'The gallery is fitted up for a kitchen, with steam boilers and other cooking apparatus. Adjoining it is the Lord's room, in white, with panel mouldings _gilt_--the roof supported by fluted pilasters, with Ionic caps, all _gilt_. The passages are white and _gold_. The roof of the King's room is panelled mahogany and _gold_; the sides crimson damask panels, the framings _gold_; twenty carved emblematical figures, the four Elements, etc., are on pedestals with Ionic caps of mahogany and _gold_. Round the rudder case are three beautiful plates of looking glass, entirely concealing the wood, in frames to correspond, _gilt_. The Queen's room is fitted up, in every respect, with the same grandeur as to materials and _gilding_. The descent to the State rooms is by a superb mahogany winding staircase, the balustrades richly carved and _gilt_; the sides panelled with mahogany and _gold_. The ceilings and doors to the State rooms are of the finest mahogany, in panels, with carved borders, richly _gilt_. The doors in the centre cabin are covered with mirrors.

The side windows, one on each side the stern, are two immense concaves of plate glass, like mirrors; from each of which, on the outside the vessel, rays diverge, to form a splendid star, superbly _gilt_. The predominant feature of the decorations is _costly gilding_; even the blocks carrying the ladders and the rigging, are fully _gilt_. The vessel has been put in its present state, for the Prince Regent, at an estimated expence of SIXTY THOUSAND POUNDS; the _gilding_, alone, is supposed to have cost nearly _Thirteen Thousand, Five Hundred Pounds_! She now lies off the Dockyard at Deptford, with the workmen on board; and, when completed, will, with the Divine permission, sail to Brighton, for his Royal Highness's use. Her apparatus for roasting, baking, boiling, frying, stewing, broiling, etc., is complete. And it is remarkable that the Cardinal Virtues are amongst the most prominent decorations _outside_.' This new plaything was at Brighton in the summer of 1817, and we read in a newspaper cutting that:
