DURING the excessive hot weather, the blood is i naturally inclined to get over- heated, and the vessels filled to a degree which causes affections of the head a'nd bowels to prevail to an alarming extent. To prevent these ' Complaints, is earnestly recommended the continued use of the Improved APERIENT SODAIC POWDERS, which, from the peculiar nature of their composition, form an effervescing draught, re- f markable for its gratefulness, at the same time a mild aperient, j relievin" all affections of the head and bowels, removing the bile from the stomach, and superseding the necessity ot having recourse to calomel, Epsom salts, and other powerful and nau- seous medicines, which too frequently debilitate the stomach, without producing tbe desired effect.

We are not disposed to I I quarrel with our neighbours, or we should convince them that I the power they have exercised amongst us is arbitrary and un- I lawful; we think it right, however, in order to relieve them I I from the fears they must necessarily have on this account, to I I declare that it is not our intention to enter into litigation— we I I forgive them, for we believe they know not what they do. 1 It cannot be supposed' that the attempt to remove the Horse I Fair from the place where it is held on Southernhay, which is I I within our Manor, could originate from any other motive but to I I benefit the Public, and to excite the Msgistrates of our neigh- I bouring City of Exeter, for whom we entertain the highest re- I sped, to remove from one of the most improved and respectable I parts of the city, an annnal public annoyance. The improve- | I ments still going 011 there loudly tall for a more convenient I place to be appropriated for the Hots; Fair; and if our exertions I J should be the means of this being efficted, it is all that we wish I or desire; if it should not have thatJffect, we must another year I exercise our further authority in thisbehalf. Given at our Special Court, teld within and for the Manor and Fee of St. Sidwell, tills 10th day of August, 1821. V. WEBBER, Mayor. OXFORD ELECTION.

Yesterday evening, at 25 minutes past ten o'clock, the Queen departed this life, after a short but painful illness, at Brandenburgh- House, nt Hammersmith. The tragedy ofthe persecutions and death of a Queen is at length brought to its awful close; and thousands — we may say millions— of eyes will he suffused in fears, when they shall read in this column fliat Caroline of Brunswick is no more! The greatest, perhaps fhe best woman of the day, sunk by what may be called a pre- mature death, at twenty- five minutes past feu on Tuesday evening last. Her illustrious daughter— the only object, in truth, for which the mother wished to live— died three years and nine months before her; and, iu their persons, a branch fhe most illustrious of tile reigning House of England, and the closest, to the Royal stem, which, under happier auspices and more kindly treatment, might have given future Edwards, and Henries, and Elizabeths, to the country, is for ever and ever cut off. How ( he surviving members of the royal Family may feel on this portentous occurrence, we know not; but fhe nation, which, during ( he sufferings of the Queen, evinced its loyally ( o her person and its admiration of her character, feels now widowed by her ih cartse; and politicians must perceive with some anxiety, ( hat Ihe destinies of the monarchy are now transferred to, and wound up will), the life of an infant girl. Sound be her f rame, and lengthened he her days 1 But ( he nation has once already ( oo fondly indulged hopes resting on such a basis, to repose implicit confidence in that which a sor- rowful experience, as well as reason, hath taught it to be so frail. The QUEEN ;— we will not say that she was in her i> y l w ho had long deserted her came not near her even at I hat affecting crisis. The official forms of ( he Court were neglected in her case; and no other announcement of ( he slate of her malady was given to ( he anxious People, ( han ( hat which private friendship and unshaken devotion afforded— but her Majes( y was sustained by the consciousness of innocence; she was soothed by the con- solations of religion; and that firm courage which a benevolent Providence had so amply supplied to her, and all ( he members of her suffering race, did not desert her when she came to struggle with the last enemy of our nature. She died as she had lived— a Christian, heroine, and a martyr. We must refer ( o another part of ( he journal for tbe details of this affecting subject. But how awful! to contemplate the decease of a Prin- cess, in whose gallant heart there beat fhe mingled blood of ( lie reigning families of Brunswick and of England, who was the last representative of that united stock, her only child having gone before, her to the grave. It is ( he death- scene, not of one, but of a race ! liis office, and to publish to the world her solemn Jo » i„ rations of innocence. But peace was there, smiling like a cherub; and ( he life which had been spent amidst clouds and tempests was blest with one last moment of serenity and joy; and now— " Treason hath done its worst: Life's fitful fever ended, she sleeps well. Malice domestic nothing can touch her further." Her Majesty's enemies, we believe, are appalled at the unexpected event. They look at each other with inquiring faces—" We did not do it?" No; the last stroke was a merciful dispensation, and was therefore none of yours. Whatever comfort you may derive from ( his reflection, seize it with avidity, and enjoy the meagre feast. But time wears away apace; and your day of account draws near. Then, then, when the charge of hastening the Queen's end shall be brought against you by that Being who knows " whereof we are made," and perceives by what secret operations of ( lie mind the body is gradually worn down, or abruptly shattered info ifs original dust—( lien urge the exten- uating plea, " Thou canst not say we did it." And there mav thai plea avail! But as the first step to re-, pentance here is the knowledge of the offence, we must for your future good inform yon, ( hat however un- ilaunted was the courage of her Majesty, yet that the cruelty of her enemies, the ingratitude of her friends, and (" he general baseness of Courtiers, did at ( imes most deeply prey upon her spirits, and imparting inces- sant shocks to a frame which, however well composed, w as still but feminine, did there occasion symptoms and affections which were likely to lead to this result. We will even add, that all these circumstances together en- gendered in her mind at last so great a distrust of pro- fession of service, and so strong a suspicion of human nature in general, as must have tended to shorten life by rendering it undesirable. It is unnecessary to point ou( to our countrymen ( he manner in which ihe dea( h of the Queen is to be observed, or respect toiler memory testified. The noblest panegyric which we can make on the Royal victim of slander aud persecution just deceased, is lo record her behaviour during the last trying sceile of Iier existence. Our statement shall be unmixed with a single comment, and scrupulously and anxiously free " " - - • When, " rst • ' ler permission to send for another physician, observing, that whatever might be bis own individual skill and atten- tion, yet the public would necessarily expect, in the case of a Queen, that every possible aid should be had re- course to. Her Majesty answered, with a smile, to the following effect:—" My dear Doctor, do what you please: if it will be auy relief to your own mind to call in assistance, do so; bu t do net do it for my sake : I have no wish ( o live — I would rather die." Indeed, from the | first moment lhat her Majesty was assured of ( he very serious nature of her indisposition, she clung to the assurance with joy and gratitude, and listened wilh a I reluctant ear ( o the hopes of recovery which her physi- cians and friends held out to her from time ( o time. " Why do you wish me to live ?" siie exclaimed on one occasion in the early part of her illness; " life tome can be nothing 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 I public opinion was in her favour, and would make her | amends for all her sufferings. Hn- Majesty asked ' whaf public opinion had done for her." It was an- swered, that it bad ( Usfeafed 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 the failure of that bill ? If it had passed, I should have been degraded; and what is my situation now? I have indeed ( he empty title of Qtieen; but am I Queen of England ? Have I fhe privileges, ( he power, the dignities of a Queen of England? No. no: I ain a mere private [ p: rson— 1 am not Queen of England." It will be re- j collected that on Friday last the symptoms of her Ma- jesty's disorder had become very alarming, and ( he phy- sicians had scarcely any hope of her recovery. She received . the announcement of her danger with ad- mirable calmness and composure; aud shortly after- j wards proceeded to make her will. There was auair of | r 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 atalj regret it." Mr. Brougham said, thathe 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 | iersisted in saying, that she kifentshe was dying. In the course of the evening she took occasion to say—" I do not know w hether 1 shall suffer bodily pain in dying, but I can assure you that I shall quit this world without regret: 1 have no great reason ( o be attached to life." Ou Saturday and Sunday, in spite of some favourable 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 rejoiced in anticipating her release from trouble— her escape from Ihe malice of her enemies. She said, that in ( his world, whether in England or abroad, ( he rancour of her persecutors would always bcse( her; and i( was only iu another world she could look for peace aud justice. She expressed ( he deepest, regret that she was so little able to reward ( hose faithful servants who had stood by her in her difficulties; but hoped that Govern- ment would not let them wan{. She declared herself warmly grateful, and hoped her gratitude would be made known to ( hat generous portion of ( he People of England whose support of her had been most steady when most wanted, and who had never been fright- ened from her cause either by tho power or ( lie calumny of her oppressors. England," said her Majesty, " hus certainly been to me a land of sorrow and persecution ; but I know how to leave those faithful English who iiave always sympathised with my sorrow, and have done all iu ( heir power to defeat the malice of my perse-, cutors." It was on this occasion fliaf she observed ( hat her enemies had been for years plotting and conspiring to destroy her. " At last," said she,' " they have de- stroyed me, but I fol- give them— I die in peace with all mankind." Shortly after she sen( for Mariette Brune, fo whom she declared her perfect forgiveness of her sister's ( Demont's) cruel falsehoods. 