GE.T.h lEmE)t, _
At CANVASS havinc, commenced for the
OFFICE of-LORD MIYOR- of this City for the
ensuing year, I should be wanting in respect to you, and in
justice to myself, were I to delay thus publicly to state the
ground's upon which it is my intention to become a CANDI-
DATE for that that distinguished honour: • The present is the
year in which,' according to the order of date, it would fall to
my lot, by the usual rotation, to serve the office of Chief Ma-
gistrate, and to which, since the decease -of Mr. Alderman
Goodbehere; I have naturally looked. It wakwith this feel-
ing that on the lastyear I thought myself justified in declining
to demand a poll, although it was my determination to Serve if
returned at the Common Hall ; and it is with this feeling that
I now
,tcquest the lion...lnt-6T your ;Atm:dance gird support ton
the day of Election, and of your suffrages at the Poll, which I
have decided, if necessary, to demand.
I sincerely regret that a contest should be likely to arise, and
aiikanxious to avoid every thing which may bear even the ap-
pearance of an unfriendly or unkind feeling, but convinced
that upon no reasonable construction of the custom of rotation
do I interfere with the just claims of any other Gentleman, and
in justice to my brethren of the Court of Aldermen who-have
not passed the . Chair, I can never admit the principle which
would allow any Member of that Body to claim the rotation' at•
his pleasure.

In thus 'alluding to the rotation, which has always appeared
to me to conduce in general-to the respectability of the Magis-
tracy, I trust I cannot be charged with an attempt to question
or controul, in the slightest degree, the right to which the Li-
very are clearly entitled, and which they have so often at all
periods exercised, of deviating from that custom, whenever
they may think such a departure called for by a regard to the
objects and principles for which it was originally introduced,
and from which agile it derives its utility.
My public conduct is well known to, my Fellow Citizens. I
may have been often mistaken, but I can say With truth, that I
have been always sincere in the endeavour to combine modera.
tion with firmness, and independence of party with loyalty to
the Throne, and with an unshaken attachment to the constitu-
tional freedom of our country. By a reference to that con.
duct, rather than by any profbssions in my power to make,
you, Gentlemen, will be best able to judge how far I am
likely to execute with impartiality and effect the duties of the
Mayoralty, to maintain your rights and franchises, and to up.
hold, under every robable circumstance, in the ensuing year,
the high character and the ancient dignity of the Corporation
and City of London.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
Wlll. HEYGATE.

CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.—A 'sum of 5,0001.
stands invested for' the mutual benefit of two
very excellent institutions in London—the Mag-
dalen Asylum, and the Foundling Hospital. It
was bequeathed to them by one Ormichand, a
black merchant in Calcutta, who left many
equally liberal donations to' other charitable in-
stitutions in all parts of the world.

Mr.-RoiniiSoig of Upperby, has just finished
weaitingsome.fine table -cloths, for Mrs, Scott,
of Penrith,lhe thread of which was spun within
the last twelve months, by Nary Noble, of that
place, residing with
,Mr. Jonathan Nicholson.
By the register E of ircomVold parish, it appears,
she was bapti-zed the 17th of Sept., 1716, and
Consequently is within a few days of the very ex-
traordinary age of 105 years! . Except hearing,
her inental.and bodily faculties are comparatively
unimpaired,.and she, daily pursues, without in-
termission, her al'cwation of spinning. Her yarn
is remarkably fnie and even.
