CITY ELECTION.
TUESDAY. DEC. 21.

WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT AND
ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN.

•
Omsiderable interest was excited yesterday by the election of
members tur the Common Council from the Ward of Fsningdon
Without. last year an anxious struggle was unsuccessfully made
for the return of )Ir. fiallowea, a.d it was espechd that hie
friends would make an efoet for his return at the present election.
At one o'clock Alderman 11'aithman took the Chair.

, .
The attendance was very numerous, and the meeting was con-
sequently held in the body of the church, as the ve,try-room dot
not afford sufficient accommodation. After the usual pnwlamation
holding the election was read over by the proper officer, the
names of the following representatives were then read over, who
were returned to the Common Council last year, and who were
candidates also on the present occasion :
W. J. Reeves, Esq.. Deputy ; Mr. Richard Taylor ; Mr. W.
Griffith; Mr. Jame' ('rook; Mr. John Blacket ; Mr. W. A.
Beckwith ; Mr. Vincent Fig:gips • Mr. Abraham Young; Mr.
J. W. Southgate; Mr. Samuel leoherts ; Mr. Edward Tickner
W. Vale, Esq., Deputy ; Mr. Charles A. Savage; 31r. H. But.
tcrworth ; Mr. William Patten; and Mr. T. C. Hansard.

Alderman IVIITIIMAW then addressed the meeting. They
were assembled to exercise ime of the must important rights. which,
as citizens of this great metropolis, they could be called upon to
discharge—the election of a tit and proper person to represent their
opinions and principles, in the Common Council of the Corporation
of the City of London. The Corporation had proved itself the
hest safeguard and protection of the chip, religious, and municipal
rights of the citizens, and they therefore owed it to the Corpo-
ration to elect men to represent than titer:, who would by their
vindnet be calculated to maintain its character, its honour, and its
independency. (Hear, hear.) This object could only be eftivted
by returning persons of rotpeciable character, of fair reputation,
and tried integrity. They would have an opportunity of considering
the claims of theseveral candidates who would appear before then',
and of investigating their pretensions as public nicti to public sup-
port. They wend.' elect persons of good private character; but
that, though an linponant considastion., was not the only one,
sonic men had greater aptitude than others for public business ;
sonic, WO, had mere time than others to devote to theduties of
representatives than others. The Corporation was a great political
body, and tonic:times interfered in questions affecting the interests
of the nation; but their constant, mere peculiar, and more appro-
priate duty, consisted in attending to the superintendence and
management of the interests of the city. The watching, lighting,
anti yawing of the city, were the important duties that fell within
their province. Such were sonic of the important trusts they were
about to repose Ia the representatives they were called upon that
day to elect. Ile had only further to bespeak the support of the
meeting in preserving artier, and procuring a patient hearing for
each gentleman who might be disposed to address them ; and he
hoped their choice would fall on turn who would be honourable to
their selectimi and serviceable to their interests. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. PERIAM proposed MT. Charles as a fit person to represent
the '4

