DINNER TO MR:"O'CONNELL IN GALWAY. ." (most •N IRISH PAPER.) The public Dinner intended to be given to Mr. O'Connell to place on Sunday evening last. The Compare'', which c onsisted of the rank, talent, and integrity of the town and neighbour hood, .at down to a splendid dinner. Sir JOHN BURKE, Bart. of Marble-hill, in tile Chair. He was supported on tither side by Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Caleraft, son to &distinguished Member of Parliament. p. A. Blake,.Bsq. acted as Vice President. The number of persons who ►at down to dinner amounted nearly to one hundred and fifty. The mural toasts were drank, and after the health of Lord Wellesley had been toasted, amid the must enthusiastic planditc, Sir Joule BURKE, in a short but very eloquent strain, proposed the health of '• Mr. O'Connell." The descriptive powers of the editor of The Connaught Jouxnal almost fail when describing the enthusiasm and acclamation uith which the toast was received. At length, when the acclamation had somewhat snlosided, Mr. O'CoNtret,t. rose, and delivered in his best manner, one of his best Speeches. After a short pause— Mr. P. LYNCH said, by the particular wish of the Stew ards, I rise to propose a toast, with whirl, the near connec tion of our much respected Chairman may, in some degree, interfere incoming from the Chair, but in which I am sore your sentin ents, and those of the public of Daltrey will fully and warmly acquiesce. He then proposed the health - . . of— . "The Berl of Clanricarde." Sir Jous Bunke rose, and thanked the assembly for the honour conferred on his illustrious nephew. He was in. deed, a Nobleman of an expanded intellect and compreisen• ' sive mind; and added, (he was proud to say) to his acquire ments, a disposition, generous, noble and patriotic. The next toast proposed was— " The Mcmory of the Right lion. Henry Grattan"—(in silence.) " Mr. Plunkett."—(reiterat.d cheers.) st Henry Brougham."— (g reet applause.) " T. S. Rive."—(applause ) Sir Joux Buau rose to propose a toast which would retell to the minds of those who heard him the memory of the best. of. Ireland's friends, although a Scotchman.— They all knew and appreciated his talents and his services when Secretary for Ireland; and lie (Sir John) could as• bare that Assembly, that his exertions in her favour had not relaxed. even now that he had been removed front his offi cial situation in that country. He was persuaded it would be drauk a ith enthusiasm. He then gave— " The Right Hen. Charles Grant." (great applause and cheering.) . The next toasts were— " Earl Grey, and the Bishop of Norwich." (loud applause and continued cheering.) Sir Jona Boots rose ro propose a toast which he was well aware would meet the cordial and most ardent wishes of his friends around him. He meant that Association of Gehtlenwn which fearlessly and candidly reviewed the state of Ireland ; proposed measnres for the amelioration of its condition, and stated to the logis!a.ure the causes of its misfortunes. He had not to tell the Meeting that be meant— " The Catholic Association."--(the most intense ap plause.) "The Duke of Norfolk and the English CathOlics." "The boeit Chief Jastice end Irish Bar." Mr. (Erosuebi rose again on this occasion, and pasSttl a high enlogium uo the Lord Chief Justice. He then gave the health of • Dr. Jcbh, the Prose-taut Bishop of Limerick." " The Chamber of Cdinineice, and prosperity to Gal way." Mainly rose, and returned Thanks in a neat Speech." " The Very lker. Dr. French and the Clergy." [Mr. Warden expressed his acknowledgments, in an elaborate Speech, for which we have not room ] • The Liberty of the Prig's." Mr. P. O'FLangiurv, the Editor of The Connaugh. „louraul, returned Thanks in a neat and appropriate Speech. The health of the Stewards was then drank, for Which lomm BLANC returned Thanks in a hindsoine Speech of some length 1 and Mr. O'Connell having signified his intention of departing, he piefaced it in his usual warm and elegant style. The evening passed off with the utninit harinotiy, and the polished and e'erant demeanor of the Chairman added nut a little to the brilliancy of a FLte. which, we believe is Unexampled iu the annals of Galway. CORE, A U6114T 7.