He should be glad to obey the ite.tructitets of Ins constituents in wardionts assembled, when properly conveyor! to him. lie should not, however, obey any club or junta—lie did not allude to Mr. Thompaun or Mr. Yearon (a laugh)--that might think proper to dictate a line of duty to him. As to return, tie was not • supporter of annual Parliaments; he thought, however, the privilege of voting should be extended to copyist-4,lcm and lessehobileve; Parliaments should also be more frequent : thus far he would go. and nn farther. Mr. R. Tarim& was thankful for the PIE ion he had open the poll; it was higher than lie enjoyed no any former occasion, and he was therefore the more grateful. Ills principles were well known and avowed, and he was happy they met the approbation of his cordinuents. Ile begged to say, that on no beCaajaa h a il be been dictated to by any members of the ward. Mr. SouvilliATE was gratified at the station he enjoyed on the poll. Much had been said on the subject o f dictati o n. He had not been dictated to by either Mr. Thompson or Mr. Faroe, but • .I,g-rioting attempt had been made. (Cries of " Name, name."► Ile would not hesitate to name. This threat or intimidation, or whatrve► it was intended to be, was conveyed to him in two letters; one was signed " H. J. Draper," and the other" W. C. Swift." They required the attendance of him at a meeting of certain clubs, which were formed for the pure se of electing certain efficient officers at the late election.(lnc of these meetings was fronted by persons styling themselves the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty, to ensure the return of lialloway ; and the meeting was appointed to be held at the Cheshire l'heese, Wine OBe►-coun, Fleet street. The letters were lath to the same edict ; they re quired his attendance. If he did not attend they would put the construction upon his absence, that he did nun require their sup port. He treated both enttinitinieat ions with silent contempt. Mr. THOMPSON disclaimed to have participated in any dictation to Mr. Southgate, many gentle:mut. If those persona whose con duct lie had dragged forth that day before the meeting was indis creet, he (Alr. Southgate) at least ought to have covered the naked ness of thole who had hero his friends. Mr. SuITTIWATE was not aware that they had ever been his friends, and as to their conduct it was too naked, he feared, fur him to cover. (A lough.) Mr. GALLOWAY ;es;came forward. As he had not been de premed by detest last year—neither was he likely to be turned giddy by victory now. The same deportment that marked his conduct then would mark it alto row, for he was ready to bow at all times with aithnoission to the opinion of those whose suffrages he solicited as well when that opinion was adverse to him—as when it was in his favour. (Ilear.) Ile had a right to congratulate the %Vied, on his return : they had shown they had known his character, and he was satisfied that they had only to know it. to induce them nut to withhold their confidence from him. In the height of men's seal they were frequently apt to confound things with words. Much misconception, lie thought. seemed to prevail respecting associa tions. An association in itself was neither bad nor good, and par took of the quality of badness or of goodness according to the pur pose fur which it was donned. Ile deprecated the opioottion to in quiry which had been given. into the cooduct and principles of the candidaua who appeared before therm The constituents had a right, an undoubted right, to such an investigation, and could judge from it what the principles of the candidate were—whether they were the tern for them or not. fie hoped that whatever little as. pretties might have developed themselves in the course of the ' elect:oll,am! they Wine but little, %Todd vanish now that the contest was over. Weak men emitted aunt in die hour of victory, whilst wise own saw greater need of discretion, prudence, and catition. (Ilcer.) Ile hoped they would oily now vie with each other in mn tonl good feeling and charitalole atrecticon, and that the Ward of Farringtlon would give an example to the other wards of the City of lan:thou, and to the British nation at large, by promoting the only rivalry worthy to be countenstoced—• rivalry O. attire whu could serve their country best. (Applause.) Mr. firilliths, Mr. Patten, Mr. Beckwith, and Mr. Roberts, then respectively re d thanks, and assured the Ward that they would continue to support the ante principles which first recom mended them to the eupport of the Ward. Mr. nut+ s said there should be a bottom as well ass top to every list, and although hr found himself in the former situation, he attributed it tti the exercise sit an influence to which he would not have recourse : he was thankful fur the support be had received. . _ _ ...... 31r.

