Our wish was, from the first, to see the business effected without that general commotion which usually attends such an event. It was our aim, as far as lay in our power, by the few remarks which we made on the subject, to allay the contention of opinions, which has in general agitated the whole social machine on similar occasions—to subdue, by calm reason, those petty jealousies which sometimes divide men on some trivial point, who would otherwise most cordially unite in pursuing objects of paramount importance—to introduce a spirit of concilia tion and tolerance into the minds of parties which had be• fore been opposed to each other, in many cases rather in appearance than in reality—sni to strengthen, if possible, the party (if party we can call it) of those whose object is Lena . fine to promote, by every means in their power, both natidnal and universal prosperity. Happily the promotion of these objects did not depend entirely on such feeble efforts as ours. The wisdom of his Majesty's Aliuisters had provided the means of securing this desirable end, by forbearing to excite any useless opposition against nien whose principles may in some cases be erroneous, but whose motives are pure, while their numbers and influence are not sufficient to give currency to their errors. For this *won we confess we differ from some whose way of think ing in general coincides with our own. We rejoice to see site Westminster election terminate so peaceably. We re joim to see Sir F. BURDETT and Mr. Honnouss returned to the House of Commons, not because our opinions and *sits in many cases are not as distant as antipodes— aft because we think that no other p e rsons could be Mad who could represent Westininster more effec tally ; but because we sincerely think that such men ars useful in a deliberative assembly; and because, after all, we believe that in many essential points they are di•posed to support Ministers in their labours fur the good of the country. In spite of all that can be said, the peo ple of England are of no party. They have too much good sense nut to see who their real friends are, and though mo mentarily led astray, they never fail soon to return to a sound and rational way of thinking. However paradoxical mach an assertion might have seemed seven years ago, we will venture now to affirm, without hazarding any such reproach,—because few who look at the state of the public mind will differ from us,—that most of the electors of West moister, if Mr. CANNING had been put in nomination, would actually have divided their votes between the Radi cal and the Tory : so fully persuaded are the people of Westminster that patriotism, like truth, is of no party, or be found in all. The unfortunate circumstances are said to have occurred at Carlisle, have, we hope, very much exaggerated. Such accidents in a country Ws this, and at a time of so much popular excitement, it Sisal of the reach of human foresight entirely to prevent; but while we regret the calamity, we cannot help deriving from it a motive of congratulation to the nation, since it snows to what lengths things might have been carried in places of more population and importance, if Ministers had nit wisely forborne to rouse the passions of the populace by contesting the elections in the way that has been usual at melt places as Westminster. CITY, Felony Evzxtiro. Election polities rather than Stock Eazhange speculations were thought of to-day, and the state of the poll was more talked of than . the grice of Consols.

Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia visited the Princess Augusta. The Earl of Chatham, Governor of Gibraltar, transacted business with Earl Bathurst yesterday, at the Colonial Office. Yesterday Baron S:iernhold, the Swedish Minister, transacted business at the Foreign Office. On Thursday Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Iluskisson, and a select party, dined with the Marquis of Stafford. Mr. Secretary Canning left the party much sooner than he intended, inconsequence of its being communicated to him that a party of the electors of iVestinitister were waiting to see him, at his residence in Downing-street. Mr. Secretary Canning left town yesterday morning, to attend the Ascot Races. Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, Mr. Iluskisson left London, on his way to Liverpool. LIVERPOOL.—A letter was read, in Clayton-square, this evening, from I'. Green, dated at Manchester, June 8, ad dressed to the Independent Freemen of Liverpool, stating, after the needful and necessary information of his arriving there, at 8 o'clock, last evening, that lie had waited upon Mr. Houldsworth, but, like Counsellor Williams, he was from home, having gone to Pontefract to offer himself for that place • but Mr. Green saw his nephew, who was highly plea sed with die invitation of so respectable a body. Mr. Green wished the Meeting to proceed to business, and supposing that Mr. Houldsworth would not or could not come to Liverpool, the Meeting were requested to show hands in favonr of proposing Major Gaacoyne, the son of the General, and to join the procession, to-morrow, of the entre of General Gascoyne, at 1 o'clock. It would appear that they are really afraid of having an unusual affair in Liverpool, " a dry election." CONCITILT.