BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 1.

A.whimsical event attended the return of Lord
and Lady Srewaar, after the joyous entertainment
at the Barracks on Wednesday. His Lordship had
given a dinner to the subordinates of the 10th Dra-
goons : it was sumptuous, and the corks from about
forty dozen of good old port were drawn to regale
them, besides punch, and strong beer, ad libitum.—
When the grateful veterans, therefore, at ten o'clock,
had taken the horses from his Lordship's carriage, in
their own persons to supply their places, many of
their Officers expressed strong objections to the mea-
sure, apprehensive that they were too high in spirits
for a steady performance of the task. • The soldiers
at first gave way, for there are none in the service
who shew more respect and obedience to their Corn-
manders than those of the 10th, and the measure
might have been abandoned, bUt for an expedient as
suddenly formed as lively and sportive in its effect
—the Officers objecting to the displacing of the
horses, were severally seized, and raised above the
shoulders of the loyal veterans, and, in despite of
themselves, were thus borne on the ground, in front
of the Barracks, amidst the loudest acclamations,
and the general chorus of 4, GOD save the Ring:—
While this was going forward, another party of sol-
diers managed his Lordship's barouche, and the gra- ,
tifying result was, as we have previously stated, the
safe and happy return of his Lordship and Lady to
the York Hotel. It was impossible to be angry with
the brave fellows, for the means they took to evince
their attachment to their esteemed Chief. The affair
has been the cause of much merriment to the whole
corps since. Lord STEWART had given such generous
orders for the entertainment of the Regiment on Wed-
nesday, that three or four hogsheads of humming
stingo remained untouched until the following day,
when, in their broaching, another cause for merriment
ensued. Not a dispute, nor an unpleasant occurrence,
marked the joyous proceedings from first to last.

CONCILIATION.--DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 28.—1 t
seems that a complaint was made to Mr. GRANT,
that the Lisburn Yeomanry, on the 25th ult. indulged
themselves, and offended the Public, by playing cer-
tain irritating party tunes. Mr. GRANT answered the
communication by the following letter :
" Dublin Castle, Sept. 26, 1821.
" Sit—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 25th ult. and to thank you for the trouble you have
taken in conveying the information it contained, whichi lost no
time in submitting to the Lord Lieutenant. His Excellency
having accordingly directed an immediate communication to be
held with the Brigade Major of Yeomanry, in the view to the
special investigation of the matter, his Excellency has the satis-
faction to find, from his reply, that the tunes in question were
inadvertently played, without any intention of giving offence •
but such instructions have been issued as will, it is expected,
fully guard against a like occurrence In future.—l have the
honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" Wm. John• Hancock, Esq. Lisburn. " C GRANT."

menced yesterday, and, according to annual custom,
