THE QUEEN'S APPROBATION OF
THE LORD MAYOR FOR THE ENSUING
YEAR. •
Yesterday the Lord Mayor elecrwent to the resi-
dence of the Lord Chancellor, to receive her Majesty's
most gracious approbation on being elected Lord Mayor
for the ensuing year. The Lord Mayor was accompa-
nied by the Recorder, and Aldermen Hooper, Hunter,
and Moon, and attended by the Sheriffs, the Remem-
brancer, &c. &c.
The RECORDER, in introducing the Lord Mayor to the
Lord Chancellor, said—" My Lord, I have the honour to
present to your Lordship Sir George Carroll, Knight,
recently elected by the Citizens of London into the
office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year.
" The laws and charters of London have been strictly
observed in the election of this gentleman, and it is in
accordance with the custom prescribed by the charter
that I have now the honour to solicit, at the hands of
your Lordship, the gracious approbation of the Crown
of the choice the citizens have made.
" The Lord Mayor elect, as a member of the Stock
Exchange, was for more than thirty years engaged in
extensive financial operations with the leading capi-
talists of the city, and enjoyed a well-earned reputation
for undeviating integrity in all his dealings.
" After a close attention for so many years, Mr. Carroll
proposed to himself to retire from the more active scenes
of life, and to confine the discharge of his public duties
to the requirements of his office as a magistrate for the
county of Essex, where he had long resided, was exten-
sively known and universally respected. But the opinion
and earnest solicitation of his friends prevailed with him
to change his purposes, and in 1837 drew him from a
temporary retirement to undertake the office of Sheriff
of London and Middlesex. This being the year of her
Majesty's accession to the throne, her Majesty, on the
9th of November, vouohsafcd to become a guest of the
Corporation of London, and to adorn, by her royal
presence, the banquet prepared in the Guildhall.
The honour of knighthood was on that occasion con-
ferred upon the Sheriffs, the present Lord Mayor elect,
and Sir Moses Montefiore, since created a Baronet. In
1839 Sir George Carroll was unanimously elected by the
inhabitant householders of the ward of Candlewick to
represent them as an Alderman of London, and by his
accession to this new dignity he perfected the legal
qualifications of a candidate for the office of Lord Mayor.
" As a Justice in the Commission of the Peace for the
county of Essex, in the office of Sheriff of London and
Middlesex, and as a Magistrate of the City, and Alder-
man of his ward, Sir George Carroll has uniformly
evinced his sense of loyalty to the throne, and a zealous
regard for the maintenance of the laws, together with
the liberties and franchises of his felle4rusubjects. To
these qualities are superadded the claims of a blameless
life, and the evidence of a kind and courteous disposition,
in a constant urbanity of demeanour, which, whilst it
derogates nothing from authority, conciliates opinion in
enforcing the law.
My lord, on these grounds the citizens of London
cherish the hope—l might be excused, perhaps, the ex-
pression, if I added the confident expectation—that her
Majesty will be graciously pleased to approve of and
confirm the advancement of this gentleman, a tried and
faithful servant of the Crown and of the Corporation, to
`t the highest station and employment of trust and dignity
which our city can bestow—that of our Chief Magistrate,
and of her Majesty's Lieutenant within the City."
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt high gratification
in announcing her Majesty's most gracious approbation
of the choice made by the citizens of London of Sir
George Carroll, as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing.
'['he highly _esteemed character of Sir George Carroll,
the knowledge possessed by his fellow-citizens of his
qualification for office, and his zeal and activity s a ma-
gistrate, are convincing arguments of his efficiencyft ; and
he honestly believed, in his hands, the dignit of the dis-
tinguished office would be unimpaired. y

COMMENCEMENT OF IVIICHAELMAS TEnm.--Yester-
day, Westminster-hall, and the avenues which lead to it,
by mid-day evinced unmistakeable signs that the inter-
regnum of the long vacation had passed away, and that
the ancient hall of the various courts that abut from
it was about to wear again its wonted as-
pect. Cabs, containing gentlemen " learned in the
law," followed each other in rapid succession to the
rendezvous of law, and clerks and cads loaded with legal
paraphernalia trotted also in shoals in the same direction.
Bustle and animation appeared everywhere. The very
officials of the courts, and the various ticket porters and
hangers-on seemed to have brushed off the rust of the past
and looked fresher than ever, but the counsel, especially
those who have something to do, expressed their joy in
smiles and jokes. Even the writ-servers, almost frozen
out by the long vacation, looked happy—regretfully on
the past, but trustingly on the future. The entrance to
the hall, and the hall itself, were lined by respectably-
dressed ladies and gentlemen, anxious to obtain a sight
of the judges us they passed on to their respective
courts. They arrived at the Ball at half-past one
o'clock, the- Lord Chief Justice and the Equity Judges
going into the Lord Chancellor's Court, and the Common
Law Judges making their way, headed by Lord
Denman, into the Court of Common Pleas.
They shortly afterwards separated to their respective
courts. They were attired in their full robes, and all
looked remarkably well. All the courts presented an
array of counsel, the senior counsel being in full dress,
and respectably dressed persons, many of whom were
ladies.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—AS some young men
were fishing for whiting on Monday afternoon in Thornis
Bay, near where the steamers were ashore, one of the
party got on the mast-head of the boat to reef the sail,
while another was getting in the anchor, when the boat
upset. Three were saved by the other boats in the
lily, but the fourth, Samuel Dawson, a son of Mr. Daw-
son, butcher, was drowned. He was a particularly
steady youth, and so much respected for his civility and
attention to business, that the whOle town laments his
untimely end.
