TABLES for the FANCIFUL—No.
CECILIA AND THE TULIP.
Amid the garden's peaceful shade,
At evening's tranquil hour,
Cecilia, meditating, strayed,
And in her leafy progress stayed,
To pluck a beauteous flower.
" Fair lady," (quoth the chosen bloom,
When taken from its stem)
" Those roses have a rich perfume—
Why take a tulip from the loom,
Instead of one of them ?"

Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed
The golden-petalled flower :
" Fair bloom, it was thy beauteous crest,
Which made me choose thee from the rest,
That blossom in the bower.

" Flora has clothed thee with attire,
Which few but thee assume ;
And 'tis this dress which ranks the higher,
However much I may admire
The rose's scented bloom."

APPLICATION.
I heard—and smile not w hen I say
I thought of Moses' Mart,
Where fashion's flower., in choice display,
Attract admirers, day by day,
From many a distant part.
This splendid suit, by Moses made,
Has won Cecilia's smile ;
She thinks the beauty here displayed,
Casts every other in the shade,
In point of make and style.
Had it not been for M. and Son,
She might have passed me by ;
But dress like this, excelled by none,
Has, like the tulip's beauty, won,
Cecilia's judging eye.

One halt the world are desolately single, and the otto
upposistg them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or b
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
water the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
3f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
'omprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ant broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and ,ozlil content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
„lea-tent. Honour and justice demp.nd that health should form an item
.0 the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
4ece.ect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, le. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, hut
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they aro offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, whieh alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittie publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
ty font Is. 6d.) called " What. to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be happy." They are not merely
pa rap :lets_ but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere sphemeral scribblipgs of the hour, but the study of the author's
!ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob.
serc.sua of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
wot...i he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

The weather throughout the day was delightful ; and at
an early hour in the afternoon almost every place of
business was closed, in order that the artizans of the
town might renew the enjoyment that lasted but a short
time on the previous day. Some 40,000 persons had by
six o'clock in the evening clustered within and around
the park; and old English amusements, aerial and pyro-
technic displays fascinated the multitude until a late hour
in the evening. The balloon ascent was again made; the
skilful aeronaut being accompanied by two sons of the
late mayor of the town. It descended in the Earl of
Derby's park shortly before seven o'clock, after voyaging
in the air about three-fourths of an hour. Relative to the
result of the fair in a pecuniary point of view, it may be
stated as most satisfactory; the amount realised exceed-
ing the most sanguine expectations of the committee,
whose zeal and industry in the furtherance of the
benevolent object in view were most commendable.
Their labours were unceasing., but they will receive an
ample reward in the satisfaction they experience from
having forwarded the interests of three of the most
excellent charities of which Liverpool can boast. The
committee are not yet in a position to state the receipts
with accuracy, as several sums are to be handed in from
various sources; but we have the best authority for
stating that the total sum will not be under 8,000/.; the
probability is that it will be rather more. Although the
police were numerous on the ground, the light-fingered
gentry were rather too successful in their depredations.

On Thursday they robbed the stall of the lady of the
Mayor to the extent of 30/.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
(From the Chronide.)
CHESTER, SUNDAY I•TIGHT.
The royal squadron arrived in Belfast Lough at five
o'clock on. Saturday.
The Queen was most loyally and brilliantly re-
ceived in Belfast.
At eight on Saturday evening her Majesty went
on board the royal
.yacht opposite Carrickfergus. The
weather was boisterous, and the time of sailing for
Scotland uncertain.

