.~ THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1821. Lamm Boater—(Sept).—Holiday at the Public Offices. STOCK EXCHANGE., ONE O'CLOCK. Letters from Odessa, received this morning, of the 7th August, state, that the last news from Constan tinople are of a pacific nature, and there was no ap prehensions of war; and letters from St. Petersburgh, 'received at Odessa, state that the latter would cease to be a free port, but goods would be allowed to be bonded in warehouse. Stocks have risen 1 h per Cent. since the above was known. It is a holiday at the Bank, but the Stock Exchange is open. On Saturday night, there was a surplus in this Quar ter's Revenue of £250,000. more than the corres ponding Quarter of last year. We have received since our last the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday ; but they furnish us with no thing new in addition to the information from Con stantinople, contained in the Papers of Wednesday, received on Saturday. They state, however, that at a late review of Russian artillery, in the neighbour hood of Warsaw, at which the Grand Duke Cox. STANTINE assisted, the odious Crescent was set up as a target, and other Turkish devices were presented to view, in destroying which with red-hot balls, the Russian artillerymen signalized at once their zeal and skill. It would be unfair, however, to consider this puerile act as an indication of the policy of the Russian Government. It was in all probability a suggestion of the Grand Duke—a violent Prince, exactly resembling in mind, as well as in person, she Emperor PAUL ; and who, should he ever ascend the Russian Throne, would induce the Russians to bewail, with unfeigned sorrow, the loss of the present EMPEROR. _ _ French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 87 fr. 40 c. Recent arrivals of Lisbon Papers throw a different light upon the revolution of the sth of June at Rio de Janeiro, from that in which it had been originally .represented. So far from the change which dis placed the PRINCE REGENT from the power intrusted to him by the Kt ):a being the work of a mutinous sol diery, it was the unanimous act of the respectable po pulation, and is described not merely as glorious in its result, but as indispensable, from the existence of ' an odious conspiracy, at the held of which was the Conde dos ARCOS, who had been appointed Prime Minister to the Prince. That Minister has arrived at Lisbon i prisoner, and hasbeen r:rdered by the Cortes to be confined in the Castle of Belem. The Junta of Bahia have refused to act in subordination to that of Rio de Janeiro, and their refusal has been sanc tioned by the Portuguese Cortes, from motives of ob . sious policy. New York Papers of the (27th July, and Boston of the 29th, have arrived this forenoon. The follow ing are extracts: BOSTON, JULY 27. _ _ BATTLE !EAR BUENOS Avnes.--Captain Lewis, tato arrived last evening, informs that, on the 20th May, a battle was fought near Santa 1:6, in the Pro ♦ince of La Plata, between the troops under the command of the Governor of Buenos Ayres and General Almeira, in which the latter was totally de feated, with the loss of about 3(X) men; the rest of his army was dispersed in all directions.—Mar kets dull and produce scarce. CURACOA, JCLY 7. Colonel Pereira's division was defeated on the 17th June, at St. Lucia, and tetteated to Caraccas on the d. Two hundred negroes occupied La Guira after it was abandoned by the ItoTalists. The garrison joined Pereira, who, on the same day, was attacked by Bermudez, in the streets of Caraccas : the battle •was a bloody one, but Pereira remained •ictorious.— Ilermudez lost 500 killed and wounded, and 300 prisoners. La Torre was defeated at Carabobo, with sevcie loss. HAYTI. Extract of a letter, dated Cape traytien, 4th July : --44 Affairs have now resumed a more pacific aspect. The firmness and decision of President Boyer, in ex cluding from all offices of trust those Blacks who were partisans of Christophe and Richard, has bad the desired effect of restoring to tranquillity this ill fated and long disturbed City. The scene is now changed, order has been established, but it will re quire time to!establish a form of Government. Thedis . tinction between blacks and mulattoes still exists." We have received Papers direct from Madrid to the 21st ult. Some extracts from them, relative to the state of affairs in Mexico, will be found among our selections, under the head of South America, in another part. The most interesting article of do mestic intelligence which they contain, relates to the sanatory state of Barcelona. The account from the Lazaretto of Barcelona, of the 11th, states the num ber of patients there to be nine. The number of deaths has been twelve in all, viz.