THE POLISH REFUGEES.

colresterday the Committee appointed by the Court of
lemon Council to make arrangements for the grand ball
be given at the Guildhall for the relief of the distressed
doles assembled, Deputy Peacock in the Chair.
The business commenced with a spirit worthy of the un-
uertaking, and ominous of its great success. It will be re-
"llected that the proposition of Mr. Deputy Peacock in
the Court of Common Council was received with unanimous
4PPr)ukatiml ; and it was determined that the Hall should,
on the
a.e Occasion, appear in all its " Royal state."
.We have
reason to believe that the preparations for the enter-
h4olent of her Majesty considerably exceed in magnificence
at were at first contemplated, and that the grandeur of
fe scene in which the Prince Regent and the Sovereigns
"'fled the principal sources of attraction will be far ex-
:e.ded by the splendour of the approaching honour to the
itt2ens of London in their ancient Hall. The application
rof Lord Dudley Stuart for the use of the Guildhall for the
ice of the Poles, soon after her Majesty expressed her
tenticn to dine with her citizens of London, was what
i 41,44 be expected from that benevolent friend of those
4timants upon the public sympathy, and it was responded
o With kindred feeling by the whole Corporation.
The following resolution to which the Committee came

0f the Queen's entertainment in all its grandeur :