EMBARKATION AT KLNGSTOWN.
Her Majesty arrived at Kingstown about half- past
six o'clock. There were immense numbers assembled
to witness the embarkation. The piers and rocks
along the shore were densely crowded, and every spot
from which a view could be obtained was occupied.
As the royal train neared the terminus, the
shouting of the people extended along the -lint of
railing opposite Rathborne's Hotel was most enthu-
siastic. Towards the sea line of railway the splendid
clubhouse now in course of completion by the Boyal
Irish Yacht Club was filled with groups of fashion-
' Ales every rock that margined the waters
bore its mass of living beings, and the hardy sea-
man, the respectable mechanic, their wives and
children, mixed up with .those above them in rank
and station, presented a display that even the most
selfish or careless-could not pass by without having
some feeling excited or some kindly thought awakened
in their minds. Th,n the carriage-way above was
thronged with vehicles, and tip, wonder was from
whence so many could have collated. The reception
room at the railway was most tastefully ornamented
with evergreens and flowering shrubs from the
gardens of the Basyal Dublin Society piaci the College
Botanical Gardens; but- the grand coup diced was
that offered when the• Queen and Prince Albert, with
the Princes and 'Princesses, advanced upon the ter-
race, and gazed around upon the uplifted countenances
that far and near were directed to the one distinguish-
ing point. The eye of royalty rested on the distant
east pier, black with the congregated multitudes;
then on the splendid array below and within the pri-
vileged barriers ; and although the weather was then
lowering and dark, occasional breaks in the clouds
revealing the blue above, brought out the distant
landscape in clear relief, and Kitliney Hill, Howth,
and the several distinguishing characteristics of
the bay were sufficiently observable. The many
war steamers in the harbour and the yachts
were gaily dressed from stem to stern. The
Victoria and Albert, at four o'clock, had been moored
close to the jetty, and a crimson covered gang-
way led from the pavilion to the yacht. When on
the pavilion a space was kept clear, in order that her
Majesty and the royal cortege might have an unin-
terrupted view of the truly glorious scene spread
before them, and a few minutes had thus elapsed
before the steps leading to the covered way were
descended. With her Alajesty were his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert and his Excellency the Earl of
Clarendon. The Prince of Wales was also with them,
and behind walked the other royal children—a most
interesting group—the Princesses wearing round
straw hats, with a circlet of wild flowers, and being
simply and tastefully attired. Then came Prince
George of Cambridge and the Countess of Clarendon.
As the Sovereign passed along the covered way
bouquets of flowers were flung at her feet by the
ladies who occupied the enclosed seats ; and amid the
most fervent and swelling cheers, the roar of cannon,
presented arms, and the blessings of an attached
people, Queen Victoria was again on shipboard. The
guard of honour consisted of a company of each of
the infantry regiments in garrison—the Ist Royals,
2d Queen's Own, the 40th, 48th, 55th, 60th Rifles, and
71st Highland Light Infantry. .The embarkation took
place at twenty minutes to seven o'clock.
Just previous to her Majesty's embarkation, the
Earl= of Clarendon presented George Roe, 'Esq., to
the Sovereign, when her Majesty was most graciously
pleased to express her perfect satisfaction at all the
arrangements made by the Dublin and Kingston
Railway Company for her Majesty's reception and
departure. Her Majesty having embraced his Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge and the
Countess of Clarendon, and most cordially taken
leave of the Earl of Clarendon, and the other dis-
tinguished personages by whom she had been attended
to Kingstown, the gangway was drawn on shore, and
the Victoria and- Albert was cant off from the quay.
Lieutenant Hutchison had the honour of taking the
steamer into the bay, passing slowly round the inside
of the east pier, and on opproaphing the Light-house,
her Majesty, the Prince, and Royal children mounted
the starboard paddle-box, when the vast multitude
which covered the pier cheered most enthusiastically.
Her Majesty remained for a considerable time on this
elevated stand admiring the scene ; and Lord Adol-
phus Fit zclarence honoured Lieutenant Hutchison
by introducing him to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, who stated lie was satisfied with the arrange-
ments in the harbour, and the manner he had per-
formed his duty from the entering in until the depar-
ture of the royal squadron. Lieutenant Hutchison
has been harbour-master of Kingstown since 1823,
and during the course of his arduous professional
duties saved the Pandora, an 18-gun brig in the Bay
of Dublin, and also lost the use of his right eye in the
performance of his official functions.
KINGSTOWN, SATURDAY MORNING.
After the departure of the royal squadron, it rained
almost without intermission during the night, and
occasionally there were heavy showers towards morn-
ing. Up to three o'clock some small portion of the
multitude who witnessed the Queen's departure were
still making their way to Dublin, and the carmen
drove a most profitable trade. This morning- the
railway and the passage to the harbour presented a
singular contrast to the gay scene of yesterday—the
wet and drooping flags and canopies, the deserted
platforms and terraces, and the jaded and worn ap-
pearacc of the few who lingered near, being' the only
remnants of the public rejoicings-; whilst the wait-
ing-room at the railway terminus, so elegantly fitted
up for the royal reception; looked like " some ban-
quet-hall deserted."

