DOVER, SEPTEMBER 21? S a iled yesterday morning, the Aucklcid Post Office packet, for cd a is The wind having veered to the southward, the Chi c►esre► Post Office packet, Antigone French packet, Lady Cockburn passage-vessel, and Rob nil steam-vessel, arrived f ro m Calais, and the Elisabeth passage-vessel, horn Boulogne, w i t s a great number of passengers. A boa: which was in at tendance on the Rob Roy, for :be purpose of landing her pas sengers, accidentally got entangled in her wheel, which sunk 11,4 . , but fortunately no one sustained curt injury. Arrived also the Eclipse Post Office packet, with a Mail from Ostend.— s a ual this morning the Rob Roy steam-vessel, with the Mar quis of Downtime; the Antigone French packet; and the Lady Cockburn► passage-vosel (as an extra Post Office packet), for Calais; and the Poll passage-vessel, for Boulogae. Arrived the Xing George Ptst Office packet, the Prince Leopold passage vessel, and Iris Prench packet, from Calais. Various have been the reports which for some days past have been agitated here, as to the place whence his MAJESTY would embark on his departure for his Hanoverian dominions. One asserted that it was his MAJESTY'S intention to embark at Portsmouth, a second named Ramsgate, a third Deal, from its vi cinity to the residence of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, at Walter Castle ; a fourth stated that Harwich was to be the favoured port, but the one which gained most credit wa s, that his MAJESTY having undergone much fatigue from his recent voyage, would take the shortest possible passage by sea, and proceed hence for Calais. In this state of suspense we have been waiting, with anxiety, for some intelligence from town as to the point of his departure ; but on the arrival of the post this morning all our hopes subsided, by the receipt of a communication from very respectable authority, that his MAJESTY did not intend to take Dover in his route. We are still, how ever, in ignorance as to whence he will embark. We look forward with pleasing anticipation in the hope that, on his return from Hanover, his MAJESTY will honour us with his presence, and thereby give the inhabitants of Dover an opportunity of evincing their loyalty and attachment to his MAJESTY'S person, and of refuting the many aspersions which have of 1 late been so undeservedly heaped upon them. The loyalty of the town of Dover has for some time past been falsely called in question, either by persons con nected with the town, who do not see their own in terest, or by strangers, whose interest it is, by depre ciating their neighbours, to aggrandize and claim merit to themselves. There does not, I am confident, ' exist a more loyal town in his MAJESTY'S dominions than Dover, and though there may be smile who,, for the sake ofopposition alone, would oppose every mea sure emanating from his MAJESTY'S Government, whether right or wrong, (and where are not such per sons to be found ?) yet we may venture to assert, that the loyal town of Dover possesses, in proportion to its population, as few of this class as any place within the circuit of the British Empire.

In consequence off general expectation entertain,' on the road to Dover, that his MAJESTY would leave town this morn ing, the following order was on Thursday morning issued by Lord CLIFTON, the Commanding Officer of the Cobham Squadron of the West Kent Yeomanry Cavalry : " The Cobham Squadron of Yeomanry Cavalry will be in readiness to attend his Manerm on Saturday morning next. The Right Troop to meet at Gravesend, at nine, and the Left Troop at Rochester, at ten o'clock. (Segued) SepteMber " CL:rrox, Off. Com." The above Squadron was intended as an escort to his Ma- JZSI Y from Gravesend to Sittingbourne. Monday, the Commander of the Forces in Ireland reviewed the troops in the Dublin garrison in the lineal: Park—it is said the last at which Sir DAVID BAIRD will command. They are not in future to have a Commander of the Forces in Ireland. A company of the Royal Veterans marched into Chatham Bar racks from Landguard Fort, on Saturday last. During the last week, the Non-commissioned Officers and Drummers of the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia have been drilled under the inspection of Captain Garen, the Adjutant, preparatory to the Regiment's going out for twenty-one days' training on the 5d of Ottobet next. In consequence of orders received from Colonel W. Ganz Lascrox, Capt. GRIM) waited on the VICE-CHANCELLOR and the hlsvoit, on Friday, the 14th instant, to apprise them of the Colonel's wishes that the Staff should be exercised, and they both expressed their approbation thereof. The Ma von immediately ordered billets to be prepared for their accommodation. Saturday; Ensign licautown, of the Veterans, having arrived at