EVENING EDITION. WELLINGTON FESTIVAL. tDOVER, AUG 30.—This morning, long, looked forward }by the p eop l e o f D over, was ushered in by a salute from st heights. The castle threw out its broad banner—the Ye ssela in the harbour and in the bay dressed themselves to their many coloured flags ; the inhabitants of the town, ba ekediby thousands of visitors, cast off all thoughts of bu ltiness, and crowded either the road by which their illus trious visitor was expected to approach, or the precincts of t i le Pasi ion 11' in which he was to befeasted. The latter was very deservedly an object of great attraction. It was a buil dis t ; which wou ld b e i mpos i ng f rom i ts s i ze a l one; but the manner in which it was decorated and fitted up w as well calculated to awoken the highest admiration. N'ot so extensive as the Grey Pavilion at Edinburgh, 'or the Peel Pavilion at Glasgow. it was still more beautiful in internal decoration, and more excellent in richness of embellishment than either of them. What it wanted in richness, as compared with either of these, was snore than compensated in general brilliancy of effect. It 'stood, including its covered ways and entrance lobbies, uPoo 20,420 feet of ground : the a ea alone occupied for the purposes of the di nner b e i ng 120 f eet b y 130 f eet . There hare been consumed in its erection 400 loads, or d 20,000 cubic feet of timber, and it has taken 100 men 60 ay s in banding. It s s h ape was near l y square , h av i ng a t the one end a raised gallery, elaborately ornamented, for 11, 0 more distinguished. guests, and at the opposite extre. rat ty two higher galleries, the lower of which was appro. Witted to the ladies, and the upper to the military band. The tables, which ran down the centre of the building, te nglog in a gradual rise on either side, consisted of twenty-three in number, affording accon.modation for ne arly two th ousand people. The front of- the principal .tilery was decorated with the coat-armour of the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports, whilst over it and against the wall were suspended in the centre the Queen's arms, surrounded by flags belonging to the Cinque Ports l eloo teer Regi men t s , an d a trop h y com p ose d of a V i llas, helmet, and other arms, taken from the field Waterloo, between two stands of muskets, and a scroll suPported by eagles, inscribed " WATERLOO !" On the T i ght was a magnificent fresco piece of tapestry, represent. Ti ght the birth of Achilles , and within an emblematical I.s.order were the arms of William the Conqueror, the founder of the Cinque Ports (being Mars, two lions ram an% guardant, i n pa l e so l) , d rape d w i t h appropr i ate banners, on either sale the flags of the Volunteers of the hieque Ports, of the time of George 11., emblazoned with e arms of Lionel Sackville, Duke of Dorset, flanked on either aide with piles of muskets, and surmounted with a most elaborate ray of swords, and a handsome star cum- P o sed of isayonets. tr On the left was a very elegant piece of Gobelin's tapes , y, re presenting the Cyclops forging the arms of Achilles; t°}l;aPeti round with colours, and answering to the army of / l e Conyieror were the armorial bearings of the Cinque orts (being parti per pale gules and azure, three dimi '°:„. Passant, guardant, in pale or, conjoined with as they stems of ancient gules argent), decorated with th e fl ags of the Margate Volunteer Corps flanked as on s e °Pposite side with muskets, and surmounted by a ray e!Pistols, and a brilliant star of bayonets. The naves and aiales were tastefully decorated with most expensive fla g s an d banners, lent for the occasion by Lord A Conyngham, Sir J o h n Rae Reid, Bart., E. R. Rice Esq. and other gentlemen connected with the town and country. Ou the Principal column, +tr an s_ which supported the building, were gust alternated with other suits and trophies, six gor- F,"tls suits of steel armour, obtained for the occasion from "i_e Tower of Lo ;don. These suits of armour were chiefly !)t the time of t mPosirr Elizabeth and Charles 1., and had a very effect. i s ' 13. -1 walls o f t h e pav ili on on a ll s id es were di v id e d i nto is:T.Partments, in w hi c h were pl a ced rare spe c im en s o f th e were G o b e li n ' s tapestry, f or w hi c h t h e comm i ttee , re indebt e d to the generosity and public spir i t of a native of Dover, Nlr.

Betw , eels these compartments were range d l ig h t fl ags o f •s a b nd white, i nscr ib e d w i t h t h e names o f the f i el d s on W"jo the illustrious Duke had achieved his principal Taen lea.

