PM I Tex CONGRESS IT AML.I-CIIAPRLLE. . it is pow e matter of some difficulty to compress Into moderate compass ell the particulars that are communicated from Correspondents at this scene of ioisip and parade. We continue to glean from the voluminious details transmitted the notices which we divai most interesting and amusing to the Reader 'be accounts we have submitted have already stated tire arrival pf the King of Prussia and his cavalcade at the place pf debate. The reporters, after men tioning his Majesty's very cool reception in his own favoured city, tarnish the following continuation of the details : About 11, on the 24th ult. the Duke of Welling. ton arrived•in a splendid carriage, and decorated with all his orders. Ms Grace remained only a short time with the King, who was accompanied by his third son, Prince Charles, a fine youth of 17 years of age. Aboot half.past 11 Lord Castlereagh arrived, in less splendid state. His Lordship was dressed in the Windsor uniform, and decorated with the Moe 'drawl ; but his equipage was rather like that intended for travelling, than for convey. ing a Minister of State to a Royal Levee. Ilis Lordship, no doubt from economical motives, has left his carriages and horses behind him in England, and was drawn to-dtry by a couple of animals, which probably never expected the honour of standing at the g ale of a n o ir& Court, and driven by a coachman, mo doubt from the same stable, who did not even wear bia.Lardship's livery.. Dearing the time that Lord Castlereagh was in the saloon with the King, Ms Majesty showed himself ■t the balcony to the Crowd assembled before it, but the persons who composed it displayed no great quickness of •pprehension in distinguishing Royalty, nor any euthosiastic devotion in saluting it. They at..l towed him to stand for a few moments without apperently knowing him; and when a sort of acclamation was at last attempted to be raised, its was feeble, broken, and languid. His Ma. jeoy firaciously bowed several times, and the satisfied multitude relapsed into the same state of edifying silence which we remarked yesterday on his entrance. It is said that the King observed with a slight expres. •ion of dissatisfaction several instances of this ap a thy daring his journey through his Rhenish provinces ; and that, seeing on one occasion a boor who did not even doff his hat in his presence, he remarked that there would, be more respect shown on.the appear since of the Emperor. . Petitions are now preparing, ii is said, both here and at Coition, against the stew fariff, and probably a dissatisfaction with the! high duties it imtioses may be one reason why the People do not more zealously pay their duties of another End. The Emperor Alexander arrived • shoat lialf.past pine o'clock. He found the King and his ion, with all the great authorities of the city, at his hotel, awaiting his arrival. The same number of guns were fired as on the at rival of the Emperor Fiancis. From the late hoer of his arrival, and the darkness of the 'night, he was not of course seen by those who had assembled to gratify their curiosity with the show. The great reciprocal visits and presentations will lake place to-morrow.. The town to.oight is Mu, 1111/111 led, bot in such saninoer as would ',mite the dicole of our cockneys. There are no inscriptions, no devices, no figures, no coloured lamps., Every 'window has two, three, or more candles, stuck in day, ,as a substitute for candlesticks. There is thus much light, without arty disphy of taste, or any es. ertion of fancy. Yet even this kind of illumination Could not he prncnrrd without a little management. Every inhabitant of the city, this meruing, got a gen. tts hint, in the shape of an order from the Police, to provides themselves with a super umerary stock of candles, to testify their joy on the arrival of the Sove. yereigsts. *mowing !he consequence of neglecting it, they have all taketi, the hint. The town it filling ;try fast.

Brighton is more crowded at this time than we ever remember it to be at this season of the year.— Every good house is occupied, and many families are waiting for the chance of .departures, Lord ELLEN /SC/ROUGH took possession of German-house, one of the best and warmest in Brighton, on Saturday last. The Libraries are crowded. At DoNALnsoN's, on Saturday evening, Mr. GIBBON commenced his en gagement for the season, and sung several airs with bight eclat.

