DUBLIN, MARCH T 6.
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held his
second Levee si the Castle on Wednesday.
The Drawing-room at the C.istle last night was
very numerously attended; most of the Nobility
And Gentry re,ident in and about the metropolis
were prossPiss.
Mr. V 1111.1.14111 FARREN made his first appear-
ance at this Theatre, last night, in the character of
Peter Teazle. iu SHERIDAN', admirable comedy
of The School fur Scandal. Mr. FANREN'S en-
trance was greeted with that cordiality which a Dub-
lin audience never fail to bestow on an old favourite ;
the applause continued a considerable time during
which he hoard respectfully and repeatedly to every
part of the house distinctly ; when the warm ex-
pression of regard had subsitded, and that Mr. FAIL-
NEN proceeded io his part, it appeared that the
sound of his voice revives' these feelings. as he was
agaiu loudly and rapturously cheered. Mimi Cowa-
rt-ow was very welt received ; she was very succesful,
sod was warmly applauded.

We understand we were incorrect in stating that
Mr. MA DOCKS. M.P. had accepted the offrce of
Vice-Chamberlain to her MAJESTY. We received
the information from Brecon.—(Cambrian.)
A meeting of the merchants and ship-owners of
Dock (Plymouth) was held on Thursday, for the
porpoise of petitioning the House of Commons
*gona the reduction of the existing duties ou
foreign timber. The proposed measure seems to
have excited considerable alarm among the par-
ties concerned in the trade, inasmuch as a decided
preference appears to be given to the foreign mer-
inherit by the reduction of the duties, ahil-t the
heavy odditiosal ones intended to be Unposed on
colonial timber will he the means of raising the
price to the consumer, and eventually annihilating
tie trade hitherto carried on at this place. The
exports of Brutish manufactured goods to British
North America, from this place, have amounted
to many thousands per annum, whilst dime to
Norway have been literally nothing.—(Congdon's
Plymouth Telegraph.)
