U T KING ,'S COURT.
The University of Oxford having voted a Loyal
Address to his MAJESTY, the Ktwo was graciously
pleased to appoint yesterday, and held a Court prin-
cipally for the purpose of receiving it.
A Guard of Honour, commitnded by Sir HIIIIRY
HARDING, preceded by. the Baii&of the Ist Regiment
6f Foot Guards, in their state deforms, marched into
the King's Palace-yard, in Pall-Mall, at two o'clock.
A detachment of the Life Guards marched into Wa-

terloo-place, at the same time, preceded by their nu-
merous band, composed principally of trumpets and
trombones, with kettle drums, dressed in their rich
uniforms, and mounted on grey horses. They played
marches, overtures, and some charming pieces, alter-
nately with the band attached to the Guard of Honour.
Sir ROBERT BARER, the Chief Magistrate of the
Police, with Townsend and Sayer, the officers, were

in attendance in the Palace-yard. A numerous as-
semblage of Police officers were stationed in Pall-
Mall, and its vicinity. Two of the Royal Porters ap-
peared at each gate in their state liveries, with their
embroidered sashes, holding their long staves in their
hands. The Under Porters, the Gentlemen Porters,
and the Marshalmen, were at their stations in the
Palace-yard. The Gentlemen Porters in the grand
hall, and the Pages appeared in their uniforms of
purple and gold lace. The grand ball was lined
with the Yeomen of the Guard. The Grooms of the

Greit Chamber' were in attendance ih the Octa-

DUBLIN, DRCENBEB

A most wanton and brutal outfage took place yes-
terday, in Sackville-street, near the New Post-Office.
Mr, WALLACE, the leading Counsel of Mrs. Coll.*,
in an action brought by that Lady on Monday against
,Lieutenant MNAMARA, for a breach of promise of
marriage, was violently assaulted by *NA mattA,
and most seriously injured and abused. Mr. WAL.
LACE was on his way' to Court, alone and without
any means of defence. M'NAMARA was armed-with
a gig whis, and accompanied by three cr four sub.
letic men. As soon as M'NAMA&A had satiated his
vindictive feelings, he sprang into a gig, and drove
off. Informations have been sworn by Mr.Wat.taca,
and Peace-Officers dispatched in every direction, in
pursuit of the ruffian.
This transaction has created a great sensation
amongst the Bar. Certainly the independence of the
profession, putting humanity out of the case, seems
to be involved in it. If Counsel are personally
responsible for obeying the instructions of their clients,
and that too in a case where not even a scintilla of
evidence was afforded to contradict his statemen4
the life of a Barrister is precarious indeed.

Saturday the intcre4 excited by this Exhibition
seemed unabated, and Mr. SADLER'S yard was,
throughout the day, respectably thronged with corn-,
pany ; am3ngst whom was the Dpke DECAUS (the
French Ambassador), attended by several foreigners
of distinction, who staid a long time, and appeared
to take great interest in examining the many fine
animals, and ingenious and useful implements and
apparatus, useful roots, seeds, &c. that were exhi-
bited. The Earl of THANET, and many other noble
and distinguished patrons of rural improvements
were present.
Monday a still greater number attended the Shew
than on any former occasion : the yard was literally
crammed in every part through nearly the whole
day. At three o'cbck the Club held a Meeting
at the Freemasons Tavern, Sir JOHN S. &BRIGHT in

,+ Good grazing."
" May Agriculture, Manufhtnres, and Commerce, go hand
in band; and may all be convinced that they are mutually de-
pendent on each ether."
The company entered warmly into the sentiment
of this toast, and very loudly and long applauded It.
Sir HENRY PROTREROE rose, and in a neat and
forcible speech enforced the ,propriety and necessity
of the feeling he had just- seen evinced becoming
general; and concluded with proposing,
" The health of Sir John Sebright"—which was raptutoesty
received.
Sir JOHN &BRIMS?, in returning thanks, promised
to the Agriculturists his best exertions towards ob-
taining for them relief from the gt eat sufferings which
they were now so patiently bearing.
" The health of Mr. Coke" was next drank.
And then Sir JOHN SF.BRIGHT began reading the
award of the Judges, of the several premiums; and
in an appropriate speech complimented most of the
candidates—at the same time handing to each the
plate awarded to him, while the healths of the seve-
ral candidates present were drank. After alluding
to the general excellency of the Cattle Shoe this
year, he gave—
" The unsuccessful Candidates."—With three times three.
" The Judges of the Shew, and thanks to them."
" The Stewards, and thanks to them?"—(At the same time.
it was announced that Mr. Daum Weser= and Mr. Jens
Nicuots were the Stewards for the next year.)
" Mr. Western."—With three times three.
" Mr. Honywood and Sir Edward Kr.atchbull."
Mr. HONYWOOD, in returning thanks, strongly ex-
pressed his opinion, that Trade can only thrive where
Agriculture prospers, and eulogized the exertions of
Mr. Western towards accomplishing these ends.
Sir JOHN SEBRIGHT, lamenting that an engage-
went made it necessary that he should leave them,
neatly expressed the high satisfaction' which he felt
at presiding on these occasions.—The flattering plau-
dits which accompanied higi while retiring &nisi the
room sheaved that the company full y partook of the
same sentiment.
Mr. HONYVIOOD was called to the Chair, arld'geve
" Breeding, in all its branches."
" The memory of Lord Somerville."—Which was drank
standing, in respectful silence.
