TEE KING'S DEPARTURE FROM IRELAND.
[MOM THE DUBLIN MORNING POST OP WEDNESDAY LAST.]
His Majesty's squadron bad not left the Asylum
harbour at Dunleary by the hour of six o'clock yester-
day evening. For the entire day a number of boats,
chiefly filled with Ladies sidled around the yachts.—
His Majesty remained on deck for the greats part of
the day; be was dressed in a plain blue coat, and
trowsers to match ; and wore a-dark blue foraging cap,
trimmed with gold lace. He appeared to be in excel-
lent health and spirits, and occasionally amused him-
self with fishing with a hand line.
At the hour we are now writing, (12 o'clock Tues-
day night), it blows a storm, with rain; but the ves-
sels ride in perfect safety.
ALDERMAN DAILEY.
ENTERYIEW IHITWEEN LORD ?IkOAL AND MR. SECRE-
TARY GRANT.
[PROM THE SAME PAPER.]
In oar paper of yesterday. we alluded briefly to a
communication made to Lord Fingal, on the part of
the Irish Gdvernment, which regarded the conduct of
Alderman Dailey, in proposing an offensive party
toast at the late Civic Dinner, given in honour of his
Majesty, at the Mansion-house. The Earl of Fingal
baying waited on Mr. Grant, on Sunday afternoon, a
conversation took place, the substance of which we are
authorised to publish as follows :
Mr. Grant acquainted 1411rei Fingal that lie bad seen
Alderman Dailey—that the Alderman candidly and
unreservedly expressed his extreme regret, that, in a
moment of forgetfulness, he should have given a toast
inconlisteut with an understanding which had pre-
viotsly taken place, and calculated to disturb the har-
mony which at that time so happily prevailed. Mr.
Grog stated to Alderman Darley, that it was his wish
to communicate to Lord Fingal what Alderman Dar-
Icy had said, with a view that it might be generally
communicated by his Lordship—and Mr. Grant re-
ceived the fullest authority from Alderman Dailey for

that purpose. Mr. Grant further stated, that Alder-
man Darley had previously expressed his regret, in
the strongest terms, to the Lord Lieutenant and to
Lord Sidmouth, botch of whom concurred entirely in
those sentiments of dissatisfaction which the circum•
stance in question had so generally excited.
We copy from the Correapoadeat, the following fur-

slier particulars :
" From what we have been able to collect, we find
that Mr. Grant had written a letter to Lord Fingal; re-
questing an interview with bim at- the Castle on the sub-
ject. Lord Fingal accordinglywaited on the Right Hon.
Secretary, and his Lordship was then informed, that the
King had heard of that toast with sensations of great
dissatisfaction, and that Alderman Darley had been offi-
cially informed of his Majesty's displeasure at a circum-
stance, which tended to interrupt the unanimity that
had been so happily established amongst his Irish sub. I
jects."
Much fault had been found with the Months; Post,
for not taking a more active part in exposing the error of
Alderman Darley. This is altogether a matter of feel-
ing. We were fully aware that the subject must oc-

'espy the attention of Government, and we anticipated
a decision honorable to the Government, and Mien-
tory to the tolnitry. It appears tbat wirsestee wit dis.'
appointed. We own that we should regret the circum-
stance of Alderman Darley's dismissal, had such a
proceeding been adopted. Whatever other faults he
may have, (and who is without his share?) he stands
clear in his office. It was certain. however, that
the Government was bound to vindicate itself—
against its own servant. something should be done,
and 'the present result is the best that could have hap-
pened. Alderman Darley has erred—be expresses his
s wow, and condemns his own act ; this is a sufficient
atonement. Whatever he condemns in himself he
valiant bat condemn in others; and the more violent
partisans of the Orange system can never again regard
Alderman Darley as one of their secret abettors; this
is better than a hundred dismissals.

In addition to the statement from the Dublin paper
of the King's detention in Donleery harbour, we have
learnt that his Majesty's squadron remained wind-
bound by strong adverse gales to a late hour on Wed-
nesday evening. After that hour the sea was so heavy,
and it blew so herd from the south during the night,
that it is supposed 'his Majesty could not sail before
Thursday morning.
During the violent storm of thunder yesterday morn-
ing, a risk of corn, near Hocklitie, was set on ire by
lightning, and as it was very extensive, it continued
blazing fur a great length of time. Great danger was
apprehended to the neighbouring village, in conic-
Amense of the burning straw being wafted about by
the wind in every quarter. The engines were seat for
to Dunstable; and it is hoped thatthey strived is time.
Psamowrn, Seer. s.—Orders have been received
bare respecting his Majesty, who is expected to-mor-
row, merely to visit the Breakwater.
disnostrow, Sar■r. 7.—The Royal squadron is anx-
iously looked for, his Majesty having embarked on
beard his yacht, at Dunleary, seer Dublin, on Monday
evening last, and will either land here or at Portsmouth,
but we are inclined to think, at the latter place.
The Duke of York, we regret to state, left us on
Thursday morning,. for the Horse Guards. Lord Ers-
kine is hers; and, we are happy to aid, appears to en-
joy an excellent state of health.

The accounts regarding the harvest represent the state
of the weather lately as having been very unfavourable,
particularly to wheat, of which a quarter less than an
average crop can only be expected.
