V being understood that Ministers had. absolutely ed on Tuesday morning for fhe removal of her Majes- ; remains, though the exact route intended to be pur- ed was carefully concealed, early on the morning . of lit day a countless multitude assembled at Hammer- ( ith. and from thenc to Hyde- Park- corner, : Picca- ly. and the road as far as Kensington, was lined with personS on foot, in carriages, and on horseback, notwith- standing that the rain fell in torrents. - The gates of brandenburgh house were guarded by bodies of police- officers, who repelled every endeavour to obtain an entrance. At six o'clock, several mourning coaches Id six arrived, and a squadron of the horse guards lines) commanded by Captain Bouverie, entered, r. Bailey, of Monnt street, Grosvenor- square, being pointed to conduct the, funeral procession, entered the e- room where the body, lay at .7 gave orders for its " removal.

Wood, her y's Chaplain, Lieutenants Flinn and Hownam, Sir George Nailer as Clarenceux, King at Arms, th several persons from the Lord Chamberlain's Bee were also in attendanee. On tbe orders being to remove the body, Dr. Lushington spoke to fhe , George Nayler ani Mr. Bailey,- You know what has ly taken place upon the subject of her Majesty's interment; bu know what has bean the express wish of her Majesty's executors upon the necessity of delay, for the purpose of making preparations for so long a journey ; and also upon the disgraceful conduct that has been persisted in by his Majesty's Government n such direct opposition to the known will of her late Majesty), i forcing into the funeral procession of . a great body of soldiers, t enter my solemn protest against the removal of her Majesty's dy, in right of the legal power which is invested in me by her Majesty, as executor. Proper arrangements for the funeral, I the long journey, and voyage by sea, have not been made ; ere has not been time for it; and I command that the body be not _ removed till the arrangements, suitable to the rank and dignity f the deceased, are made. Mr. Bailey.— 1 have orders from Government to remove the dy which is now in tbe custody of the Lord Chamberlain : I ust do my duty. The body must be removed. Dr. Lushinglom— Touch the body at your peril: you have no power to act contrary fo the will of her Majesty's executors, and ey do their duty by protesting against such an usurpation. Mr. Bailey.— You do not mean to use violence, and prevent by force the removal oi the body, I trust, Dr. Lushington? Dr. Lushington. '. I shall use no violence myself. Mr. Bailey.- Nor recognize it in others ? Dr. Lushington.— I shall neither assist in, or recommend vio- lence, nor shall I join the procession in my official character of [ executor, but merely go as a private individual, to shew my respect | for her Majesty. Mr. Bailey.' Very well, Sir, I shall discharge my duty firmly, and, I trust, properly -. — —- .. Mr. Wilde here presented Mr. bailey with a written protest against the removal of her Majesty's body. He then addressed Mr. Bailey in very Warm language, de- declaring- the conduct pursued by his Majesty's Ministers to be most disgraceful, as well as illegal, he declared that the body was taken by force against His will of the executors, and called upon Mr. Bailey to give him some I information ns to where he intended to take the proces- sion. by what route, and where was its destination ? Mr. Bailey complained that every impediment was thrown in the way of the persons whose duty it was to attend to the removal of the body. He then took out of his pocket H paper, and read from it the route of the procession. " The funeral cavalcade to pass from the gate of Brandenburgh- house, through Hammersmith to turn round by Kensington Gravel Pits near the Church, into the Uxbridge- road, to Bays- water, from thence to Tyburn Turnpike, down the Edgware- road, along the New- road to Islington, down the City- road, along old- street, Mile- end, to Romford, & c. A squadron of the Ox- ford Blues, from Brandenburgh- house to Romford, to attend the procession; a squadron of the 4th Light Dragoons, from Romford 10 Chelmsford; another squadron of the same regiment, from | Chelmsford to Colchester; another escort from Colchester to Harwich, where u guard of honour is in waiting." . Alie should the body be taken, except by force ; and when the | body stopped at the first stage, he should be there to ex- ercise his legal right. as Executor, which was superior to any usurped power then exercised bv the officers em- ployed by his Majesty's Ministers, to have the body re- moved according to his own will, and that of her late Majesty, without squadrons of soldiers. Mr. Bailev said that his orders were imperative, and nothing should prevent him from doing his duty. He would take upon himself the peril of removing the body.

The awful cavalcade proceeded at a slow rate with great regularity; the torrents of rain that fell did not of road were crowded with elegantly dressed females, who appeared to be deeply affected as the mournful procession passed them. The cavalcade proceeded with the utmost regularity until its arrival at Kensington church, at half- past nine o'clock., , The populace ob- serving the procession about to move down Church- street towards tbe gravel pits, by. which the entire city would have been avoided, instantly Resolved upon pre- venting its proceeding on that road. A number of carts and waggons that were returing into the country were seized by the populace and drawn across the street, to prevent the procession from going byway of the New Road, and a universal cry of, through the City!— through' the City !" was raised. Some loads of dung were thrown in the street; some of the pavement was torn up, and every impediment placed in the way of the | procession, which by this time had arrived and was I forced to stop. Several severe conflicts took place ! between the police and the populace; the former attempting to remove the waggons, & c. which the latter I endeavoured to prevent, locking themselves together, horse by horse and foot by foot. At length an officer of the guards who had been dispatched to Lord Liverpool for orders, returned, and the procession was ordered to proceed towards Hyde- Park Corner. This announce- ment was succeeded by a deafeaning shout from the populace. The procession halted at Hyde- Park- corner I about one o'clock; here the crowd was so great, and the danger so alarming, that Sir Robert Baker,, the. Police Magistrate, appeared desirous Of allowing the: procession to proceed in the direction desired by the people. A detatchment of horse- guards, however, ap- pearing at this moment, headed the procession with an intent of turning it into Park- lane; the populace imme- j diately commenced an attack with stones, and the soldiers received orders to charge. A number of people were wounded and trodden down. In the charge two of the soldiers had their swords broken. The processson was turned into Park- lane towards the Edg- ware- road. At Cumberland Gate, it was with great difficulty the procession moved on.— Stones were thrown at the Cavalry. One young man threw a large stone at one of the horse- guards, and wounded him, upon which the soldier fired at the young man, and he was killed on the spot. A volley of stones was poured upon the troops at the same time, and the troops returned the fire from their pistols. Vast bodies of the people moved onwards to block up thd other passages. By this time the third regiment of guards was called out to assist the cavalry, and were drawn up in solid square at the end of Francis street, facing, Tottenham- court- road, in order to prevent the populace from turning the procession down that The procession now moved onwards till it reached the top of Drury lane; and here the main passage down Holborn being completely blocked up, it was compelled to take the direction towards the Strand* To prevent turning out of Drury lane into Great Queen- street, the people blocked up the avenue ol Queen- street, and forced the procession. to the Strand. The Oxford Blues, who did not participate in the outrage, were favourites with the people, from the mildness of, their conduct. Un- successful efforts were made to pass through High Holborn, and the procession went towards Temple- bar, on passing which, the Lord Mayor headed the procession in his carriage. The shops were shut up and the window s crowded. The route was along Fleet- street and Ludgate- hill, round St. Paul's church- yard, through Cheapside, past the Exchange, into Leadenhall- street, and from thence to Whitechapel church. The popu- lace in the streets at the windows and on the roofs re- mained uncovered while the Royal remains passed. Many of the trades who had erst presented addresses to her Majesty, joined the procession with flags, bearing inscriptions. Among these were the sailors. At the boundary of the city, in Whitechapel, the Lord Mayor and Mr. Sheriff Waithman left the procession ; it was then five o'clock and the fatigue and exhaustion of both man and horse was such as to make it impossible to go much further that night. The procession moved to Mile end and thence to Bow: The cavalcade moved on at a rapid pace towards 1 Iford, and entered Romford at a quarter to eight. The body was conveyed the same ui^ lit to Chelmsford, to be joined in the morning by such as had, through fatigue, remained all night at Romford. Harwich, Friday Morning, Ten o'Clock. The conductors of the Funeral have been on shore this morning, and obtained from the tradesmen a variety of necessaries for the voyage. Dispatches are expected from the Home Office before the squadron sails. Several persons have been admitted to fake a view of the State Cabin, where the corpse lies in state. A communication has taken place between Mr. Bailey and his Majesty's Government, respecting the rout which the funeral procession is to pass between Stade and Brunswick.

