271 Z NEW LORD MAYOR.

Yesterday, according to the ancient custom, the,
present Lord Mayor, John Thomas Thorp, Esq. eic,-,
companied by the late Lord Mayor, George Bridgel,:
Esq. proceeded in the State barge, by water, to tit
Court of Exchequer at Westminster, for the purpose.
of performing the usual ceremonies. The two She;
Tiffs elect, Mr. Robert Waithman and, Mr. Wil-
liams, also attended upon their Lordships, and they
were followed by Mr. Alderman Rothwell, .Mr. AT-.
derman Heygate, and a great number of the Coin-
mon Council, in their robes of State. The proCessiom.
took water at Blackfriars-bridge, and proceeded im-±
mediately to Palace-yard, and from thence to the Court
of Exchequer. Their Lordships reached the Court soolf
after one o'clock, and Mr. Baron Richards, Mr. Ba-1
ran Graham, Mr. Baron Wood, and Mr. Baron G ar.:
row, were dressed in their scarlet robes, prepared for
the reception of their Lordships and their suite. Hav-
ing bowed to the Judges with the usual solemnity,
the Lord Mayor elect advanced in front of the bench,i
attended by the Recorder, and the late Lord Mayor
on his left hand. The accustomed ceremonies were
then gone through, before a crowded Court. 'The,
chief civic Magistrate .of last year rendered up Msl
accounts, and the present Lord Mayor received thei
City book'''. These ancient forms occupied the spact
nearly of an hour. At the conchtsiori, their Lord-
ships on each side of the Recorder bowed to the
Bench, retreating backwards, from one end of the
Court to the other.. They then visited the other
Courts, and, with similar solemnities, invited the
Judges to tae civic 'entertainment at Guildhall.—
Their Lordships then took -tater at the stairs at 0;c1
l'alace-yard, and were followed by the Sheriffs, Al-
dermen, and Common Council. *A great crowd was
assembled to witness the procession, and the Lord
Mayor elect was greeted loudty by the popula:e.—.4
The reception of Mr. Alderman Bridges was differ-
ent, and it was not until he had got on board the
bilge that the hootings ceased. Mr. AldermanWeiod
was welcomed with the loudest applause. Several
Ladies were very araentin their acclamations. The
bnrge in which his Lordship embarked was rowed
tack to .131,ackfriars-bridge; but, as the tide was
againstm
it, uth mote time was occupied than was
expected. The barges of the various other Companies
of the City of London also attended upon the State
City barge, and cheered his Lordship as he passed
by. -1-laving lauded at Blackfriars in safety, they
proceeded immediately to Guildhall.

THE DINNER. _ _ _

At ten minutes after four the Lord Mayor entered

was followed by the.late Lord Mayor, who also re-
ceived a pretty gediral tribute of approbation from
the company, who by that time were assembled in
considerable numbett.
The upper part of the Hall was, as usual, formed
into a separate apartment, called 'the hustings, ap-
propriated to the siccomtnodation of the distinguished
guests, as well as of the personal friends of the Lord
Mayor. None were admitted to that part of the
Hall who had not particular cards of invitation : and
those who were honoured by these peculiar marks of
attention, were ushered, on their arrival, into the
drawing-room, where they were received by Mrs.
Alfred Thorpe, sister'in-law to the Lord Mayor, who
sustained with much grace and elegance the charac-
ter of .Lady Mayoress on this occasion. She sat on
the eiezated chair or throne which is placed at the
extremity of the room, and as the several distinguished
visitors entered they were announced by some of the
Committee of Management, and introduced by the
Sheriffs to her Ladyship. She was attired in a splen-
did dress of silver lama, over white satin, ornamented
with handsome blond. A Court train of the same'
oust] y materials. Head-dress,
.A beautiful plume of
ostrich feathers, and a profusion of diamonds, the
tout ensemble had a brilliant effect, and was mast be-
coming to the young and lovely wearer.
Among the earliest visitors were the Misses Plo-
mer, •sters of the Lady Mayoress, who wore superb
embroidered tulle dresses, trimmed with French
blond, over white satin : head-dresses, superb plumes
of ostrich feathers, with pearl bandeaus.
At five o'clock two trumpeters were. stationed at
the entrance door, who blew $‘ a bleat land and shrill"
upon the arrival of each of the noble and distin-
guished guests who entered the Hall.
The company continued to assemble till siz o'clock,
when the Lord Mayor, attended by the usual retinue,
returned to the Hall, and an immense assemblage sat

do* to one of the most SUMFUOnS and elegant tan.
quets that was ever given on a similar occasion.--
Every part of the.entertainxnent, notwithstanding th
extensive kale on which it was necessarily prepared,
was arranged with the greatest taste ; the dishes 'were
many of them of the most Wady description, and the
wines were of the rarest triads, and of the most deli.

cious flavour.
The Lord Mayor was supported on the right by
the late Lord Mayor and the Marquis of Lansdovin,
and on the left by Lord Erskine and tlut Earl of

Carnarvon.