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 ( he deep injuries she had received, and ( hough au indelibly strong image of ( he injustice" of her enemies was always present to her mind, yet she never used a harsh or angry expression against any individual: she freely forgave them all, spoke, of ( hem in terms of pity, and even made allowances for ( heir conduct on ( he score of the weakness and frailty of human nature. On Monday night, it will be remembered, that her physicians seemed to consider her Majesty out of all danger: she was informed of their opinion, but insisted that they were 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 ( 9 her will— we believe it related to the place of her interment. Her first wish was to be buried in ( he same grave with her beloved daughter; but, added she, " I can have but little hope that the Government will grant this wish— I desire, therefore, to be buried in ( he same vault wilh my father and brother at Brunswick." When her Majesty'had signed this codicil, she began to converse at considerable length with Mr. Wilde: ( he 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 ber Majesty begged him to stay, " I thank my Physicians," she said, " for Iheir kind intentions: they mean nothing but what is right; but ( hey do not under- stand 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 tran- quillity in this life, it is a pleasure to contemplate my approaching death; and why may I not speak what I feel?" All these observations uww ® mads ". HI. such sweetness or maimer and such calmness of tone, as to make an impression never to be effaced from the minds of those who were present. The night between Monday and Tuesday was passed without sleep, owing, it is believed, to that restless anxiety which usually accom- panies the process of mortification. On Tuesday after- noon abou( one, she again sent for Mr. Wilde aud Dr. Lushington, and again conversed on her usual topics. Alluding to ( he few friends who bad remained constant fo 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 honour, to en- deavour by anonymous letters, and all means in their power, to poison her mind against them, in order ( o induce her ( o break with them. " Against the first mode of attack," said her Majesty, " I could^ iave no help: the second plan I soon defected, and therefore defeated." She then alluded to the practice of opening the body after death, aud 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 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 see me when dead, and ( here isno good reason for satisfying their curiosity." She then again adverted with great regret to her ina- bility 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 ( his period she expressed herself with more ve- hemence of manner, but still with the same forbearance of language, touching the cruel conspiracies of her inve- terate foes; but the fever soon subsided, and she re- covered. her usual gentle tone, her usual calm and firm demeanour— she was again all resignation to the will of God. A drowsiness then came on which lasted till near!) 8 o'clock, when she suddenly awoke, and ob- serving by her bed- side Dr.' Holland, who, during Iter illness had often expressed a hope of her recovery, said with a smile and accent of the greatest sweetness— " Well, my dear Doctor, what do you tkiuk now ?" Her Majesty soon afterwards became insensible, but remained alive for above two hours, showing by her breathing a vigour of the lungs and of the heart which the physicians said exceeded any case they had ever witnessed. At length, at twenty five iniuutes 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 fhe physicians betrayed emotions of grief not often seen among the professional attendants of a death bed. The life of the late Queen may be said to have been one continuous blank in the pleasures of social life. Calumniated, persecuted, and at last broken- hearted, she sought death as ( he only refuge for her sorrows, and her noble spirit bursting the trammels of earthly re- strain, winged its flight to that Kfng—" where the wicded cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest." Peace be to thy Spirit I hitherto hapless and Illus- trious Wanderer; and whilst ( lie cypress and laurel shall in melancholy concert entwine o'er thy grave, the tears of ( he nation shall be shed at ( he recollection of thy many persecutions, misfortunes, and death. HnKSBE The following Psalm, being that which is appointed in the Church of England service to be read on the 7th j of August, ( he day of her Majesty's dissolution, is so j strikiugly applicable ( o the incideii( s of her life, and, if her enemies peruse it, so calculated to awaken in their I j souls a sense of the injuries tbey have inflicted on lhat I illustrious individual, that we think proper to insert it for the perusal of our readers. .

ID MOTHERLESS FAMILY, PERMIT me to lay before you a case which cannot fail to excite your sympathy and benevolence. I most sincerely wish ibis duly had been performed by a more able and respectable advocate; but no one having stepped forward to engage in this errand of love, rather than a generous public should lose the opportunity, and the tender objeels of this appeal the benefit, 1 hope it will not be deemed presumptuous in me moving as I do in an humble sphere of life) to recommend to your perusal the following statement of facts, which 1 hope is all that is necessary on such an occasion. The family above alluded to consists of the seven surviving children of the late Mr. and Mrs. EVANS, of Exeter, five of whom are incapable of providing for themselves, being very young, and who have no relations who possess the means of affording tbem permanent assistance. The parents were among acquaintance for upwards of twenty- six years; the father, when my most intimate in health, was industrious and laborious, and ranked among the most ingenious anil expert of his profession as a Coach- smith; and us it respects their disposition to dp good, in better and happier days, I have often witnessed the stranger nnd distressed made welcome at their table, orotlierwise relieved from their hard earnings. They were many years zealous, con- stant, useful und faithful visitors in that excellent institution, the " Stranger's' Friend Society."- Surely,' the offspring of such parents cannot, now distresi has overtaken Ihem, appeal- to public charity in vain. For a few years past Mr. E. had a share m the Coacli- making hnsi » c*>-,, oui enrering into fhe concern without a ca- pital, ( whieh certainly was a favor of no small magnitude grunted by his partner, and would not have been acceded to, but from a thorough knowledge of his strict honor und integrity, gathered from nil acquaintance equal in extent with my own) and having a large family, with a series of sickness reigning in it, and the last illness of tlie father upwards of sixteen months duration, is it a matter of astonishment that they should sink into a state of insolvency ? I am sorry, however, such was the case, and tun well persuaded the happiest event of their lives would have beeii that of paying their just debts. But the decree went forth, and Death was commissioned, not Only to put an end to tbeir honest endeavours, but lo bereave seven dear children of both Iheir fond and beloved parents; their properly, of course, is applied to pay, in part, their debts, and nothing left — not even sufficient to furnish a room for the children-— they now rely on Ibe generosity of friends. The two elder sisters are tolerably well known as Straw Bonnet and Fancy Dress makers, in Catherine- street. For them, no pecuniary nid is solicited— they do not desire it; yet how much might ladies assist iheir honest endeavours, and add to their comfort; even a partial bestowment of their favors on two orphan sisters, who are highly industrious, tasteful, attentive, and punctual in business, and with a character unblemished, would be a peculiar blessing. The fondest wish of those sisters is to act in the double relation of parents nnd sisters to the younger branches of the family; but the means tliey have not; though they are incessant in their application to business, their industry but just affords a maintenance for themselves. By a small donation you will enable them to realize tbeir wishes, thereby increasing their happiness, and tbeir brothers and sisters lo be reared under the fostering care of their nearest relatives, who wait with anxious solicitude, and who will, for the smallest possible remuneration, become their guardians. If you withhold that assistance which you are now entreated to bestow, tbeir load of misery will be augmented and perpetuated, by their being put to the mortifying necessity of consigning those dear infuntsto the cure oi strangers, and the ( misplaced) degradation of a workhouse. The object of this appeal is to raise a subscription for this orphan family. Should my humble attempt fail, I shall alone feel rewarded by the purity of my intention; if f should suc- ceed, it will be cause of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of all good. 1 am, Ladies and Gentlemen, In behalf of Ibis Family of destitute Orphans, Your humble Petitioner, JOHN BROWN, buiLDER, Bedford- place, Exeter.