Over t h e Duke's gallery the centre piece consists of his Urace's arms, on either side of which were a collection of Weapons. The badges of the regiments of which the Gallant D u k e i s Colonel, and two knights in the act of tilting. Over the Ladies' Gallery, the centre-piece was inscribed °n a garter, encircling a ducal coronet—" Invincible in arms, pre-eminent in council ;" this was flanked by groups Of weapons, and the arms of Oxford and the Tower of London, of which his Grace is respectively Chancellor and Constable ; on either side were knights in combat. The elegant bordering around the transparencies was composed of the rose, thistle, and shamrock. The chairs placed in the centre of the Duke's gallery were also lent by Mr. Rogers, and are from the Palace of the Doge of Venice, &c. The whole of the walls were draped with pink and white calico. The Duke's arms, as Lord Warden, in an appropriate frame, were placed immediately opposite to him, above the orchestra. day's ,o'emnitt no man has a right to entertein any per- I sonal feelings on his own behalf, but that all private resp ct and individual considerations ate necessarily ab. sorbed in the eel, bratiun this great day in honour of this great man—(lmmense checring)—yet I feel that, called upon as I hate been, and standing‘ here to perform this grateful and honourable duty, it would be affectation—it would be ingratitude—it weu'el be insolent ingratitude, if I were not to express the feelings which glow within my bosom at being niade the humble instrument of expressing those feelings which reign predominant in yours.--( Long continued cheering.) This is it which bears me up against all the difficulties of the position in which your choice has placed me.—(Hear.) Enough for my own feelings—now for my mighty subject.—(Great cheering.) But the choice you have made of your instrument—of your organ, as it were, upon this oec ,sion—is not uncon nected with that subject, for it shows that on this day, on this occasion, all personal, all political feelings—(pro tracted cheering)—are quelled--all strife of party is hushed—that we are incapable, whatever be our opinions, of refusing to acknowledge transcendent meritond ofdenying that we feel the irresistible impulse of unbounded gratitude. —( Loud cheers. )—And I am therefore asked to do this ser vice, as if to show that no difference of opinion upon subjects, however important—no long course of opposition, however conducted, upon public principles—no political hostility (for any thing other than political)—not even long inveterate habits of public opposition are able so far to stifle the natural feelings of our hearts— so far to obscure our reason as to prevent us from feeling as we ought—boundless gratitude for boundless merit.—( Enthusiastic and tremendous cheering. ) Nei ther can it pluck from our minds that admiration propor tioned to the transcendent genius in peace and in war— ( Renewed cheering)—of him who is amongst us to-day--- nor can it lighten or alleviate the painful, the deep sense which the untired mind never can get rid of when it is overwhelmed by a debt of gratitude too boundless to be repaid.—(Cheers.) Party--the spirit of party—may do much, but it cannot operate so far as to make us forget those services—it cannot so far bewilder the memory, and pervert the judgment, and quench and stifle the warmth of the natural affections, and eradicate from our bosoms those feelings which do us most honour and are the most un avoidable, and as it were dry up the kindly juices of the heart ; and, notwithstanding - all its vile and malignant in fluence on other occasions, it cannot dry up those juices of the heart so as to parch it like very charcoal, and make it almost as black. —(Cheering.) But what else have Ito do? If I had all the eloquence of all the tongues ever at tuned to speak, what else can I do ? flow could a thousand words, or all the names that could be named, speak so powerfully—ay, even if I spoke with the tongue of an angel, as if I were to mention one word—Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.—(Rapturous cheering) —the hero of a hundred fields, in all of which his banner has waved in triumph—who never, I invoke both hemi spheres to witness—bear witness, Europe—bear witness Asia—who never advanced but to cover his arms with glory ; the captain who never advanced but to be victo rious, the mighter captain who never retreated but to eclipse the glory of his advance.—( Loud and long con tinued cheering.)

Men are apt to be dazzled by the loud voice of fame, and to confound together the land marks that separate the departments of human merit : often taken in svi:ll the tinsel and glitter, rather than at tending to the die which guarantees the purity of the coin, or to the weight, which is the test of its value—oftentimes you hear them praising—with a just praise, no doubt— martial deeds of high ernprise, and only dcv Ming their admiration and lavishing their praise upon the conqueror's success in a well-foughten field—( Cheers)—but it Sala manca, and if Talavera, and if Vittoria, and if Vimiera, and the passage of the Douro and Assaye in the East, and Toulouse and Waterloo in the Wast—( Great cheer ing)—it these dazzle upon the medallion which attempts, and vainly attempts to perpetuate his fame, sober-minded and reflecting men will pause crc they hold that these are the greatest achievements of his life ; and a re flecting mind will look back, and will point the ad miring look to the contemplation of Torres Vedras, and its long and well sustained lines, and to the retreats, and battles, and victories gained thus, under adverse circumstances, such as the splendid achievement of Busaco—( Cheers)—because all le flection teaches us that that is the true test of genius which shows its resources to be of inexhaustible fertility in difficulties—its move ments to be nimble and swift as lightning, altering with varying circumstances, which shows a firmness—an almost superhuman firmness to keep by its own counsel, and look forward to the success which it feels and knows that it has earned.—( Cheers.)

