Yesterday being the birth-day of his Majesty, the town
presented a very festive appearance, and at night a very ge-
neral illumination took place. A pressure of matter precludes
us from giving a detailed list of the illuminations at the houses
of his Majesty's tradesmen and other loyal inhabitants of the
metropolis. We subjoin an account of the appearance of the
club-houses and theatres :
Alliance Club—" W. R.," the crown, brilliant star, wreaths
of laurel, tastefully displayed in variegated coloured lamps.
The Guards Club-house—was conspicuous for a very beau-
tiful display of gas illumination, comprising the emblematical

wreath.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE JUDGES AT
FISHMONGERS' HALL.--On Sunday (that being the first Sun-
day in Trinity Terra), the Sheriffs gave a most splendid en-
tertainment, at Fishmongers' Hall, to the Judges, Aldermen,
and a distinguished party, amongst whom were the Duke of
Richmond, Lord Abinger; Justices Parke, Vaughan, Patti-
son, and Coltman ; Barons Park, Bolland, and Alderson ;
Lord G. Lennox, Lord Marcus Hill, Hon. F. Maule, M. P.,
lion. Captain De Roos, lion. C. Gore ; Aldermen Sir C. S.
Hunter, Bart., M. Wood, M. P., Thompson, M. P., Sir W.

Law, Captain I)undas, M.P. ; Joseph Hume, Esq., M. P. ;
R. Stewart, Esq., M.P. ; W. Crawford, Esq., M.P. ; Sir
Felix Booth, Bart. ; Sir J. Macadam; J. Bagshaw, Esq.,
M. P. ; Admiral Ross ; G. Anson, Esq. ; H. Tuffncll ; Mon-
tague Parker, Esq., M. P. ; E. W. Pendarves, Esq., M.P. ;
R. Buttrel, Esq. ; R. Palmer, Esq., Sheriff of Sussex ; Da-
vid Salomans, Esq. ; M. Lafayette : J. Blackburn, Esq. ;
Capper, Esq., of the Home Office ; and about GO other
gentlemen. The dinner, which was provided by Birch, was
one of the most sumptuous ever given in this magnificent
building. There were not, as this day was Sunday, any
toasts given, but there was not the less wine drunk on that
account. From nine o'clock in the evening till half-past ten
crowds were assembled opposite the Hall and cracked many a
joke upon the poor chance Sir Andrew Agnew could have
after such a practical comment as this hospitable entertainment
presented of passing his favourite measure in the present
Session. The multitudes who flocked from the steam-vessels
which came in from Gravesend and other places on the river
hailed the entertainment giver; in the Hall as the harbinger of
the continuance of their Sunday recreations.
NEW STRAND TIIEATRE.—Last night a burletta,
called Bachelors' Buttons, was played for the first time. It is
constructed of very slight materials, but they are put together
with considerable skill, and answer their purpose of affording
Mrs. Stirling an opportunity of exhibiting her very versatile
powers. Flavin, understood that a suitor is about to visit her,
who is recommended by the firm from which her father has re-
tired, she reasons with herself that before she consents to be-
come a sleeping partner, she ought to acquaint herself with the
character of the gentleman with whom she is to unite. With
this view she contrives to get her father out of the way, makes
his man servant play the part of the master of the house, and
thus receive her lover, who is not a little amazed by the vulga-
rity of his supposed guest's conduct, while Mrs. Stirling her-
self, first as a romping school girl, secondly as a jockey, and
thirdly as a chattering maid-of-all-work, does her best to in-
crease his embarrassment. He is at last about to leave in dis-
gust with the whole family, when papa returns, and the trickery
explodes. Mrs. Stirling was a most spirited sportsman, and
exhibited amusing naivete as the romp. The announcement
of the piece for repetition was received with approbation.
Early in the morning of Thursday last no fewer than
eight sheep were stolen from the neighbourhood of Ilford.
Four were taken from the field of Mr. Maxwell, of Ilford, and
appear to have been carried away in a cart, which then pro-
ceeded to Plaistow Marshes, where four others were stolen;
but it seems the thieves had taken more than they could con-
ceal at the bottom of the cart, a, one of Mr. Maxwell's sheep
