PROCLAMATION OF KING WILLIAM IV.

AT BATH".

TO. THE EDITOR OZ THE SUN.

Sir,—.Loving, as every man must do, the place in which he first
drew breath, I feel proud in recording an act of my native city,
which redounds highly to its credit, and affinds an example wor.
thy of imitation. I allude tct,the manifestation of loyalty and
affection in the city of Bath on the proclamation of our Gracious
Sovereign this day. The ceremony commenced at twelve o'clock,
when our worthy and public spirited Chief Magistrate, J. H. Spry,
FAq., (whose conduct has so Justly obtained for him the regard of
his fellow citizens,) left the Guildhall, preceded by the Sheriffii,
Chief Constables,
and other public officers in their carriages;
the Boys of the Blue Coat School, and the North Somersetshire
Yeomanry, with their excellent band, and followed by a numerous
cortege of carriages, horsemen, &c.
The Town Clerk having read the Proclamation at the ap-
pointed places, which occupied about three hours, the procession
returned to the Guildhall, where, with the wonted liberality of
our Corporation, an elegant collation had been prepared, of which
between 200 and 300 ladies and gentlemen partook. Never was
the demonstration of public feeling more general ; although the
rain fell in torrents yet the streets were literally choaked up with
spectators, exceeding in number anything which has been ever
witnesiedhere, they extended in all directions,
" As when the mighty Nile its bounds o'erleaps,
" And o'er the plains with awful grandeur sweeps."
Regardless of the inclemency of the weather I observed in the
procession the most distinguished individuals of our city, amongst
whom were Lord and Lady Bolton and Lord and Lady Duncan;
but it would be invidious, on this occasion, to particularize any,
so anxious did every one, from the highest to the lowest, appear
to evince their respect for the August Personage who has
succeeded to the throne. After the conclusion of the ceremony,
strong beer was distributed profusely amongst the populace, and
" God save King William" resounded from the corner of every
street.

The grenteit praise is due to our respected Mayor for the ad.
minable arrangements madeby him on this occasion. The strictest
order prevailed throughout, and, up to this moment, I have not
heard of a single accident having occurred among the dense mass
of people assembled to witness this imposing ceremony. Trusting
you will allow this a place in your deservedly popular Journal,
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Bath, Thursday Evening, July 1. PHILAN ni BONO.
