THE CITT CORPORATION AT A DISOOVNT.—Year
after year the difficulty increases of inducing public men to
be present at these festivals, and few besides minor shop-
keepers swell the promiscuous ruck at the tables. That the
leading men of the City should invariably be absent is a
fact as significant as it u incontrovertible, and It reveals the
general opinion with which the corporatiou has come to be
regarded. He taxes sad its dues, its slowness to correct
abuses, it' reluctance to depart from old forms, however
mischievous in their tendency, its extravagance in purely
selfi.h objects. and its impassibility to the duties which the
age regains of it, have raised up Ineradicable prejudices
against it, and the day cannot be far distant when the re-
form it reftuwa to carry out for itself will be forced upon it
by the Hove of Commons. There is no reason why the
wealthiest cite in the world should not recover the position
to which its importance entitles it, soil which it never
would have lost but for mismanagement sad displays of
meantime, appropriately illustrated by the preposterous ac.
libidos of Saturday last. —London Rericor.
