LORD MAYOR'S DAY•

- -
Extensive preparations having been made to usher in
the Lord Mayor's Day with eclat, the streets in the
neighbourhood of Guildhall were crowded with people,
and vast numbers were admitted into the building

itself to witness the ceremony of breakfasting, which was
performed in the Council Chamber, by the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, Sheriffs, and principal City officers, soon
after eleven o'clock. Ihe barriers within the doors of
the Hall offered an ineffectual resistance to the strength
and impetuosity of the multitude, so that the activity of
the police was unavoidably referred to, but a consider-
able time elapsed before the bustle was -brought to a
conclusion. The improvements in the decorative ar-
rangements are recorded in the following account :
The Ilall was externally lighted with gas, coils of
pipes having been introduced amongst the arms of the
Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs, so that a peculiar brilli-
ancy broke forth as the evening approached. The front
of the Hall's entrance-porch was decorated with armour
from the tower. Two most magnificent chandeliers,
made by the deceased Mr. Collins, were suspended from
the ceiling of the halL The value of these beautiful speci-
mens of art, is said to be 1,0001., but the executor, Wm.
Collins, sold them to the corporation for 2001., as they
were considered to be too large for any other public
building. The chandeliers were ornamented with
stained glass.
Mr. Bunning, the clerk of the works, judiciously made
the alterations described, which in a great measure
cures a very palpable defect in the external arrange-
ment of the building ; as in consequence of the enormous
quantity of gas burned in the hall and smaller rooms,
the visitors of the 9th November have been obliged to
complain of excessive heat. Mr. Bunning contrived to
let in a current of air from the Court-yard, between the
lobby of the Council Chamber and the Court of Alder-
men, and introduced in the space thus thrown open a
picture representing the Embarkation of Henry the
Eighth from the Tower, with Old London-bridge
covered with houses in the distance. On the painted
pavement of the floor were varieties of flowers,
and the effect of this improvement was greatly praised.
In fact a conservaWry.appeared where bare walls were
formerly-to be seen. - 'line oil which it was the custom to
burn in different parts of the edifice was wholly removed,
and gas alone blazed everywhere.
At about a quarter-past twelve o'clock the Lord
Mayor received notice that the order of procession was
about to commence, and the company accordingly left
the breakfast rooms, and went with their carriages in
the usual order .
