:%57'ER MO VDAI:

Yesterday, according to ancient custam, the Lnitn
Melton, accompanied by the Sheriffs, Recorder, and
several Aldermen and City Officers, went in their
state carriages from the Mansion-house ►^ Christ
Church, Neweate-street, in grand pi:sm.:on, pre-
ceded by about St/0 children o: Christ Hospital. The
day being fine the children Made a fine shew, all dres-
sed in their new clothes, and moved from the Royal
Exchange round St. Paw's, and up the o.d Bailey
to Christ Church, where a sermon was preached by
the Bishop of LONDON, before the Governors and
Benefactors of that foundation.

The Bishop took his text from the Hebrews,
chap. xiii. err. 16 In the course of his Sermon, lie
observed—'' That beneficence was the foundation of
religion; a true Christian loved his neighbour as
himself, and he took a delight in doing glint unto
all men, as far as Goo had blesssd hint with the
means ; and to do unto all as he wished they should
do unto hint. St. Paul says, ' But to do good, and
to communicate, forget not ; for with such sacrifices
Gorr is well pleased.' He then addressed !Umbel; to
the youths on the Royal foundation, by informing
,them, that the early knowledge of, and a per.evering
attention to the gicat truths ul the Gospel of CultisT,
will teach them content rn every station in which they
may in future be placed; will enable them to sail
through lift: with as much ease and serenity as t" e
unavoidable difficulties of this transitory state will
admit s will give to their minds the I,urest pkasures
and most satisfactory enjoyment; will make theni a
comfort to themselves, an honour to the Governors of
the Charity, a blessing to their friends, and an orna-
ment to society." To you, said he, who are truly bene-
ficent, the sense of GOD'S favour and love will diffuse
an unspeakable serenity over your souls. The con-
sciousness
that you are acting that part for which the
ALL-Woe formed and designed you, that you are
travelling short-lived pilgrims through a wilderness
of trial; to a happy Canaan of consummate rest. This
will till your souls with constant thanksgiving and
cheerfulness, and enable you, with a right lowly and
grateful heart, to pass the time of your sojourning
here below ; your philanthropic and becoming con-
duct. will, in a great measure, endear you to your fel-
low creatures, or at Least to such as you would most
wish to be dear to, the virtuous and the good, and
every circumstance in life will then be rendered easy."
Atter the Sermon, the usual Report was read, of
the number of poor children and iodigent persons.,
maintained is the hospitals under the care ot the
Right Hon. the Loito Mae" Cons nonalty, and
Citizens of London, the year last past.
About four o'clock the precession returned to the
Mansion housc, where an elegant dinner was pro-
vided in the wand Egyptian Hall. The hall was
beautifully illuminated with gas, shining from the
bright glass chandeliers, with an imperial crown over
the canopy at the top ot the hall, and the feathers at
the bottom, under which stood the grand baron of
beet, the emblem of old English hospitality, weigh-
ing above 180 pounds weight. The tables were beau-
titully set out, tour in number, with a cross table at
the top, at %%inch sat the Loan and LADY MAYORESS,
with other principal Noblemen and Ladies ot dis-
tinction. The top table was beautifully ornamented
'with is large temple inn the middle, with different de-
vices—the two middle tables had sir temples, with
other ornaments and festoons—the other two were
adorned with beautiful arches, with • parterre in
feint devices. Round the hall were the busts of his
present MAJESTY and the PatseeTtgoser, with those
of eminent and deceased Statesmen, amongst which
we distinguished Fox and PITT, side by side.
Amongst the company present were :