Then• we not a more dficient Member of the Common Council in any of those Who had been returned at that election. Mr. Tv amen said, that some should go in, and some should go out. (A laugh.) It was his lot to share the latter fate. tie was satisfied. however, of having discharged his duty faithfully, and retired from the stage of public life with a clear conscience. (Ap plause). . Mr. liawst•D next sddressed the Meeting. They who engaged in the stormy scenes of public life must here little philosophy not to be reconciled to such a disappointment as he had encounters-I. During tne tour year* that he had had the honour of representing them be had served them faithfully, and his present failure was not attributable to any fault they found with Ishii As a representative, but was owing to the discharge of an engagement that was made, and due to another Individual. Ile had been the advocate of mo derate reform. He would repair the edifice of the Constitution. but not consent to is ,Iserthmw. As to dictation, he would do Mr. Thompson and Mr. Feanin the justice to say, that they 11441 never dictated to him. nor he believed to any other member of the Com. menu Council. lle would now retire to the !tomtit of private life, satisfied that he had faithfully discharged his duty to his consti tuents; and they would tied hint out of office as they had ever found him in oilier—their devoted friend and servant. (.Ip plause.) Mr. RAMSIIAW then addressed the 'll'arantote. Ile had so licited their vote on principles distinct. intelligible, and avowed; though defeated for the present, he would be again found ready to , solicit their support on the same iwineildis. and no other. Mr. Tllol4rsux, after the several candidates had addressed the wardmote, vindicate,' I 'it from the charge of dictation. Ile lived all the year in the country ; he was a somber of no club or associatiou he only appeared there once a year, and unless, late the basilisk, there was some enchantment in his appearance, he did not know by what faacination or spell he be 1 men's Merida, to concur in opinion with him. Ile airtight or exercised no advantage but the fair exercise of public discusaion, and that was an influence for all nien to escreise and use. It the election did I,ot fall on the errata,' that were deacreing of support. the hail only to blame Itself. The right of investigating the ',lntel*, of the candi. dates who appeared before them hail been denied by one of their representatives, lint he would contend that such an investiga:ion dal not deserve the epithet of inquisitorial. which had been ap plied to it by a worthy gentleman (Mr. Ticktier). Ile should coaclude by proposiiig a vote of thanks to the no Tubers of the Conarniett I:outsell of la t year for their ward, and in it he would include the MUSIC of Mr. Butterworth, for he perceived that that gentleman not only signed a requisition in favour id reform, but spoke in favour of at also. lie Was Sled to salute SO respectable a gentleman as a brother reformer. He would therefore nine, a vote of thanks to all the numbers of the ward of last year ler their general conduct, which in the present state of general apathy upon public questions was the unite valuable. A lienthanan t:iesed an amontlinent to this resolution, that the l atter part of it n1,11411'1[4 a political sentiment, from which ninny would dissent, whilst they would all agree to the vote of thank*. Mr. tlate.ow ay submitted that the latter part of the revolution only contained a reason for the previous mut, and if it were with drawn, it would deprive the compliment of its chief value. The antenditient was nut put, and the original resolution was unanimmisly carried. Mr. IFEAROS commented at considerable length on the speech of Mr. Tielmer—diselaitutd, on the phut of Mr. Thompson, any intention of dictating to the ard._ maintained the propriety of the questions he hail put to the eactilidates, and the general right of ascertaining the opinions and principles of those wino aspired to the honour of bring their repreitentatives ilobe g--a n orf tv gr i t ti tile n d by ps m e e i k ng rtit a ii s t u y ite wi t t i h f twlihaiLkhs he Al,l,,,,lermaaided over the pr,,,veding, or tire present election. -for the watchfulness he had extended, and argyle?' he had rendered, to the l it ; al interests of the iVard—and for his consistent and able support of the principles of civil and religious liberty. This resolution O is pit by Mr. Deputy Reeve, and caned with acclamation. Alderman WA/rUSIAN had been lately, he might say, sat:, rated with votes of th.inks.

