FIELD DAY AND FETE AT HOUNSLOW.

[EXTRACT of A LETTER.]
In expectation or witnessine the Grand Review
of the Cavalry at Hounslow Heath by the PraNce
REGENT, an immense assemblage of persons of
every rank and description took place on Satur-
day. Indisposition was assigned as the cau'e of
his Royal Highness's absence, and the review was
in consequence postponed. There were, notwith-
standing, a considerable muster of troops (the
Lance Brigade), who went through the usual
evolutions with much promptitude and skill ; it'
was called a field-day. After the inspection the
Officers of the 19th gave a magnificent Fete Chain-
petre to a thousand persons on the Barrack-green.
A superb marquee, called the Regent's 'lent,
(which was brought from the Tower expressly for
the purpose), was fitted up in the most fanciful
style possible, and was named the Temple of Flora,
from the vast pt:.ofusion .ot natural and •artificisl
flowers with which it was adorned. In this fra-
grant bower covers were laid for 70 distinguished
personages on one table. Another (toupee called
the Long Tent, being 70 yards in length, was
supported by 15 beautiful columns, decorated with
flowers; covers therein were laid for 530 at one
time ; and the relays accommodated 400 more,
making altogether the 1000 before specified. The
collation consisted of hot and cold roasts and
soup, shell-fish of all sorts,• all kinds of fruits,
such as melons, grapes, plums, peaches, necta-
rines, cherries, and strawberries. Choice wines
of the first vintages, in Champagne, Hock, Bu-
Mks, Claret, Coostantia, Barsac, Paccaratti, and
Madeira. lees (15 sorts) were introduced, as a
general remove, alter the hot roasts. The com-
pany sat down to table at half-past two o'clock.
About five dancing; commenced on • the lawn, to
the music of the admirable bands belonging to the
9th, 12t1i, and 19th, the Lance brigade.—lt was a
magnificent spectacle, alone, to see upwards of
200 splendid equipages in waiting on the heath,
all sporting full sets of horses (six each) with out-
riders and postillions .in full liveries. The fête
was superintended by the Hon. Colonel \VvxD•
HAM, eldest son of the Earl of EGREMONT, who
invited all the neighbouring Gentry ; mostly all
time Nobility came from town, and all were highly
gratified.—. The banquet was conducted by Messrs.
FULLER and CAMP, from Londoo.. We. had a
'most delightful day, not too hot, No accident of
.any description occurred, to disturb, the universal
harmony which prevailed. The liberality of the
patrons of the feast extended even to the bands
and the non-commissioned officers, who partook
of the repast at a later hour ; and about seventy of
the select friends of the Officers kept up the metry
dance until a late hour in the evening. They
danced on a temporary platform, in the Temple of
Flora, till midnight, it being illuminated by wax
lights and branches.
