They presented a striking contrast to the lumbering, gingerbread vehicle, in which the chief officer of the City is doomed to accom modate himself on every grand occasion. When the Lord Mayor's coach approached .the bar rier, such a complication of noises arose, that the horses turned restive, and by a singular mal apropos, the hind wheel of the coach was locked in one of the posts, which detained it some time, .thereby giving an ample opportunity to the dense crowd to express their feelings- towards his Lordship. Yells, shunts, and witticisms, practical and verbal, greeted him from every quarter, amidst which even the kettle drums and trumpets of the Horse Guards were undis which rang in their ears. It certainly could not be denominated a sad cava l ca d e , th oug h there are circum stances connected with it which must, unless his Lord ship be devoid of the common feelings of humanity, have been melancholy, indeed to him. This day, the, 9th of. November, will long be memorable in the annals of the ancient City of London. Never, in the recollection of the oldest citizens, did there occur ouch a Lord Mayor's Day, for it Will long be remem bered by those who saw the " Lord Mayor's Show," as it is vulgarly called, on Saturday. The arrangements ;of the authorities for the con venience of the spectators, and for the prevention of accidents were most defective, and it was next to mira culous that Some serious accident did not occur. The crowd, which was great in many parts along which the procession had to.pass, was allowed to block up not only the footway but the carriage way also, and when the carriages left Guildhall the police were only enabled to clear a pas Sage for them by the use of their staves, and by great exertions., There must have been a great want of foresight somewhere.

Randall, Esq., and Peter Laurie, Esq., Common Pleaders ; the two Secondaries, the Comptroller, the Remembrancer, and the Solicitor. The gev. M.Gtnns, chaplain to the Lord Mayor, said grace before dinner. After the cloth had been removed, Non Nobis Domine was chanted with very good effect by the vocalists engaged for the occasion, under the direction of Mr. Ransford. Mr. TOOLE, the prince of toastmasters, gave '" The Loving Cup" with great eclat. The LORD MAYOR, on proposing the first toast, said—My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—l have the honour to propose to your acceptance the health of an illustrious lady, deservedly dear to every lover of his country, and to whom we, as citizens of London, owe a debt of gratitude for the recent honour con ferred upon us in having attended the opening of a celebrated building dedicated to the purposes of com merce. I have great pleasure in offering to your notice " The health of our most gracious Sovereign the Queen."—(Three times three, and one cheer more, followed by the National Anthem.) The LORD MAYOR—I have much pleasure in pro posing to you the health of a distinguished lady—the munificent patron of every charitable institution and object in the country—" Her Majesty the Queen Dowager." (Drunk with all the honours, and fol lowed by a glee.) The next toast was, " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the consort of our beloved Queen, whose estimable character and conduct, since he came to this country, have endeared him in the estimation of every loyal subject of her Majesty."— (Drunk with three times three.) The Loan MAYOR—I trust a long period will elapse before this day loses its principal distinction. I have the honour of proposing, Many happy returns of this day to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales," whose birth on Lord Mayor's day will al ways make its recurrence an object of peculiar grati fication to the citizens of London.—(Loud cheers.) I beg, in connexion with the health of his Royal Highness, to conjoin that of the other members of the Royal Family.—(Three times three,followed by a glee.) The next toast by the LORD MAYOR was, "The Army and Navy of the United Kingdom," two pro= fessions that always united when the interests of the country required.—(Drunk with all the honours.) Colonel WOOD, M.P. for Middlesex, acknowledged the compliment, and bore testimony to the numerous gratifying acts of kindness and distinction conferred by the City of London on the officers of both branches of her Majesty's service. The LORD MAYOR then gave the health of " Field- Marshal his ,Grace the Duke of Wellington"--(Great cheering, followed by " See the conquering hero comes")—which was followed by " Prosperity to the City of London."