At about half-past eight o'clock grace was said, and then
the Crier, according to good old custom, announced that the
Lord Ma) or drank " A hearty welcome in a loving cup" to all
ro)al aed dis'inguished guests, who were enumerated in
classes, according to their styles and degrees. This an-
nouncement was received with loud cheering, and the "cup"
went round the table and was highly relished, as well as
the good old chitalrous formalities with which its contents
are received.
Before the toast of the Queen, " Non nobis Domine"
was sung by the vocal performers, namely :—Miss Birch,
Mr. Juliey, Mrs. Byers, Mr. Turner, Miss Byers, Mr. For-
ster, Miss E. Byers, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Atkins, Mr. Willing,
Mr. Ransford, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Green, Master Ball, Master
Such, and chorus.

The LORD MAYOR then roso and said, that as no obser-
vations of his could add interest to the toast he was now
about to propose, he should simply give " The Queen."
A loud burst of cheering, the most powerful in body and
tone we hare heard for many a long day, followed this an-
nouncement. The cheering after tho toast was drank was
but a protracted continuation of the former outburst ; and
amidst this universal enthusiasm the band struck up " God
save the Queen." The national anthem was then admira-
bly sung by the vocal performers in the gallery ovtr the
south door.

The LORD Mayon then gave the next toast—" The Queen
Dowager.”—Three -times three.
Glee.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The health of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex, and the other members of the
Royal Family."—( Loud and continued cheering.)
The Duke of SUSSEX rose to return thanks, and was re-
ceived with an enthusiastic round of cheering. Owing to
the distance at which we sat from the chief table, and the vast
size of the hall, the opening observations of his Royal High-
ness's speech did not reach us. This remark applies also to
all the subsequent speakers, which we regret to say were al-
most inaudible beyond the chief table, where they were gene-
rally spok, n. His Royal Highness, after expressing his thanks
for the manner in which this toast had been proposed and re-
sponded to, said that he could not let this opportunity pass
without expressing the gratification and pride which he felt at
the manner in which the City of London had this day re.
ceived the distinguished individuals who had come together
from all parts of the world to bear testimony of the affection
and regard which their Royal masters bore to her Majesty the
Queen. He had seen many brilliant scenes in this hall.
The last occurrence of the kind was a highly gratifying
one—( Cheers)—and did honour not only to the City, but to
the country at large.—( Loud cheers.) But he would look
back to a much earlier period—namely, to the year 1814,
when the Sovereigns and Princes of the different Empires of
Europe; came with one accord together, united in rejoicing at
the close of a protracted war, and the restoration of a general
peace. From the bottom of his heart he united most cor-
dially in the compliment which was now being offered to the
Illustrious Representatives of those Potentates, because he
felt and knew that peace and goodwill were still the objects
which they all had in view.—(Cheering,.) Twenty-four
years had that state of peace, and of consequent happiness and
prosperity continued—many, many happy years might it yet hold
its reign amongst us. There were so many distinguished States_it was
from all parts of Europe about him to-day, that was
very possible they might not all agree with him or amongst
themselves upon some matters of opinion ; but in this common
object they were all united, namely, in paying respect and
homage to the distinguished Lady who held the sovereign sway
of there realms.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) He congratulated
the country that the distinguished Foreigners who greeted
the present happy occasion with their presence had had
during their short sojourn in this country, ample means of
seeing that the people of this country had loyalty in their
hearts and freedom in their breasts.—( Loud cheers.) He
was gratified that: those distinguished personages should
see how they conducted affairs in this country. They would
see that in England every man showed respect and honour
with willingness where it was due. They were allseuchajueseetsh_e
he was a fellow-subject with them all—and ready at all times
to give allegiance to his Sovereign cheerfully, b
knew that in so doing he and all of thorn secured their
independence and honour.—(Cheers.) Under the secure
protection of a good Government, every man, whether high
or low, should put his shoulder to the wheel, whenever occa-
sion might arise for his services, and assist in all things the
executive in the discharge of its duties. It was then that they
would prove themselves free, and make themselves respected
by all surrounding nation. His Royal Highness again returned
thanks for the manner in which the toast had been drunk, and
resumed his seat amidst renewed and hearty cheering.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " the Army and Navy"—..
(Three times three).
" Rule Britannia "

Lord Him, returned thanks on behalf of the army; and
expressed his gratitude to the City of London for having
united within its ualls so many illustii( us personages, sho
Lai perfcrrned such distinguished services for their respective
S ;yen

