...Li . L .. THE NATIONAL REGISTER 364 LORD MAIOR'S DAY. Thursday!morning, at cleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor elect, and the late Lord Mayor, uviller with the She riffs Waithinan and Williams, Alderman Wood, and several other Menibers of the Corporation, assembled at Guildhall, in their different robes of office ; the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs went in their state carriages, after taking breakfast in one of the private rooms. 'f he day was uncommonly fine and favourable for giving effect to the gorgeous display of civic grandeur, and the crowds that assembled to see the" Lord Mayor's Show," in va rious parts of the Metropolis were immense. At about ,half-past one they went on board their dif ferent state barges at Blackfriar's Bridge, The City barge was in waiting to receive the Lord Mayor. They proceeded up the river with colonts flying and music playing, and, from the fineness of the day, the aquatic procession made a beautiful appearance, the hanks, bridges, and stairs that commanded a view of the 'Jo cession, being crowded with spectators. On the arrival of the Companies in their respective barges at Old Pa lace Yard they landed and proceeded on foot to West minster Hall in the usual state ; they then went up to the Court of Exchequer, where the Lord Mayor was presented in due form. Having gone through the usual forms, they visited the several Courts of Law, and invited the Judges to dinner. The Procession returned by water to 'slack (vats', where they landed, and entered their carriages, and proceeded to Guildhall to dinner, accompanied by a long siring of carriages from the west end of the town, which joined them at the end of Fleet-market. The new Lord Mayor was cheered all the way, whilst the late Lord Mayor was hissed and hooted. The hor'es were taken from the carriage of Mr. Alderman \Vood in Bridge -street, and he was drawn by the people, amidst the hearty greetings of the immense crowds that were assembled along Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Church yard, Cheapside, to Guildhall. The pickpockets mus tered strong, and committed many depredations upon sitar unwary. THE DINNER. Guildhall, where Inc superb banquet was given, exhibited a display of heavy grandeur and city taste. It was laid out as on former occasion, but the glare of the innumerable gas lights rather fatigued than gratified the eye, while the heat was very oppressive. Every thing was in accordance to inquess the company with an idea of city wealth and English hospitality. The arrange ment of the tables was excellent to show off the dinner to advantage, and to 6ive full effect to the appropriate de vices represented in confectionary. The pride of the feast, the baron of beef and a stupendous plum pudding, were neither forgotten nor neglected. The eastern sec tion of the tables, which was elevated above the rest, was appointed for the accommodation of the most dis. tinginshed visitors, but neither the Ministers nor loreign Ambassadors were present. Political feeling probably prevented the former from partaking of the festivities of the day, and eliquelte occasioned the absence of several others.—The other tables were placed lengthways from east to west, decorated with temples, trinmphal arches, allegories of commerce, floc. military and naval trophies, and the inspiring names of British heroes. At the east end over the Lend Mayor's chair was a magnificent crown, which had a splendid effect. The pannels of the hustings were covered with crimson cloth, and the moulding along the Hall was hung with rich drapery. Bes'des the Hall, the Court of King's Bench and Coun cil Chamber were fitted tip in a corresponding manner. The herald and putsuivant, in their costume, stood on one side of the Hall, and the men in armour at the extreme end. About six o'clock, between six and seven hundred of both sexes sat down to a most excellent en- tertainment. A military band was stationed in the music gallery, which flayed several military and other tunes during dinner. fhe toasts after dinner were an nounced from the chair by sound of trumpet. The cloth being removed, several toasts were drank.— On the health of the Queen being given, the Hall resounded with acclamations. On the health of the Lord Mayor being drank, he reiutned thanks ia a neat anti appropriate speech. Other gentlemen returned thanks on their health being drank, and the glass passed merrily rottod. Independently of the grand festival at Guildhall, all the Companies gave entertainments at their respective Halls; and the day, on the whole, throughout the metropolis, was devoted to good eating and drinking. ILLUMINATIONS FOR THE QUEEN. On Ftidst evening, in consequence of the result of the Queen's case, there was a very general demonstra tion of popular feeling. At the approach of dusk, many of the inhabitants of the west end of the town, adorned the windows with festoons, candles, and lamps, &c. this also took place in the ileii4hbourbood of Tottetiltam-court.road; at the Blue Posts the landlord caused his house to be com pletely covered with flambeaux, and the windows with candles, winch were lighted tip at 'link, and die house at 1 distance appeared to be on lire; wen were stationed on the ledges with pots of porter, and links in their bands liuzzaing,.and their shouts were echoed Ly a vast asseniblJge of persons to the street. This example embed most of the inhabitants of that neighbourhood to illiimittate their houses; crovids of ',topic went almiit iu various directions, calling " light up," and the ca:ls were genet-Ally obeyed. Bedford-iiinare, ox:6rd-sired, Tottenham-coon-road, Great Itussel.strect, alit! u e surroilllullig neighbourhood were brilliaiolv Other parts of tile town were also illuminated, though not generally. in the neOlhourliood of the :ii'vett Duals and Saint (iiles's the inmost Confll.loll prevailed, in consequence of numerous bonfires and fireworks. Some of the windows exhibited tratisparencics, and placards ihaeribtd, " The Queen Triouiphatit." The Strand and the City were illuminated very gene rally. The different stage coaches were