KING and QUEEN of the SANDWICH ISLANDS.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.—A Grand Entertainment vas
on Friday given to these interesting foreigners by Mr. Secre-
tary CANNING at Gloucester Lodge. Upwards of two hun-
dred persons of the first rank and fashion .were, invited to meet
them, among whom were their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wel-
lington, Lord and Lady Stafford, Lord Clarendon, Count and
Countess Lieven, the Ladies Bathurst, Mr. and Mrs. Falck
(the Netherlands' Ambassador), several of the Cabinet Mini-
sters, and nearly the whole of the Corps Diplomatique.—The
King and Queen arrived about eleven o'clock, accompanied
by their Prime Minister, Poki and his wife, and the rest
of his suite. His Majesty was dressed after the Europen
fashion ; the Queen's attire was partly English and partly
in native costume. The Treasurer alone was dressed in the
full costume of his country, with a large staff, &c. They
were attended by the Hon. Mr. Byng, who is appointed to at-
tend them while they remain in this country. Upon their
arrival they were received by 'Mr. Secretary Canning, who in-
troduced them to their Royal Highnesses the Duke anti Duchess
of Gloucester, Prince Leopold, &c. The band of the Life-
Guards were stationed in the garden, and continued playing
during the whole time. The company walked in the grounds
attached to Gloucester-lodge, and their Majesties seemed much
delighted with the music. When they returned into the re-
fresement room, they drank the health of the company. The
rooms were all thrown open. At half-past twelve they took
their leave, and the company then separated. Their Majesties
evinced much satisfaction at their reception, and with every
thing that took place.

ARGYLL Rooms.—These Rooms were opened
on Saturday last for a morning Concert, to display the im-
provement of the pupils belonging to THE RoYAt. ACADEMY
OF Music. It is but justice to most of these pupils to state they
display merits which reflect credit on their several Instructors,
and on themselves, for the exertions which they must have made
for th e attainment ofprofessienal skill, butour original objections
to this Institution remain the same. HisIIIAJESTY, with his usual
munificence, has liberally patronised it, and permitted it to
use the Royal sanction, but the consequences, we fear, will be
injurious to the pupils themselves. The musical market is
already overstocked with professors, who are hardly able to
support themselves ; and when these pupils are thrown upon
the public, there will be a glut. The established professors
will then be forced to occupy all the gound, and the disap-
pointed pupils in general be obliged to resort to ther modes for
subsistence.

WORCESTERSIIIRE SOCIETY.—The ninth anni-
versary dinner of this Institution took place on Saturday, at the
Albion Tavern. The company was select, but not numerous,
consisting of Sir CHARLES COCKERELL, Bart., M.P. in the
Chair; the Earl of Beauchamp, Lord Deerhurst, 111:P , the
Lion. Colonel Lygon, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Thomas Co-
ventry, J. Martin, Esq. Wm. Maddocks, Esq. M.P.,
Wm. Oidnall Russell, Esq., Patrick Ryan, Esq., and about
fifty other Gentlemen of respectability. After several intro-
ductory toasts were drank, the boys who have become the ob-
jects of the Institution's bounty, about five and twenty in num-
ber, were introduced, and walked round the room ; upon which
the Chairman gave " Success to this Society," and the Secre-
tary, William Grane, Esq., read the Committee's report. The
object of the charity is to raise a fund, by donations and annual
subscriptions, for apprenticing children of necessitous persons,
natives of the county of Worcester, and afterwards for assisting
them in beginning business ; and the report stated that they
were steadily advancing towards the accomplishment of this
most laudable and useful object, the Earl of Coventry having
accepted the office of Patron, and the Earl of Beauchamp,
Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward, the Dean of Worcester and
other individuals of influence in the county, having been added
to the list of its members. The Society had also begun to invest
part of its funds, by purchasing 1001. 3 per cent, Consols, to
meet contingencies. But the applications for its assistance
were becoming extremely numerous ; no less than eleven peti-
tions having been presented for this anniversary.

POETRY.

On the recent Anonymous Ribaldry against Mrs. COUT TS.

Why is fair CoUTTS of vulgar spleen the mark,
And venom'd arrows issu'd from the dark ?
Because she's rich, and they who less enjoy,
'With wanton envy would her peace destroy
Because, to silence disappointed gall,
Her stores, though large, will not extend to all.
Despise such vile assaults, benignant Dame,
The Needy bless, the Good revere, thy Name.
