Rev. Mr. William Faulkener, Rector of Rt. Andrew's, Wohister, produced his Register, bearing the data 1686. It sp., peered that Tte had formed, lent this Register to a gentleman, who was making soma inquiries respecting the Peerage, in order 10 examine it. The Loam CHANCELLOR said that it was very improper to allow the Register out of his possession. The Earl of LAUDERDALE—Did you know the gentleman No ,I did not. Was he recommended to you by any person 2—No. he was not. And did you know his residence or his name ?--No, I did not ; be was a strange? to me, and said that he lived at the inn. The ArroiNZT-OENERAL=—It is a great wonder that Re d *ter ever earns back at all. Their Lmo•dshira observed that it was very unsafe to allow the Ail titer out of the custody of the Rector. The Loa's Cstaoccti.o a said that the Register must remain "lib the House till compared with the authenticated copy of the Bishop. There wan some air- -- - register. Another register was produced, which also exhibited strong marks of postman manufacture, and— The LORD CpIANCELLOR said, that it must be carefully yes. served till some inquiry were made to trace out the particulars, and the party concerned in the transaction, in order that tile Homo might adopt some summary process to prevent the racureilliellet such practices in future. The will of the Earl of Stafford was read. After deviates several things to the best of women, the following ire n excited a laugh :—" To the worst of women **lt I give and devise 45 brass *licence to buy her a pullet for supper," !lac.

The 'Earl of CtintrariDO, eulogised the great care which the Lord Chancellor had alehts peld to questions affecting the dignity of the peerage. Witnesses' were also examined in furtherance of the inquiry rela tive to the Gardner Peerage.—Adjoumed to to-morrow. The Peers met at five o'clock. Mr. Tomlins, from the Tmmtry„ presented a copy of the Treasury Misures fur the rrwry of the once of Clerk of the Pelle. STATE OF IRELAND. The Earl o: HA RROW BY laid upon the table a copy of tie • of the Committee of Imuiry into the state of Ireland.

Ile bad been represented to have said that he saw no hope that slavery =be put down ; now such hid never been his opinion, and of such an opinion he hal never expressed. He had merely .• Mid that the slave trade could not be put down until slavery was. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. Viscouut DUDLEY and WARD, in presenting three petitions from as many trades in Birmingham, against the Combination of Workmen Bill, said that as they had been put into his hands, and a were respectfully worded, he had felt it his duty to present them ; at the saute time, he felt it necessary to observe, that his own opi nion was opposed to that of the petitioners, and that he Mt strongly the propriety of sonic such measure as the one before the House.— Laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that as he had several petitions to peseent upon the same subject, he would take the opportunity of passing some remarks upon the Bill before the k,L House. It appeared to him to be somewhat singular that their . Lordships should be called upon to pros that Bill within two days of the termination of the Session of Parliament, when that Bill was of so much importance, and certainly worthy to occupy the attention of the House fur a much longer time. He did not be lieve that even the documents containing the necessary Information on the subject were yet upon their Lordships' table. Feeling how important this measure was, he felt considenibtedilliculty in giving , his assent to it under existing circumstances, although lie was con. vinced of the necessity of paving before the prorogation of Parliament some such measure. This difficulty was heightened by the fact, that one of the petitions he was about to present prayed that the petitioner' might be head by Counsel at the Bar against this Bill, and certainly when a Bill was iutruduced into the house which affected a large portion of hi+ Majesty's subjects, it was but just that such a prayer should be listened to. He was free to admit, that although under other circumstances he would press even to a division the question that those petitioners be so heard, as he saw that such a motion would be destructive to the Bill, be would at present decline proposing it. The Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed with the Noble Marquis in considering it somewhat inconvenient that the House should be salted upon to decide this important question at so late in period of. the Session; but in this particular case there was less ground for blame than in many others that had occurred of a similar nature. The main meson was one that, perhaps, he ought to be rather ashamed to state to the House: the necessity for the present Bill ' arose in consequence of a Bill which had passed both Houses of Parliament during the last Session ; of the existence of which Hill he had been completely ignorant, and had never teen, nor heard of • it, until it became a law. If he had heard of, or seen it, he should b.ve found it impossible to give it his anent, and he thought Le should have been able so to satisfy their Lordship, as to have induced them to withhold the consent they had given. The Committee with which that Bill originated, wished to do what the present Bill did, namely, to repeal all the old statutes on the subject of combinations ; and if