A common hall of the livery of London was held this
morning, in Guildhall, for the purpose of electing an
alderman to serve as Lord Mayor in the ensuing year.
Previous to the holding of the hall, the Corporation at-
tended Divine service in St. Lowrance Jury Church, and
at the close of the service a sermon was preached by the
Rev. James Edwards. rector of Barningham, Suffolk,
and chaplain to the Lord Mayor, taking his text from ht
Kings, chap. 43, "And Solomon slept with his fathers,
and Rehoboam reigned in his stead." On the return
of the Corporation from church, tho Lord Mayor took
the chair, and the business of the day was immediately
proceeded with. _ . _

The RECORDER explained the object of the meeting,
and called upon the Liverymen immediately to proceed
to the nomination of two citizens, from whom the Court
of Aldermen could elect the chief magistrate of the
City for the year ensuing.
The names of the aldermen who have not passed the
chair were then rend over by the Town Clerk, Sergeant
Mereweatber, as follows :—Alderman Challis, Alderman
Sidney, Alderman Moon, Alderman Salmons, Alderman
Finnis, Alderman Lawrence, Alderman Carden, and
Alderman Cubitt.

Each name was afterwards put to the vote, and at
the close of that formalit•,r the Sheriffs, Messrs. Carter
and Croll, declared the show of hands to be in favour of
Thomas Challis, Esq., Alderman and Butcher, and
Thcmas Sidney, Esq., Alderman and Grocer. Alder-
man Wire's name was not put in nomination, as that
gentleman had not filled the off ca of sheriff.
The LORD MAYOR them retired, and after a brief
absence ho returned with the intelligence that the elec-
tion of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on Alderman
Challis, an announcement that was received with loud
cheers.

ment which had been paid to him, and promised to sus-
tain the dignity, and faithfully and impartially to per-
form the duties of the high and important office which
he had been called upon to fill.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the late Sheriffs,
who also returned thanks, and the proceedings of the
hall terminated.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The show of Enlish Wheat here to-day, coastwise,
and by land-carriage, was very small. For most kinds
we had a steady, though by no means active, inquiry,
and late rates were well supported. For forward de-
livery scarcely any transactions took place. Rather
over 7,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have arrived since
Saturday. Really fine samples sold to a fair extent at
full quotations; but other kinds met a dull inquiry. The
arrivals of floating cargoes have increased. Most kinds
of Barley were in very moderate supply and fair inquiry,
at late rates. No change in Malt. We had an improved
sale for both English and Foreign Oats. Fine heavy
parcels were the turn higher. Beans, Peas, and Flour
wero quite as dear as on Monday.
