WINDHAM'S CONCERT'. This Lady gave a Grand Concert, at her house in Portland•place, on Tuesday last. which was at tended by, at least, two hundred Nobility. The Concert was held in the first drawing-room, which was most brilliantly I;gbted by a large diamond cnt lustre, in the centre, and e-.mda branches, hold ing tapers, were placed in different parts of the room ; the hangings were of a yellow (la mask, with gold mouldings, and had a beautiful effect. The Concert commenced with a beautiful duet by Madame BIANCHI and Signor Rios', which was much applauded. A trio on the French-horn by Messrs. Lx•onte and Master Jon soots, was raptur oudy received. Madame BIANCA' was in fine voice, and sang a very sweet air, with great taste. The little Spanish boy was much applauded in a concerts on the violin. Mr. LiNnt tv played a charming solo on the violoncello ; and Masters Joist:sue and SCHULTZ played a favourite concer tante on the harp and horn, in which they displayed great taste and execution. 'I he music was con dotted by Messrs. LIANDLII ; with their usual judg ment and attention.

On Tuesday last, this Lady gace a grand supper arid musical party, at her home, Upper Brooke surer, Grosvenor-square, sshich was attended by up warns of two hundred personages of the first rank and fashion. The tables were laid to accommodate 120 pert ins, and decoratt.ii in a very elegant style. Supper was served at halt past one, and consisted of every delicacy of the season, served on th- finest china. Mr. Ill•HA 14 was present; but prevented, by indisposition, from lending his pow-tful aid to the vocal part of the entertainment: he made a most elegant apology to the company. Signora STOItACIL was in fine voice, and sang several airs with great tare and spirit. A Gentle man amateur played on the harp, and might have been mistaken for a second flee/met ; s I Ladies, amateurs, sa..g some beau:i!ul airs, with taste, deli cacy, and sweetness. The Countess of A BEIDILES, Lady and the Hoeourable Miss FORT MOE, and Sir Diu/Mb/OND and Lady Se 1114. were present.

The family of Gary De liowrca is one of the oldest and most illustrilus in the North of England. Some of them were the companions of Henry the Fifth in the conquest of Fran:e, and received the titles of Viscount G LLND• La and Earl of T•fiasa vitt.e, in addition to their laurels. M•svcas, the title which Viscount New ARE as moves, as an Earl of the United Kingdom, is ann um% title in the Prm a I.POINT family. One of his Lordship's ancestors was created by King CDR R Les the First. Barou Pierrepoiut, Viscount Newark, and Earl of Kingston, having at the same time the titles of Baron slanvers and Ilerriz. The Pierrepnints are a family of great antiquity, and are supposed to have come to England with WILLI•NI the Con queror ; and we find Sir Simms Pi irer had a summons to Parliament in the 9th year of the reign of Eowaro the Second.

