LORD MAIOR'S DAY.

Thursday!morning, at cleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor
elect, and the late Lord Mayor, uviller with the She-
riffs Waithinan and Williams, Alderman Wood, and
several other Menibers of the Corporation, assembled at
Guildhall, in their different robes of office ; the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs went in their state carriages, after
taking breakfast in one of the private rooms. 'f he day
was uncommonly fine and favourable for giving effect to
the gorgeous display of civic grandeur, and the crowds
that assembled to see the" Lord Mayor's Show," in va-
rious parts of the Metropolis were immense.
At about ,half-past one they went on board their dif-
ferent state barges at Blackfriar's Bridge, The City
barge was in waiting to receive the Lord Mayor. They
proceeded up the river with colonts flying and music
playing, and, from the fineness of the day, the aquatic
procession made a beautiful appearance, the hanks,
bridges, and stairs that commanded a view of the 'Jo-
cession, being crowded with spectators. On the arrival
of the Companies in their respective barges at Old Pa-
lace Yard they landed and proceeded on foot to West-
minster Hall in the usual state ; they then went up to
the Court of Exchequer, where the Lord Mayor was
presented in due form.
Having gone through the usual forms, they visited
the several Courts of Law, and invited the Judges to
dinner. The Procession returned by water to 'slack-
(vats', where they landed, and entered their carriages,
and proceeded to Guildhall to dinner, accompanied by
a long siring of carriages from the west end of the town,
which joined them at the end of Fleet-market. The
new Lord Mayor was cheered all the way, whilst the
late Lord Mayor was hissed and hooted. The hor'es
were taken from the carriage of Mr. Alderman \Vood
in Bridge-street, and he was drawn by the people,
amidst the hearty greetings of the immense crowds that
were assembled along Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Church-
yard, Cheapside, to Guildhall. The pickpockets mus-
tered strong, and committed many depredations upon
sitar unwary.

THE DINNER.

Guildhall, where Inc superb banquet was given,
exhibited a display of heavy grandeur and city taste. It
was laid out as on former occasion, but the glare of the
innumerable gas lights rather fatigued than gratified the
eye, while the heat was very oppressive. Every thing
was in accordance to inquess the company with an idea
of city wealth and English hospitality. The arrange-
ment of the tables was excellent to show off the dinner to
advantage, and to 6ive full effect to the appropriate de-
vices represented in confectionary. The pride of the
feast, the baron of beef and a stupendous plum pudding,
were neither forgotten nor neglected. The eastern sec-
tion of the tables, which was elevated above the rest,
was appointed for the accommodation of the most dis.
tinginshed visitors, but neither the Ministers nor loreign
Ambassadors were present. Political feeling probably
prevented the former from partaking of the festivities of
the day, and eliquelte occasioned the absence of several
others.—The other tables were placed lengthways from
east to west, decorated with temples, trinmphal arches,
allegories of commerce, floc. military and naval trophies,
and the inspiring names of British heroes. At the east
end over the Lend Mayor's chair was a magnificent
crown, which had a splendid effect. The pannels of
the hustings were covered with crimson cloth, and the
moulding along the Hall was hung with rich drapery.
Bes'des the Hall, the Court of King's Bench and Coun-
cil Chamber were fitted tip in a corresponding manner.
The herald and putsuivant, in their costume, stood on
one side of the Hall, and the men in armour at the
extreme end. About six o'clock, between six and seven
hundred of both sexes sat down to a most excellent en-

tertainment. A military band was stationed in the
music gallery, which flayed several military and other
tunes during dinner. fhe toasts after dinner were an-
nounced from the chair by sound of trumpet.
The cloth being removed, several toasts were drank.—
On the health of the Queen being given, the Hall
resounded with acclamations. On the health of the
Lord Mayor being drank, he reiutned thanks ia a neat
anti appropriate speech. Other gentlemen returned
thanks on their health being drank, and the glass passed
merrily rottod.
Independently of the grand festival at Guildhall, all
the Companies gave entertainments at their respective
Halls; and the day, on the whole, throughout the
metropolis, was devoted to good eating and drinking.

ILLUMINATIONS FOR THE QUEEN.
On Ftidst evening, in consequence of the result of
the Queen's case, there was a very general demonstra-
tion of popular feeling.
At the approach of dusk, many of the inhabitants of
the west end of the town, adorned the windows with
festoons, candles, and lamps, &c. this also took place
in the ileii4hbourbood of Tottetiltam-court.road; at the
Blue Posts the landlord caused his house to be com-
pletely covered with flambeaux, and the windows with
candles, winch were lighted tip at 'link, and die house
at 1 distance appeared to be on lire; wen were stationed
on the ledges with pots of porter, and links in their
bands liuzzaing,.and their shouts were echoed Ly a vast
asseniblJge of persons to the street.
This example embed most of the inhabitants of that
neighbourhood to illiimittate their houses; crovids of
',topic went almiit iu various directions, calling " light
up," and the ca:ls were genet-Ally obeyed.
Bedford-iiinare, ox:6rd-sired, Tottenham-coon-road,
Great Itussel.strect, alit! u e surroilllullig neighbourhood
were brilliaiolv
Other parts of tile town were also illuminated, though
not generally. in the neOlhourliood of the :ii'vett
Duals and Saint (iiles's the inmost Confll.loll prevailed,
in consequence of numerous bonfires and fireworks.
Some of the windows exhibited tratisparencics, and
placards ihaeribtd, " The Queen Triouiphatit."

