FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, IMO. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. Yesterday being Midsummer Day, the Livery assembled in Common Hall to elect Sheriffs for London and Middlesex for the ensuing year. There was an immense attendance of the electing. The RECORDER read the list, on which a number of names ap peared, and the Sheriffs announced that the election fell upon Thomas Flight, Esq. and Archdall Palmer, Esq. A poll was then demanded upon the parts of P. H. Martin, Esq. and J. Woolley, Esq. (as we understood in the great bustle of the hall.) Mr. Flight, whose name did not appear upon the list, had for his proposer Mr. Jupp, the Common Councilman, and for his seconder Mr. Deputy Brook. Mr. CHAPMAN MARSHALL, who had been solicited to stand, begged to be excused for a year or two, when he should •oluntarily fill the office, and use his utmost exertions to please and benefit his fellow-citizens. Notwithstanding this appeal, Mr. Marshall would either have had to serve or to pay, had it not been for a mistake that occurred in the hall with respect to Mr. Palmer, whose name was confounded with that of a candidate for one of the inferior offices, and who htd a great number of Mends in attendance. When the time for the appointment of aleconners arrived, Mr. Huw r asked what the duties of aleconners were. He had heard that it was their duty to go round to the different public. houses of the city of London, and taste the ale.—(laughter.) When had they performed the important duty of reporting where poisonous stuff was sold ? The livery had seen that hundreds of publicans had been fined for mixing deleterious ingredients with their ale, but they had never found that the aleconners were those who detected the offence. No, no ; the duty of the aleconner was to take bribes of the publicans.—{hisses, and laughter, and applause.) He would turn all the present aleconners out, and not send in any new ones, for it was a moat scandalous and disgrace. ful robbery upon the public. It was a part of the present sys tem, which worked amongst the corporation, from the highest to the lowest. (A great row.) He could prove it beyond all doubt. He would take the chief office as an instance. It was a part of the duty of the Lord Mayor to see that no unwholesome corn was received into the city of London. Did the livery ever hear of his lordship's tasting the corn and distinguishing between the good and the bad ? (Loud laughter.) No ; the captain of the cargo waited on him with a sample, and paid him a bribe, so that the whole system, from the top to the bottom of the corporation, was base and corrupt in the last degree.: The als conners were then appointed. Some names were then put up for the office of auditors, but Mr. HUNT proposed Mr. W. Allen and Mr. H. Perry, two gentlemen who, he said, would perform the duties faithfully and gratuitously, as those who had just resigned. The election immediately fell upon the two just named. There was a good deal of squabbling at this period between Mr. Dixon, the Common Councilman, and Mr. Hunt, in which the word " blackguard" was used by both parties. The latter told the livery that there were several bullies around him, but the day for bullying had gone by. He had shown to the citi zens of London that they were annually plundered, and be should be ready to meet any of those who now reviled him, in the morn. ing, either as a gentleman or a blackguard. Nothing was said in answer to this challenge, except by 31r. Dixon, who said he was willing to have it decided by the livery I* whom the palm belonged as a blackguard. Mr. Hunt was anxious to have the question put, but Mr. FLIGHT put an end to the discord, by standing forward to return thanks, and to assure the livery that he should use every ex ertion to perform the duties of the office to the satisfaction of the livery. WlLLiaxs, of Watling-street, one of the retiring auditors, stood forward to present the report. The expenses were represented as similar to those of former years, and the auditors complained of them as being, in some respects, enormous, and in others wholly un. necessary. The produce of the mayoralty they stated to be annually 11,0421; and after commenting upon this sum, which reached the mayoralty through several channels, they alluded to an item which they could not at all comprehend, although they had asked every body about it. He meant the sum of 1001. "in lieu of furniture to the Mansion. House." They had ascertained that, within sixteen years, upwards of 15,0001. had been expended in furnishing that building—a sum nearly equal to that which the chief magistrate of Bow.street received for all Ms services during that period. Mr. Williams observed, that the corporation moved tightly together,— there was no straggling, and there was therefore considerable diffi culty in getting hold of the items of their expenditure. He read an account of the salaries of some of the principal officers. The audi. tors had particUlarly examined the condition of the extensive but apparently unproductive property of the corporation at the west end of the town, and they agreed, that if proper caution and skill had been used with respect to that property, the Chamber of the city would present a very contrasted appearance from that which it now made to those who suffered by the mismanagement. The auditors next looked at the trade in freedoms. They were of opinion, that it was a great hardship upon poor tradesmen to be obliged to pay for their freedoms—a most harsh toll upon those who struggled to live upon manual labour. Mr. Williams thee adverted to the balance stated by the report to be often in the hands of the City Chamberlain, and complained of the practice of leaving so large a balance as 114,0001. at the conclusion of one year under such circumstances. He admitted the high respectability of the' venerable man; but the precedent was a bad