Most Grecians Majesty. Two loog tables were arranged
on either side of the room, with a cross table, together
affording ',ass for one hundred and forty guests, and ex•
libitieg a magnificent display of the choicest plate. The
apartment was suptrbiy illuminated, and when the
guests were mated, the effect was extremely
grand. Behind the chair supported cm either side
by the colours of the regiment, was a tine por-
trait of General Monde, purchased by the officers
of the corps some years since, and bearing the following
ineeription : " General George Mooch, Duke of Albemarle,
the first colonel of the regiment of Coldstream Guards."
Over the fireplace was a magnificent gold cap, presented to
