His Majesty ar►ived here last night, about half past six, and dined on boird his yacht. A large party dined with his Majesty. This morning, at half-past two, the signal was made, and shit 'royal squadron got under weigh for Ireland. He was accompanied by an immense number of yachts. The whole were soon out of sight. Lord Craven's yacht, the Louisa, is the only yacht remaining here. His Lordship dined on board the royal yacht. The Doris sailed this morning for Rio Janeiro; she calls at Plymouth. The Camel, with Booaparte's suite on board, is waiting orders. (ExTR♦CT or ♦ PRITATR LETTBR.) "PLYNOUTIE, TUESDAY, JULY 31. " A letter has been received by a Gentleman in this neighbourhood, from Admiral Lord A. Beau cleik, at Portsmouth, stating that the Kiug might be expected to honour this port with a visit in the course of the present week. His Lordship at the time of writing, was about to embark in one of the Royal yachts, for the purpose of running up to Brighton, to attend his Majesty on his contem plated cruise. A oew Royal Standard has been just leaned from a storehouse in the dock-yard, to be hoijted oq_ the Breakwater. ft is con fidently rumoured that the King, by this time, is actually afloat. From the prevalence of westerly winds at this season, his Majesty will probably have to beat down the Channel. In that case the Royal squadron must not be expected until the end of the week."

RADCLIFF. CAST LECOOT E, ( From the Dublin Patriot.) The preparations making for the reception of the King are going forward wit'► all the alacrity and anxious care that such an olvasion requires; mid we ran state, positively, that George John, Lord Forbes, son of the Earl of Granard, and one of his Ma jesty's Aides-de-Camp, to whose direction several very important matters connected with the royal vi►it base been committed, has received orders to be in readiness by Friday next (the 3d instant), for the arrival of his Majesty. At the same time, we must state, that his Majesty is not expected before Monday next (the Gth instant) in Dublin. His Majesty will remain in Anglesea two days, in order that the necessary arrangements for his Freels. Lion may be made. It is now limier discussion, whether it shall be mo.t desirable to consult his Majeety's ease, by avoiding all the ceremonies at tendant on a public entry into Dublin, or whether the reception shall be such as the glorious oc casion ■nd the honour conferred upon the nation by the august presence of its beloved Sovereign sug gests. We believe we can state that the personal wi s hes of his Majesty inzliue to as private a recep tion as may be consistent with his Majesty's dig !lily and the nation's gratitude. The ceremony of the presentation of the State Saord, by the Lcrd Mayor, the presentation of the Keys of the City, &e. cannot, however, it is thought, to got over. A number of Noblemen and Gentlemen of dis tinction isitrild proereilii:g forthwith to Holyhead, to swell die trsin of the King, and to tither mid wel come hitn to their native land. For this purpose, pleasure boats and small vessels are in requisition, and in some cues very large sums have been paid for the latter. The dinner to be given by the University of Dublin to the King, v ill be one of the most Isidro- I did entertsintnents ever given in this kingdom. Dr. Hodgkinion, Dr. Lloyd, and Dr. Wilson, are the Fellows who have the conduct of it. The King will be received on this occasion in the Libraty, from which a covered way will be erected to the Theatre, or Fait, *here the dinner is to be laid.— The iiurolier s,f nersotir which this classic room is capable of accommodating is stated to us at about one hundred and fifty. A number of toms have been laid out at the Treasury, for such personages in the suite of the king, as these rooms can convenientiy ISCCOMITIO. ikite. They are now putting into order, and for rushing iu the best style for the purpose. Ge neral Sir 'l'. Ilaissmond, and four or five of his Majesty's Equerries will take up their residence here. —Num— A meeting of the Turf Club was held in Leinster street, on Monday, at which it was revolved— " That having n o w t erry r eas o n to raped that Isis Ma jesty will be swot erseioasty pleased to honour the Corral/1i wills his presence during the Royal Visit to this couutry. the Noblemen and Geutlenieu of the Turf Club do avail ilea. ochre, at this opportuuity to manifest lbw warmest feelings of loyal attachment to his august person. "That, in order to mark their gratitude and sense of this tl ""*lioraished honour about to he conferred on then., every esertton be made to render his Majesty's reception so sellable to he. station and dignity as their means and anxious endeavours RATH