LORD MAYOR'S D.N.

l'efterdav bei the official commeneement r
the new Lord M nagyor's annual reign, was attended
stith the of cal ceremonies. His procellion to
Wearnintter Hall was the great blatinefs of the
pil tof the day. The materials of which it
earlsen-it'd:A arc the Aldermtn, the Conic of
Alialants, the City Contlables, and both the me-
diate and immediate pits of his Lordship's &la-
b:An-tent. The aggr, gate of thefe was yeilerday
2, ortat and as fplendid as anal. Being properly
roarthalled, and arranged, it began to move from
guildhall about twelve o'clock, and proceeded up
arett, and down Qteen greet, to the Three
Cranes' 'lairs, where the aquatic part of the buil-
t:els commenced, by the embarkment of his Lord-
th,:p. the Aldermen, Sheriffs, City Officers, &c.
in their refpeaive barges. They were greeted on
tsjt way with milk playing, colours flying, and
cceafit.nal falutes of guns from the different wharfs
arcida loud huzzas from the fpedators, who lined
the thole. Old Father Thames fnioothed his
wrinkled front, and yielded an eafy pattage.
oats beat time to the melodies of the minarets on
board. Glittering in gala pride,the poops (hone with
burialled gold, rivalling, in their reflededbeauties,
the fur, beams that played upon the water. Thus
charnisog all hearts, and dazzling all eyes, his
Lordship held his brilliant courfe, and at length
landed in fafety. Having paid his refpetfts to the
Judges, and gone through the ufual forms, his
la,itithip returned to Blackfriar's bridge, attended
bathe following Companies in their barges : the
Ironmongers, Fillmongers, Goldfmiths, Mer-
chant-tailors, Drapers, Skinners, Stationers, A-
pothecaries, dec. At about half pall three the
proceffion reached Blackfriars, and the civic party
thence proceeded in their way to the Guildhall ;
the ironmongers Company, of which his Lord-
fhip is a member, leading the way. The (late
coach was followed by the late Lord Mayor. and
after him came Aldermen Combe, Boyden, Skin-

and Smith, the Chamberlain of London, &c.—
The crowd that attended the proceflion was very
great. The proceffion, aided by the finenefs of the
daysequalled the moll fanguine willies.
The populace condueted themfelves with more
than ordinary decorum. They drew the carriages
of the late Lord Mayor, Alderman Combe, and
Sir Sidney Smith, but except in this ebullition of
their enthufiafm, every thing was fuffered to pro-
ceed with the utmoft regularity and order.
As Sir SIDNEY Smiles carriage was drawn to
the door of Guildhall, feveral perfons in the mob,
having hold of the pole, were run over by a Gen-
tleman's carriage, and fome of them feverelv
bruited and maimed ; but fortunately all of them
were able to walk away.
The doors of Guildhall were opened at three
o'clock, and by four the greater proportion of the
company were affembled. The difpofition of the
tables, and their ornaments, were much the fame
as ufual, except that the tables in the lower Hall
were likewife adorned with temples, pillars, and
other devices inframe. work. The variegated lamps
were difplayed in the ufual fide, and were very ele-
gant. The Duke of York's band was Rationed in
the mufic gallery. About half after four o'clock
the Lord and Lady Mayorefs arrived. On their
entrance the mufic firuck up " Godfavetbe King."
His Lordfhip was received by repeated huzzas
and other marks of approbation. At half after '
five the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr.
Tierney entered at the fame time. They were
followed by the Lord Chancellor, and Lord
Hood; Lords Pelham and Hobart came in about
fix o'clock arm in arm. On the entrance of Sir
Sidney Smith, the band played " Briton: Pile
hive." Sir Sidney was received by repeated huz-
%ars and clapping of hands.
After the per ions of diftindlion had paid their
refpeas to the Lord Mayor, in the Alderman's
chamber, and to the Lady Mayorefs, in the Corn.
mon Council chamber, they proceeded back to the
Hall in proceffion. Dinner was ferved on the
Lord Mayor and Aldermen's tables at ten minutes
after fix o'clock, the band playing " Oh the roil,
kif of Old Eng!and." The Lord Mayor was pre-
ceded by the Mace and Sword-bearer, and follow-

lot Lady Mayoreffts, and the following Noble-

The company were In numerous that tables
were laid out in the Court of King's Bench ; but
even thefe were not fufficient to accommodate the

