THE KING'S JUVENILE BALL.

. His MAJEsrY gave a hall on Thursday evening-, at his
Palace in St. James's, to the juvenile branches of the No-
bility and Gentry, to which the younger branches of the
families of SAITIP of the Ambassadors and Ministers, toge-
ther with a large portion of those of the Nobility and
Gentry, were invited. The invitations excited a consi-
derable degree of interest, many of those who received that
honour being brought from distant parts of the kingdom to
obey the commands of the KING.
A temporary orchestra (similar to the one erected for
the same purpose at the KING'S Grand Ball) was con-
structed in the Ball Room for the reception of the (lila-
drille hand. which consisted of fifteen performers, lei by
Colinet. The front of the orchestra was made to cor-
respond with the rest of the apartment, which was of
white and gold, with splendid crimson drapery, sur-
mounted by a gold blocking course, on which stood two
ormolu candelabras. At the back of the orchestra a tem-
porary room was constructed outside the Palace, which,
together with the orchestra, was erected by Mr. Hunt, in
twelve hours.

Eight o'clock was the hour named on the cards of invi-
tation, and a few minutes before that time the youthful
visitants, accompanied by their parents anti relatives, be-
gan to arrive at the Palace, at the ettrance in the Ambas-
sadors'-court, and opposite the Royal German Chapel.
The entrance in Palace-yard was reserved for the Royal
Family; in this yard the King's Guard was stationed,
with their band, in their State uniform, who received the
Royal Family on their arrival with " Gon save the K Luca"
Messrs. Messenger and D.thell, the State Pages, with the
other Pages of his MaJEsTar, dressed in their State
dresses, ushered the company into the State Apartments.
The Marahalmen and under porter, were in attendance on
this occasion. The police were, as usual, under the ma•
na-gement of Messrs. Townshend and Sayere.
The band of the Royal Horse Guards were stationed in
the Armoury Room, and received the members of the
Royal Family, as they passed to the State Room, with
" GOO save the Ktsc." This band performed various
pieces of music during the night. The silver kettle-druMs
presented by the late KING to the Regiment were used on
this occasion. They have inscribed on them, " Presented
by his 3.1.a..tr0Tv, KING GEORGE the THIRD, to his Regi-
ment of Royal Horse Guards, as a testimony of his esteem
for their military conduct on all occasions." The presen-
tation took place on the 23d April, 1605, the day on
which the last installation of the Knights of the Garter
took place at Windsor.

A few minutes past eight o'clock, the Duchess of Kent
arrived, accompanied by the Princess Victoria, and attend-
ed by the Baroness de Spaedtli, the Baroness de Litzen, and
Sir John Conroy. Soon afterwards the Duke and Duchess
of Clarence, accompanied by the Princess Emilie of Ca-
rolath, and Marchioness of 'Westmeath ; Prince Leopold,
attended by Sir Hobert Gardiner ; the Duke of Cumber-
land, accompanied by Prince George; and the Duke and
Duchess of Gloucester, attended by Lady Isabella Thymic,
also arrived.

The KING entered the State Rooms soon after eight
o'clock, and was attended ley the Great Officers of State
and the Officers of the Household, including. the Lord
Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward,
the Groom of the Stole, the Treasurer, the Comptroller,
and Master of the Household, the Deputy Comptroller of
the Household, Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher in Wait-
ing, and Sir Huoeey Vivian, the Equerry in Waiting. His
MAJESTY received his youthful guests in the most conde-
scending and affable mermen
About half-past eight o'clock his MAJESTY entered the
Ball-room, which, in addition to its large chandelier, filled
with wax lights, had oeveral candelabras arranged at the
aides of the apartments on very splendid polished steel
peciestels, ornamented with gilt ornaments, and also at the
top and bottom of the room. The party were here formed
into sets for quadrilles, by Mr. Michow, who officiated as
Master of the Ceremonies for the young gentlemen, while
Mrs. Michow arranged the young ladies. The fluor of the
apartment was chalked in the mist tasteful and elegant
,wooer, with representations of foliage executed in the
boldest ety Le.
Dancing centre:ooze:eel at a quarter before nine o'clock.
His MAJESTY, who was habited in regimentals, as Cep-
tain-Generol of the Honourable .krtillery Company, hav-
ing the stars of five different Orders on his breast, took his
peat in cue of the elosire at the north side of the apartment.
The Ducbees of Clarence szt on the left of the KJ NC. and
the Duchess of .elloureeter on hits right ; the other
Members of the Royal Family arranged themselves on
either sole of his 111-AsEsr,r, on chairs placed at the aides
of the apartment.
The Kaw: seemed highly gratified with the interesting
spectacle, and remained in the apartment during the whole
of the evening, conversing with his Royal Relatives, and
others of the company, near him,
Refreshments, including tea, coffee, lemonade, &c. were
served, during the evening, in the gallery.
The Princess Victoria danced the whole of the nets, with
two exceptions and had for partners Prince George of
Cumberland, and the on of Prince Polignae, the French
•
A mbassneior.
At eleven o'olock it was notified to hie Nheieety, that,
agreeably to hie commands the supper was served in the
Banquetting-room, Hie .ILeensov rose, and proceeded to
the apartment, followed by his numerous visitors. The
supper was laid out on tables extending the whole length
of the sides, and of the Fat end of the room, and on one
long table in the middle, and consisted of the greatest de-
lieaeioe and rarities, arranged nn numerous dishes of plate,
and the rreeeet potty chins. In the middle of the tables
were a large nu raik,r cif superb gold and silver centre-pieces
containing confectionary, artificial flowers, &c. Inter-
spersed at regular intervals with .he centre-pieces were
numbers of gold branches, containing sezierel wax lights.
—The oenaments for the tables were at once ciasaieel end
tasteful, in eoery respect suitable to the occasion, and were
arranged in a light and appropriate style, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Walter, jun., gosh Mr. Vilmet. The table
was !aid for about 200.
'I. he room was brilliantly illurninateft with five magni-
ficent oreteto)u chandeliers, one at each corner of the room,
with twelve Grecian burners, and one in the centre of
larger dimensinne then the other., containing twenty-four
burners.
The view of this lofty apartereent formed a spectacle at
once the most unique and the most impoee:ez, far surpassing
any thing of tlee kind in the metropolis, greatL' enhanced
by the elegant propenlions and capacious dimensions of the
room it-self (6r, feet by 443.)
The KING remained in the Baorituet• room about half an
hour, at the expiration of which time hie MAJESTY returned
to the Ball-room ; the younger portion o: the party left
about this time, but the elder portion resumed. kite merry
dance, which was afterward., taken up by some of the
parents and others. Waltzing was introduced, whirls was
led off by the Duke of Devonshire and the Duchess of
