LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1849.

Since Sir JAMES DUKE was inaugurated on the
ninth of last November as Chief Magistrate of the
City of London, it has devolved upon us as journal-
ists to announce repeated, and we might almost say
unprecedented, evidences on his part of hospitality
and munificence. The hospitality of the Mayoralty
of the metropolis is proverbial, and has been so fur
many centuries. Yet, from that very circumstance,
it becomes difficult for any one newly elected to the
dignity of presiding over the conservation of
law, order, and property in the capital
of England to render himself in that
respect in any degree remarkable. The pre
sent Right Hon. the Loan .M 4YOR has, however,
rendered himself so far conspicuous for hospitaht.)
during the eight months of his mayoralty which
have slrei.dy elapsed, as to call to remembrance
tl ose among his predecessors who have shown
themselves snore than usually profuse in their ex-
penditure, and sumptuous in their entertainments.
What has, nevertheless, peculiarly characterised
the conduct of Sir JAMES DUKE, has not been so
much the number and splendour of his barquets, as
the blending in them at once of taste, of interest, and
magnificence. Beyond the usual annual dinners at
the Mansion-house, there have been under his
auspices others of a particularly unusual, if not of a
wholly unexampled, character. After the re-
ception of the Prime Minister of the coun-
try and his colleagues, we have witnessed the
welcome afforded by him towards the leading states-
men of the Opposition. No political prejudices, or
party predilections have interfered with the impartial
distribution of hospitality by the LORD MAYOR. On
one evening he has thrown the civic halls open
to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his coadjutors in
the House of Commons, and to the Marquis of
LA.NSDOWN2 with his colleagues in the House of
Lords. On another he has acted with
similar cordiality in his banquet to Lord
STANLEY, to Mr. DISRAELI, and to their
brother Protectionists. Nor has he overlooked that
illustrious division of the popular representatives who
•
Way be well declared to be still proud to call the
Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL their leader. Various,
however, and striking as have been the successive
entertainments at the Mansion-house during the
Mayoralty of the Right Honourable Member for
Boston, it was reserved to last Saturday evening for
Sir JAMES DUKE to evince in the most apparent
manner his eminent capacity to act as the principal
functionary in the first municipality in the empire.
On that occasion the city of London presented
an unfrequent though not entirely unprecedented
spectacle—the spectacle of the chief magistrate of a
great mercantile municipality extending the hand
of fellowship and raising the voice of admira-
tion to the accumulated genius of the nation,
to those men among our contemporaries who
have made themselves illustrious by their
labours in art and letters. Wealth and Commerce
then did homage to Literature. Round the festive
board,, of the LORD MAYOR of London were assem-
bled men whose names are household words, not
only to Englishmen, but to every one who
is acquainted with the literary or artistic
achievements of Great Britain, men whose powers
are apprtoiated as well on the margin of the
Ganges and of the M;s.issippi as upon the banks of
the Shannon and the Thames. There was the LE SAGS
of his age, still youthful, although in the maturity of
his reputation. There, too, was the CLAUDE LORRAINE
.& Sr \Of thd.'nineteenth century, whose brush had not only
764.--; its creations the exquisite beauties and
miracles'of Nature, but whose astonishing abilities,
- in spite of 'their occasionally fantastic exaggeration,
have evoked a celebrant as eloquent in prose delinea-
tions of scenery, as Tliousort was in poetical. There
