LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

The City, this morning, was much crowded to witness the
grand civic procession of "the Lord Mayor's show," and every
house top and window was thronged in the extreme by, bath
sexes, to witness the pageant; the anxiety was no doubt increased
by the disappointment which was experienced this day twelve-
months, there being no procession, and when so many tumults
occurred, which will be in the recollection of our readers. Con-
trary to usual custom, on Lord Mayor's Day, the procession on
this occasion did not proceed from Guildhall to Blackfriars-
bridge, where it was customary for the Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
and other civic authorities, to embark in their respective barges
for Westminster-hall, but from the Mansion-house.
At about twenty minutes before twelve o'clock the bells of
the various churches commenced ringing, which denoted the
starting of the procession, which was composed of the City State
card ge, in which were the Lord Mayor, his Chaplain, the Sword
and Mace Bearer, the two Sheriffs, their Under-Sheriffs, and
Chaplains, in their State coaches, and Aldermen Wilson and
Kelly, besides the usual numker f men in armour, and their
Esquires in half armour, pretWed by the City Marshals, and the
boys of the Royal Marine Society, with flags and banners
flying, and the bands playing " See the conquering hero comes."
The procession proceeded from the Mansion-house along Lombard-
street, through Fenchurch-street, up Billiter-lane, into Lea-
denhall-street, along that street, and down Fenchurch-street to
the Western steps of the New London-bridge, where his Lord-
ship and his retinue took water in the city State barge, which was
richly decorated with flags and banners, and rowed by sixteen
watermen in their state liveries. The following companies also
end:arked in their f espective barges, and accompanied the Lord
Mayor :—the Merchant Tailors, the Fishmongers, the Mercers,
and the Skinners, all of which were handsomely decorated with
the banners of each company. The Goldsmiths' Company, from
some cause or other best known to themselves, did not join the
civic throng—they have accounted for it by saying the notice of
preparation was too short for the company to get ready, but
there are strong doubts prevailing that this was not the reason—
certain it is, however, the company did not attend. At Black-
friars'-bridge theaquatic procession was joined by the Stationers'
Company, to which the Lord Mayor belongs, and the six barges
proceeded up the river, accompanied by numbers of wherries
and other craft, but certainly, we must say, fewer than we
ever remember to have seen on any former occasion. From tin
various wharfs, on either sides, salutes of guns were tired
as the procession passed, and the various bridges were much
thronged. At about ten minutes past one o'clock the Lord
Mayor' and the various companies attending upon him, disem-
barked at Westminster-bridge, and proceeded to the Court of
Exchequer, where the usual forms were gone through. The
Recorder did not accompany the civic procession, but met the
Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall. The civic pageant re-
turned to Blackfriars-bridge by water, where they will
disembark, and proceed direct to Guildhall, where a sump-
tuous dinner has been provided by Mr. Terry, of the New
London Tavern, at which his Majesty's Ministers will be present
It is understood that in future the procession will start from
London-bridge.

" I am sorry to say we have now several cases of cholera with
us. All precautions are being taken. The cases were—Mrs.
Wilson, aged fifty, who died in twenty-four hours; a man,
named Ellington, aged fifty, who died in six or eight hours ; D.
Ellerman, took ill at midnight, and at nine o'clock on Sunday
evening was sinking fast. Dr. Daun is of opinion that it is the
Asiatic cholera. He has been sent down by Government. This
account, as well as our previous one, you may depend upon being
correct.
" Since writing the above, we understand, from good autho-
rity, that another case and death has taken place."
