Such is a brief defeription of this great tolemnity.
Every preparation has been made to render it more
fplendid than any thing of the kind in former reigns.
A new entrance has been made on the tooth hide of
St. George's Chapel, by which the proceilm is to
enter : It correfponds with the Gothic order of the
building. Seats, covered with green baize, are ar-
ranged in the body of the Chapel for the acconimo-
dacha: of fix or boo fpedators. A gallery is alt.
ereaed in the Choir, for the admillion of perfons with
tickets, which are from two to fix guineas. A ga-
iety is to he ereaed on the north tide by the Altar
for the (Been and the Pi inceffes— It is to be Cur.-
mounted by a canopy of ctirnfon velvet with gold
binge. On the oppolite fide there will be a gallery
fur the Lord Chamberlain, the Officers of State, the
Foreign Arnbaliadors and Ladies of diilinaion.—
When the ceremony of the Inftallation is finiffied, the
Knights will proceed to St. George's Hall to dine.
and it is here that the fcene will affume its utmolt
point of grandeur. 'lt is fomewhat difficult to con-
vey art idea of it, particularly as at prefent the pre-
parations are very incomplete. • The Hall of St.
George is allowed to be the molt magnificent apart-
ment in Europe : it is adorned with paintiogs by
Mailers of the firth celebrity. At the farther end is
ereaed the Throne, where his Adajetly, as Sovereign
of the Order of the Garter, is to prefide. Seats are
arranged by the fide of the Throne, for the male
branches of the Royal Family. Over the Throne is
a gallery for the mtific : it is decorated with the ut-
moll degree of elegance. On the north fide of the
Hall is a fpacious gallery, defigned for the Ladies of
our Nobility and Foreign Ambatiadors. It appears
capable of containing about zoo perfons. On the
fouth fide is the table, at which the Knights are to
dine. They will be attended by their Gentlemen.
who will officiate as Equerries. At the lower end
of the Hall will be the table appointed for the Officers

bury, Wincheiler, Sir Ifaac Heard, &c. There is alto
Ito be a gallery at the lower end of the Hall for her
Majefty, the Princeffes, and Ladies of Honour.—
Tables will be fpread in various parts of the Caftle.
IThe Lord Steward entertains the Foreign Minifters
land King's Minifters, and the Lord Chamberlain bas
lalfo a table appropriated to pelts of a fimilar defcrip-
' tion. The Qtieen's Ladies have a table appointed
for themfelves. Lady Harcourt, the Marchionefs
of Bath, and Lady Cardigan, have alto tables for
the accommodation of the Nobility. There will al.
fo be tables fpread for the following perfunages and
their friends :

Officers. The Prebendaries. The Heralds. The Gentlemen
Ulbers. The Pages of Honour. The Board of Gram Cloth.—
The Gentlemen Pcnßoners. The Yeomen of the Guards, &c. &c.
Where there tables will be fpread, it is impoffible to
Rate at prefent, as the workmen are entirely employ-
ed in-preparing, St. George's Hall fro- the reception
of the guefts. They will doubtlefs be arranged in
the two Libraries, the Pretence Chamber, the Au-
dience Chamber, the tiZEeen's Lodge, and various
apartmenti in the Cattle. Having given• this hatly
defcription of a folemnity which will be conducted
with a degree of grandeur furpaffing any thing of the
kind fence the days of Chivalry, we have only to add,
that when it takes place we (hall, in acquittal of our
our duty to' our Readers, prefent them with a full
and accurate defcription of every thing we have not
already anticipated.
corrttma OF THE !NIGHTS OF THE CARTER.

Much has been laid upon the fubjeft of alterations being about
to be made in the drefs to be worn by the Knights at the corning
initallation. We have enquired, and 'remained that fo far from
the reported changes having any foundation in truth, his Majefty
has ordered that not the ffightelt deviation from the cofturne of
the twelfth century be on any account attempted. The magnifi-
cence of the drefvfar excels that of the Knights of the Hatt; it is
very expenfive. the soft of each fait being about 4001.
The wsiftcoat is of fiber tiffue richly embroidered with filver,,
and made to button behind ; there are no leis than oc9 fugarloef
button. on it, all of which are workettia the molt exquifite man-
ner with Meer. The buttons are placed is rows on dfferent parts
of the drefs, particularly on the fieeves, and the whole is after the
Spanilt tafte. The breeches are very fully made, being much
puffed , and are compikd of the fame materials as the waiftcoat
and made In the fame ftyle: roundthe knees are fifty bunches of
very narrow lace and Carfnet ribbon wove on purpole. Over the
&anklets 'is thrown a crimfon. Genoa velvet furenat, lined with
white fagot% and ornamented with a banging have of the fame
material. On the right moulder b placed the hood, which is fatt-
ened by a large bow of white ribbon. The mantic which covers
the whole, Is made of garter blue velvet,lbnid with farina Mk, and
fafteoed by s cordon of purple filk and gold lace, from the two
_ . . .

ends of which are fufpended two marl*? talicls of purple and gold.
On the lisft *milder of the mantle is fixed the Corder of the Garter,
wended by gold embroidery. Around the neck is worn the Col.
far of the Order. A very large rofette of narrow white ribbon and
ear lace, placed In alternate rows, is fixed on the right knee.—
The woes are of white kid, with red morocco heels, and orna-
mented with luge Giver rofettes. White kid gloves, with three
rows of filver lace. The (word, with a balket hilt of gold, with a
aitufon velvet fcabbard and belt. The head drefs conGfis of a Spa-
nth bat of black velvet, turned .up In front, and ornamented with
jewels: Giteen white oftrich, furmatuted by s (prig of real heron
feathers, Anitbea the fpleadtd habiliments of a Knight of the Molt
Noble Order of the Garter. The plume of heron feathers is Paid
to cat from 6o to 130 guineas. Thofe Intended to be worn by the
Prince of Wales and his Royal Brothers have each eoR the latter
turn —The whole of the drefs appears to be very light, but it is
im.effeet extremely heavy; happily however, the funs Influence Ls
not likely to prove Co powerful as it did at the left frillalladon at
Wind(or, which took place in July 1771, thirty-three years fusee
'when the heat was Co oppreffive that many of the Knights fuftalw:
ed great Inconvenience la going through the ceremony.

Sir JOHN HILL, M.D F.R.S. at Paris, and Knight
of the RoTal Order of Sweden, finding the inhabi-
tants of this country at this feafon of the year parti-
cularly afflided with Coughs, Colds, and Afibmatic
complaints, foliod out a method of concentrating
that valuable Extract of Flowers, called Honey, and
bringing into a (mall compafs a veil large portion
of its excellent virtues. Sir JOHN HILL'S Balfam of
Honey is therefore recommended as the molt fare,
innocent, and effc&ual rcmedy for Cough; Colds,
and Afihmas. Childrew and the molt delicate may
take it with the greated fafety. It is to be bad at
Mai,. Shaw and Edwards, No. 66, on the Foot-way,
St. Paul's Church-yard, who have purchafed of the
Hon. Lady HILL'S executors all the property in Sir
JOHN HILO* Medicine; price ys, 6d. If their names
are not on the Ramp it is a counterfeit.
