DEPUTATION OF THE LIVERY.

A requisition wits drawn up and nuinerotisly
signed. requesting the Lord Mayor to convene Is
Common Hall to take the sense of the Livery
upon the conduct of his Lordship, in endeavour-
ing to overawe the deliberations of a ranter Coin-
moil Nall, by introducing the military in o the vi-
cinity of the City ; sod also in abruptly dissolving
the Hall this day; anti a deputation WWI appointed
to ininied,ately present it to his Lordship.
. .

The LORD MAYOR, about five o'cloik, received
the deputation, consisting of about 30 gentlemen,
in the Cot►ncil Chamber, where he was attended by
the officers, and several of the Aldermen.
Mr. CAt.t.OWAY stated that the purpose of their
vivit was to request his Lordship to grant the object
of the requisitionists.
The LORD MAYOR, at snake length, defended
his conduct in introducing the military, saying,
that it was his duty to preserve the peace of the
metropolis, and that he should do it by such means
as his judgment dictated.
Mr. TtnPElt retuarked, that the object of the
deputation was not to discuss the question, but
merely to know his Lordship's determination ; and
that howeaier he might individually consider the
proceduie unconstitutional and improper, he should
leave its cou►ideration to the Common 14a11.

Tile Lona MAYON repeated his opinion upon that
subject, and further added, that 114 d lie known the
purtiort of Mr. Galloway's motion, he should cer-
tainly have permitted it to be discussed by the
Livery.
Mr. STEVENS thereupon congratulated his Lord-
ship affd the deputation upon the unanimity of their
sentiments as seenig his Lordship had remarked that
lie hail dissolved the flail, merely because he did
not know the trim, of the Resolution, and that had
he known it, he should have permitted its discussion.
Ilia Lordship would now, that that objection no
longer existed, gladly retrieve the error by granting
the I hill upon a very early day.
His Lordship hesitated, and said that several of
his brother Aldermen, more experienced than him-
self, had agreed with
motion, and exercise Ins judgment upon it before
he permitted any discussion.
_ .

Mr. PEARSON denied the existence of each •
right, and.conteittled, that, in the Court in which
they were then bperkittg, in the House of Com-
mons, and every other assembly, any member was
entitled to introduce u Resolution by a speech, nod
that it was quite sufficieiit fur him to Justify such
speech, by inswing the ',residing Officer that 'he
'outsides' to conclude with a Resolution. If this
were not the case, the Lord Mayor might, by ex-
ercising un incipient judguiesit, put a veto upon
any question, and prevent all discussion. Mr.
Pearson further observed, that lee had I o eee self at
the time etated to the Lord Mayor that the quee-
lion related to himself prim:molly.
The LORD MAYOR admitted this, but said, that
from :Nlr. l'eursoo's jocular manner, lie considered
that it was merely meal.
Mr. PE•RSON rep led, that all the jocularity was
on the part of his Lfil dbill 11. who, as long as he un-
derstotal from him (Alt. l'earsoil) that the proposed
measure was a vote of thanks to his Lorti.hiti, wide
that humour whirl) always characterised his con-
duct lie was pleased, admitted the speaker to
proceed, but t hat so
pried iit hie car 111..1 it was a rule of costume, the
Lout Mayor's scale of the impropriety of such a
discussi tttt for the first time occurred to him, and
induced him test:lndy to dissolve the Hall.

r. COATEI lutiycolicurred with Mr. Pearson in
his rental ks, and fat that the subject ought to
undergo the consideration of the Livery.
Mr. Alderman ‘Vairrtimatil also supported this
opinion, and stated. that when Brook Watson was
Lord Mayor, lie (11r. Waitlitnati) haul maintained
the saute doctrine, and that he was supported iu it
by Mr. Gurney, one of his illojesty's Counsel at
this moment, and that the then Lord Mayor haeiry
dissolved the Kill, his conduct was censured at a
atilisequent flail, convened fur the purpose, when
that resolution was put by the Lord Major
Tile LORD MAYOR Sold. that his time was much
occupied, uml risked, whether they could not unite
this tub route other Imsirreas.
Mr. Tirritt replsed, that if his Lordship phrased
Ire miglitincurpormte the question of Pailiamentary
Reform—or an Address to the Queen—or any
tther subject that might be equally 'palatable to

'I.


la tordsltip, would be 'limb agresobie 10 the
Livery.
Mr. PcAxiom observed. that as he did not see
the analogy between these subjects and the one con-
tained in the ft•quisition. tbey would tan his Lord.
ship's insagiataiie facishy, which, as it had once
found that bia iatradactiassofasidiersistwilbeeify64-
something to do with the Alien Bill, he might prob..
lily he able to supply them with some other question
avidly applicable.
rite LORD MAYOR was PICWWI to give all the
credit of this invention to Mr. Hume, who, lie said.
suggested the connexion of the two questions. and
the prospect of introducing his esplamition in the
House of CoMmons at the moment he did.

