THE KING'• YISIT To fRELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY 1 I.—A number of horses, and se-
veral cases of Ingr,age, saddlery, harness, &c. &e.
were landed yesterday from Liverpool, and immediately
sent off to the Tice regal Lodge, in the Park, where
his Majesty will reside during his stay in Ireland.
Prom the repairs which a-, mal.i.ng on the Rock
Road, it is 'supposed his Majesty will, upon his !and-
ing, make his entre into Dublin by that route.
His Majesty. it is believed, will leave London
on the 29th instant, ten dais after the Coronation.
A horse dealer has been traversing the County of
Roscommon, purchasing horses of a description rarely
to be met with, the real, low, stoat, Irish hack, said to
he for the use of his Majesty.

MR. KEA x.—Accounts from New York, dated June 3,
say,--1. Mr. Kean has taken passage in the ship, Martha,
which sails to-morrow morning for Liverpool. The m.*
nagers of the Boston Theatre have publicly disavowed
the statement in Mr. Kean's letter, that they had con-
curred in his refusal to perform. They oliserve that it
hid niet from them all the opposition in their power."
Yesterday the Marquess of Londonderry had an au-
dience of the King at his P.ilace in Pall-mall.
His Majesty took an airing yesterday in his coach
and four.

(OrFICIAL.)--Nis most excellent Majesty has be.•n
graciously pleased to cofnutand, that on the evening (RI
the Coronation day the Theatres Royal, Drury-law-,
Covcnrzarden, the Haymarket, and English Opera-
house, and also Sadler's Wells Theatre, shall be opened
gratuitously to the public ; and in order to prevent
confus. and secure comfort to the audience, they are
to be ada,itted by tickets only to the different parts of
the respective theatres. Every person who u ishes to
attend is to apply between the hours of te,t and two on
Thursday next, at the office of one of the above Thea-
tres, where tickets will be delivered. Each individual,
on delivering his name and address, may obtain two
tickets, one for a Icily, another for a gentleman, until
the whole number of tickets is delivered, and no
greater number will be issued than fur the *mber of
persons they hold.
Our journal of yesterday contained the Queen's ap-
plication to the hereditary Earl-Marshal, that proper
person• should be stationed at the Abbey doors to re-
ceive her Majesty on Thursday next, anti to c unhurt
her to her seat. To this we are now enabled to inform
the public, that his 1; race has replied with the respect-
ful tender of his duty. that Lacing delegated his an-
, thority to a deputy, he has no othcial answer to give.
hut that he has referred her Majesty's application to
the acting- Earl-MAtshal, who, he has no doubt, will
pay immediate attention to it.
_ .

In addition ro the Peer• that Lave been alrcadv
liazetted, we understand the ful:o►ving are to be
added :--Lord Elleolloorongli t.► be an Earl ; Mr.
Minket, awl the Ilion. Frederick West, to be Baron,.

