BALL.

Their Majelties and the Princeffes entered a little after nine, preceded by the officers of state. The overture of Samfon began playing on the entrance of the King, and continued till their Majefties were feated.

The ball was opened by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal: -the minuets were in the following order:

MINU ET S.

The Prince of Wales

The ear-rings that were worn were long, and formed of diamonds, or pearl and gold intermixed. Diamond necklaces, tied tight round the reck, and strings of pearl hung loofely on the hofom. The neck more expofed than ufual, as the ladies wore tuckers and (mall tippets. No breaft-bows or sleeveknots, unless made of diamonds. Bouquets not fo large as ufual, and fixed on the left fide. No ftomachers, or any decoration whatever in their place-the bodies being entirely plain; not even a zone, which was fo univerfal last year.—Sleeves of the gown very short, not to cover the elbow; ruffles The Duke of York treble, and rather longer than last birth-day, with very deep heads. Very few flounces to the petticoats, but the gauze on them very full, fet up to reprefent plaits at the bottom, and mostly edged with gold and filver fringes of various breadths. Those who wore fancy Earl of Cavan trimmings on the petticoat, chofe them of embroidered gauze, or fatin laid in loofe folds, in imitation of feftoons, with deep gold and filver fringes.

Few ladies wore buckles-mostly white Dippers, with gold and filver knots.——— Two watches were univerfal, unless a pic ture was fubftituted for one of them, or a fancy fetting.

The trains and bodies of the Ladies dreffes were principally of white fattin-very few in colours. Ribbens chiefly white.

The Gentlemen were dreffed chiefly in dark coloured filk trimmed with for, or in Earl of Morton velvet richly embroidered with gold, filver, and steel. They did not wear their hair dreffed to low at the fides, nor their toupees fo high-moftly two curls on a fide. Their coats not fo high at the neck;-fome few wore full ftocks, the Prince in particular. The hoes higher quartered then usual, and the buckles fmaller-very few with two watches. This fashion is given up to the Ladies.

Almost all the new dreffes were lined with fatin of the fame colour as the coat. A few gentlemen wore fur linings.
