D E A T H OF HER GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN CAROLINE OF ENGLAND. WORDS are altogether incompetent to express the deep affliction with which we sit down to relate the melancholy event of the Death of our greatly and most justly beloved QUEEN. But this inability of language is the less to be regretted, because our Readers will find in their bosoms, respectively, the twin brother of this true sorrow. We have the consolation, besides, of performing this duty with the care and fidelity which become the solemn occasion. We have collected every circumstance, even to minuteness, belonging to this interesting, although melancholy, scene; and we feel assured our Readers will repay our labor with their ready thanks, which, is ever our best reward when we are called upon to discharge our duty with more than ordinary assiduity and zeal. Nor will our Readers be tvholly destitute of matter to compensate, in degree for the pain of reading the following columns; for the last moments of this Illustrious Personage were of a nature to elevate, and even to delight the mind of every honest man. If tears fall upon the paper which relates the decease of QUEEN CAROLINE ( which will be the case jf with many), the sunshine of an honest heart will burst forth and adorn those gracious showers. We now proceed to our irkseme duty, by commencing at that period where our last statement closed:— " Brandcnburgh- house, Saturday night, 10 o'clock. « No material change has taken place in her Majesty's symptoms since the morning. " II. AINSLIE. " W. G. MATON. " PELHAM WARREN. " HENRY HOLLAND." " Brandcnburgh- house, Aug. 5, ( Sunday morning,) 9 o'clock. Kia " Her Majesty has passed the last night better than the preceding one; but no material important amendment has H taken place." ( Signed as before.) Brandenburgh- bouse, Sunday afternoon, 2 o'clock. " Her Majesty's state has not undergone any alteration since the morning." ( Signed as before.) At half past ten o'clock the following bulletin was posted up at the lodge:— " 10 o'clock, Monday morning. Her Majesty has had some relief during the night, and her state is more favorable than it has been." ( Signed as before.) The publication of this account, as it afforded some hope of her Majesty's ultimate recovery, was received with unfeigned satisfaction, and was rapidly circulated by tliose who attended to make inquiries at the lodge. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the pleasing intelligence was joyfully greeted in Hammersmith and its neighbourhood, and ultimately in London. Soon after the bulletin was issued, Drs. Maton, Warren, and Holland left Brandenburgh- house for London; Dr. Ainslie alone remaining in attendance on her Majesty. This was the first occasion since the commencement of her Majesty's illness on which so many of her medical attendants were absent together, and tiie circumstance was looked upon as a proof at least that no immediate danger was apprehended. At half past two o'clock Dr. Baillie arrived in a post- chaise' and, four. A messenger had been despatched for him on Sunday, who arrived at his country seat. Dunsborn, in Gloucestershire ( about ninety mil^ s distant from London), between two and three o'clock yesterday morning. The Doctor set off about five o'clock, and scarcely allowed himself a moment's rest till he reached her Majesty's house. Immediately on his arrival he had an interview with Dr. Ainslie, and soon after, as we weri; informed, was introduced to her Majesty's chamber.. A short consultation took place . between the two physicians, hut its result did not then, transpire. Dr. Ainslie soon after departed, for London, leaving Dr. Baillie in attendance, who was joined in aboutan hour by Dr. Holland and Mr. Thompson, her Majesty's apothecary. It was expected that a bulletin would he published by three, o'clock, but no bulletin was issued. The verbal answer given to the numerous inquiries at, the lodge and the house was, that no change had taken place in her Majesty's complaint since morning. Hammersmith, half past three, p. m.— All here is alarm and confusion. A report is afloat that the Queen has had a relapse. No satisfactory answer can be obtained from the servants at Brandenburgh- house. The morfiing bulletin still stands at the gate. It is this :— " The Queen has passed the night without sleep: her Majesty's symptoms are not worse than yesterday. " SI. BAILLIE. " H. AINSLIE. " W. G. MATON. " PELHAM WARREN. " HENRY HOLLAND." Mr. Wilde, Dr. Lushington, and twoof her Majesty's physicians, are now in consultation. The most positive orders are given that their conference shall not be interrupted. A messenger is this moment despatched to Dr. Baillie. Half past four o'clock.— The evil news gains strength.— The gates of her Majesty's residence are surrounded. The household is in consternation. The principal domestics believe that there has been an important change, and fear that it is a change of an unfavorable nature. The inquiries are so numerous, that it is found necessary to prevent persons ( except of rank, or on immediate business) from entering the avenue. Dr. Baillie is sent for, we understand, at her Majesty's express desire. Five o'clock.— Three expresses have just passed at full speed through the town: they have all taken the road to London. The High street is crowded with persons, each questioning the other, and all alike unable to give answer. The inhabitants of tbe town are running- from all quarters towards Brandenburgh- house. Dr. Baillie is arrived. A quarter past fire.— The ill- tidings are confirmed. The following bulletin has this moment been issued:— " In the course of the morning, her Majesty has suddenly become much worse. " M. BAILLIE. " W. G. MATON. " HENRY HOLLAND." This account, the more terrible as it was unexpected, scatters dismay in every direction. An express has been sent to the Lord Mayor, with a copy of the bulletin. Site o'clock.— Dr. Ainslie and Dr. Warren are here. Mr. Thompson, her Majesty's apothecary, is also come. The Prince Equilano, Mr. Hobhouse, and Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, came in at a gallop about half an hour back; and a vast number of horsemen are hovering about Brandenburghhouse for intelligence. The medical men are now with her Majesty. We have been interrupted by a report of her Majesty's decease. We mention the rumour to shew the state of anxious feel ing : it is wholly without foundation. Seven o'clock.— Stories of every description are afloat: they are caught up by the stage- coaches passing through Hammersmith, and will, no doubt, by to- morrow morning, make their way to all'quarters of the kingdom. Nothing authentic has transpired within the last hour. Eight o'clock.— Matters remain in the same state. A messenger from the Duke of Sussex has been at Brandenburghhouse : he brought a letter, and, after waitings few minutes, departed at full speed with the answer. Nine o'clock.— The Queen's medical attendants are all in consultation; Lord Hood, Alderman Wood, Mr. Wilde, and Dr. Lush'ington, are with them. A bulletin is presently expected. We hear that her Majesty is dozing, and that she is at present nearly or quite out of pain. It is but justice to the individuals who compose her Majesty's household to say. that they are penetrated with the deepest distress on her account. The Qtseen, at least, may be truly said to have the blessings of those who eat her bread. Ten o'clock.— No bulletin - is yet issued. A few minutes since, the cry of women was heard in the upper apartments of Brandenburgh- house ; but- no immediate danger is announced. It is impossible not to be struck with the earnest yet cautious demeanour of the persons ( no matter what their rank) who are incessantly repeating their inquiries after her Majesty's welfare. The only individuals who shew themselves at the lodge are two detent, attentive, young women; and yet, notwithstanding the concourse of persons, and lite eagerness lor intelligence, not a question is asked above the tone of awhisper. A messenger from- the Duchess of Kent hffs been at Brandenburgh- house. We hear that he sarried back only a verbal message; it is sakf, a message of threatening import. Half past ten o'clock.— The struggle is over ! Hope, fear, anxiety, arc now a! ik6- at- an end;— CAROLINE, QUEEN OF ENGLAND1, IS NO MORE! The shock through the household was violent, almost a stupefaction. About. five minutes ago, t. Moorish domestic of. her Majesty burst, half frantic, into the vestibule; - and at the same instant a Joud find lengthened shriek from the female servants, lis they rushed towards- each other , from ^ S S B S i their several apartments, rendered all'explanation unneces-| sary to the horror- struck spectators. The cry of alarm was succeeded by a long and fearful pause. It was a pause of I death- like silence— of a silence which everyone dreaded to break. Even to the last fatal moment, spite of evidence to the contrary, all had hoped, and many had trusted, that she, their friend and mistress! would recover. The sobs of the women were loud and unrestrained: the men covered their faces with their hands and wept. It was long before any thing like regularity could be restored. For some time, all distinctions of rank appeared to be at an end; in this instance, the most eminent individuals present were seen walking about the house, forgetting to claim, and scarcely receiving, any thing like ready attention from their own ser- 1 vauts. At length, the necessity of making certain arrange- j ments produced the restoration ( in some degree) of order: and we were enabled to collect a few particulars which maybe relied upon as authentic. At an early hour this morning her Majesty's friends and servants were impressed with a full conviction of her speedy | recovery. It would appear, however, that the expectations | of the Queen herself were not so sanguine; for when Mr. Wilde requested leave to attend his professional duties or, the western circuit, the Royal Patient intimated her wish that he should remain. About noon unfavorable symptoms began to manifest themselves, and her Majesty endured considerable pain: that undaunted. resolution, however, which had conducted her in safety over nearly half the surface ofj the habitable globe, which taught her first to defy the threats, and then enabled her to baflle the machinations of her enemies— that noble determination did not forsake her even in her dying hour, and, if she suffered severely, she suffered without a murmur. Opiates were administered, and for some time they had a consoling- effect; but, at 2 o'clock, increased inflammation was visible to every one, and the posthaste attendacceof the physicians was desired. Drs. Baillie, i Maton, and Holland, first arrived, and, under their direction, the bulletin dated half- past four o'clock was put forth. Dr. Ainslie and Dr. Warren presented themselves immediately after. At four o'clock Mr. Wilde was summoned to her Majesty's chamber. At that time a marked alterationan alteration which could scarcely be mistaken— had taken place in her appearance. The illustrious sufferer herself seemed perfectly aware of the change; and, amid the'tears of all who surrounded her, spoke with calmness and with resignation of her approaching dissolution. She thanked her friends for the care they had bestowed upon her; lamented her inability to reward their kindness as it deserved^ and expressed the most perfect conviction lhat in a few hours she should cease to need their attention. She commended her soul with humility, but with confidence, to her Creator; and trusted to meet that justice in another world which had been denied to her in this. Her Majesty adverted also to some. highly important and interesting facts, with which we are not as yet fully favored, and upon which we decline therefore, for the present, to enter. From four until seven o'clock the Queen continued gradually to grow worse. Just before eight she sunk for a short time into a doze. ' Soon after the eye became fixed, the muscle grew rigid) and a stupor ensued, from which her Majesty neycr awoke. At twenty- five minutes past ten o'clock ( after an entire absence of sense and faculty of more than two ' hours) nature gave upthe contest; and, almost withotit a struggle, the Consort of George IV., and the reigning Quefen of England, expired. At half- past eleven o'clock- the following Bulletin was issued :— " ller Majesty departed this life at twenty- five minutes past ten o'clock this njght. " M. BAILLIE. " H. AINSLIE. " W. G, MATON. " PELHAM WARREN, " HENRY HOLLAND. " Brandertburgh- house, August 7." The persons present at the moment of her Majesty's death were— Lord and Lady Hood, and Lady Anne Hamilton; Alderman Wood and his son, the- Key. Mr. John Wood; Dr. Baillie, Dr. Ainslie, Dr. Maton, Dr. Warren, and Dr. Holland; Mr. Wilde, Dr. Lushington, and Mr. Austin. Soon after the bulletin was delivered, all the medical gentlemen, except Dr. Holland, departed. Dr. Holland remained all night at Brandenburgh- house, as did - also Lady Anne Hamilton. Numerous expresses were sent off in different directions. T h e sensation produced in the vicinity of her Majesty's residence was deep beyond description. At midnight lights were moving in the windows of every house in the village of Hammersmith'; the'streets were filled by'persons running to and fro, whither, or why, they scarcely knew; and circles collected round the door of every dwelling discttsse! 250 sBunnwiimiiumi niiiamiiiiin imi « THE NEWS. dreadful event of the night with interest painfully acute.— " The Queen is gone/' was the observation with which each met his fellow. " Peace be to her soul 1" was the fervent prayer of thousands! Wednesday, Ten o'Cloch.