To chronicle the events of Lord Mayor's Day is gene-
rally a dull affair. There are few in "Cockaigne"
proper, or indeed in the whole metropolis, who are not
by ocular demonstration familiar with everything apper.
taining to the great annual civic pageant; and beyond
giving an account of the broken heads and other mishaps
which invariably attend the progress of "the first magis-
trate" through the capital to Westminster, the journalist
has little more to do than to fall back on the records of
past years. Still, the Lord Mayor's Shore is looked
upon as one of the inetituttons of the country, and to
speak against it might be considered little less than
treason. This morning, big with the fate of turtles,
opened dull and heavily upon the mighty City, but as
the day advanced the damp hazy fog which floated over
the glorious dome of St. Paul's gradually disappeared,
and civic functionaries and gaudy attired footmen were
heard to exchange mutual .congratulations upon being
able once again to exhibit their finery with the advantage
of a November sun. Long before the City had begun
to assume its wonted bustle and activity the carpenter's
hammer was sounding the noisy note of preparation, and
throughout the line of precession ricketty windows were
secured, dusty flags unfurled, and street barriers erected
to stop intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was, of
course, the sconce of much commotion, and during the
whole of the morning policemen, city marshals, and
liveried flanker, with immense bunches of flowers and
unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a
dreadful state of excitement, while at the various ward
halls, beadles, whose shabby genteel coats were con-
ci'aled beneath heavy cloaks fringed with gold lace, were
furbishing up their wands of office, and solemnly in-
structing their supernumeraries who were engaged in
the pageant. The Lord Mayor haring been duly
installed in the civic palace, his lordship commenced the
duties and pleasure of the day by putting- his cook's
abilities to the test, and entertaining"his friends and
officers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast.
The well-known venerable bat glittering triumphal
carriage, contemptuously dubbed gilt gingerbread, but
to simple juvenilea nothing less than solid geld, brought
by some civic argosies, or paid as tribute to the city
potentate by his subjects in bygone times, having been
ordered to the door, his lordship, attired in his vermillion-
coloured robe, his gold obain, wearing hks hat, decorated
with an undertaker's plume of feathers, which, by-
the-bye, is one of the ugliest things if the procession,
attended by his chaplain, the Recorder, and the
swor4abearer, who wore a perpendicular muff on his
head, large enough to contain all the charters of right
in possession of the Corporation, entered the antiquated
vehicle and drove off to the Guildhall, followed by the
sheriffs. Here for the first time his lordship was wel-
comed and cheered by "the populace" as the Lord
Mayor of London; and having partaken of luncheon
—eating and drinking being the principal, and cer-
tainly the most agreeable features in the cere-
mony his lordship announced it to be his will
and pleasure that the procession should be arranged
in the order in which it was to move on. Accord-
ingly, the City Marshal cot to work ; men in brass
and steel were safely deposited in the saddles of their
powerful but not unruly steeds. Policemen drew their
staves out and commenced to clear the way for the pro-
cession, which having been formed, after much shout-
ing, noise, and prancing of " war steeds'," a flourish of
trumpets was sounded, and his lordship, attended by
the before-mentioned civic officials, having taken his seat
in the state-coach, the procession began its march to the
Palace at Westminster in the following order :

The pageant was to return in the same order as

foi.rovving route : Bridge-street, Ludgr.tc.hill,
Ladg•ete-street, St. Paul's-churchyard, ChcapPide, and

ARRIVAL OF THE LORD MAYOR AT
WEST MINSTER.
CURT OF EXCHEQU.ER.

On the arrival of the civic barges at Westminster, the
Lord Mayor and the oth,ar civic functionaries proceeded
at once to the Exchequer Court. A great number of
pc: one had collected on the bridge to witness the de-
barkation, and Palace-yard and the Hall were also
crowded with spectators. The court itself was filled in
every part, and amongst the auditory were several
ladies.

At about two o'clock the Lord Mayor, the Right
Hoy. T. Q. Finnis, accompanied by the Recorder, a
number of Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the "[leder Sheriffs,
the City Solicitor, the Chamberiain, the High Bailiff of
Southwark, and several members of the Common Council,
entered the court. The civic party took a standing
position on the bench reserved for Queen's counsel.
At this moment the ]earned judges took their seats
upon the bench, each wearing a black cap, a circum-
stance which elicited an irrepressible burst of laughter
from the members of the bar and the crowd in court,
which ebullition of mirth. their lordships could not re-

frain from joining.
The, learned Recorder then addressed the Court, as is
usual on such occasions, and introduced the Right Hon.
Thomas Quested Finnis to their lurdships. The learned
gentleman entered at length into the principal events of
his lordship's life, and having intimAted to their lord-
ships that her Majesty had signified her approval of the
choics the citizens of London bad made,
Tee Lord Chief Baron congratulated the new Lord
Mayor on attaining to the high honour uf first magis-
trate of the greatest city in the world.
The Lord Mayor having bowed his acknowledgments,
was then sworn in the usual form.

