THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
(This Day.)

The election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing official
year took place this morning at Guildhall. There was
a Large attendance of the Livery and the public ; and
in consequence of the notoriety gained by Sir R. W.
Carden (the senior alderman next the chair, and next in
rotation for the Mayor; lty), in the evidence given by
him before a committee of the House of Commons, rela-
te the opening of public-houses on Seindays, greater in-
terest was manifested in the proceedings than usual.
At 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the
Sher:ffi (Mr. Ald. Laurence and Mr. Allen), the Com-
mon Sergeants, Alderman Sir P. W. Carden, Alderman
Kennedy, Alderman Wire, the City Rernem-
brancer and the other officials, in their robes of
office, proceeded to St. Lawrence Church, Old Jewry,
where the prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Calvert.
The set mon was preached by the Rev. Albert Alston,
M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge, chaplain to the
Lord Mayor, from let Cor., ctap. iV.; 2d verse—"lt is
required in stewards that a man may be found faithful."
It is a singular circumstance that the procession to the
church was beaded by Mr. Thomas Rose, in his robes of
office as deputy bridgemaster, the gentleman against
whom Sir R. W. Carden obtained a summons on Satur-
day at the Mansion-house for publishing libellous
matter against him.
On the return of the procession to the Guildhall,
shortly after one o'clock the Lord Mayor took the chair.
There were present besides the aldermen at church
Alderman Cubitt, Alderman Rose, Alderman Carter,
Alderman Sir J. Musgrove, Alderman Humphrey,
Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P., Alderman Sir G. Carrell,
Alderman Copeland, Alderman Sir G. F. Moon, Alder-
man E. H. Muggeridge, Alderman Salomons, the
Recorder, Mr. J. J. Mechi, Mr. Keates, the late sheriff,
Mr. Crossley, the late senior under-sheriff, Mr. Potter,
Secondary, Mr. Nullard and Mr. Parker, the two new
under-sheriffs, Sec._Sec.

The Crier having made the usual proclamation—

The RECORDER came forward and addressed the meet-
ing. He said they had now to exercise the important
privilege of electing a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing.
The livery would be left in the possession of the Hall
for that purpose, and he was sure they would well know
bow to discharge the duties that would devolve upon
them. (Cheers.)
The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then returned. Three
cheers were given for the Lord Mayor (Alderman Finnis),
and a groan for Alderman Carden.
The Common Sergeant next came forward and read
the nomination of the aldermen below the chair who bad
filled the office of Sheriff and were eligible for Lord
Mayor, viz.:—Alderman Sir R. W. Carden—(cheers
and hisses)—Alderman Wire— (loud cheers)—Alderman
Carter—(" Another time")—Alderman Cubitt— (cheers)
—Alderman Muggeridge—(cheers)—and Alderman
Kennedy, whose name was received with hisses, cries of
"Oh, eh," and "How about the British Bank ?"
Mr. Anderton stood forward, and said that be ap-
peared before the Livery for the pus pose of opposing the
election of Sir R. W. Carden. (Loud cheers, hisses,
and great confusion.)
Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE appealed to the livery to give
Mr. Anderton a fair and impartial hearing, if it was his
intention to propose a candidate in opposition to Sir
W. Carden,; otherwise he would be out of order. (Hear
and cheers.)

Mr. ANDEBTON again attempted to address the livery,
bet was met with hisses and cries of "Down," inter-
mingled with some cheering. He then said that without
consulting Mr. Alderman Finnis he should propose him
for reelection, and in the event of his declining to
accept it, they should elect Alderman Wire. He had
no obj:•otion to Alderman Sir U. W. Carden personally,
but he had a great objection to. Lim as a public man.
He disapproved of his politics and conduct as a magis-
trate, especially his arbitrary conduct towards the
publicans. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of his address
he exhibited a placard " Vote for Lord Mayor and
Alderman Wire."

The CITY CRIER then called over the names for the
selection of the livery, which from a rough guess of
those in front of the reporters, appeared to be as fol-

lows

Alderman Carden, 100 ; Alderman Wire, between
200 and 300 ; Mr. Alderman Carter, none—(Cries
" Wait his time")—Alderman Cubitt, between 80 and
90 ; Alderman Sir 11. Muggeridge, 2 or 3 ; Alderman
Kennedy, uone— (Hisses and cries of " How about the
British Bank")—A lderman lose, none—(Yes, in his
13 I turn.)

