and futmottnted by the Crown.
• The Office of the Comrnißioners of Naval inquiry
in Great George-firer, Weliminfter, difplayed a
matt beautiful anchor in front, In large as to cover
the greater part of the houfe, without any ornament
or aci.iition whatever.
Doti ning-greet was one continued blaze of light,
and the bottles of the Great Offit err of State, in
'whatever part of the town they were, feemed to have
Joule a little neighbourhood, who together made a
eery handfonte appearance. The honk of the Duke
of York and a few others in Portman-ll:pare, alfo
'`formed a little clutter of illuminations, which looked
Very near.
: Carl,t n Houfe appeared ratter more folemn than
,ty tight. as there was no fort of illumination, but two
large flambeaux between the different pillars in front
of the bi.ilding.
• Northnmberland Hoofe had a very magnificent
appearance, as it is a very long range of uniform
-adding, and the whole of it from bottom to top,
, was ele.ely illuminated.
The different Theatres were illuminated with their
dual tape and grandeur.
-Drury Lane had an anchor encircled with laurels,
-placed between the letters L. N. and furrounded with '

vy/Gen the letters A. N.
'be Little Theatre had an anchor placed between
*lie fame initiels.
The Union and other Club-hoofer were illuminat-
ed, but not in that fplendid manner that we have no-
titzzl'on former occafions.
The Manflon Houfe had the form of an anchor,
encircled with a wreath of laurel, very neatly done
in variegated lamps in the centre of the building,
with a Crown over the Anchor, and G. R. in plain
gold coloured lamps. each letter being furrounded
with a frame of lamps of the fame enloar.
The Pail Office had each entrance illuminated, the
arch of the gateway going in being covered with

The Cullom Houfe and Escife were illuminated

The Ti inity houfe on Tower-bill, had a very hand.
fome Crown over their do'or in variegated lamps,with
two tridents of plain lamps eroding each other, fo as
to foppor t the Crown.
But for brilliancy of appearance, there was not any
thing to be teen in any part of the metropolis to equal
or to come near the fplendour of the India Houle.—
k The fix pillars were nearly covered with lamps, the

wirs4ontakwere eensipletely fn. There was a brilliant
flar ,nr, a' &Me 4.tranfparent lamps at each end of
the building; the initials G. R. alto flamed round
in the fame handinnie manner, were placed betu tett
the Stars, and an Anchor. lupported with laurels,
which was in the centre. It was hardly poili6le to
move along the (beet at this place, the grandeur of
the illumination had attrafted inch a crowd of people.
Guildhall, in the City, made a very fplendid ap-
pearance, having the B,y!I of Lord Nellon, with a
Crown of Laurels over his head, and the Cron,
Anchor, tee. extending alma overn the whole hunt
of the b.iiYing.
Mr Williams, of Cornhill, had the word Nelfon
at full length in variegated lamps on a tlained marble
gronnd, which had a very handfnme drat.
Taylor, a baker, in Fteet-Itreet, amufed the croud
with a reprefentation of the perpetual motion, by
placing two fpiral pieces of foil on the end of a piece
of wire, In as to be drawn round almoll conftamly by
the blaze of each candle to which they were affixed.
There were feveral other illuminations, however,
of a very different defeription : one exhibited the
words " Peace to the &ail of the Hero ;" another
" Clarum et venerahile nornea." A print (hop, in

" Sacred to the hlentory of Lord Nelfr,n."

Nelfon, the flan of the Vidory, and Britannia with a

painted, with the words
The VieCry'sgreatbut

The his Irre

There were feveral others. of the fame defctiption,
and even the mob in the Rreetsfeemed to participate
in the general feeling, for although the illumination
was very hr from being general. the word lights was
not vocirerared as natal upon oceafirsn of in ex:nor-
dime y Vt&nry, nor tiid the writer of this obfervation
fee a angle pane of glafs hr ken from one end of the
town to the other, though every man did as his feel-
ings led him ; and it moil be confeffed that the vo;ce
of the mob is in general more imperative. 'rhea
moderation in this inflance did honour to their feel-
ings as Englithmen.

Such is the extraordinary attmetions of nr. Moors,
