THE NEW LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN.
Yesterday was the day appointed for the swearing into office
of the new Lord Mayor, Alderman Smyth ; the city was in an
unusual bustle on the occasion. In the evening the Lord
Mayor entertained his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and
suite, the Commander of the Forces, the principal Nobility and
Gentry of the City, and the Members of the Corporation, in
the round room, which had been built and fitted up on the oc-
casion of his Majesty's visit to this country.
Among the company we noticed the Marquess of Down.
shire, the Earl of Meath, the Earl of Rathdown, the Bishop of
Kildare, the Honourable Mr. Lindsay, Lord Combennere.
the Members for the City anti County, the French Consul,
the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Goal-
burn, the Dean of St. Patrick's. There were present a nutn-
ber of our most respectable Catholic fellow-citizens, amongn
whom we noticed Air. V. O'Connor, Mr. H. O'Connor, Mr.
N. Mahon, &c. &c.

A few Minutes before eight o'clock, the company having pre-
viously taken their seats, the Lord-Lieutenant, followed by his
suite, entered the room, the band playing " God save the King."
His Excellency sat at the right hand of the Lord Mayor.
The Lonp-LiEuTENsw.r, on his health being drank, rose
amidst loud applause, and returned thanks. He was pleased
to say: that he felt peculiarly gratified at the manner of his
reception. When he looked around him at the splendour of
the scene which was so well calculated to recal recollections so
indelibly impressed on the hearts of Irishmen—on the hearts
of all loyal subjects—when he considered the favour of his re-
ception, and witnessed the feeling of pleasure which was re-
flected upon every countenance, it was his sincere hope that
future Lord Lieutenants of Ireland should meet with such a
reception as he had met with that day from such a company.
The honour and the interests of the city would be best promoted
by unanimity and good humour.—(Loud applause.)
After several healths and toasts,
His Majesty's Attorney-General for Ireland was proposed.
The announcement of this toast was received with much ap-
plause; mixed, however, with hisses.
The toast having been thank, Mr. PLuxtETT shortly re-
turned thanks. He said, that during a public life of fifty years
he could never reproach himself with any act which was not
for the good of his country and his fellow-citizens. There were
many topics which pressed upon him at the moment, but as a
diversity of opinion might be excited by the mention of them
he would not at present dwell upon subjects likely to produce
unpleasant recollections—(Applause and hisses.)
A number of other toasts were drank before the company se-
parated. About four hundred sat down to dinner. The coup
d'ctil was splendid; and all the arrangements were so perfect,
that not one individual was unaccoramodated.—(Dublin Morn.
trait Post, Oct. 1.)

EISTEDDFOD.
This grand Cambrian Literary and Musical Meeting com-
menced on Wednesday last, at Carmarthen, with all the na-
tional enthusiasm which characterize., the native., of the Princi-
pality. Public business began with Divine Service, and such
was the anxiety to be present, that the church was completely
filled before the commencement. Prayers were read by the
Rev. Mr. Byers, anti various pieces of sacred music performed
in thn usual intervals by Miss George, 51!!sars. Rolle, Man-
ners, Garbett, and Miss Owens--Mr. Perater presiding at
the organ. An excellent and appropriate sermon, was then
delivered -by the Rev.
.J. Davies,- Vicar of Llandingat, from
Isaiah xxxiii, 8, in the course of which the Rev. Gentleman,
alluding to the more particular object of his diecourse, stated
the design, of the new College at Lampeter? and advocated a
collection in aid of it, remarking that the ancient British tongue
had been corrupted for want of due attention, but that several
Eisteddfods Grad proved it yet exists in considerable purity, and
that it was not too much to look to St. Davaid's College to reduce
it to a standard. After the sermon, the Halleluiah Chorus
was performed on organ in fine style, by Mr. Foster, and
the collection amounted to upwards of fifty-five pounds. The
concert, in the evening, was very numerously attended. On
Thursday the company assembled at the Hall, at ten o'clock,
when Lord Dynevor, the President, having opened the pro-
ceedings, the Rev. IV Evans, of Maeemynach, Fellow of .leeue
College, Oxford, spoke at some length on the object of the
meeting; after which the Report of the proceedings was read by
the Secretary, the Rev. Mr. Griffith, and the prizes were distri-
buted :—To Mr. J. Howells, Bard, late of I dandovery,for Welch
Stanzas on the occasion, a medal. To J. Parry, Fisq•Editur
of the Transactions of the Cambrian Institution, for the same, a
medal. To the Rev. Dan. Evans above-mentioned, for the beet
Awdi (Welch Ode), the chair medal. To the same Gentleman,
for the best Awdl, on the recent successes of the Greeks over the
Turks, a2d medal. To E. Jones, of Corwen, the best performer's
Medal ; anti finally, to the Rev. D. Evans, a third modal,

descendants, of the haute of Treciegar.--The subject for

the Bards, during the Eisteddfod, were then given ut, viz.—
'" Griffith and Nicholas, who presided at the great Eistedd-
fod in 1451, and his descendants, of Dynevor Castle. particn-
lerly the President of the Cambrian Society:" and " The Itiitht
Rev, the Bishop, of St. David's, its original projector."—The
second day concluded, like the previous one, with a concert,
which was numerously and most respectably atteraled.