- The Dragon steam-frigate, after escorting the royal
squadron a considerable way towards the north coast,
returned to Kingstown harbour about eight o'clock
this morning. La Hogue did not proceed with the
squadron beyond Howth light-house, where she was
signalled to take leave, and fired a salute of twenty-
one guns.
BELFAST, SATURDAY EVENING.
Your correspondent at Dublin will, ere this, have
apprised you that the royal squadron left Kings-
town for the north about sunset last even-
ing. As there were one or two vessels ad-
vertised to keep company with the fleet, I
should have sailed in one of them, but for two consi-
derations. In the first place, the
_weather gave pro-
mise of being foggy—a state of the atmosphere which,
added to the consideration of the voyage being by
night, would have prevented me from catching a
glimpse of the coast scenery ; and in the second place,
because although many private craft advertise that
they intend to keep up with her Majesty's fleet, the
announcement is in a great proportion of cases car-
ried out much in the same style as would be a pro-
clamation from me of my intention to run alongside
an express train to Birmingham or so—in proof
whereof I may cite the recent case of the Ajax, a
handsome looking sea going steamer, which started to
accompany the royal squadron into Cork, and came
steaming past the Turbot Bank into Cove, in splen-
did style, thirteen hours too late!
The history of last night's voyage, I am able, how-
ever, briefly to relate. The squadron started and
steamed steadily along the coast, following the usual
track to Belfast. Dublin-Bay, with its open breezy
downs, and long stretching sandy sinuosities, and
heathy and rocky headlands, was soon left behind.
Then the coast, as night fell upon land and sea,was. seen
stretching northward, a succession of bold rocky capes
and lower lying bays, dotted with the white specks of
distant fishing villages. The night closed—looking
ragged, dark, and stormy—what sailors, especially
upon wild and iron-bound shores, call a " dirty'
night. First rainy squalls swept blackly across the
water, and the sea.began to rise before their wrath.
About midnight the wind blew more than half a
gale—sweeping up Channel from the southward,
and speedily driving the " white horses," as
sailors call the large foaming crests of heavy
seas, fast and hard before it. The wind was nearly
dead astern, and the squadron went rolling before
it at a great pace—the royal yacht keeping in
the advanced portion of the fleet, and occasion-
ally floundering heavily in the fast flowing seas, while
the smaller vessels of the squadron made, as was to be
expected of craft principally intended for smoother
water, still, worse weather of it. The dawn was still
grey, coming tardily forth amid the driving mist and
the streaming rain, when the squadron whirled round
" Gray Point" of Belfast Lough, and were soon at
anchor in untroubled water.
Meantime, all Belfast was getting up and afoot.
Two or three - private steamers, intended to meet the
royal squadron, started from Queen's-bridge with a
tolerable number of passengers as early as three
o'clock in the morning, and as soon as it was ascer-
tained in Belfast that the Victoria and Albert had
actually put into the Lough, a steamer chartered by
the harbour commissioners, end bearing thAr flog and
that of the good town of Belfast, put off with the in-
tention of boarding the royal yacht, and learning her
Majesty's pleasure as to her disembarkation.

