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 Mayer's Show is looked
upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to
speak against it might be considered little less than 1
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 ae,ain 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 procession ricketty windows were
secured, dusty flaps unfurled, and streot barriers erected
to stop intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was, of !
course, the scence of much commotion, and during the
whole of 'the morning policemen, city marshals, and
liveried flunkeys, with immense bunches of flowers and
unexceptionable limbs, were ,flitting
,to and fro in a
dreadful state of excitement, while at the various ward
balls, beadles, whose shabby genteel coats were con-
cealed 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 having 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 but glittering triumphal
carriage, contemptuously dubbed gilt gingerbread, but
to simple juveniles nothing less than solid gold, 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 ohs,* wearing his hat, decorated
with an undertaker's plume of feathers, which, by-
the-bye, is one of the ugliest things in the procession,
attended by his chaplain, the, Recorder, and the
sword-bearer, 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-
corned 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 set 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 :
Police Constables to clear the way.
Drums and Fifes.
The Boys belonging to the Royal Marine Society, with
Banners.

The novel part of the procession was that contributed by
Mr. Sheriff Mechi—viz., the Traction Engine and End-
less Railway, especially adapted for agricultural pur-
poses. It was drawn by six horses, and attracted great
curiosity. This was followed by the prize reaping ma-
chine from Tiptree Hall, and Fowler's steam plough
figured for the first, and perhaps the only, time in a pro.
cession through the heart of Lonthm. On arrival at
Loodon-bridge his lordship "took water."
The river procession was made up in the usual man-
ner. First there was his lordship's barge, and then that
of thelate Lord Mayor's, and bringing up the rear was a
thick cluster of smaller craft belonging to the several
liveries. The wharves and bridges throughout the
whole raute were numerously attended, and the cheer-
ing that greeted his lordship was only exceeded by the
number of royal salutes fired from different parts of the
river.

AR RIVAL OF THE LORD MAYOR AT
WESTMINSTER.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
On the arrival of the civic barges at Westminster, the
Lord Mayor and the other civic functionaries proceeded
at once to the Exchequer Court. A great number of
persons 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
Hon. T. Q. Finnis, accompanied by the Recorder, a
number of Aldermen, the sheriffs, the Under Sheriffs,
the City Solicitor, the Chamberlain, the High Bailiff of
South wark, 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, each
wearing the black cap.
At this moment the learned judges took their seats

400 Wiitp&fl

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 erowd 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 lordships. 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,
The Lord Chief Baron congratulated the new Lord
Mayor on attaining to the high honour of first magis-
ti ate of the greatest empire in the world.
The Lord Mayor having bowed his acknowledgments,
was then sworn in the usual form.

The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render unto
her Majesty 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, whils
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 late Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
and the officers of the City, then withdrew. '

The procei,sion returned to the City in the same order

as on its coming.

TCHELL, Lieut.-Col., C.R,A.,
Superintendent.
On referring to Sir Howard Douglass's important
work on naval gunnery—the great authority on all
questions of artillery—we find that these ranges exceed
by about 10 per cent, the ranges of the best 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 hear 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 England in other parts of Europe.
Remembering the trials at Formby, when wrought iron
plates of a similar strength and size 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; fJr 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 fail,
and that the gun will be found the most formidable
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.

TUE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The subject of a great musi•
cal celebration of the centenary of Handel's cloth, in
1859, has already occupied considerable attention. In
order to demonstrate the capabilities of the Crystal
Palace fur this purpose, arrangements have been con-
cluded between the Sacred Harmonic Society and the
directory cf 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 bas
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 for political offences.
This full and gracious measure will be of the greatest
c:-.nsequence to many suffering punishment 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 crinve. What
had hitherto been done merely remitted the p anishment
inflicted in each case, but a pardon under th'i Great Seal
restores the individuals to all their civil rights and sta-
tions as they stood before trial. They ca-n now pos, e:;s
and inherit lands, and enjoy all the privileges and digni-
ties i❑ the State. This high act of Royal clemency of
course does not include those who broke their parole, or
incurred the additional penalty of Eying from th,ft hen-
tense of the lacy.

CORN EXCHANGE

Only moderate supplies of English wheat were on salo in
t'se leading country markets held on Saturday; nevertho.
less the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices had
a downward tendency. Spring corn, especially inferior
barley, was very dull.
Most of the Continental markets continue heavy for
wheat and other produce. In the quotations, however, no
material change has taken place. From New York we learn

that largo supplies of wheat were coining forward.
Tho arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
wero small. From abroad we received 12,881 quarters of
wheat, 6,670 barley, 29,340 oats, -1,716 beans, 120 peas,
744 tares, 290 linseed, 910 rapeseed, 130 mustard seed, 210
sundry seeds, 1,326 sacks and 453 barrels of flour.

Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the
receipts of English wheat this morning wero only moderate
in quantity, but we observed a decided improvement in
the condition of most of the samples, compared with many
previous weeks. Although the stands were rather scantily
filled, the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish
state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Mon-
day last, of from is to 2s per quarter. Nearly the whole
of the supply on offer was composed of nosh samples.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, we
were fairly supplied. Although the demand for all kinds
was in a very sluggish state, and a limited business was
doing, importers were firm. Prices, however, ruled no-
minally the same as on this day week.

Floating cargoes wore steady. Fine barley sold rather
steadily at full quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts
moved off heavily, and, in some instances, prices were is
to 2s per quarter lower,

SEEDS.
Linseed meets a ready sale, and prices are in favour of
sellers, especially for arrival. Linseed and rape cakes con-
tinue steady at last week's prices. Rape and oil seeds are
in moderate demand, at improved quotations.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

There was a slow inquiry for malt, at last week's cur.

Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock,
Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Dir.
Baron Watson.

The show of Irish and foreign oats was extensive, and
11,3 trade consequently ruled heavy. Damp parcels were

,his case. The action was brought by the plaintiff, a
master tailor of London, against the directors of th e
Great Northern Railway for a breach of contract, and
was tried a few days since before Mr. Baron Martin,
when the learned judge directed the jury not to give
greater damages than ss. The plaintiff', in October last,
having made arrangements to visit his customers in the
North of England, took a ticket, and paid hie fare at
the King's-cross station, to be conveyed to Hull on the
arrival of the train, which was late, at Great
Grimsby. He found there was no conveyance on
that night to Hull and that although the
Great Northern Company had advertised to con-
vey passengers to Hull, their line stopped at Great
Grimsby. On the following morning the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lancashire Railway refused to convey the
plaintiff on to Hull without paying the fare, is. 4d. The
learned counsel based his motion on the ground of mill.
direction on the part of the learned judge, who directed
the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff for the recovery
of the direct consequences arising from the breach of the
contract, and that was the railway fare from Great
Grimsby to Hull—his bed, supper, kc., he would have
had to have paid for if he had gone on to Hull thatnight.
The learned counsel contended that the learned judge
ought to have left it to the jury to assess the damages.
The Lord Chief Baron said that when a breach of
contract took place the party aggrieved had a right to be
put in the same position, so far as money was concerned,
as if the contract had been performed. The law took no
notice of a man's vexation. Everybody must admit there
was some in being kept waiting at a railway station and
finding the company had broken its contract.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE S. HOOL

This bankrupt was described as a paper manufacturer
at Maidstone, and silk merchant in Gloucestershire, and
to-day came up for his certificate.

The balauce-sheet, commencing January, 1855, and
ending April, 1856, shows—Debtor to creditors, 6,2201.;
to ditto holding► security, 3,8121. Creditor—Good
debts, 5451.; doubtful, 2351.; property realised, 1,6181.;
ditto in the hands of creditors, 1,6001.; trade expenses
1,6111.; house ditto, 8361.

His Honour, on referring to the report of Mr. Pennell,
the official assignee, said that the bankrupt was deficient
in Jan. 7, 1855, to the extent of 4,2501., and he ought
to have stopped at that time instead of going on increas-
ing his debts to such a large amount.

Bankrupt's solicitor said that bankrupt bad been in
partnership with a person against whom the assignees
claimed 1,5001. on the partnership account, and pro-
ceedings in Chancery had been taken to recover it, that
sum and the then value of his property would have con-
siderably reduced, if not covered the deficiency, and
the bankrupt was going on by the assistance of his
friend, but was stopped by proceedings pressing him.
The paper business was estimated to produce 3,0001. a
year.

His Honour asked Mr. Pennell what would be the
amount of the dividend ?

Mr. Pennell said from 2s. to 3s. in the pound, but if
the assignees succeeded in the suit it would consider
ably increase.

His Honour---" If "—a very good word in its wayj;
but what follows it I &Chancery suit is a bad "if " tO
begin with.

The Solicitor said that strong hopes of success were
entertained.

His Honour said that there was one thing in the
bankrupt's favour, which was that his books had been
well kept. Under these circumstances, the case might
be met with a suspension of the certificate for nine
months from the date of the petition, then to be of the
third class. Protection was granted.

POLICE INTRTJ.TGENCE.— (This Day.

SOUTH WARK.

CHAIM& OP SHOPLIFTING.—Margaret WC/8111 Oita -
'otte May, and Sarah. Clarks, three young women of

Tespectable appearance, were brought charged with
•tealing a piece of plaid stuff from the shop of Mr.
Akerman, linen draper, New-cut, Lambeth. John
Breman, an assistant to the prosecutor, stated that
about 5 o'clock in the evening he saw the prisoners
standing in front of the shop looking at some pieces of
printed calico exposed there for sale. Near the doorway
was a piece of plaid stuff. Welsh moved towards -t
while the others covered her with their shawls while she
stooped down, pulled up the plaid, and put:itlunder her
dress. May came into the shop and asked to look at
some ribbons, and the prisoner kept behind evidently to
receive anythin; she might purloin. Witness immedi-
ately went and called up his employer, who sent him
fora Police-constable, and on his return the prisoners
were given into custody.

Thomas Akerman said that he was at tea at the time,
and on being called into the shop by last witness he saw
the prisoners endeavouring to make their exit. He
stopped them, and asked Welsh what she had under her
shawl. She replied nothing. He, however, lifted her
shawl, and the piece of plaid produced fell from her.
Last witness then came in with a police•constable, and
he gave them all into custody. There could be no
doubt, from the manner in which the robbery was com-
mitted, that they were expert shoplifters.
Police•const`able, 82 L, said he took the prisoners into
custody. He bad made inquiries since then, and could
not ascertain whether they had beeu previously convicted
of felony.

Mr. Burnham asked the prisoners whether they would
prefer being tried by him or going to the sessions. If
the former, they must all plead guilty.
The prisoners pleaded guilty, and hoped his worship
would be lenient with them as it was their first offence.
Mr. Burnham said he could not believe that from the
manner in which they committed the robbery. How-
ever, as they were not previously known, he should not
inflict the full punishment, but sentence each of them to
four months hard labour iu the House of Correction.
