TitE Dtrtcttass or YORK.—It is the custom
among German Ladies of Her Royal Highness's rank,
on every Christmas Eve, to selet certain objeth
of charity on whom to bestow their munificence ;
but her ROyal Highness being on the late Christmas
Eve at Bath, the custom of her country was neces.
sarily postponed to some future day. On Sunday
last, twenty poor children, who have been educated
and reared by Her Royal Highness's bounty in the
neighbourhood of Oatlands, were, by her orders,
brought to her house in Portman-square. At six
o'clock the children, preceded by their Governor
and Governess, were condueled into the dining.

tahle provided for the occasion, at which they were
regaled until eight o'clock ; and on Monday they
Were conveyed back to Garlands, in Her Royal
Highness's long carriage.
