Last night the splendid deedratiotis which
guished the Coronation Fete on Monday night were re.
petted, with, if possible, additional effect ; and the g
dens boasted an unprecedented galaxy of rank 4174
beauty. The great novelty of the evening was the pt.
formance of the French juggler, who, so far as ag;h!.

rings, was concerned, surpassed the best effot is of the
Indians, whose feats excited universal admiration.
French juggler exhibited also a series of balancing which
were truly astonishing. A musical battle piece was per.
formed with great effect, which was composed for the
occasion. Numerous distinguished families were present.
