He whir Rio nubly fought awl bled ;
Who has such vsliant feats schiev'd ;
Your wrongs resented—your fears rdiesil
Yet, with the sormwing tear and sigh,
Think how a Cern/error ran die !
The %eery railed-01e laurels -won,
Give eplendoor to his setting sun !
Rich with his honours cmwn'd,
F..r brilliant virtues ton rinowii'd,
Envy might sire!y wilt to steal
What, dun„ such a soul must feel.
lie shall gild the historic page,
And shed a havoc on his age;
lame Shall unfold her faithful scroll,
Our Netron's triumphs to enroll.
While British Youths, with martial fiie,
To emulate his deeds aspire;
Rowed by the patriotic glow,
Will still duly the direat'aing foe.

ice barges, at Old Palace Yard, the procession
landed, and proceeded to Weinoinstes Hall in the
usual state. 'they then went iip to the Court of
Exchequer, which was crowded: with speaators,
and the Recorder presented the Lord Mayor Elea
to the Barons ; lie observed, the chstraßer of Mr.
Shaw stood high in the estimatioa ofthe Citizens,
his loyalty had hitherto proved, that be had a
sincere regard for our Constitutiots! Which, under
the peculiar blessings of Prnvideostx. bad be-
come the admiration of the world. i,porn his com-
mercial pursuits, he was also considered a fit person
to protea the privileges of the Citizens, by whom
he had been eleaed to fill the office of Chief Magi-
`Orate. The Recorder then adverted to the rnerito-
rinus condud of the late Lord Mayor, while in the
Civic Chair, • and coastiadeds•witia abeervissi, that
'the venerable Magistrate had retired from his office
With the approbation of his own conscience, and the
applause of his fellow-citizens.
The Lord Chief Baron said, he addresed (speak-
ing to the new Lord Mayor) a man well known for
his attachment to the Constitution, and one whose
wish it was to support those laws;en which our
happiness depended. The race of Chief Magi-
stiate of the City was one of considerable import-
ance, and he would deliver a few observations on
the suhjeit, which then occurred to him. Exulta-
tion was never exalted to so high a pitch as at
present; oar late viaory was a glorioos one,
and the name and memory of Lord Nelson
would be for ever engraved on the memory of the
country. We had formerly two enemies to coo.
tend with, an internal, and an external one ; the
former enemies were the most dangerous, as their
machinations were unseen, and the principles of
the government were• privately undermined. Thir-
teen years since, he had en opportunity, from his
publie situation, to be acquainted with the state of
the cOttntry, and he was sensible, at that period,
eiedditional security was afforded to the Constitution,
by the worthy Civic Mag",etrate, Sir James Sander-
son. Others had since succeeded, whose efforts had
been zealously ezened for the public good ; and he
trusted his Lordship would be added to the valu-
able list. He concluded by observing, that the coo-
stitutioral efforts at the Magistracy, aided by the co.
operation of the Volunreers in arms, had effeaually
subdued the internal enemy ; and, he nutted, that
the late brilliant victory would excite that spit it of
ernulationatriongthe defenders of the country, which
would ettahle us equally to vanquish the external
enemy. He then complinioned eselate Lord Mayor.
for the petted state of traequiliitT, in which he re-
signed the guardianship of the city to his woithe
successor, and, after the (total formality, tie civil
magistrates retired.
The Lord Mayor and City Officers having retired,
they returned in their barges to filackfriars-bridge,
got into th:ir carriages, and, at the corner of Fleet.

of the Judges, Ire. The carriage of Mr. Pitt, acme

TIIE STATIONERS' COMPANY.
The Stationers' Company tosemlaled at their Hall,
at eleven o'clock, and breakfasted on English roast
beef. About half past twelve, they lett the Hall,
and marched in procession, with colours flying, the
Band playing Rae Brame/We ; they proceeded by
Avemaria-laite,.Ludgatehi I, Bridge-street, Earl-
street, and took water at. Paul's Wharf, in Thames-
street. The Company's huge had been newly de-
corated for the occasion, and I inked very splendid ;
the figures and ornaments were newly gilt, and thee'
other parts were tresh painted, and varnished.
When the barge moved off, the nmeec commenced
playing, and the Company were saluted ty repeated
discharges of cannon from the neighbouring wharfs.
The barge then ptoceeded through the centre are!s
of Black-friars bridge, repassed tr, 'tad wane l till
the Loh Mayor had embarked. The whole of the
Companies on the river then attended his Lord,hp
to Westminster-ball ; as soon as he had landed, the