— Hammersmith this morning presents but a gloomy appearance. Soon after twelve last night, the bell of the parish church began to toll, and its deep tones ctpntinued during several hours, at intervals, to remind the inhabitants of their loss. It was not until near midnight that the fact of her Majesty's decease was fully promulgated in the town. Persons left Brandenburgh- house almost instantaneously upon the event; but they were severally cautioned not to disclose the news, lest the assembling, at such a moment, of a large concourse of persons might produce confusion, and impede the necessary arrangements. The whole neighbourhood for several hours afterwards continued restless and unquiet. Some persons wandered up and down in quest of particulars; others were busied in sending off intelligence to their friends. Private parties sat late in conversation; and many houses of public entertainment were not closed during the whole night. A different sensation prevails this morning. Anxiety has given way to silent regret. The gatesef Brandenburgh- house. yesterday thronged with visitors, are now deserted; persons pause for a moment, but pass on without inquiry. Throughout Hammersmith | the shops of the tradesmen are shut; the windows of th « * private houses are half closed; the flag, hoisted half- mast high at the church steeple, drenched with wet, flaps heavily in the wind; and the rain, falling in incessant torrents, adds to the sombre appearance of the scene. These public tokens of sorrow for her late Majesty are not confined to the vicinity of her own residence. In Knightsbridge and Kensington— all the way, indeed, from London to Hammersmith— the shop windows ( with few exceptions) are closed; and we understand that, lower down the road, similar symptoms of affection and respect are universally manifesting themselves. The several Theatres are closed on this evening ( Wednes- „ day): they will again be shut on the night of the funeral.— ft The expression of feeling in London is very general. At noon this day there were not, in the long line of way between I Blackfriars- bridge and the Elephant and Castle, a dozen shopkeepers who did not partially close the fronts of their dwellings. The few tradesmen who stood as exceptions were chiefly of the Society of Friends, whose religious tenets forbid them either to make merry or weep after the things of this world. Throughout the Lambeth- road, at Bermondsey, and a't Camberwcll, . the same demonstrations of sorrow appeared. In many parishes the bells tolled during the whole morning, and nearly all the ships in the Thames had their frags flying half- mast high. The respectful tribute paid by the citizens of London to the memory of their Queen was more general on Thursday and Friday than it was immediately upon her decease. In Fleet- street, the Strand, Piccadilly, Pull- mall, and the intersecting streets, we did not see a single shop the windows of which were not partially closed: many were shut up altogether; and at the east end of the town the expression was equally decided. Many persons already appear in black; certainly naCourtorder will be necessary- to make the mourning universal. These open demonstrations of regret have their value, because they broadly give the lie to those who have insulted and libelled the Queen, and who would ( if they could) misrepresent the state of public opinion: for the rest, it is not pomp of outward show, " nor customary suits of solemn black," that can denote the feelings of the British people truly. When the account df the Queen's death reached South Audley- street, a vast concourse of persons were surrounding Cambridge- house. On the bulletin being read, there was a general shriek from the females assembled; many fainted, and were carried into Alderman Wood's house opposite. Upon the receipt of Lord Hood's note, announcing her Majesty's decease, the Lord Mayor immediately sent directions to one of the Vergers of St. Paul's to toll the great bell ; but this the Verger declined doing until he had other instructions. A message was then sent to Mr. Lingard, the principal Verger, who said he must consult the Rev. Dr. Wellesley, the Residentiary Canon, on the subject. Mr. Lingard, we understand, repaired accordingly to Dr. Wellesley, who resides at Chelsea; and, we presume, obtained his concurrence, as the bell commences! tolling at one o'clock, and continued lo toll until three. Antaldi and Signor Felice would act under the directions of those gentlemen for the setdement of her Italian property. The two foreigners are men of the highest respectability; the first a man of letters, the second a judge: they are both from Pesaro. When, at the beginning of last week, her Majesty's illness first assumed a serious character, Dr. Holland requested her permission to send for another physician, observing, that whatever might be his own individual skil^ and attention, yet the public would necessarily expect, in the case of a Queen, that every possible aid should be had recourse to.— Her Majesty answered with a smile to the following effect:— " My dear Doctor, do what you please: if it will be any " relief to your own mind to call in assistance, do so; but " do not do it for my sake : I have no wish to live; I would " rather die." Indeed, from the first moment that her Majesty was assured of the very serious nature of her indisposition, She clung to the assurance with joy and gratitude, and listened with a reluctant ear to the hopes- of recovery which her physicians and friends held out to her from time to time. " Why do you wish me to live ?" she exclaimed on one occasion in the early part of her illness; " life to me can be no- " thing but a series of sorrows and persecutions: I shall be " much happier in another world than in this." It was observed, that she desponded too much; that public opinion was in her favor, and would make her amends for all her sufferings. Her Majesty asked " what public opinion had " done for her?" It was answered, that it had defeated that late dreadful attempt to ruin her— the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Her reply was prompt and firm— What am I the " better for thefailure of that bill? If it had passed, I should " have been degraded; and what is my situation now ? I " have indeed the empty title of Queen; but am I Queen of " England? Have I the privileges, tbe power, the dignities " of a Queen of England ? No, no: I am a mere private " person— I am not Queen of England." It will be recollected that on Friday last the symptoms of her Majesty's disorder had become very alarming, and the physicians had scarcely any hope of her recovery. She received the announcement of her dan ® r with admirable calmness and composure; and shortly afterwards proceeded to make her will. There was an air of cheerfulness about her after she had signed it, which induced one of her professional advisers ( we understand, Mr. Brougham) to express a hope that she felt herself easier and better. Her Majesty answered, " Oh, " no, my dear Mr. Brougham, 1 know I shall die, and I do " not at all regret it." Mr. Brougham said, that he was of a different opinion, and expected her Majesty to recover, but added, that the step she had just taken was perfectly proper in case of accident. Her Majesty persisted in saying, that she knew she was dying. In the course of the evening she took occasion to say—" I do not know whether I shall " suffer bodily pain in dying, but I can assure you that I " shall quit this world without regret: I have no great reason " to be attached to life." The following was published on Wednesday:— SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, Aug. 7. WHITEHALL, AUGUST 8, 1821. Yesterday evening, at 25 minutes after 10 o'clock, the Queen departed this life, after a short but painful illness, at Brandenburgh- house at Hammersmith. On Wednesday Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde attended Lord Liverpool for the purpose of shewing the will, and taking instructions as to the funeral of her Majesty. All that has transpired is, that his. Lordship said he should give orders to prepare a squadron to convey her Majesty's body to Brunswick, according to the request in her will. The executors to her Majesty's will are Dr. Ltahington ar. d Mr: Wildf. Her Majesty requested that the Marquis On Saturday and Sunday, in spite of some favorable symptoms which inspired the physicians with hope, she still expressed her firm conviction that she should die. She seemed to feel pleasure in talking on the subject, and rejoked in anticipating her release from trouble— her escape from the malice of her enemies. She said, that in this world, whether in England or abroad, the rancour of her persecutors would always beset her: and it was only in another world she could look for peace and justice. She expressed the deepest regret that she was so little able to reward those faithful servants who had stood by her in her difficulties; but hoped that Government would not let them want. She declared herself warmly grateful— and hoped her gratitude would be made known— to that generous portion of the people of England whose support of her had been most steady when most wanted, and who had never been frightened from her cause either by the power or the calumny of her oppressors. " England," said her Majesty, " has certainly been to me a ". land of sorrow and persecution, but I know how to love " those faithful English who have always sympathized with " my sorrow, and have done all in their power to defeat the " malice of my persecutors." Itwason this occasion that she observed that her enemies had been for years plotting and conspiring to destroy her: " at last," said she, " THEY HAVE " DESTROYED ME, but I forgive them. 1 die in peace with all mankind." Calling the servant, Mariette Brune, to her bed- side, she said—" Your sister Demont has done " me'great injury: her wickedness has been very great: but " tell her that I forgive— tell her that with my dying breath " I forgive her." All who had an opportunity of seeing ber Majesty were struck with the glorious trait in her character, that though her heart was evidently broken with' the recollection of the deep injuries she had received, and though an indelibly strong image of the injustice of her enemies was always present to her mind, yet she never used a harsh or angry expression against afty individual: she freely forgave them all, spoke of them in terms of pity, and even made allowances for their conduct on the score of the weakness and frailty of human nature. On Monday night her physicians- seemed to consider her Majesty out of ail danger:. she. was informed of their opinion, but insisted that they wwe mistaken, adding, she felt she was dying, and thought she should die before nine o'clock the next evening. It is not improbable that her Majesty then felt the symptoms of incipient mortification. She sent for • Mr. Wilde, who was in attendance, and added a codicil to ! her will: we believe it related to the place of her interment. Her first wish was to be buried in the same grave with her beloved daughter; but, added she, " I can have little hope " that the Government will grant this wish : I desire, there- " fore, to be buried in the same vault with my father and " brother at Brunswick." When her Majesty had signed this codicil, she began to converse at considerable length with Mr. Wilde: the physicians fearing that conversation might disturb her, wished to withdraw Mr. Wilde from the room, and that gentleman, from the same motive, was anxious to go: • but her Majesty begged him to stay. " I " thank my physicians," she said, " for their kind intentions: " they mean nothing but what is right; but they do not nn- " derstand my character. They think that it agitates me to " talk of death: they are mistaken; to me, who have little " pleasure in the past, and no prospect of future tranquillity " in this life, it is a pleasure to contemplate my approaching " death; and why may I not speak what I feel ?" All these observations were made with such a sweetness of manner and calmness of tone, as to make an impression never to be effaced from the minds of those who were present. The flight between Monday and Tuesday was passed without sleep, owing, it is believed, to that restless anxiety which usually accompanies the process of mortification. On Tuesday afternoon, about one, she again sent for Mr. Wilde and Dr. Lushington, and again conversed on her usual topics. Alluding to the few friends who had remained constant to her to the last, and for whom she expressed the most grateful regard, she took occasion to observe, that her adversaries had put in practice two modes of separating worthy people from her society: one was to deter them from visiting her by propagating the most atrocious calumnies against her and them: the second was, when they saw her surrounded by persons of honor, to endeavour by anonymous letters, and all means in their power, to poison her mind against them, in order to induce her to break with them. " Against the " first mode of attack," said her Majesty, " I could have no " help: the second plan I soon detected, and therefore de- " feated." She then alluded to the practice of opening the body after death, and said that she saw no occasion for the operation in her case, and wished it not to be done. She then begged that she might not be made a show of after her death. " There has been," she observed smilingly, " quite " enough of that in my lifetime; besides, there are persons " who kept aloof from me when alive, who may have no " objection to sec me when dead, and there is no good reason " for satisfying their curiosity." She then again adverted with great regret to her inability to bestow adequate compensations on her servants, or remembrances on her friends; but said their services and kindnesses were deeply written on her heart. Mr. Wilde then left her for some time. About four o'clock an access of fever came on, which operating on a frame already almost exhausted, produced for a short time a greater exultation of spirits than she had yet manifested: during this period she expressed herself with more vehemence of manner, but still with the same forbearance of language, touching the cruel conspiracies of her inveterate foes: but the fever soon subsided, and she recovered her usual gentle tone, her usual calm and firm demeanor: she was again all resignation to the will of God. A drowsiness then came on, which lasted till nearly eight o'clock; when she suddenly awoke, and observing by her bed- side Dr. Holland, who, during her illness, had often expressed a hope of her recovery, said ™ ith a smile and accent of the greatest sweetness," Well, " my dear Doctor, what do you think now?" Her Majesty soon afterwards became insensible, but remained alive for above two hours, shewing by her breathing a vigor of the lungs and of the heart which the physicians said exceeded any case they had ever witnessed. At length, at twenty- five minutes past ten, her heroic and persecuted spirit fled to the region of truth, and justice, and peace. The anguish of her friends, the agony of her servants, we have before described; and have only to add, that the physicians betrayed emotions of grief not often seen among the professional attendants of a death- bed. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF IIER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN CAROLINE. Her Majesty was the second daughter and fifth child of the late Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick Wolfenbuttle, by the Princess Augusta, . daughter of his Royal I § Highness the late Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, and 1 sister of our late revered and most gracious Sovereign King M George III. The Princess was considered by the Court and S the People of England as a most desirable match for his f| Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The marriage of their Royal Highnesses, after a short riegociation, took place on the 8th of April, 1795, in the presence of the Roval Family and of the principal Nobility in the kingdom. Nothing could be more magnificent than tlie celebration of these nuptials, nor more touching than the joy which all classes of the people testified on the occasion; addresses poured in from every part of the country to congratulate the Royal couple on their union; and when in a few months afterwards it was understood that the Princess was in a fair way to give an heir to the tjiroiie, the happiness of the people was lit its height. - THE NEWS. .. - it But short was the space in which England could congratulate herself on the union which promised to be so auspicious. Within a very few months alter the Royal nuptials, domestic differences arose, of what nature we cannot distinctly slate, and wo do not wish to repeat the scandalous rumors of the day, but they were probably of that trivial kind that might have been easily accommodated, had her Royal Highness been properly advised; but she had no kind maternal friend to offer advice or assistance, for a circumstance had unhappily occurred which lost her the regard of a high personage, whose influence with the Prince was very great. These unhappy differences, from whatever cause they sprung, terminated in a separation within three months after the birth of the lamented Princess Charlotte, which happened on the 7th January, 1796. The Princess of Wales became the inhabitant of a separate establishment on Blackheath. During her residence here her Royal Highness formed an acquaintance with Sir John and Lady Douglas, who were her constant associates. After a lapse of some time her Royal Highness was informed of circumstances which induced her to decline the connexion, which laid the foundation of what is known by the name of the Delicate Investigation," and the disclosure of occurrences which ought never to have escaped the portal of domestic privacy. But though the Princess was cleared of the charge imputed to her by two successive commissions of the Cabinet Council, and subsequently by her Sovereign and Uncle, her domestic disquietude was not removed; she was still an exile from Court, her intercourse with her daughter restricted, and her actions as closely watched as ever. She adopted the resolution of seeking comfort abroad, and accordingly, in the year 1814, the Princess quitted England. The circumstances attending her residence on the continent are too voluminous even to admit of a satisfactory analysis, and too recent in the recollection of our readers to require enumeration. The same observations apply to the interval from her Majesty's return to England, in June twelvemonth, to the commencement of her malady, which terminated in her dissolution on Tuesday night, of which melancholy event the details occupy a large portion ® f this day's publication. . Her Majesty was born on the 17lh ef May, 1768, and died on the 7th of the present month, at the age of 53 years, 2 months, and 21 days. There have been many conjectures as to the immediate cause of her Majesty's illness. We have every reason to believe, from a multitude of inquiries we have made, that, independent of the general stale of suspense and agitation in which her Majesty may naturally be supposed to have passed her time since her last arrival in England, the circumstance attendant on her visit to tbe scene of the Coronation, on the morning of the 19th July, may have materially contributed to bring on that crisis which terminated in her dissolution. On that eventful day her Majesty, very thinly attired, and almost with the first dawn of a dull and chilly morning, set out in an open carriage from Brandenburghhouse on hor way to Westminster, with feelings more easilyimagined than described. The reception she there met with has been already fully and faithfully detailed in this Journal. But it was very evident to her personal attendants that, notwithstanding all that had passed, she had still calculated upon being received as became her high station, and that she suffered the deepest disappointment in consequence. Thenceforward her Majesty became more than ordinarily thoughtful and melancholy; her state of mind at times approached even to despondency, and she was frequently indisposed slightly. We shall mention two circumstances as illustrating her Majesty's conscious innocence, and the sweetness of her disposition. On the Saturday preceding her death, when her professional advisers were talking with her respecting her worldly affairs, one of them suggested the propriety of sending a messenger to Italy to seal up her papers, to prevent their falling into the hands of her enemies. " And what if they do ?" exclaimed her Majesty, " I have no papers that " they may not see: they can find nothing, because there is " nothing, nor ever has been, to impeach my character."— Her legal adviser said he was perfectly aware of that; but he could not but believe that her enemies might put there what they did not find. She replied, that she had always defied " their malice, and she defied it still." The other anecdote shews how careful she whom almost all parties and persons had in turn wounded was of wounding the feelings of others. To amuse herself she was generallyoccupied two or three hours of a morning in committing to a diary various reflections on the events of the preceding day, and as she had a relish for humor, she had ( as she herself asserted) sometimes indulged herself with recording any peculiarity of character that forced itself on her notice. Her Majesty said that the sole purpose of this journal was to whiie away a few hours of time that sometimes hung rather heavily, and that the purpose having been answered, it was now proper to destroy the book, especially as, though written with no such intention, it might cause pain where she should grieve to produce any thing but pleasure. She therefore ordered Mariette Brune to burn the diary, and the girl aceordirigly burnt it. Those who knew the tact, the unerring sagacity, with which her Majesty appreciated the characters of people almost at first sight, with the singular point and spirit of ber phraseology, will regret the destruction of this manuscript as a serious loss; but all will admire the delicacy of mind which dictated its destruction. The following anecdbte further illustrates her Majesty'; kind disposition, and the complacency with which she regarded the termination of her life:— 1The Queen told the domestics that attended her on Sunday last, that she wished Mr. Busch to come to measure her for her coffin: she asked again if he was come; the servants made excuses; she told them he must " make the shell of cedar wood. Mr. Busch had done a little work for her in cedar wood ( a bookcase), at Connaught- place, before she left England, and lately she gave him an order to make a writing- desk of cedar wood, an exact copy of one she had bought at the late Duke of Kent's sale: this was made, and when finished, sent to her house in South Audley- street; and she ordered the one bought at the Duke of Kent's to be sent to Mr. Aldprman Vtrood, because she had heard that he had given an order to Mr. Denew, the auctioneer, to purchase the desk, as he was anxious to have it as a relic of the Duke of Kent, having seen him frequently writing at it. This was 12 months ago, and Mr. Alderman Wood had never thought of it, until she sent the desk. But this was her Majesty's disposition ; she was always planning to do some kind act. Mr. Busch was sent for, and has made the shell." It seems to be the wish, in a certain quarter, to hurry the Queen's funeral as much as possible, partly that it may not interfere with the King's intended visit to Hanover, and partly perhaps to give the people of England no time to prepare any mark of respect to the illustrious deceased. The people, however, are on the alert, and it is expected that the Committee who managed the procession to Saint Paul's will make proper arrangements with the various parishes of the metropolis for some mode of testifying their last respect to their Queen. It is supposed that a voluntary procession, more honorable than millions of hired mourners, will accompany the corpse some considerable portion of the way to Harwich. The Corporation of London w ill no doubt form part of this solemn cortege. It is calculated that the procession will be three days going to Harwich ; and it is proposed that an escort of cavalry shall go with the hearse to the place of embarkation, when a guard of honor will be sent on board the ship to accompany the body to its final destination. The executors will attend the closing scene. On the arrival of the ofders of the Privy Council at the Lord Chamberlain's office, despatches were transmitted by the Council for the return of Mr. Mash and others from Ireland, to attend to the preparations for the mourning to be worn by the Royal Family's servants. Several persons have called at Brandeiiburgh- house and expressed a wish to see the remains of her Majesty, but in compliance with her Majesty's wish, " Not to be made a show of," it was thought proper to refuse the applicants their request. On the day upon which her Majesty honored Drury- lane Theatre with her presence, she was more than usually unwell, and her confidential attendants strenuously endeavoured to prevail upon ber not to visit the theatre. Her Majesty, however, said she did not like to cause disappointment to a single individual, and she was determined to go. Towards evening she appeared still more indisposed, but this did not alter her purpose. Shortly before she left home she took a considerable quantity of warm water, with the usual effect, and she seemed much better. The ride to the theatre, however, appeared to discompose her, and on her return she was worse than the had been before, and the symptoms of disease from that time hourly gained ground. It has been stated that her Majesty on the day before that on which she died sat up for some time in an arm chair.— This is quits true, but the circumstances attending that seemingly trivial occurrence have not been made public. They are interesting. Her Majesty in tbe course of that day mentioned to her attendants a favorite dress which she had worn upon some very particular occasion, and expressed a strong wish to have it put on, and to sit up for a short time. The wish was promptly complied with. Her Majesty was attired in this dress, and placed in an easy chair, whereshe remained for some time, conversing cheerfully with those about her. The Royal Sufferer expressed her thanks in the sweetest manner for the ready attention shewn to her desires. An anxious observer of the state of her Majesty's mind in the latter melancholy period of her life, has transmitted to us the following remarks:— " She has fallen the victim of the most cruel and unrelenting persecution : she must have been more than woman, more than mortal, not to have felt her wrongs; she was a heroine, and suppressed them ; all but those who have an interest to say otherwise, must believe and affirm that she literally died of grief; for the disease which brought her to the grave was occasioned by the suppression of sorrow.