The Lotto MAYOR immediately aftetwards stepped
forward, and was received with :helm of applause,
which continued for several minutes. When silence
was obtained, his Lordship observed, it was his,
anxious wish on this occasion to make every one hear,
and it possible to convey to the minds or every one
present an impression of what he felt. The Livery
had imposed upon him a debt of gratitude which he
feared it would never be in hid power to repay.—
(Applause ). It was a most pie:tine task for him to
come forweirdvn the 'present occasion, and acknow-,
ledge it; he bad klt the inclination to do it daily,
although he had refrained (tom doing so: but he
now felt the greater satisfaction in thanking them for
the svntanecus feeling of approbation they had ex-
pressol of his past conduct. He had only to say
that he had' endeavoured to discharge his duty by
adopting such regulations in the City as were con-
sistent e alb the liberties and rights of men—Applause.
He could net be insensible to the !narks of petsonal
attachment which had been shewn him en this occa
lion; but he was particularly anxious to express his
obligation to the numbers who, differing from him
. in politics, had now given him their support. Applause.
This circumstance, he trusted, was one which would
induce the Court of Aldermen not to resist what ap-
peared to be the general feeling of the Livery, btit
• that they would again send him back to the chair fur
another year. He defied any of his brother Alder-
men to say that he had, dining his Mayoralty. either
in act or in deed, dime what they load felt it nevelt
airy to complain of. With respect to Mr. Alderman
Senile he had the greatest respeCt for-him as a Ma-
gistrate. He was song to understand, from several
to tilers, that the worthy Alderman believed he had
not been ignorant of the opposition intended to be
made to his election. H: had before told the worthy
. Alderman, end he now begged again t 3 assure him
and tire Livety, that the first intimation he teceived
of any intention to rut him in nomination for ants.
th-r year, was from the worthy Alderman himself.
(Applause ) He was' piny the worthy Alderman
should be put back a year ; but as it appeared to be
the wish ,A the Lives's, to have his humble services
for another year, be would not refuse the honour
thus conferred upon him—(Applasues)—if the Court
of Aldermen should return liim. He certainly had"
looked tot ward to a year of repose and pleasure. after
one of great fatigue and labour ; but should they
-agent send him ba.k, he assured them his exertions
should be doubled so fc4 discharge the duties of his
office as to prove their confidence not misplaced.
(alpplaisre.; He would now, as his friends had done
from day to day, beg leave to disclaim ail party
feelings on the present occasion Some allusions had
'been made to eertain disappointment,} he was said to
have suffered. in the withholding from him titles and
honours. He could assure them he would rather
• live itt, the esteem of his fellow-citiiens, than enjoy
any honours which it was in the power of any person
to bestow—(.4pplaere.) With respect to those rho
had voted lor him on this occasion, he knew the
names of no one, having never looked once at the
books. He begged leave to return his thanks to
. every one without distinction of politics. It had
been his wish through the year to steer clear of all
party ; his table hid been open to all,- and he hoped
he had given i i all a li-arty welcome—(A/ tlaare.) I
Perhaps the Livery would think lie had lost his poli- I
tics; he begged leave to assure them' he had not
4one so. He truaed there never would be any altera-
tion seen in him, but that he should live and die the
friend of die people—(Loud aptlause.)
Mr. Alderin.inCuntsreenea Sloan then presented
himself, but lie was received- with loud cries of
" Os!" aid every s;mptom of-disapprobation ; and
it was not till after the Lord Mayor had required, ea
a-mark of personal favour to himself, that they would
hear the worthy Alderman, that he was pilfered to
proceed. Silence having in some degree been resto.
red, the Alderman observed. that be had now kept
ebe poll open the period prescribed by law, and had
afforded every Liveryman an opportunity Of declaring
his sentiments ; and he had to express. his gratitude
to all those friends who had tome forward in his
-support. Fle respected the Lord Mayor as much as
' any one could ,do; but his re-election was a point of
• too much importance to him for him to suffer it to
pass Without taking the teen of the Livery upon it.
He owed it to the Livery, to the country. and to
himself—(Applauses.) He had always endeavoured
conscientiously to discharge his duty towards the ,
Livery. He bad long been in habits of intimacy
with matiy—he respected all - and their privileges
were at dear to hilts as they could be to any utie.—
(Applause.) An Honourable Gentlemen had, in the
course of the contest said. he had question to pot
to him ; he trusted the Honourable Gentleman would
put it, and he did not fear but he should be able to
answer it. The-worthy Alderman then bowed, and
'setired amidst mingled hisses and applause'.
Mr. WHITE said, the moment had arrived when
their most anxious wishes had been accomplished.—
Their triumph was complete—a tritbinph -unmixed
with reflections of regret—a triumph of public opinion
and virtuous sentiment over private prejudice rind in-
decent passions—(loud applause) —a triumph, which

