NEW CITY OFFICERS.

Yesterday the inauguration of Lord Mayorlad
Sheriffs fur the ensuing year took place, with the
ushal. pomp and ceremonies. About half-past two
o'clftek the city authorities went in state to the
Castle, where Alderman John Smith Fleming, was
swop in Lord Mayor, and invested with the insignia
of office by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.
The procession proceeded afterwards to the Ses-
sions House, where H. Cooper and J. Thorpe,
E•grs. were sworn in High Sheriff., and Gabriel
Whistler, Esqr. Sob-Sheriff.
The equipagei of oar new Chief Malistrlfte.and
Sheriffs display mods elegance, combined with
taste and judgment, and were all built by Sheriff
Cooper.

Ti,, Lord Mayor's (a landau), the body a eery
rift; k purple, bordering on black—the'cartiageli
dark brown, picked out with scarlet, displaying a
pleasing contrast, the haarmercloth drab, with
propriate fringe, and the arose embroidered on the
ends; the c►ty and 'family arms on the'body were
moat admirably executed ; the motto, "Bares
infafia."
Sheriff Cooper's—the body same colour as the
Lela Mayer's—motto, 442'ros Tyra,' ;" the car-
riage a dark blue.

Sheriff Tborpe's--the body a dark chocolate co.
lour, with crimson hatumercloth—motto, ~ Nolo
snort quail fuedari."
The liveries of euch are powder blue, with silver
Lice and purple breeches; the horses were deco.
rated with crianon ribbons.

.From the good sense in landibly manifested by
Ott new officers in discarding from their equipages
all emblems of party, we are led to hope that in the
discharge of the important duties attached to their
high offices, the new Laid Mayor and Sheriffs sltll
be *equated by a sincere road well-directed atibitiou
for the public welfare
t''lnsetlier to shield,
Their country's liberties, their etruistri's law,"
and by an ',rota desire to promote she comfort,
and afford relief so the nemetons poor and noels-
poured mechanics of this city.
