DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 2. GRAND DINNER AT THE VICE-REGAL LODGE,DUBLIN, IN HONOUR OF HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY. The dinner which was to have taken place at the Vice-regal Lodge on the 12th of August, in honour of our most gracious and beloved Sovereign's Birth-day, was unavoidably post poned in consequence of the sudden and lamentable death of our late gallant and venerable Commander of the Forces, Sir Samuel Auchmuty. A most splendid entertainment was given by his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, at the Vice regal Lodge, Phoenix-park, on Saturday last, on which occa sion was used his Excellency's superb and beautiful service of plate ; also for the first time a complete new set of table-linen, on which were most beautifully worked his Excellency's co ronet, crests, and supporters, the collar and star of the Order of the Garter, the collar and badge of the Order of St. Patrick, the Shamrock and the Harp of Erin, the Imperial and Royal Turkish and Persian Orders, with beautiful wreaths of flowers of the most exquisite taste and workmanship. After dinner, his Excellency gave " The King, long life, health, happiness, honour and glory, to his Majesty ;" after which the usual loyal toasts were given, and appropriate airs played by the excellent band of the 7th Hussars. The following distin. guished personages were present on the occasion ;—Right lion. the Lord Mayor, Duke of Leinster, Archbishop of Dublin, Earl of Meath, Earl of Landaff, Lord Viscount Allen, Lord Killeen, Right Hon. the Bishop of Kildare, Right lion. Mr. Goulburn, Right Hon. the Attorney-General, Right Hon. Dr. Radcliffe, Right Hon. Mr. D. Brown, &c.—( Dublin Journal.) PRESTON GUILD FESTIVAL. PRESTON, SEPT. 3.—This being the day ap pointed for the Ladies' Procession, and of course the most attractive, there was a great influx of company, a nd th e seve ral Trades and Societies assembled in much larger numbers, and with more splendid decorations. The rain poured heavily at an early hour, but subsequently cleared up, and a most beau tiful day cheered the hearts of desponding ladies, who other wise would have been prevented snaking a display, which, for attrattion and elegance, was never surpassed. At half-past nine o'clock, the Mayoress, accompanied by the Mayor and some Officers of the Corporation, arrived at the Town Hall, to receive the Ladies who intended honouring her with their corn pany.—The carriages now drove up in quick succession, and continued to do so till eleven o'clock. The equipages of the Earl of Derby and Charles Tempest, Esq. were particularly splendid. The processions of the Societies being duly arranged, as on Monday, and headed by the Marshal, Mr. James Fothergill, the signal was given for their moving, and the difl'erent companies opened right and left, leliving a free passage to the Ladies, who, at five minutes past eleven, left the Town Hall, preceded by the Mayor and Corporation. and led by the Mayoress, who was attired in a splendid dress of white satin and crape, with a head dress of diamonds and feathers. The other ladies, in number 162, were dressed in a similar manner, and . proceeded down Church -street, to the parish church, escorted by several Noblemen and Gentlemen, and the Freemasons in full black suits, with the sashes and orders of their several Lodges.— During their progress hats were taken off, and the procession was rendered indescribably interesting, from the number of La dies at the windows, and on the roof and tower of the Church ; every elevated situation which enabled the spectators to have a good view of the ceremonial was thronged. After hearing Divine Service, the procession returned in the same order, the companies forming open lines with their banners, cars, &c. &c. &c. ranged on either side, through which the Ladies passed from the church gates, round the market place, up Cheapside, to the Town Hall. The ap pearance of the vast assemblage of persons in the market place, with the tops of the houses and windows lined with females, had a most magnificent effect. In one part stood the steam engine and machinery employed in the Cotton Trade, and in another the crown, standard, and car of flowers and fruit belonging to the Gardeners. On the other side were three men in armour, one on a horse covered from the head to the hoof in brass. In another car the Printers were busily en gsged in printing and vending various mottoes, with the in, scriptions, " Prosperity to the