in full state, left the Mansion-house and proceeded ta Guild-
hall, where they were received by the aldermen and officers
in the aldermen's room, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, Re-
corder and sheriffs being in black Court suits and scarlet
gowns, the Lord Mayor and aldermen who have passed
the chair also wearing their hoods and chains, the alder-
man next in turn for the chair being in full dress, with
lace frills, and the officers in full dress, with their gowns.
A nosegay having been presented to each, according to
ancient custom, by the usher of the court, a procession was
formed from Guildhall to St. Lawrence Church, conducted
by the junior marshal, in the following order:—

At the conclusion of the service the procession left the
church, and returned to Guildhall, where hustings had been
previously erected at the east end, on which the Lord Mayor
took his station, with the Recorder and aldermen who have
passed the chair on his right, and aldermen who have not
passed the chair on his left.

The COMMON CRIER. then desired silence, and formally
declared the Common Hall open for the election of a Lord

Mayor.

The RECORDER, in a few words, exhorted the livery to
do their duty fearlessly and honestly.
The Lord Mayor, attended by the aldermen and Recorder,
then retired to the Council Chamber, preceded by the Mar-
shal and Sword Bearer, leaving the sheriffs, attended by
the Common Sergeant, to proceed to the election.
The names of the aldermen who had not passed the chair
were then read over, and the livery being desired to choose
two out of those aldermen to be returned as their choice to
the Court of Aldermen, a show of hands was taken for
each, separately, and declared to have fallen upon Alderman
Carter and Alderman Cubitt, the next in succession.

The officers then retired to the Court of Aldermen to ac•
quaint that Court with the result of the election.
The Court of Aldermen then "scratched" in the usual
way; the Recorder, Town Clerk, and Common Sergeant
having sorutinised the votes, reported the majority to be in
favour of Alderman Carter, who was thereupon declared to
be duly electtnd 1",,,Yr.4 Mayor for the year ensuing, and con-
ducted by the Sword Bearer to the seat on the left of the
Lord Mayor.
The Lord Mayor, with the Lord Mayor elect on his loft
hand, accompanied by the aldermen, then returned to the
hustings ; and
The RECORDER declared to the Common Hall that Alder-
man Carter had been elected.

The COMMON CRIER then, in the usual form, called upon
Alderman Carter to come, forward, and declare his consent
to fill the office.

The LORD MAYOR elect (who was received with ap-
plause) accordingly advanced to the front of the hustings,
and, after being then invested with the chain of office by
the Sword Bearer, briefly stated his willingness to accept
the office, and his determination, by the help of the corpo-
ration and the support of the livery, to support the honour
and dignity of the office, and maintain the rights and pri-
vileges of the city. He then, having thanked the livery
for his electiop, said he ought not to depart without saying
that it woald be his especial duty to tako care of their
ancient rights, and to see that in any change that might be
proposed by the Government for the better regulation of
the city the rights of the livery were preserved. (Cheers.)
He concluded with a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor.
The LORD MAYOR (Aldo an Wire), in acknowledging
the vote, said thatietaptufmised when elected to devote
his whole time and energies to the duties of the office, and

he could now assure them that since that time ho had not
been absent a single day. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks to tho lord Mayor and Sheriffs closed
the proceedings.

The Lord Mayor elect then accompanied the Lord Mayor
in his state coach to the Mansion-house, attended by the
aldermen, sheriffs, and officers, whom the Lord Mayor will
this evening entertain at dinner.
Not the slightest opposition was offered to the election of
Alderman Carter.

ruled very inactive at Monday's currency. We were fairly
supplied with both English and foreign sheep, which moved

sold at ss. per Sibs. ' The show of calves was limited, and
the veal trade ruled steady at, in some instances, an ad-
vance in the quotations of 2d. per 81b3. Pigs sold steadily
at full prices, but milch cows wore a dull inquiry.
