The principal table and the side-tables were nearly covered with ,epergnes, candelabra, vases, wine coolers, splendid dishes, and numerous other articles, all of them of solid gold plate or silver-gilt. The candelabra were filled with wax-lights, illuminating the Banqueting hall in the most brilliant manner. The magnificent St. George candelabrum, the body representing an oak tree, the branches bearing wax burners, was selected for the middle of the table op posite to the seats of their Majesties and the royal circle. At the base are four youthful figures sup porting shields bearing the arms of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and the Prince of Wales's plume. Medallions of their Majesties George 111., George IV., and Queen Charlotte are inserted at the angles. On each side of this moat splendid candelabrum were two large gold dishes, highly burnished in the middle, containing the royal arms of Great Britain, with supporters, raised in dead gold; the rest of the dishes were ornamented with rich and most elaborate chasing, and each were supported by four gold eagles at the corners. Several of the vases, epergnes, and candelabra, were executed from the classical designs of Flaxman. In addition to the gorgeous appearance of the State banquet, the side boards of gold plate at each end of the hall presented a scene of splendour almost dazzling. Magnificent articles of plate, the choicest and most valuable in the entire Royal collection, being most tastefully dis played under the superintendence of Mr. Elliott, her Majesty's table decker.

The figure of this bird is composed of plates of pure gold, closely inlaid with precious stones, having a collar of diamonds and pearl at the eyes; from the beak is suspended a ruby set in pearls. The tail, which is of some length and outspread, is ornamented with pearls and precious stones. The Hume formerly rested on a slight gold pedes tal, placed at the top of the Tiger's head. Both these magnificent trophies of Oriental Royalty were sent in 1799 by the Marquis Wellesley to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, in order to be presented to his Majesty George III.; and the Huma was presented accordingly, and added to the Royal collection, but the Tiger's head remained in the Museum of the East India Company, until, at the suggestion of the Marquis Wellesley, then Lord Steward of the Household, it was presented to his late Majesty. Originally this Irma surmounted the canopy of the throne of the Sultans of Mysore, which was of an octangular form, the canopy resembling a large umbrella, the border fringed with the richest pearl. It was supported by eight pillars, the capitals of which were in the form of the head of a Royal Tiger, en riched with precious stones. The State standards or flags of Tipp() Sultan, captured at Seringpatam,were placed at the hack of the Tiger's heads. The side boards were adorned with— The " National Cup," with the figures of the Patron Saints of the three nations placed in Gothic niches round the cup, and the national badges formed in diamonds and precious stones, surmounted by the imperial crown set in jewels. The cover of the cup representing the combat of St. George and the Dragon. The exquisite " Nautilus Shell," executed by Ben venuto Cellini. A massive tankard, having antique medallions in serted in it. A richly jewelled cup, supported by figures bear ing shields, on which are emblazoned the national badges. A beautiful bulb cup, the numerous bulbs which cover the exterior of the cup, each having a ruby in the centre. A pair of ivory cups, the rims and bases adorned with precious stones set in gold, the rest of the cup and cover being sculptured in the most finished style in ivory. A tankard, having the figure of a dragon in gold for a handle, the surface of the tankard being composed of ancient gold medals. These medals were bor dered both at the top and bottom with ornaments of turquoise and diamonds. The cover is surmounted by an imperial crown formed of precious stones, the cross surmounting the crown being composed of brilliants. A pair of sconces of silver gilt, adorned each with a fine basso relievo of " The Judgment of Solomon." Several very curious crystal cups and glasses set in gold, and ornamented with precious stones. The sideboard at the east end of the Hall contained an equal variety of rare, costly, and splendid articles, a number of them being of a very massive style, and the collection being almost as numerous. In the front was the Neptune epergne resting upon llippocampi. A profusion of gold candelabra and sconces filled with wax-lights added to the magni ficence of both sideboards. The sides of the Hall were also lighted by lamps between each pier on the one side, and between the series of portraits on the other. Yeomen of the Guard in full costume guarded the entrance to the Hall, and were also stationed at each end. The Queen's pages appeared in their State dresses.

ADDRESS OF THE CORPORATION OF WINDSOR TO THE KING OF THE FRENCH - . his Majesty rose at his accustomed hour this morning, and, after breakfasting with the Duke de Montpensier in his private apartments, spent a short period with the Queen and her Royal Consort. The King, having most graciously consented to receive the address of the body corporate of the borough of New Windsor on Friday, at ten o'clock, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors assembled at the Town-ball shortly before nine, for the purpose of completing the necessary arrangements prior to proceeding to the Castle. There were present—the Mayor, R. Blunt, Esq.; Aldermen Bannister, Snowden, Clode, Soley, and Twinch ; and the following Members of the Town Council :—Messrs. Bedborough, Berridge, Jennings, Tebbott, T. Adams, Ingleton, J. Jennings, 11. Adams, Phillips, Darvill, Hanson, J. Clode, and W. W. Berridge. The Rev. Isaac Gossett, vicar and chaplain to the Cor poration, also attended the meeting in his clerical robes; and Mr. J. Seeker, the town clerk, was present in his official capacity. The various members of the Corporation, having attired themselves in their robes of office, left the hall in procession, and entered a string of carriages which were drawn up in readiness to convey them to the Castle. The cortege moved from the hall at half-past nine o'clock, preceded by the macebearer and other parochial officers, and, on arriving at the great quadrangle, drew up at the State entrance to the Castle. The Corporation having alighted, were conducted up the grand staircase to the Tuccarelli room, where they awaited the convenience of his Majesty to receive them. And here a word may be said as to the striking appearance of the deputation. The Mayor, a fine grey-haired gentleman, of command ing figure, was attired in a rich scarlet robe, trimmed with gold lace. The Aldermen also wore scarlet cloaks, and the members of the Council had on blue silk gowns trimmed with fur, together presenting a very superior specimen of municipal respectability. At half-past ten o'clock Viscount Sydney entered the room, and informed the deputation that his Majesty was in waiting to receive them. The procession then re-formed, and, preceded by four of the royal footmen in state liveries, left the Tuccarelli room for his Majesty's reception chamber, a magnificent apartment, forming the principal chamber of the suite set apart for the use of the King. On entering, his Majesty was discovered standing near the centre of the room with the Duke de Mont pensier immediately on the left, and a little behind his illustrious father. M. Guizot occupied a parallel posi tion opposite the Duke de Montpensier, and all the mem bers of his Majesty's suite were ranged in a half circle behind the King.

But wo have now so recently witnessed the splendid and hospitable reception awarded to the Queen of England by your Majesty and all the members of your illustrious family, and the joyous enthusiasm which pervaded the entire French people on the occasion of her Majesty's visit at your Palace on the shores of Nor mandy, that we are especially delighted your Majesty should now be inclined to experience amongst us the renewal of that cordial and affectionate welcome, the echoes of those fervent greetings, and the universal ex pression of loyal devotion and attachment with which her Majesty was invariably cheered during her sojourn at the Chateau, and in the beautiful environs of Eu. " We are sensible, Sire, that to the wisdom and vigour of your Majesty's councils, and to your increasing en deavours to promote the truest interest of the powerful and generous nation which Providence has committed to your care, may be greatly attributed the reigning tran quillity of Europe, and we venture to augur, that by en couraging a friendly and personal intercourse been een your Majesty and the Sovereign of Great Britain, your Majesty adopts the surest means, not only of strengthen ing the happy and stable alliance between the two coun tries, but of encouraging the Governments of surroundii g kingdoms in the maintenance of their present amicable relations with each other. " May your Majesty be long spared, in unison wilt our Gracious Sovereign, to cultivate the arts of peace . May your Majesty'3 constant and zealous exertions to a,,lvarme the general welfare of mankind be crowned by the dutiful and loyal attachment of all classes of the gal lant and enlightened people whose destinies are placed under the wise and paternal government of your Ma jesty ; and may the two mighty empires of Great Bri tain and France be so indissolubly connected by the re lations of amity and concord, as to ensure and perpetuate to both, and the world at large, the blessings of un interrupted peace and repose. Given under the common seal of the said Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, at the Guildhall, in the said borough, on the Bth day of October, in the eighth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady Victoria, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight-hundred and forty-four." The Town Clerk, having read the address, returned it to the mayor, who placed it in the hands of the King of the French, by whom it was most graciously received. His Majesty having handed the document to M. Guizot, who stood immediately upon the King's right, advanced somewhat nearer to the Corporation than the position he had previously occupied, and addressing himself to that body, spoke as follows : " Mr. Mayor, Aldermen; and Burg. eases of the bo• rough of Windsor,—l feel most grateful to her Majesty Queen Victoria for having permitted you to present this address to me. I receive it with the most cordial thanks, impressed with the kind reception I have met with from all classes of her Majesty's subjects since my arrival in this country. I was most happy last year to perceive the sentiments of the French people, when her Majesty fa voured: me with a visit at Eu. I was most happy to entertain her Majesty under my own roof on that occe sion, and rejoiced at the interchange of social feelings which then took place. The union of France and Eng land is of great importance to both nations, not from any wish of aggrandisement, however. Our view should be peace, while we leave every other country in the pos session of those blessings which it has pleased Divine Providence to bestow on them. Happy I am that you appreciate my constant endeavours, assisted by a wise Government at home, to promote the most friendly and peaceful relations between the two countries. France has nothing to ask of England, and England has nothing to ask of France, but cordial union. I thank you for this very kind address, and I consider it a privilege that I have had the good fortune to express before you the sentiments with which my heart is filled." The above excellent reply was spoken by his Majesty with marked emphasis and feeling. In alluding to the desirableness of maintaining peace between the two countries, his Majesty spoke with considerable energy and fluency, and, at the close of his remarks, bowed courteously to each of the deputation, all of whom imme diately retired from the royal presence. GRAND NAVAL BALL TO THE OFFICERS OF THE FRENCH SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK, A.M.