THE ROYAL MAsorE-In Spitaliields, her Majes-
tvs tttc has already operated some change. The
tissue of her Majesty's magnificent costume is made
in that distressed quarter of the town. and it is an
exquisite piece of hanaicrati, in which the clever
weavers have surpassed themselves. The ground
is gold, over which appear flowers, partly MATES,
partly brilliant but description cannot convey
idea of the exquisite nature of the tissue the beauty
of the design, and It's striking eftect-and we can
only add that II IS worthy OF enshrnlng her who is
The cynosure of every eye"

native artisans, and when set off by the manly form
and handsome person of so III representative of the

The benefits her Majesty has thus already confer

behold some other epoch OF history figuring in

higher circles of society beyond any other festivities

with more than their habltua flow of buOyant spirits
first began at the bidding OF the gracious Sovereg ign
this joyous race after elegant pleasure. They have
now involved in their impulse many OF our Oldest
and gravest senator's; encompassed by their young
relatives, even the ncautlous farmers said to
be by the fairies, when they trust themselves within
sight OF their moonlight gambols.
