Per to the juvenile branches of the nobility and gentry,
to the great and inexpressible delight of those who batag
on past years enjoyed the high and distinguished, he•
none, and also to those who bad not hitherto had the gra-
tification of being invited. They have been in the great.
est expectation for thetime to arrive. That the children
should be under as little restraint as possible, as the MI..
Aare of the circumstance would admit, that it might be
,to them an annual jubilee in the true sense of the word,
and look forward to the visit to the King, and to re-
pier the caresses of their Sovereign ; his Majesty, with
.the moat benignant feeling, in giving his commands for
the entertainment, avoided state ceremonies as much as
possible, and to effect this, the entertainment was com-
'mended to be given in the lower suite of rooms, where
no state affairs or entertainments take place. The whole
of that suite of rooms were opened and used on the occa-
sion, including the conservatory, which was brilliantly
illuminated on the occasion.

pod friends, began to arrive soon after eight o'clock:.
They were conducted into the presence of the King by
'Mr. Messenger and Mr. Lin, the State Pages. • His Ms-
jetty received them all in the most affable and unreserved
manner, and his familiar caresses relieved their infantile
feelings, tvhich would necessarily have been the case at,
the idea of being in the presence of the King, together
with being in the midst of such a numerous assemblage,
and every thing being strange to their tender years.
Soo* after nine o'clock, the King commanded the band'
to commence playing.
Dancing quadrilles continued with some intermissions
till near twelve o'clock, when they retired to sapper,
where a Royal banquet was prepared in the Oothic mons,
at the east end of the suite of rooms. The King inter-
mixed with the children in the most condescending man-
per during the whole of the evening, which, no doubt.
will be strongly impressed on the minds and feelings of
:the rising generation, present at this delightful and
interesting occasion. After tapper the juveniles were
sent to their respective residences. The merry dance was
then commenced by the parents and others, which they
Rontinned till near three o'clock.
