SCROLEY, Esq. whom he then presented, had been chosen Lord Mayor by the City of . London for the year ensuing. He then passed some . high encomiums on the known virtues and abilities • of this worthy Alderman, who, he was convinced, 'would support the rights and immunities of the City of London in their original purity. He then presented Sir C. S. HUNTER, Bart. whose arduous task, he said, had just expired, and, in testimony of whoie claims to public thanks, it was only necessary to mention the fact of his having been raised to the iznity of a Baronet, as a proOf of the high estimation in which he was held by his Sovereign. Baron M'DoNALD addressed the new Lord Mayor in an energetic speech, in which he dwelt first upon the importance of the high and dignified office he had been chosen to fill, and next upon the wisdom and foresight it was necessary to display in the fulfilment of the duties of that office. There were times when, various causes existed which might create an irritability in ,the public mind. It was of the last importance, therefore, that no means should be neglected to guard against any infringement of the public peace, and to preserve that order and decorum which the well being of the State required. The worthy Baron then commented on the atrocious murder of Mr. Perceval, and instanced this as an Oct which, while k reflected no disgrace on the nation at large, proved the absolute necessity of a vigorous and watchful attention on the part of the Magistracy of the country. He concluded with paying some handsome compliments to the late Lord Mayor, whose conduct had so deservedly called forth the most honourable marks of Royal favour. The procession afterwards left the Court, and proceeded to the Courts of Chancery, King's Bench, and Common Pleas, where they were received with • the accustomed ceremonies ; after which they returned to their respective barges, and, having landed at Blackfriars-hridge,returned in the following order : The Under City Marshal, on Horseback.
