[FURTHER PARTICULARS.] Yesterday the LORD MAYOR. and City Offi cers, with the usual retinue, proceeded to the Exchequer in state. At an early hour every avenue leading to Guildhall was crowded. At half.paat eleven, the Lord Mayor (Alderman Wald:man) arrived at Guildhall in his private carriage, follow. ed by the late Lord Alayor, and entered the hall. At twelve o'clock, continued cheering announced the arrival of Alderman Wood, who drove up in his private carriage, and immediately after the state-carriage was drawn up in front of Guildhall by. six beautiful bay horses, and .was followed by the late Lord Mayor's private carriage drawn by six dark bays, beautifully decorated with scarlet and white ribbancls. The harness worn by the horses in the state carriage was quite plain, with heavy .brass buckles. Soon after twelve, the men in armour, and a number of beautiful horses to form the procession, arrived. A number of city officers and special constables lined the way be. tween Guildhall and the bridge. At a little more than half past twelve the Lord Mayor entered the state-carriage accom panied' by the Sword-bearer and Chaplain, and the procession moved slowly on. At Foster-lane, the Goldsmiths' Company, with a band of music, joined the procession, which moved on to the east side of Blackfriars-hridge, where the Lord Mayor alikhted, and embarked on board the City barge. The brass, scale armour seemed to attract the greatest degree of public attention ; it had a very splendid appearance. The coat of mail is superb, as is the spear and truncheon : there is a whole shoe of brass (solid), and brass stirrups to the saddle ; every point presents a lion's head, neatly worked ; the helmet Is re markable for good workmanship. There is a rising leaf in the centr e , Supporting a rich plume of feathers, and on the sides vari ous inscriptions. The armour contains 7,000 scales, exclu, sive of the points. On the shield is the Rose, Shainroek, and ' l hu ts, coveting its surface, and its dimension is small. The tiorse's bridle was also studded with roses, which gave a very brilliant appearance. At half-past three the procession was a s4 g3ln °llserved returning down the river. The sudden sharp :'' iu P; announced the arrival, and his Lordship disembarked it ,x'at With di ffi culty he could ascend the steps for the crowd. ` fit the Obelisk, Bridge-street, the procession was joined by the Ambassadors, Judges, and Members, who had been invited to thei b anquet at Guildhall; and at the corner of King -street. the Lady Mayoress, who came from the Mansion-house, joined the proaession in a most splendid private carriage. THE DINNER. At half-past four o'clock the clangour of trumpets announced the approach of the new Lord Mayor to Guildhall. He imme diately afterwards entered, preceded by the . sword mace b- 'r i Aiar, and attended by the usual city officers. The Lady ayer!,: , s kept her state in the Council Chamber, where the puke of Sussex, and several other visitors of rank, were intro 'loecd to her. At six o'clock the Lord Mayor proceeded from the Council Chamber to the hall, which was most brilliantly illu- The upper end of the hall was ornamented with a splen. did crown ; the lower end with a vivid and beautifully proper* fortfeed of gas. Two large, and ono small gas chandelie r , , uenended were from the roof. Tasteful festoons of gas here disposed along the w a ll a ; an d, at a cons id era bl e di stance low the fatoons, fourteen gas Wares shed a powerful light. —Tneacene was exceedingly grand. The gay and tasteful dres,se s of the ladies —the feathers and jewels with which very many of them were decorated, were seen to the utmost advan. ra g e amidst this flood of radiance. Amongst the company who honoured the festivity with their presence, we observed—the Auks Of Sussex, Chief -Justice Abbott, Mr. Justice Bayley, M. Justice Holroyd, Mr. Justice Burrough, Mr. Baron Gar. raw, Mr. Baron Hullock, Lord Nugent, Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, 3 1r. S er j eant Bosanquet, Mr. Serjeant Rough, Mr. Serjeant P ell, Sir J.

