For some time a lingering sense of shame kept these resolves secret ; but now they are exposed to the light of day, and they attest the existence of anew species of public law, ofsrhich 'the most profound publicists of the two last ages had not even a suspicion. THE QUEEN. The following is the account brought from Kew this morning, and the only answer given tethe nume rous solicitous enquiries after the Quaex's health : " Her MAJESTY is much the same." Her MAJESTY has been somewhat more at ease since Monday evening. On the preceding Friday, after haying eaten a tolerably hearty dinner, she was attacked with one of those violent spasmodic affec tions in the stomach, which form so alarmirg a fea ture in her ip lisposition, and she remair.2d partially under its . infltwace during the greater part of the three following days. On the Monday evening she was again somewhat better, and has continued since that time rather improving in health than otherwise ; at least, comparatively with her general state for the last three weeks; and these favourable appearances induced Royal Highness the Pal SCE REGENT to make his trip to the Pavilion. /kr AlittJ ESTY'S disorder, however, has several times assumed an appearance of almost en tire abatement, but has constantly returned with the greater violence, and it is therefore to be feared her present improvement may be but transient. The house in which her MAJESTY resides, is that usually called " The Prince's Old Howe," (being the one in which the PRINCE REGENT spent the early part of his youth); and, independently of its unfitness for a Royal residence, in point of accommodation, it is, in common with the whole neighbourhood of Kew, most disadvantageously situated for invalids labour ing riteler that description of complaint, with which her MAJESTY is afflicted. On this account it is, as well as from the desire which her MAJESTY may have expressed to see the KING, that her removal to Winds 4 has been contemplated. No preparations, however, are yet making for that purpose. The Pat= RiGENT left Carlton-house, last night, at half-past six o'clock, fee the Pavilion at Brighton, attended by Sir B. BLOOMFIELD and the Rev. Mr. BLosmano. Every preparation had been made for setting forward at ten o'clock in the morning, but the heat was so excessive that his Royal Highness, from a feeling of humanity to the horses, postponed his journey tiU the cool of the evening. His Royal Highness is expected to return to town on Friday ; but should no pestieular•Oange sake place in the" state of the Qvarx, it is probable that his abser.ce may be extended to Monday. He has, however, sig nified his intention of returning by that day at fat , thest ; and, in t'.:e mean time, expresses- from Kew will be sent to hirn daily. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of 'Kaxr, attended by*General Wt-', rtesnat t , &c. left Kensington Palace. and proceeded to Woolwich, to view the different establishments! there. On the Royal Dike and Duchess's leaving Woolwich, they prncceded to Claremont, where they are expected to remain several days. Tuesday afternoon, Prince LEOPOLD, attended by, Col. ADDENBROICE and Baron Hattnnsattocicz, took an excursion on the river Thames, between Weitmin nor and London bridges. Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, his Royal Highness, attended by Sir Rottriur GAttaixes, left town for Claremont, in h s curricle. Baron litymeotoT, the Prussian Ambassador, gave a most superb entertainment, on Tuesday, at his resi dence, in Portland-place, to the PRINCE IIr:,ENT Among other distinguished personates invited to meet his Royal Highness, were the Duke of WEL LINGroN, the Duke of SAN CARLOS, Lord CASTLE REAGII, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, Mr. AIIBLITII. NOT, Dr. BLOMBERG, and Mr. Lo cc. According to the present arrangemmus, and pro- vided no very material change for the worse takes place in the state of the Qui:Em's health, the Duke and Duchess of CAM IDUE will finally leave Kew on Monday nest, and return to South Audley-street, where they will pass the short period which will Ll tervene before they leave England, on their return to Hanover. This event will probably take place on Monday se'nnight, the 17th instant, after their Royal Highnesses have been present at the celebration, of the Duke of YORK'S Birth-day, at Oatlands. The Birth-day occurs on the 16th, but that falling on a Sunday, we understand it is intended to celebrate it on the previous Saturday. FLORENCE, Amy 15.—Monday last his Excellency Lord 13URCH ERSH, Envoy Extraordinary tee this Court, invested with the Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Rear-Admiral Sir Timms FREMANTLE, at the residence of the Em bassy. The new Knight was introduced by their Excellencies the Privy Counsellors Fossoma ROWE' and NERI, Grand Crosses of the Order of St. Joseph, who attended the ceremony. The ceremony was attended by the persons attached to the British Embassy, as well as by Mr. DAwitrss, Captain ST. AUEYN, Vis count Dutos, and the Hon. Colonel HALIDURTON. Immediately after tn.: ceremony a Grand Ball took place, which was honoured by the presence of our august Sovereign, their Imperial Highnesses the He reditary Prince and Princess, and the Archduchess MANIA LOCISA. The apartments of the Palace of the Embassy were magnificently illuminated. The supper on the occasion was in the first style of splen dour: among the ornaments were, the busts of his Royal the PRINCE. REGENT, his Grace the Duke of Wawsioros, Mr. PITT, add Mr. PEREZ VAL. The Royal Family and Court were placed at a sepa rate table of forty covers. The company, consisting of the Nobility, Re. amounted to above 800.. After , •iiiper the ball recommenced, their Royal Highnesses and ;hurt remaining nearly the whole of the evening. Tag &W Y. Friday the fourth troop of the 6th (or Enniskillen) Dragoons arrived at Piershill Barracks, near Edin burgh. This troop completes the four troops that are to be stationed there under the command of Co lonel SrnArow, C.B. Two troops are statioazd at Newcastle, and two at Carlisle. His Excellency Sir MILLS NIGHTINGALE., G.C.B. and Commander-in-Chief at Bombay, East Indies, has been pleased to appoint Major W:a. P. TUCKER, to be Deputy-Quarter-Master-General to the forces on that es:ahlishment ; and Captain CHARLTON B. TUCKER, to be Military Secretary, avid Aid-de-Camp to his Excellency the Lieutenant-General. Thee offi cers are two of the brothers of the late Lieutenant- Colonel G. J. B. TL:CICLEI, D.A.G. and of Capt.i:: N. B. TUCKER, A.D.C. who were both unfortimately lost in his Majesty's late ship Primrose, on their return to the Peninsula, where they had served on the staff of! Sir ARTIUR NVELLE6L.EY, K.B. and Brigadier-General NIGH/INC./ILL. The Right Honourable the Governor of Bombay, Sir EVAN NZPEAN, Batt. has been pleased to appoint Captain C. B. TUCKER, 2lth Light Dragoons, to a seat in the Council of that Presidency. The aikke of WELLINGTON'S Spanish Aide-de- Camp the gallant and able General ALAVA) has ac compaCied his Grace to London, and has taken up his abode at the residence of the Duke of SAN CA it- Los, in Portland-place. General ALAVA is aboat 45 years of age, very soldier-like in his air and manner, extremely affable and unaffected, and bears the cha racter of a very generous and liberal-minded Officer. He has been attached to the Duke of WELLINGTON for many years, and always close to his Grace upon every service of danger. Colonel litnvev, who has lost an arm in the service of his country, and is Secre tary to the British Hero, also accompanied the Duke of WELLINGTON to London, and has taken up his abode at Apsley-hcuse. The Duke of WELLINGTON was among the gay throng at Vauxhall Gardens yesterday evening, to see the astonishing performances of Madame SAQUI.— As soon as his Grace was recognized, the Duke of YORK'S Band struck up the appropriate airs of " See, rbe congnering Hero comes!' and the t‘ BlitiJi Gre nadiers.' The Right Hon. C. ARBUTHNOT gave a grand en tertainment yesterday, to the Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON, Mr. W. W. POLE, and a large party of distinguished personages, at his house, Downing-stieci.; Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, the remains of Lord Viscount ANSON were removed from his Lord ship's house in St. James's-square, for interment in the family vault in Staffordshire, attended by his sons, the Hon. GEORGE and HENRY Alsox, as chief mour ners, his Lordship's brothers, confidential servants, &c. Mr. CANNING, though he still walks with difficulty, we are happy to state, was so far recovered yester. day as to be able to attcnd the Cabinet Council. The Special 'Committee and Sub-Committee of Drury-lane Theatre have at length declared open war against each other's authority. The former have se:ved an official notice on the latter, not to make any eagagemesse for the-ensuing seesott, without ttw approbation of the body of the Proprietors, which notice the Sub-Committee, it is said, iefuse to obey. ' The dispute between the Committee of Drury lane Theatre and Ei.LisroN e respecting the Olympic Theatre, has terminated in his fat our, the Law Offi cers of the Crown having reported.lhax his perform ances there are no infringements of the patent. Covent-garden Theatre is already in an active state of preparation for the commencement of the ensuing season, which takes place, this year, in the first week of the next month. Mr. TERRY and the three Misses Dex NETT are in the Covent-Garden list of d;sellirged performers. Mr. TERRY'S engagement, which was a verbal one, he understands does not expire bef ore th e en d o f the next season. Mrs. Et;l' RYON'S articles do not ter minnte until the same period. The Miss KEL LI who is in the list of new engaE,,e at Covent-Garden for the ensuing season, is not Miss F. Ket LY, of the Drury-lane and English Opera I louses, but the sister of Mrs. Hut, also engased at Covent-Gal den, and both daughters of MY. kaLLY, Mar....,er of the Southampton Theatre. The friends' of the respectable STYPIIEN KIMBLE tell him jocosely, on his appointment to the manage ment at Drury.lane, that, if he fail to fill the house, he is, at least, sure to " fill the stage." FtsuroxAßLE BotixrT.--Ladlr. complains bit terly to Lady X. of the l ate m odern fashion of mak ing bonnets. She concludes thus—" For my part I cannot say that I feel perfectly easy about thematter, far 1 !•ave wci Aad a single kin since I first score the bonnet : No wonder—for it is impossible for any creature, except it be a horse, or some other long snouted animal, to get near enough r Several shocks of an earthquake were felt at Pau on the 19th ult. about seven in the morning ; and se veral oscillations took place in the chain of the Py renees. This phenomenon was followed by a heavy rain and great electrical explosions. In Sanda, one of the Orkney Islands, the sand.has been lately blown away to the depth of nearly twenty feet, and has discovered the remains of buildings of vast antiquity, inclosed by stone walls nearly half a mile in extent ; some of the houses are very large, and roofed with stones of a prodigious size. Thereare se veral circular tumuli, each containing three graves, none of which are more than 4 feet 6 inches long. There is not the slightest tradition that can throw any light on these very interesting and curious remains, which have yet been very slightly investigated, The following is a copy of an article from the IVestehester New York herald, dated junto;---. Some time last week Mr. John LAcocx. of this place, a Gentleman of undoubted integrity and veracity, while splitting a cedar tree into citiarter,, for posts, discovered in the heart of it, a hying toad, about half-grown. The cavity in which it was lodged was but merely,large enough to contain it, and there was not even the smallest communication from the cavity for .the circulation of any air ; the tree was perfectly solid, and, from its size, is sup posed to be at least of twenty or thirty years growth. As soon as the tree was quartered, the toad (conscious of having regained its liberty) instantl: leaped from its confinement, and still NAKIL INTELLIC.ENCL GztrrNtaxn Fisitrnr.—Arrived at Hull, on tile 3d iniant, the Jelin, 13 fish; Shannon, IS fi sh; and Duncombe, S fish.

The wreck of a timber-laden vessel, with her stern and bottom out, was towed into this harbour last night, having been fallen in with close to the Long sand Head ; she is apparently between 300 and 440 tons burthen, black bottom and white sides, With two black streaks, lower masts painted whi te; w h en boarded, her ma;t4 o ' and rigging were hanging over the side, which the 4.ailors were obliged to cut away to get her clear. The stove of the caboose has the maker's name upon it—" Ohver, 2fsG, Wapping."— Tile timber, deals, &c. which remained on deck and below, are discharging. The sailors report, that a considerable quantity cf square timber was floating in all directions near the wreck, when they boarded her : also the long-boat, full of water, with the name " Thos. Watson, within the stern. The bottom of a ship answering to the above wreck, was towed c 1 shore here yesterday evening. As no tidings of the crew have as yet reached this place, it is conjectured and hoped they must have been picked up by some vessel, and landed elsewhere. The following names are cut out on the caboose—" Wm. Baker, 1810-- Henry Charles tisen, I , Bll—A/rm. Ready 1811—A.

Acctovers--About twelve o'clock, on Tuesday, as the "aorkraen were-about to leave off works at the , new houses in Burlington Gardens, to go to dinner, several labourers and bricklayers were. upon a scaf fold, which, owing to some negl&t on the part of the persons whose business it was to sire ft was pro perly secured, gave way, and they were all precipi tated to the ground. Several were very much bruised ; one poor fellow, Francis Kelly, a labourer.. who has a wife and four small children, at 18, Peter street, was carried to St. George's Hospital, without any hopes of recovery. A melancholy accident happened in the river Mersey, a few days ago.—Mr. HUGIICS, of Nash- Grove, and three other Gentlemen, went in a boat to the Cheshire shore, for the purpose of bathing. After . Mr. Huouts had occupied himself some time ia swimming, he was heard by the other Gentlemea calling for assistance, but before they could reach him he had sunk to rise no mere. He is supposed to have been seized with the cramp. A gig, in which were Mr. Evertsnor, of New street, St. James's, his sister, and two children, was overturned with much violence near the end of War dour -street, Oxfor,i-street, by a coal-waggon, the horses of which were trotting across the road, the driver being behind the waggon.
