IRELAND. The following circular has been addressed to the Irish Magistracy : " DUBLIN CASTLE, JULY 5, 18:32.—Numerous viola tions of the law relating to unlawful assemblies having re cently occurred, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has deemed it expedient, with reference to the Circular Let ters addressed to the Magistrates of Ireland in December, 1830, by the Right Hon. E. G. Stanley; and in February, 1831, by me, to direct me to offer some remarks and sug.. gestiens which are considered applicable to the subject. " An extensive confederacy has been formed for the pur pose of resisting, or rendering abortive, all legal remedies for the recovery of tithes. Whether the means employed for the accomplishment of these objects be actual violence or intimidation, it cannot be doubted that they are illegal, and that the most prompt and effectual measures should be adopted to counterixt and suppress them. " I have, therefore, to recall your attention to this 4)- ject, and to remind you that the assembling of bodies of persons, which from their general appearance and accom panying circumstances are calculated to excite terror and alarm, is criminal and unlawful. You cannot fail to ob serve how directly this description applies to meetings whose vast numbers, sudden and concerted formation, de monstrate the existence of a previous conspiracy, seeking to attain its ends by the exhibition and array of great phy sical force, and the intimidation which it is calculated to inspire. The conduct and demeanour of the persons thus collected, the sounding of horns and shouting, the display of fligs, boughs, and ether emb!ems, the expressions of determination to frustrate the law, and threats against those who refuse to associate with them, clearly characte rize these meetings as inconsistent with the good order and tranquillity which it is the object of the law to insure. From the same criminal source have arisen the erection of mounds and signals, and other means of excitement, which are so frequently and so successfully practised. " You will further observe, that meetings convened for strictly legal purposes may, notwithstanding, b e so conducted as to acquire the character of illegal assemblies Should it appear to you questionable, on occasions of this kind, whether the law has been violated, your most prudent course will be to cause the persons who have taken an active part in the proceedings to be identified, to have informations sworn, detailing the particulars of their conduct, and that of the other persons assembled, and to transmit them to the Chief Secretary or me, foe the purpose of being submitted to the Law Officer; of the Crown . . " A recurrence of meetings bearing such unequivocal marks of illegality as have been described will render it incumbent upon Magistrates to exert all the powers with which the law invests them to suppress the mischief, ant. bring the guilty to punishment, " Their eff,rts fur this important purpose will receiv , from his Majesty's Government the utmost assistance and support. " 1 have the honour to be, " Your most obedient humble Servant, "WILLIAM GOSSETT." The family of Mr. CHARLES WYNN in, heels plunged into mourning by the death of Lis eldest ion, HENRY WATKIN, who expired at his father's house Grafton-street, on Monday, in the 16th year of his age. THE KING'S LEVEE. Yesterday, at twenty minutes before two o'clock, hi. Majesty, attended by Lord Clinton, arrived at St. James's Palace in his travelling carriage, escorted by a party of Light Horse.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the entertainmen to he given by the city . of London to Eirl Grey and the rest of his Maj.sty's Ministers, together with all the Members of both Houses of Parliament who have con- tributed to promote the cause of Reform. The festival was to celebrate the success of that great measure, and it was prepared with all that pomp and splendour for which the festivals of the city of Loud9n have long been cele brated. Connected with the feast was the resolution of the Common Council, lately passed, to conf r the freedom of the City on Earl Grey and Lord Althorp, and the ceremony took place before dinner. It was the first part of the proceedings. The company began to arrive as early as four o'clock, and by half past four there was a great number of persons assemblt d. CEREMONY OF CONFERRING THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY ON FAR T, ORF.V AND LORD ALTHORP. The Court of Common Council assembled precisely at half-past four o'clock, and the Hall of the Common Council was crowded at the time with a great numb,r of the Nobility and Members of the House of Commons, among whom we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Richmond, Earl Grey, Lord Al thorp, Lord John Russell, Sir James Graham, Mr. Stan ley, &c. The Court had unfortunately to wait for upwards of half an hour for the Lord Mayor, whose absence created a considerable degree of surprise and some uneasiness. Various rumours