He then alluded to the desertion those friends at the election upon whose support he relied ; and eon, eluded by a pathetic farewell and a wish for the happiness of the sac, cessful eandi late. In the latter part of his address, he is said to hare appeared to be "much affected."

Sir. Meek attempted to address the Livery ; but he was received will, such uproar and confusion as to render it impassible for hint to says word. After standing for a few minutes on the platform, and finding that the uproar increased instead of diminished, he pointed signilleaatIr at the board, swayed his hat round three times, and disappeared auti4 loud hisses.

Mr. Deputy Stevens said be saw no cause for the opponents of Alder- man Harmer to triumph. as he had polled more of the Livery than the four Liberal Parliamentary representatives of the City had done at the lust election.

Mr. Richard Taylor condemned the opposition that had been male by Mr. Meek and his friends to Alderman Harmer under the cloak of religion. He gave the Alderman the character of being, "to the heart's core," an honest, good, kind man ; one of the most valuable of the City Magistrates; and a man not one hundredth part of' whose virtues are known.

The I.ivery then adjourned. Ott Wednesday, the Sheriffs and other City-officers went to Guildhall to cast up and flirmally announce the poll.

The Times states that inquiries have been instituted concerninsf frauds alleged to have been practised by some of Alderman Hartner's friends in the course of Tuesday. One person in whose name a vote was given, denies having been at the hall ; and two others are said to be uot on the Livery-lists.

The whole number of the Livery, recently registered as residing within seven miles, is 8,114. Of these a considerable number may be reckoned as dead, others absent, and some twice registered : a proper allowance on these grounds may leave about 7,000 to 7,300 to poll. Of these about 5,100 have actually polled, or nearly five-sevenths of the whole.
