the day in the Park, and returned to the Castle to dinner. This
day his Majesty and the Royal establishment attended divine
service in the private chapel in the Royal Castle, which was
performed by the Chaplain in waiting. The day being ex-
tremely fine, the town and its environs were thronged with com-
pany, and the Terrace round the Royal Castle was crowded
with all ranks of persons. In the afternoon, after the conclu-

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT
OX BOARD THE WINDSOR CASTLE TO THE KING AND
THE PRINCESSES OF PORTUGAL.

44 Windsor Castle, Togas, May 21.
" You will have heard of the arrival of the KING and PRIN-
CESSES on board the Windsor Castle, their departure, and of
every circumstance that occured during that period. Since ,
then, our excellent Commander received his Majesty's com-
mands, that he would honour him with his presence to a Ball
and Supper, on Wednesday the 19th. Every preparation was
made, considering the shortness of the notice, and, I may say,
that one of the most splendid entertainments ever given on
board ship, was witnessed that evening on the quarter-deck
of the Windsor Castle. The deck was magnificently fitted up,
forming a tent by the standards and flags of England and Por-
tugal, extending from the foremast to the taffrel, in booms
being planked over. A most superb throne of velvet and gold
was erected at the afterpart of the quarter-deck, over which was
suspended the Crown of Portugal in variegated lamps. On the
mainmast fronting was a picture of his most Faithful Majesty,
over a transparency of the Royal Arms, tastefully decorated by
laurel, and the flags of England, Portugal, France, Spain,
Holland, and America. On the foremast was seen the Crown
of England, with G. R. IV. in variegated lamps; added to
which, two magnificent glass chandeliers were suspended, and,
whh lamps all round the ships, had unquestionably a most
brilliant effect. His Majesty and Princesses came on board at
seven o'clock, under a Royal salute from the Portuguese squa-
dron and French line-of-Battle ship Sand Petri (which ship was
splendidly illuminated in the evening), with their yards man-
ned, and were received by Captain Dashwood, his Officers, the
whole of the Corps Diplomatique, all the respectable Eng-
lish residents in Lisbon, and such of the Nobility that had
arrived. His Majesty was occupied till near nine o'clock with
the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and Great Officers of
State, it the after-cabin, when the ball was opened by Marquis
Palmella and Marchioness Anjega, followed by between 30 and
40 couple, in two rows.
Quadrilles and waltzes were danced
the remainder of the night.
Between four and five hundred
people of the first distinction were present, including the Ad-
miral and nearly all the Officers of the Santi-Petri. The whole
of the Opera Band occupied the poop for the dancing, and a
full Military Band, stationed at the fore part of the ship, de-
lighted the company by playing beautiful and select pieces
of music during the evening.
In one of the intervals a song,
composed for the occasion, highly complimentary to his
Majesty and the Princesses,
and justly applauding Sir E.
Thornton and the rest of the Corps Diplomatique, for their
strenuous exertions during the late proceedings, was sung
by Sir John Milley Doyle, at the particular request of the
King. Ices and refreshments of all kinds were in abundance.
At one o'clock, the King and Princesses retired to the cabin to
supper, (the company did the same to the ward-room and half-
deck.) Capt. Dashwood stood behind his Majesty's chair, and the
Hon. Mrs. Dashwood that of the Princesses, attended by Lieuts.
Walker, Sharpe, and Dashwood. Dancing re-commenced after

'Hon. Wm.
and Lady Barbara Pon-

Mrs.BuNrithe
,
as a
heroicll charactersi of the drama
better qualified
to supportthan any other that has appeared since Mrs.
St DDoNs. Her figure and person in general
t r
seems to have been exactly
Ac es,
formed for such cha-
racters, and if we are rightly informed, she is ca-
pable of giving powerful effect to the spirited
parts of Comedy. She is announced, we see,
for Queen Catherine, in Henry the Eighth—a
part which, no doubt, she will render very pro-
minent and impressive ; and as she is to play
Lady Racket in the Farce, the public will be
able to judge of her comic talents. The theatri-
cal community, to do them justice, are always
ready to assist each other ; but it is no slight
proof of the merits of Mrs. BONN that such a
combination of talents as those of MACREADY,
BRAIIAM, LISToN, Do INTON, HARLEY,WALLAcri,
TERRY, KNIGHT, Mrs. VESTRIS, and Miss STE-
MIENS, &c. &c., all are to appear in support of
her ensuing benefit.