I have likewise to return my thanks to the Noble and Learned Lord, who I hope will allow me to call him my Noble and Learned Friend—(Very great cheering)— for the manner in which, and the terms which he has used in recommending to you the sere ices in which I have been employed by the Government of this countrv.—( Cheers.) I have also to express my grateful acknowledgments to you Inr having invited me to be your guest at this magnificent festival. —(Cheers.) My Noble and Learned Friend has ststed to you, with great truth, that there are times and circumstances in which, and under which, all feelings of party—all party animosity, all descriptions of political feel ings roust be laid aside.—( Cheers. ) I must do my Noble and Learned Friend the justice to say that for years and years there has been nothing of that description in social life as between him and me—(Cheers) —notwithstanding that it is certainly true that I have had the misfortune of differing in opinion with my Noble and Learned Friend upon many points of internal and possibly of other de scriptions, of policy. But lam afraid that notwithstand ing the cordiality in which I have always lived with you, and notwithstanding my most anxious wish to co-operate ith all of you in the public service in which we have all been employed, I may happen (I know it does happen) to differ with some of you upon subjects of political in terest to the country.—(Cheers.) But my Noble and Learned Friend judges of you correctly when he states that such feelings of difference would not prevent you—as they have not prevented you—(Cheers)—from doing me the honour of inviting me to this festival, and of bringing here to meet me, not only the whole of this interesting county, but persons from all parts of the kingdom, and even from abroad.—(Cheers.) Therefore my Noble and Learned Friend does you as well as himself justice when he states that there are occasions—occasions in relation to individuals as well as in relation to public interest and services—in which all feelings of party politics and opinions roust be laid aside, in order to carry on the public service to the greatest point of advantage to the public interest.—('.;hears.) I have had sufficient experi ence in public life to know that this must be the case. I am convinced that it is that feeling which has induced you to pay this tributes of respect to the person holding the situation of Lord War ;en of the Cinque Ports, in order that you might encourage others hereafter to perform their duty honestly and conscientiously in the same honourable office. It is true, and lam perfectly aware of it, that the office which I have now the honour to fill is not so efficient as it was in former times, under circumstances connected with the maritime power and resources of the country ; and I am likewise aware that the duties of that office do not necessarily bring the person who has to perform them so fre quently into reiation with the towns submitted to his jurisdic tion, as was the case in former times. But lam frequently in communication with all parts of this district ; and any thing which has relation to its local interest I am at ail times ready to attend to. To every point in which any one may think that I can render him any service, I shall be most happy to attend ; and I trust that every man who now hears me is convinced that that is the truth ; and that no one willscruple, at any time when he conceives that I can render any service to any part of the Cinque Ports, to call upon me for assistance. I beg in this, as upon other points that all considerations of party--all considerations of poli tical opinions, may be laid aside—for in all matters of public duty of this description, holding as I do this (Ace under the Crown, I consider it my duty to do every thing in my power for the service of the public, and of each indi vidual part of the country under my jurisdiction. I once more, my Lords and Gentlemon, returns thanks for the honour you have done me.—(Great cheering.) Song—Mr. Broadhurst, " And cloth not a meeting like this make amends." Viscount STRANGFORD—After the soul-stirring speech of his Noble and Learned Friend ; after the transcendent theme, rich in accumulated glories, upon which he had had the good fortune to expatiate, and to which his mighty and unrivalled eloquence had barely done justice, he (Lord Strangford) felt too sensibly how faintly and feebly any thing which he could address to the assembly could fall upon their ear. He should, therefore, confine himself strictly to the discharge of the duty which their worthy and respected Chairman had been pleased to impose on him— calling upon him to bear his humble part it: the pro ceedings of this memorable day, by proposing a toast which he was about to give, and which he most unaffectedly wished had been assigned to one better capable of doing justice to it. The toast he had to offer to their accept ance was the health of those eminent gentlemen not sub jects of our gracious Queen who had favoured them with their pre-once on this intesting oceasiora—(Cheers.) He might be al.owed to say that as an Englishmen he felt proud and happy that there should be many of those dis tinguished persons witnesses to a scene which he ventured to think could not fail to raise the country and its character 4, their estimation —( Lond cheers.) This magnificent and spontaneous display of natural, and he would add, of national duty towards the illustrious man who that day honoured them more than they could pretend to honour him—(Cheers)—this he thought set forth to advantage, or at all events displayed in a favourable point of view the character of Britons.—( Cheers.) It demonstrated that we knew how to be grateful to the hand which had secured to us the greatest, perhaps, of all the blessings we could en joy, the blessing of restored peace and concord with those powerful and enlightened States of Continental Europe from which we had been too long disunited,but many of whose dis. tinguished subjects were with them this day, and whom they were enabled to honour and hail as welcome and friendly visitants to the shores of Britain.—(Cheers.) This in estimable blessing of peace ought to be duly prized, and, under Providence, it should be remembered that the country owed it mainly to him whom it could proudly point to as its own, and who here, in the bosom of his native land, was acknowledged—reverently acknowledged —as the devoted and true-hearted servant of the Crown, the just and faithful servant of the people, the pure and spotless Statesman, the incorruptible and unpretending patriot, the fearless defender of the nation's rights in the Cabinet and the field, and the unflinching supporter of those antique institutions of this glorious realm of England under which the country had enjoyed centuries of unin vaded security and of unparalleled happiness and renown. —(Cheers.) The Noble Viscount concluded by proposing " The health of the distinguished Foreign Guests at the Cinque Ports banquet."—Chorus, " Vivc le Roi." Mr. RICE, M. P., then proposed the next toast—" Lord Minto and the Navy." He felt that no one more deeply appreciated the services of the Navy than their illustrious and honoured guest.—(Hear.) But while the deeds of Nelson only lived in their memories, the hero of Waterloo still lived to enjoy the gratitude of his countrymen._ (Hear, ;hear, hear.) lie had been the foremost to lend his valuable assistance in raising that memorial to the honour of Nelson by which a grateful nation sought to perpetuate his fames—(Hear, hear.)

Ile re gretted that Lord Hill was not present ; and he felt sure his Lordship would himself regret it, for never in his life had he seen a more brilliant assemblage than the preaent.—( Cheers.) He felt he should have been waut ing in duty had he not given them as a toast—" Lord 11W and the Army." The Duke of WELLINGON acknowledged the toast on the part of the army, and observed that he had so lately addressed them on his own part in the character of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, thanking them for the favour able reception they had given him that night as their guest at that magnificent festival, he did not and could not for get that he vas an officer of the army whose services they they had just been pleased to notice.—( Loud cheers.)

