4 'V ` 4- `Oll NBA' LORD MAYOR OF DITHLIN AR • RITURN 01 THI REIGN 01 DISCORD. On Monday last, agreeably to annual custom, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of Dublin for the year en sulog, were ievestod with the insignia of their respec tive ogees, and went in procession to the Castle, where they were.conducted to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant, and afterwards proceeded to the Sessions house, where the new Lord Mayor and Sheriffs were ay. ad igh sworn into office. in the evening the Lord Mayor gave a grand dinner to upwards of 400 personages, which was honoured by ids Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and suite. Amongst the distinguished guests, we observed Lords Cloncurry. Norbury, Longford, Powerscon rt, General Freeman, Col. Talbot, Sits R. Shaw, M.P. ; A. B. King, Thomas Ellis, Esq.. M.P., &c. After dinner a tartely of touts were given, of the usual kind on such an *cation, and the health of the Sheriffs being drank, and they having returned thanks, The Loan MATOR then rose and ad4reseed the meet iag nearly as follows :—His Lordship said, be was about to propose a toast, which, he trusted, would not be nsisanderstood by his friends, as be did not give it as a party toast, nor did he offer it as an offence to any party whatever ; he therefore trusted his intention would not be misconstrued by any one, as the toast he was about to propose was a Charter toast, and not in tended to give offence in any pOlitical way. His Lord iMpumocluried by giving, "The Memory of King llilPmi the Third, the Founder and Friend of Civil and Religious Liberty."—(Lond cheers.)—His Lord. ship then gave—" Universal benevolence." His Excellency having intimated his wish to the Lord Mayor to retire, rose, and gave—" The Corpora tion of the city of Dublin." This mark of his Excellency's favour was received with loud cheers. His Excellency and suite then left the room, accom panied by several Noblemen and Oentlemen—the Lord Mayer conducted his Excellency to his carriage about half-past eleven o'clock. Upon his Lordship's return to the Chair. the remain der of the Company enjoyed themselves, and did not separate until a late hour. The foregoing is taken from Saunders's paper ; the annexed is from the Freeman's Journal : " Shortly after eleven o'clock, the new Lord Mayor rose, and gave The Memory of King William the Third.' His Lordship disclaimed all intention of of fending his Catholic fellow subjects. for whom be pro fessed much respect ; he proposed die toast, because it • was a usual Corporation tout, and had always been a firouri's of his own. " It was received and drank with great approbation by the majority of the company; but some Gentlemen • including Members of the Corporation, did not drink it. " The Lord Lieutenant was present at this time. His Excellency, after a very short interval, gave 6 Prosperity to the City of Dublin,' after which he retired. We state these frets exactly as they reached us." ' The following is another version of the Lord Mayor's Preface on introduoinr The Memory of King William.' it is from a Gentleman who was present, and on whose accuracy and honour we repose the greatest confidence, and is, we have reason to thiak, literally correct Without meaning the slightest disrespect to my Ca *ltalic allow.Cortntiven, aml sot as any Party Toast, 1 give you the Memory of grit, William the Third, as the Friend of Civil and Religious Liberty, and who gave us our Constitution." We shall close our account of this Feast, says The Datilin Evening Post, with the following communica tion from a Correspondent:— " Si a—The Lord Mayor, after some observations, dis claiming all intention of givingoffence, or creating (Re union, announced' The Memory of William lII.' which 'rout was received with loud acclamations. I had heard it rumoured that his Lordship had determined, at a late bout yestertley, to follow the example of his immediate predecessor, in abstaining from giving a toast which, however usual at civic entertainments, had been recent ly universally admitted, to be only calculated to excite feelings of jealousy and party-spirit; and I need scarce ly add, that I should have been highly gratified bad this course been adopted. Unhappily, however, the thing is otherwise ; and it is even whispered, that motives of a personal nature may have had some influence on the oc casion, Isis Lordship being, as I have heard, unwilling to lose the opportunity of obtaining some influence amongst his brethren of the Corporation—especially when it would be procured at the expense of the popula rity of the worthy Gentleman who preceded him.' In what manner " the Toast " was received by setae part of the company, and what effect it is likely to produce, may be inferred from the following letter feints LOW Cloncurry:— TOTHE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. " Sm.