Yesterday the Lord Mayor Elect was presented
by the Recorder of the City of London to the Lord
Chamberlain, for the purpose of being approved of as
Chief Magistrate, by the Queen. The Lord Mayor
Elect was accompanied by Alderman Gibbs, Sir
George Carroll, Sir Chapman Marshall, Sheriffs
Hooper and Pilcher, the Comptroller, the Solicitor,
and several other of the principal officers of the Cor-
poration. They were received in the most polite
manner by the Lord Chancellor.
The RECORDER in introducing the Lord Mayor
Elect, said, "My Lord, I have the honour to present
to your Lordship John Humphery, Esq., elected by
the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor
for tl-,e ensuing year. I hereby certify to your Lordship
that the laws, customs, and charter of the City, have
been duly observed in the election of this gentleman.
Mr. Humphery was born and has passed the greater
portion of his life within the borough of Southwark,
and, consequently, in the immediate vicinity of the
City of London. He is directly descended, in the
female line, from Sir William Webbe, Lord Mayor of
London in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, his an-
cestor having filled the office 'iR the year 1591.
Mr. Humphery had attracted the attention of the
citizens of London in the diligent and successful care
of his business and mercantile pursuits, and was
elected one of the Sheriffs of London in 1832, and in
the same year became one of the representatives in
Parliament for the borough of Southwark. At the
close of his Shrievalty Mr. Humphery received the
marked approbation of his fellow-citizens conveyed
in the unanimous vote of thanks of the Livery of
London in Common Hall assembled, and, upon a
vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Alderman
Thorpe, Mr. Humphery was elected by the inhabitant
householders of the Ward of Aldgate into the office
of Alderman of the 'Ward, a post which he has occu-
pied to the present time. Yrom the year 1832 he has
enjoyed the distinction of representing his native place
in four successive• Parliaments. The citizens of Lon-
don entertain the confident expectation that the ex-
perience and habits of business he has acquired as a
merchant, a Magistrate, and a Member of Parlia-
ment, will enable him to discharge, with honour to
himself and with advantage to the community, the
important duties of Chief Magistrate of their ancient
city. They have elected him in the full persuasion
that he whom they have chosen will set an example in
his person of loyalty to his Sovereign, will piously
and faithfully administer the laws of his country, and
preserve the peace of the metropolis; that he will up-
hold the dignity of his station, and zealously maintain
the privileges of his fellow-citizens, and upon these
grounds, in their name, and in their behalf, I now
humbly crave her Majesty's most gracious approbation
of the choice the citizens have made of Mr. Hum-
phery, their Lord Mayor Elect."
The Loan CHANCELLOR said he felt much grati-
fication in announcing her Majesty's approbation of
the choice made by the citizens of London of a Lord
Mayor for the year ensuing, and her perfect convic-
tion that Mr. Humphery would satisfactorily perform
the duties of the office to which his fellow-citizens
had elected him.

The Lord Mayor Elect gave a splendid entertain-
ment in the evening at the Bridge Hotel, in the
Borough.

ROYAL HOSPITAL, GREVILLE-

STREET.

The Lord Mayor took occasion, in the course of
yesterday, to mention in the Justice-room that he had
called public attention to the letter of a benevolent
individual, inclosing 51. for the use of the admirable
institution in Greville-street, which was soon to be
transferred to the spacious building in Gray's Inn-
lane, in which Messrs. Seddon forme, ly carried on
their business. He had ascertained i hro.igh innu•
merable channels that the amount of go xl accom-
plished by that charity, although confined and fettered
in its resources, was incalculable, and he should feel
the greatest pride in rendering service to it now that
a grand experiment was about to be made by the Di-
rectors to extend its benefits. It was, therefore, with
the most earnest anticipation of a bountiful subscrip-
tion in aid of the noble efforts of those who had
nourished the hospital into an existence which pro-
mised to be durable, he appealed to the friends of
diseased and prostrate indigence. It was at the close
of a year of office, during which Providence had been
pleased to grant him health, that he solicited the as-
sistance of those beneficent persons with whom the
metropolis abounded, to advance the objects of an in-
stitution calculated and intended to bestow upon mul-
titudes that greatest of blessings. He called upon
those who were capable of estimating the value of an
establishment, the doors of which were open to the
most mist cable outcast every hour in the twenty-four,
and in which skill and humanity were combined
in the most powerful manner to arrest and con-
quer the progress of disease. His Lordship felt
convinced that the publication of two letters which
he just laid his hands upon, would be followed by a
flourishing announcement of subscriptions, and thus
enable him to congratulate himself upon closing the
Painful labours of his magisterial office by rendering
a benefit to the masses of his fellow creatures who
were in want of medical aid and humane treatment in
every part of the metropolis. It was with genuine
pride lie looked at the glorious results produced by
the great hospitals, so long established in London, and
that feeling vas increased when he beheld the labo-
rious exertions made in Greville-street Hospital, to
soothe those agonies which " stay upon the body long
to the surprise and grief of nature.
The following are the letters to which his Lord-
ship alluded. That subscribed " M." had been sent to
the Times newspaper, accompanied with a request
that it might be transmitted to the Lord Mayor:—
'
" Mr Loun—Having read the letter addressed to
your Lordship by A Friend in Need,' describing the
prompt and spirited conduct of the Governors of the
Greville-street Hospital, and feeling they deserve the
support of all who are blessed with the means, I follow
the example of your former Correspondent, and inclose
a Si. note in aid of that charity, in full assurance that
many have done and will do likewise.—l am, my Lord,
your Lordship's obedient servant. ' M.
" To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."

"My Loitu:—l so heartily respond' to the senti-
ments of ' A Friend in Need,' whose letter, through
your Lordship's notice, has met publicity, on the in-
calculable benefits arising from the Royal• Free Hos-
pital, in Greville-street, that I beg to make your
Lordship a medium of the inclosed 51., as much with
a view to favour his appeal in its behalf, as with an
earnest desire that the example may influence others ;
also from the facility of making a contribution direct
to the Hospital, it might be justly argued ' how un-
necessary to trouble your Lordship.' Receive this as
my apology, and my sincere wish that your influence
may greatly benefit this admirable Institution,

"From
3 our Lordship's obedient servant,
" A. K. GIFFORD, of 121, Holborn-hill.
" Cheltenham, Oct. 28, 1842."
Ills Lordship, on reading the second letter, observed
that he hoped he should, between that day and the last
day of urinehyoralty (the Bth inst.), have a great deal
of the " cessary trouble" alluded to by his chari-
table correspondent.
