ASSIZE OF BREAD.-The following very proper
Notice has been issued by the LORD MAYOR ; dated
Mansion-House, August 10, 1818 :
" In consequence of the want of correctness in the manner of
making the Returns of Meal or flour bought within the City o.
London, and the weekly Bills of Mortality, and within ten mile;
of the Royal Exchange, arising prineipally from the non-01.-
servance of the Bth Section of the Act, passed In the 37th Year
of his trestnt Majesty's Reign, which directs, that the price
shall be absolutely fixed at the time of Sale and before the deli,
very, and shall not depend upon any future market price or other
contingency, under the penalty of Twenty Pounds on both
Buyer and Seller, the Lord Mayor is unable to fix the Assize of
Bread with justice to the Public.
" The Lord Mayor, therefore, gives this Notice to tlie Trade
that he feels himself most imperatively called upon to put thu
penal Clauses of the Act in force to the full extent ; and particu-
larly against all persons who shall sell and deliver or resew: auv
Meal or Flour without a regular Bill of Parcel:, setting for; h tt.e
true price actually agreed upon, according to the tlituctions o:
the said Act. order of his Lordship,
FIANCIS Honest, Clerk."
On the above Notice we may observe, that &tie
are about 1700 Bakers mostly under the influence of
the Miller, who is now also both factor and merchant,
and that nothing short of laying the trade open t,
competition can ratecly the existing evil.

The Natal -Day oflais Royal Itiglinits the Duke
1 of YOEK was marked by a most elegant eitertaiii-
ment given by the Qtrenit, at Frogmort Ledge. 'Me
preparations on the occasion were tinder-MOM*.
diate direction' of the , Princess Etrzarfsrit, 'whose
taste is too well known to require eulCgy. Eve. y
chaste and handsome decoration fancy could suggest
was adopted, and indeed the tout ensemble was equal
to those pleasing scenes of Oriental splendour which,
in detail, have so often charmed us Europeans.. 'The
weather was peculiarly auspicious, and thefttensued
upon the lawn. The tents used on the occasion were
those taken from TIPPOO SAIB by the late Marquis
CORNWALLIS, and presented to the QUEEN. That in
which her Majesty dined was Tippoo's own tent.. It
i is of an octagon form, and truly magnificent. The
outside was strong oil cloth, and the top exhibited.
evident marks of Eastern splendour. The inside
was lined with printed cotton, with yellow borders.
The four sides resembled India shawls, as did the
curtains. The back part was ornamented with the
Ptunc's feathers, composed of hydrangias, roses,
&c. wider the crest were G. P. R. also formed of
flowers, very appropriately surrounded by wreaths of
laurel, in honour of the Marquis of WELLINGTON'S
brilliant victory over the enemy. On the right and
lett the letters F. and W. made likewise of the most
choice flowers, procured from the island in Frogeaore
Gardena. wisiet, had a very pleasing effect. The
QUEEN and PRINCESSES arrived from the Castle at 11
o'clock. The new plateau desert 'service, made of
fillagree, executed uncle• the orders of her Majesty,
was displayed on thi., occasion, and for beauty, taste,
and workmanship, is not to be equalled in this coun-
try. The large centre piece exhibited his-MaaEsTY,
in his lull ccronation robes, and is esteemed a very
good likeness: over the figure are festoons, part fil-
lagree and part chased silver ; and over the King's
head, a dove, most beautifully formed. In addition
to the plateau a large quantity of chased plate was I
used. The outside posts of the tent were decorated
in a most charming maiater, with heaths, &c. &c.
On each side of her MAJESTY'S tent were stationed
two long tents, similarly ornamented. At the end
of these were two smaller tents to correspond, in the
banydi and'
other
of which were hung hay-rakes, hoes, and other
i rnpiementsof agriculture. The whole was surrounded

tents were so well arranged, that they appeared like
one long table. A party of the Blues (dismounted)
and of the 55th, stationed at Windsor, were admitted
into the Gardens, which had a very good effect.
The company began to assemble at half-past four.
The QUEEN and PmmotssEs, who had retired from
FrogmOre. returned again by five o'clock. About
half-past five the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by
the Earl of YARMOUTH and Colonel IfiLootartELD, ar-
rived from London, in Lis travelling carriage, with;
three out-riders. Dinner was then ordered to he
served up with all dispatch. On the Royal Family
passing to their tent, the bands of the Royal Horse
Guards and 15th Light Dragocns, played the Na-
tional Air of 46 God save the, King." The QUEEN
took the centre of the table, the •Plitscg REGENT on'
her left, and the Duke of YORK on her right. The
Duke of CLARENCE presided at the right tent, and
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE at the left. The dinner con-
sisted of every delicacy the season afforded.
The dessert likewise exhibited the choicest fruits,
&c the country could furnish, which was admirably
arranged by his Majesty's confetti incr.
On the health of the KING being given, all the com-
pany stood up, while the bands played " God save
the King." They continued playing during the whole
of the evening, which had a delightful effect, pro-
duced from the wind instruments in the echo from the
water. On the day-light disappearing the top of the
covered way of the Pavilion was brilliantly Mimi-
, natcd with variegated lamps, forming G. I'. It. over
them a crown; on the right and left of them were
F. and W. on each of them were crowns. There
were also stars, wreaths, and other devices. This
display was opposite the QuCEN9S tent.
About half past eight o'clock the company left the
tents and retired to the Pavilion ; the Royal Family
and' the principal 'part of them to the large romp
usua ly used as a dining room, adjoining the Library,
where the QuezN's hand in their full uniform were
assembled, and performed a concert of instrumental
music. Others of the company promenaded the Pa-
vilion, and retired to conversation partiei in different
moms, where coffee, tea, &c. were serves up in a very
superior style.
The concert concluded about eleven o'clock, when
tae Royal Party retired from Frngmore.