Authentic art:flows from the coact of Africa, state that the Spanhirdc hare tianiportel a greater number of slaves to the Wert Indies in three months of the present year, than in the same interval, in any pre ceding veer. Another fanatical sect has sprung up in Simony. It has its principal sect at Ilort's'adt, near Crimma, and the leaders of it preach that beautitude can only be rilitainpd otakii.4 pilpimstes to Jerusalem. IVO learn hb the tart accounts from India, that the Msrquia of lltsTlitct has appointed Mr. GERALD WELLESLEY to be British Resident at the Court of liourAn. A peasant in East Gothlnna, being lately employ. ed in fishing in the river Staging, drew out an eel, which had fast entwined itself round a gold crown, richly set with jewels. This crown is of ancient workmanship ; it is ril present sopposed that it he. longed to Kind Scr;tsmori I), and that it was lost in the above.ttatned river MI the retreat a fte r the battle of Stwengebro, in 1.54/8, which cost him the Swedish Crown.

Mrs. HART, the wife of a respectable farmer and grazier, of Ravetithorpe, its Northamptonshire, was, last week, delivered of three fine female infants, all of whom, with the mother, are likely to do well. The Herring Fishery has commenced on the coast of Snesex, and the fishermen remark, that those they have yet token are of a latger size and liner flavour than for some seasons past. The Bizth anniversary of the Bristol Missionary Society was held on Thur.day lost, when upwards of 5001. was collected at the different churches and chapels in that city, in aid of this Institution.

A number of carriages, bektigitig to the friends of the deceased, followed the proces sion. A hearse and ale !wises conveyed the rfe ceaced. Several pant of Wales, particularly in Cardigan shire, have within the last we'd: been visited by tre. tnendous gales of wind, accompanied by torrents of rain. On Saturday and Sond4y week, the fall of rain in Cardiganshire inundated, whole districts. A new bridge over the river Arth, and two houses in the village of Pennant, were swept away ; another house, near a small brook in the vicinity of Aberay ron, shared the same fate. Near Tregaron trees were torn up by the roots, and the west end of Ilanwenug-bridge was swept away. The flood ex tended into Carmarthenshire, especially in the vil lages of Llansa we! and Mydrim, all around which was one expanse of water. The roofs of houses and buil:ling' in many places were torn away by a hurricane. A few days since, the boat of the Scourge Revenue cruiser, Lieutenant hi*CREA, haring narrowly watched, from the heights near Bare, a smuggling vessel sink her contraband goods, instantly proceed• ed to the place, and succeeded in creeping op one hundred and thirty casks of spirits, which they de. posited in the CliSton - house of that port. • . .

