EVENING EDITION. ARTIER FOR MAYOR—FARRINGDON WITHOUT. AT a GENERAL MEETING, held on Monday evening, 2ith September, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, of the LIVERYMEN of the CITY of LON DON, to take into consideration the best means of securing Alderman HARMER'S ELECTION on Tuesday (THIS DAY ), which was most numerously and respectably attended; JOHN BLACKET, Esq., Deputy, in the Chair, It vras resolved rinanimously,— Moved by HOBERT OBRARD, Esq., seconded by RICHARD WILLIAMS, Esq. Ist. That Alderman Harmer has filled the public offices of Common Councilman and Alderman of the Ward of Farringdon Without, for a period of sixteen Sears, to the entire satisfaction of the inhabitants of the Ward, who have invariably, at all their Ward Meetings, returned him their thanks for the efficient and impartial manner in which he has discharged the important duties committed to his care. That he has also executed the high and important offices of Sheriff and Magistrate faithfully, honourably, and i n dependeLtly. That Alderman Harmer's public and private character is now (as it always has been) free from any charge or impeachment; and, being the next in rotation to fill the office of Lord Mayor, has, by his past services and conduct as a Citizen, as Sheriff, and as Alderman and Magistrate, proved himself eminently qualified for being placed in that high and distinguished situa tion by his fellow-citizens. Moved by ALEX. GALLOWAY, Esq., seconded by JAMES ANDERTON, Esq. 2dly. That this meeting strongly deprecates the opposition that is now attempted to he made against Alderman Farmer's election to the office of Lord Mayor, as being both oppressive and tyrannical ; oppressive, by endeavouring to prevent an in dividual from succeeding to the Civic Chair, against whose public and priva'e character there is no charge suggested even by his opponents; and tyrannical, by attempting to put down discussion upon points which it is the right of a free country to enjoy, and a right which the proprietors of the " Times" newspaper have long exercised, to a greater extent than the proprietors of any other journal. Moved by JoHli H. CON!T, Esq. ; seconded by JOHN LOWE, Esq. 3dly. That this meeting will collectively and individually " use every exertion to promote the success of Alderman Har mer's rotation to the high and, distinguished office of Lord Mayor, and they call upon their fellow-citizens to aid and as sist them in their object, not less on account of the Alderman's unimpeachable character as an Alderman, Sheriff, and a Ma gistrate, than to prevent the peace and harmony of the C;ty from being hereafter destroyed by a disturbance of the regular rotation to the Civic Chair, without any just charge against the conduct of the Alderman next in succession. J. BLACKET, Deputy, Chairman. Moved by C. A. SAVAGE, Esq., see( nded. by THOMAS PEARCE, Esq. That the thanks of this Meeting be presented to the worthy Chairman for his services in the Chair. N.B.—The Committee will sit on Tuesday (this day), a , Nine o'clock at the Swan with Two Necks. EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ.

Mr. ADAM BLACK, the part proprietor and publisher of the Edinburgh Review, of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and a number of other works of the highest character, is one of the best known and most respected booksellers of the northern metro polis. He is a very clever, and, which in our estimation is of greater importance, he is an honest man. In latter times he has been distinguished by taking a lead in many popular questions, and has been a conspicuous advocate for a repeal of the bread tax ; yet this gentleman, in all respects so eligible and so deserving, is not to be Lord Provost because he is a Dissenter. This is re-enacting in our manners the Test Act after it has been abolished by our laws. The Church again. Oh 7 . tl at intolerant, bigoted Church, the mother of persecution ; she glares on us at every part of our path, as the hideous parent of strife, and more from terror than love men obey her bloody decrees. The grand, the crowning objection, put forth in the Times yesterday morning to Mr. HARMER is, that the Dispatch has written against the priest. hood. It has not coAned its attacks to one class after another like the Times—for that Journal has in turn abused equally the political Dissenters, the Unitarians, the 6. surpliced ruffians," and the negli gent clergy of the English Church—but it has in one comprehensive paragraph attacked priestcraft embodied in the priesthood, and for this offence Dissenters and Whigs, we are told, have united to punish and degrade Mr. HARMER. In all ages and in all languages the craft of the priests seizing hold, as Mr. M'NEILE has explained, of spiritual terror, and using it to found a spiritual dominion, has been reprobated by philosophers, denounced by statesmen, and satirized by poets ; but in the editor of Mr. Alderman HARMER'S paper this is an un pardonable offence, unpardonable because he has been successful, and on that account Mr. HARMER is to be excluded from the Mayoralty. , Here, also as in Scotland, morality and honesty, peace, order, and happiness, are to he sacrificed to what is called the Church, which is another