The putilic anxiety dur:ng Tuesday, Wednesday" and Thursday last, for the arrival of his Grade Bedford, exceeded any thing we recolleCt t• have aritoessed. The Pigenn-house, the q s, the streets, were crowded with inquirer• of every description, and patience was apparently exhanistell, when, on the morning of yesterday, the autval of the yacht in the harbour, announced the approach of his Ex tellencv. Signal being made from the battery,near the Light House-wall, and expresses having been sent to the Earl of Hardwicke and the General Officers on the S'atf, preparations ware commenced for the con veyance of our illustrious Viceroy to the metro polis. Between six and seven o'clock, the Earl of Hard wicke proceeded to the Pigeon-house, in one of his travelling carriages, escorted by a detachment of cavalry, in order to receive his successor, who witg landed from one of the King's barges—togathe. with the Duchess. The Vice-regal pair took re freshment at Mr. Draper's. The first notification the citizens of Dublin had of the event, was from the noise and bustle of the taihtary. Martial music was heard in all directions; • line was formed from the Castle to Marrion-square, Aeon gh Dame -street, College-green. Graisourpstrast, into hlessau-streef,"Leinster-street, and Clare-street, the 90111 regiment took the right, the second ♦atta lion of the 28th the left, and the centre or the in fantry comprised the 48th foot, the Donegal militia, and another regiment. Where the Qtrth regiment terminated, two squadrons of the Green-horse, at tended by their excellent band, formed a line aloor the North and East sidesof Merrion-square, into Fitz william-street. From the Pigeon-house to Macartney-bridge there were repeated communications by express, relating to the proposed rcut and order of the procession.— Ringsand-hridge, that shameful thoroughfare, no: being considered sufficiently safe for a :lumber of horsemen and carriages to pass over, the cavalcaje proceeded from the Pigeon-hosts. through Ringsend, Iristitown, and Sandymount, from whence it turned off to Black Rock-road. At half past eight o'clock, the shouts of the peo ple on the road, announced to the eager crowds in Baggut-street, the near approach of his Excellency. The pre cession moved at rather a quick pace into town, in the following order— A Lieutenant% c..mma•td of Horse. Gentlemen on horseback. General Officers. Then Ael.de.Comps. Servants of the late and prinsiit Viceroys. A touch and four, with fare Gent'ime.i of the Earl of Hard- Hoeseho'd A coach and 04, belonging to the Earl of Hardwick.. A Silicone. guard of Cavalry. Aided. camps. A egad% and eight, whkh carried the Duke and Duchess of Al, ds Camps. A number of Gen.leunn on horseback. A siguadrein of Cavalry dosed the proceosioa. The acclamations of the people were unbounded. At Macartney Bridge they endcavosamsi so tyke the horses from the new Viceroy's carriage; but their views were frustrated by the activity of the posti lions, and the procession, from that moment, pro ceeded with vast rapidity to the Castle, through the line formed by the military, of which we have given a description. At four o'clock, on Thursday afternoon, the Duke of Bedford was sworn into office, with the usual ceremony, the Earl of Hardwicke having resigned to him the Sword of State, together with the chain and emblems of the Order of St. Patrick, of which, as the King's Representative, his Grace now be comes the p►o trwpors chief. Immediately on that event taking place, a royal salute was fired by the great guns in the Phi:snit Park. His Grace was dressed in a cavalry military uni form, blue and silver, collar and cuffs faced with yellow, and wore a cocked hat and feather, when he took the chair in the Council, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Three of his Excellency's children have oorne with him to Ireland. Her Grace's mother, the Duchess of Gordon, is not expelled to arrive in this country until about the middle of Summer. Miss Fordyce, one of the Duchess of Bedford's Mails of Honour, arrived from England with her Grace. The Earl of Hardwicke will embark to-morrow, on board the Dorset yacht, for England —His Lord ship will have a Levee at the Castle, at two o'clock. ~ The Who from Portsmouth for Gibraltar, struck en the Southern part of the Rock, and sunk. The Arryre, PMILLIPS, from Demerara for Li verpool, has put into Long Island in distress. By the Atncourt man of war, arrived at Yar mouth from the Dutch coast, we have received ad vice, that a squadron, consisting of a three-decker, and two other ships of war, is in perfefireadiuneto sail from Helvcietsluys. The Purerlarg4 Cowl Givette, of the 4th of March, contains General Kuvitsorr's account of the bat tle of Austerlitz. General Kurt:sups states the lou of the Russians at 12,000 men. Several re plus of this celebrated battle have already appeared in this Paper. Thursday last arrived at Dumbarton Castle, the 74th regiment of foot, from India, where they had been for many years, and whose uncommonly good charatter and behaviour merited and obtained - the Commander in Chief's thanks, previous to their departure for this country. A Gentleman had his pocket picked of a valuable gold watch yesterday, in the crowd pressing for ad mission into the gallery of the House of Commons. A cucumber, seven inches and a half long, was cut in the garden of Sir F. H UTCHINSON , Bart. at his beautiful seat, near Bay, Ireland, on the 16th IfFebi nary last ; and another, of the same size. was cut there on the Cist of this month. A soldier, lately returned from the Indies, is now at Tuddenham.

This is what Iha 'e seen practised in France, and what appeared fair to all classes. —Chi rich then paid the poor, or, perhaps, the braver man, who wished to serve. And, to insure the Nee I propose to raise, to be well disciplined and well commanded, I would have gentlemen of the first respectability to be oblig♦ to take commissions ; and ale° old regular Officers • to be appointed. and continued on fad pay, where they wish to be settled; as well as &tritons and privates, who, by ale or accident, are tensioned unfit for His Majesty s regular service. This would serve, at once, as an honourable retreat to the mili tary of every class, and insure the same means of exercise as praaised in our regular army. Men who would thus retire on full pay. would be as efficient as ever, it we consider the militery spirit they would daily infuse over the country. I st, Let the present Militia be allowed to vomit. teer in the Line, and after a certain period those men who remain, to be attached to the Rzgalar Army, without being sulijed to quit the country.— Such Militia Officers as desire it, to be attached during the war, kc. with their present rank • bat an Officer of the Line to command all Officers of his rank in the Militia. 2d.
