CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

TUESDAY, JUNE 16,

FIRST DAY.

The election of four persons to serve in the ensuing Parliament as representatives of the City of London, commenced on Tuesday, and we believe a fuller attendance of liverymen has not been known on any former occasion. The beat of the weather had no effect in abating the ardour of curiosity excited by the novelty of the appearance of so many candidates for their favour. After the usual preparatory forms upon such occasions of this kind were gone through, the several Candidates came forward. They presented themselves in the following order :

Alderman Sir W. Curtis first addressed the Livery, and in soliciting a renewal of the honour so repeatedly conferred on him, manfully and honestly stated the independence of his principles, which induced him occasionally to vote with Ministers when he thought their measures wise and salutary, and occasionally to oppose them when he could not approve of what they proposed.

Alderman Atkins made a similar independent and constitutional profession.

Alderman Sir C. S. Hunter proposed Mr. Wilson as a fit and proper person to repre. sent the City of London, for his extreme commercial connexions and intimate knowledge of its true interests.

Mr. Alderman Wood then came forward and professed his attachment to the Constitution, and his determination to support measures of retrenchment and economy in the State,

fellow-citizens; but he by no means wished
to press himself forward on the present oc-
casion.

Mr. Alderman Thorp professed unaltera-
ble attachment to the principles of the Con-
stitution as delivered down to us by our
ancestors, and declared that he would always
be ready to obey the instructions of the
Livery; while he hoped he was not deficient
in the necessary qualifications for the Repre-
sentative of a great Commercial City.

Mr. Alderman Good behere proposed Mr. Waithman as a fit and proper person; which nomination was seconded by Mr. Favell.

Mr. Waithman felt much pride on the occasion, and made large professions of his determination to promote the true interests of the city.

Mr. Wilson addressed the Livery, and made the most becoming professions of his independence and attachment to the Constitution, and devotion to the interest of this Metropolis.

Mr. Rowcroft, in a few words, declined, for various reasons, offering himself on the present occasion.

After the nominations had concluded, the show of hands took place for the respective Candidates, and the Sheriffs declared the majority to be in favour of Messrs. Wood, Thorp, Waithman, and Wilson.

Mr. Birch having declined the contest, Sir William Curtis and Alderman Atkins demanded a Poll, which commenced at halfpast three, and closed at half-past four. At five o'clock the numbers were thus posted :

SEVENTH AND LAST DAY.

Mr. Alderman Birch next addressed the Livery in a neat speech. His principles were those of bonest independence; and if be were returned to Parliament he would endeavour to deserve the approbation of his Waithman ....4603

The friends of the several candidates took their stations on the hustings at nine o'clock. At ten the nomination of the candidates commenced.

Mr. Sturch presented himself to nominate their old and tried representative, Sir Francis Burdett. (some clamour.)

Mr. Peter Walker came forward to nominate the venerable Major Cartwright, the tried friend of Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments.

Lord Henry Molyneux Howard proposed as a candidate Sir Samuel Romilly. He could truly say, from long and constant observation of his conduct, that he was actuated by the pure constitutional principles which had so long endeared Mr. Fox to the citizens of Westminster.-Mr. Wishart seconded the nomination.

He

Sir Murray Maxwell presented himself amidst greeting from his friends, and cries of "Off! off!" from the multitude. said he believed he had the wishes of Mr. Hunt himself that he should be heard. He felt happy in telling them that his cause was truly popular in the hearts of the electors of Westminster.

Mr. Harley then nomiuated Mr. Hunt, in a short speech, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. Gale Jones.

The high bailiff having declared the shew of hands to be in favour of Sir Samuel Romilly and Mr. Hunt, a poll was demanded, which was closed for the day at four o'clock, when it stood as follows:

The Election of two representatives for this Borough in Parliament commenced on Thurday, June 18, and the crowd assembled on the occasion exceeded all former precedent. The Hustings were crowded to excess, and St. Margaret's hill was nearly impassable.

At half-past nine o'clock the High Bailiff, Mr. Princeps, appeared, and was sworn in.

The High Bailiff then called upon the Electors to manifest their choice of the Representatives by a show of hands, and Mr. Calvert being first announced, there was an almost universal show of hands in his favour, accompanied by the most vociferous applause. Mr. Barclay was the next put in rotation, and a few individuals held up their hands, and a mixture of applause, groans, and hisses followed. Sir Robert Wilson was then put, and the show of hands and the acclamations that followed it, were of the most noisy and universal description. A poll was then demanded by Mr. Young for Mr. Barclay. It commenced soon after twelve, and was carried on with great spirit till four, when the numbers were announced to be as follow:
