ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.

(THIS DAY.)
A Common Hall was held this day in the Guildhall
according to annual custom, for the purpose of pro.
ceeding to the election of two members of the Court
of Aldermen, one of whom is selected by that Court
to serve the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing.
In consequence of its being known that the return
of Alderman T. Wood would not be permitted to
take place without a contest, and that the worthy
Alderman was determined, in the event of his return
being opposed, to go to the poll, there was a great
crowd collected outside the Hall at an early hour.
The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs arrived at the Guild-
hall shortly after eleven o'clock, and at half-past
eleven the Corporation proceeded in procession to
attend Divine service at the church of St. Lawrence.
Alderman 'l'. Wood was very early in his attendance.
-He was among those members of the Corporation who
attended Divine service, as were Alderman Humphrey
and Magnay.
The neighbourhood of the Guildhall exhibited all
the bustle usually attendant upon a contested elec-
tion. There were several placards exhibited, all
however of a business character, such as " Vote for
T. Wood and Humphrey, the next in rotation,"
" Vote for Humphrey and Magnay," " Vote for the
Lord Mayor and Gibbs." Although the occasion
seemed almost to call for a display of the witty powers
of the citizens themselves, not a single squib, or any
thing havingthe remotest pretensions to one, was ex-
hibited. As the hour approached for the return of
the Corporation from church, the hall began rapidly
to fill, and by one o'clock it was crowded.
The Corporation returned from church shortly
after one o clock. There was no demonstration of
popular feeling either as they were going to or as
they returned from church.
At ten minutes after one the Lord Mayor took the
chair. The differerit civic authorities took their places
on the platform, and the hall was opened in the usual
form.

