THE TENTS.

The entrance to these erections on the lawn WAS
from the supper rcoins, by a neat and particularly
elegant temporary promenade, ['carded and covered
with sail cloth, about sixty yards in length, lined with
green glazed cotton, fluted very elegantly ; artificial
flowers in each angle, and a brilliant chandelier under
each dome. There were entrances on each side the
promenade, with curtains to each, and artificial
flowers in festoons 4.n each side. These entrances
led to a suit of ether tentc, b►anching out on each
side, amounting to eighteen, and in all of them
supper was laid for twenty-eight. Every tent was
lighted in the centre with a patent lamp, with four
burners, the lines of thetzt covered with artificial
flowers. The tables lightea with wax candles. The
end of the promenade finished with the PRINCE Ra.
GENT'S tent, used occasionally when he attends re-
views, lined Kith ligl►t printed cotton ; the centre
pole was ornamented with artificial dowers; two naval
tents branched out en each side of it, with horse.shoe
tables:

At seven o'clock a detachment cf dragoons were
stationed in Pall-mall. The guards wore also posted
in the' Colin-yard of the Palace. The servants of
his Royal Highness's Household appeared in their
richest liveries, and every airargernent was made for
the reception of visitors. The Qt.EEN and PRINCESSES
returned to the Palace between seven :Ind eight
o'clock, from dining with the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
and prcceeded to dress for the PitiNcE's Me About
nine o'clock the carriages of the Nobility began to
drive up, and soon atter her MAJESTY and the Prin.
CCSSeS CHARLOTTE of WALES, ELIZABETH, MARY, and
SOPIHA of GLOUCESTER, arrived. The company de-
scended to the Gothic Hall by the grand staircase,
which was adorned on the occasion with the finest
shrubs.

The Dukes of Yorac, CAMBRIDGE, KENT, and Gou-
CESTER were present. The QUEEN took a superb seat
prepared for her at the head of the table. The
PRINCE was on her right, the Duke of YORK next,
and the Royal Brothers in succession. The Princesses
sat on the left of the QUEEN. The French Princes,
English Dukes, Marquisscs, and Earls followed, each
according to his rank. at the Prince's table. The
other distinguished persons occupied the rooms ad-
joining the Gothic Hall, which appeared one blaze
of light and gold. The company at the greatest dis-
tance from the Prince's table had a most cheering
coup d'ail of the illustrious board. The (2../EEN and
Princesses had their dresses made for the occasion,
under their own immediate inspection, (inept the
Princess CHARLOTTE Of WALES and SOPHIA of Gtou-
cEsTEß. They were most tastefully attired. The
Quasi wore a profusion of diamonds, and the Prin-
cesses never appeared more interesting. The Ladies'
dresses throughout were superbly elegant.
Dancing, which was kept up in the Ball-room with
great spirit, until day-light warned the festive vota-
ries to retire. The rain, which fell incessantly, proved
a considerable alloy to the pleasures of the Fete, as
the tepls, which had promised rod coolness and nt.

SMALL Pox INOCULATIOV.-It was stated yesterday
by Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in the House of Lords, in
the cow se of the discussion on the Vacciaation Bill,
that inoculating with the small pox near any place
to which his Majesty's subjects resort, is an indictable
offence in all the persons concerned in it; and that
persons are also in like manner indictable for exposing
themselves with the small pox upon them.

endanger his life. Prior to his removal !torn the spot,
where several persons had collected, a by-stander ex- 1
pressed his surprise, that on &inr cf the 7th shag'

'rurnip sowing is scarcely commenced yet, and,
;less some warm showeri 11, will be late: Barley
id oats are particularly in want of rain and 'warm
earber looking but indifferently. Peas and beans
good. Rye and tares have been much taken off
the slug, of which the breed this year is immense,
id.great danger is probable to accrue from them to
ie coming turnip crop. In the greatest probability,
oe damage done to the turnip plant, usually attribu.
td. to the fiy, is really effected by young slugs.
Hops are promising, but will soon want warm
:towers. Apple and cherry-trees much injured by
I;ht. Onion crop generally bad.
Wheat is an irregular crop. Much has looked ill
kid defective throv,hcut the season, which portion
le late cold and blighting weather has by no means
nproved. Sorne well planted wheats, upon fine and
iorough cultivated lands,. make a most luxuriant
isplay. In some districts the weak and inferior
vheats were much beaten down by the rains. The
Whole crop will be affected, to a certain degree, by
he constant blight which has prevailed tithing so
nany weeks, and which, in course, has been more in-
urious at the blooming season.
Cattle Markets still continue high in the country,
ioth for fat and lean stock ; the latter, however, has
ieen somewhat reduced in price by the coldness of
ire weather, which is much against the growth of
teep. A defect of the solar heat, without which
wither the vegetable nor izs seed can be perfected, has
ieen most remarkable during the preceding month.

Mr. MAGEE, Proprietor of the Dublin Evcning Post,
as sentenced, in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin,
n Friday last, to one month's imprisonment from the

Four men are appointed to watch Nicholson, inCold-
ath-fields prison, relieving each other alternately.—
eis allowed an airing for two hours every day. He
akes his food abundantly, and is in good health, no
angerous effect remaining from hts wound. Oa
hursday and Saturday he underwent examinations
n the prison, when the regular informations which
ave been committed to writing, were read over to
witnesses, who signed them in the presence of
icholson.
Monday night a boy, about thirteen years of age,
'n the employ of Mr. Turner, jeweller, of Bond street,
as sent with a small parcel, containing jewels and
earl ornaments to the amount of about £5O, to Mrs.
LESTER, in Stratford-place. He was met by a man
in Orford-street, who urged him to go with him, to
I shew him the way to Wimpole-street, which the boy
declined, but directed him the way, refusing to ac-
rcompany him. When the boy got into Stratford-
place, within two hopses of Mrs. Lester's, he was met
!by a boy running in great haste, who asked him if le
!Was coming from Mr. Turner's. saying, Mrs. Lester,
his mistress, was waiting for the articles, took them
fic.m him, and desired him to return and send their
foreman.—lt proved to be t:e old frau].