—(Great cheering, followed by a glee.) The Loan MAYOR said—The next toast which I have the honour to propose is " The health of the late Lord Mayor," whose laborious year of office has just terminated. At its commencement he had the honour to be called on to defend the rights of the corporation on some most important subjects that were then in volved in discussion, and the close of his year had heen marked by events not more interesting to him self than honourable to the corporation—(Cheers)— from the measures he thought it proper, to pursue in, the maintenance of its honour at the opening of the Royal, Exchange. His conduct has been so fortunate .as to meet the approbation 'of his Sovereign and the Government of this country, and of those whose feel ings and interests, as members of the Corporation and citizens of London, he had the distinguished honour on that occasion to represent. The honours which he has reaped I wish him long life to enjoy.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst great applause, which, having subsided— Sir WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., spoke as follows : I return you my warmest thanks for the honour you have done me in responding so kindly to the toast which has just been given from the chair. It is gratifying to me, after I hare resigned the office which my fellow• citizens entrusted to me, that I should receive this mark of your regard. I can assure you that when I entered on office I felt the responsibility of the duties I had undertaken ; I knew that my fellow citizens valued those privileges they had entrusted to my keeping ; I knew also that they could only expect to enjoy their franchise so long as they exercised it for the public good, and so long as their officers dis charged their duties faithfully and honourably.-:--- (Cheers.) With these feelings I entered on my year of office, and I have never ceased vigilantly to watch over the rights and interests of my fellow-citizens. It is, therefore, most gratifying to me that at the, termination of my year of office I should re ceive this mark of your respect and appro bation.—(Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor has thought proper to allude to circumstances of great interest to the City of London which have occurred during my year of office. Among those, it is impossible that I should not particularly refer to the auspicious visit of his Majesty-the King of the French to this country, giving, as it does, a pledge that thoseieelings which have produced so long a peace are cementing the bonds of amity between this country and our neigh bours on the other side of the Channel, which are growing stronger and stronger every year, and will continue, I trust, to do so for many years to come.— (Loud cheers.) I must also congratulate you that the occasion of that visit gave you and my fellow citizens pan opportunity of expressing their high ad miration of the principles which have animated his Majesty's Government, in presenting to him a loyal and dutiful address.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has been pleased to allude to another subject — one of peculiar gratification to the citizens of London, and a personal honour to myself—l allude to the recent visit of her Majesty on the opening of the Royal Exchange.—(Cheers.) The visit of her Ma jesty on that interesting occasion showed how much her Majesty consulted the welfare of her people, and the anxiety she always felt to evince her royal re spect and regard for the corporation of the City of London.—(Loud cheers.) Thanking you most sin • cerely for the honour you have done me, I assure you my Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentleman, that I am highly gratified to find, by the testimony of your ap probation, that I have conducted myself during my year of office not unworthily of its responsibilities, and transferred it unsullied to its present possessor. The LORD MAYOR—FuIIy concurring with the late Lord Mayor in his observations respecting the inte resting visit of his Majesty the King of the French to our illustrious Sovereign, and the important conse quences which may result from it in the permanent preservation of peace between the two nations, I have great pleasure in proposing the health of our illus trious guest, his Excellency the French Ambassador, and the other Foreign Ministers.—(Loud cheers.)' His Excellency the FRENCH AMBASSADOR then spoke (in French) as follows :—ln the name of all my colleagues of the diplomatic body, I beg to thank you for the honour you have done us, and I trust you will believe in the sentiments which we entertain for CANDLE NOTORIETY.-W. lIALE'S Superb ,COMPOSITE, 101 d: per lb., requiring no snuffing, on Comparition and trial are allowed to surpass all other, of the present day for beauty and brilliancy of light.

