TNBATRE POYAI, WAYMAPTAT.
Last right, for the first time these sixteen
years, the very favourite and beautiful tragedy of
Fe rrileal, was performed at this Theatre, for
the ben. 6t of Miss NESBIT, under the patronage of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Yoag. The house
was numerously and fashionably attended, and
the several tharaCters were well filled. Mrs. HA..
I,'LTON, of whom we gave a% account.' last
Vas .0, was an interesting portrait of t'ne
amiable and spirited Arm/lona ; and, through tie
whole of her per,Ormance, received the most un-
trundcd applause. In the Afterpiece of Catharzno
asd Parkciio, she sustained the charafter of the
.Thres with uncommon spirit and animation, and
was well seconded if her Petratekto, by Mr. TwoNlT-
sow. The Grupprie of Mr. DAPNLGY. was highly
diverlitig. The E iter tainutents throughout received
every mark of decided approbation.

DINNER.
The Egyptian Hall. wherein the grand banquet
was held, was decorated in a superb manner. The
tables were ornamented with a profusion of costly
devices, the ground-isork of ralitzh was en pur-
ierre. On the right of his Lirdsli;p were various
Naval and Military Trophies. On the left were Em-
blems of Commerce, conveying the produce of
Britain to the four quarters et the Globe. In
the centre, two large splendid Temples, orna-
mented in gold, with artificial fl swers. &c. had a
good eir.a. At the epper mtvd of the Egyptian Hall
there was a beautiful Crown, in gilt lamps. with
G. R. and motto. " Long may he live!" two br:l-
- Snug, City Arms, and other devices. The 16
large stone pillars were surrounded by lights. In the
Salon., was a beautiful Crowe, ii gold lamp, the
pillars entwined with flowers. Idle Ball (form was
hung with immense festoons of double lights, and
there were also nine large splendid Arches, in varie-
gated lamps.
The 'nominations were on a very superb scale ;
the pillars were entwined with small variegated
lamps and oak leaves. with a Crown in the centre ;
at the bottom of the Egyptian Hall, the Prince's
plume, in small lamps, with a star within a crescent,
had a very good effea. The tables. as usual, dis-
played military and naval trophies. The dinner
combined plenty and elegance ; sixty dishes of fish,
eight dishes of pea-fowl, and twelve of Guinea-
fool, graced the festive board ; nor was the noble
Baron of Beef forgotten. a finer one was never pro-
duced on a similar occasion. The ducrt consisted
of the finest fruits and sweetmeats. under the direc-
tion of Messrs. Hoffman. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge sat the Lord Mayor's right
hand ; and below His Royal Highness, the new Mi.
nisters, Lords Hawkesbery and Castlereagh, and Mr.
Canning ; on the left hand cat the Lady Mayor en
and a number of Ladies. After the usual Toasts
were drank, his Lordship gave " The Health of His
illustrious Guest, the Duke of Cambridge;" and, in
a very handsome speech, re'urned IN Royal High-
ness thanks (or the honour of his company. His
Lordship then gave " The Health of General
Bennigsen ;" also that of the Emperor of Rus-
sia, aid Alderman Shaw and the Volunteers.
At nine o'clock the Grand Saloon, leading to the
aupper-enows, was erampteterty fitted with compioy.
Under the Clonnade 'as plac'ed a Grand Military
Band, which played, at intervals, the most favourite
airs The Ladies r: ere elegantly dressed in white
sprigged muslin, trimmed with deep Brussels lace ;
several wore silver spotted muslin, nith full sleeves ;
silver nets were universal ; diamond alrettre were
mucit worn. The Lady Maycresswasdressed in white
Irvin, trimmed with silver. Those ladies that join.
ed the different dancing parties, were principally
dressed in frocks, very short, with pink stockings.
which displayed the nice-turned ankle to perfection.
At ten o'clock the ball-room was thrown open, and
was immediately filled. By eleven o'clock every
apartment was crowded to such an execs.. that the
staircase became the only refuge of the company ;
hut even that resting place was not long slowed
them ; for the servants, endeavouring to pass back-
wards and forwards, caused such confusion, that
many ladies and gentlemen were thrown down.
and a scene displayed. that could be on.y equalled
at Greenwich Hill. The ball was opened by His
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. and Miss
Wilma, daughter of Mr. Wilson. of Lincoltes-inn•
fields. NI. P. for Ipswich. Lord Castlereagh, Mr.
Canning, and Mr. Rase, retired from the festive

lowing is extracted from a letter received frtm as
officer of Lord Cott.tvoicooo's Meet, dated Fe-
bruary 13 : —" The I!.ips its C.sdiz sometimes skew
a disposition to corn? out; hut no contidroce can
be placed upon their movements ; they bead their
sails, and ran down their harbour, and then retire
again. Their force consists of—l three-decker, II
