Service in the Chai.el of the Asylum in St. Getrgcs
Fields, on Sunday morning, it was crowded ";

indeed, were at the door before eight, and the he::
in consequence was excessive. The service, howe7er,
delayed till nearly half an hour after the usual time,
and it was not till about half-
past eleven that the
Duke and his illustrious Consort entered a pew inhe
western gallery, which had been superbly fitted up
with crimson velvet and cushions for the occasic-

wore the insignia of the Order of the Bath. As sec,
as the Royal -Party had taken their seats, the ser,;,

Roy al Highness joined very fervently ; indeed througl.
out the service he gave the responses in the most
dible and impressive manner. The Rev.Mr.WmTt
afterwards preached an excellent sermon. The ehil.
dren, who were particularly noticed by the Duchess,
and appeared to give her the most lively satisfuticn,
were very neatly dressed, and each of them wore ea
her left side a large white favour. Six female cr.

the periods of their apprenticeships, attended in the
chapel to return thanks. Their Royal Highream,

dreadfully, especially about the threat and neck;
and had not immediate assistance bean at hand, the
consequences would have seen fatal.
