TIIE KING AND HIS Coy ar.—On Monday evening, their Majesties,

who had arrived from Windsor about ten o'clock, gave a grand ball at St. James's Palace. The preparations for the ball were in every respect similar to those that had been made on former occasions of the same kind. The company began to assemble at nine o'clock ; the setting- down occupied about two hours. Of the Royal Family, were present— the Duchess of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Landgravine, and the Princess Augusta. The King and Queen surveyed the brilliant array of dancers from a sofa placed on a dais at the east end of the ball- room, until one o'clock, when they retired to supper in the Queen's apartments. The company supped in the banqueting-room. The ball did not filially break lip until three o'clock. The "reigning" Pi Duke of Brunswick, the Prince of Leiningen, the whole of the Foreign corps diplomatique, and nearly all the higher nobility and gentry, were invited, and attended.

On Tuesday, their Majesties left town for Twickenham, in order to honour by their presence a fete given by Sir Wathen Waller and Ba- roness Howe. The Duke of Brunswick and Duchess of Saxe Weimar accompanied, and the Landgravine, the Princess Augusta, Prince Leo- pold, and the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, followed their Majesties.

The silver cup usually given on the 1st, was rowed for at the fete, in order to add to the entertainments meant for the gratification of the royal visitors. Their Majesties witnessed the match from the lawn, where a seat, elegantly fitted up, was " placed for their accommodation. An immense number of boats covered the river, by the occupants of which the royal party was loudly and heartily cheered.