Chatham, went on the Parade to shake bands with an old friend, which he had no sooner done, -than he fell down in a fit of apopltzy, and expired immediately. The deceased was about 45 years of age, and has left 3 widow and six children to deplore Oath - loss. INDIA. A more complete idea may be formed, from the an nexell letters, of the degree in which the British force suffered in the late expedition against the Arab tribe of Beni 800 Ali : " Camp near Zoa, Coast of Arabia, February 23,11321. " We arrived here on the 29th ult. and have been delayed ever since, in consequence of the insufficiency of carriage. I low ever, the Imaum of Muscat (who is now here) has supplied us with 1000 camels, and we move to-morrow morning. Our force consists of the 65th Regiment, Bombay European Regiment, Ist liattaliorr2d Regiment, Ist Battalluo 7th Regiment, flank. Bat talion; one Troop of Horse Artillery, 50 Foot Artillery, and one Company of Pioneers. Benl 800 Ali is about fifty miles in the interior. On the 10th instant, about midnight, from four hun dred to five hundred of these Beni 800 All fellows came sud denly on the picket on the left of the line (where the European Regiment, and lit Battalion 2d Regiment, were) cut it up, and entered 'henna sword in hand ; killed one Officer, Capt. Parr ; nine Europeans, and three sepoys ; wounded three Officers, Co lonel Cox, Lieutenants Burnett and Watkins; twenty Euro peans and seven sepoys. We were pitched in a straggling man ner, and could have no Idea of these fellows coming so far to pay us a visit, consequently were not prepared, or much on the alert. The pickets were nOt even loaded. The confusion, as you may well imagine, was dreadful. The Arabs were in the lines before the least alarm was given. They cut down the tents, and speared and hacked at the men, while so situated, in a horrid manner. " The Officers were wounded behind their own lines and the men's. On retiring, the Arabs left behind them twelve killed and twenty-five wounded. Since this, we have been very much on the alert. These Arabs are a fine brave race oL men, and particularly dexterous with the sword. The way our people are cut and mangled is astonishing. Some have their heads split down to the neck and shoulder. They use straight double-edged swords, as sharp as razors. The effect of such a weapon in the hands of a muscular Arab is, 1 can assure you, sweeping." " Bombay, April 10. " My List to you was dated Zoa, the day previous to our march. We reached Ben I 800 Hassan, about four miles from Beni 800 Ali, on the let daof March, and moved on against the latter place on the 2d, having our heavy guns and camp equipage smiler a strong guard. In moving round the place, we were fired upon, which occasioned us a few casualties-- Whilst the General was reconnoitring, a body of Arabs were observed to leave the fort ; on which the line made a movement to the left, and our brigade (65th Regiment and Ist battalion 7th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry) advanced on a wood, where the enemy had taken post, and when within about 900 yards of it, they sallied out, sword in hand, passed along our line under a heavy fire, numbers of them falling, and attacked the 7th Regi ment in flank, and got into their rear, where we had pretty tough work of it while it lasted, which was not above a quarter of an hour; the 7th Regiment losing three Officers, and 150 men killed and wounded ; the 65th Regiment, three Office rs and 40 men ; the two Regiments united mustered in the field 710 firelocks, the attacking party of Arabs about 900. After this brush we moved on towards the fort, which, after a little shell ing and battering, surrendered unconditionally. Five hundred of these fellows were killed, and about 300 wounded. " We buried the remains of the bodies of those who fell in Captain Thompson's unfortunate affair. It was a horrid sight : they had all been left to bleach and dry in the sun, and had been dreadfully hacked. From all I can learn, these poor fel lows fought and fell nobly. This Beth 800 Ali business has cost us, at first and last, eight O ffi cers killed, eight wounded. upwards of 450 men killed, and about 950 wounded. I ought not to forget to tell you, that we blew up the place, and de stroyed every house and shelter near it. " I must here observe, that I never saw, nor can imagine, anything more determined and resolute than the attack of these Wahabees. No men could have displayed more bravery when worsted. Some of them absolutely sold their lives. They were armed merely with swords and light spears; many of the swords were real Andrew Femme; their execution I shall not readily forget. The shock we received from the charge made us [eel and stagger again—indeed, fall back a trifle; but we soon re covered ourselves. Our Sepoys behaved nobly, particularly the Rajapoots, who used the bayonet with great effect. " We returned to Zoa on the I lth of March, embarked on the 17th, sailed on the lath, and reached Bombay on the 97th. We brought with us the two Chiefs, and about 150 prisoners. The old men and wounded were left with the Imaum of Muscat. We may therefore regard the tribe of Beui 800 AU as completely scattered and destroyed. General Smith goes round to Bengal on tne Staff of that Establishment.