SIMSKED BALL AT BURLINGriN HOUSE.

_

Z7,-;

Last night 'Wader's ebb had their grand fete in
honour or the Duke of Virstixsorott, at tlurlingttat
House. The extensive preparation made to give
clat to the entertainment, rendered it a scene of
gaiety, elegance, and splendour seldom witnessed.
Over Ate pillars at the grand entrance, the name of
61 Wellingtcm" appeared in large characters, pro-
ducing a luminous appearance.
The libby within the portals of this superb build-
ings, which formed a grand promenade, with mirrors
and lustres at the late entertainment, Was converted
into a supper roans, •leaving temporary rooms which
led to the apartment, formerly the royal MOM.
on thia occasion was one of the most splendid Apart-
ments for the company to walk‘rn 'weever
Half way down there was a ;name leading on the
right to the Ball-room, and on the left to.the. SuPPer-
room. Beyond those turningi appeared a grove of
natural orange trees, with it vast profusion of the moat'
beau, ful and odor iforous shrubs, clusters ()Imes, dec.
At the end of this beautiful grove stood *goat
pedestal, with a bast of the Duke of WeDisk.
The decorations and drapery 'of the ..room
were composed of pink and Aire, with rich seats of
the same, covered with yellow, an l festoons of flowers
between the pillars. At the further end a stage rose
several feet from the floor, which was intended for
bards of music. The floor was chalked in excellent
st) le. The figures were principally formed in vitt-
pliment to the Duke of Wellington. At one end a
warrior appeared in armour, between the words “ Vit-
toria" and " Toulouse." Various emblematical
figures surrounded him. In the centre appeared the
arms of the Duke of Wellington, wish lions his sup-
porters, and motto, 66 Pornm won, eta ttectuarium."
At the bottom of the flour the royal arms weredone
to 'correspond with the rest of the devices. This
room, on the whole, was admirable for adornment,
coolness, iind convenience. The supper roosts was
fitted up with the utmost 4nopriety, elegance, and
neatness. -The pillars were misled with roses, and'
deep festoons of fl,raers hung between each, forming
. a most pleasing display. A table at top was laid out
in a superior style for the Royal guests, lighted by
the most brilliant lustres and gold caudalabras. The
Duke of Devonshire, Lord Sefton, Lord Kinnaird,
and a numerous patty of Nobles, dined at Burlington
House, tube in readiness to receive the company,
which began to arrive at.ten o'clock. • The military
and other bands, which had taken their stltions, com-
menced the merry suunds.of invitation, and- the MAE.
quer-asters, as they enteardi proceeded down the Pro;
menade to the Ballroom, Nearly all the theatrical
dress-makers in town had been ordered to provide
babilithents for almost every character. in Christen-
. dom. The new and happy turn in public affairs gave
great scope.to the talent and fancy of those who ad-
mired peratit4cation. The company slid,. not sepa
rate from the allnrements•of Terpsichore's court till
Sol rose to,iiibt them to impose. .The Duke of Wel-
lington was among the lists of distinction.

ruffianly to both. They subsequently got out in the

that *rely hour in the morning. At length a parole

was unwilling to prosecute, and the p.urcle might let
them both and he himself go away. To this they an-
swtred, that this charge was a stronger reason why
they should all go to the watch•house. The girls
were searched, but there was found only 24d. between
them. He was detained, and one of the patroles took