ot, ina Alit a eolnanitlee be appointed fur carrying that t urpose into erect." It was further resolved— . "That the First Autumn Sleeting Usually held in the middle of September, .shall he altered. awl shall commence on the Monday of whatever week his Majesty may vouch safe in signify Isis intention to hisnour the Turf Club wiih his august presence. " That the Meeting so Uttered shall fur ever be denomi nated the Royal Meeting, and shall continence un the Mon day after the anniversary of the. aaspieiosils day which shall coafer on a considerable body of the most loyal, the most attached, and the must devoted subjects, the d,stiaguislied humour and bappitiesia of beholding their illustrious and re vered Monarch amongst them. And " That the Snit Race at the Royal Meeting shall for ever be the Royal Stakes, of One Hundred Guineas, half forfeit, to be handicapped by the Stewards, to which the Turf Club Fond shall add a Purse of Three Hundred Guineas ; and that these Stakes shall be ran for over a Course which shall be ea elusively dedicated to his Majesty, and be denominated the Royal Course." CONCILIATION DINNER AT THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. •••• Yt sterday an adjourned meeting of the Nobility, Gentry. and Citizens of Dublin, was held at the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements, and naming the Steward., for the Public Dinner, to be given in honour of Ins Majesty's Coronation. At a go/trier before four o'clock the Lord Mayor took the Chair. Mr. William Digges Latonche. as Secretary to the meeting, having read the Requisition, Mr. James Conolly moved, that a Public Dinner should be given on Wednesday, the first day of August next, at Morrison's, Dawson -street, in celebration of his Majesty's Coronation. This Resolution was seconded by Mr. O'Con nell, and on being put trout the Chair, was carried unanimously. Mr Lawless (of Belfast) said, that he gave his Lordship full credit for having conceded much for the attaining of general unanimity amongst all cl of his fellow-citizens; still be thought that something more was necessary. lie (Mr. Lawless) would propose, that iu order to extend the feeling of unanimity ihr . pughout all Ireland, it should not be a dinner given by the citizens of Dublin alone, but a dinner of Irishmen, at which the Premier Peer of Ireland, the Duke of Leinster, should preside, and the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor should act as Vice- President. Here there were loud cries of No! Ito! Mr. O'Connell said, that the Lord Mayor, as Chief Magistrate of the city, should hold the first place at the dinner; that it was his as a matter of right, and that the dinner was to be given by the citizens of Dublin.—(Cries of hear, Gear! ) The Lord Mayor said, that he could never con sent to compromise the dignity of the station in which the kindness of his fellow-citizens had placed him. Mr. IV:Mem Murphy then moved, that thirty Stewards should be appointed, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the dinner; fifteen to be Prostents, and fifteen Catholics. This resolution was seconded by Alderman Archer, and, on bring put from the Chair, carried unanimously. The lion. Mr. Le I'oER Taawcst then moved, that an invitation should be *eat to the Earl of Fingal, requesting his Lordship to act av Vice- President on the occasion. This Resolution was also carried unanimously. Mr. Stine moved, that, in furtherance of the object which they all had in view, namely, unani mity, the Protestant Gentlemen to he selected as stewards should be named by the Catholics, and the Catholic Gentlemen by the Protestants. Carried unanimously. Mr. O'Gorman then read the following names of Protestant Gentleman, as those who laid been se lected by the Catholics : Alderman Shaw, M.P., Thomas Ellie, M.P., Alderman M'ienny, lion. Capt. Stanhope, Mr. William Humphries, flow W. Le Pocr Trench, Sir William Simmer, James Grat tan, M.P., Alderman Cash, Mr. Arthur Guineas, Alderman James, Alderman Archer, Mr. Peter Surrowes, Mr. William Dirp Latouche, and Mr. Thomas Wilson. The question was then put from the Chair, that the above 'limed Gentlemen should act as Stewards, which was carried unanimously. Alderman Archer moved, that the following Catholic Gentlemen should also act Hs Stewards : Sir FAlward Bellew, Bart , Sir Thos. Estaoode, Bart., Mr. James Connolly, Mr. William Murphy, Mr. Nicholas Moinin, Mr. Thomas M‘Dounell, Mr. Thomas Sherlock, Mr. D. O'Connell, Counsellor Fiun, Mr. Val. O'Conntw, CounselSor Shell, Coeliacllor DGurcnnta, Mr. Joseph Plunket Mr. Ed ward Moore, Mr. James Farrell, and Mr. Jonathan Lywch. Called unanimously. li having been ascertained that there was one more name to the last list than to the former, it was snored and seconded, that Mr. Richard Millikin's name should be added to the former. Mr. O'CON N EEL congratulated the Meeting and the country on the harmony which had now been so happily completed—he looked upon this day as most auspicious, and trusted that no unhallowed hand would, at auy future time, attempt to disunite the people of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.)