By breakfast time everything was prepared for the
reception, and thousands of eyes were directed to the
Lough, from the quays and the rigging of the vessels
in the river, everybody anxiously waiting for the first
glimpse of the Fairy.
Belfast—as everybody knows or ought to know—
is a handsome commercial town, lying at the head
of the great tame indentation of the sea, called Bel-
fast Lough, and at the point where the river Laggan,
debouching into salt water, forms the boundary be-
tween the county Down and the county Antrim.
This is clearly the least Irish city I have seen. The
people are a mixed breed, and from what I have
heard of them, I hardly think that Irish and Scotch
blood produces a good cross. There is here a want
of the fun—the vivacity—the careless good humour
—so delightfully characteristic of the more southern
parts of Ireland. The people have, comparatively, a
sour, cantankerous look. Besides, I have seen more
drunken men here—drunk at a very early hour in the
day—than I noted during a fortnight's stay in the
south. In clearing the streets the police did their
duty with something which I am strongly tempted to
call brutality; and yet I refrain, for in numerous
instances it appeared to me that without that bruta-
lity the duty in question could not be done. All
day long batons and switches were falling upon the
shoulders and faces of sturdy struggling malcon-
tents; and the only joking and laughter which I
heard were when women and children got stuck in
the masses of heavy wet clay which mark the spots
where the ballast commissioners have been widening
the quays.
Au rester - there is no denying that Belfast is a
handsome, openly-built, and clean looking town. Its
faults consists in its want of character. The broad
ample streets, well-painted and stuccoed houses, mag-
nificent -shops, and richly-adorned public edifices,
most of them of a commercial character, give ample
evidence of the trading and manufacturing prosperity
of the capital of Ulster. I suspect that more tall
chimneys rise by the muddy banks of the Laggan
than are to be found all over the green isle, and that
more hard-working clerks polish a greater number of
three legged stools than exist even in Dublin. I
admit all the commercial glory of the place ; yet,
still viewing it not with a Manchester eye, but with
one which loves to find mingled with evidences of
prosperity and thriving business some relics of an-
tiquity—some racy savour of the national soil—
some aroma of a distinct individuality—viewing the
city of Belfast with such feelings, I cannot help saying
that were my tent to be pitched in Ireland, itis not in
the capital of the " Black Northerns" that I would
most willingly drive in the pegs.
Not that one word of what I say touching the ,
apparent habits and temper of the people must be
construed into the ghost of an insinuation against
their loyalty, against the enthusiastic loyalty which
I have witnessed to-day. In no part of Ireland has
greater, in no part of Ireland I will add, have more,
tasteful preparations been made for the reception of
royalty. Instead of a temporary structure of flags
and canvass for her Majesty to land under, the
authorities of Belfast erected upon Chichester Wharf
a permanent, tasteful, and substantial covered way,,
decorated of course for the present occasion by abun-
dance of flags, wreaths, and festoons. A few paces'
from the landing place a handsome and symmetrical
arch conducted the royal cortege into the High-
sstreet, a principal thoroughfare, running at
right angles from the river side back into
the city. Were it not that your readers may be
by this time tolerably well surfeited with enusne-
rations of triumphal arches, of scarlet-covered and
flag wreathed scaffolds and canopies—of loyal mottoes
painted and gilded—of festoons of flowers—of twining
laurel boughs, and of flags of every size, shape, and
concatenation of sizes and shapes, I would go on to
describe how the handsome streets of Belfast were
decorated with all these loyal marks of rejoicing. As
it is, I may safely add that the streets in question
were. more thickly studded with these adornments
than were either those of Dublin or Cork ; that there
was to the full as much inventive power displayed in
the matter of mottoes of welcome; and that the
exceedingly brilliant display of bunting fluttering
before the white and handsome ranges of architecture
which 'make up the principal streets, produced a
delightfully gay effect., Gaudy colours tell before
highly painted façades infinitely better than they do
fluttering in the front of dingy masses of' grimy brick.
I mentioned that the Harbour Commissioners,
in their steam yacht, went down the Lough imme-
diately on receipt of the news of her Majesty's arri-
val. Time wore on after their departure, and by ten
o'clock the quays lining the river side were thronged,
the shipping gaily dressed, like Joseph, in suits of
many colours, and the many platforms erected on
either bank well filled with eager spectators.
The entrance to Belfast by sea is not particularly
striking. Let me briefly sketch it. Suppose we are
in the
,Lough, looking towards the citye It is a tame
piece of sheltered water, if the tide be in ; if the re-
verse it is a still tamer piece of sheltered mud and
sand, with a strip of water in the centre. The land
on the right is Antrim, that on the left Down.
Neither bank can lay claim to anything like romantic
beauty. One, however—the Antrim shore—is tole-
rably hilly, the ridges being, however, long-sided,
lumpish, and round ; the other spreads flatly away.
Both shores are well cultivated, and as you approach
Belfast you mark on the left the white villas of the
pleasant little bathing village of Hollywood—
the Margate of Ulster. Presently the flat
swampy expanse of the Queen's Island stretchei
out before you. To obtain an idea of it, fancy the
navigable channel of the Thames cut through the
Docks from Limehouse to Blackwell, instead of
running round the southern extremity of the Isle of
' Dogs. What that Island so treated would be to
London, that is Queen's Island to Belfast. Of
course you follow the artificial channel. It has the
advantages of straightness and depth, certainly not
those of beauty, and it conducts you between a
pair of dam-like river walls to a spot with wharfs,
houses, and shipping on the left-hand—and wharfs,
houses, shipping, and docks upon the right-hand—till
you have fairly entered the trading port of Belfast.
Behind the half-stripped rigging of the vessels in the
docks rises the multitudinous mass of the buildings
of this city. The eye in vain searches for anything
like a tangible feature, save and except the smoke
pouring chimneys of the flax mills. The town is
built upon a flit, beneath gentle continuations of
the hills which bound the waters of the Lough ; and
running the eye along the valley towards Lisborne
you observe, amid scattered farms, valleys, and
clumps of trees, many spots where the green sward
seems clothed as it were with patches of half-melted
snow. These white points are webs of Irish linen,
drying in the bleachfields. I have said that the River
Laggan runs through Belfast. Two bridges span it
close to each other—Queen's-bridge and Laggan.
bridge—the one a white, new, and neat structure—
the other grey, crumbling, and old fashioned. The
former, spanning the direct channel, was crowded
with spectators. Looking down the river they would,
see, to the left, the triumphal arch and landing stage,
where the Fairy was to bring up, .backed by stands
and pavilions well filled with spectators; on the right
a long line of coaster-crowded wharfs—the array of
brig and schooner rigging broken some way down by
the massive funnels and symmetrical spars of the
steamers which ply between Belfast, Glasgow, Liver-
pool, Fleetwood, and Ardrossan.
It was upon one of these galleries on the Antrim
side of the river that I stationed myself to observe
the royal approach and landing. The better part
of the night and morning had, as I stated, been wet
and boisterous, and a strong and rising gale was
blowing from the south, driving the scud before it in
grey flying masses, and only permitting every now
and then a pale and watery blink of a stormy sun.
The surrounding hills were crested with wreathing
vapours, and at a distance of a very few miles all was
absorbed in a grey veil of blotting haze. I was not I
much surprised, therefore, when the Commissioners'
packet returned from the lower parts of the Lough
and announced that her Majesty felt so exhausted
from the effects of her last night's tossing, that she
would postpone her landing until one o'clock.
It was not, however, until considerably after that
hour that the raking masts of the Fairy were des-
cried in the lower reaches of the river. The mili-
tary—a detachment of the 13th—who, assisted by a
body of
_armed pensioners and police, kept the
ground, immediately stood to their arms. The cor-
poration of Belfast, who, in magnificent new scarlet
cloaks, and headed by the Mayor, Mr. W. Johnstone,
had been for some time in attendance, bustled about
with their address, and their keys and mace, in a high
state of loyal fidgets—and presently the faintly-heard
reports of the guns upon Queen's Island, their heavy
sound struggling up against the wind, anounced the
near approach of the Fairy.
On she came between the two tiers of anchored

