HOUSE.

Yesterday the Entertainment which was postponed from
Easter Monday in consequence of the extensive repairs in
that building, took place. The Egyptian Hall was most ,
superbly fitted up. for the occasion, but the number of tickets
issued for the dinner having considerably exceeded what
is usual, two of the spacious apartments on .the same floor
were appropriated to the reception of the later guests.—
The arrangements made by the Committee were, However,
such as to prevent any long continued confusion in the Course
of the arrival of a dinner party consisting of nearly 500 in-
dividuals. The company experienced in the change of the draw-
ing room, which has been transferred from the second to the
first floor, a very great convenience. The Lord Mayor, in the

The health of " The King," "The Duke 6( York and the
Army," " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," and " The
health of the other branches of the Royal Family," having been
given with the greatest applause,
The Duke of YORK rose to propose " The health of the
Lord Mayor," which was drank with the usual testimonies of
approbation.
The Loan 'MAYOII in returning thanks, said, that when
he took upon him time office,
he had promised to maintain the
hospitality anti splendour which ought to be expected from the
Chief Magistrate of such a City. Ile trusted he had succeed-
ed in doing so; no exertions had, he assured the company,
been spared, upon his pact, to render his Mayoralty deserving
of their approbation. , •
The health of " the Lady Mayoress" was then drank, and
The LORD MAYOR. returned thanks for her Ladyship, anti
said, that it had been: her anxious wish to render the houie

The health of " the Earl of Harrowby" next followed; after
which, the health of " the Earl of 'Westmorland," " the Earl

drank.

The Lonn Mayon, in proposing those healths, said, that
since he had sat in Parliament, he had supported the measures
of Ministers, because he believed they were directed towards
the prosperity of the country. To their measures the country
owed the preservation of peace.
The Earl of II annownY, in returning thanks, assured the
company, that whatever might be the effect of their measureg,
their object was the prosperity of the country, as well as the
honour of the City of London, over which the Lord Mayor so
worthily presided.
The health of " the Duke of Argyle ; and the rest of the
Nobility who had honoured the City with their presence," was
then drank—after which,
The LORD MAYOR proposed " the health of the Duke of
Wellington, to whose prowess in arms it was owing that the
country was in its present state of safety."
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in returning thanks, Said that
the manner in which the compliment had been paid hint con.
vinced him of its sincerity. It was particularly gratifying to
him to receive the thanks of the citizens of London in the pre-
sence of a member of the Royal Family, and of some of the
Ministers under whose direc, ions he acted against the enemies
of his country.
The health of the Foreign Ministers being drank' Baron
LANGSI)OIIFF, the Hessian Minister, rose and spoke as fol-
lows My Lord Mayor, in the name of the members of the
Diplomatic Corps here present, I have the honour of returning
to you our warm thanks for the high compliment you have paid
us. I need scarcely say, Sir, how gratifying it is to us to be
present at this splendid assemblage of iNstrious personages
and distinguished individuals of this great' etropolis of the
civilized world, whose sympathies are ever awake to the mis.
fortunes and distresses of mankind, and which carries comfort
and consolation to the remotest corners of our globe."