—The ex ample of the metropolis would, he hoped, be fol lowed in the provinces. He concluded a concise and animated address by moving, that ■n Anniver sary Dinner should henceforward be held on as near day as convenient to the 19th of April, being the day appointed for the celebration of his Majesty's Birth-day. This Resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. Wm. Diggev Latouche here mentioned, that it would be well to adopt some Resolution to the effect that no toasts should be permitted except such as would come from the Chair. Mr. O'Connell said that it would be totally un necessary, as the selection of toasts would form a part of the duty of the Stewards. The Lord Mayor then mentioned that he had bad an interview with his Majesty's intimate friend, Sir Benjamin Blomefield, who had arrived in Dublin the day preceding, and he would feel happy by the ineeting empowering him to wait on Sir Benjamin Blomefield with an invitation to the dinner. A Resolution to this effect was put and carried nu: rowdy. The Meeting was the most nume►ous and respect able of any that we ever witnessed ; the most per fect unanimity :u►d good order prevailed. Mr. Shaw, now Sir Robert, and Company, a►e, we understand, to be the King's bankers, during his Alaje,t's stay in Ireland. ~~ r • .:1111,1yr4 EXHIBITION OF MR. MARTIN'S PICTURE., 313, Strand, Curuer of Catherine street. The magnificent paintings of Debhatear'e Feast, mid Joshua, will continue to be exhibited but a very short tilos longer, as Mr. Commis, the munificent proprietor, has re ceived an invitation (ruin the Society of Liverpool to display them in the large ion, of their Institution, which invitation be has accepted, std the pictures will be packed for that purpose in about a fortnight. They are also to be exhibited in Dublin, so that some of the most enlightened parts of the empire will have these great and laborious works brought for inspection to their own doors. The provincial connois seurs will be as much puzzled as those of the metropolis to determine which piece claims pre-emitieuce is all particu lars. Belshazzar's Feast is. higher stretch of art in colour. ing, grouping, architectural perspective, historical and esti quarian detail ; but there is a powerful simplicity in the de sign of Joshua—a sublime boldness in the execution--a comprehensive unity of purpose connecting an infinite di versity of maul incident.. The compiler of the catalogue has set out Briskest's:is Feast as a well-organised drama, said has very happily detected in its principles and combine. (ions the resemblances to the beeinnieg, unfolding, and catastrophe, which are requisite to that class of poeMs. The writer, who is evidently an ingenious matt, and con versant with the code which direst* elassic literature, would have been equally happy bad be applied the roles of the epic to the distribution of the parte in Joshua. Mr. MARTIN, whether he intended it or nut, has wrought the painting with a conformity to the spirit of the Greek pre cepts on that subject which is truly admirable. The Iliad has scarcely left more cogent annals of the war which is there brought to a termination, than those of the action which Mr. MARTIN has incorporated with the display of the inspired prowess of his warrior prophet. The representation of the strife and Algid of the Amorites in the left fore-ground, with the hail-storm and the awfully perplexed obscurity of the landscape—the swelling of rivers, and the impetuous over flooding of cataracts—see descriptioos to which few psosages in any poetry can rise up. As the exhibition is so near a tem porary close, we may venture to express a hope on the next occasion the pictures will be sheen in rooms more spacious, and in all respects more worthy of the profurion of art sad ingenuity which they comprise. ~~ " g Mr‘ tw • A SLAP AT SLOP. Mr. Hone's long promised political squib, under the above title, has at length made its appearance, and an exquisite morceau it will be found. It is in the form of an ordinary newspaper. Its contents cousist uf an amazing weather and variety of parodies on every species of article usually found in a daily paper, incisding advertisements, puffs, and para graphs of every descriptiou, poetry, biography, literary essays, and every