemen, to-day to
exercise one of the greatest, the most important—na.V I,‘,•ttlitiut
which all other privileges would be unimportant tis the people
of England—the true and independent choice of Members to
Parliament, and I press it upon you, gentlemen, as a matter
not only deserving but demanding your most serious considcraa
Lion, in the discharge of those duties. which the Parliament and
must
me of the great and momentous
tee
the country expect from you. You have heard from my Hon.
Friend
who hasl
questions which
whichm ntatthiets next so cone under the consideration of parlia-
°Jion. You have heard that questions upon
"11('"... vital interests of the country depend, will come
under `'.7,nsideration, and must be then and there decided.
IT. pon the characters then of men sent to parliament depends
the very existence of this country--( Cheers.) I call upon
every elector therefore—l call upon every honest, every true—
every independent elector, who knows the value of the Con-
stitution which has been the admiration of all ages-.-.the ad-
miration of all countries—which has made in all ages and in
ell countries, the very name of Englishman noble of itself—l
call upon you who know and value these things, to take care
that in your choice of representatives, these institutions shall
be preserved unmutilated and undefaced. Gentlemen, I say I
am glad to say it—it has been asked of my Honourable
Friend—who is Sir William Horne ? Gentlemen, my answer
to that is—ask public men, of all parties, who and what is Sir
William Horne? Ask public men of all shades of opinion,
from the staunchest Tory to the strongest radical, who and
what is Sir William Horne ? They will tell you that, of all
public men, of ancient or of modern times—unquestionably of
all public men of these times—Sir William Horne is the most
honest, the most intelligent, the most disinterested, and the
most independent man that lives. Upon a former ijOcasion,
gentlemen, I from my heart supported Sir Willimp Horne.
I was a humble follower amongst his supportors as he deserved,
where we will place him again at this election. I assisted with
Sir William Horne's friends in placing. him,
to the honour of Parliament,-ny ar .. to the to your honour,
g,.eat men who, acuatc; ." country, amongst those
patriotism, laboured only to assert
—laboured to vir-,„'.lcate—and laboured to preserve the institu-
tions of (":.c country. I have therefore very great satisfaction
in '-'e..conding the nomination.—( Cheers and hisses.)
Mr. Hoes came forward to propose Sir Samuel Whalley as
a fit and proper person to represent the Borough of Mar,yle-
bone in Parliameht.—(Cheers.) He had been the strenuous
advocate ;for the rights and liberties of the people. The
rri:iciples of Sir Samuel Whalley were well known, and he
had not taken up their time in recapitulating all that he had
done for them While in Parliament ; but he would say that a
man like Sir Samuel Whalley at the present time, possessed
of such talent and ability as he was, was a perfect treasure.—
( Cheers.) The placard that was exhibited of " Whalley,
Bulwer, and the repeal of the House and Window Tax," would
put them in mind of Sir William Horne's being a candidate_
who, when in Parliament, voted against the repeal of that tax.
Numerous meetings had been held in the borough, at which
both Sir Samuel Whalley and Sir William Horne
were always invited to attend, ht order to explain
the votes which they had given. Sir S. Whalley had always
attended, but Sir W. Horne chose to keep out of the way.—
(Groans. ) Would the electors give Sir W. Horne an oppor-
tunity of repeating such conduct ?—(No, no.) He (Mr.
Hope) trusted that Sir Samuel Whalley would not only obtain
their suffrages on the present oreasloin but upon all future oc-
casions, and he trusted that at often as the King exercised his
prerogative in dissolving Parliament, that the electors would
exercise their prerogative in returning to Parliament Sir S.
Whalley as often as the*Kin should dissolve it, He had great
pleasure in nominating Sir Samuel Whalley.__( Cheers. )
Mr. POTTER seconded the nomination. It gave him much
pleasure in being enabled, although labouring under ill-
health, to second the nomination of their esteemed friend
Sir Samuel Whalley ; it was because he believed him in every
way suited to ask for their suffrages, and to be returned as a
Member in the ensuing Parliament to represent that en-
lightened borough, end because he was a tried man.—
( Cheers.) The enemy at the last election had said they
did not know hirn, he (Mr. P.) hoped they knew him now to
their heart's content. Sir Samuel Whalley had in every sense
of the word proved himself to be a fit and proper man to repre-
sent the many of that borough ; on the contrary he must say
that the colleague of Sir Samuel Whalley put him very much
in mind of placing him behind a Cart, that while one was pul-
ling one way the old hack was pulling the other.—( Laughter.)
Their opposing candidates told them they were Reformers.
He believed that they put on their Reform just as he (Mr. P.)
did his great coat and muffle, according to the weather—ac-
cording to the political State of the atmosphere so these
gentlemen put on Reform.—( Cheers and laughter.) They
had been accused of dictatien—( Hear, hear)—but he would
ask who had dictated, or attempted to dictate to the extent
that one of the candidates had done who now solicited their
suffrages.—(Cries of " Sir W. Horne.") Who during the
last Ses-sion of Parliament wished for that which no Judge
the land dared ask for before ? Who was that who
had asked for a Judgeship, and who was playing just
like the man with the cup and ball, and that wished for a
judgeship without its work ?—( Cries of " Sir W. Horne.")
Who wished to dictate to the Government that he should have
a salary for the judgeship, without performing the dutios that
were connected with it ? They all knew it was Sir William
Horne.—(Groans and hisses.) Talk about dictation ! He
asked whether any man, let him be who he may, assumed to
dictate to a greater extent than one of- the candidates for that
borough ? He felt it would be inflicting a great disgrace upon
the borough, by the return of Sir Samuel Whalley.—(Cheers
and laughter, which continued for some time.) He had meant
to say Sir William Horne.—( Cries of " No, no ; you were
right before.") Before he had done with the other side, he
should make some of them laugh on the other side of their
mouths.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir William Horne
had told them that public meetings were next-a-kin to a farce,
and that it was only the mob that attended them. He knew
that Sir William Horne thought so, for he had said that
very few respectable persons attended those public meetings,
and that consequently Sir Wm. Home has refused to attend.
What other mode had they of obtaining information but by
public
meetings duly convened ? He asked them then whe-
ther such a candidate could be certain of a successful return.
—Cries of " yes," " no," and uproar.) There was another
candidate forsooth in the field.. He asked them for their (