The cloth being retquved,
Nan whir Dornime was sung in a beautiful manner by
Messrs. TAndost, BELLAMY. &C. and was followed
by some enchanting ant from Mrs. BILLINGTON. The
following toasts were drank with three times three :
" The Rift, Geo Ideashito."
" The Prince Regan."
" TM Queen, and tke other female branches of the Royal
family." •
" The Princess Charlotte and the Prince of SmaCeburg."
" The Duke of Yak and the Army."
" Britain's best bulwark, her wooden walls." •
The LORD MAYOR telt convinced that the toast he
should have the honour to propose would meet the
unanimous approbation of the company. The illus-
trious,
Duke was absent, but the City of London were
well acquainted with the success of his exertions in
the furtherance of its charitable institutions. It was
cot going beyond the truth to say, that without his
assistance and his noble example, such gratifying re-
sults could not be effectually accomplished. He beg-
ged to give—
" Ws Royal Highness the Doke of Kent, the Patron of Edu-
cators and Friend of the Poor."
Drank with great applause.
The LORD MAYOR said he was certain, whatever
comments might be indulged in other places. that the
health of andther illustrious branch of the House of
Brunsw.ck, then present, and who felt a pride in be...,
ins associated with the Citizens of London—(A:ft-
jrissier)-4-would be received with the highest gnash-
Winn ipid pride by. the company he had the honour
to address. In the discharge of every public duty,

The Lein MAYOR. with a sweat eulogium. next
proposed the hesith of
" Thi.ir Royal Highnesses the Doke and Duchess of Waxes-

The Doke of &max observed. that in proposing
the health of his Holm treble Friend, the Lord Mayor,
to a comp iny of his fellow-citizens, any attempt to
describe his distinguished claims to public erztitirde
were wholly unnecessiay. The City of buidon had
in the most emphatic manner niarkA their opiiiion
of click Chief Magistrate by I.is re election to r'te
Chair. On tire capitation or his former Mayoralty,
the venerable Cinel Justic: of the Court of Exchequer
bad described him truly as the father and friend of
the poor. Since the execution of his official duties,
on his re-appoint:mot, he had proved himself the re-
solute preserver of the public peace, and had illustra-
ted the truth of the old constitutional principle, that
in the suppression of such ii.egularities, the Porte Co-
miiriut was the efficient instrument—(Continued oft-
ft/aunt.) He should therelote content himself with
proposing the health
" The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor."
Drank with plaudits.
The Loam MAvent briefly returned his acknowledg-
ments. He had endeavoured impartially to discharge
his public trust. When he was honoured with the
voice of his fellow-citizens, he had determined not to
allow any political feeling to blend itself with his ma.
risterial duties. To that determination he adhered;
but he limited it would be no deviation to soy, that
those political 'principles Le had advocsted through-
out his life, he would ever cherish mail his death.
'rile following mists were then drank:
" The Duke of .Sonterset and the House of Peers."
" '1 he Duke of Argyle, anJ prosperity to Scotland."
" '1 he Ba.lasst Ewes, Grosvenor, and the other Noble Lew&
who have honoured the Lord Mayor with their company coos

" Lord Erskine and Trial by Jury."

The dinner was enlivened by the Duke of Kavr's

entertained the company with songs, duets, glees, &c.
THE 8AL1..•
At half-past nine o'clock all the avenues to the
Mansion-house were mremely crowded, and before
eleven o'clock there were at least lour thousand per-
sons admitted. In rue] a crowd, it was difficult for
those who wished to dance to gratify theft inclina-
tions. The upper part of the b.lll-toorn was set apart
for minuets and quadrilles, and was dividsd from the
lower part by a strong railing. The bars was opened
with a minuet, by Miss WOOD and the Duke tot.SUS-•
sea. Miss WytlD went through the minuet with much
grace, and looked to gte.tt advantage. The quadrilles
were then commenced, but the crowd in the lower
part of the room increased so rapidly, that the rail.
mg soon gave way, and :tido ugh t;. LouD Maxon,
in the best humoured and politest fflotlllef, requested
that space would be allowed to Use dancers, it was •
all to nu pur pose. The LAnY MATORK.III was in cot.
sequence of the pressure, obliged to leave the bal..
room. The Duke of busses was throug!sout the
whole evening in the highest spirits His Ito; ail
Highness mingled in the throng, and was remuka-
bly attentive, whenever Ladies were in danger of
being inconvenienced by the crowd. The Lotto
LSI Avon, the LADY MAYCItIiSs, and the Misses Woa n,„
conducted themselves with tne most assiduous Itospi-
tality towards their numerous guests. Al/out one
o'clock the crowd began to lessen, dancing was then
resumed in different rooms, and was kept up with
much spirit till a late hour this morning.
Among the Ladies' Dresses, the following were
particularly distinguished :
