Several other addresses were presented, the parti-
culars of which we have not rewired.
So many reports had been in circulation about the
effect of the now etiquette hen on the numbers likely
to attend the levee, that there was much earionty
felt as to the extent and character of the ems=
yesterday that were to wait on her Majesty.
another kree has not been sine* the days of George
the Fourth's visit. The sight was to huh eyes a
grand one, though of course vastly inferior to the
same ceremony at St. Jaesse's
The city of Dublin is nearly equally divided into
north and south by the coarse of the Liffey, and the
police regulations enforced that all the oarrages
ck from
the north aide should proceed by Seville-
street and along the northern quays ;the while on
the southern side all the carriages from May-fair
of Dublin, the quartier of Marion•equare and Col-
lege-Men, proceeds.' along in a line that a
to have no end. Standing on the iron foot r=
that spans the Liffy the scene was one of the most in-
teresting I had seen anywhere, and certainly the
most striking and peculiar I had witnessed since the
Qasen's arrival. The night had been wet, and below
Cerlisle.bridge the vessels had their maws flapping
from the yards, and ablye all towered the dome of
the princely Custom—that splendid monument of the
taste and energy of Beresford and Gundin.
Toe ships had their flags flying from the mast-
head, and the view down the river, with Carlisle-,

Bridge is the torsgrouad was exquisitely beautiful.
There ea either bead elowly rolled along the streams
Ot Cirri Sell. chokes, britsakas, aad all farts of fashion-
able vehicles. A vast number of barristers attended
in their °Masi ...tame, and their wigs °mitigated
with the brilliant Jeff uniforms that flashed through
many a wrists window. It was enough to remind
one of the olden time when Woad had a Parliament,
sada reddest aristocracy, and whoa Dahlia was the
gay and brilliant residence et a large nobility.
A vast assemblage et the populace was
together on Castle Will. Her Ma-
frtyli,mdfrom sofas reason not stated, was
not there present with her almost mutant
punctuality. at the hour of one—a feet which caused
some surprise, so singular is the reputation for exact
salmis to appointed times by her Digjeety. It was
MO et the desert crowds that easseibled to see bee
oboes her arrival, and I went all through end con-
versed with several persons here and there. When
the Queen appeared the cheers were brisk and lively,
and would have been long continued had not her
Majesty, who was in a close carriage, driven quickly
past. Still there was no lack of enthusiasm.
The ptomain consisted of the usual elements of
sash civic 'bows. First came the companies,
then the college porters, stalwart manly tiger's
is Wee livery. Nest came students in caps. and
17.72 abater!, and fellows at the amversity,
at them' wearies mart shemse—ethere being
in the purely academie garb. They had to elbow the
way through the Mob.
The Royal Agricultural show was thinly attended,
is consequence of the levee, but the exhibition of
cattle was excellent. The grand dinner at the Rotunda
took place last night, and was most respectably
attended.

The midday men which leave. Kingston at 12.30
p.m. was by the Lord-Lieutenant's orders specially
detained in order to give him an opporttmit, at des-
patching a letter to Lord John Russell, who was it is
said extremely scrims to know how the Queen
would be received. This is the explanation of the
noble lord's absence from put of the procession.
I have it upon excellent authority that her Majesty
said to Sir George Grey after the day et Cork, " that
the harbour and river of Cork were the &sat she
had ever seen." Sir George Grey appears to think
that the reception at Cork gave very grad gratifica-
tion to her Majesty, as he has repeatedly said is pri-
vate, and in terms more hearty than the cold letter of
official ceremony which he addressed to Sir William
Lyres.

PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY AT KINGSTOWN.
Among the many compliments devised here in honour of
hey Mai*ay, the pyrotechnic display or the Royal Vaal.%
Club at Kings own last evening was certainly not the least
effective. Burly is the evening the beautiful harbour was
enveloped in a thick base, through which the various vessels
of the squadron loomed darkly like so lathy spectres, but as
the appointed hour drew nigh the curtain was partially
raised, and the moon made her appearance, shedding just
light enough to give the fireworks positively a magical
effect. The Club-house is an elegantstreeture, standing close
to the edge of the water with an esplanade in front, and
opposite to it the harbour is studded with the various, stu-
pendous, or aliment 'noels of the royal end yacht squadroes.
Between the esplanade and the easels the are was kept up,
assisted by an inhabitant of the tows, who emulated the
elub'iiste in the frequency and brilliancy of his displays. The
intention, not having been generally known in Dublin, the
crowd was not so great as it otherwise would have been, but
still there was a sufilcientlystrong muster of local sight-seekers
to line the shores; and the clubhouse itself was thronged
with leshionablee who had received cards of in-
vitations from the members. I cannot say that
tee pieces were let off with the precision
of Vauxhall or the Zoological gardens, bat the effect of
raja"; coloured lights upon the people, the building, sad,
above all, the water, was the mat beautiful I have ever
sere. At one moment you saw barely the dim outline of a
vessel, and the next,.the yards, ethestrees, and bowsprit
streamed with blue light, and the minutest rope was made
visible with as effect somewhat similar to that produced by
a CS* lantern. Then suddenly a bless of red fire wee lit
up in the back ground by the gentleman to whom I have
before alluded, and the spectators in the boats were treated
with a sight which they will net mien foaget. Next came
a flight of rockets from the esplanade, answered
by another from the dragoo ; and then, as if by magic, the
entire vessels of the club were in • blase, popping, fizzing,
and cracking, and the crowd on the shore cheered in an ex-
tsey of delight. The exhibition concluded with a brie de-
vice, in which innumerable squibs and crackers premosineed
a " Welcome to Victoria and Albert," and the Wait, re-
sumed its wasted quieted,.

PARLIAMENTARY
AND FINANCIAL REFORM.

GREAT MEETING AT NORTHAMPTON.

This meeting, which was entirely the result of the
spontaneous feeliag of the inhabitants of the locality, was
originally intended to have been a " tows meting," area a
numerously signed requisition for that purpose was prepared
for presentation to the mayor but, owing to some technical
diSeelty, it was subeequeotly deemed advisable that the
nominal tharmiter of the meeting should be changed, and
that, although still held under the prodding of the chief
magistrate, and retaining all the charaeteristic features
end importance of a town meeting, yet It should not be con-
need in that name.
The moth, was held in the theatre, the largest available
covered building is the town. Shortly after the opening of
the doors, tile utter inadequacy of the theatre for the seem-
ssodatios of the numbers who desired to be protest was ma-
nifest; and, while may returned home In disappoiatment,
large crowds lined the adjmene streets during the whole of
the evening.