On Wednesday afternoon an inquest wns held at tie New Inn, in tbe Edgeware- road, to inquire concening the- death of Richard Honey, who was shot in ihe affray between the people and the military, during the funeral procession on Tuesday. The body was lying at the General Townshend public- house, j in Oxford- street, and notice was posted in the window, inviting nil persons who knew any thing of the transaction to come forw ard and give evidence. Mr. T. Gould, of the Ordnance Department, deposed, that on Tuesday, about half- past 12 o'clock, be.. w « s in Oxford- street, between Quebec and cumberlanD streets, crowd who w ere throwing at the soldiers, and irritating them in various ways, and the latter were firing at the people. He thinks about twenty or thirty shots were fired. He does not know how the affray commenced. The. moment after the firing began be saw the deceased lying on his back, ahout two yards from where he stood. Does not know by whom the shot was fired. Witness and others took up the deceased and car- ried him to Mr. Lightfoot's, he surgeon's, where he breathed about four times, and then expired. Mr. J. Titterton, a surgeon, residing in Spafields, deposed, I that the death of the deceased was caused by a gun- shot wound. The shot passed through ihe cavity of the heart, Wilness did' not see the deceased shot, but he was present at the affray. , When the. hearse came out at Cumberland- gate the soldiers surrounded it, add turned the horses heads towards Bayswater. the populace at the same Instant seized the reins of the horses, and endeavoured to turn them down Oxford- street. At the same time the populace began to throw bricks and stones at the soldiers. They armed themselves with bricks from a part of . the Park wall, which they pulled down. The Soldiers were pelted before they come out of the Park, and not a shot was fired until the pelting commenced. E. Bailey, an ironmonger, deposed, that he was in the Park on Tuesday, and saw the people and the soldiers there with tlie procession: Just before they arrived at Cumberland- gate, Be heard one Of the sergeants desire two of the privates of the Guards to walk forwards to the gate, but instead of walking they galloped, and knocked two men down. At this a cry was raised against the soldiers, and stones began to fly about. Lady A. Hamilton put her head out of the carriage, and asked what was the matter' Previous to the men being knocked down not a stone bad been thrown. The two soldiers, brandished their swords as they advanced. Witness begged to add, that he saw no disposition, on the part of the people, to tumult or riot at that time. They seemed to him not to be actuated by any political feeling. S. Barclay, of High Holborn, shoemaker, deposed, thai he came with the profession all the way from Hammersmith. He saw the stoppage, but saw no riot. He did not hear the Riot Act read there. He saw no disposition to riot on the part of the people, except when they were obstructed. John Tuckett, residing at 15, George- street, Grosvenor square, stated, that he was with the procession when it got to Hyde Park- corner; ns Park- lane was blocked up, the carriages were permitted to go on some distance, and then they were followed ; the hearse was turned back, and marched into Hyde Park, whilst many carriages, containing the mourners, were shut out, and were obliged to make a passage in the best manner they could through different by- streets. At Grosvenor- gate the military were attacked with stones, cn which they brandshed their swords, and rode towards Cumberland gate like lightning. Witness went in the same direction, and the first thing that attracted his attention was a loud shouting, accompanied by a strange kind of noise. The soldiers having drawn up against Tyburn Turnpike, witness climbed on the top of the Park wall, thinking he should be safe there, and also have a full view of the funeral procession. A strong pelting - was kept up from the corner of Park- lane. length induced soldiers ' o fire, and twenty or thirty- shots were discharged indiscriminately Deponent observed one of the officers, a young, slight made man, riding backwards and forwards, who suddenly stopped, drew a pistol from his holster, which he flourished very grace- fully, and then fired behind him. Witness saw the pistol le- velled, and beheld the flash, and the next second he saw the deceased ( who stood in the direction to which the pistol was levelled) fall to the ground. No other pistol was fired for some moments afterwards, so that he was firmly of opinion that the deceased had been shot by this officer. He saw tbe deceased carried off the ground, and he was particularly struck w ith the appearance of the officer, who bore a strong resem- blance to a young gentleman named White, the son of a brewer at exeter, with whom - witness was acquainted, and he had no doubt that he should be able to identify him again if he saw him. The officer marched along by the kirb- stone, striking his sword against the iron railings; but whether he injured any one be could not say. As he passed witness, he made a blow at him with his sabre, which knocked off his hat, and cut it through and when be ( witness) tried to get down to secure his hat, another soldier seized the collar of his frock coat, and tore a portion of it off. Witness paid particular attention to all that occurred, but be heard no Riot Act read, nor'. did he see any Magistrate - on- the- spot. There was no riot, nor: the slightest dispotition to it, where the deceased was standing This witness underwent a most rigid cross- examination ; but differed in nothing from his original statement. One of the Jury asked the witness which he thought first com- menced tbe affray, the populace or the military ? Mr. Sheriff Waithman— I object to that question; it is entirely out of order. You would not surely ask a witness what he thinks upon a subject? The man has given his evidence very consistently. The Coroner said it would have been better if witness had been allowed to give bis own version of the affair. To be questioned by so many people at once puzzled him This led to a discussion between the Coroner and the Sheriff, and much asperity was displayed on both sides. Alderman Waithman charged the Coroner and his clerk with unnecessary delay in taking the minutes; the latter denied the charge, and said that the delay, if any, was caused by tbe strange mode of examination adopted by Mr. Waithman; who, said in reply, that he could have taken the depositions in less than half the time occupied by the Coroner and his assistant. In this opinion the majority of the Jury concurred. A long and irregular conversation then ensued, in the course of which Mr. Alderman Waithman stated, that as this inquest was not expected to close for several sights, it would be de- chalk out, to the best of his knowledge, the respective places where the Officer stood when he fired, and the deceased when be was shot, previous to the distance being measured, and a plan of the spot drawn up for the satisfaction of the Jury. The worthy Alderman also stated that the witness should be confronted with all the Officers and men of the Life Guards who were on duty that day, in order to identify the person that so wantonly shot the deceased, and that they should be drawn in line, dressed in their Uniform, for ihe occasion. He was determined, notwith. standing all the obstacles thrown in his way, that justice should he done to the unfortunate object of this wanton and unprovoked outrage 1 h spectators in the room testified their approbation by a loud clapping of hands, and the windows being opened, the feel- ing communicated to those outside, who gave similar manifesta- tions of applause. Francis M'Gowran saw the hearse come from Cumberland Gate into Oxford- street, and the people then seized tbe heads of ihe horses drawing it, and turned them towards the Holborn direction, upon which the soldiers began lo cut at them. The people then hooted and threw stones, and the soldiers formed into a body near Tyburn Turnpike and fired. Tbe firing con- tinued for about five minutes. He saw one of the Guards, be believed an Officer, ride past, turning his hand round he fired his pistol at the people. At the same time he saw tbe deceased fall. By Sheriff Waithman - He did not hear the Riot Act read ; he saw no Magistrate, nor did he hear any admonition given to the people to disperse. He thinks he should know the person who fired if he saw him. He heard no pistol fired for some minutes after. The Life Guards were the persons who fired. The Oxford Blues did not fire; they were much cheered by the people. He saw one man rode down by a Life Guardsman ; it appeared to him to be done wantonly. B. Cronoy was with the procession at Hyde Park Corner, and when the conflict took place 11 flat spot, about ihe direction which the corpse was to take, Sir R. Baker wished the proces- sion to proceed on through Piccadilly, as the people wished. When they arrived at Cumberland Gate he saw an Officer ride along and pull out a pistol and fire at the crowd. He saw de- ceased fall. There had been no stones thrown before the pistol was fired. Witness was quite positive of this. Two other witnesses were called, and at a late hour Mr. Sheriff Waithman intimated that a great number more persons w ere waiting to give evidence ; upon which the inquest was ad journed to Friday. SECOND DAY. The coroner's jury re- assembled at a quarter past two o'clock. friday afterroon, at the New inn, edgeware- road. , Mr. Sheriff Waithman attended as on the first day, on behalf of the friends of deceased.; and Mr. Hanson attended professionally on the part of Col. Cavendish and the troops in general. Nine witnesses were examined, whose testimony was similar in almost every respect to what had been given ofi the first day, viz. that the Life Guards had, without sufficient provocation, sabred and fired on the people at Cumberland- gate; that the riot- act had not been read; and that there had been no pelting of the military from the place Were the deceased stood. All these witnesses but one ( female) swore that tbey would know the young officer who shot the deceased. One witness in par- ticular, Wm. Cleaver, a grocer, said he went up to the officer, whose person he knew perfectly well, some time after tlie affray, and said to him, *' You're a pretty fellow to shoot a maa, are you not?" the officer looked at him, and said, " I wish you were shot too.'' Witnessed observed, " I shall know your face again, you are so d— d ugly." The female witness ( Elizabeth Barker), stated that she was standing close behind the young man who was shot, and all he said, was, putting his umbrella between his legs, and clapping his hands, " The city, the city, the city;'? that was all the observation he made one way or the other, Mr. Sheriff Waiihman— Persons are constantly sending me in their names; and I believe 100 or 150 witnesses can, if ne- cessary, be brought forward. After some delny, u motion to the following effect was drawn INQUEST Oh the Body of George Francis, A coroner's inquest was ' on Friday held; to incite into the cause of the death of George Francis, who was killed near Tyburn- gate, on Tuesday. Mr. Higgs acted as coroner, in the absence of Mr. Gill. The jury repaired to St. George's Hospi- tal, to view the body. The deceased was a stout muscular man, apparently about 40 years of age; the ball bad entered below the right clavicle. Tbe jury then went to the Goat pub- lic- house, Arabella- row, Plmlico, where they were furnished with a spaoious room. Eight witnesses were called, whose testimeny proved very Similar to what hud been given in the inquest upon Honey.— From their evidence it appeared that the deceased was shot by a private of the Life Guards, and that the ball passed through his lungs; but none of tbe witnesses said they Could swear positively to tbe soldier's person. It being nearly 10 o'clock, ' the Coroner adjourned the Inquest until Monday. It was intimated that 12 more witnesses were to be examined for the Prosecution, and that many would be produced on the part of the Military.