Sir P. DunnAm then rose and said---My Lord, as senior
naval officer pr,-sent, I rise to express. on belt; If of my bro-
ther officers and myself, our grateful acknowleegments for the
honour which has been conferred upon the service to which I
Lave the honour to belong. We cannot but feel most truly
grE,tifi:d by the manner in which that toast has been received
by the illustriou3 F.tatosmen and distinguLdied warriors now
a:sembl,-d in the hall of your ancient city, rod lAbo have
added so much I-;y their presence to the brilliancy of our most
gracious Queen's coronation. I trust that their visit
.to this
country may be the means of more firiLly e:ittblislnng the

peace of Europe, extending commerce, and ensurinc, the ge-
neral welfare. I cannot resume my seat, my Lord, without
once more expressing to you the high sense my brother offi-
cers and myself entertain of the distinguished honour you
have this day conferred upon us.
The LORD MAYOR then gave—" The Sovereigns and
States whose Representatives have honoured the City with
their presence this day."—(Three times three, and cheers.)
Prince ESTERMA ZY returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The health of the Foreign
Princes who have honoured the City with their presence this
day."—(Three times three.)
The Duke de NEMOURS returned thanks, and was received
with loud cheering.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Foreign Ambassadors
and Ministers."—(Three times three.) Glee—

Victoria ! Victoria I Victoria!
Be fame to the heroes awarded,
Each name is in glory recorded ;
May commerce ii.crease;
Our banner be Peace;
And nation with nation united ;
•
For terror and toils thus requited;
Victoria ! a blessing on earth be Victoria!

We could not ascertain who returned thanks for this toast.

The Duke of SUSSEX then proposed " the Right Honour-
able the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and Common Council of
the City of London."—(Loud cheering.)
The LORD MAYOR reterned thanks ; and then gave the next
toast, namely, " Her Majesty's Ministers," which was received
with marked cheering from all parts of the hall.
Viscount MELBOURNE said he conceived he should best con-
sult the convenience of those assembled on the present occa-
sion by briefly returning the sincere thanks of himself
and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers for the honour which
had been just done them. With respect also to the quarter
' whence it emanated, and the place where it was drunk, he
should also be equally brief, for he had had in the course
of his life so many occasions of witnessing and bearing
testimony to the intelligence, the hospitality, and the
generous feelings of the citizens of London, that it would
be almost superfluous for him to dilate on that point at
present. He must be permitted, however, to say that be
was glad to see that the illustrious individuals who had been
deputed by their royal masters the great potentates of Europe
to pay homage to the Queen on the occasion of her corona-
tion had been this day received in a manner altogether worthy
of this great city.—(Cheers.) He confidently trusted that the
good feeling which now existed between this country and all
those States was a guarantee that unanimity, peace and con-
cord would long, very long, reign amongst us—ay, to a period
very far remote from the present day ; a happy state of things,
which could not but strengthen the prosperity and promote the
welfare of the whole civilised world. —( Loud cheers.)
The next toast proposed was " Field Marshal the Duke of
Wellington, and Marshal Soult, Duke of .Dalmatia."—(Tre-
mendous cheers; in the midst of which a great portion of the
company stood on the chairs to catch a glimpse of the two
warriors, who had risen in acknowledgment of the compliment.)
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he entertained a high sense
of the honour of being associated with so illustrious an indi-
vilual as him whose name had been given in company with his
own ou the present occasion. He was glad to find that the
merits and services of that illustrious stranger who was now
amongst them bad been properly appreciated by the people of
this country.—( Cheers.) And he had no deubt that the illus-
trious guest of the Corporation must fully appreciate the cor-
dial feelings which had been manifested towards him, not only
en the present occasion, but on every oth: r occasion when he
had presented himself to the public. He (the Duke of Wee
lington) was delighted that the King of the French hal cho
sen so distinguished an individual to represent him on the oc-
casion of the coronation of their illustrious Sovereign. The
conclusion of the Noble Duke's observations were completely
drowned with cheers. The Duke of Dalmatia, who sat about
te else seats away from his Grace, seemed to pay great atten-
tion to what fell from Urn, with the assi:t ince apparently of a
gentleman who stood by him, and interpreted what the Noltle
Duke said.
The Duke of DALMATIA then proceede I, amids: reiterated
cheers, to address the company in the Fiends language. He
spoke with great feeling, but not with a powerful voice, He
commenced by observing that the expressions used by the
Duke of Wellington had entered into his very heart. Never
had there lived nobler-minded, a braver, or a more honourable
man than that illustrious general.—( Cheers.) The French
nation h d learned to appreciate the worth of the English
army ; its talus was known and appreciated all over Europe.
Now, however, they had no further resort to arms. Between
France and England there should now exist a perpetual al-
liance-41'11e illustrious Duke laid an emphasis upon the
words " alliance perpetuelle," which brought down a thunder
ofapplause.l Unanimity should now pervade their councils.
Ali er some few further observations, the Noble Duke, alluding,
as we imagined, to tl.e hospitality with which he was at that
moment treated in company with the Duke of Wellington, said
that he hoped yet one of these da}s to take his revenge
(revanche) of the Noble Duke in France. The illustrious
and Gallant Duke sat down, after drinking " The health of
the British Army, and more particularly of its great General,
the Duke of Wellington."—(Thunders of applause.)
The Duke of WELLINGTON returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Lord Chancellor and
the Peers of England."
The LORD CHANCELLOR returned thanks, and observed
that in the splendid hospitalities with which they had thet day
been entertained he saw an evidence that the science, the
arts, and the commerce of the City of London were making
rapid advances. The illustrious foreigners who honoured
them that day with their company must, he felt sure, return
highly gratified with al! that they had witnessed.
The following toasts were then succesevely given :
" The Lord Archbishop of Cantcrbury and the B'shops ;"
" The Sp: aker of the House of Commons and the Commons
of England;" "Prosperity to the City of London and the
trade t hereof. "
The Duke of RICHMOND then proposed a bumper toast to
the health of the Lady Mayoress.—(Cheer!.) He was a
married man himself, and he knew the happiness which at-
tended the marriage state, and he believed that the Lord
Mayor bad fully equal grounds with himself to congratulate
himself upon the value of a good wife.—( Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with all the honours, and briefly ac-
knowledged by the Lord Mayor. After which, at about
eleven o'clock, the company departed.