Spindle," " Success to the Loom," and " Nicholas Grimshaw, Esq. twice Mayor." The next object excited universal laughter; in a covered wag gon drawn by two horses, and surrounded with apples, stood Eve, proffering an apple to Adam, who every time refused the gift, though his partner was aided by the" subtle serpent." His refusal, however, might be justified on looking at the lady who personified Eve, she being at least sixty years of age, and fur rowed with many a deep wrinkle. The Odd Fellows were superbly, though oddly dressed. The Freemasons claimed particular notice on account of their respectability, and the chasteness of their attire, and to them was assigned the post of honour, that of escorting the Ladies and Corporation. Soon after two o'clock the processions and populace dis persed. The greatest order was observed throughout the day ; not a single soldier attended, and what is rather singular we did not hear one cheer or shout of applause. Some accidents of a trifling nature occurred opposite the Town Hall, arising out of the eagerness of the byestanders to see the Ladies alight from their carriages. The Ball at the New Exchange Rooms, and the Theatre, were well attended on Monday night, but the company appear to be reserving themselves for the superior entertainments which are forthcoming. The Magistrates of Leith presented to his Majesty a Map of the Town and Harbour, engraved by Mr. Charles Thomson,' High-street. .The place where his Ma jesty landed was marked by an Imperial Crown. The map, which was laid upon satin, was inclosed in a box, covered with crimson velvet. beautifully ornamented with • silver thistles. The following is the inscription upon the box : Presented by the Magistrates of Leith to His Majesty, George the Fourth, in commemoration of His Majesty's Landing at the Port of Leith, August 15, 1822. P 0 E l r it Y. To A LADY NAMED ROSE. Thou art a very pretty flow'r, And fit to deck the nuptial bow'r, Where mayst thou long on Earth be found, And spread thine infant buds around. May no harsh storm thy form o'erwhelm, Or shake thee from thy vital stem. With Heart's-ease twin'd stillmayst thou grow, Life's garden to adorn below, 'Till hoary Time shall bid thee die, To bloom for ever in the sky. . J. T. THE NEWS. SONG.—Tune, " Shirra Muir." O cam' ye east, or cam' ye west, Or bring ye news to me, man? Or were ye at the pier o' Leith, Or did the landin' see, man ? I saw the fleet conic up the Frith, Heard Geordie hailed wi' joyfu' mirth, 'Mang Nobles ranked by bluid and birth, And saw him land on Scotland's strand— By anci - 2 , .t band, ta'en by the hand, And met wi' welcomes three, man ! They say a Scottish Minstrel cam' And shook his han' right fain, man ; - Gie him " a Ladies' gift," and cried, Yon're welcome to your - ain, man. Then fort and fleet that near him stood, Wi' guns raised up a rackit loud,. And Castlehill an' Holyrood, Wi' unca bang, the news slang, In thunder rang, the hills amang, Till Sals'bory roar'd, Amen, rnan ! O had ye seen him come slang, Wi' a' his' nobles gay, man Whilst welcome looks, and ladies' smiles, Him ligh tit up the way, man ; u Auld Scotland's oughty barons prest Their blades, that lang had lain at rest, And marshall'd up the Royal Guest— Whilst trumpet soon', and pibroch croon, Were like to droon the lift aboon, Frac Forth unto the Tay, man ! The Highlan' clans, in tartan sheen, Were huskit unco bra', man ; Hersel' for plume, had heather bloom, An' " Scotland's flower" an' a man: Auld Reekie fidgin' sat aboon, And sent her sons in thousands dour:, To welcome Geordie to her toun— An' say, " Though foes shou'd pa' his rose, He'd aye get brosc, and ne'er shou'd lose ILI: for his hame an' a' man !" Then doun to ancient Holyrood, Wha hail'd the happy day, man, They've ta'en the King, where lang had.stood Auld Scotland's regal sway, man— Although her hearth has lang been cauld, And wa's and roof are growin auld, A blink o' him has made her bauld— A Royal Court—a gay resort— Whare kingly sport—and a' that sort 0' daffin's night an' day, man ! Lana life unto our lawfu' King, e'll aye his rights maintain, man ; And while he stays 'mang Scotia's hills He'll aye be we his ain, man. There's no a man in a' the lan' But wha wad serve him heart an' han', And pleasure him the best they can— For a' do swear they'll keep him here For ae half year, or may be mair, If he will but remain, man ! ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—With the usual fer tility of this Theatre, a new Operetta, as it is styled, entitled The Fair Gabrielle, was last night brought forward. •As the history of Henri Qualreis so well known, it would be needless to detail the plot if the present piece did not de viate from historical truth.—The fair Gabrielle was in reality the Mistress of Henri, but in this piece she is represented Its the subject of an ho= nourable connection, to whom he offers marriage, which she rejects, not because he is already mar ried, but from a high sense of loyalty and pa triotism. However, the deviation is well suited to dramatic purposes, and heightens the charac ter of the Heroine. The plot of this piece is simple. Henri (T. P. CooKE) leaves his camp for the purpose of having a chance of see ing Gabrielle (Miss CAREW),. and is disco vered by three hostile soldiers, who know him by his dress rather than his person, but fortunately his friend EIoi(PEARmAN) over hears their intention to seize him, and therefore induces the Monarch to change dresses, by which means Henri escapes, and Eloi is taken prisoner under the notion that he is the King. Henri secretes himself in the Castle of the Count D'Estrees (RowaornAm). The father of Ga brielle obtains an interview with Gabrielle, and having heard the Count say that though by gra titude he was attached to the head of Henri's foes, he would protect the King if eve - : he came into his power, he discovers himself, and relies on the Count's fidelity. Henri afterwards joins the camp, his enemy submits to him, and the piece concludes, as usual, with the happiness of all parties. The pi e c e is unif orm ly •N supported by good acting. T. P. COOKE per formed the part of Henri with great effect. He has only to regulate his voice, which sometimes breaks forth with thundering force upon par ticular words, and he will become a very good actor, as he always understands his part. PEAR MAN supported the part of the assumed Monarch with more humour than propriety. His notion of the Royal character seemed to consist in a pompous inflation of utterance and a ludicrous waving of the hand. This mode is utterly inconsistent with the ease and humour of Henri's histori cal character, however it may divert the audience, which, indeed, is to be considered as the main object. Miss CAREw looked, acted, and sung in so interesting a manner, as well to jus tify the attachment of the Monarch. Miss POVEY also appeared in an under-plot relating to the loves of Estelle and Eloi, in which the singing and acting of both were properly applauded. There was a very numerous audience, and the piece was announced for repetition by Mr. T.P.COOKE, with universal assent. The author of this piece is a Mr. PLANCHE, and the music, which is at least pretty, was chiefly composed by Col. Livitrs. The new Opera of Gil Bias is, it seems, to be reduced from five to two acts, and is only to extend to the second period of his life. This com pression is judicious, as it favours the introduction of that variety of performances every night for which the English Opera !louse is distinguished, and the third act is so entirely distinct from the others that the piece, in fact, is complete on the close of the second. The Edinburgh Theatre closed on Saturday for a few weeks. Mr. KEAN, who was engaged for the last twelve nights, performed several of his principal characters. The house has been well filled during his engagement, and on Satur day night it was crowded to excess. ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS, FOR SEPTEMBER. illercztrjj is an eirening star. His nearness to the Sun, at first, renders him invisible ; and the unfavourable ness of his position afterwards, and southern latitude, make him inaccessible to most observcrS. At the end of- the month be is little more than half an hour above the horizon after sun-set.— The Moon passes him on the 16th: • - Venus is a morning star. During the greater part of this month she will rise about two hours before the Sun ; and if the weather be unclouded, may be seen with a tolerably good glass till three in the afternoon. She will he nearly in conjunction with the Moan at about half-past nine in the morning of the 13th. Mars is an evening star. Ire sets in the S.W. from three to two hours after the Sun. The Moon passes him on the 19th. Jupiter is an evening star. In the beginning of the month he rises 20 m. past nine ; and in the end, about eight in the evening. On the 26th he is stationary ; and will of course be seen above the llyades and Aldebaran, nearest to the star in the northern eye. The Moon passes him on the 7th.