- Dczt.—Friday week, a duel was fought on Plumstead Com mon, near Woolwich, between Lieutenant B—, of the itoyal Artillery, and a Mr. C—, h gentleman of respectability. After exchanging two shots each, Mr. C. was wounded by the ball of his antagonist going through the upper part of one thigh, and through the wrist of his left hand. Lieutenant B. escaped with having the skin on his forehead rased by the ball of Mr. C. It is somewhat remarkable that on the first exchange of shots, the balls came in contact with each other, and both of them feU about three feet from Mr. C.—Mr. C. is convalescent. DRURY-LANE THEATRE —The new Piece, entitled Monsieur Tonson, was repeated last night. Some ju dicious curtailments have been made in. the dialogue. Thus compressed, it went off with increased effect, and was received with loud applause by a numerous and elegant audience. HAYMARKET.....Mr. KENNY'S new comedy of Match- Breaking, was repeated last night, and went off with increased eclat. It is completely in the style and cha racter of this interesting House, and most admirably adapted to the peculiar talents of the several per formers whom it calls into action. ENGLISH OPERA.HOUSELOye ' s Dream—A Cure for C'arcombs—and The Miller's Ma id, e pet formed last night. Although now become old favourites, they continue to attract with all the force of novelty. The life, spirit, and variety which this combination pre sents, afforded a rich treat to an elegant audience. The Editor of a certain Provincial Journal has the following paragraph in his Paper of Saturday last:— Stafford Assizes terminated last week t the trials were not of an important nature;. twenty prisoners were cc:Fit:did convicted." Kt r; During his MaJesrx's sojourn in Dublin he made it a point, on all public occasions, that those who ap proached him should appear in the manufacture of the country. He thus gave an impetus to trade, of which it stood much in need, and such an impetus as it had not experienced for many.years. Wherever he went his presence lighted up the happiest feelings of the heart—because, to the bustle and joy of a conti nued festival, it added real, solid, and permanent be nefits. In many instances positive distress' has been alleviated, fluctuating credit has been te•est*blished, and the progress of decay has been arrested-sat least for a season. Still it cannot be concealed that Ireland *ill long stand in need of the support and sympathy of this her protecting country. Gay, and brilliant, and happy as her general aspect was during the visit of her SOVE REIGN, yet the silent tear of misery was frequently to be seen, and the symptoms of poverty and of priva tion, almost despairing of relief, were observable not only in the suburbs, but in some of the principal streets of the metropolis. The grandeur of the public buildings had a melancholy effect to the eye, because they were evidently constructed on a scale greatly disproportioned to their present uses, and to the ex- isting fortunes of the country. They were in fact de signed to decorate a city which was the seat of go vernment ; the residence of an independent legisla ture, and the frequent resort of the Nobility and Gen try of that island. But her Government may now he said to be carried on here; her legislature has ceased, and such of her Nobles and Gentlemen as do not reside in England (and they are very few), live in the most retired manner, at their country seats. Having no occasion to visit the capital, unless they be unfortunately engaged in lawsuits, they seldom go there ; and when they do ) it is but for as short a time as possible. Thus the 'city is abandoned, the counties but thinly graced by their natural guar dians; trade is miserably limited and uncertain, and everything being estimated only as it relates to England, the whole country bears a subordinate pro-' vincial appearance, which it is painful to witness. It would seem as if a pestilence had passed through the island, and left behind it the seeds of decay, which every hour multiplies, and renders more and more irresistible. ROYAL CONDESCENSION. We have much pleasure in publishing the following account of his MAJESTY'S condescending and amiable conduct towards Commodore O'BataN, of Kilrush, as he calls himself. .This is the little mariner who, last summer, traversed the Shannon in