LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

According to annul custom, the citizen. of London
east of Temple Bar were todsy summoned to the streets to
witness the Lord bleyor's Show. Of late years there
has bees a strong disposition to throw ridicule upon the
groat eivis pageant, and to stigmatise it at a piece of anti-
quated barbarism, which in modem times serve. co other
impose than to obstruct the testae of the lead-
ing arteries of the City, or to facilitate the open-
I time of pickpookete. The Corporation of London,
however, are a tough and powerful body, slow to
surrender any of their easiest rights, and great
atisklan for forma and eseamoalre ; so that, although
ebonies have been from tits to time introduced into the
November imbibition, to bring It mote in mond-
ani, with the notions sad tastes of the petted,
the idea of altogether abaadosiog it hat
bees seriously entertained. But, besides the usual prrja•
din of the earporatioa against reform, there is the stranger
feeling of tradition to support the oat door observances of
Lord Mayor's day. The multitude like it, and there are note
few who would regard the total abolition of the show as
mach is the light of a violation of it ptiviltgee, as
would the manisipal fasetituaries sad parish potentates
who stars la its profits and balloon. The occasions of
idles and holidays In Laudon are bet so onoterons that the
popular* can afford to forego a single one, eves
though celebrated is the month of all the twelve
whisk it the lout appropriate for street emu, e-
mote. Last year, we should state, the show was de-
nuded of some of its easiest sad cumbrous proportioas, and
the saying in eost—some 2,oool.—was applied to chantabi.
PurPelic

la addition to the abmarditise of the show, thereto another
anomaly &Misdeal epos the inauguration of the Lord
Mayor; his lordship las to take so Mee than Mum sets of
oaths before three datlnct tribunals: first, before the Lord
Chancellor, this before the Court of Aldermen, and lastly,
before the Court of Rzebequer ; the two latter mummies
foreleg t►e edema portlos of the dsy's proomdinar. The
celebration of Lord Mayor's day, however, is, vulgarly
spanking, au affair of the stomach. The day begins with •
•emptaose breakfast, musses to an elegant lusahmn, acd
terminahre la a migniflceat banquet.
Title morning, of all stonier is the year, the °facial' of
Ito Mauston Home were early astir. Footmen, beefeaters,
watering., pipe, and ales is wear—wen anal.ty
upon the mossestou point—the weather. The day broke
dear sad Aso, patting every body la the beet of humours ;
bat ere breakfast was disposed of then were indicatiors of
missed fog. The alarm was soariely mere than momentary;
fan fell jet in aufilelest quantities to reader the streets
greasy and disagreeable to the lackeys who figured in the
proomMos afoot, radiant in thin shoos sad pink suckium.
Breakfast disposed of, the Lord Mayor, attended by a
while retinue of °Helots, isteladlng t►e Sheriffs, areordir,
ctimacc Seegeast, City Olumberlals, Tows Mork, Mmes•
