While the Minister was uttering this beautiful
and pathetic prayer, all were deeply affected : the
military did not disdain to express their emotions
in an audible manner, and several times we saw the
Great Chamberlain wipe away the tears from his
line manly countenance. As to the immediate
mourners, including the servants of the Queen's
household, we never saw more utiequivitcal.and un-
affected sorrow. When the prayer was finished.
and htfire the mourners left the tomb, the hundred-
young ladies were admitted, and formed a large
circle rtiund the platform: they strewed dowers on
the Boor ; and then haring prepared some wrewths,
wranged them in different forms on the coffin ; they
14eii knelt down, uttered a short prayer, and re-
tired amidst the train and sobs of the company.
Even Sir G. Naylor was :visibly affetted by this
beautiful and pathetic incident. The funeral was
over about two, and in lea+ thm half an hour the
streets were eurapletely empty, and all was as silent

lemnly consigned.

and ralating ill around him its the most affa-
ble manner. The royal carriage halted on the
rising ground nearly opposite the otielisk, from
whence his Majesty viewed the different objects of
interest or curiosity about him, which were pointed
riot by the Marquis Conyngliarn. After itelseing
about fifteen or twenty soioutes, his ;lajesiy drove

GRAND DINNER OF TRINITY COLLEGE TO HIS

Yesterday will be remembered by the Univer-
sity of DOWlii as one of the proudest days in its
*mask since it obtained its charter from Elizabeth.
It had the high honour of entertaining his Mu-
je.ly King George the Fourth within its walls. and
the entertainment prepared fur his itrlajesty was on
a seek of splendour that refl.-ets infinite credit on
the taste. spirit, and liberality of the College.—
The arrangements for this classic feast have been,
from time to time. communicated to the public,
and it only remains for us now to state the pro-
ceedings of the day, without any tepetition of the
pa oculars already knowo.
His Majesty, who returned from Slane Castle
about nowi, arrived at the College at five minutes
before six o'ckdt. His Majesty's suite occupied
three carriages; and thew, together with the car-
. siege of his Beerliency the Lord Lieutenant, were
escorted by a troop of the 7th Hussars. His Ma-
jest), was received by the Provost, Senior Fellows,
Doctors of Law. the scholars and students of the
University. &c. &e., who awaited his Majesty's ap-
pease,' at the 'ardour prepared for that purpose.
a little above the !loll; it wee a temporary avenue,
leadiag into the garden by a platform, which was

roofed, and decorated with blue drape ry. end fan-
cifully ornamented witb muslin curlews. &c. This
invitee wee terminated by an awning, similarly
•esivismicied, and communirated with the passage

through the gardens. which I,cl to the library.
Through this tras.age the King aasmtioducted to
the Library. At the entrance t• thra magnificent

Visitor, his Wieldy was rereived by the Provost

dressed his Msje.t.y in ►uitable teems at gratitude
and welcome. About one hundred and ally per.

consisted of his Majesty's immediate friends, the
Dignitaries of the State. the Church►, sod the Law,
and Noblemen of the highest rank. Shortly after
the arrival of the King, they were invited to the din-
ner hail, and each individual bore a ticket litlfll.
twred, which introduced hint to a seat corresponding
therewith, so that in a few minutes the whole company
were seated with the greatest ease ■nd precision.
The King's table was elevated two steps above
the others. A large silver ',lmmo ens placed upon
it, which extended nearly from end to end, hold-
ing on its surface a variety of alabaster and spar
figures. From the refiectilig brilliancy of this or-
nament it seemed not unlike one of those well•con-
trived iinitations of • huspid sod r g stream,
cunt►i g troll and silver fi.h, which has so often
adorned the tables oft:m.lton Palace. Eight of his
Majesty's servant., in splendid state liveries of
purple and gold, were in attendance at the Royal
table. A rich service of missive gold and silver
plate decorated the two spacious sideboards on the
right and left of this table—two rows of tables ex-
tended down the centre of the hall, which were
laid out in a very tasteful manner ; several
when; were placed along the walls on either side.
The monument of the late Provost, Baldwin,
masked in a most skilful manner, by ass imitation
of kabob marble, winds was so comet, acted as
nether to resemble au emblematic trophy than a
tomb ; around the upper ledge* were played live
bronze Agates each holdiug a candelabras, with
three lights ; above thase the urn was filled with a
gay variety of beautiful flowers; wreathes of deco-
rative and delicate retitle, were fancifully entwined
and suspended from the top, which completed the
most elegant effort of modern a►t its the hall. Th•
The canopy over his Majesty', Thrmie was of rids
crimson, with gob' fringe ; ou rash side of hie Ma..
jesty's Chair were two btautitul saver stands, each
holding a uun►-ter iii beautiful wax-lights; the
other tables toed no lights placed on them, but
from the ceiling were suspended three splendid
chandeliers; the centre one was peculiarly effective
—around the Banqueting hill, and over the well
filled side.boaids, were a sufficient number of side
lust rue. _ _

