Virginia-water, and kept the ground; but the public were
admitted to the side opposite to where the launch. took
place, to view the spectacle of a frigate of upwards of fifty
tons launched at a spot sixty miles inland. A guard of
honour of the household troops was also on duty. The frigate,
having been christened the Adelaide, was launched under
a salute of artillery, in the presence of the King and Queen,
and the ladies and officers of their Majesties' household.
Thy visitcrs invited specially on this occasion were the mi-
litary cadets from the college of Sandhurst, the officers of
the troops stationed at Windsor, and the Eton scholars,
who had a holyday on this occasion.
After the ceremony, their Majesties and suite, together
with the officers of the garrison, proceeded to the temple at
Virginia-water, which has recently been repaired. A de-
jeuner was there served to the party.
