ritist say, that if he was susceptible of any emotion of

pability of rendering any degtbe of credit to their choice,
therw'was no earthly consideration more calculated to
raise his pride and stimulate his best exertions than the
decisive confidence of that great Ward.' He could not

markt of esteem aad politeness. It was well known'
that there had been great mismanagement of the city
funds, and this had been admitted by some members of
the Corporation. They had acknowledged that Viey,
were a corrupt body—(Hear, hear !) His only abject.
therefore, in offering himself as a member of the Tittle
City Parliament (laughter), was to purge the stains
which attached to that great body, which was composed
of the most respectable individuals. He bad in his band

He bad not, however, suffered soy thing which Would

then read some documents, relative to the sale of the

taken to check so great and so growing an evil; and,

Mr. .Deputy DAW addressed the aseeting.—He as.
stared them, that he felt as he ought .to feel, and was
grateful to them for having placed him so high upon
the poll. It convinced him, that after a twenty years'
servitude, he still retained the cooSdence of the inhabi-
tants :of the ward and that of his fellow citizens. He
mimed them that it should be an additiooal stimulus
to him if possible to greater exertions, and to devote as
much of hiitime is he could to their service. He felt
that be was.placed in a most ostensible situation—he
was Chairman of the Commitme ot •Srwers, the duties
of which were of the utmost importance. He had last
sear devoted to that duty no leis than 75 whole days
out of the 555.

Mr. OLDHAM said, if the worthy deputy who had ad-
dressed them had reason to congratulate himself upon
the 'situation in u hick he was placed on the poll. how
much more ought he to be grateful to them for placing
him where I e was—second best—(Cheers): To the
worthy deputy there he would yield; but he would
Itid•to no roan in the ecercise.of the little talent he
possissed for the benefit of his constituents. Whets he
came first among them, he came amongst them as an
independent man, and that independeete had ever ac-
companied him through his career. Every public man
was to be judged Of by his public conduct. He was at
all times open to that teu; and when bis public conduct
became such as the inhabitants of that ward could not
approve, he assured them that he would retire from
public life altogether—(Repeated cheers).
Mr. Dunersrr returned his grateful thanks to the
Wardsnote for having returned him for the 19th time.
Mr. KELLY (ea-Sheriff,) assured the meeting that
he felt most grateful for the distingu;shed honour
that had been conferred upon him, by his being
placed
.5o high on the list of the poll. It had always
teen his endeavour to study the local interests of the'
ward and to protect them, which be ever should do.—'
Indeed he felt the greater pride and pleasure in so doing,:
for it was in the place in which be bad resided from his
infancy. He was placed by them in a situation to have
to perform another duty,—that of one of the inquest of'
the ward; and his brethren had been pleased re make,
choice of him as their foreman: in that capacity he'

was a subject to which he begged leave particularly to