—Last night Miss Woolrych's concert was n at the Argyll Rooms, and was most numerously ani fashionn!ly attended. The pieces performed consisted principaliy of selections from Mozart, Ciinarosa, and Ros sini. One cf the most successful (-Worts of the evening was " Una voce poco fa," by Mademoiselle Cauzi ; it was deservedly encored. A military concerto on the harp, by Miss Woolrych, displayed considerable taste and great power of execution. The Signori Gambati performed • duet on two trumpets, and evidenced great command over their instruments. Though there was much merit in this effort, the comparatively small size of the rooms rendered the n3ise decidedly objectionable—it was enough to "split the ears of the groundings." We cannot say the same of Mr. Sapio's voice, which, in" Non piu Andrei;" was over powered by the accompaniment. He was, to use the l'ar liamentary phrase, inaudible in the gallery. Miss Paton was prevented by indisposition ; and, as a sort of make weight, we suppose " I've been roaming," was entrusted to Miss Love, who sung it with more of pertness than that naivete which has rendered it so popular. One of II ny in's productions closed the performances of the evening. r THE BRITISH PR ESS. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. All the avenues to the Guildhall presented, at an early hour yeeterday morning, the symptoms of an approachi g contested elect•en. The friends of the various candidates put lore/not placards 1 with devices, to indicate th e ir respective Merits. On Mr. Width. i man's placards were printed, in conspicuous clianiacrs, "The Ft lend of the Rights of lilt City." Mr. 'thompson's name was I coupled with Commerce." The Lord Mayor was designated as the " Friend of the Distressed Silk-weavers," in allusion to his late benevolent exertions in their behalf. " Wood and Li berty" was as conspicuons as either, and " Ward and Ir.- dependence" was to be seen in junta-position with every other ' placard. The friends of the candidates were busy in support of , their respective parties. There was a great crowd outside the Hall as early as ten o'clock, but the door was rot opened till twelve, when the rush was tremendous. In a short time the Hall was nearly • filled, and before the Candidates arrived it was crowded to suffoca tion. The two small galleries were crowded with ladies, who seemed to enjoy the scene. The lady of Alderman Thompson and her sister were among the number. It was impossible to distinguish the Candidates as they ap. proached the hustings ; but. they were made known by the cheers and shouts of the people at the door, which were readily repeated by the assembled multitude. The proclamation was read by the City Crier, and the election writ and bribery oaths by the Secondary. The usual oath was administered to the Sheriff's by the senior Alderman. After which, The LOAD ltlavoa came forward to the front of the timings to address the Meeting. He commenced by saying, that although he had often addressed the Livery in common hall assembled, he never had had the honour of appearing before them to solicit their suffrages. It was a source of great emb arras sment, to Ihint, that it was his lot to address then first, although he felt that lie was the least qualified to do :13. They were all met for the mime object, namely, the advancement of the City of London, and he trusted that, whatever the issue of the con test might be, the choice of the electors would fall on the most deserving candidates. (Cheering.) Nothing but the warm assurances of support from a numerous and respectable body of the electors would have induced him to present himself to the Livery. to solicit the honour of a seat in Parliament ; but encouraged by the assurances of support which he had received, he took the liberty of offe.ing himself as a candidate for their suffrages. (Applause, and some Meas.) Ile begged to assure the meeting that he felt the importance of the trust which they had to confer; and he should not be then before them. applying fur so responsible a situation as that of their Representative, if he had not been urged to it by the ardent wishes of hit friends; but if elected, he would assure them that he would faithfully and diligently discharge the duties of that high station. Although he would not enter at large upon the several topics upon which a Member of the begin. lature would be called upon to exercise his judgment, he thought he should but Imperfectly discharge his duty to the Livery if he did not mention some or those principles by which he intended to be actuated. He had always considered the representation of the City of London a trust of great importance, involving interests of great magnitude; and sensible of the high importance of such a trust before he commenced a canvass, he had made diligent in quiries as to the persons who might offer themselves for the honour of its representation, and among the rest inquired of his prate essor, Ald. Garrett, if he should offer himselt as a candidate, and that gentleman assured him that nothing would induce him to do so. That circumstance he stated without any feeling of displea sure, as he was sure that gentlemen was ro party to the exertions which were making to procure his return. lie wished again to be understood as making that remark without any personal feeling; he was of opinion that the Importance of this City depended on its constitution, and upon its commercial interests: by the one he meant constitutional liberty, and by commerce lie meant the free exercise of industry, and not those vain speculations which had been the ruin of many. Bred, as he had been, to trade and manu factures, he hoped he was sufficiently conversant with busi ness to attend to the trade, commerce, and navigation of the City of London ; and at no time was it more necessary that practical men should be in Parlianient to attend to those interests. He allotted to the present doctrine of free trade, which had been put forward by his Majesty's Government; and although he admitted the soundness of the principles upon which these doctrines were sup ported, he thought they required to be carried into operation with great caution. (Disapprobation.) At all events to be beneficial he contended that they must be universal in their application.