HER MAJLSIT's BIRTH Saturday being the day set apart for the celebrae tion of Her MAJESTY'S Birth-day; who completed her . 61st year on the 19th of May last, the same was ob served with the usual dethonstrations of joy. The morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, and the display of flags on the steeples of the differ ent Churches, the Tower, and other publie.build-- ings ; and the most lively and general expressions of loyalty and attachment were manifested by all ranks. of people to Her MAJESTY. At one.o'clock 61 cannons were discharged in St. James's Park, being es many as Her MAJESTY is years old ;;and 61 cannons were discharged, from the Tower Wharf also. About nine o'clock His MAJESTY arrived- at the Queen's Palace from Kew ; and, as usual upon Their MAJESTIES' Birth-days, the PRINCESSES, the Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND, KENT, SUSSEX. and CAMBRIDGE, breakfaste! with Their MAJESTIES. — After breakfast the Bishops of CHESTER and Exe- TER, and a number of dignified Clergy, waited upon Her MAJESTY to congratulate her on the happy re (urn of the day. Soon after eleven o'clock the Prin cess CHARLOTTE of WALES, attended by Lady DE CLIFFORD, arrived at the Queen's Palace to congra tulate Her MAJESTY. At half past twelve o'clock Her MAJESTY, and the Princesses AUGUSTA, MARY, Soeinalt, and AMELIA, went, in two carriages, from the Queen's Palace to St. James's, followed by the Princess. _HARLOTTE Princess ELIZABETH and the C of WALES another carriage. Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES proceeded to put on their Court dresses, and then partook of some refreshment. Af ter , which, • the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES was conduCted back to her house in Warwick street, and Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES left their private apartments, to proceed to the Grand Council Chamber, to hold a Drawing-room. In.an anti-room, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of Loseow, and several other Bishops, were iii waiting to compliment Her MAJESTY on the happy return of the day, and the Archbishop deliver ed a very suitable oration. As Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES were pro ceeding through the rooms, their attention was ar rested by the Mathematical Boys of Christ's Hos pital, founded by King CHARLES 11. who were pre sented by Sir Joss WILLIAM ANDERSON, Bart. the -President, .attended by JAMES Paesaga, Esq. Trea surer; Mr. Wis.av, Receiver; Mr. Gwyees, Ma thenlatical Master Mr. Wrees, Drawing Master ; end Mr. IiATHAWAY, Steward; when the boys' Drawings were much admired by the Royal Family and the Nobility. Admiral COVEIN was much pleased with the performance of one of the boys, and.ap plied to Mr. GwYeate, their Master, to have the youth under him, when he was sufficiently tutored to leave the school, which Mr. Cr. agreed to.—Four of them leave the school in the month of May, and Six in OCtober, in every year. Notice being given of Her MAJESTY'S approach to the Drawing-room, the centre door was opened.— Her Ma..m..sTY was concluded by the Lord Cham berlain, Her Majesty's Vice-Chamberlain, and on her left hand by Earl MoRToN, her Chamberlain. — Her MAJESTY took her station between the second and third window, leaning her back against a marble slab table. Her MAJESTY'S train was held by the Countess of LIA.RRINGTDN. The PateeEsses arranged themselves on Her MA ' ZtSTY'S left, according to their ages. Their attend ants stood under the throne. As sboad as Her MAJES TY had taken her station the Lord Chamberlain waved his wand of office to - Sir Wm. PARSONS, Who was attending in an anti-chamber on the left of the throne, with His Majesty's Band, to perform the Birth-day Ode, written by J. PYE, Esq. the Poet Laureat, and the Music adapted to it from the works of HANDEL, by Sir Wm. Partecres, at the express Command' of His MAJESTY : the taste and judgment displayed in the selection did him great credit. It commenced with the Overture to Alexander Ball's. The vocal parts from Il Pastor Fido. The Solos were eung by Mr. SALE, jun. and Mr W. KNYVETT, with their usual excellence. Master ROBERTS, of the Chapel Royal, sang a Solo with much •sweetness, but he wanted power of voice to be heard. Mr. • • KNYVETT, senior, presided at the piano-forte. The room - became completely filled in a few minutes after Her MAJESTY entered ; the Ladies experienced tome inconvenience, particularly from their unma mepeable.hoops ; a Lady, whose name we under stood to be ANSON, the Lady of the Colonel, was so fatigued and overcome with heat, that she fainted. His Royal Highness the Duke of . KENT supported her with his arm, and condueted her to the right of the Throne, which was free from the throng. The DUke,of Sussex procured a smelling-bottle, and she was condu&ed to a private apartment by Miss -DASHWOOD, Her MAJESTY'S Maid of Honour.— The RVSSIAN AMBASSADOR was the first who had the honour of congratulating Her MAJESTY, and conversing with her.