While pursuing his employ, on the morning of Tuesday last, he had to descend by a ladder from the roof of a bouse in Gandy's- street, when his f slipped, and he was precipi- tated to the bottom. Immediate assistance wus procured, and he was removed to the Hospital; but, melancholy to relate, in the course of a few hours, he breathed his last. Being thus sud- denly snu ched from the bosom of a family who were entirely d -| ien lent on him for support, ihey are plunged in tbe deepest misery, und have no resource from which they can anticipate relief, but an appeal to those whose hearts are ever open to ameliorate the sufferings of their fellow- creatures. It is a peculiar saiisfaction to state, that the unfortunate man, whoso death has occasioned this uddress, was remarkable for his in- dustrious habits and general good conduct; a consideration thai must naturally implant in the breasts of his disconsolate wife iuid helpless offspring the keenest aud most lasting sensations of sorrow at his loss.

His Majesty, we understand, enjoys perfect health, and feels much gratified by the enthusiastic reception he experienced yes- terday ( Sin- day 12ih inst.) from all classes of his Irish subjects. It was the impulse of the natural feeling, bursting forth in all the warmth of national character, anil our gracious Sovereign ap- preciated it more than any studied expression of formal loyalty. W e are informed that bis Majesty willeot lo^ g deny his faith- ful peopje tbe opportunity of publicly testifying their ardent attachment to his sacred person.— Dublin Journal. It appears that the King of France is determined to subject himself to the fatiguing ceremonial of a Coronation. The Journal des Debats states that Coronation carriages have al- endy been put in hand, and are even in a state of forwardness. I French Papers to tbe 15th inst. have arrived. The intelli- gent e from Vienna, Odessa, and Constantinople continues to, beara warlike character, but presents nothing new nor decisive. A private letter from Paris affirms, that tbe Tripoli squadion, which was going to the assistance of the Turks, had been sur- prised and captured by tbe Greeks. A Subscription is open for tbe widows and families of the men killed by the military, on Tuesday. Monday, at half- past twelve o'clock, a special Court of Com- mon Council was held, for the purpose of testifying tbe deep ami mornful feelings of the Court upon the sudden death of her Majesty Queen Caroline. The Court bad been summoned for Tuesday, but in consequence of the expressed determination of Government id remove ihe remains of ber Majesty sooner than had been anticipated, a counter- summons was issued, calling a Court for Monday. The Court was numerously attended, and the members wtere mostly in deep mourning. Sheriff Waithman opened tbe business of the day, by taking a review of her late Majesty's life, from her first arrival in this country until her death. He concluded by moving & resolution expressing an euloginm on ber character, lamenting theperseV eulions which had been heaped upon her since her first arrival in this country, and expressing admiration of tbe manner in Wli'ieh she bad borne and, contended against them. It concluded by expressing the deep » orrow of the Court at the sudden dea A of i her Majesty, , and. tlip peculiar and sorrowful circumstance ai-' tendingit. & Rumours ytm afloat yesterday morning, that the Blue's re- fused to relieve the Horse Guards, and that a serious misunder- atanding prevailed upon the subject.