— Apparently ehe was ever the gayest of the company, the life of the house she made so happy, by her kindness and affability. She would not that even her friends, her dearest friends, should know how much she suffered; but it is difficult always to deceive the anxious eye of affection and devoted friendship; and those who'were most with her, and knew her best, saw with pain that her spirits were all forced — that her gaiety was not that of the heart— that she suffered moat deeply, and felt all her wrongs with the most bitter anguish, the more heart- rending that she would not admit the sympathy of friendship, for she would never own her grief; yet, sometimes, when to a casual observer she appeared to be fully engaged at any amusement she was fond of; when she seemed the most free from care or thought, those who watched her every look with the anxious eye of devoted attachment and fidelity, have seen the tear of silent agony steal down her cheek when she thought no one was near who could observe that the Queen of England wept at the cruelty of her malignant enemies. Few things during the last year of her trials and sufferings gave her so much pain as the circumstance of her refusal to accept of the grant from Parliament. She had originally determined in her own mind to accept it, as the first gracious act of the Sovereign towards her ; but she was otherwise advised, and she yielded" to that advice. But the severest blow to her feelings was tbe necessity which forced her for once to submit to retract what she had said; firm as she was of purpose and always decisive, to yield to her enemies inflicted a wound she never recovered ; and what gave more anguish still, was the thought that her enemies would in triumph exclaim " She had yielded." And for what? For money; which she cared not for; and which, at last, she only accepted to enable her to pay her debts; for, at the moment she agreed to accept the money from Parliament, she had not 101. in the house to defray the common expenses of the day, and nothing at her banker's. She expected that, on her agreeing to take the grant, Government would have given her a house and some outfit for her establishment, when she would have paid all her debts and have been quite satisfied as to pecuniary affairs, for she never valued money for her own personal gratification. Instead of this, they deducted upwards of 4,0001. which they had paid for a carriage and house- GRAVESEND.—" Wednesday the melancholy news of the death of our much- injured and deeply- lamented Queen reached this town about 10 o'clock ; and, with a feeling whiclueflects the highest honor on the inhabitants of the place, the shops are now shut, the flags on the M ships are half mast high, and but one common sentiment of reverence for the memory of the persecuted, and indignation against the persecutors, pervades the minds of till. There can be no doubt that the event, for which the hearts of the people are now clothed in mourning, was accelerated by the meanness and rancor of that spirit of persecution with which the late illustrious deceased was pursued, from the time of her landing, up to the very moment of her dissolution, in this country; and she has lately been heard to say, that however conscious of her own innocence, which she has again and again protested in the most solemn manner before Heaven, she must sink beneath the load of the cruelties and indignities with which she was daily treated. Her support was indeed in the generous sympathy of the people; " but times there were in which even this failed to impart its wonted consolation, and she wept bitterly at the desertion and ingratitude of those who were her former friends, and who, for worldly aggrandizement, were now more venomous to her than the poison - of a serpent. The conduct displayed to her late Majesty by the present men in power sinks immeasurably low the characters of public men, and makes us, as Englishmen, feel ashamed and disgusted, The Queen is no more, and of her innocence ninety- nine in every hundred of the people are convinced; and when they shall hear of the, spirit and of the piety with which she supported herself on the eve of her departure, whilst their pity and admiration will be increased, their murmurs and indignation will be aroused against her inhuman and unchristian defamers. She is now in a situation in which she is unaffected by the regrets of the one, or the infamy of fhe other; and if there be in Heaven mercy for the oppressed and innocent, she is now enjoying it from that God whose judgments are not as man's, but equitable and righfeUus!" It is rather singular that the Expenditure of the East India Company about equals the Expenditure of the Government of Great Britain. On Sunday last, the primitive Methodists, otherwise called Ranters, held a camp- iueeting on Cocktield- frfl. Two females, two itinerant preachers, spoke to the people assembled, whom it is supposed amounted to 5,000.— Durham Chronicle. A petition to Parliament Is, we understand, in progress from the persons habitually serving as jurors . in the city of London, praying a revision of the criminal code, with a view to mitigate tlie severity thereof. We hope that this example will be followed by the persons serving as j u r o r s throughout the'several circuits iu England and Ireland. We are informed, with great gravity, that Sir John Sewell has withdrawn himself as a candidate for tho representation of the University of Oxford, until another vacancy. Could the President of the Constitutional Association indulge a hope of success? The most Highchurch Toryism would pause at a coalition between Oxford University and Walker's Hotel. The late General Scott, so celebrated for his success in gaming, was one evening playing very deep with the Count d'Artoisapd the Dufcede Chartres, at Paris, when a petition was brought up from the widow- of . i French officer, stating her various misfortunes, and praying relief., A plate was handed routid, and each put in one, two, or three louis- d'ors; but when it was held to the General, who was going to . throw for a stake of 500 louis- d'ors, hi; said, " S t o p a moment if yob please, Sir ; here goes for the widow!" The throw wits successful, and he instantly swept rtie whole into the plate, and sect it down to her, 2- 52 T H E NEWS. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF HSil MAJESTY, QUEEN CAROLINE. [ Continuedfrom, preceding page.] Iler Majesty felt her life so great a burden, owing to the continued persecutions of her malignant enemies, that she courted death tbe moment she saw him advancing to her relief. When, on the Friday previous to her dissolution, a delicate intimation was given to heron the propriety of making her will, she seemed to hail with joy a hint which is universally hailed with terror with her usual quickness she caught up the idea before it was half expressed, and said; " 1 understand you perfectly; " lam quite ready— send for my lawyersShespeut two or three hours in calmly and deliberately giving instructions for the will, and after signing it with a firm and unhesitating hand, exclaimed with a cheerful smile, " There, now I am ready lo die." Iler Majesty on the Sunday expressed a wish to receive the sacrament, but the clergyman of the parish being restrained by ecclesiastical rules from performing this solemn office without previously Consulting his principal, tlie sacred cere- - moiiy was postponed till the next day : her Majesty was laboring under the effects of medicine when the Minister called on Monday, and he departed with the intention of attending on Tuesday; but then, on account of her Majesty's severe relapse, it was thought inexpedient t6 disturb her. As a proof of that suppressed grief which we have mentioned as the- great cause of her Majesty's illness, we can state ou authority, that many nights previous to the last attack, her Majesty had no sleep. The female attendant who slept iu the room noticed her restlessness, but her Majesty, with a disdain that was natural to herof weak aud useless complaining, never mentioned the circumstance. A few hours, however, before her death, she observed to a faithful female attendant, " The doctors do nol understand my ma- " lady: it is here ( laying her hand upon her heart): " hut I will he silent: my lips shall never make it ". known: injustice and cruelty have triumphed.". It was understood that the Will of her Majesty was to be opened on Friday evening, and at nine o'clock, Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde, two of the executors, came to Brandenburgh- house in a carriage together, for that purpose. The family of Mr. Alderman Wood arrived about seven o'clock, and remained at the house. The Alderman had been at the house the whole of the day. Lieutenant- Flinn- arrived shortly after the family of Mr. Alderman Wood. Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, and Mr. Austin, were present, By her Majesty's Will she directs that Cambridgehouse shall be sold, and the purchase- money paid to Mr. William- Austin— it being confidently expected by her legal advisers that she had an equitable claim on Government to provide her a house, ' i'he first instalment on tbe purchase had been paid by her Majesty— and the two next, amounting to 12,000!, are guaranteed by the house of Messrs. Ransom and Co. Her claims under the Will of her mother, the Duchess of Brunswick, whatever they may amount to, she also leaves to Mr. William Austin, and she makes him her residuary legatee. She directs a sealed box, which she describes, to be transmitted ta a merchant in the City, to whom she owed 4,5001. It is supposed to contain her diamonds. She bequeaths 5001. each to Lord and Lady Htiod. She leaves a picture of herself to Lady Anue Hamilton, one to the Marquess Antaldi, one to Signor Felici, and one to Mr. William Austin. She leaves to Dr. Lushington her coach and a picture. She leaves to Hieronymus her harouchette and her Jinen— and to the sister of Deinont all her wearingapparel. Her Italian property is not alluded to, as that was previously settled by a notarial deed. Siie directs . that her body shall not be opened— nor laid in state— and that she should be buried by the side of her father and brother at Urunswick. The body to be sent off in three days. The following inscription to be engraved on her toinb- stobe. To the Memory of Caroline of Brunswick, the injured Queen of England." There are two Codicils to the Will, containing tokens of affection to her domestics. the Board of works, for the purpose the leadeu coffin in which the cedar si The Queen wa3 put in a cedar coffin on Thursday night about ten o'clock. It was lined with white satin cushions. A lead coffin was also ready, but the inclosing it in that was deferred till Friday evening. The Queen expressed a desire to be removed very soon, and the- Government are anxious to get the remains away. Mr. Holroyd, attended by some of his men, repaired on Friday evening to Braudenburgh- house, by order of ose of soldering down shell containing the royal corpse is placed. The melancholy task was performed in the presence of Mr. Alderman Wood and some of her Majesty's upper domestics, who thus took thenlast view of their beloved mistress. ' I'he body, we aretold, had not undergone so great a change as might hare been expected from the nature of her Majesty's disorder. The feature* still bore considerable resemblance to the placid yet dignified Icol; f o r which ia life j they were remarkable. After the body was thus for ever shut from human eye, a black pall was thrown over tbe coffin. It was intended that it should be removed yesterday into tbe dining- hall, which is to be hung with iihick, as are also the passages between that and the door, at the entrance from Hammersmith. Notwithstanding these preparations, it is not, a* we are told, 1 intended that tlie rtyal corpse should be laid in state. Such an arrangement would, we have rca; on to believe, he contrary to tie expressed wishes of her Majesty on this point. Ou Faiday morning an interview took place at the Home Department Office, between Sir George Nayier, of the Heralds* College, and Mr. Hobhouse, the Under Secretary of State, for the purpose of making some necessary preparations, and issuing orders - for regulating the procession on the removal- of- her Majesty's body from town to Harwich. Mr. Thomas, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, aud Mr. Bailey, of the house of Bailey and Sanders, . his Majesty's cabinet- makers and upholsterers, subsequently had an interview with Mr. Hobhouse, and it was determined to proceed with the funeral preparation only as far as would be requisite, whether his Majesty should decide that her MajestyV remains should, be interred either at Windsor or Brunswick. THO external coffin will be conveyed to Brandenburgh- Houso, nil Monday morning, by which time the most positive orders have been given by his Majesty's Government to the different Departments, under whose direction the preparations for the funeral processions are making, to hare every thing ju readiness for its departure for Hariv- ich.. The coffin is now completely finished, except that the plate is not fastened on the lid. Tho plate was sent to the Undertaker's last night: it is very large and massive, about a quarter of an inch in thickness, gilt aud burnished, .

At four o'clock on Friday afternoon, Dr. Lnshington arrived at Bra ndenburgh- house; but a messenger had previously come there from Mr. Wilde; requesting an immediate interview with the Learned Doctor, at his house in town, and he returned London, after a stay of a few minutes only. Several persons have been with Mr. Alderman Wood, expressing every wish to shew their respect by attending in parties or in bodies of horsemen. The Gentlemen- who composed the Horse Committee that attended her late Majesty to St. Paul's, met on Fri day evening, at six o'clock, at the Freemasons'Tavern, Greet Queen- street, to make the necessary arrangements for shewing their unabated attachment to the Illustrious Individual whose death is so universally lamented. Friday moruing the following Requisition was signed by a number of tiie most respectable Inhabitants of Hammersmith: '•' We, the undersigned Inhabitants of this hamlet, request that you will forthwith cali a public Meeting, to consider of the best means of evincing the respect of the Inhabitants at large fur the Memory of her most gracious Majesty, the ' Queen Consort of George the Fourth. " To Mr. Jue. Gomme, Churchwarden of Hammersmith. It is intended, we understand, by the gentlemen with whom this- requisition originated, to propose to the meeting, that a subscription be immediately collected, for the purpose of erecting a monument to her Majesty, with an appropriate inscription, upon the site where the pump at present stands iu the broadtvay. This rnouu merit to be of considerable elevation, and capped by a bust of the Queen, to be executed by one of our first artists. The authors of the requisition calculate that their example will be universally followed, and that measures will bo adopted in every district in the country to commemorate the sufferings and the virtues of this Illustrious Female.

