THE GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES, 1847.
This interesting stake, which made such a brilliant first
appearance this 3-ear, and to which 300/. was so li-
berally added by the inhabitants of this metropolis, has
undergone some alterations and improvements at the
bands of the authorities. The Stake is for the future to be 24,
15 forfeit, and fire if declared, and 100 for the second horse,
and 50 for the third; the course to be lengthened to nearly
two miles and a quarter :—To start at the winning chair,
turning out at Tattenham Corner, and back, similar to the
Goodwood Cup Course, and in sight the whole way. We
bear the necessary alterations to the course are nearly corn- I
plete. The amount of the bonus for 1847 is not yet ascer-
tained, but we understand that there is already a consider-
able sum promised, or collected ; and, from the activity and
energy of the parties who have the matter in hand, we fancy
the bonus for 1847 must be very great.

ELECTION OF LORD MAY 019.

CONCLUSION OF THE THIRD DAY'S POLL.
The Livery of London are acting manfully, and ap-
pear determined to keep up their character as the sup-
porters of the oppressed and ill-used. At three o'clock
the polling of the third day clo,al, and the announca-
un,nt of the poll placed Alderman Wood in a much
better position than that which he occupied yesterday.
Little or no doubt seems now to be entertained of his
ultimate success.
At half-past three o'clock the following was an-
nounced by the Secondary to be the state of the poll :
For Mr. Alderman Wood
Sir G. Carroll 6BO
Mr. Alderman Hooper
Mr. Alderman Farncomb
Mr. Alderman Moon 1
The announcements of the last two names caused great
laughter. The call for Mr. Alderman Wood resounded
from all parts of the hall, but the worthy Alderman gave
way for
Mr. ANDERTON, who stated that he was the individual
who had called for a poll on behalf of Alderman Hooper ;
and in consequence of a report which he had seen in the
Times newspaper of that day of the speech of Alderman
Wood of the previous day, he wished to explain to the
Livery the grounds on which he had called for that poll.
In the report Mr. Alderman Wood was represented to have
stated that he knew nothing of a poll being demanded
until after that demand had been made. That
statement was perfectly true, because he did
not think it to be at all necessary or called for on his part
to inform Mr. Alderman Wood that such was his inten-
tion. Mr. Alderman Wood had stated that he had no
doubt there were good reasons for the course that had
been adopted, and what those reasons were it was the
duty of the party who had called for the poll to explain.
—(Cheers.) Now he stood there to give that explana-
tion. In adopting the coarse he had pursued he was
animated by no prejudicial feelings towards Mr. Alder-
man Wood, but, looking upon it to be the right of the
Livery of London to test the fitness or unfitness of
any person who offered himself to fill the office of their
Chief Magistrate by their votes, he had adopted the
present course to enable them to do so. Alderman
Wood had been twice rejected by the Court of Alder-
men ; and, on one occasion, when the votes of the
Livery were taken, he was the lowest on the poll. He
believed that the Court of Aldermen^were ready, at the
commencement of the present contest, to reject again the
claims of Mr. Alderman Wood.—(Cries of "No, no,"
"Shame, shame," and " There wants reformation in the
Corporation of London.") Now, thinking that if Alder-
man Wood was returned to the Court of Aldermen by
the vote of the Livery, that they would not reject him,
he had demanded a poll in order to test the
opinion of the Livery.—(Cries of " You did it for
the purpose of putting him to expense.") He denied that
he had any such intentions, and as a proof of his sincerity,
he would state that he should be willing to subscribe
towards defraying those expenses, or even paying the
whole.—(Cheers.) What, he would ask, ought to be the
character of the man who aspired to fill the office of the
chief magistrate of the city of London ? Why, he ought
to be as independent in his pocket as in his principles.—
(Cheers, and cries of "So is Wood.") He quarrelled
with no man for being poor.—(Cries of " You would
like to be Lord Mayor, if you had only money enough.")
He quarrelled with no man for being limited in his
means, but he did find fault with a man aspiring to the
office of Lord Mayor who had demands made upon him
from day to day 2 which he did not meet.—(Great uproar,
and cries of " Shame, shame," and "Prove what you
have stated.") He believed that Alderman Wood was
doing himself injustice in forcing himself upon the
Livery in the way he had done.—(Cries of " No, no.")
He (Mr. Anderton) held the honourable and responsible
office of Deputy-Governor of the Irish Society, and he
could state to the Livery, from the knowledge he
derived from that situation, that claims had been
made by that society on Alderman Wood for
the payment of certain fees, which he had never paid ;
thereby reflecting discredit on himself, and those who
had employed him.—(Great confusion, and cries of
"Shame, shame.")
Mr. ALDERMAN WOOD then came forward, and was
received with the most deafening cheers, which lasted for
some minutes. When order was in some measure re-
stored, he stated that he was not sorry that he had
given precedence to Mr. Anderton, the gentleman who
had last addressed the Livery, because he felt convinced
that all that had been said by that gentleman would
prove to the Livery how he had been treated, not only
by him but by others.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.")