Sir. Rose proposed, as a new candidate for the support of the
Ward, Mr. Hasushew. lie was an old and respected inhabitant,
a tried and attached friend of civil and religious liberty, and a man
who was held in high general estimation by his fellow.citizens.
A Gentleman proposed Al r. li. Turner, a new candidate. as a fit
and linnet prison to rcyresent the Ward in the Coimuon Council of
the Corporation.
141 r. Tli 0 M 1•80 N said he was unwilling to take any eart in the
present proceedings, but he was still more unwilling to have the
construction put upon his silence, that he had ether changed his
opinions, or abandoned his principles. lie was anxious to assure
the Ward, that they bad undergone no change whatever. Ile was
also lIIMIO4III to vindicate himself front a charge that had been pre-
ferred against him about two • ran ago--he had been accused of
being the Dictator. Such a character he would disclaim, and would
appeal to the several persons who from time to time had tepee.
seined the Ward in the Common Council, to do him the justice
to say, that after their election he had never preeumed to dictate to
them. The charge had not only been made by enemies whom he
despised, but by triends whom he respected; and he was therefore
anSious to set himself right with the meeting on that subject.
SOIIIC of the Minsterinl party had been indeed disposed to do him
more justice than his own • for in a conversation which one of
their present 31embers (31r. Itotterworth) had with him last year,
he said that he wished they had got rid of him (Mr. Thompson)
without meaningq, him any harm. (A laugh.) Vet he at the same
time admitted the consistercy of his conduct. Indeed he was at a
loss to know from what quarter he could derive any influence that
should subject him in the charge of being dictator to the Ward.
lie was not a member of any club in the II and ; he did not easel-
ate with any member of it, and therefore he thought be might be
at least free from the charge of exercising any sinister influence In
procuring the return of members to the Common Cr .moil. As to
the increased number of candidates, he was of opinion that this was
rather a subject of congratulation than otherwise. The Ward
ought to feel indebted to those who were on the right sitic—(A
laugh.)—who tame forward to solicit their eutfragea. It infused
life into their proceedings, and without such a competition their
annual electinn would he a mere matter of form, whelity they
would hare to netim the same sixteen members annually. lie
now carte to state the principal cause that at all induced him to
trespass on their attention on the present occasion. It was but a
short time ago that he had heard the gentleman who was to
have proposed his friend Mr. liallowa* was prevented from
attending that day in consequence of inuisposition. It devolved
upon him row to do so. Ile had not recommended Mr. Gal.
loway to them—they all knew hint. (Applause.) lie was a wan
of first-rate at titles, of laborious habits, of unblemished character.
They had riot a more efficient member in the Common Council t
indeed, lie might he fairly considered a lass to the Corporation due.
the time that he had rot been a member of it. lie hoptel they
MI tad now replace him in a situation in which he had rendered
such easentitil services. They had to deal with him as a public
man, and lay aide all trifling differences arising from a diversity
of opinion in religion. There was no ration of Europe whose con.
witution was so well e leuhted to confer the blessings and :elven-
wig •11 of practical liberty as England, and no man was mete de-
Emus than hint/telt and Mr. Galloway to see those advantages con-
ferred and diffused generally ; and it was therefore that they were
desirous nut of rev cation, but of reformation, and such reforma-
tion only as was rendered requisite and necessary by the Meremeil
wealth and the lamest I enlightenment of the people of the present
day. (Applause.) They were not now assembled to elect's parson
who was to preach to them, the* were called together to elect a
who would attesd to their loisl and municipal interests; and
o person, he was satisfied, would attend to them more efficiently
an Mr. Ciallowey. (flear, hear.) These were trying times to
the friends of liberty ; there was such an affectation of liberality
amongst the Mininers ; and such was the run of prosperity
throughout the country, that it behoved them to take care and rot
be misled by the specious representati ma that were made upon the
present postere of public atom. The reform of the !louse of
Cannons was tee yet efireted, and the people should not and
could not be satisfied until it was. Neither had the Sin Arts been
repealed ; let them not then think, because the lion sleeps, that he
Is thetetine (lead. They now had arrived at the list year, and
would therefore act with seeming liberality; but he hoped the
'utile would bear in mind that mow oldies,: were the persons who
• enacted Or executed threw laws, for the repeal of which they
.re all so anxious Ahe a few further observations on the ge.
rural state of the country, he begged to propuee, as a candidate for
its4d
their representation in the Co•nmen Council, 31r. Galloway, citizen
arid leatlieroteller ; and he was satisfied, if they spewed him, he was
a man who in every respect would do bonoc.r to their choice. (.Ip.
plsuse.)
:Ile. Matvnvnv emunwred in the tribute of approbation which
had bean pH d to Mr. (Otiosity by the worthy and eloquent mover,
and begged to second his 110111111111tiOn.
. I
Mr. III: T7le II WORT is Mt to explain what lout been ascribed to
hint as having said in a conversation with 31r. Thompson. (Much
cont./miens)
- - . _

Mr. tiiii.t.owaw requested a heaving for the worths gentleman.
There was nothing, he was satisfied, which bad fallen from his
Worthy friend hlr.Tlsagurson that would not hear to be examined ;
nor was there any mini more ready to subject hit assertions to air
investigation. (flair, hear.)
31e. tit:TT euwne Tre then proceeded to explain. lie certainly
had a (»Tumuli:anon with 11r. Thompson before the last election.
31r. Tiletlitatee then told him that he would give him some as
hard knozks as he had ever received. (.1 laugh). Whether he
said so with u view of intimidation or not, he did not know. lie
certainly admitted the general consistency of Zr. 3 Thompson to his
party, and this. he belteved„ was the whole purport of the conver-
sation that passed between theni.
31r. Twist r.tost wild, there were some persons who confound.ll
all proprieties of time, place. connection, Ste.; the worthy tiou le-
man was one of them, fur the conversation to which he (31r. 'I%)
alluded, occurred et the close, and not at the commencement of
the last election; and if he understood by " hard knocks" a dc.
tentainatiott to oppme hi n, he would rot show any want of such a
disposition on tlte present, any more than on a former occasion.
(A laugh.)
Ned I;I.ACKET said. this as the expression of " dictator," ap.

some severe animaaventior.s which he ihonght bud been too harshly

the meeting. A. t.t the influence which 3lr. Thompson

propose the four following questions to the several candidates
who appeared before them that day :-
1. M cold they obey their constituents ?
2. Would they support reform in Parliament?
3. Would they support retrenchment in the expenditure of the
city of London, and of the nation ?
4. Would they support the equalization in the representation of
Hungers of the Common Council ?
'flie worthy member proceeded to descant upon the pretensions
of the several candidate., and hoped that each of them wash! give
au explielt answer to the questions he had proposed.
Mr. 11•111. Ell, in reply to what had fallen from the last
speaker, said that party had erected SS much mischief to society
as it had ever conferred benefit, so that a great deal of
what list fallen from him might be regarded as sheer nonsense.
(A laugh.) As to 3lr. Galloway, he respected him as an indi-
vidual ; lie was a worthy and respectable man. Ile had not
gone into his private domicile, or mooted amongst his inhale
friends what were his opinions ; lie scorned such conduct lie
judged of 31r. Galloway from his own public declarations. It
was because lie avowed himself a disciple of Thomas I'aine that
he was op owed to him. Fur doing so on a former occasion he
had been denounced as • canting hypocritical humbug (much
laughter): but that did not affect him. (Much canhiskm.)
Alderman WAIT!! AIM! was of opinion that the worthy gentle.
man was pursuing a perfectly allowable course, and ought not to
be interrupted.
Mr. BARKER resumed; and after having detailed the cir-
cumstances connected with his personal embarrassmenta, expressed
that his opposition to Mr. Galloway was on the grimed of his bay.
ing avowal himself to be a disciple.of Paine.
.Mr.ll•Lcowcor. here came forward; he was received by the
general approbation of the Meetirg and spoke nearly to the fol.
lowing effect :—Mr. Alderman and (l'entlemen of the 11'ard of Far.
ringthm Without--Neither upon this nor on any former occasion
have I hesitate., to answer any interrogatories which may be pro.
posed to me on public or political subjects. On public grounds
only I solicited your support, and on public gonads only sun I
respoisible to you. (Hear, hear.) But what did I refuse to an.
swer ? I refused to answer questions onithe sohject of religion ;
and why ? Basun. I consider religion to be a ata-...it compact.lic-
tween man and his Maker; because I think man to be responsible
to thud alone fur the religious opinions be may entertain ;IKCA:bIe
I Inn an enemy to inquisitluns of every kite', upon religion, and
whether that inquisitum be a Catholic or a Protestant inquisition,
I ant alike attenuined to resist it. (Applause.) If I bad eon.
suited my own interests, I would have given an explicit answer.
which would hare satisfied any objection that may be raised agairst
me on the score of my religious opinions ; but I disdained to do
so, and I was determined to vacrifice my interests, for the purpose
of making a stand as an Englishman. art to mair.tnin the right I
had in common with every Englishman, to ti.ink in religious ;
matters for mytvlf. (Bear, hear.) it was net that I dreaded the I
exposure and fait explanation of me opinions, but I would not on..
duce the intolerance of such an inquisitorial invcati:avion.
ever may be my faults, my enemiescrenharenot imputed ambigitity
to Me. I mean only to speak the troth: an anibibainos v.an at.
ways means to speak something beside the truth. Whether my
principles be right or wrong, they are at least distinct, intelligible,
and avowed. (Hear, hear.) I COMO new In rile charge which has
been preferred against me; it is, that I propoand " The immortal
niemoey of Thomas Paine" as a meat at a public dirtner--at a din.
tier at • which Lord Erskine was to have madded. (Slight disap-
probation.) I mention this merely as a einrier, of narration, not as
of my adoption of the sentiment. (Bear, !tear.) Ilis memory was
proposed as "the powerful supporter of the riNhts of mankind."
I submitted to the Stewards that the toast we. liable to nascon-
, trnelioll, and that it might be supposed that we reoarded him as
the" theological supporter ;" I therefore subre tt 'we should pro.
Poae his heah as" the political supporter." The tozst was there.
fore a purely political one. and was one la which religion had to
I mean. (Applause.) it'hen I bast my adveraaries on this ground,
I was asked whether I approved generally of it.e writings el Thus.
Paine ? I certainly think Mr. l'ainc witie too much do not
adopt his errors and indiscretions, but 1 should not be justified to
reject all that he halt written, on account of his faults, any more

