Tice annals of the Theatre do not furnish an in.
stance of a season commencing under more auspi-
cious circumstances than the present. Fir it among
them may be ranked the early aprearan.:e of M's.

Dating aaress sustained the chara'ff.- nt. Lai,
Teasle, drew an overflow on Smut day trAlit. We
never saw the lively scenes given with more pin.
fatness and vivacity. The screen scene was res-dercd
'uncommonly interesting, by the exquisite fre-ce and
feeling with which she declared the conviaticri of her
errors. Mr. ELLISTON is, pet haps, Its good a Ciseter
AS the stage affords ; but it requires a huoyant
tress, and an air of fashion, whieh he does net !dr
possess, to depiel the chit-ads r truly. he renxxieing

traordinary eclat.

They were followed by Countess 'ice ese LH, La-

Noble Earl's mansion, a great concourse of people
were assembled from the neighbouring villages to
see them. They Alighted from their carriages, and
proceed:l to view the beautiful pleasure-grounds
and gardens, with which they appeared highly de-
lighted. The servants of the noble Earl appeared
in new liveries, and the most splendid preparations
were made for the reception of the ROYAL PARTY.
A reiiiiher of cooks., confeiftioners, and others, were
bruu&ht from London, to make the entertainment in
the most splendid style possible.
AL three .clock, the ROYAL FAMIRY set down
to a most sumptuous dinner.
We lament the Noble Owner of the mansion can-
not enjoy the good things of it, as he is so ex
tremely alliieted with the gout, that he has lore the
toe of his limbs ; when he moves, it is in
chair with wheels, and a servant draws it.
Nine:, !reds are made up, hut the Party is so
nnmerous that they ate not sufficient, and beds arc
provided, fur some of die screams.

on board his flag-ship, the Antelope ; and, about
vij;tt o'clock, this morning, weighed anchor, a d
left those roads for Dungeness, with a light breeze,
from the N. E. When the Artidape arrived off that
part of the coast, between Folkes, one and I Iythe,
she lay-to for some hours, during which time, it is
supposed, Sir Sidney went on shore, to inspea the

DUBLIN, gam 24.

We have a long time resisted the rumour of the
departure of the Earl of Hardwicke from this coun-
try. lam sorry to say, that it no longer admits of
a doubt. Preparations are making for his depar-
ture. 'Phis you may rely on as a fad. 114 Lora •
ship has asked some of his confidential servants, whe-
ther they wish to remain behind, but I have not heard
their answers. The particular friends of Loud
Cathcart say, that his Lordship knows nothing of
the command which public rumour has given to
him. A very warm contest is expeaed for the seat
in the representation of the Queen's County, vacated
by Sir Eyre Coote. in consequence of his new ap-
pointment in the West Indies. The candidat...s are,
the Honourable Robert Moore, and Mr. Henry
Parnell, second son of the late Sir John Panel'. h
is supposed here, that the old Drogheda interest
will prevail, and that Mr. Moore will be the successtial
Candidate. Sir Eyre Coote takes his bri-e and his
three daughters with him to Jamaica. Mr. Hem y
Alexander, the Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means; has opened a Bank, in the old
house Finlay and Co. upon Ormond Quay, in this
city. It is supposed, that it will have all the Irish
Exchai ge business, together with that of the linen-
metclian' sof the North. The property of the firm
is very considerable. Hie Earl of Lanesborougli is
not etpedect to live ; his disorder is a confirmed

fYo Ng, and the Duke of CA M I IV; e, in the first,
dressed in regimentals ; in the second, His Royal
Highness's Aid-de-Carrrps ; and, in the third,
three Gentlemen in waiting. 'fhe hells were imme-
diately set ringing, cannons fired, and every mark
of joy and respell was shewn. A cumpiny of the
Per sees regiment, accompanied by the hand, went
to meet him, and, on their return. played God nice
tin Kgsz, on the Sreyne, which WAS crowded with
ladies :tnd gentlemen, to welcome the Royal Vi-

shoos.
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES.
after receiving his Royal firothert, walked with
them to his stables, and orders were issued to their
Aid de-Camps to b? on Newmarket Hill, at eleven
o'clock to-morrow morning,and proceed from thence
to Telegraph Hill, where the itVit'W will be held.
The regiments are to be upon the ground at half-past
ten ; to march in open column, left and front ; to
take up their alinement on Newmarket Hill. The
aerie:ll of His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
will lea announced by a royal salute from the
Royal Artillery. When His Royal Highness arrives
at the centre of the line, he will be received by a r-
netal salute from the whole line, under the command
of Major• General HUGONAN. .1 he regiments will
march past, by troops and companies, in slow and
quick time; after which, the artillery will take up
different positions, covered by a proportion of the ca-
valry, and as the guns retire from the different posi-
tions, the cavalry will charge through these intervals,
until they came near the Peach, when the whole
will form a line, and fire three rounds, which will
be retained by the frigates and sloops in the offing,
by which the line will retire, lry an rehelton move-
ment, to the rear, and the infantry form an eta pet-
lens on Telegraph I lid; the cavalry and guns form-
ing in the centre of the rear of the infantry, when the
infantry tire two rounds, by companies, from right
to left, and retire to the rear, by files, from the
right of the companies ; on which the artillery will
commence a brisk ire, which will be succeeded by a
charge from the cavalry, during which time the infan-
try will form a line, by retiring to the rear on an ape.
column of companies, which will have a most beaud
tifut died. whilst the cavalry arc charging to the
front; then the cavalry will re;ire, and the whole
form an err ?dims, when a general salute will close

His Royal Highness the Prince of \Viso's, which
is highly seproved of by the whole of the Gen ral
Office's here; the former part is ascribed to the

