CITY ELECTION—(LAsr DAY)

The poll finally closed at three o'clock yesterday, when the
numbers stood thus—

Thompson - - - - 608
Waithmsn - - - - 561.2
Ward , - • - - - 4991
Woad - - - 4880
Lord .Mayor - - - 4514
AI; soon Al the tremendous noise and uproar excited by the an-
nouncement had subsided,

Mr. Alderman Toostreoal carine forward, anti. coogratidAted
the Liverymen on his success. He' assure them that he
duly appreciated the high privilege tvhieh they had just einiferred
upon on him, as he was convinced he had obtained it, not by any
professions or promises, hut entirely through the good opinion
which they had formed of his past conduct. lb would ever con-
tinue anxious to discharge the high h ust With inde,pendence, and
attention to their interests, and hoped, be his conduct in Pal lit-
ment, to secure their future good opinion. Owing to the great
estimation which he felt from the heat and fatigue of the day, he
hoped they mould excuse him for not saying more, and begged of
them to accept his cordial and grateful, thanks for the distinguish-
ed honour which they had conferred on hiria:—(Applause.)
31r.-A.lderman WAITIIMAN sysa warmly cheered as he came
forward., lie was happy to think that his friends bad attended
to his request yesterday end the day before, and that their exer- •
thins in his behalf had been most triumphant. During the whole
of the contest the conduct of ail the Candidates had been most
fair and, honourable_.( Great applause)—and he had not witnessed
one unpleasant feeling on the part of any of them. When he spoke
of triumph he begged to be distinctly understood. He .did not
mean a triumph over any individual—nothing was farther from
his intentions. Ile meant the triumph, riot of an individual, but
of principle.—( Hear, hear. )—lie begged to repeat that the conduct
of all the Candidates had been most honourable ; but still' it was
obvious that some individuals had resorted to improper measures
to injure Mr. Alderman Wood and himself. They had all seen
the placards which had been put forth. One of them appeared.as
if coming from his Committee, and implied some blame against
Alderman Wood on account of his conduct at the last election.
Poth he and his Committee discountenanced every thing of the
kind. He said such stetements were base, unwarranted, and
counterfeit. He and his friends had used every legal and fair
means to further their cause, but they had acted openly—they
had not carried on a cowardly warfare, and 'Allied, like
these individuals, to meet their opponents face to face. lie
sincerely congratulated the independent Livery of London on the
triumph which they had gained---a triumph the more astonishing,
as ail those who supported hint were only volunteers, and but A
email band when compared to the mighty phalanx opposed to them.
They had, however, stood their ground, and manfully retisted 'the
enemy.—(Bravo.)—From what occurred in the early part of
that day, and of the day befiire, it was obvious that the enemy
mustered strong, and counted upon victory. tits little bend, how=
ever, had formed themselves into it square, repulsed the enenty,
and placed him at least in the relative position which he had al-
most invariably held all along. They let the energy know their
power, and convinced them that the great body of the traders of
London were not only capable of judging for themselres, but de-
termined to support the individual of their choice in spite of all
opposition. He would only repeal what had been said by one of
the voters that day. ~Alter giving these votes which be watt in a

meritoriously carried their point.

