THE 7WARDMOTES.

CRIPPLEGA I E

Alderman Challis took the chair at one o'clock, and,
lifter the election of the inqut st, and other routine busi-
L'ess, preee, ded to the election of Common Councilmen.
~,Messrs. Smith, Hoele, Brow, Dewar, Brop, and Lert,
lj 11g returned by their several precincts, were elected.
Mr. B. SMITH nominated Mr. Fr.'st. and Mr. PERKS
lleconded the motion ; and Mr. Frost was also elected.
Mr. Sneer begged to propose Mr. Bennoch as a fit
'person to represent them. He had had the same
easure lest year, and however he might differ from
Bennoch on certam political grounds, he still con-
sidered h m as worthy their entire confidence. He
iebr • Shatp) must, however, refer to ono point, which
13: excited some animadversion in the ward. Mr.
Bennoch had entrusted to him, a few wet Its ago, a reso-
lution concerning the Papal aggression, when, instead
of condemning the Pope, he lauded Cardinal Wiseman,
1,1_(1 denounced our Universities. With this exception,
e fully approved Mr. Bennoch's conduct.
4ur• SAMWAYS had much pleasure in seconding the
nomination. Although he agreed with Mr. Bennoch
about the Pope, he could not agree with him about
Smithfield.f He had attended Smithfield every week
or sixteen years, and hoped that Smithfield, and the
'liner markets, would be left to benefit the citizens.
Mr. BAMFORD thought the last gentleman had entirely
Itietaken Mr. Bennoch's view as regarded Smithfield,
Which he believed to be based on the broad principles of
urcecit
j. He (Mr. Bamford) had last week sat on an
by
ury inquiring into the death of a person killed
Y a bullock; and, like Mr. Bennoch, he hoped that
u'Beee.long the Smithfield nuisance would be removed.
Mr. BENtrooß could not but feel gratified that, how-
Mr his friends and neighbours might disapprove certain
nil acts and opinions, they still accorded to him their
unqualified confidence. Ile rather delighted in the
references made to his conduct, as it proved that the
'constituency carefully watched their representatives,
red it was fortunate for him that what one friend
another approved, and so he was led to believe
thatsee&
on the whole his views were in harmony with those
held by a large majority of the electors. It was his fate
seldom give a silent vote, and therefore his opinions
might be more freely canvassed than others who were
Silent. This, however, he must say, that on all leading
lil4l and political questions the members of the ward of
e°°
sriPPlegate Within were an undivided phalanx. Mr.
eettrawaYs had hoped that he (Mr. Bennoch) would
—tinge his views as regards Smithfield. He begged
!I.assure Mr. Samways there was little chance of that.
f, "ere was not an opinion he had publicly expressed,
the
• a vote he had given in the Common Council,
t'ut's3 could or would desire to cancel ; least of all
Place
relating to Smithfield. However elegant the
'o,,tlce proposed, so long as the mat ket continued in the
"Y they could never get rid of the great monster
nuisance resulting from driving cattle through the
crowded streets. En the proposed new market ap•
Proved by Mr. te''amv.w iays had uecn condemned by the in-
habitants of Smithfield on the ground that to remove it
aquarter of a mile northward, a.; proposed, would be to
themt as injurious as if the market were taken outside
e 6 Metropolis. A deputation, headed by the son of their
jeellent Alderman, had waited on the Market Committee
a° enforce these views. It was true that Farringelon-hell
had lately rung with the eloquence of his esteemed
friend the City Solicitor, and echoed the plaudits of an
rng but deeply interested audience,coposed chiefly
unichers. This aborthe attempt to resumscitate a cry
mi▪
nd,
of that sink of iniquity fell dead on the public
_led, and, whether intended to cast ridicule on the pro-
ceedings of the meeting refe-red to, or as an accidental
satirical a
coincidence, he could not say, but the next suc-
coeding paragraph graeely detailed the particulars of an
, quest held on the body of a person killed by an in-
Triated Smithfield beast. Thank heaven, it is doomed,
ild_ next session of Parliament will doubtless blot that
ab otnination from the metropolis. Ho heard a whisper
eof corporation reform—to think of reforming the cor-
Potation from within was hopeless. The advocates of
progressive improvement were in a melancholy minority.
h%. sulitery cry was occasionally heard, but it fell un-
heeded, It was like wailing in the wilderness—
therek were no friendly ears to listen end approve. If
they really meant to reform the corporation it must
come", from without. Having thus alluded to his home
policy, he must have one word fur his friend Mr. Sharp.
e begged to assure him that he was no friend to Car-
dinal Wiseman. While he dates ed and abhorred his
religious opinions aad practices as much as any man, yet
he was not blind to the genius manifested in the writings
of the Cardinal; the r °found ability exhibited made him
su antagonist not to be treats d with contempt. At the
same time, however much he (Mr. Bennoch) might con-
demn the Popish proceedings, he still more condemned
the
conduct of the faithless SODS of the Church, whose
sham Homanism was to them so pleasant, but whose
stomachs rebelled against the real and unadulterated
article. Priestcraft always had been, and always would
,be intolerant, whether beaming from under the mitre of
cia Holiness Charles James of London, or fulminated by
the
Pope of Rome. The Dean of Bristol had declared
that Church abuses had always be en introduced by the
clergy, while its purification came from the laity, a cone;
phmerit and truth not to be forgotten. The Queen s
replies
to the Corporation were worthy their exalted
sou unmistakeable, firm, announcing to her
s
'l-I°.itcts that while she resisted all aggression and encroach-
Tent, come from what quarter they might, she was also
determined to maintain inviolate the civil rights and re-
'
„igious privileges of her people.—(Hear, hear.) I hope
and trust the First Minister of the Crown will have the
courage to advise her in her Speech from the Throne in
calling on her Parliament to pass such laws—should
any be necessary—as shall enable her to curb the in-
solence of a foreign ecclesiastic. She will also recom-
mend that they strike the fetters from the Jcw, and an-
nihilate the last pain or penalty for conscience sake.
..hilistory does not describe a nobler attitude than this—
England proving to the world, that while she knows how
to defend her dignity, she also knows the moment to
concede, and never forgets justice; on the one hand be-
holds the humbled Jesuit, on the other the liberated Jew.
Mr. Bennoch was then elected almost by acclamation.
Mr. JACKSON complained that for months past the gas-
elamPa had winked and blinked, and gave no light, and
Roped this would be remedied.
Mr. BENNoCH was not surprised at the complaint of
Mr. Jackson. For years private persons had complained,
and by their own exertions remedied the evil. The old
companies were at their wits' end, driven to despair by
their younger rival, and doubtless winked and blinked'"
in their last hopeless effort to keep themselves awake;
and if the citizens would only require their representa-
tives to obtain their gas for the public lamps from the
new company, all complaints would cease.—(Laughter.)
A Tote of thanks was then given to the Alderman, and
he proceedings terminated.

THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT.—We regret to state
that the Duke of Beaufort is still compelled, from illness, to
keel) his room. On inquiry yesterday at Beaufort-house, his
Grace was reported to be somewhat better. In cons, quence
of the continued indisposition of the Noble Duke, the
Duchess and Ladies Somerset will remain in town during
the winter.
