of the room with true re,;4l dignity, supported by the
Lord Mayor, who conducted him to his Throne. His
Majesty's .uite, and the Dignitaries most illustrious in
occupied the Royal table. (irate wa• said by
tie,. Lord Primate, when the whole of the guests re-
sumed their seats. The Lord Mayor helped his Ma
jest:• to soup; bat some persons on his Majesty's left,
i s,; air rto be helped, and being too far from
the Lord Mayor, his Majesty, in the most condescend-
ing manner, took the ladle, and helped the Lord
Lieutenant, Prince fisterhazy, the Lord Chancellor,
sin?, some others. When his 51ajesty bad finished his
so•tp. he took his glass, and immediately challenged
the Lord 314 vor, who s it it;son Isis right, and the Lord

bowed to his Nfajesty, who drank to both their healths.

The cloth being reinnved, the LORD MAYOR rose,
anal proposed the health of
" Onr most grations Sovereign, who had honoured
this day his Corporation of the City of Dublin with his
presence."
This toast was received with the most enthusiastic
applause. The whole company made one simulta-
neous movement, with their glasses charged high, and
each individual most enthusiastically drank to the
health and.long life of his beloved Sovereign. His
Majesty at this meat rose, anal having bowed in the
m 41. gra,lions Intoner to tho,e ahont his own person,
tad to the Corporation anal visitors below him, and
also to nor fair countrywomen, who graced the circu-
lar gallery, sat down amidst a thunder of applauses.—
The. bind immediately struck up the national Anthem,
and the whole vocal strength of the city joined in a
most delightful choru which appeare,l to give great
satisfaction to his Majesty. as he kept time most accu-
rately with his hand upon the table, anal expressed his
approbation more than once to the Lord Lieutenant and
the Lord Mayor.
The LORD Maros next gave " The Disk. of York
and the Army," and subsequently, "The Du ke of Cla-
rence and the Navy." both of which toasts were re-
ceived with acclamation.

The next toast iscludeil all the Members of the
Royal Family.—(Lund cheering )

was his host upon this occasion, his delight and snr-
prise at the splendid preparations that had been made
for his reception. His Majesty's commendations were
of such a nature as to call up the Lord Mayor to make
his linmhle acknowledgements to his Majesty.
His Majesty. after having most condescendingly taken
wine with all those immediately about him, intimated
his wish to retire; and the necessary arrangements
being made, at a few minutes before ten o'clock his
Majesty stood op, and, attended by the Lord Mayor
and all the great Officers of State, proceeded down
the centre of the room, all the company standing.—
The National Anthem was again played on his Ma-
jesty's quitting the room. It was feared that the
festivities of the evening would have been now broke.

' Lord Si tomov.rn returned thanks.
`• The Marquess of LuNnovntaev" rtes the next
toast. In expressing his acknowledgments for %Ise
kindness shewn him, his Lordship did not fail to
notice, as characteris;ic of the people the reception
his Majesty met the moment lie touched the Irish shore,
and the manner of his Majesty's arrival. He landed.
his Lordship, unaccompanied by a single soldier,
and was followed to his palace by crowds, amongst whom
only one sentiment pervaded; it was one of devotion
to the person of the Monarch, and attachment to the
Throne.

The health of the Marquess of Conyngbam haring
been drank,
The Noble MARQUE'S returned thanks.

The LORD MAYOR nest OM the health of Sir Wil-
liam Curtis, and Sir William rose up and returned
thanks.

