• THB EVENTS OP TUESDAY.

doubts were entertained whether the KING would pay
a visit to this country during the present year or not,
and ten thousand different opinions were afloat on the
subject. Many people who had come to town under
the expectation of seeing his MAJESTY had left it—
for the roads to the country, especially on Saturday,
were crowded with carriages returning. A carriage
and horses had been waiting for some days to bring
his MAJESTY to town on his landing.
Intimation of the KING'S arrival was made yester-
day afternoon, about five o'clock, by a flag displayed
from Nelson's Monument, in Sackville-street, the
ringing of bells, and a discharge of artillery.

His /MAJESTY landed at Howth about four o'clock,
from the Lightning :.team-packet, accompanied by the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY and others. He pro-
ceeded at a moderate pace to the Lodge in the Phenix
Park. A military guard attempted to keep off the
crowd which attended on his arrival, but he beckoned
to the guard so as to shew their services might be
dispensed with, and he was sufficiently guarded by
the loyalty of his subjects. The KING condescended
to address those around, thanking them for their at-
tentions in accompanying him from the shore ; and
entered the Lodge amid loud shouts of devotional
resiwct and gladness.
Oa account of existing circumstances, the grand
public entre,e expected, was dispensed with. His
lIAJzsz•Y arrived in private, and will remain so for
a short time.

Notices are stuck up from the LORD MAYOR to
suspend the general illumination proposed, and which
was to have taken place to-night, till further notice:
Preparations for this purpose had been made on a
great scale, especially at the Post Office and Bank,
formerly the Houses of Parliament.
The influx of persons here is immense : one would
suppose himself in London, at the Coronation, from
the bustle. Many Peers, who had not visited Dublin
for twenty years, have now made their appearance ;
and the windows of houses formerly shut up, and door-
plates covered with dirt for that period, are all brushed
op. Light sky blue gowns and ribbons are quite the
rage—blue riLbons are attached to the medals of the
KING, which are hung round the neck. Reception
blue coats, as they arc called, and yellow buttons,
are universally worn.

An immense temporary wooden building at the
back of the Nlansion..House, which forms the largest
roam in Dublin, is fitted up for an entertainment to
be given to the KING. A Grand Stand is also erect-
ing at the Curragh, where there are to be Races,
which has coat £3,000.

Prince EsTERHAZY is seen moving along here in
a barouche and four, with red liveries, but blue live-
ries are the most common in all quarters.
Notwithstanding the death of the QUEEN, which
was known in town on Friday morning, the Theatre
was opened on Saturday, and no orders have been
issued for shutting it to-night, nor has any public
mourning been ordered. The Newspapers are, how-
ever, edged witkblack.
Tho dreadful wreck of the vessel which sailed
hone Liverpool for this place, and the fate of the un-
fortunate passengers, has excited much commisera-
tion. It is conjectured that some Irish Gentlemen
connected with Parliament were on board.
There has been a Review to-day in the Phenix Park.
In front of the Mansion House, in ancient Irish, are

and !"—Every Irishman is smiling, and

formed that his MAJESTY will not long deny his
faithful people the opportunity of publicly testifying
their ardent attachment to his sacred person.
It is understood that his MAJESTY will hold apri-
vate Levee at the VICEROY'S Lodge on Wednesday
next, for the purpose only of receiving the Public
Authorities, who will be expected to attend in mourn-
ing ; and that his MAJESTY will hold a public Levee
at the Castle on Monday.
His MAJESTY'S Marine Band reached town this
forenoon from Dunleary, and having remained some
time in the lower Castle yard, were conveyed in car-
riages to his MAJESTY'S Palace in the Park.
It is rumoured to-day that his MAJESTY will make
his public entry from Dunleary this day week.


' must have been nearly worn out by the length of
their drive and the quickness of their motion for a
part of the road yesterday, or from a regard to the
comfort of the mournful attendants on her late MA-
JESTY'S remains, we see as yet no appearance of its
immediate departure.

There is at this moment a large crowd of persons
in the church-yard, waiting for admission into the
Church, to obtain a hasty view of the coffin.—
Many of them appear to be substantial farmers, who
have brought their wives and daughters from some
distance, to pay this last tribute of regard to departed
Majesty. Most, if not all, of them are in monvsting,
and seem deeply impressed with the solemnity which
they ate about to witness. They ate admitted into
the Church by turns, it having been found expedient
not to allow more than a certain number to enter at
any one time. The bells of the Parish Church have
been ringing a muffled peal all the morning. •

QUA ItTER..TAST NINE O'CLOCK.
The Dragoons are now assembling, and the Proces-
sion is expected to start in about a quarter of an hour.

ELEVEN o'CLocic,
Two troops of Light Dragoons of the Regiment
called the Queen's Own, are now drawn up before
the Church. The hearse is brought down, and the
mourning coaches forming the Procession are ar-
ranged as yesterday. The Undertakers are employed
,in bringing out her MAJESTY'S remains from the
Church; the bell is tolling, and the funeral is imme-
diately to proceed. All the attendant mourners have
been ready from nine o'clock, the hour originally fixed
upon for their departure. The respite of two hours,
which they have enjoyed, has been entirely owing to
the good-will and pleasure of the Government direc-
tors of the ceremony. Those who feel the deepest
interest that everything should be done with all due
order, and have the most solemn part of the duty to
perform, have no power to alter by one minute, or in
the most trifling detail, any of the arrangements.—
They cannot check the indecent rapidity of the fune-
ral race (as it may be called), nor can they even se-
cure a single personal comfort to themselves. The
delay that has taken place here must be compensated
by additional speed in the remainder of the journey,
for we are told that Harwich must be reached to-night.

