ted by many hundreds of variegated lamps.
banners of the Company, that is, the cele.
flag presented to Earl ST. VINCENT on his
the Ville de Paris, a French man of war)
glorious achievement, was hung up in the
with other emblems of victory. At the top
the room appeared the whole-length Portrait of
WILLIAM WALWORTH, who killed WAT TYLER, with
the identical dagger suspended.
The floor was chalked for six sets of quadrilles, in
a very handsome style. On the entrance of the Prince
of SAX E•CODOLIEG and Lord ERSKINE, who were re-
ceived with acclamations, the dancing commenced,
vihich was kept up with great sririt till five o'clock.
Country dances, conimencing with Chandos Lodge,
taking the lead. An immense chandelier of cut
Fl ass, the chains encircled by variegated lamps and
flowers, occupied the centre of the room. An excel-
lent band of musicians gave an indescribable effect
to the scene, by a most harmonious concert ; it was
perhaps the hest band ever heard in the city of Lon-
don. A military band (the first Life Guards) occu-
pied one of the avenues. On the whole, it was a
most animating spectacle.

. ;
The Archbishop of CANTIRBURY'S last Public En-1
tertainment, for the season, took place en Saturday,
at Lambeth Palace, which was very fully attended.
. The beautiful Miss S—T--14 whilst absorbed in

the very tempest and whirlwind of a most delicious
waltz at Almack's, on Wednesday night, was deserted
by one of her ear-rings (a diamond one of great va-
lue); and, we believe, it has not yet returned to her.
The Lady has the consolation, however, of knowing
that the faithless brilliant can never glitter on a
fairer neck.

lIIANDLIVE, Lord FINGAL, the Dean of LITCHFIELD,
Lady DOYLE, Lady SMITH, and General RILEY and

The Opera, on Saturday, was again attended even
to an overflow, and presented the most brilliant as-
semblage of the first ranks in society, as could be
well collected together on one occasion. The ex-
quisite music which Rossitn's Tancredi affords, to-
gether with the rapid and lively dance which the
present numerous carps de ballet is so well calculated
to produce, have, we trust, so secured the f4vour of
the real and liberal friends of the Establishment, as
to insure a prosperous season. Both Opera and Ballet
were received with rapturous applause. Among the
company were—
