His Majesty or6ood at Slane Castle at loins o'clock yesterday. His drivers, by 'Astaire, took the great northern- road towards Drogheda: the error was discovered before they had travelled a mile, and they then returned, and reached their destination by the proper hone. The confident report or to-dsy is, that the Kirig will flh depart from Ireland before the Bth itf September. ,He will visit Lord Powerscourt on Friday, and spend , the tern succeeding days amidst the eochanting seeriery of the county of Wicklow. It is said that he was much disappointed. on visiting the Bonk, to Rod The splendid hall of the Cash-office occupied by galleries . fen the accommodation Of the curious, while not i clerk was seen at his desk. The King ' wished, it appears, to a-e the establishment in • fall operation, with all its officers it their respective poets, as in ordinary days of bobinese. HE it also reported to.leave• remarked the improper position of the throne, placed fur his reception in the ci devant House of Undo, sad which he could not occupy without turning his buck sport the statue of his Royal Father. it is also observed that he did not partake of any of the refreshments pre pared for him at thC Dublin Society House, which is attributed to the want of riper attendants to wait upon him at table. These ate the on dins of the tea.table, and I give them merely as such. On Sunday lan R. young Lady and her brother, who had come from Derry to see the Kiug, stationed themselves beneath the portico of the grand entrance to the Castle, through which his Majesty was about to pass towards his carriage. The sen tinels on that King's approach drove the crowd from the steps, with the exception of the young. Lady, r whom they had the gallantry to allow to keep her place on the lave of one of the pillars. One oldie Peers in attendance addressed the young Lady, sad said that he feared she had lost her com pany, whom he volunteered to look for. She thank ed his Lordship for his kindness, but replied that she would gladly undergo the momentary separa tion, if she should be permitted to retain her eta tier until the King passed. This the Nobleman politely guaranteed her. In a few minutes after ward, however, he presented himself to request permissiou to conduct her into the royal presence, which she, after s moment's difficulty, acceded to, and, being introduced, was saluted in the usual manner. On returning to her friends she declared, such was her embarrassment, that she had not the least idea of his Majesty's person or dress, The gentlemen of the cou n ty or Dublin met at the Exchange this day, sod appointed a Committee of nine to marshal all those who may accept of his Majesty's gracious permission to escort him to the bounds of the county, on his way to the Curragh, 04) Wednesday next. A meeting of the subscribers to the Testimonial in Commemoration of the royal visit, was likewise held at the same place, it two o'clock, but adjourned until Thursday next, without proceeding to any business. We perceived a determination on the part of a consi derable portion of the meeting, to oppose the nomination of Alderman Dsrley. if be should be proposed of the Committee fur carrying the objects of the subscribers into effect. It is now ascertain ed that that gentleman did give the obnoxious toast, of the "Glorious Memory," at the Mansion-house dinner, and the indignation of the Catholic body knows no bounds; They will, however, it is be. lieved, refrain from any official expression of their feelings, relying upon the protection of the King, and the .concilistory assurances of his Ministers, given a/encore in the same banqueting-hall scarcely so hour before. One salutary example made on this occasion would tend more to the total rostra- Out of the licensed faction, who have so often goaded the Irish people into intemperance, than the speeches and resolutions of years. THE CURRAGH. The preparations making fur the King's visit to the Ciarragh, are upou the most splendid and costly, stale of magnificence; the Gentlemen of the county of Dublin, are to form a Guard of Honour to escort his Majesty through their county, to the serge of the county Kildare, where he will be met by the Nobility and Gentry of that county, accompanied , by the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Turf Club,'witb his Grace the Duke of Leiester, at their heed,.who wifi•hltewise form his Guard to the Cur rag'', and attend his Majesty dining his stay there— a large and liberal subscription is raising, fro the pur pose of forming an encampment upon this immense plain, where the " bold peasantry" of the conti guous counties will be encamped, and we under stood the Committee, not satisfied with providing this immense multitude with comfortable clothing and entertaining them with good cheer, have not for got their more distressed fellow-entintrymen, but mean to release from prison a number of the poorest debtors its the neighbouriug gaols ; thus marking his Majesty'd visit to the Currugh by one of the noblest acts of munificence ever exhibited.

