[Owing to the loss, by some accident, of two
folios from the packet of our correspondent, we
are unable to give his account of the close of the
meeting. We supply it, however, as follows,
from one of the Dublin papers
On looking around us, we could scarcely egti-
mate the respective numbers of our Catholic and
Protestant fellow-citizens who were present ; the
Catholics, however, as far as we could judge, pre-
dominated.

We never witnessed more cordial unanimity,
more effectual and unrestrained warmth ; to those
who feared lest the harmony of the Meeting
should be disturbed by any intrusion of a bad
spirit, to have been there was sufficient to show
the impossibility of such a thing happening.
It was no small addition to the delightful
effect of the scene, to hear the multitudes who
had assembled outside the house, as if they bad
caught the spirit which reigned within, cheering
and huzzaing, as every patriotic toast was an-
nounced from the Chair, or when any favourite
tune was played by the band stationed in the
gallery._ •

Mr. Connolly, a Roman Catholic Gentleman,
and one of the Stewards, sent down not less than
ten barrels of porter to regale the multitude.
At one o'clock, the Lord Mayor and Lord
Fingal retired, when the whole assembly broke
up, bestowing mutual congratulations, and shaking
hands as they parted.
August 3.—A Meeting of the Churchwardens
and Householders was held yesterday at the
Royal Exchange, for the purpose of preparing
an Address to his Majesty, and of arrangin4 the
order of the procession. After some discussion,
the Meeting adjourned to four o'clock this day,
when the Report of the Committee is to be re-
ceived, and the arrangements decided. It is not
yet settled whether the Lord Lieutenant and
Lord Mayor will resign their respective functions
into the hands of his Majesty at the water's
edge, or at the bounds of the 'Lcity. The Law
Officers of the Crown are to confer together to-
day upon the subject, and it is understood that
the national and municipal authority will be sur-
rendered to his Majesty immediately upon his
landing, if it should be found that the measure
cannot be drawn into an inconvenient precedent.

It is expected that his Majesty will visit the
Linen Hail, that being the heart of the staple
trade of Ireland, and the Directors are fitting it
up in a suitable stile for the occasion. No
building can be better adapted to the pur-
pose fur which it is intended. Mr. King, the
brother of the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Brocas,
a respectable Gentleman in the linen trade,
had the politeness to show me through every part
of it, and took pleasure in pointing out the ware-
room of Mr. Coulson, from which all the damask
used at the Coronation was furnished. The pro-
ject of drawing his Majesty's carriage with
silken ropes from Dunleary to the Castle must,
it is said, be abandoned, as impracticable, in
consequence of the distance. The Lord Lieu-
tenant, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield
and other official characters, went down' yes-
terday to Dunleary, to make the necessary ar-
rangements for his Majesty's landing. The
Corporation are getting new robes of a very
costly description. Those of the Aldermen are
to be of the finest scarlet cloth, trimmed with
ermine, and the Commoners are to weitr blue
