the •flotir of the Izall. OVer 'the centre is a canopy
extending in front. it is a single table, reach-
ing nearly the •Widtti awl length of the htistings.
Oa each side of the canopy are three large tuirrtns,
which Wrill reflect the whole of tiie cOMpitny, Three
beantiTitt lustres of eut,glass
,arc suspended from
the lofty ceiling, the centre one of which is, with'-
,out exception, the most elegant and sumptuOns that
has been exibited to pubfie view. The'Eas(
dOw is decorated with a transparency of the King's
Arms, 'finely illeiminated. The monoments of
Lord CHATHAM, and that of his son WM. PITT,
on the opposite side, are kft entirely open for the
contemplation of the Illustrious Visitor's. The floor
of the Flail is filled, but nbt crowded as on ordi-
nary occasions,
,with dinner tables, and on.each
side a gallery is raised, and the pillars which sup-
port it form large recesses for tables. The gallery
is nearly.2o feet in depth, so as to contain four
seats, and, where the windows admit, a fifth, and
extends on both sides of the Flail to the West
window, where it is enlarged, so as to afford.
eight scats. Below the gallery, and next to the
two monuments, are two boxes, facing cad's' other,
and extending with circular fronts, designed for
the singers. A music gallery is raised over the
elocl, which is hid f rom view. The two giants
are newly painted, and little more of them than
their busts, hands, and staves appear. Front the
noble gallery already described, folding doors are
opened over t!:e kitchen and over the Comptra•
kr's house, for every aecomn;odation. This gal.
lery is to be appropriated solely to the Latlis.—
The whole of the walls and galleries are covered
with cloth of crimson; plaited idfolds, and form-
ing a circular drapery over
,each of the recesses.
Lustres are pendent from all pat ts, intermingled
with banners of the arms of companies and of
opulent citizens.. The rise of a few of the steps
to the King's Bench Court leads to a splendid
room, also lined with crimson cloth, and a volant
figure of Fame, in transparency, heating an
olive branch encircling her trumpet.
• The streets will be lined by regulars, militia,
and volunteers, both at the \Vest and East Ends.
