THE KING.

Yesterday afternoon, it half-past flirt o'clock, his
Mixtirr arrived at his Palace in Pannell,- from
Brighton, in his travelling carriage, 'escorted by
party of Light Horse. Soon after the arrival
he dined. Preparations were then made fbrhis MA•
JZSTY'S first visit to the Italian Opera since his ac-
cession to the Throne, where every possibie prepara-
tion was made by the Committee and %inept foe
the reception of the Soviamox.
. The entrance under the colonnade in the Harnstrket
to the Royal Bax,• was covered with scarlet cloth.
The anti-room to the Ktio's room *as lined with'
white satin, with festoons of gold lace ; the top
formed that of a tent. It was furnished with a sofa,
and lighted with large wax-lights. The Royal Box
was most magnificently fitted up with crimson satin
;did gold lace, the top similar to that of the anti-
room. The KING and his suite passed through the
Concert-room. The Earl of Avis:sawn; Viscount
LOWTHER, Count Sr. ANTONIO, Mr.ERERS, and Mr.
Avarox, were in attendance to receive his Matzsrt.
A few minutes before eig:it o'clock the Royal Oro-
cession moved from the Palace in the following Order :

the l'age of Honour, add Colonel Dance, the Silver Stick in.

troller of the Household, and fhe Master of the Re/es.

His MAJESTY, attired in the uniform of a Field
Marshal, and attended by the Dukes of Yonk, CLA-
RING; WELLINGTON, and MONTROSE, besides his
personal Staff, entered the Royal Box precisely at
eight o'clock, when the Band immediately struck up
GOD save the King:" and by one stuuslris
movement, the pit, oozes, and gallery, rose, with.
most rapturous and unanimous acclamations ferreted
the Royal presence. His MAJeort- seemed much
affected, and bowed repeatedly in token of the sa-
tisfaction which these convincing proofs of loyalty
and good feeling gave him. The vocal part of the
loyal Anthem was given alternately by Mesdames
Conrottese and Vestals, and Signora Moat; the
audience 'unanimously ecstatically jotnuasin the cho-
rus. His MAJZSTY was in excellent spirits—looked
remarkably well, and during the progress of the
Opera gave repeated and unequivocal marks of sa-
tisfaction. The Duke of Ct./tan/cc sat on his left,
and the Duke of Yoax on his right hand, while the
Dukes of WELLINGTON and MONTROSR, and other
distinguished Noblemen occupied the remainder of
the box, those on either side being filled by his Mat
Jury's suite. In the box immediately opposite to the
KING'S was seared the Marchioness of HERTFORD. In
the interval between the first and second acts the au-
dience again rose up, and called for " GOD save the
King," which was repeated as at first. After the
Opera, a very appropriate and beautiful allegorical
scene was introduced into the Ballet, in which Fame
is represented pointing to the impressive motto—
" GOD save the King," depicted on a rainbow, extend-
ing completely across the Stage. At the conclusion
of the piece for the third ume, " GOD save 'the
King" was Played and sung, followed by " Rule
Britannia," his MAJESTY standing and bowing to
the audience; after which the truly interestingitio-
NARCII retired, enthusiastically greeted with loud and'
continued acclamations.
