DUBLIN, Aran 24.

Yesterday being that filed on for the celebration of
his Majesty's birth-day, the Royal standard was heisted
on Bedford tower ; the Castle Guard was relieved early,
and a number of the citizens were on the gni vive, in
expectation of a Royal parade in the ['collie Park,
where it was currently reported, and sagely asserted by
many, that the Duchess of Northumberland mould re-
view the troops in propria persona ; bur th le was
no review, as the different Regiments merely 6,ed a
fen de joie across the river, and the Park guns a Royal
salute. The remainder of the day was not mar ked by
any peculiar demonstrations of joy or sorrow, and,
strange to tell. the bells of St. Wetburgh's. which were
wont to ring out a mercy peal on this occasion, ware
as mute as the silent tomb.

The Bank and Public Offices strictly observed the
holiday, and several respectable traders kept their shops
shut. At four o'clock the mail coaches left the General
Post-office. They proceeded down Westmorland-strest,
Nassau-street, Leinster-street, and the Nurth side of
Marion-square. round it to Stephen's-green, Kild
street, Moles worth-street, Dawson-street, Grafton-street,
College-green, Dame-street, Lower Castle-yard, to the
Castle, for his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's inspec-
tion, from thence to Parliament-street, Capetstieet,
Bolton-street, Dominick-street, Britain-street, Granby-
else. Gardiner's-row, Mountjoy-square, Cavendish-row,
and to the Post-c.ffice.

BALL AT THB CASTLB.—The Viceregal Ball. in cele•
bration of his Majesty's birth-day. was very numerously
attended last evening. The company began to Minim(
at ten, and the festivities of the evening were prolonged
to a late hour.

took off their hats and gave three cheers for the King. in
which they *rye immediately inilied by the people;
and when the band struck up the National Anthem, the
spectators immediately took off their h its, and remained
uncovered while it was playing ; and, when it bad cou•
eluded, they again cheered for his Majesty. In the
evening the town was brilliantly illuminated:
The Assisi town of Clare (Ennis) was also brilliantly
illuminated on the King'sßinh-clay ; butorith the excep-
tion of these two towns, I believe that the day passed
over as dull ind unnoticed as it Isis in Dublin, where
the apathy.of the Catholics, and the abstinence from the
usual demonstrations of loyalty on the part of those
cunnected with the Established Church, was not a little
curious.

Sunday laat them 'was a *viols, riot between the
town's people of Tealee and some drunken whitely,
stationed in that town. Some severe, but not dangerbus
wounds. were inflicted by the bayonet. and the people
are calling fir exemplary penishMent upon the soldiery.
