win the wisest, and the coldest, warm,'—it is evident
his Majesty came to please, and be pleased ; and as
no person in his dominions was happier than he was
whilst here, •o has every human being in Ireland the
warmest feelings of devotion and loyalty to him at this
moment. I was close .o his Majesty when be entered
the room, which we built in anticipation of the honour'
entertaining him, and you may form some idea of
oar exertions to render it worthy of the King, when
Ittell you that be exclaimed involuntarily, with appa-
rent admiration and delight, the entire surpasses !'
How happily would not all have terminated but fur
the toast !"

The turn of his Majesty's head, the shape of his hat
and clothes, have become quite the fashion in Ireland
since the King's visit; every act of the Royal Per-
sonage has found a crowd of admirers; even the man-
ner in which his Majesty drank his wine is imitated
in every company by those who wish to have a cha-
racter 1 lodges of the flavour of Rhenish. The King
on puhli , occasions always drank bumpers, but he
kppt iris glsgs four times longer to his lips than is or-
dinarily allowed for swallowing a cheerful glass, and
seemed to sip the wine drop by drop. so that the palate
had the fullest opportunity of imbibing the flavour of
no doubt a rare and rich vintage. The King threw
his head gently back as he sipped his glass, but nrver
took due wine .from his lips, until he cleared the
bumper. _ _

Before the Corporation of London incur any expen
sive preparations for the civic feast intended f..r his
Majesty, we should recommend a reference to the Lord
Mayor of Dablin, upon the probability of the King's
acceptance of the invitation : if we are not misinform-
ed,' his Majesty was graciously pleased at the Lord
Mayor's grand dinner in Dublin to express him-
self ta the meat confidential and condescending unit-
ner to Sir Bradley King upon a variety of topics
connected with the unrivalled splendour of the feast, and
the improbability that his Majesty should lose his vivid
recollection of the civic display, by any future attempt to
engross his attention by a similar compliment at this
side of the water. We are told, indeed, that the King
distinctly informed the Lord Mayor of Dublin, that the
Corporation of London may invite him, but —. We
)Link it right to give the anecdote, and it comes front
high antfiority, to spare the city purse. The Lord Mayor
of Dublin might perhaps have mistaken his Majesty's
exrreesiOns ; and, on an occasion where so much chaw•
paigne was uncorked, a lapse of memory may be excused.
The King might have only intended a compliment to
his host, and to console him with the assurance that
" done bat himself should be his parallel." But as the
anecdote exists, it is right our city friends should look
to it.

out paying the reckoning. They were parsued by
Austin (a servant to the house,) who, in attempting
to wrench a scythe from the hand of John Bone, was
greatly cut.
The Learned Judge interrupted the trial, by observ=
ing that the evidence offered had not made nut such
a case as could sustain the present charge. The pri-
soners might however be indicted for a cruel and violent
assault.

The prisoners were therefore acquitted, with a proper
admonition from the Judge.
FORGED NOTES.
Ann Davis, an elderly woman, was put to the bar; *.
charged with disposing of and putting away two forged
one pound notes, with intend to.defrand his Ma;esty'e
subjects.
It appeared, that on Saturday the 4th of August, . the
prisoner had purchased some tea and sugar at the shop
of Mr. Newland, Charles-street, Islington, and had ten+
dered in payment a one pound note. The shopman sew-
peeled the note to be a bad one, but gave the change to
the prisoner, who went away. On the following. Mona
day another woman cause to the sta. ship, and
desired to have some tea and sugar. led change
for a one pound note. The shopman recollecting the
former note, declined to change this, but desired to look
at it. The woman gave him it, and he sespected it to
be forged. lii asked her who had sent her, and she
replied a woman whom she did not know, and is.olft
she had met in cross-street. The 'shopman described
the prisoner as she had appeared on the Saturday be-
fore, and the woman said that she believed her to be the
person who had sent her. The shopman desired the
woman to wait until he had procured a constable, and
having done so they all proceeded to the house in Cross- ,
street where the Woman had left the prisoner. The
prisoner had gone, but the shopman saw her go past the
shop in about two hours after, and had her taken into
custody. The prisoner had, when she passed thaftesa .
note, given an address " Roberts, Covent Garth,'"
which, upon inquiry, was no where to be found.
Sarah Leach, the woman whom the prisoner had *sent
with the second note, stated that she had heilk.4l the pri-
soner asking for change at Mr. Norton's, Cross-street,
sad had offered to try to procure it in cars the note was
a good one. The prisoner assured her that it was, and
witness then went to Mr. Newland's shop, where sha
was detained in the manner already related,.

Mt. Justice Rictrannenv summed up, and the Jury
found the prisoner " Guilty," but recommended her to
mercy.
