ELECTION FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. The electicn of four persons to serve in the •ensuing Par liament as represent3tives of the City of London, commenced on Toemlay, and we believe a fuller atteetlance of liveryrben has net h.ru known on any former occasion. Sir W. Curtis was the first who came forwatil to address the livery. He observed that the constitution had again placed ro their hands the power of choosing their representatives, and they were now assembled for the purpose of executing that dory. He once more stood Wore them as a candidate for their suffrages, and was ready to state to them not only what he lied dune, but what lie intended to do. He had already served in Pia Parliaments as a representative of this great city, and now, when tie came befoi - e his con stituents to ask them to re-elect him, lie could tell them that he had discharged his duty tufty, fairly, and fear• 'evils.. If lie should be ref-haul', he assured /hem that he would pursue the sante course he had hitherto done. Alderman Hunter said, he intended to propose to them a gentleman, fre ~ his character, truly worthy of their suffrages ; and, from his e o uercial experience and connexions, in every way qualified to re, resent fur the crty those great interests which formed th • bulwark of the nation. Though that gam in:nu . did not himself hi long to the magistracy, he was of it Cluny which had °maim-it com.idi rable bemire in th e sii s.

Every liveryman had a right to consider well the character of a candidate, and it was ills duty to exercise that tight, He bad heard souse of those gentlemen speak of their love and veneration of the etinstitn.

They bad often heard it boasted of, that the right of petitioning was free and mainipxiired.— The House of Commons had,botvever, been crowded with petitions, complaining of grievous injuries, and praying for redress; yet a motion fur inquiry into the truth of those pe. titions had been refused. Would they again return those men to Parliament? A great many elections had come ander his I observation, but he had never known a candidate proposed before who bad not been a liveryman. A chandler's shop could not be opened without a license ; the members of the Common Council had many laborious and compulsory ditties to p‘: riot m ; yet notwithstanding all this, they were unworthy ui the houuur of representing theca; Abe livery had not, for sooth, talent enough among themselves, they must be indebted for protection to others. But they would,he trusted, depend upon themselves, and not delegate their representation to these who Mow for the finst time came upon their hustings, and who had lately been hustling through the city for a quali fication. Were the Corporation of Loudon, second to none in the kingdom, to Gave their interests thus upheld ? He had only.forther doeay, that is couuteractingiiittluence hail ever, and would now, be exerted against them. litifthe influence of public opinion was the only influence on which he de pended. Ifti prevent undue pressure and intimidation, he hoped the livery would poll early. Mr. Wilson neat addressed theilivery. In consequence of tho solicitations of a great number of respectable individuals, he had come forward to•olfer himself as a candidate for the representatiou of this great and nuciera icity.. He hoped he should nut be accused of ietruding, on the groniel that he did not belong to the corporation. He was convinced that to be a member of that body was not an essontial qualification, and that if he should he found in other irespects worthy of their choic e, they would not reject him on that deficiency.— He was at present necessarily little known to some that heard hint. Ail he could say was. that whatever trust might be reposed in bins, he would exert himself to the best of hi} ability in performing the duties which belonged to it. The show of hand* now commenced. All the Aldermen were, according to the usual practice, pot in nomination first ; and on the name of Alderman Shaw being put up, there was great applause. The show of hands for Sir William Curtis and Iderniau Atkins was less than for any of the other candi dates, and that for the latter was very inconsideratile. At last the City kteinembraucer, by older of the Sheriffs, dinelared mat the cimice of the Livery had fallen ou Mr. Waitliman, Alderman Wood, Alderman Thorp, and Mr. Willsoa.— This was the order in which, judging from the show of hands, the candidates appeared to be favoered by the Livery. A poll was then demanded for Sir William Corns and Al derman Atkins. At half past 4 the polleoramenced, and continued till half past 4 ; and was shortly after decler ed to stand as follows : Fsr Mr. Alderman Wood ... 176 For Mr. Wilson HO Mr. Waithman ... . ... ..... is 9 Alderman Sir W.Curiis - 94 Mr. Alderman Thorp ... 136 Mr. Alierniao Atkins •57 By thee .t appeared that Mr. Allerruau Ellett mad retired front the poll During the poll one of the poll clerks had put down a gen• •tlrman as having ro►ed for Mr. Aidt rtnao Wood, Mr. Watth. man, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Alderman Atkins, whet, the last name might to have b..en Mr. AlJeramn Thorp. A friend of the voter•oserlookiug the check elf' k, however, observed the mistake; the mater was investigated by the strerifi, and after Amur couveisation had passetl, it vas agreed that the Note should be taken hula the name of Mr. Alderman Atkins, and g.veu to that of Mr. Alderman Thorp, fur whom it had been originally iuteoded. WEDITESDAY. At the close of the poll this cii;.; , tWnumbers ware announced in the usual form maul appeared to be— For Alderman Wood 1047 For Alderman Thorp 773 Mr. Wilson 832 Sir W. Curtis 742 Mr. Waithman E4B Alderman Atartus 483 These numbers, when posted ,up, appeared to give satisfaction to the large concourse of people in the hall. 2'he candidates returned thanks to their friends, except Aldermen Curtis and Atkins, neither of whom could obtain a hearing. The populace drew Mr. Waithman to 'llia house in Bridge -street. THURSDAY. The crowd in zinc,' about Guildhall far exceeded these on the for-• •mer days. Numerous flags and placards were exhibitol, one of the latter of which. conspicuously displayed, bore the following inscrip t iorr: —•• To the admirers of Green Bags !—Mears. Curtis, Atkins, Ohm, Castles, and Co. will manufacture Green Bags at any moment the Ministers may direct." This was attached to a large green bag stuffed, suspended from the lop of a pole, and having upon the out aide a large red seal. About half-past 3 o'clock, the numbers were exhibited in the fol lowing order Wood 4175 Thorp 1599 Wilson 1837 Curtis Waithman 1741 Atkins 989 The Candidates then addressed the Livery in succession. but the two last were *mailed by such loud disapprobation, that they could not be heard.—Mours.

