Lim. He thanked thens molt cordially ; act if they were not sufficiently rewarded by the great victory they had gsiued,it war utterly out of his power to make them any compensation, but his poor ack~wwledgmrnts. He should alwayis look ulion that as the proudest day of his life, and the most tienourable for the City of London. He thanked' them moat cordially.—(lieiterated acciaraotioxs.j Alderman THORP was happy to take this oppor tunity of renewing his thanks to the Liven, after the unexampled coolest they had passed throagh, fond of congratulating them on the strength of the poll, and the result of the Election. They had by their exertions •hewn that the cause of freedom was dear to the citizens of London. He hoped that the history of their success would be re-echaed from one end of the kingdom to the other, and that it would shew freemen they need only endeavour, and con quer. The honour had been offered to him. and he could not refuse it. In coming forward at the call, he h4l made pledges of principle, which it would be the study of his life to redeem. In re turning thanks to those friends who bad taken hint up in the beginning, he was bound at the same time to offer leis •ckuowledgnirmtts to those gentle men who had so nobly sod handsomely promoted his cause towards the end—who felt • laudable anxiety for the success of • favourite, but united with it a zeal for the common cause—the cause of indrpendewce.--(Appla•se.J--He accepted the sacred trust at their hands. Ha assured them he shoulil act upon the firmest principles of independ ence and integrity. He should stand boldly for ward on all occasions where his services could be useful. He should render up the deposit unsullied and u jured. Their cause should not suffer th►oesgh him.—(Applause.) Mr. OLDHAM then came forward to propose a vote of thanks to their late Representative, Sir J. Shnw. Though he had the misfortune to differ :.nth that Gentlemen on some points, yet as he had nobly stood forward to oppose the suspension of that Act justly denominated the bulwark of their liber ties, he deemed him entitled to the thanks of the Livery of London. Besides, he had been the firm and manly supporter of the rights of the City of London in Parliament. •nd had moreover acted in the most honourable manner in resigning his sent. Mr. OLOgatt then proposed a Resolution embo dying the above sentiments, which was seconded by Mr. SAVARI. The Resolution was read and carried unani mously. Mr. FAVRLL then proposed a vote of thanks to the two Sheriff., Sir Francis Desanges and Sir G. Alderson, for their firm and upright conduct, ur banity, and impartiality during the late Election ; which being seconded by Mr. Robert Willson (brother to the Member) was put in the regular way. and carried unanimously. The Sheriffs severally returned thanks, and the Resolutions were ordered to be signed by the Sec►e tsry, and published in the usual Morning and Evening Papers. THE BRMSII PRESS. LON DON, FRIDAY, Jute 26, tale. To consequence of some paragraph. in the Public Prints, several Electors of Middlesex met at the Crown and Anchor, at eight o'clock last night, for the purpose of considering the propriety of put ting in nomination some Gentleman to represent that County instead of Mr. Mxt.usit, the present Government Candidate. At the hour mentioned in some of the public Prints, several Gentlemen attended, but there was no appearance of any preconcerted arrangement for business. Inquiries were made and repeated among the Gentlemen present for the purpose of ascertaining the object of this Meeting ; but no satisfactory answer could beobtsined. Mr. BROOKS and Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT were questioned on the subject, but all they knew was from the public notice given in the Papers . The Proprietor of the tavern said, the Meeting had been called by a Gen tleman who was an utter stranger to him. Mr. GARDNER (a Freeholder of Middlesex) said, th:tt as the Meeting had been now detained a canal 4..rahle time after the hour mentioned in the public Prints, it was necessary something should he done iii furtherance of the avowed object of the Meeting. The Election would take place to-morrow (this sh”) at ten o'clock, and it was high time to inquire if Mr. BENNET (as was intimated) had consented to he put in nomination. If that Gentleman de churl, accepting the invitation, the Electors might fix upon anmebody else. A gflieral cry was made for a Chairman, and Major CiarwaiGwr, wlso had just entered the room (attracted, as he said, merely by the public notification of the business, and not any knowledge of the parties concerned). took the Chair amid the applause of the Meeting. The CHAIRMAN desired to know the business of the Meeting, and declared himself read; to receive any proposition from any Gentleman pee.enr. Here again the difficulty occurred of there not being any person present who was immediately ac quainted with the intentions of those through whom the Meeting was notified. Some Gentlemen inquired how it happened that Mr. BENNET's name had been introduced, otwera ing, that Mr. B. w.is absent frotn town, and had jest been electtd for Slireiv.liiiry. A young man in the room said. that he had aces- Lon on private business to call at Mr. limner's house that evenitig. Mr. B. had arrived there at men o'clock; his servant mentioned that dinner was ordered for bun, but that he could 'not tell whether his matter would attend the present Nett ing. Mr. Litstirrait came forward and said, th it he inhered Mr. Etaim (whom we understood to be • respectable G.