LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

Sir James Duke entered upon his mayoralty to.
day. Had custom permitted him to select a season
for his advent to the office of chief magistrate likely
to prove more auspicious than that at this season of
the year (balmy air and sunny skies) he could not,
out " of all the days of the year," have selected a finer
or more healthy one than this 9th of November. The
air was genial, the atmosphere nearly free from fog
and chilling vapours, as is the wont on Lord Mayors'
days, and to crown all the sun shone with resplendent
brilliancy. Hence citizens and suburbans came
forth in goodly array to behold the civic pageant, and
raise a cheer for the new Lord Mayor, who adds to
his fair fame as a worthy citizen, a loyal subject, and
an enterprising merchant, the additional honour of
having served his country in the memorable siege of
Algiers, where, as we stated yesterday, "on that
stirring occasion it is much more likely Sir James
expected a cannon-ball for his portion, rather than
dream of becoming Lord Mayor of London."
We should premise, however, that the Lord Mayor
entertained his predecessor in the high office of Lord
Mayor, several Aldermen, and personal friends at
the Mansion-house to breakfast early this morning.
Heretofore a public breakfast has taken place on
the 9th of November in the Guildhall ; this year it
has been abolished, in consequence of its materially
interfering with the arrangements for the banquet
in the evening. The breakfast referred to partook
altogether of a private character. •
The Lord Mayor and party haying attended the
Church of St. Lawrence, as usual, he proceeded to
the Guildhall. The procession started at twelve
o'clock precisely.
His Lordship on entering the state coach was
much cheered; so also was the late Lord Mayor.
The procession left in the following order :

police-coastables to clear the way.