Alderman T. Wood on coming forward was re-
ceived with mingled expressions of disapprobation,
and applause. The applause, however, predominated.
The Lord Mayor was received with slight cheering.
Silence having, been proclaimed,
The RECORDER came forward to address the Li-
very. He said that they were assembled to exercise
the highest privilege conferred upon them by the
charter of their ancient City. According to their
charter the legal qualifications for the Lord Mayor
elect were, that he should be a member of the Court
of Aldermen, and that he should have served the office
of Sheriff. it was their privilege to return two indi-
viduals duly qualified to serve the office to the Court
of Aldermen, in order that they might select
one of those persons so qualified to fill the
office. The names of those Aldermen who
had not already passed the Chair, would be sub-
' initted to them by the Learned Common Sergeant,
and it was their duty to return two of their number
to the Court of Aldermen. It was their undoubted
right and privilege to choose which they liked. Of the
fitness of the different parties to serve the office, they
were the sole judges.—(Cheers.) They were to re-
turn those who, in their opinion, were the best fitted
to fulfil the duties which would del olve upon them.
The COMMON SERGEANT then read over the names
of the di&rent Aldermen qualified to serve the office,
in the same order in which they were afterwards sub-
mitted to the Livery. The Learned Common Ser-
geant then read a letter from the medical attendant
of Alderman Lainson, requesting that that gentleman
might not be put in nomination this year, on the
ground of ill health.
Mr. Alderman THOMAS WOOD then came forward
amidst much cheering and some marks of disappro-
bation, to address the Hall. He stood before them
not in the capacity of a candidate for the office of Lord
Mayor, but as the Alderman in rotation, for their ap-
probation and that distinction which belonged to
honourable men.—(Cheers.) Aspersions had been
cast upon him, and extensively circulated, with a view
alike to damage the character he held in society and
his interests as a member of their Corporation. He
had sought for, he had courted inquiry three
successive thnes—(Hear, hear)—in his own Court,
and that had been refused him.—(Hear, hear.)
Ile, therefore, stood before them without any charge
substantiated to his prejudice, and if any accusation
were then brought forward, he was ready to meet it.
—(Cheers.) He had for the last two rears been sub-
ject to as gross a persecution as a public man had ever
endured.—(Hear.) Attempts had been made last year
to prevent his return, but the kindness of his fellow-
citizens had seen through the artifice, and had return-
ed him with the present Right Hon. Lord Mayor, for
the selection of his brother Aldermen. `Not one single
fact had since been elicited 'to the injury of his cha-
racter; but still the old sore had been re-opened,
not for any useful purpose, but in order to awaken
dissensions which should have long since been buried
in oblivion.—(Hear, hear.) He knew not to what
that was to be attributed, unless it were owing to the
fearless discharge of his public duties, and to his
having compelled the performance of an act of justice
Which, though tardy in its operation, had procured for
him an inheritance of persecution.—(Hear, hear.) If
that were the reward which a public Magistrate were
to meet with, he knew not how character could be
secure, or public property could be protected, unless
by falling hack on the Livery, or the constituent
body whose approbation he then solicited.—(Cheers.)
lie was, like all men, assailable in public.
All he asked for was a fair investigation
into his conduct. He stood before them for that pur-
pose. He had asked the Court of Aldermen what
were the charges against him ; and when had he re-
ceived an answer ? Why, yesterday, for the first
time. And what was the amount of the charge ? It
was this : that, in common with many other persons
injured by public Companies, he had been misled and
misguided by a public Company. It had been as-
sorted, that, as a Director of the Talacre Coal Corn-
pany,
he had produced as the coal of the Company
