HIS MAJESTY'S GRAND BALL.

His MaJes,ry gays a grand ball on Thursday evening,
_semblage,. compmed of the 'ambers of the Royal Family,
at his Palace in St. James's, to a very numerous as-
the Foreign Ainbassatblrs and Ministers, and their Ladies,
the Cabinet Minister,i, the great Officers of State, and a
large body of the Nobility and Gentry. The ball was as
s'plrndid,,with reference to the appearance of the ladies, as
a drawing-room, owing to an inrim..tion on the invitation
cards that. they were to come in 11.11 dress, with feathers
the effect was, even more magnificent than at a drawing..
room, the diamonds-and jewels in the head-dresses of the
ladies, and also the dresses, showing to more advantage in
an evening than during the day time. As is customary,
the dresses were principally new for the occasion. The
gentlemen ill came in full Court. dresses.
At the Palace the Officers of the Household and his Ma-
jesty's Pages, appeared in their State dresses; a numerous
party of the Yeomen Guard, who were in attendance, wore
their coronation dresses.

The State Rooms were prepared for the bail ; the draw-
ing-room adjoining the ball-room WAS also used as a ball-
room, and the orchestra (in which the celebrated band of
Messrs. MonAu, Coma/cm', and MURARD, were sta-
tioned) was erected between the two rooms, a portion of
the performers being on either side of the partition which
separated the apartment, so that the company could dance
in both rooms. In the Throne-room card-tables were set
out. The Picture Gallery had tables extending its whole
length, at which the company were served with refresh-
ments. On each table were massive silver candelabra,
hearing a great number of wax-lights, the middle sur-
mounted with the figure of a lion, standing on a crown,
'Post beautifully executed.

At a quarter before nine o'clock, a detachment of the
Royal Horse Guards, forming a guard of honour, arrived
at the entrance to the Palace, opposite to the Royal Ger-
man Chapel. The band of the regiment arrived at the
gime time, and were stationed in the Guard-room, usually
occupied-by the Yeomen Guard, where they performed
several charming pieces in the course of the night. The
Yeomen Guard were stationed along the coaridor leading
from the entrance (at which the company sat down) to the
foot of the grand staircase ; two of them were stationed on
the binding of the staircase, and two of the tallest men in
the corps, each six feet three inches in height, were placed
at the top of the staircase. The company began to arrive
at the Palace at half-past nine o'clock, and with but little
intermission continued setting down during the space of
an hour and a half. The Royal Family entered by the
Palace court-yard.
The Princess AUGUSTA was the first who arrived ; her
Royal Highness was attended by Lady MARY TAYLOR.
On passing through the guard-room, the Princess was sa-
luted by the band playing " God save the King."
The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, attended by
Lady J. THYNNE, and Colonel HIGGINS ; the Duchess of
KENT, attended by her lady-in-waiting, Lady ST. Mania,
and Sir Joux CONROY ; Prince LEOPOLD, attended by
Sir ROBERT GARDINER, followed, and were severally re-
ceived by Sir ANnar.w BARNARD, the Equerry in Wait-
ing, who conducted them to the State-room, the band of
the Royal Horse Guards playing " God save the King"
es they passed,
The Duke of CUMBERLAND, and the Princess Sorora
111.am.na. of GLOUCESTER, entered the Palace by the
KING'S private entrance.

HIS MAJESTY entered the state rooms at ten o'clock,
habited in a Field Marshal's uniform, and wearing the in-
signia of several orders, British and Foreign. The KING
having received the congratulations of the party assembled,
tank his seat in the hall room, in the same part as at the
juvenile bill, the Royal Family arranging themselves on
either side of hint. The company were then formed into
sets for quadrilles, and the ball commenced with the first
set of quadrilles. Throughout the evening the first set of
quadrilles was danced, and on each repetition was either
followed by waltzing or a dance recently introduced into
this country from the Continent, named "La Gallopade,"
which appeared to be a great favourite, from the number
of times it was repeated. The Princess ESTElill AZ Y, the
Earl of Ce.sxwmr.eam, the Duke of DEVONSIIIRE, and
some of the Foreign Ministers, exerted themselves in
teaching the company the movements of this dance.
At one o'clock the company proceeded to the banquet-
ting-room, in which the supper was laid out. The ap-
pearance of this apattment was most magnificent. In the
middle of the apartment was a long table ornamented with
the same splendid4rmtre-pieces as at the grand dinner
party, with canditkpra interspersed between them. At
both sides of the-tiim, tables were laid the whole length,
ornamented with centre-pieces, with or-molu candelabra
at intervals. Bath the centre. and side tables were almost
covered with articles of gold and silver plate, containing
the greatest possible variety of made dishes, together with
abundance of the rarest fruits, ices, - &c. At the west end
of the room was the -lofty and eapationa sideboard of gold
Plate, forming a splendid object to the company on entering-
at the opposite side of the room. The five masssive chande-
liers by which this room was illuminated added to its im-
posing effect, and, combined with its lofty height, and the
stylein w
hich it is fitted up, all the mouldings which
divide its sides into compartments being gilt, made its
appearance truly superb. Among the interesting articles
of plate on the sideboard, was the national cup, designed
by FLA :KHAN, in the most exquisite taste, embellished
with the badges of the patron saints of England, Ireland,
and Scotland, executed in diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and
sapphires, of great value. The cover of the cup was sur-
mounted with St. George-and the dragon, and the badge
of the Order of the Garter. Some of the cups were en-
circled with medallions carved in ivory, others had dif-
ferent subjects represented in the compartments of their
sides, from the designs of BENYVENUTO CELLINI.
_ . _

