rank and profession, and ornamented with the Crests
and Arms of the Nobility who were present.
His Royal Highness was in excellent spirits th.
whole evening, and all was love and loyalty among
his guests. When the health' of the KING, the PRINCE
REGENT, and the -DUKE were drank, the most tumul-
tuous joy followed.
After supper, dancing was restimed'and continued,
with refreshments of every description, tilt five o'clock
this morning, when the company began to separate.
In the course of the evening several houses werz
lighted up ; and, but for the wind and rain which pre:
railed, the whole town and shipping Would have beet
illuminated out of respect to his Royal Highness.--

Hotel, were prepared for a fine display of variegated
lamps tastefully arranged, with the initial letters of
his Royal Highness's name and title ; but the rain .
poured in torrents and prevented the grand display
kern being completed. All the interior passages
and stair-cases, however, of the Albion Hotel wee
re:teamed with oak and laurel, and beantifullyirra-
diated with lamps. Detachments of soldienisuardied
all the avenues to the Hotel, where, by his .Rasit
Highness' "command, they also were well eatarsaissed
with a supper, &c. • :ia
