His splendid equipages, end rich dud elegant liveries were not disfigured by any trapping which could iKoriiblz shock the • el ide,. or wobld the feeleugs of tiny Class of his Ms jesly's subjects. 'lnstead of the ',arty emblems so long employed for the purpose of offending the eiti zeus of Dublin, the carriages add horses of his Lordship were decorated with the ancient city colours—scarlet or deep crimson. The band oc companying 'the 'prOcession ',toyed God some the iv. and St. Patrick's Lley, toweled of the irritating cues usually played on ()cessions. A strider spirit of (obtains loyalty and patridtism presided over the arrangements for the sumptuous banquet given by his Lordship st the close of the day. Every toast 'which could possibly give offebee was excluded from the s lot ; end the guests ettinprised men of all sects 'mid parties. without refeteoce to religious or political deduction* of anyltind. City processions 'were wont to pass through the streets of Dublin. either in deathlike silence, tar atuidst the execrat l of the people. Yesterday, however, the scene was widely different, the pin cession was loudly and heartily cheered along the whole line of streets through which it passed. from the City Assembly House in the Castle, thence le the City Court House. in Gient-stttet, add after windy to the Mansion house. NEW CITY OFFICERS. Yesterday the inauguration of Lord Mayorlad Sheriffs fur the ensuing year took place, with the ushal . pomp and ceremonies. About half-past two o'clftek the city authorities went in state to the Castle, where Alderman John Smith Fleming, was swop in Lord Mayor, and invested with the insignia of office by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. The procession proceeded afterwards to the Ses sions House, where H. Cooper and J. Thorpe, E•grs. were sworn in High Sheriff., and Gabriel Whistler, Esqr. Sob-Sheriff. The equipagei of oar new Chief Malistrlfte . and Sheriffs display mods elegance, combined with taste and judgment, and were all built by Sheriff Cooper. Ti,, Lord Mayor's (a landau), the body a eery rift; k purple, bordering on black—the'cartiageli dark brown, picked out with scarlet, displaying a pleasing contrast, the haarmercloth drab, with propriate fringe, and the arose embroidered on the ends; the c►ty and 'family arms on the'body were moat admirably executed ; the motto, "Bares infafia."

The liveries of euch are powder blue, with silver Lice and purple breeches; the horses were deco. rated with crianon ribbons. .From the good sense in landibly manifested by Ott new officers in discarding from their equipages all emblems of party, we are led to hope that in the discharge of the important duties attached to their high offices, the new Laid Mayor and Sheriffs sltll be *equated by a sincere road well-directed atibitiou for the public welfare t''lnsetlier to shield, Their country's liberties, their etruistri's law," and by an ',rota desire to promote she comfort, and afford relief so the nemetons poor and noels- poured mechanics of this city. • DINNER AT THE 111AlfgelAST.HODiE._ Yesterdayevening ?we a splendid banquet at the Mansion House to hi.