were in circulation to account for this. n general it was said that the Lord Mayor had been down to Gloucester, and had not returned. his locum tenons, Alderman Thorp, was also absent, the cause of which was said to he a fall from his gig. Considerable impatience was manif-sted. At a quarter past five Mr. Alderman Thorp made his appearance, and the business of the Court was immediately begun by the minutes of the last Court being read. Among them was the resolution of the last Court, agreeing to petition Parliament in favour of a more extensive Reform for Ireland. Ministers were obliged con. sequently to go through what we thought was rather a penance, of hearing at great length the sentiments of the Court of Common Council, somewhat at variance with them on the measure. After the minutes had been read, the Lord Mayor entered and took his seat. The ceremony of giving the freedom then began, by Earl Grey and Lord Altlinrp raking their seats at the table. An attestation, signed by Alderman Wood, Mr. C. Pearson, and several other citizens was read, testifying that Lords Grey and Althorp were persons of good repute, honesty, &c., at which the Court generally smiled. The CITY CHAMBERLAIN then read the usual oath taken by freemen, including promises to share all the charges of the city, not to take apprentices for more than seven years, to reveal all conspiracies to the King, not to go to conventicler, &c. at which there was a general titter. The two Noble Lords took the oath with great solemnity, and seemed to us to feel as if they were quite awed by their situation. When we saw these two high and dis tinguished Noblemen, one wielding the destinies of the nation, and the other standing at the head of the House of Commons, trembling almost like schoolboys, for they did tremble, we could not help remarking how insignificant, how trifling is the greatest amongst us in the presence of a tnultitude of our fellow-creatures. The mob strike terror into all, and this is the secret of the Tory anathemas against the mob. After the oath was administered, which these Noblemen seemed to us to take almost with as much awe as if they were young men just taking out their free dom, the City Chamberlain read the following address to Earl Grey : " My Lord Grey—the late Lord Grey, your Lord ship's gallant father, won the honours of the peerage and the freedom of London, by his brilliant conquests for his country, in the West Indies. In a different career, not less illustrious, his son has given his name to fame as the author and finisher of the Reform Bill, the People's Charter. From early life your Lordship never ceased to advocate the wisdom anti necessity of improving the system of our parliamentary representation, as the best means of serving your country, by uniting the hearts of the people in support of the Constitution. In this endeavour, you had the cooperation of many of the greatest names and highest authorities which have adorned this or any other country. It was reserved, however, for these tinaes,under your Lordship's auspices as, Minister of the Crown, with the sanction and approval of an enlightened Sovereign, to propose a measure to Parliament, so conservative in its principle and satisfactory in its details, as to have been received with enthusiasm by a large majority of all classes of the community, in every part of the United Kingdom. This great measure, atter long and searching discussion in both Houses of Parliament, and under difficulties, at some periods, of no ordinary character, has now passed into a law ; and most anxiously and earnestly do I express my hope, and send up my ardent prayer to Heaven, that the good contemplated from it may be effective in renovating the pur.: spirit of our representation, and preserving to the most remote period of time, the blessings of our happy Constitution of King, Lords, and Commons, which the experience of ages has proved to be the wisest and the best system of Government, for individual happiness and pub lic strength and security, which the wit of man ever con ceived." At the close of it, the City Chamberlain, Sir Jams Shaw, presented the freedom of the City to the Noble Earl, in a very handsome gold box, valued at one hundred guineas. Earl GREY dim rose and said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, never on any occasion did I feel myself so hadequate to the performance of that duty which wil' naturally be expected from me as on this ; and I must, in the first place, entreat you, my Lord Mayor and Gentle men, not to measure by the inadequacy of my expressions the deep and heartfelt and overpowering sense which I entertain of the high honour you have this day conferred upon me—for I must consider it an honour of the highest distinction to receive from the ancient Corporation of this great metropolis the privilege of being enrolled amongst the number of its freemen. To show that it is a high honour, it is not necessary for me to do more than state that it has been conferred by a