KING'S VISI:

TO IRStAXD.

Drams, Jut, s.—His Majesty will sleep at the Lord
Lieutenant's Lodge in the Park, and come into Town
every day by the following rouse, yia.—North Circular-
road, Thirset-street, up Gardiner-street, Oardiner-place,
Great Denmark-street, Rutland-square East, &Orville-
street, Westmorland-street, Culirge•green, Dame-street
to the Castle.
Some of the Treasury Chambers, Lower Castle-yard,
are fitting vp for part of his Majesty's suite.
It is the intention of the Nob:emen and Gentlemen of
the Turf Club, to have Races at the Curragh during his
Majesty's visit, for which they are making the most
splendid and extensive preparations.
A large and elegant room is now building, on a safe
and permanent plan, at the rear of the Mansion-House,
to entertain his Majesty. It is circular, and exceeds in
diameter the Great Rown at the Rotunda. In four days
it has been raised from the foundation to laying the Boor
on a level with the Great Oak Room in the Mansion-

House, where the Lords Lieutenant of Ireland hare
usually dined, and which, on the present occasion, forms
one of a suit of anti-chambers. In about ten days more
the roofing of this grand building is expected to 'be com-
pleted, and by the I st of August the whole will be finish
ed in a manner fit to entertain the Ki►►g.
It has hitherto been a matter of ronsiderable doubt.
whether the South of Ireland was likely to be honour-
ed with his Majesty's presence; on this subject we can
now state a fact, and we do to tipon the most unques-
tionable authority, that a Gentleman in the vic►nity of
this City, reeeiveil within the last week a letter fro►u an
officer of high military rank attached to his llajesty's
Suite, announcing that there was the strongest probabi-
lity, nay, almost a certainty, of his Majesty's coming
into Cove Harbour; the beauty and security of the sta-
tion (not perhaps to he exceeded in his Majesty's Domi-
nions.) having recently, on several occasions, been men-
tioned as an object particularly deserving his Majesty's
notice, on which, he teas pleased to express an hope, that
time and circumstances would enable him to form an
opinion by inspection.—(eurk remiulr.)
Krtan•rs or ST. PaYr.lcu.—There are three vacancies
in this Order at present ; but it is said his Majesty, who
is Sovereign of the Order, will create two new Knights
in addition to the three which are vacant, thereby in-
creasing the number of Knights Companions from 15
to 17.

Her Majesty, we understand, intends to-morrow to
honour Drury-lane Theatre with her presence.
The Queen honored the Surrey Theatre with her
presence on Saturday evening. The House was
crowded to excess. Her Majesty was received on her
entrance with the loudest applause. God tare Me
King was called fur, and sung by the Performers ;
many of the audience singing God save the Queen.—
Her Majesty remained till the conclusion of the per-
formance, and then retired amidst the gratulatory
shouts of an immense crowd, whom her presence at the
Theatre had attracted to the spot.
At Hampton races on Thursday last, Wonrermans
won the Coburg Stakes of 3 guineas each at two heats;
beating Carbon, Mrs. Bang and Souvenir ; Philols
won the Ladies' Plate at two heats. The Stewards
decided that Phillip's Jockey had crossed Marksman,
and another heat was run between the two, and won
by Marksman; for this heat Philip did not start.
On Friday, Shim won the Handicap Sweepstakes of
5 guineas each, at four heats; Mr. Itogers's b. m.
won the Sweepstakes of 10 guineas each fur horses not
. _

►y Sorcerer, won the tientlemen's purse of guineas.
At Lancaster races on Tuesday, 31r. Simpson's b. f.
►y Corrector, won the Town Plate at two beats ; Re-
veller won the Gold Cup.
THE ROT AL TOUH.—A meeting of a number of the
principal inhabitants of Birmingham has been held,
to consider of the most respectful method of inducing,
if possible, the honour of a visit from his Majesty to
that place on his route to Ireland. A proper repre-
sentation of the wishes of the inhabitants has been
made to the Secretary of State.

YORK. Jezr 1.
--...--

Last night. about nine (Vetoer, this ci•y
was thrown into a state of gnat alarni, by the
ringing of several of the church bells, and the cc,
of 6re! Crowds repaired from all parts of the city
to the place where the fire had broken out, wh:Lu was
the Castle Mills, behind the County jail—the cause
&c. of the fire were as follow :--The wills are in the
occupation of Mr. Thos. Ilopps; but 3lessrs. Situpsow,
whose large mill, near N,rtli-street. was lateiy de-
stroyed by fire, have also made use of them since that
event, and had a large quantity of flour, &c. there last
evening, when the tire commenced. It appeals that
the millers left the place, apparently safe, helm eel: 7
and ti o'clock, and that about nine, a person passiog
by discovered it to be on fire, and gave the Watt% A
large beam had very improperly been connected with
the flue of the boiler of the steam engine : and had
most probably been burning long, very long, before it
was discovered. An engine from the Barracks, and
two from the ci:y, were immediately procured ; and
by eleven o'clock the devouring element was entirely
subdued. A large quantity of the flour, &c. resew d
from the mills, was guarded by several of the Barrack
soldiers, (to whose attention great praise is due,) till
carts, &c. were procured to remove it to other places
of safety. The property was all of it i•isitred.—
We hear that the total damage is not estimated at
mare than two or three hundred pounds. With great
pleasure we also add, that no lives were los: on ti:e
occasion, nor did any serious accident whanorer
occur.

FATAL AND AFFECTING OCCVREENCE.—OD Thurs-
day last, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body
of Cherie Robinson, who met his death under the
following melancholy circumstances. The deceased
was apprentice to Mr. James Barra, plumber and gls-
tier, in this city. An elder apprentice, named Kirby,
had been out on the two preceedings days, shouting
crows, and on his return on Wednesday evening, had
put the piece loaded, in the workshop, which is up
stairs. About eight o'clock, a youth about 14 years
of age, of the name of Knowles, was sent into the alsorr
to fetch down something which was wanted : the fowl-
ing-piece met Isis eye, and curiosity prompted him to
handle it; while be was thus employed, Robinson had
occasion to enter the same place to get souse glass, and
just as lie entered within the doorstead, the gun went
off, and its contents were lodged in his body Robin-
son uttered an exclamation, sprung ronni, and ran
down the first pair of stairs—there his strength was
exhausted, he fell to the foot of the next flight of.lteps
and almost immediately expired. The jury returned
4 verdict of Accidental Death. It is scarcely possible
to read the many fatal accidents that have been caused
by the careless use of fire arms, without being impressed
with regret, that so little attention should be paid to
the circumstance.
