Olirk.RING.

At the words of the Offertory, id Let yonr Light
to thine before men, &c." The organ playing—the
Officers of the Wardrobe fpread a carpet on the Reps
of the altar; and Deputy Black Road, making his
obeifances, went op to the rails of the altar, on the
right fide I he received from the Yeoman of the Ward-
robe, a rich carpet and culbion, which, with the al.
Mance of the Yeoman, he laid down for the Sove-
reign to kneel upon. Tn the mean time. Garter fum-
moned the Knights from their Stalls, beginning with
the junior ; each Knight making his reverences in
his Stall ; and repeating the fame with his Compa-
aion.in the Choir, retired under his banner•

All the Knights ftaoding thus under their banners,
and the Prelate at the altar to receive the offerings,
the Sovereign, making his reverence to the altar, de-
feended from bis Stall ; and then making another re-
verence in the middle of the choir, proceeded to the
offering.
The folios. Knight (not of the Blood Royal), being
the Knight appointed to deliver the offering to the
Sovereign, the Dukc of Desranfhire made his reve-
rence as the proceffion paired ; and, thereupon, placed
hintfelf a little behind his Majelly, on the right fide.
The Sovereign coming to the rails of the altar,
made a reverence; when Deputy Black Rod, on his
knee, delivered the Offering to the Knight, who de-
livered it the Sovereign ; and his Majefty, taking off
his cap and feathers, put the offering into the bafon,
held by the Prelate affifled by the Prebends.

Then two Officers of Arms attended the next
Knights, who were the Dukes of York and Clarence.
who made their offering. The other Knights of the
Royal Family went up and made their offerings in
the fame manner. The Provincial Kiog* of Arms
attended thnfe Knights, and the Senior Heralds in
rotation, the other Knights Companions, who made
their offering, &c. in the f hawing order :
The Duke of Devonihire, Earl of Chatham, Mar-
quis of Salifbury. Earl Weßmoreland, Earl Spencer,
Earl Camden, Duke of Rutland, Sir J. York, Duke
of Beanhut, Marquis of Abercorn, Earl Pembruke,
Earl of Winchelfea. Earl Chesterfield.

When Divine Service was over, the Knights, in the
order I have kilt defcribed, went in proceflion out
Of the Chapel, in order to go to dinner. But betore
I followed ►hem to the dinner ro I beg to make
a few obfervatit,ns on the Company in the Chapel,
which comprehended almoft every perfon of high
rank in the country. Still, however, it was not by
any means to numerous as was expelled. Many, nu
doubt, declined coming, from the apprehenlioo of a
preffure ; but the fad was, that the Chapel is ftiffi-
eiuit to have accommodated more than double the
Isumber who were prefent. However, the accum-
imodatiou was the more comfortable. and no incon-
venience appeared to be experienced by any one.—
The ceremony teemed to excite a &eneral interea in
every part of its progref.. with this exception, that
the frequent repetition of the fame courfe of indalia.
elms, &c. with each of the Knights Eke, was rather
produltive of langour. This repetition had much the
fame effed upon the fpitits of the affembly that would
be likely to afire (loin a play, in wliith the whole
denosenent of the plot ilsould be in the &it ad.
The (teen. wi;h the Princefs of Wales, the Pi in-
titres Elizabeth, Mary, Sophia, and Amelia, the
Princefs of Glouce4ter and Duchefs of York, occupied
the place at the right of the Altar, which was ele-
gantly fitted up for them. The whole of the Royal
Family were dreffed in a Windfor blue filk, aver
tiaue, manufactured fpecially for the occafion.—
Their heads were ornamented with a profufion of
diamonds.

