On each fide of the woolfack and table, and ex-

The Dukes of York and Cambridge fat for ;rime rime
upon the WcoTa.ck, and the Duke of Suffer fat for a

•VISCOUNt MELVILLE.

The fronts of thefe two laft-mentioned boxes form.
ed a tight line, and conflituted the bar of the houfe.
Lord Vifcount Melville fat alone within the bar, and
clofe behind the Barons' bench. He Came in at the
fame time with the other Lords, having entered at
the oppofite end, at the g-eat door from Palace Yard.
His feat was on the left, immediately in front of his
Connie!. His Lordfhip was in a Court did's, bottle
green, with cot fleet buttons; he was untobed. He
fat with his fEce towards the box of the Managers of
the Impeachment. He looked extremely we:l, and
had in his countenance all hi. charaftetillic fit mnef.,
ithoc: any unbectraing br'..!nt•fi. He feemed per.
feelly fintible of the fituatiuti in uhich he llnJl ; itut
Oiewed a Ip.t it unbtokens and capable of bearing up
aAainti all the difficulties vs ids which he has to
contend.

We have already dated that in the box allotted to
Lord Melville's Contifil, Mr. Robert Doodah, Lulli.
Melville's fun, lat. He exhibited a very digni6A anal
inter:lting union of I...nli`dlity and firtnnel.. His co..t.
dila in the Houle of Commons, in the moll trying
ktifeillTions relAtiv,.: to Lord Melville's cnniudt, bad
p,moully ettablithed a general feeling of ierpea for
his charaCier, which he tultained very well by his be=
coming deportment yefterday. He was inquired af.
ter with eagernels by every pert .n who had not fen
him before, and pointed out with admiration by every
one who knew him.

Mr. Whitbread fluted all the &verges ; amt• as
frytti as he had concluded, the Lord Chancellor left
the table where he had fat covered, from the !Oa.
tecncement of the proceeding, and refunred his feat
nposs.the Wool Sack. The Court then adjourned
until ten o'clock this clay, and the Hon;es of Lords t,r,
and Commons retired in the fame order, and with
the fame ceremonies which they had qbferved an en-
tering it. The Barons Ain, then the Vikounts,
tarts, • Marqdifies, Dukes, then the Chancellor, pre-
ceded by his mace and -purfe.searers ; then the
Archbifhop of Canterbury, the Royal Dukes, as be-
fore, and tall, his Royal Highnefa• the Prince of
Wales. The gracetulnefs of the Prince's faint. to the
Throne, as he palled, and the dignity of his deport-
ment, excited univettsl adm'ration. Virconnt IM
viik retired immediately after the Lords, thronglatber
fame door at which be bad entered,. The ComMedeis
with the Speaker at their head, followed the Lord*
'and after them the Managers.
The Peereffes, with their daughters, retired two
and two, through the Houfe of -Lords, frosty which
they entered their carriages. The carriages began ID
arrive between two and three o'clock, andat the latter
hour, they formed a complete firing. as io the morn-
ing, reaching from the Haymarket to Waikagoiler
Hall. At Charing-croft, the accumulation of car-
riages, waggons, and other vehicles was fo great, as
to completely choke op the place, and to prevent all
pairage for a confiderable time. Mary elegant equi-
pdges were much damaged. It was OM 7 o'clock
before the tall of them drove off from the Hall.—
Many Ladies, rather than (ohmic to the delay, walked
home from Palace Yard. Several Peers, in flowing
robes, followed the example. No chairs nor hackney
coaches could be procured. The populace muttered
ten times (ironger than in the morning ; but the con-
lattice and guards focceeded in preferring the fame
,order and regularity. A temporary confeaioner's
(hop was fretted within the Hall, at the foot of the
lairs leading to the Court of Exchequer, which af-
forded a fearonable (apply to thole who did not case
provided for fo long a fitting..
Wein:jotter Hall never before prefented Co grand.
beautirul, and piaorefque a difplay. Almoft every
woman of tank and falbion in town was prelim, and
from the difpofition of the light, and the formation
of the place, their charms Atone to great advantage.
Neither the Opera Houfe, nor any other public fpec-
tacle in tows, is fo favourable fur the difplay of fa-
male beauty.
The pretence of loch a fplendid gronpe of tits/ester
afforded us an apportunity ofobferving what was molt
generally worn, and moll falbionable for half drels:
the Ladies wore turbans, with veils, or veils with
flowers or tiaras in frost; muflin and lace caps, or-
namented with flowers, coloured (ilk caps, with lace
and flowers of the fame colour, and thole compared
entirely of a fibs:, bad a very Emple and elegant
appearance ; white Patin tippets edged round with
fwanfilown, and twilled filk (carves. trimmed with
pletfh, with bronze and gold tairlis at the corners ;
the fpencer Efpaprole, in white and colours ; palates,
mantles, &c. White drelfes were univerfal, fcarcely
any colour,cl were vifible ; the ridicule teemed more
i ajheillible than ever, as it was converted into all
armoire, and arpeared to contain Sandwiches, &c. as
well as the little et cetera: for which it was invented.
