Yesterday his Majesty held his second Levee this season,
at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was more numerously
attended than the first, there being about one hundred

with the band of the King's Guard, during the time of
the holding of the Court and Levee. Sir Richard Birnie,
the Chief Magistrate of the Police, was, as usual, in at-
tendance, with Townsend, Sayer, and a numerous assem-

attendants were similar to those of the first Levee. The
honourable Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners lined the
Octagon Hall, with the Earl of Courtown, their Captain,
