A mafquerade in London creates confiderable
fatinn : what then mull it do where fuch a fcene is
fo novel ? Lord COORTINAT'3, at Powderham Car-
tle, being the lad given in that part of the country;
never was there a more Interelling affemblaie ; Nit,
humour, and. reparteathdd their ran (cope. Dancing
commenced at an early hour; and continued until one
o'clock, when the company fat down to fupper, which
confided of every delicacy of the feafon. There was
a great variety of charafters, admirably fupported.
The company feparated at an early hour on Wed-
nefday morning,

Lord Moles left town yefterday morning, at three
o'clock, for Scotland, accompanied by Lord Emus.
VoLoaTraas.—On Thurfday left, on Kennington
Common, the jnnftion between the Lathbeth Volun-
teers and the Chrift Church Sisley Affociation took
Place- The Lambeth were drawn up in line, with
their front to the forth of the Common, waiting for
the arrival of the ChM* Chard; who, in a Mort
time, advanced and formed another line in &Oat of,
and facing the Lambeth. The corps immediately
faluted each other by opening ranks and prefenting
arms; after which Colonel SLitne and Major Lan-
cern& advanced, each half way, Ir. front of their
refpedive corps. The conference between three two
Gentlemen being over, they called nut their officer's
and prefented them to each other. The Chritt Church
then took the Ration appointed fbr there between
the battalion and light company ' • and as they were
doing this they were cheered by three buzzes from
the Lambeth, which they immediately anfwered.—
Colonel SLADI then advanced to the front of the re•
giment, and in a very animated and manly fpeech,
congratulated theirs upon the etent that had taken
place, which *as fucceeded by another from Major
LANCASTER. After the janftion had taken place,
this regiment formed a brigade with the tft Surreys
with whom they performed a great many military
-evolutions, which did infinite credit to both. It cer-
tainly is only juftice to fay, that, confidering the
Chrift Church have been unufed to aft in a Inge
body, they acquired themfelves very well, and to
the latisfaftion of everybody relent. Their Officers
know their duty ; and great credit is due to them for
their exertions in bringing about the union.
The Wigtnnlhire Battalion of Volunteer Infantry
are now doing permanent duty at Stunner, for 14
days t this is the fecond time this year that this regi
bunt has been out on permanent duty. The exem-
plary conduit of this Regiment *NM in quarters,
deferves every potlible commendation.
On Wednefday a drummer in the Bth Loyal Lon-
don Volunteers, was tried by a Court Martial for dif-
obedience of orders ; and yefterday morning he was
efcorted by a guard to its head•quarters, in Draper's
Gardens, and there divefted of his regimentali, and
drummed from left to right of the regiment, after
which he was marched round the Ward to which he
was drummer, and then difmiffed.

Extraft of a Letter from Demerara, dated Anglia

The expcnce of the approaching Coronation is ex-
peeled to exceed, in a tenfold ratio, that of any of
the legal Monarchs that ever frayed the French
fceptre. A paper has been circulated at Paris, en-
titled " An authentic Lift of Sovereigns, Subjefts,
and States, who are to contribute to the espences of
the Coronation of his Imperial MajeIIy,NAPOLSON I.
Emperor of the French." It is fuppofed to have