(Cheers.) What greater anomaly could there be than the alteration in the laws relating to the shipping interest, whilst the Corn Laws re mained unrepealed ? (Cheers.) Upon that point his mind was made up ; he was decidedly of opinion that the laws preventing the importation of foreign corn should be changed. The effect of those laws was to increase the rental of landlords one hun dred per cent. There was one other subject to which he wished to advert, and that subject, which was of great im portance, had been scarcely noticed of late. (Great uproar.)-- It was a subject which he treeed with great moderation, particu larly, as Chief Magistrate of the (Ay of London, he found himself bound to do. This ci , ) , had suffered much on former occasions by the agitation of that question. (Great uproar.) As some impa tiens was manifested by the meeting, he would not dwell longer on the subject, but, if elected, he would readily lisien to the advice of his constituents. (Cheers.) And he would entreat of the Livery, as they valued civil and religious freedom, not to be betrayed into any unbecoming expression or manifestation of feeling on the subject. With respect to the Slave Trade, be always looked upon it with horror and dismay, and every propo.seion for its gradual abolition should have his cordial support. (Cheers.) He had no more doubt of the propriety of a Reform In Parliament than he had of his own existence (hear), and that nothing but the rash and crude notions of some of its advocates prevented its accom plishment ; and If he should be returned hr would, as far as in his power, operate as a salutary check upon his Majesty's Minister., but not as an embarrassment to them. He was also a friend to the education of the people, and wished that education to be founded on the Bible. With respect to the public expenditure. he would be a friend to its reduction as far as consistent with public today. Ile begged to return the Livery his most sincere thanks for the pa tience wi h width they had heard him, end he assured them that if elected he would perform hisdutles with diligence, zeal, and fidelity. Alderman Wool) rAtt presented himself. Notwithstanding an air of gooti.humoureff confidence which ho assumed, the mingled hisses anti, shouts of applause prevented him from addressing the assembly for some minutes. As soon as order was somewhat re stored, he commenced by saying that the Livery were met for the ' purpose of exercising their great and Constitutional right of elect ing fit persons to represent the City of London in Parliament, and he would take the libert) , to implore a patient hearing, not only for himself, but also for each of the Candidates who might present them. selves to the Livery for their suffrages. If he had done anything to displease his fellow-citizens. he only asked to be heard (hear, hear), and he would be ready to give an explanation. He had on five occasions solicited the suffrages of the Livery, and in coming forward for the sixth time, he would ask if there was a man in that great assemblage who could say that he (Alderman Wood) had ever neglected the application of any individual or of any body, when an appeal had been made to him for his interference. of there was any such person in the Hall, he wished to give him an opportunity, and should be happy to hear him state his complaint. He did not set up for infallibility, but be wished to be heard in defence of any complaint that might be made (hear, hear); and it would be afterwards for the Livery to decide, by the state of die poll, what was their opinion respecting his conduct. He had as much solicitude for the interests of the City of London as any man could have. It IA been said by some persons that it requ:red a particular character to represent the Cityof London. He would ask, had he neglected the commercial, the shipping, or the trading in terests ? On what occasion was he absent from his post whenever a discussion was expected to take place respecting either of these, or any other interest connected with his constituents ? (Hear.) Ile had often eat twelve hours in the House of Commons without de. setting his post, whilst any interest connected with the city of Lon don was occupying the attention of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) He would ask the bankers, merchants, and traders, whether It required any particular talents to attend to their interests, or whether the qualifications which he possessed, namely, perseverance, zeal, and ' lndustry, and he would add honesty, were not the great requisites in their Reareertative .