CITY or LONDON.—Atthe close of the
tertlay, at three o'clock, the numbers were—

Cnmhe 2AS I
St1;11V 1867 I Waithinab 11G6
Cot Us .2 173 Atkins 1711 Vi,,,ml
The Candidates then severally presented themselves
iv front of the Hustings.

Mr. Alderman CoMUE was received with loud
plaudits, but contented himself with making a bow
to the immense crowd collected in front, and re-
tired.

Sir W. CIAITIg Sir JAIMS W, and Alderman
ATKIN3, were received with hissing and other marks
of disapprobation, so as to render any attempt on
their part to be heard totally unavailing. This they
answered by pointing to the numbers on the Poll,
and then severally retired.
Mr. ‘VAITHMAN then came forward, introducing
to the Livery- his Son, who manifested a wish to ad-
dress them, but it was some time before silence could

Mr. WAttumws, jun. then addressed the Livery,
informing them that his Father being much indis-
posed, in consequence of a severe cold and hoarse-
tress which he had caught in the course of his canvass,
he (the Son) was desirous of saying a few words ie
his name. The state of the Poll was no doubt some-
what unfavourable, but yet it was by no means such
as induced his father to despond. Ile knew that he
had a vast number still to come forward in. his sup-
eoft ; hat he cnu!d not, like other Candidates, who
jellgic bodies to support them, compel them to
eono up to an early Poll. The majority which his
opponents had preeured on the Pull of to-day, con-
sisted of votes procured by interest. The votes on
the other 'nand on which he (Mr. Waithmau) de-
loaded, were voluntarily given, and the Electors •
niust come to give them at their own convenience.
—lle had no doubt, however, that they would
exert themselves, and if they did so, there was little
doubt that their exertions would be crowned with
success. C.4p flew.]
Mr. Aluerman WOOD then came forward, and was
received with loud acclamations. He was far from
being disheartened at the state of the Poll, unfa-
vourable as it might seem to be. He had carefully
watched who were the Electors who had already
come forward for his opponents, and he was happy
to be able to inform the Livery that they were gene-
rally of those descriptions which were under the
coutroul of particular interests. It was well known
that they must soon he exhausted ; indeed, that
they were already nearly exhausted. Why then
should the Independent Livery despair, when there
were still 9000 to Pull.

V. SOUTHW RK.-At the close of the Poll yesterday,
the numbers were as follow—
v. Calvert -172 t I Thornton - 14416 I Burdett - 593
After the numbers had beeu declared,
Mr. Tuottsruti addressed the Meeting, thanking
them for the exertions they had made in his favour. At
v. the dose of the roll yesterday he was 641 a-head of
Mr. Burdett, to-day he was 1013; in the last hour
v. he had polled 107, Mr. Burdett 28. According to
common calculation no prospect of success could re.
main for that Gentleman. His friends, however,
P. kad estraordiitary ideas as well as extraordinary po.
litics, and it was vain to expect any thing like coot-
.. mon sense iu their proceedings.
v. Mr. CtLVERT said if his speeches were as long
v.
v as those of modern orators, and filled with thanks,
v. they would ha no more than his friends deserved for
v• their kind support of him. When he was last be-
fore them he polled 1634 in five days, on the present
occasion he had 1721 in three days, and if the books
. should be kept open three days longer, he had no
v
v. doubt but he should double that number. He was con-
y- fident of success. He concluded by contradicting a
v. report, that he had formed a coalition with Mr.
Thornton.

Mr. /Common, on behalf of Mr. Burdett, ob-
served, it would not _be surprising to any one that
Mr:Thortiton should stand so high on the poll, when
they' were informed that the East India Directors had
given all their porters a holiday, and sent them to
vote for him [no such thin.,.; from Mr. Thornton] ;
but notwithstanding that, Mr. Burdett's ,Committee
had still hopes of success. A meeting, however,
would be hold this evening, to consult with those
who appointed then', and their determination would
also determine the mode of proceedini to be adopted
at the close of to-morrow's pol!.

A shocking circumstance took place on board the
Sampson prison-ship, lying at Gillingham, on Tues-
day, at Chatham. One of the prisoners in that ship,
an Italian, stabbed two of the marines doing duty
on board, one of whom is since dead, and the other,
it is thought, cassusot.recover. The °Candor was se-
cured.