crowded shipping—a long, continuous hurrah, t

•
were amongst the first to go on board and offer their
congratulations to their Sovereign.
The corporation next presented their address, which
as usual was graciously received. Some delay took
place in her Majesty's landing iu consequence of the
landing stage provided being somewhat too high for
such a low-built craft as the Fairy. At length, how-
ever, the carpentering obstacle was overcome, and
amid a burst of the most vehement cheering, the
Queen set her foot in the province of Ulster. Lord
Londonderry's carriage was in waiting, and the pro-
gress through the streets of Belfast forthwith begun.
To describe all its features would only be to re-
write a great part of what I have already indited as
to the reception in Cork and Dublin. Let it suffice
to say that no symbols of devotion and affection could
he more marked or striking than those which in every
street, and at every corner, were tendered by the vast
and excited multitudes to the Queen.
First she proceeded to the Linen-hall—a large,
quadrangled building, devoted to the uses of the
principal producers of the staple branch of national
manufacture. Here she was received by the Com-
mittee of the Irish Flax Society, headed by its
President, the Marquis of Downshire, and conducted
through a series of rooms, in which were tastefully
arranged specimens of the manufacture of linen, in
every stage of its progress, from the flax plant to the
finished commodity, worth, in soine instances, thirty
guineas per pound weight. Many of the fabrics
shown were of the most exquisite delicacy, display-
ing in an eminent decree the high artistic skill of
their producers. Her Majesty signified her approba-
tion in a very substantial way—namely, by giving
very substantial orders. -
From the Linen. hall the -foyal party proceeded to
the Queen's College, where they were received by the
Principal, Dr. Henry. After having minutely in-
spected this handsome building, the Rev. Principal in-
formed her Majesty, in answer to her inquiries, that
the college would be open for the purposes to which
it is destined in October.

