LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

In accordance with ancient custom, the 11, wly
elected Lord Mayor, Sir Robert Carden, M.P.,
attended by the Sheriffs, procee led to We, inins`er
to-day to have the oaths of office administered to
them by the Barons of the Exchequer. The usual
programme was departed from in a most important
respect, as there wars no procession by water.
His Lordship was escorted to Westminster by the
11th Hussars. There were the juvenile band
of the Royal Military School at Chelsea, the
band of the Life Guards mounted, of the
London Militia, and a large military band.
The procession moved from Guildhall at about
half-past 11, and pasced through Gresham-street,
Lothbury, Bartholomew-lane, Threadneedle-street,
Finch-lane, Cornhill, King William-street, Mar-
tin's-lane, Thames-street, Queen-street, Cannon-
street West, St. Paul's Churchyard, Ludgate-
street, Fleet-street, Strand, to Westminster, and
returned from Westminster, by way of the
Strand, Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's
Churchyard, Cheapside, and King-street, to Guild-
hall, in the following order :

The banquet in the evening at the Guildhall
will, it is expected, be attended by nearly the whole
of the Ministers and a very brilliant company of
guests. Trophies of banners and armour are ar-
ranged on each side of the hall, together with the
arms of nations in alliance with us. The Lord
Mayor's arms and those of the Sheriffs are conspi-
cuously placed, and stands of arms furnished from
the Tower stores also form part of the decorations.
At the west end of the hall will be an illuminated
star, and in the east window the Prince of Wales's
plume of feathers in glass. The hall will be lighted
iu the usual manner with gas, and will present its
ordinary brilliant appearance. In the entrance to
the hall will be placed various suits of armour, and
arms, and flowering shrubs, and in the lobby of
the law courts numerous statues will be arranged.
The display of works of art is much larger and more
creditable than on previous occasions, and these
lobbies and ante-rooms will afford a most agreeable
promenade to the company.

We are informed that the wives of men who have
left a month since for India, and were sent to their
respective parishes, have not yet received the 6d. per
diem allowed by the authorities. Surely to such poor
creatures this slight boon should be given at once.
Procrastination in such cases wonld lead to the ruin
of many.—United Service Gazette.

Guy FAUX NIGHT IN DizTEH.—The Cathedral-yard
was last night the scene of the accustomed Fifth
of November revel. The "General " was absent ;
but the work went bravely on. There was some fear ex-
pressed that in consequence of his absence the revel
would run into riot. But perfect good order prevailed,
and the annual demonstration against Puseyism and
Popery that is now becoming aggressive, was made in
excellent heart and the best temper. The bonfire pile
was 17 feet high. It was built up wish 960 fagots and A
large number of moots (tree root-). The blaze was mag-
nificent. The old Cathedral came out in all its glory, tie
contrast of light and shadow being worth a day'sjour-
ney to see, as the old angles came out and retired amidst
the ever-changing Ughts of the bonfire and the fitful
gleams of brilliancy ovith which coloured pyrotecbny
flooded the air. The trees were full of leaf, and autumn
bad as yet hardly marked the foilage with his warning
band. This fulness of the branches gave new effects to
the old scenes. We bad no settled pageant this year,
no local character to show up to public contempt by tLe
lurid light of this historical flame. The city Puseyites
have settled down into general contempt ; so young
Exeter lets them alone. There had been same idea of re-
minding the Roman catholics of the un-English speeches
of some of the Pope's partisans on the Indian affair ;
but it was thought not right to compromise the whole
body of the English Catholics for the disloyalty of the
Irish and the factiousness of the Pope's subject, Cardinal
Wiseman. The dresses, therefore, were generally gro-
tesque and droll. But military costume prevailed, though

SPORTING NOTES.