" TMIE humanity of a generous Public cannot but he J. awakened at the recital of a circumstance, both awful in itself and melancholy in its effects, which lias recently happened to a person by the name of JOHN CHANTER, si Hellier and Plasterer, of Goldsmith- street, in this City, and by which a Wife and Si* Children are left in the most distressing situation. While pursuing his employ, on the morning of Tuesday last, he had to descend by a ladder from the roof of a bouse in Candy's-. street, when iiis foot unfortnnately slipped, and be was precipi- tated to tbe bottom. Immediate assistance was procured, and he was removed to the Hospital; but, melancholy to relate, in ( beeourseof a few hours, he breathe! Ids last. Being tbus sud- denly snatched from the bosom of a family wbo were entirely dependent on him for support, they are plunged in tbe deepest misery, and have lio resource from wbich they can anticipate relief, but nil appeal td those whose hearts are ever open to ameliorate tbe sufferings of tbeir fellow- creatures. It is a peculiar satisfaction to state, tbat tbe unfortunate man, whose death bas occasioned this address, wns remarkable for his in- dustrious habits and general good conduct; a consideration that must naturally implant in tbe breasts of his disconsolate wife and helpless offspring the keenest and most lusting sensations of sorrow at his loss.

SUNDAY EVENING, AUG. 12, 1821. It appears by the following letter, received j- esterday from j Holyhead, that the King has received the intelligence of the I Queen's dissolution. " Holyhead, Thursday Evening, Six o'Clock. " The King's Messenger hns. brought the melancholy intelli- I gence of her Majesty's dissolution. " His Majesty's yacht is now preparing to get out of harbour. The wind continues westerly, but the agitation of - the sea has abated. It is understood'to be the King's intention to saif with the first wind for Dublin, hut to land in the most private manner, possible. It- is further said that his Majesty, on his arrival in Ireland, will repair immediately to , the Phoenix Park, near Dublin, where he will remain private until after her Majesty's funeral. " Lord Sidmouth is just arrived, and has had a private interview | with the King." There is no intimation respecting a public mourning in last I night's Gazette. The arrangements for the burial of the Queen nt Brunswick I being necessarily extensive, it is doubted Whether body can be [ removed until Tuesday , The distance to Harwich being j seventy miles, the procession will be on the road three days. From Harwich it will be conveyed to Stadt, and from thence to I Brunswick. All the branches of the Royal Family, in or near London, who I had heard of the death of the Queen, appeared in mourning on Thursday; as did those of the King's afid the different Royal Establishments. The Cabinet Ministers and the principal official I gentlemen likewise appeared in mourning 011 that day. A Requisition is now signing to the Right Hon. the Lord I M nyor, 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. Oliver, who it may be recollected was charged with being I a spy to Government, is now first clerk id the wharfinger's office, at the Cape of Good Hope, with a salary and perquisites, valued at £ 300 per annum. Accounts are received that the yellow fever has broken out at I Baltimore. ' WASHINGTON, July 0.— The Anniversary - of American Independence was celebrated in this city on Wednesday, in the manner previously determined This capital was crowded with a very respectable assemblage Of ladies and citizens, to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence, accompanied by an Address I'roro the Hon. John Quincey Adams. The orator commenced with the. origin of human society, tracing from the dark ages to the era of our Independence, the usurpations of Monarchy and the Priesthood, nnd the submission of men to their j authority, until obtaining, through the lapse of ages, a knowledge of their rights, they saw them at length 111 their full extent; and the men of America burst asunder the Lilliputian ties which had | bound them down, and declared, in the most solemn manner, the j only true principles ol' Government— asserting the equal rights of j man, and the supremacy of the popular Will. Here Mr. Adams I introduced and read with great effect the original of that illus- trious instrument, the Declaration of Independence. Then, resuming his discourse, he pointed out ill what consisted the great importance of that event in our history, and the reasons which re- commend its perpetual commemoration. That it proclaimed our separation from Britain, however great an incident that is justly considered, he showed to be of infinitely less importance than the 1 solemn denial, then for the first time made, of the emanation of j all power and rights from Kings, and the assertion of its origina- f Hon with the People, cfec. The treaty of peace of 1773 was j quoted, to show how our Independence, thus based and thus de- clared, was recognized by the King of England. Passing on to I the tomiation of our Constitution, and thence beyond that epoch, ] Mr. Adams brought up the history of our country to this day, con- cluding with an eloqiient vindication of the literary and scientific character of our country from the sarcasms and cavils of Euro- pean writers, and an assertion of the brilliant success that had 1 thus far attended our system of Government, which has already I enddred for more than on? generation of the sons of men. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK, nEAR LIVERPOOl. ( From the Liverpool Mercury.) It becomes our painful duty to record one of the most dis- tressing shipwrecks that ever occurred within the precincts of this port: the loss of the smack Earl Moira, packet, which sailed with passengers, bound to Dublin. The actual number . of those who perished we have not been able to ascertain, partly owing to the uncertainty as to the number who embarked, and their being chiefly strangers in the town ; and partly from Ihe extreme ex- haustion of the survivors, which rendered many of them unable to depict the dreadful scene of which they hod formed a part, until' wearied nature were recruited by sleep. But as the bare contem- plation of numbers ol' our fellow beings, who left the port in health and spirits, being, after unheard- of sufferings, consigned to a watery grave, must call forth the deepest sympathy, we fose 110 time in giving such particulars as the shortness of our time, with the utmost diligence, has enabled us to collect. The Earl Moira left the Pier- head soon after six o'clock on flie evening of Wednesday the Sth instant. The greater number of our informants ( all survivors) agree in the estimation of the number of 100 to 110 persons being 011 board, including about six of a crew. When off the Magazines,. they set aft sail, wiiid blow- ing fresh from the W. N. W. After passing the Gut Buoy, No. 1, in attempting to tack, the vessel missed stays, and struck on Burbo Bank. Tbe passengers, alarmed at the shock, flocked up from below in multitudes; and some of those from the cabini remon- strated with the captain, who was observed to be intoxicated, and consequently bewildered and undetermined.- The boat was or- dered out, and a kedge- anchor, was carried lo leeward; and,- after considerable toil, the vessel was again got into deep water, and bore away for the Cheshire shore. A great number of file passengers here requested the captain to bear away for Liverpool, as the weather looked very black and threatening a- head: he re- fused to comply, and after a few tacks, about ten o'clock the vessel missed stays a second time, and grounded on the Wharf Bank, off Mock Beggar. Finding it impossible hi get her off, orders were given lo strike the topmast and make ever}' thing snug. The captain and crew assured the passengers lhat the vessel was not in a dangerous situation, so that they determined', to remain contented until the return of the tide: some now remained on deck, and others retired to tlieir hammocks. When the flood tide set in, the vessel, being occasionally lifted, struck the bank, and it is probable, from the manner in which she afterwards leaked, that her bows were injured by striking against the anchor, which was injudiciously dropped when she, grounded, as she did not take cable.— The mainsail, kept 011 her for the purpose ol running her 011 the bank ns the tide rose, had only the effect of sinking her deeper in the sand, and rendered her situation more, f'ataf. At half- past two the vessel filled with water fore and aft; the pump having previously teen plied, but with no effect. Two fine horses, that were in the hold, were now hoisted up: the groom wished to ride one of them on shore, bit was persuaded to desist. The horses were washed, or thrown overboard. Previous to this, the passengers wished a signal to be made, to which the captain would not agree, declaring there wis no danger; but after some time, a flag was carried aloft ly a passenger, ( a printer, who wore a blue jacket), and pia^ e fist. Between lour and five o'clock, the water forced away the cabin deck windows, and the luggage, provisions, < fcc. were floated up, the- sea break- ing over ( hem. The waves increased along - with the rising tide, and at last brought the vessel 011 her broadside. Soon after, the boat and deck lumber were washed overboard, and two passen- gers, who were snatched away, were with difficulty saved. Ail who were able now got upon the shrouds, anl some held on by ropes fastened to the bulwarks, or to whatever they could find to keep them out of the water, it being then breast high on deck, and nothing but the weather gunnel and mast to be seen. I11 this manner men, women, and children clung, until exhausted by the continuance of the waves that burst overthem, tliey began to drop from their hold, and were overwhelmed. One tremendous wave which struck the weather bow, carried off from 10 to 15 poor souls at once. Men, women, and chidren, who seemed 111 the greatest agonies, were now washed away, and every succeed- ing wave seemed to mark its victims — the suvivors had scarcely time to breathe - between each. One man overboard, and was lor some time seen struggling , support— n trunk or box. A boat lay to a short distance to windward of them all night ( apparently one of the King's Dock gigs). Several signals were contrived to lure her to their assistance : out of the passengers, a soldier, fired his musket three times, having but three cartridges, but the boat took 110 notice. When the water was making over the deck, a white handkerchief was waved from the rigging, when the boat came down, and went a short distance to leeward of them. On being requested to approach they said the sea was running too high for thefti.—. The passengers in the Earl Moira then took a cork fender, nnd fastening a rope to it, let it drop towards the boat; but the boatmen refused b take hold of the rope, by means of Which they might have got safely alongside. About ten minutes after, several packages vere washed away, when the wretches In the boat having picked up three or four portmanteaus and a trunk, immediately set sail with their plunder to Liverpool, although at the same time tie dead bodies were floating round the vessel. The captain, who was still in a state ( f intoxication, was among the first who perished. After the most incoherent conduct, lie was exclaiming, " We shall all be, lost!" when be was struck on the breast by a wave, and falling backwards he sunk along- side. We shall not pain our readers by a ninute detail of the heart- rending scene of death that contiuued from this period until nil were either saved or drowned. A few instances will suffice. A female of about thirty years of age, was observed with her two children, one about eight months old, the other two years. For a considerable time she buffetted the waves with her infants in lier arms. A tremendous sea at length struck her, beneath which her exhausted children were buried for a minute or a minute and a half: the wind then lulled for a moment, and tbe swell abated; the agonized mother gazed at the children in her arms, and found them both dead— she uttered a piercing shriek, lost her hold, was overwhelmed by another wave, and perished with her children locked in her arms. Three soldiers were 011 board, having a de- serter in charge : they remained by him as long as they could; a sea struck them ns they stood together, and carried off the deserter who sunk immediately. One of the soldiers was carried under the boom, and clung to one of the stays: as the sea lifted the vessel he rose above water severat times, but at length, with an exclamation of mercy, yielded to his fate. A vast number of poor men, women, and children, ( says a survivor who was in the rigging,) the occupants of the front part of the vessel, were more exposed to the waves, and there was no possibility of affording the sufferers the least relief. We beheld them struggling with the most appalling difficulties: one female importuned our assistance; but, 011 our extending a rope, she was too much exhausted to keep hold, and sunk. There were about ten men clinging to one rope, the wife of one having her husband in her arms— an irresistible wave swept alt but three away. The survivors, seeing their exhausted comrades dropping one by one from their hold, remained in continual apprehension of a similar fate. The Hoylake life- boat arrived to their assistance between seven and eight. So great was their eagerness for self- preser- vation, that about thirty soon dropped into the boat, and the com- mander, whose exertions cannot be too much praised, was at length obliged to put off to prevent the boat being swamped: they were all much exhausted, and many of them in a dying state. Another boat, the first from Liverpool, belonging to Matthew Naill, arrived about eight o'clock, and brought eight persons 011 shore. Before the third boat arrived ( belonging, we are told, to William Corrie) the deck was torn up by the sea, and the mast fell. Many of the women were swept away. There were twelve got into this boat, including a lady, and fifteen sufferers remained clinging to the wreck, the greater number of whom were after- wards picked up by other boats. There were but two females saved. There were five ladies cabin passengers, of. whom only one was saved. There were, we learn, thirty- three cabin passengers in all, sixteen only of whom were saved. It was impossible for us to obtain the precise number of those who perished. The number 011 board was not exactly known, nor the number saved; although the latter may be stated at about fifty, leaving about the same supposed number who have perished. The'bodies of two females, One child, and a man, have teen brought here ; and others, we understand, have been landed near the Rock. The boat belong- ing to the Moira, in a shattered condition, was brought here last night; when picked up, a fine shawl was found tied round one of the benches, to which probably some unfortunate lady had clung until overwhelmed. Such are the distressing particulars which we have yet been able to collect, and they will be perused with painful interest.

