Election of Lord Mayor—This Day.

The annual assembling of tke livery, for the pur-
pose of electing a citizen to fill the office of Lord
Mayor for the ensuing year, took place to-day in
the Guildhall.

The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs having
attended Divine Service, at St. Michael's, Bassisbaw,
proceeded in procession to the Guildhall. After the
usual proclamation had been made,
The. Common Sergeant, in the absence of the
Recorder, come forward and told the liverymen they
were assembled that day, according to ancient usage,
to elect a fit and proper person to fill the office of
Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and, iu order that
the choice of the livery might be made impartial;
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen would retire while
the election took place. -
A LIVERYMAN said, before th 6 aldermen retired,
he should like to ask Alderman Gabriel, in the event
of his being elected, whether he would support the
charter and uphold all the rights and privileges of
the livery ? lie thought that was a question that
ought to be answered by every alderman before
they were elected to fill the important office of Lord
Mayor for the City of London.

Mr. Alderman GABRIEL said he had no hesitation
in answering the question. No person venerated
more highly than he .did, or could do more than he
would to uphold all those charters which conferred
liberty and privileges on the livery of London.
(Cheers.)

Mr. Sheriff WATERLow called upon the Common
Crier to read the rest of the names of those alder-
men who had not yet passed the chair, and a show
of hands was taken as each name was announced. For
Alderman Gabriel nearly every person present held
up his hand, and for the others but one or two hands
were displayed. The Sheriff then announced that
the election had fallen upon Alderman Gabriel and
Alderman'Allen, and the names of these two gentle-
men were then forwarded to the Court of Aldermen.

After an absence of about a quarter of an hour,
the Lord, Mayor and: alderrnen returned to the
Guildhall, and announced that- the election "had
fallen on Alderman Gabriel.

The Lord Mayor elect then returned, thanks, and
said he should do all in his power to uphold the dig-
nity and hospitality of the office.

Mr. C. REED moved a vote of thanks to the Lord
Mayor, after which the proceedings terminated.