LAMENTED DEATH OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN CAROLINE. - In the preceding columns of our paper will be found a faithful account of the last iSness, and of the manner of the decease of CAROLINE, Queen of England. We do not know of any tale that belongs to truth or fiction, more formed to touch honest hearts, aud inflame gcoerous tempers, than this history. Upon a sudden, a scene of inexpressible horror is unveiled before us. We had beheld a malignant persecution besetting a woman, through the greater part of her life. In that being1, rendered interesting by her sex, her rank, and her sufferings, we had seen an unexampled courage unceasingly opposed to the vile attack. That courage was loved and admired by a brave people; aud we too readily forgot, that sensibility of the tenderest sort usually accompanies the- moral energies displayed by our beloved Q U E E N .— We now are suddenly awakened to the conviction, THAT SHE DIED OP A BROKEN HEART 1 Many are the affecting passages of this melancholy narrative. But this fearful truth, that the QUEEN died the victim of the sorrows which preyed upon her, places itself pre- eminently before us. Even the tongue of the worst of her enemies would falter, if it attempted to deny that fact. The sin of her death hangs upon Hugland ; and the purest mind will await the result, with fear and anxiety. Providence bus shewn great mercies to this country. In despight of the rapacity and ignorance of our Nobles., and other great land- owners, provisions have become cheap, and almost instantaneously; as if the Supreme Being would shew, that He would put forth his hand to save the laboring classes from starving, and ( for thoir sake) to give revived life to our manufactures, ' i'he same gracious Power may touch the hearts of Iter MAJESTY'S principal enemies. They may, even yet, humble themselves, and so avert the evils which must otherwise, iu accompanying their punishment, fall upon this unhappy land. Bat without this miracle, we cannot expect to see this great sin pass without punishment here, in this world, and before the day of general aud final retribution shall come. . But let us turn from a contemplation of punishment ( which is always afflicting to the gooif) to the QUEEN'S chamber of death. And that is not without its consolations to us, and to all who lorrd her. The first of this is, A COMI'LETL CONVICTION OP HER INNOCENCE. Every word she uttered, every anxious thought which escaped her, were the produce of a virtuous and noble mind, utterly incapable of the depravity ascribed to her by her enemies. The half unwillingness to forgive the calumnies heaped upon hor ( which will be seen in some of her dying words, aud will be pardoned), was uo other than the iuroluutary and unconquerable resentment of belied innocence. Yet she did forgive ( excepting in transient anger) with true greatness of iniud. We invite our Readers togo back to what she did and said, relaLire to the wretch IJemont. Can any sane person look at that, and believe those words and actions were, fake and dissembled ; aud false and dissembled, in that hourr! There is this irresistible proof of the QUEEN'S innocence ever before us— that her mind was made up of the finest qualities which adorn human nature, or she must have been a worse woman than the vilest pages of history have handed down to us. We do not insult our Readers by retracing the disgusting scenes of her PROSECUTION. But the honeet among them, Will remember innumerable and indelible proofs of her innocence, in every step of her conduct during its progress. This last, this death- bed evidence, is not to be resisted but by extreme hardness of heart and malignancy of temper. Some of the QUEEN'S friends have gone so far us to say, they could forgive her ( seeing her provocations) if she hud been guilty. So could every considerate persoa. But that if ( which, for arguments' sake, was put on an extreme and iuipo » - I siWe supposition) is now to He struck out, and obliterated, for ever. No one wilt ever doubt again of the QUEEN'S entire innocence, but the profligate debauchee who scarcely believes in his own mother's honesty. Although it is evident that her MAJESTY'S mind, in her last moments, was deeply engaged in contemplating her long series of sufferings ( or, to speak more correctly, that her death was tbe direct consequence of ker hidden wounds), yet nothiug escaped her attention tliat belonged to a generous heart to remember. She could cot cast her eye upon her faithful dependents, without the most anxious concern for their welfare, and regret at her inability to serve them. This last tenderness for those around her, was a portion of that kiud spirit which parvaded her life, and gave a color to some of the accusations of her enemies. Wherever we turn our eyes, during this illness, we see nothing that does not claim our admiration and respect, W « behold a noble, generous, and brave heart, bruised to death beneath the blows of a relentless and neverceasing persecution. " My enemies ( she said) have " been for years plotting and conspiring to destroy me: " at last, THEY HAVE DESTROYED ME; but I " forgive them. I die in peace with all mankind."— No passage in history affords more cause for admiration, more regret for the loss of the object of it, than that. Let her enemies be compelled to inscribe it on tablet ® , to be placed up in their closets; and, for the sake of this unhappy country, be this their only punishment! Although the whole tenor of these observations admits that QUEEN CAROLINE died of a broken heart, we do not the less claim the victory in lier behalf. The conqueror may receive a mortal wound, while he is exerting the prowess which hurls his enemies into the dust. His late MAJESTY, who had a nice and jealous sense of honor, acknowledged her innocence; and, during his life, cast the shield of his protection around her. A whole nation has repeatedly, as new persecutions appeared, proclaimed not only lier innocence, but her worth. A nation now mourns for her; and thousands contend for tbe sad but proud honor of attending her revered remains to the place where they will bid adieu to this land for ever. She lived to see her enemies, not only defeated but despised. There docs not exist one among them, who is esteemed by any man on earth that is not as tile as himself. We have seen a letter from Holyhead, of which the following is a copy. If this intelligence be correct, we eunfess we see no cause to censu. e the KING'S determi nation in this instance. His M A J I S T Y could not well abandon his visit to Ireland. The faithful and generous people of that country have shewn themselves worthy of every countenance and support which can be derived from the K I N G ' S presence. They have forgotten their grievances ( which have been without count) to express tlieir unfeigned loyalty. Their good- will cannot be oourted, cither by this country or its Sovereign, with too much zeal and sincerity:— " Ilotyhead, Thursday Evening, Six o'Chick. « The KINO'S Messenger has brought the melancholy intelligence of her MA JESTY'S dissolution. •• His MAJESTY'S yaoht is now preparing to get out of the harbour. The wind continues westerly, but the. agitation of the sea is abated. 1: is understood to be the K i x c ' s intention lo sail with the first wind for Dublin, but to land ir. tlie most private manner. possible. It is further said that hie MAJESTY, on his arrival in Ireland, will repair- immediately to tha Phoenix Park, near Dublin, where he will remain pritale uiilil after tter MAJESTY'Sfanurat. " Lord LIVERPOOL has juat arrived, and has. had a irritate interview with the S I N G ." Ths question of hostilities between RuSsla and the Porte appears to be still uncertain, if we may judge by the fluctuating intelligence contained in the Foreign Journals. We are assured, however, in letters from the Continent, that war between the above Powers is anavoidable. It is added, = that England will bluster, but will not moTe against Russia ; that France dare not march her - troops out of her own territories-; and that Austria will not oppose tbe Emperor ALKXAJtBER. Russia will commence the war in defiance of the Christians, against the oppression of the I'ottrE ; * od this pretence ( notwithstanding the known- ambitious desigr » of the Court of St. Petersburg!)) » > H wake - the cause 6£ Russia popular throughout Christendom. We have merely^ given the speculations of statesmen in foreign countries, respecting the probable result of the late wicked and outrageous scenes in Turkey, . It is stated from I'arrpa, that the Archduchess Maria Louisa and her Court were to go into mourning for Napoleon tor three months, comuicnciug the 25th ult. From the Foreign Journals it Is still not. easy to collect any thing more than that., in the language of an Odessa letter of July if, given in the Hamburgh Papers, " tbe political prospects are very variable" in that quarter. A statement of the 1st instant from Frankfort is to tbe effect, that the funds fell 2 per cent, at St. Petcrsburgh on the 17th ult.* in " consequence of the expected commencement of hostilities." We received on Friday Brussels Papers to Wednesday last. The following is the only article worthy selection :— " LILLE, AUG. 1.— Since the new organization of the army, all the corps which compose it are sueessively completing, and France will bo able to shew it with confideuce both to her friends and her enemies. The Royal Guard, 20,000 strong, is one of the finest corps iu Europe; its discipline is perfect, and the spirit which animates it excellent. The regiments of a'rtillery on foot., and on horseback, are complete, and the corps of cavalry receive by degrees the men and the horses which they want. A third of the regiments of infantry are complete, and the others will be so in the month of October. The Swiss regiments in the pay of France have received the men necessary to bring them to « heir full complement according to treaty. In a word, tbe army is becoming again formidable and respectable : all the friends of tlie honor of the country see with satisfaction, that tbe efforts of the Government are crowned with success." The French Papers sometimes give instances of heroic devotedness among the Greeks, male and female. The following trait of tbe sister of Prince Ypsilanti deserves to be recorded. She sent him for the public services, her dowry, amounting to 20,000- ducats, with a letter, in which she " declares, " that she would rather be a servant in Greece liberated, than a Princess in Greece enslaved." This savours of the female heroism of the ladies in ancient Sparta. Important advices were received on Friday from Mexico, by a vessel which sailed on the 9th ult. from Havannah. Col. Ho via, the commander of the Royalist troops, had been killed in an attempt to carry by storm a strong post near Puebia, held by tbe insurgents; and his fate bad struck so much terror into his troops, as to threaten the most fatal consequences to the Royal cause. Of the state of the interior no certain intelligence could be obtained, as the communications between Vera Cruz and Mexico were completely interrupted. The Governor of Vera Cruz had seut to Havannah for a reinforcement of troops, not considering bis garrison sufficiently strong to support fhe expected attack of the insurgents. The merchants and rich families of Vera Cruz were in the greatest alarm and confusiifn. Their whole property in goods and money, to an immense amount, was packed up ready to be shipped off for Havannah and other ports, on the approach of the insurgents. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 10.— In furtherance of the system of retrenchment by Government, now so activelygoing on, this morning orders were received at the Dock- yard, that in future the working- days were to be only five in the week, and that the gates and doors of every department should be closed on Friday night, and not re- opened until Monday morning. The different persuns employed in the yard amount to about 3,500, and'the saving to the public will- be nearly 0001. per week. The same system, we understand, is to be pursued at the other Royal Yards. We may therefore calculate, that the saving will be considerably above 50,0001. a- year.