THE FETE AT CAMBRIDGE HOUSE

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge gave a state ball last
evening at Cambridge [louse, Piccadilly.
'The suite of state rooms on the first floor were all opened
on the occasion, and were fitted with the utmost elegance
and taste. On the south side of the mansion are three rooms,
opening ensuite—the yellow drawing room, and the
east and
west drawing-rooms. The first of these apartmtn!s is hung
with yell )w damask and gold, and the furniture is of the same
colour. In the middle of the room, between candelabra, was
a very large china vase, havirg in the centre a
portrait,
highly finished, of his M tjesty the King of Prussia, and on
the opposite side a painting of the Royal Arms of Prussia,
with the crest on eitfer side. The vase stood on a a warble
table supported by gilt composite pilasters. The yellow draw-
ing room separates the east and west drawing-rooms, the dra-
panedgso,ldso.fas, and furniture of which arc of rich crimson satin

Mary of Cambridge, and som fine pictures, including one, the
subject of which is a " Greek Wedding." The gold. cup

pre-
sented by his late Majesty to the Duchess of Cambridge, was
ornamented, and has cngraven on it the cipher of. her.
Highness, surmounted by a Coronet, and also the initials of the
late King, encircled by the Garter, and surmounted by the
Crown ; round this cup were several beautiful albums. a
corner of this room was a marble bust of the Landgrave. Fre-
derick of Hesse Cassel (brother of the Duchess of Cambridge)
finely chased_ and
on a marble pedestal, highly polished, and on the opposite
corner was a china vase, painted with flowers. Close to the
windows was an elegant writing table, behind which was
placed a beautiful Gothic screen, having the arms of Great
Britain, Hanover, and Hesse Cassel executed in painted glass,
while opposite to it, rising from the back of the table was an
assemblage of the choicest flowers or plants, among which were
inserted a collection of cabinet pictures and miniatures, one of
the Landgrave Frederick being among them. The flowers
formed a complete garland or border round the pictures.
Two large cabinets in this room, of white and gold, were
filled with paintings on porcelain and articles of vertu, and
the tables exhibited collections of medals and miniatures, in-
eluding those of his late Majesty in his coronation robes f
the
Duke of Wellington, and of Prince Frederick William of
Hesse Cassel, brother of the Duchess, and a great variety of
choice and interesting works of art in gold and silver. -
The east drawing room contains a very fine picture of " St.
Cecilia," and a choice collection of pictures by German artists;
here also etas placed on a pedestal a marble bust of the late
Duke of Kent. In addition to the magnificent pier glasses
which this room has, in common with the west drawing room,
large mirrors occupied each side of the apartment:' Gold
candelabra, with wax lights, were placed before the piers. The
ball room, which is on the north side of the mansion, is entered
by the east drawing room. A temporary orchestra was erected
for the quadrille band, and fronting the orchestra, at the other
end of the room, was the platform for the royal family, with
seats of crimson satin and gold. From the middle of the ceil-
ing was suspended a splendid chandelier of the largest size
and of great brilliancy, with smaller chandeliers on each
side
Branches and side lights were displayed in the greatest
per.
fusion, so that the illumination of this apartment was per.