they had confined themselves to this object, it would have been highly adriaeable to have adopted the measure, but thin went farther, and by one *weeping clause re• pealed the whole of the common law on the subject of combinations of workmen, and theist masters. The Bill having passed both Houses of Pathan ent, hit attention was drawn to it by the crying grievances which arose out of it in all parts of the country ; and theretote a Commit m of the other Ilouse had been cppointed to re consider thesubj 'ct, and thus delay had been created. He contended that the Bill was ne:esury to the quiet and tranquillity of the country. If there were any defects in it, which however he did not perceive, they might br posted out to Parliament during the next year. Its object was not only to prevent combinations of the work. men against the masters. bin also of the masters against the work men, and especially to p•evtir. one great evil—the combinations of workmen against work nen ; fur combinations were not only In. jurons to mastersuid tithe public. bat to the honest workman, who became so terrified as to to unladen) make whot arrangements he pleased with respect to hie wages. The Bill certainly repealed the Bill of last Se.slll4l. bosh did what was done by that Bill, in repealing all the old Stattbles of the law of England on this sub. jut. It was iiitendul And provided by this Bill that workmen should be entitled to hold any honest and bona fide meeting for the purpose of making arrangements with reaper to wages ; and the Piss also indurated and allowed an appeal against the decision of a Al militate to the Quarter Sessions. The Marquis of LANSDOWN stud that he did not wish to be understood as opposing the Bill ; on the contrary, he looked upon it as a nicerta. ry measure, and wished that this opinion might se tort' to the world. He !deiced upon it as a Bill protecting the workmen against themselves; for it followed, as a matter of course, that if wotkinen were permit'. •d to impose arbitrary laws upon one another, many of toem would be forced to leave this country for some country where they might be permitted to make their own bargains, and be protecsed by •he Government.

He would merely Moon', that if any body of persons thooght themselves aggrieved by this Bill, and woad donne the neat .ss- ion petition the House to be heard by conned cosiest it, he would certainly propose that they be so holed. The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to one of the petitions presented by the Noble Marquis, and stated that the House could not receive it, as It reopened to be from the "delegates" of certain trades in the cities of London and Weetenimter. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was ready to admit that the mode of proceeding was an improper one, and would therefore withdraw it. The Earl of ROSSLYN supported the Bill on the ground that every man had a right in disposing of his labour to make that bar gain which was mast advantageous to himself. He had to present several petitions from persons whose opinions were contrary to his, and the only portion of them to which he would call the attention of the House was, the declaration that the clause in the Bill obi& permitted workmen to meet for the purpose of making art tinge mesa with respect to wages, did not go sufficiently far. There were many instances in which masters made certain regulations which tended to alter wages, although it did not actually do tio.i and he thought that meetings, whew such was the case, ought be ' be made legal., The Marquis of LANSDOWN then presented petitions against the Combi,ition of Workmen Bill, from the broad silk weavers of Wincheater, the journeymen ladies' boot and shoe-makers of Westminster, and from the broad silk weavers of Spitalfields. (The latter petition was read at length.)—Laid on the table. Petitions to the same effect were presented by the Earl of ROSSLYN from the shipwrights of the River Thames ; the 1 power-loom woken of Manchester; the calico printer% of Surrey; and the operative cotton-spinners of the cotton mills of Glasgow.— Laid GO the table I The Earl of DARNLEY said, he did not rise to oppose the Bill, but merely to express his astonishment that his Majesty's Prime Minister should rise op in his place in that House, and declare that he had been utterly unconscious of a most important Bill having passed both Houses of Parliament. This was a state of things that ought not to be tolerated, and was most di graceful and injurious to the country. A number of Bills w et thus brought up en masse from the other House, and passed by without notice. Op the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the House re. solved HMV %Ma Committee on the Bill. The Marquis of DA NSDOIVN said, that he had some objection to the clause respecting punishment ; but he objected to the quality, and not the quantity, of the punishment. He thought the treed-mill ought only to be used to punish those who were guilty of infamous crimes; and lie was sure that if such were the we its effect would be much greate r. He would therefore' move that the words "be kept to hard labour" be omitted t and' if it were thought that the punishment would then be too slight. he would propose that six months' confinement be substituted for three 1 months. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he could conceive that many gross cases might arise front combinationt, and that therefore the punishment by hard labour would be often a fit punishment. The punishment, however, did not depend upon any Magistrate, for a pera n convicted had a right to appeal to the Quarter Sessions, and punishment must be deferred until the sentence were confirmed. Th !amendment was then negatived without a division. The Earl of ROSSLYN then tnoved that the donee permitting meetings of workmen to arrange respecting wages, should be ex tended to cases in which there was a probability that alterations in wages were intended. The LORD CHANCELLOR said dent the amendment of the Noble Earl was unnecessary, as persons were by the Bill permitted to meet (In all subjects relating to the regulation of prices of labour. The Earl of ROSSLYN said that as he felt assured the opinion of the Noble and Learned Lord would satisfy those who were con caned in it, he would withdraw his amendment. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn. The Bill then went through a Committee, and was reported with some verbal amendments. BANE CASH PAYMENTS. Earl GROSVENOR said he felt it necessary to call the attn. lion of the Haase to a subject of some importance. He alluded to a circumstance which had lately occurred, and of which perhaps all their Lordships had heard. Certain notes of the Bristol bank bad been tendered to that bank, and had been refused to be taken in exchange for cash. Now be had understood that bankers were obliged by Act of Parliament to pay their notes in cash, and he that such would be the future understanding. 11. 1 ) 'V e Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that the bank alluded to hod been somewhat precipitate in their refusal; the Noble Earl,' however, might rest aasused that such refusals would not be again (made, except a hen hankers were to become bankrupts. 1 Earl CLIFDEN said that the Bank of Ireland, in order to dia. Swage applications for gold, were in the habit of paying guineas, which, though legal tenders, were almost useless for purposes of circulation. I The Earl of LIVERPOOL was not aware that such a system existed. Earl C LIFDEN assured the Noble Earl that he had his infix. minion from the best authority. INDICTMENTS' REMOVAL BILL. The 3farque rat'LANSDOWN moved the Order of th . e pay for the House to essolve itself into a Committee on t*-- musts' Removal Bill. said that as the Bill came up from the Commons hut • few days since, without the possibility of consulting any authorities upon its expediency. he hoped the Noble Marquis would be satisfied to withdraw it until the next Session of Parliament. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was satisfied to acquiesce in the suggestion of the Noble and Learned Lord, and for the presort to withdraw the Bill. He was anxious, however, that it should not be considered as applying to a fanciful grievance. Under existing laws, defendants in the King's Bench were only allowed to remove a cause by - application for a writ, a certiorari, while prosecutors could act without it. To give this right to the one as well as to the other, was the object of this Biil. The Bill was then withdrawn. CDURCH RATES IN IRELAND. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWN the Church Rates in Ireland Bill went through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Adjoutned at seven o'clock.

The French Papers that arrived last night are almost entirely destitute of political interest. By the following extracts from the Etude it appears that the amicable re lations between Russia and the Porte arc on the point of being renewed. [From the Done, dated Sunday, July 31 JAssv, JUNE 6. Her Highness the reigning Princess has returned to this city with her family, from her visit to Constantinople, on account of the marriage of ha eldest son, Prince Nicola.; Stourtiza, who is there in the character of Resident of Moldavia. The state both of the public tranquillity and the health of the country, from the Bosphorus to the Danube, as well as in the prin cipalities, is very satisfactory. The Hetman Constantino Pallady Bogdan has returned from his exile in Asia, where he has languished several years, in conse quence of the disasters of the family of Prince Callimachi, whose son-in-law he was. The account of his sufferings, and those of his companions in misfortune, and the description of the places where he resided, afford many interesting particulars. Messrs. Franchini, the dragomans of the Russi..n legation at Constantinople, already exercise their functions there. The Russian post between Bucharest and Constantinople is established on the same footing as in former times, and several Russian couriers from. St. Petersburgh have already taken that route. We are also taught to expect the speedy arrival at KischeneW of the Marquis de la Ribeaupicrre, Minister of Russia to the Sublime Porte, which would indicate that his Excellency will shortly re pair to his post. PARIS, JULY 2. The Coterrkr Flancal: informs us to day that there has been a tumult at Toledo ; it learns the event horn letters, dated Madrid, the 20th instant. We are able to make the Conrrier easy. We have this moment received letters from Madrid of the 22d; Toledo was perfectly tranquil. A liberal journal to-day says the French are fortifying Tarifa, which causes great uneasiness in Spain, because this circumstance leads people to expect a new attempt of the Constitutionalists : this is the falsehood.

