THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

(From the York Chronicle of Thursday.)

Yesterday, soon after two o'clock, the Right
Hon. Lord Brougham and Vacs, Lord High Chan-
cellor of Great Britain, arrived in this city, to re-
ceive the freedom of York, which was voted to
him on the 15th of January last, at a meeting of
the Corporation.—A procession consisting of a band
of music, banners, flags, &c. met the Learned Lord
xin the Mount, without Micklegate Bar; a large
concourse of people were waiting for him, and re-
ceived him with enthusiastic cheering. His Lord-
ship was accompanied in his carriage by the lion.
E. R. Petre, (late Lord Mayor.) The procession,
among which was a number of highly respectable
gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, having
been formed, it set off towards the city, in-
creasing in number every moment. Amongst the
flags displayed were a handsome green silk one,
inscribed " Peace ;" another, n dark blue one,
ornamented w;th orange rosettes, )aith the in-
scription " Long Live King William IV. ;"
third, pale blue, inscribed " We will persevere and
conquer" ; another, pale blue, inscribed " The
Cause of Liberty and Independence ;" one flag
was inscribed, " Brougham, the Fi iend of Re-
form ;" &c. &c. The cavalcade proceeded down
Micklegate, across the bridge, though Spurriergate
and Coney-street, towards the Guildhall. The
windows throughout the line of procession were
filled with elegantly dressed females, waving hand-
kerchiefs, Sz.c. The bells of the cathedral and other
churches were rung, and the day being fine, gave
an animation to the scene truly imposing. The
Noble Lord was received by the Lord Mayor, Al-
dermen, &c. in their scarlet robes and the members
of the Common Council in their gowns. In a few
moments the body of the Hall was completely filled;
and the business of the presentation then com-
menced, and was not concluded when our paper was
put to press.

The box, in which was inclosed the. admission to
the freedom, is made of wood from the celebrated
oak tree at Cowthorpe, new Wetherhy, the property
of the Hon. E. R. Metre. It is a square box, five
inches by three and a half, and two inches deep,
beautifully mounted with silver gilt, both inside arid
out, and the oak wood is brilliantly polished. In
the centre of the lid is a large square shield, with
the following inscription upon it :
" The Freedom of the City of York, presented to the
Right Honourable Henry Lord Brougham and Vaux,
' Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, in testimony of
the feelings of admiration and respect entertained by the
Corporation of York, for the unrivalled talents and 1114.
deviating patriotism of that eminent Statesman,—April,
1831.

" The Right Honourable Lord Dundasi,
" (Third time) Lord Mayor."
The copy of the admission, inclosed in the box, is
elegantly executed, by the Town Clerk, on vellum.
