Mr. Alderman Woos—" Gentlemen of the
Livery—Although I have so repeatedly r.ceived
the thanks of my fellow.citixeris, no instance has
occurred so flattering to My feelings as the present.
You have dose all I could have wished—all I had
presnined to expect at the hands of the Livery on
my ruining into ofilce, should my condset finally
meet your approbation. Your thanks are particu-
larly grateful to me, because I am assured they
come from the heart. I should, I think, be pretty
liable to censure, if I did not return my sincere
arknowledgments for the peal honour conferred
of me, in taking me out of the customary rotation,
and nominating ma to the Court of Aldermen as a.
fit and proper peen.° to fill the office of First
Magistrate of the first city in the world ; an
honour which tin time nor circumstance shall ever
erase from my memory. lam well aware of
the v 'flans misrepresentations of my conduct, a hich
have been propagated by hireling writers, the tools
els corrupt Adnimiatration ; but the approbation
of my fellow-citizens is an ample recompence fur
such attacks ; and I assure you, Gentlemen. that
tic threats orintinsidation shall ever prevent roe from
supporting your rights and privileges in any public
sitna•mois where I may chalice to placed. I re-
tire from office, conscious of having performed any
duty to the utittort of my power. I do not know
that I have left say onething undone. Even my
last pii! lic act (alluding to the pillory in the Hay-
market), though one of a very unpleasant nature.
I was determined strictly
to peifurio, however di.-
agreeable personally it might be : I felt that per-
sons convicted of such abotomithle vices should be
exposed in the most piihhc manner. Permit rte,
Gentlemen. again to return my sincere thanks fur
the honour yen have beets pleased spontaneously
to confer on ine."—(Great applause.)
