REPRESENTATION OF MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a deputation of electors of the borough
of Marylebone waited upon Mr. Bernal Osborne, to
present to that gentleman a numerously signed
requisition, soliciting him to stand as the Liberal
candidate for the borough, in the room of the Right
Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., elevated to the,
peerage.
The deputation stated that, finding one or two
individuals had presumed upon their own personal
responsibility to invite a gentleman to come for-
ward, and thus dictate to the borough, they had,
although hurriedly, got up the following requisi-
tion, which the electors signed with the greatest
readiness :

" To Bernal Osborne, Esq.
" The undersigned, being electors of the borough
of Marylebone, fully convinced of the liberality of
your political sentiments, and of the talent which
enables you to give full expression and effect to
the same when required to be brought into active
exertion, are of opinion that such qualifications are
eminently suited to, and required in, a representa-
tive of this important borough. Having been in- •
formed on undoubted authority that our present
excellent member, Sir B. Hall, is about to be raised
to the peerage, thereby causing a vacancy in the
borough, we cordially and respectfully request you
to become a candidate, and should you think fit
favourably to entertain this our requisition, we
pledge ourselves, individually and collectively, to
use every, exertion in our power to promote your
return."
Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE expressed the high grati-
fication he felt at the compliment paid to him. In
the first place, he had understood the duties of a

....____.
_
representative of the borough of Marylebone to be
so onerous as almost to appal the most experienced
tactitian. The next was, the expense of contesting
such a borough. When it was found that Lord
Ebrington's election expenses exceeded £6,000, it
became alarming to any candidate, and he (Mr.
Osborne) Was certainly not prepared to fight such
a battle a that, much as he should appreciate a
seat in Parliament for such a borough. On looking
over his father's papers he found that he had paid
£60,000 in 40 years in Parliamentary expenses,
and he had made up his mind not to do so foolish
an act himself. He was quite willing to serve the
Liberal party in the great borough of Marylebone
if they thought him worthy to represent them, but
he should consider it presumptuous in himself to
come forward unless he received such a public in-
vitation as would justify him in believing that he
was likely to unite the great mass of the Liberal
party. He knew that the electors of Marylebone
were exceedingly sensitive, and very properly so,
in reference to anything like dictation, and that
wouldmake him exceedingly cautious. If, however,
there appeared anything like a general feeling in
his favour, he would not hesitate.

The deputation assured Mr. Osborne that through-
out the length and breadth of the borough his name
was spoken of with approval as a fitting candidate
to succeed Sir B. Hall.

Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE said if a public meeting
of the electors were called he wonld have much
pleasure in attending and addressing it, and it
would be for them to say if they thought
him worthy of support. If, however, they felt
that they could find a better man, he would cheer-
fully retire, so that the Reform interest should not
be jeopardised.
The deputation retired, much gratified with their
interview, and stated they should take immediate
steps for calling a public meeting of the Liberal
electors.

During the afternoon large pink placards were
posted throughout the borough, bearing the words
" Bernal Osborne, the Liberal candidate, for Mary-

lebone," and Colonel Dickson was engaged in feel-
ing his way amongst the " influentials" in various
districts. The writ is expected to be issued on
Thursday, and the election to take place in the
course of the following week. It is fully believed
the Conservatives will start a candidate.
