Magistrate, by the industry, ability, integrity and punctuality with

and regard of his feliow•eitizens, and that the circumstance of his

London Tavern, Sept. 2, 1844.

TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF
LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
The decease of your late respected Chamberlain, Sir W. Jicygate,
tart., once more places in your hands the appointment to that
ancient and honourable office.

The various names that have been presented to you of Candidates
for your suffrages, show that in the opinion of Members of the Court
of Aldermen, the distinction and emoluments of Chamberlain should,
as has generally been the case, fall to the lot of one of that body.
I believed that a fitting occasion had occurred for the exercise of your
elective rights with a wider field of choice than the Court of Alder-
men presents ; and I was therefore prepared to give my humble as-
sistance in supporting the claims of a gentleman of distinguished ta-
lent, not a Member of that Court, whose name has been announced
to you. An advertisement in the papers of this day declares that gen-
tleman to be no longer a candidate. Ido not hesitate then to present
myself before you, with the determination that your choice shall not
be confined within the limits of the Court to which I have alluded.
It is true that I cannot, like other aspirants for your suffrages,
found my pretensions on the fact of having already received at your
hands the benefits of station, patronage, and the means of obtaining
rank and heritable honours ; my conduct and character have, there-
fore, been brought less prominently before:you; still I am not wholly
unknown in public life, and may boast of having been able to pre-
serve the good opinion and esteem not only of my friends but of those
to whom antagonist principles In political affairs have frequently
placed me in opposition.
I have beenfor twenty years a member of your body ; a Freeman
of London, and Liveryman of the Innholders' Company.
I need not repeat to you the trite assurances that should I be ho-
noured by your choice, I will be zealous and faithful in the discharge
of the duties of the office ; but, it is quite right that you should be in-
formed that neither inclination nor superfluity of pecuniary means
permit me to have recourse to those appliances by which it has some-
times been thought that votes may be obtained ; and that having thus
publicly placed myself in opposition to the exclusive pretensions of
Members of the Court of Aldermen, I feel that I discharge an im-
portant civic duty, and I respectfully leave the result in your hands.
—I have the honour to be, Brother Liverymen, your very obedient
servant, G. 11. lIEPPEL.

EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS.
This Week, being the Anniversary of the Great Fire of London,

matchless representation, and introduce a display of the admired
warer, jets de feux, with other Oevices, to form a GRAND
PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY

attractive Novelties :
THE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE

ANIMALS-IUNRIVALLED MENAGERIE.

MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME,

Painted by Danson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production Is beyond all
fbrmer ,necedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex.
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
isplay at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia, descriptive of an En-
gagement between the French and English Armes.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conuucted uy Mr. Godfrey,
are up,n a scale of more than usual excellence; lint words fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, 'slat delight is predominant over terror: and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Soutbby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attractive lounge in or near the rretropoli<.

DEATH FROM LIGHTNING.—During a thunder-
storm, on Saturday evening last, three persons were
struck by the electric fluid on Sandford-hill, in the parish
of Widscombe, Somerset ; one of them, a lad, about
eighteen years of age, named George Hares, was killed
on the spot ; the poor fellow's clothes, including his hat
and shoes, were literally torn to pieces and scattered on
the ground. A man, named William Adams, who was
near him at the time, had an exceedingly narrow escape,
the slle of one of his boots being completely torn away
without injury to him further than blistering his foot.
The
track of the electric fluid is visible on the ground
for about thirt— yards, in some places on the surface, and
at others dipp.ng 6 few inches under.—Oristol Gazette.
