DTAILIN, JULY 25.—The elegance and splenclo3,r
of the'entertainment given by her Grace the Dit-
chess of RICI3MOND,-'6ll Tuesday last, surpassed in
magnificence every thing of the kind we ever wit-:
tressed. The novelty of• the arrangement . added
fresh interest tb the variety and hilarity of the scene.
At about two &clock the company assembled, and
in a short time afterwards, a Lottery 'having-been
previously prepared, consisting of prizes composed of
various articles from the Charitable Repository-and
House of Industry, the drawing 'ceinitsenced in a
tent appropriated to the purpose. In booths through-
outrthe grounds were placed several of the respectable
tradespeople of Dublin, with setections of their most
valuable Irish rni:MufaCtures. Thus the ever active
mind o oUr amiable Vice-Queen sought to cop-
bine pleasure with profit to the Citizens of Doblin.
We understand the sum received by the Lottery for
the Charitable Repository and House of Industry
amounted to between one and two hundred guineas.
At 'about lour 'o'clock the doors of a large suite.of
apartments were thrown open, presenting a inagnifi- :
cent dejeane and cold collation, which was enlivened •
by the exertion of those comic talents which Mr.
MUNDEN so amply possesses. The health of the
Noble Donor was proposed and enthusiastically
drank with three times three. The dancing coin-,;:
menced about five o'clock, under arches twined with
roses and jessamine. Our beloved Viceroy opened
the ball with Lady E. LITTLEHALES, then foliowed:l
Lady MARY LENOX, Lord KINNOULL, &c. &c: The
Duchess of MANCHESTER led off the second set with
Capt. GORE, and one of his Grace's Aid-de-Camps,
to our favourite national air of St. Patrick's Day.—
Whilst the dancing continued, the festive throng
wandered in various gro,upes through the gardens.—.
All was animation and delight—every breast, beat
with gratitude and pleasure, and joyful vivacity
sparkled in every eye. The prizes obtained in the
Lottery opened a wide field for raillery. ;There the
finished Coquette received a Veil to conceal her art-
ful glances—the Petit Maitre, a warlike trophy—or
the rough Soldier, a Bay's Cap; whilst the various
booths afforded the national gallantry an opportunity
of displaying itself in Petites Gages d'ilmoureld.elm?
tie! At about eight o'clock this happy festive circle
began to separate, every soul acknowledging t hat part-
ing was the only unpleasant moment of the day.
CLONMEL, JULY, 23.—0 n Wednesday last, Wm.
Loughnane and John Dwyer were publicly whipped
through the town of: Cahir, pursuant to their sen-
tence at the last Assizes, f having tumultuously
assembled and rioting, and the former assuroings
the name of Shanavest, and the latter that of Ca-'
ravat.
The gallantry and spirit of the yeomanry of this
country evinces an ardour, in the cause "of their
country, and a wish to relieve a suffering nation from
the thraldom of BUONAPARTE, •wnieh has been
scarcely. equalled. Oti Saturday last a Communica-
tion was forwarded to Government, which 4ntiounc-
ed, that Officers and men, amounting ;0 boo, of dif-
ferent Corps, offered to volunteer their services in
Spain as sharp;shooters ; and we are informed the,
-Right Hon. Lord DUNALLY, Sir R. WALLER, BartJ
Captains PEPPER, ANDREWS, TOWERS, VAUGHkt,
and CARDEN, with several other respectable cha-
racters, proposed to lead them to this active service:
It is computed that nearly 1000 yeotnany will offer.
in this county, and if only 200 volunteered from
each other county in Ireland, there would be a dis-
poseable force of upwards of 7000 gallant heroes.

On Thtirsday evening, as the Earl of PAULETT
was taking an airing in a curricle, in Hyde-park,

Yesterday at noon, as the Faringdon stage-coach
was going from the Angel Inn, Angel-street,. by
some accident it overturned in Aldersgate-street, by
which one woman, who was on the roof of the
coach; had her leg broken; and several others were
so.materially hurt as to prevent their proceeding-on '