PERSIA 111 MINIATVRS. CiIIIRACTER OP THE PERSIANS. The following extract presents a fair pitture of the inhabitants of this ancient kingdom. considered with reference to their intellectual qualities, and this very circumstance serves to give • deeper shade to the gloomy prospect exhibited in their moral dia. racier : " lu delineating the character of the Persians, we can scarcely have a better guide than Chardin, whose lung residence, and whose intercourse with the great, enabled him to make himself intimately acquainted with tl►e charac.er of the nation. rather than with that of the lower classes, the number of whose vices is increased by want of education. The Persians are pre-eminent for intellectual qualities ; their moral character exhibits a cotnpound of the moat odious defects. They have a sound under standing, a quick intaginution, a ready memory. and a happy capacity for the sciences and the liberal and mechanical arts. Under the appearance of ■ proud indifference, they derive information from the society of foreigners, and profit by their know. ledge; they receive them kindly, patronize them. tolerate their religion, and regard them with pity rather than contempt. 'ln illness and affliction they even solicit the prayers of Infidels. but this may proceed fiom superstition rather than from to leration. " In conversation the Persians affect elegant !lan guage. and are feud of introducing quotation' from the works of their best poets, such as Saadi, Hafts, and Djami. This love of quotation is com mon alike to persons of distinction and to the dregs of the people, because those who have received no education. and cannot even read and write, take advantage of the readiness and retentiveness of their memory to‘lerrn by heart r great number of strik ing passages, which they omit no opportunity of bringing forward. They are also very clever at irony sod punning. "Endowed with a supple and intriguing disposi tion, they have agreeable manners and ext►eme politeness, but this politeness is little better than a jargon of biglillown compliments and hyperbolic expressions. equally destitute of sense and feeling ; hence it is, no doubt, that they have been deno minated the French of Asia. _ _ " Mr. Morier gives several examples of this pro pensity of the Persians to flattery, hyperbole, slid exaggeration. When the British Embassy reached Shim, the Vizir of the Prince Governor, attended by most of the principal men of the city, came out to meet the Ambassador. When the usual routine of first compliments had been gone through, and re p ea ted over and 'over again, fhe Minister placed hi mse lf on one side of the Ambassador, while the m s h mo ndar, as officer appointed to attend distin guished stratigers, mud who acts as commissary, guard, and guide, was on the other. The Meh. msndur said to the Minister, ' How well the Elaine (Ambassador) talks Persian?' Well !' cried tht Minister, '‘ he talks it admirably—he is supe rior to any Monad,. We have never yet seen such an Elshee—none so accomplished, none so clever, none so learned.' To all this there was a chorus around of • Belli, be/li, Belli.' The Mitaistir then turned to • person on the other side of hien, and said loud enough, and expreoily for the Aisibmiador to hear, Did you e eeeee e any one so charming as the so much better than all the other Elahres.' The Ambassador, in praising the climate of Shirai', observed, ' It is so fine, that I should have thou6ht mankind never died here, had I not seen those tombstones,' pointing to some which he was just passing. • Wonderful ! wonderful?' exclaimed the Mehmundur. ' DA you hear that !' br roared out to the Minister. ' What a wit is the Elalsee." He then repeated the joke to the Minister, who cried out ' Wonderful ! wonderful !' as did all the others. However impertinent this cost of bare faced flattery may appear to Europeans, in as eyes of the Poston* the omission of it would be a neglect of the common forms of politeness. Mr. Monet was once present when the Prime Minister gave instructions to a man who was sent to greet a Russian officer on his arrival, and his principal ins jut • tioti was, 'Be sure you give him plenty of Battery.' They know, however, the real valne of it, as well as we, for at the same time lie turned round to our countryman, rind said, You know it is necessary reesk-kkinditla bektitteent.' to laugh at his braid, or, in other worth., to itiontrug him. Among themselves they practise the same sort of deceit; and though they are iii genetsl aware of the value of the praise they receive, yet it does not fail to stimulate their vanity, which, as far back as Ilerclotus, aripesis to have been a national vice— for lie sa)s, • they esteem themselves the most ex cellent of mankind' " lo the embassy of Sir Harford Jones—we quote the words of the same traveller—l once witnessed the introdecti:sto of one Persian to another, the principal Mitza of the embassy to the Chief Jewel ler. • What !' said the latter, •is this the re nowned A•ge Meer, that learned, that ingenious man, that