Yesterday was one of the days on which it has beets
customary with the Chief Magistrate to entertain the
Judges at the Mansion-house, after Divine Service at
R. Paul's. The Lean MAYOR and the Judges, and,
number of the Members of the Corporation, went to
St. Peers, where the Rev. Mr. WRENCH, his Lordship's
Chaplain, preached. It has been usual to entertain the
Judges and the Corporation, and City Law Officers,at the
Manson-house, on the first Sundays before the first day
of Easter and Ti inky Terms. The Loan MAYOR, however,
has, eves since he was Sheriff, stated objections to this
practice, as breaking in upon the solemnity of the Sab-
bath, by the conviviality inseparable from entertaining
so large a party. It was, however, not possible for
him to discontinue the practice, except in his owa
Mayoralty, although backed in his opinion hyseverai
of his brother Al&vmen. His- Lordship determined
upon putting an end to it the moment be entered upon
his office, and accordingly wrote-to the Judges, stating
the reasons for the change.—The following circular
was sent to each of the Aldermen by the Loan Wilma`
and the Sheriffs :
• The Lean Merest and Sheriffs beg leave to Worm Alder-
man that the entestainmeots which have nasally been game

&miffs beg to aware Alderman —, that nothing but a meow elf
deity, to which every other consideration must yield. would haw
/educed them to depart from a eooll49aaliekled custom. The JARS
Maros and Sheriffs are moat desirous of preserving the intercourse
between the Judges and the Magistracy of the City of Janda:.
and it will afford them great pleasureto communicate to Alderman
-.--, that arrangements have been esedefor continuing it oft ether
days than those above referred to.