body whose ancient emi nence and present splendour are universally admitted ; whose exertions and example have contributed, in a most material degree, to extend the commerce, to promote the prosperity, and to establish the power of this great country ; and which is not less distinguished for loyalty to a constitutional King—(Cheers)--than for a lave of liberty, never more conspicuously manifested than in the events which we have lately witnessed, and which: has earnestly and constantly supported the true principles which form the strength of our Consti tuti,,n. To have received from such a body the honour which has now been conferred. upon me I must therefore consider to be one of the proudest distinctions of my life, and in adding my name to a list on which, as the Chamberlain said, it must be a satisfaction to me to reflect that the name of my father was enrolled, and which contains, amongst those upon whom the same privileges have been bestowed, the most illustrious names which grace and distinguish the annals of their country. That honour has been conferred upon Commanders who have led your fleets and armies to victory —upon Ssatesmen who, by their labours and their counsels, have promoted the psos perity and extended the power of this great country— upon Legislators who have supported in Parliament those constitutional principles upon which the liberties of the people depend, and who have improved the laws and se cured the liberties of their fellow-subjects. To be added to ►hat glorious list is, no doubt, a high and proud distinction ; but I confess it is accompanied by one painful sensation, for it is impossible for me to look back upon my own conduct, and not to feel how disproportioned is the honour which has been bestowed upon me to any merits of mine. —(No, no.) I might, indeed, urge one claim, which has been alluded to in terms highly gratify.. ing to me—namely, my having uniformly and constantly, supported the principles upon which that great measure has been accomplished. On all accounts I must feel a proud satisfaction in being this day presented to you as one of your fellow-freemen. This great distinction is in creased in the present instance beyond the occasions on which it has ordinarily been conferred, because to me it is a pride and a high gratification that my efforts have con duced, however feeble, in any degree to the successful issue' of the great cause in which we have laboured together. That great measure is now accomplished—the Reform Bill is become the law of the land. lam perfectly aware that my share in the accomplishment of that measure is com paratively small, but lam no less happy at the result. Its success has been achieved by the zealous and powerful co operation of those by whom I have been assisted ; and, above all, by the almost unanimous support of a generous people, without whose support and assistance that measure could not have been brought to a successful termination.— (Cheers.) It is to the exertions of the people themselves, under the sanction which has been given to it by a bene ficent Sovereign—who, I trust, will ever live, as he de s-rues, in the affections of his people—(Cheers)—that the successful accomplishment of that measure may be ascribed. That it has been accomplished on those prin ciples referred to by the Chamberlain is to me a most sa tisfactory reflection, for I have no doubt that you, gentle men, who are present, will agree that those are the true principles upon which the constitution of this country is founded, and which have produced greater happiness amongst us than was to be found in any other country. No other principles than those would I uphold.—(Cheers.) I trust that this measure will be found, io the words of the Chamberlain, truly a conservative measure, and that the operation of the Bill will effect a full, fair, and free representation of the people, securing the liberties of the subject, and insuring good government, thus affording the best practical refutation of the re proaches and calumnies and sinister predictions as to the calamities and dangers with which the measure was said to be fraught, and which have been urged in order to deter the people from supporting or consenting to a mea sure which was to remove the abuses that alone blemished the Constitution under which they derived their rights— abuses injurious to their true interests, and incompatible with their rights.