GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
There were very few coloured drafts; white and
fdver, or white and gold, being generally worn...-.
Among the colour►, however, lilac, violet, and green,
prevailed. Oftrich feathers were univerfally worn ;
they were mofily green, yellow, and purple. They
were worn to the number of liven, eight, and eleven,
in each plume.

There was a grcat difplay of diamonds. The of-
ficers of the army and navy compoled two.ihirds of
the gentlemen, and were dreffed is uniforms, a par-
ticular defcriptioa, therefore, cannot be interefling.
The new ttate liveries were very numerous and
fplendid.
A vat' number of new Carriages were launched in
honour of the Birth• Day.

On Saturday night all the tradefmen of the Royal
Family, the Theatres, Subleriptino Houfes, Fire and
Public Offices, made a molt brilliant difplay of
minations, in honour of Her blot ITT'S Birth-Day.
The Opera on Saturday was molt foperb in recta
of the blaze of faffiiiin and be.itiry, with which the
bursts were filled. On the cot-cation of the (Zysaa's
Birth Day, there being no ball at St. James's, the
Ladies appeared in the beacbdrcffes worn at the
Drawing Room, and confequently decorated with
diamonds and plumes. Many Ladies alto, who were
not at St. James's, in &Out compliment to her Ma-
)lliTYp appeared in diamonds.

Mr. Purr is fix far from being well. that it is not
believed poll blebecan appear in his place to.morrow.
Indeed. arrangements have been made fcr opening the
Seffion without him.
