M aft% NW ■ THE KING IN IRELAND. (►lox TIIII DIAILIN MINING post) th:EL N, Av a. 25.—Yesterday his Majesty ho- united the Dublin Society with his presence at a &front, given in the lawn. Hit Majesty afterwards returned to the Castle, and in a few minutes stepped into his travelling carriage. He was accompanie , l by a troqp of Hone as far as Pinglass, weer' Ae dismissed one-half of them. He then proceeded at a most rapid rate until he arrived at Asbburme, where be changed !onset. His Majesty, however, did not alight—the horses were changed in two minutes, and then drove off, accompanied by a fresh squadron, with astonishing ra pidity to Slane Castle, where he arrived at 20 ininates after 4 precisely. None of his Suite could keep up with him—which can be easily believed, as his Majesty travelled at the rate of ten Irish miles an hour. — Lord Sidnionth, Lord Marybororough, the Lord Lieu tenant, &c. arrived aboat sin o'clock. His Majesty's reception at Slane Castle was really magnificent. On the road, the coarh was cheered almost at every turn as it passes!, and on his arrival an immense concourse of the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy, rent the air with acclamations, as his Nlajesty alighted from his car riage. With his wonted kindness sad condescension, his Majesty mo-t graciously acknowledged the saluta tion of his loyal and enthusiastic subjects. his Ma jesty t'Ais day visited Drogheda, where be will receive a dutiful and loyal Address. His Majesty will return to town on Mon•lav, to dine with the University. On Tirml4y, as nor readers know, there will be a grand InstAllation of the Knights of St. Patrielc.--Mr. Plun kett has been spe..ially invited to Slane Castle to meet the King. GR4NI) DINNER TO THE KING. D'sahtsr, 2 1.—.1h-stst seven o'clock on Thurs day, the wh•Jl company bring seated and arranged in the (hand Salami, (at stated in the SvaTumsx yester sl.sy.) his ajt sty's appcoack was annou.sced. The nso mem Ilia 11 ij sty approached, the whole of the assem bly rose, aul a line enlioary band, placed in the gal lery, .truth up the gran•l National anthem of "nod Save the flis Majesty walked up the middle of the room with true re,;4l dignity, supported by the Lord Mayor, who conducted him to his Throne. His Majesty's .uite, and the Dignitaries most illustrious in occupied the Royal table. (irate wa• said by tie,. Lord Primate, when the whole of the guests re sumed their seats. The Lord Mayor helped his Ma jest:• to soup; bat some persons on his Majesty's left, i s,; air rto be helped, and being too far from the Lord Mayor, his Majesty, in the most condescend ing manner, took the ladle, and helped the Lord Lieutenant, Prince fisterhazy, the Lord Chancellor, sin?, some others. When his 51ajesty bad finished his so•tp. he took his glass, and immediately challenged the Lord 314 vor, who s it it;son Isis right, and the Lord lieutenant onr►n his left ; they immediately rose and bowed to his Nfajesty, who drank to both their healths. The cloth being reinnved, the LORD MAYOR rose, anal proposed the health of " Onr most grations Sovereign, who had honoured this day his Corporation of the City of Dublin with his presence." This toast was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The whole company made one simulta neous movement, with their glasses charged high, and each individual most enthusiastically drank to the health and.long life of his beloved Sovereign. His Majesty at this meat rose, anal having bowed in the m 41. gra , lions Intoner to tho,e ahont his own person, tad to the Corporation anal visitors below him, and also to nor fair countrywomen, who graced the circu lar gallery, sat down amidst a thunder of applauses.— The. bind immediately struck up the national Anthem, and the whole vocal strength of the city joined in a most delightful choru which appeare , l to give great satisfaction to his Majesty. as he kept time most accu rately with his hand upon the table, anal expressed his approbation more than once to the Lord Lieutenant and the Lord Mayor. The LORD Maros next gave " The Disk. of York and the Army," and subsequently, "The Du ke of Cla rence and the Navy." both of which toasts were re ceived with acclamation. The next toast iscludeil all the Members of the Royal Family.—(Lund cheering ) His Manson ezpressel t.) the Lord Mayor, who I was his host upon this occasion, his delight and snr prise at the splendid preparations that had been made for his reception. His Majesty's commendations were of such a nature as to call up the Lord Mayor to make his linmhle acknowledgements to his Majesty. His Majesty. after having most condescendingly taken wine with all those immediately about him, intimated his wish to retire; and the necessary arrangements being made, at a few minutes before ten o'clock his Majesty stood op, and, attended by the Lord Mayor and all the great Officers of State, proceeded down the centre of the room, all the company standing.