Sts RICHARD /LYNN AND TIC CITY AUTHORITIN&
—This morning vu returned to parliament a letter from
Sir Richard Mayne to the Home Secretary, dated April 24,
giving a narrative, from his point of view, of the arrange-
meats, negotiations, ha., which preceded the entry of the
Princess Alexandra into the metropolis. He states that on
the 28th of February he told a deputation from the Royal
Reception Committee of the City, that if they chose to
follow the royal carriages after passing Temple Bar, arrange-
ments should be made to keep the route open ; but this
offer was met by an indignant refusal, and an asenrance that
the Lord Mayor could not appear anywhere but in front q
the royal earrhiges. His offer to send metropolitan police
to keep free from obstruction the small part of Chancery-
lane that is within the City and the part of Fleet-street
from Temple Bar to Chancery•buie, was not accepted.
" I am quite certain," he says, "that it never
was mentioned by the deputation, nor at any time that
I heard of before the 7th of March, that if the civic
promotion were not allowed to go beyond Temple Bar, there
would be such an additional congregation of people in the
streets as to cause any danger, or grvttly to biomes the
difficulty of securing the uninterrupted purge of the pro-
-0.01042. All to whom I spoke respecting the pollee *nerve-
manta within the City snared me that they were so much
aoeutemed to great penmen in the City, that there would
be no difficulty is naameging that of the 7th March." After
giving the results of his personal observation of the panne
of the procession through the City, Sir Richard Mayne roe•
eludes with saying :—" No blame appears to me attribat.
able to the City police for their failures ; the occasion wholly
surpassed their powers, and the multi might have been
I expected."
