THE CIVIC PROCESSION.

It having been intimated that the joining of the Benefit and Trade
Soden. of Metropolis would add to the beauty and pietapicturesque ef-
' feet of the City procession, op the visit,of their Majesties to Gu
' on Lord Mayor's Day, a meeting of Delegates from these Societies was
held on Monday evening, at the White Hart Tavern, B
street t there was a very large assemblage, and some of theish;Ctillpar;
Societies had delegates in attendance.
Mr. Macatx was called to the Chair, and be explained the objects
of the wasting. They were called together for the purpose of adopting
mama to greet their Majesties on their entrance into the City on the
Bth of November; and it was desirable that the members of the dit.
ferent fraternities of the metropolis should, on that occult" assemble
and take up different stations to be allotted to them in the
line of procession, and to reserve ample room for the Royal party
pass in the centre without obstruction. When they beheld a •
who, unlike many of his peedeceseors, was anxious to be popular,
who seemed desirous of the proud name of " a Patriot King," it was,
no doubt, his wish, on the coming occasion, to be surrounded by his
people, in whose hearts he seemed to wish to reign by love, in pre.
facture to any military escort. (Hear hear.) The present was only
a preliminary step ; they would hereafter have to consult their res-
pective Societies on the subject. He trusted they all perceived the pro-
priety of this compliment to their Majesties, and would cordially co.
operate with them.
Mr..l. H. Baena moved a series of resolutions, which were aid-
manly withdrawn foe others. He hoped they would bear in view,
throughout this &fear, one particular point—that was, in 'bowing
their loyal respects to the Ring, and particularly to her gracious Ma-
jesty, as they were now enabled to do, by their acceptance of the City
invitation. They would let her Majesty, who was a foreigner, see the
emblems of their ve aafts ; this they were bated to do the
move, when they the ostensive patronage which the Queen
bad amity bestowed upon the trades and manufactures of her subjects.
They would assemble to show • their Majesties that what they bad
done shad their seaman to benefit the people had truly secured
them a thane in the hearts sad sake-dons of all, and mare per.
ticularly of the working elawas, and so let them haat that the
surest foundation of a great was to be found in the
waited energies of the working part of the comentaty.--(Chess.)

The supreme power was new vested in the hands of a good aail
Kap, who, they all felt convinced, would make use tithe sceptre
in his hands for the benefit of every subject in Aft .)
The object of their coming forward was, to have the members these
Societies form a line at ash aide of the way through which the proms-
sioo was to pass, and thus preserve order, prevent interruption, and al-
low the spectators to have a better view of the whole. His Majesty had
shown that he preferred being surrounded by his people, to Military
guards. They would then both gnat the Royal *lobes, and &mem
state that a popular King was nowhere so safe as in the arms of the
hard-working classes of his subjects.
Mr. Witmer? wished to know by whose authority they would thus
foam the intended line ? In all potability the new policeM a

authority, they would be perhaps placed in an awkward sifted*.
The Caantatart said the subject was at present before the City Al-
dermen, for their consideration ; and, as respected the City, he int.
perhaps, state that the permission would be obtained. A Clan

entatitute it had not arrived ; a great properties of the Aldermes were
desirous that they should assemble on the coming ocarina. With re-
gard to Westminster, epplicadoo should also be made, and to the high-
s at authaity.
Mr. Baowx thought these details subjects for monlierradaa for a
future meeting. The present object was to know what Rea they maid
muita, to display their gratitude to the Ring and Queen. '
In answer to some other questkee, the Carantrart laid that. it. was
expected every person would cease famed, either at their eat ea-
pane, or that of the Society to which thej belonged, if there was
'lnnis for that purpose ; they ought rather to pay for their loyalty
than be paid for it.
The resolutions were then pat and carried. The fire appointed a
Committee of Management, with power to add to their numbers ; the
maid instructed this Committee to ascertain, as soon as possible, what
facilities the sutherities in the has of procaelan *yule Mired them is
carrying their object into effect ; and the lest used a day fee a future
meeting. The Deputies then separated.
