CAPTAIN PARRY'S FETE ON BOARD TIIL
DISCOVERY SHIPS.

A very splendid and hospitable entertainment was!
yesterday given on board the Hecla and Fury discovery
ships, lying off Deptford dock-yard, by Captain Parry, I
who took this mode of bidding farewell to his numerous
ft iends and acquaintance.
In order to afford the necessary facilities for approach-
ing the vessels, the Dock-yard was thrown open, and the
carriages, as they arrived, drove to the water's edge.
The barges of the Admiralty and the Navy Board, to-
gether with a vast number of other commodious boats,
prepared with awnings, here awaited the a' rival of the
company, and conveyed them in perfect safety to their
' destination. This service was performed with the great-
est regularity, and not a single accident occurred to n:ar
the pleasures of the day.
Captain Parry, and some of the female branches of
his family, reached the Ilecla at an early hour in the
morning, and by eleven o'clock the visitors began to
push off from the shore. They were first received on a
substantial platform, from whence they proceeded. by a
convenient ladder to the deck of the Comet steam ves-
sel, where several female attendants were in readiness to
take charge of the ladies' hate, cloaks, &c. and to render
every necessary assistance. From thence they ascended
by another ladder to the deck of the Pheasant sloop of
war, which has been employed as a hulk to the dis-
covery ships, and bele stood Captain Parry, who
received them ' ith the politeness and unaffected sin-
cerity of a British Tar : all met with a heal ty welcome,
and all felt that they were equally the objects of his
friendly solicitude.
The whole of the vessels intended for the festival were
covered from stem to stern, with awnings -ornpo,ed of
flags of various descriptions. Ti.is m (irk was effected
with considerable ingenuity, and so arranged as com-
pletely to exclude all unpleasant currents of air, while
the variegated hues of the flags produced a rich and
pleasing contrast.
Tae deck of the Pheasant was appropriated as a mu-
sic•room, and was provided with-an organ and a grand
pianoforte, while chairs and stools in all directions af-
forded convenient resting places for the auditors.
From this saloon the delighted groupes passed over a
temporary bridge covered with baize, to the deck of the
Hecla, which formed the principal ball room, and at the
end of which was stationed, not only the band of the
Royal Artillery, but an admirable orchestra, ill ever y
way suited to the votaries of Terpsichore. Another
small bridge led to the Fury, which was moored close
alongside the Hecla, and die deck of which was also set
apart for dancing. Evergreens, exotic plants, and fresh
gathered flowers were everywhere displayed in such
profusion as by their fragrance to dispel those nautical
odours which are sometimes offensive to the fair sex, but
which are inseparable from the fitments of a ship.
The interior of the Fury still remained open for the
inspection of the curious, and was visited by most of the
company, who viewed the ingenious arrangements for
the accommodation of the Officers and crew with sur-
prise and admiration. By half-past twelve o'clock up-
wards of 600 persons of rank and fashion were assem-
bled on board the different vessels. The Ladies were
dressed in their gayest spring attire—in what is termed
morning costume, and almost all wore hats or bonnets
decorated with artificial flowers of the most exquisite
and costly description. The Gentlemen were in full
dress, and among them were a vast number of Military
and Naval Officers in their respective uniforms. The'
tout-ensemble presented a coup d'o►il of the most lively
and brilliant description.
The amusements of the morning commenced is the
music-room, to which the lively tones of the piano-forte
soon attracted an anxious audience, who were not a lit-
tle delighted to find Sir George Crrara, attended by
Miss Paton, Madame Pasta, Miss Goodall, Mr. Hawes,
Mr. Leat, and Mr. Terrail, prepared to render their
voluntary aid tnwrrds the harmony of the Meetins-,.
They were all invited guests, but they seemed not less
anxious to exert their best talents in gi otifying the wishes
of their gallant entertainers.
The performances commenced with the glee, When
winds breathe soft, which was not alone appropriate
but admirably sung. This was followed by a song
from Miss Goodall, Bid we discourse, and then an-
other glee, In the merry month of May, all of which
were received with tapturott, applause.—The Ball then
commenced on the deck of the Ilecla with a country
dance, followed by quadrilles, and these were again re-
lieved by the kind aid of Madame Pasta, who sang
in cite accendi, and Miss Paton, who gave Di Pincer
in their best style. The glee. omy Love is like the red
red Bose followed. Mad. Pasta also sung the celebrated
Romance from Otello with admirable effect, and was
succeeded by Miss Paton, who enraptured her auditors
with the beautiful song of The Banks of Allen Water.
Then came the glee of Peaceful Slumbering; and so on
in singing and dancing throughout the afternoon.
At two o'clock the guests were invited to refresh-
ments, and proceeded to the second deck of the Hecla,
the whole of which, from end to end, embracing the
Captain's cabin and those of the Officers, was filled with
tables, spread with a cold collation of the most costly
and elegant description, including a profusion of wines,
fruits, and confectionary of all sorts. No expense, in
fact, was spared to render the banquet suitable to the
occasion, and all did full justice to the ample prepa-
rations of their hosts. As the first party retired, their
seats were occupied by a second, a third, and even a
fourth ; but still there was abundance for all, and the
liberality of the supply afforded an equal variety for
all; and such was the excellence of the arrangements,
that everything was conducted without the slightest
confusion or inconvenience.

After the collation, dancing and music recommenced,
and the reign of mirth, good humour, and happiness
continued without interruption until six o'clock, when
the guests returned to shore, expressing, in unequivocal
terms, the delight which they had experienced through-
out the day, and heartily wishing to Captain Parry, his
Officers, and crew, a happy and prosperous return from
the perilous voyage on which they are on tlie eve of
departing.— Amoug the almost countless groups pre-
sent on this happy occasion, we noticed—

The Duke of Marlborough, Earl Bathurst, Lady Georgiana Ba-
thurst, Lady Emily Bathurst, Lord and Lady &aylutti, Lord
Nugent, Lord Clinton, Sir Everard Home, the Right Hon. W. W.
'Wynn and family, Mr. and Mrs. Hobhouse, Sir J. Yorke, S:r
Henry, Lady, and Miss Martin, Captain J. Franklin, the Hor.
Douglas Kinnaird, S. Whitbread, Esq. Sir Alexatnlet and La.])
Johnston, Mrs. Admiral Ilartrilron, Captain and Mrs. Napier,
Lieut.-Col. Ady, Captain an.: Mrs. Wiihraham, the Lerd Mayor
and family, Mr. Alderman Ileygate and Lady, and a long list o;
others, too numerous to mention.

Throughout the day the river was covered with boats,
filled with gay parties, and the shore was lined with
curious spectators. The influx of carriages into Deptford
exceeded all precedent, end thz propitious state of the
weather in the afternoon added much to the general joy.