FROM THE IRISH PAPERS OF THE 13th; Sir Benjamin Bloomfield received, by the Chichester, de- j spatches, which induced him to believe , Mujesty, ora I messenger with further despatches:, Howth, in the 1 steam- packet, by the eveniiig tide, ,| n3 hie. accordingly was T anxiously on the look- out, nearly the whole day. The congre- | gation which was assembled at the Church of Howth got some . intimation of this circumstance, and concluding' that some de- cisive news relative to his Majesty, would arrive, by the steanv- | packet, crowded down) after divine service, to tie PMr-* head. About a quarter before three o'clock, some of the b. e. st glasses at the Pier- head described a steam- vessel", anil, on the" circumstances being announced to the assembled throng^ a, strong, sensation was excited. In about twenty minutes a a . second stea'm- packet, holding the same, course,, was and above the horizon some large three- masted vessel? discovered making for the shops. There was now ' a doubt but that his Majesty, or some account from him, l arrive * W a short' time, " and all the Sunday visitors to thc pier of Howth conse- quently remained to ascertain the issue. At n quarter- past four o'clock, the steam- packet which first hove in sight closed in with Ireland's Eye, having a large flag at her peak. In a few minutes afterwards, the royal travelling carriage, with four horses, which had taken Sir Benjamin Bloomfield down the evening before, was seen coming at a quick pace to the Pier- head ; and, exactly at half- past four o'clock, the Lightning steam packet, Capt. Skinner, ran alongside, uad came to, at the projection on the West point of the Pier. There was now a breathless suspense of a couple of minutes, the hearts of the spectators beating high, when some persons ip the crowd recog- nized his Majesty on " board; when they enthusiastically exclaimed, " The King! God save, God bless the King!" and these cheers and exclamations were loudly and heartily ire- echoed by every person present, many of whom were nobility, and very elegantly dressed females. His Majesty immediately stood forward, about midships, next the pier: he was dressed in a close long blue coat, blue trowsers, and half boots, black silk handkerchief round his neck, a seal- skin travelling cap, with a broad gold band, and white silk gloves. The moment his Majesty heard the cheers he took off his cap, and waving it over his head several times, re- turned the cheers. ' A small ladder, coveted with carpeting, was now placed at the vessel's side, against the pier, tp facilitate his Majesty's landing, as the tide having ebbed, the paiket was much, lower than the landing place. , His Majesty was accompanied by the Marquis of Londonderry, Marquis of Thomand, Lord Mount- charles,,. Lord F. Conyngham, and H. Freeling, Esq. Under- Se- eretary fo the Post- Ofnce. When " Hs Majesty readied . the top of the ladder, which he did with easy agility, the pressure became so extremely great that his Majesty was Somewhat incommoded but, however this Was to be lamented, it was not possible to be avoided, as almost every person present stood upon the small tongue of land which projects from the pier, and on which no convenient passage could have been opened to his Majesty in its then crowded state, without the risk of forcing persons at either side into the water. Our gracious Sovereign bore the inconve- nience with the most marked good humour, as \ ve trust he per- ceived thecauseof. it. Sir B. Bloomfield made his way to tile carriage, in order to get the door open for liis Majesty's reception, while the cheers from all who had thus, surrounded the King rent the air. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs, the gentle- men their hats, while his Majesty frequently tdftlf off his hat, and cheered in turn. ; On perceiving Mr. Bowes Daley, and several gentlemen known to'' him, his Majesty shook them heartily by" the hand; and, in the excess of his benevolence and gracionshess, he also shook hands with numbers of the" persons present, wholly strangers to him. His Majesty, having entered.' the carriage, turned round, and, extending both his hands, exclaimed, in the most emphatic manner—" I thank you from my heart; God bless you all! God bless you all!" « uid then took his seat. On getting Into the, carriage, his Majesty threw himself back for a lew seconds; but, on a repetition of the cheers, takinig off his cap, he bowed in the most gracious manner to' ihe ladies' and gentle- men who continued waving their handkerchiefs and hats along - the Pier. Sir B. Bloomfield now stept into the carriage, and, on the door being closed, one- of the wheel horses, which a postilion was riding, owing to the pressure and cheering, became restive,, when one of the gentlemen in the crowd, regardless of all per- sonal danger, immediately seized the horse . by the head, and thus holding him, ran forty or fifty yards, the carriage proceeding at a quick pace, until he became manageable. Mr, prendergast, of the Turf Club, Sir John Burke, and a who. happened to be mounted, galloped along with liis Majesty's carriage, while hundreds of horsemen joined the cavalcade as it advanced. We perceived on the Pier the Earl of Howth, the Solicitor- General, the Dean of St. Patrick's, and many other highly respectable characters, who Were prevented by the pressure from approaching his Majesty's person, bnt who, at. the same time, we need scarcely add, joined most heartily in the loud con- gratulations with which- his Majesty was received on his landing. The cavalcade proceeded onward towards the city,. until it reached the Circular Road,, wheg it turned off tp tije Phoenix Park. Lord Mount Charles,. sat ort the dickey: on the way there was a constant accession of horsemen, uncovered. Bit Majesty was cheered as the carriage' On reaching the entrance to the demesne iii the Park, the gentlemen who accompanied his Majesty halted outside the gale, conceiving that their ptoceedirig further might Be an intrusion. His Majesty perceiving this deifeacy, waved his hand, and said- " Come on, my friends." They instantly obeyed. His Majesty alighted from his carriage at the doOr,' of> the Lodge: several gentlemen also alighted.- His Majesty turned round before he. entered, and addressed , all who were present in nearly the follow- ing words: My Lords and Gentlemen, and my good Yeomanry I. cannot express to yon the gratification I feel at the warm aud kind reception I have met with oil, fhi's^ day. of^ tny landing among I my Irish subjects. I, am obliged, to you all, ,1 am particularly 1 obliged by your escorting me fo'my very door. -'' I " I may not be able to express my feelings as I wish: I have | travelled far: I have " made a long seit'voyage: beside- which, j particular circumstances have occurred,; known to you all, of j which it is better at present, not to speek. Upon those subjects I I leave it to delicate and' generous hearts to appreciate my j feelings. . I " This is the happiest day of my iffe.. I have long wished to I visit you; my heart has always been Irish: from. the day it first I beat I have loved Ireland. This day has- ssliewn me that I am f beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank,, station honours, are j nothing;: but, to feel that I lire in the h farts of my Irish subjects- H is, tome, the most exalted happiness. " I must now once more thank you for your kindness, and bid you farewell. Go and do by me as I shail do by you- drink my health in a bumper: I shall drink all your's in a bumper of good Irish whiskey." His Majesty delivered the above speech With admirable grace, ! and with ardent emotions of strong feeling, The last few words f were jocularly addressed to some of the lower class, who thronged round his Majesty with looks and expressions of the strongest loyalty and affection. 1 His Majesty then shook hands, most'Cordially, with every | person within his reach, without distinction of rank or appear- ance, and retired. During his short address he appeared much affected; and, when he mentioned his early love for Ireland, he spoke with great emphasis, and in . an- impressive and animated manner. He was frequently applauded. From the moment of | his landing to his arrival at the lodge, neither soldier nor police- man appeared, nor official person of any description; but this is j not to be wondered at, as his Majesty was known to desire to be ' landed privately. There were in all about one hundred persons I on the lawn when his Majesty addressed them. ANTIQUE PlAtE. k /• If I'H. i ( II I m , mtum clock* near MR.

