LLECFION Ot- A LORD MAYOR. It e con t es t vas yesfrio-1 again renewed with inerrt , ied energy on the part of the friends of Mr. Alderutatt Son , it ; while on the other hand, the of the Lord Mayor seemed to have greatly ; for by the state of the poll, publish ed at 12 o'clock, it appe,red that only 55 bad voted for his Lordship, anti that Mr. Snnth bad polled 273. 'lnc H a ll 'vas several times during tint! tottrse of the morning the scene of much con t. stout, p:trtictilatly d b , lit two o'clock, when Sir Cnitis a v peared on the hustings.

At three o'clock the clost_d, and the following statement was STATK OP THE ROLL.—THIRD DAY. Alderivan.Stolto Mr.:llderni:ot . The Lord Nlayor 553 Mr. Alderman Goodbehere 522 Alaerinao SMITH 11.. w came forward, with the lineation of returning thanks, but from the con fitsioo that took phice , t as unable to obtain a -bearing. Ile therefore bowed to the Meeting, and recited, pointing to the State of the poll. Mr WooeFit was now • loudly called for, and Hurcnisis ratite forward, but was for some time'imable to obtain a .hearin. Silence was at hogth oboired, and. he proceeded. From the new-tangfe&doctrioe that had beet! doled O ut to the Meet tug on the previous day, and front the warning that to,t-ti given to hint to desist from political discussion by one of the Sheriffs, he felt it necessary to say, that if be talked to the Alt-rtilig of corruption, i.e was not to be moiler stood to ntt an the House of Commons ; and it he should, ut time course of his -observations, make any allosions to the unfair conduct that took place on the sliew or hawk on Monday, he was not to he understood as referring to . that Gentleman. It was an acknowledged fact, that one tree was worth twenty pressed men, aod he . rejotced that notwithstandin g the dreadful hated of power under a hich the people laboured, .they (tad arid 7 days to breathe the air of freedom. The Worthy Alderman Smith had been found fault with for leaving the Hall ; for his own part, it was a source o f no atuof giatification to blur that fie had done so, for under the circumstances in 'whi c h the country eras at present placed, every meeting of fifty pet,ons might be dissolved at the fiat of a Magisitale, and it they did riot disperse within one hour would be liable to suffer the. pain of imptisonment. It was only necessary for the Livery to exert themselves still to nominate the Lard Mayor* and Alderman Goodbehere to the Court of Aldermen. In the humhie duties of parish—even the office of a petty constable re quired ihat -the person filing it should possess those valificatio:.s necessary to enable him to • execute his duties, and how notch more necessary was it for the person filling the Civic CbaV to be eodowed with qualifications suitable to the .office. The question was, had Mr. Smith those titlitlifica ' t ? He would asset t that he bad not, and fur ' tl!er,that he was not worthy to fill the He trusted the Livery would not suffer the canse to be lost by the want of exertion on their parts. fle did not thsFair at seeing the majority of Mr, Smith, for it sliew-ed how his friends lied exerted theniSt Ives, while those on the part he advocated had not even solnited a single vote, and declared • that eveiy thctor had come forward of his own accord in summit of the Lord Mayor. Mr. HEALY, who followed the last Speaker, seemed to have in'used into hint no small portion of spit/is ' lle was not di,couraged at the state of the poll, but father satisfied with it. It had been said the pies, -lit was lint a political questito , ; he would affirm [hot it was, and tin less a one thau--whell er the Livery should or should not bi- slave. ? All the Livery had to des was "to come straight forwards' and vote." Here the Speaker re iced. Mr. Wooent —The contest bad been carried on another day, and I: still seemed that their adver saiies were considerably in adViiliCe On the poll ; but not ve West a odiog , he saw fin reasonable grounds f o r r egr e t, and the poll would still be carried on. NVlieu lie stated that no efforts lisd been made to ob .. fai n sntri ages, Oor expellees been incurred by them, while every nerve had .be en .strained by the 01410. sire party, it could nut he wondered at that they shotthi he far a-head. It was hardly fair to ques tion the reasons of gentb men for supporting a system under which they fattened, but he could not but blush to find that there were such men. llow t -ver they might- be behind in the number of votes, they would still speak to.tht?rn in a tone of defiance. They had, by virtue of their power, bronght up the whole united forces from time (lit-, ferent public o ffi ces, which be enumerated, and which he declared to be no less than the re pository of corruption. When he looked at the ft-amines of some of those who Came up to poll; 81)41 saw with what unwillingness they appeared .to• give that which was wrung from them, he could not help pitying them ; but still there were some who, as of old, came forward, and - offered tip their children on the altar of Belial, -• am! gloried in their shame. He would have been astonished at the language of their opponents, dill. { lie, A nd every one that 'heard him, not know, that 1 - i„, i ,„d ence was always accompanied by ignorance. They boasted of having the respectable and hide- Tendent Gentlemeo of the Livery in their favour. - :Who had made tl.em Gentitmen ? Had not those who heard 'him labouled to make them so ?