The Lem) MAYOR soon after gave " The Mayor and
loyal City of Cork,"
In returning thanks for which, Sir Anthony Peniit
spoke.
The Loren %%volt then roar, and gave, etupbati-
eally—" Our Most firatious Sovereign, Georgi
Fourth, the King of Irelsol." The band *pia played

"Ciod save the King."
The Lord Mayor left the Chair, awl Mr. Ablermar
Beresford was unanimously called to it. we should
wish here to close our account of this grand entertain-
ment ; it would he for the honour of the Corporation ;
it would tend nut a little to strengthen and promote
that honour of sentiLient, an' of public affection so
much boasted of in the course of the evening, and so ,
necessary to be established, if this unfortunate country
is to be ever rescued from the gloomy, and almost
hopeless state in which she has remained during so
many ages of suffering. But the Corporation of
Dublin could not, it would seem, let one peaceable
eight pass away undisturbed by the hideous and dis-
heartening yell of intolerance. They had, during the
last month, witnessed, and all bat these men admired
the generous oblivion on the part of their Catholic
countrymen, of all past causes of insult and irritation
—the band of peace an:l conciliation was warmly and,
sincerely tendered to them, but the melancholy vic-
tims of a stupid, rancorous, and remorseless
bigotry, have hearts cloooei up, we fear, against
all approaches of foirnolsloip, peace and confidence.
True to their object, that of disunion, they seized on
the first opportunity that presented itself bf in-
sulting the great majority of their countrymen, by
drinking that celebrated toast—" the glorious and
immortal memory," whirls is PO well known in Ireland
as the watch word of disscootion, and which has been
so otter followed by scenes of blood and violence.
The hero is ho had the merit of proposing this toast,
was Mr. Alderman Dsrley. We wish him all the ho-
nour that such an act can throw around him and the
Corporation ; where some disgraceful scenes of vio-
lence followed ; indeed, as a matter of course, which
we shall, in charity to the elevated spirits of the
night, pass over in contensptuoss silence. We greatly_
fear that this breach of all confidence on the part 67

the Corporation, will be the com►nencement of open
hostility, and (Ind the anion of parties which my Lord
Londonderry talked of in such as exulting strain,
will turn out to be a mere delusion—a hollow sound
to amuse the public ear for the advancement of a
purpose.

ALDERMAN DARLEY.

[FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING NMI.]

We request the attention of the Earl 'falhot, the
Marquess of Londonderry, and Lord Sidmoutl., to
the following short article ; nay, if it would net ►e
deemed pre‘nmptuous, we would humbly solicit the
attention of our most gracious King.
We have, in another place, given an account of the

magnificent banquet given to hi% Majesty by the City I
of Dublin. We have endeamered to do justice to the
scene, as well as to thearrangements made. They were
indeed, take them altogether, such as were suitable to
the occasion, and honourable to the exertions of the
Lord Mayor and the general Stewards. Through the
entire evening, Sir Ab. King conducted himself in the
most praiseworthy and hospitable manner. Every
thing that a host could do to render bis guests comfort-
able, was done by the Chief Magistrate. After he re-
tired, Alderman Beresford was invited to the Chair,
and there could not have been a better Chairman.—
About eleven o'clock, a dtputation of certain persons
waited on him, to request that he would give a woo.
The toast proposed was, " the Glorious and himoital
Memory"—a toast which has done snore to keep alive
and perpetuate a bad and bitter feeling, than any
watchword of Sedition ever beard in this or any
other country. Alderman Beresford then declined
the invitation. Alderman Darley, however, the
Police Magistrate, who holds his place imme
diately. under the Government—who holds Met
place upon good brharioar—who is appointed rape
daily to preserve the peace, amply paid for the duty—
who, we say, of all men in society, should be distin-
guished for obedience to the commands of his supe-
riors—for compliance with the desire of the
King—
for the strictest propriety in meads', not only the
duties of his office, but also for the good sense and
good feeling by which a man, in his place, should
avoid giving an °fence or provoking a breach of the
peace—Alderman Darley, the Police Magistrate, after
speech* for a while, was the first man to ling the
apple of discord amongst the King's loyal subjects, by
giving" The Glorious, Pious, sad Immortal Memory !"
This toast was reiterated from the Chair amid the
loude%t clamour.