-salmon in the City) was to have waited on Mr. Beaux? that evening. He there• fore urged the Meeting to wait a little longer, as the business was of so much importance. After a considerable delay, and no appe•r•nte of Mr. EKART, Mr. GALE Joan (140 had entered with Mr. HUNT and other Gentlemen) addressed the Meet ing, and recommended that some other Gentleman should be put in nomination for the County of Middlesex, as it was quite clear no answer could be now expected from Mr. Beaux?. Mr. LIIMAITRI expressed a wish that Mr. HENRY B•attta should be put in nomination. He was R Gentlemen las the Chairman knew) of fine Whig principles. He had been lately disappointed at an election, and was a very likely man to enter into the contest for Middlesex with his heart and his purse. The CHAIRM•N regretted that he could not make any answer to the appeal made to him, as he had not the honour of being known to oily of Mr. BARING'S family. There being no appearance of any effective busi ness being done, and the hour advancing late, the CHAIRMAN urged that either some propo■ition should be made, or that the Meeting should be dissolved. A desultory conversation then arose at eleven o'clock ; some Gentlemen were or opinion that the Meeting (however ineffectively managed) ought not to sepa►ate without doing something. It was re peatedly said that Mr. BENNIE? would not quit his Shrewsbury friends. The name of his brother, Lord OSSULSTOW, was mentioned, but it was said the Nable.Lord, though full of excellent princi ples, was deficient in that sort of oratorical talent which would produce effect at a contested election. Mr. iir•eant thought that little oratorical talent was necessary to cope with Mr. Mettasn, the Court Candidate. Mr. BILTANT asked, why they would not call on Mr. PTV, or Bedford ? Mr. WYTHERSTON (of Southwark) replied, be cause Mr. PYM hsd declared he would not cocoon• ter a contested election. Mr. W. then suggested the propriety of sending a requisition to the Hon. Mr. CAYINDIIIII, who is now a Candidate at the Aylesbury election. This led to some conversation on the impossibi lity of conveying the reqnisition in sufficient time to make it effective. Mr. CAVINDIIIII was stated to be 30 or 40 miles from town, and the election being fixed for ten o'clock to-morrow (this day) at Brent ford, it was alleged that no communication could be had with him for the necessary arrangements. The Requisition was, howfver, prepared, and ordered to be transmitted, and at half-past eleven o'clock thanks were voted to the venerable Chair man, and the Meeting separated. The Hustings at Covent-garden, last morning, presented no feature of novelty, except that the multitude strictly catechised the Electors as they cattle to poll, cheeriog those who professed them selves supporters of the popular Candidates, and hissing those who appeared to ha the friends of Sir M. MAIWin.L. We noticed yesterday the question with respect to the right or the Inhabitants or St. Martin's-le- Grand to vote for Westminster, which was argued on Tuesday by M►. SIIIRROW and Mr. BLAIN, as Comae! for Sir S. RONILLY in support of the right, by Mr. Ems and Mr. PRTIRS, for Sir FRANCIS BURDSTT on the ISM side, and by Mr. ADOL.. pays, fur Sir M. MARIVILL, against the right. Last morning the High Bailiff decided in favour of the Inhabitants, the whole of whom afterwards voted for RONILLY and BuRDETT.

Yesterday afternonn the Essex road was one mai noted scene of bustle and gaiety, from the numerous vehicles, horsemen, &c. hurrying alms; to witness the above ex ploit between those celebrated pedestrians. The company were, in general, of the moat respectable description.— Rayner, whose fame as a runner was considered perfectly established, had undertaken to give Rlnmsell the extraor dinary advantage of two minutes and a half at starting; and so samnine were his friends of the certainty of his %access, that hettitix to a greater extent before the day of trial, and upon the ground, has not heels witnessed for ninny years. Two to one was current betting, and in many instance* higher; its fact, so much did this cunfi &nee even operate npon the fakers, who had hitherto . roacied the Painter, that in a few minutes not a het coidi be obtained. The capabilities of Blumsell the sporting world wete no strangers to, from bits having recently run sine utilertbrnugh the streets of London and up Highgate Hill, also against bad weather, in four minuet's lets than an hour. Still the speed of Rayner was so much veined, as to uttermost elvers other comnileration. At half-past seven o'clock Blitinsell appeared at the sth nt , le stone, with only a very short pair of drawers on and light half-boots, and started. The distal ee was one mile out and back again.
