VISIT TO THE titsi. Yesterdly, at a quarter before one o'Elock, the QUEEN, accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA and the Princess of HESSE HOMBREG, attended by the Countess of CARDtGAN, left the Queen's Palace in' her carriage, preceded by the Duke of KENT and the Prince of liEssE Hobnail°, attended by Earl Moa vox, her Majesty's Chamberlain, and Earl Hatiscouar, the Master of the Horse to the Queen, proceeded to wards the Mansion Hotise, to be present at the exa mination of the National Schools of the three Dis tricts in the City. The Duke and Duchess of Yogic went about the same time. The Royal Party were preceded by Mr. LEE, the High Constable for West minster. It was the first instance of such a visit of Royalty for almost a century, and; as might be ex pected, thousands filled the streets, and business was in a great measure suspended in those streets through which her MAJESTY passed. The arrangements made in the Egyptian Hall were of the most admirable nature. A small chair of state was placed in front of the hustings for the QUEEN, as also chairs on either side for the other branches of the Royal Family and their immediate attendants. This division of the hustings was thickly carpeted, and covered over with thick scarlet cloth. Three other divisions were made behind, for the re ception of the Ladies of Nobility, persons of distinc tion, the Aldermen and their Ladies, and other City Characters. 'The north, south, and west ranges of the Hall, extending some distance without the pillars, were fitted up with elevated benches for the Subscri bers to the Schools and the Ticket-holders. The seats exhibited I display of female beauty and crowded elegance rarely witnessed. It was difficult to imagine how such a scene should be preserved, after such a struggle to obtain admission. The centre of the Hall, which formed a square area, was set apart for the exhibition of the children ; and, about one o'clock the latter entered the room, preceded by the Rev. Mr. Ilissimit, Secretary to the London National Schools. Their appearance excited the most lively feelings, and the admirable order in which as they entered they formed themselves into a solid square, produced astonishment. The number, com posed of males and females, which could be thus ac commodated, was at least one thousand. About half-past one o'clock the arrival of her MA JESTY was announced from without by trumpets and the acclamations of the populace. The QUEEN and her suite, and the other branches of the Royal Fa mily, entered at the western door of the Mansion House, and were conducted to the receiving-room by the LORD MAYOR and LADY MAYORESS, Lady SYL VESTER, and other personages appointed to receive them. Shortly before two o'clock, the great state door of the Egyptian Hall was thrown open, and the entrance of her MAJESTY announced. The Alder- men and other City Officers having ranged them- I selves on either side, the Earl of MORTON, Colonel . DESBROWE, and others of her MAJESTY'S attendants, ascended the hustings. The QUEEN immediately fol lowed, and her appearance elicited a spontaneous burst of applause from the whole assembly, who stood bowing as she entered. Her MAJESTY was led to her seat by the LORD MAYOR, and her entrance was succeeded by those of the Princesses ELIZABETH of HESSE HOMBERG and AUGUSTA, the Duke and Duchess of YORK, the Duke of KENT, and the Prince of HESSE HOMBERG. Upon 'casting a glance at the immense assembly around her, and particulirly upon the children who stood before her, she seemed deeply impressed. The Reverend Mr. HESKETII and the other officia ting Gentlemen of the Institution having made the necessary arrangements, the examination of the chil dren commenced. After a hymn had been sung, appropriate to the occasion, two boys, monitors, read 1 the prayers in a singularly impressive manner, and in which her MAJESTY and the other branchessof the Royal Family joined the children with fervency.— These being concluded, the whole of the Schools de parted, in the order in which tlry entered the Hall, and being comparted into classes, they again entered successively, and.exhibited in the most extraordinary manner the results of that information and instruction which, under the system laid down by the celebrated 13r. BELL, they had obtained. Spelling, reading, numeration, an acquaintance with the Catechism, and the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, were the principal subjects upon which the children were exa mined', and they evinced an experience which was almost as delightful as it was incredible. The QUEEN was greatly affected during the exami nation, and listened with mach gratification, while, she also read and compared the various propositions put to the judgment of the children. The female part of the School exhibited a variety of needle figure work, curious samples, &c. These delighted her MAJESTY much, and, aided by the Princesses ELIZA BETH and AUGUSTA, she took much pains in their inspection. Throughout the interesting scene. the QUEEN fre quently conversed with the Archbishop of CANTER BURY, the Bishops of LONDON, CHESTER, &c. who explained