However, some 1 4 , tuh lais might affect to consider its proceedings of this day t bat. a t o matter of show and pageantry, it was quite evident look ed their anceators did not view it in that light. They I ,, u Nta the free election of the first Magistrate of the 0 - t ; s l 140:Idea, and upon his solemn inauguration, as matters pr ti eeP r , hllPortance, and most intimately connected with the Ii e e t l s ticu l of th e i r r i g h ts an d lib ert i es . —(A pp l ause .)— si:j a - " gul tot disd a i ne d t o b e p resen t on occas i ons o f a emin ent dea eription —the most eminent men in the country , ler that roof; and he was now happy to see near him °oil Personage, on whose love of liberty it was u.nne tl,4 rti to dil ate —(Applause.)—That illustrious individual At I : I4I SYS happy to see popular rights exerted in such a manner L.o,prroddlhi.p uce beneficial effects for the people.--{Applause.) then expressed the great satisfaction he felt at t he hOh))1.0 *roe s attendan ce of the Learned Judges, and concluded by Stl4l,:lin—`4 The h ea l t h o f hi s R oyal Hi g h ness t h e D u k e o f ti l t , " with th ree times three. ` l e toast was received with enthusiasm. 'Thep , whi ch u ke of Susscx, in returning thanks for the honour p pft -1 ha d been conferred on him, said, he would take that u tt . t - l t , tull itY to express the feelings by which he was actuated 114 fteasion. He feared that the Lord Mayor had praised iibertt°° highly f or his love of liberty. It was true that lie prized hi c , 44i ) hove all earthly blessings ; b ut h e was sure th a t that ri g was held i n equal estimation by every tme English had folie was happy that the choice of the citizens of London on the gentleman who presided over that assembly, ilee es !P l anned, in every way, to perform the important 44414171 th how d evolved upon hit n .—( Applau s e . ) --- it also aces u very great pleasure to w i tness the numerous attend alltitivioirstittyer: and,ohthis occasion.

" , he was most an x i ous that due respect should b e 411 constitut authority. —(Applause.)--..In conclusion , p .` I :1 his oval Highness bogged leave to drink the health of the company. Toast—" The Duke of York and the Army." The Duke of Sitsaak said, he had conceived the usual course of proceeding to be, for the late Lord Mayor to propose the health of his successor. But es that had not been done, he would himself undertake the task, feeling the most perfect conviction that the toast would impart to the company the same satisfaction which hefelt in announcing it. He trusted that the new Lord Mayor would be blessed with health and strength to go through the arduous and difficult duties which his fellow citizens had imposed on him ; and with this sincere wish, he should propose " the health of the Lord Mayor, with three times three."—(Thunders of applause.) The Loan Aaron said the most difficult situation in which a man could be placed, was when he happened to be called on to say something.of himself, because he must either speak in self:commendation, or else avoid every allusion to his previous conduct; in which latter case many would perhaps be inclined to suppose that he had no merits which he could bring to public view.—(Applause.)—To his fellow-citizens he returned his best acknowledgments for having raised him to an office of so much Importance; and lie was more particularly gni tided by the very prompt and honourable mariner in which he was elected.—(Applause.)—lt was a matter of high sada- faction for him to find, after a long series of exertions in the cause of' the people—after a long struggle in support of those popular principles which lie should always maintain—after all the false assertions and unfounded calumnies which had been thrown out against him—it was a matter of high satisfaction on. the day of his election, to see himself surrounded in that Hall by as large an assemblage as he believed it ever contained, from whom not a whisper of censure, not a murmur of disap probation was heard to fall. -..( App lause.)—lie had been on the present day'apprised by one of the Learned Judges, of the high and important duties he was called on to perform. He well understood the nature of those duties, but still he was glad the Learned Judge had called his attention to them, cause he thought that he could not be too often reminthil of their magnitude. He felt the responsibility of his situa tion, and he also felt that the manner in which the office had been bestowed on him rendered it still more impera tive that lie should attend sedulously to the performance of its various duties.e-(Applause.)—lt was, therefore, his firm intention to devote all his mind, all his exertions, all hie applicat;en, to the discharge of the functions with which he had been intrusted, in order to preserve unimpaired that good opinion which his fellow-citizens were kind enough to entertain of him.—(Applause.)