the Hall; that end of the Hall, as high as the win-
dow, was hung round with crimson cloth, ornament-
ed at top with a festooned drapery of the same ; the
full length likeness of the King and Queen, two
superb paintings, -ornamented this end of the Hall;
and between and on each side were lucking-;lasses
equal in size to the paintings, and which reflected
the entire of the company in the Hall. At the en-
trance there was an avenue across the Hall, with six
tables on each side, leading to the steps going to the
Court of King's Bench ; at the top of those steps in
the eassage, over the centre door, was a most beast-
tis.ll transparency of his present Maj.'sty, seated in
his coronation robes, with his sceptre in his tight
hand, and appears to have been executed when his
Majesty wet about 41) years of age. This transpa-
rency is the first object that attracts the eye on enter-
ing the Hall. The tables were most superbly orna-
mented with trinniebal arches, meialsions, temples,
military and naval trophies, beaufets of flowers, &c.
and illuminated with a vast number of candelabras.
'HIE COURT OF KING'.i BENCH
was illuminated with•several devices in small lamps.
At the extreme end, on each side of the King's arms,
was a 4, G. R." in hrilliant.lamps. The large Gothic
door was bordered round with chains of small lamps,
and' the three windows woe likewise edged with
small lamps, and a similar berdering on the opposite
side-wall, to correspord with the windows.
Tibet COUN.II. CIIANIMA
having also undisteore a thorough repair, at the (TO
behind the lend Maynt's seat is erected a tiee tell.
length marble stattie ct his present Majesty, and on
the right side is bust of the Duke of Wellington,
on a pedestal, with another bust of the immertal
Nelson opposite, on the let t. All the Pictures of out
great Warriors, both by sea and land, that grace this
Chamber, are new cleaned and gilt, and put up to
more advantage. When the company alighted from
their carriages, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Great
Officers of State, and Foreign Amb.iss:idors, retired
to the Grand Council Chamber, and when dinner
was announced, the Band, which sat in the Music
Gallery, over the entrance door, struck up ri The
Roast Beef of Old England," they rose up and
walked in procession to the Lord Mayor's table,
none being permitted to enter before they were all
seated. We understand that about 900 persons sat
down in the great Hall, and 200 in the Ceuta of
King's Bench. The table e mewled under a profit-
siren of delicacies of every thing in season ; with
wines and fruits of the finest flavour; and the old
Hall never rang with louder peals of mirth'than on
this occasion.
The diffetent crurses being ended, and the cloths
removed, the grave muscles of the Statesmen and
Magistrate,' countenances were for a while relaxed,
and their sedatE and sober spirits enlivened by the
exhilirating juice of the grape.
The Ladies retired at ten o'clock to the grand
Council Chamber, appropriated for the Ball, where
dancing commenced, and wes continued until a
late hour this morning. They were. most superbly
dressed with jewels and feathers.
