The election of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing took place on Saturday, at a Common Hall. Alderman Wilson and Sir Chapman Marshall were returned by the Livery to the Court of Aldermen; who, according to custom, declared the first-named candidate Lord Mayor elect. Alderman Wilson said, that the Livery found it now a difficult matter to say what his politics were, and he hoped that at the end of the year they would have the same difficulty. Thanks were voted to the late Sheriffs, Sir George Carroll and Sir Moses Montefiore ; and the Common Hall was then dissolved.