A few good frigntes mutt be of inestimable value to Greece; nor merely by contributing to victory in her naval contests, but by se curing her defenceless coasts and her fertile islands from the horrors of Turkish invasion. PHILADELPIITA, JUNI 3. We have received a file of the Mexican So!, extending to the 30th of April. The Gencr.il Congress was busily engaged in or ganising the government. From the reports in the papers, it would appear that its proceedings are conducted with wisdom and mode. ration. The-treaty with Great Britain hail not been made public, And it lad Weenie unpopular with the people, as they' conceived %t 'to contain some very obnoxious 'provisions , such, for example, as exacting from the Mexican Government the free toleration of reli glen, the cession of the Californias, &c. The Editor of the Sol takes up two columns of his paper in correcting these erroneous no tions. The Federal Congress of Guatimala was employed in passing laws for raising a revenue, suppressing smuggling, protecting agri culture, commerce, and manufactures of the country, and providing foe the immediate organisation of a Senate. There was some conversation last night in the House of Lords on the Bill for amending the Combination Laws, The Marquis of LAICIDOWN complained that this measure was brought before their Lordships at too late a period of the Session ; but he was unwilling to oppose it, lest he should prevent it from passing, being fully coevinced that some remedy was necessary for the existing evils. In re ply to these observations, the Earl of LIVERPOOL con tended that the Bill was essential to the quiet and tran quillity of the country. The Noble Earl stated that if lie had j been aware of the provisions of the Act of last &salon he would not have suffered it to pass without opposition. That Act repealed not only all the Statutes relating to combina tions, but the whole of the common law also. The object of the present Bill is to prevent combinations, whether of work men or masters, for any purpose but that of deciding with regard to the arrangements, as to time and wages, they may think tit to prefer for themselves. Looking at the state of the manufacturing districts during the last year, there can be no doubt that some enactment was required for the protec tion of those who were not parties to the dangerous confederacies formed by the journeymen in wine of the principal trades, sur well as for the preservation of the public peace. The Bill now before Parliament is well devised to meet the exigencies of the moment, and there fore it has our cordial approbation. CITY, MONDAY EVENING, The English Funds are a shade dearer this day than they were on Saturday. They are not now influenced by political occur. rences, and nothing but increased capital can, under the blessings which peace is conferring on the world, effect any great variation in their value. South American Securital are also a shade higher. Freach Beiges have advanced about one-half per cent. illoney is more plentiful, and as its Int'rest decrea•.es, the value of National Se curities must be proportionately enhanced. Nothing is more necessary to a commercial community than the rapid transmissions of mercantile information. This principle is peculiarly applicable to Ireland, and his Majesty's Post-Master-General has done every thing in his power to render the communication betwixt Great Britain and Ireland as perfect as possible, by the establishment of steam-packets on the Milford, Holyhead, and Portpatrick stations. The system is now so complete, that on the lat ter station alone is any improvement requisite, for cer tainly one day's post may be saved on the Portpatrick sta tion by a proper attention to the mail coach arrangements. The Dublin mail arrives in Belfast at 9 in the morning, where, for some reason not understood, it remains till 3 in the afternoon, when it proceeds to Donnaghadee. Thus six hours are lost at Belfast. From Donnaghadee to Port patrick the passage by steam 2 hours, arid with foul winds 3 hours. The Dublin snail, therefore, arrives at the latter place ate in the evening. The London and Port patricleitoyal Mail starts from the latter place at 6 o'clock on the following morning, thus losing at Portpatrick not less certainly than ten hours. It arrives at Carlisle about 11 or 12 o'clock on the same night, and is there again detained until seven o'clock the next morning, when it joins the mail from Glasgow to London. Thus twenty four hours are positively lost in the transmission of intelli gence betwixt Dublin and the north of England ; for which however the remedy is most easy. The mail from Dublin may arrive at Belfast at eight o'clock in the