The late Ltrd Mayor was also sworn to render unto
her Najeity a full account of the receipts on account of
the Crown during his mayoralty, and to " behave him-
self properly," according to the old form of oath, whilst
he did so.

The other formalities having been gone through, the
Recorder invited the judges to the banquet in the Guild-
hall this evening.
The Lord Mayor, the 1 sta Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
and the officers of the City,, then withdrew.
The procession returned to the City in the Fame order
as on its coming.

THE GREAT WROUGHT IRON GUN.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE RECENT TRIALS

AT STWEBTJRYNESS.

We stat'd the other week that the trials made with
the 13-inch wrought irou monster gun, manufactured by
Messrs. Horsfall, at the Mersey Works, Liverpool, and
presented by tbem to the ot.untry on the condition that
it should " be used againet the enemy," were eminently
successful. We mentioned on that occasion, in general
terms, the nature of the trials and the distances of range
obtained ; but we ara now in a position to place before
our readers the official report, B.'lowing the results of 50
rounds, each fired with a 501 b. charge, .the projectile
being solid shot, 280Ib. weight. 'fee length of the gun,
it will be remembered, is 15 feet 10 inchev, and its
weight (exclusive of the carriage) esi cwt. The sub-
joined table gives the elevation of Ole gun in each
round, the range, deflection, time of flight, &c.

On referring to Sir Howard Dougla,ss's important
work on naval gunnery—the great authority on ail
questions of artillery—we find that these ranges exceed
by about 10 per cent. the ranges of the beat solid shot
guns in her Majesty's service, and by 20, to 25 per cent.
those of the 8 and 10-inch (shell) guns. We noticed in
this paper about a fortnight ago a paragraph stating that
this large wrought iron gun was about to be tried against
the bomb-proof floating battery Etna. We are very glad
to bear that the Admiralty has decided upon such a test.
The experiment would be viewed with the greatest in-
terest by the scientific world, and its results would have
no slight effect upon the minds of those who are disposed
to be the enemies of Ecgland in other parts of Europe.
Remembering the trials at Formby, when wrought iron
plates of a similar strength and sin to those which pro-
tect the sides of the Etna were blown to splinters, we
confess to a belief in the probability that the Etna would
be speedily lost to the nation. The experience would,
however, be worth the sacrifice ; for of what use would
be an arm that should fail in the day of battle'? And
how shall we know that it will not fail without being
subjected to sufficient test ? That the Etna will bit,
and that the gun will be found the most formidabi.e
weapon for offence or defence yet produced, we have
reason to believe. This is no argument against the ex-
periments being made, and that speedily.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The subject of a great musi-
cal celebration of the centenary of Handel's de'tb, in
1859, has already occupied considerable attention. In
order to demonstrate the capabilities of the Crystal
Palace for this purpose, arrangements have been con-
cluded between the Sacred Harmonic Society and the
directory of the Crystal Palace Company for under-
taking, in May next, in the central transept a preli-
minary Grand Handel Festival or Congress with a
carefully selected orchestra of the unprecedented ex-
tent of 2,300 performers.
PARDON FOR POLITICAL OFFENCES.—The Queen has
signified her pleasure that a full and free pardon should
be granted, under the Great Seal of Great Britain and
of Ireland respectively, to all persons suffering under
the consequences of conviction far political offences.
This fall and gracious measure will be of the greatest
consequence to many suffering pnnishtnent or privation
for political acts, especially those like Mr. Smith O'Brien,
O'Doherty, &c., in Ireland; and Frost, Williams, and
Jones, in England, who were convicted of high treason
and sentences to death, with all the accompanying dis-
qualifications consequent upon so serious a crime. What
had hitherto been done merely remitted the punishment
inflicted in each case, but a pardon under the Great Seal
restores the indivi,loals to ail their civil righ"s and sta-
tions us they stood beinro trial. They can now lioH.e•s
ir,hflit bonds, and enjoy all the privii, aid digni-
ties in the State. 'This ulgh act of Royal clemency of
course does not include those who broke their parole, or
incurred the additional penalty of flying from the sen-
tence of the law.

Although partial failures of the turnip crop are com-
plained of in acme districts, the supply of food for winter
ase is unquestionably large. From most quarters our ac-
counts respecting the health of the stock, both beasts and
sheep, aro favourable.

There was rather a large supply of foreign stock in to
day's market.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were rather extensive as to number,
but their geyieral quality was inferior. For all breeds we
had a very dull trade, at a decline in the quotations, com-
pared with Monday last, of from 2d to in some instances
4d per Sibs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s
8d per 8113 s.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor-
thamptonshire amounted to 2,G00 short-horns, from other
parts of England 40) of various breeds, from Ireland 1,000
oxen, and from Scotland 100 Scots.

There was a considerably idling off in the supplies of
nearly all keeds of sheep, the condition of which was but
middling, and the mutton trade ruled steady at an improve_
moot in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. The best old Downs
realised 5s 2d por Slbs.

We had an increased supply of calves in the market.
Although, she veal trade was steady, Friday's improvement
in value was not supported ; nevertheless the quotations