The Botanic Gardens formed the next point se-
lected for the royal inspection. Her Majesty and
the Prince drove through these beautifully kept
grounds in a low phaeton of novel and very graceful
design, drawn by a pair of cream-coloured ponies,
all of which—the vehicle and the steeds, are, we be-
lieve, to be offered, if they have not already been, for
the acceptance of her Majesty.
Having thus seen at least three of the lions of Bel-
fast, the royal party drove again throng% the streets
to the quay, the cortege everywhere forming the ob
ject of the most eager curiosity and the most enthu-
siastic plaudits. Music swelled and cannon roared as
the Queen re-embarked, and a few moments
thereafter the Fairy was, with her attendant boats,
standing down towards the Lough, bearing her
'Majesty away, for the present, from her Irish do-
minions.

While I write, the squadron continues to remain
at anchorage almost opposite Carrickfergus. The
weather is very rough, and the exact time of her Ma-
jesty's departure for the Clyde is unknown.
Thus, then, has ended in fervent loyalty, and amid
national acclamations the first visit of the Queen of
Great Britain to Ireland. Thus it has ended as it
began, confounding the sinister prophecies of those
short-sighted and false-judging seers who predicted
from it but the manifestation and the development of
the seeds of disunion and hostility between the nations,
and proving—if facts can prove aught—that, despite
of the efforts of the demagogues and agitators, the Bri-
tish Crown has not, in the eyes of Erin, lost one whit
of its grandeur or its lustre.

IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT-NEW ROYAL
PEERAGE..

DUBLIN, SATURDAY NIGIIT.—The Evening Post
has the following announcemenf:—
" With the sincerest pleasure we are enabled to an-
nounce that it is the Queen's intention to create the
Prince of 'Wales Earl of Dublin, as a testimony and
a record of the heartfelt satisfaction which her Ma-
jesty has derived from the loyal feelings and kindness
with which she has been received by the inhabitants
of the metropolis, and in order at once to establish a
connexion between his Royal Highness and her Ma-
jesty's Irish subjects. The recollection that this
title was borne by the illustrious father of her Ma-
jesty, whose claims upon the gratitude of Irishmen
have been so appropriately acknowledged since her
Majesty came to this country, will render, the revival
of the title, in the person of his grandson, a
source of additional gratification to the public. The
Prince of Wales is also Duke of Cornwall, in
England, and of Rothsay, in Scotland ; and the title
of Earl of Dublin will, in like manner, always, here-
after be borne by the heir-apparent to the crown of
these realms." •

• I'Vhilst the royal squadron was passing from the
harbour of Kingstown into the Bay of Dublin yester-
day evening, and her Majesty and Prince Albert
stood upon the.paddle-box of the Victoria and Albert,
the royal standard was lowered five separate times, as
a signal mark of the impression produced upon her
Majesty by the enthusiastic manifestations of the
multitudes who crowded ulion the piers and in front
of the harbour.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin (Alderman O'Brien,
M.P.) is to be created a baronet. The letters patent
will not issue for a week or two.

Fourteen of the Roman Catholic bishops signed the
address to her Majesty presented at the levee. The
entire number of Roman Catholic prelates in Ireland
is 27; but three sees—Armagh, Cloyne, and Derry—
are vacant.

Regarding the presentation of the Presbyterian
address, the Rev. Richard Dill, one of the deputation
from the General Assembly, has addressed the follow-
ing communication to the Evening Post:—
" 25, Eccles-stieet, Aug. 10, 1849.
" Sir,—Your leading article in the Post of yesterday
is eaku!ated to convey the impression that the honour of
the private entree was extended only to the Church of
England and Roman prelates, and that their addresses
were the only ones which her Majesty received on the
throne;' as one of the deputation of the General As-
sembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, which
were appointed to present an address to the gleen, I
feel it to be my duty to hate that the honour of the
private entrée was also extended to them, and that
their address was likewise received by her Majesty ' on
the throne.'

" From the place which the Presbyterian representa-
tives occupy in your list of those presented to the Queen,
it would be supposed that they were presented at the
ordinary levee, and came after the deputations from
several provincial towns ; whereas they were presented
immediately after the representatives of the Established
andltornan Catholic Churches.—Begging your insertion
of this in your next, I am your obedient servant,
