The band of the Grenadier Guards played this afternoon, from three o'clock till five, upon the Castle Hill, near the Stone Tower. There was a fashionable assemblage present. GRAND ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT. The Royal Lodge was yesterday the scene of one of the most splendid entertainments that have taken place since his Majesty has resided here. In the forenoon Earl Harcourt paid a visit to his Majesty; and about two o'clock the King, with his nu merous visitors, left the Lodge In phaetons drawn by the much admired stud of ponies, with out-riders to each phaeton in full liveries. Close carriages were in attendance In the event of the weather proving unfavourable. The Royal Party proceeded, by a circuitous route, through the Great Park to toe planta tions skirting Virginia Water, and returned by the newly formed rides on the south side of the Park to the Lodge. Shortly after seven o'clock a most superb banquet was served in the Grand Saloon, which was richly illuminated, and pre sented a most imposing appearance. Among the Company present were—Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Clarence, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Augusta, Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Dorset, Earl and Countess Bathurst, Lady Georgiana Bathurst, Lord and Lady Maryborough, Lady Mary Taylor, Lady Isabella Thynne, Sir Andrew Barnard, and Sir Edmund Nagle.

In the Alcove, at the extremity of this brilliant scene, the Band of the Grenadier Guards were stationed, and per formed, at intervals, t h ro ughout the evening, pieces of music , occasionally selecte d by his Majesty, or some of his distin guished guests. After the entertainment, his Royal Highness the Duke of York left for London ; the Duchess of Gloucester for Bagshot ; and the Princess Augusta for Frogmore. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. IL S.

(Prom Ms Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.) 4/ following Address from the Chamber 0, Commerce of Dublin, was the only one (we be. lieve) received by Mr. CANXING during his visit to the Lord Lieutenant:-- TO THE RIGHT 110 X. GEORGE CARIfINO, &C., &C. &C. SlR—lmpressed with sentiments of profound respect, we, the Merchants of the Chamber of Commerce of this City, beg leave to present our cordial congratulations upon your arrival in Ireland. To the claims of a Statesman, the splendour of whose per. sonal attributes and the importance of whose political services have excited the tribute of a nation's homage, we are not in sensible ; but, in accordance with the peculiar design of our Institution, we would, upon this gratifying.occasion, address you, Sir. rather in your distinguighed relations with an Ad ministration under whose auspicei the- great national inte rests which the commerce and manufactures •of these realms involve, have assumed a vigour and expansion to which the commercial records of the world scarcely afford a pa rallel. And we would presume, Sir, to express our convic tion that a predominant cause of this signal result is to be found in the influence of the measures which an enlarged and enlightened policy has applied to the regulations of the commercial interests of the State, and which, in liberating these interests from hurtful restrictions, and in establishing them upon the wide and stable foundation of a beneficial reci procity, has employed the most effectual means to secure, aug ment, and p.rpetuate, their prosperity. Sir, in the character of the Commercial Legislation of the period, we recognise principles not less congenial to the libera lity of your spirit, than consistent with your just and compre hensive estimate of imperial interest. It is not necessary, Sir, to recap your unwearied zeal in be half of the commercial concerns of the community with whom you were so long associated, to confirm our persuasion that the correspondent concerns of Ireland will ever engage your warmest sympathy ; and that no suitable exertion of the influence of your exalted station, and yet more exalted talents, will be omitted to encourage and protect her industry, to accelerate her progress in .the career of improvement, and, by . the application of wise and beneficent measures, to call into action her great but undeveloped elements of commercial and national prosperity. Signed on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce of Dublin, L. CRosTII WAIT, President. A. GUINNESS, IiEORGE DRAYER, Vice- Presidents. JAMES CONNOLLY, JAMES CHAMBERS, ROBERT ROE, Secretary. ANSWER.

