CITY OF LONDON ELECTION,

Yesterday a Common Hall was held at the
Guildhall, London, for the' purpose of returning
four Members to serve in the ensuing Parliament,
when the Sheriffs declared the Eledion to have fal.:
len on Mr. Alderman COMBE, Mr. Alderman
PitCa, Mr. Alderman CUATIS, and Sir J. W.
ANDERSON, Bart. and Alderman.
me. Alderman Cuturts came forward and said, he
had a third time to thank the Livery of London for
eleEting him to represent them in. Parliament.---
When he addressed them at the conclusion of the
last Parliament, he' fully explained to them what his
political opinions and principles were, and it was
extremely gratifying to him to ;find the same sen.
timents were entertained by them ; that such were
the opinions of the.Eledors, had been proved_ by
the very Cordial support he had received upon
the present occasion. He loved the :Peopl; he
loved their Liberties, and venerated the Consti-
tution ; but he felt it his duty to declare, .that
though he would at all times preserve their inde-
pendence, he should also maintain his own.; he ne-
ver would set up his own opinion against that of
the whole Nation ; hut he would gn into the House
of Commons unshackled, where :they might be as-
sured he.should use every possible exertion to pre-
serve their Rights and support the Constitution.-
Mr. CU RTIS'S speech, notwithstanding the opposi-
tion made to every other attempt of his to speak dur-
ing the Eledion, was• on this day received with
marks of strong approbation.
Sir 3'. W. ANDERSON next returned his thanks to
the Livery. The choice they had made 9f him,
conveyed to his mind the strongest proof that his
political condud was sandioned by their approba-
tion, and he askired them, that he ,should most
steadily observe the same line of conduit in future,
and manifest the same teal for their interests, and
those of the Country at large. •
Mr. Alderman CoistnE felt it altogether unne-
cessary to say any thing of his political' principles.
The manner in which his Eletion for the 4rst City
in- the world had been concluded and concluded,
was a sufficient testimony-that he •had given gene-
ral satisfadion to his Constituents:

Mr. Alderman PRICE, in concise terms, express-
ed his gratitude for the very distingui,hed honour
they had conferred on him, by placing him second
on the poll. He wanted words, he said, to express
stifficiently what he felt. He should ever attend to
their instruaions, armed with which, they would
ever find him a zealous supporter of their rights,
and of the true interests of his Country. •
Mr. KEMBLE proposed a Vote of Thanks to the
Sheriffs for their attention, &c. during the Elec-
tion, which was unanimously carried, and ordered
to be printed.
The Meeting was then adjourned.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BERWICK, JULY 12.

q You will doubtless be surprized at hearing no
accounts of our Eleelioi-1, especially as we know
the 'Writ was sent from London the ist inst. with'
all expedition, but as it has not yet been delivered
to the Mayor and 'Bailiffs, we know nothing when
the Eledion will take place.—The Town is full of
Freemen from London and other distant parts, who
are very anxious to return home to their wives and
families, and express, great dissa,tiladiou
,at the
Writ being so unwarrantably detained."

The Election for the County of Cambridge ended
on Tuesday. At the close of the r 011 the nu►nbers
were,

thus conferred upon him, and the heart-felt delight
which he experienced on finding that the sense _of
the County, which had alwars been Sc) decidedly in
favour of his Grandfather, Lord.GRANBY, and hie
Uncle, Lord RgBERT MANNERS, was no less at this
time in favour of himself. No words ca express the
triumphant-joy and exultation with which this addres9
of their favourite candidate was received by the surer
rounding multitude; Th.tae w Members were then
chaired. The populace insisted ,upon taking off
the horse.s from the carriage of the Dutchess of.
RUTLAND, in which also was the Dutchess Dowager
of RUTLAND ; and their Graces, drawn by those
who were thus eager to testify their joy, fol-
lowed the Chairs, which were preceded by severar
hundreds of Gentlemen on horseback, a Band of
Music beingstationed immediately before the chair
of Lord CHARLES stationed*
The Procession

large field near Emanuel College) through Bridge-

Of all the contested gleelions, not one was so
sharp while it lasted as that of Leicester ; and
yet, to the credit -of all parties it closed not
only without animosity, hut with perfea goo 4
Will on all sides.—Mr. McCArlrity finding, at
the 'close of 'the- fourth day's Poll, 'erorp the cir-
cumstance of his late arrival, notwithctandiug the)
popular enthusiasm in his favour, that he was not
likely to have a anal majority, communicated his
determination to avoid harassing the old Membersß
and in a judicious, manly speech, vindicated the mo-
tives of his opposition; and his whole condut, witb
such force and feeling, as to draw forth, in the most
marked manner; the thanks of 'Mr. BAarktoroNe
the approbation of the Court, and the repeated
plaudits of the People. We sincerely wish that a 0
the remaining contests may, terminate in a manner
equally amicable.

Many very extraordinary contests have appeared
during the present General Elediont but that for
the County of Durham is-certainly the most singular.
—Mr. BuR Dor; some time ago publicly declared
his intention of retiring from Parliament ;it the
General Elettion : several of the principal towns irs
the County have since applied to him to offer him-
self as a Candidate again for the County, which he
still declines to do : the Freeholders however are
canvassing with great adivity to elect him ; such a
proof of the attachment of Constituent:, to a Represen.
tative has seldom occurred in the History of this
Country, Sir GEo.S4v LLE and Sir JOHN BARNARD
were fent to Parliament by the County of York and
the City of London in much the same way. This proof
of sincere attachment to their Representatives is a
more honourable record, than if they had crated their
Statues in gold. It is a' genuine mcrk both of the in-
dependence of the Eledors, and of the sterling worth
of the elected.

A Letter from Coventry, received yesterday,
says, " The Eleftion at this place, it is supposed,
will very shortly be decided—the zeal with which
the cause of Messrs. JEFFE RI'S and BARLOW is taken
up, exceeds any thing ever known in Coventry,
and has, perhaps, scarcely been equalled any where-
Out-voters are flocking in from all parts ; more than
an hundred have walked from London—the car-
riages of individuals are sent out in all diredions to
bring' them in, and they are most hospitably receiv-
ed into the houses of the principal people of Cover).-
try.—An immense number have this instant arrive('
in coaches and six, and post chaises, attended`by a
vast concourse of people on horseback and on foot.''

ensuing Parliament for the following places, are
