went idtheir state carriages, *hid' were launched
for the first time that morning, to the Mansioipbotne,
where thligided Mayor and the Officers of the Cor-
poration were 'prepared to receive them. •At clever,
they proceeded from thence in procession—His Lord-
ship m his state carriage, preceded by the City Mar-
shaLthei Marshal's men, his footmen, and the pages
of las household, to GUildhall, to breakfast. This
meal, which consisted of solid old English fare,
oantely, roast beef, was set out in the Council Cham-
ber; but, before the Lord Mayor partook of it, he
went to the Justice.room, in the hall-keeper's office.'
and entered into Ithe investigation of a number Of
charges preferred' agaipst prisoners in .custody :
some of these his Lordship.discharged, and others
he remanded. His Lordship then joined the pain
in the Council Chamber, where a crowd of Ladies
-lad assembled to witness the ceremonies. The only
Alderman present, a circomstance unprecedented,,'
was Alderman Birch.
This City Festival was rendered more brillistroplen-
,aid, and interesting on Saturday, than on any former
occasion, by :ovoid extraordinary circumstances; one
of which was, that the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayor
'elect were one and the same person. Another variation
between the Show of Saturday and that of ail for-
mer years within our recollection was, that the pro.
cession, after going to Westminster by water, instead
of returning as usual, the same way, forsoole their
splendid aquatic conveyances, and, taking to their)
carriages in Palace-yard, returned to Guildhall alont
Pailiament-street, Whitehall, the Strand, Fleet
street, &c. Another, and a not less extraordinary
variation between the Lord Mayor's Day of this year
and that of 'former days was, that the mooting was
one of the finest ever experienced at this season of
the year. The Show on the water was never seen to
greater advantage. The River was covered . with a
vast number of boats, filled with Ladies, and in se-
veral were bands of music, and most of them were
decorated with flags and 'streamers. These, inter-
mingled with the magnificent City barges, many of
which bad.been newly painted and gilded, rendered
the whole scene truly magnificent. The procession
to the water side was nothing different from that of
former years. It arrived at Westminster Hall at
two o'clock, and his Lordship immediately pro-
ceeded to the Court of Exchequer. where he was
presented to the Chief Baron by the Recorder. He
was supported by Mr. Alderman Birch and Mr. Al-
derman J. J. Smith. The Lord Mayor having ad-
vanced to the bar, the Recorder introduced him in

these terms :
"My Lords—l have the honour of presenting at
your Lordshipe bar, Matthew Wood, Esq. Alder-
man and Fishmonger, who has been elected by a
great majority of the Livery of London ; and. by the
sanction of the Court of Aldermen, has been again
appointed to fill, during the year ensuing, the high
and dignified situation of Chief Magistrate for the
first Metropolis of the British Empire. The Citizens
of London. by choosing this Gentleman, in the fair
and lull exercise of their chartered rights, to preside
over the Magistracy. and to fill the high office, and
discharge the duties of Mayoralty fur two successive
ye4s, have bestowed upon him a distinction which
has not been conferred upon any other Chief Magis-
trate for a period of more than four centuries. My
Lords, you cannot but be aware that the importait
duties of this great public trust must demand from
the person invested with it an entire devotion of his
time and talents; and that to uphold the due splen-
dour of his high office and dignity. and the conse-
quence of this great city over which be presides, a
'large expenditure of his private fortune must be re-
quired. Under these considerations, the laws of the
City of London have declared that no man wfio is,
honoured by a second election shall be compellable,
again to serve the office of Lord Mayor. My Lords,
in gratelul return however, fur the gratifying testi.,
mony he has received of the affection of his tellow.
citizens, and with an ardent desire to render himself
still more useful. this respectable Magistrate has
waved the exemption which would have applied to
him, and has submitted himself to the anxious re-
sponsibility of this high office, and again undertakes
•to fulfil the duties attached to it, attended by the
Cordial wishes of the citizens of London, that 'be
may execute his trust during his second Mayoralty,
as he has done in his first, in all its important bear-
ings. for the welfare of the whole empire, and the
particular interests of the City of London; and by
so doing entitle himself to a still more extensive claim
on the gratitude and approbation of his fellow-citi-
zens. He also attends to render an account of the
Issues of his high office ; and here an ample and gra-
tifying scene would present itself, in speaking of his
conduct during his past Mayoralty, but his election
for the succeeding year speaks more folly and effec-
tually than I can express, how amply and signally he
has merited the approbation of his fellow-citizens."
LORD CHIMP BARON.—" My Lord Mayor—The
circumstances under which we now receive your Lord.
ship at this bar call for more than ordinary congratu-
' lation to the Chief Magistrite of the City of London
on his elevation to that situation; for in your Lord-
' ship's re election we have the strongest testimony of
the very high sense your fellow.citisens entertain of
your meritorious services already rendered in the dis.
charge of the important trust, the usual period of
which has expired; and it being understood no traces
can be found during the long period the Recorder ,
has stated, of any other Chief Magistrate receiving
the honour two successive years, which has attended
your Lirehhip, that circumstance alone would bear
temienony to the unabited zeal and attention with,
which your fellow:citisens consider you to have des-,
charged ever put of your laborious and putlic do
ties. Ytear amnions have indeed been eminently
conipicuous to the public at large, and they cannot
irs beheld without the highest gratification to the
feelings of siert ate whe can ripely **white such

