He had about two hours ago received a communication, enclosing two cards, the one for the Lord Mayor, and the other to be filled up with the name of the Lady Mayoress or any other lady. The latter was the ordinary ticket of an Alderman's lady ; and it struck him that, as the Lord Mayor was not only a member of the Privy Council, but had had the honour of being Chief Ma- gistrate of the city of London when her Majesty honoured the City with her presence, and had subsequently received a distinguished honour at the hands of her Majesty, an oversight was committed in not transmitting to him a ticket expressly inviting the Lady Mayoress. Ile was not exactly aware of the custom on such occasions, but he was resolved to remonstrate with the Earl Marshal on the subject.