the proceedings and the system of the Schools. The Rev. Mr. HESKETH and another Di wine, who examined the children, were particularly addressed by her MAJESTY, who expressed her entire gratification and satisfactiodat the result of their phi.; lanthropic labours. The ordeal of the classes having been gone through, the whole . of the children were again marched into the Hall, and, upon a signal, prayers were again made. After the Veal Creator had been pronounced, the children rose and sung God save the King, in which also her MAJESTY seemed to join, but occasionally under some suffer ing of mind. TO the stanzas of invocation to the Kis% the following were added, and sung in admi rable style for her MAJESTY, and drew forth the most unbounded applause: K Then, as the strain we raise Which our old Father's praise Still loves to breathe, Mother of Britain, thou Wilt not disdain the vow, But let thy gentle brow Grace the fair wreath! Loa where these little bands Bless with their helpless bands That brow serene! Kindly approve, while we Bid their pure infancy Lisp forth its prayer for thee— GOD bless the Quzis!" The LORD MAYOR then came forward, and ad' dressed the little flock, as follows:—" My dear little cid:dren, it is a source of unbounded gratification to #ll to behold such a sight as t tis Jay presents itseii.le The &finlike of Lot nickik tafitionl To tee so great a number of e 'rising generation in Lord Mayor." auch a state of improvement. and learning the ways After the "health.' of the Bishops of London.

I have again to express my were present. gratitude for the gracious condescension which has this day been manifested in the appearance of our venerable Queen and of so many of the Royal Fa mily, in the midst of their loyal subjects of the City of London." The Queen now rose, and conversed freely with several distinguished characters. Among those who particularly engaged her attention was the benevolent Mrs. FRY, who leaned upon the arm of Mr. Alder mai Wools. This scene excited unbounded gratifi • cation. Nor were the other branches of the Royal Family less animated in the interests of the day, which, like their venerable Parent, appeared to rivet their best feelings and regard. The Prince of HESSE HoManno was throughout a most anxious and in terested attendant, and frequently made inquiries as to the nature of the proceedings. A little African boy not mote than seven years of age, was a peculiar object of notice with his Serene Highness, as well as her MAJESTY. Shortly before five o'clock her MAJESTY prepared to leave the Hall, and was only interrupted by the most unbounded acclamations, in which the children spontaneously joined. The effect may be imagined ; and the QUEEN, with the rest of the Royal Family, retired under feelings which, we doubt not, were as sincere as those from whose hearts and hands the applause emanated. The Royal Party were ushered into the LORD MAYOR'S principal state room, where an elegant col lation, consisting of every delicacy, and a profusion of choice wines, were prepared for their refreshment. After remaining nearly an hour, the Royal Caval cade returned westward, and was greeted with loud huzzas on its progress. Her MAJESTY'S subscription to the Institution was not announced, but it is said to be considerable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE: NXWMARRET FIRST SPRING MEETING, lips WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29.

After the examination of the children at the Man sion-house, the Anniversary Festival of the National Schools was celebrated at the City of London Ta vern. At half-past six o'clock the LORD MAYOR en tered the great room and took the ('hair, with' his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK on his right, and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY on his left. About four hundred Gentlemen sat down to dinner. When Non Nobis had been sung, the LORD MAYOR gave " The King and Church, which sentiment was fol lowed with God Save Mc King, by tht boys belonging to the Schools. After this, his Lordship eve " Hii Royal Highness the Prince Regent." In giving the health of " The Queen," his Lordship took occasion to advert to het MAJESTY'S conduct, with respect to the National Schools. Glee—When order in this land. After the " Health of the Duke of York," for which his Royal Highness rose and returned thanks, the glee of We must be good subjects, was sung with great effect. The next toasts were " The Duke of Cla-, rence and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Prince and Princess of Hesse Homberg ;" after which the LORD MAYOR gave " The National Schools and prosperity to them. OLIVER HATCH, Esq. then brought forward the Re port, stating the pleasurable sensations he felt in conse quence of the transactions of the morning. It was an honour not be forgotten, as it respected the City Na tional Schools. Subscriptions and donations had in creased with the benign patronage of Royalty. 