Last week young Lord Granville went to a masquerade in Arundel street.

Prince of Mecklenburg danced one with Lady Viscountess Melncuux, and one with Lady Anne Noel; Prince George of Mecklenburg, one with Lady Mary Hay, and one with Lady Elizabeth Howard.

The minuets were over by half an hour past eleven, when the country dances began: The Duke of Gloucester danced with the Duchess of Beaufort, the Duke of Cumberland with the Countess of Essex, Prince Ernest of Mecklenburg with the Countess of Morton, and Prince George of Mecklenburg with Lady Frances Manners. The room, though not much crowded, was so warm that their Majesties left it at twelve o'clock, and the country dances were over before one.
