but of course not so crowded with sqbstantials. The
Duke of NORFOLK and the Marchioness of STAF.
'oars, are expected to lead off the dance upon " 'ha
light fantastic toe."
The Ball Room is on the North tower, it is calcu-
lated to dance about 300 couple conveniently : it is
hung with pictures, painted by the first ancient and
modern artists : among them are many ports:tits of
the HOWARD family. At the four corner extremi:
des are glasses of nine feet in dimensioug, the flames
of which have undergone many plain but curly de-
corations. The lamps projecting from the sides a e
plain, bat produce a great brilliancy of light. On
the mantle-pieces are richly cut candelabras. Al.
though the roof is extremely lefty, there ar lir% chan-
deliers suspended from it, as his Grace prefers the
Irefection of light from the sides. The floor is chalked
with many emblematical devices, festoons, wreaths
of flowers, laurels, &c. The figures of a lion and
a horse, as the supporters of the family arms, are
introduced in various situations ; they are exquisitely
chalked by artists from London. It is impossiele to
give a correct idea of the Gothic splendour of the
nmickotp room. The pounds are covered with crier.
am velvet, and divided by rims of gold.
Lord MORPETH, Lord &racer, Mr. KNIGHT, Mr.
BEttramg, &c. &c. have just arrived.

road, a most appropriate Sermon was preached by
the Bishop of CLIME" beicre his Royal Highnrss
the Duke of KENT, and a great number of the Nobi-
lity, for the benefit of the Dollar Benevolent Society,
which is conducted by Ladies. It was most delight-
ful to behold Ladies of such rank as the Duchess of
WELLINGTON. the Dowager Countess of HARCOURT,
Ladies R. SEYMOUR, ANN/ CULLING SIMI!, H
FORD, Bzsistze, and the Honourable Mrs. .00C11.

eloquent Preacher " they looked like ministering
Angels, obeying the mandate of our LORD and
SAVIOUR Jesus -CHRIST, in entreating relief for tl.e
widow, the orphan, the aged, the stranger, the sick,
the impotent, and the blind." The collection and
donations since received amount to nearly £loo.
The Chapel was so crowded, that several who came
in their carriages were obliged to return.

in the Netherlands, yet there are many persons, both
in the City and at the West End of the Town, who
maintain an opinion that we 114 have no war. Nay,
so sanguine are they, that a large sum has been given
in Guinea', to receive, for every Five Guineas so
given, a Lottery Ticket, should we continue atpeace :
upon what foundation they ground this opinion, we
are at a loss to conceive; should they be right, it will
cause a demand for Tickets, unprecedented in former
