CHRONICLE, 
¥ine worship. To this cathedral also 
repaired the hon. artillery company, 
- commanded by alderman Le Mesu- 
rier, and consisting of upwards of 
1000 ; the two troops of loyal Lon- 
don cavalry, commanded by col. An- 
derton, and Mr. alderman Rowcroft, 
their major ;- and the third regiment 
of loyal London volunteers, com- 
manded by John Pooly Kensington, 
esq. eccompanied by the rev. Henry 
Budd, chaplain to the corps, who 
mustered at their head quarters in 
Bridewell-yard. At ten they march- 
ed for St. Paul’s, accompanied by 
their band, in a most superb uni- 
form ; the band under the direction 
of Mr. Hyde, playing the duke of 
York’s march. The streets were so 
extremely crowded, that it was with 
the greatest difficulty, and the most 
vigorous exertions of the pioneers, 
that the band could reach the cathe- 
dral ; and when they had gained at- 
mittance, the choir was not large 
enough to contain them; numbers 
went into the organ-loft, and the 
others were obliged to remain in the 
aisles during the whole time of di- 
vine service. All the streets leading 
to St. Paul’s were crowded at the 
early hour of eight o’clock, and re- 
mained so the whole morning.— 
About eleven, the lord mayor arrived 
in his state carriage, accompanied by 
aldermen Skinner and Boydell, the 
sheriffs, and the city-oflicers. The 
crowd was so great in the cathedral, 
that it was difficult to make a passage 
for their entrance into the choir.— 
The whole of the morning service, 
both at the desk and the altar, was 
most impressively and distinctly deli- 
vered by the rev. John Pridden, one 
of the minor canons ; and the sermon 
was preached by his lordship’s chap- 
Jain, the rev. John Hutchins. After 
the sermon, the third regiment was 
443 
assembled, by companies, under the 
dome, and the oath of allegiance ad- 
ministered to the officers, and after- 
wards to the privates, six at a time. 
This regiment then returned to their 
head-quarters, in the same order 
they came, and were dismissed.— 
Upon their return from St. Paul’s, 
the London cavalry drew up in front 
of the Mansion-house, where the 
lord mayor, uncovered, in company 
with the lady mayoress, returned 
their salute. They were then dis« 
missed, after their horn had sounded, 
a God save the King,” and dhicir 
officers partook of a refreshment at 
the Mansion-house. The other nine 
regiments attended divine service in 
their respective wards. The first 
regiment of loyal London volunteers, 
commanded by col. Birch, marched 
to St. Michael’s church, Cornhill. 
‘he second regiment, commanded by 
licut. col. John Smith, assembled at 
its head-quarters, Guildhall, at 10 
o’clock, deposited their arms, and 
proceeded to St.Stephen’s Walbrook, 
The 4th regiment went to St. Sepul- 
chre’s. The Sth and 9th regiments, 
not : finding accommodation for them- 
selves in large bodies, filed off into 
companies, and, for the most part, 
repaired to the Ghavehes of their re- 
spective parishes. A part of the first 
regiment of the East-India company 
volunteers attended at St. Mary Axe. 
At St. Creed’s was another part o 
that regiment, and the Aldgate, or 
seventh regiment of city volunteers, 
headed by alderman Combe, their 
colonel. At Aldgate church, the 
remainder of the first regiment of 
Fast-India volunteers, commanded 
by adjutant Dickison, and tle Port- 
soken volunteers, headed, in the ab- 
sence of col. Shaw, who accompa- 
nied the lord mayor, as one of the 
sheriffs, by major Pratt. The second 
regiment
