THE KING.

WiNnson, JUNE 2:—H is MAJESTY again left the Royal
Lodge this morning at a quarter after 12 o'clock for the Course,
accompanied
,by, the Dukes.uf Dorset and Wellington. and the
Marquis Conynghain. Tbe.King's carriage was followed by
five others, containing the Earl and Countess Scarborough, Earl
and CountesS Warwick, Lord and Lady Mount-Charles, Mar-
quis Graham, Earls Jersey, vendain, and Egremont, Lords
Graves, Fitzroy SomerSet, Plarendon, Rods, and Foley, Sir A.
Barnard, and Mr. Delme.—At one o'clock they arrived, and
.proceeded up the Course to the Royal Stand, where his Ma-
jesty was loudly greeted, as on the two first days. The. King
-arui his visitors left the CoUre at five o'clock. His Majesty
seemed greatly delighted at his own horse entered. in the Duke
of York's name, winning the Subscription Sweepstakes. His
Royal Highness the Duke of York left Fro"more on horseback
this Morning, soon after 12 o'clock,' for Ascot Heath, accom-
panied by the Duke of Rutland, and attended. by two outriders.
Although the morning did not appear very favourable, the
Races have again been extremely well attended this, day.
Indeed we could scarcely distinguish any difference in point of
number and quality from that of TueSday.
.The wind itpori
the Heath was rather cold; but the Ladies, notwithstanding',
shone forth in all their summer gaiety. The sport was excel-
lent, and excited the greatest interest hi the betting circle, espe-
ciallY. for the cup, upon whichlarge sums of money were de-
pending; but the knowing ones were
the it.field,.and its ter-
mination changed the looks of many hundreds.

THE GRAND CALEDONIAN FETE.
A grand Fancy Ball took place at ALMACK'S on Monday
night, which was at once splendid, pleasing, and effective. At
ten the Great Rooms above, and the Banqueting Hall below,
were brilliantly illuminated. At half-past ten about 250 tickets
were passed. At eleven arrived her Royal highness Princess
Augusta, with fonr Ladies in her suite. Her Highness wai
received with Highland honours by the. Duke of Argyll, at-
tended by six other. Noble Caledonians. The Princess was
dressed in a robe of white silk, most superbly embroidered
with golden flowers, and a magnificent plume of 'ostrich 'fea-
thers and diamonds. The renowned Piper followed with the
boys, forty-six in number, playing the reel of" Tullochgorum."
Her Royal Highness, on entering the Great Saloon, was re-
ceived with the loyal air of " God save the King." The
boys then passed, two and two, around the room, and down
the stairs to an interior room, and we saw them no more.
At midnight, the dancing commenced with the air, " Wallace
bled." Then Collinet's band struck up a qUadrille; 'To this
succeeded a highland Reel, called ": Athol ;Brume ;" and the
.
Reel of" Tullochgorum" was so great a tavounte. that it was
called for twice: A long Country Dance Succeeded a series of
French, German, and Polonaise: Quadrilles. The crowded
room (upwards of 1100 persons,) produced heat almost into.
lerable, notwithstanding the coldness Of 'the night. At four
o'clock the dancing had a pause, and Wholly ceased at five
o'clock. The following will give a faint idea of the Fancy
Dresses :—The Duchess of Bedfoidin al most., euperb dress,
with a Spanish hat of scarlet; decorateaWith chains otbrilliants,
with amethysts in the centre. TheDuChess of Montrose made

wore the II ighland costume, and Madein.ahritist Maeda-es:a dis.
play of jewellery. - -Thera!) were ,others, ant none assumed that.
plaid to more advantage than the beautiful -Misses Campbell.
The lion. Mrs: Pope made her usual display, and. if possi.
ble the quantities of diamonds were increased. Mrs. 'William
Camac also made a most splendid display of diamonds.
The foreign Characters, although not so numerous as at the
Festival last year, were more brilliant; and among them the
following deserve notice:—Major Murray Belcher, as the
Grand Turk ; Sir Stephen Glynn, a Spanish Grandee; Mrs.
Walpole, a Spanish Donna, in scarlet and white gossamer ;
Mr. Campbell, a Noble Hungarian ; Lady Eleanor Campbell,
in Spanish Costume; Mrs. Gordon a Spanish Dress; Mr.

and silver, a la Espagniole; Mr. Bailey, a rich Spanish dress;
Count Karoli me dress of a Noble Hungarian ; tlr. Bootle

splendid Court dresses were :—Hon. Colonel Ramsey, Sir
Charles Rich, Earl of Moray, Mr. Wilton, Mr. John Mills,
Mr. Dtt Pre, Colonel Elphinstone, Sir R. Hill, Mr. Stirling,
Lord A. Paget, Mr. J. Fitzroy, Marquis de Salvo, Prince
Gortchakoff, Count Potemkin,- Captain Duff,- Sir Loftus
Otwav, Viscount Clive, Captain Stanhope, Mr. Totnline,
and Mr. Delme Radcliffe were in Militaryiniforma.—Sir
Thomas Cochrane, Captains Tower, Cadogart, and lltz-
clarence wore Naval uniforms. Also, were splendidly dressed,
Lady Gwydyr, in tartan and diamonds; Lady Otway, in white
and silver, with a profusion of brilliantS the Ladies Berkeley,
in fancy dresses; the Duchess of Richmond, in tartan; the
Ladies Cornwallis, in rich fancy dresses; Lady Jane Houston's
diamonds were most superb; Mrs. Stuart Mackenzie in golden
tissue ; the Ladies Legge, and the Countess of Surrey, in beau-
tiful fancy dresses. Among the Ladies in the Highland cos-
tume were—the Countess of Roseberry, • Lady Melville, Mrs.
Farquharson, Countess of Casillis, the Ladies Cathcart. Among
the Eccentricities were—Greek Slaves, Arabs, Russians, Morris
Dancers (Mr. Mark Tier being-at their head) ;• Mary Queen of
Scotts. The Dukes of Sussex, Athol, and Argyll, and the Earl
of Breadalbane cut a noble appearance, in appropriate High-
land costume; and Colonel d'Eate, in tartan, had a dignified
pearance. Among those similarly clad we noticed—the Chief
of Clanronald, Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Stewart Mackenzie Mr.
Stewart Nicolson, Mr. Walter Campbell, Mr. Drummond, Mr.
'Charles Forbes, Lord Leveson Gower, Lord Gwydyr. Laurel
and oak leaves in gold, representing wreaths, were much worn
by the young and beautiful. The celebrated Gow and his band
attended, as usual. Happy should we be had we only to relate
the uninterrupted mirth, harruon3A and joy, which mantled
over this variegated assembly. But while all was harmony
above, below uproar prevailed. The door was besieged by, a
crowd in black coats, presenting their passports and 'claiming
admittance in vain ; for the tickets expressed " no person in
mourning admitted." The applicants represented themselves
not to be in mourning, but it availed them nothing, for the
Cerber,is of the place closed the door on their hopes. Inde-
pendently of this there was no alloy.

