viral soldiers belonging to both of the above regimenta again
met, and the disturbance was renewed. The parties were
separated, and a regimental picket wan sent for. Several
soldiers both of the Guards and of the 87th regiment were
taken into custody and carried off to barracks. One soldier
of the Coldstream Guards having, as it appeared, used
some insulting expressions to two privates of the Human,
on the previous evening, were attacked by the crowd, and
narrowly escaped a beating. The origin of the quarrel
between the Guards and the 87th is said to have been
the removal of the latter regiment from their quarters
to the Royal Barracks, in order to make room for the
Coldetreans Guards. Orders have been issued that the
offending parties on both sides be confined to barraoks.

COST OP THE MAYORALTY DINNER, 1861.
Although we heir et.ery season that the mayoralty
festivities are to be on a sWe of unpumiented grandeur,
yet a comparison of the expenditures of a serial of years
will show that a fixed amount of somewhat lees then
3,0001. is the prevailing cost of the Lord Mayor's preces-
sion and dinner on the 9th of November. In 1861, the
total of all expenses incurred for pageant and feast was
2,9031. 13s. fl& Tang the particulars in the fader of
time, downtime cost 7331. 1.45. 01,d. ; and in this NUM the
items of chief interest are-hire of evergreens, 257. ; gas,
1201. ; hire of looking•slesess, 221. 10s. ; hire of Copelend's
famous Mar (Dow as metitstios in Colllllliino with the festi-
val), 521. 10s. ; upholstery, 1491. 16s. 9d. ; figures and
painting in the hall (bygenton), 2191. ss. ; Prime of.
Wales's feather (soother institution), 35/. ; winds, 171.
Printing and stationery oust 841. 15e. Bd.-the two prin-
cipal items being 35/. for the dinner tickets, and 46/. 15s. 2d.
for bills of fan and books of songs and decorations. The
statuary is always a small, but meat effective outlay. Pay-
meat. to tee sculptors summated to only 251.65. fid., and
high art Mid its place ate cheaper rate thin any other of
Unessential elements of the festival. The procession is
entered at 3451. ss. 9d., but this was not the whole cost;
for in the miscellaneous budget are several charges per-
tainieg to it, as 21. 2a. for the immortal '• four moo on the
roof," 21. 2s. the Lord Mayor's beadle, ends few other items
already included under the head of decorations. But taking
the sum as stated, we find it includes 21!. for the band of the
'Coldstream', 101. for the band of the C'entral London
211. fur the London Rifle Brigade baud, 26/. for the band
of the L 0114013 Militia, and a gratuity (not pay) of 10/. 10s.
for the baud of the mounted Life Guards. Men is armour

personages, but perhaps justified in the lessee a medieval

to the amount of 33!. his. 91. ; gravel for the
streets wet IS/. fie. ; bell-ringing, 151. 15e. ; and

sidered, there was plenty of show and music for lees
than 3501. The general expenditure amounted to 1431.
' 12e. Rd. ; sad in these disbursements there are few that
lased be specialised. Padlocks cost 1!. 1.., though who or
what was secured by them we do not know. Were they
for the tongues of say aline-radicals, surreptitiously is-
aided to the feast ? Men to take are of cold provisions
I for the poor were paid 4/. ss. ; the charwomen divided

foe cutlery, sad deserves praise that his knives were
sharp ; perfumery amousted to 16!. 3a. 2d., and sixty-
two serenade' tickets cost the enormous sum of 121. Me.
Add to this, payment to Grenadier Guards, quadrille
band, trumpeters, and 'mediate for the music in the Hall,