The Moon passes him on the 23d. Pallas and Ceres. Of these telescopic planets, the former will be on the 25th, in long. 10 signs, 26 degrees, 11 min., lat. 13 deg. 54 min. GENERAL REMARKS. This month is distinguished by the Still being in such a posi.: tion on the 23d, that in the course of 24 hours every part of the earth is visited by his rays ; and every where except within the polar circles, the day and night are equal. The 24 hours in which this occurs, begin at 47 min. past 6, in the evening of the 22d, and end at 47 m. past 6, of the 23d. At 47 m. past 6 in the morning of the 23d, the Sun is visible to the inhabitants of one half of the globe, from the north pole to the south pole ; the inhabitants of the earth under the north pole are soon to be wrapped up in darkness of nearly six months duration ; the inhabitants under the south pole, if there are any, are rejoicing at the commencement of their six months summer. In both situations their day is lengthened by the power of the air to refract the ray's of the sun, by which he is made to appear above the horizon when he is really below it. Hence in these regions, the sun is seen skirting the horizon for several days succeeding and preceding the 23d ; at the north pole he presents at every point of the compass the appearance of the setting, and at the south pole that of the rising sun. A six months night may seem to us a most dreadful cala mity, and our imagination may paint, as in many other cases, scenes of wretchedness which have no real existence in nature. This night is not enveloped in a dark and horrid gloom ; for some time the sky glows with the lively colours of our sum mers' evenings, and for three months is enlightened by the long continuance of the moon at certain intervals above the ho rizon ; and the clearness of the sky gives additional brilliancy to the stars. The year originally began in this month, and at the time which we have described, when the day is equal to the night. The Jews still retain the original calendar, and the beginning of the year is with them a festival. They have erred a little in deed from the exact time, but we shall not be surprised at this want of exactness, when we consider that it is only 70 years since the inhabitants of this island were so full of prejudice, that they would scarcely part with their calendar, though the error in it amounted to eleven days. DaTER, SEPT. 4.—On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop of this Diocese held a General Ordination in the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Exeter, when William Harris Arundell, B.A. of Gonvill and Caius College, Cambridge ; Alexander Huntley Robertson Brillic B.A. of Lincoln College, Ox- ford ; Alexander Dyce, B.A. of Exeter College, Oxford ; Wm.

