Titll:y w-s tlieTe for the Livery ?
for. his part, could sec none in tile world.

Some fikewssion now ensued, as to the pro-
priety of the trier puttirlg the question. That
Gentleman having refuted to do so, 1I r. Parkins,
'he new Sheriff, Came forward and did so, and it
was of course carried nunnimosisly,.
The COMMON SERJEANT then came forward,
and observed, that since the Meeting had heard
the names of the persons put its nomination rem!
over, two persons (Messrs. Hunt and Fearon) had
also nominated Mr. Alderman Wood, and there-
fore that Gentleman would also be put in nomi-
nation.

The Crier then came forward and read the fol-
lowing names in rotation :—Sir Matthew Blox•
ant, Mr, Alderman Maguay, G. Brydges, Esq.
William ileygate, Esq. Robert Albion Cox, Esq.
John Thomas Thorp, and Mr. Alderman Wood.
The Court here rang with applause and loud
huzzas.
The COMMON SBRJEANT stated the Election to
have fidlen on Aldermen Thorp and Wood.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Al-
derman Brydges, and the necessary erections ac-
cordingly made. At s quarter past four the books
were opened, remained so until a quarter past
five, at which time the numbers were declared to
be a 3 follows :

- -
Thorp 4C9
Alderthaii
13ry(Iges

Sir J. :IYLVE3TEIC ve vute to Nlr. Alder-
-1111411 rigeS ; Mr. Ilont and Mr. Pc..rson, the
Attorney, voted for Aldermen %Vont! and Thorp.
Shorily before the numbers were declared, Mr.
Fleet Came forward, and exhibited the following
:

" It you wish for either Alderman Wood or
Alderman you must vote for both."
11r. HUNT, on the state of the poll being ex-
hibited, again came forward, and gave the signal
for three cheers, which were given accordingly.
Mr. l'itansoN now came forward —The state of
the poll demanded a few words from the friends
of those Geoilemen whose names appeared nt
the top of those boards (piiiotiog to the
hoard.) He thanked them for their exertions
this day, and expressed a hope that every man
would come forward to-morrow and do his ditty,
He enforced the necessity of every one giving a
double vote, tool observed, that many Geode-
men had, in the course of this day's pull, given
sitmgle ones, they not being aware (lint they could
do otherwise. Nothing but giving double votes
could accomplish their object, for it was necessary
to return two Aidettneu to the Court fine their
approval of one of them, and nothing would se-
cure their rights but the return of Aldermen Wood
or Thorp. Of one of those Gentlemen it was
well known that lie would on ail occasions call a
Common Hall when required by the Livery, and
there was not the slightest reason to believe that
Alderman Thorp would not du the same.
Mr. HUNT, having been one of the proposers of
Aldermau Wood, could not help cowing forward
to impress on their imitis the necessity of :exertion.
Every Alr!erinan '.hat had this day given his vote
had done so for Alderman Brydges.—(here Mr.
Beachley loizzaed, which called forth consider-
able disapprobat proceeded—ll e hoped
such a body of the Livery as lie then saw could
not be offended at finding one solitary person
have the hardihood to " huzza."—(Cries of name
him, and torn him out, mingled with applause.)
No, said Hoot, give every man an opportunity of
being heard. A Gentleman behind hail informed
him that the Gentleman who hod huzzaed was
one of the Common Council, and had given his
vote against the Resolutions they had unanimous-
ly adopted.
Mr. BEACHLEY—I aid. —(Applause.)
Mr. IIoNT proceeded :—'l here was ail old vul-
gar saying, that they should ' give the Devil 11;s
due,' and they had now only to give this' Devil '
his due.—(Laughter.)-24.11 the Aldermen had
acted contrary to the wishes of tile Livery, and it
only remained for them to come forward and pro-
tect Iteinseives.—(A loud call on the speaker to
eanse Mi. Beachley.)—That Gentleman was not
worth tiaming ; he had expressed his opinion, and
they had also expressed theirs ; and he called
on them for God's sake not to let their animosity
go out of the Hall, After thanking the Livery
for their exertions in the " Cause of Liberty,"
and calling on every one who bad a wife, a
sister, or a sweetheart, to use their exertions
with them to procure their assistance, and make
them collie forward', he retired.
The Meeting then dispersed, after expressing
their feelings towards the respective Candidates,
and again cheering by the instructions of Mr.
Hunt.