Gentleman who moved you to drink this toast, in his opi nion of the merits of the services of the army, and of their claim to your notice ; and on their part 1 beg leave, as well as upon my own, to return you their and my most grateful acknowledgments —( Cheers.) There are no men in the community more desit ous than they arc of de serving the approbation of their fellow-cit , zens—( Loud cheers)—and feeling, as I think they must do, that they have merited that approbation, I am convinced that no men can be more gratified than they are for the mariner iii which you have expressed your approbation of them. Sir FRANCIS BUREIETT rose to propose the next toast. It was his pride that he was able to lace any portion of his countrymen, from having never deviated from the strict line of duty.—( Hear. ) Having dwelt on the qualities of the Noble Duke, he said he had endeavoured, however humbly, to imitate his example, in never turning to the right or the left during the hour of danger. Although politics were excluded upon the occasion, he might congratulate the country upon this—the strong position in which she c a o p u o i t d , a r c e a d r , r y i n o e l s , m t h u e c i h r e a fr as ,air t s b , ey ith had a out the n aid of tlte Administration tra n se e t h li d a - t ant abilities of the Duke (Wellington)—( Hear, hear) — without the great talents, acknowledged by all, of the Learned Lord who hrd so recently addressed them, and without the aid of the most conspicuous business man in the House of Commons: he meant Sir Robert Peel.— ( Immense cheers.) He recollected Fox, Pitt, Wyndham, and Sheridan, and, he trusted, truly appreciated their great talents ; but he would say, with all his recollections of those great men, this country never possessed a man of more practical talent than that which was displayed in the con dnct of Sir Robert Peel.—(Loud cheers ) But there was one eminent statesman whose name he had forgotten ; as great a statesman, he would say, as any country ever produced—the Marquis Wellesley—( Loud cheers)—but one which the present Administration had o ver l oo k e d—a man in the full possession of all his faculties, and receiving from age nothing but wisdom—(Cheers)—but an Admi nistration that had the self-confidence and courage not to take the least advantage—not to avail itself, not to allow the country to avaiiitself, under any circumstances, of the greatest possible difficulty—( Hear, hear)—diffi culties of every description, did, he thought, incur a great responsibility.—( Hear, hear.) He thought that Admi nistration did incur a transcendent responsibility in leaving the country in the position in which she now is.--( Hear. hear.) He would conclude by proposing to them " The Judges of the Land."—( Hear.) Sir F. PoLLocK said that in the presence of the illustri ous Duke, and in his company no man ever felt personal or moral want, and how ever awkward he (Sir F. Pollock) might feel in his presence, yet he had no fear in speaking before him—( Hear)—on behalf of the profession to which he belonged. He thanked them for the honour that had been done to it. Viscount CANTERBURY said that the toast he bad to pro pose wa s, " The health of Lord Maryborough and the house of Wellesley."—( Loud cheers ) On his part, he felt as every Briton must feel, that history would teach publicly what marry of those present were old encugh to know—the great aid transcendent glory of the house of Wellesley. Lord MARYSOROCGIi begged leave, in the name of the house of Wellesley, to return their grateful thanks for the ma nner in which the last toast had been received. I Lord Lvennoesr rose, amidst very great cheering. The toast which he was about to propose was that of " General Sr• E. Paget, aryl the officers who had served tinder the illustrious Doke." Ile must be permitted tor a moment, though the Gallant Officer was now present, to say a few words regarding his distinguished military career. That distinguished officer was in Egypt, and commanded the 28th Regiment, which distinguished itself so much in the campaign in that remote country. In the great battle under the walls•of Alexandria th a t regiment was attacked in front by a large body of infantry, and at the same moment they were attacked in their rear by cavalry. This distin guished officer directed his men to form a double front, and after a fierce combat, they attacked on the one hand and the other, and their assailants were completely routed. The Gallant Officer served under the illustrious Duke in Spain. He commanded a brigade in the rear of the array, and protected them on the retreat from Corunna. But he came now to a more interesting period. He meant that period when the Gallant Officer served under their Illus trious guest at the passing of the Douro, one of the most celebrated exploits of the Noble Duke, at the head of a small force, and in the face of the enemy, crossed the river, and the passage was immediately followed by the rest of the army in the face of the first troops of France, commanded by the most distinguished of their Generals. He would conclude by proposing " The health of Ge neral Sir Edward Paget, and those distinguished Officers w ho gem' under the command of the Illustrious Duke." —( Loud cheers.) The toast having been enthusiastically responded to. General Sir EDWARD PAGET returned thanks. Sir E. KNATCHRULL would propose a toast which he was sure would be well received—it was " The Lords Lieutenant of Kent and Sussex."—( Loud cheers.) The Earl of BRECKNOCK returned thanks on behalf of his father, the Marquis of Camden. The Duke of WELLINGTON rose and said that he had been desired to propose to them a toast which he was con vinced it would be their anxious desire to honour. It was the health of their Chairman, the Speaker of the Cinque Ports. The SPEAKER returned thanks. After some other toasts had been drunk, The Duke of WELLINGTON rose. He had been desired to request their attention once more to propose to the assembly the last toast, that of the health of the ladies who had that day honoured them with their company. They must all be sensible of the pleasure and advantage which they had derived from their presence on the occasion. The toast was then drunk with enthusiasm. The Noble Duke and the other distinguished guests then left the Pavilion, and was crowded round by a multitude of persons, who shook hands with his Grace. The festivities were concluded shortly before eleven o'clock. THE EGLINTOUN