THE KING'S LEVEE.

(FROM THE COURT CIRCULAR.)
At five minutes past one o'clock yesterday his Majesty, accom-
panied by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, arrived at his Palace, St.
James's, escorted by a party of Light Horse.
Arrangements were then made for the King holding an Inves-

titure of the Order of the Bath.
The Knights Grand Crosses and Commanders who were to
receive their badges assembled in the Entre-room.
Garter King of Arms, having received his Majesty's com-
mands, and Bath King of Arms, having called over the names
of the Grand Crosses, the Knights and the Officers of the Order
proceeded to the Throne-room, and were ushered into the Royal
presence. The King appeared in a Field Marshal's uniform,
wearing also the splendid robes of the Order of the Bath, and
stood in front of the Throne. On the right of the King was the
Duke of Cumberland, who carried the Sword of State, the great
Officers of State, and some of the Cabinet Ministers. On the
left of the King were the Dove of Gordon, the Earl of Rosslyn,
the Earl of Ludlow, Lord Lvnedoch, Lord de Saumarez, Lord
Howard of Effingham, Lord Howden, Lord Hill, Sir Thomas
Hislop, Sir James Kempt, Sir. George Nugent, and Sir William
Henry Clinton, Knights Grand Crosses, and wearing the splen-
did mantles and collars of the Order.
The Knights and Officers approached the Sovereign, making
their obeisance, Sir George Nayler, Genealogist, carrying a
crimson velvet cushion, on which were the different ribands and
badges. His Majesty was then graciously pleased severally to
invest Generals Sir Henry G. Grey, Sir Henry Ward, and the
Hon. Sir William Lumley, with the ensigns of a Knight Grand

Cross.
His Majesty then commanded an investiture to take place of
the Knights Commanders recently appointed, having in the first
place invested Major-General Sir James Douglas (who was made
a Knight Commander in the year 1815, but who has since at-
tained the rank of Major-General) with the Star of the Order.
The following Knights Commanders were then severally intro-
duced by Sir George Nayler, and were knighted and invested :
General Sir Samuel Venables Hinde, Rear-A dmiral Sir Graham
Hammond, Bart., Major-General Sir F. C. Ponsonby, Sir James
Bathurst, Sir Henry Worsley, Sir H. Scott, Sir Dugald Gilmour,
Sir John Guise, Sir Robert Scott, Sir John Macdonald, Sir Wil-
liam Machean,Sir Charles Bruce, Sir John Ross, Sir J. F. Fitz-
gerald, and Sirs George Elder, John Buchan, and Hugh Gough,
which last three officers were invested with the ensigns of a
K.C.8., but, being already Knights, were not knighted on this

.
occasion.
Thecereinony of investiture consists in the Knight kneeling on
the right knee, and the King placing the riband round the neck
or over the shoulder (according to their rank), and presenting

them with the badge.
Those who were knighted received that honour with the:sword

of state.

mony concluded.