These sentiments will find an echo in all the countries of the world. Never have the bleisings of a general peace been more appreciated than at the pre sent day ; never has the world been more universally convinced that individual prosperity rested upon the prosperity of all. Gentlemen, allusion has been made to an event which to the last day of my life will be one of the most cherished recollections,—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, many among you have heard even from the mouth of my Sovereign the senti ments with which he is inspired. The good opinions that you have expressed to him, and the manner in whicb you have received the representative of the throne, I feel confidence in assuring you, in the name of all my fellow-citizens, whatever may be their opi nions and their social position, will be felt by every Frenchman.—(Cheers.) My Lord, gentlemen, and ladies, it is with the utmost pleasure that I express to you the profound thanks with which my heart is filled for the sentiments you have uttered. His Excellency was loudly cheered during the course, and at the conclusion of, his speech. The LORD MAYOR—Confident as I am that the present company is composed of individuals entertaining different sentiments on political subjects, it is, I assure you, no part of my purpose to minister on such an occasion to anything like party feeling ; but I am convinced all will agree with me that those entrusted with the government of this country are entitled to due respect and gratitude for their public services— (Cheers) —and however her Majesty's present Govern ment, in some of the measures they have thought it their duty to introduce, may have affected particular interests,, still I trust you will all agree with me that their sole and undoubted intention has been, and is, to promote the permanent prosperity of the country. — (Cheers.) I, therefore, calf upon you, with confi dence, to drink the health of " Sir James Graham and her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheering.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM—My Lord Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen—ln the unavoidable absence of the head. of 'her Majesty's Government, and in behalf of s my colleagues and myself, I rise with the greatest The same manifestation of feeling continued during the whole route. Before quitting this part of the subject, we must express a hope that the unfortunate men who represented the chivalry of a past age, will, on every future occasion, be amply fortified with what the redoubted Ritt-Master Dugald Dalgetty calls " the munition of war," for they seemed in a most sxhaasted state, even before they entered upon their crusade to Westminster. The windows in the several houses on the route were crowded with elegantly dressed females, many of whom waved their handkerchiefs, and occasionally some partisan or partisans of the new Lord Mayor called out, " Bravo Gibbs," " Long live the Lord Mayor," but whether these ejaculations were uttered in a jocular spirit or with perfect seriousness we could not divine. Some wags sent a rumour through the crowd, which was disseminated with considerable rapidity, that the new Lord Mayor, fearing the reception which he would meet with from his fellow-citizens, could not be in duced to enter the state carriage, or that he would proceed in one of the private carriages, of which there . were several in the procession. In the cortege there were two men richly caparisoned, who wore brass coats of mail, and as they rode along in "awful state," shouts of laughter rent the air, and many of the crowd, who, it would appear, were determined to make the most of the Lord Mayor, and were lament ably wanting in due respect for his civic dignity, called out iu a stentorian voice, " Here comes Gibbs, the man in brass, bravo !" As he neared the Mansion house the same expressions of feeling towards him were manifested. llis Lordship did not however ap pear " ill at ease," as he and those who were with him in the state carriage smiled at the exclamations ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED ix ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Moen, and Night, thereby inuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at . ONE CHARGE, pleasure to have the honour of returning thanks for the compliment which you have been pleased to pay to her Majesty's Ministers. From the earliest period of the history of this free country, to deserve the appro bation of the citizens of London has ever been among the highest objects of ambition with all men taking part in public affairs ; and to obtain any mark of your confidence and esteem has ever been regarded—and justly regarded—an ample and honourable reward for the most faithful and efficient services. —(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has truly told you, that in such a great assembly 'as this there necessarily must be a difference of political opinion; it would therefore be most improper and inexcusable on my part if I uttered one word, or expressed one opinion, which would create a di v i s i on i n thi s grea t assembly. But I may be permitted to say, that to promote the happiness, to sustain the honour, to maintain the peace of this country, and to promote the prosperity of all classes of its inhabitants, are in deed the constant aim and ardent desire of her Ma jesty's present advisers.