ADDRESS TO THE LORD MAYOR.

The following address to the Lord Mayor was in course
of circulation in the City yesterday. It has already re-
ceived the signature of the principal bankers and mer-
chants, including the governor, deputy-governor, and
directors of the Bank of England, and the chairman and
vice-chairman of the East India Company. It is hoped
that an opportunity of signing the address will be afforded
to the citizens generally before the end of the week, when
t will probably be presented.
" To the Right Hon. David Salomon', Lord Mayor

of London.
" We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and el.
zens of London, desire, on the expiration of your year o,
office as Lord Mayor, to convey to your lordship our
high appreciation of your conduct during a year more
than ordinarily fertile in public events. You commenced
your term of office at a period when England was en•
gaged in a sanguinary war. The arms of the Allies
have been triumphant ; and it has been your peculiar
good fortune to be enabled to proclaim to your
tallow-citizens the restoration of peace to Europe. You
have had the honour of welcoming to the City of London
his Msjestv the King of Sardinia, one of the sovereigns
allied with England, who was sumptuously received in the
Guildhall. A fearful inundation Laving occasioned great
suffering amongst our neighbours in France, our thanks
are peculiarly due to you for affording us an opportunity
of showing bow deeply the British people feel for the
happiness and prosperity of tbeir French neighbours.
Throughout all the varying circumstances of the year
you have admirably maintained the ancient reputation of
our City, and the character of its magistracy. We rejoice
to know that, although placed in a somewhat peculiar
position, your conduct iu office has commanded general
approbation, and that you leave the civic chair enjoying
the high respect and esteem of all your fellow-citizens."