GUILMH I.L.
The Feast of St. Michael, the customary day for
elee'ting the Lord Mayor, of London, falling th;s
year upon a S•olday (yesterday), the Logs
al avow., attended by Aldermen Sa:traiiiii„ News:-
n+ COAI BE, Sir CHA RUTS PRICE, SIIAW, Sir
‘VILLIAM LEIGHTON, FLOWER. BLOXAII, Lea.
HUNTER, PRINSEPP, the SHERIIISS, the Reertore.
COMMON SkRJEAST, &c. went. on Saturday, in
proceision from the Man.ion House to Guildhall,
for the purpose of submitting to the choice of the
livery, in Common Hall assembled, two person'
from among the Court of Aldermen, to fill the
offi,:e of Lord Mayor. for the year ensuing.—
They entered the Hall between eleven and twelve
o'clock, and imm-diarely commenced the elation
of the Sheriffs. The following Gentlemen were
nominated and approved of, without any oppo-
sition:—Alderman AiNSLEv, Citizen and Mer-
chant Taylor, and Alderman Citizen and
Skinner. They returned thanks to the Livery, after
which they were sworn into office in die usual form.
The Court of Aldermen then retired, and repaired
with the Loan Mayo' to St. Lawrence's Church,
where Divine Set vice was performed ; an excellent
sermon was delivered by the Rev. Maxtor Wools.
h;s Lordship's Chaplain They returned to the
Halt at two o'clock, and having ascended the hus-
tings, the Rccoaors came forward, and voted to
the Livery, that they were met to evocise one of
the greatest privileges they enjoyed, namely, that of
elating two able and fit persons to be returned to
the Court of Aldermen, for them to seleCt one to
serve the office of Lord Mayor, for the year en-
suing. 'Flie Com SION SERJEANT observed, that the
worthy RECORDER had explained the objat for
which the Common hall had been convened, and,
after a short preface, read the names of such Al-
dermen al, were eligible to that high station—The
first was,
JAMES SHAW, Esq. Alderman and Scrivener.
Upon this nomination, a respectable shew of hands
appeared in its favour, accompanied with strong
marks of dissatialation. The hands held up hi
favour of Sir WILLIAM LEIGH-los were not quire
so numerous. The next on the list was Alderman
Fi.owea, whose iiornination was received with
general bursts of approbation, and supported by a
great number of h•tods. Sir Marritaw Barn-
ass's name was proposed with nearly similar
marks of applauie. After a short pause, the CC/Al-
mon &creasy Came forward, and declared it to
be the determination of the Sotto rrio that the
choice of the Livery had fallen on Aldermen SHAW
and LEIGH roe. 'l' he instant this decision was all•
flounced, violent groans and hisses proceeded from
differlnt pans of the Hall, and the greatest dis-
content was manifested. Some exclaimed, "No
Sham ! no Shan ! ' while others cried out, "The ma-
sq. hand' are in foronr of Flower and Bloranr.”
The Court of Aldermen again retired to delibe-
rate, or rather to carry into drat their deliberations
already formed. They were absent about 10 mi-
nutes. Thcy returned with Alderman Suaw on
the right of the M v wt. There was some ap-
plause, bet the hisses prevailed.
The Rs:cottons stated, that tie Court of Alder-
men had approved of JAMES SHAW, Ifoq• to be
Lord Mayor, for the ensuing year ; and he was
declared Lord Mayor accordingly. amidst repeated
outcries of N. ! No! lit is laNt use choice.
The Loso NI Avon eleCt, bowed three timas, and
endeavoured to address the Livery; but they were
so exceedingly clamorous, that very little of his
speech could be heard. All we could coiled was,
that he thanked the Livery for their elation of him
to so eminent a situation. He professed his deter-
mination to execute his office with impartiality, in-
tegrity, and justice. He regretted that. the circum-
stances of the times should have impelled him to
that line of public duty, which was adverse to some
of the Livery, hut ne li id uniformly ailed from the
purest motives. Whatever might be his deficiency
in point of judgment, and personal merit, ho toyed
to supply by his honest zeal and attachment to his
Country and King, and his regard for the rights
and privileges of the people. He trusted too, that
his fallibility would be amply compensated, by the
experience and example of his predecessor; and by
the loyalty, good sense, and public spirit, of his
Fellow Citizens.
Mr. NICHOLS moved the Thanks of the Livery
Hall to the late Sheriff>, SCHOLEE and Dust-
LI.E.
Mr. SCHOLET, as the senior, first came forward
on the Hustings, and thanked the Livery for this
distinguished mark of their approbation ; declaring,
that nothing in the world would make him better
satisfied with his past condo t, and more zealous and
ambitious for the future, to contribute in every re-
spat to the welfare of the kingdom at large, and
more particularly of the great city to which lie
had the happiness more immediately to belong.
Mr. Dowel ate then came forward, and also ex-
pressed his gratitude for the unanimous thanks
which hail been voted to him and hi. worthy Col-
league, by their fellow-citizens. When he entered
into office, he said, he had determined to spare no
pains in performing the duties which were attached
to it ; and now that he was retiring from public
life, it would always be his greatest laciest, that lie
had merited the approbation of the Livery of Lon-
don. Nothing now remained, but again to thank
them sincerely for the honour they had conferred on

him.
The business being now over, the Common Hall
was dissolved, and the new 1..01in as•oa went ill
)11, State Carriage to the Mansion Hons.., preceded
by the City Officers, and State Trumpeters.
The Common Hall was trot so ilum•trouOy attend-
ed as on former occasion..
A Court of Aldermen will be held tomorrow, for
dispatch of public business.