—(Cheers.) You have heard from her Majesty herself the expression of her own sentiments on this subject. The mode of attaining these great objects naturally gives rise to a difference of opinion ; but her Majesty herself has declared what is the keystone of her Government, which, among a free people, can never be doubted as the most bene ficent and best adapted to secure its objects. her Majesty herself declared that " to promote the relief of the indigent, to secure the advancement of science, and to aid the extension of commerce, are the great ob jects of the policy of this country. To give effect to these objects shall be the constant and sedulous endeavours of her Majesty's Ministers, and, by the blessing of Providence, I confidently hope that their efforts will not be altogether unavailing.—(Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, with your permission, I am anxious to pro pose a toast, and in proposing it I rely with confidence on the justice and generosity of so l a rg e an assem bl y of my fellow-citizens. I scorn to use the language of flattery and adulation—l shall rather use the simple language of sincerity and truth; and I appeal to this great assembly whether it be not just—whether it be not generous, to anticipate that your Lordship, filling the high office which you now bold by the voice of your fellow-citizens, will emulate the example of your predecessor, and honourably and faithfully fulfil the high duties and important functions of that office to which you have been elevated by the choice of the Livery, by the approbation of the Court of Aldermen, and by the full and entire approbation of your Sove reign.—(Loud cheers.) Feeling that he whom the citizens of London have thought worthy cannot be unworthy—(Loud cheers)—it is with great and heartfelt satisfaction that, with your permission, have to propose as a bumper toast, " The health of the Lord Mayor of the City of London."—(Three times three and one cheer more.) The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said— My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen—l feel deeply indebted for the very kind manner in which Sir Jamas Graham has done me the honour to propose my name to your notice. I feel, on the present occa sion, that I ought to speak with deep humility It becomes not him who putteth on the harness to boast like him who pulleth it off. All I can say is, that all my anxiety shall be to endeavour firmly to discharge the duties of Lord Mayor.—(Cheers.) The TRENCH AMBASSADOR then proposed ".The health , ' the Lady Mayoress," which the. Lord Mayor, having acknowledged in' appropriate terms, his Lordship proposed "The health of the Lord Chief Baren and the Judges," observing that the purity of the administration of justice in this country was pro verbial, but, happily for us, it was not only a matter of history, but of daily - experience.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD CHIEF BARON thanked the company for the honour of proposing his health and that of the, Judges_ in connexion with the purity of the, ad ministration of justice. Ire begged to say that so long as the Judges were supported by the learning and independence of-the bar, and assisted by the en lightened intelligence and incorruptible integrity of the citizens of London, the administration of justice in that .city would always be worthy of its history down to the present hour.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—FuIIy impressed with the pro priety of the sentiments uttered by the Lord Chief Baron as to the independence of the bar, and speaking, he was sure, the sentiments of every citizen of London, he had great pleasure in proposing next" The health of the. Solicitor-General and the bar of England." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL returned thanks in n speech of some length, The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of " The representatives of the City of London," which Mr. Masterman acknowledged ; after which the healths of the Aldermen who had passed the chair, those who had not passed the chair, the Sheriffs, and the Recorder were given, and duly honoured ; and the company, which during the whole proceedings were more than usually good-natured and cordial in their reception of every sentiment that fell from the chair, separated before eleven.

THE NEW BANK BILIT: The money mark e t h av i ng b een ev i dently of late in a state of transition, f rom a g l u t o f unemp l oye d capital, to a fair demand for it, and changes like these affecting more or less all the transactions of the country, whether commercial or financial, it be. comes of great importance to collect the views of the best practical men in the City, as to the nature and origin of the transition now in progress, and the ex tent to which it is likely to be carried. A circular, or " overland dispatch" for India, issued for the mail which has just left England by one of the leading houses, is so well adapted to this purpose, that it de serves to be largely quoted from, for general informa tion. The annexed extracts are, therefore, given, and it will be observed from them, that the effect of the new Banking Bill, in checking speculation, adverted to in the present week under this head, is admitted in this circular, and the operation of it much more fully detailed:— " Money