PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL.—Ou Wednes-
day evening last a public meeting, most respectably at-
tended by about 300 persons, was held in the school-
room ofKingswood, near Wooton-under-Wge, for the
purpose
_of presenting to Mr. W. J. Hill, surgeon, of
Wotton-under-Edge, a very handsome silver salver, to-
gether with a purse of sovereigns, as a testimonial of
gratitude to him for his unwearied and successful
exertions during the recent prevalence of the cho-
lera, especially in his gratuitous prosessional at-
tendance on the poor. This testimonial origi-
nated in the grateful feelings of the work-
ing men, and was completed by their persevering exer
tions. Several of them spoke on the above occasion in
a manner which did equal honour to their heads and
hearts. The Rev. G. S. Weidemann, incumbent of the
parish, presided on the occasion. The salver cost 251.,
and bole the following it.scription :—"Presented to
Wilitam James Ilil, surgeon, by the inhabitants of
Kings% ocd, as a token of respect to him for h.s hence °-
lent, unremitting, and gratuitous exertions during the
prevalence of cholera. A.D. 1849."

ACCIDENT TO Slit JAMES DUNLOP.—ti singular
accident occurred at Chichester, on Tuesday, to Sir
James Dunlop, a young officer of the;Coldstreatu Guards,
stationed at the Larracks in that town. He was riding a
spirited horse, when the animal ran away, and came
down North-sueet towards the Cross, at a great pace;
keeping nearly straight en, he dashed up two steps into
the side entrat.ce of Mr. James Fares house, the door
of which viL:s open, as was also a middle door at the foot
of the staircase, leading to Sliss Amer's millinery rooms.
The horse fell in the passage, and was pretty firmly
wedged in, while the rider was thrown half-way up
stairs, much to the conststnaion of those busily ern-
ployed plying the needle. Neither Sir James nor his
horse kustaincd much injury.--Brighton Gazette.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR-
(I MS 'DA Y.)
The ancient ceremony of electing a Lord Mayor,
the first magistrate of the city of London, for the
ensuing year, tack place to-day in the Guildhall.
The cortege, consisting of the Lord Mayor's state.
carriage and the Sheriff's and Deputy Sheriff's
carriages, preceded by buglernen and the civic fOot-
men, left the Mansion House about a quarter to twelve,
and on arriving at Guildhall was met hy several of
the city officers in their state liveries. The Lord
Mayor, with his mace and swordbearer, dismounted
first and proceeded at once into the council chamber,
followed by the rest, and, after a brief meeting, re-
turned through the hall to the church Or
St. Lawrence, Jewry, in the immediate vicinity,
where
a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Cattley, the
Lord Mayor's Chaplain. The splendid liveries of the
Sheriffs were much admired, especially the livery of
Mr. Nichol, which was very gorgeous.
The proceedings did not attract eo large an ar'
semblage of people in the streets as might have been
expected, and the hall was rather thinly attended.
The platform was fitted up with much greater care
and taste than on other occasions; benches, covered
with scarlet cloth, and supplied with stuffed cushions,
had been put up, and the ground, in compliance with
an ancient custom, was strewed with mint, margerum,
and sotherin-wocd, which emitted a refreshing odour.
The Lord Mayor occupied a prominent position in the
centre. The procession made its appearance on the
platform shortly after one o'clock, and was received
with cheers. The Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman
Farncombe were particularly singled out for applause
by the Livery in the body of the hall.
After the usual intimation for all who were net
liverymen to quit the hall under a heavy penalty,
The RECORDER, addressing the livery,said they were
called upon to-day to exercise one of the highest
privileges they enjoyed, namely, the election of chief
magistrate of their ancient city.—(Hear, hear.) The
legal qualifications required of the candidates were
that they should be Aldermen of the City, and have
served the office of Sheriff. The course
which the constitution of the city of Lon-
don prescribed was this, that they should
nominate to the Court of Aldermen two
gentlemen fully qualified to hold the office, and that
Court should elect one of the two individualseso pre,
,ented to be chief officer of the ancient city of
London for the ensuing year. The ordinary course
on these occasions was to name the gentlemen wh°
were quelified by being Aldermen and having served the
office of Sheriff, but who had not served as Lord Mayor,
from whom the Livery had to select two, but it was
his duty to tell the Livery that it was entirely in
their breast to nominate such of the Court of Alder-
men as were qualified ffir the office, without regard
to the fact that they had already served the office of
Lord Mayor. The Livery had so often exercised
this privilege for the benefit of their
fellow-citizens that it did not become him to address
to them one word of advice, but rather to leave it for
them to chose, and name such individuals whom they
deemed most qualified to carry out the interests of tl.e
City, and render those privileges, which the citizens
now enjoyed, perpetual.— (Cheers.)
'1 he Lord Mayor having retired,
Mr. R. TAYLOR, before the election took place,.
wished to take exception to the doctrine laid down b
the Learned Recorder, that the constitution of the
City limited the right of the Livery to choose tao
individuals, from whom the Court of Aldermen were
to elect the Lord Mayor, thereby giving
them
the power to set aside the very man whom
the Livery might elect. The charter which was
granted to the City in the time of King John, con-
ferred upon the Livery the right of choosing whom_t
they pleased to be their Lord Mayor, and that right
was perfectly incompatible and inconsistent with the
doctrine of the Learned Recorder that the Livery
must elect two Aldermen, from whom the Court of
Aldermen are to elect one.
