---- MIMS S 1497 Alderman G 7s.
The above were the numbers at the close ot Sump.
day's Poll; and they were announced amidst the.d.
plause of Otte patty and the disapprobation of tie
other.

Mr. Alderman SMITH and Mr. Alderman Aratio
then came forward and bowed to the Livery, pointed
to the Pell, and retired from the hustings, accompa.
cried by several friends.
Mr. WILLIAMS ascended the poU-desk in front of
the hustings, and attempted to address the Livery.
He was immediately assailed by groans and hisses.
Equally futile were the exertions Mr. HireuHis.
Mr. Wtwasts, notwithstanding the uproar, manifes-
ted a determination to hold his ground. All attempts
to be heard proved fruitless.
Mr. Sheriff ALDERSON then came forward, and was
received with applause. He addressed die Livery,
as follows t--1. Gentlemen of the Livery, placed
with my colleague in this high and important station
by your voice, we are determined to give a lair and
impartial hearing to ev4ry Liveryman i f evzry party.
(i/ji.p/aore.) TtlisGenzrelnan (pointin4 to :•Ir.

Whether he be (muted' toifror not, is not for the She.
Tiffs to determinefitstit•titkink if you give him a fair
and impartial hearirg;'yitu will be doing nothing bat
justice—(Alolatae.) I beg leave to assure yOu on
the part of my selt and my colleague, that it is our
wish all should obtain a patient heating. I must
here allude to a circumstance which occurred rester.
day : a Gentleman of high literary talents was poin-
ted our to me on the hustings, as being there for the
purpose of addressing the Livery. I thought it my
duty to inform the Gentleman, that no person had 4
right to addrest the Livery who was not one id its
body; and that it any person, not being a Member,
should address the Livery, it would become my duty
to interfere and prevent him. We are here invested
with authority. which we are bound to maintain ter
our fellow-citizens; and high PS the literary character
of the Gentleman was, standing here in the discharge
of my public duty, I did not conceive I *as called
upon to require an introduction to him under such
circumstances as these, or to waive in his patticular
Savour the high authotity enttusted to Inc and asy
colleagueby you. I shall therefore apply to the Edis
tor of the public Journals to set me right with. the
Public upon this subject, in order to prevent any pre.
judice against myself or my colleague, in cotisequenoe
of the sotement which has appeared in that and oda*
Papers this morning."
Mr. Wituama again made his appearance, but the
noise was ;pester than before.
Mr. HiteniNs in vain renewed his efforts, and the
Sheriffs, finding it to he an impossibility to obtain
order, adjourned. the hustings, and the crowd then
slowly separated.
The circumstance reapecting Mt. Phillips to which
the Sheriff alluded; is said to have originated in Ai
error of persons. The fret, we understand, was; he
Nies informed on .thetteidliegs that a Mr: Phillips, *
,'peon from Vilfer was not a Livery want,
had come prepisedt wirtike a long harangue, and
had fulled out of This portlier, and shewtt to several
persons a copy of-thblinfrich he meant to deliver.
The Sheriff, relying on this information, thought it
a more prudent course, With a view to avoid inter-.
firing when confusion might arise, as well as a mote
courteous one to the individual himself, to notify his
determination in the first instance: Unfortunately,
the Gentleman pointed out to the Sheriff was not de
Mr. Phillips who had come, as it was said, prepared
with the speech, but Mt. Phillips, the Irish barrister;
who had just arrived in town, and was 'attracted to
the hustings merely to hear Mr. Woofer. The mrs:
take originated in this manner.

BY W. CLARK, ESQ.

The glorious morn is up. Ten thousand spears
Flash back again to Heaven the light of day;
The 110 V, a moving sheet of flame appears,
As on their adiaut arm. the sunbe:rus play;
He who had even them marching on their way,
Had seen their banners waving to the sky,
Had heard e trimbrels , the trtntrets bray,
And viewed the syitit flashing in each eye,
Had turned a!sede his course, and sought with them to die 1

But Where is that sorrewipg lovely one ?