name for priestcraft. It is the boast of the Times that already 1,100 of the Livery have signed the declaration to keep out Mr. HARMER. So many persons in the City of London, then, have lent themselves to be the in struments of persecution. Most of them, we are afraid, will be found to belong to the sensitive would-be great men of the middle classes, who are just now alarmed at the revolution which is going forward in the mind of the nation, and willing to embrace almost any means to keep the Church and Aristocracy in their exalted station. We had been inclined to hope that in other places such a perse cuting spirit would not be found. Sir JAMES FoRREST, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, has undeceived us. Of course, he does not act single handed. He has sounded the minds of the Bailies and Councillors, and knows which way the current ,is running. Like not a few persons in every part of the island, he is now striving to kick down the ladder of Liberal principles, by which he ascended to office, and, under the pretext of caring for the Church, he is struggling to exclude a Dissenter from the honour he seems unwilling to resign. In this project of excluding a gentleman on account of his religion, he is aided by many of the inhabitants of Edinburgh ; and thus we have persecution revived in both ends of the island. The Times and its 1,100 Liverymen, as well as Sir JAMES FORREST and his assisting Bailies and Councillors, only want opportunity and power to revive the murderous persecutions of the 16th century. We beseech the Livery of London and the Bur gesses of Edinburgh, if it be not yet too late, to pause in their career, and reflect on the conse quences. There are now two large classes in the empire bent on effecting great alterations, because they cannot obtain justice from the British Parlia ment. Mr. O'CONNELL and the Irish demand the. Repeal of the Union—the Chartists demand a complete change in the Constitution ;and both ground their demands less on the character of the Parliament than on the character of the constituencies. The " Ten-pounders" and the" Shopocracy"are the terms of reproach used by the Chartists. On every occasion Mr. O'CONNELL holds up the virulent language of the Methodists and the High Churchmen at the meetings against the Catholics, as a decisive proof that his countrymen have nothing to hope from an English Parliament, however constituted, because the electors are rabidly persecuting. To those com plaints, and those reproaches, the persecution of Mr. HARMER and Mr. BLACK will give ten-fold force. "If they exclude a Protestant Dissenter," Mr, O'CONNELL will say, " what bore can a Ca tholic have ?" His countrymen will respond, " no hope," and the cry of Repeal will be strengthened and justified. " If the middle classes," the Chartists will exclaim, " persecute Mr. HARMER because the editor of his paper has written against the Monarchy and the Church, what can we expect from tiem who seek thoroughly to refortn, if not to overturn both ? We can expect nothing but stripes, dungeons, and the gallows, to which we have, at their instigation, already been exposed, and we must vigorously resolve to crush them. or submit to be crushed." If the. Livery wish, therefore, to strengthen Chartism—if the citizens of Edinburgh wish to foment Repeal—if both desire to promote riot, bloodshed, and res olution, let them go on persecuting men on account of their religious and political opinions, and let them re-establish the Test Act. Strife will be encouraged by their example, and will rapidly spread, and repeal in one island avid revolution in the other will, ere long, be the order of the day. A Sunday Contemporary wa3 speculating as to the cause of the failure of the Reform Bill ; but the a'mve examples explain it in one word. Many of the nliddle classes are Tories in their hearts, idola tors of rank, idolators of wealth, and idolators of the priesthood. They struggled f or p ower , no t f or freedom, and now that they have power they use it not for good ends. They are afraid of those below them, they crouch to those ab ove t h em, and they are willing to make themselv es subservient ito We designs of the aristocrac y and th epr iestboou. vve have already had occasion to remark, t h at if they had been in earnest, th e y coul.d have carried the repeal of the Corn-laws. But they were not in earnest they were afraid of the lower classes, and they courted the landowners. A very few of them, i„ the case of the New Zealand Company, could over- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1840. bear the Government, and carry an object they had at heart ; they could not carry the repeal of the Corn-laws, because they did not desire it. The Reform Act, then, has been a failure, because the constituencies, like the 1,100 Liverymen of Lon don, and the supporters of Sir JAMES FORREST at Edinburgh, are not sufficiently intelligent, nor sufficiently high principled. When the constitu encies have acquired political knowledge, and have become politically honest and just, the Reform Act will cease to be a failure. " The city population of England," says Mr. FA RR, in that Letter to the Registrar-General which we yesterday referred to, "is greater than