ENGLISH ACTORS IN PARIS.—A friend of lite rature may now b.ve the pleasure of making interesting com parisons between our stage and that of our neighbours, with out exposing himself to the danger of losing a leg or an arm. The Vandals have disappeared ; the representations in the Rue Chautereive are now attended by true Frenchmen, and never will it enter into the imaginations of Frenchmen, that is, of men belonging to the most civilized, the most ge nerous nation in the world, to stone actors and actresses to death because they say heart, instead of mar ; and lore, in place of amour. We have, however, some fault to find with these British artists ; with the exception of the School for Scandal,which is played with great applause in England, they have not given us any classical performance. Let not any person be offended ! we allude to those works which will be found in the hands and im pressed on the memory of all those to whom the English langUage is familiar. The actors of Mr. Penley's company are very su perior to what they were at first supposed; to be convinced of this, it is sufficient to listen to them with attention, and to con sider all the disadvantages of the circumscribed space in which they represent pieces which would require continual changes of the scene.-.-( Gazette de France.) BON MOT.—Dr. LE?iIO AR, titular Archbishop of Dublin, a man of very lively parts, htippened, in a mixed company, to be introduced to a Mr. Swan, a gentleman of a cynical turn, whose practice it was to attempt to raise a laugh at the expence of some one in company. '['hey sat near each other at table, where the Doctor engagedrneral atten tion by his sprightly manner. Mr. Swan, to silence him, said " Doctor I forget your name."—" Leniger returned the Doctor. " I ask your pardon," replied Swan, " I have the misfortune scarce ever to recollect names ; you'll not be offended therefore, if in the course of conversation call you Dr. Vinegar ?" " . 0h i not at all, Sir," returned the Doctor, " I have the very same defect ; and it is very pro bable, though 'I now name you Sawn, I may by and by call ycu game." A Gentleman, having a spencer on during his morning ride, met a country boy, and requested him to open a gate for him; the desire was immediately complied with, but the boy not keeping it long enough open, it struck the haunches of the horse; the rider cled the bumpkin a fool—the reply was short and pithy—" Ben't such a fool as you, didn't get up with my waascut aver my cowt." liEmr.—Coles, in his history of plants, notices the virtues of hemp thus laconically :--By this cordage ships are guided, bells are rung, beds are corded, and rogues are kept in awe." Mr. BALDWIN, the Marquis of IhRTFORD'S gardener, had this year, forty New Providence pines in one of his stoves; of these thirty-six have been cut, which weighed no less than 288 lbs. 4 oz. !—One of the number, weighed 11 lbs. 8 oz. ; another 11 lbs. 4 oz.; some of them upwards of 101bs. and most of the remainder between 8 and 9 lbs. each, THE ARMY.

The Ist Regiment of Royal Devon Cavalry, commanded by the Right Hon. Lord Rolle, completed their training for this year on Saturday last, much to the satisfaction of their Officers, both for the soldierlike conduct they, exhibited, and their gene.. ral good behaviour. They were inspected at different times by several military gentlemen, who, in the most flattering terms of ianegyric, expressed themselves highly gratified with the progress they have made; and bestowed the greatest enco miums on Captain White, under whose immediate orders they had so greatly improved.—The South Devon Guides, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Holdsworth, will go on permanent duty at Dartmouth for six days on the 17th Sep tember.—Colonel Bastard's Regiment of South Hams Yeo manry Cavalry are ordered to prepare themselves for eight days' duty in October next, at Totnes.—(Exeter Flying Post) FUNERAL PROCESSION. The following account is extracted from the Goshen Patriot, United States paper, of the 22d of July : On Saturday, the 20th, the battalion of Cadets from West Point, to the number of 210, under the command of Major Worth, arrived and encamped in the village. They were re ceived and treated with as much respect and attention as could reasonably be expected from so small a village as Goshen. On Sunday about 100 of them attended church in a body, and made a very handsome appearance. On Monday morning, the 22d, the people began to assemble in crowds, at an early hour, to witness the public solemnities which were announced to take place on that day. At ten o'clock the preparations commenced. The cavalry, the infantry, the cadets, the mourners, the clergy, survivors of the Minisink Battle. officers and soldiers of the Revolution, military officers in uniform, civil and judicial officers, gentlemen of the Bar, Medical Society, Masonic Brethren, &c. all collected and mov ing from different points, at the same time, to join the proces sion, formed a most sublime, interesting, and solemn Scene. The procession was formed immediately after twelve o'clock. The bones of the brave