is under a process of change, from over abundance and absolute want of employment at any rate of interest, to a decided and extensive demand, at an advance in the rate which is already equal to nearly forty per cent. upon the greatest depression. The first indica tion of an advancing tendency in the market was the large sums, amounting to nearly 3,000,0001., taken from the Bank for several weeks previous to the pay ment of th 3 October dividends (thus anticipating nearly half the amount issued at that period) at rates varying from LI- to 2i per cent., as the Bank chose to fix tho value. These sums being borrowed for a given time, have since been in course of repayment, but the Bank is again lending for stated periods, and the abundance of money usually felt after the issue of the dividends has already disappeared. It is now quite evident that the Bank will be called upon, between this and the Ja nuary dividends, for loans and discounts to a pretty large extent, and that the present rates of 21 to 3 per cent. are at least not likely to be lots er. " The change has come on us unexpectedly, and has not yet awakened general attention. In the absence of any political disturbing cause—after an abundant har vest—with very favourable exchanges, and a large steel( of bullion in the Bank, it will be inquired, what can have occasioned so sudden an alteration ? " Foreign railroads (or, in other terms, foreign loans, for a great part of the money required fur them in sc me shape or the other finds its way from this country), to gether with the Belgian Loan, although but a small pro portion has been actually taken by British capitalists, have unquestionably had some etftct, yet not to an ex tent to operate unfavourably on the exchanges, for the gold still remains with us. " As fel- merchandise, there is not a semblance of speculation in it, notwithstanding nll articles of impoi t are so low as scarcely to pay the cost of production and transport. "The projected schemes for new railroads in the United Kingdom have been estimated to amount to 70,000,0001, and hence the deposits require d before going to Parliament would be nearly 4,000,0001., which must be either paid into the Bank of England to resiain dormant, or be invested in Exchequer-bills. This esti mate is doubtless greatly exaggerated, and probably 2,000,000/. would come much nearer to the real fact. There is no doubt, however, that the deposits which have been already required to be made into the hands of bankers and others, acting for these undertakings, amount to an important sum, which to a considerable extent ab sorbs Bank notes and will continue inactive, a portion only being re-circulated. The country bankers also are largely suppVing themselves with bank-notes (as a pre cautionary measure with reference to the new Banking Bill), which for a time will also remain in their cctrers, and contribute to augment that portion of the circulation which is dormant. The Bank Act of last session (which may be called Mr. S. J. Loyd's for the principle has long since been ably advocated. by him), although a measure of the most stringent character, the tendency of which is to keep down the prices of all descriptions of property connected with the trade and commerce of the country, and..mate- • rially to lessen profits while it appreciates the value of money, on the other hand is most beneficial as an imme diate check upon all disposition to excess.' This regu lating power, unyielding as it may be, is now operating by the timely exercise of a salutary interference to pre vent the recurrence of evils from a hich the country has formerly suffered with such severity. Three or four months since the long-continued abundance and cheap ness of money brought into existence innumerable schemes for railroads, &c., upon which speculation and jobbing soon commenced, and seemed likely to be carried to an enormous extent, as it had been upon previous similar occasions, and doubtless would have been now if there had been no opposing barrier. The capitalist, however, turned to the new Bank Act, and there found that the power of the Bank of England to issue 'notes upon securities was limited to 14,000,0002, and that the circulation of country banks was also brought within strictly defined bounds. Following the provisions of tho Act, he referred to the published statement of the Bank of England, and ascertained that they had already issued upon securities the mq.rimum amount of 14,000,0001., the remainder of their issue, viz., 13,731,9101., being upon Fold and silver, forming a total of bank-notes from the Issue department of the Bank of 27,731,5101. The next inquiry naturally was, what means remained with the Bank to grant assistance in the event of public emer gency; and upon further reference to the published ac counts, it appeared that of the notes put forth by the issue department there remained in the banking depart ment 6,648,6651., which, with 458,172/. in coin, together 7,106,8371., was the total amount of unemployed money at the disposal of the Bank, and that no further issue of notes could be made, except in exchange for gold and silver. Under these circumstances, every capitalist carefully considers the engagements he contracts—money becomes more closely guarded—is not Parted with for protracted periods, nor to assist speculation, and the evils which were evidently arising