that of any other country of Europe, and it in creases more rapidly than the population of the rural districts." Hence inquiries " into the mode of preserving health in cities become of vast im- ' portance here, and hence the alarm which the as sertion of the greater mortality of cities is calculated to excite, for the happiness both of the present and of future generations. Hence, too, the vast im portance of a question put by Mr. FA R R, and which ingenious and benevolent men seem now bent on answering practically in almost every town in the kingdom, " Is the excessive mortality of cities inevi table ?" He has answered it himself, to a great ex tent, and our present purpose is rather to quote his observations than offer any of our own. We may remark, however, that the 44 excessive mortality" is not the consequence of mere numbers, for the inhabitants of the western parts of London, or of Hackney, are as healthy as the inhabitants of the rural districts. In fact, the relative mor tality, about which the comparison is instituted, seems to us to refer more to the poor and the rich than to the inhabitants of towns and of the coun try. It is a singularity in our society that the opulent retire into the country, and the poor crowd into the towns. The improvements made in agri culture have a tendency to diminish the number of hands employed in it, and therefore we infer that the increase of population in the rural districts is chiefly amongst the opulent, or, at least, the corn fortable classes, and not amongst the labouring classes. The very reverse is the case of cities. The increase in the number of their population, more particularly in the manufacturing districts, is chiefly of the labouring classes. No sooner does a man acquire opulence than he hurries away from the crowded exchange. He does not wait till he has acquired a large fortune before he retires to a suburban villa. He leaves the alley where his counting-house, or the court where his factory, may be, and leaves the crowded neighbourhood in which his work people are, and rolls off in an om nibus, or gallops off on his horse, or is swiftly borne by the railway carriage some miles away from the crowded spot. Thus, in the closely peopled parts of all our cities, the increase of po pulation is chiefly of the working and lower classes, from whom the opulent and upper classes are entirely separated, while in the rural districts the increase of population is chiefly of the opulent and comfortable classes, and the comparison therefore instituted between the mortality of cities and rural districts, is in a great measure a compari son between the mortality of the poor and the rich. Bearing this fact in mind, that we may not too much despond for our posterity, and that we may labour all in our power to relieve the dreadful evils of poverty—not by simulated charity and gifts of soup, but by removing from our people the crush ing burdens we have laid on their industry, and the barbarous restrictions imposed on their freedom-- we shall now borrow some of Mr. FARR's re commendations and remarks. • • • • • lie very justly says that " the first writers on the \ subject took a fanatical view of the subject." It was very natural for those who believed man to be wicked, to come to the conclusion that where man abounds there wickedness is proportionate. Hence ' cities were declared vortices of vice, misery, and death. They were proclaimed the graves of man kind." There is now, however, reason to believe " that the aggregation of mankind is not inevitably disastrous." In the further progress of improve ment, the primary objects to be kept in view, he says, are— The careful exclusion of all unnecessary animal and vegetable matter, the immediate removal of residual products, and the dilution of inevitable exhalations. The dead should no lnoger be buried where they arc surrounded by crowded dwellings. . . Assuredly there is no reason why thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, and animals of every kind, sometimes affected with epizootic diseases, should be gathered together in a market-places within the city, or slaughtered in houses, where the blood and offal can never be effectually removed. Pub lic slaughter-houses have been erected in other places without putting the butchers to any real inconvenience, or raising the price of meat. One of the recommendations of railroads was that cattle would be slaughtered in the country, and so brought to London. We hope that will soon be realised. The sewerage, of course, occupies Mr. FA RR'S attention, and he declares that a map of the drain age of the metropolis would correspond with the table of relative mortality. The following recom mendation is worthy the attention of the landlords, and it gives us pleasure to remind the reader that the present Government, by the proposed improve ments of the metropolis, is acting in the spirit of what Mr. FA RR says : Wide streets, squares, and parks, with spacious houses, would render ventilation easy, and secure the dilution of poisonous emanations ; but the ground is valuable, and building is dear in cities ; hence there has been a constant and an unopposed tendency in landlords to ac cumulate the greatest number of houses on the least