—(Cheers.) My Lord Mayor and Gen tlemen, I can only add, from a full and glowing heart, the repetition of my thanks for the high honour which has been done me ; and to the Chamberlain also I must beg to offer my acknowledgements for the very graai• fying terms in which the distinction has been conferred. —(Loud Cheers.) The CHAMBERLAIN then addressed Lord Althorp as follows : "My Lord Althorp, the bearer of an illustrins name, the heir of a noble fortune, the son of a venerable statesman, who in a time of singular difficulty wielded the naval energies of England with such wisdom and success as to have entitled him to the lasting gratitude of his country ; to this lofty inheritance your Lordship has ' added lustre, by having devoted your mind, and your in fluence, as leader in the Commons, to the cure of those blots, and blemishes, and anomalies in the Representation, which the lapse of time, the advancement of knowledge, and the generally diffused wealth of the country had ren dered indispensable. The Reform Bill, in its liberal pro visions, was the cure, in the view of the Government, re echoed by the people, for those evils ; and this Bill, hap pily for the peace of the country, has passed into a law. The conscientious scruples and fears of those opposed to this great change are to be respected ; hut, assuredly, great good will flow from it. The people will derive from it the blessing and benefit of five representation, and the aristocracy the opportunity and gratification of becoming more intimately acquainted with the virtues of the people. Mutual good will cannot fail to arise out of such a state of things ; comfort and contentment amongst the peop•e must speedily follow ; and let it never be forgotten, that the happiness of the people, whilst it forms the best proof of the wisdom of our instituticns, will ever be found the surest bulwark of their permanent duration. Amidst the conflict of party, during the protracted discussions on this measure, under circumstances frequently of high excitement, the temper, discretion, judgment, awl conciliatory conduct of your Lordship have been above all praise, and obtained for you, to use the languarge of a gallant and talented opponent, ' the unqualified admira tion of all that witnessed it;' and I may he allowed truly to say, that i❑ this sentiment, the city of London and the whole country fully participate." At the conclusion of the address, the Chamberlain presented the freelom of the city to Lord Althorp, also in a gold box of 100 guineas value. Lord ALTHour then said—My Lord Mayor and Gen a:men, I feel the greatest possible difficulty in being able adequately to thank you for the very high honour which you have conferred upon me. I believe you are perfectly well aware that from me you must not expect an eloquent speech, and that all I can do is simply, frankly, and sin cerely, to express the great gratification I feel at having received the approbation of such a body of my fellow-coun trymen as the freemen of this great City, distinguished as much by love of liberty, as by its generous and enlight ened sentiments.—(llear.) It is impossible for me not to feel an additional gratification from the reflection, that the circumstances which have led you to confer upon me this high and distinguished honour, however undeserved, is, that Parliament has succeeded in effecting a measure cal culated to insure a full, fair, and free representation of the people. Gentlemen, I have long been an eager advo cate of such a measure. I have long been an advocate of it, when I saw no hope whatever of succeeding._ (Loud cheering.) It is highly gratifying to me, there fore, that the time when I have received this honour is distinguished by the success of a measure essential to the best interests of the country, and without which the people of this country could have no effectual security for their rights and liberties. If I may be allowed to say so, it is even an additional satisfaction to me of no small amount, that in receiving this honour my name has been coupled with that of my Noble Friend.—(Cheers.) It is gratifying to me that in the records of this great city, my name will stand by the side of his to whom I have looked up through the whole course of my political life as my could not pattern and my example, and that that record should . he g the ex m c c e t p le t , accompanied by the accomplishment of a measure to which na m se y s stef Noble to linelFy country. t i ol e iu n ena d tn , :y a .s of w sG e e unrtaiisne Gentlemen, t y b, , s e e ohassp:e Chamberlainrl i o t o y k a e d nd l forward ,ap.ai: that a i l d t v c o e l d a a e I o eo f have m e P o a:c u e t c e n t d t of eloquence or ability to attain my hope by any exertion that p e b b: i y e a a l n u l y o s e t f h o in nothing extraordinary in . a man ofnga prepared • t measure to which the utmost perseverance infavour. • d of his life lie has constantly looked object , but could only trust to p b e e r i severane a e r , ed an t d o tehxehriebiis for so long a perm feltp expect, c e t s , reenstslemmyenf,eellinsgtas?tedbuattl t e it i e outset my inade. could lhknewc i if only say, that it , I : ,u i ra ll veYa l r ie tdo. to ex m Gp e a source of pride to the last day I have to live, that I have received the approbation and the freedom of this great city, accompanied by circumstances so satis factory and so gratifying as those to which I hive alluded. It was moved and ordered that the address, a of the k : t city Chamberlain si,ould be printed and entered on the minutes. THE DINNER. Immediately after the ceremony of making