(.Ipplatote.)

I.lp. phone.) He had been now thirty yeas connected with that Ward. When first he became connected with it, ant half of those who com pete:A the present meeting were even I urn. He had since that period posed though the various offices of:Sheriff, of Chief Magistrate,and in each and all he obtained theputprobation and good opinion of his fellow-citizens, the only recompense he had ever ambnioned, or ever would ambition. (Applause.) During all that period his intercourse with this ward was uninterrupted, and one of the MOSS anxious endeavours of his public life was to procure for it that fair weight and importance In the Common Council of the Cil y, to which, limn its extensiveness, its wealth, and its numbers, it was fairly entitled. leelitig Ida Character, therefore, SO bound up and ideuti. lied with the character or the ward, he might, he hoped, be ex. cased for stepping a little litropti the ordinary dutiesof to notice wine of the imputations, which, by one of their Itepresen_ tatters, had been cast upon them. The investigation of the princi. plea and sentiments of their Members hail been described to be dictatorial. What ! would It be said that a body of wets comprising a district that contained four thousand houses, the majority of these houses inhabited by freemen, should delegate men to represent their opinions, without having ascertained their qualifications for the ditty they undertook to discharge ? If this were the case, lie won't' base to unlearn all the sound lessins of policy that bad been tauht by I,oelse, by Blackstone, by Lord Somers. and by some of tC, boost and wiliest writers on the laws and lihertica of England. If it were an intol,ratote tynoony to ask men who aspired to the repretedution of s public body, then he had frequently beena dict a tor and a n inquisitor, for both in that (Void, and oio 11.(Tall011/1 of returning hlemben to Parliansent, lie had en. dravoured to ascertain die political opinions of those he supported. at.d lie was al ways equally ready 0t avow his own.

It happened that he lull met with a book that very day, In which lie read that Lonl Castlereagh, helore he was returned to Parliament, signed a pledge that he would support Parliamentary Reform. Mr. Pitt had made a • •liir pledge, and if pledges of this kind were signed and sealed, would it lie an inquisitorial dictation to obtain a deelaration of a candidate's rendinents ? No man had a right to Impute improper motives to another for any political sentiments he might entertain. advocate of moderate Reform had no right to import the motives of the advocate for annual parliaments and universal suffrage ; lie should not be denounced as a revolutionlst. Fur his own part he was nut now, nor at any forma time, an ad. vocals for Annual Parliaments or Universal Suffrage. lie took his stand on the Bill of Rights. Parliaments should be frequent and I free : so said the Bill of Rights. Now, he would ask, were they either free ur frequent? They were neither the one nor the other. Ile only wished boor such reformation as was proportionate to the iccreased enlightenment of the age. Every department of science and of art was making daily progress among mankind • and was constitutional science the only one that should be marked as never to improve or advance ? Ile wished to cultivate discussloo no those topics ; it served to the instruction of the people, and this benefit was derivable from it, that it served to show them they differed less in opinion fnoin each, tither than, before the dismission, they were disposed to believe. Men by these discussions were led to be of the opinion of one of the writers he had before quoted--" That they rather misunderstood each other than disagreed." Ile was in duced in speak more at length than lie intended to have done, from what had fallen front one of their members (we believe Mr. Tickner); he thanked them for their renewed approbation of his conduct ; and would pursue the same lice of conduct by which he had so long enjoyed the possession of their good (Applause.) Thanks were voted to Mr. Wilson, the Churchwarden, for the accommodation of the Church ; and, on the motion of Mr. Har mer, (the Solicitor.) thanks were voted to Mr. Thompson, for his services to the Ward, accompanied with an expression of regret that he intended to take no port in their future proceedings. Mr. WI Laos and Mr. THOM P4UN respectively returned thanks, after