His Lordship finally appointed Monday, at
twelve o'clock. to answer whether he woielil call the

LON DON,
SATURDAY. SErrUment so. tem

Yesterday was observed us a holiday at the
Bank, but the private bargains that were trait-riveter,'
at the Stock Exchange marked the effects of some
rumours which had been sent abroad relative to the
immediate equipment of a large naval armament in
our 'sorts. The rumours, we have no doubt, were
wholly unfounded. The Consuls had fallen at
one period of the day so low as to 66 for money,
but they again gradually rove to 66i, es the in-
correctness of the reports began to be understood.
Confidence, however, is not generally felt in the
City ; many causes operate In 'Act the ptoverbial
sensitiveness of the monied interest, and among
these are principally to he noticed the agitation ex-
cited throughout the country by the unhappy
ceedings against the QUEEN, Slid the possibility
that our Cabinet might he induced to interfere in
the domestic concerns of Portugal.

Sovereigns were bought up yesterday in the City

The Livery• of London, in pursuance of ►he%r
Charter, exercised yesterday the most important ..1
their rights; in the election of the Chief Magistrate
of the metropolis. We hope that our readers ant
learn the elevation of Mr. Alderman THORP to the
civic chair of the metropolis with as much plea-
sure as we now announce it. In expressing our gra-
tification upon this event, we trust that we are wit
influenced by political motives merely, for although
the election of an honest and intelligent Whig to a
situation of such dignity and importance as that of
LORD M ATOR Of the City of London, is an occurrence
that must at all times prove extremely grateful to
our ferl►ngs, we yet think that the personal the-
reeler of Mr. THORP is such as must, independent
of all political considerations, render his elevation to
the chair a source of satisfaction to all classes snit
denominations in the State. It cannot be forgot.
ten that during the heats of two contested elec-
tions, his gentlemanly deportment on the hustings,
his affable and conciliatory manners, and the gene-
al esteem in which he was held for the ingenuous.
ness ■nd integrity of his character, succeeded n.
mitigating even t►t.litical animosities, and con..
pelled his opponents to admit his oilobtrtrsive
o:l4int to their own deference, and to the affectionate
regards of the public.

The election of Alderman THORP may be con-
sidered, ite seine degree, as unexpected. It cei-
tainly deviates considerably from the order of ruts-
lion too customarily observed in the successive
elections of Aldermen to the Mayoralty; but it serve:
very strongly to niat k the energetic feeling of
opposition to the measures of Government whir
is entertained by the Livery of London in general.
The City of London has, since the Re►olution, been
Uniformly regarded as the strong hold of those
enlightened principles of political freedom which
effected that glorious achievement, and placed
the illuStrious House of BRUNSWICK at the head
of the British Government ; but circumstances
which have given an unhappy distinction to the
present year seem to have infused new life and ani-
mation into those principles, and have given them
a proud and flattering triumph. It is • singe
lar circumstance, from which, however, we ven-
ture to draw a propitious thigliry, that the three
Chief Magistrates of the City of London for
the ensuing year should be Whigs. The Li-
very would not even admit of competition he-
tweets the open defiance of the Whig., and
the covert opposition of the Tories. They tlectril
the Sheriffs, Mr. Alderman WAirming and Mr.
WILLIAMS, by acclamation, and by uniting Alder-
Mgt Woou and THORP in their return of candi-
dates to the Court of Aldermen, as they did yes-
terday, they secured themselves against the possi-
bility of not having • Lord Mayor on whose poll..
tical principles they might rely with confidence.
Thore who defend the principle of rotation as the
best mode of choosing a Lord Mayor, please them.
selves, and strive to deceive others with the idle
remark, that in the short space of one year no evil of
any considerable magnitude could arise to the City or
to the State, even from a Lord Mayor of unsound
constitutional principles. But is it no evil to habi-
tuate the public mind, even for the space of twelve
months, to entertain • distrust and a disrespect
for the depositaries of power ? Is it no evil to ac-
custom the populace to hiss and hoot at a Ma.
gistiate, even in the moment that he is engaged
in the performance of his magisterial duties,
and while his person is adorned with the symboit
of authority, which, for the time, ought to bestow
upon it a species of political sacredness ? We are
not of those who repose a blind confidence in the
discretion and consistency of the million; we Vein
appreciate the influence which forms and habits
must ever exercise upon their understandings, ant'
we should sincerely lament that the robe of the
Magistrate should even fo► a day fail in enforcing
that respect to the person who wears it, which, in
the eye of reason and policy, ought to belong ¶t'
him in his official capacity.
It will be seen in our report of the proceedings
connected with the election of Lord Mayor in the
Guildhall yesterday, that • Liveryman proposed a
vote of censure upon the LORD NiAIIOR (Alderman
BRIDGES), for having endeavoured, ea it was stated,
to overawe the deliberations of a former Commove
Hall, by introducing military into the city. The
occaeion to which this charge refers must be
familiar to the minds of our readers. The sgi-
tation of this tender subject probably seemed
irksome yesterday to the Loan MAYOR, for his

