THE ICING'S GRAND ;ALL di:VD SUPPER.

FURTHER PARTICULARS. •
Although tl.ere was but one entrance to the KING'S
Palace, in St. James's, on Monday night, for the gene-
ral company who had the honour to be invited to the
Grand Ball and Sapper given by t',e KING, the
greatest order and regularity was observed.—Sir
Richard Birnie, the Chief Magistrate of Aire Police, was
in attendance, with the principal officers.
The company continued arriving from a quarter be-
fore ten o'clock, at the entrance at the List-end of the
Palace, very rapidly, sometimes setting down from two
or three carriages at a time, with vet y little Mei mis-
sion. for about an hour and a half.
About ten o'clock, a detachment of the Life Guards
took their station in the Court-yard of the Palace op-
posite the great gates, and formed in a line fronting
Pall-mall, a short distance from the Colonnade.
The company was as numerous as could be conve-
niently accommodated, although the ballroom is com-
posed of two of the old rooms, viz. the old Privy
Chamber and the Levee-room. The extensive improve.
ments to these wise: ior suite of r oms have been exe-
cuted by Mr. Hunt, the resident surveyor. The Pages
appeased in their splendii uniforms; he livery servants
in their state liverie,. The Yeomen Gua Os, who lined the
Guard Chamber, were dressed in their lull Coronation
costume. The KtNces excellent private band, cons'st-
ing of forty performers, were stationed in the Pretence
Chamber, the sed in ti eir splendid Coronation uni-
torms; they c.-nimenced their petformances with the
Imperial March; they also played in the course of the
evening the Archduke Alberti March, and the cele-
brated hunting chof us in Der Freischutz.
The KING left hi; yrivate apartments at the early hour
of about half past-nine o'clock, and entered the State
Rooms, dressed in the regimentals of the Royal Horse
Guards, with a btilliant diamond star on his left breast,
and a diamond hilted sword. His 111,s,rzsrx appeared
in most excellent health, which greatly heightened the
pleasure of the distinguished visitors. The KING pro-
menaded the Rooms previous to the arrival of the com-
pany, to view them lighted for the first time. The KING
was soon joineJ by th'e great Officers of State, and the
Royal Family, who arrived early. The Royal Family.,
entered by the grand Court Yard, where they were re•
ceived with military honours by the King's Guard, the
Band of the Coldstream Regiment, in their sate uni-
forms, playing id God saw the King," which was re•
peated by the KING'S Band, as they passed through the
Rooms, and had a most delightful effect. The Duke
and Duchess of GLouozsrza came in state. The Duke
of Youx, the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, the
Princess AvouslAs the Duchess of Kent, the Princess
Femmes, Prince LEOPOLD, and the Princess &mita
.MATILDA, the Duke and Prince WILLIAM of BRUNS-
WICK, and Prince &MILBERG, were present. His MA•
JESTY promenaded the Rooms with the Duchess of
GLOUCESTER aid CAMBRIDGE on each arm.
His MAJESTY occasionally conversed with the com-
pany. The entrance of the gland staircase and avenues
leading to the State Rooms had the tffect of an illumi-
nated grove, from the well-arranged distribution oftbe
trees, shrubs, &c. and the Ladies passing through the
rooms, with the waving of their elegant plumes of
feathers, the band playing at the same time, had a most
fascinating effect. The Ladies' dresses were of the most
costly description. There was a profuse display of jewels.
Quadrilles and waltzes were alternately danced. The
Duke of CAMBRIDGE waltzed with the Duchess of
RUTLAND.

The KING led the way to the Banqueting-room,
where his MAJESTY remained but a shorttime, owing
to the oppressive heat. The supper, it is scarcely
necessary to say, consisted of every delicacy, and was
served up in the most magnificent style, in the massive
services of plate.
One of the pieces of gold plate for the dessert was
ream kably elegant—three Bacchanalian supporting a
foliage to receive pine-apples ; there were other pieces
of gold plate representing Tritons supporting shells,
containing fruit, &c. groups of infant boys representing
the Seasour, executed in a bold, and masterly manner.
The whole of the numerous vases. dessert ornaments,
&c. used on this occasion were enriched with the finest
subjects from the antique, and the greatest variety of
groups, finished in the highest sale of workmanship ;
the dishes were also richly chased.
At the top of the table, were four or-mole candelabra,
placed at regular distances between each dessert of na-
meta, the candelabra containing five wax lights each.
On the lofty chimney-piece, stood four candelabra,
with six wax lights each. In addition to these the room_
was brilliantly illuminated by a number of candelabra,
containing a number of lights each, placed alternately
with the dessert ornaments at stated distances on both
the side tables.

-------
Ti e magnificent and lofty beaufet at the end of the
room, which is about filter u teet high, and nearly twenty
in Intathh, was set out with a profusion of gold plate.
. The ceiling of the loom contained daittern large gilt
Yentila:ors ; iron., the middle of the centre one was sus-
pendeti the huge gilt chandelier. Four other chande-
lierscako gilt, were suspended from the middle of the
cormeartments at the corners of the loom.
this,each: aide of the beaufet were the Stars of the
Oiders of the Garter and of the Bath, placed in an
e,cdtcheon surmounted by a Cro,%n, all richly gi:t.

d .ist the room.
