-VICE-REGAL TOOR

IRISH cOt,IIZT AT W)UNTSHANNON.

[From M‘DonnOl's Limerick Gazette, Oft. tr:vl
This princely mansion, so often. visited by the re
presentatives of his Maiesty in this country, was.
now again dignified by the reception of , the illus-
trious House C.). Richmond,. and the Irish Court
while, on the part of the accomplished Countess,
who, r.:ceived thew, and of her noble son, nothing
was wanting that was due to such a visit,.to, them-
selves, or to the magnificent memory of. the late.:
Earl of Clare.
On Thursday, about four o'clock, the splendid
train took its departure from the Bishop's Palace, in
this..city, and were met on the..way by the Countess.
and the Earl of Clare,` and their suite, attended by
all the- leading geMletnen of the neighbour=hood,
While the entire. population oC the district lined the
highways; and .honfites.and ieclamationS, inspiring
and diffilsing loyalty, cheered and greeted every steti
of their progress.-
On ; their arrival at Mountshannon, the Vice-regal'
party was joined by the Earlq and Countess of Mayo,
Lady-Cahir, Sir Hugh and. Lady Massey, Mrs.
chardson and Miss Stewart; Mr. Walley, and Col;
ruitnn,' as residents in the house; and about seven
o'clock they sat dOwn to a sumptuous entertain.
ineirt, with several of the principal inhabitants of the
country; among whom were the Lord Chief Baron
and his Lady, Colonel Odell, represent ,ti% e ire Par.
liament for the County, Mr. Preriderg;.l-it Smyth,
Colonel Vereker; Majur;-General Sir James Affleck,
Rll6ll Brock,;. Archdeacon 'Warburton, Collector
and Mrs. Waller; Mr.; and Mrs. Grady, of Belmont,
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur, and Col. Keane; 'and the
evening passed away in the had perfeetion of- social
and fashiona,)le h. planes.
The weather having taken an auspicious turn,
from constant rain and excessive gloom; to serenity
and sunshine, Graces intimated:a wish -to.vis.tt
some of the inbst• beautifi* situations up. the river,
and obligingly accepted MrsGradyls invitation to a
rijercite next morning, at Belmont.
This was no ordinary event, it required more
than ordinary exertion—it called forth all the taste
ot the proprietors of that enchanting-villa, and the
result was suitableio the exigency ot the case.
On Friday, at three o'clock, their Graces and
suite, and the entire party from Mountshannon,.ar-
rived at Belmont, .and ir.imediately upon their en-
trance,
irresistibly expressed their delight -at the
beauty of the scene that lay before them--a land-
scape that would have fired and dazzled the ima-
gination of Claude Lorraine—a scenery, of banks,
and wood, and water, that ma). vie with any spot of
the. universe, while groupes ot beautiful women (in
elegant morningdresses, with plain ornaments, in
honour of her Grace) heightened the•animatr.in and
brilliancy of the seen.:, and more than realized, be,
cause it exceeded, all the fictions of Arcadian pas,
toral.

• Bands of musical performers, stationed in the
the groves, and on' the banks of the river,
contributed, by turns, ail the softness and all the
sublimity of music; while a.numeroesiand magni-
ficent fleet or canoes, now falling down, and now
climbing up the rapid declivities of .the stream, left
DO part of this sublime theatre unfurnished ; and
then, upon a 'signal given, immediately drew up
alueg the .shore, and wain over the whole company
together to the, _Elysium of Doonass.
• Here their Giaces were received by Sir Hugh and
Lady Massey,. aiNd conducted by them along the wa-
ter-fall to the turret, where they graciously and.re-
peatedly expressed their delight
,and.admiration at
the magnificence of the scene; then returning once
more, committed themselves to thecanoes, and land-
ing at Belmont, passed through a suite of elegant
apartments to a dejeune, completely in characqe. r with
the landscape in 'magnificence, after which they re-
paired to Mountshannon.
The evening having been appointed for a ball, a
numerous company.assembled in the library andball-
room at 1 t o'clocii, and the ball was immediately
opened by .his Grace .and Lady Isabella Fitzgibbon=
a first appearance, .as interesung as it. was youthful,
and giVitig promise of an hereafter that will,atiracf
and charm the human heart. The room was &blaze