one, and ought to be checked at once. He beged to call the attention of the - livery to some items which would _ serve as a comment upon others of a more serious amount. It was well known that the retiring audi tors, as well as those who had preceded them, never ate or drank at the expense of their fellow.citisens (cheers); and yet there was a charge for three city carvers to the auditors of the accounts, of 61. (Loud laughter, and cries of " Starving auditors !") The captains of the barges, too, and the watermen, had sums opposite to their names, for every voyage, although they bad salaries, and the sum of 1351. was charged for conveying the Lord Mayor on that long and perilous voyage from Blackfriare.bridge to Westminster.. bridge. Mr. Williams concluded an able speech upon the alleged mismanagement of the city funds, by observations upon other items in the accounts, which nothing but the livery themselves could in. fluence the corporation to scout ftom the sanctioned list of charges. (He was loudly cheered.) Mr. HON? addressed the livery.—There was, he said, one document of great importance alluded to by Mr. Williams—namely, that the City Chamberlain had at the end of one year (1828) a be.. lance in his hands of the city money amounting to 114,0001 This fact was now admitted by that officer ' • but it would be recollected that when he said the same thing on former occasions, the paltry fellows around him gave him the lie. Could they now say that he had told them a falsehood, when he had their own officer to eoe robo.vte him ?—(cheers, mixed with hisses and laughter.) He knew the Chamberlain to be an honourable man, but he would not therefore conceal the truth. The man was old, :and must soon die. Now suppose Mr. Clark had, at his death, one of those enormous balances in his possession, what might not his executors do with it ? (Cheers.) Might they not think lit to throw it into that place, of the difficulty of redeeming it from which he should say no more than just name the Court of Chancery? (Loud laughter, cheers, and hisses.) How were they to get their money in such an event ? He would ask the law-officers. (Ile here turned round to the Recordee.) l Nu answer. Why, when hr spoke to the City Chamberlain on that subject, chat gentleman declared that he had no idea that he ever bad such a balance in his hands. 3lr. Hunt concluded by calling upo n the livery to secure themselves against such an emergency as M described. Thanks were then voted to the retiring auditors ; ants similar compliment having being paid unanimously to the two retiring sheriffs, the Hall broke up. CITY AUDITORS' WORT.

In the course of our examination we found the following sums were paid as salary and allowances to the Lord .Mayor : His regular salary . 15,822 8 4 From the Bridge-house estate For breakfasts and dinners in attending Courts of Con servancy on the river Thames Sundry expenses at the Manaion. house Fitting up Guildhall on Lord Mayor's-day......... 410 16 11 For sundry sums paid in lieu of table at the Man sion-house Repairing his stables Votes of thanks on vellum 3B 17 0 A damask entertaining gown 39 4 0 Gold lace for ditto In lieu of providing furniture at the Mansion-house 100 0 0 £11,042 18 3 The purchase of the right of alienation of the officers of the Lord Mayor's household To which add a very considerable sum for the expenses of the Lord Mayor's or City barge. We find there arc a very great number of officers, clerks, and servants of the corporation, many of whom are receiving very large salaries, besides numerous fees and allowances of various kinds, amounting, together with the above, to upwards of 60,0001. a year. There are also numerous other salaries, fees, and allowances, amount ing to a large sum, which do not appear in those accounts. We find the following amongst many other tradesmen's bills : X r. d. George Colebatch, carpenter ... ... 3,800 0 0 Samuel Elliott, painter ... 1,219 2 6 Arthur Taylor, printer ... 980 2 0 Jonathan Ede, smith ... 1,102 6 0 John Rider, or printing sermons .. 70 14 0 W. L. Newman, solicitor ... ... 4,882 9 3 Of which law expenses of Alderman Winchester, in his contest with Mr. Wilde, amounting to 1,5001. form a part, we understand. Theestates and leasehold property of the city are composed of about 6,090 tenements and houses, (producing a rental of 46,8531. 19s. 100.) a very large portion of which are let on most ruinous terms. That which is described to be situated in Conduit-weed, comprising about 600 houses in Haaover.square, Maddox-street, Albemarle street, Grafton-street, Bond-street, Conduit-street, and several other streets in that neighbourhood, is let for 3,4361.45. bd. per annum for ever, upon leases renewable every 14 years, by paying a pre mium every 14 years, equal to from five to seven years' rent, which averages less than 61. a year each, and a premium of about 381. every 14 years, !Or houses which are let in many instances at from 2001. to bOOL per annum. We find the property within the city to consist of about 2,000 to nements or houses, which are let at a rental of 33,3661. ls. sd. averaging less than 171. each; they are situated in evey part of the city, many of them in the most public thoroughfares and best situa tions for business, and are now worth in many instances 1001. to 21101. per annum. A great portion of them are let upon similar terms to the Conduit-mead estate, with this difference, that in the city leases the premium payable every 14 years equal to 7 years' rent, may be paid at any period within 61 years, by paying ft per cent. in. terest from the end of every 14 years. The consequence of this en. rious system of letting property is frequent compromising with the tenants upon the best terms that can be obtained. We find there is a charge of 111.45. made to every tenant for his lease, exclusive of the stamp, which is divided amongst various of. ficers and clerks of the corporation, who derive