THE 'LORD MAYOR AND HIS CATTLE

fio TIIE Eliti:Ort. OF THE SUN.
R,—From contintlinsreadnig your t
perceive you to bee great:friend to the Ladies ;
ther*olOre make bold to request you will be good
emitliol to throw a little solar light upon the rt.--
Marks of a true but ,antiqn.ited ,Etigli.di dame
Notwithstanding the ,teat rage there has'been
tor Polities during the last twenty years, the rea-
son why I know not, but 1
have neve',r_, relished
them;, and - then:fore, in reading 'fire SuN,- illy
attention has always been directed to dmitestic
news. Lately I :have been very much diverted by
the novel Contest at Guildhall; anti the great
trouble the Lord Mayor has taken to increase his
popularity. (live the devil his tine, say I, I 4111
as willing as Mt. White or Waithman to give his
Lordsltip credit for his exertions regarding the
Police and Billingsgate Market ; but, in my opi-
nion, his merit would be still greater, if what has
nceo done lie, had done for the benefit of the City
alone, and he had no advantage to expect from it
hereatier. But I ant an old woman ; I have al-
ready deviated from what I umeant to say. You
know, Sir, his Lordship was determined to try
his strength in the City at Gqildhall; anti by the
Papers, which say he is to be drawn by the many-
headed Monster from Westminster to Guildhall,
I think he is now either determined to try
.the
strength of the Citizens, or grudging the. good
meat he gave them befnre the election, tears he
shall have. no other chance of making (hens useful
to him.

I “, c t the other night, Mr. Editor, to a tea,
alias a scandal party, and I there lreard it w►►s the
intention of- the Common Council to vote an in-
ereasay of salary to their favourite. If it be true,
it proves the truth of the old proverb : Put a
beggar on horseback he ►will ride to the devil. So
it will be with the friends of Reform, if they are
allowed to go on so. The City, I have heard, is
not at present very rich, but if they are to
manage the cash, I am afraid it cannot long re-
mai►► in a state of solvency, notwithstanding they
talk so much al►out economy. •

Like kin old woman/1 could go on much longer;
but 1 feel 1 have intruded on your goodness al-
ready too much.,
Coagralniating his Lordship's horses (although
some call them greys, 1 think them wurrEs) on
the assistance they are abwit to.) ectiee from.tlie
assinine fraternity,'
I em, Dear Mr. Editor,
Your much obliged Maid,
DOROTHY.

The predil,..erimi of a Noble Poet, now
exhihit at restive Itatri, a Inlrwin
skull as 4,dnioltiog cop,, in 'imitation of the
.tyrAti-
oir. rrngeunee 'hushantrl
.over adtilteresses, re-
latectio some old roma(!tie toles, is likely to he
estaidistied as a tashiouab!e, however it may be
tiescribel,as a elepraved taste, among the votaries
loilv and ideasure. The Go/got/waits, or Char-
nel Club, sipadv is. ii) he held in
11 room, or vault, fitted,. Lt) in imitation of the
principal earacomb at Paris ; the 'chairs are.to
have hacks resemblim: gravestones, and the ,sot as
take .014 it fot ms - om tbe hearse, having sable
plumes wiiving over, in form of a canopy.. 'Foch
member is to be habitrd in .t white silk shroud,
artd,the attendants are to he clad in the wirtl of
sextons and gravevliglzers, who are to port! the
vanit strictly against Ow entrance of atty
resnr-
rection inen. The tact '^r of Members'is not to
exceed twenty-five, of which only seientean have
not been nominated.

Aprincipal candidate for the Chair has launched
an elegant and highly-finished skull cup, mita-
molted and lined with silver with elaborate inge-
nuity. It is mounted on a human thigh bone,
and stands above 2 feet •in height, with wrought
silver feet. Around it are G smaller cups, wholly
silver, modelled to imitate skulls, with chased
stems representing earth-worms. These singular
and grave toys are supposed to have cost the
thoughtless.owner near 20Q0
• At one of the sepulchral banquets, held to ini-
tiate au intended member of the Charnel Club,
there happened rather a singular accident : the
elect, having - been pledged. front the chair with
the polace ot' the soul,, as the large and mystic cop is
inscribed, glancing, his eve at the form while
raising it to drink, he suddenly shuddered, from
the fancied likeness the imperfect visage bore to
his deceased father, and alter uttering
,a wild
howl, he declared, the supposed similitude. At
firkt this trifling event called forth a burst of ridi-
cule front the lions of Bond-street, which was fol-
lowed by a strong charge: of cowardice. Again
the novice elevated the cup, .it approached his lip,
the skeleton jaw tnoved, and every beholder heard
the• gnashing of teeth. From this Circumstance
it was proposed, that not any Member should be
expected to pledge front any skull which , was
thought like a parent ;, bat the law watt corrected
by substituting the word fattier, the archives of
the Golgotheans being deficient in proof that wo-
men possess the palace qf the seal.