The tale of horror which the journals have given fo the public,. of the dreadful murders committed on the day of the removal of the body of th « late Queen, must have roused the anger aud excited the detestation of every good, of every wise, of every feeling man in the country. To reduce the People of Etigland to the state of the wretches of the Continent is part of a system upheld by some monster? among us— monsters who delight in" destroying our liberties, and reducing us fo a condition whlch'our ancestors would hare lield in ab- horrence, but which too many of their degenerate sons contemplate without a sigh. If a soldier, fifty years ago, had ventured to l^ ill a citizen, the whole country would have been in commotion until the bloody deed had been washed away in the blood of the murderer: if he had ventured to pretend to kill his fellow- subjects, by authority, all would have felt that such conduct'was despotism in its worst shape, and that nothing can justify an action which mocis the laws and leaves the lives of Britons at the mercy of the vengeance of armed men, accoutred and fed by the People. There are two parties in this nation who injure the Constitution, diminish the zeal of its friends, and assist in the assaults of its enemies: their powers are not equal, though! their malice is fairly matched. The Pitt party, under the pretence of preserving Jhe - Constitution, hare de- ssroyed its bulwarks, broken down Its ramparts, and defiled its sanctuary; whilst the Republicans, in words only, have testified a wish to undermine it, and con- sign its venerable walls to the dust. The former, under the mask of friendship, have proved themselves the worst of foes: the latter, avowing open hostility, have by circumstances been prevented frnin lending a helping hand in the dilapidation of the sacred pile. Both, as barbarous as Turks, have considered it as an object of demolition; and, whilst the leaders of the one have been laughing at its beauties and triumphing over its defects, the myrmidons of the other have secretly sapped its foundations with the song of admiration on their tongues. The Republicans are open and avowed enemies, as yet without power: the Pitt- partizans are snake- like hypocrites, which have stuDg the hand that gave them protection. Whilst these have thus been engaged, the Whigs, who may be considered as middle- men, have, without effect, oppos; d the wicked but un- derhand misconduct of the one, and the mischievous designs of the other: they have yielded disgracefully— they have been afraid to mount the breach; but, had they acted with wisdom and courage, they might have crushed the daring designs of Republicanism and the atrocious acts of the Tories. They have beholden, almost with indifference, thousands and tens of thou- sands of their countrymen enlisting under the standards of the Radicals, because they were hopeless of assistance from those whose principles should have taught them to rear the banner of constitutional freedom in the holy cause of justice: their timidity eucouraged the deser- tion; and, if they do not rouse themselves from their apathy before it is too late, a contest will take place between the Bashaws of despotism and the wild theorists of Radical Reform! In such a conflict the despots will soon lose their power; they are hated and detested by every man who feels and thinks like a Briton, and their only reliance is founded on taxation and the sword. The state of the country will soon diminish their re- sources and prostrate . their strength; and the sword, always an hireling, will choose the best paymasters. Tyranny at length expires under ifs own weapons; and they who hkve ruled by the sword will fall by the sword. Much as the Ministers merit the severest censure, thev, rin general," ftre less criminal than mistaken in their views of society: they treat mankind as mankind were treated two hundred years ago, not considering that the maxims which might have been just in the guidance and government of an ignorant multitude, may become foolish, absurd and impolitic, when applied to a more enlightened race. They talk of the mob and the rabble, I as if the mob and the rabble never read or thought; they deem them mere animal machines, instead of thinking. beings; and they endeavour to drive them with whips and scourges, When they can be impelled, without refractoriness, by wisdom and reason alone. No fact is more evident than that our Ministers are themselves " more ignorant than the age— men of narrow " minds and narrow notions, fond of all the fopperies and follies of government, pursuing frivolity at the risk of peace, and obtaining petty triumphs at theexpenee of the People's esteem. Counselled by such men, ( he Sove- reign sinks in the public estimation; they degrade him, by representing his Majesty as congratulating the de- stroyers of his: subjects as the supporters of his throne; they clothe his sceptre in harshness, and not in mercy; they give to power a two- edged sword; and, instead of greeting it with mercy, rejoice when it is foully stained with human blood, front their opponents in political contention. The true English- man— the real lover of liberty and of the Constitution— the friend of humanity, sighs for the. change of a system that threatens to plunge ipto convulsions this mighty empire. The Whigs hate iip time to lose. Between { lie Tories and Republicans war has com- menced. The Whigs, by assembling the patriots, may yet triumph over the efforts of wild faction and ruthless power— they may as yet snatch their King from danger, and their country from difficulty— t& ey may as yet hush the gtoOm! But, if they suffer tlje present moment to pass away unregarded, like the servant of Friar Bacon, they may wake from their trance in horror, to hear the exclamation— the time is past A numerous and respectable meeting of the Devon County Club took place at Bampfylde- house on Wed- I nesday last. After the usual business had been trans- | acted, and several new members elected, a piece of I plate, agreeably to a resolution adopted at the last meet- j ing, was presented to the Rev, Mr. Jones. After the [ conclusion of the whole, the members retired to the Hotel, where a sumptuous dinner was served up in Mr. Congdon's usual style of elegance ami Comfort, The distresses of poor lying- in Women and fheir in- I fants, and fheir various sufferings of other descriptions I of the lower orders of society, have for many years past j annually sustained, in this city and neighbourhood, no inconsiderable solace and relief at this season. We refer to the pecuniary assistance that has been derived from the benevolent exertions and laudable Ingenuity of | the ladies, who continue the Ladies' depository for Fancy Works, Which are on sale only two days in the | year, always at the Summer Assize. The exhibition last week has been peculiarly tasteful and elegant; and took place at the temporary structure close adjoining, to the New Rooms. With genuine pleasure we can state that last Tuesday and Wednesday the produce of these I amiable labors was £ 70, exceeding considerably the | amount on any former occasion. Long may this unos- tentatious aud unpretending plan of charity and mercy be countenanced by the public; and contribute to the I heart- felt enjoyment of its fair promoters, as well as to the relief of suffering humanity. Oft Thursday morning, about half- past two o'< fhe extensive factory of Messrs. T Fox and Sons, * Wellington, was destroyed by fire. lit was discovered first by a person inhabiting the lodge, at ( lie entrance ofthe premises. It soon found vent at the windows, most of th'e interior being enveloped in flames. An alarm was instantly given to the family, . vhose dwelling- house is near the spot. The whole of the factory was soon wrapt in flames; and the exertions o'f the engines from Wellington, and another, which is kept, on tho premises, were entirely directed to the preservation of the dwelling- house, and another building adjoining it — all attempts to arrest the progress of the fire in ( he place where it originated being useless. The vicinity of the river allowed a copious supply of water fo the engines, which ware replenished and worked with the greatest alacrity by the populace, whom the alarm of the conflagration had " brought to the spot; and the wind providentially veering round to a favourable point, the dwelling house, were saved. Nearly all the ma- chinery is destroyed, together with a large quantity of wood." The fire is supposed to have Originated in tbe natural htiating of the wool.

Friday, at the Castle of Exeter, Henry Rippin, of Burrington, iii this county, an insolvent debtor,, was committed for two years, for fraudulent conduct to his landlord, and putting him to unnecessary ex pence for the recovery of arrears of rent. We are informed, that several hours after the trial, The King v. Cox, one of the jurymen declared that he understood that the verdict which he had agreed to was, that the young man was guilty of Cruelty in killing his horse; he also declared that several other jurymen were of the same opinion.

To those who know the uniform spirit of haired, malice, and uncharitableness, with which the columns of the Western Luminary teem, wo need not offer a single extract to support the sentiments wo advance, of the being who pours forth calumny iu such torrents on munkind— " ' Tis slander, Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue Outvenom's all the worms of Nile; whose breath Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie All corners of the world. Kings, Queens, and States, Maids, Matrons, nay, the secrets of the Grave, This viperous slander enters." To those of our readers who may not have had an opportunity of perusing the last number of the Luminary, the following quotation may be acceptable, and will sufficiently elucidate tha spirit of the whole:— " Our miserable Queen Caroline is no more!— 11 was our intention to have announced the awful event without any comment whatever ; con- tent to let her mortal remains descend to the grave in peace— Peace.- be lo her soul!— It is not with her that we have now to do; but with certain Journal, who, not content to speak of her decease with truth and decorum, would • Puff her last breath, to sink the rising scale! of more correct opinion, and national unanimity." Even while the mortal remains of that illustrious Lady, who has fallen a victim to the malice of her inveterate foes—( among the bitterest and most virulent of whom may be ranked this notorious character)— are conveying to the silent tomb, ho deluges the earth with insinuations that the blackest heart alons could dictate, or the language of Diabolus pourtray. After he says, in his hypocrisy, " Peace be to her soul," he rakes up every idea his foul imagination can devise, of degradation on her name; end he— even he whose soul could nsver have fele the influence of religion— mixes with his veuom the sacred name " f that Being whom he affects to honor, and sets at defiance the precepts oi our wreai learnt to follow. What can the world think of that boasts that the greatest advantage he ever derived arose out of his defamation of a royal sufferer— happily, now beyond his reach f Seeing that the path of falsehood has led him to an elysiurn, when compared with his formar state, and that a tale of woe has awakened the sympathy of some who enlisted under the banners of persecution, and upheld him in his career of infamy, he impudently pursues his course. Well may this man feel happy in confinement; for there, neither the voice of the clamorous creditor— the threats of the baker, the butcher, the chandler, nor the complaints of disappointed servants, can meet his ears— he is there shielded from ihose horrors— but can his conscience know repose?— May not this man do that which shall condemn him to lasting infamy, and bis children be reproached with seeing their parent—( not sink quietly to rest in an habitation which a well- spent life had obtained for him— blit) die in a gaol?— May not time prove, that those who have suffered their understandings to be misled by this man, and their ears deceived by special tales of loyalty, devo- tion to his Country, concern for its moral principles, and, above all, his unparalleled modesty, discover the errors they have imbibed, and wilbdruw from him their countenance and support— while he, in dire confusion ul his loss, shall denounce the most severe invectives on those who have rescued him from ignominy, furnished his table with food, and " enabled him to drink wine, and eat pine apple, like a Prince V'— May not these things happen?— May not a day of sorrow come ?