—The manner in which the whole of the funeral ar-
rangements have been conducted has been so indeco-
rous and contrary to every feeling of becoming re-
spect, that one of her NIAJEsTy's Executors (Mr.
WILDE) has declined to act, and the other (Doctor
LUSIIINGTON), while he acts, protests against the
orders to which he is subjected. Two expresses were
sent off by these Gentlemen to Lord LIVERPOOL, in
the course of yesterday and this morning, strongly
objecting to the measures which Government is
pursuing.

lIAL►-rAST ELEVZN.

The Procession has just set out. Almost the whole
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood have been
assembled to see it, and the feelings of regret and
sorrow have been loudly and feelingly expressed.

KELVEDON, THRSZ O'CLOCK, P. M.

The Procession has just arrived at Kelvedon. When
it left Chelmsford, the greater part of the population
went along with it, the gentry all dressed in decent
mourning, and the labouring classes either in black
or in their best holvday clothes. On their return,
deep sorrow was visibly imprinted on the face of them
all. The same symptoms of grief were also discerni-
ble in the inhabitants of Springfield, the first village
on the road to Kelvedon : in that neighbourhood the
hedges appeared to be teeming with human beings ;
and it was evident from the spectacle then exhibited,
that it was not merely the villagers on the exact line
of road that had come to mourn at her MAJESTY'S
untimely fate, but also those from a great distance.
The Procession, contrary to the practice of yester-
day, was closed by a small squadron of the 4th Light
Dragoons. It is not known whether there has been
any particular reason for selecting this distinguished
regiment for the duty on which it is now placed, or
whether it is only one of those many strange coinci-
dences which have marked the mortal caner of her
late MAJESTY from its commencement to the close,
but this regiment is called the queen's Own, and is
said to be very proud of its appellation. The closing
of the procession of mourning coaches in this manner
certainly adds to its picturesque appearance, and as
it is also opened by an advanced guard of the same
regiment, makes it more unique and uniform. At
the pleasant little villages of lioreholme and Hat-
field, there was the same prevalence of good, kind, ge-
nuine English feeling, as witnessed all along the road.
The populous township of Witham, however, in
its exhibition of mournful attachment to her is-
JESTS', rivalled, if it did not surpass any township
there has yet been occasion to mention. From the
highest to the lowest persons in the town, all were in
mourning, and it could not have been more general
had each family in the place lost a near and dear
relation. The only exception was in the house of a
Quaker, whose religious tenets prevent him from ex-
hibiting any outward appearance of his inward grief.
The housetops were crowded with numbers of well-
dressed females, most of them in tears: the male in-
habitants appeared to be all engaged in preceding
the Procession on horseback to Colchester. Indeed,
the cavalcade of horsemen at this place is immense,
and as it is mostly formed of substantial farmers,
assumes a very imposing appearance. The horses
are baiting to proceed on immediately to Colchester,
where it is expected to arrive about five o'clock. The
pace at the beginning of the day was as rapid as yes-
terday, but seems latterly to have somewhat abated
in its speed.

Dr. LUSHINGTON wrote to Lord LIVERPOOL from
Chelmsford, at five o'clock on Wednesday morning,
complaining very much of Mr. THOMAS, in proceed-
ing on from Romford at half-past ten the preceding
night. He informed the Noble Lord he had remon-
strated with Mr. THOMAS on the subject, and con-
eluded by saying, that he expected from his MA-
JESTY'S Government some person duly authorised to
take charge of the Royal corpse at Harwich. Lord
LIVERPOOL wrote an answer, addressed jointly to
Dr. LUSHINGTON and Mr. WILDE. "As you both
declined," says he, " it hash= the duty of Govern-
ment to give the necessary orders to the Officers of
the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S department to cone..ct
,he Royal remains to their ultimate destination at
Brunswick."

with the force of the observation and desisted. He
then directed the Commanding-Officer of the Foot
Guards to draw off his men, as it was in vain to per-
sist any farther.

The Proceszion now turned down Tottenham-
court-road.

Had Sir ROBERT BAKER persevered in the first in-
tention of forcing a passage by the military, the con-
sequences must have been dreadful ; nor was there
the least likelihood that the passage could after all
have been effected. The obstructions which had been
thrown up at this part were of the most formidable
description, and the people, even when the danger of
an attack was most imminent, presented a bold front.
Instead of spewing the least disposition to flinch from
the expected contest, they kept fortifying their posi-
tion in every possible manner—rolling butts, barrels,
wheelbarrows, &c..under the carriages and waggons,
to render their removal the more impracticable, and
using various other ingenious arts scarcely known even
in the most approved systems of defensive warfare.—
To secure themselves against any attack from the
rear, they got hold of the key of the Orange-street
turnpike-gate, on the New-road, and, after locking
it, left the key at au adjoining public-house, to be
restored to the keeper when the affair was over.—
The whole space between this gate and the head of
Tottenham Court presented an immense impervious
mass of men, horses, carriages, waggons, &c. and
there being only two narrow outlets into the adjoin-
ing back streets, had the military began to act the
carnage would have been fearful. They could only
indeed have acted by volleys of musketry, every
shot of which would have taken effect. Who can
blame Sir ROBERT BAKER, that, even in defiance of
the commands of Government, he refrained from so
barbarous an experiment, and chose rather, on his
own responsibility, to give way to the popular voice ?
