state of bustle, which was considerably heightened
by invitation cards,- to the number of about 400,

' ed up with the higher orders purchasing articles of
dress and ornaments for the two occasions. The
Qualm's jewels were removed from the Bank for the

receive her numerous visitors and presentations, &c.
with her usual affability. It was extremely crowded,

unbearable, and numbers staid away on this account.