Prince I,ForoLn honoured the Earl of DAnKr-

ANNUAL MEETING' of the CHARITY CHILDREN
AT ST. PAUL'S.

Yesterday the principal streets of -the metro-
polls presented a very grotesque and interesting appearance, it
being the anniversary meeting of the charity schools within the
Cities of London entl,Westminster, Southwark, and parts adja-
cent, at the Cathedral 'Church of St, Paul's. Soon after 10 o'clock
in the morning the poor children were in motion, and headed by
. their -.makers, tutors, and the beadles of the various pariilies,
carrying their batons, banners, &C., they proceeded in neat pro-
cession from their schools to the Cathedral, all attired in new
Clothing. Nothing could exceed the gratification their dean and
wholesome appearanceafforded to every person who beheld them,
and every wintio* was filledwith spectators, who seemed delight-
ed at the passing scene. On arriving at the stupendous edifice,
they entered at the north, south, and western doors, and each
School was plaeed in the station allotted to it on the temporary
gallery under the great dome. In the centre of the church were
seats erected for the patrons, their friends, and those persons
who were provided with tickets ; pews were also provided for the
Gentlemen of the Committee, the Treasurers, the Lord Mayor,
and. Members of the Corporation of London, the Clergy, &c. By
half-past II o'clock, such was the intense anxiety to be present
at the interestingly grand national spectacle, that the church
became so crowded that not a seat was to be obtained, and many
ladies of high rank were necessitated to put up with a place in
the organ-loft. At 12, the President, his Royal highness
the Duke of Gloucester, arrived, accompanied by. Colonel
Higgins, Captain Foster, and another gentleman.. his Royal
Highness was met at the great western entrance by Mesam
Stable and Child, the treasures, by whom lie and his party
were escorted to the Royal pew, which was to the right of
the pulpit. Immediately to the right of. the Duke were
three of the Canadian Chiefs : they were accomModated in
the committee-pew, and were under the _care of Mr. Bagster,
of Paternoster-row, and Mr. Butterworth-; their singular
'dress and physiognomy• excited general curiosity. They
gazed continually at the children. The company, haring taken
their seats, the doors-were closed, and the performances com-
menced with the 100th:Pialm, which was sung by all the chil-
dren, amounting to 6.000, accompanied on the organ by Mr.
Attwood. - After which the psalms were chaunted in an ad,,
mirable style by :the gentlemen of the choir, the thildien join-
idg iu The Gloria. Pc.z.tri ,to each psalm. After the First Lesson
7'e Deans was limely'executed by:theater/le gentlemen, aided by
the boys of his Majesty's 'Chapel Royal, as was also Jubilate
Deo.' Next'follOwed the Coronation Anthem; thechildren join-
, ing in 'those parts Of the grand clowns, i. e. " God save the
King ; Long live the King. ' The prayer for the King was
then read by the Reverend Mr. Packman, one of the Minor
Canons; alid the 113 Psalm was executed by the children in
very pretty style. After it-had been concluded, an appropriate
sermon was delivered by the Bishop of Down and Connor.—
The Bishop took his text from the 3d chapter of Corinthians,
17th verse. After the sermon, the children sang four verses of
the 104th Psalm, and the whole concluded with the Hallelujah
Chorus, which was powerfully executed by the gentlemen of
the choir and all the children. Amongst the company present
we noticed, in addition to those already stated, the Princess
Sophia of Gloucester, Lord Bexley and family, Lord Barnard
and family, Lady Astley and family, the Lord and Lady
Mayoress, Alderman' Atkins, and Mr. Sheriff' Key, Bishops
of I.landaff, Chichester, and Nora Scotia, Dr. Bloomfield, and
numerous others of the clergy. After the business at the Ca-
thedral concluded, the patrons and subscribers repaired to
the 'Albion 'l'arern, Aldersgate.street, . where they sat down
to a Most sumptuous dinner, the Duke of Gloucester in the
chair ; and we are happy to say, that the Treasurer, in an-.
nouneing the amount' of the subscriptions at the door, said they
considerably exceeded those of last year. The company con
slated of about 209, and after spending the evening with hila
rity, they departed at early hour.

A Letter from Calais, written .un Tuesday
last, mentions the disappointment that had, been experienced,
at the very small number of English travellers that had lately
landed there. Instead of being greater than on former years,
as had been expected in consequence of the Coronation, there
seemed 'to be a diminution, and the Hotel-keepers were far
from being well satisfied. • •

speeches from the Chair, and were received with much cheer-
