In the Fauns et 641 day, Aldermen Atkiai and Ododbehere got a vote or two oadt. ' " When thesnu others were placed on' the poll boards, the same enthusiastic applause ensued as was mai fested yesterday. It was impossible for many mi- nutes ;o beat any thing but the repented shouts of —" Bravo I—Wood for ever I-off, off with Smith! .No • turn-coats! —No - hirelings I—No Ministerial tinse-serversr Whe; these cries partially subsided; Alderman SMITH came forward and endeavoured to address the Livery; but the popular dislike was so strongly manifested by groans and hisses, that be• was obliged to retire. Mi. Woirathen came forward amidst universal acclamations and observed, ,that be did not think it necessary to trespass much on the time of the Livery. —Their opinion in favour of .the Lord Mayor had been so strongly manifested by the state of the poll that evening; that any thing which be could offer would be unnecessary as a stimulus to their further exertion.•_ lie could not, however' refrain from making one or two remarks on a p lacard which he had seen, put forth io the course of the morning by Mr. Alderman Smith's friends. It contained a Sheer ing allusion to the partiality of the public in favour of those men who bad distinguished themselves by their exertions to do good. Ii alluded to a wish of the people to have Ste Francis Burdett a member of the Cabinet, Lord Cochrane at Spithead, and Mr. Alderman Wood a perpetual Chief Magistrate. Now although he (Mr. White) deprecated most strongly the introduction of. politics into the present contest, he cout.l not but follow the example which had been thus set by Mr. Smith's friends. (Here the Gentle man went into a lengthened panegyric on the efficient. services of Lord Cochrane while he was in commis sion). With regard to the services of the Lord Mayor while he was in office, he observed, that it was a most impolitic thing, on the part of Mr. Smith's friends, to bring them into discussion, for the more they were noticed, the greater must be the share of public favour attached to his Lordship's Mayorulty—( Load ap i eloare).—The Lord Mayor had convinced even those who now wished, for their own purposed. to deny the fact, that a • more active, a more intelligent, or a more efficient Chief Magistrate could not be selected from the whole Court of Al dernien—(Applaare).—Eviu the Worthy Alderman (Smith) himself believed this; and he (Mr. White) was convinced, that if that Gentleman hearkened to his own better reason, and did not suffer himself to be biassed by the dictates of others, he would, ere now have come forward and given up the question (Mar, Mar).--.But it was his misfortune, as it had been that of many greater men, to be made the tool of a piny. A party had goaded. on the Worthy Alderman to the present contest for their own intr• poses. They had, in the heat of their loyalty, con ceived that ao man was more proper to fill the Civic Chair, than be who could hew to ,the will of the ruling powers, and be the bumble servant of the Minister of the day. Indeed as this was their opinion of the merits of a Chief Magistrate, they were right in endeavouring to exclude the present Lord Mayor, for in the discharge of his official duties, he had not been the political instrument of any placemao. •He had not servilely stooped•to any man in power, and had always carefully avoided the introduction of any political opinions. . Had be chosen another course, had he been the pliablesiestrument of ministerial po. litics, had he stooped below his dignified station of Chief' Magistrate of London, he might long before. now have been honoured (if honoured it could be called under such circumstances) with the rank of a Baronet—(Load and militated aNdasse).—The Lord Mayor had not chosen any of theie courses ; he took the direction, in the discharge of his official duties, which justice had pointed out, and that he had suc ceeded, the opinion of the Livery expressed by the . item °, the poll, had fully proved—(Hsor, 4sar).— He (Mr. White) would •Dot detain, his auditors by commenting at *length on the conduct of Alderman Smith's friends, for he thought it would not be fair' to press harder on those - who had been already se verely beaten—( Load aNdatiaw).—The state of the poll on the present day gave him the most confident hopes of his Lordship's ultimate success, and he was 'certain that those who opposed him now despaired of the success of their project : but- as they ieemed de termined to go on with the poll for another day or two, he hoped the Livery would come forward on to.risorrow, and shew by their votes fur Wood and Combe (and he begged again to impress the neces sity of Voting for both), that the further continuance of the contest on the si r of -Mr. Smith's friends must "be useless—(4 o).—He should not then trouble the Livery longer, but would take his leave with this advice, that they should depart for their homes, resolved'every man to use his utmost exertions in bringing forward as many as he could oa the next day, to support their own cause, and the rights of the people.—(This *beds was received with the most enthusiastic acclamatiqns throughout the Hall). Me l HITCIUNS nest came forward, and observed, that be should not have obtruded himself on the Meeting, were it not for a misrepresentation which bad been industriously circulated by those who were interested in its belief—that there was no such thing, ever before beard of as a Lord Mayor serving the office two years successively. He thought it his duty to contradict this statement publicly; though be was convinced, that, even were it true, it would not weigh with those who wished foe the continuance of *e. present active Chief. Magistrate. It was a Meng: well known, that a short time after 'Sir John Cres pigny had been called to the Civic Chair; in 16914 death put an end to all his earthly laboars and hel, nears. To fill his plaro'for the remainder Of the year, Mr. Pilkingtoti was chosen, and tber the espireticits off his:eitr, he was again chosen for the year 1.6914 r and again' elected for 'the year 1693.