DREADFUL SllIlWRECK. EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE L E T T E E . ) • " LIVERPOOL, AUG. y.—' The HurlMoira. packet, for Dublin, sailed from this last night, about fix o'clock, with tbe wind directly contrary, and blowing strong. The vessel was beating out, when, about eight o'clock, she struck, and went on shore on the - Wharf Rank. Tiie Moira lay quite upright until about 5 o'clock this morning, when tiie tide making, a scene commenced which it is impossible to describe. The waves made a complete breach over the vessel, and death stared tbe whole of the unfortunate crew and passengers in the face ; their destruction appeared inevitable. " The life- boat from lloylakc, and two boats from Liverpool, succeeded in saving the lives of thirty passengers aud part of the crew. " The number of passengers who embarked in the Moira is not exactly known, but is supposed that it could not be less than two hundred. No f urther particulars are yet known." ( Further particulars from the Chester Chronicle.) A most heart- rending account lias just reached us, which we shall rejoice in being enabled to contradict in a second edition ; but although we have received no details of the circumstances, we are apprehensive the melancholy intelligence is too true. The Earl Moira packet left Liverpool on Wednesday, with upwards of 150 passengers, many of tho highest respectability, onboard, for Ireland; when out at sea, owing to some accident not yet known, whether owing to mismanagement, or to the winds, she ran on a rock, and instantly sunk; all on board are said to have perished, with the exception of a few who escaped in a boat. • Six o'clock.— We have just seen tbe Guard cf the Liverpool Mail, and he fully confirms, in part,- the preceding melancholy tidings. The vessel left Liverpool by last night's tide, with a fair wind. She had scarcely cleared the river, when she was run- on,* bank off Hoylake, when she was capsized, and a great number of passengers on board, most of whom were going to Dublin, to see his Majesty, were drowned ! We have received a second. edition of Gore's Liverpool | Paper; it contains- the; following particulars:—" it is with feelings of poignant. regret, that we rccord an accident of the most disastrous kind. The Iloylake life- boat has just arrived, full of passengers, saved from the wreck of the Earl Moira, which sailed last, niglit for Dublin, and which - was lost early this morning ( Thursday) on the Wharf Batik, near Hoy lake, Tbe number lost cannot be i ccurately stated : it is reported at from o0 to - 10. F U R T H E R PARTICULARS.— It appears the paol et was working out of the river with a head wind, blowing fresh ; it was about nine o'clock when she struck on a bank between Mock Beggar and Hoy lake, on the Cheshire shore, and was almost immediately capsized. There were 45 cabin passengers, most of whom it is supposed perished. The master and all hands, with the exception of tbe steward, were drowned. Almost all the passengers belowdeck perished; many of the others took refuge in the rigging, where tlley remained all night; and from 50 to 00 were taken up this morning by the Hoykike life- boat. One of the passengers, a lady, died almost as soon as she was rescued from the wreck. A horse belonging to the Earl of Portarlington contrived to get ashore. The vessel struck within half a mile of the Shore. We extract the following fine passages on the subject of the Queen's death, from that intelligent and powerful writer, WILLIAM COBBKTT:— " DEATH OP HER MAJESTY TUB Q U E E N . — T h is most melancholy event took place at twenty- five minutes past ten o'clock : an event more heart- rending never was iieard of in this world. Death, the lot of us all, is not, under common circumstances, calculated to excite, in reflecting minds, any very great degree of grief, except the object be somewhat closely connected with us'by ties of personal affection ; but, at tbe death of this persecuted and oppressed, this cruelly- treated, this unfortunate lady, whose wrongs and whose sufferings are so notorious and so far surpassing in magnitude any tiling of the kind that historians have recorded or poets feigned ; at tbe fall of this open- hearted, affectionate, generous and gallant ladv, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, who is there, worthy of the name of man, who can restrain the throbbings of bis heart? Brutal, savage, indeed, must be the breast that does not here yield to the feelings of'compassion and of sorrow; detested be, as detestable are, those who have not a tear to let fall on her.- untimely grave. As to the immediate physical causes of this " event, they are, comparatively, of little interest, seeing that, w hen all the circumstances arc taken into view, it is impossible to resist the conviction of her having falleu a victim to that disappointment, that chagrin, that cruel mortification, those intolerable . indignities, to which Jler Majesty lias recently been exposed, and tbe endurance of which was too much for that susceptible heart, which has, at last, bursted iu the trial. That heart which could bear up against so many, such poignant and such long lasting afflictions; that heart which could fearlessly conduct its owner to tbe bod- tide of the plague to administer to the preservation, of tbe afflicted; that heart which inspired seamen with courage to pass the straights, tlie dangers of which are proverbial throughout the world; that heart which felt no fear, when even sailors trembled ; that heart, which, spurning . at proffered security- mid ease, said, ' to England, for there I'll face wy foes ;' that intrepid heart was not a match for the insult o fie red it by the lips of a common Boxer, turning his Queen from the door of tbe Temple containing the tombs of her Ancestors ; and especially when that Queen, so recently and so gallantly . supported by ths. nation, saw little or no indication uf . popular indignation excited by the unparalleled indignity. -. This was the shaft that found its way into that h& art which had beSn proof against more and greater dangers than ever ibeiasccd any other human being." .254 THE NEWS. sedition, whose industry could have but one intelligible motive, will have no cause for gratulation. Her death REDUCTIONS IN THE A U J I V . — W e are n o w aWe to state, in an authentic manner, the intended reductions in the army. Two Regiments of Cavalry are to be disbanded, vii. the 18th and 19th Light Dragoons. Twotroops are to be reduced in each' of the remaining regiments. Two companies are to be reduced in each of the battalions of Fopt Guards and Infantry of the Line.— The whole reduction will amount to about twelve thousand, officers and men.— Courier. The death of her Majesty will produce a considerable change in the situation at the Bar of Messrs. Brougham and Denman, her Attorney and Solicitor- General. A sense of equity will, however, we should think, induce those who have the power to confer on them professional honors, which may prevent them from being thrown back to their former position, and thereby suffering in their practice. While the great body of the people of England,— who sympathised with the misfortunes of her Majesty, condemned the proceedings against her, and rejoiced at her acquittal,— now lament the melancholy termination of her existence, many of the instruments of her p'er- ' elligtl r dea has, in fact, deprived them of" Held for the display of their zeal, possessed of peculiar advantages.— John Bull honestly confessed on Sunday last, that the illness of her Majesty had. deprived his columns of the subject which chiefly gave life to them, and he hoped his readers would on that account forgive his dullness.— Several other Journals, more or less in the same line, adopted in like manner an altered tone, though without a similar frankness of avowal. The Courier alone, from a stern sense of public duty no doubt, to which like another . Brutus, he felt it ' necessary to sacrifice every thing like charity, humanity, or even the appearance of decency, brandished his scourge with a more than wonted fierceness, when the arm of men of less determined spirit was unnerved, and in the same number in which he announced that her Majesty's life was thought in great danger, published one of the most vulgarly abusive libels against her which has ever yet seen the light. He was resolved not to abandon the " painful task," which, he tells us, he has had " during the last twelvemonth," like an ordinary laborer, liable to be affected by ordinary motives, but— having been set, by the pure dictates of conscience, 011 the Illustrious Sufferer— to cling to his charge till the last breath quitted her body. How far his duty will allow him to tread " lightly over the ashes of the dece:* ed," according to the recommendation of one of his fellow laborers, time will soon reveal. We see, however, it will cost him some struggles to do so. On Wednesday, at about half past two o'clock, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmorland, and Visct. Melville, had a meeting with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his house, in Downing- street. They continued in consultation about an hour, and then adjourned to the Secretary of State's office for the Home- Department to meet the Lord Chancellor. The assembly consisted of all the Cabinet Ministers in London. Mr. Hobhouse, the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, acts for Lord Viscount Sidmouth during his absence, his Lordship having, gone to Ireland. The deliberations of the Cabinet Ministers at the Home- office continued for half an hour. Soon after 4 o'clock, Air. Dykes, the King's messenger, left the Home- office to proceed to Ireland with despatches for the King. Sir. Thomas, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, attended on Wednesday at the Secretary of State's office, for the Home Department, and afterwards sent letters to the different theatres, in consequence of the death of the Queen, ordering them to close them on that night, and on tlie night of the funeral. We. also understood that J\ 1 r. Thomas went to Brandenburgh- house.— Court Circular. Among the recent emigrations to the Cape of Good Hope, we understand, is that of. Mr. Oliver, the Ministerial spy. The public may, perhaps, on the first blush, be disposed not merely to congratulate themselves that England is rid of Mr. Oliver, but to flatter themselves that the cause of his flight may be found in the unprofitable nature of his calling. We cannot leave our readers undisturbed in either of these enjoyments. Mr. Oliver still derives his bread from this country ; and it was for lack of advancement that he condescended to withdraw himself, not from the pressurerof want. The eminent person in question sailed from Ireland under the fictitious name of JONES, in a vessel called the Marianne Sophia. He was furnished with a letter of credit by Government, on a respectable house at the Cape, for the sum of one hundred guineas. In this colony we trace him filling the situation of first clerk in the Wharfinger's Office, and he is so announced ( under the above assumed name) in the Cape Calendar, with a salary or perquisites, or both, valued at 3001. per annum, lie expects, too, in addition, ihe Swrvenorship nf Woods and Forests, which will yield him annually 20( 11. more! Blackstone says, " Every man is, in judgment of law, party to making an Act of Parliament, being present thereat by HIMSELF or his REPRESENTATIVE." ( B. i. c. 2.) We should like to know how those unfortunate being- s who have already fallen a prev to the system pursued by late Parliaments, and the still greater numbers about to be offered up victims,, could, without a fiction of law, and a violation of every principle of justice, be said to have been present at the passing of those acts which bolstered up thai- system, cither in person or by their representatives; when, beside all that Lord Melcombe and Sir Nathaniel Wraxnll have disclosed in their works, and Lord Castlereagh has acknowledged in his speeches, it is a fact recorded on the Journals of that Rouse of Commons, THAT ABOUT TWO HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS, OUT OF THE CROSS POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY, SEND THERE, OR INFLUENCE, A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ! — B r i s t o l Mercury. •••'•'•'.

The parties in this cause are both of them journeymen cabinet- makers, in the employ of Mr. Vidler, of Salisbury, and the action was brought for the libellous matter contained in the following letter from the defendant to the plaintiff. It was directed to Mr. Saul, Chopperlane, and dated the 20th of April, 1821 :— " SIR,— Mark, learn, and inwardly digest those things which I intend to make known. respecting your conduct in the shop with regard to the monopoly and craft. I suppose vou hare not forgot the oak bookcases that were made there,, and the outcry about the stuff: you know what became of no small part, and so does I, and shall explain the matter to Mr. F., and I have no doubt that he will prescribe for your malady gratis, being an ould acquaintance and friend ; but if this should fail, there is a volley of small- craft, such as candles, fl v- rails, and such like craft in the basket: so now, Ould Honesty, you had best, I think, make the best of your way before you are exposed. I have seen those things, and can swear I saw them the last time I was at your house but one. I saw two tops, and mahogany pillar and claws. You know where they came from, and so does I, and » ut determined to expose the " rogue, so ' let him that think he siandeth take heed lest he fall."— Farewell." The letter had no signature, but it was proved to be in the handwriting of the defendant; but the sending the letter to the plaintiff not being a sufficient publication to support a civil action, a witness was called to whom the defendant shewed what he said was a copy of the letter. This, on being produced, was found not to correspond with the original, and the defendant's counsel insisted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited; but Mr. Justice B E S T held, that it was sufficiently like for the purpose of the action, and advised Mr. Sergeant Pell not to reply. He then charged the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 51. YORK. John Bcnnitt, aged 31, and William Beech, aged 22, were charged with having robbed , William Workman on tbe 21st of April last. Messrs. ALDERSON and MAUDE conducted the prosecution. Mr. J O N E S was for the prisoners. William Workman was chief constable of Strafford and Tickell, and clerk to the magistrates. He was at Doncaster on Saturday, the 21st of April, where he received publicly a good deal of money, nearly 7001. He left Doncaster at 9 o'clock, and had proceeded on horseback about 600 yards, when he saw three men upon the road on foot, lie attempted to pass them, but they surrounded him; one eft them caught at the reins of his horse, which reared and turned round ; another, he believed Beech, with a large bludgeon struck him a heavy blow on the back; and the third pulled him off his horse. They beat him very much while op the ground. He cried out " Murder," and one of them put a handkerchief into his mouth to stifle his cries. Witness bit that person's finger, he believed, severely ; for after the handkerchief was taken out of his mouth, the man grasped his throat, and left marks of blood on his neckcloth. One of the men took his money out of his righthand pocket, and then they left him. In the stru, witness and one of the men had lost their hats, man turned back, and finding witness getting up he knocked him down again. He had previously torn the coat- sleeve of one of the men, he believed Beech. When they left him they ran across a field, leaving a handkerchief and two bludgeons behind them. There was something remarkable in the voice of one of the men, and on hearing Bennittspeak in the Town- ball of Doncaster he, recognized it as Ihe voice of the man who stuffed the handkerchief into his mouth. Cross- examined.— He was not alarmed, he had been too long in the cavalry ( yeomanry) for that. Samuel Downing, a coachman between Hull and Doncaster, took up Bennitt and another man on the day after Workman's robbery, and conveyed them to Hull on his coach. They were very shy in conversation, and left the coach before he got into Hull. Geo. Aranndale apprehended both the prisoners at Bennitt's house in Hull. Beech wore a bottle- green coat, torn on one of the cuffs. John Atkinson, gaoler at Doncaster, produced Beech's coat, he saw the footstep's in the field, and found that they, corresponded with Beech's shoe. Bennitt's finger was wounded. Cross- examined. A surgeon was sent for to look at Bennitt's finger. He is not here. John Earnshaw's mother keeps a public house in Doncaster. H « saw the prisoners in tiie house till 8 on the evening of the robbery.

