Smith. 721.--Msjorl:y of Mr. Com* over Ml-. Smith, 4011.
In the Fauns et 641 day, Aldermen Atkiai and Ododbehere
got a vote or two oadt. '
" When thesnu others were placed on' the poll boards,
the same enthusiastic applause ensued as was mai-
fested yesterday. It was impossible for many mi-
nutes ;o beat any thing but the repented shouts of
—" Bravo I—Wood for ever I-off, off with Smith!
.No • turn-coats! —No -hirelings I—No Ministerial
tinse-serversr Whe; these cries partially subsided;
Alderman SMITH came forward and endeavoured to
address the Livery; but the popular dislike was so
strongly manifested by groans and hisses, that be•
was obliged to retire.
Mi. Woirathen came forward amidst universal
acclamations and observed,
,that be did not think it
necessary to trespass much on the time of the Livery.
—Their opinion in favour of
.the Lord Mayor had
been so strongly manifested by the state of the poll
that evening; that any thing which be could offer
would be unnecessary as a stimulus to their further
exertion.•_ lie could not, however' refrain from
making one or two remarks on a placard which he
had seen, put forth io the course of the morning by
Mr. Alderman Smith's friends. It contained a Sheer-
ing allusion to the partiality of the public in favour
of those men who bad distinguished themselves by
their exertions to do good. Ii alluded to a wish of
the people to have Ste Francis Burdett a member of
the Cabinet, Lord Cochrane at Spithead, and Mr.
Alderman Wood a perpetual Chief Magistrate. Now
although he (Mr. White) deprecated most strongly
the introduction of. politics into the present contest,
he cout.l not but follow the example which had been
thus set by Mr. Smith's friends. (Here the Gentle-
man went into a lengthened panegyric on the efficient.
services of Lord Cochrane while he was in commis-
sion). With regard to the services of the Lord
Mayor while he was in office, he observed, that it
was a most impolitic thing, on the part of Mr.
Smith's friends, to bring them into discussion, for
the more they were noticed, the greater must be the
share of public favour attached to his Lordship's
Mayorulty—( Load apieloare).—The Lord Mayor had
convinced even those who now wished, for their own
purposed. to deny the fact, that a • more active, a
more intelligent, or a more efficient Chief Magistrate
could not be selected from the whole Court of Al-
dernien—(Applaare).—Eviu the Worthy Alderman
(Smith) himself believed this; and he (Mr. White)
was convinced, that if that Gentleman hearkened to
his own better reason, and did not suffer himself to
be biassed by the dictates of others, he would, ere
now have come forward and given up the question
(Mar, Mar).--.But it was his misfortune, as it had
been that of many greater men, to be made the tool
of a piny. A party had goaded. on the Worthy
Alderman to the present contest for their own intr•
poses. They had, in the heat of their loyalty, con-
ceived that ao man was more proper to fill the Civic
Chair, than be who could hew to ,the will of the
ruling powers, and be the bumble servant of the
Minister of the day. Indeed as this was their opinion
of the merits of a Chief Magistrate, they were right
in endeavouring to exclude the present Lord Mayor,
for in the discharge of his official duties, he had not
been the political instrument of any placemao. •He
had not servilely stooped•to any man in power, and
had always carefully avoided the introduction of any
political opinions. . Had be chosen another course,
had he been the pliablesiestrument of ministerial po.
litics, had he stooped below his dignified station of
Chief' Magistrate of London, he might long before.
now have been honoured (if honoured it could be
called under such circumstances) with the rank of a
Baronet—(Load and militated aNdasse).—The Lord
Mayor had not chosen any of theie courses ; he took
the direction, in the discharge of his official duties,
which justice had pointed out, and that he had suc-
ceeded, the opinion of the Livery expressed by the.
item °, the poll, had fully proved—(Hsor, 4sar).—
He (Mr. White) would •Dot detain, his auditors by
commenting at *length on the conduct of Alderman
Smith's friends, for he thought it would not be fair'
to press harder on those-who had been already se
verely beaten—( Load aNdatiaw).—The state of the
poll on the present day gave him the most confident
hopes of his Lordship's ultimate success, and he was
'certain that those who opposed him now despaired of
the success of their project : but- as they ieemed de-
termined to go on with the poll for another day or
two, he hoped the Livery would come forward on
to.risorrow, and shew by their votes fur Wood and
Combe (and he begged again to impress the neces-
sity of Voting for both), that the further continuance
of the contest on the
sir of -Mr. Smith's friends
must "be useless—(4 o).—He should not then
trouble the Livery longer, but would take his leave
with this advice, that they should depart for their
homes, resolved'every man to use his utmost exertions
in bringing forward as many as he could oa the next-
day, to support their own cause, and the rights of
the people.—(This *beds was received with the most
enthusiastic acclamatiqns throughout the Hall).
Mel HITCIUNS nest came forward, and observed,
that be should not have obtruded himself on the
Meeting, were it not for a misrepresentation which
bad been industriously circulated by those who were
interested in its belief—that there was no such thing,
ever before beard of as a Lord Mayor serving the
office two years successively. He thought it his duty
to contradict this statement publicly; though be was
convinced, that, even were it true, it would not weigh
with those who wished foe the continuance of *e.
present active Chief. Magistrate. It was a Meng:

PUBLIC MEETING IN THE CITY OF
LONDON TAVERN. ,

•••••imgowo

4! .4.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Sebscribers and Friend*
of the Down's Society of Fishermen's friends, was
held. at the above Tavern. From the disagreeable
state of the-weather, the Meeting was far from being
so numerous as its importance merited( Soon after
two o'clock, the. LORD MAYOR took the Chair. He
regretted the pressure of business had preventedhim
from coming at the hour he had premised,` end he
still more regretted, that he could not possibly remain
during the whole of the Meeting. He was obliged
to go away almost immediately, as by an old statute
it was requisite he and the Slieciffs should put an end
to the hustings at three, and the Sheriffs, after so
dbitig, had to go to Carlton House. At the same
time; however, he had thought it his duty to attend,
that the Meeting might know his anxiety, as far as
he possibly could, to patronize every. institution cal-
culated tb promote the welfare, the happiness, and
the prosperity of his fellow creatures. At the present
unexampled period of puttic anguish, no man, who
tdathe common feelings of humanity, could stand
and indifferently behold the anguish of his
brethren. He forfeited every claim to the name of
man, where every wish, every desire, everrezer.
tine was not absorbed is the great object, viz.—their
instantaneous relief. It was on this ground the pre-
test institution particularly accorded with his own
feelings. It came home to his heart with the greater
influence, in consequence of its affording to our gal-
font Naval defenders, the means of hooourably earn-
iali their bread, and it had another powerful recom-
nsendation, viz. the tendency it would have, by
affording our defenders such-means, to prevent that
disgraceful, iniquitous, and ruinous system of smug-
Ong—a system which could not be too strosikly
&?recated. from its tendency-to diritinish the revenue
of the realm, and thereby add to. the already painful
burdens of the faithful subject, and also from its
generally involving in perdition and ignominy, the
unhappy persons who followed it. It-was a tact too
well known to require illustration, that the poor
smuggler had unhappily no share of those gains, the
fallacious prospect of which had seduced him from
his duty; en the contrary, his life often became the
sacrifice to his country's justly offended laws. In
therefore coming forward to support this infant in.
stitutioa, which had for its object the prevention of
such glaring immoralities, his Lordship thought it
his duty to state, that he bad learned with the 'great-
est astonishment and indignation, the conduct of the
oyster merchants in the city, respecting the valuable
bed of oysters lately found at Drover, and the iniqui-
tous measures they bad taken to prevent the prior
mechanic from thus enjoying what the particular
bounty of a gracious PROVIDINCII had secured for
him in the present scarcity. By the disgraceful
conduct of such fishmongers, the oysters formerly
selling at ss. per bushel, had been raised to 151. and;
ethers of them to 25 or 265. These persons might
depend he should sift.their conduct tia lb, bottom, as
heowas determined to give his fellow citizens and his
fellow creatures all the means they could possibly
enjoy of alleviating the present pressore of calamity.
04 this account he trusted the Institution would.
meet the approb itioll of the Citizens of London.—
For his own part, no exertion he Could make should
be "wanting to promote the Institution, and, by en-
abljng them to emplpy entry man they had it in
the power to engage,. is defeating the design such
an unnatural, wjcked, _and infamous combination
wit intended to accomplish. No man was more
anxious than himself to patronise any Society. what-
ever the politics or particular tenets of its members
might be, provided they directed all their energies to
public improvement, and the amelioration of public
morals and habits, but. at ;hewn' time he had as
strong an abhorrence for thom .who-could wish for
aggrandisement at the expense ot.their fellow mortals.

in prOduetive labor* in Cie fisheries had been mani.
Tested by the boatthen at Deal, not more than .one-
third a whotis.were now employed in hoVelling. It
was proposed also to fit out a herring buss, of seventy
total, after the Dutch manner, on board of which
those, herrings might be salted, which could not be
brought ashore with sufficient eipedition, in the bout
The accomplishment of these objects, however, must
in a great degree depend on the amount of the sup-
port receded. The subscriptions and donations al.
reedy eollected.did not exceed iftl,Soo ; but to tfrect
the objects proposed £5,000 would be requisite: But
the scheme was not one of a Merely charitable ha.;
titre; it held out a fair prospect of mercantile profit
to those who should become share-holders.
Seieral Resolutions were then proposed, *bic
were cordially agreed to. They generally expressed •
the high satisfaction of the Meeting at the formation
of the Society; and their determination to give it
support.
lAsid Gamine died spoke for a few minutes ott
the adientages likely td result from it to the public ;
and after a few observations from Mr. Alderman
ATKINS, respecting the bye-laws and regulations the
Society should form, particularly, the danger likely
to result to the Society from its Committee engaging
in any trade, instead of patronizing the most indus-
trious and cheapest mechanic, and also the danger
arising from giving a fixed bounty (which bounty;
be contended, should be regulated by the 'Market
price, not by ahy fixed rule), the Meeting adjourned.
A subscription was immediately commenced, and
teemed to promise much success to the Society..
