NIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUGUST co.
Saturday, his MAJEsry gave a dinner at the Regal',
Palace in the Park. There were present, amongst
other personages of distinction, the Loan LIEUTE-
NANT, the LORD Nlavort, the two Princes and Prin-
cess ESTERHAZY, the Duke of Mouraosa, the Mar-
quis of ANGLESEA, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, &C.
The LORD MAYOR and Corporation, on foot and
uncovered, attended Sir WILLIAM Cuar ts through
the City yesterday, after their return from Christ
Church.
During Divine Service at the Cathedral of Christ
Church, and whilst those who were in the great aisle
were arranging themselves to gain a view of his MA-
JESTY on his return to his carriage, a young man, of
very genteel appearance, placed himself on one of the
statues, and during the great anxiety to see the KING,
he was seized with an apoplectic fit, from which he
fell on his face senseless to the ground : an immediate
alarm was the consequence : Mr. Stott Es, a surgeon,
who was in the Church, repaired to the unfortunate
man's assistance ; but, contrary to his advice, the
friends of the young man had him removed. to an
hospital, where he died in a very short time after.
Several gross and wanton outrages were perpe-
trated by a mob of the very lowest description,
during the illuminations on Saturday night. About
eleven o'clock they became troublesome, and from
twelve to three on Sunday morning, they carried on an
uninterrupted and most active career of destruction.
-:--The houses and property of the most respectable
citivens were assailed. Windows in which lights were
kept burning until one, and half-past one o'clock,
were nevertheless totally destroyed at two; and many
windows were demolished which were actually illu-
I minted at the moment the stones were thrown.

DUISLIN, AUGUST 21.
At one o'clock this day, one of the most numerous
and respectable Meetings we remember to have wit-
nessed, was held at the Itoyal Exchange, for the pur-
pose of entering into a Public Subscription to erect a
Testimonial, commemorative of the glorious and au-
spicious event of his MAJESTY'S visit to this country.
The Loan Mayon was in the Chair, surrounded
by the most distinguished personages in the country,
of every rank and sect. His Lordship then read the
Requisition, in pursuance of which the Meeting was
convened, and briefly addressed the Meeting upon
the glorious object which they had met to promote,
and in which he knew he should have to witness but
one opinion—(f/ear, hear).
The Archbishop of 'luau prefaced, by an eloquent
speech, a series of Resolutions for their adoption. He
said that the proof given by his Majesty of his pater-
nal regard for his Irish subjects, could not possibly
be more strongly demonstrated, than by this visit, so
immediately after the ceremony of the Con:4l6on.
It was, he said, delightful to find th tt the people felt
as became them the inimitable blessings which must
flow from this royal act on the part of a Sovereign
whose councils were marked by wisdom and perse-
verance, in the pursuit of everything which was cal-
culated to confer happiness upon his people. They
had every reason to hope that the benefits of his Ma-
jesty's example would mu.t be transient, bet that they
would be long felt in the improved condition of the
people, and in the securing for them all those advan-
tages which were compatible with the claims of
others. He trusted that the benign influence of the
King's visit would stimulate the land-owners of the
country to a residence among their peasantry. It
had been hitherto the want of that residence which
was the bane of the country, and had plunged the
peasantry into insubordination, barbarity, and po-
verty—(Applause).—His Grace concluded by offer-
ing up a prayer for the health and prosperity of his
Majesty, to enable him to fulfil his most gracious in-
tentions towards his loyal and affectionate people.
The Earl of FINGAL seconded the Resolutions, and
said, that although not a public speaker, he could
not refrain, on this occasion, from bearing his testi-
mony to the sound and just view which the Right
Reverend Mover had taken of the blessings which
must flow from his Majesty's most gracious visit to
this country. Every heart was warm in exultation,
at the present most gratifying opportunity of express-
ing to the Sovereign the sentiments which animated
the breasts of Irishmen. Ile (Lord Fingal) must feel
particularly grateful, having been flattered so strongly
by his Majesty's most condescending selection, as one
of those who were to be honoured by mat ks of the
Royal favourL—(Lond applause).—lle cordially se-
conded the Resolutions.
When the question was pat from the Chair,
Mr. O'CoNNELL suggested the propriety of embo-
dying in one of the Resolutions, a recommendation,
that the Testimonial should not be one like those pil-
lars which commemorate the triumphs, great as they
were, of a Wellington and a Nelson, but that it should
be a Palace—(Loud cheers).—The King had given
them hopes that he might occasionally cheer and
gratify them by his presence. Let them then enable
his Majesty to say, while other Princes can dwell in
Palaces built for them Out of the Taxes of their sub-
jects—" Here, here is mine, built for me by the over-
flowing hearts of my people !"—(Loud cheering).—
They had heard of the conquests which had marked
the reign of his Majesty, but the conquest he had now
achieved was greater than them all—it was a triumph,
by the benign influence of his presence, over the pas-
sions and prejudices which had unhappily convulsed
this country.--(Cheers); and of their King, he might
say with nuth, that they had witnessed an him, by
his manners and comportment since he came among
them, all that conciliation and blandness which
marked him out as the most accomplished Gentle-
man of his day—( Load applause).—Mr. O'Connell
earnestly suggested, that the Testimonial should, if
possible, be a Palace, to which not alone the rank
around him could contribute, but, to the erectiep of
which, every peasant could from his cottage contri-
bute his humble mite. This was the more necessary,
where the joy of the occasion penetrated the hum-
blest dwelling, as well as the most resplendent man-
sion—( Load claws).
The Archbishop of TUAM, Mr. LUKE WHITE,
Mr. SINGER, ME.GLIINNESS, MT. WALKER, and one
or two other Gentlemen, agreed in the propriety of
this suggestion, should the funds of the Subscription
enable them to carry it into practical effect.
It was then determined, that, the lion, and Rev.
Posiettoy and Mr. T:IONIAS MACDOSNELL
should act as Pluvisiignal Sco..t.tii;:a; and chat, on.
Sstuid.q next) ak the Royal Esatanze, ileckiti of

the Subscribers should be held, to'norninate a Coot•
naittce, to promote the ultimate object cf the Meeting,
The Lotto Palm ATE Was then cannel to the Cliair,
and the cordial thanks of the Meeting voted to the
Lord Mayor. A large Subscription Was ,hen entered
into, and the Meeting adjourned.
Monday, a grand dinner of the Dc.putation%
charged with Addresses of Congratulation on his
MAJESTY'S arrival in this country, took place at
RISSON.S. About one hundred Noblemen and Gen•
tlemen were assembled to commemorate this auspi-
cious event. The Chair was ably filled by the MAvok
of Cork ; and Mr. Ma n RETT, the Mayor of Limerick,
acted as Vice• President. _ _

BON Mor.—One of the Gentlemen in the KING 's
suite having mentioned before the witty Lord
that the KING felt much graphed by the ardent and
enthusiastic' reception of his Irish subjects. " Aye"
replied his Lordship, gg Ireland is the place to get 4
Cordial reception!"

IRISH versus ENGLISH BULLS.
Says Pat," those curs'il English are sadly provoking.
" About Irish Bulls they're so frequently joking;
" By my shout they've no cause of our bulk to `peak,
" They make more in n fortnight than we in a ne..k !"
