OUR LONDON COMPANIES.—Out of the 82 co 00
panics which still struggle to keep their heads 000
water, there are only a few that may be termed workilif;
companies, or companies still possessing trade privilege°'
There is the Goldsmiths' Company, which still possess the
A
right of assaying all the gold and silver manufactured, and
of stamping on these metals the hall mark; the Apothei
caries, who sell drugs in their hall, and possess the right
~
entering shops within their jurisdiction and testing f°'
adulterations ; the Stationers, who claim a certain super
intendence over the booksellers ; and the Painter-stainers,t
company at the present moment exhibiting some spascaetli°
action in the way of an exhibition of works of their oraffs4
men ; and finally, the Gunsmiths, who possess the privilege
of trying all the London-made guns. Beyond these,
companies mainly maintain their existence on good dinner°
loving cups, and the power of giving good things aWaY.
eluding twelfth-night cakes to themselves annually, has e
some fees for attendance, and certain old ceremonies in
manner of the election of their officers, which we eh
allude to presently —healthy exercises these, calculated iv
extend their longevity to an indefinite period. Of cotit°,e
there are very few veritable tradesmen to be found aca°l3:
them ; for instance, the mercers, that stand first aul°,l3;
the twelve great companies, cannot count a single rseew"ii
of the craft among its livery I What pretence the Bova°,
and the Fletchers have had to call themselves a trot':
except it be that of toy-makers, since the days of at tlO
Bess, we caannot tell. About the beginning of/
Stuart period, perhaps the London eoraPatiiii
were in the most flourishing condition. Certaitti
the entertainments they gave to princes were magnifica;
Their sideboards abounded with curious plate, their
and gardens were on a scale of great magnificence, an
they formed the centres of little communities, to Wil,
they diffused their bounty. The City halls had attach 0
to them granaries, well stored, in case of a dearth of c°roo
in the City—a very common occurrence, as but little 10
grown in the country, and we had mainly to depend o°oo
that imported from abroad. The corn-metage dtitLeg
levied to this day, is a remnant of the privileges attaeh''a
to these City granaries. Depots of coal were also attaebee
to the various halls, to be given in hard seasons to the r 5,
—and, finally, the almshouses of the craft were asselow
around them, in which dwelt their almsmen, svh° here
called upon to swell the pageants of their companies oil 0
grand occasions. The liveries of the crafts in early daYO ere
so bright that they must have made a sight more like 0 ;
we read of in Italian history than such as we fled anitTro
Englishmen now-•a-days.. . . When the walls no
rebuilt—and it is wonderful with what alacrity this °T,A
done, all the companies occupying their new houses, P.-011
going on as of old, within three years of the calamity
made a clean sweep of the City—it was done in the n°oo
and formal style of the period ; and there is not one oft ibths
now existing, in the many out-of-the-way corners 10
City, that in way recalls the ancient glories of these f'o3°
trading guilds.—Once a Week,.
