He presided at the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund Dinner, at the request of the Duke of Clarence.

He writes me that he met there Lord F.Leveson Gower[5], who was introduced to him by Mr.Charles Greville, and of whom he has conceived a very high opinion.

Lord B---- partakes my belief in physiognomy, but in this instance the impression formed from the countenance is justified by the reputation of the individual, who is universally esteemed and respected.
Went again to see the Hotel Monaco, which Lord B---- writes me to close for; but its gloomy and uncomfortable bed-rooms discourage me, _malgre_ the splendour of the _salons_, which are decidedly the finest I have seen at Paris, I will decide on nothing until Lord B----'s return.
Went to the College of Ste.-Barbe to-day, with the Duchesse de Guiche, to see her sons.

Great was their delight at the meeting.

I thought they would never have done embracing her; and I, too, was warmly welcomed by these dear and affectionate boys, who kissed me again and again.
