THE SHERIFF'S DINNER.

Yesterday the Sheriffs for the ensuing year,
Messrs. Wilson and Harmer, gave their inauguration
dinner at the London Tavern.

At six o'clock upwards of 200 sat down to din-
ner, the Lord Mayor in the chair.

After the cloth bad been removed, and the
healths of " the King," " the Queen," " the Prin-
cess Vicotria, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
had been toasted with the usual honours, the Lord
Mayor gave " His Majesty's Ministers," a,toast
that was received with great applause.
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the health of
the Lord Mayor Elect, dwelt upon the arduous and
important duties connected with the -bake Which
he was about to vacate, and to which his Hon.
Friend beside him had been reed by the unanimous
suffrages of his fellow-citizens. The citizens of
London possessed a gFrious privilege in the•elec-
tion of their own magistrates—they had exercised
that privilege with discretion and with judgment,
as the conduct of the magistracy of London had uni-
formly proved; and he was sure that in the result

no inquiry—no reform that might be afloat, Would
go to deprive them of such an inestimable right.—
(Cheers.) Of this he was certain, that the conduct
of his Hon. Friend beside him (the Lord Mayor
elect) while he filled the civic chair would fully jus-
tify the choice of his fellow-citizens in selecting him
for that elevated dignity.
The LORD MAYOR Elect returned thanks. He
trusted that by a careful and assiduous attention to
the duties of the office upon which he was about to
enter, he should in some degree endeavour to merit
the distinguished honour conferred upon him by his
fellow-citizens. He would only say that he would
labour earnestly and anxiously, as far as in him lay,
to promote the public good, and to secure an ef-
ficient and salutary administration of justice within
the city of London. He concluded by proposing
the health of the Lord Mayor, which was drank
with general applause.

The LORD MAYOR, in acknowledging the toast,
hoped that the company would excuse him from
making a second speech in the way of returning
thanks, having so lately as Saturday last performed
that duty towards his fellow-citizens for the kind
and handsome manner in which, by an unanimous
vote, they had noticed his services during the past
year, as Lord Mayor of the city of London. He
was not insensible to their kindness, but he had
done his utmost to deserve it. From the moment
he had entered upon the office which he was now
about to quit, and from the onerous duties of which
tie was as glad to escape as a captive bird from the
fowler's net, he had set before him, as his great
and main object, the promotion of the public good,
and he trusted that in the discharge of those duties
(from which, during the whole period of his mayor-
alty, he hid been absent only two days) he had not
deviated from that principle.—(Cheers.)
His LORDSHIP, in proposing the healths of the
Sheriffs, Messrs. Wilson and Harmer, complimented
them on the distinguished honour which had been
conferred upon them by their fellow-citizens. Ho
could speak from experience as to the importance
of the duties which they had to perform; but he
was sure that they could not be confided to abler or
better hands. He was happy to have it in his
power to congratulate the newly-appointed Sheriffs
on the great mitigation that had been effected in the
painful nature of their duties, by the recent wise
ameliorations that the Legislature had introduced
into the criminal code of this country.
Messrs. WILSON and HARMER respectively re-
turned thanks. Several other toasts were given, and
at 11 o'clock the company separated.