WAldEGRAVE'S MEMOIR. • The Queen is descended into the dreary abodes of death. She has shaken off theshartkles of misery, anil is freed from the chain of oppressions Posterity will I sit in judgment will) mercy ou her actions, and justice' ! will pronounce its sentence, unswayed- by passion and Unbiassed by power. Her enemies may triumph yet a little longer— they may rejoice at her descent into the ! toiub— they may continue to stain her reputation to answer the designs of malice, to gratify < the cravings of interest, or satisfy the appetite of revenge. Death has removed her beyond the pale of: ( heir anger; she can be reached no longer by calumny; power is now powerless against her— and Ihe snares of her enemies can 110 more retain her spirit than tbe frail webs that flutter in the beams of the morning sun. The tomb of death is the asylum of the miserable, tbe quiet recess of those who have none tolislp, it is tll « hope of the unfortunate, the calm retreat of the child of despair. Over her grave they who believe her innocent will drop the tear of sincerity; in lively sorrow they will mourn over her ashes, lis those of. a departed friend. Let the proud oppressors behold her hi the dust— let them see her in I the domains of death, mill remember that bt. it a few moments more can pass away before their mouldering j bones must be deposited in their kindred soil. The curtain of eternity must soon he withdrawn to all in existence : pomp and pageantry, the folly and the pride of man, will then beofnoaval)— theKing will be divested of his crown and his scepfre— the hero will not want his truncheon— the courtier will 110 longer fawn for lucre, nor the parasite flatter to please his lord". Divine justice I will succeed the mockery of ( he law, and the good will i | receive their reward. In 1735, this unfortunate Princess reached the English shores,, and bet ' tune the v'cfim of the caprice of Courts. In s'ier became the mother p of that Princess whose memory is enshrined in the hearts of ail true Englishmeji,. apd more especially, because she was the object of fear and apprehension to the Tory race, tbe enemies; of,, mankind. But a few- weeks elapsed, after the birth of her daughter, before she was informed by her Royal Husband, that they were hot suited to each other ; in other words, he dismisses his Consort, without a charge < ir a crime, from his bosom and his presence. No sooner was she thrown from the protection of her guardian, but a plot was formed against her reputation mid her life; Iler enemies were long and craftily at work,' find when the design ripened into maturity, her Majesty was represented as more filthily vicious ( ban even MeSsalina. Then the Tories, in power, rallied around her, because the King gave her his support; but when she again fell'- into difficulty, they became her avowed and most bitter enemies, with few exceptions, because the King was not her friend. Courtiers, in all ages and in all climes, are the same disgusting species; the slaves of the palace are, in general, men without shame, and women without honor. All they regard is the will of power— they watch its caprice, and anticipate its desires— they find honors spring from base compliance, and royal rewards follow- ing servile adulation. Then, said the members of the Privy Council, who signed the declaration of her inno- charge of criminality was .> « • rested upon evidence of Such a nature, and given tinder such circumstances, as rendered it, in their judgment, undeserving of credit'. Yet after this her Majesty's in- tercourse with her own daughter was subject to restraint; and she was prohibited from seeing her more than once in a fortnight: this was enough to break the heart of a tender mother; but ( lie feelings of nature, and the rights of humanity, pride and power disdain. She was induced to quit this country; and at tiie moment of her departure she found herself insulted by the presence of some of tile principal office's of flow- street at her hotel. On the Continent, spies were placed about her, base in- formers watched her motions, e very look intimated error, and every action implied h crime. Thus surrounded, thus beset, tales were spread too disgusting too narrate, too filthy to detail. But these tales, many of which were the offspring of fancy, were supported by testimony basely procured for the purpose, and she was again as- sailed by charges of the most foul nature. Tbis attack ended in her triumph, because her enemies could not succeed, even though they endeavoured to overwhelm her, contrary to tiie justice of the sound part of our laws, by a Hill of a- nature unknown bat in the worst of times. Rampant us were her enemies for her destruc- tion, and determined to effect it, they were unable to obtain a majority under all the circumstances, but by adding to the number of those who would condemn the names of nine of tbe Ministry, who were her accusers, and this Hine formed the majority, which even they could not venture to trust. Thus fell this combination, and public execration followed the footsteps of the in- formers and spies. Her Majesty appeared as an oppressed woman, and hundreds of thousands were ready to be her guard. They saw that her foes were united in their iniquity, from motives of interest, or reasons of ambition; they beheld cupidity, pride, malice, and revenge, in hostile array against her, and the People became indignant at the sight; they knew that it was not a love of virtue, or an abhorrence of vice, that impelled her enemies to destroy her fame, because they saw among their leaders men Ihe most abandoned, and women who knew nothing of virtue but the name. Decency, on this occasion, was laid aside; even hypo- crisy boldly threw off its veil, and the most profligate adulterers, who openly lived in defiance of human and divine law, were the loudest tongued railers against adultery. Evil example they pretended to fear, though they themselves were living monuments of unpunished crime. They trembled for the chastity of the Court, though the basest wretches, lost to decorum, proudly walked within the precincts of the Palace. So hideous was this monstrous proceeding, in which the bloated satyrs of wantonness, under the mask of virtue, des-, canted against vice, that ( he public indignation was justly roused ( o a pi( cil unparalleled in history. The People beheld the Queen in the light of a persecuted and injured female, and his Majesty as laboring under a de- lusion, created by the venality of courtiers to rouse his anger. Pity wept over t'ue sufferings of the intended Royal Victim, and justice wished to withdraw the film from the eyes of the Royal Husband. But the Queen has departed before the mysteries iim developed, and the f. niquities exposed. ' tier ( lying ' moments, if credence » may be given to rumour, were'' marked with all the magnanimity of Christian charity. She freely forgave all her enemies, though, said she, they have destroyed me; and when the. hour of dissolution came her spirit ] hushed all feelings of reseijftfient. Such is the glorious j exit of an abandoned creature, of a filing, as foul and ! filthy as a denion, if calumny be believed ; but the ! philosopher, who dives deeply into the recesses of the human mind, w& o traces aeiiori to its motive, will re- quire proof ns strong as Ilolv Writ, and testimony as pure as tbe driven snow, before he will pourtrav that woman as criminal who could thus firmly meet her GOD.

Tbe Torquay regatta, wbich took place 011 Tuesday last, under the patronage of Sir L. V. Palk, Bart, was productive^ of the highest entertainment both ( o amateurs in sailing aiid to admirers of picturesque scenery. The day was fine and tbe breeze strong ; ( he ten guinea cup was contested for by severat of the Royal Yacht Club, from Cowes, and gained by Mr. Weld's Julia, of 42 tons. Ths Ladies' eight guinea cup, after a very spirited and intere « ( ing race, was won by Capt. Lyons' Lady Louisa. The six guinea cup was won easily by Capt. Lyons' Petit Diable. Fifteen guineas were divided into priz- s for pleasure vessels and fishermen. The encouragement which is given fo this truly national amusement is very beneficial in many points of view. A gallant and truly meritorious action is related of Sir Lawrence V. Palk, Bart, which we feel pleasure in making public.

