ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.

The poll on Saturday was conducted with n
much spirit as on Friday. At the close, at three
o'clock, the numbers were as follow :
For Mr. Aiderunan Bridges 1,964
Mr. Alderman Thorp
Mr. Alderman Wuod

The numbers having been (lectured in the usual
way. there was the accustorned giantism srsificit of
biases, plaudits, hooting', and homing,.

Mr. Alderman BRIDGES came forward, and said,
" Gentlemen. 1 thank you ; 1 wish you every suc-
cess. plenty of emplot men% and plenty of roast
berf."--/Loud applanses. and a tuasait of hisses.)

Mr. Wttussts. then stood forward, arid endea-
voured, but without effect, to obtain a hearing; rue
idler braving the hisses of the assembled Livery-
men for several minutes, lie was obliged to retire to
make way for
Mr. Ottvvi, who said, the friends of Aldermen
Wood and Thorp were not at nil alarmed at the
state of the poll.--(Applause wed hisses.)—He ex-
pected that at this season there would he some
geese present, but he had only • few words to
utter, and wished the goose would be silent for a
few minutes. He had only to say, that the friends
of Thorp and Wood, who were to day engaged in
their honest calling, would on Monday *hew their
honest laces at the poll.—(App/oase.)—They had
three points to contend against ; power, corrup-
non, sod • partiality in favour of rotation. They
had no less than 2,50.0 packed votes to conteud
against ; vet if they were true to themselves they
must triumph, since the age of delusion in this
country was over. Since yesterday there had brew
a meeting in the Ward of Cheap, at which Mr.
Sheriff Rothwell presided. and at which a re-
solution wits come to to support the magistracy.—
It had been observed, on sawing the voters conic op
to-day for Aldermen Wood and Thorp, what well-
dressed men they were; this was said iii a sir-
castic and chuckling tout.; true, these were the
voters of Wood and Thorp, they were not so well
dressed as those of Alderman Bridges, but they
earned their living by the Ishoor of their hands.
If they lived as Alderman Bridge's voters did,
on the plunder of the public. they might then, as
those Gentlemen did, come up with their white
hats. their gold rings, and their dandy coats.—
(Applaare.l—M r. Oliver then adverted to the state
of our representation. and introduced the well-
known statement of the number of Burgesses,
Knights of the Shire, and Representatives for Cities,
and contended, that out of this corrupt formation of
the House of Commons, which gave the borough-
mongers so predominating an iokoence„ arose sill
the evils with which the country was oppressed.
He concluded by urging the Livery to persevere,
and he had no doubt but their efforts on Monday
would prove triumphant, and prove that they would
resign every thing, however valuable. before they
would give up the privileges bequeathed to theist by
their ancestors.

Mr. 11'iLLt•Ms again came forward, but was
received as before, with the vilest din which ima-
gination can conceive: there were, however, some
few persons in the flail who applauded him. He
congratulated the Livery• on the state of the pull,
winch *hewed at least a majority of 538 good men
and true, and he had no doubt but Monday would
increase the majority.
Mr. COATES was sorry the Livery would not
hear both sides, fur he was convinced the Gentle-
man who spoke last could have said little to the
advantage of the van., he espoused. He could not
consider their opponents had much cause to re-
joice : this was II day when the honest and indus-
triuus were employed ; but a ilav was approaching,
Monday, when the friend. of liberty would not fail
to rally. 'l'u•morrow, iiideed, was Sunday. and ■
day of rest : lie revered the salthath as much as tiny
wall could do, but as the sahlsath was made fur
nom, and not mall for the rebbaili. be thought it
could not be better employed than endeavouring
to protect those liberties which our ancestors had
hooded down to us.—(Applayse and hisses.)—With
respect to Alderman Bridges, he revered him as a
private individual. and would not fur it moment
compare him with Algernon) Atkins. But though
the men were different, their politics were the
same, and therefore he could nut support his
election. The coiiiest in which they were en-
gaged, was one into which they had been driven
by others; they had used every effort to induce
Alderman Bridges to declare he would, if elected
Chief Magistrate, perform
.his duty to the Livery,

LONDON.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 4. mg.

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday
and Thursday last. The Government of Fr 'bee
seem desirous of preventing the equipment of arm-
ed vessels by private persons within the harbours of
that country, for notice is taken of the arrest of
three persons at Bourdeaux accused of being con-
cerned in such an undertaking. The charge al-
leges, that the equipment of this particular vessel
was likely to injure the trade of Bourdeaux ; but it
is more probable that the ship was intended to act
either on behalf of the South American Inde-
pendents, or under one of their flags imu►ediately
against the commerce of Spain. No objection,
however, was made to the equipment of armed res.
sets at Bourdeaux o► Bayonne, by private indivi-
duals, for the service of the King of SPAIN.
Accounts from Madrid and Cadiz speck of the
continuance of the yellow fryer in the isle of
Leon, and of its Navin! extended its ravages,
notwithstanding the severest precautions, to the
town of Cadiz. Apprehensions are entertained
lest it may affect the crews of the ships in hsrb•rur.
We are surprised that the Spanish Government
have not issued orders for the ships to leave the
!labour at the present dangerous period, either for
some other port on the coast of Spain. or for a short
cruise of exercise.

The French 5 per Cents. are 69 f. 70 c.; Batik
Stock, 1,460 f. Throe prices are somewhat lower
thou those of the precerlisil; day.

A Flanders Muil arrived hot night, with l'upers

Accounts from Frankfort say that I Jewish houses
are preparing to quit that city, in order to avoid the perse.
cutions of *bleb their nation is the object. The rich bankers
Rothschild are color to settle at Vienna. Our readers will
remember that the Emptier of Austria has granted arm
patents of nobility, as a recompence foe the services which
they performed during, the last war.
Her Majesty the Queen of Ilse Netherlands arrived Tester.