—He knew the difficulties that were connected with the situation : but he trusted that he should be found constantly using every exertion in his power to preserve all the rights, privileges, and immunities of the city of London ; at the same time that he took care never to forget the liberties of the people, from whom all power emanated.—( A pplause.)—lt was by the extent of public liberty, and by the free exercise of public opinion, that the country haul risen to its present eminence; and he hoped it would continue to maintain that enviable eminence over the surrounding coun tries.—(Applause.)—He most sincerely thanked his fellow. citizens for the good opinion they entertained 'of him. They had imposed on him a most important task ; and by his correct performance of it, he would endeavour to procure that go6d opinion which he had prized so highly. Toast—" The Wooden Walls of' Old England," with three times three. Tune—" Rule Britannia." The LORD MAYOR said, lie rose to propose a toast, which he was sure the company would drink most cordially. Feel. ing that impression, it was unnecessary that he should detain them by any preliminary observations. The toast he alluded to was the health of his predecesscir in office. That gentleman had discharged the duties of hie office in a manner that gave perfect satisfaction to those who came immediately in contact with him, and which AVM not less agreeable to his fellow-citi zens at large. lie should therefore, without further preface, p ropose— " The health of the late Lord Mayor,"—with three times three. The toast was received with much applause. Alderman HEYGArE returned thanks, and proposed "The health of the Lady Mayoress and the Ladies,' —with three thrice three. The toast was drank amidst the most lively applause. The Loitn MAYOR rose to express to the company his grate ful thanks for this additional mark of kindness. Ile could assure those whom he had the honour of addressing, that the Lady Mayoress would make every exertion to please and satisfy those individuals who might be induced, from time to time. to The of civic h os pi ta l ity . — (A pp l ause.) ' The Loan MAYOR then proposed " The health of my Lords the Judges." The Lord Chief-Justice ABBOTT briefly returned thanks on behalf of himself and his learned brethren. Lord Chief Justice Aouovr then proposed "The health of the late Lady Mayoress," with three finical three. Alderman lizvaexs: returned thanks. The Loan MAYOR proposed " The health of Lord Nugent," on whose cornititutional and patriotic principles he pronouneLli a veal high ulogium. Lord NUGENT, in returning thanks, congratulated the Cr on having selected for their Chief Alegi's - mute's° . independent ant indefatigable an individual. The health of the lion. H. G. Bennet was then given with three times three. The LORD /VIA YOR next proposed" The health of Sir James Mackintosh," with three times three. Sir JAMES MAOxZN Toss commenced by expressing his deep sense of the honour conferred upon him. He was anxious to confine himself to the expression of that sentiment, and not to enter upon subjects of disputed opinion. It was far from his inten tion to disturb by such discussion the unanimity which at present prevailed amongst them ; an unanimity by which a virtuous citizen had been elected to the Chief Magistracy of this me. tropolis, by the unanimous voice of those who had been for years eye-witnesses of his conduct through life ; a unanimity by which an upright citizen, without the sacrifice of a friend, or the surrender of a shade of principle, had subdued every candid . prejudice and prepossession against him, and by the sole weight of his own talents and integrity had vindicated his pretensions to the highest station amongst his fellow-citizens. He (Sir J. Mackintosh) spoke of honest prejudice ; he would not condescend to notice hireling calumny or mercenary slander.—(Loud cheers.)—Such aspersions were ever futile and inaffective.—He agreed with the Lord Mayor that such a pa geant as the present was useful, because it was ancient. By it the pride of ancient ancestry was cherished and preserved, and the munificent splendor of the City of London commemorated and continued. On such en occasion as the present, they were reminded of their station in society, and made to feel sensitively the rights and privileges which they were bound to preserve. The City of 'London may be fairly considered to represent the Constitution of England in miniature. Its various free in stitutions, its spirit and independence, illustrated this posi- tion ; and it was not amongst the least of its boasts, that by successful exertions honourable industry may here be enabled to rear its head in merited splendour beside the hereditary nobles of the land.