MARYLEB ONE.

The sudden announcement of the resignation of
Viscount Ebrington of his seat for the borough of
Marylebone yesterday, created no small amount of
surprise as well as excitement in political circles
throughout the borough. As might naturally be
expected, the inquiry was everywhere as to who
was likely to come forward as candidates to succeed
the noble viscount, and large numbers of the elec-
toral body, many of whom were on the former
occasion staunch supporters of Lord Ebring-
ton when he contested the borough success-
fully against Mr. Jacob Bell, expressed a strong
desire to know whether it was the intention of Mr.
Bell again to offer himself. In the afternoon the
question of Mr. Bell's candidature was solved by a
deputation of electors waiting upon that gentleman
at his residence in Langham-place. Mr. Bell, who
appeared to be suffering severely from bronchitis,
was found scarcely able to articulate. He expressed
the gratification it would have afforded him again
to have come forward in the Liberal interest ; and
that nothing but the delicate state of his health
would have prevented him from at once issuing
an address, asking for the suffrages of his brother
electors, At the present time, however, he
was reluctantly compelled to decline. Amongst
other names mentioned were those of Sir Joshua
Walmsley, of Mr. Wilkinson, late member for Lam-
beth, and Mr. Josiah Wilkinson, member of the
Metropolitan Board of Works for St. Pancras.
During the day, before the result of the Greenwich
election was known, large numbers of the friends
of Mr. Jacob Bell declared, in the event of that gen
tleman declining to offer himself, and the election at
Greenwich being adverse to Alderman Salomons,
that they would, on account of his being a resident
chiefly, immediately get up a requisition to the
Alderman to stand for Marylebone. When the
result at Greenwich was, however, known, Mr.
Angerstein was spoken of, as also Mr. Harry
Chester, of Highgate. There appears, however, to
be a general feeling in the first place, that a resi-
dent candidate will be preferred, and secondly, as
suggested by Sir B. Hall at the meeting on Mon-
day evening, that whoever represents Marylebone
for the future must be a business man and a work-
ing member-of Parliament.

THE WEST RIDING.
Sir John W. Ramsden for the first time met his -
committee on Monday in Leeds, and the interview
was mutually satisfactory. It was not intended
that the hon. baronet should enter into any state-
ment of his political views—this having been in
part done in his published address, and the fuller
statement being left for the hustings on the day
.of
election at Wakefield. But as questions were in-
vited by the chairman, Sir John's opinions were
asked on several points ; and the judgment, can-
dour, liberality, and independent thinking dis-
played in his replies commanded the warm appro-
bation of the gentlemen present. Sir John ex-
pressed deep gratitude for the kindness shown to
him by his friends, and asked that it might be con-
summated 'hy their attendance at Wakefield on
Monday neat—Leeds Mercury.
