The streets leading in and oat of the City have been the
scene of great bustle and excitemen.. Scarcely a thorough-
fare hes bees without its bead of music, or of strolling
" Nigger " minstrels and acrobats. Bat greatest of all
ware our friends the " patterers," who are never at a lots
to attune music and poetry to the event, of the day. The
songs found not only as andicnce, bet ready purchasers.
Is one of t►em we dad the following lament :
Away they go, the high and low,
Such glorious dalits was never teen,
But still the London Lord Mmot's Show
Is not as it has former teen,
When old Dick Whlttinatca was Mayor,
Andowr forefath, es used to go,
They bad not got no melers there,
To guard great London Lord Mayor's show.