--'V'`-........-_

THE LIVERPOOL .LIIEE
Tire \V-irce,•ter cfmonittee were sadly diEappointed by
ire unpropitious weather. The rain Tailed their sport,
and rendered their meeting a failure. The stand on the
first day seemed dreary enough, and only a few dread-
nought turfites were huddled together in the enclosure.
Speculation was, therefore, dull in the extreme ; but
bad there been more backers of horses the bookmakers
would not have had much cause for complaint. The
Selling Stakes did good service to the race find, and the
money derived from them went far to make up for the
deficiency in the grand stand " takings." The alterations
and revisions that were made in the programme proved
moat effective, and, but for the foul weather, the very

praiseworthy exertions of the coa.nmittee would have been
most successful. Mr. Frail i a not the man to be die.
couraged, or else he wouVL abandon his attempt to
establish a meeting at Wen lock, after the poor reward
which he received on Fri, lay. The same cause, how
ever, that militated agains t the Worcester gathering also
operated prejudicially ar ;ainst his undertaking at Wen.
lock. The racing inside ate at the two localities under
notice excited only a p Assing interest, and, as they are
not likely to influence coming events, I shall not refer to
them.

Really the Liverp 00l people owe a deep debt of gra-
titude to Mr. Top' Jam for the energy and liberality with
which he promot es sport at Aintree. Why the incoma
of certain hotel .teepers must be nearly doubled by Mr.
Topham's ere.tions, and yet, to their shame be it spoken
they do 'sot give him much pecuniary assistance.
Nearly the "sinews of war" are derived from him,
and ou 'Aim rests the entire responsibility of either the
failure, or the success of the meeting. Racing men
alone are capable of appreciating his efforts, and they
do so cordially, despite the little grumblings in which
ey occasionally indulge. That the supply of sport
will be satisfactory we may confidently expect from the
rich promise of the programme, and that the muster
of turates will be large is evident from the numbers
who at my present writing hold themselves " under
orders" for Liverpool.
Six events will be decided on each of the first two
days, and seven on Thursday, racing enough surely for
these dreary November days. The Antree Plate may
attract a somewhat large field. Uzella and Flyaway
appear to me to be as trustworthy as anything amongst
the nominations. The Sluggard and Little Cob will
perhaps show the way for the Welter Cup.
Thirty-two youngsters are entered far the Knowsley
Nursery, and at present it is difficult to "spot" the
starters. Polly Peachum, Anne Develin, and one of
Mr. Merry's will, however, be the best to stand on,
For the Juvenile Stakes I shall select Old Times.
Theodine may win the Hurdle Race, unless, indeed,
Miss Harkaway and Chester discover jumping qualities
" I wot not of."

Little Tom and Dusty Miller ought to carry their
colours forward in tLe Surrey Corinthian Handicap ;
and for the Sefton there are three names—Special Li•
cense, Queen Bess, and Weatherglass—which attract
my fancy, and which may be as close together in the
race as they are in the handicap.

Unlucky as Fisherman invariably is in a handicap, yet
I am not inclined to believe that his chance is " out" for
the Autumn Cup. Whether the game old horse, how-
ever, is to be brought out again this season I cannot
tell. Special License came out with " a rattle" at Man-
chester on Friday. Ite is certainly well in, but I be-
lieve him to be suited to a shorter course. I shall
therefore give my preference to William Day's intended
(either ST. GILES or DECEMBER), and to UNDERHAND.
The other stakes have yet to close.

A FRESH MAN.

THE COASPIRACY IN SERVIA.

Subjoined is a synopsis of the report forwarded
by the Belgrade police to the Servian Criminal
Court on the 24th October, on which date the poli-
tical prisoners were handed over to the judges for
trial :--*