coal of a different mine. To that assertion he gave
an unqualified and unhesitating contradiction.
(Cbcers.) It was as base a falsehood, fabricated for
purposes of malignity, as human ingenuity had ever
invented • to prejudice the character of a public man.
He had been formerly prevented, by a feeling of be-
nevolence, and by the advice of others, from making
known the position in which he stood. He now
called upon his accusers to find out one single
thing in connexion with the transaction in
question to which he would not be prepared
to give an immediate and satisfactory answer.—
(Cheers.) He did not think that was the place for
discussions of the kind ; but that was the place for the
appeal of an honest heart to honest men.—(Cheers.)
It was for them, judging without prejudice, un-
influenced by any sordid considerations to
decide upon his claims on their support
and approbation. There was another charge to which
he should allude. He should first state. that it bad
been made on him by one of his Aldermanic brethren.
—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Shame ")—he meant
Alderman Wilson.—(Cries of " Where is he ?") He
was not there that day; he had shrunk from stating
in public the charges which he was so ready to ad-
vance in private. Mr. Alderman Wilson had thought
fit to attack him on the ground of poverty. He never
had pretended to be rich; he had not been sent into
that Corporation to represent the rich; but he had
been sent there for the purpose of maintaining
the libertie3 and privileges of their City, and guarding
its interests. lie had been sent to discharge faith-
fully his duties as a Magistrate ; ar.d he appealed to
them, whether he had not, up to that moment, unex-
ceptionably performed the duties which devolved
upon him.—(Hear.) And if that was the case,
was he to be excluded from the office of their
Chief Magistrate, because he was
,not rich ?—(Hear,
hear.) Was the amount of weal,th to be the test of
civic worth ? And were persona qualifications to be
disregarded ? If that were to be so, merit would
be left at the mercy of money. Let them
see what the rich Magistrate might do.
He was sorry that the party he alluded to (Mr. Alder-
man Wilson) was not then present. But had they
not a Chief Magistrate spending large sums of money
in invitations not only to the citizens but
to his friends conferring his favours first
on his family and then on the public ? They had seen
the book of invitations lent to the secretary of a Com-
mittee appointed to collect for that Magistrate the sum
necessary for purchasing a piece of plate ; while every
one who had received an invitation was called upon to
subscribe his guinea. The secretary was to be
rewarded ; but that reward was to be paid by the
public, for the Chief Magistrate in question had
procured for the Secretary the situation of an Income-
tax Commissioner. That was the rich man who dared
to complain of his (Mr. Ald. T. Wood's) poverty,
That was the man who was so solicitous for the in-
dependence of the Mansion-house. He should then
leave himself entirely in their hands. He cared
not for the office of Lord Mayor on his own account; and
if they thought he was not fitted for discharging
its duties he did not wish for their support. All he
asked was that a man should not be judged before he
had been heard, that aspersions on his character
should not be believed until an opportunity
of answering them had been given. He
would tell them to remember that until a man was
found guilty, he should be held to be innocent.—
(Hear, hear.) He thanked them for the kind hearing
they had given, and lie hoped he should by and bye
address them in a new capacity.—(Much cheering.)
The COMMON SERGEANT then came forward, and
said All you good men of the Livery that would
have Thoiniks Wood, Esq., Alderman and framework
knitter; to be Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, will
hold up your hands.
Nearly three parts of the persons in the Hall held
up their hands amidst loud and prolonged cheering.
The COMMON SERGEANT then put the name of
John Lainson, Esq., Alderman and
,spectacle-maker,
the same manner, but there were only two hands
held, up,,
The name of John Humphery, Esq., Alderman and

