Duke of CAMBRIDGE. •

Tits MAJESTY'S DRAWING Room.---The pre-
parations for this splendid scene, which took.place this day, are
in the usual grand and magnificent style. The usual regula-
tions for the approach of coMpany, have been posted, and in
order to insure regularity, strong parties of the dismounted
police were placed in St. James's-street, on the Mall, and
various stations in St. James's Park; also through St. James's-
street, Pall-mall, and Piccadilly: The guards have been
doubled, and the Ktsre's guards, to which an additional num-
ber of men have been added, were selected from the Cold-
stream, and were stationed in the Palace, where his MA-
JESTY slept last night. The usual Patrols of Honour were
formed from the Life Guards, those men, dressed in
their new uniforms and splendid cuirasses, gave to the ani-
mated scene an air of great and martial grandeur. • The Parks
have been, throughout the day, thronged with elegantly dressed
company, and many who were so fortunate as to procure
tickets of admission to the anti-rooms, were all the morning
busily thronging to their places. The Yeomen of the Guard
line the principal staircases,' in full Court uniforms, and the
anti-chambers and saldons have been occupied by the Pages in,
Waiting. The company commenced arriving rapidly at half-
past twelve o'clock, and at that hour the line of carriages ex-
tended a very considerable distance : only those entitled to the
pi ivilege of entre passed through the Park.
Janiees, Tiro o'Clock.—The magnificent suite of Rooms
occupied on this occasion by his MAJEsft and the Court:
were thrown open, and the Ladies and Gentlemen who had
obtained tickets allowed the pleasure of inspecting the whole.
—The grand entrances to the Palace were oecupied by the Veo-
Men of the Guard, in full uniform, and they lined the avenues
to the stations of his Majesty's Pages of Honour, who
conducted the company to the Lords in Waiting, by
whom the presentations took place. His .MAJxsT v was
graciously pleased to appoint the hour of two o'clock for hold-
ing the Drawing-room, but previous to that hour the arrival
of company was very general. We have only been enabled,
from our limits, to give but a slight description of the arrange-
ments of the interior.—The usual King's guard on this occa-
sion was doubled, and the Band of the Coldstrearns, in their
new and splendid dresses, occupied one of the Court-yards,
and enlivened the company by performing
,some delightful airs.
The Guard of H.onour was commanded by Col. 11'001)1.01w.

of every luxury of the season, took place at two ; the confec-

GRAND DINNER AND 13ALT. AT THE MANSION-

HOUSE.
Yesterday the Grand Entertainments, which
were postponed at Easter on account of the dilapidated condi-
tion of the Egyptian Hall, were given by the LORD MAYOR.
Although great disappointment was felt at the usual period of fes-
tivity, consequence of the postponement, by those who make
gaudy preparations for the evening display, the respect-
able citizens had no reason to complain of the delay. It was
generally known that the ball tickets were to be limited to less
than one half of the usual number, so that the bustle and con-
fusion which have prevailed at civic banquets, almost without
abatement, up to the present year, Were strangers to this, one
of the most important in the catalogue of metropolitan feasting.
The Egyptian Ball, which has been long complained of as a
place disfigured by neglect, and which, at last, came under the
hands of a spirited Committee, has received such embellish-
ment); as might have been expected from the taste of the man
who cast out the abominations of the old state bed, and its tat-
tered hangings. The numerous columns and the ceiling, which,
' though classical, presented an exceedingly heavy appearance,
have been painted and decorated with great skill. The columns are now of a bright yellow colour,. slightly tinged with other
hues, and the Corinthian capitals are splendidly gilt. The walls, which were before as dark as if the numerous parties
invited in former Mayoralties, regaled-themselves, after dinner
with pipes of' tobacco, have received the lively brush,
-
• and correspond with the improvements elsewhere exhibited.
The niches are partially supplied with figures, copied from the
works of Canova and others of the most celebrated masters ;
and all the spaces will be occupied in the same manner, as soon
as the figures are finished by the artists. That cumbrous, mis-
shapen, and ridiculous piece of deformity, the canopy, which
stood at the head of the hall, has been removed, and its place
is beautifully occupied by immense mirrors, which, in the blaze
' of the light, give an artificial size to the room, and number to
the company, surpassing any effect we have seen in rooms of
similar extent. At the opposite end of the Ball are mirrors
coecesponding in size. New gas chandeliers have been sus-
pended from the ceilings, by gilt rods. New windows have
been made at each end, formed of ground glass, with stained

The company sat down to dinner at seven o'clock.—By an
arrangement that the guests should take their seats as they ar-
rived, the confusion which has generally been occasioned at
dinners of the kind, by letting in the whole of the company to I
scramble for places, was avoided.
After the health of " the King was drank, and the national
anthem was sung by some of the first professional singers, under
the direction of Mr. Nicholson,
The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the Duke of
York. His. Lordship expressed his-regret that his Royal High-
ness had been prevented by sudden indisposition from honour_
ing them with his company. The toast was drank with en-
thusiasm.
The Lotto Maxon then proposed the health of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Saxe-Coburg, whose presence was, he
was convinced, a source of great gratification to the whole of his
distinguished visitors.
Prince LtiziPotn, in returning thanks, begged to assure his
Lordship that no one could be more sincere than he was in his
wishes for the prosperity of this ancient City ; that no one could
be more anxious to have an opportunity of serving it, or feel a
higher degree of respect for the distinguished Chief Magistrate
who presided at this Grand Civic Fesuval.—(Applause.)
The LORD 3/A YOR, in a very complimentary speech, pro.:
posed the health of the Lord Primate of all Ireland. His Lord-
ship expressed much gratification at the presence of that much-
respected Prelate.'