—SURRINDER or AR3lB.—Thera is tw symptotu of this country's approach to a state of pro found and permanent tranqnilllty, we hail with move satis factiOn, than that of the surrender of the arms in possession of the peasantry, as whilst it affords a proof of their good disposition to place themselves under the protection Of the laws, it also removes them from the danger attendant upon bring induced to the committal of further crime, witilA many of them have been led into by the mere possession 0: arms. In orier to carry this desirable object into effect, we understand, that on Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Becher, Boman Catholic Citrate of Doneraile, addressed the con gregation at Shanhallymore Chapel, in that parish, exhort ing them in the most fordable language, to abandon those civil ways, which led so many of their neighbours and acquaintance to destruction.—He conjoral them, that if they valued their peace here and hereafter, they would, as the first step towards amendment, give up all arms they were in possession of, as whilst they retained them it was in vain for them to expect one tranquil moment. We are happy to learn that the exhortation of the Rev. Gentleman has been very successful. FoRMATIO:I or GRAND JURIIIB.—The following Inei dent occurred at the swearing in of the Grand Jury fur the county of Gala ay a few days ago. As soon as the Foreman's name had been called, Valen tine Blake, Esq. called the attention of the Court to a sub ject which, he conceived, materially affected the formation of Juries. We have not space to enter into the minutiae of Mr. Blake's observations, which came to this—that, as the eldest son of a Baronet, he was entitled to a place, and a sigh one, on the Connty Panel. This was, he said, one of the pritileges of the patent; and be therefore moved his Lordship, that his name should be inserted. He did not impute unworthy motives to the High Sheriff, but had rather imputed the blame to his head. For his part, he told have no object but the public good in pressing his motion. After a few words from the highly respectable Sheriff, Mr. Blake's motion was granted by the Court, sad his-same inserted second on the Grand Panel. CAUTION TO IBRAWARC—A o information has been exhi bited against Mr. James Headon, brewer, of Plymouth, by' , the Collector of Excise, under an Act of Parliament, (Ist and 24 Geo. IV. c. 22.) for selling and sending out divers qusaticies of beer to various persons without delivering cer- tifwates signed by him, or by some person on his behalf, to be left with the beer, from the printed forms in a book de livered to him by an officer of Excise, and with printed forms and titles, to be kept in some public and open part of Ids entered premises. certifying the date and quantity of biter sold and delivered, to whom sold, and at what rate; and also for nut having made a corresponding entry there-; of, containing the same particulars is the hook delivered to bins, whereby he incurred a penalty of 2001. The case was heard on Friday, at the Guildhall, before the Worship ful the Mayor, and Edmund Lockver. Esq. Justice, when 100 W. Heiden was convicted is the mitigated peneilty of ~H~s~r, WAPPING 11%PratlaNC.E.