men who fell a prey to the merciless savages and painted Tories at the battle of Minisink, having been deposited in two plain mahogany coffins at the house of James W. Carpenter, were brought out, shrouded black, surrounded by sixteen gray-headed officers and soldiers of the Revolution as pall-bearers, and placed each upon a separate hearse, drawn by two white horses. Thirteen of the sons of those who fell on that disastrous day, namely—Major Tusten, Captain Barker, H. G. Wisner, Esq., Moses Thomas, Esq., Michael A. Jones, Jonathan Bennett, Samuel Bennett, John Little, Alsop Vail, Samuel Vail, Jared Mosher, Wm. Baker, and John Knap, followed as chief mourners; and besides them there were a long train of more remote connexions. All things being ready, the mournful music struck up, and the line moved off with a slow and solemn step. Both sides of the streets were lined with spectators, from one end to the other, nearly a mile ; every house was full, and every stoop was crowded. The whole procession, which was something like half a mile in length, moved with great regularity and preci sion, and minute guns were fired and the bell tolled during the march. When the procession arrived at the place of interment, the battalion of cadets first encircled the vault, whi c h h a d been hewn out of a rock on the south side of the church ; next to them were drawn up in succession the different societies and the military ; and then the citizens, who had only been spectators. A stage was erected near the vault, where the solemn services were performed. Here we beheld an interesting spectacle— General Hathorn,who commanded that unfortunate expedition, as a Colonel, 43 years before, now verging upon 80—on his left, Major Poppino, who was an officer under him in the same battle, now 96 years of age, and Thomas Waters, about 60, also in • the same battle. Although 96 years of ace, Major Poppino walked with the procession, and was one o f the pall bearers. As soon as the procession was formed round the vault, the solemnities were opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Fisk.— The Rev. Mr. Wilson then delivered an address upon the occa sion. He first took a view of the scripturalauthority applicable to the.case, spoke of the removal of the bones of Jacob, of Joseph, and of others, recorded in Scripture; he gave a history of the battle of Minisink, and the circumstances attending it, and concluded by calling the attention of the multitude to the re surrection of the dead and the day -- of judgment. We under stand it is the intention of the Committee of Arrangements to t - ) solicit a copy of Mr. Wilson's address for publication. After Mr. Wilson concluded, the coffins were let down into the vault. Mr. Wilson then took Gen. Hathorn by the hand, introduced him to the multitude, and read a short address, which the Gene ral had prepared on the occasion of his being appointed to lay the corner-stone of the monument, but which, in consequence of his age and infirmities, he fbund himself unable to deliver sufficiently loud to be heard. Gen. Hathorn and Mr. Waters went down into the vault and laid the corner stone. Prayer was again offered up by the Rev. Mr. Cotter. Thr ee vo ll e y s o f musketry were fired over the vault by the cadets, which closed the ceremonies. The number of persons assembled on this interesting occasion has been variously estimated ; but the best founded calculations we have heard, makes out 2,000 carriages of all descriptions, averaging five persons each ; and this is, perhaps, not too high, for most of them were two horse waggons, crowded full, some with 8 or 10 in ; besides those there were great numbers on horseback and on foot, so that the whole number could not have &lien much short of 12,000. As soon as the funeral was over the people began to disperse ; no accident happened, and the whole day was spent in a man ner becoming the occasion. We have here given a simple statement of facts ; we attempt not to embellish :it is not an occasion which requires it. e have done our duty; the memory of the brave and the unfor tunate have been honoured. Better late than never. The cadets remained at their encampment until Thursday morning,when they took their march for Montgomery, thence to Newburgh, and on to West Point. They conducted them selves with decency and propriety while here, and the people were much pleased with their unifom appearance, their mdi tary discipline, and their band of music.

We have been short of Wheat this week ; what was at mar ket this morning sold on full as good terms as on last Monday; there was a demand for good Old Wheat, but the inferior qua lities were unsaleable. In all other articles there was no al teration in price. SMITHFIELD kIARKET, SEPT. 6.

This is the case also in France, where it is made into paper. This plant, when dried, is eaten by sheep and oxen. In Russia a green dye is obtained from its leaves, and a yel low one from its roots. In the spring a salutary pottage is made from the tops. In Scotland they make a runnet from a decoc tion of it with salt, for coagulating their milk in the making of cheese.
