THE SHERIFFS' DINNER.
After the usual ceremonies before the Barons of the Ex-
chequer, Jon.; CROWDER, Esq., Alderman, and THOMAS
KEL LT, 'Esq., the new Sheriffs, gave their grand inauguration
breakfast and dinner, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street.
—The company on both occasions was numerous. The imme-
diate direction of the arraniements had been entrusted to Mr.
Under-Sheriff Smith, who had omitted nothing that could pos-
sibly contribute to the gratification of those present. Every
delicacy which could be procured was provided in abundance;
the wines, as might have been expected, were of the first order,
and the attendance was most excellent. Among the company
assembled were—the Loan MAYou, who presided; Mr.
Bankes, the Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer ; the greater num-
ber of the Aldermen ; the Civic Law Authorities; and the lead-
ing members of the two Companies of Stationers and Plasterers,
to which the new Sheriffs belong. After the cloth had been
removed, " Non; Nohis Domine," was sung in excellent style
by Messrs. Pyne, Taylor, Terrail, Leete, Smith, and Jolley.
The Lo an MAT on then proposed—
" The King," with three times three.--4 God save the King.'
" The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family."_.
4 Hail, Star of Brunswick.'

" The Army and Navy.--" Rule, Britannia."
'The Lowo I yon, after commenting on the important
duties of the Chief Magistrate of the City, and obsering that
his fellow-citizens had yesterday chosen for that office, one who
was most highly qualified to fill it, proposed " the health of
Mr. Alderman Venables, the Lord Mayor elect, with three
times three."

,11r. Alderman VENABLES returned thanks for the hOnour-
able manner in which his health had been proposed and re-
ceived. most earnest wish would be to fulfil the duties
of his office to the satisfaction of his fellow-citizens; and he
had no doubt, that in doing so he should b.. materially assisted
by the very worthy gentlemen who were now about to under-
take the arduous duties of Sheriff's.
Glee—" In sunoner's cool shade."

Mr. Alderman VENABLES, in proposing " the health of
the present Lord Mayor," observed that he never knew any
one who had received more general and unequivocal marks of
respect from. his fellow-citizenS.—(Applause.)—The toast was
drank with considerable enthusiasm.

The Lonii MAYOR thanked the for the very kind
and flattering manner in which they had drank his health, and
said that he feared the praise bestowed on him by the Lord
.Mayor Elect had been as much owing to the partiality of pri-
vate friendship as to any other cause. Ile had always endea-
voured to do his duty for the benefit of his fellow-citizens, and
he hoped he had succeeded.—(Applause.)—That duty, though
always must important, had been rendered less arduous to
him than to some of his predecessors, on account of the existing
prosperity of the country, which had arisen from the liberal
conduct of the present Administration. lie trusted that pros.
perity would continue long beyond the Mayoralty of his sue.
cessor, and he believed there was every reason to expect that it
would.

The LORD MAYOR proposed " the health of Mr. Bankes,
the Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer," whom he complimented
on account of the urbanity of manners and kindness of feelings
which that Learned Judge had displayed when acting for his
Majesty, in receiving and recognizing the appointment of the
present SherifEs.
The Cutisyron BARON returned thanks.

The LOlMlirod- laid, that the Gentlemen who were now
about to enter on the office of Sheriffs, were too well known to
their fellow-citizens to need his commendation ; but, if they
had 'not been so, the very handsome manner in which they had
entertained their friends, this day, would have left no doubt of
the way in which they intended to support the hospitality of
the city. Ile therefore proposed " the health of Messrs.
Crowder and Kelly."—(Drank with three times three, and loud
applause.)
Mr. Alderman CROWDER, in returning thanks, observed,
that the honour he and his worthy colleague had just received,
was much increased by the manner in which it had been pro.
posed. He was aware of the arduous nature of the. ditties he
had undertaken ; but he should meet them firmly, conscious
that he was acting under the wish to perform them with pro-
priety, and to deserve, by his conduct, the approbation of that
respectable body—the Livery of London. He had been called
on in a manner highly agreeable to his feelings, to act in this
office, and he received the honourable appointment with the
same hearty good will with which he believed it to have been
conferral by his fellow citizens.—(Applause.)—in the anxiety to
perform his duty, he trusted lie should not be behind any who
had before filled the office—he should be desirous of supporting
its dignity and its hospitality ; and in the execution of the me-
lancholy parts of it, he should always be disposed to extend to,
the unfortunate and to the criminal the utmost degree of kind.:
ness compatible with their circumstances and situation.---(Ap-
planse.)—He was free from'the fetters of business; he should
therefore devote all his leisure time, which was considerable,
to the duties of his office; and hi his worthy Colleague, he'
was certain he should find a gentleman who would also be dis-
posed to act with every honourable and liberal feeling.
Sheriff KELLY declared that he had not language suffi-
ciently strong to express his feelings for the very pleasing man-
ner in which his health had been proposed and received. He .
should have feared' to have undertaken the duties of his pre-
sent office, but for the association of his name with that of
gentleman, with whom he was proud of being united as a ,