—eight up to the 9th, two on the night of the 9th, and two on the night of the 10th. The contagion is entirely confined to the Laza retto; all persons hitherto attacked were from the port. All communication between the old port and the shore and the new mole is strictly intercepted. The new mole is quite free, there having been no ve sse l s there when the precautions were adopted. The c ity is quite free from the contagionl as urea as the B ar . eelooette and the hospitals. Alltm jr STY'S 17SIT TO IRELAND. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. DUBLIN, AUGUST 28. FURTHER PARTICULARS. You have seen, by our public papers, the misun derstanding or breach between the present LORD MAYOR and the Orange party, of which he was a distinguished champion. Upon this difference I will give no opinion. Time, that sure developer of motives and parent of consequences, will determine the policy and results of the worthy Alderman's conduct ; but, at the University dinner, yesterday, he is said to have given a toast for the purpose not only of propitiating the affections of his old friends, but of shewing that a man might wish to conciliate the Catholics w►thout a determination to sacrifice the Protestant interest. The toast was, gg The Pri mate and Church of Ireland;" and, at every loyal public dinner, it is given as a matter of course—to find it omitted at a dinner of our Protestant Uni versity would be very strange indeed ; but, in times and situations such as we are placed in, every man will draw from the acts or expressions of men iden tifying themselves with patty, inferences agreeing' with their own principles and wishes. Thus the coterie at Slane Cattle is giving birth to a thousand ; surmises, and it is laid down by many of our deep and knowing politicians, that the whole business,l terms, limitations, &c. of Catholic Emancipation have been settled on Saturday and Sunday last, on the Banks of the Boyne, while, l'd pledge my life, that not a word of party politics was spoken before the Royal presence. I should rather think that the attic wit and high colloquial powers of the distin guished and talented characters who attended his MAJESTY on the occasion, banished ill the buckram of State affairs. Two or three days more and I shall have nothing to say to you. Our illustrious and distinguished visitors will be forsaking us, our streets will become quiet, and there won't be a strange countenance to ielieve the sameness of the old stationary fates which we have been meeting on the pave every day for years back ; in a word, we shall be immensely dull. GRAND DINNER OF TRI MAJESTYNITY . COLLEGE to DIS MILER, Aceusz fit. Yesterday will be remembered by the University; of Dublin as one of the proudest days in its annals since it obtained its charter from ELIZABETII. It had the high honour of entertaining his Majesty, KING GEORGE the FOURTH, within its walls, and the entertainment prepared for his MAJESTY was on a scale of splendour that reflects infinite credit on the taste, spit it, and liberality of the College. His MAJESTY, who returned from Slane Castle about noon, arrived at the College at five minutes before six o'clock. Ilis MAJESTY S suite occupied three carriages; and these, together with the carriage of his Eacellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, were es corted by a troop of the ith Hussars. His MAJESTY was received by the Provost, Senior Fellows, Doc tors of 'Law, the Scholars and Students of the Uni versity, &c. &c. who awaited his MAJESTY'S ap proach at the entrance prepared for that purpose, a little above the Hall ; it was a temporary avenue, leading into the garden by a platform, which was raised about two feet from the ground ; it was roofed, and decorated with blue drapery, and fanci fully ornamented with muslin curtains, &c. This avenue was terminated by an awning, similarly con structed, and communicated with the passage through the gardens, which led to the Library. Through this passage the Kiwo was conducted to the Library. At the entrance to this magnificent room, which was specially fitted up for the august visitor, his MA JESTY was received by the Provost and Senior Fel lows, one of whom, Mr. BARRETT, addressed his MAJESTY in suitable terms of gratitude and wel come. About 150 personages were already assem bled in the Library ; they consisted of his MAJESTY'S immediate friends, the agnitaries of the State, the Church, and the Law, and Noblemen of the highest rank. Shortly after the an ival of the KING, they Were invited to the Dinner Hall, and each individual bore a ticket numbered, which introduced him to a seat corresponding therewith, so that in a few minutes the whole company were seated with the greatThet ease and precision. es G'S KIN t able was elevated two steps above the others. A large silver plateau was placed upon it, Iwhich extended nearly from end to end, holding on its surface a variety of alabaster and spar figures. From the reflecting brilliancy of this ornament it seemed not unlike one of those well-contrived imita tions of a limpid and running stream, containing gold and silver fish, which has so often adorned the tables of Carlton Palace. Eight