Car OF LONDON ELECTION. Yesterday being the first day of the Eleetien, there was a prodigious concourse of Electors, which completel filled the Hall. The business having been opened in the asnal manner, Toe SIIERIFTI professed their determination to preserve the strictest impartiality, and requested of the Livery that they would give a fair hearing to every Candidate who should come forward. The Loan Mayoa first came forward, and said, that upon former occasions he had experienced so 1 much attention from them, that he flattbred himself that he should meet it on the present occasion, al. though he was not the presiding Officer of the present Meeting. In aspiring to the situation of their Representative, he well knew that it was the high. est honour which it was in the power of the City to 1 confer on any individtiel. In consequence of the re signation of one of their old Members (Sir C. Price), it was impossible for hiM to be so blind to the situation he held, and the approbation that he had often met with in the discharge of its arduous duties,as not to pre sent himself to their choice upon this occasion. During the time he had been in office, there had been many most serious political discussions in the city, and his conduct had been often honoured with their appro. bation. He had been Chief Magistrate in arduous times, when the price of provisions, and particularly of hread,, was unusually high : the price of it fob towed the regulation of a positive Act of Parliament, and it had not been in his power to lower it; but he was happy to inform them, that it would be lowered to-morrow. One of the Candidates professed to set lip on the interest of the shipping and trade of the port of London. He thought that he might equally claim the support of that body, as he had been Pre &dent of that Meeting previous to the worthy Alder man. He must state to them, that he had given up hi; entire time to the service of the City, and for that had abandoned all professional pursuits. He felt himself completely an independent man : none of his family had any place under Governmellt.; and if they should ever catch, him asking one, he did not wish or expect to be longer continued in their ser. vice. As to his politics, they were hut little known ii but if they would give him an opportunity of thew. jog them, as their Representative, he trusted that they would meet their approbation.•.-(Sonse .4. phases.) Sir Wm. CCRTTI then presented himself, but the mixed noises of applause and disapprobation were so loud, that it was only possible to collect a small pact of what . he said. „ He thought that after his long and faithful service! in, his public situation, it was unnecessary for him . to trouble, them with prole,. p ious. He had hitherto served thev honestly, faith fully, and to the best of his abilities. his opinions were pretty well known, told he came before them With a conscience clear, and with the same principles Which had ooen met their approbation. lie bad re weseuted them now, for five Parliaments, and he pow trusted, that upon the sage prluciples he should again meet , their support. , He stood before theM without fear sty tjembling, and relied upon the satin support that he 4a4 mot i on forther occasions., • , Mr. Alderman ciimiz then advanced, and wa,s received with enthusiastic applause.