these two illustrious Noblemen citizens of London had been com pleted, the company adjourned to the Guildhall, where the tables were laid out in readiness, and sat down to a sumptuous dinner. About 800 guests were present, and about 500 of them were Members of the two Houses of Parliament, embracing most of wh it is now illustrious is the law!. 01 course, the Lord Mayor presided. On his right was the Duke of Sussex, and on his left the Lord Chancellor, while long rows of other Noblemen and Senators filled the tables across the Esst end of the Halls and the raised hustings, which, like the days of our ances tors, is w a illy set ap irt for the most illustrious of the L'trd Mayor's guests. The noble building was worthy of such a splendid company. The whole of the masonry and stone ornaments of this ancient and venerable Hill so full of numerous historical associations, were cleaned and rep iired for the occasion. It was tastefully fitted up with mirrors at both ends, reflecting the long tables and , he cheerful convivial faces, in almost endless succession. The Hall was splendidly illuminated. The projections of the arches in the various compartments, and the great cor nice were lined with tubes, which were perforated with holes, and the points finished with small stars, producing a most brilliant effect. The east window presented a b'aze of light, having a rich gilded crown in the centre, sur rounded by a radius, and was supported by the initials W. R. ; the whole being surmounted by the word " Reform," blazing forth with that lustre which we hope will attend the thing itsel'. The west window had the ear we have seen before in the same situation—a splendid piece of cut glass-work illuminated, and having a beautiful effect. This was surmounted by the mace, sword of justice, and cap of maintenance, and the whole emitted a d zzling light. The estimated number of burners is 515,090, independent of the chandeliers. Mingling with this blase of light were numerous city banners, and those ancient city ornaments, men in armour, which, however graceful to an ancient Gothic Hall, might, perhaps, be advantageously superseded now by some more appropriate emblems of the peaceful and industrious pursuits which are the source of the wealth and distinction enjoyed by this renowned city. In an orchestra on one side of the Ha'l was a numerous band, and in another orchestra was the Russian horn band, whose mellow and delightful music was well calculated to add to the joy of this festive day. Be fore the company sat down to dinner it was past six o'clock, and at that time the magnificent Hall was crowded with people. It presented, with the blaze of light flowing from every arch and every corner, and with this assemblage of intelligent and jovial men, met to celebrate a great and a bloodless triumph—a triumph by which no honest man has been injured, no tear has been shed—such a scene as we have not often before beheld, but such as we certainly hope to look upon again, and often ; for why should we not now be prosperous and happy—why should not the good old days of merry Englaad return, since we have now obtained the means of securing good Government, and putting an end to that misrule which has reduced the once smiling and cheerful land of our fathers to be the abode of too much cheerless, gloomy poverty and sullen indignation ? Some of the company would hardly wait for grace; but as soon as that was said, it was appropriately short, the company turned to with right good will, and showed that Reform had not taken away their appetites. When the dinner was over, Non Noble was sung, in fine style, by Messrs. Terrail, Hawkins, Horncastle, Hobbs, BellamYt E. Taylor, Rec. The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose " The health of the King." His Lordship introduced the toast by some appropriate observations ; but the noise in the Hall, owing to the very numerous company, rendered it difficult to ascertain what his Lordship said. We understood him to propose his Majesty's health, as the patron of Reform, and as having zealously exerted himself to promote the happiness of his people.—(Applau-e.) S eig—' God save the King.' " The Queen" followed, with three times three. The LORD MAYOR next gave " the heath of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex"—the ardent friend of Re- . form, and all the best institutions of the country. The Duke of SUSSEX returned thanks for the compli ment paid him. Surrounded as he saw himself by all that was great, talented, and intelligent in the country, it conveyed to his heart a sincere pleasure to think that all were met to commemorate the great cause which had been so ably conducted to a successful issue by the Noble Earl, his Noble Friend at the head of the Government, and his other distinguished friend, Lord Althorp, who had that day received the honour of being enrolled among the citiz ns of London. He had received himself a similar distinction before, though circumstances were then very different. He thought the present scene one of the proudest of his life. It had been the custom of some Statesmen, in order to secure popularity, to enter political , life with liberal professions, making them subservient to • their own views. He had lived to see persons out of office profess one thing, but, when they came into power, they forgot their promises—(Cheers)—and gave all their influ ence to support another cause, which had done much public mischief of this occasion. His Noble Friend came here to commemorate the success cf a cause he had professed when in opposition, and which he, when he came into power, followed up, redeeming the pledges he had given forty years before.