are arrested in time. " The country circulation has not been alluded to in detail, the circumstances attending it not being material to this brief investigation, and not at all altering the considerations presented. From those considerations it seems evident that the new Act is working beneficially as a precautionary measure ; that although it may oc casionally make money dearer and tighter,' it will ope rate at once ;von speculative and ephemeral undertakings, and leave the circulation undiminished to the legitimate transactions of trade, for which at present at least it is amply sufficient. " The home trade is in a state of prosperity. In despite of foreign restrictions, our .manufacturers are employed to the extent of their power in supply ing the home demand, and prospects aro favourable. As regards our colonies, there is also a dawn of better things for them, and they appear destined soon to emerge from the depression under which they have so long suffered. There seems to be no doubt it is the intention of Government to propose to Parliament a loan of 1,500,000/. for the West lathes (upon the same principle as that formerly granted to Canada), for the purpose of introducing an extensive supply of economi cal and effective labour, and after the measure of last session, some essential relief is imperatively demanded. At Mauritius they have already obtained a greater num ber of effective labourers than the colony possessed be fore slave emancipation, and the result would soon be apparent in their production of sugar, which this year will probably reach 45,000 tons, or 15,000 tons more than that of the last two years. The West IndieuVwith the pro jected assistance from Government, will equally be en abled very considerably to increase their praduce ; but with the augmented supply of sugar, consumption must be fostered, or the measure will be incomplete and abor tive. By the official accounts to the 10th of October, the consumption in the United Kingdom appears to base exceeded that to the same period in 1843 by 3,700 tons ; but as far as can be ascertained it has fallen off since then, and now only shows an insignificant excess of about 1,500 tons. The consumption can only be perma nently assisted by such a diminution of duty as will bring the price within the reach of all, and put an end to that fraudulent admixture and adulteration which now exists to an extent exceeding all credibility, and is equally de structive to the revenue, the planter, and the consumer. Apart from all other considerations, the interest of the consumer unquestionably calls for the redaction; it must, however, be no half measure ; 10s. per cwt.. is spoken of as the intended concession, thereby making the duty 15s. per cwt. ; but nothing less than a reduction of the duty to a penny per lb., will have the desired effect at once of protecting and relieving the consumer, annihi lating fraud, encouraging the colonies, and infusing stability and confidence into this important branch of trade."— Times. The new Houses of Parliament (now in progress) were estimated to cost 700,000/., but have already cost a million, though but half built. Thursday the half-yearly court of that old-esta blished institution, the British Lying-in Hospital for Married Women, in Brownlow-street, Long-acre, was held, at which Mr. Edward Ward presided, Doctors IL Davies and Lee and other governors being present ; when it appeared that the relief afforded to the class of poor married women usually seeking the aid of the charity had been of the most effective kind, both as to in and out-door patients, and that the only regret to be en tertained was that neither the subscribers in point of number, nor the funds of the institution in point of amount, had permitted the admission to the full extent of that respectable but por class of women invariably seek ing its valuable assistance. It was, however, pleasing to those taking an interest in the charity to contemplate that by the improvements commenced and in progress in its immediate neighbourhood under the Acts for Metro. politan Improvements, the buildings of the institution (its own freehold property) will soon become so advan tageously situate as to warrant the anticipation of a great increase in its patronage. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Thursday forenoon an in quest was held before Mr. W. Carter, Coroner for East Surrey, and a jury, at the Globe, Regent-street, Lam beth, on the body of Sarah King, aged 85, for many years a well-known mendicant in Lambeth, who was supposed to have died from starvation. The deceased had for the last four years occupied an attic at No. 99, East-street, which since her death has been locked up by the parish authorities, and the key having been mis laid, on the jury going with the Coroner to view the body, the door had to be burst open. The scene which then presented itself was of the most appalling descrip tion. The room contained scarcely a vestige of furni ture, not a particle of food, and was in the most filthy condition. On the floor lay the body of the deceased co vered with the rags she usually wore, her couch being formed of an old mattress, and her pillow of potatoe peel ings. Johannah Pumrning had known deceased for twelve years. She had been a mendicant about Lambeth for many years, and was most eccentric in her habits. Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon of We4uesday a young woman living in deceased's ,house came and told witness something was the matter, and on going to her room she found her on the floor with her head lying under the. table. She was quite sensible, but was unable to speak or take some hot coffee which was offered her. Mr. Wagstaff, one of the parish surgeons, attended on being sent for, and tried to administer medicine, but she could not take it, and died at seven o'clock the same evening. Mr. Matthew French Wagstaff, one of the parish sur geons of St. Mary, Lambeth, deposed to being t c s a h ll e ed w i a n s to see deceased on the d a y in q uestion, and that lying on the floor apparently paralysed, and in a dying state. lie had since death examined the body. It was generally healthy, but there was serous fluid in the veins and ventricles of the brain, and the same appearances iu the region of the head and pericardium. There was the appearance of very little food in the stomach ; but, taking all the circumstances into consideration, it was his opinion that death had been occasioned by the accumu i lation of the serous fluid alluded to. Verdict, " Died from natural causes." The Government' have appointed Mr. Erie to suc ceed Mr, Justice Erskine on the bench of the Common Pleas, a selection that does the highest credit to Sir R. Peel, though it is only an illustration of his frequently declared sentiments on judicial patronage. Mr. Erie was Solicitor-General under the Government of Lord Melbourne during the few weeks intervening between the elevation of Lord Campbell to the Irish Chancellor ship and the resignation of that Ministry. In making this appointment, therefore, Sir Robert Peel could hive no object except to choose the man fittest for the office. He has consulted the public advantage, and not the nar row interest of the party. It will be well recollected, that Sir Robert Peel, when Home Secretary under the Liverpool Administration, also departed from the cus tomary routine of official arrangements, and successively appointed Lord Corehouse, Lord Fullerton, and Lord Moncrieff, to the Scottish bench, and all for their supe rior fitne ;s, as shown by the public confidence reposed in them at the bar. We are aware, that at that period, and after the appointment of Mr. Irving (the second Lord Newton, and one of the soundest lawyers that ever sat on the bench), which succeeded that of Lord Core house, the Tory ranks had been so thinned as to leave really none eligible without throwing a slur both on the office and the individual who obtained it, while those of the opposite party presented a phalanx of eminent men ; still when we know how judicial offices have been lite rally jobbed at various times, Sir Robert Peel deserved not the less credit for those distinguished exceptions.— Caledonian Mercury. • . FOREIGN CATTLE. — Great quantities of cattle con tinuo to, be imported into th 7 s country from the conti• nent, a considerable number arrivir g every week by the steamers from Holland, &c. The lititch;; eam-ship 13a tsvier, which arrived at the St. Katherine s steam-wharf on Wvndesday afternoon, from Rotterdam, had no !css than sixty head of horned cattle on board, of superior quality, and in excellent condition, in addition to several packages of poultry of various kinds, and a - number of baskets of Dutch potatoes, which were 'landed without delay and cleared for the London markets. The cattle brought from Holland are generally of good quality and in fine condition, and are superior to those impOrted f:om any of the other continental states.

" We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left' such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors Of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

The ninth of November is a day marked with a white stone, in the annals of London, but this morn ing exhibited anything but a fair appearance for the lovers of this great annual pageant. From an early hour the rain fell heavily, and Guildhall-yard pre sented a testudo of umbrellas. In the interior of the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Watkins and the Com mittee were actively engaged in the course of the morning forwarding the preparations, not forgetting, of course, an elegant dejeuner in the Council-room, to view which a consi derable number of ladies and gentlemen were admit ted by ticket. At a little past. ten the Lord Mayor ' arrived in the state coach, accompanied by the Town clerk, mace and sword bearers, and proceeded to the Painted-room, where most of the civic func tionaries were in waiting to receive him. At twelve . o'clock it was announced that the procession was duly formed from the door of the Guildhall into Gresham street, when the Lord Mayor, attended by the municipal officers entered his coach, and the proces sion moved forward, amid the ringing of bells and other demonstrations of city festivity. The Guild hall-yard was kept perfectly clear; no one being ad mitted except by tickets, which of course prevented any demonstration of feeling at the outset, the crowd being kept away by a bar rier at the end of Gresham-street, and, there fore, unable to appreciate the very apposite motto, which was emblazoned with the Lord Mayor's arms, on a temporary and somewhat magnificently meagre structure, in the front of the Guildhall door way, the motto was " Tenax