My letter of yesterday contained an account of the arrival and embarkation of his MAJESTY at this place. In descending from the .platform to Atha barge, his M AJESTY too k t h e arm o f Sir C. Patattf;:' the Commodore, and heartily .shook him by the' hand. Sir CHARLES then had the honour of steer. ing the barge to the Royal George yacht, which, in consequence of she weather. having been coot& dered unfavourable for his MAJESTY to reach at Spithead, had been brought into the harbour and moored there. At hult-past eight o'clock the KING sat down to dinner on board the Royal George, at which Lord Gariews, Sir HtEastoYE TURNER, Sir EDMUND NAGLE, Colonel THORN TON, Slid Sir CHARLES PAGET, had the hooour to be present. The facility of reaching the yacht, from the circumstance of her being moored so near the shore, offered an inducer/rem to many who were anxious to obtain a sight of the KtNet, of which great numbers availed themselves. Soon after his MAJESTY arrived ou board, a tunnber of boasts, in which were rich dressed females, repaired to the yacht, cud continued around her until ten o'clock. During his NIAJESTY'A dinner, the individuals in the boats were afforded an opportunity of being gratified by a sight of the Sovereign through the windows of the cabin. and after dinner, at intervals, with that gracious c on d escens i on wh i ch d i st i ogeishes him, the Kano shelved himself on deck, and ac knowledged, by bowing to those around, the en thusiastic greetings which awaited him at each appearance. Ilia MAJESTY quitted the deck, and retired to rest at ten o'clock. This morning the yacht got under weigh, and proceeded out of the harbour at lialf.pest eight o'clock. lo her progress to Spithead she was saluted by the guns of the Platform Battery and Fort Monckton, and by the ships in the harbour and at Spithead, decorated in their colours sod with the yards manned. As soon as the Royal George passed through Spithead, the signal was given for the squadron appointed to attend the KING to follow, when the whole got under weigh at the same time, and proceeded with the yacht to Cowes. It consisted of— Tbe Royal George yacht, Commodore Sir C. Paget. Royal Sovereign yacht. Captain Adam. Liffry frigate, Hun. Capon* Duncan. Active frigate, Sir J. Cordou. Hind sloop. Sir Charles Burrard. Lee brig, Captain Blacker. Cameleon brig, Captain Nippy. iVolf brit, Csptaio Vega's*. Starling cutter, Lientegast Reeves. Emerald yacht, tender to the Royal George.

With numerous others belonging to the Yacht Club, „forming a gay summer squadron. • It is understood the KING will anchor at Cowes this evening, and, if the wind be favourable, will proceed to-morrow morning for Ireland. Our naval and military Commanders in Chief dine with the KING at Cowes to-day. The KING will return here from Ireland. • DUBLIN, JULY 30. We learn, with °lnch satisfaction. that subscrip. tions to a considerable amount have been already set down for the testimonial in honour of his Ma jesty's visit to this country.

VENTILATION OF COVENT•GAIDEN THZATRI. —The attractions of this place of amusement have been considerably increased within the last few nights, in consequence of the excellent manner in which it has been ventilated. The theatre is per fectly free from that unpleasant and close smell ex perienced on entering other crowded assemblies, and it is surprisingly cool, considering the state of the weather and the numbers who frequent it.— Without some adequate arrangement of this kind, few amusements can compensate for the incon venience experienced in a heated and vitiated atmosphere. The temperature of the House of Lords has been frequently uu to 900, and the [louse of Corunions has baffled every attempt hitherto made to ventilate it. The Courts of Law, too, are intolerably close and oppressive. Covent garden theatre has now a constant current of air passing through ever . ) , part, and its temperature is, even on the most crowded nights, not higher than summer heat. The following tragi-comic paragraph appears in a Paris paper of Sit Delay : " On Thursday some boatmen took a man out of the Seiue, who had thrown himself in from the Pont-au-Change. Ou conveying him to the Corp* de Garde, they succeeded in re covering him. He was no sooner restored than he assured the Commissary of Police very seriously, that as soon as be WWI free he should take the Arst opportitnity of drowning himself. The Commissary proposed to hinito sign a decla ration of his intention he destroy himself, and to which the map readily ■greed At this juncture a female arrived, loudly screaming, •Mu husband, I will see my husband!'

All the barriers to the several approaches, and the posts and rails which marked the avenues to the serious routes laid down for the visitors of different descriptions on the day of the ceremony, have been taken away ; the grand platform sloag which the proces sion passed from the north door of Westminster Hall to the western entrance of the Abbey, has been entirely removed ; the Champion's stable has Wholly disappeared; the temporary covered way, which formed the passag e tar the Princ esses and .

Yeeterdey Wardmote of the Inhabitants of die Ward of Cheap Was held at the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry, Cateatou-street, for the purpose of electing a fit and proper person to serve the office of Alderman, in the room of Richard Rothwell, Eeq. deceased. The Wardmote was most numerously and respectably attended. The precept having beta read, the LORD MAYOR opened the business of the day ia a neat and appropriate speech, in which he lamented the occasion, and he paid a tribute of respect to their deceased Alderman, in whose death the - Ward bad doubtless sustained a severe loss, which it was that day's duty to endeavour, if pos. Able, to supply. Mrs BURT then proposed William Thompson, Begs-Citizen and Ironmonger. as a fit and proper person to nerve the office of Alderman, which, the speaker said shortly, he had no doubt, the Gentle man he proposed would fill to the setisfection of the whole Ward. Mr. Bowen seconded the nomination. A pause took place, during which no one came forward to propose any other Candidate. The LORD MAYOR then took the show of hands, and declared Williaui Thompson, Esq. Citizen and Ironmonger, to be duly and unani mously elected. • • Mr. THOMPSON came forward, and said it became his duty to return thanks to the inhabitants of the Ward who had so highly honoured lulu by their unanimously electing him to preside over them. Mr. JAMES rose to move an expression of the Ward to the memory of their deceased Alderman, nod in doing so, called to their recollection that he had the honour to propose him to them on the death of Alderman Goodbehere in 1818. and took a retrospective review of the career of the late Alder man since that time, and said, he did not hesitate to attribute his premature and lamented death to the zeal and ardour with which he had executed the arduous and difficult duties of the office. Mr. BROOKS seconded the resolution., which were put in their original form and carried unani mously. They were then ordered to be printed in the morning and evening papers, and circulated in the Ward, in he fairly transcribed and presented to Thorns. Rothwell, Esti.
