^, THE QUERN'S BIRTH-DAY.

The 24th day of February having been appointed for cele-
brating the Queen's birthday, it was observed yesterday with
every demonstration of rejoicing and respect.
The King's Guard mounted duty, with the bands of the
three Regiments of Foot Guards in their state uniforms. After
" God save the King," they performed the overture to " Fra
Diavolo," the celebrated chorus from " Pluto and Proserpine,"
and other favourite pieces.
At half-past one o'clock the Archbishops and several of the
Bishops were admitted into the presence of the Queen in her
private Drawing-room, when his. Grace of Canterbury read an
Address to her Majesty on the happy return of the day, His
Grace was accompanied by the Archbishop of York, the Bishops
of Llandaff, Exeter, Rochester, Bristol, London, &c.
Arrangements were made at the Palace as for a grand Gala
Day. Mr. Lee, the High Constable, and Messrs. Townsend
and Sayer, the officers, had under their direction a numerous
body of the police, who preserved the greatest regularity
throughout the day.
A detachment of the Life Guards marched in front of the
Palace at the bottom of St. James's-street, with their band in
full uniform, playing " God save the King." About the same
time a Guard of Honour, selected from the Royal Horse
Guards, marched into the Great Court Yard with their mune-
rous band in State dresses, having their silver kettle-drums,
which were presented to them by his late Majesty George 111.
'their Majesties, with their numerous attendants, entered
the State Rooms a few minutes before two o'clock, and re-
ceived a Deputation from Christ's Hospital, according to the
chartered custom of the Institution, to attend the First Drawing
Room in the year, in order to lay before the Sovereign the per.
formances of the senior scholars. The Deputation was headed
by:Alderman Thompson, the President; Thomas Poynder, jun.,
Esq., the. Treasurer; Mr. John Wells, the Drawing Master;
Mr. Matthew Cotton, the Receiver ; Mr. Huggins, the Steward;
and the Rev. George Boothby, the Mathematical Teacher. The
slumber of boys appointed to attend on this occasion is forty,
but owing to the indisposition of one of the boys there were no
more than thirty-nine present yesterday. Each of them on
coming into the Royal presence exhibited charts and various
other specimens of their own performances, and knelt before
their Majesties, The King took a particular interest in their
respective productions, and made a number of inquiries, in
which the Queen participated, The gentlemen composing the
Deputation were very graciously received, and retired from
the Royal presence highly delighted with the approbation of
their Majesties respecting the improvement in the different
boys' performances.
Her Majesty afterwards proceeded to hold a Drawing room.
The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria came in state
with three carriages, escorted by the Royal Horse Guards. The
dresses of their Royal Highnesses were composed entirely of
articles of British manufacture. Their Royal Highnesses were