— The National Anthem was again played on his Ma jesty's quitting the room. It was feared that the festivities of the evening would have been now broke. up on his Majesty's departure, but in a sidente or two the Lord Mayor returned, accompanied by Lord Sid mouth, the Marques of Londonderry, the Marquess Conyngbans, and nest of the ether Noble Peers who sat at his Majesty's able. These Noble Personages having taken their respective stations. when the Lord Mayor rising. gave sane glorious fish. 17th. and 43d of August," being the auspicious days of his Majesty's public entry, and honouring the Corporation of the City of Dahlia. ters,"—(Great applause.) ' Lord Si tomov.rn returned thanks. `• The Marquess of LuNnovntaev" rtes the next toast. In expressing his acknowledgments for %Ise kindness shewn him, his Lordship did not fail to notice, as characteris;ic of the people the reception his Majesty met the moment lie touched the Irish shore, and the manner of his Majesty's arrival. He landed. his Lordship, unaccompanied by a single soldier, and was followed to his palace by crowds, amongst whom only one sentiment pervaded; it was one of devotion to the person of the Monarch, and attachment to the Throne. The health of the Marquess of Conyngbam haring been drank, The Noble MARQUE'S returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR nest OM the health of Sir Wil liam Curtis, and Sir William rose up and returned thanks. The Lem) MAYOR soon after gave " The Mayor and loyal City of Cork," In returning thanks for which, Sir Anthony Peniit spoke. The Loren %%volt then roar, and gave, etupbati eally—" Our Most firatious Sovereign, Georgi Fourth, the King of Irelsol." The band *pia played "Ciod save the King." The Lord Mayor left the Chair, awl Mr. Ablermar Beresford was unanimously called to it. we should wish here to close our account of this grand entertain ment ; it would he for the honour of the Corporation ; it would tend nut a little to strengthen and promote that honour of sentiLient, an' of public affection so much boasted of in the course of the evening, and so , necessary to be established, if this unfortunate country is to be ever rescued from the gloomy, and almost hopeless state in which she has remained during so many ages of suffering. But the Corporation of Dublin could not, it would seem, let one peaceable eight pass away undisturbed by the hideous and dis heartening yell of intolerance. They had, during the last month, witnessed, and all bat these men admired the generous oblivion on the part of their Catholic countrymen, of all past causes of insult and irritation —the band of peace an:l conciliation was warmly and, sincerely tendered to them, but the melancholy vic tims of a stupid, rancorous, and remorseless bigotry, have hearts cloooei up, we fear, against all approaches of foirnolsloip, peace and confidence. True to their object, that of disunion, they seized on the first opportunity that presented itself bf in sulting the great majority of their countrymen, by drinking that celebrated toast—" the glorious and immortal memory," whirls is PO well known in Ireland a s the watch word of disscootion, and which has been so otter followed by scenes of blood and violence. The hero is ho had the merit of proposing this toast, was Mr. Alderman Dsrley. We wish him all the ho nour that such an act can throw around him and the Corporation ; where some disgraceful scenes of vio lence followed ; indeed, as a matter of course, which we shall, in charity to the elevated spirits of the night, pass over in contensptuoss silence. We greatly_ fear that this breach of all confidence on the part 67 the Corporation, will be the com►nencement o f open hostility, and (Ind the anion of parties which my Lord Londonderry talked of in such as exulting strain, will turn out to be a mere delusion—a hollow sound to amuse the public ear for the advancement of a purpose. ALDERMAN DARLEY. [FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING NMI.] We request the attention of the Earl 'falhot, the Marquess of Londonderry, and Lord Sidmoutl., to the following short article ; nay, if it would net ►e deemed pre‘nmptuous, we would humbly solicit the attention of our most gracious King. We have, in another place, given an account of the magnificent banquet given to hi% Majesty by the City I of Dublin. We have endeamered to do justice to the scene, as well as to thearrangements made. They were indeed, take them altogether, such as were suitable to the occasion, and honourable to the exertions of the Lord Mayor and the general Stewards. Through the entire evening, Sir Ab. King conducted himself in the most praiseworthy and hospitable manner. Every thing that a host could do to render bis guests comfort able, was done by the Chief Magistrate. After he re tired, Alderman Beresford was invited to the Chair, and there could not have been a better Chairman. — About eleven o'clock, a dtputation of certain persons waited on him, to request that he would give a woo. The toast proposed was, " the Glorious and himoital Memory"—a toast which has done snore to keep alive and perpetuate a bad and bitter feeling, than any watchword of Sedition ever beard in this or any other country. Alderman