religious denominations, in two capacious schools, ,
situate In North-street, City-road. It had been well
known for many days before this Concert took place,
that her MAJESTY intended to honour it with her
presence; and, in consequence, no inconsiderable

HOOD, was ushered into the Ladies Committee
Room, where she partook of some refreshment. "At

her to a magnificent seat, surmounted with a canopy,
which had been prepared to receive her.—Among