of his MAJESTY'S servants, in splendid state liveries of purple and gold, were in attendance at the Royal table. A rich ser vice of massive gold and silver plate decorated the two spacious sideboards on the right and left of this table ;—two rows of tables extended down the centre of the hall, which were laid out in a very tasteful manner ; several others were placed along the walls on either side. The monument of the late Provost BALDWIN was masked in a most skilful manner, by an imitation of Italian marble, which was so constructed as rather to resemble an emblematic trophy than a tomb ; around the upper ledges were placed five bronze figures, each holding a candelabra with three lights; above these the urn was filled with a gay va riety of beautiful flowers ; wreaths of decorative and delicate exotics were fancifully entwined and sus pended from the top, which completed the most ele gant effort of modern art in the Hall. The canopy over his MAJESTY'S throne was of rich crimson, with gold fringe; on each side of his MAJESTY'S chair were two beautiful silver stands, each holding a num ber of beautiful wax lights; the other tables had no lights placed on them, but from the ceiling were sus pended three splendid chandeliers ; the centre one was peculiarly effective.—around the banqueting hall, and over the well filled sideboards , were a sufficient number of side lustres. The organ-loft, at one extremity of the hall, was partitioned out for the reception of the choir and fe male spectators ; these latter were, for the most part, of high rank, very elegantly dressed, and we do not remember to have seen an assemblage of the fair more remarkable, as well for the elegance of their manners as their personal charms. Fioni the Library to the Examination-hall a co- vered platform was erected. A temporary entrance was prepared for his MAJESTY at the south end. of the hall ; and thus the inconvenience of this room for the reception of the Royal guest, arising from its isolated situation, was avoided. He entered the dining-hall at twenty minutes after' six o'clock, preceded by several persons of his suite, and attended by the PROVOST, the PRIMATE, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and other personages of very high rank. He took his station under a canopy at the centre of the Royal table, and the choir imme diately sang ah Ode, composed for the occasion, to which an accompaniment was performed on the an- cient organ. The following is a copy of the Ode: Welcome! welcome ! mighty KING! Joy to Erin's Isle you bring ; FILMS, with thee the Olive comes, 'Neath whose shade fair Science blooms. F.rin, in her Classic bower, Wreathes for thee her Emerald flower; For thee, whom gentle Peace attends, Ten thousand welcomes Erin sends ! On the entrance of his MAJCaTY, the company' who had previously taken their seats, stood up, and the KING advanced to the Throne, which had been prepared for him as before described, and the usual College Grace being said by Dr. LLOYD, one of the Senior Fellows, his MAJESTY bowing to those imme diately in his front, and then to those at either side, sat down; the company in their turn made their obeisance to the KING, and took their seats. At his MAJESTY'S table, on his right, were the PROVOST, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the King's Bench (Vice-Chancellor of the College), the LORD PRIMATE, the Marquis of HEADFORT, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and the Archbishop of TUAM ; on the left, his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, the Arch bishop of Mauls, the Duke of MoNrnosz, Lord Viscount SIDMOUTiI, aid the LORD MAYOR. His MAJESTY was attended at dinner by two No blemen bearing wands, and by eight of his Mans rat's own servants, in magnificent liveries of purple and gold. During the time of dinner, his MAJESTY con versed with familiarity, and with much earnestness of manner, with the LORD LIEUTENANT and the PRO.. YOST ; and to the unrestrained and polished orb:inky of his MAJESTY, we were delighted to perceive, that his MAJESTY conjoined that degree of ease and cheer fulness which denoted good health, and a happy vation of spirits. In truth, the cordiality of his MA.. JESTY'S demeanour communicated pleasure to all around him. When the dinner was removed, the PROVOST rose, and having called the attention of the company to the toast he was about to give, emphatically pronounced, " His Majesty the King." The enthusiastic cheering with which this toast Was received need scarcely be described ; the company immediately stood up, and tilling their glasses to the brim, drank to the health of their benign and . gtacia ous Sovereign, with all the usual demonstrat ions of attachment and love. The grand national anthein of " Gon save the King," was performed by the choir, and two new stanzas, appropriate to the occasion of his MAJESTY'S visit, were sting by Mr. Smart, with fine effect ; the chorus was composed of Sir