Her Majes,< wis the second daughter and fifth child of ( he late Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Bruns- wick Wolfenbnttle, hy the Princess Augusta, daughter of his Royal Highness the late Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, and sistcrof our late revered and most gracious Sovereign King George III. The Princess was con- sidered by the Court and the people of England as a most desirable match for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The marriage of their Royal Highnesses, after a slfort negociation, took place on the 8th of April, 1795, in the presence of the Royal Family, and of the principal Nobility in the kingdom. Nothing could be more magnificent than the celebration of these nuptials, normore touching than the joy which all classes of the people testified 011 the occasion; addresses poured in from every part of tho country to congratulate the royal couple on their union; and when, in a few months aftnpvvdfc. ifc'frK iicif%* W t'liftfa^ ti": teppltiess of the people was at its height. But short was the space in which England could con- gratulate herself on the union which promised to be so auspicious. Within n very few months after the Royal Nuptials, domestic differences arose, of what nature we cannot distinctly state, and we do not wish to repeat the seandttlotis rumours of the day; but they were probably of that trivial kind that might have been easily accom- modated 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 in- fluence with the Prince was very great. These unhappyklifferences, from whatever cause they I sprung, terminated in a separation within three months after the birth of the lamented Princess Charlotte, which happened on the 7th of January, 1796. The Princess of Wales became the inhabitant of a separate establish- ment 011 Blackheafh. 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 iu- 1 formed of circumstances which induced her to decline the connection, 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 domesitc privacy. But though the Princess was cleared of the charge imputed to her by two successive commissions of the Cabinet Council, anil subsequently by her Sovereign and Uncle, her domestic disquietude was not removed; she was still an exile from Court, Iter intercourse with her daughter restricted, and Iter actionsas closely watched as ever. She adopted the resolution of seeking comfort abroad, and accord- ingly, in tlie year 1814, the Princess quitted England, very much against the advice of her confidential friends, Mr. Wbitbread and Mr. Brougham. Tlie circumstances attending her residence on the Continent are too voluminous even to admit of a satis- 1 factory analysis, and too recent in the recollection of I our readers to require enumeration. The same obser- vations apply to the interval from her Majesty's return to England in August twelvemonth, to the commence- ment of her malady, which terminated in her dissolu-[ ' tion. Her Majesty was born on the 17th of May, 17GS, I and died on the 7th of the present month, at the age of 53 years, 2 months, and 21 days. A11 anxious observer of the state of her Majesty's I mind in the latter melancholy period of her life, has transmitted to us the following remarks :— " Shf. has fallen the victim of the most cruel and un- | relenting 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 I 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 she 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 friend- I ship; and those- who vv'cre 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 1 most 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 ob- server she appeared to be fully engaged at any amuse- ment she was fond of— . vlien 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 ihe tear of silent agony steal down her cheek, j when she thought 110 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 iu 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 I to her feeliugs was the necessity which forced for once to submit to retract what she had said: firm as she was of purpose and always decisive, to yield to her enemies I indicted a wound she never recovered: and what gave l mere anguish still, was the thought that her enemies r j 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 slie agreed to accept the money from Parliament, she had not 10/. in the house to defray the common expences of the day, and nothing at her banker's. She expecteeteil that, on her agreeing I to take the grant, government would have given her a houso and some outfit for lier establishment, when she would have paid all her debts and have been quite satis- fied as to pecuniary affairs, for she never valued money for her own personal gratification. Instead of this, they deducted upwards of 4,000/. which they had paid for a | ! carriage and house rent." The following anecdote, which we have from the best an- I thority, illustrates at once her Majesty's kind disposition, and the complacency with which she regarded the termination of her lile: " The Queen told the doniestics that attended her 011 Sunday last, thai she wished Mr. Buseli to come to measure her for her I coffin: she asked again if he was come; the servants made ex- I cuses; she told them he must make the shell of cedar wood. Mr. Busch had dpne a little work for her in cedar wood, ( a book- case), at Connaught- place, before she left England, and lately she gave him ail 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: tills 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 lo be sent to Mr. Alderman Wood, because she had heard that he had given an order to Mr. Denew, the auctioneer, to pur- chase 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 twelve months ago, and Mr. Alderman Wood had never thought of it untill she sent the desk. But this was her Majesty's dispo- I I sition— she was always planning to do some good act. The Exe- I cutors having seen Lord Liverpool, and the Government Under- taker being ordered to arrange for the funeral, they have com- plied with her Majesty's wish. Mr. Busch was sent for, and he | I has made the shell." On the Saturday previous lo her Majesty's death, when her I professional advisers were talking with_ her Majesty about 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 hnmls of her enemies.—" And what if they do ?" ex- claimed her Majesty, " I have no papers that they may not see: they can find nothing, because tlu- re is nothing, nor ever has beeD, to impeach my character." Her legal adviser said he was perfectly aware of that; but he could not but believe that lier enemies might put there what they did not find. She re- plied, " that she had always defied their malice, and she defied it still." To amuse herself she was generally occupied two or three J hours of u morning in committing to a diary various reflections Ion the events of the preceding | day, anil as she had a great 1 relish for humour, she had ( ns 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 while away a few hours ofiime 1 that sometimes hung rather heavily, and that the purpose having been answered, it was now properHo destroy the book, espe- cially us, though written with no such intention, it might cause pain where she should grieve to produce any thing but pleasure. I She therefore ordered Mariette Brune to burn ihtf- Biary, nnd the girl accordingly burnt it. Those who knew the fact, tho unerring sagacity, with which her Majesty appreciated the characters of people almost at first sight, with the singular point of her phraseology, will regret the destruction of this manuscript as a serious loss, but all will admire the delicacy of mind which dictated its destruction. It is the wish, in a certain quarter, to hurry the Queen's funeral as much as possible; it is supposed a voluntary procession, more honorable than millions of hired mourners, will accompany the hearse a portion of the way to Harwich. The Corporation of London will no doubt form a part of this solemn cortego. 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 tie place of embarkation, when a guard of I honour will be sent on board the ship to accompany the body to Its final destination. The Executors will attend the closing scene. A considerable change took place qb Thursday in the ap- nea rnnci » of tho Roy ill corpse. On W^ Snesday nothing could cnponH ( iiti v£. 1.11 llg. iij ( if Iter x* — " « p* w reason to believe that tin eminent artist was employed to take a cast of her featnres. On. Thursday that gradual decomposition took place, which considering the violence of her Majesty's disorder, it M as wonderful it had not taken place sooner, and it would not have been possible to have done justice to her fine expressive countenance. The remains were on Thursday night consigned to a eedur coffin, and Lady Hood and Lady Ami Hamilton alternately remain in the room, thus shewing them- selves as attentive K> their dead as they were to their living mistress. The respectful tribute paid by the Citizens of London to the memory of their Queen was more general on Thursday than it j was immediately on her decease. In Fleet street, the Strand, Piccadilly, Pall- Mull, and the intersecting streets, there was not a single shop the windows of which were not partially closed: many were shut up altogether; and at the east end of I the town the expression was equally decided. Many persons already appear in black ; certainly no Court order will be necessary to make the mourning universal. These open de- monstrations of regret have their value, because they broadly give the lie to those who have insulted and libelled the Queen, uad who would ( if they could) misrepresent the state of public opinion; for the rest, it is not pomp of outward show, " ner customary suits of solemn black," that can denote the feelings of the British people truly. Carlton- palace was close shut up. The public theatres were | closed 011 Wednesday niglit, but they were open on Thursday evening, and will be closed again only on the night of the funeral. The arrangements respecting that last solemn ceremony cannot | be finally fixed until an answer shall have been received to flispatches sent to his Majesty. Thursday morning the body of lier Majesty, having been en- veloped in a sear- cloth, und attired in a shroud was placed in u cedar shell. Lord and Lady Hood and Lady Ann Hamilton were present while the body was put into it. The. shell was brought to Brandeiiburgh- house on Wednesday evening. The whole of her Majesty's household and Alderman Wood's family are in deep mourning. Ou the arrival of the orders of the Privy Counpil at the Lord Chamberlain's Office, dispatches were transmitted by the Council for the return of Mr Marsb. and others from Ireland, to attend to the preparations for the mourn- ing to be worn by the Royal Family's sevantsf. Her Majesty's | body litis decomposed so rapidly, that it must speedily be en- closed in a lead coffin. Several persons have called at Bran- | denburgh- hou. se, and expressed a wise to see the remains of her I Majesty J but in compliance to her Majesty's wish " not to be ] made a shew