The Princefs of Wales wore a portrait of his Ma-
lay, of rather a large fize, which was taftefully fet
in diamonds, and fufpended from her neck by a dia-
mond chain. This is a preant which the has lately
received from his Majefly. Her Royal Highnefs
wore a diamond erefcent done in points. Each of
the Princeffes had on a diamond ftar and a garter,
emblematical of the Order. The Duchefs of York
wore a wreath of diamond' upon her arms and bo.
fom. Her Majefly and the Princefs of Wales fat to-
gether,and were in converfation during the ceremony.
A number of attendants, male and female, flood be-
hind the Royal Family.
His Majefly looked extremely well. He wore an
tincommi.nlv large white wig—the fame that he had
on at the H 'ufe of Lords fume time fince.
The frlemn fervice finifhed about fix minutes af-
ter five o'clock, when the Queen arnfe and paid
from her feat down the aifle, and out at the northern
gate, followed by the Princefs of Wales, Princefs Au.
gufta, Elizabeth, Sophia, and Sophia of Gloucener,
Mary. and Amelia ; the Duchefs of York was clic
lel in the Royal party ; the Maids of Honour fol-
lowed. The (treen and the Princefs of Wales were
each efcorted by two Gottlemen in Court dram ;
and the other Ladies were attended by one Gentle-
man each. The procefti in of the Knights reached
St. George's Hall precifely at forty minutes pall five.
His Majefly being featcd, with the Prince of Wales
on his tight hand, the Duke of Gloucener on the
right of the Prince, and the Duke of York on his
let, the reft of the Prlncee took their feats at the
royal table, h all ten. The Knights, fixteen in num-
ber, then feared themfelves. The dinner commenced
about fix o'clock, previous to which the Q9een and
the Princeffes had taken their feats in the gallery on
the weftcrn fide -4 the Hall. The Knights table was
not decorated t% any kind of frame work or orna-
ments, which is triki to be owing to the order for the
dittributing the fragments among the populace.—
When she defier: was placed on the table, a variety
of fplendid ornaments covered the table, confifting
principally of iev-tral figures of Knights on boric.
back, compofed wholly of flyer, furmounted by the
Star and order of the Garter, in folid gold. Other
devices, equally rich and appropriate, were intro-
duced. The plate on the King's table, confining
wholly of gold, was laid to be worth • 2,0001. This
fcrvice of plate was made for George L and his Ma-
jelly was fo well pleated with the execution and Aso-
derate charge of the Aoldanith, that he is Paid to have
prefented him with five hundred pounds more than
the amount of the bill. The Knights dined off fil-
Ter. When the Knights had dined, the Queen and
Princeffes retired ; and then the company invited
to dine at the 27 tables fet out in the different rooms
of State, fat down to table, over each of whi:h pre-
(*Wed thoft. Lords and Ladies of the Bed Chamber
we mentioned in bur Paper of Monday lett.—
About a quarter pad eight, the tables, eighteen in
number, which had been ptevioully placed is the

• 3
talne Vardr 'and fet out in a triangular font were
covered with ..prrovilions, which confilled of mutton
and beef, boiler( mad roaßed, betides puddings and
pies. A large baron of beef was placed about the
middle of the circle. Nine hogtheads of ale were
placed on three, large tables or benChes. During
the time the divairer was getting ready for the po-
pulace, "all the gates leading into the Cagle Yard
were clpfed, and fentinels, both. horfe and foot,
were Rationed without to keep the unruly in awe,
and prevent them from approaching too near the
entrances. From the Mil difcipline kept up, the
crowd, whick, was very great, were prevented from
making a
given to admit them, which would inf.4l-
- have been the cafe, had it not been for the Bow-
itreet Officers, who were vet y alive on the occafion.
The impatience of the mulch ncle was at laa appeared
by the gates being thrown open by a detachment of
the Coldfiream Guards, about twenty minutes paft
eight o'clock; when they poured in like an over
whelming torrent, and bore down every thing,before
them. The foldiers on the infide, to heighten. the
• fccne, had put a chain nerds a path which the inqb
had to pars, and here one tumbled over another, till
not lefs than twenty were fpr4Wling on .the ground isr
the fame time, and thofe who.got in firß were laft at
the table. The fcene of confufion which enfued exceeds
all defcription, every one being more anxious to
plunder than to eat; they carried off that which
came footle& to hand, whilft the leis robuß were fre-
quently r3bbed of their prey in retreating to a place
of lifety. The Baron of Beef in the courfe of a thou
time found twenty mailers. From the windows of
the Qneen's apartments the King and the Princes of
the 1310-od fUreeyed the fcene. From what we could
learn no accident: happened. This may be accounted
for from the circnmtlance of Very few knives tieing
' placed upon the tables.

THE DRAWING ROOM.
Soon after nine the company who had dined in
the Caine returned to the drawing room, wherc her
Majefty received them in the moll elegant and affa-
ble manner. The drawing room was fplendidly illu-
minated with two very magnificent chandeliers, with
eight branches to each, the whole of tingled filver ;
againft the wall were Affixed twenty-two Myer luares;
under a very magnificent pier glafs was placed a
wave Giver pier table.

