ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN.

Yesterday, during the whole day, the Guildhall dis-
olayed such a scene as has seldom been witnessed. The
Shaw party were hooted as they advanced to the poll, and
here was not a voter for Waithman, particularly if he
aappened to belong to a fire-office, or to any other esta-
blishment, who did not receive the most.tremendous ap-
plause as he quitted the poll-clerks. At three o'clock,
vhen the books were closed for the day, there must have
oeen upwards of 1,000 persons in the hall. Soon after
that time the following numbers were exhibited :
Shaw
Waithman 1,292
The Sheriff immediately advanced to the front of the
hustings, and requested that the multitude would show
fair play upo❑ this occasion, and allow all persons who
should present themselves to be heard.
Sir JAMES Straw made his appearance amidst yells, and
groans, and hisses, intermixed with applause, and cries
of " Bravo." He addressed the meeting, but was heard
hut by two or three persons. It was, he said, with the
greatest pride that be looked to the state of the poll. It
proved, that notwithstanding all that had been said to pre-
judice his cause, the public were not to be persuaded that
he was a❑ unfit candidate for the honourable situation
to which he aspired. His majority on the day's poll was
nearly as great as that which he exhibited on Satui day ;
and it was to be recollected that Monday was the day, of all
others, on which his Hon. Opponent calculated. Me most
sincerely thanked the public for having made such stre-
nuous exertions in his favour, and he thanked them for the
exertions which they intended to continue, if indeed his
worthy opponent should persist in the ineffectual struggle.
He considered it to be his incumbent duty to recommend
that the contest should cease upon the part of his worthy
friend. He should be far from suggesting such a course
if it did not appear to him that the cause was already com-
pletely decided. Besides, the city of London was engaged
at this moment in important public works, which were at
a complete stand, in consequence of the non-appointment
of the Chamberlain.

Alderman WAITH3IAN then stood forward amidst shouts
of applause. If, he said, Sir James Shaw had not had
fair play, it was not his (Waithman's) fault.—(Laughter.)
The meeting might rest assured that he regretted •nothing
so deeply as the practice of not hearing what his Opponent
had to say. The practice was unjust to both sides ; and he
trusted the public feeling would be so far checked in its ex-
pression for the future that every syllable would be attended
to. Indeed, the refusal of the livery to hear his antagonist
and the worthy Baronet's myrmidons, effectually prevented
him from entering into details and descriptions which were
calculated to show the nature of the combination against
him. If, therefore, he refrained from reflecting on individuals,
it was not because he had not matter enough for weighty ac-
cusation, but because a sense of public justice influenced
him to pass them by, in the belief that no ear would be
lent to their defence.—(Loud cheers.)—" Open the se-
crets of the prison-house," however, he certainly should,
upon a fitting occasion, and he should not spare those
who had signalized themselves by a desertion of their
pledges and their principle.. He felt anxious to remove
any impression which any observation of his might have
made, from a mistake on the part of those who heard
him. He alluded to a report that had gone abroad that
Alderman Wood's Deputy had been canvassed against him.
Ile begged to be understood as not having alluded to Mr.
Deputy Pullen, a worthy, and most respectable and con-
sistent man. But Alderman Wood and two Deputies,
one of whom was Mr. Lambert Jones, a gentleman who
had acted a leading part upon Alderman Wood's commit-
tee, at the last contested election for the city of London,
and who well knew that when that worthy Alderman was
pressed by Alderman "enables, Waielitrian's committee
poured in a flood of voters and overpowered all the
struggles of opposition.—(Cheere.)—That worthy De-
puty was the man who appeared in the ranks of the
enemy.—(Cries of " Oh fie, Jones !" " Oh, woods and
forests, Jones !")—Never was there any thing like this
election. Never was there so gross an exhibition of in-
gratitude. Ile cast no imputation upon those who had
differed from him in opinion on political matters. They
had done as it might be expected they would do.—(l.oud
cheers.)—Although the spirit of party had subsided, it
was still to be regretted that the advocates of the
Pitt system would stand by one of its undeviating
supporters; but what could be said of those who uci-
formly spurned and abhorred that system, and who, not
having the spirit to act with vigour, lugged him into the
conflict, at the same time that they started back appalled
at the very shadow of opposition ?—(Loud cheers, and
cries of " Scandalous, shame, shame.")—What could be
said of these men, for whom he had devoted days and
nights, in getting up petitions, and remonasrances, and
appeals, and who were frightened out ~;.c their wits at the
very name of opposition? He begged the meeting to look
at Bishopsgate Ward -- that pure ward—many of the re-
presentatives of which had led up troops against him,
without being able, by their own confession, to state one
reason against him, either of a private or a public nature.
—(" Shame, shame.")—Mr. Peacock was one of the
members of that ward. Although Peacock was a fano bird,
he had disfigured it already, and he would penhalily pluck
a few feathers more out of its tail,—(Laughter and
cheers.)—Where was the great Mr. Stephens, who (tut-
stripped all in public virtue Why, a meeting had been
held in Bishopsgate for Reform on the day before the pre-
sent election—it had been held for Mr. Stephens's darling
measure of Reform, and up walked that worthy and pa-
triotic individual next day to join in the attempt to put
Waithman down.—(Loud groans and cheers,)—Now, as
to whether the question was or was 7,1,,t a political one,
he should say a few words. t was evident that Sir
James Shaw's political
p,a;'sy considered it a political
question, for they adhned to him en the occaedon to a man,
and they manifested a consistent and irreproachable tena-
city of purpose. He gave them credit for their zeal and •
laborious efforts. (Loud cries, in which many of Sir
James's friends en the hustings joined.) But in propor-
tion as they were to be applauded, the base deserters from
the opposite standard were to be hated and despised ; for
of all the vices by which he,rnan nature was degraded,
the worst was ingratito4,—