—Yes, .and those Gentlemen were now rewarding thew for their pains. But be would say, that their Ito 'sitiou was not correct, and that they were not enti tled, by the present state of the case, to use such -language, and, in the words of the Poet, he would answer to Client say— " That one day, one honr'afglarious liberty, Was worth a whale eternity cif bondage." - - Thosg,. were the feelings he: cherished in his ho. •som, anal he.trusted every one. who; heard hitn did the Sallie. As-it--was said that trien'ofThe present , day were fit for any thing, and the love of ma chinery was so great, he should not wonder next year it he were to find a cast-iron AdMinistration, guarded by iroo spike s , especially as an automa- ton ';;tire bad already been invented who could' play at chess. if they could make them play, they might also make them speak. In former days, Ministers stood forth and vindicated the systeM by which they fattened ; but that was pot the case no w, for, instead of .argument, they carried their point by force; for the best of reasons, they could not argue ; they therefore told their opponents they should not. No, they did not want noise, they wanted quietness, and therefore told the peo ple to go to sip in the storm. They not with standingtdeservOl some credit, for they wished the people to stop at home, to keep within doors, and not to catch cold. He had be. n told yester day, while on the Hastings, that it would have been much better if certain persons had vopped at borne and attended to their business. low he thought this to - he one of the ;nest specitneas of impudence ever heard of ; tor, in fact, that sys tep which those Gentlemen had sopported, had not. oily taken all their hnsiness away, bitt the it homes also; and it was rather too hare-faced now 'to tell the meeting to go home to that which they well knew they had not. Would the steering like to have England reduced to the state or Ireland, where the law was carried at the point of the bayonet and by the thunder of cannon ? The Li very must spew that they not only knew what were their rights, but that they were determined to have t tent. He had not expected to Witness the absence of some persons whom it had been usual to see' marshalled• in their ranks ; but he still trusted, that - before the contest was closed, they would appear, and that the Meeting would make their voice heard, though they were unable to command. If they were hilt united, they might defy every effort to defeatthem, tor no power on entat could do it. Art er-oneons supposition had gone abroad, that the Loud Mayor was not unwil ling to•a,!,ain • take upon himself the- Office ; hut this was not the fact, as Lordship had declar ed, that in the event of being nominated ,to the Court of Aldermen, he should decliie, and in or der to ensure the election of Mr. Alderman Good- beherz, it had been deemed necesssary to furupte his Lordship's name with that of the worthy Alder man last mentioned. The present state of the p shewed the exertions that had been made for their opponents, and as they told now brought up their forces trona tlic barracks, the meeting li,nl the op portunity of knowing what they amounted to,and it now only remained for them to shew what they could do. lie Or confi lent that the state ot, the poll to-morrow would be more favourable to the cause ; and concluded by declaring, that how ever they might be left in the back ground, nei ther threats, nor .any, conduct that it might be thought fir to adopt, should intimidate or deter them from porsuing the object in view. - ME. WILLIAMS came forward, and said a few torus, but i► was impossible to collect what, from the uproar that ensiled. he meeting was then adjourned. BOXING. [FURTHRR'PAP,TICULARSI The fight between Randall and Harsco, 'the best light weight. men in the boxing list, took place on Tuesday at Shepperton-point, near Oat- Is , the steward Of the manor of Moulz-y-hurst haVll44 expr,ssad a desire to row with the Commis sary and the white-bag men of the day, which tats refused. The distance from London kept the r i ng . ratite'. select. The• combatants fought for 50 guineas a-side. Randall had always gone up to his adversaries heads, and finiy,bed them mas terly; Colonel Barton, his patron, brought him into the ring under his aria in,the best condition, weighing about JO s to ne 7or 8 pounds. BelaSco is the only one of the Mosaic tribe of this day that promises to maintain the name of a Mendoza or a Sam; al, hough defeated in a sanguinary com bat with Reynolds a few days since, he did not lose a particle of his fame. He appearetl i n t h e ring about eight pounds heavier than Randall, in first-rate condition. They snipped in a 24-feet ring, and turned to. Betting Ilto 8 on Randall, whose seconds were Tofu Jones and Jacobs and Little Puss seconded Belasco. Th e combat was not of that ruffianing sort which we have seen, but it was a master-piece of fine science. Round 1. -It was nine minutes before the men attempted to hit, such was the caution for drawing first blood, on which immense sums were rending between Christians and .lews.