LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 4.

The Duke of HAMILTON, Lord DoxonGituoßE,
Lord HUTCOINSON, and General HAMILTON, er.
barked here this day for Dublin, in the Waterloo
steam-packet.

The'passage boats are crowded with Nobilityand
Gentry, who are anxious to witness the lauding of
his MAJESTY on the shore of Erin.

We are informed that a letter has been received
from his Grace the Duke of AruoLL, in which his
Grace states, that having a private audience of his
MAJESTY, he asked whether it was his 3laJEsn's in.
tention to visit Scotland this season, as was reported?
His Mass.sry's answer was, that he had no such in-
tention this season, but that he might probably be
disposed to gratify the people of Scotland nett ses-
son,(Perilt Courier).

VAUXFIALL.—The Masquerade given at these de-
lightful Gardens last night was numerously attended.
The absence of her ittAIESTY (who had promised to
be present) and her alarming indisposition, certainly
contributed in some degree to detract from the mer-
riment which the evening would have produced.
—Whatever pleasantries, however, were excluded,
enough found their Way to the Gardens to keep the
'attention fully occupied,-and the eye and ear agreeably
amused. The superb decorations of the former night
were put forward with augmented splendour. The
weather was exceedingly fine, and the tong, dance,
and revelry was continued with unabated vivacity till
six o'clock this morning. There was an abundance
of personages sufficiently grotesque for anything. The wileafed
manner in which many of the parties selected their associates
was excessively diverting ; instead of going in gmupes of ch•
racters drawn from the same source, and forming regular sets
we were often reminded of " The Journey to the nest Iforld"
In that work our Readers will recollect, Sweeps and Lords, act
having the prejudices of life attached to them, are found plea-
santly walking arm in arm together. So it was here. Ile
most magnificent and the most mean entered the Gardena to-
gether. Contrast was the object aimed at, and it was completely
acccomplished. Prudes, Parsons, Daher, Dustmen. V sty"
Lawyers, Augkrs, Cobblers, Miller!, Robbers, Quakers, 54,-pla
Parish Beadles' Han'equins, Clowns, l'rineesses, Put Ge It, Cougar
nun, and Quack Doctors, with numerous characters from different
Plays, ail mingled in sportive frolics and merry confusiou.

ENGLISH OPERA Housz.—tast night, after the
new Drama of The Witch of Derndeugh, which wet
off with great applause, Mrs. BALLS, from the Yolk
Theatre, made her debut before a London audience
as Marooretta, in the Farce of No Song, no Sapper.
This Lady possesses a good figure and lively man-
ners, and is likely to prove :in acquisition to the Thea-
tre. Mr. HA RLEY, in the part of Endless, the LW.
yer, excited much laughter by the flippancy and
bustle with which he hurried through the scenes.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Yesterday evening, the
new Comedy of Rise and Fall was performed for the
second time, and received with the most unqualifiel
marks of approbation. The whole of the scenery is
new, and tastefully and well executed.
Mr. EMERY and Mr. MUNDEN are engaged r the
English Opera House for the remainder of the scrol.
No effort, indeed, seems omitted to increase the at-
traction of this interesting Theatre.