She wears a Crown of nobler glow Thau ever Britain could bestow! R. To the EDITOR of the ALFRED. SIR,— The following hasty effusion of a, mourning spirit for thfe' late melancholy loss, is but a very unworthy tribute to the sacred dead. With the memory of our lamented Queen will ever be associated the martyred innocent, and the affectionate and- Com- miserating mother of her people. Alas! her trials iii this world of sorrow were so multiplied and severe that it is a selfish feeling which prompts our tears to flow for her blessed removal. Heart- rending and bitter must ever be our remembrance W the wrongs aud outrages she experienced in a Christian country I from those who, professing the, divine doctrine of a Heavenly Mediator, followed not His merciful code; but, teeming with error them- selves, breathed nothing but harsh unrelenting malignancy towards their mild forgiving victim: and who, after bending it with many a rude storm, have at length broken the bruised reed! Thou art gone from the scene of thy trials severe; Thou hast vainsh'd, and left us in sorrow and gloom ; Not u vestige is- left but the nieoVry so dear Of tbe lov'd one, too suddenly snatch'd to tbe tomb. The souls ofthe evil ones now may rejoice O'er the fall of their victim J but anguish shall dwell In the hearts of the feeling, and many a voice Of thy sorrow and virtues will mournfully tell. Thy death was all peaceful, and plackl thy brow, Where the hope of the Christian shed light to the last; And thy spirit, forgiving, in paradise now, Taste, bliss in requital for miseries past. No longer a wandering pilgrim below, Heart- riven, andjudg'd by unmerciful man: Thou hast reaped the rich harvest that insult and woe Had denied, thee, while bound ii). mortality ' s span. From thy summerof youth to the autumn of life Cold malice pursued thee, with spirit nraKg- n I Infidelity, outrage, and scorn hailed thee wife, While the mother was forced her fond charge to resign. No gentle misgiveness— no sympatey rose In the breast of a husband unkindness was there 1 All thy kindred were leagued with thy bitterest foes, And with apathy, chilling beheld thy despair. They came not around thee at that mournful time When each office of friendship, is doubly sweet— No ! their feelings were frigid, and dull us their dime ; And from strangers alone didst thdu sympathy meet. From strangers in blood; but a union more strong Bound the hearts of thy mourning attendants to theo ' Twos affection, cemented by many a wrong, Which thy sweetness and virtue deserved not to see. Yet, still were thy feelings so godlike and pure, Revenge held no sway with the Christian and Queen: Though the struggle was hard, very hard to endure, Bright Charity govern'd thy temper serene. Though nnkindness and insult hiul blighted thy heart, And its chords to the touch of ingratitude woke, Like the sandel tree, wounded, it still did impart Its sweetness to those who had aimed the death strolw. Alas! to resign thee, so peerless and kind, To whom our affection, our homage was giv'n; And to linger benighted, when malice unkind Has quench'd our fair Sun that now rises in Heav'n. ' Tis a stroke that the children of Britaiu will mourn, Not in sable externals of sorrow alone: out, a deep- seated always return To the tomb of the saint and the martyr we own, Oh ! God of the righteous ! TH V judgments are just, And Thy creatures must bend to Thy sovereign decree : Though Thou makest our comforts go down to the. dust, All is best— all is wisdom that Cometh from Thee. She is gone that we cberish'd, but blest is her lot. And ' tis selfish to wish her restored to our gaze; Yet, ne'er can the wrongs of her life be forgot - They shall live in our records to ull future days. And the olive, bespeaking her peaceable mind, With the laurel, her patience and fortitude won, Together shall flourish, and, closely entwined, Bloom ns fadeless and fresh as the flow'rs of the sun. While the nightshade and hemlock shall circle her foes, And throw o'er their mem'ries the gloom they deserve ; And each breast where the Christian and patriot glows, Teeir names as a beacon alone shall preserve. L. M. The French Government 1ms concluded a loan for 12,514.220 francs, with the capitalists of Paris. This is the remainder of the loan required to pay the demands | of the Allies when they conquered France, bnt whiclj could not then be completed, except on very disadvan- ! tageous terms.

The Archduchess Maria Louisa and her Court will go into mourning for three months, from the 25th of July, ] on account of the death of her Most Serene husband, | who died at St. Helena on the 5th of May. . Execution of Ann Barber at York, yesterday se'nnight, for the Murder of her Husband.— At twelve o'clock this most wretched woman suffered the punishment of her aggravated crime. She had yesterday become some- what more gentle and resigned. She admitted her guilt in general terms, and appeared penitent. Her mother, her youngest daughter, and her sister, visited her in her cell, and all of them were mutually affected lu the. deepest manner. A short time before 12 she was led info the grind jury room. She had then again become violent and clamorous. Her Shrieks were bitter apd piercing beyond any thing that it is impossible to imagine. She was drawn from the grand jury room to the scaffold, according to the terms of the sentence, oh a hurdle. The heart- rending cries that announced her approach, filled every face with dismay. As the hurdle came to the threshold so that she could see part of the platform, she bitterly exclaimed—" O Lord God, that 1 should come this !" During the few moments that in- tervened till she reached the last fatal spot, she kept incoherently crying— O Lord, save me,"— O God, help me,"-" O Lord, preserve my soul." Wlteu she last services of religion were begun she looked frantic and wild, dropped on her knees, and with fearful violence clasped the clerk's band and caught up parts of the words of devotion which reached her ears. The pre- vailing expressions were— " O Lord Jesus, save my soul,"—" O God deliver my soul this day to heaven," —' » O Lord, forgive my enemies,"— O God, bless my bairns." When the Lord's prayer was repeated the last time, she was directed to repeat with the chaplain; she instantly complied, and kept uniformly before the chaplain in her expressions. The prayer—" Forgive our trespasses," was pronounced with dreadful energy. While the cap was drawing over her face, she frequently repeated,'' O Lord take my soul to heaven ;" " O Lord", I forgive them that were the. means of bringing hie here;" " O God, bless my children." Just when the rope was tightened round her neck, she earnestly cried, " O Lord Jesus, I am coming to thee"— the drop fell, and in less then a minute life was extinct Throughout this scene, shocking to humanity in its firmest form, she manifested a vigour of motion and a strength of nerve j which could not be expected from her appearance and manner at her trial. Al the same time her features and tile- expression of her eyes indicated a distraction and amazement, which showed that she knew not well what she was about. In the most solemn part of the devotio- nal service she gazed widely around to see the rope by which she was to be suspended. The multitude of spec- tators was greater than was ever seen on a similar occa- sion at York. Vagrants.— The Act to amend the Vagrant Laws, which was passed in fhe late Session of Parliament, provides, that for a year, after the first of September next, it shall not be lawful for Justices to pass any vagrants to their place of settlement. Thai no reward shall be given for their apprehension exceeding 5s.; that il shall not be lawful to commit any vagrant for more than three or. less than one month, unless at the Quarter Sessions, or unless to remain in prison until ( he Sessions. Tlrat every offender shall be kept to hard labour ( hiring imprisonment. That it shall be at the discretion of a Justice to commit or discharge any person brought before h| m, though an act of vagrancy be proved. That when, any vagrant shall be committed for the Sessions, the person apprehending'the offender may be bound over to prosecute, his expences to be paid by the county. That when any offender shall be discharged after im- prisonment, the visiting Justices may order such portion .

Doe, on the demise of Richards and others', v. Osmond. This was an action of ejectment, to recover possession of the. Black Horse Inn, in Tiverton. The defendant obtained posses- sion of the premises In question from William James, who suc- ceeded David Allen; Alien succeeded John Bult, who was an ander tenant of George Jordan, the original lessee under Philip Cookings. Cookings, being the owner of the inheritance, granted a lease to Jordan for 11 years, from Michaelmas 1813, determi- nable at the end ol'the first seven years, on giving a year's notice-. This lease was assigned by Jordan to the defendant after he had been let into possession by James. The defendant purchased the fee of the premises from the devisees of Philip Cockings, in 1819, and delivered a note to the defendant to quit at Michaelmas, 1820, hi pursuance of the power contained in the lease, to deter- mine the term at that time ; but the defendant persisted in re- possession,. notwithstanding the notice, insisting.. on his right to hold ilie premises for the residue of the term of fourteen years. The lease was in defendant's possession, and there was no duplicate or counterpart of it. On the trial the defendant abandoned that part of his defence which rested on the validity a nd operation of the lease, and endeavoured to defeat the effect of the notice to quit, by attempting to establish a yearly tenancy under the plaintiff', commencing at lady- day, 1819, from which time the plaintiff became entitled to the rents, by virtue of his purchase; and defendant had, at the request of the vendors, . attorned tenant to him. The defendant, on being called upon to produce the original lease from Cockings to Jordan, and the assignment of it to tbe defendant, in pursuance ' of notice given to him for that purpose, and refusing so to do, parol evidence was admitted of the contents of these instruments, Which established the fact of the tenancy commencing at Michaelmas, 1813, and ending at Michaelmas, 1820.— Verdict for Plaintiff. The King v. Cox.- ( S, J.) This was an indictment against" the defendant, a respectable solicitor at honiton, as the avowed, author of a paragraph Which appeared in Trewman's Exeter Paper of the 1st of February, and in the Alfred Exeter Paper of' the 6th; ( in which latter one there were some additional ob- servations) charging a young man of the name of Norman, although not by name, with having been guilty of great cruelty in killing a horse in the York Hotel dung- yard, at Sidmouth, on LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, Ana. 14, 1821.