other description of fugitive composition. Many of these are illustrated and embellished with wood cuts of humorous and satirical caricature designs from drawings by Mr. Crnikaiiank, and are worthy of his fame. Of these some idea may be formed (rum the following description of some of the principal ones:—" The Damnable A *social ion, or the Infernal Inquisition of Blackfriars. A n interior view of the Den in Bridge-si►eet, milk the Gang at work." Tine print is divided into three compartments: one presenting • view of an auto da . fe, or a burnt offering, to the power and influence of the Crows, of such political publicatious as have excited the particular attention of a certain society, in which its leading sabseribets ante officers are represented as assisting; a second exhibits three of the most zealous agents of the Society busily engaged in the destruc tion of a printing prep; and the third pourtrays Li berty suspended and Truth on the rack. Another draw ing, prefixed to a parody on Southey's Vision of Judg ment, represents the apotheosis of a remarkable per sonage as Apollo, grotesquely striking • lyre, and rest log in his elevatiou on one toe, pointed upon the erect wooden limb of a certain officer of the Bridge-street Amu eistion, who has fallen backwards iuto a slop pail. Before this figure is the poet, habited as a Court fool, with a bull of sack suspended from his neck as as organ, and singing " Apollo', Praise." A third drawing called "Jack is the Green" is a caricature of a recent gorgeous ceremony, which is represented as a May-day dance of chimney sweep ers round the "Jack is the Green," the parts being sus tained by the principal personages who assisted at the ceremonial. There sue also several smaller ones of which it will suffice to mention—" The New Indian Juggler"— a great Captain forcing his sword down the throat of Britannia.

VAUXHALL.—The splendid Masquerade which will take place on Monday next at these Gardens, has caused as unusual aensatioa among all ranks of people, ou many years having elapsed since any thing of the sort has occurred (except the one on the 23d of last month, and then the weather was vatevoarabie), that the bustle for dresses and tickets is actually unprecedented is all the annals of masquerading. It is also a fact that the principal printsel lees at the west end of the tows have not bad a port-folio con taiaing costume is their houses one boar for this week past. We bate already heard of several hundreds of most whimsi cal characters that are to appear there, but we shall avoid noticing them until after the fete. The Papers contain contradictory accounts of the Vice-Regal Lodge in the Phoenix I'ark, near Dub lin. Some assert it is made of brick, others of stone. The following extract from Whilelaw's History of Dublin may set the question at rest : "The Vice. Regal Lodge was originally built by Mr. Clements, from whom it was purchased. It was a plain structure of brick. In 1802, Lord Hardwicke made the first important improvement, by adding the wings, in uue of which is the great dining-ball. In 1808, the Duke of Richmond added the north portico, a structure of the Doric order, end the lodges by which the demesne is entered on the side of Dublin. But the must strikiug addition to the building is the north front, added by Lord Whitworth. This is ornamented with a pediment, supported by four Jessie pillars of Purtlaad *tone, from a details of Jolinsoes. The whole facade has been new faced to torreepond with the portico, Bud it now steads a fair architectural °raiment iu the Pak--a residence befittiNg a Viceroy. The temperature of the air was one degree lower on the longest day of 1841, in London, thau on the shortest dry of the preceding year.

As deism (he observed) of the greatest enormity, as it leaded to de. feet the ends of justice, by falsely accusing the innocent, or of sereeniag the guilty by a corrupt bribe.

Knowing the character and situation of the above poor women, and all the circumstances of the case, 1 have miller taken to receive subscriptions to reimburse them the loss they sustained, sod also the expense of the prosecution, and under the peculiar and distressing circumstances of the ease, allow me to state, through the medium of your Journal, that these pour women had pawned their clothes, and one of them her bed, to raise the money extorted by the said officers, and they were unable to proceed with the indictment when Mr. Burgess kindly advanced the money out of lon pocket ; in deed Mrs. Hewlett, had not • bed to sleep ou when she attended the Sessions, and such has been her distress that I have found it necessary recently to advance a trifling sem for her present necessities.

