Pones Uri Places may be totem at the Theatre, from Ele ven to Five. At three o'clock the poll finally closed of one of the most sitelthronlysOmuterted Meetings ever known, in the City of London. Nothing could surpass in earnestness' the solicitude displayed by the friends of the various candidates within and without the halt. The Neighbourhood of Kingseireet might be said to have been covered with placards, some intended for the attraction of rotes to the interest or the candidates named in them, others exhibited in a spirit of rivalry, the bitterness of which, as it is to be supposed it closed with the election, it would be improper to prolong by any repetition of its device*. From the church to the door of the hall was lined with a double row of supplicants, who distributed the cards of the candidates to those who were go ing forward to the hustings. The hell evinced, of course, it full share of the anxiety which prevailed throughout. The voter were recorded with increas ing rapidity as three o'clock approaches!. and *p peering to possess increased value from their late girlie, were more and more eagerly acknowledged by the Gentlemen on the buntings, and clamorously approved or condemned by the assraehly in the body of the hall. The galleries were filled with Ladies, and other rows of them were seated beneath the tnoisuitieNto orarest the hustings. A slumber of persons also made their appearance inside the windows nearest the roof on the King-street side, who might have heard pretty well, but could not view any thing that was goisig forward. The con test assumed the same positions, with respect to the Cantlidairs, which gave the last City election so much interest. Mr. Weithinan's poll of Monday was behind that of the Lord Mayor's, who was fourth on the poll. The struggle with Mr. Waithman's friends, therefore. was to give him superiority on this the last day's pull. This slid not appear lin probable of soccer,. At twelve o'clock Mr. Waith maim was, upon the day's poll, about 17n before his Lordship. At one o'clock this majority was doubled. At two o'clock it still had increased, and as Mr. Waithmen seemed to be the favourite with the ginner part of the hall, their expectations and eagerness roar to the highest by this prosperous progression of the numbers. After two o'clock, however, the polling became lest and less nume rous in proportion to time, although there was the utmost accommodation that could. under the cir cumstances, be expected for approaching the pull. There was cotaoitlrralble uncertainty of the issue, as it tesPected Mr. Waldman and the Lord Mayor, at ten inioutts before three. After that it was too obviously in favour of she latter io admit any doubt. Alraintime the noise and confusion in the hall be came as great as is usually witnessed osi interesting occasions.

For M r. Wilson Alderman Wood Alderman Curtis The Lord Marx 4.236 *Merino., hatan . 4.077 Aldermen Thorp 3,996 Considerable tumult followed. Sheriff Parkins thanked the Livery for their orderly behaviour during the contest, and hoped that after the ex ample they had shewii, none would dare to impute to them riot or disorder in their general proceedings. Mr. WILSON then came forward, mid was re ceived with considerable cheering. The noise in the hall was too much for hint to be heard by any but those near loin. After the most arduous con test ever {mown in the City, he found himself placed in a situation on the poll the most honour able that could beful him or ally other man. He s chosen by a majority over the other Candidates as their Representative in the House of Commons. On any occasion, or under almost any circumstances. this would he a proud distinction ; but when the astonishing efforts of the friends of each candi date in the Contest were considered, and how much had been done by them on all hands, he felt they had conferred on him an honour tin usually great, one which called for more acknow ledgments than he could make in words, and which bound him to use through all his after life Isis best efforts to deserve, Great as was the triumph to his own personal feelings, he rejoiced inure at it as it 'Mewed that which was impel taut in the history of their election., that they lied deeply considered aml firmly decided oat the necessity of having one merchant to represent them in Parliament. This determination he was glad of, not for himself only, as he mieht at another time make way fur persons of the same pretensions, having larger formues and greater talents than himself ; but there was a ne cessity for their having one, if not more merchants to represent them, alto might be able, in a decay of trade, to give a fresh impetus to their mercantile prosperity, which ilo o;lier persons but merchants were ever likely to oecompli4). 