The prince regent's idiosyncrasy is in the direction of the most elaborate and fantastic table decorations and of dishes in extraordinary forms. At the latest court ball supper there was 50 dazzling an array of artistic conceits that the guests were with dificulty induced to demolish them. Huge lobsters were set in mayonnaise, tashioned in models of Moorish buildings, every detall being perfect. The meats were coated with a pearly paste, with the arms and devices of the royal house, with all ture queen—on his arm, followed by Prince Albert with the Princess Clementine, the king's only unmarried daughter, and their Jadies-in-waiting ‘We ranged ourselves along the side of the room and his majesty advanced, saylog & few words to each guest. i Again the doors opened, as if automat- dcally, and luncheon was announced. The king took his nlece upon his arm and Prince Albert escorted Princess Clementine. Maids of homor, with the court officials and the rest of us, straggled in.

The next step, It is belleved, will be a bill requesting the right of establishing central exchanges, providing, of course, that tho initial measure is favorably acted on.
