The enitipanv began t :mouldy at nine. The first object for the eye was the it imMeatinn in tee Court yard. Berlington-henste. Imilt by the Arid am:tient. architect of his day, has been long esteemed clip hr the finest ap x!e i a tet,e o f cavil architecture in Togliatti'. The printtipal front is ornamented with CotietUitin pilaste.a, the wings are massive. alai a fine cnionatle completes the circle. This was all stroegly illit nitrated A temporary se:11101(4m; in front of the principal house entrattee,_, was covered with lamps in device... the Prince's feather in the centre. 'file chief roote for the fete were temporary, and envered will' canvas but we have'schlom seen decoration more 'richly or taerefally disposed of. *A- , the company passed to the dif lerent apartments. strong surprise was the natutal feeling at the ex peeliiion Mel skill with which so nitwit splendour waa produced. The ptineipai rooms were four The hall-room was divided into' three 'enamel walk-, by two rows of pillars reaching to the roof.. told covered with white muslin. in large &titters: the cielieg was a let Marquee, in stinug folds, varied with rosettes, of white, from which eitatdeliera Ittieg, and light drapery borders. Fifty-four int ineese white curtains Imitg from the ceiling, fastened With rosettes. •and draped the pillars, from their length. and lightness, gave the entiee vast hall a peculiar impression of eleeance. A small recess foY the musicians was hollowed out at the end opposite to the principal entrance : at tire other extreme a (glory was 'formed. whole roof and sides were covered with white The floor was chalked in large compartments ; that at thelwad, covered with the British and Allied Arms ; the border and intermediate Speea deep yellow; the elevated plateaux on -eitirg side covered wit a scarlet cloth. The promenade loon, was the next source of attraction, It vas lined throughout with roses 'eolunied nittalitt in flares, its roof grained, and covered with white end rose-colour. The beauty and effect of this scene, filled with the realtittine of the first women in England, all that was lovely in youth and tanioent in rank, and rich in attire, cannot be adequately des mbed. The Imperial and Royal Visitors arrived ahont twelve, and immediately enterel into the spirit of the party; The Emperor joined the dance, and even distingnislied himself by the interest which he seemed to take it: this part of the amusement. 'rite King of Ornssia declined dancing, and continued in conversation and sur veying tire apartments with so much imdulgence, that lie did not sit down to mpper till long after it hail commenced. On ate announce .nreut of - supper the royal Room was thrown open for the first time. It was grand in all its proportions,—the walls covered. with a fine potiorisier painting of the arrival of the Sovereigns at Dover, root [Mug 'with azure blue. A platform at the tipper end, set amixt foT the piincipul guests, reptesenteil the quarter-deck of the which they came ever. • The Prinee's table was designed for but twenty-four, and covered - with .gold plate :on its removal, a - sea- Nice of glass was Set 011itliglATCd with the arms and cyphers of the • • ••,;, .• y ; 4i.. ; aiJNt 26. liistrions strencers. At the sides, and forming right angles the table, were two others for the manage*, arid their immediate friends. The sideboard was covered With gold and silver plate itt tiers, as at the Vittoria festival. The thatideliers sere of pecilliat tirlitiess, and such as do honour to the skill of British manufacture. There were, of various forms and sizes, probably not less than al t hundred of those most splendid ornaments to the different halls; anti filing some points of view, the blaze of almost the entire. was at once A wall of n,irter at the end of the " lloyill Room," re fircted its Whole length. The signal for supper etas given at IWO o'clotk, and 2566 persons sat down to an entertaititneut not unsuited to the pomp that was around then'. Several bands, stationed in the halls a nd marquees without. struck np at the moinent, and their ins visible pertirmalice heightened the illusion of the time. The tem perate habits or the chief visitors ilia not, however, allow m the ta this diligence to continue long. The Fnuperor rose shortly fro ble, and his example was followed by the company. He entered among the waltiers, and contieued to dance with great activity and delight. until the Sin beaming in, gage an itithilation which it is not among his habits to disobey, and he retired between 5 and 6 o'clock. The great maoritv, owe ver, ke pt up the dance, and the roonts were not totall7 c l earef! h et Lil steen in the manilas. There Were no toasts, and no his.;6tig at suppet. As soon ai the company had risen from the table; the Soldiers ne duty, a detachment td the liorFteenards and infant ty, were brought in and by a very considerate and iiimsnel liberality allowed to take their share of enjoyment. From the nature of their construction, the apartments were peculiarly exposed to fire ; this was, however, oh-e3ted by e very imaginable contrivance. All liehts that could inter• rere tvith the draperies were prohibited : t. tioating of the draperies I' 'len.: elves was testrah,efl as much a.. was consistent with grace; Lint to remilly the evil ;,, u:ic most secure way, if it was to occur, Ire enables were in communication with a large ruseivoir in the gardens. and rows of buckets to extinguish the first accidental :nark ranged rotund the walls. The tables sparkled with the finest ..erviees of glass, interspersed with plateaux, haunters richly painted, exquisite shrubs, anti plate, all seen under the light of the most superb and numerous seta of cliandelit rs that perhaps have ever been used on one occasion. We understand that some further entertdind ments are contemplated before taking &WO the present slime i n ; and that the first of these is to be a norited hall. How far a conti linatime of these profuse festivals may be wise or Necoiniinz, F. to be determined only by the event but on the prc.int oceasimi, we have no objectimi to reckon it ane.ng the sources of oational that those wboin we are ambitions to Honour as guests amid allies, have seen such an Wertaitiment sitstained, not as in other cmintries by courtly prodigality, but originating in the spirit of indisideal eentlenter,_and set forth in a stile which th e extreuse of Ro y al ex t ra vagaace could scarcely veetAt c to equal.
