would be a suiScient apology fbr his having disturbed
the business of the day, and concluded by again call-
ing upon his infamous traducer to step forward upon
the hustings and avow himself.
This speech was received with acclamatibns:
After a very active polling; the.hooks were doled,
precisely at three, but it was. near four o'clock before
the Sheriffs were able to cast up the sum of the vo-
ters. The crowd in the Hall began to be very impa-
tient, and shetted the utmost anxiety, when the usual
officer began to post up the names and numbers.
They were as follows:
Pbr Mr. Alderman Wood en 75 For Mr. Alderman Thorpi 599
Mr. Wilson 1837 Aid. Sir W. Cuttis...ls97
Mr. Waitlinum Mr. Alderman Atkins 998
The crowd gave the loudest tokens of approbation
at the success of the four hrst,names, Sut received
the two last with hisses and hoJtings.

Mr. Alderman WOOD then came forward amidst
shouts of applause that lasted for two or three mi...
mites. When at last he obtained is hearing, it ap-
peared that he was very hoarse: he said, however,
that though he had now lost his voice in their cause,
he was sure that they would all feel, that shouldhe
be returned to a seat in the House of Commons, he
would soon find his voice in defence of their rights
and liberties (Great applause). He was proudly dis-
tinguished on the poll, but he must still beg them
not to relax, but use all their exertions to keep him
where he was. Their cause and his was one ;he had
no interest independent of theirs ; and he hoped, by
their early attendance to-morrow, they would skew
their anxiety to make their cause triumph (Applasse).
Mr. WILSON then came forward, and was hailed
with the most onequivo'cal marks of favour.—" Gen-
tlemen of the Livery, the flattering situation in
which your votes have placed me, demands the war-
mest expressions of my gratitude. It would indeed
be presumption in me to attribute this proud distinc-
tion to my own merit ; I have not yet been tried. I
therefore owe my present elevation to the kind par-
tiality of my friends, and, for the future, I trust the
time is not far distant when I shall be enabled to re-
deem the pledge I have, on this occasion, given--
(Loud applau.,e,)—in employing to the best of my
judgment every means within my power for the
maintenance of your rights and privileges—(Loud
applause.)—What I have addressed to you from this
place, may perhaps be of little importance, but, little
as it is, I ani desirous of not being misunderstood. I
stated to you yesterday, that I was connected with no
party, and stood singly upon the principle of inde-
' pendence. This I meant with reference to the parties
that stand on the hustings, but I was represented as
having spoken it with reference to the parties in the
State. I again thank you sincerely for your favour, and
only beg of you to continue your exertions."
Mr. WAITIIMAN stepped forward, and, as before,
the burst of applause was so long and loud, that some
minutes elapsed before he could be heard. Silence
being restored, he thanked the Livery most heartily
for the exalted situation they had given him on the
day's poll. He then alluded to an attempt made to
injure him, by a base and infamous placard or hand-
bill, containing the most vile and detestable false-
hoods, as before stated. He observed, that when he
was a Candidate a few years since, he received the
votes of '2600 independent Liverymen. The poll on
this occasion had continued but three days, and he
had polled within that time 600 names beyond those
he gained in the same time in the first contest (cheers),
He entreated them, however, to unite their strength
and influence in continuing their favours.
Mr. Alderman TIIORP was received with much
applause. He thanked them znost sincerely for their
kind and powerful exertions in his favour, and en-
treated them to stand firm in his cause, which was
that of independence—(applause).
Alderman Sir W. CURTIS, after remaining for ten
minutes exposed to the angry storm of the multitude,
was at length heard to say, that he had no doubt he
should stand still higher upon the poll, and beat his
opponents.
Mr. Alderman Aricists was also assailed by loud
disapprobation, and could only be understood that
he spake of the entire confidence he still entertained
,1 of success.

The multitude, at the close of the poll, notwith-
standing the counter exertions of the parties them-
selves, got hold of Messrs. WOOD and WAITIIMAN,
and drew them in their carriages, the former to
South Audley-street, and the latter to the house of
Mr. limicostne, St. Paul's Church-yard.