Beresford then declined the invitation. Alderman Darley, however, the Police Magistrate, who holds his place imme diately. under the Government—who holds Met place upon good brharioar—who is appointed rape daily to preserve the peace, amply paid for the duty— who, we say, of all men in society, should be distin guished for obedience to the commands of his supe riors—for compliance with the desire of the King— for the strictest propriety in meads', not only the duties of his office, but also for the good sense and good feeling by which a man, in his place, should avoid giving an °fence or provoking a breach of the peace—Alderman Darley, the Police Magistrate, after speech* for a while, was the first man to ling the apple of discord amongst the King's loyal subjects, by giving" The Glorious, Pious, sad Immortal Memory !" This toast was reiterated from the Chair amid the loude%t clamour. We need not uy, that we entertain no personal enmity against this man: Indeed we have no persollsai enmity against any man. In what we are about to say, we are influenced alone by a sense of what is doe to the peace of the Country, and what we ewe, as loyal subjects, to 'he person dour gracion and. bene- the first plare, whet, tof his Majesty in _ F ire ? We base answered this ques des repeatedly--his Majesty has answered it for as. The following is an extract from his Majesty's An swer to the Arabbishops. Bishops, and Clergy of the Established Church : lily ask, Iting this " I rely, with confidence, en your assiduity and ear nestness in the discharge of the sacred duties of your Ministry, and upon your zealous, and unremitting en deavours, both by precept and example, to promote and cherish the benevolence and charities of our holy reli gion, amongst all classes and descriptions of your fel-, low subjects." Had Alderman Darley, who was receiving the King's money, this paragraph in his mind, when he gave this toast? Did he recollect for what his Majesty had come to Ireland? Did he recollect the whole tenor of the King's conduct during his visit? Did he recollect .the Conciliation Dinner, at which the Cbief Magistrate of Dublin presided, and which was honored by the pre sence of Lord Fingall, as representative, on this occa. sion of the Catholic feeling of Ireland? Where was the memory of this magistrate? Where was his de cency—where his loyalty to the King ? [hitherto loyalty has Seen a marketable commodity in Ireland• It was a commodity, of which Alderman Darley and his like have made money. It is now the spontaneous, the unpurchased and imphurrhasable feeling of the whole nation. It will continue so, in spite of the efforts of Alderman Darley and his party. But we have no hesi tation in saying, that the attempt which this paid magis trate has made to disturb the unanimity of the Irish people—to sow dissension once more amongst them should he punished. We do not desire to see him dis. missed, though lie richly deserves it ; but lie should re ceive a reprimand for this insult to the King—for this violation of his duty as a magistrate—fur this insult to the country;—sod this reprimand should be made public.

LONDON: TULSDAT Ivvow:, ACOOST 28, 1821. -l-- STOCK ENCH.INGIg, KLEV/ril O'CLOCK. The house is much crowded this morning, and a great deal of business is transacting. The great Speculators have returned from Path, end have com menced their operations in the Funds. A certain panic prevails in the market, and the Bolls and Bears seem to be afraid of each other. The Consols opened at 75, with a very heavy market. To-morrow being Settling•day, it is feared that some heavy failures will take place. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The panic hal partly subsided, and the Funds are a quarter per Cent. better. The Paris papers to the 26:1i inst. which have readied us since our last, throw no further light on the •iews of the Ottoman and Russian Cabinets. No in telligence has yet arrived to authenticate the pretended contents of the l'itiotaimm transmitted by Russia to Constantinople. It is scarcely credible that Alexander will content himself with the terms which he is sup posed to have offered to the Porte, viz. the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Turkish troops; an amnesty in favour of uu.irmed Oreeks ; the re-estab lishment of the Greek Churches ; a free passage (which was actually enjoyed by Russia previous to the rup ture) through the Dardanelles fur the Russian ships laden with corn ; and an apology to Baron Strogonoff, It appears by an article, dated Berlin, August 16, that no movement whatever had taken place in that capi tal, indicating a disposition on the part of Prussia to interfere directly or indirectly in any contest between Russia and Turkey. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Charles Stuart had a private interview of the French Monarch on Friday last, when Sir Charles officially communicated to his Majesty the news of the Queen's death. An order was consequently issued for a Court Mourning of twenty-one days, according to the regular etiquette. Pavers FUND:S.—Five per Cents. SR 45c.