Sailed the IValsingham packet, for Cadiz, and Mediterranean. LIVERPOOL, Ava. 11.-The Lady Comberanere, Fell, from Africa, was driven on shot..., vesterday. at Southport, but was got off this morning with loos of false keel. The reported seizure of the Prince of Brasil packet and a Swedish brig, at Guayaquil, is not true ; they were mere ly pot in requisition by the Uolotuoian Government, to car ry troops to Callon. We are sorry to learn that the herring fishing in Loch fine, this season, is very unproductive. Five years ago the value of the herrings taken in one season, amounted to 40,1001.: last year it was reduced :o 15,01101. ; and this sea son is not expected to yield more than 10,0001. On the north-west coast of Scotland, however, there is every pros pect of a most abundant fishery. In one night upwards of 15 cranes were caught in Loch Hourn, on the west coast of Koss-shire : and in all the Lochs along the coast there is every appearance of immense quantities of fish. A trial made in the Moray Frith, from Cromarty, proved also very successful; and at all the stations along the east coast, the fisheries and curers are in a state of active opts ration. James Ford, mate of the brig :.lermaids, of Montrose, a very promising young man, was unfortnnately drowned in the Oulf of Fin land, on the 3d of July last. The Mer maids on that day came in sight of a vessel water.logged, and Captain Kinnear being anxious to render every assist ance in his power, passed under her stern, and found her to be the Ocean, of North Shields, abandoned by her crew. Captain Kinnear, with his mate and some others of his crew, boarded the Ocean, and the mate having gone aloft, was in the act °feinting some rigging from the cross trees, when the mast giiing way, he was carried overboard along with it and drowned. Toe Mermaids being bound for St. Po. tersburg proceeded on her voyage without being able to do ally thing for the safety of the Ocean. Yesterday was the warmest day since the 7th or last May, and one degree warmer than that day. On the 7th of May, at I P. as., the mercury in mir thermometer, in the Strand, stood at 75 degrees; hot, at II the tame night, it jell ho 53. Yesterday, a . 1 o'clock, it was at 76 de grees ; and at II at night, it stood at 68. This day, at 1 o'clock, it reached 7S degrees. _ _ _ The weather since our last has actually proceeded from bad to worse, to the great disappnintment of many who ex pected an important alteration for the better at the change of the moon, which happened on Wednesday at two o'clock. So far, however, from any amendment having taken place. that the rain, which in the early part of the week was con fined to the night time, has now extended to the day also, and continue:vim fall almost withont intermission. The amid has likewise considerably inereased, and the atmo sphere remains for the most part dark and lowering. more resembling a gloomy November than the last week in the dog days. Every Is bonne of such weather as we expe rienced on Wednesday and Thursday must retard the har vest at least a week. Accounts from all parts of the kiiL dont agree in rating that the growing crops have suffered from the extreme wetness of the season ; but by no means to that extent which the evil forebodings of some and the wiallea of others could impress upon the public belief. The best proof of this fart and of the abundance of oil grain in the country is, that pricesare declining in London and in all the principal corn naarkets,antl that the average price of wheat in England and Wales has fallen every week for the last mantle mowithstanding the neg.-ilia] season. and the prospect of a late lia..vest.—(Carlisle Journel.) Yesterday, the Royal Sovereign steam yacht, was en gaged to convey a party to Winatable Bay, near Margate; and On its return, when near Gravesend, 'he passengers were thrown into the utmost consternation by a young man stabbing a person with a cheese-knife in the temple, in two different places. It stem+ the occasido of this rash act originated in a love affair. The young man in custody, it appears, was a forsaken lover of a young lady on beard, whom he accidentally met th.-r.. with bee present soitor.— During the early part of the day words had arisen between the parties, which terminated in the dreadful attenipt which took place. When the vessel arrived opposite the Thames Police Mire, tie prisoner was given in custody to an officer of that establishment. We understand from a medical person on beard, that the wounded tuaa Is in a dangerous state. Cueicies Cesa.