The MARZUIS of SALISBURn BlRrH.nitr.

The birth.day of this amiable Nobleman (who
completed the 55th year of his age) was celebrated
at Hatfield on Thurfday 14, in the true flyle of old
Englifh hofpitality.
The Marchionefs gave a fete, the pleafures of
which could have been only increafed by the pretence
of her Lord, who was with his regiment at Ipfwich.
The furtounding Nobility, Gentry, &c. were invited
to a fupper and concert. 'After breakfafi the Mar.
chionefs, accompanied by Mr. Hass and his two
,tons, rode on horfeback through the beautiful woody
park that fkirts the lately manfion. On their returno
about four o'clock, they fat down to dinner in the
fummer parlour. The company confikted of about(
twenty, the table was laid out in a ftyle of the fir*
elegance. The frame in the centre was ornamented
with images emblematic of the happy occafion. Thel
Ladies, immediately after dinner, withdrew to drefsi
and the Gentlemen, having paid the accuftomed
nours to the rofy god, walked on the lawn till the:
letting fun, with *, fatewell tweet," proclaimed the
arrival of he Company. - •

The vifitors were ufbentd into St: James's Room,
a fpacious apartment, richly decorated-with fosse of
the happieß efforts of the child and the pencil. The
Ilatue of King James the Firll adorns the centre of
the lofty dome, with full lengths of their precut
Majefties on each fide. On the entrance the eye
is agreeably ftruck with the portraits of the happy
pair who now, and who, it is hoped, will long con-
tinue to maintain the honours of the Houfe of Clem ;
with feveral others, beautifully difperfed in different
parts.
Looking glafes of fellable dimenfions were placed
at each end of the room, and the (pace between each
window was filled with the fame polifhed material.
The furniture befpoke the title and magnificence of
the Lord of the domain.: upwards of two dozen'
white Patin hair-bottomed chairs, elegantly 014 with
arms, fophas, cufbions, pillows, &c. The floor was
covered witha rich India matting-carpet, and two
large balloon chandeliers were fufpended from the
tiding, with wax and fide lights. The interftices of
the three windows were filled with rich marble ta-
bles, fportively inlaid with various flowers "in native
dye ;" and laid out in a manner that invited " the
palling eye." The centre table was diftinguifhed by
a fine dial, in all the pride of workmanfhip, with an
oval mirror on each fide.

Such is the faint outline of the room that was
prepared to receive thole who came to hall the happy
return of that day.
If the eye was highly charmed, the ear was not
lets fo ; vocal and indrumental mufic united their
powers; the Marchionefs herfelf, at intervals,
touched the Itring with her wonted powers, and fill
heightened the harmonic treat.
The next room. the Long Gallery, was richly and
curioufly wainscoted. and embellifhed with a long fe-
ries cf family pidures. In this elegant Vino, tf
may be lo called, on a fide table, was the model of
an Indian Temple, cut out of ivory, about two feet
in height, and three in breadth, forming a perfett
Apure, covered with a glafs cafe. In this apartment
tables were laid out for tea, coffee. atc,
_ _ _

On one fide of the fire-place flood Queen Ann's
armchair, with a crimfon foot-Roof, richly gilr.—
The windows of the gallery are happily difpofed, to
command an enchanting view of the wood, the lake,
with the Maps, water-fowl, &c. and the different
feats, that are fprinkled " in gay confufion" in the
vicinity of Hatfield.
When Midnight attended her Ratty throne, the
company palled through this antique pelage to the
Libtary, where there was a bode-Moe table laid oat
in moll elegant (Lyle, at which t4o perfoos fat down
to (upper. The plates and dillies were all of folid
filer gilt, with the arms of the family.
The (upper confißed of every delicacy of the lea-
fon. The table was ornamented with burniftied gold
branches, each holding three candles, whilll the luftre
that beamed without a glare exhibited a galaxy of
female beauty that would have warmed the coldeft
philofopher, who was honoured with a bug in this
depot of learning.
The Marble Hall, on this occafion, likewife claimed
a (hare in the (chive keno. It was ornamented with
a reprelentation of the Review at Hatfield in the year
t Soo, which was honoured with the prefence of his
Maims,, with a diftent view of the Mention itfelf.
The colours difplayed on that day are hung up in
this Hall, with the names of the different officers on
(crofts of parchment.
As every thing was performed that could recal
the memento of pall pleafures, or enliven thole that
were on wing, the company did not feparate till the
morning fun mixed his (miles with thole that (hone
wi the coaataipmeaof the joyous grays.
