after the Lords, through the same door at which he

had entered. The Com Mons. with the SPSAR ea at
their head, fAlowed the Lords, and after them t: le
M tnagers.
The Peeresses, with their daughters, retired two
and two, trough the House of Lords, from which
they entered their carriages. The carriages begun '

procured. The populace • mustered ten timer
sum:ger than in the nwri,ing ; but the constables
and guards succeeded in preserving the unie order
and regularity. A temporary confeaiorer's shop was
'rated within the Hall, at the foot of the stairs .
leading to the Court of Exchequer. which afforded
a seasonable supply to those whosisd not come pro-
vided for so long a sitting.
Westminster. Hall never before pre •ued so
grand, beautiful, and piauresque a display.—
Almost every woman of rank and faihion in town
was present, and from the cli,position of the light,
and the formation of the place, their charms shone
1 to great advantage. nrither the Opera House, nor
any other rtOlic speflacle in town, is so favourable
for the display of female beauty.

The presence of such a splendid group* of ek-
gantes, afforded us an opportunity of observing ••
what was most generally worn, and most fashionable
for half-dress : the ladies wore turbans with veils,
or veils with flowers or tiaras in front ; and
lace cans ornamented with flowers, coloured ale
caps, with lace and tracers of the same colour, ned
those composed en;i:ely of a fi•ha, had a vcry aim-

ple and elegant appearance ; white satin tippets edged
round with swansdown, and twilled silk scarves,
trimmed with plush, with bronze and gold tassels at
the corners ; the spencer Espeznale, in white avid co-
lours; pelisses, mantle', &c. White dresses were
universal, scarcely aar coloured were visible; the
ridicule seemed more indispeitsibie than ever, as it
was converted into an armoire, a3d appealed to con-
tain Sandwiches, Scc. as well as the little at ceteres
for which it was invented.