which the customary oath was administered to die Members of the Common I 'ouncil on whorls the choice of the Ill'ardoode hail rollout ; after which the Meeting was dissolved at half-past eight o'clock in the evening. The body of the Church was crowded to excess to the boor of the breaking up plebe nieeting. Several ladies occupied the gal. levies, and the result of the election excited a lively interest in the neighbourhood of the church and throughout the Ward. LIME WARD. APPROPRIATION or WARD-RATES TO DINNERS. Wartt this Word, Mr. PRI NC r. atidnauil the following written observation to the Alderman : "Sea-1 beg to call your attention toe subject which I consider I to be of the greatest inipurtanee, ma only to this ward, but to the City at large. What may be said its the contrary, no one eau doubt that the present contest has originated from a diflinenee of opinion as to the right of appropriating particular rates to the pay ment of what is miler! the expenses of the Common Couneil ; that ra, the chnrges for the dinners. lam decidedly (Arminian, that such appropriation of money, raised for a specific purpose to another in tio way provided for by the Act, is illegal, as well as unjust. The majority of the old Cumulus' sre of opinion that it is legal, and your lb putt', klt. Price, has defended the practice, not only as being legal in itself, hut as being rendered valid by the sanction of the inhabitants, as well es by the authority of custom. You, Sir, have expressed a doubt as to the legality (tithe practice. 3ly opinion of the law can have no weight, but it is of the greatest int. penance that the question should be settlail, that discord in the ward may be avoided in future, and that, if the practice be not sanctioned by the law. it may be totally abolislierl. With these impressions, and relying on the care you have always manifested fur the strict administration of the law anti the protection of the in terests of your fellow-citizens. I beg that you will take the opinion of the City Solicitor, on the following important questions : " Can any ward rate whatever. levied by Act of Parliament for a specific purpose, be legally applied to any other purpose by the Common Council of the ward ? Will the unction of the wardinote, or of the majority of the inhabit:iota of the want, rctulcr such as application of the ward rams valid " If the sanction of the warihnote Will not legalise such applica tion of rates to other purposes than those provisiesl for by the Act, Intat pen-01 Ity shi thu per making Will illegal applications incur ?" Alderman Ilnitiogs, after considering these questions with rare, said he believed that such an application of the ward-rates was ilk gsl, and he regretted there hut bong gone misunderstanding of that opinion on a former day. Ile expressed his willin:;ness to have the question settled in the manner proposed. Mr. Patcc said he had not intended by any means to say that such an appropriation or the ward-rates WAS authorised by Art of Parliament. ‘Ve understood the gentleman, however, to say. that lie retained his opinicia as to the practice being sanctioned by the ward. Mr.l►.eSTr Lid he considered such an application of the ward. rates illegal. . Sonir further conversation took place amangat the candidates near the Alderman. but we wile linable to collect more than the general admission, that the appropriation of the wanbcates to the payinvnt of such expenses was lint sanctioned by the Act, though they all believed that it was sanctioned by custom and thought that the ntovt indispensable objects in the ward would be unprovided fur, if Thee were nut allowed to avail themselves of tlteir fund. Pat xcE (amerced. th,t the denial of the legality of the practice now could make no dilfercuce in the ca.c, if the practice Were allowed to continue._ Alderman Bridges forthwith sent the questions to the City So licitor, desiring the answers to be given as spec.itly as possible, but during the wurdniote none sere received. It appeared to be the object of Mr. Prince to obtain them during the day. Whilst the election 11.111 proceeding, Mr. Prince, in allusion to a dinner which took place amongst the inhabitants op the previous day. jocularly asked the Malt:mum how he fared. The Aldeintan said he fared exceedingly will, that he was a friend to such dinner., i 3 conscepirtme of the harmony andood feeling they promoted iu the ward, and that he always pa id his 'hare.