The organ-lofs, at one extremity of the hall, was
partitioned not for the reception of the choir and
female apeetytors; there latter were, for the nioYt
pelt, of high rank, very• elegantly dewed, and we
do not remember to have seen an assemblage of
qe fair more remarkable, as well for the elegance
of their ncrimerit as their personal charms.
From the Library to the Examieationyhall a
cover.d platform was erected. A Impunity en-
trance was prepared for his Alajeyty at the youth
end of the hall ; and thus the fto of this
room for the reception or the Royal guest, arising
from its iyolated pito:1600, was avoid. d.

Ile entered the dming-ball at twenty minutes
after six o'clou k, preceerlerl by several persons of
ins suits•, and attended by the ['nowt, she I'6-
mate, the Lord Chancellor, sins, other per-ouinges
of very high rank. Ile took los rhinos) under a
coliopy sit the centre of the Royal table, and the

On the entrance of his Majesty, the company,
who had previously taken their seats, stood up, and
the Kiug advanced to the Throne, which had been
prepared for him as before described, and the usual
College Grace being said by Dr. Lloyd. one of the
Senior Fellows, his Majesty bowing to those imme-
diately in his front, and then to those at tither side,
sat down; the company in their turn made their
obeisance to the King, and took their seats.
At his Majesty'. tilde, on his right. were the
Provost, the Lord Cutter Justice of the King's
Bench (Vice-('hancellor id' the College,) the Lord
Primate, the Marquis of Headhort, the Lord (:boo-
cellar, and the Archbishop of T(111111 ; uu the left,
his Excellency the bad Lieutertaiit, the Audi.
bishop of Dublin, toe Duke of Moutruse, Lord
Viscount Sidmuuth, and the Lord Mayor.
His Majesty wasottettiltil at dinner by two Noble.
tarn bearing wands, and by eight of his Majesty's own
Ms, in magnificent liveries of purple and gold.
During the time of dinner his Majesty conversed
familiarly, and with much earoestaiess of manner,
with the Lord Lieutenant and the Provost; and to
the unrestrained and polished urbanity or his Ma-
jesty, we were delighted to perceive, that his Ma-
jesty conjoined that degree of ease and cheerfulness
which denoted good health, and a happy elevation
of spirits. In troth, the cordiality of Isis Nlajesty's
demeanour communicated pleasure to all around
/dm.

Whys) the dinner was removed, the Provost rose,
and having called the attention of the company to
the toast lie was about to 'givs, emphatically pro-
nounced—
" His Majesty the Xing."
The enthusiastic cheering with which this toast
vftts received tired scarcely be descfthed ; the com-
pany inwriediately stood op, and tilling their glasses
to the brim, drank to the health of their benign and
gracious Sovereign, with all the usual demonstra-
bona of attachment and love. The grand ,'.metal
Anthem of " Cod save the King." was iterformed
by the choir, and two new stanzas, appropriate to
the occasion of his Majesty'. visit, were sung by Mr.
Smith, with line effect; the chorus was e posed
of Sir John Stevenson, Mr. %reprint', Mr. Jager,
and other musical professor., who occupied places
in the gallery ; the King and the whole company
stood during the perlierniance, to which the deep.
toiled swelling notes of the Amin ht organ, which
had been lint tutu repair fur the occasion, gave con-
siderable effect.

Ms toast was greatly applauded. Earl Talbot
made Ins acknowledgments, and the choir sung
" Glorious Apollo,"
The next toast was " Prosperity to Ireland,"
also by.consinand or his Majesty.
The Duke of Montrose (Master of the Home)
now went to order the King's carriage, and in a few
moments his Majesty rose to depart. He shook
the Lord Chancellor warmly by the hand soil
stalked down the centre of the Hon to the
great door, bowing to the company who had all
risen, at either aisle, with much affability, yet great
dignity of rummer. His Majesty recognised and
saluted particularly several persons as lie passed
along. He ascended his carriage just at • •
o'clock, and was attended to it by all the principal
personages who were present. The Lord Lieute-
omit, the Lord Ch.snevllor, the Chief Juatoce, the
Archbishop of Dithlid, the Hoke of Montrose, the
Marquises of Headfirst, Graham, and Vl'inchrster,
Lord Sidinnatli, and Sir Benjamin Blometield, took
their departure at the same nine with his Alajesty.