TOURNAMENT. (From the Gia.sgetv Argus.) WEDNESDAY. The first day of the " Eglintoun Tournament"—the most splendid folly of the age—has come and gone. Noble Lords and Honourable Gentlemen have given to the world proofs of their personal prowess ; and another testi mony has been added to the value of Aristocratic wisdom, the former we never questioned —the amount of the latter has been placed beyond dispute. In the 19th century, re markable for the triumphs that have been achieved in the cause of human improvement, and the enlightenment of the human mind, the hereditary wisdom of the nation could indi. cate the quality of its intellect and the natere of its tastes only by a senseless imitation of the mere tinsel and the show of one of the vainest exhibitions of a barbaric age. We say the tinsel and the show, for in the fooleries, which yesterday were enacted within the compass of Eglintoun Park, the reader must not suppose that any thing of the real cha racter or spirit of chivalry was exhibited—any thing that could body forth to the eye of the spectator that proud de fiance, and bold and manly daring, and unbending hardi hood, which were the life and soul of chivalry in its proudest aspects, and which formed the highest and most striking characteristic of the institution. Such a revival of the best days of chivalry might have been fraught with danger to the sacred persons of our modern Barons ; and therefore the courtesies of the peaceful Tournament, the mimic representations of actual combat were chosen as the only scenes on which their ladies might dare to look, or unsworn knighthood dare to practise. Herein we think the assembled chivalry of E glintoun sho wed their wisdom. If this lack ofsympathy with the enlightened pursuits and nobler aspiration of the age could point out to them no pastime more intellectual than that of mimicking the barbarities and ab surdities of bygone centuries, they did well in selecting that which was least absurd, least barbarous, and least dangerous to themselves ; but here our commendation must end. In every view, the whole exhibition, so far as it has gone. has sustained the character we prophesied of it—a piece of unmitigated folly—folly, it is true (and so much the worse), on a large and gorgeous scale—hung round and adorned with all the splendour that rank, and wealth, and the glitter of ornament, can furnish, and perhaps not unaccompanied by something of the romance which the poetry of the past can conjure up ; but still, in the broad view, unmitigated, irretrievable folly. To inquire into the " why and the wherefore " of the strange, although gorgeous spectacle of yesterday, is, perhaps, needless ; but it may not be unprofitable to ask if the present time, above all others, is not especially unfitted for such a display of senseless pageantry? Is not enough occurring every day already to call into play questions affecting the privileges of the aristocracy—but must they give additional cause of discontent, by exhi. biting, in the face of an enlightened, though suffering people, the wastefulness of their prodigality, and the bar barity of their tastes, if not the inferiority of their intel lectual position. When all has been admitted, plain and sensible people will turn aside from the glittering gaities of Eglintoun, and a deeper shade of reflection will pass over their brows, as they contemplate the poverty and the wretchedness which lie unrelieved over the length and the breadth of the land. People, who see no moral beauty in restoring barbarous pastimes, will begin to speculate upon the benefits which an enlightened arid well educated aristocracy might confer upon society; they will sum up the good which might flaw to the country from an intellectual Peerage, taking the lead in all great and beneficial improvements, promoting education, and encouraging the arts and sciences—taking commerce by the hand, or rather, as matters are, letting it alone—pointing out the way to the advancement of agri culture—ameliorating the institutions of the State—aiding, by influence and example, in the spread of religion—peo ple, we say, will speculate upon these things, and while they acknowledge the right of every man "to do as he likes with his own," they will sigh over the folly which could expend thousands on the vain and even hurtful exhi bitions at Eglintoun, and never pass a thought on some glo rious project for hastening on the enlargement of the hu man mind. Nor did the vast preparations for the Tourney end here. Not to speak of the sawdust which was laid deep, yielding soft repose to unhorsed Knights, and which therefore natu rally falls to be included under the head " luxuries," it was becoming that something should be had to grace forth the banqueting table. For this important end, then, there arrived at Eglintoun two weeks ago, first among all the strangers, and therefore the " first fashionable arrival," six turtles direct from the East Indies, attended by their French cook (a refined species of cruelty by the way) powdered like a Lord, and who, in passing down the ri. ver, gave both himself and his crawling charge, the benefit of a cabin passage, as we find duly recorded in all the Journals of the day. Next came fat bucks and fatter bul. locks, game in abundance, with fish of the sea, and fowl of the air—. " Fowls a la Conde, slices eke of salmon, With sauces, Geneviases, and haunch of venison." Fruiis, spices, foreign and domestic, with every produce of garden and greenhouse, from the vulgar cabbage to the sweetest nectarine, " And then there was Champaigne with foaming whirls, As white as Cleopatra's melted pearls." In truth, the provision for the carnal appetites of the chi valry of Eglintoun was such as must have satified the desire of the most thorough epicurist. A peep into the kitchen, we have been informed, was none of the least remarkable sights of the day ; and, in the estimation of many, much more gratifying than the whole of the tilting in the park. Two or three large apartments were literally stuffed with venison, beef, poultry, and game of every description ; spits were turning in every quarter—cooks, of all shades, from the powdered French gentleman, already honoured by especial notice, downwards, were, right and left, busy with their mysteries—and the very savour of their handi work was almost sufficient to satisfy the cravings of tho hungriest pauper in Ayrshire. The sight •f plenty for the board is always gratifying, but, on looking at the abun dance of Eglintoun, one could scarcely help contrasting it with the penury and want which have caused " cleanness of teeth" in the families of thousands, whose bread has been made dear by aristocratic legislation. The preparations,so long and so loudly made, and so much talked of in the newspapers, naturally led people to ex pect that everything would be in the most complete state of readiness for the tournament, long before the period ar rived. The case was, however, far otherwise. Up to the very moment when the pageantry was announced to commence, nothing but confusion and disorder prevailed. Everything had been begun, but scarcely one single thing was finished. As a proof of which we may state, that, at the moment the procession of the Knights, &c. was winding through the grounds, the sound of the hammer was heard in almost every part of the tilting-ground. The greatest diffi culty was experienced in fitting the Knights and their Esqrs. with their proper pieces of armour and the fitting articles of dress ; and we understand that in several instances gross incongruities were the consequence. Some of the Esquires were forced, in the hurry and confusion, to put on articles of finery belonging to the 15th century, over costumes of the 13th or 14th century, et vice versa, but, in point of fact, these mistakes were scarcely observed, if indeed ob served at all ; the spectators and the wearers looked quite as well, we believe, the one way as the other. We need not say that " the gathering" on this occasion was im mense. Fur several days before the Tournament began, strangers of every degree were pouring into the Vale of Cunninghame, also into the whole of Ayrshire, as well as into the adjoining Island of Arran, and the Great and Lit tle Cumbraes. The towns of Ayr, Ardrossan, Salcoats, Troon, Kilwinning, and Irvine were, however, especially favoured as being, in point of situation, more convenient to the scene of attraction. But the most decided run was made upon the town of Irvine, which, as may be found re corded in all the Gazttteers, is not a place to be despised, " a Royal Burgh, the seat of a Presbytery, a sea-port, and capital of the parish of its name." We question if the old burgh was ever so densely peopled before ; almost every house, high and low, from the minister's manse to the beadle's " but an' ben," and from the mansion of the Pro. vest to the cellar of the town-drummer, was filled by strangers, who secured them either by hire, or were en joying the favour of their host's hospitality. k was amusing, for some days before the tournament, to hear honest and industrious burghers of Irvine exulting over the windfalls of fortune which the immense influx of strangers into the " gude toun" had thrown in their way ; and good cause had many of them to rejoice, for, it. the eagerness to procure lodgings, strangers had in m,ny cases agreed to pay 5/., 101., 151., and, if report speaks true, in some as high as 201., and 301. for one week ; in numerous cases, 15i. and 16s. was paid for one night. Indeed, for the last eight days, the borough has been the constant scene of festivity; the Marymas fair, which, with its attendant jollities, occupied the greater part of last week, baring been rendered more than usually jovial by the near prospect of the expected Tournament. The unwonted number of gallants, who paraded the streets, was of itself a source of no small enjoyment to the fair sempstresses of Irvine ; and a stranger, in threading his way along the Kirkgate, (which, by the way, the lamented Galt described as at one period having some resemblance to the ether world, where there was " neither marrying nor giving in marriage,") might have seen fair faces peep ing curiously from the casements, scanning closely the bearing and the countenance of every successive lounger, whose appearance indicated that he had not, as yet, fallen into the trap of matrimony. But gay and animated as Irvine was before the 28th, its gaiety and animation bore no comparison with the flood of beauty, fashion, and gallantry which burst upon it, and the adjoining park of Eglintoun, upon the long promised day. Leaving the rationality or irrationality of the occasion which called them together out of the question, it were needless to deny that Eglintoun yesterday witnessed a truly overwhelming mass of human beings, of all ages and of all ranks, from the peer to the peasant, and from the grey-haired patriarch leaning on his staff, to the rebellious little rogue of a few years, who, setting all threats of the strap at defiance, had escaped from the confinement of home to witness the child's play of grown-up men. Of course, this brilliant chimera attracted towaris it the especial regards of the high-born of the land, and a numerous band of the aristrocacy were, and are accordingly assembled at Eglintoun and the neighbourhood. The most conspicuous of these, from the position which they hold on the occa sion, are the King and Queen of the Tournament—the former high and important office being held by the Marquis of Londonderry, and the latter by Lady Seymour, daugh ter-in-law of the Duke of Somerset, and a gland-daughter, we believe, of the great Sheridan. Perhaps the third most remarkable personage among all those who came to " vow the service of their swords," or rather, we should say, the service of their wooden poles, ..is the Marquis of Waterford, the only knight who deigned to ride along the Queen's highway in the costume of chivalry. The Noble Marquis found Englintoun-park too small for his purpose, and full of knight-errantry, ho, on Tuesday night, in full armour, rode into the town of Irvine in search of exploi!s, but returned without performing any decd at all worthy of his former character, either for daring or devilry. Unfortunately for the sight-seers on this occasion, the day turned out, after twelve o'clock, exceedingly wet. and in consequence • the effect of the pageantry was much impaired.. • The sky had lowered a little during the whole of the morning, but no rain fell till the hour we have mentioned, - which was a considerable time before the COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Serene Highness the Duke Ferdi nand of Saxe Cobourg, and her Serene Highness the Princess Victoiro of Saxe Cobourg, left Buckingham Pa lace for Windsor Castle, at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, in an open landau and four, with outriders, in scarlet liveries. •tedby a iarty of Li ht Dra oons.