Jour 8.--ArriveJ the British frigate Bo• ryalus, W. Kinghood, eight rays from Kingston. The Kingston papers of Upper Canada, mention th e arrival there of the Earl of Dalhousie, on lie 13th of July. The style assigned by the Ministerial papers on the subject of the late affray at Knightsbridge Barrack s i e as well calculated as they can wish to promote the asi mosky between the soldiers and thepeople. To male. fain that the military are always is the right, sad t i e populace in the wrong, may be gratifying to these wh e possess the direction of the sword and pen ; In e t keep up the variance that subsists between large d eem , of society, and the men whose only duty it is to pro tect the whole, is as grossly isconsistent with the policy of a liberal and enlightened Government as it is possible to conceive. Never have m e e t gross misrepresentations been attempted than the w we see in the Ministerial prints of the scenes t h at have taken place both at Cumberland Gate and Knightsbridge; never have false colourings and ap e . logies been made of a tendency more direct N ante ' indigestion in one class of the peol.le, and encourage the most dangerous boldness in another. What ether effect can the following paragraph from The Corder ei last night produce ? " It is said that a soldier levelled a carbioe at Mr. WAITIMAN. We have inquired into this fact, and we find that the Sheriff reek upon the foot-path, where a corporal was placed, sad appeared to the corporal to intend to ride over him._ Bystanders thought that it arose merely from the rijfr mot hating ymite a good command of his Amt. But if the corporal thought otherwise, surely he is set rev!, blameable for taking the best means in his rea r of &terse's!: the Sheriff from committing the assault." To spew the cold-bloeded malevolence of this rem sentation would be a waste of words ; as it would also he to expose the statement which is annexed to this of the origin of the affray. " With regard to the main fact of the riot, we have," con.inues The Cruricr, " made strict enquiry, and we find the truth to be, that a quarrel arose between Rome of the rabble and two of the Life Guards who happened accidentally to be out of the barrac ks."—Nut a word is here said of the soldiers appearing at the windows of the barracks while the funeral procession was past ing and affecting to wipe their eyes ; not a word el the brickbat which at that juncture was threes from the barrack-yard upon the people. Another pa per of last night indeed, in a similar spirit, bed ties ingenuity and courage to assert, on some nameless authority, that the brickbat bad been previously throws over the wall from the road ; but that falsehood was of two clumsy a kind to use. We will supper. however, that the throwing of the brickbat and tie mockery of the Life Guardsmen at the windows (ea of whom perhaps might be the murderer of FILANCII I ) had'neTellict in rousing the faelisoof tbs. pegiatlat as even suppose that the affray originated in a quarrel between some of the crowd and the two Guardsmen who had been out of the barmcks ; we would then 'main by what accident, as it is termed, they happened to be out. Foreseeing the collision that would take place on Sea day between the populace and the Life Guards, if they came in contact, we earnestly deprecated the proces sion when it was proposed; and much lamented, idea it was persisted in, that the route by Bayswater, ss et first suggested, had not been chosen. But if the steps taken by the managers of the Funeral were injadicients, might not niore precaution have been expected on the part of those of superior minds who have the ma nazement of the military ? Even the conductors of the procession had the good sense to avoid putting is under the direction of individuals who were supposed to be rash and obnoxious to Government ; yet neither the Government nor the Military Officers had the fore sight to take care that no umbrage should be given to the attendants of the Funeral. The gates of Hyde Park had been securely shut; but the gates of the bar racks had been left open, and two of the Life-gnards• men are confessed to have been drinking and quarrel ing nith the populace. On such an occasion and in such a state of temper as the people were re Sunday, was not this quarrel enough to produce the affray. and ought not each a cause have bee prevented ?—The origin and progress of the for mer catastrophe at Caneberlearliate matinees bolo traced with diligence by the Coroner's Inquest.
