THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.
The Lord Chancellor having appointed Saturday
morning at eleven o'clock to give her Majesty's ap-
probation to the election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs to
the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London for
the year ensuing, the present Lord Mayor, Sir
• William Magnay, Bart., the Sheriffs, Recorder,
Chamberlain, several Aldermen, and most of the civic
officers, arrived at his Lordship's house, in George-
street, Hanover-square, at a quarter before eleven
o'clock, and were ushered into the State drawing-room.
At eleven o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, preceded by
his mace and sword bearer, entered the room, when
The RECORDER said—My Lord Chancellor, I have
the honour to present to your Lordship Michael
Gibbs, Esq., Alderman and Fishmonger, whom the
citizens of London have elected to be their Chief
Magistrate for the ensuing year. The election of Mr.
Gibbs has been conducted with all due regard to the
ancient charters and customs of the City, and that
gentleman has been almost unanimously elected to
• the civic chair. With regard to the fitness and
ability of Mr. Gibbs to fill the high office of Lord
Mayor there could not be a doubt. In early life he
was engaged in successful commercial trap actions,
and as far back as the year 1818 he was chosen a
member of the Court of Common Council, and his re-
election was never opposed. Mr. Gibbs was in 1838
elected Alderman of Walbrook ward, and he had per-
formed the duties of a magistrate of the city of
London with the greatest credit to himself and to the
satisfaction of the public. After the passing of the
New Poor-law Bill, Mr. Alderman Gibbs was elected
Chairman of the City of London Poor-law Union,
which contained no less than ninety-two parishes.
Mr. Gibbs had given the greatest satisfaction in per-
forming the duties of that responsible office, and had
every year been re-appointed ; that was not all, for
eight years the Lord Mayor elect had been Chair-
man of the Commissioners of Sewers; he was annu-
ally elected, and his services were not only duly ap-
preciated, but he had received the thanks of the Com-
missioners for his zeal and attention. Mr. Gibbs had
also served the high and important office of shpyht
of London and Middlesex, with the greatest credit
to himself, and with satisfaction tr.`, his V fellow-
citizens ; as, on his retiring from that office, he re-
ceived an unanimous vote of thanks from the Livery
in Common-hall assembled. It was after twenty-
five years' experience that the Livery of London
had sent Mr. Alderman Gibbs's name to the Court of
Aldermen for Chief Magistrate,and that Court had con-
firmed the choice. He (the Recorder) in conclusion,
might say that the experience, skill, and ability of the
Lord Mayor elect could not be doubted. He was in
every way qualified to perform the duties of chief
magistrate of the city of London, and he thought that
those duties would be performed in a manner equal to
any of his predecessors, and perhaps never surpassed.
In the execution of his high functions Mr. Alderman
Gibbs he was convinced would show his loyalty to the
Crown, and he was equally certain that the Lord
Mayor elect would he faithful to his fellow-citizens.
In conclusion, the Recorder prayed most respectfully
her Majesty's gracious approbation to the choice the
Livery had made of Lord Mayor of the city of London.
for the year ensuing.
The LORD CILVSCEELOR said—My Lord Mayor
elect, I have great pleasure in congratulating you ou
your appointment to the high office of Lord _Mayor of
London. It is an office of great importance and
dignity, and one which I have no doubt will be fay
sustained in your hands. And 1 have the satisfaction
of stating' to you and those assembled that her Ma-
,icsty faliy approves and eonfirms The choice the Livery
of London hare made in the election of chief magis-
trate for the year-ensuing. His Lordship then, in a
ilayneirryl;:niß.

The members' of the corporation present partook of
)iieuits and wine, and immediately afterwards retired.
I'he whole ceremony did not occupy half an hour.

KIDNAPPING OF GERMAN
CHILDREN..
Some days since the Rev. Mr. Cappel, minister of
the German Lutheran Church, Goodman's-fields,
waited upon Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, to ascer-
tain if he could exercise his magisterial authority to
prevent the present disgraceful system of importing
German children into this country by a set of worth-
less fellows, who manage to live in luxury and idle-
ness by their exertions, and who, beyond turning
their industry to profitable account, pay not the
slightest attention to their moral conduct or character.
The Rev. Gentleman informed Mr. Henry of a case in
which the conduct of a man named Winter towards a
German girl was highly improper, and which having
obtained publicity in the London journals, was copied
into the German papers, and created the most lively
interest amongst the highest classes in that country.
Indeed so great was the interest, created on the sub-
ject, that a communication had been made to Chevalier
Bunsen, the Prussian Minister in this country; and
it was by the desire of that distinguished personage
that he (the Rev. Mr. Cappel) had waited upon his
worship. Mr. Henry at that time interned the Rev.
Gentleman that he would be most happy, if the law
enabled him to do so, to put an end to the system
complained of ; but the truth was, that he had no
power even to check it. The evil complained of
could only be put an end to in Germany, where it
was necessary to obtain passports for the removal of
these children, and where, if a proper surveillance was
adopted, such persons as Winter might be punished.
Mr. Henry informed the Rev. Gentleman, that if any
case came under his notice, where the treatment of
those children should be the subject, he would take
care and communicate with him. •
Since that time, Mr. Henry received a note and
document from a gentleman in the country, and
having sent for the Rev. Mr. Cappel, read them in his
presence. The following are the documents :
" Sir,—Having seen in the daily papers an account
of an application to you by the Rev. Mr. Cappel, re-
lative to a case in which a person of the name of Philip
Winter was concerned, I beg to inform you this
Philip Winter was fined in September, at Kingswin-
ford, 10s. for cruelty to a dog, and at Wolverhamp-
ton, 20s. for a like offence, a week afterwards. I send
you an agreement, of which there were many in his
possession, together with the application of the Rev.
Mr. Cappel, in April last at your Court. I consider
the agreement so preciou§ a proof of English volun-
tary slavery, that I asked permission to keep one
copy with its threepenny receipt stamp attached.
" J. U?'
Tht following is the extraordinary document al-
luded to. It is written on a sheet of foolscap, with ,
sixpenny receipt stamp pasted at the top so as to form
a part:—
" We separately and jointly do agree to become
servenis to Mr. Philip Winter, and to hold in pos-
sesson one piano, and also one tamborine, and be ser-
vants to the said Philip Winter for two years certain.
