Intelligence was received yesterday at Lloyd's, of
the safe arrival at Coranna, on the 17th ult. of the
Steam ship the George the Fourth. The voyage from
Falmouth was performed in 62 hours, and the vessel
sailed on the 21st for Lisbon, after remaining four
days in the harbour of Corunna. Much interest has
attached to this vessel, now on her first voyage, in
pursuance of An arrangement with the Spanish and
Portuguese Governments for the conveyance of letters
to England, on account of the supposed danger of
passing the Bay of Biscarin a vessel navigated by
steam. This interest was much heightened by the
very general persuasion which existed during the
whole of yesterday and Wednesday, that she had
actually perished on the voyage. The letters brought
by the last vessel the Three Sisters) from Corunna,
Were dated the 25th Ult. 11 days after the departure

have failed to mention an arrival in which they were
so particularly interested. The vessel was, therefore,.
given up for lost by those who investigated the-intel-

terday evening, at Richmond, :teas one of the most su-
perbthingsofthe kind that has taken place this rummers
—From three till fit* o'clock there was a constant
succession of visitants, by land. They entered at tbe
garden gate, and proceeded along the noble corridor
to the foot of the grand staircase; this avenue, which
forms a semicircle, wits decorated with branches of
laurel and every kind of flowering shrub, fc:rtning
complete alcove. Ascending the staircase, they took
possession of the line of balconies which occupy the
three bow fronts of the mansion, next the liver
Thames. Here the Ladies were seated untilthe ap-
proach of the Diana steam-boar) which was to bring
the greater proportion of thetottpany.
About a quarter before seven the sound of military
music was heard in the distance, and soon after the
Royal Standard was visible.
The steam-yacht then approached in the most ma-
jestic style, and soon after landed its interesting cargo,
consisting of the Duke' of Yostx, Prince' LeeeoLn,
most of the Cabinet Ministers, and nearly all the
leading Beauty and Fashion of Great Britain. The
KING'S bargemen, dressed in scarlet, formed a tem-
porary bridge. The Duke of YORK took by the hand
a Lady, and conducted her through a lane formed by
the spectators, tolls.° esplanade, and thence into the
house, followed by the rest of the passengers, two
and two, each Gentleman. escorting a Lady. The
Noble Host brought up the rear. The cargo mus-
tered 240 persons.
The whole party then assembled on the lawn, and
promenaded till the banquet was ready. They then
proceeded up Ake staircase, to the superb saloon, 70
feet in length; which has a covered roof enriched
with sunken medallions in goldopon a white ground.
In that and three other apartments the tables were
laid, adorned with temples and other devices, usually
introduced on those occasions. At the head of the
principal table sat their }loyal Highnesses the Dukes
of YORK and Custnair.ann, the Prince of SALMS,
Prince Goarcnakorr, and three other Foreign
Princes, the Prince ESTRRHAZT, and all the other
Foreign Ministers.—The Band of the 2d Regiment
of Life Guards then struck up in the hall beneath,
4. Oh, the Roast Beef of Old England."
The banquet commenced at half-past seven, and
concluded about nine. The promenade was soon
after resumed for a short time, and then the cele-
brated French band, of fourteen performers, struck up
a quadrille in the saloon (the tables having been
cleared with the quickness of lightning).
The exterior scene was also fascinating beyond de-
scription. The water was covered with cutters, plea-
sure-boats, and wherries. Mooted directly opposite
was a beautiful yacht, the rigging of which was de-
corated with the colours of all nations, and the idea
meant to be conveyed was a compliment to our Mi-
nisters for having preserved peace with all the world.
The Band belonging to the Royal Artillery, from
Woolwich, played on board the steam-boat, when on
its passage, and afterwards in a tent on the lawn.
Most of the company remained until midnight,'
when they returned to town to dinner.
The steam-boat; on returning, was most brilliantly
illuminated. At the head was a brilliant star, of large
dimensions, with an anchor on each side, near the
head ; the sides were composed of two tows of lamps
with eight ovals on each side; between the centre of
the sides there were two halfstars of six feet in length,
the oval of the stars being of crimson; and at the
stern was a most beautiful crown and star, of varie-
gated lamps, giving an imposing effect.

Duet.—Early yesterday morning, an affair of ho-
nour took place at Wormwood Scrubbs, between a
Mr. HATCHOPT and a Mr. SMITH; the latter was
slightly wounded in the right arm. The dispute ori-
ginated from a reflection Mr. SMITH had made on
the character of the Lady of Mr. HATCHOTT.
Tunas.—Yesterday a Meeting of the inhabitants
of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, assembled at
the Inquest-room, to receive the Report of the Gene-
ral Tithe Committee, respecting the Bill which has
lately passed through Parliament, the object of which
is to extinguish all Tithes and Easter-offerings in that
' parish, and; in lieu thereof, to provide a fixed stipend for-
the Rector. The Report commenced by stating, that
the Bill for giving a fixed stipend to the Rector re-
ceived the Royal Assent on Friday the 27th of June,
by which a termination was put to the struggle
which had been going on for some years bittween the
Parishioners and the Rector, arising out of the claim
of the latter to receive 2s. 9d. is the pound on the
rack-rental of the parish, on account cif Tithes, which
claim he founded on an 'Act of the Ali of Henry VIII.
The Rector, the Report went on to state, had finally
consented to receive for himself and his successors a
fixed stipend, in lieu of all allowances on account of-
tithes,
&c. and it was gratifying to know that the
amount of the stipend was precisely that which the
parish tithe committee had in thafirst instance offered
to the Rev. Gentleman, namely, TOOL per annum ;
and that for the last fciur years, during which the pa-
rishioners had paid no tithes at all,. the Rector was
only to receive compensation to the amount of 9501.
per annum. Tice Report was confirmed, and ordered
to be printed and circulated. •