The LORD PutstaTs: briefly returned thanks.
Prince LEOPOLD, said, it was unnecessary for him to say
any thing to the company; to recommend the toast he was now
about to propose. They all knew the estimable qualities of the
Lord Mayor, as a private citizen, and his zeal, activity, talent,
and integrity, as a Magistrate,and he wasconvinced they would
drink his Lordship's health in the warmest manner.
This toast was enthusiastically drank.
The LoRP .M AY OR, in returning thanks, said, that surround-
ed as he was by some of the most distinguished persons in the
realm, in rank, commerce, and the arts, it was impossible that
he should not feel highly flattered, by the approbation with
which his health had been drank. But, he felt, that the respect
that had been paid to him, was rather due to the high office in
which he appeared than to the humble individUal who had the
honour of filling it. Whether he looked to the past or to the
future, however, he felt the very highest gratification at thia nu-
merous attendance of his fellow citizens.
The health of the Duke of Newcastle was next drank.
His Lordship, in returning thanks, complimented the city of
London audits Chief Magistrate, and proposed the health of the
Lady Mayoress.
The next toast was the health of the Peers who honoured the
Mansion House with their presence.
Lord BATIIURST returned thanks.
The Bishop of Chester was then drank, who.returned thanks
in a neat and appropriate speech.
The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the health of Mr. Peel,
and those of his Majesty's Ministers who were present, said
it was impossible the country could have enjoyed the blessings
of peace. without the exertions which had distinguished the
able individuals of whom he spoke. .Although they had
been aided by the support of the great body of the Legislature,
and by the zml of the people, the merit of bringing the ar-
duous struggle to a conclusion of the happiest nature, was
certainly theirs. Not only was the nation indebted to them
for the management of the war,. but for their enlightened and
liberal policy in peace, in securing, by wise and liberal com-
mercial regulations, the prosperity of the country. He felt he
was not only spealeng the sentiments of the City of London,
but of the country at large, when upon such grounds he pro-
prosed the toast.—(Applause.)
Mr. PEEL, returned thanks on behalf of his colleagues who-
were present, as well as on behalf of those who were absent,
and begged to state, that they were always glad to have an op-
portunity of testifying their respect for this great Corporation.
fhey felt they would be wanting in their duty to their King and
their Country, if they did not attend most scrupulously to the
interests of the City. Mr. Peel then complimented the Lord
Mayor upon the very efficient and distinguished manner in which
he performed the duties of his office, and begged to he allowed
this opportunity of proposing the toast of " Prosperity to the
City of London."

The healths of the Speaker of the House of Commons, the
Judges, the Foreign Ambassadors, &c. &c., were then drank,
and the ball company. began to arrive. .
Sir Ilumphry Davy, Sir Thomas Lawrence, the Recorder,
Sir E. Knatchbull, and Alderman Wood, expressed their thanks
in appropriate speeches.
A t half-past ten there were about 1500 of the evening com-
pany assembled, and the dancing commenced, and continued
to a late hour.

The Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester paid visits
to the King yesterday.
On Tuesday the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honoured
the Italian Opera House with their presence.
Yesterday the Duke of Cambridge dined with the Archbishop
of York previous to attending the performance of the Sacred
Oratorio of the Messiah, at the Hanover-square Rooms.
Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Princess Augusta and the
Duke of Cambridge walked round St. James's Park.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge accompanied by Prince
George and Princess Augusta Amelia of Cambridge, the
Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia, visited the
Princess Augusta yesterday.

Orange arrived at MOSCOW on the this of May, and went to the

NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-HOUSE.
(From a Nero York Paper of the 18th May.)

DELAYS OF JUSTICE.—Thcre is, we perceive, to be another
meeting of Members of the Bar this afternoon, in relation to
the judiciary system. Dilatory litigation is an oppressive evil
in any, but more especially in a commercial country ; it is a
kind of palsy to all who are so untbrtunate as to be involved in
it. We are persuaded that the community will cheerfully
second every effort that is made for the removal of the evil, and
cannot but express our own pleasure that such a man as Tiros.
Aunts EMMET, who is now at the head of the profession,
should take the lead in devising measures to accomplish so
desirable an end.

Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated the Gilt of April, mention that Mr. Bresler
one of the Members of the Court of Justice, had
committed suicide.

The Malta Gazette of the 14th of April states,
that the individuals concerned in the atrocious acts of piracy
and robbery on board the Speranxa brig, had all been found
guilty, but the Governor had commuted the sentence of death
for that of transportation for various periods, in consequence of
a recommendation from the jury, on the ground that they had
all been blind instruments in the hands of others, rather than
the planners of the piracy. One of the prisoners, who com-
mitted suicide in prison before trial, made a very extraordinary
confession, from which it appears that the property in the pira-
tical vessels which plundered the Speranza, was vested in mer-
chants of different nations, and that the proceeds were as regu-
larly appropriated as those of the most legal undertaking.
