[London, September 23. Entertainments for King of Denmark.]
His majesty being seated in a chair of state of the right
hand of the locum tenens at a table placed upon an elevation
across the upper end of the hall with his noble attendants
on the right, and the aldermen above the chair on the left,
was saluted by a band of above forty of the best performers
in an orchestra fronting his majesty's table. . . Mr. Deputy
Paterson had the honour to attend his majesty as
interpreter; his majesty, through him, repeatedly expressing
to the local tenens how much he admired the grandure of the
Egyptian Hall, the brilliancy of the illuminations round it,
the magnificence of the dinner, the excellency of the music,
and the good order and decorum of the whole entertainment.
After dinner his majesty was reconducted into the great
parlour, where he was presented with tea and coffee, and
entertained with solos on different instruments by several
capital performers.