Tourney began, and occasionally niece were bright gleams of sunshine. The morning tai indeed a very romising' one, and thousands eag er for the Tourney hailed it with delight, both on sea and land. Scarce had the first streak of light trembled along the ;PR than over its surface might be seen numberless skiffs, steamett, and open oar boats making their way for the ports of Ardros san and Ayr, from every point of the compass. Large steamers freighted from Belfast, Liverpool, Szc., landed hundreds of passengers from the sister Kingdoms; the neighbouring islands of Arran and the Cumbracs poured forth their inhabitants ; while from Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, &c., and the whole range of the crescent formed coast, reaching from the towers of Culzean to the port of Ardrossan, steam-boats, which might accurately be numbered by dozens, bore a crowd of population to the near vicinity of the Tournament. From an early hour, say seven o'clock in the morning, people on horse, in vehicle, and on foot, began to move in a perpetual stream towards Eglintoun Castle, along the road from Irvine, and continued to do so during the whole of the forenoon. The number of equipages vas surprising; but fancy dresses were far from being so plentiful as we antici pated, even upon the Grand Stand. The dresses of the gentlemen, not in plain clothes, were chiefly of the 15th and 16th century, while the ladies seemed generally to have followed the costume of the Court of the unfortunate Mary. Amongst the crowd spread over the park, bonnets and plaids were very common, with here and there a fancy dress ; but the great mass appeared in their ordinary holiday clothing. About 12 o'clock, a party of 60 from Dunoon, chiefly composed of Glasgow ladies and gentlemen, and headed by Mr. William Campbell, walked into one of the stands, at tended by a band of music. The Highland dress, little to the credit of their taste, was rather prevalent among them ; but some very handsome costumes were nevertheless sported by the company. The appearance of those in kilts is described as highly ludicrous, some of them, while in the steam-boat, wearing great-coats to protect their lower men from the inclemency of the weather. How melancholy that so many of our fellow-citizens should have doomed them selves to the sorrows of a drenching for the sake of the paltry exhibition of yesterday I The position and arrangemement of the lists have been already more than once described in the newspapers. The site chosen for the tournament Has a beautifully situated piece of level ground, about three minutes' walk north east of the castle, delightfully fringed with wood. The tilting yard was sn oblong square, about 650 feet long, and 250 wide; in the centre was the barrier, a firm wooden erection, 300 feet long, and four feet six inches in height. Directly opposite the barrier was erected the grand stand, a handsome chaste erection in the Grecian style, many of the • decorations of which had been used at her Majesty's Coronation. In the centre of the grand stand, which held 700, was placed an elegant chair for the " Queen of Love and Beauty," sur mounted by a gorgeous canopy. On each side of the canopy were handsome pilastres, gilt, with the cornices beautifully carved and gilt, and folds of blue silk hanging between the pilastres. The whole front was decorated with gilt ornaments, over a ground of crimson cloth. The scats were also covered with crimson. The grand stand was flanked on either side by two large stands for the accommodation of 600 persons each ; while on the opposite side of the lists was placed a small stand for 60, for the accommodation of the press. Round the lists stood the knights' tents, and marquees, covered with striped oil-cloth of various colours, according to the tastes of their various owners. At a short distance from the barrier on each side were stances, containing the lances for the knights, and at one side of the extremities of the yard, there was placed upon a pedestal the " quintain," a huge model of the human figure in wood, placed upon a pivot, so as to revolve, if not struck fairly in the centre by the lances of the knights. We need scarcely mention, what is already so well known, that the lists, for the safety of unhorsed knights (if any such there should be), were covered with sawdust six feet deep. It was announced that the procession was to leave Eg lintoun Castle at one o'clock ; but it was nearly two before the whole could be arrayed in proper order. When it began to rain heavily, the idea of the Queen of Beauty ( Lady Sey mour) preceeding on horseback, as had been arranged, was abandoned, and her Ladyship and her attendant maids of honour, went to the lists in carriages. This spoiled the effect of the procession very much, and was a good deal lamented. The following is the order of the proces sion, as laid down, though, from the reason we have stated, deviated from as regards the Queen of the Tournament : PROCESSION. Men at Arms, in demi Suitsof Armour and Costumes. Musicians in rich costumes of Silks—their Horses trapped and caparisoned. Trumpeters, in full costume—the Trumpet and Banners emblazoned with the Arms of the Lord of the Tour nament. Banner Bearers of the Lord of the Tournament. TWO Deputy Marshals, in costumes, on horses capari soned. Attendants on foot. The Eglintoun Herald, in a Tabard, richly embroidered. Two Pursnivants, in emblazoned Surcoats. The Judge of Peace—(Lord SALTOUN,) in his Robes, and bearing a \%'and, on a horse richly caparisoned. Retainers on foot, in costumes, carrying heavy steel Battle Axes. Officer of the Halberdiers, on horseback, in a suit of demi Armour, with a Gilt Partizan. Halberdiers, on foot, in liveries of the Lord, carrying their halberds. Men at Arms, in demi suits of armour.

The banners were drenched, and had a soiled and flag ging appearance, while the plumes of the Knights hung in " faded glory" over the helmets of their wearers. The very horses had a demure aspect—the spectators were dreadfully " cowed," and, though the procession was, notwithstanding all this, the best part of the exhi bition, saving always the grand stand, its recep tion along the line, and in the lists, was inexpressibly cold. The cheering was feeble—feeble ; and the pre sence of Lord Eglintoun, as he rode along, seemed the only circumstance that could call forth anything like a hearty hurrah from the onlookers. His Lordship, who sustained the character of " Lord of the Toernatnent," wore a splendid suit of armour, which was, in a manner, covered with gold, and richly chased. His horse, though not a powerful animal, was a very spirited one, and richly caparisoned in cloth of blue and gold. The Noble Earl seemed to take greatdelight in caracoling round the lists, and was, as we have already stated, received everywhere with cheers. The King •of the Tournament, Lord London derry, was the most uncourtly looking knight in the field. His Lordship certainly does not appear to much advantage on horseback, whatever may be tho value of his senatorial qualities in the House of Lords. He leaned towards the mane of his horse very much in the