There will be a Grassi Review of Yeomanry, &c. in
Hyde Park, by the King, before they return home
from attending the Coronation.
It appears to be the opinion of many persons, that
by delaying to purchase tickets till the morning of the
Coronation, they o ill be enabled to obtain them at a
considerable reduction of the present price; but on
that morning nu person will be permitted to pass the
harriers without skewing an or kr from the different
galleries where tickets have been previously purchased,
and no sale of tickets will he allowed that day.
MAHRI toe IN Hoot Live.--On Saturday. the 1 ith
inst. at Broadwater, near Worthing, l'homas Driver,
M. D. of Grosvenor-street, (Physician to his Royal I ligh-
ness the Duke of York's household, and Physician ex•
traormlinary to the Prince of Saxe Coburg.) to Marianne.
youngest 'laughter of Thomas Ihmrrien, Esq. of ilares•
boat, Ilerts, and niece of the Right Him. the Countess
of Jlacelestirld. Immediately after the cereni•omy the
happy couple drove off for ilavnnt-house, l Isieliester,
the seat of General Dorrien, therein intending to pass
the honey-moon.
Letters from the Island of St. Thomas, dated the
:nth of May, state that the city of Caraecas has been
taken by the Independents, who entered it on the 13th.
The following par ticmilars are given of the mode in
which this conquest was effected :—On the conclusion
of the armistice, the SpaLisli Generals Morales and
La Torre concentrated their whole force about Va-
lencia and Calahoso, leaving Caraccas wholly unpro-
tected. General Bermudez, who commanded a divi-
sion under Bolivar, perceiving this oversight, marched
upon time city with 1,2110 rum On his march lie en-
countered au advanced post of 300 men, whom he re-
pulsed with ease ; and the Governor, who marched nut
of the city to their assistance at the head of 600 men,
was also defeated. He retreated into Caraccas, and
summoned the Provisional Junta, whom he informed
that they had nothing lel% but to make the best terms
they could with the enemy. A parley ensued, in
I •
which it was demanded of General Bermudez, isise-
timer he would adhere to that article of the treaty of
Truxillo by which the treatment of conquered places
was regulated. and being answered in the affirmative,
they declared themselves ready to meet them as friends.
Those adherents of the Spanish Government who con-
sidered their safety to be compromised, fled to la Guayra,
the sea-port to Caraccas, where they shipped all the
property they could collect on board the ships in the
harbour, and. sailed for Puerto Cavello. Time Gover-
nor and all the troops accompanied them. His Ma-
jesty's ship Sapphire, which was lying at St. Thomas's,
sailed on the 23d of May, for La Guayra and Puerto
Cavello, for the protection of the British property at
those places.
THE SOCkIS BLixot.—Last week, as a poor Italian
'boy was passing through St. Mary Axe, with a white
mouse in a small cage, it by some means effected its
escape from its prison-house, and took refuge in the cel-
lar of Mr. Murphy, a pawnbroker. The poor fellow
alarmed at the abrupt departure of his little all, broke
out in the deepest lamentation and wailing, frequently
throwing himself at full length on the pave-
ment, appearing determined not to survive the loss of
his empital and his hopes. Finding all his efforts to
" shuffle off this mortal coil" unavailing, he jumped up
and exclaimed, in the most frantic manner, accompanied
by the most whimsical gesticulation, " Ah, Messieurs,
Messieurs, mon Souris Blanch ! mon Souris Blanch A
crowd of unfeeling boys, who appeared more amused
with his antics than disposed to search for the lost trea•
sure, kept up such a continued roar of laughter as, no
doubt, induced poor Souris to seek the most secure
bi-
diag place in his new apartment. After a search of
about half atm hour, the luckless mouse was discovered,
brought out by the tail, and once more Fretted the long-
ing eyes of its master, who greedily seized the culprit,
and replaced him in his old abode.

PROGRESS OF LIBERALITY!!!

rnder this heed the Dretiin Moraieg Post of
Thursday, announces the following notice, issued by
the Lord Mayor of that city
" The Lord Mayor, aniiols to unite all classes of
his Majesty's subjects in a cordial and nnivrrsal ex-
pression of loyalty and grai;tude to our beloved Sove-
reign, on the occasion of his .U.sronation and expected
visit to Ireland, requests the citizens of Dublin to ab-
stain from any display of those colours and distinc-
tions, which at this period of the year th..v have here-
tofore indulged in. The Lord Mayor feels he hest
discharges his linty to this great (its., over a hich he
has been called upon to preside, by thus requesting of
them to forego a practice, however innocent in itself,
which may be well dispensed with on an occasion like
the present, where perfect unanimity is so desirable,
and he therefore relies with unfeigned confidence on
the good sense of his fellow citizens, th•t an object of
such general importance will most cheerfully be ac-i
quiescetl. in.
"Nlansion-linuse, Jul• 10."
The day following that, however, in which they
congratulated the Irish puklic on the spirit which had
thus given a promise of promoting National unani-
mity, the same paper bad the mortification to ob-
serve, " that contrary to general expectation, the,
Statue in College-green was bedecked, on the 12th of
July, the annirrrsary, according to the New Stile, of,
the Battle of the Bryn., in the manner usual on the
l2th of July—indeed, there seemed to have been more
than the ritual attention paid to the. trappings, they
were all new and clean, which wits not alwav• the
case. The usual quantity of yells, of firing and bur-
raiug, and :wise• of all descriptions, disturbed the in-
habitants of C011et...1.-green at midnight, when the cc-
remony of the dressing was being performed.—We
I have no: learned that any accident occurred; for-
tunately there was no riot; hut by what a slender
thread the danger of t•►otnit and death hangs over ns
on such ore. slims' A single stone, thrown by an evil-
' dispo.ed person, might cause the loss of many live•.
in proportion as the• people were rejoiced by the no-
tire issued by the Lord Mayor, on the clay preceding,
the greater was their disapp and impatience in
witnessing the miserable exhibition.-

