LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,

way ;non a sight worth gazing at. In the
sinl!ler rooms thy, charm was broken—they presented a
well-dter,sA cru:;h, arid nothing more. For the infer-
roaton of whom it may concern, we have to state that,
for the ladies' dresses white was beyond comparison the
predominating colour, and that it was a summer bell;
flowers appeared to have pti; diamonds to shame, the
display of the latter not by any means amounting to the
average quantity.
During the evening refreshments were handed about
in profusion, end the quantity of ices consumed must
have been prodigious. Everything passed off most hap-
pily during the evening, and if the English visitors fel;
that they excited more than ordinary curiosity amongst
the French portion of the guests, they could not but ad-
mit at the same time that it was impossible to find
greater cordiality and a more courteous feeling displayed
than they met with from every one around them. When
we left, at half-past two, the rooms had thinned, but the
dance was still going on with unflagging spirit.

and the third by four lengths. The winner was put up
to auction and sold for 210 sovs.

The meeting so far has been attended with the most
complete success, the racing proving as excellent as it
was plentiful, the attendance greater than we have seen
on Brighton course, and the weather favourable in the
extreme. The new grand stand was crowded, but truth
obliges us to add, that it will require several alterations
to make it what it ought to be; at present, only those
who have the good fortune to obtain front places in the
wings can see anything of the races; the enclosure must
be raised, and the water cart brought into requisition;
the dust, not merely in the road, but in the immediate
vicinity of the stand, and also within the enclosure, was
absolutely intolerable.

BOARD THE CHINESE JUNK.—The illuminations with the
music and dancing, which have been for some time pro-
ceeded with on board the Chinese Junk, have been suddenly
discontinued by the peremptory command of the City Navi-
gation Committee, arising, it is said, from the complaints
of some of the inhabitants of Essex-street and vicinity,
tenants of the Duke of Norfolk, made through hie Grace's
solicitor.
