DYAD ildrOß'S-Diir.

Irefterday being Lord-Mayor's day, a eonfiderable
portion of curiofity was excited, and all the young
and unemployed anticipated tae enjoyment of a brit-
pant fpeaacle. Clouds and rain, however, ufhered
in the morning, and continucd their difmal and dreary
reign until an advanced period of the day. The
bofom of Father Thames was not, as ufual upon
fuch occafions, covered with beauty; and, if we
except the bridges, the vicinity of the River boafted
but a thin attendance of (pea:ants.
At half pall twelve o'clock, the old and new LORD
Maims, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and City Officers, af-
fembled at Guildhall, from whence they went in
proceffion in their (tate coaches to Blackfriat's-
Bridge, where the city-barge was in waiting. The
LORD MAYOR and Aldermen alighted, and went on
board the barge, which commenced its voyage for
Weilmintler Hall, attended by feveral of the Livery
Companies in their barges, including the goldfmiths,
drapers, filmongers, aationers, ecc.
• It was near two o'clock before the proceainn
reached the Exchequer Chamber, where his Lord-
flip was (worn into office before the Barons, accord-
lac:annual cuaom.
RICORDIR having made the accullonted invi-
tation.to dine at Guildhall, the Loco MAYOR pro-
ceeded to the other courts; where, having made the
ufual returns, and depolited the ufual writs, he with-
drew. . ,

and proceeded to the City in the following order:

egated lamps. To it was attached a car containing
two figures. one reprefentiog a Volunteer with the

prcfided, was ornamented with the royal initials
G. R. and a moil brilliant Crown of variegated
lamps.. The oppofite end difplayed the PaiNce's
plonie, of fimilar materials; and the fides of the
room were alto elegantly decorated with feftoons of
the Cams defeription.
The Dinner provided on the occafion, confined of
every delicacy of the feafoa. The tables were un-
der the direftion of Mefrs. Birch and Angel. The
decorations of the tables were very magnificent.—
The benches were covered with erimfon baize.