IMEETING OF C.tTIIOLH GENTLEMEN AT
IYARCY'S.

There was yesterday a numerous and respectable
Nertini of Volt('lic Gentlemen, at D'Arcy's Great
!looms. The purport of the Meeting- nos to receive a
Ketort from lAird Fingal, respectintr the overtures
which had been made to his Lordship, and other Ca-
tholic Gentlemen, by a Committee, appointed on the
part of the Corporation of Goldin, for the joint
solemnization of the approaching Civic Festivities, on
the occasion of his llajesty's Coronation and expected
visit to this country, by all classes of his 3lajesty's
subjects.

Lord Fingal, from indisposition, was. we regret to
say, unable to attend. In his absence, O'Connor Don
took the Chair, anti read a statement front his Lord-
ship, of what had occurred. It appeared that Sir
Edward Stanley, as Secretary to the Committee of the
Corporation, had written to Lord Fingal, making the
proposal above stated. and requesting that his Lordship
would appoint an hour for a llcputation to wait on him.
Lord Fingal fnlly coincided in the proposed object,
willingly anticipated the proposed interview, by going
to the Mansion-house, accompanied by some Catholic
Gentlemen, where they met the Committee.

in a conference with the Lord Mayor, Alderman
Marley, and Mr. Shaw, the Member, it was a distinct
understanding, that as a preliminary to the expected
happy union of Protestant and Catholic, all party in-
signia of whatever kind, and all the demonstrations of
party frelin._r whirls could he offensive to Catholics,
should be Lid aside. Upon this understanding they
separated.
The Report of his Lordship having been read, Mr.
O'Connell, after adeertinb• to the circumstance of the
Ile:oration of the Statue in College-green, on the day
immediately following this understanding, with snore
than the usual degree of zeal, recommenJed, that
under the irritated and disappointed feelings which
all present must hare experienced, in common with
himself, at this apparent breach of faith, no resolu-
tion should be entered into; he therefore moved an
adjournment until this day.
Mr. Shiel and Mr. !lowly opposed tlseadjournment,
which was supported by Mr. Nit holas Mahon. After
a discussion of some length, the following Resolutions
were moved by Mr. Shiel, and adopted unanimously :
Resolved—That animated as we are liv the deepest
sentiments of gratitude and joy at the anticipated visit
of our gracious Sovereign to this country, and yielding
to no class of the community in fidelity and attachment
to Isis Royal Person, we lia.l received with the utmost
cordiality, the expression of a wish out the part of the
Lord Mayor, and some other leading Members of the
Corporation of the rite of Dublin, that we should co- !
operate with these in the celebration of so fortunate an
event; and sue entertained a hope that the assnrance
wlsich was given, that all offensive symbols of faction
should be laid aside, would not hay.• been violated. upon
an occasion when all religious differences should be
merged in one united feeling of loyalty and devotion to
his Majesty.
Resolved—That after so distinct an engagement, that
all emblems of party and offensive ceremonies should be
discontinued, the investing of the Statue in College-
green, in the colours notoriously employed for the pur-
poses of insult, is a breach of that undertaking, and
while it naturally provokes political passions into a vio-
lation of the public peace, is more peculiarly calenlated
at this moment to interrupt the harmony to which we
were earnestly anxious to lend our co-operation.
A desultory conversation followed, as to the best
mode of honouring the day of Isis Majesty's Corona-
tion, by a combined effort of Protestant and Catholic ;
nothing definitive was, however, fixed upon, and the
meeting adjourned to Monday next.—(Dublits Morn-
ing Post.)