his little schooner of five feet keel, which he managed its the most seaman-like manner, and who on that occasion afforded much amusement to the people of Limerick: TO THE EDITOR. LIMER/CE, SITTrIIREIL 9. Sta— A. your invaluable Journal has always been the reper tory of truth, 1 respectfully take leave to solicit your insertion of the following simple narrative of the honour which his Majesty was pleased to confer on me on the day of his departure from Dunleary. I was, during the day, sailing about the Royal ficet with my Lilliputian barge, waiting his Majesty's arrival, which did not happen before six o'clock ; and so crowded was the Bay with craft of every description, that I could not find room then to display my nautical tactic., in order to please hi. Majesty; however, by desire of the Commodore, I was commanded to the Royal slip, inside of the line of Officers' boats, which waited his Majesty's conveyance on board the Royal yacht, but so great was the pressure, that I could not stffi entertain his Majesty with a view of my vessel. Thus I was compelled to remain until about ten o'clock at night, sailing traverse about the Royal yacht, when his Majesty at length by the Royal lights perceived me, and immediately ordered a boat to desire I should come along side, which I gladly complied with. I was then interrogated by a Gentleman on board (whom I little thought to be the greatest and best Monarch in the world). lie asked me whence I came, my name, /cc. and then most humanely asked me whether I had dined? to which I rdplied in the negative. Ills Majesty then ordered me some sea store, which was not less than a whole side of mutton, a loaf of bread, and a bottle of Champagne, and de sired that I shoald not depart from the side of the Royal yacht until he saw me again ; when, to my very great surprise, Sir 11. Bloomfield came down the gangway in a few minutes after, and delivered me ten sovereigns by order of his Majesty. My little craft then began to sink under the weight of unparalleled Royal generosity. I knew not where to stow my mutton and bread, and dreaded that I was to be the bearer of a Royal repast down to Oid Davy, but fortune otherwise decreed it; I toasted his Majesty's health in the wine, and took a comfortable luncheon, which gave me the means of stowing the rest in my cabin lockers, &c. I laying had the honour of displaying my nautical manteuvres on the Shannon last summer, and being anxious to acknow ledge the generosity and humanity of our most gracious Sove reign, in noticing so humble an individual, should you give pub licity to the above extract from my log-buck, being a concise nar rative of the whole, together with my gratitude for the Royal favour I have had the honour of receiving, you will ever oblige, Sir, your most humble servant, COM MODORR O'BRIEN, of Kilrush. con save TIM USG !! A new bridge is to be erected across the river Liffey, from the new road leading to the Royal Hos pital of Dublin to the opposite side, nearly fionting to the entrance to the Phceniz Park, which is to be called the King's Bridge. The KING drove through the West End of the Town on Thursday in a very handsome private coach, with a green body, and only one footman, in a drab livery, behind. Between siz and seven o'clock, on Tuesday evening last, as Mr. Spratt, of Little Russell -street, Blooms bury, shoemaker, was proceeding across the fields from Dulwich to Camberwell, he was attacked by two men, one of whom knocked him down by a se vere blow on the back part of the head, with a heavy bludgeon, and then jumped upon his chest, and held him down while the other rifled his pockets of ten sovereigns, three £1 Maidstone notes, some loose sil ver, and a clasp-knife. The villain not contented with the crime he had already committed, was pro ceeding to add to it that of murder—for having opened the knife which he had taken from Mr. Spratt s pocket, he seized him by the chin, and beating his head against the ground with such violence as to cause the blood to run from his mouth and ears, he tore down his neckcloth, and placed the knife close to Mr. Spratt's throat, and was in the act of drawing it across, when the other, who it appears was less hardened than his confederate, fortunately caught his arm just as the knife had perforated the skit► of the neck, and wrenched it out of his hand. The wretch then seized the bludgeon with which Mr. Spratt had been knocked down, and inflicted several severe blows on Mr. Spratt's head and body, and af terwards both of them assisted in throwing him into a wet ditch close by, and ran away. Mr. Spratt re• mained in this dreadful situation a considerable time, bleeding profusely, and would probably have perished, had he not been discovered by some labouring men. who immediately tendered him every 14taitce.

