friends, including those who, though unacquaiiited.
Alth him, had concurred in theiendeavours made to
place him in the elevated and most important situaL
tion in which he now stood. Through their great
exertions some important points not )hitherto practi-
cally recognized had been gained by his election. It
had long been custotribary to return for the represen-
tatives of this great metropolis, persons *lto *ere not
resident in the City ; and such were the professions'
and situations of some of these individuals, that it
might be' said the great body of the Livery was not
at all represented by them. There was no interest;
however, which ought not to be attended to in Par-
liament. The commercial and shipping interests of
the City were doubtless entitled to every nttentien ;
bat it ought to be recollected that these were numez
rous and powerful bOdiei. They had their CM-limit-
tees. which frequently assembled and trek- care of
their interests. There were besides a number of Mem-
bers of Parliament belonging to these bodies, and
they were in every respect a match for the Minister
of the day ; but with regard to the great body of
shopkeepers and traders, it was plain that they had
been placed in a very dillinent situation; and had'
many difficulties to contend with. There was noin-
dividual of their class in Parliament, and none there-
fore who could be supposed to have a common sym-
pathy with them, or, strictly speaking, to represent
their interests. He was far from wishing to make
invidious distinctions, or from supposing that oae
class of persons ought to be the peculiar object of his
attention in Parliament more than another. Ile
would :vas nd to the interests of all as far as his
health and capacity would permit ; but he never
could forget that he was, he believed, the first be-
longing to the class of traders who had ever been
placed in the situation of a Repri.•Jentative of the
City. It would have been easy for him to have as-
sumed the name of merchant. Ile might have taken
a little counting-house at £.lO a-year, and thus have
very easily converted himself into a merchant. But
had he been inclined to quit btisiness, he would not
have done it while he had in view to come forward
as a Candidate an their hustings ; for he wished to
fight the battle of the Livery on the ground. he had
taken, or none—(applanse). He was determined to
see whether they would still look abroad for their
Representatives, or were determined to choose one
out of their own body. It had always been a great
object with him to raise the political character of the
City in the public estimation. It had ever been his
wish to uphold the character of the Corporation of
London. It was of great importance that there thould
be men of high character and large property in the
Representative Body of the Corporation, and in this
respect it was acknowledged they had of late made
great advances. Oa this consideration, it had been
another piece of pride with him, that he should be
the first Member of the Common Council, belonging
to that body only,. who should be chosen.to represent
the City in Parliament. He hoped that this event
would have the effect of inducing persons of talents
and reputation to go into the Common Council,
whereby that body would be rendered still more re-
spectable, and through it the character of the City
itself elevated in the eyes of the country. With re-
spect to the events of the Election, he was not dis-
posed to recur to them for any invidious purpose, be-
cause, whatever the conduct of certain individuals
might have been, he did not wish by any sevet :ty of
comment to aggravate the vexation they must now
feel from their defeat. He could not, however. forget
what had happened at the end of the former Election,
when they expressed such exultation on account of
the different result of that contest. That result was,
represented as a most signal defeat of the kierria-
gogues. Nothing could exceed their exeltat;on
his failure. In return, he should leave then;

strength of the poll, and the unanimity of sfitit 4,iat
had been displayed, would cause that election to be
looked on for ever as a triumph, because it had
proved the value of those principles of liberty and
independence which had been displayed to be felt
by the Citizens of London. Ile hoped thoSe prim
ciples, and the result of the contest, would ,be 3-2-
echoed through the country, and prove what were
the true sentianents of the People. When he had first
offered hiniself, he had made a pledge of his princi-
ples and intentions, to which he should atsTiqs stand,
and on which he should never cease to stct—(44c-
pleruse ). lie had to return his thanks to Was* wor-
thy friends who had taken up his cause early in the
contest, as well as most sincerely to thank those
Gentlernea who had come forward so nobly and
handsomely, and who had with such success a!terM
the fate of the election. He accepted from them
with gratitude the sacred trust they had reposed in
him. He should always art according to the firmest
principles of independence; if he should ever err,
his errors would be those of the head, and not of the
heart ; and he should always exert himself to pro-
mote their interest and welfare—(applause). When-
ever he rendered hack the trust to them, he hoped
they would receive it without abuse, and uninjured
from his hands—arreat applause).
Mr. OLDHAM said, he wished to propose a vote of
thanks en their late Representative, Sir James Shaw.
Though he differed from him on many great points,
yet on account of his having opposed the suspension
Act alone, he was, he thought, entitled to the thanks
of the Livery of London. Rut still more did he de-
' serve them for his firm, manly, and constitutional
support of the privileges of the City, and for having
stood up in vindication of its rights, even at the risk
of his life. The !.onourable manner in which lie re-
tired from the:contest, at Well as his conduct on all
occasions, would, he doubted not, procure their con.
currence to the proposition. Mr. Oldham then moved
the thanks of. the Ilan to Sir James Shaw, for his
conduct in Parliament, and the honourable manner
in which he had withdrawn himself on the present
election.—The motion was carried unanimously.
, Mr. FAVELL then moved the thanks to the Sheriffs
for their contlnct during the election.
Mr. WILSON (brother to the Member) seconded
the motion, and observed, that the candour and ur-
banity of manners shewn by the Sheriffs had given
universal satisfaction.

•

The motidn was carried unanimously.
Mr. Sheriff DESANGES said, it had always given
him the greatest pleasure to do every thing in his
power towards properly fulfilling the duties of the
office he had accepted, and he thoughr the onl,
praise-worthy line of conduct '
duties in a manner conformable
Citizens—(applause).
