TIC KING. HAVERroRnwEST, SEPTEMBER 10. In the forenocn of yesterday the Royal standard was descried, and sredily afterwards the splendid yacht, with the ; of ENGL AND on board, was seen .vorking into the harbour. It is impossible to describe he feeling which seemed to pervade the whole popu• lation of the town and neighbourhood, one impulse done-appeared t 9) direct them, and that was of the most warm an 1 affectionate attachment for their SOVEREIGN. Tle joyful intelligence quickly spread through the surrounding country, and in a short time Throngs of well-dressed people began to arrive, and took the earliest opportunities of procuring boats, pleasure-vessels, &c. to take them alongside the superb vessel which his MAJESTY was on board of; their anxi ous expectations were, however, disappointed, owing, is it is said, to the indisposition of his MAJESTY, who 'elt the effects of the tremendous night of Saturday. Crowds of beats continued a long time to surround the Royal yacht. and hearty and continued cheers were heard, but the KING did not appear. The town of Milford was brilliantly illuminated in the evening. The Mayor and Council of this Borough were in waiting to know his MAJEsry's pleasure as to their 2resenting him an Address of Congratulation, but the answer was, that his MAJESTY did not inlcnd to land, :tnd in consequence declined receiving Addresses.— Ilis MAJESTY has not more loyal subjects than the County of Pembroke can produce; their conduct in Febi nary, 1797, is a striking instance. • People in great numbers are pressing towards Milford to-day, when it is hoped their laudable curi osity and anxious wishes may be gratified by a sight of their Sovenatc.x. The wind is now strong from the westward, which will prevent the Royal squadron from proceeding at present. FIRE IN PRINCE'S STREET, SOllO. A Coroner's Inquest was held last night, at the Three Crowns, Richmond street, Soho-square, before TUOMAS HIGGS, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, on the body of Benjamin Myers, aged 21 year. (the son of Mr. Myers, pencil-manufacturer), who perished in Lhc conflagration on Monday morning last. The re mains of the deceased were found in the ruins yes terday morning at eleven o'clock. The Jury, being impanelled, took a view of the mutilated corpse, which lay in a shell at the Three Crowns. The legs were burnt off, and, except a part near the abdomen, the whole was burnt to a mere cinder. The first witnes. was a Jew, named Levy, who only deposed to having taken the remains of the deceased out of the ruins of old Mr. Myers' house. He did not think it was possible for any one to identify it, as there was not a vestige of apparel left, and the body was reduced to a heap of bones and ashes. A. Lawrence, a Jew, next deposed that he was convinced that the remains viewed by the Jury were part of the body of Benjamin Myers, jun. (The witness hesitated for some time to state his reasons for knowing they were the deceased's remains; at last he gave the explanation, which was very satisfactory). Mr. Freeman, a Juror, was sworn. He stated that he was one of the first on the spot when the alarm of fire was made. A volume of smoke was issuing through the lower part of the house. It was just ten minutes before five o'clock. He took up stones and brickbats, and threw them in at the windows, to alarm the inhabitants. Another Juror stated, that he saw old Mr. Myers, his wife and daughter, and two of the lodgers, come out of the house at a side door. _ _ The CORONER inquired if any other person had been burnt ? and he was informed that the calamity was more extensive than was at first supposed ; there were still four bodies under the ruins; a Mr. Barnet and his child, and a Mrs. Pole and her daughter, who were lodgers in Mr. Myers' house. One of the Juroi s stated that nearly 4...9.00 had been subscribed towards the relief of the fifteen families, who had been burnt out, and all their property de stroyed by the lamentable accident. The Jury returned a verdict—" Accidentally burnt to de.uth." ANOTHER CALAMITOUS FIRE. EDINBURGH ' SEPT. IO.—A dreadful fire broke out this morning, a little after twelve o'clock, in a large five story house in the Cowgate, immediately oppo site to the foot of the Parliament-stairs. The tire originated in an apartment on the second floor, and, burning with great fierceness, soon communicated to the floors above, and the one immediately below.