PUBLIC MEETING IN THE CITY OF LONDON TAVERN. , •••••imgowo 4! .4. Yesterday a Meeting of the Sebscribers and Friend* of the Down's Society of Fishermen's friends, was held . at the above Tavern. From the disagreeable state of the-weather, the Meeting was far from being so numerous as its importance merited( Soon after two o'clock, the . LORD MAYOR took the Chair. He regretted the pressure of business had preventedhim from coming at the hour he had premised,` end he still more regretted, that he could not possibly remain during the whole of the Meeting. He was obliged to go away almost immediately, as by an old statute it was requisite he and the Slieciffs should put an end to the hustings at three, and the Sheriffs, after so dbitig, had to go to Carlton House. At the same time; however, he had thought it his duty to attend, that the Meeting might know his anxiety, as far as he possibly could, to patronize every. institution cal culated tb promote the welfare, the happiness, and the prosperity of his fellow creatures. At the present unexampled period of puttic anguish, no man, who td a the common feelings of humanity, could stand and indifferently behold the anguish of his brethren. He forfeited every claim to the name of man, where every wish, every desire, everrezer. tine was not absorbed is the great object, viz.—their instantaneous relief. It was on this ground the pre test institution particularly accorded with his own feelings. It came home to his heart with the greater influence, in consequence of its affording to our gal font Naval defenders, the means of hooourably earn iali their bread, and it had another powerful recom nsendation, viz. the tendency it would have, by affording our defenders such-means, to prevent that disgraceful, iniquitous, and ruinous system of smug- Ong—a system which could not be too strosikly &?recated. from its tendency - to diritinish the revenue of the realm, and thereby add to . the already painful burdens of the faithful subject, and also from its generally involving in perdition and ignominy, the unhappy persons who followed it. It-was a tact too well known to require illustration, that the poor smuggler had unhappily no share of those gains, the fallacious prospect of which had seduced him from his duty; en the contrary, his life often became the sacrifice to his country's justly offended laws. In therefore coming forward to support this infant in. stitutioa, which had for its object the prevention of such glaring immoralities, his Lordship thought it his duty to state, that he bad learned with the 'great est astonishment and indignation, the conduct of the oyster merchants in the city, respecting the valuable bed of oysters lately found at Drover, and the iniqui tous measures they bad taken to prevent the prior mechanic from thus enjoying what the particular bounty of a gracious PROVIDINCII had secured for him in the present scarcity. By the disgraceful conduct of such fi shmongers, the oysters formerly selling at ss. per bushel, had been raised to 151. and; ethers of them to 25 or 265. These persons might depend he should sift.their conduct tia lb, bottom, as heowas determined to give his fellow citizens and his fellow creatures all the means they could possibly enjoy of alleviating the present pressore of calamity. 04 this account he trusted the Institution would. meet the approb itioll of the Citizens of London.— For his own part, no exertion he Could make should be "wanting to promote the Institution, and, by en abljng them to emplpy entry man they had it in the power to engage, . is defeating the design such an unnatural, wjcke d, _and infamous combination wit intended to accomplish. No man was more anxious than himself to patronise any Society. what ever the politics or particular tenets of its members might be, provided they directed all their energies to public improvement, and the amelioration of public morals and habits, but. at ;hewn' time he had as strong an abhorrence for thom .who-could wish for aggrandisement at the expense ot.their fellow mortals. The Mao, however high he might- rank-ip society, i deserved to be .blotted oat from the list, of .human creatures whose heart did not with sensibility for their sufferings. His Lordg7thett begt aigi Meeting would excuse him from staying any as his tame was so much occupied. Ha retired with much applause. Mr. Alderman Amo u rs was tbep called to use Chair, and at someleogibe stated the object of .

Tested by the boatthen at Deal, not more than .one third a whotis.were now employed in hoVelling. It was proposed also to fit out a herring buss, of seventy total, after the Dutch manner, on board of which those, herrings might be salted, which could not be brought ashore with sufficient eipedition, in the bout The accomplishment of these objects, however, must in a great degree depend on the amount of the sup port receded. The subscriptions and donations al. reedy eollected.did not exceed iftl,Soo ; but to tfrect the objects proposed £5,000 would be requisite: But the scheme was not one of a Merely charitable ha.; titre ; it held out a fair prospect of mercantile profit to those who should become share-holders.
