THE 01

fTER-T-AINMENT.

Lest sight the Guildhall was again lighted up,. and the skill of the
superintendents of this most noble edifice was fully and magnificently
exhibited. It appeared to the Committee that the chandeliers suspended
from the ceiling in the hall hung too low, and thus presented an tipped:.
meat to the eye in its view item the throne to the east end of the building.
This defect has been remedied by raising the lights 18 or 20 feet higher,
and it was found that the alteration was productive of another good effect.
that °feasting a greater brilliancy upon all the surrounding objects. The
throne is nearly complete, and the drapery round it gives the most ex-
quisite relief to the deeding splendour of the crown which stands above.
The hunting's walls are covered with enormous pier glasses, the effect of
which when the lights were all burning it is impossible to describe.—
Those who witnessed the scene considered it as the prelude to a minor
coronation. The walls at the bottom of the hall are also covered with
pier asses.
At the royal table, at which none but the Royal Family will dine
will be seated, besides the Zing and Queen, His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge, His Royal
Highness the Duke of Cumberland and Prince George of Comber.
lard His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent md the Primes Victoria, theft Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of (detester, Her Royal Higherthe Princess Au.
gusts, and the Princess Carobath. This table will be loaded with geld and
ether plate. An estimate of the quantity of plate used upon the occasion
may be made ikon the fact that 211,0011ounees of silver (forks and spoons
alone) will be seen upon the tables. Although the workmen have
accomplished • great deal within the last week, it will be ne-
cessary, so grand and extensive is the scale of the entertainment, that
the eight should be devoted to labour in this majestic building as well
as the day, in order that the details may be equally retest. The King's
withdeawing-room was the next apartment visited. This the dtiaens
knew under the name of the " Aldermen's Court." It is a small
loom, but it is difficult to imagine an thing more beautiful than
the manner in which it is laid out. Aldamas Gilleland, who has
erandsed a most loyal and patriotic spirit in more instances than
soe, on this occasion supplied a pair of chandeliers of a new and
most costly description, which are to be sent off to India immediately
after the feast. The walls of the room are hung with Gobelin ta-
pestry, on which is represented " The Feast of the Gods." The
private communication between this withdietwing-room or Alder.
men's Court and the general drawing.roosn, or Common, Council
Chamber has been thrown open, and a grand passage has been made by
which the King will enter the latter. The general drawing.room is
fitted out with a magnificence corresponding with that of the peat ball.
The walls are partially covered with fluted crimson cloth, and the fine
pictures, which have so long embellished the ehsmhev. looked as
if the hand of the artist had just given them their last touch.
The reading-room of the members of the Corperadon is to be con-
verted into a withdlawing-room for her Majesty. The above is a
meagre description of the building as it appeared last night, and the
rapidity with which the improvements were made since Monday night
Is a sufficient test of the spirit with which the Committee are acting.
It has been found necessary to issue imperative mien for the exclusion
until the day of the entertainment, of all persons, with the tion of
the Committee and those engaged in the preparations. One of the Com-
mittee was heavily fined for having admitted a lady and gentleman yes.
terday into the Hall. In fact the arrangements are such that not the
slightest movement can be made without the consent of the whole Com-
mittee.

The following is a correct statement of the order of procession, and
the mode of receiving their majesties. and of the conduct to be observed
after their majesties shall have entered the Hall :
The Lord blayor will set out bora the Mansion House at
eine o'clock in the morning, in his state carriage, drawn by six
horses. Instead of proceeding to the Guildhall, as is usual on ordinary
occasions, he will drive through his own (Longbows) ward. The pro-
cession wW go through Cornhill, Leadenhall-street, Billiter-streets
Fenchurch-street, Lombard-street, the Poultry, Cheapside, St. Paul's
chutchiard, Ludgate.bill, and on to Blackfriars-bridge share the
Lord Mayor will enter the bergs. At Westminster, after his introduc-
tion to the Barons of the Exchequer, his Lordship's procession will be
joined by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who will be in readiness in his
state carriage, and it is expected that the will leave the courts
