DUBLIN, TVIIISDAT Nicer.
To-day tho mayors, and deputations from the •
corporations, of many of the most important pro-
vincial towns in Ireland have arrived in Dublin
with addreesel. As these addresses will not be as
tually presented to their royal highnesses, but;
will merely be transmitted through the Lord-Lieu-
tenant, no special honour and glory will attach to
thois.bearen. It is impossible, therefore, for tine-
mist captious to insinuate that those who have •
procured their adoption by the various municipali-
ties can have been actuated by any other motive
than a desire to testify their loyalty to the Sore-.
reign, and their affectionate admiration for her son
and his wife ; and there is, I apprehend, no doubt:
that they represent the real feelings of the public
bodies from which they proceed. The List re-
herimal of the music, vocal and instrumental, which
is to'be performed in the course of the ceremony of
installation took place this afternoon in St.
Patrick's Cathedral : and the proficiency displayed
by both vocalists and execatanta was sufficient to
inspire confidence that all will go smoothly rig
Saturday next. Something has yet to be done.
before one can be certain that all the other persons
who have to take part in the ceremonial—the
knight. and officers of the order, esquires, pursui-
rants, &c.—will be perfect in their parts ; but am
Sir B. Burke, who, as Ulster King at Arms, has the
direction of the whole matter, is unremitting in his
exertions to ensure success, I have no doubt that
everything will be done in accordance with the
minute directions of the statutes of that high and
mighty, although not very ancient, order of which
his royal highness is to be installed a knight.
I am, however, rather anticipating matters
in referring to the installation in this plsoe.
,The next great event after the reception to-
' morrow (Wednesday) will be the visit to the race-
,,course of Punchestown on Thursday. The Punches-
town meeting is at any time one of the most
popular, perhaps the most popular, in Ireland. As
far as Dublin is concerned, it may be said to answer
to the Derby in England ; but the humours and
perils of the road from London to Epsom are
greatly intensified upon the highway between this
metropolis and Punchestown. On this occasion the
attendance will be far, very far larger than usual ;
the demand for vehicles far exceeds the supply,
even including the assistance received from places
as distant as Drogheda and Liverpool—from which
I believe one drag has been imported at a cost of
over 1001.—and the incidents of the road may be
expected to be exaggerated in proportion. To avoid
the fatigue and inconvenience which would
arise from driving for seventeen miles—l believe
that is about the distance, but somehow no twd
persons whom I have questioned upon the subject
exactly agree-their royal highnesses will travel lag
rail to Salinas, a station upon the Great Southern
and Western Railway ; and will drive thence to
the course. As to the distance between these two
points my informants are equally at issue ; but a
careful comparison of their various statements leads
me to estimate it at between two and three milen
The Princess will only go to Punchestown on
Thursday • but it is expected that the Prince of
Wales will be present also on Friday. On the
evening of the latter day the Lord Mayor gives tt
grand ball at the Mansion-house, and on Saturday
we shall have the installation, followed by a
banquet at the castle. The principal events of
next week will be the review on Monday, the
opening of the Agricultural Show on Tuesday, and
the national ball on Tuesday ; but on one or other
of these days the Pi ince and Princess will pay a
visit to Trinity College, and his royal highness will
unveil the statue of Mr. Burke, which has beep
placed in front of that building, on the opposite
side of the entrance to the statue of Oliver (told-
smith.

DUBLIN, WrDNESDAT NI.•liT.
' The Prince andPrinceas landed at Kingstown at
noon to-day, in the promos of a large concourse of
weeps, who gave them a most cordial re.;eptiou.
The weather was beautiful, and there was no failure
in the arrangements. The Lord-Lieutenant received
their royal highnesses, and preceded them in hii
carriage to Dublin. There were considerable
crowds along the road from Kingstown to Dublin,
and everywhere the Prince and Princess were
most warmly received. At the city boundary,
where the Lord Mayor and corporation of
Dublin joined the cortege, the crowd increased
in density, and thence to the Castle, all the streets
were thronged. The greatest number of persons
collected in one place had assembled in College-
green, and about this portion of the route, and MI
the way up Dame-street to the Castle, the cheering
was louder and more general than at any other
part of the ronte followed by the procession.
Many of the houses were hung with flags, and all
the windows were filled with ladies, gentlemen,
and children, who waved hats and handkerchiefs,
and vigorously clapped their hands as the carriage
containing the royal guests drove by. The Prince
and Princess both appeared to be in excellent
health, and seemed highly pleased with their wel-
come.

On their arrival at the Castle the Prince and
Princess were conducted to the state apartments,
where they received an address from the Lord
Mayor and Corporation of Dublin.
The Prince of Wales, replying to this address,
said :

" My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of
the city of Dublin,—lt is with the greatest &Cs-
faction that I have received your address of weir-
come to your ancient and loyal city. The recep-
tion which the Princess and myself have this dye
experienced calls forth our warmest and h
acknowledgments. It has been my most &axiom
desire, since I last visited Ireland, to return to it
accompanied by the Princess ; and I regard her
presence this day, equally with yourselves, air
a happy omen for the country, although
I have never for a moment doubted yours
constant and undiminished attachment to
the throne of her Most Gracious Majesty the
Queen. It will be a great source of pleasure to
me to be present at the inauguration of the statue
of one of Ireland's most distinguished slat
and to be enrolled and installed a Knight of
illustrious illustrious Order of Bt. Patrick. In the name
of the Princess and myself I return you once morn
our hearty thanks."
There has been a partial illumination to-night,
and the streets have been much crowded during
the evening, but everything has gone off with
order and good temper.