These renewed Races commenced to-day, and agreeably dis appointed the expectations of those who had augured unfa vourably of them. Notwithstanding the propitious state of the weather, the renowned Moulsey Hurst slid not assume its accustomed gaiety till 3 short time before three o'clock, when the Course presented a pretty strong muster ; the company, ' though not fashionable, being very respectable. The sports, which were conducted with great precision by a Mr. Coombe, well known on the turf, were well contested, and gave general satisfaction. The Innkeepers' Stakes were disputed in a manner that would not have disgraced thorough-bred horses; and the La dies' Cup produced four as pretty heats as we have witnessed for some time. The Races were scarcely finished before dark, in consequence of their having been delayed till the arrival of the visitors. Very few betting men were present, consequently the betting was limited, and to small amounts. We subjoin a correct statement.

STAG HUNT AT KILLARNEY. The last hunt for this season at the Lakes, took place a few days since. The flood was so great from the torrents of rain that had poured down for some days, that the boatmen were obliged to strip and haul their boats through the currents. — The hunt was to have taken place at an early hour in the morn ing, but John O'Connell, hag. who, as an old sportoman and the owner of the hounds, had the arrangement of the plea sures of the day, seeing the difficulty the boats had in getting under the weir bridge, delayed the sport until half-past two o'clock, by which time about seventy boats had assembled under Ronan's Island, near Lord Brandon's cottage, at the head of the Upper Lake. The signal being made to the tele graph-man stationed on the hill over where the buck lay, he immediately signaled the huntsmen, who instantly laid on the hounds, and in a short time unharboured him at Darrycarna. The buck held on by Augriegh, to near Lord Brandon's cot tage, then in view of the boats along the Upper Lake, iato the wood of Derricunnihy, which he kept for a long time ; he then made a windlass, and was running for home, but was so haul pressed by the pack, that he was obliged to take the soil oppo. site to Ronan's Island, at a full imprime, with the body of the hounds close at his haunches. The light boats of the fleet im mediately pulled out to save him. Lord Kenmore's boat was the first up with him, when one of the men jumped upon his back, and secured him. He was hauled into the boat, bound by the legs, his eyes blind-folded, and then rowed round the fleet, for the inspection of the company. MATCH FROM LONDON TO DONCASTER AND BACK.-- Mr. G. WEST, whose equestrian feats are recorded, started on Thursday night, at 12 o'clock, to go from the llampstead-rod Chapel to and from Doncaster (32 4 miles) in four days sii hours. The wager was, that the pedestrian sho uld be at Don caster (102 miles) in two days , f or 100 sovere igns ; and the second engagement, for another 100 sovereigns, was, that he did not accomplish the undertaking. The match is rather more than three miles an hoar,. stoppages included. The pe destrian reached Wandsford (halt the distance) the first (lay, and took not more than a quarter of an hour's rest, and he won the first hundred by beating time 20 minutes, and was returna ble to Itossington-bridge, flair miles back, before he rested. On Sunday night he arrived at Stamford, and took four hours rest, leaving himself 28 hours to do the 85 miles in. He took his Journey leisurely, breakfasted at Alconbury, dined at Royston, and finished his day's work at Enfield. He accomplished the other 10 miles easily, in 3 hours and 40 minutes—winning the match, with twenty minutes to spars, at 4 o'clock on Monday morning. SPARRING. Reid. of Chelsea, a man who has so often proved his man hood by victory in the prize-ring, had a benefit yesterday at the Fives' Court, and it was as well attended as the season promised. A sprinkle of Nobility, brought thither by the great Captain of the fighting forces, assembled, and they were well satisfied with the day's play. The sets-to were as follows : Mason and Chapman afforded much amusement as light weights, by their refined skill. Chapman has the gift which Randall once had, of doing as he liked with an antagonist. Goodman and illason made a very good set-to. Donnelly and Harris, the latter the champion of Ilampstead Heath, had a very merry rumble-tumble bout. Pat had made too free of the temple waters of Seagre, Evans, and Co., and got some ugly fiats. He was desirous of fi n ish ing his customer, but the proprietor of the Court interfered, and called out " En o ugh." Jen lrn and Acton made a very fine set-to, and exhibited sc ience in various forms. Burn has proved hi mselfl an adept w ith naked fists against a gian t, and lie is equally good with gloves on. Ab. Belasco and Harry Holt made one of the finest sets-to ever seen in the Coml. harry Holt instructs his pupils in one gra nd object of self-defence--Mind your parries." Illelatico did mind them without the hint, and returned two; but Harry , was w ith him at number three. The turn - up was p retty equal . anti it produced a thunder of applause. Young Dutch Sam and one of the younger Oip se y Coo p ers acquitted themselves manfully. Reid finished is a short set-to with Oipsey Cooper the great, in a scientific bout. TIIE FRENCH PRETENDER.

Hop ing by my perseverance to disappoint the hopes of intrigue, I have caused to be printed 200 memorials, by reading which, it may be judged, that if I was not the son of Louis XVI. the Censors would have laid complaints against me. However they have no resource but intrigue, which thus far has per fectly answered their purpose. Those who wish to satisfy their curiosity, or who are desirous of doing me a service, may effect both purposes by taking one of those Memorials. It will cost them one dollar ; and I promise, as soon as I shall have suc ceeded to my rights, to be delivered to each of them a barrel of vin de grave. Any person desirous of procuring one of these Memorials, may see me in person, at No. 40, Courtlandt. street. The intrigues that have been resorted to in the different cities to prevent my obtaining supplies can now no longer exist. Citizen La Fayette will attest that the Dauphin of France, on the death of his father, was only three years old. He ought to remember that he took him in 1791 from theism* of his nurse, to sliew him to the people. This happened at the Palace of Versailles ; consequently, all who say that he was nine years old on the death of his father are evil-disposed persons, besides being crazy.

We understand that it is in contemplation to form a Joint Stock Company for the construction of a railway between London and Edinburgh for the conveyance of goods and passengers; the propelling power to be locomotive and stationary steam engines. It is understood that the distance between these two places may be reduced to about 340 miles, and if the same rate of travelling . be adopted on this roa d as is proposed for the Liverpool and Birmingham railway, namely, eight miles an hour for goods, and twelve miles an hour for passengers, the time of conveyance between these two places will be reduced to 43 and 29 hours respec t ively.—The propriety of fixing upon this line as the " Grand 1 runk Railway" of the kingdom is particularly obvious. Besides being the commu nication between the two capitals, it forms the longest direct line, and passes through one of the most populous and manu facturing districts of the island. It passes near to Bedford and Leeds. It leaves at a little distance to the west the manuf actur . ng towns of Northampton, Leicester, Loughborough, Notting. ham, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Ilarnby, and Halifax, with which it can communicate. By means of aide railways it would in a similar mariner communicate on the east with Huntingdon, Stamfonl, Worksop, Doncaster, York, and Dur. ham, passing at nearly equal distances between Carlisle and Newcastle. From Edinburgh it might easily communicate with Glasgow, and also in its southern extremity be the line of communication with Manchester through Derby. No other single line unit es so ma ny decided advantages to the public and to the undertakers.---( Caledonian Mercury.)

