There have Iwo 912 notices: of these M 8 only bare been registered; 108 have been rejected; fifty-eight have appealed; and the remainder did nor give thepsselves the trouble, of attending or pressing their claims. As much importance is attached to every movement in this procedure, as if the future ascendancy of the contending parties of Protestant and Catholic were to be determined by the result ; and so great is the enthusiasm, so violent are the manifestations of joy towards Mr. O'Cossizt.t., and of dislike towards all others, that no man wlao opposes him feels himself safe. It is now supposed that the election for Clare will take place about the 12th of July. The opinions we set forth yesterday on this subject are confirmed by this day's news from Deland, namely, that the recent speeches and proceedings of Mr.O'Cona MILL have had the effect of lousing again the subsiding passions of the people, not only of the South and West, , but in almost every part of the country; and at this moment they are all in a state of the greatest agitation., We are told that the Catholics do not regard their late triumph complete without the re-election of Mr. O'ConnaLL, who promises to do a great deal for them; while the Protestants, not only of Clare, but in all other places, are disposed to regard his success as a triumph over them. Hence the bad feelings, the agitation, and the anarchy of former days are rapidly reviving ; and without a firm and timely application of those means which are provided for the maintenance of good order. may end in greater misrule and confusion than we have yet witnessed in that unhappy and divided country. The Lisbon Mail this day brought us the following article, in addition to our private intelligence from Portugal. Other accounts have reached in, setting forth that " the damned English," as they are called, are beaten and abused on every opportunity—Ladies as well as their children. The cowardly pasbive character of the Portuguese is the only security which Don MrctuaL has in the country. OPORTO, Say 29.

By the time the Kiso made his appeersioce on the ground, the company was so seineroos that the whale of the Course, lull half a mile in length, presented a complete mass of people. We remember the visit of the Allied Sovereigns in 1814. sad we remember the Cap Day last year, bat it is be yond the recollection of any individual ever to base witnessed such a company on this or any other Nate 'Ci.wee in the kingdom. Carriages of every denomina tion were fourteen deep by the side of the Course from the top to the bottom, containing such a display of fashion and beauty as is rarely witnessed. Every booth for the convenience of spectators was at an early how completely toll. and the Betting Stand was thronged by the Gentlemen of the Turf. The principal attraction wet the Royal Stand, and the Course opposite was im passable at the intervals between the races, from the ansiety of the public to see his MAJESTY, towards whom they repeatedly manifested their loyalty by cheering and waving of hats, which manifestations were most graciously acknowledged by the Kiso. From the hour of eight o'clock until some time after twelve every approach to Ascot was thronged ; and at eleven o'clock the line of carriages was not broken for miles. It is supposed that upwards of 200,000 persons were present. The Race for the Cup was the chief object of at traction on the C urse. Vast sums of money have beets won and lost open the sacs; and we are informed th ..e a Noble Earl had purchase., for a large sum the winner Zineanee, from Cbifney.

Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington gave a grand d nner at his residence, in Downing -street, to those General Officers who were engaged with his Grace in that eventful contest. The dinner was given in the principal dining•room, in which are the portraits of a number of those individuals who have filled the office of First Lord t f the Treasury. The entertainment was given in a style of splendour worthy the occasion; among the plate were several magnificent articles which had been presented to his Grace by different Sovereigns ; on the table were two candelabras of the finest gold, having the names of the most celebrat,ll actions in which the Duke was engaged inscribed on them, with military and emblematic figures at the base, seven superb gold vases, with effigies of great warriors and monarchs, and a magnificent gold centre vase, enriched with military devices. The sideboard contained, among many articles of peat value, two large gold dishes, with reptesentations in alto relievo of distinguished battles to the latter • campaigns. The Band of the Grenadier Guards were stationed in the inner hall, and played several pieces during the time the company were setting down from their car. riages.; after dinner the band %bete removed to an ante room adjoining the dining loom, and performed a va• riety of charming pieces in the course of the night.