—This magnificent fete, given by the British officers of the ships in commission at this port, to the officers of the French septadron, is now in its zenith, and a more splendid or exhilirating spectacle than the entertainment, at this moment, was perhaps seldom before witnessed. The place chosen for the ball-room is the spacious quadrangle of the Royal Naval College, which has been formed into a pavilion, beautifully tapestried from the ceiling to the floor with the flags and ensigns of all na tions, amongst which the royal standard of England is naturally most conspicuous. The floor (a boarded one of course) is elegantly carpeted, and the immense area is lighted by three splendid chandeliers suspended from the ceiling, which throw a flood of light on the beautiful and glittering throng below. A large transparency, with medallion likenesses of King Louis Philippe and Queen Victoria, with the French and English crowns, and the initials " L. P. V." wreathed with palm branches, ornaments the extreme end of the ball-room, opposite the grand entrance, mid above the orchestra occupied by Weippert's band. This specimen of art, we understand, was executed by Mr. Martin, of the dockyard, assisted by one of the naval officers, at a moment's notice, entirely from memory, and without the aid of a copy ; and taking this latter circumstance into consideration, it is really a very eralitable performance. Over the grand entrance, in the interior of the ball room, is a radiant sun formed with broad swords, the centre-piece being a shining metal imitation of the orb of day, and along the walls a quantity of musketry and other arms are displayed in a manner similar to that adopted in the guard-chambers of our various royal palaces. There are three orchestras, two fitted up as side galleries, occupied respectively by the Marine band and the band of the 59th Regiment, and the third, at the extreme end, occupied, as we have already stated, by Weippert's celebrated quadrille band. The bands play alternately, and (as every where else) the Polka is still e the space r o tthe known celebr a al s o d the u c n o t v e e r r e r d e - i g w n a s y , in the asc en d ant . B eyon d the b all-room, and occupying lord tvh is t h p e a r s a u m p p o e u r n r a o n m a , here taste has done its utmost to gratify both eye and palate in most lavish profusion, and wines and liquoes of the choicest and most expensive kind flow forth in the richest abundance, whilst beautiful vases, containing the rarest exotic and autumnal flowers, send forth their grateful perfume, gratifying every sense, and leaving hardly a wish unprovided for. This apartment is lighted from gold and silver candelabra. The number of per sons present is variously estimated at 1,150, 1,200, and 1,300, and we believe that the last-mentioned number is not an exaggeration. The company began to arrive about nine o'clock, and were received by a number of officers in full uniform. The entrance-hall and pass age to the ball-room were decorated in a similar manner to that already described, the former being lighted up by a brilliant star of Brunswick. The exterior of the building was handsomely illuminated with myriads of variegated lamps, the impressive word " Welcome" being displayed along the entire front of the college. The orrery was fitted up in the most handsome manner, as a reception-room for the ladies, end the fencing-room was used as a cloak-room, and the library, for the first time, was occupied by card parties. Tho students' dining-room was the only apartment in the building not converted from its usual purpose, it having been devoted to the dispensation of refreshments. The following officers acted as stewards, and were decorated with elegant favours of white satin, orna mented with silver flowers :—Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Rear-Admiral Parker, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Captain Rowley, Commander Lowe, Com mander Crawford, Captain Corry, Captain Mowbray, Commander Matson, Commander Harris, Commander Thompson, Lieutenant Cracroft, Lieutenant Fade, Lieu tenant Ferro, Lieutenant Shere, Commander Shering ham, Lieutenant Chamberlain, Lieutenant Ilynde, Lieutenant Herbert, Mr. Pechell, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Clerk, &c. During the setting down of the company. which lasted from nine until twelve o'clock, the stewards had cer tainly no sinecure, for, faithful as sentinels, there stood Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and a glittering array of colleagues, vieing with each other in polite attention to their guests. Outside the gates of the Dockyard the scene, as regarded the continuous stream of carriages, more resembled St. James's-street on a Drawing-room day than a mere sea-port ball, conceived in a hurry, and carried into effect with only a few days' note of prepara tion. The line of vehicles appeared almost intermin able and here the resemblance to the Court gala ceases, for almost every description of conveyance, from the aristocratic carriage to the humble one-horse fly, ap peared to have been pressed into the service for the occasion. Antiquated stage-coaches, railway omni buses, and obsolete post-chaises, all did duty, the latter with an affected air of former briskness which would have excited even the sympathy of aroad-sideinnkeeper. The floating bridge which plies between Gosport and Portsmouth, and which usually rests from its labours at ten o'clock, was kept going backward and forward during the entire night for the convenience of the t nu meroushe guests who came from Southampton a nd neighbourhood of the New Forest. swell the list of the company ; of bu the so Dock-yard, which ingress through the single g!tt ball-room obliged The last trains from London conttribudteildatnoortya,nlltstlethtoe pass out as well as to cr..rria b es had to let the empty a a ia n t dt p o ar t t h i e es on to quit their Owing to the anxiety of some parties to gain early foot. admit the ones, that proceednumerous adm i ttan ce, and who were thereby induced to attempt to a re likely to afford employment to the coach-wrights of break i n to the rank, several casualties occurred, which the vicinity for some time to come.