'Phis he considered to ite a new femme in their political op mot's, and he trusted that lie was worthy of carrying their purpose into effect. As to his politic:4 priuciples. he was attached to the Constitution in Church and State ; lie was zealot's for the protection of the rights sod liberties of the people. mud lie pledged himself to be watchful over the privileges of his fellow-cit.zeirs, and tiniest in his attention to the interests of trade and commerce. lie ex pressed his warmest acknowledgement for the kindness he hail experienced on his canvass, from some, and - the moderation of all. Ile owed much to the politeness and favour of the Corporatiori. wh he begged to assure, that al though ito member of their body, lie would do every thing in his power for the security and ad vancement of their interests in the Home or Com mons. His longs were very had, or lie would say snore. The Sheriffs demanded his thanks for the manner ill which they had iierfaretreil a minas arduous dirty, which they had very lionnurshly discharged. He washed to express his thanks, igerierully, for roll the favours be had received during the contest ; for the partial hewing, he had been favoured with, and their etteutiou to lam at that moment. He trusted to be able to prove himself grateful fur and worth, of the honour with which they had chathiguislee.l him. He would take op no more of theirminethri was neceseery once MO* to express hi' plethoric * end take leave, after wishing them all health and happiness, and all other Uessiwgs necesbary therein. Alderman Wool) was loudly cheered, He cool.' not sufficiently express his gratitude for the distin guished manner in which they lied placed him mai the poll, having by their elections given him siscit a superiority over his hOtiehrAtite Intends. It was to him a proof that they had well conaldered the matter, and had not judged without the utiorist discrimination, ,who had proved themselves mo s s sit to represent them in Parliament. Ile would a;. ways endeavour to deserve their confidence by aiadfluity in watching over their interest% He wae the more gratified by the mejority of his poll, as it had not been acquired or increased by trick or stratagem of any kind.

His attention to his parliamentary duties should be, as they bad heel', noremitting. In giving his Arcot., lie avould not he influenced or intimidated by any circumstances ; lie would do it conscientiouely. If the Livery did not approve of any vote of his, they would only have to call a Common Hall and say so, amid he would resign his seat to some one who should he more likely to please them. His ambition was to be mein! to the public. Their mauuer of placing him on the poll could never he forgotten. Their esteem was all the Trowel lie sought, all that he asked.—(Lord applause.) Mr. W (IRMA N advanced. and said, that he was only going to alliiresii then& fur a secood, for the purpose of requesting a fair hearing for the son a the worthy Baronet. It might appear presump tuous in him to make such an appeal, but he iand been solicited to do so by Mr. Curtis himaell; or he would not have attempted it, having no reason to believe that he held such an influence over theta as that imputed to him by the sou of the worthy Baronet.—(aipplause.) Mr. Coitus advanced, but not hying nble to get a hearing, he pointed to the poll with a ;;iatiti-,l look, and gave the lead while the Baronet', frteuds gave three cheers. The LORD MAYOR next returned thanks, hilt was inaudible except to those nearest him. lie was proud of the honour of being appointed to re present them iu Parliament, for which lie was malicious to return thanks. He made his acknowe ledgrnente iu succesaiiiii for the kindness he lied re f ceived from the Gentlemen of the Corporation, the Livery, his own Convnittem, amid the Sherilra, They might thick it extraordinary, but he was proud of his situation, low as it we', oia the poll. His Hou. Friend had well expressed the necessity of London being represented by merchants. among whom none could 'be better qualified fur the duty than the Hou. Gentleman himself. He vilified that the representation contained more persous of his character, who could discharge hits public duties with such credit and honour to hirrivelf,. cud such advantage to the public. For I self he would keep them no longer than was necessaiy, to wish them health and prosperity, and return them his sincere thanks for the honour they had done min. Alderman WAITHDAN then advanced +maul ace claniations which coutiimed some minute,.
