aldressed myself to you at preant;had Inot thought
it necessary to state, that I am not a candidate for
your T.-presentation, nor do I think that any person
.rmuld move, second, support me, if I WAS ; hut,
ss a Magistrate of this Ci. V, I claim the right to offer
myself, and to be heard, it I should think proper, on
any fame occasion. lam not going ro discuss the
r.prtety or impropriety of the Resolutions respecting
Mr. Alderman Combe, although I am of opinion that
err Resointion which occasioned the application to
t),at Gentleman was not respectful. 1 am, however,
happy to contradict the opinion which has gone
xhroad that nor Chief Magistrate had my idea of
the Resolutions proposed by Mr. Hunt, for I believe
he thought it improper that any such Resolution
eintild have been entered into at the time.
Gentlemen, I am in your hands. When it is
rnr pleasure to call For my services you shall have
than—( Number: exclaimed, No, no! we d noi wane yea.)
; 3rn now before you as an Alderman of the City
,f London ; let me, however, he placed in what-
situ Irian I may, I shall never constrit to a vote
Lkely to pre-re prejudicial to your interests."
Mr. WA iTiTMAN then came forward, and was loudly
ch!ered.—" I hope, Gentlemen, that at this time of
the Jay I shall not be thought to have obtruded my-
self before you on such an occasion ; but it the wor-
thy Alderman who spoke last thought he had some
plea to address you, you will, I hope, consider that I
have also some feast n for mine. The worthy Al-
derman (lievcaTs:) in the course of that speech,
if he had thought proper, could have told you of the
great services, and the great questions respecting pub.
lit liberty, which hb hai either performed or sup-1
ported ; but it he has thought proper to pass them
over, there is no reason why I should bring them
forward. Gentlemen, if I was to enumerate my poor
services rendered to my fellow-citizens for twenty-
five years, I should be undeserving of your attention
—my reward has been ample in the reward I have
to &lien experienced, of your approbation, shewn
most conspicuously. Gentlemen, when I last offered
p.p.:if to your notice, I had on that occasion, up.
wads of 2,600 independent votes ; and I was then,
as now, actuated by the purest spirit of public free-
eurn. My opinions have coincided with that of my
friends, and prevented my coming forward on this
occasion. I ha've considered that it would be only
splitting the popular opinion ; not my votes but the
Lord Mayor's votes, and thereby open the door to a
foliniiterial candidate. I have never valued a seat in
that House any more than as it would be a substan-
tial proof of your opinion and approbation. I do
hope, however, on this occasion, your universal suf-
frage will be for the Lord Mayor."
His Lordship was then proposed as a fit and pro-
m person to represent the City in Parliament, and
the.shew of hands was universal, not a single voice
or hand being heard or seen in opposition, although
was one of the fullest Halls remembered for many
ytts—there could not be less than 3000 persons.
The different Aldermen were afterwards, according
to custom, put in nomination, and received applause
cr disappreration, according to the estimation in
which they were respectively held
The Sificittrts then declared the LORD MAYOR (Icily
returned to Parliament, and his Lordship shortly re-
tuned thanks for the honour conferred.

G6NTLEMEN OF Ma LIIMIY-4 have before
stated to you that I thought professions were unne-
usury ; I am now placed in the high station I have
aspired to, and which I ham hoprifes GOPieterir
years to attain: I. have never acted contrary to the
interests of public freedom—l have never swerved
nor ever will swerve from, the conduct which has se-
cured me your support. I will maintain the interests
cf yourselves individually, as well as that of the whole
City at large."
Thanks were voted to Mr. WAITHM4I4 for with-
drawing his chsinss ; and to Alderman Cosrua for his
past services.—:The Conrt then adjourned.