of," It was thought proper to refuse the applicants their request. To a mind of the most heroic and elevated character her Ma- jesty united a Heart liberal, generous, and philanthropic. Tho | dauntless perseverance with which she met anil endured the varied persecutions and ills of life, and the fortitude with which she bore the indignities and insults daily offered, evinced a lofty and magnanimous spirit, the terror of her enemies, the admira- tion of her friends! But the bodily'fatigue which her Majesty recently sustained, occasioned a derangement of the animal economy, and nature weakened by these attacks, preyed upon a heart overwhelmed by griefs of a* gigantic accumulation, and hastened the catastrophe which the nation now so universally laments. " There is no doubt that the Queen died of a broken heart: her past and present wrongs, her future prospect uneheered with a single hope, preyed acutely on her spirits; and as she dis- dained to vent her feelings in vulgar complaint, the tortured mind gradually destroyed its frail tenement. She felt her life so great a burden owing to the continued persecutions of her malignant enemies, that she courted Death the moment she saw him advancing to her relief. When, on the Friday previous to her dissolution, a delicate intimation was given her on the pro- priety of making her will, she seemed to hail with joy a hint which is usually received with terror : with her usual quick- ness she caught up the idea before it was half expressed, and said," I understand you perfectly; I am quite ready— send for my lawy ers." She spent two or three hours in calmly and deliberately giving instructions for the witl, and after signing it with a firm and unhesitating hand, exclaimed with a cheerful smile, " There, now I am ready to die." Her Majesty on the Sunday expressed a wish to " receive the sacrament, but the clergyman of ihe parish being restrained by ecclesiastical rules from performing this solemn office without previously consult- ing his principal, ihe sacred ceremony was postponed till the next day : her Majesty was labouring under the effects of me- dicine when the minister called on Monday, and he departed with the intention of attending on Tuesday; Uut then, on account of her Majesty's severe relapse, it was thought inexpe- dient to disturb her. As a proof of that suppressed grief which we have mentioned as the greut cause of her Majesty's illness, we can state on authority, that many nights previous to the last attack, her Majesty had no sleep. The female attend- ant who slept in the room noticed her restlessness, but her Majesty, with a disdain that was natural to her of weak and useless complaining, never mentioned the circumstance. I A few hours, however, before her death, she observed to a fajtliful female attendant, —" The doctors do not understand my 1 malady; it is here ( laying her hand upon her heart) but I will be 1 silent; my lips shall never make it kuown; injustice und F cruelty have triumphed."— Times. Her late Majesty's Will.— By her Majesty's Will she directs I - that Cambridge House shall be sold, and the purchase money' I paid to Mr. William Austin— it being confidently expected b'y 1 her legal advisers that she had an equitable, claim 011 Govern- ment to provide her a house. The first instalment on the pur- chase had been paid by her Majesty j arid the two next, amou. ut-' ing to 12,0001, are gauranteed by the house of Messrs. Ran- som anil 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 tiim her residuary legatee. She directs a sealed box, which she describes, to be trans-; Mitted to a merchant in the City, to whom she owed 4,3001. It is supposed to contain her diamonds. She bequeaths 5001. each to Lord and Lady Hood. She leaves a picture of. herself to Lady Anne Hamilton, one | to the Marquess Antaldi, one to the Siguor Fedici, and one to Mr. William Austin. She leaves to Dr. Lushington her coach and a picture. She leaves to Hieronymus her barouchette and her linen— nnd to the sister of Demont all her wearing apparel. Iter Italian property is not alluded to, as that was previously settled by a notarial deed. She 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 Brunswick. She requests that her body may be sent | off in three days. The following inscription to be engraved on her tombstone : — " To the Memory of Caroline of Brunswick, the injured | Queen of England.

M.— The first beacon was fired j at seven o'clock on Monday evening at Holyhead, the royal squadron being then 10 miles off. The inhabitants were ani- mated by the greatest enthusiasm.. It was confidently said that his Majesty would not land that night, anil ail retired to rest. At 12 o'clock the royal yacht anchored in the harbour. The glad tidings were conveyed with the speed of lightning through the town. At one o'clock every house in the town was lighted with candles. His Majesty, we are enabled to state, was struck with admiration at the appearance of the town. Until two o'clock, it was understood that his Majesty would sail for Dublin at four o'elock in the afternoon, chiefly grounded on the following letter, in answer to one from Sir J. Stanley, the principal Magistrate here:— " his Majesty's yacht royal George, Holyhead- bay, Aug. 0. " Mv DEAR SIR,— I have communicated to the King tho sentiments of loyalty and devotion which are contained in your letter, and in the address which accompanied it; and I am commanded by his Majesty to signify to the magistrates, clergy, freeholders, and other inhabitants of Holyhead and its neigh- bourhood, that he duly appreciates the kind expressions of at- tachment manifested towards him on the present occasion; and that though, from circumstances is at this moment prevented from lauding, that his Majesty fully purposes upon his return from Ireland, to ptly a visit to the- always loyal and dutiful island of Anglesea. " I am, m.' dear Sir, your faithful humble servant, " To Sir John Stanley, Bart." " CHARLET PAGET." But at two o'clock, p. m. the happy announcement was made, I that his Majesty would land; and immediately the beach and | | all the avenues lealin r to it were thronged with spectators. At five o'elock lis Majesty landed on the pier, amid a royal I salute from twopecesof ordnance planted before the Custom House, and the strps of the squadron. Immediately upon his landing on the pitr, Sir John Stanley, accompanied by a depu- tation of the inhatitants, presented his Majesty un address of congratulation on hisarrival, to which his Majesty answered :— " That he received with peculiar pleasure this 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 carriige of the Marquis of Anglesea was in at- tendance, and his Majesty set off for the Marquis's seat, fol- lowed by several other carriages, and hy a procession of the people at least a nrle long. The Marquis's seat is 27 miles hence. His Majesty, at present intends lo sail for Ireland to- morrow J . Moving Bog.— Mr. Griffith, mining engineer, con- I eludes his report - dative to the Moving Bog of Kilma- leady, in the Kind's co. Ireland, made by order of the Royal Dublin Society, by the following description of I .. an valley: the present appurance and state of the bog and moory " In the centre 0' the hog, for the space of a mile and a half I I in length, and a oiarter of mile in breadth, a valley has been [ formed, sloping atthe bottom from the original surface of the bog, to the depth 0 30 feet, where the eruption first took place. In this valley, or [ ulf, there are numberless concentric cuts or fissures, filled vith water nearly to the top.— The valley, between the edge if the bog and the road of Kilbride, for the length of half a nile, and tin extent of between 60 and 80 acres, may be considered ns totally destroyed. It is covered I by tolerably firm beg, from 6 to 10 feet in depth, consisting, nt I the surface, of numierless green islands, composed of detached 1 parts of the moory meadows, and of small round patches of the original heathy surfice of the bog, varying from two to ten feet I in diumeteir, which are separated from each other by brown pulpy bog; and the bed of the original stream is elevated to about 8 or 10 feet above its former course, so as to flow over I tho road.— Beyond the road to Kilbride the bog has flowed for one mile westward, and covered from fifty to seventy acres; in I this part the heath patches of bog generally lessen in quantity,. I the green islonds disappear, and nothing is observed but a thin I deposit, consisting of a granulated black bog nnid, varying I from one to three feet in thickness. This, though destructive I | for the present year, may when dry, be burnt, and removed for I manure to the neighbouring uplands, or left on the spot to ferti- lize the valley.— Thus the whole distance which the bog has flowed is about three miles in length ; namely, one mile nnd 0 half iu the bog, and the same distance over the mocry valley ; and the extent covered amounts to about 150 acres." MONDAY, AUG. 13, 1821. The Royal yacht and attendant squadron; passed by this port at eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday se'unight. Early on Sunday morning tlie squadron passed Mount's Bay, with a fine breeze from the S. E. As it fell a calm soon after, a boat was sent 011 shore from the Lee sloop of war, for fresh butter, bread, vegetables, & c. which having obtained, they rejoined the ship. A fine breeze having sprung up from the N. E. tho whole proceeded round the Land's End. The yacht, bearing the Royal Standard, led, being evidently the best sailer of the fleet. The fine appear ance of the royal squadron, each vessel carrying every stitch of canvas she could crowd, 111 order to keep up with the leading yacht; the men stationed in the tops, in blue jackets and clean white trowsers, and the number of elegant private yachts that accompanied the royal squadron, making in the whole between 20 and 30 sail, of all sizes, are described as forming a grand spectacle, even to nautical men. The whole went round the rocks at tlie Land's End, called the Long- ships, with ft fine breeze, and stood up St. George's Channel;— about five hours after the wind shifted and blew from an adverse point. ' The King, In passing the Camel in his yacht, with that urbanity that ever marks his noble character, sent Sir William Keppel and others his suite on board to enquire after the health of Madame Bertrand and family, as also the health of others, the attendants of Napoleon., On the re- - ipt here of official intellligence of the death ofhei Alaje. . y. Admiral Cochrane shifted his flag ( 0 the Windsor Castle, and tho Royal Standard was hoisted half mast high on board the Impregnable: it was also hoisted half- staff high on the Dock- yard chapel tower, and at the signal station On Mount Wise; and the ships in port exhibited the same t'oken of respect. Most of the shops are partially closed, and a general mourning is expected to take place. . At St. George's chapel, Hanover- Square, Mr. John Sounders, wharfinger, of this town, and eldest son of Mr. Saunders, hair- dresser, frankfort- place, to Sarah, eldest daughter of J. C.