Everything that malice could invent, every transaction
in private life, had been raked up against him.—(Cries
of " Shame.") He envied not the feelings of those who
had adopted such a course.—(Cheers.) He envied not
the feelings of the man who occupied his time in such
proceedings, but he thought he must envy him the feel-
ings he entertained when he stated that he looked upon
such proceedings with the contempt they deserved—
(Great cheering)—and he thought the answer had been
given to them by the mass of the Livery which he ad-
dressed.—(Cheers.) Some allusion had been made by
Mr. Anderton to the Irish Society, with whom he (Mr.
Alderman Wood) had an account, which he delivered in
January last, and, not withstanding all the integrity, zeal,
and punctuality of Mr. Anderton, that account re-
mained unsettled until Saturday last —(Great laughter)—
and because he (Mr. Alderman Wood) had not gone on
and done what Mr. Anderton thought he ought to have
done, he came there and complained.—(Cheers.) Charges
innumerable had been raked up against him, because
he had been connected with a club, in which he had
done all in his power to bring everything to a proper
settlement. He thought the course that had been pur-
sued towards him was uncalled for, harsh, and unjust.
—(Loud cheers.) If they were to arraign the
conduct of men who had been engaged in ephemeral
schemes in the same manner that thy had done him,
he thought very few in that great City would come out
of the ordeal blameless.—(Great cheering.) Mr. An-
derton had stated that he (Mr. Alderman Wood) had
challenged the promoters of the present contest to come
forward and explain the cause of their doing so ; the
Livery had heaid the explanation that had been made.
—(Cheers.) Mr. Anderton had stated that he was not
desiring to put him (Mr. Alderman Wood) to expense, and that he would sooner pay it himself. He
was sure
that, after Mr. Anderton s explanation of the causes
that induced him to demand a poll, the Livery would
call upon him to redeem his pledge and pay those ex-
penses.—(Laughter.) Whatever might be the motives
of the parties demanding the poll, the result would be
to entail great expense, and that expense, according to
his own showing, Mr. Anderton was bound to bear—
(Cheers)—and no doubt would give a cheque on his
banker for the amount.—(Cries of " The cheque will
be on the bank of elegance.") But enough of this—it was
said that a man must be not only opulent but independent,
before he could fill high offices.—(Cheers.) He thought
if a man's finances were to be the measure of his fitness
for holding office, the Livery might as well at once give
up their rights.—(Great cheering.) If they were to
look at a man's purse, and not his principles, the rights
of the Livery were worth nothing.—(Cheers.) It had
been said that he- had improperly kept up these contests ;
he denied it; he had no alternative but to do to. As the
servant of the ward he represented, he had fearlessly dis-
charged his public duties, and why, he would ask, were
private transactions to be raked up against him, as a
ground for his unfitness to discharge a public duty ?
(Cheers.) He had risen from among the Livery ; he
had come, like others, from a humble origin—(Cheers)—
but it was the glory of this free country_ that such was
the nature of its institutions, that they encouraged in-
dustry, looked to rising worth, rewarded it, and held out
the prospect, even to the most humble, of filling places
of the highest honour and the greatest trust.--
(Cheers.) God forbid, he would say, that it
should be otherwise.—(Cheers.) He did not pre.
sent himself to the Livery as a private character ; he
presented himself to them as he had been for years—
be presented himself to them as an Alderman in rota-
tion for office, and he asked the Livery fearlessly to
point out one single blot on,his public conduct.— (Cheers.)
It was painful and unpleasant to speak of self, but he
had been compelled to do so.—(Hear, hear.) Ho had
met the test that had been imposed upon him fairly, and
the conclusion of the third day's poll showed the con-
fidence the Livery had reposed in him —(Cheers.) In
the whole contest no unkind words had been used,
except those that had been uttered that day.—(Cheers.)
He had received the greatest kindness at the hands of
his two colleagues—(Cheers)—and he thought that
what had taken place that day ought never to have
occurred.—(Cheers.) It reflected no honour on those
who had brought it forward, and he was sure that it
would not damage his cause with the Livery.—(Cheers.)
It now only remained for him to thank them for the
noble manner in which they had supported his cause—a
cause that was their own. He trust( "d that the Livery
would go on in their good work, and success was certain.
—(Cheers, and cries of "We will.") He felt no doubt
that at the conclusion of the poll on the following day
he would he in a better position than lie was that day.
Mr. R. TAYLOR then came forward to address the
Livery. He was the decided enemy of the pretended
veto of the Court of Aldermen • he thought nothing
could justify it ; but he thought that all those who
looked up to high civic dignities should claim them with
clean hands. He was connected with a great public
trust belonging to the city of London. That institution
had been engaged in a long and difficult law suit ; the
—r
solicitor employed had had the money to do so, but had
never paid the fees of counsel. Who was that solicitor?

Mr. Alderman WOOD again came forward. He could
assure the Livery that he was not afraid of meeting the
