AUGUST 31.-INSTALLATION BALL.

Last night, the Ball given by the Knights of St.
Pati ick took place at the Rotunda. It was attended
by all the rank, beauty, and fashion at present in
Dublin. His MAJESTY arrived shortly after ten
o'clock, and remained about an hour. He departed
soon after eleven o'clock. At the time his MAJESTY
arrived at the Rotunda, the line of carriages extended
from the Rotunda to Carlisle-bridge.
During the KING'S Visit to Slane Castle on Sa-
turday, his MAJESTY rode out on horseback seve-
ral hours, accompanied by two Ladies, the Mar-
chioness Cosy's:L:llAm, Lady gLIZABETII CONYNG..
GAM, the Duke of MoNrnoss, and Lord MouNT-
Ciia RI.ES, attended only by a single servant ; he pro-
ceeded along the banks of the Boyne, to view that
fine river, and the noble plantations on either side of
the Lords CONYNGIIAM and BOYNE, and of Mr.
LAsi 'JERI'. The KING appeared in excellent spirits.
He was plainly dressed, in a blue frock coat, round
hat, and blue trowsers, and looked remarkably well,
notwithstanding the hustle and fatigue of the pre-
ceding week. He afterwards visited Townly Hall,
the seat of BLANEY Bar.Fouft, Esq. and appeared
pleased and gratified by the continued and respectful
attention everywhere paid him. On Sunday his MA-
JESTY went to Slane Church, which, long before Di-
vine Service, was crowded to excess by every person
of rank in the country who could gain admission.—
Going and returning, the KING was loudly cheered
by the assembled multitudes who flocked from all
quarters to greet his MAJESTY. A large and fashion-
able party, invited to meet the KING, were afterwards
entertained at dinner by Lord CONYNGIIAM.

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
DUBLIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST st.

His MAJESTY left the Park this morning at seven
o'clock for the Curragh, where, I suppose, he arrived
about ten o'clock, or more probably about twelve
o'clock, if he stopped to breakfast. This day has
not been altogether so fine as yesterday there having
been some inclination to rain. The race-ground
must be in bad order for running, but his MAJESTY
will see the finest Course in Europe, and, notwith-
standiqg the disappointment to thousands, who ex-
pected the Royal visitor on Wednesday, there will
no doubt be a multitudinous assemblage. His MA.
JESTY was expected to return to the Park to a late
dinner. His MAJESTY was at the Knights of St.'
Patricks' Ball, at the Rotunda, last night, which was
immensely grand, but, of course, he did not dance.
It was originally intended that the KING should give
a Ball at the Castle, but, I believe, that intention is
relinquished. It is said that he will pay a second
visit to Slane to-morrow, proceed from thence, on
Monday, to Powerscourt, in the County of Wicklow,
the beautiful seat of the Earl of POWERSCOURT, and'
from thence to Dunleary, where he will embark for
England. Your prints, of a certain description,
accuse us Irish of adulation, and intoxication, Stc.l
on the present occasion, but, despite of their sneers or
their accusations, I will fearlessly assert that the
KING will carry with him our hearts, and even com•
mand our hands.

Though last, not least, I have to inform you that
the jolly and good-natured Knight, Sir Wm. CURTIS,
and his Dutch barge, quitted us this morning.

lIIS NIAJESTY'S VISIT TO TIIE CURRAGII.
Des!" WEDNESDAY, Atiouvr

Tuesday, Lord PORTARLINGTON, deputed by the
Turf Club, waited on his MAJes•rv, who received his
Lordship in the most gracious manner, and expressed
himself sorry that the unfavourable state of the wea-
ther obliged him to concur in the opinion of the
Stewards regarding the propriety of postponing his
visit to the Curragh.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED CURRACII, WEDNES-

DAY, TEN O'CLOCK, A.M.

Notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the two
last days, the roads and different inns, in every direc-
tion, leading to the Curragh, have been crowded to
excess. So great was the anxiety to get forward,
that at Black Church ten guineas were offered
for a pair of horses on to the Curragh, but even this
offer was unwillingly refused, from inability to com-
ply. This morning it began to clear up a little, about
half-past eight, and in a short time the immense num-
ber of people in motion cannot be conceived; horse-
men, pedestrians, low backed cars filled with country
girls, with countenances beaming with health and
joy, added not a little to enliven the scene. It is im-
possible to conceive the enthusiasm and heattfelt joy
of the peasantry, at the idea of seeing their KING ;
their constant exclamation is—" GOD bless him, and
send him among us again!" I have it in my power
to state from authority, that an order has been re-
ceived by the Jailor of Naas, to make a return of such
debtors as are in his custody, for sums amounting to
and not exceeding fifty pounds, in order to their being
discharged, through funds arising by subscriptions
from the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Turf Club.
All the inns, and, indeed, every house affording any
kind of entertainment, are completely engaged.

ROTA L STAND-HOCSZ, WIDNISDAY, TUILEZ O'CLOCK.

Lord PottzattuNnTort .has arrived here with the
intelligence, that his *AJZSTY has deferred his visit

_ _ DUBLIN, FLIDAT AMINOWN.

About a quarter before nine o'clock this morning
his MAJESIY set out for the Curragh, and was met

by the Connty of Dublin Gentlemen on horseback,
who escorted him to Celbridge, where he was met by
&smiler; MILLS, Esq. High Sheriff of the County of
Kildare, his Grace the Duke of LEINSTER, Lord
CLONCURRY, the Governors of the County, the County
Members, the Nobility, Gentry, &c. &c. decorated
with a ruby-coloured tabbinet scarf. His MAJESTY
proceeded thence to Newbridge, where the Royal
standard was hoisted, and where the Duke of LElN-
srEn's tenantry, on horseback, a countless number,
formed four deep, fell into the procession. Every man
had a tabbinet scarf, with the motto of the Cron: a
Boo" in gold letters, and a medal suspended round
his neck. From Newbridge the cavalcade proceeded
at once to the Royal Stand House, where his MA- II
JEsTv was received by the following Noblemen and
Gentlemen, acting as Stewards :—His Grace the
-Duke of LEINSTER, Lord MAYO, Lord DUNALLY,
and Captain BROwNE, as Ranger of the Curragh.