— The first move of Randall's left hand at the body was scien;- titieally parried; Rahtlall, however, succeeded in placing two or three artists, rather to get the Jew to break his guard than any execution it, did. At length they excha;ix,,it minter hits on the head as quick as'an a rrow ,and in closing Do ano went down ; there was no ;,loud, and betting steady. 2. in counter hits, after much measurement ill sparring, Belasco drew blood from Randall's lip, which streamed down his breast. This ceremony being finished, the men got on their mettle, and in a rally both received smart hits noun the Nye. They disengaged and got into another rally, and Randall shelved rattle!: hest fighting ; and in a close belase u went down. These two rounds occupied 23 minutes. 3. A short round r.dthout mischief. The parries made in this round were masterly. A few light body hits were placed, and Pelaseo went (limn. 4. This round put. Randall's friends in high tune. After many dexterous tuancruvres, and changing. p"sition,lase° was hit. down by - a severe left-handed Wass - through his guard. 5. Betting 2to 1 and 6t02 on Randall. Little ceremonies were laid aside. shewed some fighting, h u t hi s h i ts were wild and at bad distance ; Randall placed a good hi t on the cheek, which Belasco reCuroed. In a close, Raod a ll showed the hest of ire fighting, and floored his adversary. ech and last Round. Some scientific hits and parries were made, and after steadying himself, Randall gave his adversary a dreadful right handed hiow on the eye, which settled the ilght. lle fell senseless, and exhibited a frightful head. No part of the sight of the eye was visible, until after Belaseo - was put to bed at the Anchor at Shepperton. Ilandall went to see his fallen adversary in het!, and then returned to the ring not much hurt. The battle lusted 5.1 minutes: s"i second battle was fought between Massa, so called, a little black, and another novice called. Pug, who probably derived this nmne from w turned up nose. It was the worst fight ever seen. They hugged each other about an hour a n d a half, until hundreds left _the. ring, and those pre. sent called for a draw to let "another couple come in. Massa got tired first, and was beat. A third fight took pl:►ce between the Moulder and Jack the Bu'chcr. It was a manly standup fight for nearly an hour. The men exchanged hit for hit in every round, until nature was exhanst e d and' the Butcher won it, but both were severeky punished. Tuesday night the ►remises of -Mr. DA ( Vson, Covent -Gard en ,M.arket, were burglariously en-' tered and robbed of considerable properly. OLD BAILEY, OCTOBER I. Milian!, Mackay was convicted of larceny, in stealing two planks, the property of Marm:iduke Isaac, as Was also Thomas Roney, in stealing a shift and two handkerchiefs, the property of Caroline Burney, at Liruehouse, the prisoner having committed the offence whilst in posses sion of the prosecottix's house for a few days tiuder an execution. John Jennings, charged with stealing a watch tromsthe person of Thomas Dovey, was next put to the bar. It appeared by the prosecutor's tes timony, that having got drunk at the Nelson's Arms, Kentish -town, he laid his head on the table, and fell asleep. The landlord awaked him, and asked him it he had lost any thing, when he found his clothes unbuttoned, and his watch taken away. The landlord deposed to his having watched the prisoner on seeing him affect to sleep near the List witness, and observe him draw the watch from his pocket, aw►cl attempt to leave time house . by the back door, when lie collared and detained . hint. The prisoner in his defence said, he had been all day with the _prosecutor, and finding him drunk, took his watch, in order to keep it in safe ty for him, Verdict—Guilty. Mary Ann James, indicted for stealing five spoons and a sheet , from her logdings, was ac quitted. in consequence of an error in the indict ment, the lodgings being desc►ibed as let to the prisoner's husband, whereas the contract had been made with her, and no husband ever ap peared. Richard Hartley, an old Chelsea pensioner, was convicted of stealing a shirt, but on the recom menda.ion of the Jury, and in consideration of 15 years' service, was fined one shilling, and im mediately disclwrgen. Hilburn Chapple, an old man aged 7 7 7, whose ease has been ati,ady fully detailed to the p,,blic iu lie re p o t is of his exdotinar ion at the P('`ice office, oils i‘omfl god y of stealing from anothrr' o.an named Jim Guldwo; thy, three one pound nolvt.