—On Tend ay, i very ernione, diffiCult, and amusing case was decided in the Court of Quarter Sea aeons held at Malignly, arising oet of an appeal from the decision of the Petty Sessions. The case was at the in stance of the road trustees on the Rtitherglen road, in sisting upon double toll from a rarer apnn the following grounds :—The carter, in passing the toil in the morning-, 'coining to Glasgow, paid the usual does. At Gat time there was in the cart, and its whole load., a country girl coming to make markets thee, and who had along will her at the time an empty jar and eottie other ankles of very trilling hulk. In returning, it happened that the carte' good naturedly gave his female friend and her baggage (again his whole toad) a ride hitch but In the mean time she lied got her jam filled, and had also with her a fete purchases, which made her trifling Imager, rather more bulky than what it had been in the Marning. The tall keeper demanded double toll, insisting that the load was not the same which hail passed in a e morning—that In fact it had been altered, increased, augmented, was larger, heavier than before—in short, that the load, animate and inanimate, had been materially changed from what it Was in the morning, which brought it within the scope of the Act of Parliament as 11;.ble rodonhle toll. The proprietor of the cart contended that it teal the same female and her baggage which he had in the morning, and wide!' he again had in the evening as his whole load, and that in the int. rim he hail made no alteration in, or addition to, her person or her load, and consequently was not liable either for double toll or penalty which the Act of Parlia. ment might prescribe; nor could he in this case be made accountable for what others might have done. The Judges at the Petty Sessions sustained the defence of the owner 01 the cart. Yrons that decision the road trastres appealed to the Quarter Sessions, the judges of which sustained the decision of the inferior Court, upon the princi ple, we be lieve, that any trifling addition to, or alteration in, the bags gage or the person of a female, in such Oases, could not, and nevar was contemplated that it should. come within the scope and meaning of the Act of Parliament, which was not made to pry into or take strict cognizances of fe male secrets or country girls coming to markets.—(Caledo , aims Mercury.) A few days ago a female weaver in Perth received a let ter from a professed admirer, a tailor in Aberdeen, inviting her to meet him in Abroath•, whence he was to take her to ' his home, and there get married. " Hope t o ld a fl a tterin g ' tale." tta:gardless of the entreaties of her friends, the maid en kept the appointments bet the tailor proved false, and she was disconsolate. Now mark the kindness of Cupid: sew was recognised and accosted by an itinerant book tender, of Perth, who was nO piloted at her forlorn situ ation, that forgetting a prior engagement of his own, hr took her along with him to Montrose, whets they got mar ' tied on Monday. and the tailor wears the Willow.—(Dun eke Advertiser.) -.•0.. _.........= rTS: • - :',VAU,XHALL GARDENS. Last night the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day teas celebrated at these Gardens with • Fete, which, in point of variety and magnifi cenee , f ar excee ded any 'tl;at has been given during the present season. The weather was ;leen hotly General& for the interesting display, and at an early hoar the different approaches to the Gardens were crowded with respectable company pressing for admission.. Apten o'clock the number assembled could not have been less they ten thousand pers•ons, many of whom appeared of a supeiior order. Among the distinguished strangers present, was observed the German Prince of Lippe, Mr. Henry Hunt also exhibited himself in the train of fashion, with two la dies, each of whom was attired quite in the Parisian mode. The trees and the various structeres appropriated to the purpose displayed en immense profusion of extra lamps, all tastefully disposed and lighted lit variegated splendour. Oa the south side of thebrehestra, the words " Long Life to our Patron, the King," were exhibited in vivid lamps, and in the Rotunda was seen a bust of his Majesty, surrounded with laurel wreaths, encircling the Royal Arms and tuot.o. Theother devices and decorations were splendid and appro priate; but a Musical Temple, the sante structure which under the name of Panathenm has been for a long time ex hibited in Spring Gardens, was particularly admirril. The fireworks passed off with all their wonted eclat; and it may fairly be said, that the gay, animated Vauxhall was never seen to more advantage than last night. WILL OF THE LATE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY. The will of the late m.st Honourable James Marquess of Salisbury was proved, with two codicils, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. on the 3thl: ult. by the most Hon.

Yesterday was the anniversory of his Majesty's natal day, which was not observed as a national day of rejoicing, it being observed as a festival by cote:nand on the 211 of April. The King, however. received the congratulations of the day, from a private circle of the nubility anti persons of distinction. The King's pages and souse of the principal domestics had an entertaiament upon the occasion. which concluded with a Bell, to which some of Pages soil the principal domestics of his Majesty's Royal relatives were invited. Those now in waiting at the Nine's Palace, Pall Mall, hada dinner party on the ocCasion.—(CottriCirearlar.) gt Lord Holland entertained a distinguished party to diuuer yesterday, at Holland House.