— About half an hour after, the stair, a wooden one, was enveloped in flames ; but previous to this, all the inhabitants, except one family in the third floor, escaped to the street, many of them half naked. The ' family which remained, consisted of a man named Bannerman, his wife, and three children. Bannerman himself leapt over the window, with a child in his arms, and escaped with some slight hurts; but his wife was less fortunate; after dropping a child from the window, she leaped over herself with another in her arms. They were all three taken up alive, and the poor woman, who was also far advanced in preg nancy, was carried to the Infirmary with one of the children, where they soon after expired. The other was taken into a neighbouring house, and survived but a few minutes. Bannerman was lately a serjeant in the ;Ist Regi ment, and his wife was a native of Portugal. The man in whose house the fire originated also lies in the Infirmary, with his thigh severely burned. Two of the firemen were also considerably hurt by the falling of the burning rafters. The fire-engines were soon brought to the spot, but their efficiency was much impeded by the want of water. llaving at length got access to Mr. Camp bell's brewery, a plentiful supply was obtained ; but the rage of the flames defied the exertions of the fire men; and, in a few hours, the tenement in which the fire broke out, and the one immediately adjoining to the westward, which was separated only by a thin partition, were reduced to smoking walls, except the shops on the ground floor, which escaped the fire, but suffered much from the water, and the destruc tion necessarily occasioned by the confusion of re moving the stock and furniture. The three upper flats were divided into small apartments, and occu pied by numerous poor families, who have lost every thing they possessed. AsstzEs. C.IIII.TSI.F. RICHT or ANTGLING.—NEAVE, BA RT. V. GRATTAN!. Mr. SCA nterr said, the real plaintiff was Henry Howard, Esq. of Corby Castle. The question was, whether the customary tenants of the manor of We therall had a right of fishing by the rod on a certain extent of one side of the river Eden ? Mr. I toward had all the fishings of the Eden in that part from the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle, but his good nature in giving leave to all his neighbour , : to angle had brought this claim of right against him. The value of it to the customary tenants was nothing. It would only make them idle and useless. Dr. I.linson de scribed an angler, g• A rod and line with a man at one end, and a fish at the other." Mr. Justice Ifoutos , u.—No, a worm at the other. Mr. BROUGHAM.--Aye, to be sure—happy is he that has a &h! An old coachman of Mr. Howard's gave evidence of a notice, published in the church lard twenty years ago, repeating every line and letter of Whet vas the salmon brood," &c. Mr. SCARLETT.—You need not give every word unless you like. Witness.—Shall I begin again ? " Whereas, the salmon brood," &c. _ Mr. BROUGHAM.—Did you bear a sermon that day ?—Yes. Come, then, give us as much of the sermon ?—No, I don't remember anything about it. Now happens that now ?—Well, because I saw the notice afterwards, and I never saw the sermon. _ _ I wish I had as good a memory.—Well, I was al ways remarkable for a good memory. But you did not give us Gan save the King as a part of it ?—No, there was no King belonging to it. So there was no King but Henry Howard ?—There needed not a better man. Evidence w•as given of the boys in a school having leave to angle. Mr. LITTLEDALE.-But they were not customary tenants? -- - • Mr. ALDERSON.—They were tenants of the rod. Witnesses for the plaintiff were called till two o'clock, when it was agreed that the customary te nants should be suffered to angle, provided they ad hered to the regulations of Mr. Howard, but without prejudicing the right of either party. WESTMORELAND. SLATER V REISBECK. This was an action for slander, and the parties were two rival surgeons in Appleby. Richard Bateman deposed, I live in Appleby. On the Bth of January last I was in company with the defendant in the King's Head Inn. Mr. Reisbeck said of Mr. Slater, " Dr. Slater is a liar, a thief, and a scoundrel, and the biggest rascal upon earth, for he has told me, he had had connexion with most of the married women in Appleby, anti with Mrs. Cony among the rest, for anything that 1 know." J. Atkir.- son, of the Old Brewhouse, was present ; Mr. Atkin son, the attorney ; Mr. Herd, the landlord ; and Mr. W. Rushton, were also present. Cross-examined.—There had been previous conver sation. It was a subject of another nature which led to this. There had been something said respecting Mr. Slater. There had been a suit in the Spit itual Court respecting Mr. Reisbeck's daughter. Mr. Slater was the man who was the foundation of the action. Was the suit against you ?