Propositi," an assump tion, we suppose, from -Irorace's celebrated ode, Justum et tenacem propo.si rirurn," Sc.c. Among the equipages, . none struck .us as PROGRESS OF THE PROCESSION. After the procession left the Mansion-house it moved up King William-street into Cannon-street, and thence turned into Walbrook, where, notwith standing all the exertions used by the police to keep the way clear, the whole line of the street was densely thronged, more especially in the vicinity of the church of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, where an immense crowd was assembled, who hooted the Lord Mayor lustily and heartily. Some of the inhabitants of the street, namely those in about every fifth house, seemed rather more favourable, and those at the windows attempted to get up manifesta tions of applause, which could • alone be seen by the waving of handkerchiefs, as their cheers were drowned in the music of the brags bands and the hootings of those below. At the lower end of Cannon-street, a rope was drawn across the street, from which was suspended an immense flag, with the motto" Honour and virtue will finally triumph:: This banner seemed- to be the rallying point round which the malcontents rallied, and, certainly, when his Lordship passed under this flag, the assembled multitude gave him anything but a satisfactory inti mation of their perception of the appositeness of the compliment intendedly the motto. But the grand focus of all the manifestations of disapprobation seemed to be the vicinity of St. Stephen's Church, Walbrook. when sundry allusions to " churchwardens' acts," " close vestries," " tarenty-three years stewardship," &c., formed the staple of the compliments addressed to his Lordship. On a few of the houses in the ward of St. Stephen's Walbrook flags were exhibited ; and here there were also some manifestations of ap plause, by waving of hats, &c., from a few persons is the crowd ; but, on the whole, this seemed to be the locality selected fox the exhibition of the .strongest t feelings against the; Lord Maybe. Immediately.pre ceding3he Lord Mayor's state coach, was one in which was seated Sir Magnay, the ex-Lord Mayor; who was loudly cheired by the crowd , under the flags, and assembled around St. Stephen's Church. The procession passed from Walbrook into the Poultry, and thence turned down Queen-street to Southwark-bridge, where preparations were made for the embarkation of his Lordship and those other members of the Corporation who were to accompany him in state to. Westminster. Along the Poultry and Queen-street the same manifestations of disap probation were exhibited by the multitude assem bled, but at the point of embarkation they seemed to have redoubled all their exertions to give him a parting " salute " before " taking the water." His Lordship sat rather back in the state carriage, and as far as we could observe, from the retiring position in which he was placed, seenfed rather pale, and much ,aotated. In no one instfince that We could perceive„except once or twice in passing through ilretlbrook, when he was rather warmly applauded by some ladies, who were sta tioned at the windows of the houses, and who for a considerable time after the state carriage passed, con- tinued waving their handkerchiefs, did his Lordship seem to take the slightest notice of the feeling exhi bited by the spectatora. THE RIVER. Very few small boats accompanied the state barges to Westminster, and these were mostly the property of watermen, who had let out the seats in 'them 'to those desirous of viewing the pageant on old Father Thames. Several steam-boats, decorated with flags, on the decks of which there were numbers of respec tably dressed people, sailed in the neighbourhood of the City barges. There were also ntunbers of people, on the bridges. The - Lord Maya Met with a warmer reception on the Thames than on terra firma. SWEARING IN OF THE LORD MAYOR. The ceremony of swearing in the new Lord Mayo r took place, bef ore the Chief Barons of the Court of Exchequer. Shortly after half -past one o'clock, the City Re membrancer entered the Court. He was followed by the sword bearer, who ushered in the . Lord Mayor. His Lordship was accompanied by Sir William Magnay, Bart., the late - Lord Mayor, , the Recorder, Aldermen Brown, Farncombe, Thomas Wood, and Challis, ^ and by the Sheriffs, and three members of the Common Council,' besides the ordi nary number of officers of the Corporation. The RECORDER then presented the Lord Mayor in the usual form, and expatiated on his fitness for the office to which he had been elected. _ The LORD CHIEF BARON having shortly replied, the Lord Mayor was sworn in. His Lordship then invited the Judges to the ban quet in the Guildhall in the evening, and afterwards proceeded to the other Courts to invite the re mainder of the Judges. The procession then returned by water, and landed at Black friars -bridge. TIIE DINNER. In the evening, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs gave the accustomed entertainment at Guildhall, on the usual scale of splendour. The arrival of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was hailed by those assembled within the Hall by demonstrations of the greatest cordiality. Sir James Graham was also loudly cheered. Mr. Justice Erle, the newly-appointed Judge, was received with three distinct rounds of applause.
