The Rev. Sir SAMUEL C. itiVOISE, Port. moved, Mr. Twits seconded, and it was carried, About one o'clock the Loral) MAYOR arrived in the H. and in crossing •itto, go to the Council- Chamber, was saluted by the hisses of the Livery men assembled. As soon as the Aldermen had taken their seats, the LORD MAYOR ordered the crier to inform the Livery of the purposes for which the Hall was convener. Mr. WoonruoarE, the Town Clerk, in the ab sence of the Recorder, obeyed his Lordship's behest, after which the Lord Mayor and Aldermen retired. Much hissing attended the Lord Mayor on his mov ing from the Hall. Alderman WAITHMAN then came forward, and expressed a hope, although his name was among those who had been put in nomination for the office of Sheriff, that he might not be chosen. It would be impossible for him to do his duty as their Repre sentative? in Parliament, and act as Sheriff at the same time, with either satisfaction to himself or be nefit to them—( Applause). Mr. Alderman Wortiwrcr, made a similar appeal to the indulgence of the Livery; as did Mr. FAVELL, on the part of Mr. Kay, likewise on the list, on the ground of his private affairs requiring his sole attention. Mr. KEY was willing to serve, however, on any future occasion. for each County, except for North and South Wales, all of •vhich nJ r; a; aLsn must the several Coun.

The sense of the Meeting was first taken as to the Electio* of Alderman Wa;thman but not a single hand was held up; his appeal, therefore,was: successful. Upon Alderman Bothwell being proposed, Mr. HUNT attempted to come forward to address the Livery. This was resisted by Mr. WOODTITORPE, who said he should not interrupt the proceedings ; the time for addressing the Livery had gone by ; and if he did not retire, the Marshals should be called to enforce order.

I have ao desire to try any right of my own. The next Gentleman whose name will he presented to you, in order that you shall say whether you will, or will not, elect him as your Sheriff for the ensuing year, is Alderman Rothwell. I am about to address you, and to state to you my opinion of what sort of man you ought to elect for your Sheriff, and what son:of man you ought not to elect. Gentlemen, at the present important aud eventful period, it is the duty of the Livery of Loudon to elect a man of cha racter and of talent. It is your duty to elect such a man as Alderman Rothwell. You have heard what he has said on the present occasion, and no doubt you will allow him the same sort of indulgence which you granted to the worthy Alderman who was put up before him. If this anticipation be correct, then you will have to look further; and in fixing your choice, let me entreat that you will not select a per son who is likely to become the tool of any party or faction—(Hear, hear) ;—and especially at a season so pregnant with difficulty as this. The time ap. proaches when the duties of Sheriff will require to be exercised with energy and 'with judgment, and I trust you will elect a man possessing both the one and the other. You might to elect a man who will not be wavering to this or that party, but who will conscientiously discharge his duty to his fellow Cid .sens, and to the Livery of London—( Hear, hear, and cries of "such as yourself").—A man who will not be the tool of A corrupt and venal Administra tion. You will not elect a man who will, for the sake of gratifying his own vanity, by an attempt to obtain some empty title, run the risk of setting this great City in flames—(Hear, hear, and cheers). —You will not elect a' man who will not take the advice of his fellow Aldermen. If you should elect such a man,• it is more.than probable that von will witness that conflagration which my Lord Mayor has told you was likely to have taken place. I have had suf. ticient experience of the coadoct of the people of the Metropolis, and especially d , irirn ? the last week, to believe that nothing on earth will induce them to commit an act of violence to..varis the Government, unless they are excited, and goaded, and driven to it by madness. You have. place,i, by your election, the worthy Aldermen, who have been •prel,ented to. you in the offices they y:air Magi strates. You have also y. 1.0 rd the preien: Lord Mayor in the situation of your Chief Ma7i , trate—(C'ries of No, no, a false retn;•,l ).—(;;•aller,3011, you are a ckii berate body. Yon possexs a rower enjoyed by no ether body in this Country--that of choosing your own Ma gistrates and Sheriffs; and in the exercise of that power at behoves you to act with wisdom and with caution. The - Gentleman already elected as one of your She riffs (Mr. Parkins), bc;th by character and fortune, will do great honour to the Livery of London (Hear), and it is your duty to take care what sort of a man' you appoint as his colleague. A person who stands here, I don't know who he is (Mr. 