' colleague ; a gentleman whom he had long known, and who was
in possession `of all the qualifications necessary to constitute an
upright and just .Magistrate, and an honourable man. The
worthy Sheriff then expressed his obligations to many of his
rellow-citizens, and especially to his predecessors in office,
whose example, he said, he should be most happy to follow,
certain; if he- did so, he must meet with the approbation
of all. He could assure his fellow-citizens,- that among
the pleasing duties of the office of Sheriff—that of maintaining
the civic hospitality would not be forgotten either by his col-
league or himself, for that they contemplated no diminution of
the splendour and feStivity of their office.—(Applause.)—The
City of London was thn first in dignity and importance, and it
was not for the Chief Officers of such a City to dare to neglect
to • support that dignity and importance, He concluded by
wishing every happiness to the company present, whose health
he drank.

The Loup MaYon. proposed ",The Magistracy of the City
who had passed the Chair."
Sir C. FLOWER returned thanks.
The LORD illavon. proposed " The health of the Re-
corder."

The RECORDER returned thanks.—Song, " Bacchus, place
me near the bowl."

The Lout) MAxon. proposed " The Members for Middle-
sex,". and ill r. EAT) returned thanks. -
The Loup MAYOR proposed the " health of 'the late She-
riff;," which- having been drank; those Gentleman returned
thanks.

The LORD MAYOR proposed the "health of the.Menibers
for the City." •.

- - -
Mr: Alderman WooD, in retaining thankS, said he should
by happy to render an account of his conduct to his fellow_
citizens, who, he trusted, would be so satisfied with him as to
return him again.—(Applause.)
Mr. Alderman BRIDGES also returned thanks.
Several other toasts were drank, and the Company separated-
at a late hour, highly gra -led with the evening's festivity.

POET a Y.

THE MOTHER'S REMNNSTRANCE.

. • Hast thou well my counsels weigh'd,
Show me not thy gay cockade;—
I have watch'd thy tender years,
With a mother's hopes and fears ;
I should yield thee up with tears.
Thou ,would'st only live for fame, -
Thou would'st win a hero's name,—
But thou know'st not what I know ;
• • I have seen the realms of wo,
Where the soldier's. laurels grow.—
Can'st thou thirst and famine bear,
Yet march on with cheerful air?
Can'st thou stand the autumn's rain,
On a cold and marshy plain,
When thy gallant heart is vain ?
When thy comrades round thee fall,
When 'tis death and tumult all,
Can'st thou then untroubled stand,
With thy reason at command,
To save thy shatter'd band ?
Can'st thou die, as soldiers die,
Give to. love thy last sad sigh,
Then, 'mid dead and dying cast,
Feel thy dreams of glory past,
Yet contented breathe thy last ?
'Twas thus thy father fell.-
1 could ne'er the story tell—
But I see his image now,
With the death-blood on hi 4 brow :
I surviv'd, I kno* not how.—
'Twas for thee that life was dear,—
' But my words thou wilt not hear ;
And the fire, er'n while I speak,
Mantles higher on thy check,
To repioach my fondness weak.—
Oh ! on the embattled field,
• May the God of battles shield
Thee, the soldier's widow's son !-
-Return With laurels won—
Or his righteous will be done.
