U nder the name. of Wellington was a star of great magnitude, in the centre of whits!) were the letters D; Y. in Italian characters, standing ,for the Duke of York, the Conimander in Chief of the British troops. The pillars which support the roof were entwined with spiral lines of variegated lamps, and' the whole was interspersed with diamonds and an immense profusion of 'Nitrel leaves, the fresh green of which, contrasted with the broad glare of the lamps, had the most happy effitct, and softened that. light . which would otherwise have been al most insiipportable Entanating from this grand centre, ran round the covered. way forming the quadrangle, arrange of illumined harden, on which were inscribed the names of the principal Officers, British, Spanish, and Portuguese, woo have distinguished them_ selves during the war in the Peninsula. Ott the south side, and immediately opposite. to the Pa vilion bearing the name of Wellingtou, was the word Vittorio, entwined with laurels, and splen. didly illumined.

In the back groan() the fight was seen to rage in all its Tory ; while the whole was enveloped in thick lowering eloutii, , ,froin the top of whirl ) burst a ray of light, which darting upon the figure of the gallant Wellington,lifted him, as it were, from the SC+MQ of carnage with which he. was surrounded, and exhibited him to the full view of the spectator.

It is about a yard square, anti a good deal torn: A pavilion of flags in front exhibited the interesting part of the spectacle to the utmost advantege, to impart fur ther beauty to which, a great body of light was introduced, wide!' had the most fascinating effect. Immediately in the front of this recess was erected a large semicircular platform, with arl ascent of two steps, which was also covered with crimson coloured cloth, and upon this was placed a semi circular table, calculated to give accommodation to abbot 100 persons of cliStinetitf. From this table a complete view wits had of all the other tables, which proceeded in a direct line from it, through the Picture-room, to the temporary refec tory.