At - the Awe of the poll this day the numbers were 3:21 Curtis Wilson Waithman Aldermen Wood and Thom, Mr. Waithman and Mr. Wilson, severally returned thanks, and requested a continuance of the support of their friends. .......... Alderman Curtis made several attempts to address the Livery; but the noise in the pall undered whatever he said inaudible. At last the worthy baronet turned rouud, and pointing to the numbers on the poll, said, " Look there—look there—the poll speaks suffi ciently for me." Alderman Atkias next eime forward. but, after some ineffectual attempts to make himself beard, withdrew. ♦ few days since as a traveller was riding in St. Stephen's street, Norwich. he stopped his horse 'short, in consequence of a woman awing at the t,me ; the horse fell, and the rider was thrown.

Thermlay being the day fixed for the election, an immense crowd collet led in Covent.sarden at an early boor. The scaffolds erected in front of the hustings Were soon filled, and lung before the bout at which the proceedings a t re to commence, the space between the scaffold and the I: a:stings Vi MI completely occupied. Sir :%Inrray Maxwell's friends had hoisted a onion flag, and three ahP,'s ensigns, white, blue and red, on the acatfolds at the extremity, next King.stt yet. nearly opposite to the part of the buntings on which the gallant itinmst —...• . :zwards took his station. A few minutes after 3 o'clock, Mr. Hind, aceompamed by iris two sonatina scythe( friends, arrived in a barouch, amidst the hums of the popu lace, at the hustings. From the centre of the baroneh his red Hag was displayed. It bore the inscription " Universal suffrage," and was surmounted by the cap of liberty, round which was written "Henry Hunt and Liberty." Mr. Hoot having bowed repeatedly to his friends, took his station ora that part of the hustings adjoining Henrietta.street, and di rected his Hag to he affixed to one of the scaffolding poles opposite. Mr. Peter Walker, Mr. Cleary, and the friends of Major Carta right, soon after made their appearance. The friends of Sir Francis Burdett stationed themst Ives almost in the centre et the hustings. and by displaying placaids with the Hon. Baronet's name inscribed ou them, excited :inch cheering amongst the crowd. Shortly after this, Sir Murray Maxwell arrived, dressed is a full naval uniform, and was receised with a mixture of hisses sod groans. Mr. Snuck then earns forward and observed, that be lia4 been informed since he came on the hustings that he was to be the first person who should have the honour .of addressing the electors. It was nut ileitis own accormt he came forward, but to support a gentleman whom he felt it his duly to nowt nate, because he had lung heen their representative. He begged to congratulate them on the time basting arrived. when, in consequence of the gracious condeseeitsiou of his Majesty's Ministers, they were about to enjoy the advantage of exeicising their elective franchise. They had now the opportunity of electing their representatives, and it was their duty tosond into Parliament men who possessed know.• ledge and talents, and were distinguished for true constitu. I I principles. They would take care, lie hoped, not to send into Parliament men who had no object in going three but to provide for themselves and their families, lint such as would be the guardians of liberty and the terror otsvicketi ministers. With regal d to their late representatives, it was not necessary one of them of to make any obsei rations in the pospeet of a a return. That representative hail taken his leave of thew. and was :Mont to remove to a distant part of the world.