-, by efoieing hint into t public-house, and on pretence of playing at a game of hazard. The It Ecotinaa then sentenced all the prisoners who have been convicted of different offences dur ing the Sessions on the London side, ilt.d for the purpose of clearing the gaol of as many of the prisoners as possible, as it is extremely cro.vd ed. Thittecn prisoners were sentenced to seven years' transpot Cation, Se%eft were sentenced to be transported for the term of their natural all convicted of picking pockets ; two were sentenc ed to be transpot ted for fourteen years, convicted of hating forged notes in their possession, know ing them to be forged ; ten were sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for various terms. These were all the London convicts. The Court then proceeded to sentence several on the Middlesex side. Mary Chambers, for killing her husband (con victed of manslaughter), was sentenced to one mopth's imprisonment in Netrgate ; It m. Cham berlain, for manslaught er, was sentenced so a year's imprisonment the House of Correction; eigh teen prisoners were sentenced to be transported for seven years ; eight were sentenced to be tran sported for life ; three for fourteen years ; forty-five other Convicts were sentenced to im prisonment for various terms. The hardened character of of the convicts sentenced to transportat b. 4 for life is lamentable. No one of them went from the bar without utter ing some species of insolent remark. One of them, Margaret Hunter, begged two more days to be added to her st-titence,—for luck. There are yet 200 prisoners to be tried,- and the Sessions will not be finished before Saturday sennight. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THE SHIP CALEDONIA. MArtstoN-Housr..—Yesterday Mr. Fitzgerald, one of the owners of the Caledonia, now lying at Liverpool, applied to the Lord Mayor upon the following subject :—A report had, he stated, ap peAred in The Ohserver Newspaper, tinder the head of Mansion-House, which had no truth whatever in it. Indeed, so far from bearing the face of probability upon it, the veryparties who were desetibed as the institutors of the charge had ex pressed the utmost astonishment at the insertion o f what they were convinced was decidedly oppo site to the circumstance that occurred in the pre aence of his Lordship. '.l he report was aimed at his and his brother's character, had produced the greatest unhappiness amongst his relatives and friends, and could have originated no where but in the mind of some secret and malignant enemy. The public had naturally received an impression u pon reading such a detail, which it would be difficult, without the Lord Mayor's assistance, to remove. Putting the injury to mercantile pursuits out of the question, that which bore upon him and his brother, as gentlemen, was almost irreparable. The characters they had sustained in the city had never before been questioned, and many respect able persons could declare that they had uniformly acted with honour in aLI public and private trans actions. The conduct . of Mr. Wall, who made affidavit in the• teeth of the statement alluded to, proved that there was no truth whatever in those monstrous charges it contained; and the declara tion of the Lord Mayor to the same effect would operate ,powerfully in removing the consequences Of the calumny. The LouD MAYOR.—I have teen the affidavit of Mr. Wall, and was not a liti le surprised at it, for it varies essentially 'from the aeconot he gave here. There was (and my recollec tion is flesh upon the subject) a strong similarity between some Of the circumstances stated by him, and those which the account you complain of represented. Mr. Fitzgerald.-ii assure your Lordship, that instead of 130 passengers, there are now but 12 on board the Caledonia.: The rot have been recompensed for the accident Which pre vented the vessel from sailing, and are Many of them gone to . Anierica. The delay arose from mere accident. The Loan MAYOII. - - , An -- accuunt of the transactions with. which yourname has been coupled, which was embodied in' the report of What took place at this office, was transmitted /root Liverpool to this City in a It: slip, apparently a: newspaper slip, some days a go . was sent upon the author' rity of 'a person in Liverpool, where the scene was said to have: existed. There was a similarity between the strong peculia-! cities detailed in that printed account, 'which has evidently been copied, and the relation given by Mr. Wall Mr. Fitzgerald.—lt is evidently then the production of some cuemy of ours at Liverpool. Surely the law could not sleep if such things were proved against us. 'We are ready to abide by the conseqnences of any idha of prosecution, bat let us at' least have-some justice done to us, and not be the victims of a vile and unsupported detail of grievances that never existed. It was asserted two that there seas a fever on board; that irf just as false as the rest. The.Lodn MAYOII.—I cannot prescribe limits to the Editor; of Newspapers. I cannot interfere with them. The account of which you complain had its origin in Liverpool, front which place, as I stated before, a printed paper containing the par ticulars was transmitted to this city. The declarations of 3 Mr. IVall, when the grievances were first intimated to ►nee (lid not at all tend to remove the impression likely to be wade by the printed paper. They had a different effect. Mr. Fitzgerald.—l beg your Lordship, if it be not depart. ing from the rules you observe in office, will assist me in re , moving the impression that the charge was made - before you. The Loan MAioa.—Yem must perceive that it is not utf province. I cannot interfere one way or. the.other. My time cannot be occupied in giving opinions upon the reports of Newspapers. I studiously avoid entering into contest. Mr. Fitzgerald bowed and retired. A NIGHT rxritoLF. DISCHARGED FOR INFAMOUS CONDUCI"fO A GIRL. UNtoN-MALL.—Owen Rcarden, a patrole who belonged to the Great Dover-road tratch, was brot►ght from the watch-house of St. George's, Sonthwark, yesterday morning, before Sir Jori I'INHORN, and two other Magistrates, and was charged by an i n t erest i ng girl, about fourteen years of w;(., with .assaulting her and attemptins to violate her person in iris ‘vatch-box. The grin• cipal facts of this case are as follow Omitting that part which is of a nature too indelicate lot• publi cation) : Oa Tuesday afternoon the compl a i nan t, Mary Doley, whose father and mother arc respectable people, and resid e at Case Horton, Surrey, came to town for the first time in her life by the op position coach. The coachman, as he WAS pass-. in through Case Horton, took up several persons, a:111 offered to drive them .to Loudon free of ex pence, as lie only wanted to shew more passengers than the other coach. The congilaioant, without speaking to her friends, got on the coach, and CniilC If) to Wit without any money in her irockrn, When she at rived in «mit she expected the coach. she emne by would return again immediattlyto Case Horton ; but finding here! For, site resolved to walk bete;:, knowing; the uneasiness t'lle SllOlllll give her parents by being absent all night. It was dark when she ero,scd the water, and by the time site got to the Ohelisk (having wondered out of her way), the %vetch was set. She there indttir< d for the Dover Toad, and walked on until site met with a watchman. Site told lite situation, and he said it would be fGlly iu b et - attempting to walls home that night ; she had no money in pay for a lodgin g ; an d did not k now w h at to do. While t hey were in conversation, the prisonei U, en heat don (who has a wife and several children) came up and offered to let her sit in his watch-box until day-light. She gladly accepted his offero anti went with him to his box. When Reardon: hat! been his rounds, he came to his box, and began to take liberties with the comnlainant ; she called for assistance ; he offered her a shilling, wit 4 iell she threw away'; he then offered her a 3s. piece, and acted in a most gross and brutal manner. She got out of his hands, and Went to the watchman whom she before spoke to ; he took the Complainant to the watch-house, where she toil her story. The night constable (heron) sent a co;;t able to fetch Reardon to the watch-house ; when !te came, and was in formed cf the clarg . :,', he denied it, and said he was sure he bad not a 3s. piece, and said, •. Lo help me God ! I have not a three shilling piece, anti what site has said are all lies.'• The n i g ht constable. ordered him to be searched, end fount! a shilling and a three shilling piece on this person.. He locked him up, and brought him and the girt before the Magistrates next day. The Magistrates examined many witnesses, o'rr.i after reprimanding him, disrharged him from his situation. The girl was cent home to her friends. CEULD STRALING.—A brute in the shape of * human being stole a child lately from its riven:* in Liverpool ; and actually crippled the child, in order to make it an object of commiseration ; • a nd with the helpless infant called to solicit charity at flooton-hall,• in Wirral, the seat of "Sir T. S. STANLEY, Bart. From thence he proceeded to Chester, where he was traced by the father, of the little sufferer, and happily apprehended FlRE.—Monday last, at seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mrs. Locgley, Avery Farm-row, Chelsea, which threatened serious consequences. In about half an hour engines were arriving from all parts, and by the prompt exer tions of the-neighbours and firemen, and a plenti ful supply of water, it was at length got under, but the greatest part of the premises and furniture were destroyed. The fire was caused by the dill.. dren taking a quantity of shavings out of a cup board, which they set fire to on the parlour hearth; the blaze colinminicated to the wainscot, and in a few minutes the whole place was on fire.--The children were with difficulty saved. A few days since,' as some Gentlemen belonging to the fishery on the river Arun, above Arundel. Bridge, were drawing for mullet, with which that river abounds, their net became so loaded with fish that they were forced to apply additional strength to get it ashore, when it was found to contain upwards of. two tons weight of perch, sal mon, trout, pike, roach, arid other fish, the prin cipal part of which was generously given to the poor.
