ALmAcK's.—ln consequence of the Duke of Wel-
lington not giving a grand ball this year, in celebration of
her Majesty's birth-days as was expected, the Countess of
Jersey and Viscountess Palmerston, by previous appoint-
ment,. met yesterday to arrange for the second assembly.
The result'of the conference of those Ladies Paramount was,
that the next bill should take place on Thursday, instead of
Wednesday, as originally fixed. The object they have in
thus altering the ball is, that it is proposed to be a " full
dress " reunion, intended for the celebration of the Birthday
Drawing-room.

A trotting match for 251. a side came.off this morning, be-
tween a light bay galloway, thirteen halids, and a bay cob,
fourteen hands high. The parties to whom they belong re-
side in the neighbourhood of Dorset-square :—The distance
was from Regent's-park to Windsor, between twenty-three
and twenty-four miles. The galloway was ridden by its
owner, and the cob was driven in a heavy gig. The match

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY, &C.,
AT Woormicri.—Lieutenant-General Baron de Stjernerona,
Aide-de-Camp of the late King 'of Sweden, accompanied by
Baron Charles Bjornstjerna, an officer in thei Swedish llorse
Guards, and the eldest son of General Count Bjornstjerna,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary for Swe-
den at the British Court, with Count Rosen, arrived at Wool-
wich yesterday, and at twenty minutes past two o'clock pro-
ceeded from the residence of Lieutenant-GeneralLord Bloom-
field, G.C.B. and G.C.H., to view the different departments
of the Royal Arsenal. At twenty minutes to four o'clock
the three troops of Royal Horse Artillery in the garrison as-
sembled on the common in review order, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe, end on the arrival on the
ground of the distinguished party, the troops passed at a
walking pace, a trot, and at full gallop, to the evident admi-
ration of the gallant. officers who had come to Woolwich to
witness the proficiency of this fine corps. The troops then
went through the whole of the evolutions of a review-day,
Which occupied upwards of an hour, and when they dis-
mounted their guns and rested upon them, the Lieutenant-
General went up to Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe, and expressed
his entire approbation of the whole he had witnessed. The
troops, after remounting their guns, fired in an incredibly
short space of time, and then returned to their quarters.