Joint STEVENSON, Mr. WEYMAN, Mr. JAGER) and other musical professors, who occupied places in the gal. lery. The K No and the whole company stood during the performance, to which the deep toned, swelling notes of the Armada organ, which had been put into repair for the occasion, gave considerable effect. The LORD LIEUTENANT rose, and said, that he had been commanded to give, on the part of his MAJESTY, " The Provost, Fellows, and Scholars, of Trinity College." His MAJESTY stood while he drank this toast, pre viously bowing to the Provost, and the Fellows im mediately in view. Considerable applause followed, and the Glee, Strike the Harp, was sung by the Choir, The nett toast was given by the Paovosr, who said, that by his MAJESTY'S permission, he proposed, " The Duke of York and the Army." Drank with great applause.—The next toast was, " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." Song—" Rule Britannia." His Manny paid much attention to this song.— He beat time regularly with his hand, and bestowed much applause on the chorus ending with the words, " Britons never shall be slaves!" " Duke of Cumberland, Chancellor of the University, and the rest of the Royal Family." Song—" The Red Cross Knights." The PROVOST then announced the health of the LORD LIEUTENANT, by corhmand of his MAJESTY. This toast was greatly applauded. Earl TALBOT made his acknowledgements, and the choir sung Glorious Apollo. The next toast was tg Prosperity to Ireland," also by command of his MAJESTY. The Duke of MONTROSE (Master of the Horse) now went to order the KING'S carriage, and in a few moments his MAJESTY rose to depart. He shook the LORD CHANCELLOR warmly by the hand, and walked down the centre of the Hall to the great door, bowing to the company, who had all risen, at either side, with much affability, yet great dignity of manner.— His MAJESTY recognised and saluted particularly se veral persons as he passed along. He ascended his carriage just at nine o'clock, and was attended to it by all the principal personages who were present. The LORD LIEUTENANT, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the CHIEF JUSTICE, the Archbishop of DUBLIN, the Duke of MONTROSE, the Marquisses of HEADFORT,GRAIRAM, and WINCHESTER, Lord SIDMOUTII, and Sir BENJA MIN BLOOMFIELD, took their departure at the same time with his MAJESTY. The PROVOST having seen the Kixo's coach drive l off, returned to the upper table, and removed the chair which his MAJESTY had occupied. He then placed his own seat a little more in front of the ca nopy, and the Loan MAYOR came up and took the seat the LORD LIEUTENANT bad filled. The LORD MAYOR rose and said—The Provost allows me to give a toast : I beg to propose " The Lord Primate, and the Church of Ireland," which was drank accordingly.—The next toast was, " The 27th of August. the day on which his Majesty was gra ciously pleased to honour the University with his presence; proposed by the Right Hon. W. PLUNKETT, Member of Parliament for '1 rinity College, and drank with great applause.---The PROVOST gave " The Lord Chancellor and the Irish Bar," and afterwards " Lord Oriel and the Trade of Ireland." The LORD PRIMATE proposed— " The health of the Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the City of Dublin." Soon after which the company separated. There were about seventy Ladies in full dress in the Hall Gallery. THE INSTALLATION OF THE KNIGHTS OF ST. PATRICK. The magnificent ceremony of the installation, by the Sovereign in person, of the Knights Companions of the Order of St. Patrick, took place on Tuesday, at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Great preparation s had been made throughout the whole line which v.-as to be traversed by the Procession, going to and return. ing from the Cathedral, to afford facilities to spec. tators by the erection of platforms and various other contrivances, whereon to obtain a seat, or even a standing, but the constant wet during the d a y marred, in some degree, this part of the exhibitio 3 . Such, however, was the eagerness of the peopl e to get a sight of their KING, that even the ra i n could not force them to quit the posts they had o ccup i ed, in the hope of having a glimpse of his MAJEsTv ; in Aungier-street this was particularly remar k a b le, where flags, with various devices, were digplayed.— St. Peters Church had an extensive sc.u . 