Fe re AT TSI TOWN HALL, %Yrrensea.—The anni versary of his Majesty's commencing Ida residence at 11 - :ralior Castle, was celebrated on Friday by a fkll and Sspper at the Town Hall. The floor of this spacious apartment was elegantly chalked with a cumber of appro priate EL:vie. s. and the Con:tell Chamber was fitted up as a temporary baniceting room. About ten o'clock the ft:divides eoinmenectl, and were continiieti with the c reates: spid i uguil day break.

The IVakeqelrl Musical Festival, which concluded on Friday, was not suciessful. The proceeds are not likely toper the exparavt, it is said, by 10111 C hundreds of pounds. The attendance in the church was very good, but at the concerts it was slender—the saloon was generally not more thin three-gnarte-. full, and in the court-house the au dirmee did not taco d one hundred nightly. ANECDIT, Or THY AIAROVIS Or t.aarry.—Every person who has ever beard or read of the eraploits of the late elfarc l uis of Granby, knows that his expenditure was =at profuse, and his charities almost without limits. In riding along the lines of the British forces, when he was in the chief command of them on the Continent, he used to throw down ducats to every soldier's wife who asked him for them, without discrimination. Ile not only on these °erasion' --,vent all the money he had about his own moon, but null to horrow promiscuously of every membe r . of his wit who hativeneilio be Dear him. Ilia Lordship a genereut heart could-not bear to keep a person who h a t! asked charity of him a single iuitant bf twopence, and hem consequence drew so lavishly on the pockets of his staf£ borrowin7, of them ToJustity, that be used to forget from trhrea be bad remised these momentary loans ; that they end to find it convenient either to accompany their Gene ral with, in tit.: true tense of the word, " a soldier's Pocket," et make , onte excuse, as Mum as pcssible, not to at-cwri him on hie mowing rides throorrh the lints. On • - •ne of these eccavions, ■ sudden fit of econerny seized the Marquis, and on the fist soldier's Wife begging of hint that rooming, he pullet out a ducat from his pocket, and it.sherl hs Aid-de-Camp, Captain Cartwright, to •,rocure ht.!: silver fur :t.

As semi as the Aid-de-Camp had brought the change, he gave it to lids General, who was then in conversation with the woman, hearing her tale of 1 sr e.