possible space in poor districts, and the families of arti sans are driven to crowd in small, low, close rooms. The evils from this source are one of the contingencies of poverty and ignorance ; they may, however, be met by opening, in the densest neighbourhoods, a certain number of wide streets, through which the collateral streets would be ventilated by fresh atmospheric cur rents. As information spreads among tenants, land lords will naturally render the districts in which their property lies healthy. Men will pay higher rents rather than expose themselves and their families to the risk of sickness and death. The landlords of the metropolis, at whose expense the improvements must be made, are deeply interested in its sanatory state ; for every ame lioration conducive to the health of the inhabitants raises the value of houses, while the deterioration cf the atmos phere must inevitably drive the wealthy out of town, and lead to the erection of residences in the country, which the facilities of travelling will every day render more accessible. The metropolis has in itself all the elements of a healthy city. If the tides leave the banks of the Thames exposed, that great river sweeps through the city from east to west, and the winds rush fresh over its waters. The land rises in undulations to Hampstead -heath and the Surrey Hills ; pure water is abundant, and would flow ander almost every street ; the artificial heat and gas, noisome as it sometimes is, ascends in a vast column to the sky, and is replaced by under currents from the surrounding country. Their wealth enables the citizens to take advantage of all the suggestions, discoveries, and resources of modern science ; so that the metropolis need neither be fatal to so large a portion of its inhabi- I tants, nor undermine or derange the health of those who are collected every year within its circuit. With these advantages, if London be not made as healthy as the rural districts, notwithstanding the great multitude of human beings collected on the banks of the Thames, the fault will be in our regulations, not in nature, which has not, like a mischievous demon, doomed the human race to disease, debility, and misery, as she has multiplied them on the face of the earth. Thewith a ddi t i ona l adNio e s from mris ConstantinoplePape Papers of u n oAlexand r i a , b ot h a of the 7th inst., have re ached us. Among the re ported captures of Commo d o re N APIER off Bey- Sunday, rout, the Constantinopolitan letters enumerate an Egyptian corvette and some transports, having on board 11 field-pieces, 700 stand of arms, 600 bar I. - rels of powder, besides a large quantity of military accoutrements. SOLIDI AN PACII A bad directed no provisions to be supplied to the British ships, upon which the British Commodore declared, that if provisions were not supplied in abundance in the course of a few hours, he would reduce Bey rout to a heap of ruins. This threat had the desired effect. While the Commodore was in the act of capturing every vessel attempting to enter the harbour of Bey rout, the inhabitants supplied the British sailors with plenty of fresh meat, fowls, bread, fruit, and whatever the market supplied of either " eatables or drinkables," as the veteran DIGGORY has it. On the 7th instant Colonel HODGES, the British Consul-General at Alexandria, struck his flag, and went on board the Cyclops. H is example was fol lowed by the Consuls-General of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, who embarked in the British and Austrian vessels of war in the harbour. This movement of the diplomatic body greatly alarmed the merchants, of whom the majority were pre paring to take shelter in Malta, Greece, and the lonian Islands till the threatened storm shall have blown over. The French Consul-General re mained, and such of the British merchants as had resolved to abide the worst were about to put them selves under the protection of the Pacha, who had offered to guarantee their safety. The following additional summary of oriental news is from the Gazette du Midi of the 24th instant : " We have received from Alexandria a letter of the 6th, which contains the following passages : " Rifaat Bey left yesterday. He is the bearer of a letter for the Sultan. The conduct of the Consuls of the Powers in coalition has given . rise to well merited sarcasm. After having stated that they would leave a the expiration of the second term, they demanded to be authorised to remain, adding that they had received no orders from their respective Courts to quit Egypt. Therefore all that they have done for the last twenty days was for no other object than to put the Pacha to the test. Did they not publicly announce their de.