Lord STEWART'S Grand Military ENTERTAINMEN T,

'TO PRESENT HIS MAJESTY'S PIECE OF PLATE TO
THE 10TH ROYAL HUSSARS.,
This was one of the most magnificent Rtes which has been
given this season; and was intended to commemorate his Ma-
JEST Y'S munificent gift to the regiment, which he had per-
sonally commanded from 1793 to his accession to the Throne,
and which he had graciously deputed Lord STEWART to present
in his name ; and certainly nothing was omitted on tne part of
that Noble Chief to render the occasion as splendid as possible,
and worthy of his MAJESTY'S Royal condescension. His
Royal Highness the Duke of YonN and his Staff, and their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of DENMARK, were
present, with upwards of sixty of the most distinguished Mili-
tary Characters of the empire, as well as the Foreign Ambassa-
ders and his MAJESTY'S Ministers.
After the cloth was removed, and the ices had gone round,
thd Serjeant-Major of the Royal Hussars, assisted by another
Serjeant, entered the room, bearing his Majesty's present,
'whilst a flourish of. trumpets sounded, and a more superb tro-
phy was certainly never seen than his Royal gift, to an old and
favourite corps. The height of this piece of llate is about'two
feet and a half, and it is composed of three figures, represent-
ing Courage, Honour, and Victory. On the three sides are the
King's Arms, surrounded with laurel ; and above them,' on
one of the sides, is the following inscription :--
" The Gift of his Majesty King George IV. to the 10th (or
Prince of Wales's own) Royal Regiment, which he com-
manded from the year 1793, until his accession to the Throne."
On the other side is the badge of the Regiment, with the
words, " Peninsula," " Waterloo," 44 Morales."
And on the third side are the names of the Battles in which
the Regiment was engaged during the late war—" • Bene-
vente,l' " Carmine," " Morales de Toro," " Vittoria,"
" Orthes," " Toulouse," " Waterloo."
The whole is siermounted by a Figure of his Majesty stand-
ing on a fluted column, in imperial costume, with a truncheon
in his right hand., and a wreath of laurel on his head.
When the Seryeant-Nfajor had placed the plate on the table,
Lord Stewart rose and ace:tressed the Officers of the Royal Hus-
sars, who 111 stood up, as allows
" OFFICERS OF THE BOYAL,HUSSARS, •
" It is my duty state to you the commands which have been
laid upon me by our gracious Sovereign and Royal Master.
" His Majesty has commanded me to present to the Corps of
Officers in his name, for their Mess, the splendid piece of plate
which is now before you, in commemoration of the paternal
solicitude and anxious care which the King personally devoted
to the Regiment, froth the year 1703, until his accession to the
Throne.
" His Majesty. further commanded me to convey to you the
expressions of his constant affections and interest, not doubt-
ing you will 'preserve that high reputation which. the Regi-
ment, under his Majesty's especial command, has so pre-emi-
nently obtained. lam aware much more might be said on the
present occasion, but. my feeling is, that I could not add any
thing so strong, as the sentiment of the Sovereign and the me-
rit of the Corps which has cai.Zeei it forth • and I shall only
therefore add a fervent prayer, that this mark of his Majesty's
gracious favour may. descend to the Aildren's children of the
.Regiment, a memorial alike of the interest, affection, and mu-
nificence of the Monarch, and of the conduct, character, and
reputation of the Corps."
This Speech was received with the loudest acclamations, and
his MAJESTY'S health was drunk amidst loud buzzes, the
band playing God save the King and the company standing.
Sonic time afterwards, and just as the Ladies were about to
retire, Lord STEWART rose, and in a very elegant and neat,
address, begged in Lady STEWART'S name, to present the
Royal Hussars with two soup tureens which were then brought
in, intended, as his Lordship said, to commemorate the flatter-
ing distinction conferred upon him by his Majesty', in ap-
pointing him his successor to the Colonelcy of the. Regiment,
and as a tribute of grateful feeling from Lady Stewart for the
kindness and attention she had received from the corps at
Brighton.. The gift was received with loud cheers, and her
Ladyship's health drunk with three times three, and the
loudest applause. His Royal Highness the Dnke of York did
not retire before half-past eleven, and we never saw him in
higher spirits. •

fants Don Carlos and Don Francis Paulo, brothers to the King
of Spain, were deliviered of two Princes, on the 13th and 15th of
last month, at Arranjuez.
THE PARK AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.—The fineness
of the day produced an immense influx at the different gates
about four o'clock. The cavalcade of elegant - equipages
was never excelled. The Prince and Princess of Denmark
were in Hyde Park, but escaped notice,_ being in a private
carriage. Owing to the heat and dust, Kensington Gardens
were much resorted to ; and the Long Walk or Terrace, next
the Serpentine River, was the gay promenade. Here fashion
was exhibited in all its varied costume ; nothing seen except
chequered silks of a garter blue upon a light ground. The
small bonnet is now the mark of gentility, with white or yely
low ostrich feathers.—Names would be needless; for ever-
body of note was there.