duct if elected ?—(No, no.)—Hs knew, that if the question had
been put to any of them bow they would vote on the Catholic
question, not one of them would have given any pledge—and
be would say, that if any of them had given such a pledge,
he was unfit for his aituation.—(ilese, hear !)—He would
tell his reason for this. Suppose some great change should
take place in the country, and it should be found expediint
to grant the Catholics cencessions for the safety of the em-
pire at large, would any Member be justified in bibding him-
self thorn by any pledge to oppose the intseests of the coun-
try ?—(No, llonoureble Friend Mr. Ward—he
would call him hie Friend, and trusted he would continue
so through life—he Mr. Ward would give no direct answer to the
question—he had not mile up his mind, and he believed, if the
questioe had been put, all the other candidates would have acted
in the same manner. lie (Mr. Alderman Wood) had been se-
verely injured by some individuals, but he could assure them that
he should retain no grudge against them. He had to bear all the
brunt and injurious effects of these placards; they weft aimed
principally et. him. One of the individuals, who had taken an
active part, wits brought before the sitting Magistrate at Guildhall,
the preceding day, and fined in a certain penalty for the offence.
That person. was not the author, but as he refused to give him up,
he was called upon to pay the fine, anti not being able, was com-
mitted to prison. These placards, as +some insinuated, had been
put forthby Mr. Ward's friends, It was quite improbable that
this could be the case: The Catholic question was too tender a
subject for him to touch on, and it was, therefore, preposterous
to suppose that he could lend himself to such a measure.---
The author, as yet, had escaped, but no ,i.warts should "be
left untried to find him out. Notwithstanding, the' oppose-
Lion raised, against him by these unfair means,- he • • was highly
gratified by the noble conduct of many, and by the final issue
of the contest. Many voters had. given him plumper', and
one gentleman, whom he had never seen before, -came ,ferward
that day and gave him a plumper, merely became he was
a persecuted toan.—(Hear, bear, hear.)—He hoped the country
would not, be agltated by: the qtiestion, but whenever the
question was again brought forward, he should, as , he
had always done, give a. conscientious vote. He thought it
too hard that he, should be so exclaimed against by a
certain party, fir the light it( which had viewed a gum-
titans ail, 'Whittli grtateitSl4.B4*-444 alit erect.. He woad:
just take the liberty of reeding tut extract from the speech
of a great man on the subject. It MOS delivered in the
year 18114.—CA friend of Mr. Alderman Wood then read
part of Mr. Pitt's speech delivered that ,tiostion on the Catholic
Question, in which he ea/mimed it as hie opinion, that the dr-
mainly of the ("atholies ought.to he grentsuis provided that the
concessions were accompanied with salegtvirds foe.the /security of
the Protestantreligion.) Another calumny had. been raised
against him, lie alladed to the meeting said, to bare been held
in a Catholic Chapel the previous day, and the Heeolutions said
to have been agreed to. Nothing could be more absurd and un-
likely than that the people should rally round him on such an
oecsiion. The whole was a tissue of falsehood from beginning
to end, and a trick of the enemy to do him an injury. His ob-
ject was to promote religious liberty, but at the same time he was
proud to think that be was as staunch a friend of the Protestant re-
ligion as any of the candidate, could be.—(Hear, hear !)---std

to do so, anti not only ;mkt his Mewls,' but do what lie could for

The LORD MAYOR. was reerived with the most marked respect
by all around him, and repeatedly cheered by the great body of
the people in the Hall. He said he had, indeed, lost the elec-
tion ; hut still he was proud to think that be bad a greater num-
ber of votes than any other candidate for a Log time before—he
had„4,515 votes. In 1820, Mr. Alderman Bridges was return-
ed, when he had only 4,015. In ISM another candidate was
.chcieen by 4,1340 ; and in 1812, a third member had only 1M45
votes. So that his had polled nearly one thousand more
than one of the successful candidates on that °cession. He,
therefore, hoped that they did not consider it presumption
in him to have continued the contest.-..,.(N0, nn.)—lle trusted
that he retired with undiminished reputation, and that he

Mort of the candidates had complained more or less of meant
Which had been resorted to for the purpose of injuring their
cause. He, however, had more reason to complain than any of
them. He would not dwell on such a disagreeable eubject long,
but would only mention two cireumatances which most undoubt-
edly lost him the election. Shortly after he devilryd himself a
candidate, a certain gentleman had made an attack on him with
regard to the Catholic question. Mr. Poynder had written him
a letter for the purpose of ascertainining his views on that subject.
---'That letter, and the answer, had been published, and had con-
tributed most materially to injure his cause. He considered that
undue advantage had Iwo taken of the circumstance. The an-
swer, Mr. P. said, was nut sufficiently explicit on the Catholic
'lnestion, end he could not vote for him without some pledge to
make no further coneeasions to the Cat Vies. lie never would
give such a pledge. lie should be ashimed to do so, and it
would bt disgraceful to the city of London if 'the candidates
should be so instructed. He was as zealous a field to .the Pro
testant church as any man, but at the en" time he must say
that, on reffecting on the tumults and loss of lives which the" No
Popery ", cry had produced in the city fifty years ago, it would
have been most imprudent and most dangerous for him to have
lent his name and sanction to a similar party at the present day.'

The -people laugh when any attempt is mole to raise the 44 No

and the unbending finnness with -which Mr. Pallmer refused to
give any pledge to oppose Catholic emancipation, *vett though. it
should cost him his election, has won all hearts 'enit disarmed

in his carriage on his return hunts this morning ; but the attack
amounted to noticing more than some hearty hisses end groans.—
