COMMUNICATION FROM MR: PEEL, WITH RESPECT

TEE nuirE Or CLARENCE'S GRAND

ENTERTAINMENT.

The Duke and Duchess of Clareneo gave a grand en-
tertainment on Monday evening, at their residence in
Bushy Park, to the young Queen of Portugal. Most of
the neighhocring nobility and gentry, some of the Foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, and a
numerous party of the nobility and gentry, with the
juvenile branches of their respective families, were invited
to the entertainment. Preparations fur the party had
been made at Bushy House for some days previous ; • the
saloon had been fitted up as a ballroom, and had been
tastefully chalked ky Mr. Glover, of London. In the
centre were the Royal Arms of England ; at rune end of
the apartment was the Order of the Garter, and at the
other the initials "G. R." A temporary orchestra was
erected in the apartment for the quadrille band; a mas-
sive chandelier was hung in the centre of the room.
The steps at whirls the company alighted leading to the
hall were enclosed. As the visitors were expected to
be very numerous, Messrs. Townsend and Sayer were
in attendanos to give directions for the regulation of the
carriages.
The company began to 'strive at six o'clock. The
temporary entrance at which they sat down was bril-
liantly illuminated with variegated lamps, and had its
front ornamented with two ancleore, one on each side,
with cables attar:fled, and a large star in the middle ; the
pillars at the extremities were h ung their entire height
with variegated lamps. On the sides of the entrance were
formed four Gothic arches of double rows of lamps. The
end of the entrance adjoining the ball was hung with lamps
in different devices.

In the auidel]e of the front of the mansion was a large
star, with a Crown with G. R. IV., & c.
In the grand hall were stationed tic band of the Grena-
dier Guards, in full regimentals, led by their Rueter,
Blaney; the livery-servants of the Duke and Duchess's
Pleneehold lined the sides of the hail, and announced the
names of the company as they arrived, which were tele-
graphed by the Pages into the drawing-room. The
company, after passing through the grand hall, entered
the Duchess's drawing-room, and from thence were usher-
ed thiough some bouduirs to the south drawing-room,
where they were received by the Royal host and hostess.
The Young Queen of Portugal arrived at seven o'clock
with her suite, in two carriages and four. Her Majesty
was attended by the Marquis de Ihrbacena, the Countess
Itagipe, the Chevalier Sahianha, and Dr. Pereira. The
Queen was received on alighting from her carriage by the
Duke and Duchess of Clarence, who conducted her Ma-
jesty to the ball-room. The band of the Grenadier Guards
played their regimental march (that in Scipio composed by
Handel) on her Majesty's arrival. The Duke and Duchess
introduced the assembled party to the young Queen. The
quadrille band, of nine performers, led by Mr. Kent, com-
menced playing directly after her Majesty's arrival. Sets
of quadrilles were arranged by Mr. Henry Kendon, Dancing
Master to the Queen, who officiated as toaster of the cere-
monies to the juveniles. Her Majesty danced with the
sons of the Foreign Ambassadors, in the order in which
they rank at this Court, having for her partner in the first
set, Prince George Lieven (son of the Russian Ambassa-
dor) ; the Queen danced iu the next set with the son of
Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador; and in the
following with Count Calerge, the eldest sou of the Mar-
quis de Pahnella.

The company continued setting down till half-past seven
o'clock ; some of the visitera brought as many as seven
children. The band of the Grenadier Guards played a
number of pieces from the works of Handel, Weber, Ros-
sini, Paccini, &e., the celebrated march composed for
Duonaparte's coronation, and other marches, in a very
superior style.
Quadrilles were danced during the evening, till just
previous to the company proceeding to supper, when a
country dance was called for (the Brazilian, so named by
Mr. Hendon, in honour of the Queen), which was led oil
by the young Queen and Master Arthur Wood, son ofCol.
Wood. The young Queen appeared to enjoy the change,
and danced remarkably well. At the conclusion of this
(lance, it being ten o'clock, the Duke of Clarence conducted
her Majesty out of the ball-room to the apartments on the
first flour, in one of which a hot supper was served;
the Marquis of Barbacena conducted the Duchess of
Clarence, and was followed by the Foreign Amhara:l-
- and Ministers, and their ladies. After the depar-
ture of her Majesty from the ball-room, waltzing was in-
troduced for a short time; quadrilles were afterwards re-
sumed, till past ten o'clock, when clawing ceased, and the
company were ushered into the old dining-room, where a
very elegant supper was laid out for them. The Grenadier
baud played seine charming pieces during the supper.
The young Queen of Portugal and her suite retired at
I I ij't.L.C}: lff*stF ryas conducted to her• ver.i.s.ge by

FIGHT BETWEEN YANDELL AND DUDLEY
DOWNS.

This little match for 25/. a-side came off yesterday.
The cold, very cold, state of the weather, as a matter of
course, thinned the attendance of the Fancy not a little;
but nevertheless there were some to see the fight. Shir-
ley's, at Staines, Was the rallying p&nt, and there the mus-
ter was observed duly, either by passing calls for inquiries,
or full stoppages to eat and drink.
Dudley has fought twice previous to this ; his first fight
he won cleverly; in his second he snide a good battle, but
was compelled to give in to Jack Tisdale. Dudley is by
profession a typographer, a native of the capital of the
Emerald Isle, who, with a hearty love for the science of
pugilism, left his own dear country, a comfortable home,
kind relatives, and many friends, to toss up his hat, not for
fortune, but fur fame only, on the less green sward of Eng-
land. During hie residence in this country he has grown
much in esteem, both as regarded his claims as a fighting-
man of light weight and as a good-natured, quiet, unas-
suming meek sort of man in common life.
Yandell is an old stager, and has been in the ring now,
at least, for ten years. Of late "he wanted flesh," and
had fallen off in estimation ; he was matched against
Young Ned Crafer, whom he beat, but his appearance on
that day was unpromising, and he did not far redeem his
falling reputation. But he has since been under the aus-
pices of Jem Burn, of the Red Horse, and it would seem
has in some measure followed his young master's example.
Jem is a moderate living young man ; he eats bat once
a-day, but—that is all day long. Jean has consequently
waxed fat,—Yandell, in apcing his betters, has likewise
made weight.--Ide who, when snatched with Dudley, was
old-looking, shrivelled, and spent, yesterday came out
hale and hearty, seemingly a fresh man of 10 stone 4lbs.,
well trained ; while poor Dudley was only 9 stone 2 lb.
Yandell had experience of generalship and tactics in his
favour by acquirement, and of natural endowments, he
had weight, height, and length of arm. To encounter
these, Dudley had only youth and an ambition to " win a
good battle."
At Shirley's the dice was given far Wingfield Plain.
The ring was there fixed, and thither the men, and the
followers of the men, repaired.
They entered the arena of the contest. Yandell had
for his seconds Jens Burn and Jack Carter. Dudley had
the attention of Tom Gaynor and Reuben Martin. Ilse
odds were on Dudley sto 4. On setting to the disparity
of bulk was very obvious. Dudley, who is neat in atti-
tude, eyed his man from top to toe, and from head to foot,
and seemed to think a despairing glance ; and it was only
a thought, for he went to work with grace and gravity,
and fought beautifully and bravely. But the age of miracles
has ceased. Dudley could do no more than he was able,
and all that he could do was not sufficient to turn it so
that he could have lead. Yandell soon felt his weight, and
with a tatse' :ng seeming generosity, was full of compliment
to Dudley, whom he kept telling, " yen an-:, good man,"
and eeelly pretested against the chaffing of poor Dowss.
In the fight, Dudley, although he sheered guo,i—
more than passing good notion—could not make his points
bear. Opposed to so much superior weight and length, it
behoved him to keep out to spar, tight slow, and look for
points ; but of this the weather would not admit, being so
cold it required a buoy turn to keep him on his legs, and
this he could only do by fighting with Yandell, and when
he did so, the other's personal advantages gave him all the
best of the counter-hitting. Yandell bad received one left-
bander above the right eye that had cut it a little, but still
left the day-light unimpaired ; and two right-handers on
the left side, that marked their visits. Dudley was dark
in one eye, and the other or, the point of eclipse. Ile had
a gash in the forehead, and his nose shattered about a bit
and streaming claret like a fountain.
This was the state of the game at the end of the 37th
round ; they bad fought then one hour and twelve minutes,
when two Magistrates appeared and spoiled the sport.
The whole body repaired to Shirley's again, and after
some delay, set cut for Shepperton Range, where a fresh
ring was made. Dudley was dragged out of bed, and
taken here ; but one cause of delay followed another, until
it was too late, being hard upon six o'clock, and as it be-
came so dark the time-keeper holding the watch could not
" see time," and tine battle, with some quantum of wordy
warfare, was given up for the time being.
The tight now remains on doubtful ground, but a meet-
ing was agreed upon for to-night, at Jem Burn's, the Red
Horse, Bond-street, to settle the point.

JENI WARD AND STMON BYUNr.- The fourth deposit
for this match w;11 be made this evening at Hurry Hulett,

Baowx AND DOBELL.—The fourth deposit for the
match between these two " first-raters," will be made to-
morrow evening, at Tom Cribb's, Manton-street, Hay-
market.

a lion in his lace battle with Young, will take a sparring
benefit this evening, at Howard's Coffee-horse, St. James's-
place, Aldgate. Some scientific exhibitions are expected.