Thursday— Arrived the Brothers, Hussel, from Liverpool. WEYMOUTH, Aug. 3.— The Fraternity will be gratified in learning, that our Masonic Hall has been lately very much improved. An elegant ventilator is placed in the can tic of the ceiling; the bull's eye ( which is three feet in diameter) is gilded, and the apertures for ventilation are about two inches wide, forming within that space an equilateral triangle, exe- cuted with much judgment by Brother Percy, of Sher- borne.— Around this, in plaistei', is the frieze, which is composed of pomegranates, 11 inches wide; 12 rays I emanates from the frieze, six of 6 inches long, and in a serpentine form, beautifully arranged; and the others are about half the leugth, and poin^ d, which produces a fine effect, the diameter of the whole being about ten feet six inches.— On the verge line is placed the 12 signs of the zodiac, being equi- distant from the point of each serpentine ray. There are also two roused serpents, one placed east and the other west, about 12 feet from the ventilator. The ceiling is painted blue, which gives a very imposing ap- pearance to the interior altogether. But the greatest ornament and addition is the admirable portrait of the Rt. W. Wm. Williams, Esq. P. G. M. for the county ot Dorset, which is placed opposite the throne, enriched with a most elegant frame of 11 feet by 8. It is one of the most striking and correct likenesses ever seen. He ! is sitting in a chair of state, arrayed in all the honour- able medals of masonic distinction; amongst them may be observed the costly medal presented to him by the brethren of the Grand Stewards Lodge, as Past- Master of the same: the clothing is admirably executed, aud does infinite credit to the artist; To the EDITOR of the ALFRED. SIR,— I regret that, your Newton Abbott Correspondent, in j I stating the case of the fire that took place in that town, on Sun- j day, the 5th instant, should have particularized any individuals ns having distinguished themselves on that occasion, for it can be productive of no good effect, and will only tend to produce un- [ . pleasant feelings, as all ages and sexes that were capable, did their I utmost— the proverbial characteristic of Newtonians on such occasions. Your correspondent, probably, is not aware that he has tacitly- said to the Directors of the different Insurance Offices that their I agents did nothing: I will, however, bear testimony of the attention and exertions of all of them in this place, who did as much toward extinguishing the fire, as if the property had been j their own.

The Lord Bishop of Exeter ( Dr. Carey) arrived in I in Truro on Tuesday, and held his first visitation on I Wednesday at St. Mary's church. After prayers, which was read by the worthy Rector, an appropriate sermon J was preached by the Rev. Dr. Rodd from 1 Cor. xii. 11. lyTln: Bishop, his Chancellor, and Secretary then p: o- f ceeded lo the altar, followed by all the Clergymen pre- 1 having lieeu called over, and their licenses delivered to the Chancellor, his Lordship in a clear and distinct voice delivered a most excellent Charge, in which he strongly inculcated the duties of the pastoral office, and solicited the assistance of his as- sembled Clergy, upon which he placed the strongest re- liance, to aid him in the proper discharge of the im- portant duty he had undertaken; that neither he or I they might hereafter be found wanting, but each receive the blessed salutation of " Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." HisLord- : ship also hinted his views with respect to the manage- ment of the diorcese, especially as to the residence of the Clergy, and encouraged those who are but indifferently provided for, immediately to apply for Queen Anne's bounty, which he thought there would be no difficulty in obtaining. His Lordship also held a confirmation | on Wednesday and Thursday, when 1279 children, 1 of whom 593 were males, and 686 females, re- I ceived that rite.— At the conclusion of the ceremony ou Thursday, the Bishop delivered a very impressive ad- dress to the young persons present. After the first day's ceremony his Lordship dined with the Clergy at Pearce's Hotel; and on Thursday he dined at Tehidy Park with the Right Hon. Lord De Dunstanville. The Lord Bishop confirmed at Redruth on Friday; Saturday at I St. Ertli; this day aud to- morrow at Penzance; on Wednesday at Helston ; on Thursday at Mawnam; and on Friday next at Penryn. Harvest has commeneed in a few fields at Callington, which have been affected by the rust, but in general the wheat has a fiue appearance. Barley is also very fine, but not so heavy as last year. At Boscastle fair, on Monday last, there was a good ! shew of sheep and lambs, which, we are happy to learn, met with a ready sale, and at an advance ofabout 2s. a- liead, above the prices obtained at the late neighbour- ing foirs. There was a fine shew of cattle at the fair of St. Stepheus, by Launeeston, 011 Monday last, and a great number were sold ; but the prices obtained were low. The weather has been unfavourable for the pilchard I fishery during the greater part of the week : none of the scans have yet taken any fish, and but few have been caught by the driving boats, though several large shoals have been seen off the coast. On Monday evening, as Mrs. Cock, Wife of Capt. W. Cock, of Padstow, was crossing the ferry, from St. I Minver to the former place, she was suddenly taken ill; as soon as the boat reached the shore, she was placed on a chair on the beach, but she expired before she could ] be taken to a house. Caution to Tailors.— About a fortnight since a black- smith, of Padstow, bought a piece of cloth for a coat, which, with the necessary trimmings, he had bound in a bundle ; and being suspicious that the tailor he meant to employ was addicted to cabbaging, he hit on. the following novel mode of discovering if any fraud had been practised 0n him. He placed the bundle in a I well- balanced scales, aud carefully noted the number of pounds and ounces, it weighed;— when the coat, was sent home, he weighed it in the same scales, when he found the garment weighed 24 ounces less than the I materials did of which it was composed. The enraged son of Vulcan immediately repaired to the ingenious tailor, whom he loudly charged with fraud, and | demanded the restitution of the cabbaged property. The man of shears indignantly repelled the charge, and I insisted that the loss had fairly taken place iu the pair- ings, & c. necessary. The blacksmith is by no means satisfied with this explanation, and threatens to pro- secute the tailor for a fraud. ( CAREFULLY CORRECTED.) CORN EXCHANGE, Aug. 10. The arrival of Wheat since Monday has been moderate, I which, with what remained over fron thai day's market, met a ready sale ta- day on quite as good terms. Barley, Beans, and Pease, are steady in value; and Oats, though in goad supply this week, fully maintain Monday's | prices, jn othor we nave uo alteration to notice. CURRENT PRICES OF GRAIN.