—Being named as one present at the Lord Mayor's Dinner of yesterday, I beg leave to say, in order to prevent misrepresentation of my conduct, that when his Lordship toasted King William, I turned down my glass and remained seated. " At table with the Lord Lieutenant, and a Guest of the Lord Mayor, I felt that it would not be decorous for so inconsiderable a person to take farther notice at the moment. I wish, however, that the Lord Mayor, when he determined to re-produce this Toast, had given notice, not only to the Lord Lieutenant, but to the Roman Catholics whom he had invited, and, generally, to all those not likely to forget, in one short month, the benevolent injunctions of our Sovereign. " individually. I have a great respect for the memory of King IVillimo the Third. He was adhere! Dutchman; :lad intended more good to Ireland than any King I ever beard of, except his present Majesty; but as Mayors and Coporators are not necessarily Historians, they ge nerally give this toast from party motives, and it has long become a kind of pass-word among those who desire by the insult and exclusion of their more worthy Fellowtitisens, to arrogate to themselves those petty honours and emolumets which want of industry or talent render so necessary to them. " Bad taste and bad feeling received a mortal wound from the hand of his Majesty; and if for one moment they may raise their heads, public opinion, and the march et events must put diem down. The King.Com muds, and the times require benevolence and Union. " Your obedient Servant, " Dublin, Oct. 2, 11. " CLONCURRY." DETZCTION or SMVOGLED JIIWZLLIRT.---We under stand that last week some cues, similar to those used to convey Government despatches, directed to the Right Hon. Charles Grant, having caused suspicion that they were not what they purported to be, were opened at the Custom-house, were it was found that they contained Jewellery for an eminent house is this City: they were put under seizure, and a communi cation of tke circumstance immediately forwarded to Mr. Grant.—(llublio Erwin: Post.) THE KING. ' Bynum, SEPT. 28.—His Majesty departed from Lille for Brussels on Thursday morning, at ten o'clock. The last stage to the latter city he was drawn by six horses of the King of the Netherlands, attended by an escort of Hussars. His Majesty im mediately proceeded to the house of Lord Clancat ty, . . situate in the Park, where the Duke of Wellington, the Marquess of Londonderry and Conyngbans, and Sir B. Bloomfield were waiting to receive him. A body of infantry were drawn up before the Ambas sador's house, with the State band of music, which struck up on his Majesty's arrival the national anthem of " God save the King." His Majesty was dressed in a plain dark brown coat, and appeared to be in good health and spirits. He was well received by the people. A number of English Gentlemen had placed themselves near the entrance to the Ambassador's house, by whom the King was enthusiastically greeted. His Majesty appeared highly gratified with this mark of attention, and acknowledged it with his usual graciousness. About a quarter of an boor after his arrival the King of the Netherlands came in his coach drawn by six horses, escorted by a body guard, to congratulate him on his arrival. His Majesty did not leave Lord Claocarty's house that evening, bat par took of a fete prepared for him there, with a select party. The small theatre at the front of the house, and some few houses in the neighbourhood. as well as the great theatre. were illuminated. On Friday his Majesty visited the theatre; and Saturday, we under stand, was fixed for his visit to the field of Waterloo. accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. He was also to be gratified with a review of the Belgian troops at Brussels. Monday morning was fixed for his depar ture for Hanover. His Majesty's style of travelling, with the exception of an escort, is more in the fashion of an English Nobleman than in the splendour of a British Monarch. The King of France had ordered relays of cavalry to escort our King through that country, but bis Ma jesty declined that mark of respect. SEPT. 29.—11 is Britannic Majesty, in one of the Court carriages, drawn by six horses, went yesterday to the Palace of harken, at half-past four o'clock.— Lord Clanearty followed in another carriage. There was a grand dinner, and then a play. When his Ma jesty returned to Brussels the Allee Verte was illumi nated. This evening his Majesty will be present at the representation of the Bajaderes, at the Theatre Royal. To-morrow his Majesty will visit the fi •Id of Waterloo, with the Duke of Wellington, the hero of that memorable day. SEPT. 30.—The representation at the Great Theatre, yesterday evening, will be memorable in our theatri cal annals. His Britannic Majesty, the King, and all the Royal Family, the Duke of Wellington, the Mar guess of Londonderry, a great number of the illus trious strangers, as well as an immense crowd of spec tators, were present, and the Theatre was overflowed. The spert•ucle was worthy of such an assembly. The King of England, who was to depart to-day, after viewing the field of Waterloo will remain bete; his departure is fixed for to-morrow, at 8 o'clock, a. m. OCT. I.—The King of England set out this morn ing at nine o'clock for Namur; he will visit the plain of Waterloo as he passes. He takes the road to Huy. Lege, sod Aix-is-Chapelle, to Germany. Hie lio}eastr his purchased some magnificent Brussels lace, and some articles of jewellery of M. Dutalis. FR•NIEVORT SEPT. 25.