AQUATIC lid URSION:

Yesterait being appointed by the Loan MAvoit
for holding a Court bf Conservancy at Richmond,
every preparation was made to promote the pleasure
which this civic expedition generally affords.
The City barge, with the Goldsmiths barge, and
a number of boats with awnings, and gay company,
formed the jk•iiila. The LORD MAtort and Corpo-
ration received at Westminster Bridge several distin-
guished persons, with a large party of Ladies, vle-
gantly attired. They took their seats on the upper plat-
form of the barge, and added much to the splendour
of the scene. The beauty of the vessel, adorned with
rich Bags, and fashionable company, reminded the
spectator of the description of CLEOPATRA'S galley,
as given by ENOBARSOS :
Ths barge she sat on, like a burnish'd throne.
" Burn'd on the water ; the poop was beaten gold !"
An excellent band of music was -provided, and
every comfort appeared to wait on the company. At
Lambeth Palace they lay upon their oars for the pur-
pose of removing a few of the LORD MAYOR'S friends
from the'Goldsmiths barge to the City barge. After
the removal the rowers belonging to the Goldsmiths'
Company gave the LORD MAYOR three cheers, which
was returned with spirit and effect. At twelve
o'clock they proceeded on their voyage, there being
at least twenty boats in the squadron.

Sous leur poids, Thames opprima
" Gemit, sans montrer de eourroux !"
The Prince of SAXE COBURG, Earl GROSVENOR
and several other persons of distinction were among
the company.