The COMMON SERGEANT then read over the following
names of gentlemen who were eligible for the office:—
Thomas Farncomb, Esq., Alderman and Tallow-
chandler; John Musgrove, Esq., Alderman and
Cloth-worker ; William Hunter, Esq., Alderman and
Upholder; Thomas Challis, Esq., Alderman and
Butcher; Thomas Sydney, Esq., Alderman and
Girdler ; Thomas Graham Moon, Esq., Alderman and
Stationer; David Salomons, Esq., Alderman and
Cooper; Thomas Quested Finnis, Esq., Alderman and.
Bowyer.
The names were then put to the vote, and the
Sheriff declared the show of hands to be in favour of
the two first.
The Aldermen then retired.
Mr. R. TAYLOR then proceeded to fulfil his pro-
mise. Whilst the Aldermen were electing one of the
two names it behoved them to employ themselves in
considering their rights. The rights which the citizen
enjoyed in respect of the choice of a Lord Mayor
were conferred upon them by King John. Their
charter, be held, gave the citizens the power of elect-
ing any one they chose out of their fellow-
citizr-r.s. But that power had been taken
away from them, and none save those
belonging to the aristocracy were now elected
to the civic office of Lord Mayor. Priest•
craft had been called in to aid the work, as
would be seen by an extract which he should read
from their annals. The Honourable Gentleman then
read the following extract, which caused, at some
of the points, some laughter. It was from the
8,11 of Henry IV., 1407, (Giber. i. fol. 54) :
" On Wednesday, Feast of St. Edward the Confessor,
John WOodcock, Mayor, considering that on that
day he and all the Aldermen, and very many of the
richer and more substantial commoners, ought to
assemble at the Guildhall, as the manner is, to choose a
new Mayor for the coming year, ordained that a mass
of the Holy Spirit should be celebrated with solemn
note in the chapel adjoining, to the effect that the
same commonalty might, by the grace of the Holy
Ghost, peacefully and benignly nominate to the said
Mayor and Aldermen two substantial and able per-
sons ; and that the same Mayor and Aldermen might,
favoured by the Saviour's clemency, choose one cut
of the two thus named to be Mayor of the said city;
which mass having been solemnly celebrated, the said
John Woodcock, Mayor, John Preston, Recorder,
Nicholas Watton and Geoffry Brook, Sheriffs, J.
Hader, W. Staundon, Richard Whyttyngton, 8:c ,
Aldermen, and many good commoners of the City,
then assisting, the same Mayor, Recorder, Sheriff's,
G
Aldermen, and commoners entered the Guildhall,
where the cause of the said meeting was fairly
shown and declared to the aforesaid commoners,
by command of the said Mayor and Aldermen,
how that the said commoners should nominate
to the aforesaid Mayor and Aldermen such able and
substantial persons who have before occupied the
office of Sheriff, so that the said commoners should
not care which of the said persons should be chosen
by the Mayor and Aldermen to be Mayor for the
coming year. Which being done, the aforesaid
Mayor, Recorder, Sheriffs, and Aldermen, went up
into the chamber of the court of the mayoralty within
the aforesaid Guildhall, there to wait for the nomination
of the said two persons; which commoners, peace•
fully and benignly, without any clamour or dissen-
tion, by John Weston, Common-Sergeant of the said
Richard ngt
upono n
this city, decently named and presented the aforesaid
mercer,
Maocer,andDr Drew Barentyn,Aldermen
goldsmithiehar A ;
in the same chamber y
, with closed doors, and by the
aid of the Holy Ghost, chose the aforesaid Richard
Whyttyngton to be Mayor for the year next
coming ; and the said Mayor and Aldermen
coming down from the aforesaid chamber into de •
ball notified unto the same commoners, by the Re-
corder, how, ' by divine inspiration,' the lot fell upon
the aforesaid Richard Whyttyngton. And further, the
aforesaid commoners unanimously besought the said
Mayor and Aldermen that they would ordain that in
every future year a mass of the Holy Spirit should
be celebrated in the chapel before the election of
Mayor foe the causes before-mentioned ; and upon
this the Mayor and Aldermen considering the sup-
plication of the said commoners to be fair, wise, and
agreeable to reason, very greatly to the glory and
praise of God and the honour of the said city, by the
assent and consent of the said commons ordained and
decreed that in every year in future a solemn mass,
sung in the presence of the Mayor and Aldermen
shall be celebrated by the ordinance of the Chamber•
lain by skilful singers in the chapel aforesaid."--
(The reading of this document caused much laughter.)
If the power possessed by the Court of Aldermen
was continued—if either rejecting or accepting those
elected by the Livery, as had been done in the case of
Mr. Harvey Christian Cornbe, who had been rejected
more than once though chosen by the Livery, the
citizens could not fail to suffer. Courts of Aldermen
were more liberal now, but the same thing might
occur again. He had thought it well to give the
Livery this information, and he trusted, now that the
rights possessed by the City were under discussion,
that the citizens would endeavour to regain the
privileges which had been wrested from them by the
Court of Alderman.
In a short time the Lord Mayor, Sheriff. Alder-
men,•
end officers returned into the hall,
Tie RECORDER then declared that the choice of the
Court of Aldermen had fallen upon Mr. Alderman
Farncombe, an announcement which was received
whit loud cheers.
Mr. Alderman FARNCOMBE, having been called upon
to accept the office, advanced to the front of the
platform, and was received with loud cheers. Fe
said— Gentlemen of the Livery, I have to thank ye u,
end that very sincerely, for the great honour 3ou
have conferred upon me by electing me to the office
of Lord Mayor; and be assured of this, that it will
be my most earnest endeavour so to conduct ;myself
as to do my duty faithfully and zealously, and I trust
to the satisfaction of the citizens of London.—
(Cheers.) I feel the great responsibility of the office