DUBLIN, FaipAr, Orr. I. Into* ore coantsroirunwr.] Toe Lord l'ifsvor's dinner, which took place yesterday, bad little to distinguish it, except a very niggardly numb* of invitations, a very thin attendance of respectable persons, and some very drunken misconduct on the part of the vartaike of the Corporation, towards the close of the civic cm:vain:nem There was "a beggarly accour.t of empty" tables in a large room which was fitted up on the occasion of the King's visit, for the purpose of giving a suitable re ception to his Majesty. The Marquis Wellesley honoured the Lord Mayor with his pretence. His Excellency looked in very good health, and returned thanks, when his health and that of the illustrious members cf his family were given, with all that animated energy of which his l'ar liamentary style of speaking is so characteristic. At in early part of the, entertainment his Lordship bad touch recil of all his smiled fire, in supporting the Sovereign, of whose sentiments in thia country he is truly the repre sentatilv. The Kin,7's health was proposed from the chair : the announcement fell coldly upon the car of the assembly. The Corporation—tire f0i..1 Corporation of Dublin (as the Marquis Wclieidev, with happy s arcasm, termed them in a subsequent part of the evening), seemed disposed to let the toast pass without ant der.mstration of respect; the Noble Lord fere from his elm' is, and cheered the toast with loud and emphatic. approbation, which provoked an involuntary roponse from the sluggish spirits that surrounded Win. The Duke of York's health was received with boisterous acclamation, which is attribuvable to the eircurr.stanee of his being s supposed patron of the Orange institutions in this country. So touch far Dublin loyalty ! A few ;cr. sons of mean app.nrance, who sat in an obscure corner of the room, hirred Mr. Plunkett, when the health of that Right lion. Gentleman was proposed. To be ante, when one gees into bad company, one rens: not be eurpriscil at any misbehaviour one etperiences. Mr, Plunkett seemed pre pared for it, by treating with contemptuous, indqmatien this ill•bred manifestation of feeling, which wis silenced by the applaeses of the 'inajorit v, and themes: respectable por tion of the assembly. The MarqUis IVellesley emphatically' joined in the warm expression, of approbation with which Mr. Plunkett's !math was received. plaster Ellis made a very vehement speech : he declared himself favourable to f conciliation. _ _ _ After Lord Wellesley and suite retired, at eleven o'clock —after all the respectable and so ' er part of the company had withdrawn—and after all the wine which the frugality of 'the Lord MaYor supplied had been drank...-tut effort bus made ':y a Mr. Simpkins, or a Mr. Sutter (I forget v Lich), to propose the " Glorious and immortal Meinory : " Several of the company refused to drink it without vane. The Lord Maser did not hear anything as to a fresh supply, but said he would not be dictated to. A drunken (filets:. sion followed, ft which all the lar.guagi a spoken at the building of Babel were called into requisition • and at two or three o'clock in she marring, through the po'severing obstreperousness of Sheriff Warren (who, by the by, was one of the celebrated Dublin jury relative to the throwing of the bottle). the toast was given, but, owing to a want of wine, was not drank. This day there was a rumrnr of a subscription for a service of plate to the Late Lord Mayor, for his efficient discharge of his duties. It is also stated that the henour of knighthood is to be conferred upon him, and that he's to be appointed a chief tragistrate of police under the new Constabulary Act. HATI7CING. A eery interesting exhibitian of this species of amuse ment (which in the olden time was so favourite a sport in England). took place on Thursday last in the neiglebeur hood of Amesbury, aid was witnessed by a numerous field of sporting gentlemen, and others attracted by curiosity. The hawks, six in number, were remarkably large and fine young birds ; and their owner, Colonel Thornhill, directed the snort of he day, in the presence of Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Mills, and other gentler:en. The scarce of actien was an extensive field of turnips, in which it was known there was plenty of game. The Colonel's falconer and assistant brought the hawks to the field, hooded, perching upon a frame • the sprertrnen ' and spectators wore ranged outside the 11:1.1; a fine bird was then taken from the perch, unheeded, and permitted to fly. The hawk immediately towered, and hovered over the turrlip field with his eve intently bent upon the plants, in search of prey; he bc:at over the ground with evolutions rimilar to those of a pointer upon the ground. After a few minutes had elapsed, Colonel Thornhill directed some boys to cater the field for the purpose of disturbing the terds, and a partridge at length arose, which was instan tareously seen by the hawk, though at a great distance. The hawk darting after it, struck it to the earth, but the prwtridgerecovering, flew as it were for protection, amongst I the spectators ; here it was pursued by the relentless hawk and killed. The other hawks were severally let loose, and all Eat one of them killed a partridge each. Some were killed out of the sight of the spectators, and it is highly worthy of remark, that the hawks had been so well trained, that they invariably rewired to the fielcoruir at his call, and when out of his sight and hearing, he attracted them by throwing into the air a lure, something resembling a staffed partridge. The above extibition afford:lla most gratifyingspecimen of this anclent and very curious sport. Great improvements are going on :n and about the Metropolis, one of which is the enclosing, by a handsome iron railing, the triangular piece of ground in St. James's Park, near Spring-gardens. better known as the atode of the cows, and a place of distribution of milk to passengers. 'Cho passage from Spring-gardens has been fir.cly paved, and the iron gate removed. BLACLitIARII D::llDol.—The Lao Mayor yesterday signed a notice for stopping up the carriage way on Black. friars Bridge. from Monday next, for fourteen days. This is done to facilitate the lowerieg of the declivity of the Bridge. Enoressaar.—Some titre since a son of Apollo disap prared from his quarters at Brighton, and was accompanied by Miss M—, a young lady of considerable expectations and great personal beauty and secomplishinents. The e!opcment was not discovered for some time, owing to an impression made by certain documents left hi " my lady's , chamber," that she had a•t off on a visit to a distant friend. At the hire of two or three days, however, a letter was received at Brighton, bearing the Gretna Green post-mark, from which it appeared that the "distant friend" was no other than the good-natured blacksmith, whose kind of flers have been lauded by every Miss and Master from John o' Groats House to the Land's End. The knot was indissolubly tied, and the lady's family, in remembrance .of that bitter proverb—" what can't be cured must be en dured," wrote a letter of forgiveness, and the happy couple, on returning to Brighton, beceivell an establishment suit able to the lady's previous rank in life. It is but justice to add, that no man in the musical profession was more de serving of so rich a prise; the best proof of which is, that he has won the entire esteem of his new relatives, and the utmost unanimity has succeeded to forced civilities since his character has unfolded itself to their more anxicee inspection. Cowes, Oc:. 2.—Notwithstanding the Regatta Season might he said to have drawn to a close, and many of the noble and spirited families of the Royal Yacht Club have ' withdrawn themselves for a while from this haven of gaiety and delight, to enjoy what might perhaps by seine be deemed the more substantial and permanent pleasures of their re spective native asylums, and immediate domestic circles, yet this highly-raven:red spot has still to boast of the pre. since of many distinguished and fashionable visitors, amonest whom we notice Lord and Lady Grantham, and the 'Misers Robinson ; Lerd and Lally Gower ; Lord G.

A >kw Seer .—A most extraordinary affair happened at Trent Foldridge, near Colne, on Tuesday se'linight. A sect has sprung out of the Joannallites, or floutheota ' rians, which has adopted the ancient Jewish rite of cir cutncisie'n. This sect having embraced and propagated its pentliarities with a seal worthy of a better cause, has made proselytes to its singular tenets; and several per sons have submitted to the rite. Tuesday was the clay ap pointed for the circumcision of a child whose father was a proselyte to the new sect ; the time fixed becoming known to the public, that curiosity which is ever on the alert for the marvelious became quite amused; hundreds, if not thousands, flocked to the appointed place. The mother of the ehiid opposed its submission to the rite, and a goodly nember of the crowd took her part ; the father, on the other band, with his partisans, insisted on his authority over the child, and that the rite should be performed on it. The opposition increased; the opposing parties became turbulent and violent ; the constable, and persons of influ ence in the neighbourhood, were called up to keep the peace. The poor child was almost pulled to pieces in the affray, which, however, terminated in its escaping the pain consequent on the performance of the ceremony, as the party which had joined the mother proved much too nu merous and powerful far their opponents.—Leeds 411er.-tiry.
