LORD ALTYOR's DAY.

Saturday being the tlfficiat commencement of the
new Lord Mayor's reign, the usual.ceremonies took
place.. The City was' thronged at an early hour to
see the procession from Gnildhall to the'Water side.
The day being fine, the siow-appeared to great
vantage.—ist; Tti6 OmitAes cleared the way ;
next, the Marshals,' and Marshals'-men; two and
two ; then the Lord. Mayor's servants, two', and
two, richly dressed in green, .and broad silver lace ;
afterwards, the state coach, with the new LORD

About two o'clock the whole embarked in the.
City Barges at Blackfriars-bridge, and landed at Old
Palaae-yard, from whence they .proeeeded to the
Court of Exchequer, where the new LORD MAYOR
was sworn in with the usual formalities. The RE,
CORDER, when he presented the new Lord Mayor
(Alderman SHAW) to the Barons, :paid thin' many,
compliments. He also. des anted on the integrity
and impartiality of the late Lord Mayor. The Lord
Chic fßiron addressed the late and present Lord
Mayor in a very eloquent speech, in Which lie took
occasion to contrast the present happy.temper of the
public
,mind with what it. was some years back,,
when the principles of Jacobinisni, _poisoned the
minds of the people. He then. pronounced a' just
and eloquent panegyric on the memory of the late
Lord NELSON; whose achievements, particularlysthe
last, he was persuaded would excite that noble emu- ,
lation which would enable its to deSpise every at-
tempt at Invasion by the sanguine Enemy:
The •Loan MAYOR and the City Officers return-
ed,to Blsckfriars-bridge about four o'clock, where
they were joined by the LORD CHANCELLOR, many
of the Judges, &c. The carriages 'of Mr. PITT,
Lord HAWKESBURY, and the Foreign Ambassadors
followed. In Cheapside, the horses were: taken frorn
Mr. Pirr's carriage, and he was drawn in triumph
to Guildhall, which the procession reached .about
four o'clock.

The doors -of Guildhall were opened at three
o'clock, and by four the greater proportion of the
company were assembled. The disposition of the
tables, and their ornaments, were much the same
as usual, except that the tables ht the Lower Hall
were likewise adorned with frame work. The Lotas
MAYOR. sat under an illuminated arch, adorned with
numerous devices applicable to the present political
state of the Country. " NELSON and Nrittoav"
appeared on every side. At each end appeared the
Colours of Britain, with the words " Admiral
NELSON)" &c. Over the place where the LORD
MAYOR sat there was an elegant portrait of Lord
NELSON (an admirable likeness), surrounded by a
double row of variegated lamps. Underneath the
pia= was a sword, and a large -transparency, on
which was written " The sword of the French
Admiral Btrolourr, the gift of, Lord -NELSON to
the City of London in the year. ins." '" Vic-
tory," in very large letters, surrounded the whole.—
At each end, on the same side of the Hall, appeared
a brilliant star, with pyramidical columns, arches,
&c. Direelly opposite, end over this Sheriffs' table,.
were'placed variegated lamps, displayed in the same
style, and equally elegant. In the centre appeared
a bust of Lord Nit.sox, extremely well executed.
What added 'to-'the splendour of the. whole, were f,
three immensely large •glass chandeliers, which, to-
gether with bell-lights, globular lamps, &c. gave a
brilliancy to the scene which has seldom been equal-
led, and can never be'surpassed. Mr. -PATRICK) Of
Newgate-street, had the dire6tion of the lights. •%,
On. the entrance of the Lord and Lady Mayoress
the music struck op " God Save the King." His
rordlhip was received w.ith the usual testiinonies of
approbation; When the CIIAN6RLLOR of the E4c,
CHEWIER entered, with Lords CASTLEREAGH;
MULG A VE,? RAW HESEURY) the applause was
great and unbounded. After the persoAs of distinc-
tion had paid their'respe6ts to file Lord Mayor in the
Aldermens' Chamber, and to the Lady Mayoress in
the Common Council Chamber, they went back to
the Hall in procession. Dinner was served on the.
Brincipal tables at