morn ing, and thejettersav he in Portpatrick at three o'clock ne t ortpatric ial k marl may then stint at four in the afternoon, mad it would thus arrive at Carlisle early enough on the succeeding morning to meet the mail from Glasgow for London, by which change twenty-four hours would be gained in the communication betwixt Great Britain and Ire land by this station. The communication betwixt Belfast and Glasgow is on the worst footing, for there is no road betwixt Girvan and Stranraer on which a mail coach can with safety be driven. if the Ayrshire gentlemen pleased, an excellent road could be made for less than 15,0001. according to the estimate of Mr. Telford, by which the time necessary for a journey betwixt Glasgow and Belfast would be reduced to about seventeen hours, being shorter than the time required by the steam vessels betwixt Greenock and Belfast, under the most favourab:e ci The valuable correspondence betwixt Glasgow and Ireland is at present intrusted to a boy on horseback betwixt Portpatrick and Ayr; and there is an instance of some of his bags being found on the road and returned to the nearest postmaster. The establishment of the Post-office has nothing where with to blame itself for this state of the Ayrshire road, dependin ,, , as it does, entirely on the county gentlemen ; though after the great expense to which they sub jected themselves by the establishment of two expensive steam packets on the Portpatrick station, they have a good right to require that a mail coach road be made betwixt Gir van and Stranraer by the proprietors of that fine country. The road would pay itself if any public establishment undertook its formation, for the traffic on it would be great. Extract of a letter received yesterday morning by an eminent Italian mercantile establishment, dated from Malta on the I4th of June : " I have now great pleasure in advising vou, that, although in my letter of the Sth of this month I expressed to you my doubts of the news, a confirmation has since been receives( here of the de struction of the Egyptian fleet, which had disembarked troops in the 3lorea. It is now certain that thirty-two of their ships have been burned by Admiral Miaulis, of which thirteen were large ships, and belonging to the Egyptian Government. The destruc tion of the fortress of illrtdon has also been confirmed. This event crested much alarm amongst the Ottoman forces, and the conse quence was their flight to Curon. In this attempt, however, the) were intercepted by the Christians, and many of them were made prisoners, including nearly all the chiefs and officers." This letter does not mention the surrender of Navarino, although its writer, in his communications of the 4th of June, expressed his fetas that the garrison hail been com pelled to submit to the invaders of Greece. It may there fore be presumed that the arrival of Ibrahim Paella at Coren, mentioned in letters from that neighbourhood, dated early in June, is cc .rest, and that the fate of Nava rino was decided when the Egyptian fleet was destroyed. Letters from Constantinople, dated May 28, mention the death of another child of the Sultan by small-pox, making the third which he has lost by this disease within a short period. It seems, however, that he does not allow these domestic calamities to interfere with public business, and that he is indefatigable in his preparations for reinforcing his armies in Greece. Oa the 24th it was announced that his troops had taken possession of Fort Ligor, before Ana tolico, and that more than 20,000 men were marching upon Missolonghi. Of these, however, 11,000 are acknowledged !to be Albanians, upon whom the Porte places but little re liance, as they serve the 'f arks only for the purpose of se curing their possessions, and would, with the first oppor tunity, turn upon their present allies. The Lisbon Packet that arrived yesterday brought let ters to the 18th June, but they contain no public news whatever. The following were yesterday morning stuck up at Lloyd's:—. " GIBRALTAR. JUNE 11. " The Flor de Despiqwe Aranje, which cleared hence 19th ult. for Para, detained by a Spanish guard' costa, and carried into Al. gesinis, has been rcle,ased, and returned here yesterday." " Pants, JULY 1. " Some armed vessels quitted St. Antler without notice, have plundered a Dutch vessel, on the pretext of having Spanish pro perty on hoard. They stated that they carried letters of marque from the Colombian agent at Gibraltar." Tho letters from Demerara, dated 14th May. state the colony to be very unhealthy, on aceannt of the continued drought. Several old settlers have fallen victims to the fever. There had, however, latterly been some partial