The great gates were thrown open, and the Rov PARTY entered the yard ; they were received by .. l the grenadier company _of Bank Volntneent, corn manded by Captain ElattlSH ; the Governor and Deputy, and a number of the Diredors. Mr. Soaric the architect , led the ROYAL PA TV, with a plan of the Bank in his hand ; Mr. WINTIIOII. I, the Governor, attended Her !Amu rv, in a plain dress; who condescended to support herself on his arm through the different officer. Übe PRINCESSES were conduCted by the Dukes of Cum eanta-to and Castigator:ea, Sir BROOK WATSON, Mr. THELLUSION, in a court dress, and Colonel Man/slim; the Duchess of YORK, by the )hake; and Princess SOPHIA of Gr.otcts rex, by Bi.Esrusr Lori°, Esq. the Deputy Governor. In the Bank Stock Offi.e, the Clerks were all at their desks, as if in the at of transading business. Mr. NAWL A.: o, with the most re.peaful attention, explained the business to the koy AL PA ar v. The PRINCESSES looked at the dividend-hooks, and wit's that amiable affability which they possess, asked several questions, and expressed their approbation. From thence they passed through the Cousol-offi4e to the Armoury. Viscount and Viscountess (7ASTLEREACH, and the Countess of CaltDIS AN, were the only strangers who were allowed to be present. When the Roy• I. Visa rues had finished impeCt ing the offices, they were concluded to the Commit tee-Room, where there was a sumptuous cold colla tion provided, of which they partook. A similar provisicn was made for the attendants, in the Diredors parlour. Soon after four o'clock the ROYAL PARTY left the Bank : as they passed through the yard, the Clerks, to the number of 5.37, were assembled, who gave them three cheers. The Gentlemen of the Bank who attended were principally in uniform. There was green baize laid from the Rotunda to the Armoury. The stock-job bers were extremely unwilling to quit the Rotunda, nor could be prevailed on. until the Grenadiers were ordered to form and march round ; when, British Soldier-like, they cleared all before them. Elegant females had concealed themselves in closets and nooks to catch a glimpse of the Royal. Vist- TORS, but they had no better fate then the buair and Lehr. The Rov•t. PARTY were then concluded by Viscount and Viscountess CASTLEREAGH to the India House, where they were received by the Di redors, who had adjourned their Court at one o'clock, to be in readiness to attend them to the Bengal Warehouse, to view the muslin,, &c. and to see the curiosities deposited in the Company's Library, &c. A cold collation was provided in the Court-room, of which the ROY AL :ISotuas par took. A Guard of honour, consisting of the flank companies of the Royal East India ade, were drawn up at the door in Leadeohall-street, to re ceive them. Abotr six o'clock, Her MAJESTY and the Pars cassn left the House with their attendants, highly pleased with the attention of the Diredors, and the testimonies of loyalty and affedion they met in their morning's excursion.