There were but two female saved, one a young married lady, who - superior to many of the stoutest men ; the other the wife of a soldier, who was very careful of her. No list of the sufferers has yet been gi ven, as there is no entry made of the persons who take their passage. by these packets. The report of a revolution having taken place at Rio Janeiro has been confirmed. A vessel direct from that capital arrived at Havre on the 11th inst. and brought particulars of this event, by which it appeared to have been effected without much difficulty or'violence. The latest account from St, Petersburgh positively ] contradicts preceding reports, which affirmed that a misunderstanding had arisen between the Courts of St. Petersburgh and Loudon, with respect to the affairs of Greeee and Turkey. It is asserted, on the contrary, with much probability, that the two cabinets jointly use their influence with the Porte, lo induce it to accept the mediation of the Christian Powers, in favour of its Greek subjects. The Paris papers which reached town on Saturday j eontain a quotation from the report of the Minister of 1 Marine, to the Chamber of Deputies. From this docu- ment, it appears that 76 vessels have been armed, and stationed in different parts of tlie world, for the protec- tion of commerce, the abolition of the traffic in slaves, and fur the prevention of contraband trade. They have a naval force in the Antilles, in the Gulph of Mexico, at Cayenne, Newfoundland, the coast of Africa, at the Isle of Bourbon, in the Levant, and the Mediterranean, a? well to keep up their communications with Corsica, the states of Italy, and the coast of Barbary, as for the coral fishery. Other vessels cruise near the ecoasts of America, in both oceans These 76 vessels employ 10.1) 00 seamen, and carry 1629 guns. They consist of three ships of the line, eleven frigates, and the remain- der vessels of smaller closses. of the county.

To the Editor ofthe Western Luminary. " Our miserable Queen Caroline is no more!"— true,— and your envenomed darts can no longer reach that exalted spirit, which has tuken its flight to the regions of eternal happi- ness, and already associates with the departed souls of her dearest friends upon earth— his late most excellent Majesty George the Third, and her amiable and illustrions daughter, the Princess Charlotte I But is the term " miserable," in the common acceptation of the word, strictly decorous, as applied to Royalty? " Our miserable Queen Caroline is uo more" —" our miserable King George is gone to Ireland," ifce. We know that, in our excellent Liturgy, all denominations of mankind are designated as " miserable sinners," and miser- able offenders," in the eyes of that Being, before whom " the heavens are declared unclean, and whose angels stand charged with folly and if, in this sense, the expression is to be con- sidered, most assuredly we ote^ miserable Kings— miserable Queens— and miserable subjects! 1 do not, however, mean to contend, that the word "• miser- able" is inapplicable to individuals below the rank of royalty : a person, for instance, maybe a miserable and contemptible libeller of his Queen ; may also become a miserable prisoner in gaol, in consequence of his offences; and may dually vent his spleen in so miserable a way, as to render himself the object of detestation to nil liberal and virtuous minds ! I now take my ] leave of your dark " Luminary." I am, yours, etc. Aug. 17tb, 1821. PUBLICOLA. P. S. Something has been said, respecting the Queen " waddling through tbe crowd io Westminster Hall;" which requires no other comment than that such epithets as " waddling Kings" , and " waddling Queens;" - are only calculated to. 1 bring royalty into contempt. The language is low, and worthy of its author. DEVON LAMMAS ASSIZES. The business of these Assizes commenced yesterday, I se'tinlght; and the causes in the Criminal Court were I finished ou the afternoon of Friday. It is expected the | Nisi I'rius causes will not be concluded until to- morrow,_ ' ivc must therefore reserve the conclusion of our report . p for our next publication. The following list embraces ) | those cases the most interesting to the . public :— Ann Damarell, for stealing a . note at Totnes; J. Maun- der, for burglary at Poughill; Robert Redwood, alias Hart, for stealing a sheep at Clisthydon; Thomas Webber, for stealing. £ 2. and some silver, at Abbotskerswell; George Butterworth,- for stealing butter, & c. at Ottery; Maria Easterbrook, for a bur- glary at Tiverton; John Webster, for a highway robbery at Stoke Damerel; Mary Whitefield, for stealing bank notes, value 1 | £$ 0.— Found guilty.