Brinekman, of the boys 2d battalion ; and Capt. Deteen, of the Pie- Wee, the guard-ship at the entrance of the riser leading to Stade. Mr. Calvert gave them a letter to the Hanoverian authorities, stating that it was the intention of the conductors of the funeral to dis eanbarkher late Majesty's remoras at Stade as early on Monday as the tide would permit. The Hallo eerier, agent at Cuxhaven instantly went ashore, in order to give the necessary information. ' the coffin being removed on board the Wye, ar .compartned by the Gannet, she sailed towards Stade, but the winding having slackened, .end the tide har ing been on the ebb, they were obliged to anchor at eight o'clock on Sunday evening. At three o'clock on Monday morning, the tide having flowed, and the wind- freshened, the anchor sensitised, and each of the ships sailed rapidly up the fiver, and at right o'clock they cast stichor again, near the mouth of the Schwingey, but the tide having been on the ebb, and the Schwingey not bring navigable at low water, an immediate re moval was rendered impossible. Sir G. Nayler, ' Mr. Calvert, and Mr. Bailey, then proceeded to Stade. They returned about four o'clock to the Wye, and soon sifter live o'clock the coffin was lowered into a boat belonging to the Wye. The boat was taken in tow be three other hosts, and they moved across the Elbe into the Schwingey, the Wye firing minute guns. A guard :f . honour, coesisting of marines, under the command of a marine Lieutenant of the Wye, stood around the coffin. In the same host were Sir George Nayler and Mr. Culvert, the Captains Fisher and Simpson, Dr. Ludiington, aiid the two undertakers, Messrs. Bailey and Cliitienden. The British flag, on the coffin bring placed in the boat, was immediately lowered half-mast high, and hav ing been taken two the boat wns suspended over the coffin. The bouts were rowed by half minute strokes of the oars up the Schwingey, and they were guided up that river by the bout of the Hallo 'erten guard-ship, with the Captain, dressed in mourning, on board. Thousands of persons covered the batiks of the narrow river. The Wye con tiitued to lire minute guns until the approach of the bouts to Slade became visible from the fort ; the Wye then ceased to- fire, and the Carmel com menced tiring minute gnus for half an hour. The Ilanoveriiiii guard-obip immediately after tired fur th e same time ; while the guns of the fortress aunounced to the inhabitants of Stade the approach 1 of the remains of their late Queen. _ 1 At the momeot the hosts of the British ships approached to the draw-bridge, the bells of the three churches of the town were tolled. The Bru tish boats approached to the stone stairs, the chief landiug-place of the town, where the undertakers' nien removed the coffin hom the boat, and having reached the top of the stairs, placed it on chairs ranged for that purpose. As it had been impossi ble, from tit! low tide, to convey the hearse from the Wye to the shore at no tarty hour in the day, it had not been prepared for the removal of the royal corpse on its landing; the procession to the church of St. Wallach, the most ancient church of the town, was therefore on foot. It may be necessary to state, that Stade i 4 a for tified town, and that a regular garrison is kept up there. The curniusndatit, Colonel Von liaroirlorl; and the chief military commander of the district, Major-Qeneral Berger, had issued ordeiv for the at tendance of the troops of the garrison on the solemn occasion of the reception of the corpse of their late Queen two days previous to the arrival of the royal body at Stade, and which orders weie followed as far ■s circutusta,ces allowed.

The church was crowded to excess, and after the 11110tIrlirri had retired, the anxiety of the people to approach the ••altar was so great, that a military guard became necesyry to represti them.

On the other baud, it appears that serious disturbances have taken piece in Candia.

Great activity prevails in the arsenals, the ship yards end the cannon founderies. &acrel gun b,.ats are stationed to the Channel.

The thirty live cnstom-boirses which have hitherto impeded the navi gation, both on the right and left, are reduced to fourteen on the whole stream, whirl, flows through the dominions of eight States, viz —ln Bohemia, Anesig and Niedergurod ; in the kingdom of Saxony, Selandau and &rents; at Muhtberg, the custom-house ors entering the Prospiao terri tory ; at Coowig, ffo:lse, and Dessau, in the three Priiiii paliiiev of Annolt—(there is good reason to Lope, that the three Princes of Anbolt will establish one joint custom house io lien of these three); at Wittenberg, the custom house, on leaving the Prussian territory; those in Mecklen burg are, Schuakenberg, Domitz, Bleakeele, and Roitzen. burg; sod, lastly, the Danish custom-house at tonenburg. The Julies wbieh have hitherto been so detrinseatal to trade and navigation enema only reduced, but fixed on an iovariable Principle, arid are never to be augmented without the consent of all the parties. Prodnets of internal industry and the chief necessaries of life (corn, wood, building materials, and fruit) air liable to very low duties. The former innumerable examination■ of the cargoes', and all the vexations and bribery of the upper and lower Officers of the Customs, are limited to the revision and verification of one Stole. All the arbitrary proceedings uf officers in taking the duties sod ex amining the cargoes are banished from the Elhe by judicious regulations. Many excellent measures for maintaining a suitable river police have been adopted to protect the honest shipper, and watch over the dishonest. Nu kinds of erec tion on the stream or banks injurious to the navigation are allowed, and wherever there is now any obstacle in the channel of the Elbe (especially in the Saxon part of the Upper Elbe.), it is to be instantly removed when the Co.. reation is carried into effect, and thereby the original and thief object of' all river tolls be more strictly attended to.— (Franybel Papers. August 18 ) THE BRITISH PRESS. • LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Auaurr Concurring accounts from Constantinople and other places assure us that the question of peace or war between Russia and the Porte toill rested at the departure of the latest advice, on the accept. aoce or refusal by the Porte of the ultimatum offered by the Court of Petershurgh. It it oho said that a day or two would decide this important point, upon which opinions were divided even in Constantinople. The substance of this presom. d whintatunt has been already presented to our reader.. Some of the terms speak the air of • conqutrp , dictating to a vanquished enemy, and certainly imply a belief on the part of Russia that the Turkish csmpire is utterly incapable of self-dercoee. Doubts, therefore, may very reasonably be enter tai..ed respecting the acquiescence of the Divan. The evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, sod the free navigation of the Dardanelles, are seven: conditions, owl might justify the belief that Russia had previously resolved upon war, from a convic tion that Turkey could not in honour accept of such an altetuative, even to purchase the blessings of peace. It is generally reported that Lord STRANGFORD possesses greet influence with the Divan, and front the consideration enjoyed by the Noble Lord, it is further believed that Great Britain has avcsvot . her detertnitiatiou not to concur ni the titv.s v: .N. le tip li.i XI op ob .ko Frei i. 411 glifil
