authorities OF the English metropolis, and the Lord
Chamberlain lord sydney. on the subject OF the
accommodation TO be provided In St. Paurs on the
occasion OF the Thanksgiving service, when IL was
urged that in consideration OF the great interest
taken by all classes OF the community in the matter,
and the desirabllity OF representation on the
occasion OF the various corporate and other
bodies throughout the kingdom, the number OF
spectators might be increased with advantage and

service. and upon the necessity first OF ALL OF grant
ing the just claims OF the many official and repre-
sentative personages HIS L0rdship, however,