from this source very large income: the precise amount weave unable to ascertain; but from the Conduit-mead estate alone they receive upwards of 6,0001. every fourteen years, and taking that estate to contain about GOO houses, it forms only about one-tenth of the whole number of houses belonging to the city. Most of those officers and clerks re ceive large salaries and fees and allowances besides. This charge being considerably more than is commonly paid, it is unjust towards the tenants particularly, as the only difference between the new and the old leases, in many instances, is merely inserting $ different name and year. We also think it a great hardship upon tradesmen an d l a bourers, who, in order to obtain the means cf subsistence within the city, are compelled to take out their freedoms, to boob. Balance 4.314.604 8 11 Of which balance about 40,0001. was expected to 1a , ., called for an 4 few days. We find the city is in debt to the amount of 256,5141. 10s. 50 and it has come to our knowledge that the sum of 431,0001 In.. been borrowed upon the Bridge-house estre Cu building the Le .. London-bridge, besides 1.000,01101. sterling to make the appro.'. dt . thereto, on the security of the Orphans' Fund. In the prosecution of our office, we find the following sum,. haac been paid into the Chamberlain's hands, of which nu particulars 01 any kind have been submitted to our inspection and examination : Tolls, &c. collected for improving the navigation 1:, s. d. of the river Thames westward of London-bridge 16,200 12 3 Sewers' Rate .. .. ... 12,304 IS 10 Consolidated rate for paving, cleansing, and light .. log the city .. ... 53,960 2 It The Orphans' fund, being a duty of 10d. per chal .. tiron on coals ... .. 62,582 13 2 1 , Duty on wine ... ... ... 4,480 12 2i To this fund every apprentice on being bound pays 2s. 6d. and every freeman taking out his freedom pays ss. We further report, that the Chamberlain paid away in the year 1828, 12,7581. 2s. 7d. without having received particulars of tli!.- bursements, namely— To the Keeper of Newgate .. ... £l,OOO 0 0 ..

Ils. Bd. and upon inquiry, are informed this is the first time this item has appeared in those accounts, but we are told that it has in fanner years been appropriated in aid of an Act of Parliament fund for keeping up the navigation of the Thames. We finally report that the account laid before us to audit is the account of the year 1828, which was laid before the Common Coun cil, and ordered to be printed nine months before it was submitted for our inspection, although the Common Hall passed a resol u tion last Midsummer- day, requesting the Chamberlain to have his ac counts in readiness to be submitted to the examination of the audi tors at least one year whir.

The next two pairs picked out bi the cognoscenti were Williams and Brummel, and Parish and kid, and so much on a par were these four, that it was a toss up who should win. Williams is known to possess immense strength, but it is believed that he is more expert with sculls than oars ; on the contrary Bramwell (his partner) is a scientific oarsman. The name of Parish carries great weight in the annals of aquatics, but the length of distance it was asserted would be against him, as be is generally considered a man of short wind ; in other respects he has not his equal ; his partner, although a good man, was however stale. °malty was the best man in the estimation of many that Father Thames ever knew, but his talents have been superseded. His partner, however, was a fresh, strong, and superior oarsman, and many of the Borough swells sported their blunt oo this pair in preference to the others. It is not, however, with rowing as with other sporting amusements; there are so many casualicies to alter the odds, and many of the men who are first raters on a fine calm day, are of no use in high wind and stormy weather. Owing to the unusual fineness of the afternoon, the river was literally crowded with boats • and some of the cutters of the celsbmted Clubs were present. Th e scene was extremely animating; and the banks appeared like moving masses of spectators, anxious to wit. so fine a match. At half past four the men were placed thus to CAM. tend for the prise r. David Eld, Old Swan. and George Butcher, Whitehall, and James Parish, Strand-lane. Charles Maynard, Lambeth. James Castles, Waterloo, and John Goatley, Temple, at Charles Campbell, Westminster. John Harris, Bankside. John Williams, Waterloo; and William Hawkins,Lambeth,and Charles Brumwell, Bank4e. James Dodd, Hungerford. The terms of the match were--six pair of oars, one heat ; to row with the tide from Westminster to Putney Bridge. Nearly an hour before high water the signal was given, and the men went off like lightning, all keeping close together, and being out of the view of their starting-place in less than three minutes. Castles and Camp. bell took the lead slightly, and maintained it pe arl the whole way, coming in first. G see oatley and Harris were ; and Williams and Bnimmell third. The others were distanced. Much money de pended upon the issue, and the result fully proved that the good opinion of the favourite pair was not ill.bestowcd. Parish never rowed worse, and his total defeat will lower him much in the esti mation of the admirers of aquatics. SnooTlxo SIT THE RED HOUSE CLUB AT BATTERSEA. Tuesday a sweepstakes was decided, in which Capt. Ross, Col. Anson, and five olre . embers of the club contended. The shoot ing surpassed any that has been witnessed during the season, and some heavy sums exchanged hands on the occasion. Capt. Ross and Colonel Anson were declared to be ties, and of course had to shoot foe the prise over again. So closely did they contend the match that Col. Anson won only by one bird, the last one shot at by Capt. Ross falling outside the inclosure, though severtly struck. CoRN.EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Jnxic 25.
