THE WATERLOO BANQUET.—Friday being the 32d PM,
niversary of the memorable victory of Waterloo, his Graca
the Duke of Wellington gave his annual banquet to lea
gallant surviving companions in arms in that eyentfai
battle, at Apsley.house. The banquet was laid out with
its accustomed splendour, in the Waterloo Gallery, the trutj
magnificent decorations of which have on former occasion&
been so fully described as to render repetition unnecessary.
Field Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended
by the Marquis of Abercorn, Lieutenant-General Sr
Edward Bowater, and Colonel Bowles, honoured the noble.
and gallant Duke with his presence, arriving at Apaley....
house about half-past 7 o'clock. His Royal Highness, veils
was attired in the uniform of a field-marshal, was received
on alighting from his carriage by his Grace the Duke et
Wellington, the band of the Grenadier Gum's, whioli WAS
stationed in the vestibule, playing the "National Anthem."
His Royal Highness and the noble Duke immediately pro-
ceeded to the saloon, where several officers had already
assembled. The scene in the vicinity of Apsley-house wag
at this moment very pleasing. A considerable number of
persons had assembled to view the arrival of the visitora.
amongst whom were many old veterans, whose conduct na
the field was marked by the honorary distinction displayers
on their breasts'. At 3 o'clock dinner was announced, alai
the guests immediately passed from the saloon to the gal-
lery, which presented a most gorgeous appearance, the
sideboards being covered with the choicest plate, embracing
testimonials to the noble Duke during his memorable career-
in Spain and Portugal ; while the table, which was richly
ornamented with a pro 'us ion of gold vases and chandelab ra.
presented a display alike imposing and magnificent. The
noble Duke occupied a seat in the centre of the table, and
was supported on the right by his Royal :-Highness the
Prince Consort. Their Excellencies tie Hanoverian armi
Neapolitan Ministers, the Marquis of Anglesey, and Major--
General Sir Harry Smith, also occupied seats in the imin&-.
diate vicinity of the chair. The noble Duke was attired be
his uniform of field-marshal ; the Marquis of Angtese3r
wore the dress of his old regiment, the 7th -Hussars, and
Sir Harry Smith that of the Rifle Brigade. The other-
veterans worei the costume of their respective ranks, al.
displaying Waterloo medals and other honorary decora-
tions. Covers were laid for nearly 90 guests. In the hst
of attendants there was not much alteration from previons
years ; additions were, however, observable in the perso
of Earl Cathcart, who has just returned from Canada, Sir
Peregrine Maitland, from the Cape, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Furlong, who commanded the Light Brigade.
during the review on Thursday last.
RYDAL LAKE.—Rydal lake is a gem. Small enough
to lie in one of the bays of Windermere, it yet is a lake
perfect in all its parts. It has even its little green islands
—on one of which is a heronry—and around it is a belt
of wood-clad hills and noble mountains. On the east is
the little village, with its neat modern chapel, built by
Lady le Fleming. Passing up the lane by Glen Rothay,
you soon arrive at Rydal Hall, the seat of the le Flemings,
and Wordsworth's cottage on Rydal Mount. The park
of Rydal Hall is the finest in these parts. Large trees
are rarely met with in this district, but those here would
do honour to a southern domain, while the views Tom
gain from among them are such as only Rydal can show.
In the park are a couple of far-famed waterfalls. The
largest tumbles into a deep glen, and though not wilder-
than suits the vicinity of a lordly residence, has a grand
appearance. But it is the lesser or lower fall that is that
most famous. It is one of the very daintiest and most
graceful little cascades that ever delighted the eye. Being
in a pleasure-ground, it appears in danger of being im-
proved by the landscape gardener into trimness, but, hap-
pily a wiser taste watches over it. It is left to the skilfat
management of nature, who seems to have set her-
" tricksiest spirit" to deck it, and care is taken by its he-
man guardian to prevent profane hands from meddling
with her devisings. It is a thing to look at as you would
at a picture—and, indeed, you are shown it somewhat is,
the same way. You enter a dark summer-house, and, ox
the opening of a shutter, the little fall is seen quaintly seas
in a deep oaken frame. The water dashes glittering and
foaming down a cleft in the black rock, and from ever;
crevice in the craggy sides start up slim trunks of ash and
hazel, whose light foliage serves to screen without cant-
cealing the sparkling stream ; and just above the. fall w-
an old grey bridge, half hidden among the leaves, over
which ever and anon passes slowly a village waggon or au
old peasant. " This little theatrical scene," says Mason..
in a note to Gray's description of his Westmoreland tour.
" might be painted as large as the original; on a nanvasa
not bigger than those which are usually dropped in that
opera-house." Were we Standlehl, the painter, we should
rejoice to behold it, else we should grieve at the realiza-
tion of the fancy. For a rich poetical description atlas,
fall, we-refer the reader to the " Evening Walk" 41
Wordsworth, who exclaims, after describing it with a wit
that
,proves his admiration of it,—
' Did Sabine grace adorn my living line,
Blandusia's praise, wild stream, should yield to UMW'
—The Land we Live in.
