Had it not been for the prompt assist ance of the firemen, or had the fire happened during the night, the immense stock of spirits which Messrs.

Horse; which were, as usual, attended hy a gte•it portion of the beauty, rank, and fashion c , f the Me. tropolis. Among the diftinguislied personages Who honoured the Loan Mayon with their presence at dinner, were—the Duke of Somesterr, the Earl of MovNrroßu, Earl of Buz .11) A LISA NE, Lord LYN RD NCH, Lord NUGENT. the Dean of WaticitErrEa, Ste. in. The company sat down, at about six. o'clock, to a table covered with the delicacies of the season, and on which was displayed all the Magnificence of civic hospitality. When the cloth was removed, 11'oe nabis Demise, was sung in ercellent style by Messrs. Leers, &L. LAMY. PYNR, TYRRELL. BROADHURST. and TAYLOR. The first toast was— " Church and King," which was received with considerable applause. It was followed _ _ " The Prince Regent." but the approbation expressed by the company did not appear to be so strong as on yrafr occasions. " Ibe Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family," I he Duke of York aml the Army," And, " The Duke of Clarelico and the Navy," were drank with repeated cheers. The LORD MAYOR then rose and observed, that after the above toasts, a more proper time could not be chosen for it ceremony which would peculiarly gustily die company present—he meant the presenta tion of the Ft eedom and Sword voted by the City for the services t.f Lord LYNenocii. The Citamertitana and other OiEcers then ascend. ed the platform of the throve, which had been pre p.red at the time the Prince ReAent, the Emperor Alexander, and the King of Prussia dined in Guild hall. They were followed by Lord LYNEDOCH in full uniform, with his military decorations ; and the usual oath of freemen, to protect the I igltt and liber ties of the City, was administered. The freedom, in a gold box that had been m.tde fur the purpose, and the splendid sword that had li..ea toted at the vane time, were presented to the rtallant C:rneral, who, in a short address, expressed his gratitude, and des claimed any further merit in tke successes that were v thus rewarde.l, than that which helot:zed to every" warn and zea:cos soldier in the Lritish army. He accepted these weicom: presents, sir,t so much as re. s arcs that he lad merited > but as towards that he would endeavour to deserve. This speech was re. ceived with the loudest applause. After a vaiir:y of glees, songs, and the customary toasts, the health of the Lord M a yor an d L a d y , Mayoress were proposed by the Duke of Sostenssr. His Lordship expressed his pleasme at the presence of so many dills Iriends, as well as at the honour dons him by individuals of the highest rank, who had con. descended to gratify the City by their presence. He was aware th it his conduct upon recent occasions had been much blamed, hut most undeservedly, since he had only acted as became the important office he held. While in this responsible situation, he would never shrink from the duties that belonged to it, however unwelcome they might be to others, whom he fell generally inclined to support as the friends of the Con. stitution. But although lie had been unfavourable to the measure they had supported, he had always felt the utmost disgust at the mode in which resis tance was attempted to be given by public distur bances and flagrant outrages ; and he was happy to say that none of this misconduct had been exhibited within the populous district over which he presided. The opposition in the City of London had been stre nuous, but it had also been, as he hoped it always would be, constitutional. Great applause followed this address. Lord Nunaser, after a brief and Appropriate intro duction, proposed•the health of the Civil Officers of the City of London, which was received with warm acclamations. The Lotto MAYOR retired (the Ladies having rune time withdrawn) at about ten o'clock, atter iltiuking this concluding sentiment— " Union of sentiment and union of action—the boat and safe. guard of the "knish Luiptse." The dancing-commenced shortly after ten o'clock.