Edward Harding, for an assault with intent to commit a rape. - Imprisoned 3' years. Hannah Gard, for stealing a trunk of wearing- apparel, at Beer Ferris ( James Wyatt acquitted of being an accomplice); Fanny author; and Mr. Norman, the father of the prosecutor, deposed, that it was by his direction the horse was killed, he himself fur- nishing the pistols and directing his son to shoot the mare in the head. The son was then called, who related the facts. Mr. Sergeant Pell, in opening the case, said that it was the clearance of character, and not the punishment of fhe defendant, that was the object of prosecution, and took occasion to pay some high compliments to the defendant's conduct and character. Mr. Adams made a very excellent speech in favor of the defendant but declined calling any evidence on his behalf.— The Jury re- turned a verdict of Guilty. Brewer v. moore.— The plaintiff in this case was a farmer and land- surveyor, and had been called in to look over some pro- perty at Chudleigh, in this county; and the cause of complaint was a libel contained in a letter written by the defendant, a landed proprietor in that parish, reflecting upon the plaintiffs character. The letter was as follows: " Sir,— I understand that a person, by name Brewer, has been to apply to j'ou to show him something that you rent; I am in- formed he wishes a turnkey's situation, but it requires security,' which I fear he will not be able to obtain, unless Mr. Turner will be bound for his good behaviour. Your humble servant. ( Turn over.) " J. h. MOORE. The vagabond says he shall receive a guinea a day; he de- serves a h— ter: do give the fellow a glass of grog, and he will do what you wish, if It is a fair thing, not otherwise." It appeared that the defendant had showed this letter about to" several people as a piece of fun, and boasted that the law could not touch him,. as he had put the name Prewer and not Brewer, and had omitted vowels in the words vagabond and halter. Mr. Casbeard, for the defendant, admitted the hand- writing, but contended that it was a case in which the smallest damages would suffice, as the whole appeared to be a joke, and as no proof had been given that the plaintiff's character had been in the slightest degree injured.— Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 40s. costs 40s. Boon v Boon.— This was a complete " brotherly" quarrel. - The plaintiff and defendant are brothers, us well as the principal witness. The parties, reside at Up- Lyme, near Axminster, and the cause of complaint was an assault committed by the' defen- dant, under the following circumstances: — The plaintiff had placed his cart in the halter or bridle- way of the defendant; and upon his being desired to remove it, a quarrel arose, and the cart, to prevent dispute, was removed by the third brother This Interference, however, had not the desired effect, for soon after the defendant's toe- paid a visit to the plaintiff's breech, the effect, of wbich was, according to one of the witnesses, to deprive the ulaintift' of " hearing," he having subsequently become deaf. In addition to that, the defendant pulled from the hedge a black- thorn stick, with which he threatehed to belabourthe sides of fhe plaintiff, which the latter dared him to tlo, by saying " D D, you, wallop away us long as you like, ybu shall pay for it> The defendant complied with his brotherly advice, and in the operation broke the crab stick. At'the close the plaintiff said, I " You have endeavoured to do me all the injury in ydur power, and I will be d— d if you shall nol pay for all." The assault being too clearly - proved, Mr. Serg. Pell, for the defendant, ad- dressed himself only to the reduction of damages and to the license which the plaintiff had given to the defendant to " wallop" him. But as it seemed to be the opinion of the learned Judge, that tbe • license was bad in law, but that the " walloping" Was good In law, the question was left to the jun-, upon the simple point of damages, and they returned a verdict for five shillings. vickery v. Richards.— This was an action to recover the sum of five pounds for money lent. The case for the plaintiff depended ou theevidenee Of a hoy only tea years of age, but bis testimony was given so Clearly, that Mr. C. F. Williams, for the defendant, said that ho could Hot contest a verdict.— Da- mages £ 5. Warren v. Brook.— In this case the sum ctf £ 74 ITs. was recovered for the rent of some land due 10 the plaintiff, and the only question was, wheiher the land was in the actual occupa- tion of the defendant or his father. The Jury being of Opinion that it was in the occupation of tie son, returned a verdict ac- cordingly. Doe, on the demise of Hughes and others, v. Peters, clerk. — This was an ejectment brought to recover the possession of several houses in Plymouth, which, about a century ago, were the property of aa Alderman of that borough, of the name of Facey. The lessors of the plaintiff claimed 11s heirs at law of tbe Alderman, and the defendant insisted upon his right to hold under the will of a descendant, the simple and only question left to the Jury was, whether the son of the Alderman died before the daughter, and the Jury finding that he did, a verdict was entered for the defendant, upon an understanding that al special case should be framed for argument to determine whether, under the peculiar circumstances, the lessors of the plaintiff took any and what part of the property. Chapple v. Porthury.— This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, the occupier of a house in St. Sidwells, to recover the sum of si.: guineas, for half a year's rent of a parlor and bed- room. The tiring was proved, and also the payment of the rent for one half yeir, but Mr. C. F. Williams, for the defendant, contended, that as the hiring was for a year, and no reservation' made for any ihtermediuto paymenis, the plaintiff had brought his action too soon, the year not expiring till the 11th of Septem- ber next. The Judge and Jury, however, were of a different opinion, and the latter returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £ 0 6s, Collins v. Ambrose and another. This was an action to recover from the defendant the sum of £ 2' iS 2s. 4d. being the balance due for timber furnished by the plaintiff, a timber mer- chant at Plymouth, to the defendants, who are builders there. The defendant contended that they had a set- off for more thati the amount olaimed against an alleged partner of the plaintiff, a Mr. Prideaux, for w ham a great deal of work had been dohri; but this failing, a verdict « as entered for £ 200, throwing off the odd money for work that had been done at tke houses after they had come into the possession of the plaintiff. Ellis, v. Davie, Bart. This Was an action nominally igalnst the Sheriff, for having taken three cows, which were to be the property Qf the plaintiff, but which the real , Mr. milford, wile wis a judgment creditor of a person of tife,' fiame of Thorn, living at Topsham, conceived batf p'eeh fraudulently transferred hy Thorn to the Plaintiff, in order to deteat the execution- It appeared that the debt due to Mr. Milford Was 140/, anJ that the whole amount- of Thorn's tan- gible property did uot exceed 63f, and'consisted of three cows and' sbme liorses. All auctioneer was the first witness called," tmd he related the sale of the'cows to the plaintiff, and of the horses to a person of the name of Porter. Thorn Himself was also Called, and he swore that he had sold his goods to answer ihe pressing dte'mamls of his creditors, and that ha now hired the iSpws from the pliiintiff nt 9s, per week, exclusive of their keep, » o. that in fact they remained with him just us before." He also jfldmltteil that the plaintiff was his nephew, » » d that the horses which had bgen pretended to he sold to I'orter, bad been trans- ferred to his ( Thorn's) son, who was just 21 years of age.— Mr. Serjeant Pell, ih reply, contented himself with leaving tha icfee to the Jury, upon the plaintiff's own evidence, expressing' himself satisfied that the Jury could come to 110 other conclu-' Ifqn iflnn that the whole was collusion, ill order to defeat the judgment creditor of his just demand. Tlie Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. voysey, v. Gilham This was an action to recover the value ' ot 50 bushels of wheat, which were proved to have been delivered io the defendant, who contended that the 50 bushels were only a part of an entire and special contract, and that the whole not having been completed, he could not be culled upon to pay fof. ; any part. After a very minute investigation inlo the cirpuni- siauees of the case, ( he jury gave their verdict in favor of the defendant, with 211. St. damages, being at f) s. 6d. per bushel. Right on demise of J. Giliard, v. Gillard — The lessor of the plaintiff and defendants in this case are brothers, and are the nepheW of the late Richard Gillard, of Dodbrook, who died oil the 13th of September, 1819, having made his Will, which gave rise to the present question, 011 the 6tli of the same'month. The ^ defendant was the younger brother, but was made the executor of h.' s uncle. He was charged by ihe lessor Of the plaintiff with having interlined tbe word " legacies" in the will, without which word he would not have taktm an estate in fee, but only iili estate for life. The execution of the will was only proved, aflil til,' mother of the parties, the Rev. Mr Young, the rector .' of Didllrook, and a Mr. P. Gillard, swore that Ihe Word f legacies Was in the will at the time it was read over on the day of the deceased's funeral. On the part the plaintiff, Mr. Smith, Attorney, of Dartmouth, declared, that he examined the Will on the 22d September, with the view of ascertaining whether defendent's title would enable Him to complete the sale of a part of the property to a Mr. Newman, who had con- tracted for the purchase in ihe lifetime of the late Mr. Gillard, and that he thought the defendant did not take an estate in fee from the want of the word in question, Mr. Smith took a copy of tbe will at that time, which he produced, but in which the word " Iegadies" did not appear. The opinion of Mr. Butler, the Conveyancer, was taken, which agreed with that of Mr. Smith; and the ease and opinion were submitted to the de- fendant, and by him 10 his Solicitor, Mr. Wyse, of Totnes, the whole point still turning upon that material word. However, iq the month of February following, Mr. Wyse sent word to Mr. Smith that the word " legacies" did actually appear in the will, and consequently that Mr. Smith had omitted it iu his copy. The question then was whether there had been a forgery by the interlineation of the word " legacies" subsequently to the 22d of September; or whether Mr. Smith had made a mistake, there being un interval of nearly five months before that mistake was discovered, and the parlies proceeding upon the supposition tliat Mr. Smith's copy « i as correct. The Jury had therefore to balance in their minds the weight of evidence, by putting Mr. Smith in one scale, and Mrs. Gillard, Mr. Young, the Rector, and Mr., Peter ation, they returned a verdict for the defendant. A question was reserved for the consideration of the Court above, as to Whether by the construction of the will the defendant took any part of the property at West Alvington, the Will only mentioning " my property here ( Doodbrook) and at Beeston." . Cook and another v. Taylor.— Special Jury.— The object of the present case was to try the validity of a modus of two- pence per acre for meadow land, and one penny per acre for dry ( or pasture) land, in the parish of Willand. The Jury after a a tedious and uninteresting investigation ( exoept to the parties concerned), returned a verdict for the plaintiff, thereby establis- ing the modusses. Gould v. Hole and another.— This was an action against two, magistrates, for taking forcible possession, of some premises in the occupation of the defendant, at Ham, under the 1 lib of Geo. the 2d. and the 5Tth of Geo. the 3d, for tbe better enabling land- lords to recover possession when there was an insufficieney to distrain upon. A verdict was entered for tbe defendant on a point of law. Lately, at Penzance, the lady of John Stevens, Esq. of a daughter. At Truro, on Taesday last, Mrs. T. Hornblower, . of a son.
