DE CAR NIT ALIS. OFFICIAI. BKPORT OF THE LAST PRELIMINARY MEETING OF THE BOYAL HOST—THE LORD HIGH CAAMBEBLAIN, EARL MAB8HAL, PBO YOST MABSHAL AND OTHER HIGH DIGNITARIES BEAD THEIR REPORTS—EVERY PREPARATION CONCLUDED — A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY AS SURED. W»e final preparatory meeting .of the Royal Host was held in the great Star Chamber last night, exactly at 12 o'clock. Nothing remained to be done except for the Ministers and Courtiers and Chiefs of Staff to assemble for the purpose of intei changing reports and hearing in detail th« arrangements of each department of the Royal Household. It was, as usual, an impressive spectacle. The vast hall, seeming to ha one blaze of radiant light, throwing out the .graceful columns and the lofty dome with its fretted frieze and dark green arch, star-studded in a thousand points of tire, the innumerable company of strong' and stately fig ures id suits of glittering mail aud closed helmets, from which the ong black and crimson plumes floated gallantly, made up a picture of peculiar splendor. The Councillors seated themse.ves with their cus'omary grave solemnity, and, at a S ven signal, the reports and statements of the nisters were opened. LORD HIGH CHAMBERLAIN, his Grace of Bathurst, announced the arrival of all save a few of the King's followers, their as signment to suitable quarters, the cantonment of their men and the satisfactory state of the com missariat. According to his estimate, there are now six hundred and six dukes and peers of the realm present at the capital with their respective retainers. Two huudreil more are to arrive on the royal fleet, and nearly one hundred are ex pected to-day and to-morrow. The Purveyor's supplies have been provided on the basis of eigüt thousand men and fortv-three hundred horses. All minor details are in complete order, and all arrangements for the pageant and festiv. tiee concluded, to the entire satisfaction of the Lord High Chambei lam. EARL MARSHAL Warwick stated, in his brief hudmilitary fashion, that his armories and magazines were all thor oughly stocked and overhauled, the men per fectly drilled, and the chargers thoroughly re covered from the fatigue of their journey. He condescended to express lively pleasure at the success and promise of the affair and to declare, in tones of detp feeling, that he anticipated with a joy beyond all words, the gratification of the King. THE PROVOST MARSHAL, speaking for himself and the Lord High Chan cellor, informed the assembled courtiers that the acandal of tho Bœuf Gras and reported beef ring bad been thoroughly sifted, with the resu t of ascertaining that the 'Assistant Purveyor aud the Hereditary Bootjack were the only guilty parties. The noble lords whose names had been mentioned with the disgraceful affair had shown their entire innocence aud been honorably re stored to confidence. It only remained to state that all ihe pre limiuarie- of the trial had been agreed on and that the decapitation of the two miscreants would take place at daylight, Tuesday morning, in the presence of the Boyal Host. This announcement was received with profonnd satisfaction, the courtiers all professing them selves delighted to see corruption sternly punislwd and the purity of the Verene realm main tuned. , VARIOUS AND MISCELLANEOUS. A nndlber of minor statements and reports were heard after this, all tending to show that the preparations of the King's reception and enter tainment were in a high state of perfection ; and, after some congratulations and greetings, the dignitaries separated in buoyant spirits and great good humor. The details of the ceremonies to bo held on Monday, when the King lands, will be given in time. We need only assure the public that these cer emonial will be conducted on a scale of appro priate magnificenco; antecedent and introdne tory as they are, to the great demonstration of Maral Graa day, when Bex will reveal himself in all Ma to iwer and glory to the loving peop'e of this ouatai and to tne thousands who have jour neyed Dither to witness the impressive spectacle. • Long liva the King 1 Rev.