- parture, were they not preparing to do so, were they not selling their horses ? And, after having made all this hubbub, they allow Rifaat Bey to go, and remain them selves. " His Highness has proofs that the English wished to bribe Scheriff Pacha, the Governor-General of Syria, by offering immense sums of money. Whence, having acted in such a manner towards a superior Go vernment officer, what will they not do with respect to inferior employes 1' But all those attempts at corrup tion have failed, and Syria is perfectly quiet. " Ibrahim Pacha is at Balbec, between Tripoli and Beyrout. He has withdrawn 1.5,000 men from Memel], and Soliman has 30,000 men under his command. If, therefore, the Turks were to effect a debarkation. they could never withstand the Egyptian troops ; the Moun taineers would rise up in arms for Mehemet Ali,for the Turkish soldiers were detested by the Druses and Ma ronites ; and the Arnauts, who committed the most wanton pillage, have left behind them terrible remi- niscences. " It stated that Mehemet Ali also wrote to the French Government at the same time that he delivered a letter to Rifeat Bey for the Sultan. The letter which has been sent to the King of the French is to request the mediation of that country. " Our French Contemporaries are never weary of imputing bribery to our Goverment. Were Lord PALMERSTON in a mood to give bribes, there is a personage in Syria who, we understand, would willingly pocket them, whose secession from MEHEMET Am would be more useful to the Four Powers than the Governor above indicated. It is not a month since a Frenchman, whose per sonal intimacy with SOLIMAN PACHA is undoubt ed, offered, in our personal hearing to purchase the defection of the said SOLIMAN PACHA, if authorised so to do by the British Government, and even to employ that brave Renegade against the PACHA in Syria. This is a fact for the truth of which we pledge ourselves. Now, would it not be curious if this very SOLIMAN PACHA, who for a given sum would settle the Syrian ques tion to the satisfaction of the Four Powers, were at the bottom of the ridiculous charge thus trumped up against Lord PALMERSTON ? The French Government received on Sunday the following official news from French Africa ALGIERS, SEPT. 21. "MARSHAL VALEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " I caused to be attacked by General Chategarnier, the camp of Kaiifa Ben Salem. The enemy was de feated ; 129 native carcases have fallen into our power. We have made 17 prisoners, taken 40 horses, 200 muskets, and several mules. The province of Algiers is tranquil." The death of Marshal MACDONALD, Duke of Torento, is announced in these papers, The pa ragraph bringing the intelligence will be found in another column. The following paragraphs include what little else there is in the shape of news in the French Journals of Sunday : The Presse states positively that a note had been received by the French Government from Lord Pal merston, urgently recommending a renewed alliance be tween England and France with respect to the affairs of Spain. The French Cabinet assembled twice to con sider the proposition, which several members of the Go vernment were disposed to receive favourably, but M. Thiers eventually persuaded them to reject it. A letter from Tunis announces that a Tunisian, who had favoured the escape of the brothers Gelluli to Malta, had been condemned to receive 1,500 lashes on three successive days, and died before the entire sentence could be carried into execution. It was reported in Malta that the Regency of Tripoli had been offered to the Bey of Tunis for a sum 2,000,000 of colonnati. NEUTRALITY.-The Court of Naples, the See of Rome, and several small German powers, have deter mined on maintaining a perfect neutrality in case war break out between Franca and the parties to the cot:- ference. The prudence of these little fry is much to be commended. A tiny revolution has taken place at Ancona, in consequence of en order being given to re pair the fortifications, which led to the idea that the French were about to re-occupy the place. The emeulc was put down without much difficulty. The apprehensions of the frequenters of the Exchange were revived to-day on the subject of the affairs of the East. Besides the embarrassment which appears to result from the news from Constantinople and Alexan dria, reports of a very serious nature have been spread, in particular, that the English had taken possession of Beyrout and Candia. There was, however, nothing to indicate that this report was well founded. At the same time comments were made on the letter published by the Malta journal, which announces that the French fleet had received orders to avoid any collision with that The Friend of Engluad The Greek f o a ur G na a l z p et u t b e li d s e he France. thens, rf the People, of the 9th of September, announces that on the 4th, in the morning, a French steam-boat anchored in the little port of Phalerus, preceded nine French ships of the line, which cast anchor there in the eve Ling of the same day, the 4th of September.