'The receipts of the last year had exceeded by between S and 4001. those of the preceding, the charity sermons had produced a comparative addition of 100/. within the same time, and the Society had purchased 500/. in stock during the year. Peihaps there were gen tlemen who might think that the sum of 1900/.which had been expended in the repairing and building of schools during the last two years, ought, in prudence, to be objected to ; but the real fact was, that many of the schools taken in the first instance were dismally old, and that others had required to be altered on account of the health of the children.—Here Mr, hatch mentioned, that amongst the subscriptions and donations just received, the Bank of England and the East-India Company had contribted 1001. each, and Frederick Webb, Esq. 105/. On the Duke of YORK'S proposing " the health of the First Magistrate of the first City in the world," it was drank with three times three. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks ; observing, that he had humbly endeavoured to support the Con stitution of Church and State ; he said, he certainly felt that day amongst the proudest known by the City of London. The Lord Mayor then proposed " the health of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury." The Anctialsoop saiti, he had the honour to re turn them his sincere thanks for the manner in which they had received his health. It was gratifying to contemplate the connection, the intimate, and, he hoped, the indissoluble connection, that subsisted in these realms between the Church and the State, if only as exemplified on that propitious day. From these Princes who surrounded and adorned the Throne, through every rank and gradation of social life, to the children whom they had just left, the con nection of polity and principle was simultaneously and honourably felt. He trusted that, through a series of disastrous years, the Church of England had dor.e her duty, as he was perfectly sure that the peo ple had done theirs. He stood pledged for the duty of. the Church, and he believed she would di s charge it. lie rejoiced in the progress of the National Schools, which were going forward most liberally, and he trusted as beneficially for the country. Upon a comic song being now sung by Mr. TAY LOR, the Duke of Yonx seized the opportunity for complimentiog the City by proposing the last line as d The PRINCE REGENT dined yesterday with Sir THOMAS Liman. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Duke of KENT, dined yesterday with the QVEPIC Yesterday Lord CASTLEREAGH had a long audi , ence of the PRINCILREGENT. A King's Messenger was dispatched on Monday to the Hague, and another last night to Hesse Cassel. The QUEEN, of WHINEMBERO is to be at Frankfort about the 10th of June, to meet the Prince and Prin cess of Hesse }logistic°, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, end the Pitmen, who, before that time, will have become his Duchess. The Prince and Prince's of litsss HOMBING in tend, after their return to Windsor, to make an ex cursion to Bath. • Yesterday upwards of thirty large columns of 'marble, sent from the BEY of TRIPOLI to the PRIM& REGENT, were landed at the stairs in Palace-yard, whence they will be conveyed to the British Museums Some of them are of very great weight, and one eighteen tons. The Grand Duke MICHAEL, and suite, may be shortly expected in this country from Russia. He will make the same tour of the Kingdom as performed by his brother Duke NICOLAS. A singular and unexpected motion was made yes terday, by Mr. Bnotiounsc, in the Court of King's Bench, for a mandamus to the Governors and Com pany of the Bank of England, ordering them to pro ceed to a dividend of all the profits. It appears that, according to the acts on which the Bank is founded, that body has no right to accumulate a capital. But the applicant has reason to suppose that a capital is retained by the Directors ; of which, therefore, be demands the partition among the Preprietors.—Tbe Court granted a Rule to shew cause. The name of Mr. Bnotionam's client did not appear. Istfoesr.—Monday se'nnight, an Inquest sat on the body of John Darby, of Birchington, near Margate, found dead on the shore near the latter place, on the preceding Saturday, and brought in their Verdict Found dead on the rocks, without any evidence haw he came by his death.—The deceased had come from France with a French smuggling boat, and when he lost his life was assisting in landing the goods, and had returned in the small boat to the larger one, to obtain more—this is the last known of him alive. On inspecting the body there was found a large cut on the head, and the scalp separated from the skull, with heavy bruises across the fingers ; and from the circumstance of its being known that he had a watch, a pocket-book, and a 51. note with him, all of which ire missing, strong apprehensions are entertained that he was robbed and murdered by the Frenchmen, who arc at present unknown. Another suspicious circumstance is, the Frenchmen sailed away soon af terwards with the large boat and part of the cargo ; and the smaller boat drove on shore. He has left a wife and seven children at Birchington. Three of his brothers perished on the coast of France, not many months since, in the same delusive traffic.