On Wednesday evening, the fltl Sept. n party of smugglers attempted to run a cargo of spirits, near N Tower. Sussex, when they were interrupted by Lieut. BRAND and the men under his command, and seven of the muggier* taken, together with one hundred tubs of spirits. One of the . blockade men jumped into the boat for the purpose of seizing her, when the smugglers shoved off, and carried the man with them. Three galleys immediately put off in chace of the boat but without effect, and the body of the unfortunate man was picked up in the morning on the sands below high water mark with the head and face dreadfully bruised and lacerated. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday at the Wheat Sheaf public-house, Little Compton, near M 1 Tower, before Thos. Barton, Esq. Coroner for the County, when Lieut. Wru. Henry Brand deposed, that being on duty on Wednesday about half-past nine P.m. he observed a party of men go over the beach towards the water'. edge. and shortly afterwards he heard a noise as if of tubs being rolled out of a boat, and im. mediately afterwards the same party returned over the beach, and then he perceived the deceased Win. Welch lift up his arm and fire his pistol in the air for an alarm. Deponent im mediately rushed among the party, and from that moment lust sight of Welch. Michael Maloney, seaman, deposed, that being on duty on the beach on Wednesday evening, he beard the alarm fired, and ran to the spot where he saw Welch in the boat, who called to him by name to come to his assistance. Deponent went into the water as far as he could, but was not able to reach the boat ; the deceased called out several times, " Oh, Maloney, Maloney, come to me." Deponent asked if he should fire his pistol, to which he received no reply ; he was deterred front firing his pistols lest he should shoot the deceased ; he was well acquainted with the deceased, and could not be mistaken as to his voice. Randolph Hollywell, seamen, deposed, that lie was on duty on die beach on Wednesday evening, when he saw a party go down towards the water's edge, who shortly afterwards returned laden with tubs; he then saw the deceased a little to the West ward of the party lift up his arm, and fire his pistol in the air; was quite certain he fired it as a signal and not at any person. Deponent heard the decased call out from the boat, " Maloney., Maloney, murdered;" he was calling out bitterly, and ap peared us if he were attempting to call out something mote, but could not; deponent was well acquainted with Welsh, and could not be mistaken as to his voice. James Earls, seaman, was on duty at 50 Tower on Wed nesday evening, when hearing the alarm he ran out, and as he was going along the beach he heard the cries of murder; he was well acquainted with Welch's voice, and was certain the cries proceeded from him. William Fitzgerald, seaman, was on duty at 50 Tower, when hearinhe alarm he went out, and as he was going al o ng h e heard Welch calling out murder most piteously ; he knew Welch's voice well, and was certain that the cries proceeded from him. Deponent picked up the body of Welch on Thurs day morning on the smooth sand, below high water mark ; de ponent was quite sure that the body he picked up was the body of Welch. Sarah Simmons—Was outside of 50 Tower on Wednesday evening, when she distinctly heard the cries of murder proceed ing front the westward of the tower, but she could not distin guish whose voice it was. John Mussell,Quartermaster,was on duty between the towers 49 and 50, when hearing the alarm he proceeded to the spot , and on his way he heard Welch calling out " Murder" several times. lie was well acquainted with Welch, and could not tin mistaken as to his voice. Isaac Dins. Assistant Surgeon of the Coast Blockade, was called up at five o'clock on 'Thursday morning to examine the hotly of William Welch. He found a wound in the forehead, which, in his opinion, was inflicted with some obtuse instrument; was quite positive it was not a wound from a pistol ball, but thought it might be from the but end of the muzzle of a pistol ; part of the nose was also cut off by sonic sharp instrument. Neither of these wounds would, in his opinion, have caused im mediate death, but they were sufficient to have stunned the de ceased, and tie proximate cause of his death was drowning; was sure neither of the wounds could have arisen form a fall. The Colton kat read over the evidence to the Jury, and lo formed them, that whether the was killed in the boat, and afterwards thrown overboard, or whether he was knocked over_ ! board by violence, or thrown overboard, it made no difference. , ; it would be equally murder. The Jury considered for some tune, and then brought in a. verdict of—Found drowned ! In washing the body for interment after the inquest, four wounds were discovered on the upper lip, and one under the left eye, all of which had been ev identl y inflicted with the of a pistol. These wounds w e re concealed by the great quan titylimn of blood that was clotted on the face. CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29.

LI 0 lIT NI NG Co NDU CTO NS.— Professor LESI3 V, Of Edinburgh, denies that there is any reason for supposing &bat an electrical fluid exists. Ile also says, that " the effect of tho thunder-rod is comparatively a drop in the ocean.