rains. w t Ur'", r THE KING'S GR_LVD BALL AND SUPPER. Yesterday the first grand eat rtainment was given by his Majesty, at his palace in S.. James's, since the improve ments and alterations which that ancient building has undergone, and which is the first thing of the kind that has taken piece in that palace for twenty-three years past, when the late King and Queen bad their last ball there, at the celebration of the late King's birth, when minuets were in fashion, and when public balls were given by their Majesties at the celebration of both their Birth. days, after the Drawing-morns, at which all those who were in the habit of attending Courts were admitted. These assemblies were discontinued owing to the declining , years of their late Majesties, and other circumstances. No public or state use has been made of this venerable pile for a number of years. The suite of state rooms in it were always considered the best in Europe, particularly for holding Levees and Drawing-rooms, but they had been suffered to go to decay, were very muc h out of repair, and in fact were void of all ornament except the ancient valuable tapestry. About three years since it *as deter mined to improve, enlarge, and beautify the Palace, re taining the suite of court rooms, with the exception of throwing two of the rooms into one, the separation of which was deemed useless. In the various improvements con templated, grand entertainments were not loot sight of, and T old kitchen was connected with the offices of the Palace, without having to go out in the open air, through the Ambassadors and Entre-yard, as was formerly the case. The kitchen has been altered according to modern improve went, under the immediate direction of Mr. Vilinet, his Majesty's principal cook. The King having determined to give a grand enter ' taintnent at this Palace, cards of invitation were issued on the 2tth June, stating that the Equery in waiting had received his Majesty's commands to invite (inserting the parties' name or names invited) to a ball and supper.' At the bottom of the card was inserted, within a Parenthesis, Gala Dress. The entertainment of last bight Watt provided in the Lord Steward's department, and the whole of the exten• sive arrangements have been made under the immediate direction of Mr. Brent, the Deputy Comptroller of the Household; the whole of which was managed with the greatest regularity and splendour, worthy the beloved So vereign of Great Britain. The execution of the arrange ments was in the department of Mr. Moorfield, the prin cipal Clerk of the K tchen. The provisions had been pre paring for some (lays past in the kitchen at the King's Palace, Pall-mall, and also in the new-arranged kitchen in the Ainbsosador and Entre-yard, under the direction of Mr. Vilinet. During yestirday preparations were making at the Palace for Ise evening's entertainment, in the different de partment:: A number of carts and waggons, loaded with orange and other choice trees, and also a great variety of growing flowers from the Royal Gardens at Kew, arrived; which were tastefully and judiciously placed on the grand staircase and in various appropriate parts of the rooms, under the direction of Mr. Aiton, the King's principal gardener. The rooms were dry rubbed. The company invited to the entertainment of last night was more select than nomerems, there being only about 300 present. The company began to arrive at ten o'clock, the hour at which their cards of invitation mentioned. They enterel by the colonnade, at which the general corn panv enter at the King's drawing-rooms. They were re. ceived by the Mashalmen in their state uniforms, the Under Porters in their uniform, the Gentlemen Porters in their Court dresses. The entrance was lighted by two large square lamps on pedestals, with two burners each. the colonnatle through which tho company passed, leading to the foot of the grand staircase, was lighted with twelve candelabra, with two glass burners each, on pillars, painted in imitation of marble. A choice selection of orange trees in full blossom, with a great variety of most fragrant flowers, brought from the Royal gardens at Kew, were placed in the niche at the bottom of the grand stair case. The landing at the top of the grand staircase was lighted with nine candelabra, about seven feet in height, designed by Balarino, after the manner of the antique, ,each candelabrum having three ground glass burners, bronzed. The King's private band, under the direction of Mr. Kramer, their Master, was stationed in the Presence Chamber, who commenced playing on the arrival of the company, and they continued playing during the evening, at intervals, at the cessation of the