—(Loud applause.) His Noble Friend was an exception to the rule he bad stated as being too often acted on by Statesmen. His triumph was the more honourable, inasmuch as it was purchased without any evil. He had received the appro bation of his countrymen, and the highest honours of the State, without causing, like the triumphs of some person', any bloodshed, or without having his laurel stained with any tears. Other men fought battles, and were victorious at some expense to the people. His Noble Friend's victories were all accompanied with the best feelings. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and of the Catholic disabilitits, had preceded the present triumph, and had led to the present Reform. On these occasions, he had given his hearty support to those repeals, as protecting civil and religious liberty; and we were now reaping the truits of former exertion. Having gained a great victory, he hoped it would he temperately used.—(Cheers.) Another consideration which he could not refrain from impressing on the minds of the people was, the importance of the duty they had now to perform. They had promoted Reform by their conduct, and he hoped they would con tinue to support those men whose conduct required no pledges. Other persons might offer themselves at the elections—he did not mean those who had voted against Re form—for them he should set down as black sheep--- (Cheers)—but men who had given, by their conduct, no proof that they were the ardeut friends of the measure. He doubted, however, the propriety of exacting pledges. The representatives were the representatives of the people it large. Pledged men were delegates, and were not the representatives of the whole people. The representatives were bound to study the good of the whole, and not to follow any interested feelings. The Loan Illaroa then gave, " The glorious triumph of Reform."—Three times three. Song_" Rule Rri tannii." The LORD MAYOR then gave, " Earl Grey, who had preserved its 'power those principles he bad professed in opposition." He had now attained the highest honour, by passing a measure calculated to promote the happiness of the people. He proposed " the health of Earl Grey, with three times three."—(Loud cheers.) Earl Gaxy, in returning thanks, had little to add to what he had said not many hours ago , when he re'urned his thanks for the honour he had then received in being elected a citiz n of London. — (Hear , hear.) Wh a t e ver i he might have done, whatever exertion he might h ave made supporting the cause to which he had so l ong b een at• tached—whatever lie had done, though he could claim no other merit than that of having introduced the measure their firm determination, th e i r pru d ent zea l, that the s uccess on their support that the success of the great measure de pended.—(Loud cheers.) A great deal more, however, had been done to hi m than he deserved, and more than he well knetv how t o t h an k t h em f or . H e b egge d leave, however, t o return them his sincere and his hearty thanks. He wou l d remind them that they had now again tot a full, fair, and free representation.—(Hear, hear.) The country had now obtained a security for good govern in.nt, and th e means, by the ordinary channels of the con ,titution, of p rocur i ng redress for any gr i evances. W it h this s ecur i ty, the wishes of the people could be effected. Having o b ta i ned this great advantage, he hop,tl t h a t the people, wh o h a d so distirw,uisbed themselves by their con duct in obtaining this correction of the constitution , would :ty the same means pursue the objects for which that had been obt a i ne d . He truste d t h at they would secu re it s ad vantages as t h ey h a d ga ined them. He trusted th a t their conduct would, in spite of the sinister predictions of their . o t rportents, establish and confirm the benefits expected of Reform.—(Hear, hear.) lii that, they were, perhaps, wore interested than any persons. No descriptions of inen were snore interested in peace. The Wealth of the City of Lo3don—the prosperity of all who heard him, were f dedges that they would pursue those peaceful orderly ha sits by which alone their great wealth could be still further extended, and that their commerce receive still additional •ultivation. All the arts, even liberty itself, with all the