For the Lord Mayor nearly evtry band was held up in

his favour.

Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE after consulting with Mr.
Sheriff Dillon, and the officials, declared the selection to
131070 fallen on Alderman Sir R. W. Carden and Mr. Al-
derman Wire.

The announcement was received with great disappro-
bation, from its being considered that the great majority
of hands held up were in favour of the Lori Mayor
(Fionis), and Mr. Alderman Wire.
The Sheriffs then retired to the Court of Aldermen
and informed them that the Livery hal decided in favour
of Alderman Sir It. W. Carden and Alderman Wire.
On the retr.rn of the Court to the Common Hall,
The RECORDER announced that the Court of Aldermen
had ticcted Sir R. W. Csrien Lord Mayor for the year
ensuing. (Cheers and hisses.)
Sir It. W. CARDEN then returned thanks, and after a
vote of thanks to the retiring Lord Mayor and Sheriffs,
the proceedings teruonated.

THE LATE Aintuur, BOXER.—The gallant admiral
boat, holdiug his Lain awl bilking to every one he met.
was about 65 years of age. In a second be was in his
his boat was seen in every' part of the harbour, and
often in the bay, even in rough weather. From day-
break till sunset he might be seen rowing about like a
hunted pirate, rather short in statue, very active, quick,
an,l expeditious. Sailor-like, blunt, straightforward, and
by report generally liked. Such I found Admiral Boxer.

Several recruiting parties belonging to her Majesty's
t.rtes have been sejaurning in the neighbourhood of
Taunton for corns weeks past. Surely there ought to be
no lack of enlistment where fl.rning placards, in all the
colours of the rainbow, meet the gaze of "smart young
men," in such language as the following:—"Englishmen!
You who have strong arms and stunt hearts, have you
not heard the dying wail of your outraged and murdered
countrymen, calling up >n you to be up and avenge them?
You that have sisters and sweethearts that you love, can
you hear that hundreds upon hundreds as fair as they
have been given up to treatment worse than death, and
then to death, with all the ingenuities of torture that
hell can devise, and then hesitate ? Can you unmoved
list. n to their agonising ehtieks, and hear the cry of their
poor slaughtered babes ? Arise, Englishmen, arise !
Lay down your sickles, for your work is done, and cold
winter conies upon you. Take up the bayonet of good
British steel, and go forth to reap a harvest of vengeance
upon the cowardly miscreants who roam over the fair
land of India, laden with the spoil, and red with the
blood of England's outraged daughters ! "
The Madrid journals of the 24:h have arrived. The
Espana, though a semi-official journal, had been seized.
Among the reforms projected by the Minister of Finance
is one, it is said, for increasing the stamp duty, and ren-
dering stamp receipts obligatory in the payment of rent.
The Ambassador of France bad given a grand banquet
to Mane. Ristori, the eminent tragedian.
The Weser Gazette of Bremen says :—" It bas
recee:tly been reported that it was intended to fortify
Berlin, but the statement is unfounded. It it is true,
generally admitted that the fortification of the capital is
desirable, but the expense would he too great. It has
accordingly been decided that the fortifications at
Spandau, which 1r ,test the capital, shall be considerably
augmented, and works for that purpose are being carried
on with activity."

THE LATE fiENRY ROGERS.—A letter has been sent
to Mrs. Rogers, wife of Captain Rogers, who was exe-
cuted at Liverpool for murder on the high seas, and for
whose family a subscription is now being raised, by Mr.
S. B. Pike, of 8, John-street, Minories, inclosing 401.
from the American shipmasters and their friends now in
the port of London. The writer says :—" We are a few
of the many who believe that Captain Rogers was no
murderer, and that such a foul stain can never attach to
any of his family."
VERY LIKE A WHALE !—The Perthshire Advertiser
states tbat one day last 'week an old man, of the name
of Bell, who acted as gate-keeper at a crossing on the
Dundee and Perth line, perceived a hare on the line, gave
chase to it, and was so absortel in the pursuit as not
to hear a goods train which came up behind him, and
threw him down, killing him on the spot.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Thomag Burt, a well-:tressed
young man, who described himself as a clerk in
a colonial office in the city, was placed at the bar;
c'natiked with violently assaulting Emtua Fisher, an un-
fortunate girl, residing at No. 7, Great Barlow-street,
Marylebone.
The prcsecutrix, who gave her evidence with great
propriety, deposed tliat about 2 o'clock this morning she
and another young woman le ere proceeding down Regent-
street, when the prisoner, who was in c: mpany with
three other men, carne and-accosted her. She told him
his company was not required, and he then, with a stick
which he had in hi, band, lifted up her clothes in a very
indecent manner, several times,. She requested him
to desist, when he assailed lit r with a volley
of the most obacere language, and then struck her
in the mouth with his stick, cauiirg the blood to flow
pretty freely. She called out " ptl;ce," when he again
struck her just as the officer came up. She then gave
him into custody.
Margaret Earle was with last witness, and fully cor-
roborated all she had stated.

