GLORIA MUNDI.
It really appears to us that there is a good deal of truth in the ,
allegation advanced by the Corporation of London as one of their six i
excuses for the failure of their police arrangements on the 7th ultimo,
that there was an “ enormous increase of the number of the populace,’"’
who squeezed themselves into the narrow streets of the City, owing to
the refusal of the Government to let the Lord Mayor and his retinue
ride at the head of the Royal procession beyond Temple Bar. It is
true that the crowd expected to see the Lord Mayor in all his glory,
an expectation in which they were sorely disappointed, but which no
doubt was an immense attraction to them. Recollect that the glory of
the Lord Mayor, in full blaze, is about as great as any glory which
consists chiefly in laced jackets, pictorial canvas, top-knots, shoulder- >
knots, prancing horses, and parti-coloured servants and super-
numeraries strutting, drumming, and trumpeting. The anticipation of 1
a Lord Mayor’s Show, limited to the City, no doubt contributed a
multitude of admirers of pageantry to cram the City. There is nothing !
absurd in the civic dignitaries’ estimate of the rush which the British '
public would probably make to stare at them, however ludicrous their
splendour may appear in the sight of some who cannot, and in that of ;
some others who can, appreciate the magnificence of a Beadle.
Ecclesiastical Intelligence.
One of the chief duties falling to the lot of the Bishop of Gibraltar j
is to confirm the News arriving by the Indian Mail.
Heraldic Bearings.—The income of Lord Darnley is mainly
derived from a property at the Needles.