decorated, on leaving London, with white favours on their horses' brads and harness, the coachmen had them also in their hats, and on their whips. Durnig the evening the military paraded the streets, and on their arrival at Temple Bar they were about to enter the City, but were prevented by the proper autho rities without a due order; they were necessitated to return, and confine themselves to marching backward and forward the extent of the Strand. They received the cheers of the populace as they passed along. Placards were stuck ulxrn the shutters of The Courier Oilier and Burns"catern, announcing that the Riot Act had been read. This seemed to check the disposition of the mob, who became very peaceable, and when this account was written there was not the least likelihood of further riot. The Strand notwithstanding was ex tremely crrowded by persons of every description, espe cially opposite The Port and Courier. At the com. mencement of the riot many persons lost their hats and shoes. On the arrival of several officers they attempted to disperse the mob, who rallied upon them with much fury, and eventually overpowered them. One young man, we understand, received a dreadful injury upon the head, from a blow he received from one of the officers with a staff; the young man was knocked senseless on the ground, and in that state eras supported from the scene of cots Insion. The military continu e d par a ding the Strand, and received the loud cheers of the mob. We have not heard of ally acci dent. The Riot Acr was, we understand, read by Mr. M inshull, of Bow-street. The following is an extract of a letter from Portsmouth, dated the 9th inst.:— Last night arrived in Cowes Roads the American ship Ben. gal, 55 days from the Straits of Sunda : she left lying in Sema rang Roads the ships Clandine and ilabdetr, for Europe, the latter to sail about the middle of August. The country ship Gotrgiana, Worthington, left Tangier, for the Isle of France and Liverpool, the chi of August. The Dutch expedition against Palembang, left Batavia ou the list July. consisting of one 7-b rasee, one GO gun ship, three frigates, nine ship-sloops, about too gun-vessels. and a large proportion of flat-boats, to disem bark troops—a number of British, and other vessels, had been taken up to transport troops, stores, &e. The Dutch, having been twice before defeated, doubts were entertained at Batavia of their 6t,CCebS, partienlarly as it was well-known the Rah of Palembang was well prepared to receive them. The Dutch from want of energy or a sufficient force, had allowed the pirates to go so long unehastised, that their ships and settlements. as well as ships of other nations, were suffering every indignity.-- Tt e Malays were now so daring, that they fitted out single prows of large dimensions to attack European ships ; formerly they never thought of attacking unless a large fleet of their own prows were in company. On the Nth of June the Dutch ship Semarang, Capt. Jager, was attacked on the north side of Java, to the east of Semarang, by a pirate prow; the successive attacks lasted four hours, during which the Semarang lost her Captain and one seaman killed, the chief mate and ten seamen wounded : however, as night came on, the pirate was obliged to lay-to to repair damages, hut with every intention of re-attacking in the morning, when fortunately two sail appearing in sight, the pirate made off. The &mammies crew consisted of the Captain, Mate, Mr. John Gransdea, a passenger, and 31 Malay seamen, who behaved extremely well. The Satnarang mounts six six. pounders, besides swivels and small arms. A report was preva lent at Batavia, that a 11 riti3h sloop of war had been twice at tacked in the Straits of Santa, by a fleet of the Malays' largest prows, and had 105t49 men in-killed and wounded, but had gal lantly beat off the pirates. Our informant could not learn the name of the British sloop. There were four outward-bound Eastsladiamen in Tangier - Roads, when the Bengal sailed." From the Columbian Republic, August 25.—The Oronoco Courier contains a long official article on the distribution of the public lands; it consists of ' fourteen articles, and determines the portion of land which every offitxr, non-commissioned officer, and soldier is to have. The Government of the Colum bian Republic have determined that every male shall become a land proprietor, and the land is bestowed without charge to the individual. The convention for forming a new constitution, in the represen tative form, will assemble at Cucula, on the lst of January, 1821. The Commandant of the frigate Andes informs the General commanding at Choco, that the Republican troops had attacked the Royal ists, commandul by Balvcide, in Guapy, Trombequi, and Zaiga, and after having taken their Command ant and many prisoners, put them to the route; the President, who had been preparing a flotilla, had left with a small party of horse iu the night, on some new expedition. Letters and Gazettes have arrived from Naples to the 18th ult. The Treaty concluded by General Pepe with the citizens of Palermo was submitted to the Parliament at Naples on the 14th, and rejected unanimously by that body. The rejection is be lieved to accord with the popular feeling on that subject. A Proclamation was in consequence issued on the following day by the VicarGencral,declaring it void and of no effect. Gen. Pepe was immediateiy recalled from Palermo, and Colletto, with a force of 6,000 men, appointed to succeed him, and to reduce the Palermitans to an unqualified submission. The accounts from Palermo were of the 1 at which period of continued in a tranquil state. The citizens had so flu. fulfilled their share in the Con vention as to surrender the fiats and batteries, together with all their Neapolitan prisoners. No attempt had been made, however, to disa.la the Sicilians, who remained, thcrclhre, in a state suffi ciently figmidable for the recommencement of hostile operations. lt remains to be seen how . 4 .ltr Naples will consent tol receive benefit from the stipu /at of a Treaty, the final aatilication of which is refuscd Ly the I'a la: FROJ.