Mr. SHADwELL stated, this was an application On the behalf of the Defendants, culling on Li; Lordship to discharge an order of his Honour the Vice•Chsncellor. It was a bill filed by the Plain tiff, a native of France, against Thelluson, ;hers, and Co. bookers, in this country, to account for three millions of dollars, sent by the Plinisliff to them from Paris in the year 1803, to dispose of, 11,;" rutintry being at that time at war with France. ft was admitted that in the year 1804. Lord Reiiille shain was a partner in the house of Thelluson, Brothers. and Co. hut that he ceased to be so in illecember 1804. It appeared that the Pleinliff hail sent a quantity of dollars in the year Pio/ , n Thelluson's house, but it was a specuiatioli did not torts out to the odiadtage of either of tist• pieties ; however, it war continued in the year 1805. , The cause came en to be heard be fore the Vice-Chancellor, ■nd he made a de cree, and directed a reference to the Master, to inquire and report whether Lord Rendlesham was a partner of the firm of Thelluson; Brother., and Co. after the year 1804. the effect of winclp was to v ie try to make Lord Renelleshani7s estate aineneble for the debt due by the house of Thelluson to th e Plaintiff. The Defendants appealed from that de cree to his Lordship, after which the Plaintiff Went before the Master, and insisted that the Master was hound by the decree of his Honour to inquire, 1. though Lord Rendlesham might have ceased to have been a partner in the house of Thelluson, Bro thers, and Co. at the end of 1804 to the worlit, yet whether he did not continue a partner for the pur poses of this t►ansai:tion. The Master was of nion that he could riot enter into that inquiry under the decree as it wai drawn up. A pithrinton was then made by the Plaintiff to the Vice-Chancellor to alter the decree. His Honour thought lie could not alter it on motion, sod directed a short petition to be presented far the purpose of re-hearing tb!t cause, which Was accordingly done, and his Hoiiour altered the decree, letting in the inquiry as yokel fin by the Plaintiff. He, the Learned Coulocl, contended that his Honour had uo jurisdiction alter his original decree, when an appeal was mad from it to his Lordship; fur when that step once taken, his Honour ceased to have any pow e r over the caws. Under these circumstances, he had no doubt but his Lordship mini(' discharge the amended order of the Vice-Chancellor. 1 r Mr. ILturnar, Catmeel for the Plaintiff, con tended that the amendment of his Honour was a mere verbal one, and could not interfere with the settled practice of the Court, us it did not go to alter the tenour of the decree. Tlw directions given by the house of Thehasn't in the year 1805, were precisely the same as iii 1804, when it was ad mitted that Lord Rtndlesham was a partner; it we* signed for The Huron, Brothers, and Co. ; therefore the inquiry before the Master was nece►sary, and there could be no doubt but his Honour had the jurisdiction to make the alteration. 'There had been a trial at law, and a verdict obtained. The LORD CHANCRLLOR" What became of the traitoious correspondence when it was beforertLe Court hi low ?" • • Mr. SHADWELL said lie did not know, hut the fact was, that there had been a trial in the Court of King's Bench, and a verdict given for the Plaintiff; a new trial had heen moved fur on the ground of the mirdirectioto of the Judge to the Jury. The Chief Justice, whom it was tried before, had the candour to tell the Court that be found he had b e en mistaken in the law of the case, and a hew trial was granted, which had not since been brought to issue. ' ~~1 The LORD CHANCELLOR•-..`• it is impossible, ac cording to the practice of this Court, that tl.e Judge 4811 inferior branch of it can alter his iir cree after an appeal is lodged from it to the Judge at the head of the Court. For instance, the Vice- Chancellor, according to the Act of listlittineia, can only hear such things as he is directed by the Lord Chancellor. The Master of the Hulls rm, hear any thing without that direction, but he not alter an order of the Lord Chancellor or his own decree after an appeal from it. See what in parable mischief would occur if eit her Judge kut t jurisdiction; every alteration of theirs would try 11111• a new appeal.

It is the duty of the Judge .it the head of the Court, not. to allow the practice of it to suffer any innovation.

If it had come before me 1 would • have told the Master so. Therefore the alter.atiou ft; . made in the decree by the Vice-Chancellor must trir go for nothing, alit neverouglit to have been made:' Motion granted.

Thuiaday the East India Company's regiment. consisting of upwards of 700 mere, under the com mand of Colonel AITELL, had a grand held day in the London Fields, Hackney, in the presence of several military officers, who expressed great plea sure at their military appearance and the exactness of their evolutions.
