THE KING.

WINDSOR, Nov. 9.—The expectations that were yesterday
entertained, of an improvement in his MAJESTY'S health,

will resume his accustomed excercise.

THE LORD MAYOR'S DAY.
[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
Yesterday being the day on which, by_imvscriptive custom,
the new LORD MAYOR is sworn into office at Westminster,
and receives the consummation of civic honours, every prepa-
ration was made in the city to render the procession and grand
entertainment as magnificent as possible. His Lordship bad
actively engaged himself for the purpose of reviving the an-
cient spirit of the 9th of November; and certainly no expcnce
was spared in rendering the pageant an object of wonder.
The public seemed to be aware of the richness of the treat
intended, and all the streets through which the Chief Magi-
strate was to pass were crowded at an early hour. Several shops
were closed in order to avoid broken windows, and pickpockets
were in abundance at every corner. Indeed, one gentleman
lost his pocket-book, containing 6001., at the corner of Queen-
street, as the procession was passing. At ten o'clock the Lord
Mayor's carriage was driven through the city, and attracted
great admiration. The coachman, outrider, and footmen, were
literally covered with gold. The out-rider's jacket, when the
sun, which had a cheerful influence the whole of the day, played
upon it, appeared quite in a blaze. Chains of gold ran along
the arms and back with embroidered flowers, and at the top of
each sleeve was a bouquet interspersed with olive leaves and
cornucopia:. On the shoulders were worked aigulets of massive
gold chain-work. The cloth, scarcely any of which was per-
, ceptible, amidst the splendour of the embroidery, was of green,
lined with yellow. The pattern of the broad and heavy lace,
which was so profusely accumulated, was beautiful, and had
the strong attraction of novelty to recommend it. This im-
portant appendage to the occasion was equalled by the liveries
of the other servants of his Lordship, and was highly creditable
to the taste of Mr. Paul, of Bucklersbury, who made the live-
ries of his Lordship when Sheriff. The fat sleek condition of
the men corresponded with the reputation of the Guildhall ban-
quet. At a little after 11 o'clock a grand breakfast way pre-
pared for the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation, in the
Common Council Chamber, in which a great number of Ladies,
who would not run the hazard of a street view, were assem-
bled. The Sheriffs attended in state in their robes, followed
by the Under. Sheriffs and their officers. The late Lord Mayor,
Aldermen Wood, Sir C. S. Hunter, Bridges, Magney, Vena-
bles, and Thompson, were the only Aldermen we observed .at
this commencement of the ceremonies of the day. The Common
Sergeant, Mr. Sergeant Arahin, and the other City Law Mi.
cers, were at the breakfast. At about half-past twelve, the
Lord Mayor got into his state carriage, and the procession began
to move.

The hors es which drew his Lordship were very superbly

he artpn'iLtriitsermcleodt hs. with
to " the soft phrase of peace," looked 'most warlike. 'They
headed the procession like triumphant heroes. 'The renowned
men in armour followed, with their esquires in -i dei • u y
array, and their attendants in the costume of the daylsntlfllit'larl
worth. In the list, the second suit of armour is set down as
being from the Tower, where it has the character of having
once covered the body of Henry V. The late Lord Mayor was
greatly cheered OA the procession passed along Cheapside and
down Ludgate-hill. At Blackfriars Bridge, where the crowds
of spectators were immense, the company embarked on board
the city state barge. The barges of the Goldsmiths', the Mer-
chant Tailors', the Fishmongers', the Grocers,' and several
other Coinpaniea received the suite. All the barges were de-
corated with the emblazoned banners of the companies,
and were unusually brilliant upon the water. The wind
was rather brisk, and near Waterloo-bridge the Goldsmiths,
barge, in spite of the exertions of the watermen was
driven against one of the heavy coal barges, and sus-
tained some damage. Near lilackfriars Bridge, several
persons tumbled into the water, hut we are glad to say that no
serious accident occurred—an extraordinary fact, considering
that such a crowd of smell boats accompanied the aquatic
pageant, that it was matter of great difficulty to avoid upset-
ting some of them., The Lord Mayor was saluted by repeated
discharges of cannon, and the ringing of all the city bells. At
half-past two, his Lordship landed at Westminster, and pro.
ceeded to the Court of Exchequer. As this Court is a tempo-
rary erection on the miserably confined space formerly occupied
as the Court of Chancery, the crowding of the curious became
a source of the utmost annoyance. The Barons of the Ex.
chequer sat in their robes to receive the Civic Body. The
Recorder advanced, leading the new Lord Mayor on his
right, and the old on his left. In introducing thenewttrritl
Mayor to the Barons, the Recorder said he had die ho
of introducing to the Court the Right Honourable John
Garrett, Citizen and Goldsmith, a gentleman elected by the
free choice of his fellow-citizens, as worthy, from his public
and private virtues, to sustain the most important and dig-
nified office in their disposal—that of their Chief Magistrate,—
The Learned Gentleman then enumerated, at considerable
length, the duties of the office, their important and honour-
able nature, and expressed his conviction that his Lordship
would be wanting in nothing that was calculated to maintain the
dignity and splendour which always belonged to the situation.
Hut Lordship would doubtless preserve with inflexible firmness
the invaluable privileges of his fellow-citizens—act with dili.
gence and impartiality in the justice.seat—maintain that hos-
pitality and munificent splendour which were worthy of the
first metropolis in the world,—and secure, at the expiration of
his Mayoralty, the thanks and esteem of all his constituents.---
The Recorder then said, he had the honour to introduce Robert
Waithman, Esq., Alderman and frame-work-kilter, who at.
tended to render in his account of the faithful discharge of the
duties of his office. That Gentleman had acted meritoriously
throughout. He had dischared his duties with zeal and loyalty.
As a Magistrate he had been most diligent and able, and had
everywhere gained renown and esteem. Ile had shewn him-
self the friend Qf 4he efilicted, the proteetQr of the oppressed,

and made himself the terror of evil-doors. He had maintained
the hospitality and splendour of the city, and his conduct
throughout the year had been marked by an ardent desire to
conciliate the good-will of his fellow-citizens, and to promote
every thing which could operate to their moral and political
welfare. More could be said upon the subject, bat the sense
which the Gentleman's fellow-citizens entertained of his services
were best expressed by the unanimous vote of thanks which
they voted to him in the last Common Hall.
'rho CUM/ BARON addressed the new Lord Mayor at con.
siderable length, and expressed his concurrence in the eulogium
made by the Recorder on the office of Lord Mayor and the
Gentleman, the election of whom was the strongest testimony
that lie had difilised the wealth honourably acquired for the
general benefit. The Chief Baron said, that from all he knew,
and all that he had heard of the Gentleman who had been just
elected, he was convinced that the duties of the office would be
' conducted with the greatest zeal, loyalty, and talent.
The CHIEF Banos then addressed the late Lord Mayor
in highly complimentary terms, on the manner in which
he had performed the duties of his office. To convince
them of his meritorious conduct, it was unnecessary to
read the vote of thanks—.his actions are well known. He
had executed the duties of his office in a manner that did
honour to the city—in a manner calculated to be his gaffs-
tion in his old age, and die pride of his children hereafter.
After the new Lord Mayor had been sworn in, and had taken
the customary oaths, the late Lord Mayor gave in his accounts,
and performed various acts, which ate continued on account of
their antiquity. The new Lord Mayor and Sheriff's then in-
vited their Lordships, and afterwards went into the Court of
Common Pleas, to invite the other Judges to dinner. The
procession returned to the city in the order in which it had
set out.