In two letters, addresssed to eminent mercantile houses in the City, dated Odessa, 13th July, the writers enter into lengthened details respecting the present situation of Russia and Turkey, and both come to tho conclusion, that if a war should take place, it will not be immediate, neither Power being prepared for hostilities. It is stated in these important communications, that the Greeks have met with several decisive defeats in Moldavia and Walaphia,' and that In several instances they have been pursued to the frontiers of Russia. The following is an extract from one of these letters:—" There are 40* 0.00 Turks on the other side of the Pruth, and 30,000 Russians on this; the former profess peace, the latter gite no cause for hostilities. The Emperor Alexander, it is understood, is earnest f r peacj, and that it will continue is the general opinion here." The other letter we have alluded to is rather of a more warlike nature: and states the Russian force on the frontiers at nearly 200,000 men ; that General Wittgenstein had arrived at Odessa; that corn had risen considerably, on account of thereadv sale at Constantinople; and that no hostilities were expect ^ before the spring.

A young man, about 5 feet 10 inches in stature, who gave iiis name Camac Godfrey, was brought up by the watchmen in Fleet- street, charged with disorderly conduct. Gillespie, one of the watchmen, stated, that about eleven o'clock on the previous evening, a comrade told him that there was a man seated in his watch- box. He went there immediately, and found the prisoner seated at his ease in the box." He, of course, desired him to retire, which he politely declined : and at length, finding neither entreaty nor remonstrance of any avail, the complainant was compelled, wifli the assistance of a brother watchman, to force him out of the box. The prisoner, without any ill language, saiil he would give him some trouble for forcing him out, and crossing the way, immediately began breaking the windows of Mr. Kimp ton's shop," No. 156, Fleet- street, with a bundle which he held in his hand. In consequence, he secured him, and lodged him in the Compter. The prisoner, when asked by the Magistrate, Mr. Alderman VENABLES, what account be had to give of himself, advanced towards the front of the bar, bowed to the Magistrate, then assuming an attitude, commenced his address in the following words:—•" My name is Camac Godfrey; I will not now trouble you, Sir, with my unhappy and eventful story—' tis too long— indeed, so long, that if every word were a link, and Vulcan would condescend to forge them into a chain, the Master of the Gods might hold one end in bis hand, whilst Pluto lashed the rebellious ghosts in Tartarus with the other." This proem, and the theatrical tone and attitude in which it was delivered, alarmed the worthy Alderman for the length of tbe speech which was to follow i t ; and not having either leisure or inclination to listen at that time to a display ofthe histrionic art, he cut short the prisoner's oration by desiring him to come at once to the matter of fact relative to breaking the windows. The prisoner, having nothing to say upon that subject, placed his hand upon his bosom, bowed, as he would have done upon an interruption from an audience, and remained silent. In answer to the various questions of the Magistrate, the following account of himself was at length drawn from him:— He was born at Newry, where he had been in business for himself as a merchant, and where a brother whom he dearly loved still redded. He was unknown to any one in London but Messrs. Alexander and William Oailby, and Mr. O'Hanley, of Delahay- street, Westminster.' He had been in London but a short time, and had lodged last on Saffron- hill: from distress, however, he had been compelled to sleep latterly in the brick- fields, and for the last four days he had not tasted food. Being asked what had reduced him to this condition, he replied, a fancy for the stage had brought him to it, and that he did not even now care for his life, unless it could be passed in that profession. He was asked whether he had ever been on the stage; to which he replied yes, for three nights. He performed the part of the third monk, in the plav of Bertram. The theatrical directions for the character were, that he should enter breathless. In order to qualify himself, I therefore, for the proper performance of the character, he ran till be was out. of breath, and in that state made I his entree upon the stage. The Manager cried, " Don't j speak so fast, don't speak so fast." On this rebuff his I spirits sank, and he was unable to proceed with any prospect of success. He was also disgusted_ with the scantiness of the company and the meanness of their appointments, particularly in that play where Bertram says, " Draw your swords, ye valiant knights," and all the valiant knights there were, were only four low fellows in morning cloaks. This determined him to try the London stage, where merit, if he had any, might meet with due promotion. He had applied at the theatres, but without success. The character which he proposed to come out in, was that of the Centinel in Pizarro. The manner in which that character was at present performed, being, in his judgment, entirely contrary to military regulation, particularly in the manner in which tlie challenge is given to Rolla. From this criticism, it was suspected he had been in the army ; and, on inquiry, it turned out that he had been a private in the 48th regiment about 25 days, but his friends had bought him out. On examining his bundle, it was found to consist of numerous extracts from Lord Byron, Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, and some original compositions, which he modestlv confessed, were attempts of his own. Though the prisoner still declared that nothing could be done to serve him unless in the way of the profession to which lie was so strongly attached, he betrayed, with the exception of his first poetical flight, no symptoms of mental derangement, but gave his answers to the questions put to him in a very cool and proper manner. To the reality of his distress his attire bore ample testimony. Fie had neither shirt nor stockings; a fustian waistcoat with sleeves, a pair of trowsers, with shoes, constituted the whole of his dress. His appearance, notwithstanding, was cleanly and wholesome. The Magistrate treated- him with great humanity, and directed that he should be taken care of in the Compter, till some inquiry might be made respecting him, which may lead to his restoration to his friends. The prisoner, on hearing this determination, again repeated his theatrical bow to the Magistrate, and made his exit. MARLBOROUGII- STREET. Monday, a young ladv, neatly dressed, but evidently much deranged in her intellects, came ih't'a the'office with a bible in her hand, which was covered with her white handkerchief. Addressing the magistrate, she said that once she could boast of wealth and superior situation in society; but in consequence of some designing friends unjustly gaining possession of her property, which was cunsiderable, and refusing to deliver it up to her, she tonsidered herself most grossly abused. She referred to sev eral passages in the scriptures, which she held in her hand, and read them to the magistrate, who listened with great patience, to lO'ivince him " That, according to the prophets," she was entitled to her property, which was unjustly detained from her, and requested his Worship's interposition. Heing informed that such a case did not fall under the cognizance of that court, it seemed to offend her, and she intimated that she could compel them to interfere, and even in the event of their refusal, his Majesty would instantly recover her property, on being applied to. It was not" until an officer told her that her case required three magistrates, that she could be prevailed upon to quit the office. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 9.— On the arrival of the coaches last night we heard the melancholy intelligence of the death of her Majesty. The church bell was immediately muffled, and tolled for three hours this morning, and all the houses and shops are partially closed.— Tiie standard is hoisted half mast high on board bis Majesty's ship Queen Charlotte; tlie Admiral's flag is shifted to bis Majesty's ship Hamilies: the colors of ail the ships in the harbor, and at all the public establishments, are half staft' high, and every possible respect is paid to the memory of her Majesty. Orders are received for his Majesty's ships Glasgow, Tyne, and Rosario, to proceed to Harwich immediately, to be in readiness to convey her Majesty's remains to Cuxhaven with all due respect. A requisition has been presented to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, to request his Lordship to call an early court, for the purpose of testifying in a suitable manner their deep and mournful feelings upon the sudden and lamented death of her Majesty. His Lordship has appointed Tuesday next for holding a Court of Common Council. Fielding, in his " Journey from this World to the next," adopts the idea of the passage of the human soul from one body to another, until good or bad enough for a final sentence. Indulging this notion, we are sometimes led to ask ourselves strange questions ; as, for instance— Does any Judge exist at present who may have figured away formerly as Judge Jefferies; and, if so, what is his name ? Does any large town in the kingdom supply a regiment of troopers who may have flourished in days of yore as Kirlce's Lambs ? Are there manysocieties, or individuals, animated by the base and atrocious spirit of Titus Oates? ftichard If. was'certainly a very splendid prince; what body may his gay and gaudy soul invigorate at this moment ?— having been very fond of his wife, it is very difficult to say. This is " such stuff as dreams are made of;" but dreams are sometimes significant. It is said to be intended to raise the amount of the purchase- money for commissions in the army. Dr. Johnson, disputing with Dr. Crowe upon who was the first Whig, and the latter finding himself a little puzzled, " I see, Sir, ( said Johnson), that you are even ignorant of the head of your own party ; but I will tell you, Sir; the Devil was the first Whig : be was tbe first reformer ; he wanted to set up a reform in heavenI" Dr. Crowe calmly replied, " I am much obliged to you for your information, and I certainly did not foresee that you would go so far back for your authority; yet I rather fear that your arguments make against yourself; for if the devil was a Whig, you have admitted that, while he was a Whig, he was in heaven, but you have forgotten that the moment he got into Hell he set up for a Tory," R I S K OP SENDING WHISKEY TO LONDON.— The sending of Highland whiskey to London in quantities of a few bottles, has been by no means unfrequent of late years, and little risk attended the doing so, where the seizure of the spirits was the only penalty. But, bv a law passed towards the end of the session, ill addition to forfeiture of tbe spirits, the seizing officer may either exact a penalty of forty shillings upon each gallon, or 1001. at his option; and the forfeiture of the vessel, or carriage and horses conveying the spirits, being also declared by the act,— the conveying a single bottle of Scots spirits, of the value of a few shillings to Englaud, may be attended with a loss of some hundred pounds. SHOCKING SUICIDE.— Friday se'nnight, about ten o'clock, a young woman named Ami Raine, went into the Fl ying Horse, Wilson- street, Moorfields, and requested abed; having'been accommodated, she retired to her room about eleven. Not making her appearance next morning, the landlord went up stairs to ascertain the cause, when on going to her apartment, he found the door fastened inside; he first called out, and receiving no reply, he broke open the door, when he found the object of his search in bed, apparently entangled in the sheets. On his reaching her bed side, she vociferated " Jesus Christ protect me." Her manner and conduct left no doubt that she had been seized with a fit of insanity. She became gradually worse, and her screams alarmed the neighbourhood; it was with great difficulty her hands and feet could be secured. About two o'clock on Sunday morning she appeared rather tranquil, and it was thought tbe malady had left her; but during the temporary absence of her attendants, she opened the window of her chamber and jumped out into the street ( a height of 50 feet, being on the third story) .- her skull was shockingly fractured. The unfortunate girl was carried into the house, and medical men were prompt in attendance, but she was quite dead. She was a beautiful girl, apparently about 20 years of age; her friends and relations, who are respectable, reside at Newcastleupon- Tyne. It was supposed that she had been disappointed in marriage. An inquest, which lasted three hours, was held on the body on Tuesday. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased - had thrown herself from a three pair of stairs window, which caused her death, she being at the time in a state of mental derangement." MELANCIIOL Y O CCURRENCE. BOULOGNE- SUR- MER, AUG. 3.