London. . . Thursday afternoon Mr. Wilkes gave a grand
entertainment to several persons of distinction at his
apartments in the King's-Bench prison; among other dainties
and curiosities, a fine large swan, being five feet one inch
in length, was served up at table; there was music playing
all the time.  At night the prison was illuminated, and the
evening concluded with the utmost joy and festivity.
