The

The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Recorder, then left

The Deputy Town Clerk. adyancirg on the Hustings, said they
hind heard (rain their worthy 11:corder the high and important pri-
vilege which they were then awentihled to exercise: it was. therefore,
unneecewary for hint to enlarge upon it. Ile then dire:ate' the names

The name. of 'bent Aldermen being submitted to the Livery. the

turned to the Court of Aldermen. This havine been declared by
the Pepittyrown Clerk to the Liven., the Sheriffs retired to com-
monly:tic the PAW to the Court of Aldermen. In about half an
hour the lend Mayor. de. he. returned to the Iltastings, and
The Rfeon nett said, that the Sheritfe haring reported to the I
Court of Aldermen that die choice of the Livery hail fallen upon
Alderman tiarratt and Alderman Venable% to be returned to that
Coon, far one of them to he chosen Lord Mayor for the year en.
suing, the Court of Aldermen hind declared that Alderman Gar.
ran should be the Loral Mayor of that city for the next year. Al.
dennan Garrett was then invested with the chain of office by the
w rd -beare r.
Mr. Alderman cf•illtATT then addressed the Livery. He could
wure them, that he felt deeply impressed with the high honour
they had conferred on bim, ter electing I • to the office of Lord
Mayor. He trusted that the independence of conduct which he
h*tl exhibited in the &lice of his ahrievalty, would be an earnest
a his impartiaitty in the face of Lord Mayor. He assured them
that his etternens *mild be constantly employed in upholding the
bosomy, and in, forwarding the interests of the city. Ile believed
dist for the last 1540 years, his was the only instaide where a citizen
had; by rotation, revved the offices of Sheriff: Alderman, and 1...1
Mayor. Ile conchuled a very treat speech, by trusting that his
eanduet, while in office. would merit the approbation of his fellow/-
citizens. whose interest he had most deeply at bean.—(Loud ap-
pilaw,
. 31r. 'FaitEl.s then came forwerd, and said. that it was his
}laming duty to prop. se a rote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, who,
by hia urbanity of temper, hapartialiiv of conduct, and unceasing
labour, lot the beneth of the city, while he held that high ogiee.
did hinewif the highest honour. and had affetiled them all the
greatest satisfaction.—( Loud Checei.)
Mr. Deputy IttaVa seconded the motion, and upon the ques-
tion being put,
Mr. Hunt made his appearance- het he was received with cries
of " off." which c,mtintted till the lend t.lay.w was obliged
to e°i'c figwartl and When it heating fur the " wonlay Gentle-
man.'
:11r. lir XX then begged the gentlemen of the Livery to allow
him to tipeaka few words before the miestion was put. The sooner
they would give him a hearing the soaner his proposition would be
dispoired M. It bild just been proposed to them to pass a vote of'
thattki to the Lord Mayor, but before the motion was put he
wished to move an intendment ; he had iiimeelf always done his
duty, and he rinsted tint no timing or clamour would kt any
time diaettatle him front paroling that plan. He did not call in
upon them an one passing. but became there determined to support
the rights of that high city ; and when the gentlemen of the Livery
thought tit to oppose what he proposed, he only hoped they would
let it be a strong opposition and a short one. The Lord 3layor had
very properly asked him what he meant to move, and upon his telling
him, he observed. he did not see how an amendment upon the present
question could arise oat ii his objeet. Now, he contended it did;
he land moved—and the,rznilation was passed on Midsummer...day,
that the accounts of the Auditors should be published for the benefit
of the Livery, anti he therefore now moved, as an amendment,
that it be reed publicly, and read before the vote of thanks was put.
Fur. mikes that win dune, he contended the boot 3liyor had done
on that day. what he conceived to be quits curve: t.
Mr. Hoar then moved, as an amendment, " That the Resolue
tints passed on 3lidstintmeteay be now read."
Some interval elapsed, and no gentle an appearing to second
the motion,
Mr. I'XT exclaimed. "Is there no gentleman who will second
me''" tAfter looldng about the Hall for a short time, amidst
much TOughing and cries of " You can't get a backer. Hunt."
he observed a hand erected in the centre of the Hull.) This person
then made his way up to the front of the busting+, and said he
tithed to '.wont Mr. Ilant'e 'tuition. He gave hits name, upon
being asked, as Thomas Mitchell, needle maker.
3fr. 1.• NT said, a gentleman near hint had observed, that he
should like to know how they were to ascertain whether the gen.
demon (Mr. Mitchell) was S liveryman or no; cow he (3.1 r. If.)
would like to ask the gentleman how they were to know whether he
was one ?
Mr. Sit C !tat L then Satisfied the Hall asto bit being a Propel
person.
Mr.III:NT—A 'minter propinte, and is worsted by a needie-
st:dm, so you ace we shall make Something of it.
The amendment was then put and negatived by a great majority,
and the original rnwlution (hbe which and the following resolutions
see advertisement) was carried with much acelairatien.
The Loan Mayor then came forward, and observed that he
stood in a very different situation to the 3legietrate who had lust
'.undressed them. That gentleman was entering upon his office,
and tie (time land Mayor) had no doubt would exert all his efforts
in support of the high dignity and character of his station' whereas
he had nearly got to the close of his labours : and he could assure
the Livery, that if his past conduct lia.l not given aatistketion to
his fellow.ritizens, he feared his future conduct would not deo so,
for lie could not conscientiously alter it. When hr appeared before
thou last year he math.' an open and candid declaration of the
course of conduct he would itorme. Ile had not said that he was
infallible, but lie had promised to bring in aid to the performance
of his arduous duties all his faculties, and to set impartially. He
hail dcrhired that, without compromising his political princi.
plea. lie would never niake the 31ansionellotise a place for political
intrigue. Ile also promised to take care of the dignity of the Cite.
Rut that duty, so ettrititto to the public eye, did not font:, in his
opinion, the most essential duty of a Lord Mayor. He thought
punctuality in the perfigmance of the important functions of his
office was a most important qualification '; anti with 'nide he could
state, that no man for one minute had waited for hint when lie wa
engaged in his private business. The duties of the Justice Homo
were also a most important part of a Lord Mayor's business, and
to that he hoped he had paid particular attention. Ile hail in
all instances succoured distress, anti never rent any man to mien
if there were a chant' of his regaining his footing in society. In
every action during hie Mayoralty be was sure the Livery would
pot a 'Own! construction on his conduct, and by their vote of
tharke i.e famil that lie had thought rightly. Ile could assure
them that he felt a higher gratification at this vote than at
any that he had ever before been honoured with. It bad
been said. that an efihrt would be melt by him to be ro.
turned again as Lord Mayor, in secure th or 700 voten, the influence
of that otiice always gave to the pm:wren ; but in the face of the
Livery he declared, that he never wished to be returned to Pauline
went, or any other place, but be their tint ..... ght and independent
suffrages; and if' such were influence did exist, he recommended
them to get rid of it. lie again begged to express to the Livery
his unfeigned thanks for the honour they hail conferred upon him.
His Lordship, at the conclusion of his speech., was must loudly
cheered.
The thanks of the Livery were then voted to the late Sheriffs,
who returned thanks in very neat speeches.
On its tieing move' that the above resolutions be inserted in this
usual 'Morning and Evening Papers.
Mr. lir r r stepped forward and said, " I,Vhere is the money to
come from ?"
Great laughter followed this question, and the Common Hall
immediately after adjourned.