tallow-chandler, was then put in the same manner,
and about half the meeting held up their hands.
The name of William Magnay, Esq., Alderman and
stationer, was then put, and about fifty hands were
held up.
The 'lame of William Gibbs, Esq., Alderman and
fishmonger, was then put, andabout fifty hands were
held up.
John Johnson, Esq., Alderman and spectacle-
maker, was then put, but no hand was held up.
The remaining Aldermen were then put in the same
manner.

The COMMON SERGEANT then came forward, and
said that the Sheriffs were of opinion that the elec-
tion had fallen on Thomas 'Wood, Esq , Alderman,
and framework-knitter, and John Humphery, Esq.,
Alderman, and tallow-chandler.

This announcement was received with deafening
shouts. No poll having been demanded,
The Sheriffs, Common Sergeant, and the other
officers, then returned to the Council-room in order to
report the election to the Court of Aldermen.
After an absence of half an hour,
Mr. Alderman T. WOOD entered the Hall, and was
received with loud cheers. The worthy Alderman
then came forward to the front of the platform, and
said that he had told them but just now that he should
shortly appear before them in a new capacity, and
he did then appear before them in a new capacity, not
as the selected, but as the rejected of the Court of
Aldermen.—(Cries of " Shame, shame.") He re-
turned the Livery his sincere thanks for the honour-
able support they had given him, and for the kindness
which he had received from one of the largest halls
ever assembled—(Cheers)—and that was a subject
for no trifling gratitude.—(Loud cheers.) Although
his brethren of the Court of Aldermen had not thought
fit to trust him with the civic rule for the '
ensuing year, yet he hoped by the faithful
discharge of his duties as a Magistrate, to
secure their approbation, and having secured that, he
cared little for any other consequences. (Loud
cheers.) lie hoped that day twelvemonths again
to solicit their kind support ; for while he
remained capable of wearing the gown he
would annually appear before them, rather for the
purpose of receiving their approbation—(Loud (leers)
—than for the sake of the office which had been re-
fused him.—("Shame, shame.") Nothing could efface
from his heart the impression produced by the appro-
bation of the Livery, and thanking them cordially for
the confidence they had been willing to repose in him,
he, for the present year, bade them farewell.
Alderman T. Wood then retired amidst loud cheers.
Immediately afterwards the Civic Officers returned
from the Court of Aldermen, Ald. Humphery as Lord
Mayor elect walking on the right of the Lord Mayor.
As soon as Alderman Ilumphery made his appear-
ance, he was received with loud cries of "Shame,
shame," mingled with faint cheers. On their arrival
on the platform,
The RECORDER came forward, and announced,
amidst great confusion, that the election had fallen on
John Ilumphery, Esq., Alderman and tallow-chandler.
Mr. Alderman HUMPIIERY then came forward to
address the meeting. He was received with some
-cheers, mingled with loud hisses and groans. The
hissing and groaning continued for a considerable
time, during which the worthy Alderman in
vain endeavoured to obtain a hearing. As soon
as the uproar had in some measure subsided,
he said if they would allow him one moment to ex-
plain to them the reason why he had takea upon him-
self the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London,
he was quite sure they would give him praise instead
of any hisses whatever.—(Cheers,) When he went
into the Court of Aldermen, his impression was that the
Court would elect Thomas Wood, Esq., Alderman.--
(Cheers, mingled with hisses.) The majority—the
great majority of that Court of Aldermen—had
thought proper to elect him (Mr. llumphery).
(Cheers, and groans.) There was was no man in
that hall who could feel the unenviable situation
in which he (Mr. Humphery) was placed by that
election.—(Uproar.) Mr. Ald. Wood was a friend of
his, and he felt that if he could in any way serve
him he would.—(Cheers.) But when he explained to
him, and when he explained to the Court of Alder-
men, what would be the result of his refusing to take
upon himself—for he was ready to pay the
fine, and ready to abide the result of a refusal, the re-
sult of that refusal to Mr. Wood would be, that he
would be again put up with one of the junior Alder-
men under him (Mr. Humphery). Every
one of those junior Aldermen were ready
and willing to take upon himself that
office'. lie (Mr. Humphery), therefore, felt that if
he allowed any junior Aldermen below him, who
was ready and willing to take on himself the
office, that he (Mr. Humphery) would be sinking
below them, which he thought he had no right to do.
If he could have paid the fine, and placed Mr. Alder-
man Wood in a position to be returned by the Court
of Aldermen, he would have done it.—(Cheers.) But
he was placed in that situation that it was
impossible Mr. Wood could be elected by a
majority of the Court of Aldermen. He was
therefore placed in an unenviable situation. A
number of his fellow-citizens found fault with
him for taking upon himself that office.—(Loud
cheers and groans.) lie was placed before the Court
of Aldermen, and he was selected by , them
by a large majority. If he could have resigned in
favour of Mr. Alderman Wood, he would have done it.
No man knew better than he did what popular elec-
tions were, and he should have felt much more gratified
if he had been elected by a majority of time Livery,
than he did in being elected by a majority of the
Court of Aldermen. There had been a
placard published calling upon the Liverymen
to vote for Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Alder-
moan Humphery. That had been done unknown
to him by the friends of Mr. Alderman
Wood. Their proper course would have been to
have put Mr. Alderman Wood with Mr. Lain-
son, and then Mr. Alderman Wood would have been
returned; as Mr. Alderman Lainson being incapable
of serving, the Court of Alderman would have had no
other course to pursue. They must not, therefore,
blame him (Mr. Humphery) for taking upon
himself the office, because if he had not
done so, Mr. Alderman Wood would have
been rejected, and a junior Alderman elected.
He, being thus elected, should endeavour, in the
situation to which he was called, to conduct
himself in a manner to give the utmost
satisfaction in his power. He would endeavour
to uphold the hospitality and independent cha-
racter of the Magistrates of their City while he
held office. Nothing upon earth would be wanting
upon his part to, maintain that character.
Ile should never express any political opinions
whatever while discharging his official duties.
He should endeavour to steer that course
that no man should know his political feelings
but by repute. He knew that it was a difficult
matter to please everybody. if Mr. Alderman Wood
could have been returned by his (Mr. ll.'s) vote, he'
would have had it. Having been returned, he thanked
them most sincerely for the honour, and respectfully
made his bow.—(Cheers.)
The Lerd Mayor elect, was then invested with the
" insignia of his office, amidst cheers and groans.
Mr. Deputy STEVENS then came forward to dis-
charge the agreeable duty of proposing, a vote of thanks
to the late Sheriffs, Messrs. Magnay and Rogers. He had
had the honour of proposing Mr. Rogers, and he would
appeal to the Livery whether what he had said on that
occasion had not been fully borne out by Mr. Rogers'
conduct.

