The Earl of MULGRAVE visited the Dublin Theatre on Wednes-
day, and was most enthusiastically received by nearly the whole of the audience. There was abundance of noise and interruption, however, from the Orangemen, who kept up what they call the " Conservative fire," in order to insult the King's representative. Several of these riotous fellows were very properly conveyed to the Police Station- houses for the night. A rumour was prevalent in the course of Wed- nesday morning, that an Orange plot had been laid to mob his Excel- lency at time Theatre, and that some charges against individuals had been forwarded to the Castle. There were certainly loud notes of preparation for a "row" in the evening ; but it turned out to be a very insignificant exhibition of Orange turbulence and disloyalty. On Tues- day, the students at Dublin College received Lord and Lady MUL- GRAVE with groans and hooting; thus identifying themselves with the mob at the Theatre.
