SALOON AT GUILD-

As musk pain had been taken yesterday
.in
iimieg this apartment worth of the occenco, the
Miming details may not be found uninteresting :
Os entering the room the penal east was very
striking—the massive candelabra, the finely exe-
cuted groups in silver, the artistic' arrangements of
the cuisine, the varied hose and fragrant perfumes
of exotic flowers judiciously grouped, form toge-
ther an effective tableau reflecting mock credit on
the tarts of Messrs. Staples, who bad been selected
by the corporation to =dentate this portion of the
arrugements. Although having had but eight days
allowed them he preparation, these enterprising
caterers bed fond thee to mature the following
medal emegneents:— The wine gluon made ex-
pos* far the emealoo, were of novel form and cha-
ndler, having twisted stems, and bearing the dia.
dons of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey
elaborately engraved on each. The napkins had the
royal crown of Sardinia in the centre, and a
border of costly lace round the edge. The doyleys
ware of edema velvet, embroidered with appropriate
miasma in raised gold. The dessert service deserves
more them a peeling mention, combining two elabo-
rate design% the rue embodying the flags of the

striking point of view, the plates basing been de-
signed and completed at the oelebrated porcelain

The nick dna vase, nearly three feet high (also
the production of Messrs. Ron, of Colebrook Dale)
was one of the most striking objects on the
table. The beauty of the dodge. the chaste and per-
feet finish of the 'doming, excited general admire-
tion. On on side ere the stems el Reeked, France,
and Sardinia, outdoing the emblems of the Turkish
Empire, and on the other the arms of the City of Lon-
don. The bill of kre, which by a happy thought was
printed in Italian, in compliment to his Majesty, was
in itself a striking feature of the banquet, being printed
