THE GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE QUEEN.

The LORD MAYOR stated to the Court that her Majesty
had been graciously pleased to accept the invitation of the
Corporation to dine in their hall, and had appointed the 9th
of November for her visit. Her Majesty had also been
graciously pleased to assent to the invitation of the Queen
Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family, to the enter-
tainment.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CORNET had seen in a newspaper a statement to the
effect that the present Lord Mayor was the most proper
person to preside on the day on which it was the intention
of her Majesty to honour the citizens of London with her
presence at dinner, although the new Lord Mayor com-
menced his mayoralty, according to long established custom,
on that day. He was surprised to see a paragraph of the
kind in a public journal, and was anxious to know whether
his Lordship knew anything about it ?—(Cries of " Order,
order.")
The Lord Mayor took no notice of the question, but
proceeded to the business of the day at once—the consider-
ation of the matter of the requisition.
Mr. R. L. JONES said that the requisition implied a want
of confidence in the Committee to whom the subject had
been referred.

Mr. TYARS had no idea of the proceedings of the Com-
mittee, but he was informed that they had stultified them-
selves by negativir.g the proposition to accommodate
strangers.

Mr. FLETCHER (the Chairman of the Committee) rose
to state the course adopted by the Committee. They had
immediately, upon hearing that the Queen had accepted the
invitation, proceeded to the performance of their duties,
and ordered that the hall should undergo a complete clean-
sing, seven or eight years having elapsed since an operation
of that kind had been performed, and they directed that
the Remeinbranccr should ascertain the number of the suite
of her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family. They
then determined, after due examination, to make the pre-
parations which had been undertaken at the time of the ex-
pected visit of William IV. and Queen Adelaide as closely
as possible imitated.
Mr. Undersheriff WIRE moved, " That it should be an
instruction to the Committee to erect galleries according to
the terms of the requisition."

Mr. KING seconded the proposition. Nothing, in his
op:nicn, could equal in elegance the appearance of a gallery
filled with fine women.—(Cheers.)
Mr. A NDERTON was convinced that a great deal of in-
convenience would arise from the erection of galleries.
Although most desirous to accommodate the ladies, he could
not litslp taking into consideration the cost of money as well
as of comfort at which that accommodation must be pur-
chased, and he was the more inclined to look at the ques-
tion in that way when he looked to the 24,0001. which the
feast they were called to look upon as a model had inflicted
upon the city.—(No, no.)
Mr. MARRIOTT—It was only 22,0001.

Sir PETER LAUME trusted that no patronage would
spring from the erection. The Corporation were to enter-
tain the Queen, and not to collect together a body of spec-
tators, who might, as the Queen had taken a box at the
theatre, go thither to see her, without having their vision
obstructed, or the hall converted into a booth like Richard-
son's for their accommodation.—(Hear.) He regretted
that her Majesty had been induced to appoint the 9th of
November—that the 18th of next May, her own birth-day,
had not been chose.i.—(Loud cheers.) Amongst other
objections, was in his opinion one of no small importance—
that no persons could sit in the galleries when the hall was
lighted up with gas, without danger to their lives.
Mr. TYARS wished the Court to be consistently extrava-
gant for the dignity of the city.
Mr. PEWTRESS declared that an extraordinary case ought
to be made out before they could consent to interfere with
the labours of the Committee, upon whom the Court ought
not to accumulate difficulties with which they would be un-
able to contend.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. ANDERTON—I wish to ask the Chairman whether
the Committee intend to appropriate any tickets to them-
selves, and whether they meant that the ladies of the
Foreign A mbassadors shall be invited.
Mr. FLETCHER replied that all the members of the
Committee expected to be entitled to was, to have those
places occupied by their friends which they now occupied in
their duties.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. R. L. JONES strongly urged the propriety of acting
upon the plan proposed when the visit of William the
Fourth was expected.
Mr. WILLIAMS said it would be a compliment to the
Queen to surround her with elegant women—an object in
comparison with which the expense would be quite insigni•
ficant.

Mr. WIRE replied with great spirit, but his motion was
lost by a majority of four—the numbers being, for the gal-
leries, 62—against the galleries, 66.—Adjourned.

The Nouvelliste Vaudois says that, according to
accounts from Arenenberg, the physicians of the Duchess
de Saint LQu have lost all hope of saving her. She has
become so feeble that, to take the air, she is obliged to
be carried in an arm-chair to a balcony.

The spirit of animosity evinced by the late Duchess
of St. Alban's towards his Grace's brother, Lord Frederick
Beauclerk, R.N., arose out of his refusal to meet her
wishes in an alliance with her intended heiress, Miss Angela
Burdett.

It is very currently reported that one of the Members
for the western division of Cumberland will probably be in-
duced to resign his seat soon after the meeting of Parlia-
ment, to make way for the brother-in-law of my Lord Low-
ther. We trust the rumour will dictate to the Liberals the
policy of attending to the registration, as we are confidently
assured that a candidate on the Reform interest will offer
himself whenever a vacancy may occur in the representation
of this division of our county.—Whitehaveil Herald.
John Reeve is in a fair way of recovery, and
friends have by no means abandoned the hope of seeing him
early in the season at the Adelphi, as glorious as ever.
We understand that it is the intention of the inha-
bitants of Smithfield and its vicinity to petition Parliament
to abolish or remove that intolerable nuisance, Barele'my
fair, and the annual celebration of which revels is now so
nerr at band.

The following tempting invitation appears upon a
window at a gin palace in the Elysian neighbourhood of
Seven-dials :—" Stop ! stop ! stop ! Here you may get
the regular knock-me-down, sow-me-up, do-me-brown, ask-
me-how, come-it-strong, out-and-out, genuine never-split,
cream of the valley, price twopence the glass, including a
rusk and a dash of carraways.

The celebrated French orientalist, M. Garcin de
Tassy, is at present in London consulting the Hindostanee
manuscripts at the India-house. M. Garcin, whose oriental
researches are well known, has on previous occasions visited
this country.
COAL HOLE TAVERN STRAND.—This old esta-
blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con-
tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night
by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say,
evince the highest gratification from the well conducted and
unrivalled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always
has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of
the choicest quality.
