THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.

Yesterday the new Lord Mayor was presented to
the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship was received
i the most warm manner.

THE INAUGURATION DINNER.

After the Czremoily of the presentation, the Lord
Mayor elect proceeded to the hall of the Iron-
mongers' Company, of which he is a member, where
was provided an entertainment which did honour to
the company and to the skill of Messrs. Bleadon and
Alexander.

In the hall, the Lord Mayor elect was met by the
majority of the Court of Aldermen, by his own
Common Councilmen, by Messrs. Routh, Blacken,
and others, the leading members of the Corporation,
Mr. Buller of the Bank of England, Mr. Capel, of
the Stock Exchange, and others, the leading mem-
bers of the trading community.
After the usual introduction to conviviality by the
favourite toasts,

The LORD MAYOR elect rose, and proposed the
healths of the Magistrates of the City of London.
He expressed his satisfaction at the presence of so
considerable a number of that respectable body who
had obtained the well-merited esteem of their fellow-
citizens by their long and valuable services. lie
hoped that he should deserve and obtain the benefit
of their experienced assistance.
Alderman ANsLEY returned thanks on behalf of
his brother magistrates.

The LORD MAYOR elect, in an eloquent speech,
proposed the health of the Governor and Deputy-
Governor of the Bank of England.

The Governor of the Bank of England compli-
mented the citizens of London upon the choice they
had made of a chief magistrate, and declared that the
opinion entertained by the mercantile community of
his Lordship's qualifications to preside in the city of
London was of the very highest order. He then
proposed the health of the Lord Mayor elect.
The LORD MAYOR elect said that the powerful
support of his friends inspired him with confidence.
If he did not exercise all his physical and mental
energies in the performance of his duties, he would
indeed be ungrateful. He was afraid that the zeal
of his numerous friends around him would promise
more than he could perform. He, however, would
do all he could—(cheers)—though he could not do
all he could wish. No exertions should be wanting
on his part to forward the interests of his fellow-
citizens, or to inerit their thanks at the close of his

career.
The company continued together till a late hour
most harmoniously.

AN ENORMoUS COACH.—The Philadel-
I phics Chronicle gives the following description of an enor-
mous coach, now building in that city greatest
object of curiosity, just now in Philadelphia, is a huge
roach, constructing by Mr. J. GLEASON, and intended for
the Citizen's Line, to run between Bordentown and Wash-
ington. New Jersey. This enormous vehicle is divided
into two apartments, one above the other, with seven seats
in each. The whole number of passengers to be carried is
tifty-six : twenty-eight below, and the same number above.
The body of the carriage is thirteen feet long, five feet
wide, and ten in height. When placed on the wheels the
roof will be about 14 feet from the ground. There are
to be no more than four wheels ; those bafore to be about
three feet in diameter, and the others something less than:
six. The breadth of the wheel is IS inches, and each
has a double set of spokes. The baggage is to be car-
ried on a car, attached behind, and drawn on a single wheel
two feet and a half broad. The whole is to be drawn by
twelve horses, three abreast, the driver to be aided by two
postilions. Ire the stages now in use, the same number of
horses, with three men, instead of a man and two boys,
would be able to carry but twenty-seven passengers. It is
calculated that the rate of travel as to speed will be about
the same as the four-horse coaches. This carriage, it is
expected, will beftniahed in about three weeks.