-He warWl also. ask whether be had any interest in the course which he pursued ? There had beet some other objections made to his Parliamentary conduct; but, instead of a speech, he would appeal to his votes for his de fence, as it would not be necessary for him to enter upon all the subjects which had occupied Parliament whilst he had a teat in that House. He would again say, that his hest explanation would be a reference to his votes in Parliament; and he wished particu. tarty that such persons as complained of hie being always opposed to Ministers, would refer to those votes. Upon the important question of the Corn Laws he had voted with Ministers; and the only point connected with that question, upon which he differed with nisters, was that they had not gone far enough, or rather, that they began at the wrong end; as he thought, it was unfair towards the commercial interests, to begin the new system with them. But, whether the Administration was Whig or Tory, lie voted against the useless expenditure of that public money which was principally drawn from the industry and labours of the community. (Cries of giving his vote publicagainst increase respectt loan hear, hear.) He had sat in the House of Criminate, night titer night, a u n n y ien p a. ropis H it esir ion , h w ea bi r c . h ) went to important question which had sprang up in the course of the pre. sent election, he did not wish to interfere with the opinions of his constituents; but sans mislabels had gone abroad respecting his sentiments, and what he had said in Parliament upon that ques tion ; and, as some of his fellow-citisens differed with him respect ing the question to which he alluded, he would state what occurred in the House of Commons on that occasion ; and lie was the more anxious to do so, as the gentlemen of the press seldom agreed In their reports of his speeches. (Laughter.) What he stated oc curred on the presentation of a petition, when he took the opp°r tunic), of saying that no meeting had taken place in the city of London in reference to the subject ; and, If any such meeting had taken place, he would have left it his duty to attend ; even if a meeting had tot beat called as the hall of the city, he would have attended at any meeting called for the purpose. lie had stated that his constituents had to delivered their sentiments, and he also stated at the same time that be would willingly reed,. the instructi ons of his constituents--that If he differed with them, he would endeavour to explain his femme and opinions, and, if they continued to disagree in opinion with him, lie would resign into their hands the trust with which ,hey had tunoured him. He would now appeal to the Livery whether an n eating had beet held, or wheth er any suc h h a d been called ? And he would there. fore say to them, that they were to blame fir not Cliverin " g th ei r sentiments; as, upon a question of so much napitude, it was natural that men would differ. Mr. Pitt thrught it would be of great benefit to the country to setae the questio n , granting_ air. tale ectoceselooa. ( hare pewee is the creed c oat, " what question do you mean ?" To which the worth) Alderman made no reply ; but we believe his observations had reference to the (.a. thnlic question.) He said, it was rot in the power of any man to plume all ; but he would submit. Ills conduct to his fellow-citizens, and he would abide by their opinions. He would poll to the last man, and he hoped the result would prove the favourable opinion of the Livery Inwards him; and, in appealing to his constituents, he thought he was to be 'tied by the best tribunal. (Here there was a cry of " No Popery !" to which the worthy Alderman re plied, ~ N u persecution i" and withdrew amid great cheers.) wenithanconla considerable c cheering.the T ea h t e ne upr f o o a r r w c a o rd n . tin a u n a d i f s o a r s som re e . minutes. er When a bearing could be obtained, he said, that lie be. dieted he had oftener addressed the Livery in that place than any man living, or perhaps than any man who had gone before him ; upon no occasion had he addressed them on his own ' behalf, but always in support of their rights; and the duty of upholding their rights he could better discharge than the task of recommending hiniself. (Cheers.) The Livery were then met for the purpose of discharging one of the most important—he would say, the most important, dodo., which as freenteti they could exercise, and he was sure they would discharge it independently. Other ' countries had their monarchies, but in this country there was acheck to that power in the Representatives of the people. Ile had heard a great deal said about supporting Government, and that was termed loyalty ; but such uniform adherence to Govern. merit was of that species of loyalty which had driven some of die Monarchs of England from the Throne. Ile thought the fairest claim to leyalty was belonging to the man who used his beat endeavours to procure the adoption of such measures as he thought tended most to the benefit of his country, and if he did not succeed to the extent of his wishes, would, as far as in hint lay, shape those measures as nearly as he could to the promotion of public good ; and be would also think it loyalty to look with a scrutinizing but candid eye into the conduct of the Administration. (Hear, hear.) He had head a great deal of *het he could not but term nonsense, respecting the oecessity of supporting particular branches of trade; but his plan, if he should get a sell in Parliament. would be the support of all. He thought, as the general interests of the commu nity were so dependent on each other, that It would be ab surd to require of a candidate to support any one exclu sively. No man had a higher opinion of commerce titan he had, bta he could not support it at the. expense of other interests. He considered that agriculture and commerce should go together for the benefit and support of all ; but whilst commerce and agriculture were attended to, was the middle trader to have no person who represented his interest ? The