The Strand and the City were illuminated very gene-
rally. The different stage coaches were decorated, on
leaving London, with white favours on their horses'
brads and harness, the coachmen had them also in their
hats, and on their whips.
Durnig the evening the military paraded the streets,
and on their arrival at Temple Bar they were about to
enter the City, but were prevented by the proper autho-
rities without a due order; they were necessitated to
return, and confine themselves to marching backward
and forward the extent of the Strand. They received
the cheers of the populace as they passed along.
Placards were stuck ulxrn the shutters of The Courier
Oilier and Burns"catern, announcing that the Riot Act
had been read. This seemed to check the disposition
of the mob, who became very peaceable, and when this
account was written there was not the least likelihood
of further riot. The Strand notwithstanding was ex-
tremely crrowded by persons of every description, espe-
cially opposite The Port and Courier. At the com.
mencement of the riot many persons lost their hats and
shoes. On the arrival of several officers they attempted
to disperse the mob, who rallied upon them with much
fury, and eventually overpowered them.
One young man, we understand, received a dreadful
injury upon the head, from a blow he received from
one of the officers with a staff; the young man was
knocked senseless on the ground, and in that state eras
supported from the scene of cots Insion. The military
continued parading the Strand, and received the loud
cheers of the mob. We have not heard of ally acci-
dent. The Riot Acr was, we understand, read by Mr.
M inshull, of Bow-street.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Portsmouth, dated the 9th inst.:—
Last night arrived in Cowes Roads the American ship Ben.
gal, 55 days from the Straits of Sunda : she left lying in Sema-
rang Roads the ships Clandine and ilabdetr, for Europe, the
latter to sail about the middle of August. The country ship
Gotrgiana, Worthington, left Tangier, for the Isle of France
and Liverpool, the chi of August. The Dutch expedition against
Palembang, left Batavia ou the list July. consisting of one 7-b
rasee, one GO gun ship, three frigates, nine ship-sloops, about
too gun-vessels. and a large proportion of flat-boats, to disem-
bark troops—a number of British, and other vessels, had been
taken up to transport troops, stores, &e. The Dutch, having
been twice before defeated, doubts were entertained at Batavia
of their 6t,CCebS, partienlarly as it was well-known the Rah of
Palembang was well prepared to receive them. The Dutch
from want of energy or a sufficient force, had allowed the pirates
to go so long unehastised, that their ships and settlements. as
well as ships of other nations, were suffering every indignity.--
Tt e Malays were now so daring, that they fitted out single
prows of large dimensions to attack European ships ; formerly
they never thought of attacking unless a large fleet of their own
prows were in company. On the Nth of June the Dutch ship
Semarang, Capt. Jager, was attacked on the north side of Java,
to the east of Semarang, by a pirate prow; the successive attacks
lasted four hours, during which the Semarang lost her Captain
and one seaman killed, the chief mate and ten seamen wounded :
however, as night came on, the pirate was obliged to lay-to to
repair damages, hut with every intention of re-attacking in the
morning, when fortunately two sail appearing in sight, the
pirate made off. The &mammies crew consisted of the Captain,
Mate, Mr. John Gransdea, a passenger, and 31 Malay seamen,
who behaved extremely well. The Satnarang mounts six six.
pounders, besides swivels and small arms. A report was preva-
lent at Batavia, that a 11riti3h sloop of war had been twice at-
tacked in the Straits of Santa, by a fleet of the Malays' largest
prows, and had 105t49 men in-killed and wounded, but had gal-
lantly beat off the pirates. Our informant could not learn the
name of the British sloop. There were four outward-bound
Eastsladiamen in Tangier -Roads, when the Bengal sailed."

From the Columbian Republic, August 25.—The
Oronoco Courier contains a long official article on
the distribution of the public lands; it consists of '
fourteen articles, and determines the portion of land
which every offitxr, non-commissioned officer, and
soldier is to have. The Government of the Colum-
bian Republic have determined that every male shall
become a land proprietor, and the land is bestowed
without charge to the individual. The convention
for forming a new constitution, in the represen-
tative form, will assemble at Cucula, on the lst of
January, 1821. The Commandant of the frigate
Andes informs the General commanding at Choco,
that the Republican troops had attacked the Royal-
ists, commandul by Balvcide, in Guapy, Trombequi,
and Zaiga, and after having taken their Command-
ant and many prisoners, put them to the route; the
President, who had been preparing a flotilla, had
left with a small party of horse iu the night, on
some new expedition.

Letters and Gazettes have arrived from Naples to
the 18th ult. The Treaty concluded by General
Pepe with the citizens of Palermo was submitted to
the Parliament at Naples on the 14th, and rejected
unanimously by that body. The rejection is be-
lieved to accord with the popular feeling on that
subject. A Proclamation was in consequence issued
on the following day by the VicarGencral,declaring
it void and of no effect. Gen. Pepe was immediateiy
recalled from Palermo, and Colletto, with a force of
6,000 men, appointed to succeed him, and to reduce
the Palermitans to an unqualified submission. The
accounts from Palermo were of the 1 at which
period of continued in a tranquil state. The
citizens had so flu. fulfilled their share in the Con-
vention as to surrender the fiats and batteries,
together with all their Neapolitan prisoners. No
attempt had been made, however, to disa.la the
Sicilians, who remained, thcrclhre, in a state suffi-
ciently
figmidable for the recommencement of hostile
operations. lt remains to be seen how .4.ltr Naples
will consent tol receive benefit from the stipu-
/at of a Treaty, the final aatilication of which is
refuscd Ly the I'a la:
