DEATH OF HIS SANDWICH MAJESTY. FURTHER PARTICULARS. - - Tuesday afternoon his Majesty became worse, and at night it was found necessary to send for Dr. Ley, from his house, Mount street. On the arrival of that Gentleman, be found that his Ma jesty was in a very low state, and death appeared to be approaching fast. The King. on seeing Dr. Ley, caught him by the hand, and said, in his own language, " I am dying; I know I am dying."— Ile continued very sensible, and knew all around him. Madame Poki, the Governor's Lady, was particularly attentive to his Ma jesty ; she supported his head from one o'clock till the time the vital spark had Bed : Poki, the Governor, and the rest of the suite, were supporting their Royal Master's legs at the foot of the bed.— At two o'clock he became alarmingly worse, and he seemed then not to know any person ; the Admiral was brought into the room, sad was affected to tears. The King took no notice of bins, nor of any other person abcut h . m. From that tine till four o'clock he kept continually saying, " I shall lose my tongue;" and jest before be breathed his last, his Majesty faintly said—" Farewell to yoti all !—I am dead !—I am happy !" after uttering these words he ex pired in the arms of Madame Poki. The physicians noticed a gradual increase in his Majesty's dis order since the lamented death of his Royal Consort; and on the afternoon of Monday last, after her 'Majesty's remains had been de po,ited in St. Martin's Church, he made anxious inquiries of hie attendants if they had seen her safely entombed; on being an swered in the affirmative, he said he was happy, and that he hoped he should soon be with her. About half-past one o'clock, Sir Matthew Tierney was shewn the body of his Majesty, and be declared that his death occurred through the formation of a large abscess on the lungs. Nladanie Poki still remains in a bad state, and many of the suite appear very unwell. As his Majesty perceived the hour of his dissolution to approach, he requested the French Gentleman who accompanied him to this country, to expreis his earnest desire that his remains, together with those of his late beloved wife, should be removed to his native island, as soon as the Governor and his attendants were sufficiently recovered to see that melancholy duty perforated. His Majesty also gave directions, leaving all his effects in this country to the Governor for his use, as well as that of his other attendants. His Majesty was particularly attached to Captain Statbuck, and on a recent occasion expressecthis determination not to return to his own country without bim. (Copy.) " Adelphi July 14, 18'24.

" HUGH LEY." THUNDER STORM. Last night the metropolis was visited with one of the most severe storms of thunder and lightning we ever witnessed. It commenced about nine o'clock, when the lightning flashed every instant—the loud thunder pealed in the sky, and the rain descended in torrents. The lightning was peculiarly vivid, and many of the flashes bad the api earance of a vast sheet of snlphureous flame. The storm con tinued fur upwards of three hours, though the raialliad ceased for some time; but about twelve o'clock it fell in such torrents, that it resembled one continued stream of water. At Vauxhall Gardens, where the rain fell as heavy as in the Qty, when the wa ter-spout like a torrent fell, several persons thought that some pipe connected with the hydraulics had burst, and called out to that effect. The broad expansive illumination of the lightning, when contrasted with the mimic blaze of the artificial lights and fireworks, was awfully impressive. In the East part of London much damage has been done by the rain. The gratings of the sewers being stopped, caused many places to form a sheet of water a foot or more high—such was the state of Lower East Smithfield and many parts of Wapping. In Goodman's-yard, Mineries, the water was above two feet high. The different wherries on the north side of the River, at break of day, were nearly full of water ; so muck so, that at Billingsgate nut a boat could put off to the Dutch ships, for eels. &c. till dia. charged of their water freightage. We have not heard of any particular damage amongst the shipping in the lower part of the River, which, we hope, have escaped. The arrivals in London this morning, by the Mails, state it was one of the most awful thunder-storms remembered for a long time. Its commencement at Portsmouth and Hastings was at half-past seven in the evening, and continued, with little intermission, all night, accompanied with heavy rain. The horses, in some instances, were almost ungovernable. —We have not heard of any particular accident having occurred to any of them, and all the mails arrived in due time. At a place called Blaster, between Banbury and London, two cows and a bull were killed by the lightning, several houses were unthatched, chins nies thrown down, and much mischief done. The storm, which was so severe in the evening in London, be gan much earlier in the country. About one o'clock in the after noon, Enfield, Waltham Cross, Chesbunt, and their vicinity, felt the severest. It was accompanied with lightning, thunder, and torrents of bail. The devastation occasioned by the latter was very great, sonic of the stones being of the dimension of pigeons' eggs. The grounds of H. Meux, Est of Theobalds, suffered considerably ; nearly 100 panes of glass were destroyed. Two ducks were killed by the lightning, and a sawyer was knocked down by the electric laid having entered his hand, which it severely lacerated, and then passed off through the saw into the earth, without doing further mis diet. Several panes of glass were broken at the Great Bull's Cross. At some distance from London the storm commenced at an earlier hour—in the neighbourhood of Bre:bourne, in Hert. fonlshire, as early as between twelve and one o'clock in the day. The showers of bail were excessively heavy, and hail stones were picked up of extraordinary size. Some of them were one inch and a half in -diameter, and almost every pane of glass was broken, from the ten mile stone at Enfield Wash to lioddesdon. Sir A. Herne, at Wormleybury, has suffered consi derably; the Rev. Picktball, at Broxbourne Vicarage, and Mr. Waller, of the Mill, have also sustained considerable loss. The Duke of GLOUCESTZR has been unanimously elected Lord High Steward of Gloucester, in the room of the late Lord Hamar Momtaux How Aim The accounts from Scotland and Yorkshire state, that moor-game is in greater plenty this season than for several years back. The sportsmen of the South are preparing for action even at this distance of time. The Eton scholars are preparing their speeches and all the requisite essentials for the day of election, when the large inns at Salt-bill, Windsor, and Eton, will be in active operation, to provide via n d s f or the young Tyr:a, to celebrate their holidays, which will commence the moment the speeches are over. The Historical Tragedy of The Czar, of which we dull give an early and more detailed notice, is of the Old School— it is m uc h read, the language is poetical, and the Plot most highly interesting. The author was, we believe, the friendof GAZZACZ. The inimitable CATALAN drew last night another crowded audience at Drury-lane, and gave her Scala and all her airs with that power of voice and excellence of execution which leave descriptive language far be hind.

GREENWOOD. _ _ _ Mr. Coustow SZRJEANT stated the circumstances.— The plaintiff, Elizabeth Irving, brought this action for one of the most serious evils which could befal a young woman. Both parties were still young. She was a young woman of the highest character. She had been living with her mother, who carried on the business of a poulterer, 6:c. in Wallingford, Berks, in the highest credit. The defendant was the son of a Gentleman farmer. He paid his addresses to her with the utmost earnestness and assiduity. In 1818 he came to town with her to be married, but she being under age, and a license being therefore necessary, they delayed the cere mony. In 1819 she had the small pox, which only called forth warmer expressions of affection from him. The consequences did not render her less attractive, and made no change in his attentions. She left Wal lingford, and set up in the same business with her mother, at Twickenham. There he visited her, and was on the eve of marriage, dresses, Ike. being bought; but his father-in-law now and his elder brother took him away. His attentions were continued up to Ja nuary, 1822, when, under promise of marriage, he triumphed over her virtue. Jr. November she was de livered of a child. The defendant then neglected her, and had since married another Lady of greater opu lence than the plaintiff. In these circumstances the Jury were called upon to give damages. Whatever objection could be made by another party, it did not lie with the defendant to found an objection on the success of his own promises, and the confidence the young woman reposed in his vows. They would consider the affliction of her mind, the reproaches of the world, and the ruin of her prospects in life; all occasioned by the misconduct of the defendant, and they would give such damages as the case called for. Elizabeth Irving is the mother of the plaintiffs lives at Wallingford; my daughter is 24; has been living with me always, except four months; defendant is a Gentleman farmer; has been particularly acquainted with my daughter since 1815 ; they have been together since childhood ; in 1818 he made proposals of mar riage, and wished my daughter very much to go with him to London; I said they were both very young, and he had better wait for some time; he was impatient, saying he would write to his friends Mr. and Mrs. Cowdry, in London, 419, Strand, to be all prepared; my daughter was quite willing, and I gave my consent; my daughter went three or four days before; he said his father was to accompany him ; he came back in ten days; he told me that the marriage could not take place, because he hail not my consent in writing; I could not write ; he was to send a postchaise to Reading, in which Mrs. Cowdry was to convey my daughter to London ; this was in February, 1818; after my daugh ter's return from London, we met Mr. Greenwood one day in the fields; he expressed much affection to my daughter. He said his father was to get him a farm. I sent her to Twickenham for four months, during which she kept a poulterer's shop. Mr. Greenwood called on me in the meantime, leaving a letter every week for my daughter. He asked what sized house my daughter kept in Twickenham, as he was going to see her. He said it would be much better to be married, as being more convenient for her business. He obtained my consent for them to be married at Richmond, at the house of Mr. Hunt. He went away in a one-horse chaise. He came back in a few days, without having been allowed to complete the marriage. His present father-in-law and his brother carried him off. He called on me, expressing his great disappointment and sorrow, but said he would still marry my daughter. He came to comfort me ; my daughter came to Wallingford from Twickenham, according to Mr. Greenwood's wish, that they might be nearer together. She fell very ill with the small-pox, and was not expected to live. Mr. Green wood called frequently, saying he endeavoured to make her his wife, and should never be happy if she died, but thanked Goo she would live and be his wife. In spring, 1822, I first perceived a change in his affections ; he did not come so often to visit her. He walked with her in August in the same year. in the afternoon. In No vember my daughter was confined. In June, 1825, he married Miss Elizabeth Sheel. My daughter was in' very bad health before her confinement in November; she was in very low spirits on account of his neglect; she has never recovered since; she would not believe' that Mr. Greenwood was - married to another till she saw s him going to church. The shock affected her greatly,, I never encouraged Mr. Greenwood to marry her; I rather objected to the match, telling him teat his rank was greater than ours. . Cross-examined.-4 sell poultry and eggs; I never bought eggs of Mr. Greenwoodyfather; I bought th em of others. resat goods to Tvrickenhain to my dabghter to sell; she paid the rent of the house. A man of die name of Allwright lived in the house at Twickenham, with cry daughter. I know a woman at Wallingford of the name of Lecourt. She is as old woman ; I mean Miss Le mon ? I have seen ker. Is she not a woman of the town t !don't know; she cam e t o tiay shop to buy things. Did All wr i g h t ta k e care of your daughter? No.—Did she take care of him? No.— (Laughter.) Did h. never live with you? Not he is an old man. Allwright never slept in my house ; he never proposed marriage to me ;he was an old man. Not too old for you?—l do not know. Re-examined.—Is not Allwright an old man? Yes; past 4o? Yes; men put 46 are going down the 11111—(Loud laughter). Did he commit a breach of the peace against you ? Yes. Mrs. Leman is the widow of aFrenchman; she is a charwoman, and washed for me. The brother of the plaintiff, and other witnesses, corroborated that of her mother. Mr. ScAncery said, that after the evidence which had been adduced, he had no d ou b t t h at somet hi ng o f a promise of marriage had passed between the parties. But he sho u ld lik e to see some of the great many letters said to have passed weekly between the parties. They would be better evidence of the defendant's intentions than anything which they had h ear d. H e would :hew by evidence the defendant was justified in not marrying the plaintiff, even if he bad made a promise of marriage. Here was a woman selling poultry and eggs, seeing a Gentleman visiting her daughter, notwithstanding the disparity of their situations; and who took care not to inform his father of the intercourse. What did the Jury think of the mother's discretion in sending a young girl, only nineteen years of age, to Twickenham, solely un protected —except that of the man in the house?— What would they think when he told them that the child which she had was not by the defendant, but by another person living in the house with her? That was the ieason (and a good one it was) that the defendant left her. One witness said, that the society she kept was that of the cocks and hens I—(Laughter). He would prove that the young lady kept company at Twicken ham, was out late at night, and made frequent assigna tions. Several witnesses were called, with a view of shewing the plaintiff to be an immodest woman. The Cosmos; SERJSANT replied. The case had as sumed a more stsious character than it did at first. The defendant had not only triumphed over the plaintiff's virtue, but had left her with her character blasted, her peace of mind ruined, and her prospects in life destroyed. The Nue ionic!, in summing up, said there was no doubt of a promise of marriage having been made by the defendant. The Jury retired for 55 minutes, mid then returned with a ver dict fOr the plaintiff—Damages .000. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 14. SATCHSLL V. LUCAS AND OTHERS. This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middlesex, to recover possession of goods which they had seized under an execution; the person whose goods they were, having, as it was alleged, previously transferred all pro perty in them to the present plaintiff. The plaintiff, James Satchell, was valet to Mr. Warm, the Member for Taunton. His nephew, Thomas Satchell, to whom the goods had belonged, was a butcher, residing at Mill-hill. A verdict with 51. damages, had been re covered against him, for shooting a dog, which be stated had injured him, in the neighbourhood, and he lost all his trade. The execution was levied for the costs and damages in this action. He was called, however, to prove that on the 30th of May previous to the execu tions he conveyed all the property to the plaintiff, his uncle, and that his uncle had at different times lent him money, and supplied him with articles, such as rope, choppers for killing oxen, &c. he carrying on the busi ness for him, and receiving an allowance out of it of sos. per week. Chief Justice BEST observed that there was a positive Statute which declared. that although consideration was paid, yet if it was with the knowledge of, and intent to defeat an execution, it was fraudulent and void. Mr. Serjeaut WILDE,who conducted the plaintiff's case, contended, that it would not touch this case. Bevan, Satchell': father-in-law, said he was present on the 30th May, when the deeds of conveyance were executed. After that time the property became the plaintiff's. He himself had lent Thomas Satchell, who was distressed, money to carry on his business; but he bad lost all his books and accounts concerning it. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN began to address the Jury on the part of the defendant. His Learned - Friend, Mr. Serjeant Pell, sitting between himself and his Learned Brother Wilde, had said that he sat between the laugh ing and crying philosophers. He (Mr. Serjeant Vaughan) hoped the"character of the laughing philoso pher applied to him, for certainly it was more pleasant to go through the world with a smiling than a weeping countenance. He was not surprised, however, that his Learned Brother Wilde had had his "sweet milk of h u man nature" soured this hot weather; for of all the cases which had ever come before a Court, this was the most suspicious. From his experience in Courts, he always began to suspect fraud when he saw that two or three witnesses and the plaintiff were relations. This case smelt as strong of fraud as any of the meat in Satchel' the butcher's shop; it was more than Ay-blown; it was actually alive with fraud. He observed upon the num ber of persons who had been made defendants in this action. The complainants were not content with the Sheriffs and Sheriffs' officers, but they had dragged in the poor innocent Attorney as a victim to he sacrificed on the altar of this butcher. The Learned Serjeant was proceeding, when he was interrupted by The Loan Com Josue; who said that he would ask the Jury at this stage of the case, whether they believed the bill of sale to be a fair and open proceeding, or the whole to be a fraud ? Mr. Serjeant Wuna-11 your Lordship intends to put the question to the Jury in such a manner, I wish to have it put on the record. The LOSD Cease Janes—Will you permit the Jury to answer my question? Mr. Setjeant Wassa—lf I do, t cannot do what I wish. lam precluded from it when the Jury have delivered their verdict. The Loan Cuter Juence—Well, if I am to have a bill of ex ceptions tendered in every trumpery case, I will have it done in the old regular and formal way. You must hand in your exceptions to me before the Court rises. Mr. Serjeant Wuna—l must do what your Lordship requires, and I will do it, though I believe I cannot necessarily be required to do so. The Loan Cuter Juntas—l don't know that; but I shall re- quire it to be done. What is your exception ? For Ido not yet understand upon what grounds you can pretend to except. Mr. Serjeant Wit.or—l except to your Lordship's leaving the question to the Jury in the manner your Lordship has just done. I contend that upon the evidence, as it stands at present, it is not competent to y o ur L or d s hip t o call upon the Juryto decide whether the assignment is fraudulent or not. It is not competent to the de fendants to dispute the plaintiff's property ; for, as between the plaintiff and his nephew, the assignment is a complete transfer, and upon that the defendants are bound, as the conversion is complete. The LORI/ Cuter Jeirsos—You misunderstand my direction, brother Wilde. .1 left it io the Jury to ay, whether they believed it to be a fair and bona,* transaction; er whether it was not, upon the whole a fraud. Mr. Serjeant Wu.na--I did not so understand it, my Lord; and even so, I consider it my duty to except to your Lordship's direction. Mr. Serjeant Yawata—My brother Rough, who is not in the cause, has taken down your Lordship's words, and they are exactly as your Lordship stated. Mr- Suitt* Bess—l hops I ant not intim?*oa tho Omit when I state, that your Lordship left it to the Jury to dui& who. dor the whole was not a fraud. I had the word 14 whole as my note, and on that word I conceived your Lordship's dkeeties to turn. lam sorry for thus interfering in this case, and I trust that my motives in so doing win not be misinterpreted. The Loa. Coley Jusxma--I certainly intended to leave it in the, way to the Jury; and I am almost positive that I did so leave It. I appeal to you, Gentlemen of the Jury, and also to the Gentlemen at the Bar,wbesher I did not leave it in the manner I have described? Several Gentlemen of the Jury said at once, " We so understood it—we find it to be an attempt to defraud." Mr. Serjeant Wass again repeated his deterudnation to except to the direction of the Learned Judge. He then wrote down his exception, read it, and offered it to his Lordship. The LORD CMS? Justice—ls this fair dealing ' , lastly Judge? Mr. Serjeant Wane—l certainly mean to deal both fairly and respectfully to your Lordship. The Loun Cofer Justus—Respectfully ! You have, then. an odd way of shewing your respect. Mr. Serjeant Wune—At the same time that I thew my respect to your Lordship, I am religiously bound to do my duty to my client. I m de e si e re th y e o r u d , irec Sir a , t y o o s r it ind dow i z tly lf . Yoe o aga ugli i h n tle d n e Lo i l e Sin y r o C, u sit ti er si reP t j d ulys o: u r e ; —n or I will adopt measures Mr. Serjeant Wicrit—l hope I shall never reply indecently upon any Judge; but I ant determined at all events always to perform my duty to my client. The Loan Cuter Josticr—" If you reply as me, I will send you to the Fleet." Mr. Serjeant Wttne—(With great warmth).—l ant ready to go where your Lordship pleases • but I will say, that no th re at fro m any Judge (and I sa y i t with the most profound respect),—l repeat, that no threat from any Judge shall deter me, (and I beg that the warmth of my m a nn e r may not b e m i st aken —for I am more hurt than irritated); I again repeat, that no threat shall ever deter me from saying that which I conceive it to be my duty to say, foe the interest of my client. I am ready to go either to the Fleet, or wherever else your Lordship should think it proper to send me. The LORD Cuter Joshes—l used no threat, Sir. 8ut........ Stop this instant, Sir, or I'll send you there. Mr. Serjeant Wu.oz—Your Lordship will set u seems most proper to your Lordship's discretion; bat I repeat, with the pro foundest respect to your Lordship-.a respect which lam always bound to pay to a Judge under any dreumstances--that I am bound, and am determined to do my duty to my client, cost what It may. The Lou Cum JUSTICR—I think I have great reason to com plain. I have always been disposed to treat everybody kindly. My motive seems to have been mistaken, or at least not fairly ap preciated. But I must say this, that if the practice be persisted in at the bar, of muttering against the determination of the Judge, in a tone of voice audible not only to the Judge, but to all around, I shall be obliged to take a course which may be eseessivell dia agreeable to all parties concerned, and more particularly to me. Mr. Serjeant Wuze—That observation, I am sure, does not apply to me. lam in the recollection of the bar. The LORD Crisp JUSTIOR—.•Yon have done it this very day, Sir. It is, and always has been, my wish, as it is my interest, that the business of this Court should be conducted pleasantly; but this practice must not go on. Mr. Serjeant Wilms again tendered his bill of exceptions. The Lou) Caner Jurrics (repeating what he had before aid).— " I will not seal so absurd a bill of exceptions." Mr. Serjeant Wutze—l think it, however, my duty to tender it to your Lordship. Loam Cater Jouster—l repeat it again- 0 I will not seal so lb surd a bill of exceptions." You may tender it, and bring your ac tion, if you please upon the statute ; and I will defend it. Mr. Serjeant Mims requested his Lordship to recollect that be had tcndeied his exception. Lost) Cuter Justice—Certainly. The verdict of the Jury, which was for the defendants, was then recorded. Mr. Serjeant Worm having repeated his observations es to the tendency of the Judge's charge— The Loup Cour Jurrice, not having observed that the Jury were sworn in another case, said be would again pet the quesdes to the Jury. Mr. Serjeant Wime observed, * You cannot, my Lords the Jury have been discharged, and are re -sworn in another cause." THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET. The young Lady who made her appearance here on Saturday last, as Rosina, resumed her performance in that character last night. In the course of the enter tainment she very successfully introduced the song of " Domestic Peace," the composkion of STORACZ. After this came Sweethearts and Wives. Madame VESTRIS was rapwrsously encored in " Where are you wandering," to which she gave a most fascinating air. The inimi. table Lamm convulsed his audience as Billy Lackaday. In his famous ditty, " Sure mortal man was born to sor row," nothing but a repetition as rich in humour as the original would satisfy the house. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. The Opera of Love in a Village was performed here last night, with an unusually powerful cast. In the singing parts there were BEAltAhl, PHILLIPS, BROAD. HURST, Miss Povay, and the debutante Miss Non.; whilst the chief acting of the Opera was left in the hands of BARTLEY, RAYNER, and Miss KELLY. It is needless to add, that such talent threw a general effect into the Piece which is not often equalled. The Opera closed amidst universal applause. OLD BAILEY-I HIS DAY. —....-- The general Sessions commenced this morning, at the Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice EVIRODetf, the Loan blAvoa, Mr. Sefjeallt Mum, the Aldermen, &c. 'llse Calendar, of the present Session contains a list of leg pri soners for trial. There are, however, upwards of 900 prisoners; the remainder having been committed since the Calendar was drawn up. CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER. Nut Robinson was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with stealing, on the 9th of May, from the barracks at Hounslow, in the dwelling-house of our Sovereign Lord the King, belonging to the Medical Department, a Bank of England Note for 4S, the property of James Dawn, to whom the prisoner acted as a servant. The prosecutor described leaving his writing-desk in his room, in which hr had placed three XS notes. On the 10th of May, having missed the note, he questioned the prisoner, who strongly denied any knowkdge of it. Two days after, a victualler resident at Hounslow, named Lester produced to him a note which he knew to be hi s property.