The members of the Royal Family sat at the top of the
centre tlble during the supper. The band of the Royal
Horse Guards played several pieces during the repast.
Dancing was kept up with great spirit by the company
in the ball-room till three o'clock, when his 3IAJESTY
took his departure, the quadrille band plying " God save
the King." After that time a portio❑ of the company re-
mained in the ball-room dancing till half-past four o'clock,
when the ball closed.

The tiaras of some of the ladies were very brilliant, and
the display of valuable diamonds and jewels profuse.
Among the most magnificent were those of the Mar-
chioness Of LONDONDERRY, Countess MUNSTER, Lady
WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY, Hon. Mrs. HOPE, Countess of
LONSDALE, Lady FARNEOROUGU, Lady STANLEY, Mar-
chioness of EXETER. The Princess LIEVEN wore a
wreath composed of diamonds intermingled with artificial
flowers. The dresses were some of them remarkable for
their richness, The Marchioness of STAFFORD wore a
dark dress, superbly embroidered with gold.
The arrangements at the entrance to the Palace, oppo-
site to the Royal German Chapel, to prevent any obstruc-
tion to the company in alighting from and returning to
their carriages, were complete, a temporary barricade
being erected to prevent the crowd collected on these 4acca-
sinus from pressing forward to the annoyance of the com-
pany, and sufficient space was enclosed in the Arcade for
two carriages to take up or set down at a time. The dis-
position of the carriages, as regulated by the Marshalmen,
and by Messrs. Townsend and Sayer, the officers,
were such, that they were brought up as they were
called for without the least confusion or _inconvenience,
alth iugb, owing to the party being so large, they were
ray numerous. Among the company were the Loan
CHANCELLOR.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Susannah Gibbs, aged 16, a good-looking girl, was
capitally indicted for stealing an emerald ring of consider-
able value, the property of her master, Mr. Delves, jeweller.
The case was clearly proved. Verdict—Guilty—Death.
The Jury and prosecutor strongly recommended the pri-
soner to mercy, which recommendation the Learned Judge
said should be attended to.

Thomas Worts, aged IS (described in the calendar as
a draper), was indicted for uttering a forged order for tie
payment of 41. I3s. 7d., with intent to defraud the Go-
vernor and Company of the Bank of England.
Mr. Sergeant .BOSANQUET, with whom was Mr. Bot-
LAND, conducted the prosecution.

Win. Obadiah Wheeler, a Clerk in the Bank of Eng-
land, stated that on a Saturday in May, the prisoner re-
queste.l cash for the cheque now produced. Witness
asked him who he received it of, he said Mr. Ridgway.
Suspecting it to be forged, he sent for an officer who took
the prisoner into custody.
By Mr. ADOLPHUS-The Bank of England pay no
cheques under five pounds, except under peculiar circum-
stances.

Charlotte Curtis stated that she lived at a coffee-house
in Little Queen-street. The prisoner came to lodge there
the beginning of May, after he had been staying a few
days witness had occasion to take up a bundle belonging.
to him, when some sand ran out, this excited her suspi-
cion, and she communicated it to her mister, who exa-
mined the bundle, and amongst other things found it con-
tained a quantity of blank cheques, such as are used at the
Bank of England.
The officer who took the prisoner into custody said, he
told him that he found the_cheque un Snow-hill; that he
had looked over the newspapers, and not finding it adver-
tised, he considered he had a right to use it. Witness
searched the prisoner's lodgings mad found a blank sheet,
which, upon comparing with the cheque, he found it
agreed, the cheque having been cut from it ; the numbers
on the sheet and the cheque corresponded.

•
By Mr. Anowius—ille prisoner did not hesitate to
state where he lodged.
Mr. lIALLA3I proved that the cheque, purporting to be
drawn by Parrinton and Co. was not in the hand-writing
of either of the partners in that firm, or of any oue au-
thorised to sign their name. The prisoner used to be in
the employ of Messrs. Parrinton.
The prisoner made no defence.
A gentleman, named Hunter, gave him a good eha•.
ratter.

Mr. Baron HuLLocs: summed up, and the Jury te-
turned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him
to mercy.

George Skelton, tailor, (aged 21), was indicted for
uttering a forged bill of exchange anti ac..eptance tar 2001.,

stated by the Learned Counsel ; and the examination was
proceeding when our reporter left.