There can be no political object in intercepting from the French and English , public a knowledge of what is passing in the Levant. When, some few weeks ago, a charge was pre- 1 1 ferred in the commercial circles of Paris against M, DOSNY, the father-in-law of the French Premier, " for converting early official intelligence to a profit able account on the Bourse, the Chronicle was the only English Journal that had the hardihood to contend for the immaculacy of the suspected Pre fect. There are persons from whom the best acts come with an ; and therefore, though it was exceedingly chivalrous on the part of the Chronicle to enter the lists in defence of a man borne down by the accusations of the French Press, it was felt at the time that the defence of suspected stock-jobbers was an undertaking which a Journal, situated as the Chronicle was re ported to be at the time, by two of its Morning Contemporaries, might have prudently shrunk from volunteering. As the reputa tion of the French Premier was at stake, we carefully abstained from noticing a defence, which, under the circumstances, was rather calculated to strengthen the impression against him ; nor should we now recal the circumstance, did not the Chro nicle in the above paragraph threaten some such proceeding as it then deprecated. We grant that when the French Government directed the sup pression of the conveyance of despatches by cour t iers from Marseilles, gratitude should have prompted an exception► in favour of the Chronicle but we cannot suffer such a provocative to ill: temper to have more weight than v%e can help with the public. Tony - LIES.—The Morning Post of this day asserts that " between one and two thousand of the Livery of London have subscribed their names" to the declara tien against Alderman Harmer, while the Committee publish in another Tory paper the follosing v.l fining contradiction of the falsehood :—" It is with infh.itt surprise and indignation we have to witness the failure of our efforts to rouse the Livery of London. Surely the times must be exceedin.ly bad when not more than GOO staunch Tories and Churchmen (the number who nave signed the declaration) can be brought to a just sense of duty !

This morning, pursuant to annual custom, a Com mon Hall was held at the Guildhall, for the election of the Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The approaches to the Guildhall were crowded long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Officers of the Corporation arrived at the Guild hall shortly before twelve o'clock. His Lordship was cheered as he enlered the Hall, by the crowd. Alderman Harmer was also received with loud cheering. Some of the members of the Corporation were greeted in a very different manner, their appearance being the signal for groans aNd hisses. The majority of the members of the Cor poration, however, were received in silence. At twelve o'clock his Lonl.hip, attended by the Court of Alder men, went in procession to the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, to attend Divine service. They returned to the Guildhall shortly after one o'clock. There were loud and general complaints among the Liverymen that, contrary to usual custom, the Lord Mayor issued orders that none should be per mitted to enter the Hall, until after his return from Church. In consequence, however, of the great dissatisfaction occasioned by these orders being rigidly acted on, they were countermanded, and the Hall was thrown open at half-past twelve, and in the space of a few minutes was filled. Since the celebrated struggle which ended in the re-election of Sir John Key, there has never been known such a numerous attendance of Liverymen in Common Hall as on the present occasion. On the return of the procession Alderman Harmer was again received with loud cheering. When the cheers had somewhat subsided, there was a faint attempt to get up a hiss, at the further end of the Hall; but this was only the signal for a renewal of deafening cheering, which the worthy Alderman acknowledged by repeatedly bowing. The Town Crier having made the usual proclamation. The RECORDER then came forward, and amid much noise and confusion addressed the Livery as follows : Gentlemen of the Livery, you are this day convened to exercise one of the highest and most valuable privileges you enjoy, in the election of a Chief Magistrate for this ancient city, and the co'trse which the laws and customs of the city prescribe is this, you must nomi nate to the Court of' Aldermen two members of their body, duly qualified, to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and that Court must select one of those individuals so nominated by yourselves to fill the office. All the Aldermen who have served the office of Sheriffs of London and the county of Middlesex are eligible, as well as those who have already filled the chair, and those who have not discharged that duty. It is customary, in the first instance, to present the names of those gentlemen to the attention of the Livery who have not already passed the Chair, but it is your undoubted right and privilege to select and nominate two individuals duly qualified for the Court of Alder men, and it is imperadve on that Court to select and nominate one. To the Chief Magistrate of this great city are committed in an especial manner the preserva tion of the peace of the metropolis, and the rights and liberties of the citizens of London.—(Cheers.) In the true and unbiassed exercise of your undoubted privileges you will not be unmindful of the great interests you have in charge, or the important trusts which the free and popular institutions of our Corporation at once enable and require you faithfully to discharge.