—Lords Yarmouth and Bo lingbroke, Chamberlains of his Britannic Majesty, have just arrived here. Mr. Lamb, English Minister to the Uermanic Diet, has set off for Bruessels, where be will take the orders of his Sovereign. He will be there on the arrival of that Monarch, and return to our town two days before Isis Majesty arrives here. The repairs and embellishments which have been made at the Hotel of the English Legation for the reception of the King. will cost upwards of 5000 florins. We do not, however, know positively what day his Majesty Will honour our town with his presence. Lieutenant-General Tench has been removed from' the command of the Plymouth Division of Royal Ma. rines, in consequence of having countentoced a remon strance from the officers of that division against the re storation of Lieutenant-Colonels Savage and Abernethy to the service, after they had been removed in conse quence of the judgment of a Court-martial ; the one altogether from the list of officers of the Royal Ma rines, and the other to the permanent half-pay of the corps. Mr. Gurney, the short-hand writer, has been sum moned to Ireland to facilitate the labours of the Com missioners of Inquiry. Four extra Chapels are about to be erected in the parish of St. Mary-le-bone. One is already begun in Windham-place, Montagne-square ; and the foundation of another is preparing at the top of Edward-street, opposite to Foley-place. MASSACRII O/—THE ROTAL TERTLE.REtrad Of a letter from Paris, Oct. I.—" His Majesty Louis XVIII. resolving to entertain his Rritatinic Majesty with what he fancied be was most fond, sent for a quan tity of live turtle to London, and a person came over to feed them. They were getting remarkably fine, and fit for a Royal feast, when the news arrived that George IV, did not intend to visit Paris—an immediate suspension of all preparations took place, and the turtle were doomed to an watinsely fate. the warrant for their execution mas signed late Thursday evening, and on Fri day they were weltering in their blood ! A French poet of the Boulevards, has, we understand, written a ost pathetic Elegy, in which the dying turtles are I.l.ide to lament their bard fate, in not serving for arn past to Neptune, for so they designate die Monarch who sways the trident of the seas. REMARLABLE DEATH OF A Honsx.—On Saturday week, a draught horse, the property of Mr. James Fitzsimons, of Whitehaven. suddenly became danger• may ill, and on the succeeding day died in great agony, notwithstanding every effort being used to pro mote its recovery. The body of the horse bas been opened, and in the straight gut a solid ball was found, • measuring above twelve inches in circum ference, and weighing somewhat more than 18 ounces, which appear to be the immediate cause of death. — The ball has been-cut in two, aid submitted to the in spection of a scientific person, and found to consist of a cemented mass of excrement, nearly as bard as a stone. Until Saturday the horse continued in excellent condition, and was allowed to be one of the finest animals for strength and bone in this country. THE 'ATE MAN. , r . —...azilENT EXTRAORDINARY.

(FURTISCR PARTICULARS.) NILIVBAVEN, OCT. 3, 10 A. M.-Mr. Green, who al. cended from black Rock bottom yesterday, arrived in this port, in the Unity packet, Capt. Clear, this morn ing about two o'clock. As I observed yesterday, he de scended in consequence of the balloon having unexpect edly taken a course to sea When overthisplace, and, ob serving the packet and another vessel, he deemed it pru dent that no time should be lost in descending as near to those vessels as possible. The balloon, after having reached the water, drifted nearly a mile before it could be secured, and, in endeavouring to secure it, the jib boom of the vessel pitched into it, and did, in conse quence, considerable injury. Mr. Green had great dif ficulty in extricating himself from the ropes attached to the car, and considers lie should not have been able to have sustained himself more than five minutes longer had not the crew of the packet rendered him the assist ance they did. The crew of a King's boat from Birling Gap put off, at great risk, to render Mr. Green every as sistance in their power. When he first ascended, be had no doubt but that he should have kept along the land for • considerable distance; but the current of air being dif ferent above from what he expected, defeated his inten tions; otherwise there is no doubt he would have gone many miles before he alighted. One of the crew of the packet, in his eagerness to rescue Mr. Green from a wa tery grave, nearly lost his own life by jumping into the sea instead of the boat. He was saved by a rope being thrown to him frOm the vessel, the vessel at the time being under a press of canvas, and going fast through the water. The Unity has on board the corpse of Th mas King, Esq. who died in Paris on the 10th of Sep tember last. The Unity has been at sea ever since Fri day last, and has experienced very heavy gales. The principal part of her passengers were landed at the port of Dover; the vessel, however, being very superior, ha nut sustained the least injury.

