CARLTON-HOU-St FEU.

. .
- It is not an octanatilar building, but a polygo-
na One, apon which the worktPten are now em-
ployed in St. James's Park. This erection will
have twenty-four angles, instead oreight. Every
alternate angle is-to have a windowi to act upon
sympathetic hinges, and thus they will be ,used in
a double capacity, either as doors or windows.—
This will be a very magnificent pile, partaking
completely of the Oriental style, and forming a
rare combination after the Chinese, Hindostan,
and/Persian style of -building and decoration. It
resemble, in the- roof, a cone, rising to a
towering beiglit, above the summit of the lofty.
. trees, perhaps from 60 to 80 feet ; the diameter
will be 130 feet. Jr is to be a supper-room, and
• not a ball-room. The arrangeThents in. the inte-
rior will be most admirable ; the novelty viii both
surprise and instruct the fashionable world : the
tables are to diverge from a central space, and to
contain 624 seats'. It is proposed (and from a cal-
culation made, can, no doubt, he carried into ef-
fect) to erect 20 principal tables,' each of which
to be 50 feet long ; an open space, or promenade
about seven feet wide, a ill he introduced ;
the latter will be formed by the tables on one side,
and the ekteriorcircumterence of the buiJding on the
other. Circular tables are to intervene between
the great ones, for the accowinodation of that
proportion of the company- nut able to procure'
seats at the large tables. In the central space,
there will he placed n magnificent pedestal, appro.-.
priated to the purposes of a sideboard, which-will
glitter with an abundance of valuable plate. This
Eastern Temple will be planed on the lawn !4'.

• THE ILLUMINATIONS.—In the front of Carlton,
House, the grand outline will resemble The Tem-
ple of the Sun, pourtraycd by every device app.--
cable to the subject. No less a number than forty
thousand lamps, of. variegated hues, are to he
toed in lighting up the facade alone. The trans-
parencies now preparing will astdnish foreigners
as well as natives. They will not.resemble those
miserable daubs which havt heretofore distin-
guished cur illuminations ; they will be specimens
of matchless excellence, comprehending what' (he
immortal BURKE truly denominated " the sublime
and beautiful."

-HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING4IOOI4S—The Draw-
ing 'Room to be held. at the QUEEN'S House,
Thursday, the 2d of June, is expected to he 'one
of most splendid that the. British Court has ever
exhibited. The- number of young Ladies of. rank
who are to be presented, will alone he sufficient to
give an -unusual. and unprecedented charm arid
brilliancy on this occasion ;. the rarity of Drawing
Rooms within the last years having accumulated
an arrear of rising. beauties and gracea to be in-
troduced so nutiterous, as to constitute a crowd
in thinselves, insomuch, that we understand the
QUEEN has caused it to be privately signia,m"
that *he Wishes tll,-, first of the two Drawing
Rooms now announced, to he resorted to only by
persons to be presented, and those who are to pre-
sent them ; and to defer the general reception till
the second Drawing Room, announced for the i6th
of June, at which it is supposed the Allied Sove-
reigns will be present. •

THE T FAT R e interesting• historical ro-
'nonce of Richard Cur de Lion was last night re-
vived with picturesque beauty at Covent-Garden
Theatre. The part of lilati:4a was performed .by
.Miss STEVEN'S, who sting the airs with great skill,
and who sustained the part with interesting ef-
fect : she is obviously imvl:oving as an actress.—
BAR RYMORR, the original Blonde:, played the part
with all his former spirit., The rest of the parts
were respectably supported by TAY Loa, Duar.s -
SET, SIMMONS, and Miss MATTHEWS. The piece
was strengthenzd by -a
,pas-de deux by Mr. Sots-

ance of the warlike fabrics of old times.
