NOLYMEAD. JULY '2S.

Sir B. Blomefield has just arrived here, with his
family and is numerous suite on his way to Dublin.
He remains for the night at Moran's Hotel, where
he is provided with excellent accommodations, and
will embark to.morrow at seven o'clock, on board
the Lightning steam ioseket, Captain Skinner. Its
the mean time his Majesty is expected to arrive on
the Bth of next month, at the seat of the Marquis
of Anglesey, in this neighbourhood, and the priu.
cipal persons for some miles round are to meet out
Monday next, to prepare a suitable Address for
the occasion.
It is understood that his Majesty, after staying a
day or two with the Marquis, will enter this har-
bour, and come to anchor at a short distance From
the shore, but will not land. His Majesty's inten-
tion is to wait the return of Sir B. Blomefield, who,
as soon as all the arrangements for his Mi.jesty's re-
ception are completed, will come off immediately
to communicate the fact, and his Majesty's yacht,
followed by the royal squadron, will then sail for
the Bay of Dublin, without further delay.

The rumor gains ground daily, and is not with-
out some semblance of authority, that our harbour
will be honoused by the presence of his Majesty.
This high distinction is, we have good reason to
know, anticipated by those who would not enter
into extensive arrangements on mere couject•re.
That the city will enjoy the presence of Royalty, is
doubted; as the utmost approach spoken of 1M pro-
Wile, is a row up the chancel within sight of Cork.
We have heard, indeed, that a sail round the bar.
boor is only at present contemplated by those who
have arranged the Royal party. One thing, how-
ever, is certain, which is, that if his Majesty enters
the harbour, there can exist duabt of his visit-
ing the Spencer.
Other reports say, that arrangements are in pro-
gress whereby his Majesty will be met by carriiges
and a suitable escort at Rostellan, and travel thence
to Knocklofty, the seat of Earl Doao•gbamee,
where we learn the most splendid preparat►ons have
been made for his reception, and in a day or two
proceed from thence to Dublin. From his Ma-
jesty's usual exped►tion in travelling, these move-
ments are not improbable.—(Cork Mercantile
Chronicle.)

Mr. WALLER, apothecary to his MAJEsTY's per-
soli, left London on Tuesday for Holyhead. on his
way to Dublin. le be in attendance during the
Royal visit to Ireland.

On Wednesday last the Berwickshire yeomanry
cavalry, commanded by Lieut.-Col. MAILSAALL.
being assembled at Douse for their annual period
of exercise, unanimously requested their Command-
ing Officer to convey to the Commander of the
Forces isi Scotland. an expression of their readiness
to perform any services that may be required in the
event of hi* MAJIISTY visiting that part of the
United Kingdom.