—(Loud cheers.) The COMMON-SERGEANT then came forward and read the names of those Aldermen who had not yet filled the Chair. Upon the narne of Alderman Harmer being mentioned, the cheering from all parts of the hall was tremendous, and the names of Alderman Thomas Johnson and Alderman Pirie received similar plaudits. The names of the other Aldermen having been read over, The Town-crier cried out " Liverymen, attend to your election. So many of you as w3uld have James Harmer, Esq., Alderman, and spectacle-maker, to be Lord Nla)or for the ensuing year, hold up your hands." Hcre a forest of hands were held up, and the Hall presented amost animated spectacle, the cheering lasting for several minutes. On the names of Mr. Alderman Johnson and Mr. Alderman Pirie being put to the Livery, nearly a simi lar number of hands were held up ; but, if there was any difference, the former gentleman had the EMAller number. The COMMON-SERJEANT then said the Sheriffs were of opinion that the nomination of the Livery had fallen on James Harmer, Esq., Alderman and spectacle maker—(Tremendous cheering)—and John Pirie, Esq., Alderman and plasterer—(Cheers.) The COMMON-SERGEANT announced that a poll had been demanded on behalf of Alderman Harmer, Alder man Pirie, and Alderman Johnson. Mr. W. LAWRENCE was then introduced to the Livery and said—Gentlemen, I stand forward to demand a poll or behalf of Alderman Harmer —(Cheers.) The very large and triumphant majority that has exhibited itself in the Hall this day, lead those who are the friends of Alderman Harmer to the conclusion that we shall end as we began.—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") I should like to hear those who oppose Mr. Alderman Harmer give a reason why it should not be so. I am not one of those who think, that, right or wrong a man in rotation should be elected Lord Mayor. I think that rotation may frequently be very properly interfered with, but I like to know the grounds and reasons— the why, and the wherefore it is interfered with.-.- ( Hear.) The Livery of London have not yet fallen ' into the absurdity of being dragged at the tad of this man or that, and it was reserved for this day to be shown whether the high-spirited Livery of London are to be dragged by the chariot-wheels of the most renegade of renegades—(Tremendous cheering)—to come up at the beck, at the call, at the whip and the spur, in order to do the bidding of their worthy master.—(Cheers.) Who among you will say the Times is his master ?—(Hear, hear, and hisses.) 1 ask you, w h o o pp ose Alderman Harmer, whether you would dare to appear here were you not backed by that journal ?—(Hear, hear.) Have you a mind of your own on that subject ?—(Hear, hear.) Many of those who have signed the declaration I have no doubt are honest men , but honest men ve r y fre quently commit very great absurdities, and I will ven ture to say that more than three-fourths of them never read that which they signed.—,,Cheers and laughter, and cries of " Ob, oh.") The consent of the Livery bas been always held in England such as to be worthy of being looked up to as a beacon and a guide, and wher ever an attempt has been made to tamper with the understanding of the Livery, that attempt has met with signal defeat.—(llear, and cheers.) I have no doubt that the manifestation of feeling in favour of Alderman Harmer displayed to-day, will be followed up with vigour, and that the attempt to defeat him will recoil on the hireling and the hirer. Would it be believed that any person would be found, putting. politics apart—for this contest is carried on, or attempted to be carried on, with a disavowal on the part of the accusers of Alderman Harmer of any intention to say ought against his moral character or political position, or as a man or a Magistrate—would it, I ask, be believed that no person would oppose him because he is the part proprietor of a weekly newspaper ?—( Hear, lvar, and laughter.) Yet. the mark which the Times has endeavoured to set against Alderman Harmer is, that he is the part proprietor of a newspaper which has a larger circulation than the Times.—(Cheers.) The Times says, too, that Royalty has been abused in the Dispatch. The Times never abused any body ! (Great laughter.) The Times never found fault with her King, or Queen, or Parliament, or Chancellor, or any private individual !—(Laughter.) They never did —they are not the parties—they are the innocents— (Laughter)—and they come here to-day in the persons of their friends to show what absurdities individuals can be guilty of who choose to pin their faith to a public Journal such as the Tinies.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) If dishonesty or apostacy is wanted to be described by a figure, it is done in one word, the Times—which has changed to every side, attached itself to all politics, abused every system, condemned all opponents, and not only all opponents but all friends. When Mr. W a lt er , w h o i s the proprietor of the Times, became a candidate for the borough of Southwark, he was rejected from that borough, partly by the means of the writer of the Dispatch, but more so by the electors. Well, then, there is the secret of the opposition to Mr. Alderman Harmer.—( Long continued cheering.) If Mr. Alder man Harmer had not opposed Mr. Walter the proprietor of' the Times, he would never have been opposed by the Times.