posture of a person seLo had never been on horseback before. and w ho was afraid lest, at every movement of the animal, he should be thrown in the mud. He sported a robe of black velvet, over a lower dress of ermine, and wore his Coronet set with variegated plumes ; but his appearance altogether was exceedingly homely. In plain dress his Lordship has a venerable look. The Marquis of Waterford, who appeared as the Knight of the Dragon, had the oldest armour in the field, being of the reign of Richard the Third. It was a suit of polished steel, .fluted. His horse was caparisoned in blue and white. Lord Glenlyon, the Knight of Gael, was of course attended by his Athol " followers," a body of men whom it would be difficult to match in this or any other country. It was, however, rather difficult to ac count for this Celtic appendage to a Tournament, as we believe no instance can be given in which either Highlander or Lowlander ever appeared in the Highland dress at a Tourney before. This, however, amid so much that was ridiculous, we regard as a matter of little or no moment. The other Knights, it is needless to refer to more particu larly than will be found in the account of the procession. The tilting was then commenced; and, in all conscience, a sorry enough affair it was. Two Knights ran towards each other, at a very moderate pace indeed, and attempted to poke each other with their poles, misnamed lances, in a manner so utterly harmless that a child need scarcely have dreaded the encounter. The poles appeared to be made of the most frangible wood that could be got, and they generally fell in two at a very slight stroke. Not a single Knight was unhorsed, or even made to reel in his saddle, and the soft saw-dust might very well have been dis pensed with. But to proceed to particulars:—The first Knights who encountered each other were—" The Knight of the Swan," the Hon. Mr. Jerningham, and " the Knight of the Red Rose," J. R. Lechmere, Esq. Having taken their places at the extreme ends of the bar rier, the Knights advanced upon each other (one running along each side of the barrier), and met near the centre when the Knight of the Swan brought his lance to bear upon the helmet of his opponent, breaking the lance by the stroke. The combatants both rode on to the end of the barrier, opposite to that from which they started, and again took up their position, a new lance having been put into Mr. dereingham's hand by his Esquire. A second ren contre took place in the same way as before, but nothing decisive occurred ; the combatants passed each other very harmlessly, and at the end of the barrier the armour which covered the neck and head of the Knight of the Swan's horse flew off upon the sawdust. This was the only inci. dent e orthy of notice in the first tilt. Next appeared the Earl of Eglintoun, Lord of the Tour nament, and the Marquis of Waterford, Knight of the Dragon. In the first encounter, Eglintoun came tilt upon the shield of his opponent, but without producing any ef fect; the Marquis kept his seat notwithstanding. A se coed course followed, when the Earl broke his lance over the iron head of the Marquis, which was of course nothing the worse for it. This was thought., however, a decided I hit on the part of the Noble Earl; and the combat was ended—the Earl of Eglintoun being the victor. His Lordship, attended by his Esquires and Pages, then rode to the front of the canopy on the Grand Stand, and made a lowly obeisance to the Queen of Beauty, who kindly awarded praises to the "gentle Knight" for his knightly behaviour. The next display of chivalry was made by Sir P. Hop kins, " the Knight of the Burping Tower," and Mr. Lech mere, " the Knight of the Red Rose." In the first en counter the Knight of the Red Rose snapped his spear over the helmet of his opponent, who rode on scatheless to the end of the barrier. In the second course the Knight of the Burning Tower performed what was considered a ornfas;lek-pLicecechmote'rtei,ltainngd, mbyakdinisgluidtg!npgin phairgthofintthoe the air. P. Hopkins e l x 'h h i i s b i rc ti a o s n. d c A e h t l h e i d r l d y o t n h e s e h t a t r o d o e k st p h la i c t e m , v‘adheendurng Siri the whole broke his lance over the shield of Mr. Lechmere ; and was the victor. Ile then made his obeisance to the Queen of Beauty, and received the acknowledgments due from the fair to the brave. Lord Glenlyon, the Knight of the Gael, was then met by Lord Alford, the " Knight of the Black Lion." The first course was a miss ; the second, ditto. In the third course, the Knight of the Gael smote the phonies from the helmet of the Black Lion ; and the Black Lion, in return, broke to , an rone of B his lance over the Gael; but on what p art of the armour the tilt fell we did not observe. Lord Alford was the se c e t a o u r t , y a d 3 , l a , lasso,ing received acknow ledgment of his kni g htl y 'haviour. A harmless com bat with the two-handed sword here riedd duew .ith ho a ma s g meile thae an Throne took place, between a Mr. Mackay, an actor, and a soldier, when Mackay was declared victor. The fifth display of tilting brought once more upon the lists the Marquis of Waterford and my Lord Alford. This combat differed in nothing from the former • Waterford ded him as a goo d an d coura geous' b ro ke the most lances, and w as th e v i ctor. The Queen the tilting en d e d f or th e day ; the po kofnigßleaa;utayndeomhemreen pular opinion, so far as we could gather it, being, that a greater piece of humbug was never practised in the open air in Scotland. Long before the tilting was concluded, the immense assemblage had begun to disperse. It rained heavily the whole time, and the exhibition was not possessed of suffi cient interest to induce them to sec it out. Even the stands which flanked the grand stand were nearly emptied, and many of the occupants of the latter had also taken heave. Lady Seymour left the ground as she had entered it in her carriage. The departure of the Queen was a signal for the Knights, &c. to do so likewise, and they leit the lists in the most confused way imaginable. We omitted to mention that the Irvine Archers were in attendance at the stand, during the proceedings, es guard to the Queen of the Tournament. They were very hand somely dressed, a la Robin Hood, and presented, with their bows and arrows, rather an imposirg appearance. We have also omitted to notice a droll looking personage called the Jester, who was dressed in a comical costume, and rode about the lists, s a 3 jog many droll things, whi c h. most unfortunately however, so far as we have heard, m a d e nobody v l a e urdyg lIT. shortwy as entirely cleared ; time after th e de p arture of the Knights the ground day ViaLA D 's fooleries at Eglintoun AGATELLE ! _Castle.and thus ended the first It is proper to s tate that the Earl of Egli n t oun s h ow ed, on this occasion, the greatest anxiety to accommodate the press ; but through the carelessness of some person or Other on whom the duty of providing it devolved, consider able difficulty was eliperienced both in getting accommo dation and the mean; of admission to it,. - 1 41 N I NG EDITION:,