RANDALL AND MAITIN.-.-The Metter if the Rulli, it seems, is anxious fur another combat with the Alvan:it, for £34:10 a-side ; but the friends of Randall wiil not back him any more, they having expressed a wish that he ought not again to enter the prize-ring. Randall, on meeting with Martin on Thursday morning, generously made him a present of lea pounds 1 Yesterday a severe battle was fought, in a held near High gate, for £lO a-side, between Horsham and Mason. The Fancy mustered rather numerously to witness the above battle. Mason is well known at the Fives' Court, from his frequent exhibitions at that place ; and Horsham introduced himself to the notice of the prize-ring about four months ago, in his contest with the %irig of Allyrtk, towlOm he proved an easy conquest. Both of the combatants were littk ones, not exceeding nine stone each in weight. Ilorsham was the favourite, 5 and 6 to 4. Harry Holt and Warwick seconded Mason; and Pritchard and Stan ley handfed Horsham. Randall was the umpire and time-keeper. The first three rounds, owing to the severe punishment adminis tered by Horsham to his opponent, made it 3 and 4 to 1 in his favour. Mason's nob was so cut up, that it was positively see ing an'old friend with a new face ;" in short, the whole of the backers of Mason had made up their minds that he must be milled off band; and all the Common-garden lads (Horsham being a dealer in oalkage-plants) were roaring with joy, and bel ting their " trifles" that it " voud'nt last ten minutes.' But the game of Mason won him the battle. Ile was also well se conded by his master, Holt. The cabbage blunt hero, on per& miring that his blows did not check the ardour of Mason i be to jack; and after fighting 44 minutes, contrary to expectation & Horsham was defeated.—lt was a siap•vp battle; and several of the amateurs said " as how, they had often been thirty miles to see a swell fight that bad not turned out half so good !" Kendrick, the man of colour, who proved a troublesome cus tomer both to Cooper and Oliver, is, after having been laid upon the shelf for a long time, matched with the Suffolk Cirantpien for Alts a-side, to fight on the 16th of October. The Suffolk hero is the favourite; but Kendrick is nevertheless well known to have considerably improved respecting a knowledge of the sci• ence. The spurting world expect a tremendous contest. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Tuesday afternoon, one of the Paddington coaches had pulled up at the King's Head public-house, the corner of the Hampstead. road, and the coachman had incautiously left his seat and gone into the house, without previously giving the reins to any one. During his absence, which was very short, the horses took fright at a horse and cart that were passing, and ran across the road ; their progress was stopped by one of the hind wheels coming in contact with a post ; _but the concussion was so great that the passengers on the outside (con= sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Moore, of Charles-street, Hampstead-road, and Mr. William Ridett, of No. 37, George-street, Portman-square, were precipitated into the road. Mrs. Moore fell with her stomach on the wheel, by which she was so seriously injured, that yesterday she was given over by the physician. Mr. Moore, her husband, fortunately received no mate rial injury. Mr. Ridett, who was conveyed home immediately, lingered in the greatest :irony till the evening of Thursday, when he died of the injury hi: had received. HIGHGATE MURDER.—Since the last exam7nation of Barrett and his wife before Dr. OWEN, of High gate, everything has been done that was likely to lead to a discovery of the mysterious attair. Persors have been employed in dragging the various ponds about that neighbourhood, it being thought probable that the murderer might have thrown things therein in order to prevent discovery, but nothing was found. A man named Murphy, who was before Dr. OwrN on a recent occasion concerning the horrid affair, has been again brdught up, to account. for some suspi cious circumstances arising against him, in conse quence of a shirt found concealed which was sup posed to belong to him, but he disowned the shirt, and there being no evidcnce against him he was discharged. ESCAPE—Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, T. Lewis, alias Ben. White, who was convicted of fe lony at the last Summer Assizes at Bedford, escaped from custody off the Pilot Bedford coach, by sli,,pitig his irons opposite Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. Ile was twenty-eight years of age, and by trade a watch finisher, and was burn is Red Lion-street, Ckrkenwefl.
