MY OWN TRANSL.ii:::6IV

At length, my Lord, having entered on your
new office, Your paraphernalia being ready, your
eplipage at the door, and your gold chain on
your shoulders, people will calculate that you
have uothing to do but send out your cards, and
prepai.c your appetite for the Turtle.
I haVe a better opinion of you, however, than
to suppose you intend to conduct yourself in your
feasting functions, more .majortenz ; and indeed,
my Lord, a dinner is no such bagatelle as some of
them have imagined. I have seen Lord Mayors,
who, when they had once settled the length of
the table and the bill of fare, thought the whole
business was over. They knew, about it.

The chief point is—whom to invite and whom
not to invite. This is a nicer matter than you
may think for; so you 'milt leave your Cook and
Butler to their own management, and consult the
Court 'Calendar and Parliamentary Register.

When you invite a Prime Minister; send a for-
mal embassy with the invitation. This answers.
a double purpose : it gives a preparatory :eclat. to
your feast, and the Morning Chronicle will puff :off
your splendour, artd hospitality, and'Alignity,,and
all that, in a few " initiative" paragraphs:' Be-
sides, your friends will lay in the requisite stock-
of toasts amt speeches to affront hint ; and the
veteran Major will get ready his extempoinry
ply to your extemporary compliMent. The Mi-
nister latest sit it out ; and your 'Parliamentary
Orators cannot be called to order in the Mansion-
house i, they will say ow their say, and make hint
feel that he's not in St. Stephen's.
Perhaps he WOW( coma. It. is just as well if
be does not. The speeches will be every whit as
good ; and the Chronicle. will attack him next
Mottling for his spltc'n against yourself, and his
disrespect to the City.
Thus, you have the ilinistcrs completely on the
hip : let them turn which way they please, von
hit them. A grand secret this, 1 assure you', anti
such as I would not impart to every Lord Ma,yor.
Your succ,.ssor, perhaps, may not be so well dis-
posed to put it in practice.
Yon can't help inviting.the Chief ; and
be can't easily help accepting the invitation. If
he speaks handsomely of your Piadecessor, try
and look good humoured : even if he should cc-
lebrate.the last Mayoralty for having seen the
last of your favourite Emperor, keep your temper
"as long as possible. Smile, and bow, %Ind seem
pleased, though you should be ready to burst
one way or other, you will have opportunity
caough to retaliate after dinner.

I • SUppOSC Lord CASTLERILAGII twill scarcely
blleaVolT the Treaty of Peace, to travel post to
your Worship's inauguration. Perhaps he won't
make it so much as his excuse for staying away ;
and most probably, if he were here, he would not
be civiller than Lord LIVERPOOL and Mr. VANSIT-
TART. Never mind. There are Secretaries enough
in Thivn to bear the blame of refusing your invi
tation, or the annoyance-of accepting it.
I wish you bad thought of sending cards to
Dublin for the 'Popish Delegates. It would have
been a famous stroke. However, you must ma-
nage your Wood without their Board, for this
time ; and you may invite them at Easter, with
a consolatory speech for the failure of their next
petition.

Perhaps you can't very well ask GALE JONES
and PETER FINNERTY ; but you can supply their
places with WArrnmAN and WIS'IIART. The Major,
of course, will be at your elbow :7—dispOse your
Subalterns through the Hall, make them rehearse.
the telegaph signals two or three days Wore-
hand, and study the points of your new speeches.
N..B.They can rehearse as w 4 in small beer as.
in claret.

Talking of small beer—get :Arnie chymical man
to deliver a short lecture on. 'brewing.; with a,
disquisition on the noxious quality of hops, and
the superior whoksomeness of quassia. If you
can't prevail on Sir Homtwav DAVY, clap a dean
shirt on one of your own journLymen. Never
forget the shop.
Yo.o can't very decently drink the Emperor of,

deep in mind, bowel-et:, the Religious Liberty
Dinner of Jane, 1813. There wa a very pre ttY
speech Made about, that trifle, his plume ;"
with the hope of its thopping. the Dukes of
KENT or SW,SEX. A repetition of this loyal wisly,.
with a strong allusion or two to a greartravelling
Lady, would have a charming effect, and please
your princely visitors wonderfully. The Chro-
nicle-Man, or the Sunday Editors, Will tnanufac-
turehits enough for you, at a crown a dozen.
If you can bring yourself to say any thing
about Waterloo—l mean•on the successful side of
the question—it would be pretty. But don't dis-
tress yourself: your guests will he as comfortable

!Besides, if you should mar the congratulation
with a wry face, some mischievous punster might
be.apt to cry out Worm-Wood !—" A foolish
figme-: but let it Pass."
By the'bye, your retainers must be strictly en-
joined to keep dein- of all.quibbles, clenches, and
equivoques. Remember what 1 have said about
" God's revenge against punning." YOU have
most unlucky name, to he sure ; and it is impos-
sible to talk of, a gibbet, pillory, or whipping,

walls, &c. &c.
Contrive for a Prince of the Blood-Royal to
&ince with your Daughter ; this will give you
eclat, though the Levellers will be angry. If you
can procure her a capering Ex-Chancellor for the
rteNt set, so melt the bet ter. As you ask All the
Talents of course, she can't miss Of a partner ;
trod for the•remainder of the evening, she may
foot it with 808 WA ITH
These instructions wild apply to most of your
State Dinners : on less important- occasions, you
need not he so part;cular. Yon are lucky encugh
in one ' thing: though the Peace 'is Vexatious
enough, it saves you the annoyance of more
victories. After the mortifiationof NVe.terloo,
' Stoll in: e,,,:claitn with Pyrrhus---;" Another such
victory, and lam undone r Addresses of con-
' grattilation are ticklish things; and on such as-,
tressiug occasions you .might not find it quite so
comfortable to stand before the REGENT.-..
But it would be a pity to let yam. Mayoralty
pass without an explosion. Of course, you may
discourage whatever can assist or gratify the Go-
vernment, and promote whatever can embarrass
or offend them. Ask the Reformers to a snug
dinner ; and have a requisition ready for t-liem to
sign after the third bottle. Next day, call a Com-
mon Flail, and make a grand Speech against Bo-
roughs, Pensions, and Septenni.tl Parliaments, not
forgetting the Ministers, the Allies, and the Botta-
r3oNs. If you pop in a sentence or two'about the
restoration of NAPOLEON, it won't be amiss.—
Some of your people will propose an Address, to
be prepared by yourself, and voted by acclama-
tion-, which you will have an opportunity, next
Levee, of .throwing in the REGENT'S face.
Thee very few rules are, I suppose, quite suf-
ficient for so wise and pr;lent a Lord Mayor.---7
Go on as you have begun ; and your statue will
be carved in touch-wood, and erected in Guildhall
between flog and Magog, as an example to all
future Chief Magistrates.
