growing flowers, trees of various descriptions, forming
an alcove, and descending to a level with the bottom
of the stained glass window, on which ale the Royal

lightful effect. The other end of the conservatory,
adjoining the large room called the King's dining-
room, was set apart for dancing; the floor of the room
was tastefully and fancifully chalked for the occasion.
The room and stairs were most gratifyingly perfumed
with growing flowers.

The Juvenile Visitors, accompanied by their pa,
rents and friends, began to arrive soon after eigh
o'clock, and were conducted into the presence of the
KING by -Mr. MESSENGER and Mr. LIN, the State
Pages. His MAJESTY received them all in the most
affable and unreserved manner, and his familiar ea-
re.ses relieved their infantine feelings from embar-
rassment at the idea of being in the presence of the
KING, together with being in the midst of such a nu-
merous assemblage, everything being strange to their
tender years. Soon after nine o'clock, the KiNo
commanded the band to commence playing, which
consisted of twelve performers, under the direction
of Mr. KRAMER.
Dancing quadrilles continued, with some intermis-
sions, till nearly twelve o'clock, when the company
retired to supper. The Royal Banquet was prepared
in the Gothic room at the east end of the suite of,
rooms. The Kis° intermixed with the children in
the most condescending manner during the whole of
the evening, and his affable conduct will no doubt be
strongly impressed on the minds and feelings of the
rising generation present on this delightful and inte-
resting occasion. After supper the juveniles were
sent to their respective residences. The merry dance
[ was then commenced by the parents and others,
which they continued till a late hour.
