We read in a letter from Rome :—" No foreign
representative is so frequently clv in Rome as the
Spanish Ambassador, and consequently the solemn public
receptions which inaugurate the mission of each new
minister arc more frequent at the Palazzo di Spagoa tlmn
elsewhere. There was a ceremony of this kind last night
to celebrate the presentation of credentials effected at the
Vatican in the morning by his Excellency Signor D. Luigi
Giuseppe Sertorius y Tapia, Conte di San Luis, Viacom°
di Priego. All the mimeses to the Piazza di Spagna were
guarded by dragoons, while the piazza itself was filled
with the carriages of foreign and indigenous visitors, who
crowded the saloons of the ambassador in every variety
of costume, diplomatic and ecclesiastical, military and
civilian, while the of pofloi contented themselves with
standing outside to stare at the fine dresses of those who
went in, and listening to the unceasing strains of the
bandsmen stationed in two lofty orchestras opposite the
palace. Such amusements are practicable and enjoyable
in a climate like this, where, under a cloudless sky, and
with the atmosphere of April. the outdoor participators
in the festival have better times than the struggling,
pushing, panting crowds within."
Tits KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER,—Yesterday Sir
C. G. Young, Garter Principal King of Arms. tad his
assistants, were occupied for some time in re-arranging the
anus, banners, and escocheons of the Knights of the Most
Noble Order of the Garter above the stall* within the choir
of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The banner of
his Royal Highness Pnnoe Christian, the husband of Prin-
cess Helena, together with the sword and regalia, were
placed above the seventh stall on the Princes' aide of the
choir. An ormolu plate was affixed to the stall itself,
bearing the following inscription :—" Du tree bent, tree
puissant, et trim excellent Prince Frkderie Christien Charles
Auguste, Due de Schleevig-Holstein, &c. Dispensi des
ceremonies d'installation par lettres patentee detets da
9me jour de Juillet, MDCCCLXVI." Three banners
of deceased Knights, those of the Marquis of Camden,
Marquis of Exeter, and the Marquis of Lansdowne, were
removed from the choir.
