TOWN COUNCIL - MONDAY, NOV. 10

ELECTION OF MAYOR

The MAYOR said that the law directed the Council to
proceed to the election of Mayor and Sheriff, previous to
entering upon any other business. Having now arrived
at the close of his Mayoralty, and retiring from that dis-
tinguished office, he begged to return his best thanks to
the Magistrates, Aldermen, Sheriff, and every member of
the Council, for the kind attention and courtesy which
he received at their hands on all occasions, and the readi-
ness with which they had given their assistance and
advice, which had rendered the duties of his office com-
paratively easy. The Mayor resumed his seat amid loud
approbation from all sides.
Mr. Alderman DRY, in a very complimentary speech,
proposed Mr. Alderman John THorp to succeed his brother
as chief Magistrate for the year ensuing. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Alderman SADLER said he had sincere pleasure in
seconding the nomination.
No other gentleman being put in nomination, the
MAYOR declared Alderman John Thorp duly elected to
the office of chief Magistrate for the year ensuing.
The Mayor elect then proceeded to the civic chair amid
the cheers and congratulations of the whole Council, and
said he begged to offer his grateful acknowledgements for
the honour they had conferred on him, in electing him to
succeed his brother in the honourable office of Mayor of
this city. He would endeavour to discharge the duties
of his office to the satisfaction of the Council and to the
interest of the city; no exertion should be wanting on impartiality to merit the confidence which they had been
pleased to repose in him. His first duty was to call on
the Council to proceed to the election of Sheriff, in the
room of Mr. Ward, who had so ably and impartially dis-
charged its duties during the past year. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Alderman SADLER said it afforded him great
pleasure in putting in nomination for the office of Sheriff
a gentleman who had been in the Council for many years,
and was highly respected by his fellow citizens. He
begged to nominate Mr. John Chaundy. (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman DRY seconded the nomination, and said
he fully concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Alder-
man Sadler, and felt assured that all he had said would
be fully confirmed and borne out by Mr. Chaundy in the
fulfilment of his office.
No other candidate being put in nomination, the Mayor
accordingly declared Mr. John Chaundy duly elected to
the office of Sheriff, Bailiff, and Conservator of the Free-
men's rights.
Mr. CHAUNDY was conducted to the Sheriff's seat, and
returned thanks. (Loud cheers.)

Newspaper Cutting THE SHERIFF' PARTY. - On Thursday last the Sheriff, Mr. J.
Chaundy, entertained the Mayor and Corporation, and a large
party of his friends, in the Town Hall. It has been customary
at this period of the year for the Sheriff, assisted by his officers,
to ascertain the number of cattle in Port Meadow, and to whom
they belonged, and this termed taking the drift, but the quantity
on the meadow at this time is so short that a drift was unneces-
sary, and consequently the entertainment that usually succeeded
at Godstow did not take place. The Sheriff, however, was not
disposed to dispense with the entertainment because there was
no drift, and considering that a cool glass of wine in the Town
HAll would be preferable to dragging his friends to Godstow,
issued invitations accordingly. The Sheriff presided, supported
by J.H. Langston, Esq. M.P. the present and late Mayor, most
of teh Aldermen, Councillors, and his private friends. All the
usual loyal and appropriate toasts were given and responded to
with due respect. On the health of the City Members being
given, Mr. Langston returned tahnks, and mentioned that it was
no longer a secret that Sir. R. Peel would resign office immedi-
ately he had carried the Corn Bill, and that he only retained
office for that express purpose; that Lord John Russell would
form an Administration, and finish the business of the Session as
expeditiously as possible. A dissolution would then take place,
and the Minister having propounded his measures would appeal
to the country, and take its sense upon them. Mr. L. expressed
his regret that Sir. R. Peel, who had no other object in view than
the good of his country, should meet night after night such un-
courteous treatment and abuse from those who differed with him.
He (Mr. L.) looked on the Corn Bill as a great and important
measure, and believing, as he did, that it would tend to the
prosperity of the country, and to every branch of industry, he
gave Sir. R. Peel great credit for bringing it forward, and for his
determination to carry it out. Mr. L. announced his intention
to solicit the suffrages of the electors of this city whenever a dis-
solution took place. - The evening was spent in a most agreeable
and social manner, and much credit is due to the Sheriff for the
kindness, hospitality, and courtesy which he displayed upon the
occasion.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

The present week has been marked by a good deal of bustle
and excitement consequent upon the annual municipal elections.
The first demonstration took place on MOnday evening last,
when the burgesses of the West Ward assembled in the Council
Chamber, under the presidency of Mr. Alderman Browning, to
receive from the retiring Councillors, Messrs. Albutt and
Green, an account of their stewardship, and hear the pretensions
of the rival candidate, Mr. John Chaundy, who retired from the
Council a few years ago, after having represented the Ward for
eleven years. The presiding Alderman having requested a patient
hearing for all parties, Mr. Brunner put in nomination Mr
Albutt, who was seconded by Mr. D. Curtis. Mr. I. Grubb
proposed Mr. C. Green, who was seconded by Mr. Towle; and
Mr. Brockliss nominated Mr. J. Chaundy, who was seconded
by Mr. Pattenden. The three candidates then addressed the
meeting, after which the Alderman took a show of hands, which
he declared to be in favour of Messrs. Green and Albutt. The
proceedings were conducted with great order and propriety, and
lasted from seven o'clock till nearly ten.
...
In the West Ward, the struggle was very severe, and excited
extraordinary interest; the candidates were the two retiring
Councillors (Mr. Albutt and Mr. C. Green) and Mr. J. Chaundy.
So strenuously did each party exert itself, that at the close the
numbers were - for Mr. Albutt, 212, Mr. Green, 212; Mr.
Chaundy, 211. - The position of parties in the Council is, there-
fore, but little affected by the result of these elections, the only
difference being a gain of one (Mr. Ringrose) on the Con-
servative side.
It appears that the last vote tendered in the West Ward for
Messrs. Green and Albutt, was given after the clock had struck
four, and consequently it ought not to have been received, but
the clamour outside was so great that the presiding Alderman
and Ward Assessors did not hear the clock strike, and were not
aware that it had done so. We understand that the return will
be disputed, and steps immediately taken to correct the error,
and strike off the votes of all who voted in more than one ward
at this election. So much excitement prevailed over tihs con-
test that the successful candidate, Mr. C. Green, accompanied
by a large number of persons, paraded the streets with a band