THE BALL ROOM 1
Was thrown open and all the other rooms of Rate
about ten o'clock, each more tnagnificently furnithed
than the other. The ball room is that which has the
four very fplendid pier glaffes adorned with antique
filver frames, which colt Soo guineas each in the
reign of George L Underneath thee glades are
tour fquare Miter pier table., two of which were
lately brought from Hanover, and were purchafed by
George H. This apart, .-nt was illuminated by three'
filvcr chandeliers,each ighing two hundred weight,
together v.:th tore:.t, fix filver fconces. Here are
two Ere place;, on _ach fide of which is placed a fil-
vo- dog, wei7.l:;itg sea pounds each. The floor was'
painted in water colours; the centre piece confided'
of the Star and Order of the Garter on each fide ; at
equi-didances were the letter► G. R. and at each ex-
tremity of the ro..m were. trumpets, French horns,
and other appropriate devices. The whole was fur-
rounded by martial lines, devices of the Union, &c.
The Queen's Pretence Chamber, which has lately
been fitted up in a t ich and elegant iiyi with erim-
fon velvet hanging. and gold, is adorned with eight
mauve filver chairs, very antique, being a prefent
from George 11. to his Q2een Catherine. This room
was lighted by two w.ble 6ial; chandeliers, of peculiar
richnefs and lullre.—The Ball was opened by
The Prince of Wake • . Prince!'" Angußa.
Duke of Cumberland Prince(' Sophia.
Duke of Cambridge • - • Printers Mary.
Duhe of Suffei - - Prince's Aniella.
Prince William of Gloncefter and Princefs Sophia
of Gloucefter alfo danced, followed by feveral of the
Nobility.

His MAJFITT'S drcfs was of the grandeft kind ima.
ginable—fuperior in many refpeas to that of the other
Knights, each of whom made a moft iMpreffive ap.
pcarance. The PIINCI of WALIS, and the other
Knights of the Royal Family, had their hair tied be-
hind with a tingle knot of white ribband. The whole
of their hair, therefore, excepting that under the tie,
hung loofely over their (boulders.

A—mong the company we noticed the Duchefs of
Northumberland, and her fnur daughters, who were
dreffed in plain white mullin gowns, with lathes of
gartcr blue ribband actors their (boulders. Their
bead dreffes were different from moll, and rather all
the Ladies prefent. as they were decorated with large
plumes of oftrich feathers. They fat in come of the
vacant Kieights flans on the north fide of the church.
Lady Harriet Stanhope, and Lady Barrymore,
who fat in the neat feat to the fttteen, were drelfed in
garter blue silk gowns; and their head-dreffes were,
helmets formed of pearls.
The Countefs of Buckingham, and Lady J. Ho-
bart, were alto dreffed in garter blue, and helmet
head dreffes. They were accompanied by Lords
Buckingham and Canlereagh, who occupied fume of
the vacant Knights Stalls.
The ladies were for the moll part dreffed in garter
blue silk, or plain white muffin, with garter blue
lathes, or garter blue ribbands in their head.dreffes.
Lord Sidmonth and his family were in the Cham-
berlain's box, immediately oppofite to that of the
Royal Family.
Of what are called the failionalle world, I did not
obferve fo many as were ex Red. The company
rather principally confined of Parliamentary perform,
followers of the Court, and Bed-chamber Lords and
their families.

There were feveral among the company who were,
no doubt, auraded by the novelty of the fpeetacle.
I noticed Mr. Windham, Dr. Parr, Sir Sidney Smith,
and Lard Duncannon.
There was a vall number of 'Officers in the choir.
Indeed the military was quite the prevailing drefs.
Very few appeared in plain cloaths.
Thia town is amazingly difappointed in its fpecu-
lation on this extraordinary harmers The inhabitants
calculated upon making a good thing ; but the excels
of extortion has almolt totally defeated their views.
Two guineas a nioht for a tingle rcom, fix guineas in
fome inllance►, have been demanded for borne days
back.

The mud that colleeted to day in the Park, and
Court-yards, and all the ptaces about Itan which
any view could be had of the proceffion, or any of

• •
•
the Knights, was immenfe. No (mt. was admitted
within any of the Cale gates without an order from
the Lord Chamberlain ; but from the number who
got in, compared. with the ticket; idlied, a forgery
of tickets.isfapeded. Every precaution was ufed to
guatd againlluch a thing.; but forgery haroccurred
in every limilar cafe ; as, however, no tumult or even
inconvenience has arifen from the crowd, there can
be no great reafon to complain. 6
•
In confcquence of the judicious manner in which
the military have been dift•ibuted throughout the
town, and in every avenue leading to it, no accidents
whatever have occurred of a difagreeable nature.—
Much credit is alfo due to the, diligence and adivity
of the Bow-llreet Officers, and though aimefl all the
carriages and company pretred into the Cattle Gates
at the fame moment, fuch was the order and regu-
larity preferved, that not one perfon was hurt in the
flighted degree.
.Nu more than one•third of the Aine, where fpec
tators were admitted to-day for two guineas each,
was occupied. The choir, to which the admittance
was fix guineas was better filled than any other part
Aligned for fpekttors.
,The Knights did not fit down to dinner until near
(even o'clock. The dinner was announced for three,
but the 'ceremony occupied a much longer lime than
was expeded when the order for dinner was made.

whom the old gentleman was himfell about to
marry, on the benevolent principle of protecting an
helplefs orphan.—This is not very well told, nor

movement of " Gou (ay: the King,".thAt fang was
called for by the audience and lung. Many of the
airs and duets were encored. The houle was welt
aueaded, but nut crowded.