number of questions, you may propose; but I again utbatit al
that, on public and political ground. only have you n right tojudgc
of me. (This address was received with gent raf approbation by the
meeting.)
Mr. BUTTERWORT!! next alarmed the Ward. They had
known his principles by experience; he had offered himself to their
notice as the supporter of' the religion, the laws, anti liberties a the
country. 1)n theao principles he again came forward tosolich their
support. As to reform. he %imported it. nlthough he was not des.
posed to Rummel Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage. As
to retrenchment, he had, as a Member of the Comnion Council,
voted for the repeal of the Assessed Tara, And that was a andi-
cleat answer, he sabtnitted, on that pair t. As to reform, lie car.
vied it further than man• others, for he thought that mat very
word required reformation. His past conduct was before them,
and upon it be solicited a continuative of their support. ( fiefs.)
.Ir. FEAI2O X put several questions to Mr. Butterworth, to
which the latter ;gentleman declined to ),ire a inure cuplitit answer
than was contained in the abovetddrew.

The other 3'embers replied in the sflinnative to the questions
proposed by 31r. Patron, and a show of hands took place. The
election fell on Reeves, Taylor, tirilb:ll, Crook, Itkeket, Beck-
with, 11K:ins. 1 oung, Southgate, Itobcrts, Tidzacr,l'sle, Savage,
Butterworth, I'vdten, ai l t:alloway.
I'oll asked for Howard, Turner, Charles, and Ranshsw.
A poll accordingly wok place. which was continued in the vestry
until six o'clock, to the exclusion of strangors.

Alderman W.tiT RYAN said, he hopcil"the meeting, at this late
hour of the eveling. would excusu him for &riming from the
usual manner of reading out the names of the respective candidates,
according to the order of precedence then the nuttther of rotes
which each candidate had. lle would, with their permission. take

WARD OF CARTLE BAYNA RD.

In this ward, which returns ten members, there appearel to he
• long existing determination to turn out Mr. Ile way not
even returned in the precinct list. Mr. Pritchard, and (we bchevo
M %Hoppe, were the IRV candidates.

Mr. ORITCIII.III3 begil:ro address the Aldermin upon a sub.
jeet of great importance. e the election was proceeded in. Ile
then entered into an historical account of the prtrileges of the end.
revs of London. and brought forward • great deal of documentary
evidence, to prove that the right to tote for Members to tvrve in
Parliament, as well as for persons to fill the various ofllcas, was
originally vested in the freemen, householders of the city of Lon-
don, and not as it now was, exclusively in the possession of the
Lively. Ile contended that the law of the 11th of George the First,
which was made expressly for the purpose of settling the question
of the right of the citizens to vote, was a violation of the then cs.
hitting laws, and fraught with dangerous consequences to the public
lihtmty, inasmuch as it excluded all who were not of the Livery—
a name not known in the great periods of the establishment of pub.
lie freedom, ftom the exercise of the elective tramline. It was
evident that the repeal of the Act which thus confined the most
useful of privileges to a few, would be of incalculable benefit in
securing the election of the friends of the peoric. Ile. therefore.
moved Resolutions to the effect, that no pewon should he retuned
as a member of the \Yard, who would not pledge himself to sus port
a petition to Parliament for the repeal of tie 11th of George
regarding the right of election. (A pplattse. )
Mr. IV kites' said the Meeting :Hight rely upon his exenions if
they renamed hint. Ile should stand up for liberty while there was
a .tier mantling, or a abut in the lorker.
The Resolutions were carried, and the Alderman (J. J. Smith)
read the names of the persons returned by the I'recturt Meeting.
They were as tilts :—Mesars. Ilurtrombe. Evans, static, Hut.
locke. Iloppe, Fenton, jun. Topliss, l'ellitt, jun. farranc..:,
and Newman.
