We understand that there is a general sentiment among the citizens of London in favour of the present Lord Mayor, who has performed the arduous duties of his high office with such honourable impartiality, at the same time that he has so liberally sustained the ancient hospitality of the City. A requisition is about to be presented to his Lordship, call- ing upon him to fill the civic chair a second year.—/Ifeeniey Chronicle. [If the Lord Mayor gives good turtle and plenty of it, he is sure to be popular in the Common Council and with the leading City politicians.] A party of Liberal electors of Lambeth gave Mr. R. G. Welford, the late Radical candidate for the borough, a public dinner, at the Hero of Waterloo, on Monday. Colonel Thompson and Mr. J. W. Fox were present as visiters, and made capital speeches.

The Foundling Hospital, and the Children's Friend Society, No. 9, Tbrogmorton Street, are the only institutions that rescue and main- tain children without regard to their being legitimate.

In the extensive and populous district of St. Pancras, not a single Dissenting chapel has yet taken out a licence to perform the marriage ceremony.

A beautiful broad foot pavement is laid down on the south side fronting the new National Gallery. The whole of the stone-work for the handsome iron railing is ready ; and the intended square, the inte- rior of which will be made elegant, by shrubberies being planted in it, beautiful gravel-walks laid out, and fountains, will be immediately enclosed. Both the coach and cab stands are to he removed to some more appropriate place. —Standard. jA correspondent of the Chronicle warns the public that it is in contemplation to make this square a walk only for the pi ivileged few ; and recommends attention to frustrate the job. We can scarcely believe that it is intended to exclude the public; but the best way of preventing such a project is certainly to make a noise about it.]
