THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.

Yesterday application was made to the Lord Mayor,
by the Masters of several of the Livery Companies;
to call out by precept the whole of those communities
to erect booths in St. Paul's- churchyard, or to form
themselves in line in the streets through which the
procession will pass.
It is recorded, that when Queen Elizabeth. visited
the City, the. Livery Companies being, drawn out in
line from Temple-bar to the Guildhall, her Majesty
thought proper to dismiss the military attendants ;
and that when the. Spanish Ambassador said to the
Queen, " Where are your Majesty's guards ? " she
replied, pointing to the faithful citizens, "these are
my guards." There is no doubt that if time had
sufficed, the whole of the Livery Companies would,
in the present day, have been anxious to testify their
loyalty by a similar demonstration.
The LORD MAYOR, however, felt and expresed that,
with the limited interval which would elapse before
the Queen's, entry, there would not be sufficient time
to make the requisite arrangements. His Lordship
issued the following letter, and it is understood that
all Liverymen desirous of availing themselves of the_
opportunity of being present, must apply for tickets to
their respective Halls to pass the barriers on the
morning of the day :
" Sir,—l am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor to inform the Masters of the several Livery
Companies, that, although his Lordship does not deem
it expedient to issue any precept to the Companies
upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring the
citizens with her presence, his Lordship does not de-
sire to check the disposition which some of the Com-
panies have expressed, to do honour to the occasion
by erecting stands in St. Paul's-churchyard for the
accommodation of their body."
The Lord Mayor and Committee ':of Aldermen
have passed the accompanying resolution :—" If it is
the wish of any members of your body to occupy the
standings in the Poultry, I have to request that I
may be informed, on or before Friday, at twelve
o'clock, of the number of the tickets which you will
require, as no more will be issued than the space will
conveniently allow.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser-
vant, " H. A. MEREWETHER.

" Guildhall, Oct. 23, 1844."
At a meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, Oct.
23, 1844, in order to prevent accidents in the narrow
parts of the streets through which the procession
will pass,
It was resolved,—That the pavement on each side of
Mansion-house-street and the Poultry be railed off
from Charlotte-row to the corner of Bucklersbury,
and from the corner of Princes-street to the corner of
the Old Jewry; and that no person be permitted to
remain on the pavement within those limits from
seven o'clock in the morning of the 28th, till after her
Majesty shall have quitted the Exchange, unless such
members of the Livery Companies as shall produce to
the police in attendance a ticket signed by the Com-
missioner. MEREWETHER.
The following was yesterday evening circulated in
the City :