After dinner, Non nob4s Dontioe, was sung by the
professional Gentlemen who were engaged to contri4
bute, by their musical talents, to the hilarity of the

evening.
The first toast was " The Ring."—(Apgause.)—
Tune by the band, God save the Klng._
The next toast was " The Queen."—As soon as
this toast was announced, a spark of enthusiasm
seemed to have been at once enkindled ; every hand,
male and female, was raised to waive a white hand-
kerchief, and not satisfied with the usual rounds of
applause, they doubled and trebled them, until the
whole company had exhausted all their energy. For'
nearly ten minutes the Hall was a scene of continued
acclamation. •
- The following toasts were then given in succession :
The Royal Family."
" The Navy and the Army."
" The Judges of the Land."
" The Marquis of Lansdown."
" Earl (rey."
" -Earl Thanet."

" Lord Durcannon."
" The Right lion. G. Tierney."
" The Hon. Grey Bennett, the Wow] of humanity and bene-
volence."
" Messrs. Brougham and Denman, sal Dr. Lushington, and
the independence of the English Bar." •
The Noblemen and Gentlemen included in the
preceding toasts severally teturited thanks.
The Marquis of LA NsDuww proposed " The health
of the present Lord Mayor of London," and congra-
tulated the City on having a man of such tried and
independent principled for its Chief Magistrate. The
toast was received ninth loud acclainations, and drank
with three times three.
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He expressed,
the gratitude which he felt towards his fellow-citizens,
who elected him to this -high honour out of his
iturn-Applause).—He would,• in the first place,
make it his chief object to preserve the peace of the
City, and he trtisted he should be always found so
attentive to the liberties and rights of his
fellow-
citizens, that at the end of his Mayoralty he would
have the same measure of their good opinion which
he now had the happiness t enjoy.
" The late Lcrd Meyer," was the next.toast.
Lord Efts !NE, in proposing " the health of the
Sheriffs of London," could not help congratulating
his fellow-citizens on the choice of their present Shoe-

Mr.

Mr.

tiffs. lt was of the utmost importance ro the cause
of freedom that men of their hardy independence and
political honesty should be in office in the present
times, When there was constantly carried on a system
of unremitted persecution against every person who
avowed himself an advocate f(4 liberal principles—.
(Great applause). It was necessary, however, that
their fellow citizens should five such men their
strongest suceort, for otherwise their single exertions
could not be expected to prove effectual.
Messrs. NV AITiLMAN and slitta.taus then returned
thanks.
" The 'Menthol's for Middlesex."
" The Members for Southwark."
" Lord lionnanby, and the other Gentlemen who have ho-
noured the Lord Mayor with their company on this oceadolie"
" The Owe of Liberty all over the world."
At nitre o'clock, the Ladies, who formed almost
half the number of the guesti, retired to the tea-
room, snaking in their way thither the circuit of the
hustings,
,where the Gentlemen who accompanied
them, directed their attention to each of the distin-
guished characters who occupied seats at the Lord
Mayor's table. The Ladies were for the most part
dressed in splendid plumes. of ostrich feathers, and
exhibited favourable specimens of English beauty
as Nvell as English opulence. Diamonds and bright
eyes rivalled each other in every quarter of the HalL
After tea, dancing commenced in the Council
Room, but after a few sets of quadrilles, the room
was so crowded as to become totally inaccessible to
any additional numbers.
At ten o'clock the Lord Mayor left the Chair.,—
The hustings were immediately cleared of the tables
and benches, and sets far country dances were formed,
who kept up the merriment of the festival to a late
hour. The Hall was lighted up as usual. The gas
lights over the seat of the Lord Mayor were lot med
into the shape of a Crown, and this was opposed by
a brilliant star at the other extremity of the Hall •r-
The sides of the Hall were illuminated by festeons of
lighted gas, and in the.centre and at either extremity
of the ceiling hung magnificent lustres, which shed
a blaze of light over the whole interior.
Upon the whole, the festival was conducted-with
the greatest regularity. There were at least fifteen
hundred guests preeent, and they were all attended
with the utmost expealtion. Pleasure ruled the night,.
and it was late before the merry sounds of the harp
and violin ceased to resound-through this Temple of
Chartered Freedom.
As the barges were proceeding to Westminster, an
accident occurred which had nearly proved fatal jo'
several individuals. As that of the Drapers' Com-
pany was going ender Waterloo Bridge, two of a
mob of boats following the prodession, by an en-
deavour to get before the rest, got in the way of the
barge, and were overturned in an instant, when
eight persons& consisting of four females, three men,
and a boy, were Waccd in a most perilous situation ;
nearly all the parry, however, clung firmly to the
boats, and several others rowing up to their assist-
ance, they were ;A taken out of the water without
any having received material injury.

by a bitch of Colonel Elmhirst's; and the second, a Cup value
12 guineas, by a bitch of Mr. Huggins's, from Nottinghamshire.