6:dinz in front, and a little higher in the street was an elegant arch of laurel, from which was suspended a trans parent medallion, with G. IV. R. I Reigns in the Hearts of Irish Subject , . The balconies of the house, from which this' vrae thrown, were filled with lovey icnialcs, in thelnighe blue costume, one of whom moved a flag as the Procession passed, bearing the following insctiption, in gold letters: The Sons awl Daughters of Erin hail their Kr. At so early an hour as seven o'cluck in t!le mor n . ing, there was not a coach to be procured for hire in Dublin. This was the cause 01 many seriou.3 dicap. pointments to persons who had not carriages Li their own. Accordingly, numbers even of those who had tickets for the interior of the Cathedral, were to tie seen endeavouring to reach the Church, which was effected by the greater number, but not without splashed stockings and wet shoes. Upon the inside every arrangement had been made which could in any way contribute to the satisfaction or convenience of the visitors. A number of Gentle men of high respectability officiated as Stewards who paid the closest attention to see that every indi vidual was conveniently and suitably placed. At half-past ten o'clock the streets were lined by the military ; who were posted in Cork-hill, Dame street, George's-street, A ungier.street, Kevin -street, to the west gate of the Cathedral. The Kim; lot the Castle about half-past one, and reached the Church exactly at twenty minutes to two o'clock, His MAJESTY was received by the Knights, Esquires, and Officers of the Order, and the Dean and Chap. ter and Officers of the Cathedral, and conducted through the aisle to the Chapter-room, in the order of Procession. THE AISLE. The aisle was fitted up for the accommodation of spectators, in a style of elegance that perfectly ac. corded with the rank, beauty, and fashion, that graced the seats on either side. Partitions of about four feet in height had been erected, exttniling the entire length of the aisle, leaving a space, of about twelve feet in width, in the centre, through which the Procession passed. The flagging was covered with blue cloth, and the low pal titions and seats, at either side (rising progressively above each other, ?s in a Theatre, so that each individual had a perkt view of the splendid pageant), were covered with green baize. The preparations which had been made gave the greatest satisfaction to the lovely and pa titled spectators. Such an assemblage has been but seldom witne.sed in Dublin—the number of towering plumes of ostrich feathers, the richness of the tiaras, the brilliancy of the diamonds, presented a constella tion of beauty and splendour. The prevailing con lours of the Ladies' dresses and feathers were light blue and white, corresponding with those of the Knights, and being also those which had been adopted, in compliment to his MAJESTY on his gracious visit to this country. TEEE CIIAPTRR ROOM. The Chapter Room is situate at the East end ci the Cathedral, communicating with the aisle by s covered passage at the North side of the Choir. On arriving at the Chapter Room, the Sovereign took his seat at the head of the table, and the lit stalled Knights, wearing their hats, having made a reverence-to the Sovereign, also took their respective seats, their Esquires standing behind them. The Knights to be installed stood at the table befog their respective chairs, holding their hats in thee hands, and their Esquires deposited their mantles and swords on the table, and fixed their banners is the places appointed, and then took their stations be hind their respective Knights. From the Chapta Room the Procession was then formed to the Choir: his MAJESTY'S train was borne by six Peers sons. The coup devil presented in this part of the build. ing, forming the body of the Cathedral, when the Procession entered from the Chapter Room, itIS most splendid, and for effect could not be excelled in any City in Europe. This part of the Cathedral forms a very beautiful piece of ancient Gothic ar chitecture, in perfect preservation. A temporal' gallery, which had been erected for the reception of visitors, at the East end of the Church, was crowded, chiefly with Ladies, in gay and fancy dresses, wearing plumes of feathers. The gallery before the organ, allotted for the Choristers, was also filled in pit with Ladies. The other galleries were filled in the same manner. The first dignitaries of the State were among those who were in the body of the Church, wearing their various Orders and Insignia. Prince ESTEMIAZY (the Austrian Ambassador), Princess ESTERHAZY, and the Marchioness of Cosmaan , sat in a pew immediately facing the" Throne, which was to be occupied by his MAJESTY. The Procession having fallen back on each side, his MAJESTY advanced, and took his seat upon th e Throne ; the Knights then came foi ward success ivel y , according to seniority, and each, with his Squires, having first bowed to the Altar, made their obeisano to his MAJESTY, after which they stepped backward-, until they reached their places in the Choir. Re Installed Knights wore their hats—the Knights wbe Installed still held their hats in their hands. 1.:- costume of the Heralds and Pursuivarits, as well Is that of the Knights and their Esquires was ma . r: ficent. The hat of each Knight was covered trot profusion of ostrich feathers, of three colours, ci:e-': son, blue, and white. They wore blue and white dresses—the Installed Knights weaving large toas. liis MAJr'ry was splendidly attired ill the !ant LI