— Some friends beinr assembled, and at tea. in the drawing- room in the ltous of Mr. Webster Wedderburue, in this city, on Wednesday evening last, a violent scuffle was heard in tbe parlour, when the company found that Mr. Webster Wedderburne had stabbed his valet with a spring dirk from a cane, in six different places. The man has been taken the best care of possible, and the Police are busily employed in investigating this mysterious transaction. Mr. W. Wedderbnrne quitted Boulogne the same night. The situation of Ladv F. Wedderburne is truly lamentable— she remains in tlie house with two infant children, and is again in a state of pregnancy. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The Sunday evening previous to this wretched catastrophe, Lady Frances entered a room where her busband was engaged in a duel with his valet. Mr. W. was. in the act of cocking a pistol to shoot him, when Lady Frances rushed between them, and rescued the man from inevitable death. The husband has fled, leaving her with only 100 francs. Surely her friends will send for her home. Oil the present occasion Lady F. was again the first to enter the room. Mr. W. and his servant were then on the ground struggling, the valet uppermost, and both deluged with blood. She dragged the valet off her husband to the stair- case, when he fell from loss of blood. The company now ran out of the drawing- room, and Mr. Curzori pulled the dirk from the man's body. Surgeons Campbell, Robertson, - and Goree, and Doctor Courtenay, were instantly called in. They declared that he had lost full seven " pounds of blood. ' He is betw een 50 and t> 0 years of age, and of a. plethoric habit.. My private opinion is, that the wound not having been in the mortal part, the man may yet recover. We thinkthat Mr. W. cannot be sane. He said last Tuesday, in tbe presence of four Gentlemen, that lie should be happy, y- ere he sure that bis brains would be blown out the next day. The company in the house when this catastrophe happened were Lord Barrymore, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Maxwell, Lieut.- Col. Knight, Hon. Mr. Curzon, Capts. Rowed and Ruse, R. N„ and Dr. Courtenay.— Evening Paper. The hand of death has of late been busy in the Palaces of the Great. In the space of less than three yer. rs, England has lost a beloved Monarch and his virtuous Consort— the brother of the reigning King— the Heiress Apparent to England's Throne— the wife and the brother of tbe present Heir Presumptive— and now the Queen Consort, that Queen whose life lias been a scene so checquered, so marked with. incident— whose death is an event which history will hand down to future ages as the closing scene of an eventful drama. The agitation produced in this metropolis by the news that her Majesty was no more, is hardly to be described. Few persons, Indeed, Tece- ivnd fhe intelligence unmoved, and the gloom visible on almost every countenance in the streets, afforded tbe most unequivocal proof of the sincerity and intensity of the popular grief. As soon as the news became generally known, almost all the shops were partially closed, and every other mark of respect was spontaneously paid. The slanders and calumnies of all descriptions with which a portion of the Press has so long teemed against her Majesty, have not been able to poison the current of the general feeling, though they may have shortened the life of tbe Illustrious Victim.— Nothing was present to the thoughts of the people but the virtues of her Majesty, and the disappointments and sufferings which have fallen to her lot since her first appearance among us. Of a gay and cheerful disposition, " the life, grace, and ornament of every society in which she moved," generous and liberal in the extreme, possessing all the spirit which has so long distinguished the elder branclrof the House of Brunswick, and, at the same time, a kindness and tenderness of disposition, rarely seen iu persons of her rank, which could lead her even to visit a domestic infected with the plague, endowed with every quality which seemed calculated to ensure her own happiness, aud to make her a source of happiness and regard to others,— her whole life, from the day she set foot on this Island, has been one unvaried scene of bitter disappointment and misery. VIENNA, JULY 22.— It is said that the Cabinet of London, in giving to our Court the notification of the death of Bonaparte, made some communications of an important nature relative to the last wishes of the defunct, and relative to considerable sums which belonged to him, in the hands of several bankers of Europe. It is added, that the London eodrier was the bearer of an autograph letter from the prisoner of St. Helena, in which he leaves his great funds to his nearest relations. The Duke of Reichstadt has put on mourning for six months. Among the papers brought to England after the death of Bonaparte, there was a large packet, addressed, in the hand- writing of Bonaparte himself, to the Emperor of Austria. It is said tiiat General Bertram! entrusted the packet to an English officer, after requiring him to give his word of honor not to deliver it to any one except the Austrian Ambassador. Immediately after tlie arrival of the ship, the Marquis < f Londonderry proposed to Prince Esterliazy, the Austrian Ambassador, that he should either receive himse f those despatches on board the ship, or send a person on board invested with proper authority to do so; but tlr: t Prince declared that he considered it useless to go through such formalities; adding, that after the intimate rela- : tjons of amity subsisting between tbe two Cabinets, he ' would with pleasure receive those papers from the Mar- i quis himself. They have since been brought to this city. I It is thought that they contain the last legacy of Bonaparte to his son. 256 I'll THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND. HOLYHEAD, TUESDAY, 5 P. M.— The first beacon was tired at seven o'clock on Monday evening at Holyhead, the Royal squadron being then 10 miles off. The inhabitants were animated with the greatest enthusiasm. At 12 o'clock the Royal yacht anchored in the harbour. Tiie glad tidings were conveyed with the speed of light- Ejj ning through the town. At one o'clock every house in the" town was lighted with candles. At two o'clock, % r . M. the happy announcement was made, that his Macj jestv would land: and immediately the beach, and all 1 the avenues leading to it, were thronged with spectators. At fii e o'clock his Majesty landed on the pier, amid a Royal salute from 22 pieces of ordnance planted before the'Cu& tom- house, and the ships of the squadron. Immediately upon his landing on the pier, Sir John Stanley, accompanied by a deputation of the inhabitants, presented his Majesty an address of congratulation on his arrival; to which his Majesty answered:— " That he received with peculiar pleasure the affectionate and loyal address of a principality, the title of which he had borne during- so long a portion of his life." The spectators cheered his Majesty in the most enthusiastic manner. The carriage of the Marquis of Anglesea was in attendance, and his Majesty sdt off for the Marquis's seat, followed by several other carriages, and by a procession of the people at least a mile long. The Marquis's seat is 26 miles hence.— His Majesty, nt present, intends to sail for Ireland to- morrow, at four o'clock in the afternoon. His Majesty is in perfect health and spirits. Wednesday, four o'clock, p. tn.— His Majesty has just passed down to the pier, on his return from the seat of Lord Anglesea. The royal barge was in preparation at the foot of the ladder. As his Majesty ap. proaclied it, the gentlemen on the pier shouted " God save the King:' the ladies on the pier and on tlie bai cony of the Light- house, waved their scarfs and handkerchiefs. The King, preceded by Commodore Paget, and followed by Lord Anglesea, descended the ladder with a firm ana vigorous step, and is at this instant seated in his barge, bowing to the crowd of spectators who line the pier. As soon as his Majesty was seated in his barge, the ships of War of the squadron fired a royal salute. ffi. x. o'Clock.— His Majesty is now at dinner, and no doubt is entertained that he will sail this evening for the Bay of Dublin. DUBLIN*, A U G U S T 6.— Lord Sidmouth has just landed from the Lightning steam- packet. Among the persons of distinction who came in the same packet with his Lordship, were the Marquis of Winchester, the Marquis of Head fort, Lord Hawarden, Sir William Congreve, Sir LTlvsses Burgh, & c. The influx of strangers from the EM country, and from England, into this city, is scarcely | | conceivable, except to an eye- witness. The mansions of jjp the nobility, and of tbe absentee gentry, which have been long deserted, and seemed destined to immediate ruin, are already restored to their former splendor and gaietv, and tire fast filling with the families and countryfriends of the proprietors. The shops in Grafton- street, Dame- street, Castle- street, and Nassau- street, are as crowded as ever were those in Bond- street, to which they bear some resemblance. ' The principal thoroughfares are as impassable, by reason of the crowds of carriages.— The Ballast Board of this City have a line of vessels at proper and convenient distances, extendingfrom the Bay to Holyhead ; and thus a species of telegraphic communication is established, whereby it is calculated, the arrival of his Majesty's squadron in Holyhead can be made known in Dublin in Jess than thirtysix minutes. Four o'Clock.— The accounts which reached town last night and this morning, with respect to the Queen's illness, have cast a gloom over the joyous prosperity which every corner of this metropolis before exhibited. Her name h « re does not seem to excite any party or political feeling; but yet the people regard her as a member of the illustrious House of Brunswick, to which they seem most ardently attached, and deeply, though silently, sympathize in her misfortunes.— His Majesty will ditie with our Noble Viceroy, at the Vice- regal Lodge, on the day of his arrival in Ireland.— His Majesty will dine, in the course of the coining week, with the Lord Mayor. An address of congratulation to his Majesty, on ! initiation, wafiast week submitted for approval to t his coronation, the several incorporated Companies of this town, but was rejected, there being a majority of one Companyagainst it.—- Acwcastie Chronicle. It is remarkable that Queen Caroline, the Consort of George II., died of the same severe indisposition which has terminated the life of Queen Caroline, the Consort of King George IV. The malady which has sheltered her Majesty from all future care and suffering, is not, we have good authority for believing, of recent origin. This unfortunate Princess has been more than once attacked by the same disease, and about two years ago, when she resided at Pesaro, it assumed so alarming an appearance, that the physicians, during a period of three ( lavs, were in momentary expectation that the result would prove fatal. Whatever, however, may appear to have been either the remote or the proximate cause of this melancholy event, prudence dictates that, if possible, it should be ascertained, as it may involve many important questions ; and it is quite reasonable to assume, in vindication of such a proceeding, that had it been compatible with those humane feelings which the physicians who attended her Majesty are known to possess, or agreeable to the established code of medical ethics, to reason with the Royal patient upon the propriety of a measure which good sense would sanction, and the anxious solicitude of the people at large would almost induce them to demand, little doubt can be entertained that the Queen would have yielded her own personal feelings of delicacy, and have consented to an inspection, which must prove satisfactory to her friends, and conducive to general tranquillity.— M.

HI. c. 5.8. s. 2., for wilfully, mali- J ciously, and unlawfully administering to Hannah Stammers, a pregnant woman, hut not quick with child, certain noxious drugs, for the purpose of procuring miscarriage. The prisoner was a young man, aged 21, and had been a writer in the employment of Mr. Pattisson, | f solicitor, at Witham, in whose service the prosecutrix, a young woman of the same age, had been also a servant. ' Phe prisoner seduced her under repeated promises of marriage, and after she became pregnant, lie prevailed upon her to take penny- royal water, steel filings, and an unknown corrosive mixture, at several different times, in order to effect misearriage. In this he failed, and the prosecutrix, who is now far advanced in pregnancy, is likely to be a mother. The case was clearly proved by the most satisfactory evidence, and the Jury immediately found him Guilty.— The Judge, after sin impressive address, sentenced the prisoner to 14 years' transportation. The unfortunate youth was removed from the bar, giving vent to bis feelings by a flood of tears. © a Wednesday, whilst an elderly lady, residing in Cumberland- street, New- road, was sitting in her apartment reading by the tire, a spark flew out on her clothes, and before she discovered it she was enveloped in flames. Her screams alarmed the neighbourhood, but before assistance arrived, she was so dreadfully burned, that she expired shortly afterwards in the most excruciating pain. f^ adSSamaBBESOSEBSBBi 16 a 60 44 a 54 28 a 30 25 a 28 50 a 56 3tj a 40 28 a 30 30 a 32 24 a 28 23 a 26 IMPORTATIONS LAST WEEK.