The prisoner emphatieal y denied the accusation, and
called a witness in support thereof. The witness, how-
ever, admitted that he was intoxicated at the time, and
knew nothing at all about the affa'r.
Mr. _Bingham severely admonished the defendant, and
said that women of the prosecutor's class must be pro-
tected as well as others. Prisoner Lad been guilty of a
most violent assault, for which he must c mimitted
for one month under the Aggravated Assaults Act.

The Rev. Hugh Hanna having announced h:s
intention of again setting the authorities at defiance
by holding forth in the open air on Sunday (yester
day) the Belfast Presbytery met on Friday with
the special view of 'taking the rev. disturber's case
into serious consideration. The Rev. Dr. Cooke
was present, and after four hours' solemn•delihert-
tion with c'osed doors, the public were admitted,
and Dr. Cooke rose awl proposed the annexed re-
solutions, which were seconded by Dr. Edgar, and
pass'_ol nem. con., after which the Presbytery ad-
journed, a committee having been formed, consist-
ing of Drs. Cooke, Morgan, Edgar,. and Mr. Mac-
Naughten, to confer at 10 o'clock next day with
Mr. Hanna on the subject of open-air preaching.
" 1. That the preaching of the Gospel in the open air
as well as in our churches, had been customary during
theentlre history of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland:

" 2, Teat Ibis custom we hold to he founded on our
Lord's commission and on Apostolic practice,
" 3. That we are res3lved, by all legitimate means, to
maintain for ourselves, and transmit to posterity, this
right, which we have hitherto uninterruptedly enjoyed.
"4. That, while we are r, solved, we nevertheless
feel conscientiously bound, as ministers of the gospel of
peace, to do all in our power, even in the exercise of
our rights and the performance of our duties, so to live
as a giving no offence in anytl2ine., that the ministry be
not blamed?. (2 Cor. vi. 3., &c.)
"5. That, under the existing circumstances of this
town, we do affectionately entreat our brother, Mr.
Hanna, as a matter of Christian expediency (1 Cor. vi.
12) to desist from open-air preaching till, in the mercy
of God, a reasonable time be afforded for excited pas-
sinus to cool and subside, an event which we hopefully
anticipate, because, until within these few weeks, no
organised obstruction or annoyance was experienced by
any of cur ministers during theiropen-air services in any
part of the town and country.
.a 6. That we most earnestly remonstrate with our
brother its to the language he has occasiona ly employed
in lett,r4 to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and to
the local magistracy.
"7. That a committee be appointed to confer with
Mr. Hanna in r eference to these resolutions ; and that
they be, and Lerehy are, authorised to hake such 'mea
surer as to them shall seem desirable, for maintaining
by appeal, either to the Executive or the Legislature,
the constitutional privileges of this church. The com-
mittee to consist of the Moderator, Drs. Cooke, Morgan,
E le.ar, and Mr Macnauehten."

Undaunted, however, by Presbytery or public
opinion, the Rev. Hugh Hanna 'still seems deter-
mined to show fight. In a brief note addressed to a
friendly local journal he says :
" The meeting of the Belfast Presbytery has com-
plicated the question of open-air preaching in Belfast.
What I may specially do I cannot just now say. The
resolutions of the Presbytery are entitled to a respectful
consideration. I have not yet seen them; but I shall
act according to my own sense of duty, looking for
Divine light to guide me."

" Divine light" to guide a rum, to create riot and
ill-will—if not worse—on the Sabbath-day Mr.
Hanna, however, on second thoughts, adopted the
-wiser course, and made no attempt to repeat his
dangerous experiment,. leaving the field open to
Mr. Matico, the gentleman who has already gained
some little notoriety as one of the apostles of street
preaching. There was not, it appears, the slightest
disturbance yesterday.
