OPLNIKG OF iVES7 IkDIA-DoCX,S4. --- YEsa - Cttba:l-, was the day - fiked Upon for the ceremony of receiving • the first ship into the Great DOck: The name of the ship Made use of on this occasion was the Henry finest vessel newly built, and One of t h e finest in the West India Trade ; she had been for some days lyingofF,Black wail, in order to be adniitted into the Docks:, . Yesterday morning she displayed an appearance as beautiful arid splendid as.'can be conceived ; her masts, yards, iand rigging,: were decorated with about zdo elegant -Flags; vhich represent ed the. Colours of a l l, , the.. Nations , in the world. Four Of these were immediately. applicable. to our own 'Cbuntry.. The British-Standard was hoisted at the main-top-gallant-mast-head. • On the fore top-gallant-mast was the Admiralty Flag. At the mizen-top.gallant-mast the Union Jack was hoisted; and at the stern, was the great English Ensign, fas tened to a rope, which reached from the top of the mizen-peak to the quarter-deck. The dif ferent other Colours were flying from the stays, the braces, and various other ropes communicating between the masts and•the yards. Among these the Colours of America; Spain, Portugal, France, Rus sia, and those countries with which we carry on the greatest commerce, were the most conspicuous.— There were American Colours near the bow-sprit and 'thefore.itip:mast. those of France were 0,-- ing . near 'the- plain-top,yaid-arm, on the larboard side. Penchints of all descriptions waved at each yardarm, and the ship moved amidst the plaudits of an immense multitude. About twelve o'clock, themuter gates, Communi, 'eating between the River and the Et r itrance Bason Were opened, and the ship was towed in by men on • each side of the Bason, who were about one hun dred in number: The motion of the ship through the Bason was very slow. At one o'clock she en, rered the Great Dock ; Immediately on which the Company on board of her, together with all the people assembled along the shore, gave three.cheers. The band of music on board, as well as the band of the West. London Militia, which was on _shore, played " God save the King:" The 'vessel was then fastened to one of thetnoorings that lay next the Entrance Bason ; and of which there are four and twenty in the Dock. The Earl of ROSLYN ; Lords HciOD, PELHAM, HOBART, HAIVRESSIIKY, SHEFFIELD, HARVEY, and GLENB-ERVIE J Sir SIDNEY SMITH, the LORD MAYOR, Sir GEORGE SHEE, Mr. Alderman CUR TIS, Mr. - MANNING, &c. &c. went on board the ship,. from which a salute of twenty-one. guns was fired on their stepping upon deck. By that• hospi table tune, 44 The Roast Beef of Old England," which the band struck up at this time,. they were invited to an elegant cold Collation which was pro vided for - the company.on board, and of which they partook. At two o'clock they landed from the, ship under a discharge of fourteen guns fired as a second salute; and they afterwards 'returned to dine with the Diredors at the London Tavern. Shortly after . the Henry Addington, another West Indianian, called the Eebo," entered the Dock, and was - brought to a mooring. The former was light, but the latter contained between 6 and - 9 - caci hogs heads of sugar, which will be the first goods depo sited .in the new warehouses, .of which there are three now ready for the reception of merchandize. It was 4 not to be expeded that in a work of such magnitude and difficulty as the present, every thing could be•perfed ; and therefore we were not sur prized . at finding that a part of the gate next to the Great Dock could not be immediately opened, owing to the chain that communicated between it, and the capstan haVing been broken. But the ship in moving along did what the chain was.unable to do. • It Was not alone at this place that the day was celebrated. Numbers of ships lying near Lime_• house Hole and at Blackwall, had their Colours fly ing, •and Colours were displayed on•land at various. places adjacent. The Royal Standard was all day hoisted on the top of the Warehouse No. 8. . The company on board the - Henry Addington consisted chiefly of West India Merchants and their friends, Several persons were admitted on board with tickets, and the-ship was very crowded. Al -Most the -whole of her quarter-deck was covered with a beautiful awning ; between which and the . stern a kind of stage was - ere led, on which the band of music waft placed. The company; attong which were nutriberS of elegant females, had every kind of refreshment, and they coritintieci bh bead to a late hour in the evening. Although the crowds On each side of the Dock, particularly on the South side s <Where all persons-had • free access, were immense; we have not heard of any one accident having taken place. Several Gen tlemen and Ladies on the North Quay, were at one time thrown down cm the sand and loose timber; but-that was occasioned chiefly by the carelessness of the men who were towing in the ship. 'The-Warehouset.are- the grandest, the most cwt_ rt . :odious and spacious we have .ever seen,. and are capable of containing a vast quantity of goods. When the Noblemen and Gentlemen we have already Mentioned arrived at the London Tavern, they were met there by His Royal Highness the Duriti of Yoftk, the Right Hon: Mr. AtitiitsthTdri, and a number- of Noblemen and Gentlemen, who partook of a very sumptuous dinner, which was provided on the occasion, and the day was spent with great conviviality. After dinner the follow ing toasts were drank The Kx tre and Constitution. The QUEEN. The Dun.x. of YORK and the Army. . Lord Sr. Vlrrcr.pr and the Navy.

Moutittp,4st,,, being the . day appointed for the CarnmeMorhtko, in this City, of the iMportant services of the Right Honourable WILLIAM PITT, the same Was ushered in-by the ringing of bells at the respedive Churches, (which .were also dressed with' colours) and'the firingor cannon ; indeed. midnight was hardly passed by' the clock's striking; twelve befiire the bells struck out; continuing with very little intermission for the ,whole day. At an early, hour there was a discharge of twehty_pne pieces of cannon, which was repeated at nine, twelve, and at three o'clock; and when the health of *that great Statesman was drank after dinner, it was announced by the hoisting. a flag at the,yerchauts' 7 Hall where the company dined; apd,iminediately 'thereupon was a discharge of eighteen .pieces of cannon (the num., ber of years Mr. PITT Was in -Administ r ati on ) thriec,, repeated,' which was answered by the firing of the bells from the respedive Churches eighteen rounds each.
