BAZAAR AT THE REGENT'S PARK
BARRACKS.
. _ . .

The officers of the Life Genrds caused their ridine-
school in the Regent's barracks to be fitted ap as ablew
for the sale of fancy articles by ladies of distinction, be
benefit of the distressed Irish. The sale commenced resew
day. It having been announced that her Majesty and
Prince Albert would honour the exhibition with their prep
serum, the sides of Albany-street, Regent's Park, were bawd
with spectators, but by tke hour at which the Queen wee
expected the visitors within the barracks were by
no means numerous. The bands of both regiments of
Life Guards and that of the Horse Guards were
stationed on the parade. Shortly after eleven o'clock
the cheers of the crowd without announced the approach of
royalty, and their Royal Highnewea the Duchess of Glou-
cester, the Duke end Duchess of Cambridge, sad—after en
interval of a few minutes—her Majesty and Prince Albert

with their usual attendants, drove' into the rod ; the en-
trance of each being greeted with the national anthem.
Several officers of the corps, with the Marquis of London-
derry at their head, were drawn up at the entrance of the
riding-school, and received the illustrious visitors. The
company was not allowed to enter while the royal party re-
mained in the bazaar, which they did a little more than half
an hoar. On the retirement of her Majesty sad the rest of
the royal family, the lea distinguished Triter IPSO invited
into the riding-school, which they found warsomaisil by stalls
formed in so good an imitation of teats Gotha of the
occasion would allow. The walls were "Mk mall.
Lary trophies, of which the well-knows mew inons
were the most conspicuous. The Indio fhrmie einoblei
of such fancy needle-work, drawings, len, areaniods, tom
de, so generally compose the stock in trade of rzlinseet
Amongetthe ladies who had stalls, and
peeled the elegancies they had isabained, were,
chimer of Londonderry Marldemon of Mash=
(limier of Clanricarde, Visommart Cleriariere,
of Limerick, Counter of Shimen, Osuolso et law
Edgecambe, Counter of Jaw, Cowin et wellene
Countess of Desert, Baroness Used de
Beauvais, Lady Marianne Altard,Dln. Qs=ie
Duchess of Sutherland also lane her an ilinesloam,
clioner of Londonderry. To see stag we exyr=
applied the name of the " Fairy's
Counter,"
as it was by several lovely little beings, to whoa I vow
scarcely an hyperbole to apply such a term.
As the day advanced the visitors became nvasissioadl
the " transactions across the counter' were
large. Indeed it could hardly be otherwise, kg
stoical spectators, once brought within the tereallb In-
fluences which emanated from behind the dab. lluess
purchasers. Indeed, so powerfully were the
influences of beauty, tact, and graceful addreses=
to bear on the visitors, that we noticed a few Of Ile MPS

cannons passing within a few feet of the counters, not
daring to must themselves within the range of a furies-
ties which they felt it would be impossible to resist.
So far am we could learn, however, frost judges of
suck matters, the prices of the articles were far from ex-
travagaat, considering the expensive materials of which so
many at them were made. All tastes and purses were to be
meoremodated, for some things were to be bought even for
armee. Toward+ its close for the day, the bazaar was es-
timably crowded, and for the names of many of the more
arfalmerade visitors we must refer to the Court Circular.
The proceeds must have been very large. Her Majesty
made a point of purchasing something from every stall, sad
the Grand Duke of Russia, who arrived in the afternoon,
was also a liberal enaMmer. The sale will be continued
to-morrow and Saturday.
