efiT F,NTATIoN,

Yesterday a nttnicrons awl highly respectable
'nettling took 'place in. the Egyptian 11111, -Mau-
sion.lionse, to adopt, Resolnt ions two!, the subject
of eldeting a new Nielober to represent the City
in Parliament, in the room of tlarvey Christian

Combe, Esq.
A motion WAS made that Alderman Josnua
Jo-
NATHAN SMITH Shop the Chair, but loud
and repeated cries for Alderman Goodbehere
brought forward that Gentleman ; who sta,ed,
that the worthy Magistrate whose moue was first
mentioned had already filled the Civic Chair, and
of course his presiding would give a better cha-
racier to the in eting..
Mr. Alderman J.J. Sprint then took the Chair,
the consent of the assembly. He felt the
utmost pleasure, as he expressed himself, in pre
siding over a meeting assembled the object
of considering who ,was the most eligible person
to represent the Ci yof London When the ta-
lents and virtnes of their old friewl, Harvey
Combe, were contemplated, the thing most likely
to soecest itself was, the substitution of another
qualified as he was', and exhibiting proofs that be
was likely to retain. the confidence of his fellow-
citizens. There was one about to he pot in no-
mination Mite would discharge' all the duties of a
Parliamentary situation with the, greatest fidelity.
Cooled soy nice more deserving their confidence be
proposed than the man who hid trice sersed as
Chief Magistrate—(Great Applause)--and show('
in :lie performance of his to roirold antics the most
extraordinary zeal and hoegri'y ? The meeting
would, he tru.red, wits. all nnanimqns vo!'e, re-
commend the Livery to creel the Lord Mayor as
their llepresentatise in Neliament.—(Applmise.)
Mr. WILLI/01s, the b tok. t, came forward to pro-
pose f heresointions. Hr re;:retted the indisposition
of \lr. Combe, which riepri,ed the City of that gen-
tleman's manly. exertions in, Parliament, an:l could
not help admiring the readiness with which he had
obeyed ,the intimation of the City of London,
upon the. subject Of the ropri,ty of his resigna-
tion of his seat. Ph,aieal `treilgtil was, indeed,
nrceisary for the performalice of. such (hides as
the seeeroy of the t;iues imposed it the repre-,
Jentative of so large a ho(jy of the people of Eng-
.l4oo. It was necessary to have one IWO)_ abb•
to aSSelt beddly and tinily the opinions and the in-
juries of the, people; awl, it the nation was at
last to ero,ch undo a military iespotism, capable
of standing to' ward as the oc gait of los constitn-
cots. and calling tor Iltrir rights, in the midst of
political alarms ''nd embarrassments, SuCh a cha-
racter did vie Lord Mayor present. SO goal lied
was he ro tell bold truths, and to earry conviciioo,
.not only by the power of his rr hsoning and of his
experience, but by the well kiton n honour and
independence of his character,.
Lott it ,would be a
libel upon the lisety to suppose them capable of ad-
mittingacompetitton,howeverremarkabletheother
candidate might be in the necessity qualifications.
(Applause.)--The friends of ft very worthy and
able matt ( Waithuto), and that Gentleman
himself, were, so confident of the strength of such
claims, that they dropped all thought of competi-
tion. Mr. Williams then made soul • observations
stun the Habeas Corpus Suspension Net ; and
stated, that the Lord Mayor, who had furnished
Government with the first intelligence upon the
subject of the disturbances by which that sui-
pension,had .been caused, was better qualified to
give an opinion upon the subject io Parliament
than any man ist existence. Mr. W. then men-
' tismed, that the Lord Mayor was supposed to he
the fret intended victim of the plot, but that his
conduct to the mob, by whom he was sUrrountled,
was.soch as to chang. that intention into applause.
He 'then moved t first resolution, which was se-
conded by
Alikrrnan GOODBaHtilia,. who applauded the
' Parliamentary condect of Mr. Comhe; and' eN-
pressed his confidence; that the Lord Mayor
would be a worthy substitute. He complimented
Mr. Waitliman upon the conduct heh ad adopted ;
and expressed A hope, that the time WKS not dii'
ant when those two independent and able men
would sit together in Parliament.
Mr. Waits said, it ;was necessary the Repre-
sentatives of the City of London should have ac-
tive minds and active habits, and he well acquaint •
ed with the commercial interests of the country.
The Resolntions were all unanimouslyagreed to.
The LORD MAvoit, as soon as that recommend-
ing,that he be returned to Parliament was vassed,
stood forward amidst lOud applauses. He was, he
said, so overpowered with emotions of gratitude,
as to be unable to collect his thoughts sufficiently
to give the meeting an idea of what he felt towards
them. He spoke of his habits of friendship with
Mr. Conlin, of the advantages he derived frourbis
early acquaintance with that excellent man, and
of his sorrow at tke circumstances Which led to
the recent relignatiqn of his seat in
If what had occurred at the Common-ball gave
any offence, he (hie Lord Mayor). felt conscious
of having intended oothilig More thati the decla-
ration of what he knew tic he the fact---namely,
Mr. Conches disinclimition to interfere any farther
in public business. Under similar circtonstances,he
should feel as Mr.-Comhe bad felt ; and be d asslire
the meeting, that if want of health, nettle interven-
'firth of anyot hercalantity,depri vedbim of the power
of doing his duty in Parliament, one month-should
not pass over before he would resign his seat.—(Ap.
plause!)—The people of Ldetion had the security.
of their own experience upon this occasion. They
knew the
pillion! principles upon which he Li ad act-
ed, and must he convinced that be would never de-
part from them. " If," said he, ." I did not go
WO that Hollbe with the determination to express
the sentiments of the Livery, I would not go into
it at all." lie concluded with saying, that the
only reward he sought was - the approbation of
his fellow-citizens, and that, as his public duties
required a very 'close attendance, he should de-
petal upon the exertions of his friends in the con-
duct of the election. •
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting broke up.
It was understood that no opposition is now
contemplated.
A fear of the party stylingatmbeomosesltvweshtohme ,:vaLso?aiel