ransom' penman ?' and then went through such ■ rapid enumeration of virtues. qua lifies, personal cha ttttt , and family di►tinctions. that the Mirza at fir►t appeared quite overwhelmed; but by little and little he recovered, and returned so brisk • fire of compliments as almost to MIIIIIIII - Ilse jeweller. •• I have repeatedly heard them compliment a person,' observes Mr. Scott Waring • either in Isis IleArlogs or in the presence of some one who would convey this adulation to his ease; slid the instant that he has departed, their praises have been turned into abuse, and they have, with emus pirsmire, exposed the character which not a moment before they praised with f t servility.' •• I recollect,' says the same writer, • the Sheili at Beshise remonstrating against the rapacity of Chirsy Ali Khan, the Governor of Shiraz, whets he was informed of the arrival of his principal Secre tary. He began by inquiring after the Governor's betelth, and when he was told that he had quitted the city, he readily observed, that now Shiraz was worthless, and that it had lost the only ornament it possessed.' This spirit of exaggeration and insin cerity is not confined to their personal intercourse with one another ; it insinuates itself into public affairs as well as into the !nimbler relations between man and man. " Passionately fond of plenum and luxury. and voluptuous to excess, the Persians ore unboundedly prodigal. H•nce they acquire merely to expend : 'with there the enjoymrit of the present tidy it every Thing, and the morrow belongs to God. " A Persian will never blaspheme the e•me of God, but he will invoke him without occasion. He will one moment ptdr►ounce that sacred name with the same lips which the next are pouring forth the grossest obscenities; he will punctually recite his prayers; he will purify himself several time• •-day; he will avoid all corporeal' containiustmo„ the contact of a person of a different religion, or the admix•inn of such • person into his house in rainy weather, since the wet from his clothes would render impure whatever it touched, whether person or furniture—but lie will bear false witness for the sake of filthy lucre ; he will borrow without return log, or even deny his debt ; lie will seize every or" port unity of cheating ; he will be destitute of biit_ cerity in the service of his friend, of fidelity in his engagements, and of honesty in trade : in short, while lie outwardly r shams the bark of all the ►in tues, the sap of vice will circulate through all lus wimps. 4‘ From these different traits we may conclude that the society of tire Persians is agreeable, if the connexion between the parties is diviiiterested; but we must not expect from them either sincere friendship, strict integrity, or refined delicacy.-- 'Nudge from the Guebres, the relics of the ancient Persians, they were originally a coarse-looking peo ple ; but their blood has siuce been refined by th e intermixture with that of Georgia and Omani.. There are few Persians of quality wk., are not sprung from women or 'hose naviolls; and ■s this intermix ture has been practised for several centuries, both sexes have been greatly improved by it. The men are tall and well proportioned, vigorous, active, end comely. The women, without being qualified in vie with those of Georgia in beauty, are in general handsome it, face and figure."

On a further progress into the interior of the country, when at Kilkenny and Carlow, I saw beautiful marbles, and at Nadia speclmeas of even Goer from other parts which I did net visit, my surprise increased; and whew at every stop I Saw Orsmte,, pe. ping as it were, and bombast fruentmery pore, and knowing the high price and estimation which this line stung bears its Loudon, I, as instated}, pronounced that with such an ahle.budisd sod eyelike Mg population, with provisions so excellent and so cheep, with sal h mines of wealth throughout the whole hlaad, *nee but the de- Smudged idle need be without employ.

From the tremendous splutter the crea►ure was making among the mendbanks and shallows of the Solway, a countryman rightly con jectured " there was something in the wind," and, after mustering the neighbours, repaired to the spot. where the party ►ucceeded in inflicting a huge gash in the throat of the luckless leviathan. Through this aperture ix the sir ru►hed, and oast the blood 'pouted, dying the water fur yutds round, and emitting sounds not unlike the swegh of a chain pump of several horse power. The assailants m.de • rope fast to the back fin of the fi.h. and already reckoned on securing their prize ; but the animal made a desperate straggle to regain the deep water, and, by gigantic efforts, had very nearly left the whole party in the lurch. The man at the rope, however. " held like grim death," and, being promptly seconded, the mumter was fairly overcome, acid I'oloy landed. The appearance of thus fiat itt the Solway is considered an indication that that chose is about to he visited by herrings. PRICE OF STOCKS YESTERDAY. 3 per Ct. Cl/1114.• • • Sl I Ex.
