_of Bank Volntneent, corn-
manded by Captain ElattlSH ; the Governor and
Deputy, and a number of the Diredors.
Mr. Soaric the architect, led the ROYAL PA
TV, with a plan of the Bank in his hand ; Mr.
WINTIIOII. I, the Governor, attended Her !Amu-
rv, in a plain dress; who condescended to support
herself on his arm through the different officer. Übe

eanta-to and Castigator:ea, Sir BROOK WATSON,
Mr. THELLUSION, in a court dress, and Colonel
Man/slim; the Duchess of YORK, by the )hake;
and Princess SOPHIA of Gr.otcts rex, by Bi.Esrusr
Lori°, Esq. the Deputy Governor.
In the Bank Stock Offi.e, the Clerks were all at
their desks, as if in the at of transading business.
Mr. NAWL A.: o, with the most re.peaful attention,
explained the business to the koy AL PA ar v. The
PRINCESSES looked at the dividend-hooks, and wit's
that amiable affability which they possess, asked
several questions, and expressed their approbation.
From thence they passed through the Cousol-offi4e
to the Armoury.
Viscount and Viscountess (7ASTLEREACH, and
the Countess of CaltDIS AN, were the only strangers
who were allowed to be present.
When the Roy• I. Visa rues had finished impeCt-
ing the offices, they were concluded to the Commit-
tee-Room, where there was a sumptuous cold colla-
tion provided, of which they partook.
A similar provisicn was made for the attendants,
in the Diredors parlour.
Soon after four o'clock the ROYAL PARTY left
the Bank : as they passed through the yard, the
Clerks, to the number of 5.37, were assembled, who
gave them three cheers.
The Gentlemen of the Bank who attended were
principally in uniform. There was green baize laid
from the Rotunda to the Armoury. The stock-job-
bers were extremely unwilling to quit the Rotunda,
nor could be prevailed on. until the Grenadiers
were ordered to form and march round ; when,
British Soldier-like, they cleared all before them.
Elegant females had concealed themselves in closets
and nooks to catch a glimpse of the Royal. Vist-
TORS, but they had no better fate then the buair and
Lehr.
The Rov•t. PARTY were then concluded by
Viscount and Viscountess CASTLEREAGH to the
India House, where they were received by the Di-
redors, who had adjourned their Court at one
o'clock, to be in readiness to attend them to the
Bengal Warehouse, to view the muslin,, &c. and
to see the curiosities deposited in the Company's
Library, &c. A cold collation was provided in the
Court-room, of which the ROYAL
:ISotuas par-
took. A Guard of honour, consisting of the flank
companies of the Royal East India ade, were
drawn up at the door in Leadeohall-street, to re-
ceive them.
Abotr six o'clock, Her MAJESTY and the Pars-
cassn left the House with their attendants, highly
pleased with the attention of the Diredors, and the
testimonies of loyalty and affedion they met in their
morning's excursion. The Roe at Paver returned
to the Qors.a's House at half-past six.
The SPTPDISH AMEASSADOR is now waiting the
arrival of a packet at Ilstrwi:h, on h:s way to Gat-