We need not uy, that we entertain no personal

enmity against this man: Indeed we have no persollsai
enmity against any man. In what we are about to
say, we are influenced alone by a sense of what is
doe to the peace of the Country, and what we ewe, as
loyal subjects, to 'he person dour gracion and. bene-

_ Fire ? We base answered this ques-
des repeatedly--his Majesty has answered it for as.
The following is an extract from his Majesty's An-
swer to the Arabbishops. Bishops, and Clergy of the
Established Church :

lily ask,
Iting this

" I rely, with confidence, en your assiduity and ear-
nestness in the discharge of the sacred duties of your
Ministry, and upon your zealous, and unremitting en-
deavours, both by precept and example, to promote and
cherish the benevolence and charities of our holy reli-
gion, amongst all classes and descriptions of your fel-,
low subjects."
Had Alderman Darley, who was receiving the King's
money, this paragraph in his mind, when he gave this
toast? Did he recollect for what his Majesty had come
to Ireland? Did he recollect the whole tenor of the
King's conduct during his visit? Did he recollect .the
Conciliation Dinner, at which the Cbief Magistrate of
Dublin presided, and which was honored by the pre-
sence of Lord Fingall, as representative, on this occa.
sion of the Catholic feeling of Ireland? Where was
the memory of this magistrate? Where was his de-
cency—where his loyalty to the King ? [hitherto
loyalty has Seen a marketable commodity in Ireland•
It was a commodity, of which Alderman Darley and his
like have made money. It is now the spontaneous, the
unpurchased and imphurrhasable feeling of the whole
nation. It will continue so, in spite of the efforts of
Alderman Darley and his party. But we have no hesi-
tation in saying, that the attempt which this paid magis-
trate has made to disturb the unanimity of the Irish
people—to sow dissension once more amongst them
should he punished. We do not desire to see him dis.
missed, though lie richly deserves it ; but lie should re-
ceive a reprimand for this insult to the King—for this
violation of his duty as a magistrate—fur this insult to
the country;—sod this reprimand should be made
public.

STOCK ENCH.INGIg, KLEV/ril O'CLOCK.

The house is much crowded this morning, and a
great deal of business is transacting. The great
Speculators have returned from Path, end have com-
menced their operations in the Funds. A certain
panic prevails in the market, and the Bolls and Bears
seem to be afraid of each other. The Consols opened
at 75, with a very heavy market. To-morrow being
Settling•day, it is feared that some heavy failures will
take place.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The panic hal partly subsided, and the Funds are a
quarter per Cent. better.

The Paris papers to the 26:1i inst. which have
readied us since our last, throw no further light on the
•iews of the Ottoman and Russian Cabinets. No in-
telligence has yet arrived to authenticate the pretended
contents of the l'itiotaimm transmitted by Russia to
Constantinople. It is scarcely credible that Alexander
will content himself with the terms which he is sup-
posed to have offered to the Porte, viz. the evacuation
of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Turkish troops; an
amnesty in favour of uu.irmed Oreeks ; the re-estab-
lishment of the Greek Churches ; a free passage (which
was actually enjoyed by Russia previous to the rup-
ture) through the Dardanelles fur the Russian ships
laden with corn ; and an apology to Baron Strogonoff,
It appears by an article, dated Berlin, August 16, that
no movement whatever had taken place in that capi-
tal, indicating a disposition on the part of Prussia to
interfere directly or indirectly in any contest between
Russia and Turkey. The Duke of Wellington and Sir
Charles Stuart had a private interview of the French
Monarch on Friday last, when Sir Charles officially
communicated to his Majesty the news of the Queen's
death. An order was consequently issued for a Court
Mourning of twenty-one days, according to the regular
etiquette.

Our Ales of Jatnaica papers to the Ist of July, bring
accounts that the crops in several parts of the island
have sustained serious injury by a long and distressing
drought. The Emeritus has taken house a large sum

AMea, was daily expected at Port Royal, for the pur-
pose of taking his Grace the Duke of Manchester to
Ragland. Accounts from the Recluse represent that
