The rear front of the villa presented the most imposing ap-
pearance. Here was erected one of those stupendous temporary
rooms on floor cloth, for which the Messrs. Baber have such
acknowledged fame. The interior was decorated by Mr. Mu-
son in a very fanciful style with pink, white, and blue stripes,
hanging in close festoons from the roof, anti forming fluted
columns, surmounted by what are called Turk's caps. The
walls were hung with glories in pink calico. 'Within about
sixteen columns, tables were laid, fur in number, for titly-four
each; and these tables were five times replenished;: the first
three with every thing served on china, and the last two on
massive plate, sent the preceding day by Rundell and Bridge.
In the house the great saloon, the large drawing-room, and
another apartment were appropriated for the accommodation of
300 persons; add the pavilion, and then the whole are summed
up. The banquet was of a peculiar description ; and the
effect, particularly in the long room (the temporary one), was
peculiarly grand, from the richness of the set out, in which
we ought not to forget the emulous display in dress, the match.

lyon, &c. It was kept up with spirit till nine o'clock, and did
not wholly cease till the hour of ten. Carriages were then or-'
dered, but the departure of a few being protracted, a happy
thought struck the hostess-a petite saver was ordered to be
knocked up in a trice. It was over at eleven and then Mrs.
Coutts herself quitted the scene for London. ,
The fore-frout of the house has a long vista to the left, which
reaches to a romantic road. From the esplanade there is an
easy descent on the right, through walks and wildernesses,
which lead to the state marquee, wherein the platform was
placed for dancing. Two other tents were

the lawn, consisted of no less than seventy performers, all in
full dress, consisting of the Duke of York's and Duke of
Gloucester's, both excellent, but the latter is said to be the
finest set of performers, in their line, in Europe.

GRAND DINNERS.

Yesterday the following Noblemen and Gentlemen gave
Grand Entertainments:—

The Duke of Beaufort, in Grosvenor-square ; the Dowager
Duchess of Leeds, in Grosvenor-street ; the Bishop of Lincoln,
in Connaught-place; Lord Salumn, in Great Cumberland-
street ; John Smith, Esq. M.P. in Grosvenor-square; Mrs. S.
Lefevre, at Whitehall.

Music.--A Concert took place last night at
Mrs. MAnttries, in Upper Brook-street, for the benefit of
the Misses FciarrAixE, which was one of the most gratifying
of the kind that we have attended during the season. The
Vocal performers were Madame Pasta, Mademoiselle Garcia,
Miss Povey, Master Smith, Signors Placci, Torri, and Befriz.
The instrumental performers were the Misses Fontaine, bola,
Puzzi, and Dragonetti. Miss Fontaine displayed great skill
on the pianoforte, and Miss E. Fontaine on the harp. Sola's
flute was in admirable order, and the other instrumental per-
formances were excellent. 11adame Pasta, in taste, feeling,
and energy, was equal, if not superior, to any vocal performer
that we have heard since the best days of Mara. We wish we
had room for particulars, but the whole was rendered addi-
tionally pleasing by the attentive courtesy of the Lady of the
mansion, and the abundant refreshments which she had pro.
vided for the occasion. The room was well attended, many
elegant females were present ; and the Concert was altogether
supported in such a manner as to excite and to deserve great
applause.