fact was, that there were so many interests, that the Representative who voted with a view to the interests of all would beet perform his duty. He regretted the late failures among bankers and other leading interests, and be sincerely sympathized in their sufferings ; but he must recollect that there had been lately upwsrds of one hundred bankruptcies amongst the middle traders. and he had heard very little sympathy expressed for their distress. (Cheers.) There was the authority of the Secretary of State for saying, that for every bankruptcy which occurred there were four instances in which indi viduals had compounded with their creditors; and when those cala mities were considered, was it aonderful that so many artisans were starving, or partially supported in workhouses ? (Cheers.) He would again say that it was by attending to the interests of all that national greatness and wealth was produced ; nor was it by a par. tial support of particular interests, but by a general diffusion of the blessings of the constitution, that the liberties of all were seemed. The rights and liberties of the people were never granted to them as a favour, but sprang from the efforts of their own Repre sentatives in Parliantert ; and he would now say, that even if no further accession of liberty could be obtained, they might ar least raise an embankment, to prevent any trespass upon the present li :settles of Englishmen. (Cheering.) He felt the great inconve. nience at which the Livery were detained in the hall, and he would, therefore. not add to it by alluding to some topics which were of considerable intere-t, and of which he had been for many years • strict observer, and in many of them, he might say, an active agent. Besides the inconvenience to the Livery, it would be en injustice to I the other candidates, if he were tooccupy much more of their time ; but he would, in Justice to many persons who had formerly been his political opponents, say, that upon his late canvass they ' had done justice to the purity of his motives, and many of them had the kindness to say that he should have their sup. port, and throughout all his canvassing he had met with can dour, politeness, and strong assurances of support. His motto was, perseverance," and he was sure that whoever would perse vere in the line of rectitude, would receive his reward. (Cheering.) He begged the Livery to recollect that he was not sup ..rted by any particular interest, nor was he upheld by any great y; he wee supported by public feeling and public opinion alone. (Cheers) He did not mean to allude oflineively to any Candidate, but he wished to remind his fellow-citizens that he had no branch com mittee ; nor any other means of insuring success but such as he had before alluded to. It was a source of great regret to him that in the course of a very successful canvass he had not had an opportunity of paying his respects personally to all the Livery, but he hoped his friends would not relax in their endeavours to support him ; hemust entirely depend on their kind offices, as he had no means of bringing forward support. lie must again apologize for delaying the Livery so long, and lie was grateful for their kindness ie giving him a patient hearing. If they returned him to Parliament he would enter upon the duties of a member of the legislature, with • deter. mination not to represent hit own interests, but those of his consti tuents ; and not the interests of his constituents exclusively, but the interests of the whole community. On questions of no general magnitude, he felt himself bound by the instructions of his consti tuents, and whether right or wrong he would feel himself bound to obey. This opinion he knew was opposed to the doctrine of free and unshackled representation ; and if any case should arise in which he felt himself bound to maintain his own opinion, in oppo. sition to the wishes of his constituents, in such case he would relin. quish his seat in Parliament, and resign into their hands the trust they had reposed in him. He entreated of his friends not to remain inactive clueing the poll, which he hoped wonld insure to him the honour of being one of their Representative' in Parliament. (Cheering.) Al icemen P.nower then presented himself on the hustings. He said he had the humour of appearing there as the representat ye of Alderman Garrott. (At the mention of the name there were loud hisses, and some applause, which, with repeated uses of " Thomp son," " Thompson !" continued for some minutes, and eluting which time the Worthy Alderman made many ineffectual attempts to be heard.) After the confusion had somewhat subsided, Sheriff CHOWDER begged to call the attention of the Livery to the important duty which they were met to perform, and unless they heard all parties patiently, they would perform their duty but iimperfectly. He war authorized to assure them, that the Worthy Alderman who was about to address them, would not detain them one minute. (Cries of " Hear, hear," and some hisses.) Alderman Bitower then made an attempt to address the Livery, but he was so repeatedly interrupted that we could not collect his observations. One of his observations was, that be noticed a gentleman (we believe a Mr. Savage), who professed to be the warm friend of civil and religious liberty, interfennto prevent him from exercising his privilege of addressing the Livery, and he would Irate it to that gentleman to reconcile such conduct with his pro fessions, as the broad aasertor of liberal principles. (Cries of "go on, go on !" and Mr. Savage