—(Cheers.) ,lie wits glad to see the Judges. of the land present ; and as to what may be considered the ab sence of influential persons, for his part he did not believe that any parson of real conse9uence in the country could be absent that day through intentional disrespect to his Noble Friend who filled the office of Chief Magistrate. He WAS sure at least that no influence of ' . power or authority could induce him to swerve from the principles on which he had acted through life, or induce the city or London to abandon that independence of sentiment and principle to which it owed its present greatness, and by an adherence to which it could alone hope to continue great and free.—(Loud cheers.) The Loan Meson next proposed " The health of the Right Hon. Lard Bingham," with three times three. The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the Members for Middlesex," with three times three. Mr. Bram returned thanks in a short speech. His Lordship next proposed " The health of J. C. Hob house, Esq., one of the Members for Wesnninster," with three times three. Mr. HOIMORSE said, as his sentiments had been so much better expressed by his Hon. Friend, Sir J. Mackintosh, than he could hope to express them, he would not break in upon the conviviality of the meeting by a lengthened address. He should only say that the city of Westminster would be always found united, as well in interest as in neighbourhood, with the city of London ; and when public liberty or public prosperity was con cerned, both cities, he was assured, would co-operate for the benefit of each, and for the general interest of the whole em. pire.—(Applause-) The Loan Mayon proposed " The health of the Aldermen who had passed the amis." Alderman ANSLEY returned thanks. The Loan Mayon then proposed. " The health of the Recorder." The RCCORDER expressed his grateful sense of the honour that bad been conferred on him, and wished his Lordship health and happiness in the high office to which he had been called. Tlwe•Loan MAYOR proposed" Th e health of t h e Ald ermen with three times thr e e. belA°ildetrhrne Chair," Alderman returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR, after an appropriate eulogium, proposed Th e health of Alderman Wood," with three times three.— (Great applause.) Alderman Wool) returned thanks. He was well aware of the arduous duties which his Honourable Friend would have to execute, but he believed there was not a man better oh:slates, to perform those dudes. - The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Dr. Lushing ton," with three times three. Dr. LusnreeGTON. in returning thinks, congratulated the Lord Jayor on his elevation to the civic chair. It was a just reward for his integrity and independence,;, and he hoped it would act ns an encouragement to all those who were treading in the same steps, that patience and perseverance will ulti mately overcome all obstacles, however great. The LORD MAYOR _proposed " The health of the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, and Court of Directors of the East India Company." WIGRAM, Esq., the Chairman, expressed his sincere thanks for the honour that had been time linn and assured the company, that those who administered the afiiiirs of the Corn. puny, while they looked to the welfare of India, attended, at the same time, to the interests of Old England. The LORD MAYOR gave " The health of Joseph Hume, Esq., M. P.," with three times three. IIuME assured his Lordship, that he, and all those who were imbued with the love of liberty, hailed his Lordship's in stallation with feelings of proud satisfaction.—(Applause.)— The choice which the City of London had made was as honour. able to those who had raised his Lordship to the chair, as to the individual whom they had selected. The Loon MAYOR, with some prefatory remarks, proposed the health of the Sheriff WHITTAKER (as senior Sheriff), returned thanks in animated and eloquent terms.' When called upon to execute the present duty that was imposed upon him, he felt, at least, that lie brought to the discharge of it an honest and zealous in tention—(Hear, hear !)--sWhatever may be his own opinions, he recognised the right of every man to think for himself, and to the prevalence of that principle did lie attribute the present ciosperay of this Metropplis, and the' growing greatness of this country. He had pledged himself to protect the rights and privileges of his fellow-citizens and to attend to their interests during his year of office ; a nd fie hoped that at the close of the year they would admit, that, as far as in ids power, lie had re deemed that pledge—(Cheers.) Sheriff LAURIE, also returned thanks, and expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing the Lord, Mayor supported on the Sussex by royalty., and on the left by justice. Int Duke of Sussex sat on the right and the Chief Justice on the left of the Lord Mayor.] For his own part, lie assured his fellow-citi :ceps, that, since he came into office, his dine had been, and would continue to be, devoted to the discharge of his duties.