HONOUR OF His MAJESTY'S ACcEssioN. . 4
It is common in speaking of a superb enter-
tainrrient, to describe it as the most splendid ever
witnessed, but without swerving from the truth.
we may venture to assert, that the Naval and
Military' ball and supper given by the United
Services on Tuesday evening last, in honour
of 'JO present Majesty's accession -to the
Throne, was the most magnificent ever .9een in ',".'
this City, or perhaps:in any other, not given to :;•.',
Sovereigns. These rooms, which are beyond com-
parison the finest in the country, were fitted up ''-
for the occasion, under the direction of the Stel'
ards, in a truly elegant and convenient style. The
grand front in Alfred-street was illuminated with
a very large G.R., star, and crown decorated with
laurel. The suite of rooms was lighted ul--1
in the molt brilliant manner. •On the north sio
of the banquet-room was a most beautiful trans-.
parency,-a full-length portrait of his 'Majesty, full.
robed, and painted in a superior style by Mr. Hut-
chinson, jun. The company began to assemble at ,:i
9 o'clock,and were received in the vestibule by the
Stewards, from which they passed to the octagoa
and ball-room, both arranged in the best manner
for dancing-. The elegant card room on this.occa-
sion Was kept furnished as usual, and formed a
cool and pleasant room to retire to from thu •
amusement of dancing, which was maintained
with the utmost spirit and elegance till ono

and unremitted assiduity of the Stewards, and
