AT a WARDMOTE held on Friday, the 21st
December, 1821, at Bow Church, before the Right
Worshipful CHRISTOPHER SMITH, Esq. M.P. Alderman
of this Ward,

Yesterday being St. Thomas's Day, Wardmotes
were held in the different Wards of the City of Lon-
don, for the election of Common Councilmen, and
subordinate Officers for the ensuing year. In the ful- •
lowing Wards there was no alteration in their Mem-
bers :-Aldgate, Billingsgate, Broad-street, Candle-
wick, Cripplegate Without, Castle Baynard, Cord-
wainer's, Cornhill, Farringdon Without, and Vintry.
FARRINGDON WITHOUT.
In this Ward, which returns sixteen Members to
the Common Council, some opposition was expected ;
but Mr. ROWE, who had been nominated at the pre-
cinct of St. Dunstan's, in opposition to Mr. GA sso-
WAY, had addressed a letter to Alderman WAITH-
MAN, declining the honour of the appointment, and
the eld Members were accordingly re-elected.
Mr. Alderman WAITIIMA*I having opened the bu-
siness of the day in a short speech, in which lie ex-
patiated upon the importance of the privilege the
Meeting was that day called upon to exercise, and
recommended the election of persons, not merely of
respectability alone, but of intellect and integrity,
proceeded to read the names of the Candidates, as
returned by the respective precincts.
Mr. GaLLowAv's name not being in those returns,
Mr. THOMPSON rose to prceiose him, .nd com-
menced his speech by calling upon the Wordmote to
recollect what the Common Council was twenty-five
years ago, and the great alteration which had since
taken place in the condua of that Cow t. Twerty-
five years ago that Court was the vet y hot-bed of cor-
ruption, devoted to the service of a wicked Admi-
nistration; a mere " bed of justice," to register or
applaud the edicts of llinisters. That its proceed-
ingslad since assumed a more independent charac-
ter, he averred, was the consequence of the steady,
uniform, and zealous exertions of Mr. Alderman
Vaithman, and the independent support those exer-
tions had received by the inhabitants of that Ward.
It was, therefore, incumbent upon them to uphold
the fahrie of liberty that had been raised in the Com-
mon Council, which could only be effected by re-
turning, as Members to that Court, persons of known
and determined talents and integrity, especially at a-
moment when that fabric was more in danger than
ever it before had been, from the existence of a Wit- -
berforcian party, who, with religion in their mouths,
and malignity in their hearts,' were doing their utmost
to undermine it---(Lond applause).-They did not, in-
deed, openly avow themselves hostile to the liberty of
