Lord Portatlington has arrived here with the lute!.
Iket-ce that Isis Alajesty had deferred his visit until
Friday—a messenger was immediately dispatched to
H. Hamilton, Esq. who was with an immense body

' ing the road from the entrance of the Curragh to a

more numerous than they were then.

Dv nu)r, Ayr:. 31.—Yesterday, an adjourned Meet-
ing of the Nobility, Clergy, ()entry, Merchants, &r.
who had become Subscribers to the Fund fur the Na-
tional Testimonial, was held at the Ito:al Exchange,
for the purpose of appointing a Committee, for the
appropriation and nunagement of the Fnad.
At three o'clock the Lord :Mayor took the Chsir.
dlr. M.Dox:x via., Secretary to the 3lceting, having
read the reolntion adopted at the former Jlreting,
The Archbishop of TUANI rose.—llis lirace, p.r.
to his speaking to the question, produced a re-
ceipt fur one hundred pounds, us his subscription. Ile
then said, that the object for which they bad met was,
the naming a committee for the management of that
Fond. He had prepared a list, comprising some per-
sons of rank ; and including also, others of ail classes,
religions, and businesses, amounting in all, to fifty
seven persons, and to avail any unpleasant feeling
that might arise by a supposed distinction or prefer-
-4 rice, he had arranged them alphabetically. Ilis Lord-
ship then read the names, and moved, that they should
stand as the Com:tatter.

This resolution %%is seconded by the Bishop of
DERRY.

Lord CARFIERRY thought, that the persons to be
named on the Conamittee, should be such as would be
most capable, by their exertions, of increasing the
Funds for the National Testiusonial. There was hut
one feeling of loyalty and attachment to the Sovereign
throughout Ireland, and it would be well to extend the
subscription throughout every county. His Lordship
cause prepared with some resolutions to the effect:—
That one person, (the High -Sheriff; for instance,)
should I.e selected from each of the thirty-two counties
in Ireland ; also, one from each of the Cities of Cork,
11.aterford, Limerick, and Londontlerrv, should also
be chosen, and thirteen, the re-inlander of fifty, (4
which number the Committee should cuusist,) to be
named in Dublin.

This suggestion led to a discussion, in which several
gentlemen took part, which ended in adjournment
until Saturday, at three o'clock.
The Meeting was must numerous and highly re-
spectable. hi the course of the debate, Slr. O'Connell
stated, that if it was determined that a Palace should
be the testimonial adopted, be would, in addition to
the twenty guineas already subscribed by him, con-
tribute one hundred guineas more, and fifty guineas a
year until the Palace n as finished.
Several other gentlemen intimated their intention
to give large subscriptions. if a Palace were 'o he
erected. The general feeling appeared decisively
favourable to a Palace.

Mr. SINGEII objected to a Committee to be com-
posed wholly 41 the Aristocracy; hr thou:Olt that it
should he composed of such persons as were likely
to pay the largest share of attention to the object.
and whom their fellow-citizens knew and confided in.

The MosintaineerSlWM-Pacitt, front Leith, moan
tared the heavy gale of wind which was so severely
felt on the east coast of lirttain on IVednetrlXy last.—
She arrived in London on Saturday last at .; r.ss. with-
out sustaining the smallest injury, and sailed again
on the following morning at right o'clock, full of pas-
sengers.—This Vessel has freptently performed the
voyage to and from Leith, within the week, aski the
last in the unprecedented short spare of six days, in-
an ling the time she stopped at Scarhoro' and Shield.,
in both wing and coming.
THE ADAM AND EVE AT ToTTENI.• til C4ouRT.--iI
is worthy of remark, that the point at o hid, the march
of the milito•funoral procession of her ilajttstv's re-
mains was turned by the populace on the 14.11 ult.
(the Asians and Eve, at Tottenham court) was the s of
to which Hovirth had referred another memorable in-
stance of military dis trder, its the Mord, of the Goads
to Fittekley. A graphic representation of the scene
of this slay three weeks there, would form no had com-
passion to that crleht a'e'l pri:11; hut the artist who
would undertake the t.isk should ronsid,r, from the
fate that hefel the former attempt, that the woek is not
very likely to be honoured with Royal patronage-