. . „
" That ma;bs,e-taearted fiend,
" Atm, hAous than the sea monster." (Cheers.)
But the ingratitude of his political friends—(Laughter)—in-
solved ingratitude to the Livery of London as well as to
him. It was a refinement which public bodies were not
in the habit of witnessing, bet which be trusted the
Livery would never again give the opportunity of exercis-
ing. It had beer, said, over and over again, that the
question vas not a political one. WA let the Livery
cQnaider it in any other light, Let them not look to
his political conduct., Let them merely look to his conduct
as a Magistrate, lo the performance of all his other duties
to his f:llow.citizens. The worthy Alderman then parti-
cularized his exertions with respect to the Orphans' Fund,
the question relating to the coals, ?aid the numerous ques-
tions of great public importance, of which he had been thy
mover, and which had brought to a successful issue by his
unwearied, aid, dt first, almost unassisted exertions. From
those a;ibjects he passed on to an animatui description of a
. junta in the Common Council, exercising controul over the
Corporation. He hoped that such a junta would be broken
up by the Artu resistance of the Livery, for the mem-
bers of the obnoxious body assumed to themselves, a
dictatorial power and they had given anothez Ample of
those principles by confederating agaie,;-.i him.—(Cheers.)
As to the " Reformers" who were caw arrayed against him,
their mouths were Onset' iar ever—if they should heese-
after appear where he did to support the cause of
Refor.ra, ins only reply or notice should he " turn them
out."—(Cheers am! laughter.) C,ne gentleman had said
to him, " I never voted faz you, and L am not going to
vote fur you now ; but I must say, never was mac. co mis-
used as you have been by your friends."-,-(Loud cries of
hear.) But prydep had long no described the renegade
character :
" The renciaauev ne'er turn such by halves,
Til;')"'Xi: bound by conscience to be double knaves."
• (Loud cheering and laughter.) lie had exposed the
renegadoes a little—but he would expose them a good
deal more. Nor were these discusei.a.ii useless. They
tended to keep alive the spirit cf liberty, and to show the
necessity of exertion s!.nd watchfulness. He repeated, Llw
cause was in their hands. If defeated, there were those
who woutd be: delighted ; but he would, coffer much less
than' they 'imagined, when he recollected by what means
defeat would be aelievzd...-however, all such persons, be
would

" Leave to Heave:.
And to those thorns that in their ,i,q;°;4s
To goad and sting tht,ni."
—(lmt enst! cheering, am:Ass-which Mr. Alderman Waith-
map ret,i7ed,',--Tho ROI then adjourned till this morning.
