half past 12, the Rolral. PASTY rildreird to the
Concert-room—the Kiss spit cisodieflios the
Princess of W•tes,who was followed by Her Royal
Highness the Princess Sermis. The Concert was
not over until half-past one. Many of the Solos and
Duets su.ig by Madame Bi a ecru and Mr. VA UOM.
AN, were encored by His Manors,; who seemed
pleased with the whole of the performance. Soon
After two the company sat down to supper, and the
ROY AL Fault. v retired at half-past three. Al-
though the dancing did not recommence after sup-
per, it was near six o'clock before the whole of the
company were gone.
The Oratorio finished afxrit ten o'clock, when
the Ball commenced in the Ball-room. The first
dance was led off by the Duke of CAMORIDOT and
the Princess AUGUSTA. The Band of the Stafford-
shire Militia attended in their full uniform, and
played the country dances. The floor was painted
with most fanciful and appropriate devices, by au
eminent Artist, instead of being chalked. The
room was illuminated with three very large silver
chandeliers, eight candles in each ; the silver of
each weighs about 120 lb. They have been repaired
and newly beautified in the most tasteful manner,
by Mr. Gi t BERT. Four elegant silver sconces were
hung round the room.
The attention of the company appeared to be the
most arrested by the novel and grand appearance of
four silver tables, between each window. Two of
which came from Hmover, and have been repaired
and beautified by Mr. Gassa..,, for this occasion.
Udder their centre are the Hanoverian arms, borne
by a horse, and the f:et of the tables represent lion's
paws. The other two tables, one of them was pre-
sented by the Corporation of the City 4 London to
King WI i. Lieu, and the other by the same body,
to Queen Astir. The m;:gnifisence of the effea of
the tables was considerably hi,;htened by four mo.t
elegant pier glasses over each table, with silver
frames, from Hanover, which have likewise been
cleaned and beautified by Mr. Gilt scut r. The etre&
of this brill'ant display of silver, by candle likilit,
is better conceived than can possibly be describ-
ed Ly the pen. This room might justly be called
the silver room, for large and very elegant solid sil-
ver dogs were used in the fire-place for burning
wood, instead of coals, but there was not much oc-
cation for fire, the heat produced by the candles,
and the number of persons present, rendered the
room sufficiently war in.
Cards were played in the following rooms, which
were ornamented as follows :
The I)rawing-room was illuminated with •wo
elegart chani.Lliers, with brilliant and novel 'wares,
sixteen candles each.
The Room adoining the Concert-room, one sil-
ver eha delier, holding eight candles.
The Room adjoining the Ball-room, there; were
two silver chandeliers, the same sire as those in Cie
Ball-room, and of equal weight.
The Throne-room was lighted with two new
chandeliers, and new pattern lustres, with sixteen
candles.
Dancing concluded a few minutes before
o'clock, when supper was announced.

e table at which they supped was elevated
a temporary platfor,n raised About six or eight
inches from the floor, for the purpose of enabling
the Rota I. FAMILY to behold their company with
the greater ease, and to gratify the curiosity of
their guests in beholding them also. Two tables
were laid on each side the room, which held about
slaty teach. The plate on the Royal table was
entirlly gold—the whole service new for the
occest,n, provided by Mr. Cr Nothing
but silver was used at all the other tables:
the whi-le, tegether with all the company being in
new dr-sws, had the most splendid effort possible

most choice delicacies were provided, Nfesses. FlTZ-

to His MILICITY far the excellent pattern set by him
to his subjeas, in not having any forced fruits upon
his tables ; we hope this will operate as a lesson to
our fashionable ladies the ensuing season. The
truits pm the tables consisted of pine apples,
pears, apples of various sorts, and dried fruits. The
beautiful damask table-cloths which covered the
tables, with the Royal arms wove in them, with
very tasteful and elegant borders, attratled the at-
tention of no. st of the female part of the compa-
ny, and the honour done them will be very great.

The Rorar FAMILV retired about half past

till past six.
Her MA I P.STV'S private rooms were illuminated
with beautiful Egyptian lustres.
There were between fire and six hundred silver
branches hung in rations parts of the Castle. At
supper upwArd,. of 250 dozen of silver plates were
used, and a similar number of silver knives and
forks.

The new service of plate furnished by Mr. Gtx-li

such an enormous weight, that three waggons were
obliged to be employed to carry it to Windsor.
Her MaJeca v having found greet inconvenience
from the smell of the oil in the patent lamps on for-

A short t:me since, some labourers employed in
Jigging for flints, on the South Downs, near Clayton
wind-mill, a few miles tio:n Lewes, discovered. lying
nigh to each other, about a foot under the sod, eight j
large Celts, dexterouly chipped. Celts were used •
by the abmigiiial inhabitants. before the use of iron
was known in this Island, both as carpenters tools,
and as weapous of war. These antiques are now
in rise possession of Mr. Weeks, jun. surgeon, at
Hurstperpoint.
The same men, on opening a large prominence
that had the appearance of a barrow, contiguous to
the above spot. also discovered the remains of a
camp kitchen. evidently designed for the porpo.es
of cookery, as it contained several fire-places, a
large quantity of wood ashes, and many bones of
different animals of food. This circular pile of
stones was at least ix feet in height, originally,
but having by time fallen into the sod, it at
length became completely covered. In the centre
if the excavation that remained. was found a small
vend of unbaked earth, curiously dissected all
male for the admission of air, and supposed to
bombs= used for the purpose of burning incense.
- TM above pile ofstones has been entirely removed;
but stove are two ethers adjuent, that have not
yet been explored. What adds to the supposition
of their being camp-kitchens is, their vicinity to an
old Roman Eamp, on \Volsenbttry Hill. where, on
digging lately, were found, three cuins of the Em-
peror Constantine. which are in excellent preserva-
tion, and in the possession of the above gentleman.

first muster since winter, and particularly as this is
the first appearance of their new raised Rifle Corn-

It appeared the prismaers were Irishmen, and

The constables who apprehended anal searched

seven puunds in bad ,hillings, on their per.ons, be-
sides good silver and gold to the amount of
forty and fifty pounds.
