Yesterday the Right Hos. the LORD MAYOR gave a .ery splendid entertainment at the Maasion•honse. It ;was, perhaps, attended by more of the Nobility than , rver appeared at en Easter dinner in the city. The Lord Mayor had very properly determined to dispense with what is called the Easter Ball; the very ides of which would'have frightened the list of respectable visitors. There were abort four hundred guests, amongst whom se observed— The' Bishops of Winchester, London, and Llandalf, Lard and Lady Rolle, Lord and Lady Midweek, Lord and Lady Granville Somerset, Laid and Lady Eliot, Sir Edward Codringten. the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Right Hon. Vevey Fits =Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, Colonel and Lady Lowther Lord Moenteharles, Sir Byam Martin, Ladles Mesilese and Sandwich, Sir Jahn Doyle, Sir Charles Doyle, cot. .gyp Doyle, the GOVeffief mid Deputy Governor of the Bank of Saglarad, Mr. &demi Arabia, Mr.Caleraft, the Common Serjeant, several of the Aldermen, Ste. The company sat down at a little before seven o'clock to a dinner .4 the very first rate kind. Every delicacy `of the season was most abundantly supplied. The - LORD MAYOR, a'ter having given the toasts of " the King," " the Duke of Clarence, and the rest of the Royal Family,"" the Army and Navy," and " Pm 'perky to the City of London," said that he had received T opologies from the Duke of Wellington and those of his Grace's colleagues 'who were absent. He (the Lord Mayor) felt peculiar gratification at seeing amongst hit pests the President of the Board of Trade. He was convinced, judging from the enlightened and liberal conduct of his'llfiesty's Ministers, and the effect which that conduct had produced upon the public mind, that the toast he was about to propose would be received with the most hearty welcome, and the most unaffected satisfaction. He then proposed— . *, The health of the Doke of Wellington and Ids Majesty's MI. nbters."—The toast was 'drank with the greatest applause. The lt.ght .Hon. VE•RY FITIIOgRALD rose to return thanks. He felt most highly bonneted by being called upon to retain thanks to the very distinituished company around him, upon the part of his Majesty's Ministers. rHe regretted the absence of his colleagues, the more particularly as there was not one of them who was not Wier calCulated than he was to express the feelings which must arise naturally upon the announcement of such a toast. He wasauthorised by the illustrious man who presided over the Krug's Council and the rest of his'colleagues, to declare their high sense of the distin. guisbed notice which was taken of their public conduct. Speaking of himself, as standing In the situation which he had been called upon to fill by his Majesty, he had to declare that be could valoe no distinction more highly than the approbation of the citizens et London—than the testimonies borne by the great commercial interests of this greit city—(Loud cheers). The LORD MAYOR said, that he was proud to have the opportunity to propose the health of a Noble Friend of his, whim he long had had the honour of knowing. His Noble Friend had held a high situation in theGover n. meet, and was the representative of a county (Mon. mouth) with which he (the• Lord Mayor) was, closely connected. He highly appreciated the worth of the Noble Person to whom he alluded. Hi. Lordship then gave the health of " Lord Granville Somerset'', Lord G. SOMERSZT expressed his inability to return adequate thank 4 He was proud to have it in his power to boast of his friendship, and he felt singularly grad. fied by the notice of the company—(Cheers). The SPIACIR said, that he had lire honour of being permitted by-the Lord Mayor to propene the health a the Lady Majocess...(Loud applause). • The LORD MATOR said that be was desired by' tie jaady Mayoress to_ mention'hir grateful acknevilzdg.

A pplause).' - - The Ladies then retired. %After Whitt - - ` 4 • The LORD MAYOR rose and said. that he bad the honour to have upon his right band a Reverend Prelate who had many claims upon the City or London, from his seal and industry in exalting the moral character of those over whom he bad presidedlor many years as a Pastor. It would be a source of gratification to every. one who had the honour of hit acquaintance, and a knowledge of his Christian benevolence, that his health sbOuld be publicly, and as he knew it must be. en thusiastically drunk—he meant the Bishop of Loo don—(Cheer). ' The &slop of LONDON returned thanks. The situa tion which he now field gave him additional opportuni ties of which be would avail himself to uphold the reli gious and moral character of hid countrymen. Having witnessed the impartiality of his Right Hon. Friend for the last eight years in the discharge of his 'magisterial duties, he felt pleasure in be 4 ring testimony to his worth as a most upright and intelligent magistrate, and an honour to the station which he filled. He then pro posed "the health of the Lord Mayos"—(Cheers). The LOAD Mavon returned thanks for the honour done The Reverend Prelate bad overrated his services. but 'no mon could emirate his anxiety to discharge. his duty conscientiously.; and for the . remaining few months of his mayoralty he would endeavour to merit the approbation of his fellow chi. tens. He then proposed tbe healths of al the Bishops of Winchester and Llandaff." The LORD MARDI next proposed the health of 44 the President of the Board of Trade." Bloc* he had been appoihted she high situatiod of President to the ham d of Trade be bad given universal satisfaction, and afforded the greatestfactlities by immediate communi cations with the merchants of the country. He con gratulated the commercial interests upon having oGen tleman at their head who was so admirably calculated to. superintend and advance , their interests—(Cheers).. Mr. Vans Frnmaassa • said that he felt **Ply honoured by the toast. Language was easitr ei t heitsjed, but the feeling by 'which be was ticked could intVer suffer change or diminution. He felt unable to return asks for.on honour so unexpected. He did not think that- any person filling the high station he held could discharge its duties to the satisfaction of all parties— (Cheers). He pledged himself to devote his tines and knowledge with the greatest assiduity to the discharge of those duties. and should depend upon the well-known impartiality and justice of Englishmen. No testimony could be more grateful to a public man than the ma nifestation of such applause us bad been bestowed upon him—( Cheers). The health. of the- Speaker of the House of Com mons, of Lord Rolle, the Governor of the Bank of Eng land, the City Magistrates, &c. followed.

The magnet of the night, however, was the new melo-dramatic fairy tale. founded upon one of the most popular traditions of the Booth of Leland, and pos. seises sufficient variety and merit to make it probable it will enjoy a considerable share of popularity. It was announced' for repetition this evening amidst applause. COVENT-GARDEN.

The .c,nery throughout is as splendid as any that ever Coyest Garden has pVoduced, and the rapid changes were rurally made in a manner . fhat much resembled the labours of a supernatural hand. The aebic, by Mr. RODWILL, is some of it. esiremely pretty, and will add considet ably to his teputation as a composer; and when Mr. WARDE announced that ii would be • 4 performed every evening until further notice," the applause' were loud and general. and there did not appear to be one dissentient in a very full hotaie.
