LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

The 9th of November, so important an era in the civic his-
tory of the ancient city of London, happening this year to be
Sunday, the 10th, was, in due course, set apart for what has
been known from time immemorial by the good people cf the
metropolis as the " Lord Mayor's Show." At an early hour
the eay which was to witness the decadence of one civic mo-
narch, and the rising sun of another, was ushered in by the
ringing of bells and other popular demonstrations of rejoicing.
Barriers were thrown across all the thoroughfares that com-
municated with the Guildhall or the. streets through
which the line of procession was to pass ; and the
City police, under the superintendence of Mr. Commissioner
Harvey, were stationed at suitable distances to preserve order
throughout the route. The arrangements within the Guild-
hall were under the management of the Deputy Sheriffs and
a committee of management, and appeared to give general
satisfaction to those who had the privilege of entree. About
half-past ten o'clock the newly-elected Lord Mayor (Mr.
Alderman Johnson) arrived in the state carriage, and was
received, on alighting, with considerable applause. The
Sheriffs and the late Lord Mayor arrived about the
same time; the splendid, and at the same time chaste
and elegant equipages of these civic dignitaries contrasting
most advantageously with the large and unwieldy ginger-
bread carriage in which the City monarch for the coming
year had to display himself to his admiring subjects. After
partaking of an elegant dejeuner provided for the occasion, the
procession formed in front of the Guildhall. On the state
carriage driving up to receive the Lord Mayor, a circumstance
occurred which might have been attended with serious con-
sequences. One of the carriage wheels came in contact with
a portion of the temporary wooden porch fitted up in front of
the Hall, and brought it with a crash to the ground. Fortu-
nately it did not fall on any of the parties who were crowded
beneath to see the company depart, else the result might
have been fatal, or at least attended with broken limbs. The
detached piece of wood, however, fell within a few inches of
them, and was instantly removed by the officers in attend-
ance. The procession left the front of the Guildhall shortly
before twelve o'clock, in the following order :
