THE COVIIT.

CELEBRATION OF THE QUESN'S RIRTH-DAY.
Some months ago the PRINCE REGENT, with a
-view to relieve -the distres-ses of the manufactur
ing classes, by affording them employment, gave
directions in the Gazette for the public celebra-
tion of the Queen's Birth-day, and of his own ;
and, in order to make the relief more effectual,
notice Was given, that it was expected that on
both occasions all those who should attend "the
Court would appear in dresses enrirelyof.British
manufacture. In further pursuance of this plan,
his Royal Highness ordered all his State and
Household Officers to weer costly dresses of home
fabrication, and those dresses were directed to be
made into three classes of uniforms, according to
the respective ranks of those Officers. The first
class consists of .suits for the Lord Chamberlain,
the Lord Steward, and the Groom 'of the Stole.
The coats are of dark purple, with crimson velvet
collars, richly orivonented all over with gold :
they were very spltntid, and excited much admi-
ration. Not only those persons who are imme-
diately under the commaud of the Prince Regent
had complied with the laudable direction of w:-ar•
ing British dresses, 'but all the company present
yesterday showed that they hAil been equally
anxious to afford relief to theio skittering country-
men by citiployineot, which is the only perma-
nently useful mode of relief.
The Court,- in honour of the Queen'4, Birth-
day, was at first fixed for the fith of the mo,tth ;
but her Majesty being at that time unable, front
the effects of her late illness, to hear the fatigues
incident to these occasions, it was poStponed till
yesterday, when her Majesty was entirely re-
covered.

The day was announced, as usnal, by the ring-
ing of bells and the salute of artillery.; an I the
people, temindeeby these intimations, flocked in
great numbers to the vicinity of the Queen's I'a-
lace. The weather, which had been very dull
and rainy, began to clear up. about 1 o'clock,
and the scene became eery gay and magnificent.
The perpetual succession of state-carriages aitd.

who are fond of pwAi and spectacle. The com-
pany began to arrive about one., and continued
to do so till half-past three. The Prince
gent arrived its stare about halt-past three.: his
