After the fervice the LOOM MAYOR, the LADY
Meroaess, and the Aldermen and their Ladies
returned to the Manfion-houfe, where they partook
of a moll excellent entertainment in the Egyptian-
hall, confifting of every delicacy of the feafon, of
which took the lead the old Englifh tare a Baron
of Baf.
The tables were moll elegantly decorated ; the
ground-work (thrown en parterre) exhibited land-
feapes and rural views, with naval and war tro-
phies. •
•
The room in which the company dined repre-
fented an Eallem Temple decorated with trium-
phal arches, the pillars ornamented with fefloons
of flowers..
The confeElionary ornaments were executed with
great taße.
In the centre of the table oppofite where the
LORD MAYOR and Lacli• MAYORESS fht, was ered-
ed the Temple of Minerva in the centre of which
was the figure of the Goddefs holding in her right
hand Medufa's Head—at the top of the Temple the
portrait of her Majefty, enriched with rays of Glory,
and in the centre of the bare another portrait of the
Cjlieen in burnifhed gold ; the fummit of the pillars
to fupport the edifice were four Arnett' Briton,.
On each fide the Temple was a gilt pedeftal (in
latticework) on which were two figures reprefent-
ing Hylory reading the brilliant atchievements of
our naval heroes.
On the right fide in front of the Temple, was
an craft reprefentation of Bow Church, and that
part of the fteeple to the dragon was fcafrolded up,
in compliment to his Lordfhip, who undertook the
repair of it after its being damaged at a more rea-
fonable expence than any other builder would un-
dertake it, being the firft work in which his Lord-
Blip was employed for the City.
At the Reps of the door the.rc.lor of the Church
at that tithe was reprefented, in his wig and band,
holding a book in his hand.
The counterpart on the left reprefented a Naval
Pillar, with Fame at the top, founding the praifes
of the Britifh Admirals, and bearing
,a Flag on
which *as infcribed " Rule Britannia, the Pillar
being fupported by Dolphins, T,itons, and Mer-
maids; the figure of Thee in this piece was beauti-
fully delineated at the bare of the Pedeftal, hand-
ing up to pofterity the lift of the heroic Admirals,
beginning with Admiral HAW xs, down to the vic-
torious hero of the Nile (Admiral Lord NELSON)
whis have deferved, and have been rewarded by
this country. In the centre of the middle table his
Lordfhip's Arms, and a man of war, at the head
of which was painted the name Swam.
None of the Royal &artily were prefent, but the
aftembly was graced D 7 feveral of the Foreign Mi-
nifters and a numerous company of Nobility of
both fetes. _ _

The LADY MAYORESS with her accuffomed affa-
bility rendered.the company happy by her amiable
deportment. •
TH t THEATRES.—Both Houfes were lafi night
well filled; and notv.ithilanding the gteit influx
of Holiday Folks, the general appearance at each
was very refpdable. Neither of the perform-
ances prefentcd any thing new for critical remark.
At GIEINWICH, the cuftomary fccnes of roily-
telly and female (Akira, took place, to the infinite
gratification of a numerous affemblagc of curiout
fireaters.

SADLIk'S WE Li. s.—The opening of this old and
favourite place of amufernent for the good folks of
London and its neighbourhood, was lark night in
full pride, as to both crowds of fpeetators, and the
fuccefe with which the performances went off.
RorAt. Clacus.—We witneffed, lark night, at
this Theatre, the exhibition of an admirable va-
riety of Equeftriati Evercifes, to a thronging and
delighted audience. The new Pantominucal ballet
of RINALDO RINALDINI, is one of the molt amti-
ling entertainments which have been hers repre-
fasted. We were much pleafed with the perfor-
*lames of Mr.
_PALMAS, Mr. Wass, and bfifs
Damn'. Mr. latsances agility is truly wonder-
ful. The Magic Flute, in the fixty.fecond rcpeti•
tion, had (till power to charm, as at the firft.
Every praife is due to the Proprietors, for the talte
with which they have fo 'elegantly fitted up the
Houle.

Asttev's.—The entertainments at Miley's,
Weltminfter-bridge, Were, Jail night, attended by
a very numerous alfembhge of fpeaftors, who
were highly gratified.
The interior of this elegant place of Summer
Amufement has been entirelf rebuilt, and does in-
finite credit to the taße of the Architea. It opened
yefterday evening with a variety of Novel Enter-
tainments, under the direction • of Mr.
jun. who has fpared neither pains nor expence to
pkafe the t'ublk; and we have no doubt his un-
remitting etertimet will be amply 'rewarded. This
Theatre-may in fume degree vie with any of the
Winter Theatres in point of elegance. The Boxes
are painted blue and crimson, and fupportad by
°flagon pillars, inlaid with looking-glalles reeded
with be:tithed gold beads, and ornamented with
gold bugs. Houle is illuminates with bril-
liant ehandelurs. The cieling reprefcats the figns
ot the zodiac. 'The elevation of the roof much
extended, and the (List: cunfider ably enlarged.
