FETI it V Alt Y 14,1824.—We cannot omit giving ourselves and
the public the gratification of noticing the splendid Fete given
by the Officers of the Ceylon Regiment to i;is Excellency the
Governor, and Lady Barnes, on Thursday last. A temporary
Salle a dancer was fitted up for the occasion, on the Regimental
Parade in Slave island, having the form of a Rotunda 40 feet in
diameter, and tastefully decorated with leaves, flowers, mirrors,
and transparencies ; the latter relating to the several scenes of
Sir Edward Barnes* public life and service. The room was well
lit by 'mares and different coloured lights, and was tilled before
10 o'clock, when his Excellency and Lady Barnes having arrived,
dancing commenced, and was kept up with spirit and diver:fly
of measure, till one o'clock, when the company adjourned to a
splendid and elegant supper laid out in the Barrack of the regi-
, ment, ornamented with military arms and trophies. The health
' of Lady Barnes being given by Major Delatre, the Governor
returned thanks for her in a short speech highly flattering to
the Gentlemen who gave the entertainment, and descriptive of
his own feelings towards them and the society of Ceylon. The
company then drank Sir Edward's health, on whose proposal,
two toasts to the health of the Officers of the Ceylon Regiment,
and to the Ladies of Ceylon in general, were drank with great
applause, and the company returned to the Ball Room, where
the lively dance was kept up till six in the morning.
