DUKE OF Y >Rk.

Thur.day completed the aoth year that the DuEB
of-Nous has had the command of the Coldstream
Regiment of Foot Guards, on which occasion His
Royal Highness gave, a most sumptuous dinner, at
WILLIS'S Rooms, to all the Officers who now be.
long to the regiment, or have belonged to it during
that time, to the number of about one hundred and
fifty. At half past five o'clock His Royal Highness
took the chair ; Lord CAVAN took his seat on the
right .of His Royal Highness, and the Dolt of
CUMBERLAND on his left. Lord CHARLES So.
*mum Sir- WATSON, Generals CALVERT,
WYNYARD, LENOX, BURRARD, and BROWNRIOG,
were likewise at the head of the table.

After dinner Non Nobis, Pem;Ne, was sung with
very fine effea by the three KNYVETTS, GALE,
LEETE, and SALE, .whom we were happy to ob.,
serve perfealy recovered from his late indisposition.
The Du then gave,
" The Kt me," with three times three.

- Rule Britimuia folloWad, which was sung by the
whole company, accompanied by His Royal High.
tins's Band.
" The QuELN and PAINC3 of WALLS," with three times
three.

The DUKE of CUMBERLAND gave,
" The DUKE of Yo K, and the Twentieth Anniversary."

DrGNUM sung a song, written on the occasion,
on the Coldstream Regiment, which was extremely
well received.

In the course of the evening a number of excellent
Glees were sung by the K N varrs, SA !Woke, and
LUTA. Messrs. DIGNUM, TAYLOR, and GIB.
nom, sung a number of Songs. and His Royal
Highness's Band played a number of martial pieces.

The Entertainment was under the direCcion of
the FICIOARTHUR.UPTON, and General WYNYARD
and it is supposed will cost his Royal Highness
5001. The Royal .DUKEEI left the room a short
time before twelve o'clock.

TH a THEATRE..—The reception which the New
Comedy of ". Oa Honey Moon" experienced on its
repetition at Drury.l.ane Theatre last night abun.
dandy confirmed. the favourable report we gave of
it. The Piece has been shortened, but the pruning
knife may still be applied to it with gond effect,
not only because it is upon the whole much Eno long,
but because there are many parts in it that are weak
and languid. If it has no great pretensions to ori.
ginality, except in the sentiments and sallies of
fancy, it is a very pleasing and interesting melange.
It:certain'y wants no support that the Performers
Can give to it. EL LISTON and Miss DUNCAN
conspicuously take the lead, but BANNISTIA,
WitOUGHTON,. ' CoLLI Miss MELLON, and
Miss Da CAN? deserve a very favourable mention,
as well as MATHEWS, who renders his little part
very efFeCtive. The Play is apparently settled in
the good opinion of the Public, and will probably
be very attradive.
A new Concert Room was opened en Thursday,
near Ruisell.square, with a eharthing exertion of
musical skillf under the patronage of the Duke and
Duichess of RIDEORS...- More than two hundred
of the Subscribers attended ; and the entertainment
the toncert afforded will most probably increase its
attradion. A grand Overture by WINTER opened
the Concert. In the course of the evening W sic H.
said, gave a Concerto on the Violin in an admir.
able style. The composition was his own, 'and it
was most excellent. BEAHAM and Mrs. SECOND
Were the Vocal Performers, and both acquitted them.
selves very ably. Mrs. SECOND cornea from a musi.
cal family deservedly respened for their talents,
and she is a very charming
_Performer._
- -

The Concert was succeeded by a Ball, under the
condua of Mr. SECOND, who presided aver the
Balls at the NEW AMATQUIL CONCEE.T4 held
last year in the Hanover.square Ro.mo. Indeed
the Entertainments we now notice, may be consi.
dered as a continuation of the elegant amusements
which were so highly patronized at that place.

Music.--The Anniversary Dinner of the Mem-
bers of the New Musical Fund took place on
Thursday last at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.—
The Hon. Joint •SPENCItIif a Gentleman of well.
known taste and genius in Music, took the Chair,
and the room was numerously attended by Pro.
lessors and Amateurs. The Chairman delivered an
interesting Athirees to the meeting on the subject of
the. Institution, stating the services it had rendered
to the unlottunate, but declaring that the Society
would be under the melancholy necessity of di.
minishing the annuities, unless the revenues. were
increased. According to, this Gentleman's state-
. went, 9,2251. had been distributed among unfor.
.tunate Members, their widows and 'children.--
The effect of this Address was suitable to the;
wishes of the benevolent Chairman ; and will, no,
doubt, be foUnti in the augmented revenues of the.
Institution. The, day passed off with the utmost.
conviviality, and a varied display of musical,
science and vocal ability.
D'EoviLLn has contradifte'd a letter from STE I.
BELT, the Composer, that appeared in the public
prints, in which the latter asserted, that the Music
for the New Ballet at the Opera House was ready..
D'Eomot, supported by the authority of the
Manager, positively declares that the Music was not
ready. We may repeat the old couplet :

" Strange that such clilFeretu:e should be,
" W iXt swear dum and tweedls des."

A young Lady, in the Pump-room, at Bath, on
being complimented by a friend, on her improved
appearance, accused the complimentor as being
guilty of flattery ; who, to .refute the reproach,
with suitable effervescence and jocoseness, declared,
that she was grown as plump as a partridge. " I
suspenecl you of flattery o.lly, in the first place,"
replied the sprightly Belle, " but now I perceive
you are absolutely making game of rue."