dancing, &c. The dancing commenced in the ball-room, about elevest d an an d ce l s 4 , co oth ns e i r st e i h n o g ic o e f p rs erf les or s m rs. er tl , uz w a h r o d, w lt e li r c e ha s u ta , t C io o n l e l d ine i t n te a , o'clock, which was accompanied by a band engaged for the temporary orchestra, erected in a recess of one of the win dows. The ball room was brilliantly illuminated, having in the centre a superb or-inolu chandelier, containing two rows of wax lights, each row containing 60 lights. This room, which is only second in size to the banquet ' ting-rootn, being above 60 feet in length, and near forty in breath, also contained two superb candelabra, above twelve feet in bight, the ornaments of which were parti cularly rich ; each of these chandelabras contained twelve wax Candles, and were placed on the side of the room op posite the orchestra. The ceiling of the ball room is ornamented with gold mouldings, and is finished at each corner with a remarkably bold gilt scroll. On each side of the grand centre door, which is sur mounted by a rich cornice leading to the entire room, stood a gilt candelabrum on a very massy branch, richly carved and gilt, containing twelve wax lights, each arranged in the form of a semicircle, which had a very brilliant effect; two candelabra of exactly a similar description were on each side of the fire-place, at the bottom of the room. These, as well as the whole of the superb chandeliers, candelabra, &c. displayed on this occasion, were furnished by Messrs. Perry, of Bond -street, and also by Messrs. Hancock, Shepherd, and Co., from their extensive Show-rooms, in Pall-mall, East. The front of the temporary orchestra was hung with crimson cloth, draped in festoons to correspond with the curtains, and was edged with broad yellow fringe. The entre-room, which joins the ball-room, had in the middle an elegant chandelier, equal in splendour and size to that of the . ball-room, containing two rows of thirty wax lights each. The three pier glasses in this room extend to the floor ; in front of each of them two gilt candelabra of a very light and tasteful description were placed, havirg four wax lights each. This room is equal in breadth to the ball-room, but it is not so long. The drawing-room was lighted by a large chandelier, containing two rows of eighteen wax lights each. Can delabra of the same description as those of the entry -roost were placed in front of the piers in this room. In the gallery leading from the ball-room to the ban queting-room, five tables were set out with refreshments for the company, contained in an assortment of gold plate. Two of the tables were set apart for furnishing the com pany with tea and coffi.e. On two of the tables iees were served ; and on the other, a variety of refreshments were supplied. In the centre of each of the tables stood a very largo fluted massive candelabrum,ornamented at the bottom wi::: the royal arms. They were all surmounted by a lion, standing on a silver crown, having also a small one on is head,each candelabrum containing twelve wax lights. Then. was a great display of superb gold plate on the Initl;Pe table in this room. Four Grecian candelabra, mounted on petleatala, richly gilt, were placed between each window. with two burners each. Similar candelabra were placed on each side of the door, at both ends of the gallery. T!!e side of the gallery, opposite the windows, contain the fu'l length portraits of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary, Queea Elizabeth, King James I. King Charles 1. King Charles 11. King James 11. King William and Queen Mary, re presented in their full robes, all being of the same size, and the frames of the pictures corresponding. with the ex ception of King Charles I. which is in the centre. over the fire place, and is larger than the others. .1 number of seats were placed along the whole length of this room, which were covered with crimson cloth, edged with yellow to immitate gold, for the accommodation of the company who partook of the refreshments provided there. The room is considered to be about SO feet long. About one o'clock the banqueting room was thrown open. and is justly entitled to that name, as it stands unequalled in size, elegance, and splendour, in its fittings up, &e., and the massive, costly, and magnificent service of his Majt at s plate, which afforded an ample scope for the taste of Mr. Belmar, the King's confectioner, in its distributions and Sunday nig James's, wthn yesterday. • The King 1 tom Graham, in the great ha by his Majesty miration of tha His Majesty Robert Seymos sufferers by the Mary-la-bonne A Council Carlton Palace, Mr. CatiiiinE ter Lodge.