'Woodthorpe), en- . deavoured to prevent me from addressing you, and threatened me with calling for the assistance of the • Marshals. If I have behaved improperly, lam most willing to submit to the laws of my country ; but it ,would be a most extraordinary decisio indeed, if I, as a Liveryman, were prevented from addressing you, my fellow Liverymen, upon so important an occasion as the election of one of your Sheriffs— . (Hear). I presume this, person has authority from his gown r i nd wig ; but I little expected he was going to plat the part of my Lord Mayor and Parson Har rison, and take me into custody. I repeat that -I will always bow with submission to authority properly exercised, but I never will be deterred from doing what I conceive to be my duty, and especially whets I come before such aisody as this.. I hope and trust before this Meeting is at an end, that whatever Worthy Alderman may be elected—whether Alder man Rothwell, or any other Gentleman, that you will have either f r o m hi m or f rom the Lord: Mayor, an assurance that he has got in his custody those atrocious conspirators who were going to burn this great City, and to murder all its peaceable inhabitants' —(Hear, and cheers). I will' venture to say, that there are not ten old women in this metropolis, and I will give you the Lord Mayor into the bargain, who be= lieve one word of this notable plot—(Loud laughter). Mr. Hunt then proceeded to advert to the practice of putting persons in nomination as Sheriffs, Who, it was well known would not, or could not serve, merely for the purpose of enriching the City Trea sury—(Hear). This was a practice a; disgraceful as it was unjust, and ought to be avoided. Before the' Livery elected any Gentle Man to the office of Sheriff, they should ascertain if he was willing to discharge its duties, and that could easily be done. He (Mr. Hunt) hoped he would live to see the day when his fellow-Citizens would not prove forgetful of their own interests: and, for his own part, he always came forward with a disposition to do his duty. No power should ever intimidate him, nor threats prevent him from acting according to the best suggestions of hii feelings. He svas told by a Morning Paper of the day. that he would be hooted by the Hall, and pelted by the populace * he passed along to attend to its Proceedings—wishes somewhat in unison perhaps with those of a petty faction, whom he saw in a cer tain corner ; but in despite of such a prophecy, he had escaped unhurt, and was now addressing his fel low-Citizens. He always spoke what he felt and what he knew ; and though all the City officers were against his addressing the Livery—although the lit tle Gentleman in the sown and wig was also de sirous of preventing his speaking—indeed, peremp torily so, together with one of the She r iff s (R o b erts ) ; yet Mr. Sheriff Gwynne, wishing to do what was fair and honest by every man, allowed him to exercise his right, and for the kindness with which it was done, he begged to thank him. Mr. Hunt concluded b r thanking the Meeting for the' patience with which they heard him, and expressing his intention of again addressing them, if any necessity for his doing :0 should occur—(Hisses and bravos). The T9wn Clerk then put to the vote the names of the following Gentlemen, from whoin a selection was to be niade to fill the office of Sheriffs—Alderman Rothwell, Robert H. Marten, and William Cay key, Escirs. The Town Clerk pow came forward, and an nounced, after tht show of hands was taken, that the election bad fallen •on Alderman Rothwell—(Cries of , 4 No, no"). Mr. HUNT—I pretest against the election altoge ther. Surely if you allow a man to hold up his hand for one side of the question, you ought also to suffer him to hold up his hand in its negative. This is not the way to carry such a qneition. I hope the Gentle man elected will not pay his money ; I know 1 would not, if I were so ,situated. The Sheriffs heriretired to the Council Chamber, and shortly after the Lord Mayor returned, amidst hisses and howlings and a few plaudits, %%hen the Town Clerk reported that the return of the Sheriffs was confirmed . ; and that Mr. Alderman Rothwell was appointed to serve the office in conjunction with Mr. Parkins, for the ensuing year—(Cries of No, no); Proclamation to that effect Was made in the usual manner, and the Lord Mayor ordered the Ctier to proclaim that the Hall was dissolved. His Lordship retired amidst loud and continued groans, arid bowed to the Livery as he retired. At this period Mr. Ste phens presented himself to the Livery, and Gentlemen, we are placed in a inott extraordinary situation, in having for our 'Chief Magistrate a man who Will not take the Chair when properly called to it by his fellow-Citizens. I shall, therefore; propose, that Mr. Alderman Waldman do take the Chair—. (Bravo, bravo). Mr. TATLOCK—And I most cheerfully second it. Mr; Alderman WAIT/MAN then took the Chair, and the cheers upon his entering it continued for so. 1 ' ! i i ,;v ! I 1 , i .'• 1 • 'r , 1 , .
