The Lola) MAYOR disclaimed the praise bestowed on him as undeserved. He said the long-standing invitation on which he had come was one which the Lady Mayoress and himself received most readily from the first. Prom the moment they set foot in Bath they had met with such a reception as was usually accorded only to royalty. He received it simply as a citinm of a kindred corporation. He believed the nation owed its privileges and the peace it enjoyed to its municipal institutions, by means of which revolutions had been peacefully conducted here, which would have resulted in bloodshed on the Continent. If his visit to Bath, Bristol, and Heading resulted in increased strength to the municipalities of the kingdom, the pleasure he felt would be largely increased His lordship was enthusiastically sheered during his speech. . Alderman KNIoRT, in responding for the sheriffs, mid the kindness shown them was such as they would never forget He praised the city as being controlled by an enlightened municipality, and said he hoped future sheriffs might experience a renewal of the honour paid to himself and Mr. Brsffit. The healths of the Mayor of Bristol, the Lady Mayoress, and others, concluded the proceedings. The Lord Mayor on Sunday attended the Abbey Church In state.
