annual fete at Holy Lodge was not given on the 16th
lust ; but, as a substiute, a ball was given on Monday
night, at the Duke of St. Alban's town residence in
Stratton-street. The cards were issued at a very shim
notice, which, in conjunction with the state of his
Majesty's health, probably tended to lessen the number
of visitors, which did not exceed from 150 to 200
persons. The apartments were in the ordinary style of
arrangement ; the vestibule and staircase were crowded
with a profusion of the most flagrant flowers, in full
bloom ; the shrubbery was Muminated. Weippert's
band was in attendance. The Company left at an early
hour.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.—This day a Quarterly General
Court of the Proprietors of East India Stock was held at

prietors the draft of a bill now before Parliament, " for
the relief of the representatives of persons who have
died intestate in the Presidency of Madras, and for
the relief of the suitors of the Supreme Court
of Judicature at Madras." Soon after 12 o'clock, Mr.
ASTILL took his seat, and intimated that the Court of
Directors had come to the resolution, that a dividend of
five and a fourth per cent. had been agreed to by the
Board. The question being put, was unanimously car-
ried.—The Court was left at two o'clock, in deliberation
on the Registrar of Madras Bill.
