VIIIIT OF THE LORD LIEUTENAN't THE
THEATRE.—DESPERATE ORANGE RIOT. •
On Saturday evening, the Theatre was crowded' to'
excess. The expected presence of our distinguised Vice-
roy had drawn together all that remains in Dublin of
rank and fashion; to hail his first appearance in public,
singe his arrival amongst as. • The eowp de was truly"
magnificent, the boxes beamed with. beauty and spiels-
aicor, the very pigeoselotes were occupied, the pit was
o full that many persons were forced to stand on the'
pediment of the Ant tier of boxes, and the galleries were
larrelly "surfeited." • '
The box prepared for his Excellency was elegantly
sad testeftilly fitted op ; it was lined With crimson cloth,
and a canopy was erected is front. covered nub crimson
velvet, richlyornameoted with gold trimming, and icor-
loomed with the Royal arms. The front paunch of the
lt.s was rote* with drapery to correspond, in the cen-
re of *hick his Extelleicy's etas were placed. In the
trot of the box a richly gilt Chair of Mater to match:
ticedrarry of the how, was placed far his Excellency. •
At a few minutes after , hie Excellency and suite
mitered **splendid box *bleb bad been prepared for
their reception. An oniversel feeling of enthesiestisper4
rated the hoes* at the appearance of the Noble Mar-
got's; tea thousand voices were raises: to testify to his
worth. and to manifest the general respect in ti Icicle
his cashed character ia held by his coutrtryosen. This
'coinage tivideetly proceeded from the heart, and his Ex•

nour and truth. whether such treatmeet weft deserved by '
the tried and faithful servant of his country, iterate talents ,
have extended British power abroad, and whose wisdom has
supported its dignity at home. The eloquence of this sp-
peal was felt almost universally. A thousand arms were
lifted up to offer protection, and a general cry *es raised
for vengeance on the miscreant.
Several flentlemen, amongst whom were some of his
Excellency's suite, pawned from the upper tier of boxes
into the gallery, and, notwithstanding a most deter.
mine,' resistance, sncceeded in apprehending some of
the ring leaders in this horrible outrage. We regret to
say that one young gentleman, who gallantly volunteer-
ed in this dangerous undertaklog, received a severe cut
under the eye, and was otherwise injured by the bind-
peons of these Septembriecurs, but u several persons,
some of them well known, (and seas a very remarkable
character) are in custody, we expect that the offended
dignity of the Viceroy, and insulted name of our Coun-
try, will be avenged by their exemplary punishment.

Orchestra. This desperate attempt to assassinate the
Lord Lieutenant occurred between the play and farce.
Mr. Johnston., the Lord Lieutenant's Secretrary, hav-
ing mended into the Middle Gallery, be frail thence
addressed himself to the Upper (lathery. Such was
the confusion that prevailed, that only a few of his
words could he collected. Mr. Manatees*, however,
spoke to the following effect :—" The Lord Lieutenant