The ball opened at a quarter before ten, with a
minuet by his Excellency the Swedifh Ambaffador
and the lovely Mifs PRICE. Country dances fol-
lowed, but they fuffered a temporary interruption
in confequence of feveral Ladies fainting, from the
excefs of belt and preffure. Two were carried out
in that Rate into the Hall, where they foon re-
covered. Above a hundred Ladies left the room
at the fame time, from fear of a !imam- fate. The
dreffes were very elegant, chiefly white and flyer,
or white and gold, with oflrich feathers, from
three to five in number, and diamonds in profu-
lion. The drefs of the late Lady Mayorefs was
extremely brilliant. It confined of a robe of black
velvet, and a petticoat of white and gold. Her
head-drefs, a bandeau, ornamented with an aigrette,
a crefcent of diamonds, and white ollrich feathers.

The prefent Lady Mayorefs was elegantly at-
tired in white, purple, and gold. The petticoat
was of white crape, richly embroidered in gold
fprigs ; a loofe drapery in (tripes, and edged with
a large embroidered laurel wreath and large gold
taffels ; the whole fallened and ornamented with
gold rollio, and feftooned with handfome gold
rope and taffils. The train of purple. velvet,
body and fleeves embroidered and ornamented with
gold. The head-drefs to correfpond, with a beauti.
tut plume of oftrich feathers, and fuperb diamond
aigrette. The whole of this drefs difplayad in the
higheft degree the limplicity and elegance of her
Ladyfhip's tale, and was equal, if not fuperior
to any thing we have ever before feen on a fimilar
occafion. Her Ladyfhip went to the banquet in
a beautiful new carriage.
The dancing continued until a late hour. Plea-
fure fparkled in every eye, and beamed on every
cheek ; and the company at length feparated with
many encomiums on the elegance of the enter-
tainment.

A man was run over on Ludgate-hill, as the
carriages were returning, and had the misfortune
to have his thigh broken. He was taken into Mr.
Box's for furgical affillance.

A grand Dinner will be given to-morrow by
Lord HAWKESBURY. The picas are princ!pally
to be of the Corps Diplomatique. General AN-
DREOSSI will of courfe be of the party.

LORD SUNDERLIN'S FETE.—Thurfday fe'nnight
at the church nf Kilbixey, in Ireland, bailt in
Lord SUNDERLIN'S demefne,. by himfeif, and in
which there had been, a few days before, a very
noble organ erected at his expence, a moll fingu-
hir and fplended entertainment was given by his
Lordthip, to a very numerous afremblage of No-
bility and Gentry of the furrounding country.—
The day originally fixed was that of the King's
Acceffion, but the performance was unavoidably
poftponed. The party crowded the church at
twelve o'clock, wpere a feleetion of Sacred Mufic,
chiefly from the workb of HANDEL, was perform-

company, amounting to three hundred perfons,
drove through the Park to the honk of Baranfton,
(the band of the Weilmeath Militia attending in
the great hall), and partook of a collation laid out
in a fuit of apartments communicating with each
other. The very elegant difpofition of the whole
entertainment, the abundance of' the ices, fruits,
wines, cold meats, &c. &c. difplayed at once the
splendid hofpitality and good tafte of the Noble
pet Eons who prefided at the Fete. About fifty of
Lord SUNDERLIN'S particular friends remained to
hipper, which concluded with catches, glees, tongs,
&c. in the very ben ftyle.

A Lu NATI c.—A perfon whore name it appeared
was Richard Nield, gained admittance at Buck-
ingham-houfe, yefterday morning between nine
and ten o'clock. He had penetrated beyond the
Lodge before he was recognized, and was proceed-
ing to the interior of the Palace. An alarm was
given, and Townfend, the active Officer of Po-
lice, who was on the (pot, immediately went and
apprehended him. He exhibited every fymptom
of a man deranged in his intellects; he laid he was
the fon of the Prophet, fent on a divine miffion
from the LORD, and he defired to know whether
any mellages had been left for him at the Palace,
or whether any one had been there to inquire for
him? He defcribed himfelf as related to the King,
with whom he wished to have crunmunication ; he
uttered various other extravagancies„equally indi-
cating a diftempered brain ; he was fecured and
taken to the houfe of Sir RICHARD FORD, where
;re underwent a private examination.—lt appeared
he was from Birmingham, and by trade a chair-
maker, and that he had been lalt year apprehend-
ed for lurking about the Palace. The refult of
-his examination was, his committal to Trahill-