manifested great mortification at this personal allusion.) He appeared on behalf of a worthy Magistrate, and an honest man, and he thought the Livery were entitled to be told what were his sentiments. l'he kindness of a large portion of their own body had led them to express a wish that Alderman Garrett snould consent to be nominated as a candidate at the present election. They all knew what was his public conduct, and if they had an opportunity of knowing his private character, which he ( Alderman Brown) did, they would not he surprised at hearing of his anxiety of withdrawing from public life to his domestic circle, where he enjoyed every comfort and happiness; but as many of the Livery had expressed a wish to see him come forward on this mesa sion, he (Alderman Brown) waited on him the preceding evening to know what were his sentiments. Alderman Garrett then said to him, whet lie had before often repeated, that his desire was to with draw himself from public pumice; but he also said, that as he had been solicited by so many of his fellow-citizens to come forward, if the Livery persevered in calling upon him, he would yield to their wishes, and that in such case every private feeling on his part would give way to the desire of the Livery. He said, that although he was no candidate for the honour of a seat in Parliament. if elected he Would use his best exertions to fulfiLtenaluties of that high station to the best of his abilities. He (Alderman Brown) hoped the Livery would allow him the privilege of delivering his sentiments—a privilege of which he was attempted to be deprived. (Here the worthy Atderman looked at Mr. Savage, and the latter gentleman immediately proceeded across the desks, and got upon the hustings, near the speaker, apparently with an intentinn of addressing the Meeting, but he did not persevere in his foten. tion.) He had looked forward with great anxiety to the quea. lions which might be introduced to the notice of the Livery. He had heard a great deal of the Corn Laws, he had heard a great deal of Slavery, but had heard very little of the Catholic question. (Hear, hear, and great uproar.) He had heard very little of those who seek for temporal power, although they acknowledge a foreign allegiance, whilst they seek the removal of et-vein disabilities under which they labour. (Great uproar.) As the meeting were not dis. posed to hear him, he would conclude by saying that he thought Alderman Garrett conferred a great obligation on the Livery, in consenting to be elected. (Mingled hisses and cheers.) Alderman THODIettOII then presented himself to the Liver, amidst tremendous cheering. When silence was obtained, he said that the time was at last arrived when he was to address them—the precedence having been given to those who by their station and se niority were justly entitled to it; an d, w h o were, in common with himself, candidates upon that occasion for the aufleages of the independent Liverymen of London (cheers), and equally anxious for the honour of representing them in Parliament. In presenting himself to their notice, he earnestly solicited their indulgence for a short time, while he explain e d t o them the grounds upon which he then and there appeared to solicit their support. (Hear, hear, hear.) If he should abstain from noticing some of the topics which had been dwelt on at considerable length by those who had preceded him, it would not be because he deemed those topics in themselves unimportant, but rather because they had all of them been frequently under the observation of the Livery; and he was convinced that they were as able to come to as sound and as fuse a conclusion as any body of men in existence. (Cheering.) With respect to his individual sentiments upon those questions, ne believed they were too well known to the Livery, to render it neces sary for Mae then to enter into a protracted • statement of them. ((sheers.) The part which he had taken when those questions were the subject of Parliamentary discussion, was sufficiently before them to render any statement (tom him superfluous. (Hear, hear.) He was not wholly unknown to them, and he could solemnly de. elate as a man, that he had acted in the whole course of his public life with • spirit of independence. (Immense cheering.) lie had voted in opposition to the Government when, in his judgment, their meesores were handed in error, end likely to be productive of mica. chief; and. no the contrary. he had supported them when he could do so conscientiously, and when it was shewn to his eatistario n that those measures were right. (Greet cheering.) He had tertr been actuated by private or by interested motives. (Cheers.) H e was no friend to professions, but still he would venture to some them, that the only reward lie looked forward to was the inettin ie . hle satisfaction of securing their good opinion. (Immense cheer. 1.1 z.) In the course of his canvass, he had done nothing which could tend to deteriorate or detract from the nitrite of the other tall_ didatem, nor would he resort to such a measure in the course of the present contest. (Great applause.) Ile was not the opponent of any candidate, nor would he coalesce with any. (Cheers ) Ile stood there upon his own merite, and upon those only. and would never seek to insure his own success by detracting from the capabilities anthers. (Cheers.) In the House of Commons he had nevi, taken any part in the discussion of incre abstract questions; he had entirely devoted his attention to the more substantial business of the nation. Tiede and commerce he had supported, and tieing a il h is life engaged in trade and COMOlffre, his practical knowledge was not without its influence. Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the Catholic question, he had only to observe. that lie I. 1111 Ware roved it, from conscientious motives. (Cheers and loans, but tise t ome , seeme d to predominate.) He believed the principle of the Catholic religion to be subversive of liberty ; and, therefore, he was opposed to further concessions; and he telt convinced that the p ro . remain: Church was the most tolerant of all. (Chem.) up on the a su n b d j l t i c e t co o u f id th a e s, C u o r r e n t h i e s m " tha h t i . s if op ra i v n o io ti n eed wa le s it eg h tuhlieilrY well known, suffrag es . t h ey should not have to chide him for remissness ; for no exertion upon his part would be spared in endeavouring to obtain a repeal of these laws—(Great ebeering)—laws, which Ile was satisfied were tin. just, because by their means the value of that which was the say, Theindependently;zealousoftheirHart.andprivileges.forward worthy man withdrew amidst tremendous an :d continued cheering. usual din of cheers. groans, and hisses., according to the feeling, of ste amid,, flotld the . the persons assembled towards Mr. Ward. whom he was about to put in nomination. He stood them he said, to exercise his rights as a citizen and liveryman, and in doing PO, would only detain them while stating that he had the Friel - action to propose a worthy and an honest man to their notice, for the purpose of representing them in Parliament, in the person of Willinto Ward. Esq., citizen and merchant. (Cheers, not unmingled with acme blase!.) Mr. WOODYALL seconded the nomina,ion. .... Mr. WARD came forward amidst considerable cheering, and some slight intake of d:sapprobation. As soon as silence could be obtained, he addressed the 1. very. They view of course aware that that was the first occasion upon which he had had the honour to appear before them, and therefore l.e hoped tiny would grant him a little indulgence, if it wax only be muse that he wash new corner. (Cheers.) Others of the candidates had had the benefit of put experience upon which to found their claim to the good opi. ion of the Livery ; he, of course, lad no such ground upon which to rest his claim to their sutra .es; but when he had con. rented to become candidate, no leis than three out of four of them Representatives had announced their intention of not offering them. selves again to represent them in Parliament. It was clear, there. fore, that as they would ne longer have the benefit of persons of ex. pericnce, some persons of lest experience must be chosen in the place of those who had retired. (Hear, hear.) He was awre that there were others who were better acquainted than he was with those misters which belonged to the Corporation of the City ; but I e thought that any deficiency upon his part in that respect might be amply supplied by the co-operation of the three persons who would be elected as his colleagues. (Cheers.) If they fa. vowed him with their suffrages, he would not introduce tv y orw [objects or untried experiments. He offered himself to their notice as a British merchant (Great cheering) ; - and if he might judge from the fact of their having, upon a former occasion, placed Air. Wilson at the head of the poll, he would conclude that a British merchant was a character not undeserving of their favour. (Great cheering.) He did not mean to say that there were not many other consideration, to be attended to in the election of a Representative, I than his being well acquainted with the mercantile interests of the country. (Cheers.) He did not mean to say that the interests and wants of the middle and the lower orders of society should not be equally within the province of the knowledge of a Represerostire or the City of London ; but he would say, if they deemed his me rits in these and other matters equal to that of the other candidates, they would, he thought, scarcely deny him their suffrages, merely because he held no situation in their Corporation. (Immerse cheering.) With respect to the Catholic question, he could truly say that be was not aware a the importance which was attached to it, when he was first caned es femme' himself to the Livery ass candidate to reprove theta le Parliament. When, however, ha had ascertained the magnitude of lemiedpartance, he at once stated that he haul never deliberated sulndeerify rpm the measure, and re gretted exceedingly that he was en more intimately acquainted with its bearings; but still the bias ef Ids °platen had sleeps been unfavourable to the Catholic chains. (Great cheering and consider able hissing also.) More than tbs. be amid au bring himself to say, for he felt that consideration e decision ; and he should feel himself unworthy indeed tltheb suffrages, if he should decide for the sake alone of their immediate favour. M uch cheer ing.) He was aware that the first subject next every man's heart, and justly so, was liberty. (Cheering.) Liberty was a staple arti. de of British manufacture; it appeared, indeed, to be reserved al together for home consumption (a laugh), and he sincerely hoped that it would never be exported. (Immense cheering.) There might, however, be two opinions as to what constituted liberty. He did not believe that liberty consisted in invariably and constantiy opposing hit Majesty's Government. Neither was there any neces. any for falling into the opposite extreme. (Cheers.) Mr. Wilson had served them