carriage by his Royal Brother, the Duke of
CLARENCr; and the Earl of M.oaa, arrived at

THLRS, except the Duke of CVIABLILLAhO; wino

TILE DINNER.
The Egyptian Hall was ornamented for dinner
in a style of unexampled splendour. The design at
the upper end consisted of a beautiful arch of
variegated lamps, a royal crown, with the initials
G. R. the motto eS Lae,. may he lire," and a finely
executed anchor, encircled with wreaths of laurel I,
upon a silvered ground beneath, and masonic orna-
ments on each side. At the other end was the
Prince's plume, with the initials G. P. W. within a
beautiful star, and the grand baron of beef, of
mense size, below, upon a pedestal. In one of the
niches was a bust of Lord NELSON, the bead en.
circled with a wreath of laurels. Four tables were
laid out for dinner, beautifully ornamented with
temples, colonnades, naval and military trophies,
with six St. Georges, exquisitely carved and gilt.
At the head of the principal table sat the Lose
MAyOR, with Mrs. Comae, the substitute Lany
MAYORS'S on his right; next to her, His Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES ; and next to burr,
the Duchess of GORDON; next, His Royal High-
ness the Duke of CLARENCE. On the left of the
LORD MAYOR sat the Marchioness WELLESLEY ;
next, the Duke of YORK, and the other Royal
Dukes. The SHERIrrs presided at the side tables.
The dinner was of the most sumptuous de,criptioni
There were three dishes of p-.t fowl at the Prince's
table. The display of plate was greater by 200 co-
vers than was ever seen before at the Alausion
House.

THE RAM..
At ten o'clock, the LADY NIAYORYSS entered the
bat:-room, followed by about ore hundred Ladies,
whose dresses were only surpassed by the beauty et
list fair wearers. When seated in the chair of state,
the fair visitors arranged themselves round hut
Ladyship, and tea was served on massy silver war
era. At eleven, the PAINCY, accompanied by hie
ROYAL B Roy n Lith entered the room, and with their
wonted affability. conversed with the company.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CLAaENCt opened
the ball with Miss Comet, but the crowd mid.: it
impossible for them to p: oceed. The illumination
was most brilliant; nine sumptuous arches, deco-
rated with double festoons of variegated lamps,
were piacid clJwn the room ; one hundred lamps
were suspended over her Ladyship's chair. The
most beautiful Egyptian lamps were placed at
equal disiances ; rows of ruby-coloured lamps
were also suspended, entwined with laurel, which
had a most beautiful effecl. The crowd became so
excessive, every person pressing to see the Prince:,
that it was itnpossilele to move backwards or for-
wards. The Duchess of Goxoow became so
alarmed and oppressed with heat, that Cilnnel
Maxwert and Mr. Dvrat, with much difficulty,
conveyed her Grace to the state Led-chamber,
where, after taking some refreshment, we are happy
to state, she was perfeEtly recovered. She was
dressed in white and silver, and wore a profusion
of diamonds.
At I I o'clock. the range of carriages reached Sr.
Paul's, and many of the company despaired of
reachiag the house last night. So great was the
attraction, that ten guineas were offered for a ticket,
without success.
The splendour of the entertainment was suited to
the magniticence of the company. The Royal
guests expressed the hig'aest approbation of their
entertainment, and the urbanity and p iliteness of
their noble host. Amongst the numerous guests
were—
Revel Highness the Prince of Wales.
Their ft.aral il.glinesscs the Dukes of Truk, Clarence,

EASTER Mo.vnAY.
_____

Yesterday, according to anneal clistom, several
of the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and City Officers,
assembled at the Mansion-house, fer the purpose of
ac:ompanying the Lotto Marna in procession to
Christ's Hospital. At twelve o'clock the Blue-coat
boys arrived at the Royal Eschange, where they
remained until half past one. They then walked
two and two, preceded by the City Marshal, past
the Mansion.litiuse, up Cheapside, round St. Paul's,
and up the Old Bailey, to the Hospital. His Lord-
ship, in his state coach, followed immediately after.
—He was accompanied by Mrs. Comes, lady of
Alderman Co Bs, who was most elegantly
dressed. She wore a blue crape robe, trimmed
with pearls and point lace.
The Lotto Ma vost, being a bachelor, Mrs.
Costae 'was prevailed upon to do the honours of
the day, as the substitute for the LADV ilayortsss,
and a better selection could not possibly be made.
Alderman Cosi rie was in his own c.rriage with his
daughter. Several of the Aldermen and Gentle-
men were accompanied by their Ladies, in lull
dress. The number of speaators in the streets was
considerable. Whets his Lordship's
coach occa-
sionally stopped in the procession, the crowd pressed
round it in great numbers. No accident however
happened.
