The first hereditary Duke created in England was
the. Black Prince. by his father, Rownan 111. in A.D.
1226. The Duchy of Cornwall, then bestowed upon
bins, thenceforward became attached to the eldest son
of the Kayo, who is considered to be dux WM 8. Tne
Duchy of Lancaster was soon after conferred on his
third son, Jona of Ganser ; and thence arose the special
privileges which these two Duchies still in part retain.
in the ham %ins Reign, 21 Richard 11. MARGARITt

reign, of Ecrzanavu. in 1572. the Ducal order was ex•

Yesterday terminated the amusements of this memo-
rable Jubilee, which had extited so much cariosity, and
has afforded unqualified delight to many thousands tof
individuals. The town was not very full of country
Visitors, but the attendance of the principal families at
the Morning Conceit, at the White Lion Rooms, was
more numerous than at the Public Breakfast the pre-
vious day, and it is the only fault of the Committee, in
this commemorative ceremonial, that they did not adopt
Shakspeare's Hall for the purpose. The Concert, both
in the vocal and instrumental parts, was well sustained
by amateurs, and performers from Mr. RA:Noun's Com-
pany, who exerted themselves in so able a Manner as to
please a crowded' udience for nearly four hours. Soon
after the Concert had closed, the Theatrical Company
left the town in a carriage, drawn by six horst•s„ pre-
ceded by the military band, and escorted. by a number
of the towns-people, who thus strongly testified their
approbation of the Corps Dransvtiyue, for the at•
tention and support they had given to the Pageant.
Mr. Ryan's Equestrian Troops also occasionally pa-
raded the town and, between the Concert and Sall,
many parties visited the birth-plsce of SHAESPAAIIit,
and his funeral monuments in St. Mary's Church. where
a great number of names were registered in the books
kept for that purpose. The Ball In the evening com-
menced at eight o'clock, in: Shakspeare's Hall, which,
in addition to the decorations used at the dinner, dis-
played the several banners bearing the names of Shak-
speare's Plays. carried in the Pageant on Monday, and
brilliantly illuminated, internally and externally. with
many thousand variegated lamps. The company was
very numerous and respectable, and the dance was
going on when our account left. Ii was supposed that
this Festival would have been attended by a much
greater number of persons, but for some misunder-
standing that arose, partly owing to the diffidence of
.he Committee, who were unwilling to extend their
pr,mises too far. So greatly, however, is the satisfac•
don felt by.atl parties, that many individuals have al.
rradT subscribed to the next triennial meeting, which
it is intended will be on a scale of unparalleled magni-
ficence; all the Characters of SeiAESPAARE are to be
introduced, and the subscription will be general all
over the kingdom.
