COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

On the arrival of the civic procession at Westminster-
hall, the chief members of it repaired to the Court of Ex-
chequer, on the bench of which the Lord Chief Baron,
Baron Bramwell, Baron Channell, and Baron Wilde had
already taken their seats.

The Lord Mayor, who stood covered, took his place in the
inner bar, together with the Recorder, Aldermen, Sheriffs,
the City Chamberlain, the Common Sergeant, and other
members of the corporation. A large number of Common
Councilmen sat in the seats in front of the bar.
The RECORDER, addressing the Judges, said he had the
honour to present to their lordships 'William Cubitt, Esq.,
one of the aldermen of the city of London, who had been
re-elected Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year, and
whose election by the citizens of London had met with the
entire approbation of the Sovereign. The gentleman thus
raised to this high office was one whose elevation the
citizens of London looked upon with peculiar satisfaction.
They had known him long, had observed him in the various
relations of life, and judged him to be eminently qualified
for the discharge of the duties of the office upon which he
now entered.

The LORD CHIEF BARON said he had great pleasure in
congratulating the Lord May or on his second election to
the highest honour his fellow-citizens could confer upon
him. He (the Lord Mayor) was there not merely as a
matter of form, but he was there to claim the personal pri-
vileges of the first magistrate of the great City of London,
the immemorial privileges and rights of the first city of the
world. It was not merely that he came there to claim
the right to be covered in the presence of her Majesty's
Judges, where her Majesty herself was presumed to be
present ; it was not that he came there to claim the
ancient privileges of the City of London—as, for
instance, to certify the laws and usages of the corpora-
tion by the mouth of the Recorder. These, although
not immaterial to those who valued ancient cnEtoms and
immemorial rights, were not the great, and he need not
say, not the more obvious purposes of the Lord Mayor's
presence there to-day. It was to identify the great corpo-
ration of which he was now the head with the institutions
of the country, which had produced a state of wealth, pros-
perity, and security with a union of loyalty and liberty such
as the world never before could possibly witness. The Lord
Mayor came there to present the institutions of the city as
forming part of the institutions of the country, where the
great principles of representation, as the foundation of
liberty, and as producing the harmony which was every-
where visible in the constitution under which we lived,
and under which, with the blessing of Divine Providence,
he trusted we should continue to live directed by that
great and good Queen who ruled the destinies of this
country. The Lord Mayor came there to claim for the
city of London all the rights which belonged to that
great city, and they were granted. He came there to
claim the right to appear in court, the right of the
citizens to appoint their own officers, by them to conduct
the business which belonged to the city of London, and
that also would be granted. He could assure the Lord
Mayor that personally he was much gratified in being the
means of conveying to him those sentiments which he now
expressed, and he doubted not but that the good conduct,
the kindness, the integrity, that conduct which had been
manifested conspicuously for truth and benevolence, would
enable him to perform the duties of the high office with
satisfaction to his fellow-citizens, and at the same time
secure the approbation of his own conscience.

The Queen's Rernembrancer then received the oaths of
the Lord Mayor and other officers relating to the city funds,
and receivers were duly appointed.

The RECORDER, in the name of the Lord Mayor and
Sheriffs, invited the judges to the banquet at the Guildhall
in the evening.

The Loup Cll.= BARON said that some of the judges
would have the honour of being present.
The Lord Mayor, Recorder, and others then visited the
other courts for the purpose of inviting the judges to the
banquet, and immediately afterwards the procession returned
to the ally in the same order in which it had gone thither.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER..-FRIDAY.

For the Liverpool Cup there was a slight attempt to move
Lady Ripon, 7 to 1 was freely offered, but later on it was
freely taken. Prince of Denmark was supported at 12 to
1; and there were many offers to take 100 to 7 against
Petra. Sir William appeared in request, as 100 to 6 was
taken and asked for. No higher offers were made against
Russley than 100 to 7. Stockade and Wildman form the
very outside division ; but it would be hazardous to predict
for a day what would form either the inside or outside divi-
sion for this event Closing prices :

THE STARTER AND THE JOCKEYS AT
NEWMARKET.
On the Friday in the Houghton meeting, the, starter
complained that all the jockeys, except the rider of the
Mabel filly (W. Johnson) disobeyed his orders repeatedly,
and started before the flag fell. The stewards fined them
all, except W. Johnson, £5 each, and directed that they
should not tide again until the fine be paid. Subsequently
the stewards remitted the fines inflicted on the following
jockeys, in consequence of their previous good conduct, viz.,
Custance, W. Cotton, B. Martin, Barlow, T. French, Dow-
ling, and Woodhouse.