faithfully for many years, and he (Mr. Ward) then asked for no more at their hands than they had voluntarily p-offerred to Mr. Wilson; and if they accorded to him t hi s , h e cou ld st,aure them that he wo u ld be faithful and assiduous in their service. (Cheers.) Ile then thanked them cordially for the manner in which they had heard him, and declared, that whether they placed him hereafter at the top or at the bottom of the poll, he had received elready such marks of their kindness, as he should recollect wih pleasure to the latest period of his lift. The Honourable Gentleman retired amidst contioued cheers. The proper Officer then P;l — up the names of the different can didates, in order to take the sense of the Livery by a sheer of hands, commencing with that or the Lord Mayor, in whose favour a con. siderable number held up their hands. Alderman Wood came next In rotation, and an immense shew was made in his support. Alderman Waithman was next, and had a 4 ill greater number ; as had also Alderman Thompson, in whose favour the electors seemed to be almost unanimous. Mr. Ward had nearly as larger' shew of hands as Alderman Wood, and Alderm in (Jarrett appeared to have about as many supporters as the Lord Mayor. The Sheriffs, alter a short consultation, declared the election to have fallen upon Alderman Thompoots, Alderman Waithman, Alderman Wood, and Wm. Ward, Req. Alderman Bnowx then demanded a poll on the part of Alder. man Garrett ; and Mr. Deputy Routh also demanded a poll upon the part of the Lord Mayor. The Sheriffi then announced that the poll should be opened at half.past three o'clock, and close at half-past four. The poll then proceeded, and the numbers on the return were, f^r Alderman Waithman - 131 Lord Mayor . - . 100 Thompson - 123 Mr. Ward . . . 82 - Wood - - 117 Alderman Garrett . . 32 When the numbers had been announced, and the consequent cheers subsided, Mr. Aldert..an WAITEIMATZ said, he could assure the gentlemen of the Livery that the high gratification which he experienced from the unexpected circumstance of his name being at the head of the poll, did not arise from the mere fact of the numb es being in his favour; but as he lately told them that he depended solely on public opinion, and had not interested himself in the manner which might have forced such anisaue, he therefore considered it as matter of great pride to be at the head of the poll. as it evinced that the public opinion was in his favour; and from the enthusiastic applause which foliowell the announcement of the poll, he could non doubt of the order of feeling which' prevailed towards Aim. fie believed that none of his opponents could or ever did impute to him the promo len of his private interest at the expense of the public. JO whe her his motives were well or ill designed, he never contemplated his own interest in a public capacity. The tact of his being at the bead of the poll was in itself no cause of triumph, but, connected its it was with public concerns, with public freedom, and with Vie in terests of the public at large, afforded great cause of congrstulatitli. (Cheers.) lie professed himself only on instrument in their limit, to express their feelings; and he would therefore hike leave to ask them that they would allow him to give them a little advice, whkh would be directed solely to insure them a complete triumph. lie would therefore recommend to them, when they wont out, to exert themselves so as to bring forward those friends, whose acres would render their victory more triumphant. Saturday was an inauspi cious day for a popular candidate, as the persons on whose votes he relied were then too much occupied by necessary business to be abs to attend at the hustings. He might therefore expect that he would to.morrow lose ground, but he hoped that the exertions of hit friends would counteract such an effect. He had devoted his existence to the promotion of free trade, and he thought it very armor, when the !louse of Commons hail agreed in the prinespla, that so many Members who composed part of its body should he found concerned and mixed up in those jobs that were calculated to tic. stroy that freedom of trade which they approved by their votes, and thereby contradict themselves and injure the interests of the coo. triunity. (Loud cheers.) He need not insist on ti a fact that he had devoted himself to the suppression and exposure of those specula tiring, for he might truly assert that if he had been inclined to enrolee in the system of shares, he would have pocketed a great deal of money. He was the first man In or out of Parliament who de nounced the system. The triumph which they were to achieve was one of truth and justice and under the best minelples of the Con stitution; and he horse' that they we uld act according to such sen timents. If they id not do what they were bound to do, anti which he was sure was their intention, they could only blame. themselves, and have no reason in future to cotnplaiu of the renewal of jobs and speculations, because it depended on them to return Members of adverse principles. Another duty he wo u ld recommend to them was the exertion of activity, and the brief ing forward of their friends. When the loud and reiterated cheers which followed the our thy Alderman's address had in some degree subsided, .Mr. Alderman Tilostesox addressed the Meeting. and said that he would not delay the gentlemen prevent, but he was ans. sous to express the pride and gratification which he felt at the distinguished support which he had received, Lie hoped, however,
