FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT, BROMPTON PARK.—Yester-
day a most elegant entertainment was given to the Nobility and
Gentry by Mr. Greenwood, of the firm of Cox and Greenwood,
in his spacious park at Brompton, to which the chief of the No-
bility and Gentry in London were invited, and honoured with
their attendance.—The entertainment was in the share of a
public breakfast, and the park, which is extremely capacious
and beautiful, was in every respect calculated to excite admira-
tion. Marquees, &c. were erected on the green for the accom-
modation of the numerous visitors, and tables of Immense size
were arranged around the place, bearing delicacies, wines, and
every refreshment that the season could produce ; the orna-
mental decorations on the tables gave the scene an appearance
of the most interesting description. The company began to
assemble at an early period of the day, and in a short time the
town of Brompton was so completely thronged by Noblemen
and Gentlemen's carriages, that it was rendered almost im-
passable. We noticed particularly amongst the company his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess
of Rutland, Duke and Duchess of Wellington, Lords Sid-
mouth Londonderry, Archibald Hamilton, Lord and Lady
Harrold,
Lady Beauclerc, Lady Donegal, Lady Je'sey, Count
and Countess Lieven, and numerous others of distinction,
amounting in the whole to upwards of 1000 individuals, most
of whom were Ladies. Two military bands were in attendance,
and stationed at each side of the Park, and during the day re-
lieved each other by playing several pieces of modern music,
to the amusement of the assemblage while at breakfast.—
In the centre of the Park a temporary erection was made for
dancing, which was kept up with great spirit. Waltzing,
quadrilles, and country dances were the order of the day. Lady
Vane Stewart led off the first quadrille with Lord Brudenell.
The company continued enjoying themselves until dusk, when
they began to separate, highly gratified with the entertainment.
ALMACK'S GRAND BALL, on Wednesday last, was decid-
edly the most brilliant of the season. The Lady of the Russian
Ambassador displayed a profusion of diamonds, and particu-
larly a cestus of brilliants, excelling in beauty those displayed
by the young Duchess of Richmond, and the Marchioness of
Conyngham. The dresses were more than usually splendid.
The dancing commenced at half-past eleven, and ended at four.
Upwards of five hundred were in the circle.

BALL AT WooLwzcx.—The Ball given by the Officers of
the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, on Tuesday last, was most
numerously and fashionably attended.—Upwards of 600 Guests
were entertained in the noble mess room of the regiment and
anti-rooms adjoining. —A fter partaking of an elegant supper, the
dancers again resumed their festive employment, and the Com-
pany did not separate until Phcebus's bright ray had long
warned them in vain.

The Duke of Grafton entertained a distinguished party at
dinner yesterday at his house in Clarges-street.
The Marchioness of Waterford will give a juvenile ball this
evening at her house in Mansfield-street.
Viscount Hampden had a dinner party yesterday at his house
in Green-street, Grosvenor-square.