— Their late representative, Sic Frances Burdett, was. however, still among them, and now they had the tight of again return. ing him to Parliament. itithey thought fit. With regard to any other catolida.e it became him to say little. As. that lio had ninlei taken to do was to recoil) 'tend their late illustrious representative, Sir Francis Burdett,once moreto their choice. He doubtless had his own opinions and psrtialities, perhaps his prejudices, with respect to the other eattdidates4 and he should only say, that for his own cart he had made op his das to his choice among the othr r t:a:nlitlatee. Who was so fit as Sir Samuel Romilly to be a colleague of Sir Francis Burdett? He had known the former gentleman long, and ad. wired his upright and able conduct in Parliament, and he should cestaildy aatetfor him. At present, however, all that remained for him to do, was to propose the nomination of Sir Francis Bur d ett to be egoist one of their representatives. . . Mr. Richardson, junior, acme forward to second this nomi nation. Ma. Peter Walker now stepped forward to propose Major Cartwright. He spoke with great vehement e and gesticu: latien. tie said he recommended the semi able Major, as the tried friend of universal suffrage and annual parliaments. Two factious had been long cos►ending, sepaintely, to sub vert the liberties of the people of liresiniinsser, and n..w it 4ppeared they had united to efe..l that object. The people had, by the rffortasof the corrupt and renal, been too loog•ex eluded from the right of sending Members to their own House. Bet :if Major Cartwright were elected, he would exert his utmost efforts to restore them to their longlost right. It was true, Major Cartwright was infirm ; but he would, by his ahilities,set millions of people to work, whose petitions could not be long unattended to. Lord Henry Howard recommended Sir Samuel Romilly to the electors as &statesman who was an honour to his country And bantam flatware. He bad been tried and never (mind wanting ; and no man was better capable of petformiug the &tits of a representative of the people, or more deter sss a l led to discharge them diligently and faithfully. Mr. Wishart seconded the nomination of Sir Samuel Ho milly. He observed that the learned gentleman aho was now nominated d d the warmest support of the electors, as be had always shown himself most anxioa•ao•have justice Administered according to law. He was the bfirst .and best of ..men, the constant advocate .of the interest of humanity, and .iss electing him - they would confer an honotor on them selves, and show that they ,properly estimated the virtues of the man of their choice. Mr. Glossop proposed the Hon. D. Kinnaird, a gentleman whose constitutional principles were well known, as a proper person to be nominated ou this occasion. Mr. Richardson, senior, presented himself to second the nomination of the Honourable Douglas Kinnaird. He had had the honour t. praise Lord Cochrane, fur the two last Par.. liatucnts ; he knew the saint of a brave seaman, as he b. I ikon one himself. (Hisses). If they chose Douglas Kinnaird.

He had Deter turned float an enemy : and after having sustained the cause of die country abroad, he now .wistied to maintain their rights at home. Mr. fAiriere seconded the nomination.
