The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Lord Mayorl
Elect, and congratulated his fellow citizens on the absence
of all party feeling which had marked his election. and
which afforded the beat security for the due administration
of the duties of his important office.
Mr. Alit. WAITHMAN returned thanks. He was sensible
of the importance of the office to which he had been elected,
and in fulfilling its duties he should endeavour to redeem
the pledge which he had riven at his election. While, on
the one hand, he was determined to give every facility to
line discussion, which he considered the best and most in-
valuable privilege of a free country; he would suffer no
political opinions of his own to interfere with the discharge.
of his public duties. (applause.) CATlTlMOST,SRPT.3o.—Edreard6reneille BrOtene, who
