he birth-day of the, Prince Regent :Amitel
this opportunity, and the loyelty.of our-venni&
ceet Chief Magistrate, embraced it to give the
riesi selendid hall un4 supper ever seen 'in- this
city. The great front of the Mansion-house ex-
hibited a most tastefel and brilliant spectacle; time
entrence was through- a triumphal arch, over-
lehich was the Pcince's Plume in variegated lamps,
and under the letters G. P. R.
The large windows on the grand stair-ease
were furnished with beantifol transparencies, with
appropriAte devices. The approach to the great
rooms on the right of the building, which were
alt thrown open for the reception of the company,
W'S throueh a grove of lemon and orange trees,
/most fancifully bellied with varieeeted lamps; the
company began o essem'Ae ahhut ten o'clock,
and at eleven the ball was opened by the Marquis
of 'fliontond and Lady Perrier, with the Regent's
Waltz.
The ball-room, most . judiciously ar7anged, was
bung 11 ith draperies of traesparent gauze of eeere
blue spotted with gold, and fastened in the cen-
tre of the ceiling, ue the style of a Turi:ish tent,
with wreaths of roses and gold !shapes, from
tit hick was sit:spend :d I very superb lustre of rut-
glass with sixty lights, rotuid the upper part of-
the .room banners of white satin, some painted,
'ethers embroidered in gold, The, Prince's_Plinee•
embroidered in gold, tied with a, wreath corn-
pe;ed „of. the Rose, the Sieamrock, and the
Thistle, was most renspienons. Theebtneing
,con-
tinued until one o'clock, when supper was tin
nattered-. Ou eptering the..greatehanquetingroom
on the let- of the huilding,, the coup (Veva was
uncommonly fine ; the upper cud was the Prince's'
most done i.l3mps,
at.the,other, the aritts of the City of Cork ; the
upper part of 11p- waF Prnameritcd with tes-
tcons of laurel aed ruse ; from four eael;:s
placed at each corner, issued a wrcatle of la eel
arid rose tertnina*tiog in the centre of•the eeii fig,
fro-, r-high hung a rut-glass dome, Over a very
b 9 eltiful temple of painted glass, placed in toe.
in.sAlle of the principl supper table. •
The sopper was served on three tables, which
the (ottire length of the room, and eau-.
sisrui of every elegance and variety it•wag
We to procure ; down the middle of each table
were painted glass pillars, nn the top of which
stool' a female figure, holding smell banners of
wi~i> satin, On which the Prince's Plume was etc-
gaw' y embroidered in gold bullion and spangles ;
on tie different tablee were gilt coreiteopies, from
crhieh issued in great prefusioe, pine apples,
grapes, peaches, and nectarines ; the wines were
various, and of the first growths. About three
o'clock dancing recommenriel, and was kept up
with great spirit and viveci,y ; and it was not un-
til neat '.even in the morning, tha; this happy and
delight:el company reluctantly -separated. No.
thing coeld exceed the easy, polite, And fiend-
ly att2ntion of Lady Perrier, during Cie en-
tire of the entertainment, to her numerous
frintk and visitants, and long will the nobility
aiet_ gentry of the county and city of Cork have'
to recollect tire splendid laeTitality wiih which
Sit D. Pcr:',...r upheld tie dignity and consequence
of the first Municipal Officer of this city.
• Amongst the company present were the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Thomond Earl and
Countess of 'Minket, Viectena and Viscountess
Bann y, Lord and Lady Forbes, Lord and Lady
Csrbery, Lord and Lady Doncraile, Lord and
Lady Berearde Sir Nicholas and Lady Colthurst,
Vice-Admiral and- Mrs. Sawyer, Major-General

Thus creditably, to himself, and to the city he
presides over, has our respected Chief Magistrate
closed the gaieties and festivities which the cele-
bration of the Centenary of the House of Bruns-
wick gale rise to in: this city. It scents to be a
neculiee coincidence, that the glorious first of
Augu,t, that auspicious day which one hundred
'years since gave the Tarone to the present Family,
should also be, with the variation only of the
style; the birth-day of our illustrious Prince, as
deservedly the object of the,affections Of -the peo-
ple of these
.eountries, to whose-•wise and ener-
getic GOVernment; Europe is indebted for freee
dna), anti these happy countries to a degree of
lirottd pre-eminence unknown at any former pc-
tiod of our history. .

,Vo great was the curiosity of the public to wit:
:ness the auful scene of the Execution Of the is
tinfoil-a:ue persons which we mentioned yester-
day, that by half-past six o'clock the Old. Bailey,,
Giltspur-street, and the houses adjacent, Were
crowded to great-excess; Much danger was anti-
cipated front the assemblage of so great a con-
course of people, every class-and age tieing present.
About bad-past seven Mr. Shei•itf MAGNAY, and
the officers of justii-e,. proceeded from the Ses-
sions House tit -see the execution of the sentence

hery, was the first introduced for the purpose 'of

irons were -knocking off, the person appointed to
tilts office found it. necessary to cut some part of
.the cnrdagc, which confined the irons. Maroney,
seeil4. this, stooped, and with an Herculean ef-
fort- tore it asunder., This being. the only Catho-
lic, the Rev. Mr DRVEREUX attended him in con-
stant prayer, in which he joiued most fervently.
Sturgess, Field, and Alitchell, conducted them-
selves with great propriety, the latter of whom
prayed from the time of his .irons being knocked
The most painful part is to record the be 7
havio,,r of the unfortunate Ashton, who had been
in a temporary state of insanity since the receipt
of the awful warrant for his execution.—While in
the press-yard, he distorted his countenance hor-
ribly. He was the fifth who mounted the scaf-
fold, and .he arpeared anxious to do so ; he ran
up •the steps front the Dehtois' Door with great'
rapidity, will having gained the- *ututnit of the
platform, began to kick and dance, and often
exclaimed, " Lord Wellington !" The
Kiev. 11r. CoTTON, who officiated for the first
time as Ordinary, enjoined him to prayer;,while
the executioner was performidg . his office, to
which, however,- he paid hut ,little attention, and.
continued to clasp his hands as far as he was per-
mitted by the extent of the cord Mitchell was
next to him, and often invited him to prayer. All
„„ itccrulcl be done was ineffectual, a sulit Was deemed
necessary to have-two men to hold him dui ing the'
a‘vitil ceremony. When they released him for the
purpose of theLord's-Prayer being said, he turned
round anti round, and be2,.in to dunce, and often
vocifi rated—" Look at me, I ant Lord Welling-
ton !" The dreadful sate in which he appeared
induced Mr. Smmt, the Untkr Sheriff, to-request
the Ordinary to dispense with the formality of the
ceremony, and to give the usual signal for their
being launched into eternity. At twenty minutes
past eight o clock, the signal was given. and the
platform tell. Scarcely, however, hail the suf-
ferers dropped before, to the awe and astonish-
ment of every beholder, Ashton rebounded from
the rope, and was instantly seen dancing near the
Ordinary, anti crying out very loudly, and appa-
rently nolitit, What do you think- of me—am
I not Lord Wellington. now -?" He then danced,
clapped dtiS hands, and huzzaed. At length the.
executioner was compelled to get upon the scaf-'
fOld; and to push him forcibly, from the place on

great agony, and died in,strong convulsions.- At •
Mine o'clock the bodies were cut down., and deli-
vered to elteir relatives for•intermeut.

were executed at half-past twelve o'clock, at

fur briogisig up the alleged lunatic. into Court,
.for the examination of the Lorin CHAAELLOR,

affidavits were filed of a man's sanity, who was
under confinement, it was proper to order him up
as early as possible, and on that ground he could
not enlarge the time further than till Wednesday