11lr. Deputy BEDFORD seconded the motion
The motion was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. Alderman Magnay and Mr. Sheriff Rogers
then briefly returned thanks.
Mr. KING then came forward, and said that he had
to propose a vote of thanks to a gentleman to whom
thanks were justly due ; and if he wanted a prece-
dent for the vote he was about to propose, he
would refer them to the cases of Alderman Waith-'
man and Alderman Garrett, who had both served
them well and faithfully in the office of Lord Mayor.
So likewise had their present Lord Mayor;
and he richly deserved a similar compliment.
He knew it might be said that his Lordship's year
of service had not yet expired—that he had not yet
closed his accounts ; but the real question was, would
they thank him then, or would they not thank him
at all. That was the question, and he thought lie
knew enough of them to know that they would una-
nimously concur in the vote that he was about
to propose.—(Loud cheering.) Ile had atten-
tively observed the career of Sir John Pirie
as Alderman and Sheriff, and as Lord Mayor, and
he could confidently assert that although some might
have done as well, none had ever done better.
It might be possible that Sir John Pirie
might be eclipsed ; but if they never had
a worse Lord Mayor, they would do very well.
lie had always kept up the ancient fame of the
City for hospitality ; and one of the proudest charac-
teristics of his Mayoralty was that no one could tell
from his conduct in this office what his politics were.
—(Loud cheers.) The lion. Gentleman then pro-
posed that the thanks of the Livery be given to Sir
John Pirie for the splendid hospitality with
which he had maintained his exalted rank,
for his liberal contributions to the different charitable
institutions of the metropolis, and for his great atten-
tion to the discharge of the duties of his high of-
fice.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Deputy STEVENS seconded the motion. A
number of gentlemen there had thought that a vote
of thanks ought to be proposed to the Lord Mayor,
but no vote was drawn up,th and while the last
speaker had been addressingthe vote had been
drawn up, and when a vote coualrabe drawn up in such
a short time, they must have hle d
ject to enable them to do it. T a pretty good sub-
and Lady Pirie, and They all knew Sir John
that
a charitable institution there was not
which had not received their r.in metropolis
t the
rr,...ronaga and anpPort-
He lid great pleasure in seconding the motion,
' which he trusted would be coaled =willowy.

The vote was then read by the Town-Clerk, put,
and carried unanimously.
The LORD M.Avon, in returning thanks, said that.
he should not at that hour encroach at any-
length upon their time. He should merely
offer them his sincere acknowledgments for
the compliment which had been paid to
could assure them that in the discharge of his
.public:
duties the approbation of his fellow-citizens waL, the
only reward he desired.—(Cheers.)
The Hall was then dissolved,

MONEY MARIi.ET and CITY NEWS:

POST.—There was no news whatever frortl any
quarter to influence the value of the public seem. Sties,
and the quotations generally remain this even. 'ng
much the same as at the close of the markets yestei "•••
day. There was, perhaps, rather more inquiry for
temporary loans for Stock Exchange purposes. The
rate, however, at which accommodation is obtained
has varied but slightly, the range taken being from
3 to 4 per cent. per annum, on the deposit of stock.
In Lombard-street the terms are equally stationary.

