GRAND MASQUISRADE
AT TILE KING'S THEATRE.

On Thursday night a grand masquerade, an-
nounced as the last for the present season, was
given at the Opera-house. The arratigeineuts were
ou a liberal and spendid scale ; the pit, being, as
usual entirely boarded over, formed with the stag
a grand saloon. The stage part was enclosed with
scenery representing views of a beautifully diversi-
fied garden and pleasure-ground, ornamented with
bowers, u►ed for the servisig of refreshments; and,
in the centre of the back-g►ound, an orchestra was
raised in the form of a stone veranda, in which
was placed the military baud of hie Royal
iiigb-
nets the Duke of Gloucester; on_ the right of the
pit was erected another orchestra, in which was
placed a theatrical band, which► played, alternately
with the other, waltzes, reels, cipuutry-daucer, jig.,
aod, military airs, throughout the night. Oppmate
to this ou•hestra a temporary flight of steps led
through an opening, caused by the removal of two
of the boxes into the King's Concert Room, where an
excellent quadrille baud was stationed for the service •
of those who were disposed to join in that elegant
trod fashionable dance. The two central boxes to
the mine tier were removed to form the general em-
trance to the Grand Saloon. The lower tiers of
boxes were opened for the reception of the
maskers and dominos, as well as for spectators, of
whom there was a great concourse, coal prising many
elegant and beautiful females. The gallery was
also tilled with spectators nearly the whole of the
night. The lighting of the theatre was to►teful
and magnificent. lii addition to the central char,-
&her, and the hoots habitually ranged round the
boxes, festoons of variegated lamps were elegantly
wreathed slung the front of the two lower tiers;
a splendid transparency cf the rainbow, Unwritten
with the words " Fine in guider a harm.-
fluog its arch over the stage. Over the we-
llies, orchestra was suspended a brilliant star, sur-
mounted with the British Imperial Crown, under it.
the letters G. R. flanked with stars and branches of
laurel, all in variegated lumps; pillars of variegated
lamps supporting the Imperial Crown and Star,
decorated the oilier orchestra, and each of the en-
trances to the grand saloon. In the concert mem
an illnutiu.ited pillar, from which a star was sus-
pended, arose front each side of the indictors, to
support the Imperial Crown and Star, the letter.
G. It. and a wreath of laurel in coloured lamps ;
end three brilliant stars, connected by festoons of
variegated lamps, ornamented the fronts of the
galleries. At tea o'clock the doors opened, ■std
the compsny began to arrive; by twelve above
thousand persons were assembled within the house,
prerenttug a varied mass of groups and characters
of every form and kind. The privilege given to
the purclu•rrs of tickers to send in one character
each, Ho doubt :aided greatly to the number of
dressed characters, but it as certainly tended to de.
tract from the spirit id the entertainment, by the in.
troduction of a ciowd of exceeding dull wearers of
antic shape► and fantastic suits. There was slim, as
usual, air overalrehning proportion of dominos; and
what is far less becoming, or even tolerable on such
an occasion, an exceeding number of per►ons, both
male and female, in their ordinary dresses and
without masks. Of the characters smile were
striking, mid few well supported ; minor% the be•t
which tel within our observation were the fol-
lowing ;
A Dos Felix and Donna Violanlo after marriage, the
former eared of his jealousy, ■nd the spirit of the latter