— (Applause.) The LORD MAYOR said he had to propose one toast more; it was the last, but was not, he was sure, the least acceptable to them. It was the health of a man who s e n ame s h ou ld not be omitted amongst them, and whose talents and integrity emi. nently entitled )dish to their esteem and respect. To ensure the cordial reception of the toast he was about to propose, he need only mention— ". Th e Common Serjeant of the City of Lontithi:". toast was received with the utmost applause. Mr. DEN3IAN rose amidst very general cheering. He was grateful for the unexpected proposal of his name, and for the kind manner in which it had been received by the company. He was proud, however, at the present opportunity of re. turning thanks; lie was proud at seeing his Lordship in that chair, to which his honesty, integrity, anti talents lied raised him.—(Cheers.)—lndeed he (Mr. Denman) may be pet mitred to arrogate some degree of pride and pleasure to himself on account of the situation which he' fulfilled, for he might, without exaggeration say, never did the Corporation of London give a stronger proof of their independence then in the election of himself to the situation to which they had been pleased to appoint him,—(Cheers.)—The unanimous vote of the citizens of London in favor of his Lordship to the Situation he now filled must be a source of deep and sincere gratification to hiM. It had been earned by his attachment to the principles of pub lic liberty and well-proved integrity of conduct. It. must be an additional source ofgratification to him to know that the unani mous voice of the citizens of London was in unison with the general voice anti feeling of the country. The Duke of SUSSEX said before those who resided at the west end of the town retired, it was impossible for Min not to express the satisfaction he felt at the sentiments of respect for the Crown, and of attachment to the independence of the country (which every British subject should feel) that had been delivered in the course of the evening.—(Applause.)--- It was evident from every one of those speeches, that the rights and privileges of the city would he properly maintained. He for one venerated the opinions which had been so advanced; and he could not quit the room without wishing prosperity to the city, when they had been so long acted on, and health to those who maintained and preserved - them.—(Applause.)— He might also be allowed to observe, that whenever the cause of charity was pleaded, the city came forward promptly with that which appeared to be necessary.—(A pplause).— He there. fore would propose " Prosperity to the City of London, and the trade thereof."—His Royal Weiner; then quitted tile hall. The company soon afterwards separated, or retired to the further end of the Hall, where tea and coffee was prepared and distributed. A mall portion of Gentlemen had, however, re paired to the Council Chamber to enjoy the pleasures of the dance. '—This Mr. Brougham w•as prevntecl from attend;rig by the death of the lion.

I will venture to say that it would have been impossible to find throughout the whole country then, one single individual - possessed of the abilities and information displaYed by most of the company. The improvement 'in the mean time has been very great indeed. The imbecility and ignorance of the higher ranks of Spaniards, formerly, are hardly to be conceived by Englishmen ; Judge then of my iurprize to find myself among 'a number of men speaking the Spanish language, equally distinguished by strength of mind and extensive information."—(Morning Chronicle.) Dr...H(IIAR; Bishop of New York, has ar• rived in this country, on his way to Italy, for the recovery of his health. The late Karl of BRIDGEWATER has left his chief estates to the Countess for her life, deducting from the rental 111,0001. a.year for the Hon. and Rev. Francis Egerton, now Earl of Bridgewater. The estates, after the decease of the Countess, and of t h e p resent Earl, devolve to the lion. Mr. Cost (Lord Alton), eldest son of the Earl of Brownlow. —The Countess of Brownlow was the younger daughter of Sir Abraham Hume, by the Lady Amelia Eg er t on , hi s wife, who was sister to the Earl of Bridgewater. Sophia, the elder; daughter of Sir A. flume, Bart., married the Right lion. C. Long, to whom also a property is bequeathed.—f 41/Orning PeT . er.) 'f he Rev. Mr. MATTHEWS, who preached at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, Sunday morning, from the text `• Fools make a mock at sin," (Prot'. xiv. ch. 9. ver.) pointed, in impressive and eloquent language, to the appalling murder which so deeply interests the public mind, as a melancholy and awful example of human depravity, originating in bad com pany, and a scornful disregard of religious duties. He la mented that the unparalleled atrocity of the deed indicated a fearful change in the national character, and denounced gamb ling as a vice which, beyond all others, tended to vitiate and brutify the heart. When dishonourable .exptslienta and fraud failed to retrieve loss of money, despair and revenge impelled the gamester deliberately and ruthlessly to perpetrate crimes from which, in the outset of his career, he would have recoiled with horror.
