"ELECT JON OF LORD MATOR.

Yesterday being Michaelmas Dalt,' a Common
Hall was held at Guildhall, for the Election of LORD
MAYOR for the year ensuing. Previous to the Elec:
tion taking place, the Lord Mayer, Aldermen, Ice.
proceeded to St. Lawrence's Church, where an ap.
propriate sermon was preached.by the LORD MAYOR'S
Chaplain : and Icing returned to the Hall, the RE-
CORDER opened. the business, by expatiating on the
duties of the Livery, who were assembled for the pure.
pose of choosing two persons to be returned to the
Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, for their choice
of one of them. The LORD MAYOR and Aldermen
then retired into their own chamber.. The names of
the several persons who were eligible by having ser-
ved the Office of Sheriff were then put up, when Al-
dermen SCIIOLEY and Do:dulls were declared to
have the greatest shew of hands, which being report-
ed to the court of Aldermen, they thereupon entered
inn a scrutiny, and declared the election to have
fallen upon GEORGE SCHOLEY, Esq. who was decla-
red duly elected accordingly, which was received
with great applause. Alderman SCIIOLEY then came
fez ward. He begged to return his most sincere and
grateful acknowledgments for the high and dignified
honour which had that day been conferred upon him.
He felt proud in having the opportunity afforded
him of appearing before that tribunal—before that
Jury to whom his past conduct had at all times been
exposed, and who had already expressed their opinion
of his principles by unanimously electing him their
Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. This waset mark
ofpublic satisfaction and approbation which .should
never, by him, be forgotten, and which should be in-
delibly written on his heart. Of all the various wants
of public men, he was at least enabled to state that
he did not Avant a seat in. Parliament, a title, a place,
or a petoion.—(Applause.)—All he wanted was the
means of supporting die true dignity of a British
tnerchant, and he was happy that an opportunity was
now afforded him of manifesting his gratitude for
the blessing he had obtained under the well-regula-
ted commerce of the greatest metropolis in the world. ,
—(Anitlau:e.)---The worthy Alderman, in conclu.
sion, declared his firm devotion to the interests of the
City of London, and expressed his intention of per-
forming the important duty which would soon de.
yolve upon him, with the most conscientious feeling.
(Loud and reiterated iffttlauar.)
Mr. WADDINGTON attempted to address the Livery,
but could not obtain a hearing.
Thanks were Then voted to the late Sheriffs.

and, after an equal run of several miles, got a-head,
and leached the harbour not quite five minutes be-
fore her opponent. The crowd of spectators was
immense, and the match altogether afforded great
amusement. At first going off, the odds were five
to one in favour of the Wellington; but the nautical
skill displayed by Captain SicaNe, apparently was
the cause of the ultimate success of the Jessy,
