DEATH OF LORD CUIEF BARON 111"4"5.
—We bare this day to record the death of the
above Learned Lord. The event took place at
his Lordship's residence, at haltpast nine
o'clock this morning. His Lordship Lind beet'
suffering from indisposition for a considerable
time, and so severely was he attacked on the lot
Circuit that he was obliged to leave the Court.
The circumstance was communicated to Abe
Loan CnaNc.v.m.ott by a note, and on coining
into Court his Lordship communicated it to the
Bar. His Lordship, we believe, was in his 75th
year.

We extract the fol!owing from a late number
of the Hamburgh Gorrespondenlen
" AwcoNA, SErr. 22.—We have just received the follow.
ing distressing account from Ragusa :—On the 26th ult. ea
heat of 31 degrees, which was productive of contagious dig'

shock of an earthquake, which threw down seVeral hotsits,
being experienced at the same time. The. sea recAed. OP'

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR. and City Offi-
cers, with the usual retinue, proceeded to the
Exchequer in state.
At an early hour every avenue leading to Guildhall was
crowded. At half.paat eleven, the Lord Mayor (Alderman
Wald:man) arrived at Guildhall in his private carriage, follow.
ed by the late Lord Alayor, and entered the hall. At twelve
o'clock, continued cheering announced the arrival of Alderman
Wood, who drove up in his private carriage, and immediately
after the state-carriage was drawn up in front of Guildhall by.
six beautiful bay horses, and .was followed by the late Lord
Mayor's private carriage drawn by six dark bays, beautifully
decorated with scarlet and white ribbancls. The harness worn
by the horses in the state carriage was quite plain, with heavy
.brass buckles. Soon after twelve, the men in armour, and a
number of beautiful horses to form the procession, arrived. A
number of city officers and special constables lined the way be.
tween Guildhall and the bridge. At a little more than half-
past twelve the Lord Mayor entered the state-carriage accom-
panied' by the Sword-bearer and Chaplain, and the procession
moved slowly on. At Foster-lane, the Goldsmiths' Company,
with a band of music, joined the procession, which moved on
to the east side of Blackfriars-hridge, where the Lord Mayor
alikhted, and embarked on board the City barge. The brass,
scale armour seemed to attract the greatest degree of public
attention ; it had a very splendid appearance. The coat of mail
is superb, as is the spear and truncheon : there is a whole
shoe of brass (solid), and brass stirrups to the saddle ; every
point presents a lion's head, neatly worked ; the helmet Is re-
markable for good workmanship. There is a rising leaf in the
centre, Supporting a rich plume of feathers, and on the sides
various inscriptions. The armour contains 7,000 scales, exclu,
sive of the points. On the shield is the Rose, Shainroek, and
'l huts, coveting its surface, and its dimension is small. The
tiorse's bridle was also studded with roses, which gave a very
brilliant appearance. At half-past three the procession was
as4g3ln °llserved returning down the river. The sudden sharp
:''iuP; announced the arrival, and his Lordship disembarked
it
,x'at With difficulty he could ascend the steps for the crowd.
`fit the Obelisk, Bridge-street, the procession was joined by the
Ambassadors, Judges, and Members, who had been invited to
thei banquet at Guildhall; and at the corner of King-street. the
Lady Mayoress, who came from the Mansion-house, joined the
proaession in a most splendid private carriage.

THE DINNER.
At half-past four o'clock the clangour of trumpets announced
the approach of the new Lord Mayor to Guildhall. He imme-
diately afterwards entered, preceded by the
.sword mace-
b- 'ri
Aiar, and attended by the usual city officers. The Lady
ayer!,:,s kept her state in the Council Chamber, where the
puke of Sussex, and several other visitors of rank, were intro-
'loecd to her. At six o'clock the Lord Mayor proceeded from the
Council Chamber to the hall, which was most brilliantly illu-
The upper end of the hall was ornamented with a splen.
did crown ; the lower end with a vivid and beautifully proper*
fortfeed of gas. Two large, and ono small gas
chandelier, ,
uenended were from the roof. Tasteful festoons of gas
here disposed along the walla ; and, at a considerable distance
low the fatoons, fourteen gas Wares shed a powerful light.
—Tneacene was exceedingly grand. The gay and tasteful
dres,ses of the ladies—the feathers and jewels with which very
many of them were decorated, were seen to the utmost advan.
rage amidst this flood of radiance. Amongst the company who
honoured the festivity with their presence, we observed—the
Auks Of Sussex, Chief-Justice Abbott, Mr. Justice Bayley,

the