his again luifilliaghis high and honourable station,
therefore, they had but consulted the happiness and
the tecurity of the Community.—(Aftft/aere).—He
had heard it insinuated that the Court of Aldermen
Would not second the wishes of the Livery so incon-
testably expressed. Of this, however, he had no ap-
prehentioes ; and whatever might be the idle specu-
lations of that degraded party who had dragged their
late reluctant victim (Alderman Smith) beloce the
Corporation, he *as sure that that worthy Alderman

ing. The bigotry and anti-social qualities of the
party to -which he alluded, he was satisfied, would
not be found to exist in the Court of Aldermen as a'
body. The Court of Aldermen were too wise to put
themselves, thus at issue with the decided opinion of
the Livery. They knew better than to scatter the
firebrand over the city, and then to say they were in
spot t.—(Aftft/arr,r).— He could not suppose that that
honuuraale body would refuse to confirm the eke.
don. It had been said that one ground of objection
would be, that they had no right to elect an Alder-
man out of his rotation. lie would have them to
recollect, however, that although the Citizens had
suffered their right to slumber. yet the right of elec-
tion lay with them, and not with the Court of Al-
dermen. It was with the Livery 6 say whom they
would choose to have as their Chief Magiitrate ; and
it was not because for a time they had courteously'
waved their power to the Court of Aldermen, Altai
they therefore had not a right to reclaim it. These:
were times when the• feelings of the people were not
to be trifled with. It was politic to grant every wish
of their hearts which was not mischievous. Upon
this grornd he called upon the Court of Aldermen'
deeply to consider the propriety of obeying the public
voice ; and he sincerely hoped, when they all mat
again on Tuesday next, that they would confirm the
wishes of the Livery.—(Clierer).—Until then day ha

minded of his question to Alderman Christopher
Smith: he immediately returned, and declared that
this circumstance had escaped his recollection. He
*Ai extremely happy, however, in being able to give
'the worthy Alderman an opportunity of vindicating
himself, which he understood he would do. from an
imputation which had gone abroad against him.—lt
would be recollected that the Alderman had declared
that he had not been so much the tool of Ministers as
had been asserted s and that he had voted against
some obnoxious measures, among which was the Pro.
perty Tax. In answer to this latter assertion of the!
worthy Alderman, he (Mr. White), while on the'
Hustings on a former day. hkd received a letter.
tutting, that although the worthy Alderman hail
voted against the Property Tax in the House of Cons.
mom, yet that he had sat as the Chairman of a Meat.'
ins at the London Tavern, the object of which was
to petition for the renewal of that 'fax. This charge
was so serious, that he (Mr. White), with that open-
ness which had always chat acterizt:d his proccedingt.
felt it incumbent on him to apprise the worthy Al.
derman of its existence, when he was assured by him
diat the statement bad no foundation —a declaration
which he understood Alderman Smith was ready to
repeat that day. _ The letter stated, however, that
the writer could produce undoubted proof that the
worthy Alderman did meet a party to prepare such
a Petition as he had described, but that, as only SO
signatures could' be procured, they put the Petition'
in their pocket, and walked away--(Laghter).—The
question lie wished to as was, whether the worth,
Alderman attended that meeting or not ?—(Aftgasne)s
Mr.-Alderman SMITH came forward, and answer.

requested that the name of the person who had thus
calumniated him should be given up.—(Aftltlaure).—
The present contest being now at an end. he begged
leave to assure dumb there was not one amongst them,
whom he would nut serve if in his•power, and with
that feeling he bade them all farewell.—(Aftftkuse).
Mr. Witham stepped .foriTard, but' they would
nct hear him.

, Mr. thrums convatulated the Livery on the
triumph tl•ey had obtained, and expressed his hopes
that at the Common Hall, on Tuesday, they would
not ftiil to return thanks to Mr. White, who had stood
forward on this occaiinit so much to his own honour
and the advantage of the Livery—(dpplawe.) The
Hail then adjourned.

four years of age, and an infant in the cradle. The

the morning with the screams of the unfortunate de-
ceased, who was found lying on its back near the
door, with all its clothes in ti .mes. The neighbours
extinguished the fire: but the child aas so dread-
fully burnt over its whole body, that it languished
two hours, and-died at the London Hospital.. A
candle was found on the floor of the reum in which
the children were left; and it was supposed by the
parents, that the deceased had lighted the candle at
the kitchen fire, and thus occasioned the disaster, as
these was no tire in the apartment in which the chil-
dren were left. The parents were persons of good
character, bad resided in the neighbourhood for seve-
ral years, and were both is great Affliction. The.
Jury found a verdict of—Accidental Death.
On Friday evening an Inquisition arse taken at the
Middlesex Hospital, on the body of 'Mrs. Bower, of
No. 21, Fitzroy market, whose death was 'mused by.
the wanton conduct of several gentlemen's servants,
who knocked her down, when her head struck
against the curb-stone' which fractured her skull.—

and heard a great noise; be turned towards the place
from whence the noise proceeded, and saw the dc.

of Mr. Tyler. a stationer, who. with his wife, stood
at the door with a candle. She had a deep cut upon
her forehead; he saw two young men dressed in li-

the cause of her death.—The Coroner requested the