" Not long since a horrible conspiracy was discovered,
the object of which was the assassination of the Prince
and the oveithow of the Government. The prin-
cipal conspirators are :—Stephen Stefanovitch, Pre-
sident of the Senate, General and Knight ; Paun
Jankovitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Radovan
Damjanovitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Paul
Staniscbitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight ; and
Zwetko Rajovitch, President of the Court of Cas•
sation. The others are persons who had cognisance of
what was intended. The three persons first mentioned
unanimously agreed that the reigning lord and prince
should be put to death (übije). On being asked
whom they intended to choose as his successor, they
replied, that they had no hope of getting a foreign
prince. The family of Karagjorgjevichs, was to
be altogether excluded, and they had no wish to
have an Obrenovitsch. To judge from the language used
by Stefanovitsch to one Peter Lekitsch, be intended to
have himself proclaimed Regent on the death of Prince
Alexander. Stefanovitsch, however, confessed that he had
entered into communication with Prince Milosch, and
had held out to him hopes of regaining the Hospoda-
Hate. Stefanovitsch had an interview with Miloscb,
at Pesth, and obtained a promise of 5,000 ducats
from him ; but the conspirator never intended to
keep his promise to the old maw, ' who is as
weak ae a little child, and consequently not fit
to be a ruler.' The 5,000 ducats were taken to Belgrade
by a Dr. Patzek, who delivered the whole sum, with the
exception of 150 ducats, which he kept for himself, into
the hands of M. Zwetko Rajovitsob, who sent it to Ste-
phen Stefanovitsch. The latter divided the money in
the following way :—He kept 850 ducats for himself, and
gave M.M. Jankovitscb, Damjanovitsch, Stanischitsch,
and Raj ovitsch 1,000 ducats each. Damjanovitsch
undertook to find a man who would assassinate
the Rospodar, and asked Mrtzajlovitsch, a Cus-
tom-house clerk, it he could recommend a trusty
individual. The reply was in the affirmative, and a
certain Milosaw Petrovitscb, a robber and murderer,
was soon introduced to the principal conspirators.
A passport and a rifle were procured for Milosaw, and,
after information as to where the Prince was to be found
had been given him, 40 ducats were put into his hands
by Paun Jankovitsch as earnest money'"

Her Majesty has been pleased to issue to the late Lord
Mayor (Mr. Alderman Finale) a new Commission of
Lieutenancy for the city of London. and the following
gentlemen have been appointed commissioners :—Mr.
Lewis L'ovd, Mr. C. Magniac, Mr. J. M. Daniel, Mr.
Duncan Dauber, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. G.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE Snow.—The annual
cattle show of the Smithfield Club for 1857 is fixed to
takeplace on Tuesday the Bth, Wednesday the 9th, Thurs-
day the 10th, and Friday the 11th of December, at the
Baker-street Bazaar. The club have increased their money
prizes this year from the usual average of about 6501. to
1,0511. The number of classes into which the show is to be
divided this year has been increased from 32 to 42,
separate classes have been assigned, pursuant to reso-
lutions passed at the last annual general meeting of the
Swithfield Ciub, to the Sussex breed of cattle, Norfolk
or Suffolk polled breed, Scotch polled breed, Icish breed,
and Welsh breed. The stewards for the ensuing chow
are :—For beasts and long-wooled sheep, Mr. James
Hole, Mr. Wm. Sanday, and Mr. Wm. Torr ; for short-
wooled sheep, cross-bred sheep, and pigs, Mr. Edward
Fruit, Mr, Henry Fookes, and Mr. Jonas Webb.
THE LIABILITIES OF MESSRS, NAYLOR, OF SHEFFIELD.
—The satisfactory intelligence has been received from
Sheffield that the liabilities of Messrs. Naylor, Vickers,
and Cu., instead of amounting to 1,000,0001., as reported
in some quarters, do not exceed 450,0001. or 500,0001.,
and that no other firm in the district is likely to be
brought down by their suspension, Some of the prin-
cipal creditors are in Sweden, and the only r(a+on for
delaying till the 24th inst. the meeting at which a precise
statement will be presented is in order that representa-
tives of these parties may be present. It is understood
that the stock of iron held by the firm in America and
England is worth 270,0001., and that every debt owing
to them in America is of a character on which any sound
and prudent house might have implicitly relied. The
blow, therefore, has been one of the most sadden that
has ever fallen on any mercantile establishment, and it
is believed that the entire proceedings connected with it,
instead of damaging the future reputation of the partners,
will add to the confidence hitherto placed in them.—