—(Loud cheers.) I, there fore, ask the honest Livery whether they will attach themselves to such an individual as Mr. Walter, and allow themselves to be dragger; by him through the contest ?—(Loud cries of " No, no.") But, gentlemen, I have no doubt the result will be as every honest man hopes and wishes, namely, the success of Mr. Alderman Harmer, and the defeat and discomfiture of the Times.—(Great cheer ing.) It has been said that great confidence may be placed in the Court of Aldermen, and that, notwithstanding, the Livery may return Mr. Alder man Harmer, yet that the Court of Aldermen will reject him. Those who say that do not know the Court of Aldermen, There are honest men in that Court—(Hear, heat)—men who would be ashamed to do a dirty act ; but the Times is disposed to tieckle the unwary in the hone that some of the Aldermen will attach themselves to the chariot wheels of the Times, and (to their dity work.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) In conclusion, I have only to say that I know we shall show our enemies we have a goo d cause, and that our success is certain.—(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy BLACKETT then came forward, and said he hr2d little more to do than to second the nomination of his worthy friend Who bad preceded him. li e would not detain them long, but would merely bear testimony to the conduct of Alderman Harmer for the EVENING EDiTION%_, last twenty years, which he had himself witnessed, and he declared before his fellow-citizens, who had that day. triumphantly returned him by a shew of hands, that that conduct in every instance of his public life, vchla h he had witnessed, had been that of an honest, consistent, straightforward friend of freedom.—( Loud cheers.) A t ; his acts had been accompanied by great humanity Oa kindness to those. who were connected with him. 11 should leave the matter now in the hands of ,e friends of 'he Livery, and he trusted they would COa' firm the propriety of the choice of Alderman liarmer'a friends, by returning hi.n triumphantly (Vehement cheering.) Mr. GEORGE MEEK said it was the wish of those gentlemen who had opposed themselves to Alderman' Harmer on the present occasion, to have proceeded to the immediate business of the election, without treater in.' any portion of their time : but the remarks that had ' been just made rendered it imperative that they should avail themselves of the opportunity so kindly offered them, of explaining the principles and motives on which their opposition was based. There were some things to which one and all of them had so undoubt ed a right, and which they all possessed as CO'° mon property, that if any attempt were ma de to deprive even the poorest of them of any of th er thing., they would a ll m a k e comm o n cause, as if be injury to one were an injury to ail. That was true a a d things, and als o o f p r i nc ipl es . F or i ns t a nce, if a is of ruffians were to f orce th emse l ves i n t o the Hs" which they were assembled for the performance of the highest municipal duties, and that the meanest tn ol4 them were to fall, all would make common cause, and one would ask whether the party came to oppose or suPP° P Alderman Harmer, but they would unite in drivinl2' the enemy from the door, and keeping them out. ' 9 it would be if Russia or France made an aggression lien their shores.—(Cries of " Question," and u p r oar.) Tt i would make common cause whatever was their P ff nli t l and unite in repelling the common enemy.—( That was the spirit, and these were the prineillo • upon which they appeared before the Livery all present occasion. There was not one particle of tical feeling, and not one parti c le of per s onal feeling i f this whole matter. (Lau g ht er an d cries ° 4. Oh, oh.") Many of them, and himself Olt the number, were politically united with Alder% Harmer. (Great uproar, and cries of are a renegade Tory now, like the Times.") In 4V A .. . - times he (Mr. .Meele) had f oug ht th e c ause a people by the side of Alderman Harmer, ana opposed the most intolerant and rec kless pa t ' flea had ever tyrannised over a free• peo ple d (Roars of laughter and great cheeri ng )—and heLt e l - assure them that if personal or politi ca l f ee ling bad thing to do with the matter, he would be the first t° descend from that place and record his vote fa l h t t of Alderman Harmer.—(Loud cheers.) He ne ,e "'", - wished nor intended, nor had he any ri g ht to saY „" word disrespectful of Mr. Alder man H ar mer, bu t could tell him that many hands had been held %- against him that day which had often shak e his in all cordiality.—(Cries of " N o , n o ," " Yes, Ye_t he He was no stranger to Mr. Ald erman H a rmer, an d had watched his conduct, and he would say that as Magistrate it had been upright, independent, age honourable—(Loud cheers)--and in the part belle ' taken in the present contest, he found that Mr. A. ht ; man Harmer, by the amenity of his manners, an d ""„f kindness of his disposition, had conciliated a , degre e b ", personal friendship creditable to the magistrate and ii t man. But the "head and front" of Mr. Alderman's ret,, mer's offence was in that publication (holding up a co al of the Weekly Dispatch, which was followed by In u . cries of " Off, off," and hissing for several minutes.)