[TOOK TIIE DUBLIN EVENING, POST, OCT. 3.1 • Pursuant to the promise in Thursday's Post, we iciest a foll report of the proceedings=shall we call them so?—at the Lord Mayor's dinner, on Wednesday Pressing. We ariticipate the satisfaction of the whole Public in the perusal of this City feast. It is, in truth, the first time that the Public, em phatically so called, ever, within the memory of the oldest b-iing• amongst- Os, participated in the feelings which predominated at a Civic entertain. moot. Those pious orgies were always, here'efore, consecrated to the memory of old and dangeroos p ro r t i:j it u s— dice t :- .7n i vy, o the revival of irritating and insulting hatred, malice, and all uncharita bleness. Times, however, ate changed ;—a new and a brighter sera is opening upon us. A Lord Mayor of Dublin—the Bead of a Corporation, which has been so long the focus of dissension— which hes so long tried to keep the embers of po litical and religious animosity alive which has sufferer! on Opportunity to pass, and, when oppor tunities did ors( present themselves, which created occasions, to insult sod calumniate the Catholic* of Ireland—the Chief Magistrate of such a Body evinced a strength of noisol, sod stowed a maens• nimity of character, its bearding the Linn in hit den, and in refusing to sacrifice at the utthely Altar of Ascendancy. The occasion, too, which Alder man M'Kenny chose, was the most hspitv that could Imo (merited. The Represen , mtive of Misisely. with the Chi. (a of his Council, was present. A Secretary, who has already woo the hearts of all men, assisted at the celo!.rhtioss of the banquet. The Representa tives of the Nobility, the Bench and the Church, sat around him. It was a proud evening for the Lord Mayor. Ile has made it so. It was in vain that the paltry management was at work behind the cur• fain. It-was in 'silt the Orchestra had been drilled to insult the principles of the Government end of the Secretary. It was even lie sails that the Prompter's voice was audibly heard by the Andieoce, and that the Chief Actor was instructed not only as to the past he should play, hut as to his modo of perform. ing it. Ile would eat take the cue. lie knew the character too well to he schooled into its business by any mats. Ile felt that he was representing the Chief Magitisrate of the second City in the Empire. Ile felt that it was a post of honour ; that integrity and manliness should be the characteristics of the . scene, and he hail too m e th a feeling of respect for the company that attended, as well RS for himself, to obey the blots or suggestions of any man, or set of mess. To drop the metaphor, the Lord Mayor felt that the only chance which the Corporation had of i being restored to same degree of respect or considetes tion, was, if possitutp, to purge it of the had taste and !gad feeling, in which, perhaps, in es great a de gree, is to the several substantial overt arts of its im. propriety (we do not cho , le to employ a stronger term), it o esitadecline and fall in popular estimation. Whatever silly prejudice or hotheaded ignorance may pretend, theevent will allow that the Lard Mayor, on this occasiost,proved himself the real friend of the Cor poration. But this•is a matter, to us, of iiifling importance, compared to the example which his Lordship hns set.' Some of our cotemporaries affect to treat the importance which we bestow on this affair as escessive and overweening. Thole wise men know little of the country, whose affairs they pretend to discuss. There are no people in Europe, the Fres', h, perhaps, excepted, on whom externai m bola and sentiments, intrinsically it may be, of little weight, make so lively, and even such lasting im pressions as the Irish. For instance, she 66 Immor tal Memory,", a toast which a Catholic who loves freedom might drink with enthusiasm, has become effetssive to his feelings, associated as it is with an idea that it is given in a sense hostile to his liberty and his hope , —nay, it is not too touch to say, that words, harmless in themselves, have perpetuated the dissentinos of this country even more than things.— Any circumstance, therefore, which indicates a revo lution of feeling—which shows that even in the strong hold of prejudice itself an Abdiel was found, and that he succeeded its forcing " Universal Benevolence" on these hours of cutsviviality, which were hitherto cons seciated to the triumphs of bigotry, must be import ant. This, w• repeat it, is a matter of serious and general congratulation to the whole. country. It must have the effect Of softening down our party asperities; it muSt have the effect of operatingas 815 eatimplegene 'rally, and it will prose to the Government of Lord 'Talbot, with what facility the warm hearts of the People of Ireland may be won--lION snout kindness, or even liberality, makes them forget past injuries, and bury angrrand bitter recollections in oblivion. Independent of the benefits, which the know. ledge of the hiked fact would be calculated to pro. duce, it is clear,'thet the orcasion, and the time, and presence of the Lott' Lieutenant and Mr. Grant, confer tesi importance on this circUm ' starter, which it it impossible even for stupidity itself to overlook. We do not say, for we would , not, as we have deilared •on a former occasion, he the means of raking hopes, which may not be realised hat G overnment have it in contemplation to propose ny measure in favour of Catholic Emanci pation to the new Parliament.' But it is clear, that they wish to rule the People of Ireland more in love than in fear. It is manifest, that they desire the ab sence of all irritating topics—of all angry symbols— , - of ail those sesitimeusts which may awaken bitter re. collections, and perpetuate unholy prejudices.-4-Mr. Grant's Speech (which, by the way, has made more noise, and a deeper impression, than any aimilar,tio cement ever did in Ireland), is a pledge of the good will of Administration. It has been felt so—stod the first consequence operating with the good sense, good feeling, and true Patriotism of the Lord Mayor. which it has produced,' has been the sinking, would to God that it may be eternal—of those obnosioute sentiments, even in the baleen of the Corporation— their rallying point and strong holds, which have for so long a time produced such heart-burning; and io dignant recrimination, among the People •of Ireland. • .4 ,t; This we sap—and we swill 'Warn to assert, that the Public opinion ceincides with our own, is a mat ter of great importauce to the peace of the !cinema, aott.eveq . to the character of the Government. t..., ' . , -• • . _ THE/1 ritB3AZ " • 1 . —ammors., Dev inc . -Ls:vt.—The Daenna las repealed at this Theatr*,• last night, in compliance With itar "" ticular desire" of the Grand nuke ttlaht..