Lordship abruptly dissolved the Common Hall,.
upon the ground that the buoineyr for which it had
been conveued was terminated by the election ef
Mr. Alderman Timm. In consequence of this re•
solution of his Lordship, a Deputation causiatiag of

shout thirty Liverymen fruited upon hint about five
o'clock yesterday evening with a requisition very
numerously signed, requesting his Lordship to con:
♦eue a Common !fall for the purpose of taking the
sense of the Livery upon his Lordship's condict
in requiring the presence of troops in the City, and
in abruptly dissolving the Common Hall yesterday.
A long and rather an interesting conversition took
phre upon this subject between the Loan
MAYOR and the Gentlemen of the deputation (a
sketch of which will be found immediately subse-
litlVlli to the report of the Common Hall), and the
Loan MAYOR finally pronounced that he would

An article from Stutgard, contained in the Ger-
man Papers which arrived last night. mentions
the institution in that city of an association formed
for the encouragement of nations; manufactures.
This association has recently adopted several ste6
lutes, by which the members bind themselves scot
to purchase certain articles of manofirAure, unless
they be of the production of the several parts of
Crummy in these statutes enumerated. Attiring
the articles we find cotton manufactures, woollen
goods, linen cloth, cutlery, and japanned articles,
&e. Associations of this nature have for some time
been fashionable on the continent of Europe, and in
every instance of their institution we doubt not that
they arose from the very best motives and pure
sentiment of patriotism ; but zeal too often outstrips
wisdom, and haves patriotism, like virtue, to be
'its own reward. The spirit of these assoeiutions is
munifestly directed against this country in particu-
lar, and it might thence he objecte I to us that
in our frequent animadversions spore them, we
lisve been more influenced by regard to the el-
feels they night produce upon the interests of
(:resit Britain, than a belief that they could not
ultimately contribute to serve the country of their
eseablishraeut. We here uniformly expressed our
opinion that they were injltious, as they regarded
the general benefit of the people, anal useless fur
the attainment of the object proposed by the
framers of them; and with respect to this latter
point, experience hes, we think, afforded shun&
ant proofs of the correctness of our impression..
We do not learn that British manufeetares cease to
find wady markets et the great continental fairs,
particularly those of Frankfort sod Leiric,
utither eats we discover that any manufactures
have bees. forted into being on the continent
by the 'itemise of these extraordinary means.
This should teach the aesociators the futility of

favourable sat to the theories of the incest enlighten-
ed economists, who uniformly discountenimee all
manufacturing establishments that require to be
supported by artificial aids.
We are sorry to find by the German Papers,
that not only has the Austrian Cabinet refused to
suffer the Duke de 0 A I.Lo to pass the Austrian fron-

The details of the proceedings of the Cortes, con-
twined in the Papers received on Thursday, record
en act of justice highly honourable to the Spanish
nation. In the sitting of the 12th instant was read
the Report of the Committee of Rewards on die
case of Panto Lora, commonly called " the lame
man of Malaga," who was condemned to death in
1914, acid had actually been imprisoned six years in a
dungeon at Cadiz, whence he was released by
RIEGO. One of the charges against him, for which
the punishment was inflicted, was his having assist-
ed to a serenade given to some Members of the
Cortes in 1814, seed which was supposed to have
been ',rejected by bin ; and another, the co.-
slant atiesidance he was in the habit of giving to die
debate• of the Cortes, at one Of which he was ac-

coved of creating a di3i us baiter. Eveu thew charges,
frivolous as they were. were denied by PABLO Lo-
PEZ ; and the officer attendant o► the gallery of
die Corte declared him to have had no share in
causing the riot alluded to. The accusation was
not attempted to be supported by evidence of any
kind. The Committee of Rewards, with the oh-

jeep not only of intleinoifying him for the injuries
he hail suffered, but c►' ieseuing the nation from the
reproach of having. inficted them, iecommended
that a grant should be made to LOPEZ from the