The conduct and manners of her Royal Highness are the theme of universal praise, and the regularity of her household, and her punctuality in payments. are subjects of equal admiration. The slender income of her Royal Highness from the State, snggests the se- 1 cessity of economy, but the liberality of her brother, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, towards her, is understood to compensate the scantiness of any other resource. The retired habits of tbet Prince, and the delicacy with which he exercises his munificent's has occasioned in some instances his character Or be mistaken, or not properly recognised. Reports were raised, some time ago, that he had pur chased large estatesin Germany, while the only ground for the rumour was that he had purchased a small mansion at Vienna, for a younger brother. His Royal Highness has made considerable additions, by purchase, to his estate at Claremont, where all the domestics who were in service at the death of the Princess Char lotte still reside. From the great improvements car rying oa there, and the number of persons whom be employs, his Royal Highness, it is said, pays nearly the whole of the poor rates of the parish. The mansion is now undergoing a thorough repair, in consequence of the dry rot having affected the timbers. The ex pense of these repairs is estimated at no less than £lO,OOO. Mrs. Didion, has taken up her residence in Paris— she says for life, having retired from the stage. In the vale of Llangollen and its romantic neigh• boarbood in Denbighshire. there has scarcely been one hour's rain during the last fortnight. A north-west wind has blown with such violence from the 27th of September to the 3d of October, as to deter passengers from attempting to cross the Channel. More than aOO persons were collected in Calais on the 2d lust. ;raids( for a passage. N ORT PIN kinsvisto.—On Friday night liberal subscriptions were entered into for the amusements of next year, amongst which the establishment of the long-talkedof Race Course at Duneancroy is contem plated. Lord Huntly, in addition to his other subscriptions, placed 501. at the disposal of Glengarry, to which the Chief added 25/. and many other sub scribed. making altogether a parse of about 150/. as irises for the exercises of the True Highlanders, who at the next Northern Meeting are to challenge, not only the low country, but all countries, in feats of strength and agility. Tus lisayssr.—The harvest in the north of Scot land has hitherto gone on well, the crop mach better than was at one time expected ; but no time should be lost in securing it, as, with the prevailing southerly winds, we may expect rains, which in England have lately l*ea excessive.—(Ediehrgh Star.) The harvest may now be said to be concluded in Berwickshire. and every thing got in, in the very best condition. The crops are abundant.—(lbid.) A farmer of the name of Bell, residing at New House. in Baldersdale, has is his possession a goose, which. in the course of two years, has hatched and brought np forty-three goslings; and. what is remark able. six of the last brood, hatched is June last. and which are therefore only fear months old, have been sold, sod &aid to weigh 13Ibs. each. are A singular rade Wes no on Monday last, near Chat ham Uses, fee a assasidemble amen between a broken winded Mood hone (belonging to a gentleman at (folamest) and a coach horse, an old fox-hunter, the property of the proprietor of the Chatham coach. The horses were matched to run eight times over the course, a mile and quarter round. At starting, the odds were in favour of the blood horse; the fox-hunter, however, ' took the lead, and kept it nine miles, when the jockey of the blood horse put it to its speed, and won in true Newmarket style. The ten miles were run in rather less than twenty-seven minutes. A Poor Race.—A running match which excited the most lively interest, for a wager of 20 guineas, took place on Wednesday morning in Hyde-park, be• tween two young men of well known pedestrian fame, who were designated for the occasion, the one Jack Spiggott, and the other Tall Boy. At seven o'clock they met at the Basin, from whence they proceeded to Buck-hill, where the ground (150 yards) was mea sured. Before they started betting was rather in favour of Jack Spiggott, whose ability as a runner has long been known, but when both were stripped, the high condition, length, strength, and known bottom of Tall Boy completely turned the tables, and betting then became 5 and 6 to 4in his favour. They started precisely at 20 minutes past seven o'clock, and kept abreast for 80 yards, when Jack Spigots began to lose ground. Betting now became Btol,lo to 1, and at last 20 to 1, and any odds, as every stride threw him behind. Tall Boy eventually won the match, beating poor Jack upwards of nine yards, amidst the accla mafioso of the winning party. On Thursday last, a journeyman baker undertook for a trifling wager, to pick op with his mouth 100 stones in 30 minutes, on Stroud-green. Newbury. The stones were one yard distant from each other, and were to be taken up separately, and brought to the place where the first stone was laid. The baker performed the task fire minutes within the given time.—(Bade Journal) An oyster, measuring 18 inches in circumference, and weighing 24 ounces, was lately taken from the oyster-pit of Mr. Wes. Mann, it Hartlepool. The Hon. F. G. Howard has this year grown, in his garden, at his seat of Blford.Hall, in Staffurciehire, a bunch of white grapes, which were of the extraordinary weight of fifteen pound,. MARKETS.