the

niercantile houses, is at all pressing, which is the more
worthy of notice, as, from all accounts, the embarrass-
ments of the corn-trade are not diminished, but rather-
the reverse. Another failure in this branch of busi-
ness was whispered about yesterday, but it was not
one of any thing like equal' importance with those
that have preceded it, and the event was theretiwe for
the moment not publicly adverted to, especially as
there was a possibility of some satisfactory a je-
ment being effected between the insolvent firm audits
creditors. Of this, however, there would seem to be
no longer any prospect, and, as the name has been
openly announced in another quarter, we may men-
tion that the parties placed in difficulties are Alejsm.
W. Hills and Co.; the factors. The liabilities of the
firm are found to be from 40,0001. to 50,0001. Such
at least, is the estimate given of them by usually well-
informed persons, and there can be but little doubt of
its accuracy. The knowledge that the importations
of corn in the early part of the year were large, anti
.that the views of the speculators have been com-
pletely frustrated, in consequence of the abundance
and superior excellence of the crops at. home
this season, is, no doubt, a circumstance calculated
to add to the prevailing distrust of the Mark-lane
°pestles. Many of the factors must inevitably have
comeignder large advances to the shippers abroad,
nor can the fact have been concealed from the bankers
and others to whom they are accustomed to look for
money accommodation ; and this, it should be borne
in mind, is one of the evils inseparable from a state of
affairs like the present, when heavy engagements are
maturing in the face of an adverse position of the
markets. The factors who, in ordinary times, may
be entitled to every confidence, and a corresponding
latitude in the way of discounts, find, to their cost,
that they have ventured too far, and it is in vain that
they represent to their bankers the wide differencie
they feel to exist between the speculator and him who,
merely comes under the usual advances on the pro-
perty speculated in. The banker, for his own security,
insists upon the degree of responsibility involved in
the case of his customer as the principle to be adapted
for his guidance, and, in so insisting, it is clear lie
must be held to be blameless.
SUN.—The Funds closed, after a very few trifling
bargains, at the prices of yesterday. Consols 924 922
for Money, and 924 928 for the Account. India
Stock, 249 250; Exchequer Bills, New, 49 51 ; and
Old, 50 52 premium.
Foreign Securities, where a change occurred,
were higher. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 514
52; the Five per Cents., 102 1021; Belgian Bonds.
1024 103 4 ; Danish, 83 84; and Brazilian, 67 68.
Very few bargains were made in Mexican Bonds,
nevertheless quotations were not quite so good as yea-
terday, they being, nominally, 35 354.
The Share-market exhibited a greater degree of.
firmness, though prices did not materially vary..
London and Birmingham were 182 184 ; Birming-
ham and Gloucester, 39 41 Great Western, 81 B'2 ;
the Half Shares, 584 594 ; South Western, 571 58 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 22 224; Eastern Counties,
84 84 ; Northern and Eastern, 34 35 ; Blackwall,
64 7 ; and Brighton, 34 344- per share.
The quotations for the 13onds were—Colombian,
204 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16; Portuguese Five per
Cents.. 354 351; the Three per Cents., 21 '214 ;
Spanish Five per Cents., 154 164; the Three per
Cents., 204 214.
A singular contradiction in the money market has
been visible to-day, namely, a difficulty in employing
money at even a low rate of interest, and an equal
difficulty in procuring discounts. This has been oc-
casioned by a distrust of commercial paper, on account
of the late failures in the Corn Exchange, and the
probability that more may yet take place among specu-
lators. It was rumoured yesterday that a highly re-
spectable house was in difficulties, but which were not so
pressing but. that a private arrangement woul d probably
be effected. The indecent haste of two of our contempo-
raries one of which is notorious for the exhibition of a.
morbid appetite for failures, has prevented this, and it has
now to be announced that Messrs. King and slelville
have suspended their payments, this firm making the
fifth or sixth factor which has been compelled to take
a similar course since the operation of the new Corn-
law. It must be noted that these parties are not spe-
culators themselves, but have advanced to foreigners
beyond the extreme value of the cargoes consigned to
!hem fir sale, and it is to the fact that the pro-
ceeds have not been nearly sufficient to cover
the acceptances, that the failures are to be
attributed. The uncertainty as to the extent which
paper may be covered by security has led to much
caution on the part of the various discount-brokers,
'end to-day it was very difficult to obtain cash for bills,
though the identical houses which refused the ac-
commodation also refused to take money even at
two per cent. The total amount of the liabilities of
the particular house in question is stated to be ex-
tremely limited comparatively, while it shows, in
common with others similarly situated, ample assets.
Much disappointment has been felt at the post-
ponement of the discussion on the subject of the
Affghan war at the India House to-day, but it was
so:newhat mitigated by the pledge given by the mover
that it would be brought forward at the next General
Court, and the certainty that such pledge will be
redeemed.

After much opposition, the Directors of the West
India Mail Steam Packet Company obtained a con-
firmation of the Report, and consequently an approval
of the new route to be adopted by their vessels, the
first of which, upon the improved plan, will leave in
a few days for her destination. Now that the error
which has been committed in a too'great extension of
this line has been acknowledged, and is about to he
remedied, it might appear invidious to call attention
to the failures which have taken place ; it may, how-
ever be noted that the period of the year has passed in
which the want of regular correspondence has been;
more seriously felt, and that the next hornewaT
steamer, like all its predecessors, is now many days
over due.
