ied by the Royal Family, left St James's Palace, and
proceeded to the barracks in the Regent's Park, where his Majesty

Life Guards, with their band in state uniforms, were stationed in
the large court-yard.
Sir Richard Birnie, with Mews. Townsend and Sayer, assisted
by a large body of the ptew police, preserved the most excellent
order, and although the levee was very numerously attended, not the
slightest confusion occurred in endeavouring to gain access to the
Palace.

Prince George, and Prince Leopold, and afterwards Prince Frederick

supposed, Lieut.-Col. Chatterton, will stand for Coventry.

city. Col. Webb denies that he has formed a coalition
with Mr. Cooper.
GIUMSBY.—Mr. Charles Wood, son of Sir F. Linley
Wood, Bart. Capt. Harris, of the royal navy, and Col.
Mayne, are candidates.
LITCHFIELD.—Sir E. D. Scott, Sir George Chet•
wynd, and Mr. Lister, have been solicited to oppose the
Anson interest, and have refused.

STAFFORD (Borough).—Mr. Benson will not starel
Mr. Campbell, the barrister, Mr. Foster Cunliffe, Mr.

spoken of as ikely to be candidates.
WinctiEsTßA—The present members, Sir Edward
Hyde East and Mr. Paulet Mildmay will stand.
YORKSHIRE.—There are five candidates for the
county
The weather during the past week has been mere fi.
Towable to the agriculturist than for some time previoni,
and enabled a great portion of those whose grass re-
mained uncut to save their hay in good condition. The
corn never promised fairer, and according to the opinion
of the experienced, should sunshine continue, a more
abundant harvest was never witnessed in the county of
Devon —Western Luminary.
COUNTY OF TIPPERARY.—It is said this county i.
to be contested. The following curious notice, dated
" Gaultymore, July 12," appears in the Clonniel Ad-
vertiser:—" Ten Pound Freeholders ! be ready !! !
There is a man a coming who will split the Aristocratic
Junction to atoms—meet me in Clonmel."

COUNTY AND CITY OF LIMERICK.-4 warm con-
test is expected. We hear that Mr. Barrington is con-
ducting agent for Colonel Fitzgibbon ; Mr. levers for
Mr. Massy Dawson ; and Mr. O'Callaghan for Colonel
O'Grady. Colonel O'Grady is daily expected here to
follow up his canvass. Mr. Spring Rice left London on
Friday for this city. He has already canvassed the con-
stituency by letter. Mr. Samuel Dickson is busily en-
gaged in the city and liberties canvassing. The sinews
of war will be in full play ; the treasury is abundant,
and the candidates sanguine of success.—Limerick
Chronicle.

MR. O'CONNELL.—WO have just received a commu-
nication from Waterford, stating that Philip Barron, D.
Ronayne, and Carroll, Esqrs. met Mr. O'Connell at
Kilkenny, on his way to Ennis, on Saturday, and so
clearly demonstrated to that gentleman the certainty of
his success for Waterford—urged so strongly the anxiety
of tie people to have him as a candidate—that he yielded
to their solicitations, and his address will appear in the
Waterford Chronicle to-morrow. We have no reason
to doubt this intelligence ; indeed it comes from a source
which may be regarded as authentic, and we deem it also
sanctioned by probability as the course naturally to be
adopted by Mr. O'Connell under the circumstances. Mr.
O'Connell would not, on any account, stand for Clare
while Major WlSTamara held the written pledge.—Pilot
of Tuesday.
COUNTY OF KILDARE.—Mr. Latouche has retired
from the representation of the County Kildare. It will
be the duty of the honest and independent freeholders of
the county to look out for a fitting successor to their
late upright and independent representative. There is
one gentleman in the county who is, we think, well
qualified to advocate the cause, and represent the wants,
of the people in Parliament. Robert Cassidy, Esq. of
Monasterevan, has, before now, distinguished himself by
an accurate knowledge of the state of Ireland ; and be
will, we hope, be induced to start upon the popular in-
terest in Kildare. It is rumoured that Lord William
Fitzgerald has also an intention of retiring from the
representation of the county.
GaNT LE it A,N PIPER.—The wandering minstrel.
known by the name of the " Gentleman Piper," who is
believed to be serving a certain noviciate, and playing
for a wager, visited Dumfries a few days ago. Whether
travelling incog. or in his real character, the stranger
appears to have youth on his side, is well-dressed,
well-favoured, handles his instrument with tolerable
skill, and attracts crowds of listeners wherever he
goes. On one of the days of his sojourn here--
the anniversary of Boyne Water—be struck up a
cheerful lilt on the White Sands, and was much ap-
plauded by all and sundry. While thus occupied, an
Orangeman who was near, offered the piper a retaining
fee, and desired him to play a certain party tune. This
proposition was loudly denounced by a sturdy Irish
Catholic, who clenched his fist, gnashed his teeth, am:
swore he would beat the minstrel black and blue, if he
ettempted to obey an injunction so scandalous : not
contented with this, he followed the piper, repeated
threats, kept the crowd on the qui vine, and, in one
word, annoyed him so much, that be at last told the
fellow plainly, " that it would require a much better
man to break his bead or his pipes either. This first led
to an angry park, and to cut the matter short, the min-
strel laid aside his instrument, called for a ring, and gave
assailant a splendid spice of his quality. According to
report, he fought late a first- rate pugilist, floored his man
more than once, and in the course of a very few minutes,
placed him so completely hors de contlat, that in place
of the ring he became a fit subject for the Dumfries
Infirmary. Laughter at last gave way to pity ; such as
knew Pat washed his face and helped him to bed, while
the piper quietly resumed his music, and amidst the
plaudits of she crowd, went on his way rejoicing.
The ELECTIONO.—III consequence of the resignation
of Sir William Hope, whose duties as Treasurer to Green-
wich Hospital prevent his regular attendance on Parlia-
ment, his son Mr. Hope Johnstone of Annandale, has ad-
dressed the ireeholdere of this county, and will be re-
turned, womanise, without opposition. In many respects
he has a good right to befacileprincepe. Independently
of the weight of family influence, which not unfrequently
rules the toast in the demos of higher considerations, be
=lin an eminent degree the good will and confi-
.7 all classes. Popularity is no bad test of character,
and we believe he would have very little to fear if the
system of voting in the counties of Scotland were open,
in place of close, to-morrow. In the Stewartry the result
will be precisely the same.
