..ISTEIIN FET,F,

Wit some weeks ag,) stated, that the Most
Noble the Giivern.or Gcneral gave a nnst splendid
Eatertaintnent in honour of.the Peace. Nothing
could exceed the magnificence of the ball, the fire-
works, &c. &c. We copy the acc.lunt of the tie,
corations of the supper table, which the genius of
the Governor General, it appears, did not disdain
to embellish with Latin inscriptions.
The most remarkable objeas were a Galley' bring-
ing the intelligence of the Peace ; a Frigate deco-
rated, with Culpurs ; sime curious Egyptian Ohe.
li,ks covered With. Hier )glYphies ; and it Tempi:,
cmblematicid of the Peace, and of the gallant ex-
ploits of our Naval and Military Corbmanders dur.
ing the late War. The Temple con%isted of eight
Curinthian Pillars supporting four Pediments, the
whole crowned by a light Dome. The Pedinients
were ornamented with Paintings

.From the Temples of Valour and FaMe, a chain
of illuminations, rising in pyramidical forms thirty.

tollali on the left, and to Champaul Ghaut on the
right, crossing :14.1.3. road to the Fort, from the cor.

and apparently conneaed with the Illumination on
the Ramparts and the Calcutta Gate.
Opposite to each Wing of the GovernMent }louse
wete three lofty and illuminated Arches, (the Arch
in the centre rising sixty feet) crowned with appro.
priate Ornaments.
Two Transparencies were eteeled opposite to the
East and West fronts of the Government House.

Battle ; " LAKE," in a wreath of Laurel on the top ;
on one side, the ArMs of General LAKE ; on the

under the command of General LAKE.
The other transparency represented a re4a of

priate.einblems.
Opposite the Northern Front of the Government
House was a Trdnsparency 40 feet high, " Beira's.

Abaresque scrolls of tight connected the whole,
in one continued Illumination, comprehending an
extent of near three miles. .
In the centre of the Esplanade, an liindos.
tanee Illumination of variegated colours, represent.
ing a Temple of Fire, appeared about ten o'clock,
and afforded a pleasing contrast to the paler lights
of the surrounding Illumination.

his country ; that indeed the world was now, and
had long been a misery to him—that he had been
unhappy in his mind fur nearly twenty years. The
original cause of that unhappiness I. could not learn,
nor, as he did not think proper to disclose it, did I
press him upon the subjed: He Said, he had for
some time past been employed in making his peace
with the Almighty, whose pardon, he humbly
hoped, he should obtain, and who, he. fervently
prayed; would give him fortitude to bear the last
great event that should close the world upon him tot
ever. I left him in a few minutes after he had ex-
pressed this hope; and as I quitted the room I ob.

These few partictilars of a Irian who has occupied
so mulch of the public attention, would not, I con.
ceived, be uninteresting to your readers. We can.
not help deploring the fate of a man whose talents
might have been an ornament instead of a disgrace
to society but let not our pity blind us to this
truth—that talents impose upon the possessors of
them a deeper moral responsibility.

A new regulation has taken place among the
tetter-tarriers belonging to the Post-Office, which
renders more secure, the conveyance of money-let•
ter, to different parts of the kingdom ; and pre.
vents the possibility of fraud being praftised. Each
man now carries a box, which is locked up, anti the
trey deposited at the rost,Oilice. ; the top of the
same is constrUded to slip the letters through, as
they are received ; and they must remain within
until delivered into the hands of the sorters, who
unlock the box, and forward the contents to the
places of destination. This salutary plan will ten_
der comnlunicsstions certain, and prevent letters
from being secreted by the carriers.
At a Meeting of. the Yorkshire East Riding Agri.
cultural Society, on Wednesday se'rittight, it was
recommended to all farmers and others to discontinue
the breed of the large long-eared, long-snouted sort
of pigs, as they have always been found unprofitable ;
they are commonly called the Yorkshire breed.
Government would at this crisis do welt to en.
courage every attempt or exertion in their favour.

consisting of :wo Troops, containing 'so glen each.
3d. That the different •Corps should-tneet in central places
at their teld.quarters, . where the Arms must be lodged, so
that those of at least each Company may be deposited toge-
ther.. • • .
4th.- Wisen.the Corps of .cavalry are established, that a
chain of connexion be formed:between each Troop, so,as to
preserve an iturnediate.eammunicatictin between the 'General
