We near, that it is His Mans? *es intention to make some alteration in the ronal liveries, against h's birth-day. viz. The great coats ate to have blue capes and cuffs, ornamented with broad gold lace, instead of plain scarlet, as they now are. The footmen's riding jackets are likewise to be trim med with gold lace round the collars and cuffs, and some little alteration is to tike place in their frocks. We have always considered the dress coat and waistcoat 01 the footmen to be the richest in any Court of Europe. We would therefore have rather heard that an alteration was to have been made in their dresiobreeches, and cocked hats, which in this respea are certainly infinitely inferior to the liveries of the other branches of the ROYAL FA MIL Y. borringh or Honiton Mr. eoasotr, the I nsell so much in t ros's Adminiaratic Laely brolight an aft The rep , irts of the Sane say they have that they have put Int Momlay tw • Gent tended at the fureig France relative to ti boars opposite the 13 which diipatches wa Adnuraltv to Lotd I (r.

Hit M AJFIT Y repeatedly expressed his approbation of the Comedy to Her MAJESTY and the - Nobility in waiting, and honoured it with his plaudits They were received with the loudest acclamations of loy alty and affeftion. God Save the King was sung on their entrance, and Rule Brdnunin was loudly called for, and sung between the play and entertainment. On the departure of the ROYAL PARTY, God Pisa Me King was again sung by the performers, the whole house joining in chorus. The house was crowded to the extreme. On the opening of the doors, aU was confusion. The people in the pit were so oppressed by numbers, that it was a scene of tumult the whole night. The Royal. Fassit., never appeared to such advantage, not wore such a profusion of diamonds. His MAIIST9 was in regimentals.

Mr. REAVISIDE'r CONCERT. This Gentleman gave a grand Concert last n:ght, at his house in George -street, Hanover-square.— The favourite pieces were Peace to the .5004, by Messrs. Gone, LEANDIR, and Usti ; also the charming Gle's of Sappho by the same Gentlemen. We never heard it sung in a more finished style, particularly the contre tenor part by Mr. LLANDEK, Jun. Kamer Moist played a Concerto of Vtcryrt's upon the violin. A manuscript Trio for the horns and piano forte, by Messrs. MAJOR and the LZAn oess, was also among the charms of the night. BENEFIT CONCERT. On Monday evening, Mr. HART, an Amateur, mnch respected, and whose kindness to a ft iend had involved him in a considerable pecuniary loss, had the gratuitous assistance of a great number of the profession, at his benefit, at the Paul's Head Tavern. Among these, Miss ',scow ANT and Mr. SALL, jun. particularly distinguished themselves. The former sang, Anirls fret-4%0r and fair, in a finestyle; but became indisposed in the course of the evening, from the excessive heat. A Glee called The Cifratm , ng M, i,, and a l)uet called The Hutto*, both the composition of the latter, were much admired.— Master Kst.t.sx• •.ever acquitted himself to more advantage than in a charming ballad called The Oyster Girl, the composition of the Ron J. SPERCLR. The veteran BARTH i.i.rmote gratified the audience with one of Con Li L i's Sofa, on the violin. The whole was under the diredtinn of the Hon. JOHN Sgascan, who presided wi , h great ability at the grand piano forte. The !own was crowded. DUBLIN, MARCH I. PRIVATE CORRESPONDESICt. A shocking murder and robbery were committed a few nights ago, at a gentleman's house in the county of Cork, in his absence. The robbet-1 broke in, and, atter having murdered the servant man and woman, they tied the lady of the house, and woul.l have murdered her also, but for the interposition of one of the party, who remonstrated fur her in the strongest manner, in consequence of her ignorance of their persons (the knowledge of which, it is sup posed, caused the death of the two servants). They then decaniped, after having robbed the house of the most valuable articles. The villains, however, had not time to dispose of their plunder, before justice overtook them ; for, one of the party having by accident left his dog (which had followed him the night before) shut up in one of the rooms of the house, the animal was let out by the neighbouring gentlemen. who collefted next morning, a.td follow ed at a rhstance by them on horseback, and, after having run about five or six miles, he entered a house, the mistress of which welcomed him by his name. The gentlemen asked the woman where her husband was ? she replied, that he had gone to Cork the day before, and would not return till night. However, upon searching the house, they found him, with two or three other men, in bed, all of whom they immediately lodged in gaol. Some of the stolen property was found in the house. A letter from a gentleman in the county of Kerry states, that frequent riots take place amongst the lower class of people in that county, which some times require the utmost exertions of the civil power to suppress. It is certain, however, that there is no thing of a political nature in their intentions t it Ap pears to be rather the party spirit of clanship, which has given rise to their proceedings, than any more general hostile motives. Last week the house of a farmer, named Shea, near Fethard, was set on flue by a set of villains, who stood deliberately witnessing the conflagration, Until two of the centre couples, or principals, fell in, when they imagined their infernal purpose was aided, and decamped. The poor man, however, forced a passage through the thatch at the end of th.• cabin, and effested the preservation of his family. MONTAGU HOTUAL, san 01 General HOTHAM, died on Monday. He was married abort Eve weeks ago to Miss BIRD, of Litchfield, and had just pur chased an elegant house, splendid equipage, &c. He bad been complaining,./er about three weeks past, but his state was nna,..nsidered dangerous un til a tew hours before Ms dissolution. • .•• •-te • LORD SOMERIILLE'S CATTLE SyElr. The interest which this exhibition yesterday ex. cited, exceeded every thing of the kind which we everllritnessed, and, during the gleam- part of the slay, the large yard and premises in which the cattle are shewn, were literally crowded with persons of the first distinction, and of eminence as Breeders, Graziers, FarmersMeehanics, &c.

About half-past four o'ciack, the company began to assemble at Freemascats' Tavern, in Great Qoeen street, but they waited till very near six, before the dinner was announced ; this suspence wail, howe ver, amply filled up by the interesting convents. lions of so many respeClable and intelligent pane es from all parts of the United Kingdom. A lsot sumptuous dinner was provided at Lord Somcrviiie's sole expence, and quite as many sat dcwn to it, as ever the great room would hold, although an sin a tAbl was laid, the whole length of the ruo n, and scarcely space lett for the servants to pass; the crust t Lisle, at the top, was quite with Noblemen and persons of distinetion; on the rightland of Lord Somerville sat the Duke of 11...dford ; and, on his left, the Ras:ion Prince Barianiski ; although the company was so huge, every thing was in the utmost plenty, as well as perfettion, and the wines did cr-rdit to the house. At soon as the cloth was withdrawn, nine silver cups, four of them with coven, and richly wrought, were brought in, and set at the head of the table.