fell whilst his LArdship and his attendants were in
the Court of Exchecpset, but the weather fortunately
cleared up again previous to their leaving the Hall..
A patty of the Hutse-Guards, dressed in half-armour,
joined the procession as part of the spectacle, and ac-
companied it to Guildhall.
The processsion arrived at Guildhall soon after
four o'clock. Long before this time a number of
Ladies had arrived at the Hall, and most of the seats
nit set aside for particular guests were occupied.—
'rlie Halt was brilliantly illuminated with gas, and
decorated, as usual, with transparencies, banners, &c.
At six o'clock dinner was served up, and consisted
of every delicacy both in and out of season.
• Amongst the company present were—Lords Ewer,
Erskine, Itlontioed, Ossulston and Torrington; La.
dies Montfort and Shaw; the Master of the Rolls,
Mr. Baron Richards, Mr. Justices Parke, Abbot, and
Holroyd, the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, Sir
S. Romilly, Sir William Scott, Sir Robert Wilson,
the American Minister, the Hen. Grey Bennet, Ste.
Mr. Curran, Mr. Kean, and Major Cartwright were
also guests. The Prince of Saxe-Cobourg and the
Duke of Sussex bad, it is said, pledged themselves
to be present. but were forced to break their promise
on account of the death of the King of Wurtemberg.
After the cloth was removed, Nets Mit was sung
by Messrs. Pyne, Gibbon. and the other professional
Gentlemen present ; and the following toasts and
songs were given and sung in rapid succession :
The King, b solemn silence.
The Prince Regent. with three dines three.
Song—" 'rho Prince and Old England for Ever."
The Queen and Royal Family.
Song— When Order in this Land oeconseneed."
The Mb of York and the Army.
The Duke of Clarence and the Navy.
The Princess Charlotte mid Prince Coboaty,
Lord Essex and the House of Peers.
Lord Esses then gave the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress. This toast was drank with three times
three and loud applause. •
The Loan MAYoR then rose to return thanks, and
observed, that he could not let this opportunity pass
without expressing the gratitude he telt for the ho.
nour *Well the company present had done him, by
attending his invitation on this occasion : still more,
however, did he feel the obligation which had been
so recently conferred upon him by that spontaneous
expression of feeling which had again placed him in
the high and honourable situation from which he
now addressed them. He had always felt most
anxious to live in the esteem of his fellow-citizens;
but 1:e should now desire to do so mote anxiously
than he had ever done, lest those who had re•elected
him should hereafter have to reflect on that circum-
stance • as one of regret, and should feel that their
confidence had been misplaced. He had endeavour-
ed to dischargt his duty to the best of his abilities,
but his exertions should now, if possible, be redoubled,
to prove to his fellow-citizens that he was not uncle•
serving of the high distinction they had bestowed him.
His opinions as to politics continued still unchanged.
but throughout the whole of last year he had endea-
voured so to conduct himself as-t 0 steer clear of all
party; he should still persevere in the same course,
and Would Rot turn aside to the light Or to the left
for any man. He was not conscious of having done
any thing to offend his Majesty's Ministers ; but ter-
tain it was, that he bad unconsciously offended them,
else why had they studiously refused to attend and do
honour to his invitation, both on the present and on
•the former-occasion He regretted the circumstance
until he looked round and observed the company who
had this day honoured him with their presence; he
then felt convinced that his fault had not been neglect
its the performance of his duty ; and he could only
sow repeat, that be would continue to discharge that
duty conscientiously, and in the manner which should
appear to him best calculated to promote the interests
of his fellow.citiaens, even at the risk of his life.—
The Haw Grey Emmett and the Home of Commons, with
three times tore..—refolysse.)
The American Ambassador, with three times three. •
The AMERICAN AMBASSADOR returned his Lord-
ship thanks for the honour conferred on him, an ho-
nour which he had frequently experienced, and in
returnieg thanks now he could only repeat what he
had said on former occasions. Gratitude, however,'
was fond of repetition. The Citizens of London had
recently proved the truth of this assertion ; they had
shewn theirs to his Lordship by repeating this year
the honour which they conferred upon him last. He
begged to thank the company for the honour they
had done him, and to give in return—
Prosperity to the City of Lendea-(leed afrplawir.)
The Loan Maswou then gave the tuitowittg toasts:
The fudges.—Tbe AttornerGeneral—The Members for the

Cie/ of laidon. •
His Lordship, in giving this last toast, Observed,
spot he wished now to repeat what he had said on
many other Occasions, namely, that in his opinion the
City at present could boast of having for, its tepre-
sentatives
_am Away* attentive to their• 'duties as