—Yes. The ground of action was, that I said that there had been improper intercourse between Mr. Slater and Mr. Reisbeck's daughter. I dare say she was then seventeen. The subject of conversation was the improper connexion with the daughter of Mr. Reisbeck. I suppose that must have been ground of resentment and passion to thefather. I had said so. I had told that to Mr. Reis beck before. I did not then say from whom I heard it. But you shall now : had you not heard it from Mr. Slater ?—No, I had not. I named it to him; I cannot say what feelings it excited in his mind. You have heat d him boast of his success among the Ladies ?—Never to my recollection. I am married. Did you find fault yourself ?—For what? For his attention to Mrs. Bateman ?—I had never any cause. No, no, you had not; but Mr. S!arer always be haved well to her ?—I don't know that he was ever otherwise than civil. _ Too civil, perhaps ?—I don't know that he was. But you heard ?—No. He is rather too much that way ?—I don't pretend to judge. But you don't pretend to say that he was not so? —No. R. Blencarn met with Dr. Reisbeck in his own house in December or January last. He asked me if 1 heard anything concerning my friend ; I said— " What friend ?" lie said, Mr. Slater; that Mrs. Cotty had been in France bearing a child to him. He said he believed it to be true, as it came from the Knobs of the town. lie said he must leave the town now. I saw Mr. Reisbeck a gay bit afterwards at my house; he then said of Mr. Slater he was a ras cal, a scoundrel, a Bewcastler (Bewcastle is in York shire), and wished that we would not employ him at our house. He said, if he could find the bastard child, it would help him on his trial very much. He' said the first time he saw Mr. Heeles in the Castle, he would ask him about his sister, Mrs. Cotty. He said that Mr. Slater had said, that he had had connec tion with all the women in Appleby but two or three. By Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Before Mr. Reisbeck had said this, I heard a report of Mr. Reisbeck's daughter and Mr. Slater having had connection to gether. She was not with child; Mr. Slater is mar ried ; the girl is about 14., or 15, or 16, I don't know how old. J. Richardson, Clerk to Messrs. Heeles and Co. said, he was acquainted with Mr. Slater for seven or eight years. Mr. Slater is a married man, and has a wife and children. On the 21 , th of March, Mr. Slater asked Mr. Iteisbeck, in my presence, if he (Mr. Sla ter) had ever said a single word to him of Mrs. Cotty or any other woman in town ? Mr. Itcisbeck said he never had, and that he would sign any paper to set aside the report. Next morning Mr. Slater and I went to him and then he would not sign it: he said he would have nothing to do with it. Mr. Hecles in the Castle is one of the Magistrates ; Mr. Rcisbeck said to me that the report did not come from Mr. 'Slater himself, but from a certain woman in the town, whom he did not name, as he was going to breakfast with her. The Ilev. J. Nlilno•.—l am Vicar of Appleby, and a Magistrate. I remember Mr. lleisb.•ck coming be fore me to make a Jepc•.ition. I mote that def•osi tion. The sab•,taacr of it Was given by Mr. Heisbeck. It was about the 24d or 2:ld harsh. I stated then that the Mat;isziates were to meet on Saturday, the 21th, and desiied him to come then. I then thought it was hot api oper subject Inr an oath. In the first conversation he said he was willing to make that de p•osition. On Saturday he wished that his arm might be cut off if he ever heard Mr. Slater use any such language respecting Mrs. Cotty or any other Lady. I have employed Mr. Slatersince. "1'1;e deposition of William lleisbeck before us.— I, William Reisbeck, swear that I never in my life heard Mr. Slater make any reflection on Mrs. Cotty, and that the reports in Appleby are wholly without foundation." James Fothergill.-1 . recollect Mr. Reisbeck say ing of Mr. Slitter in June last, that the first time he saw Mr. Ilceles he would ask where that bastard child was which Mr. Slitter had with Mrs. Cotty? Ali s. Moses is a mart led Lady in Appleby. Mr. Slater had :atendcd their family about five years.— She did riot continue to employ him. She ceased in February or March, front the unpleasant reports re spectity, him, the reports of the nature of the cause of the action. They were reports which Mr. Slater himself was said to have circulated. By the Court.—She had never heard anything im proper respecting Miss Reisbeck. She believed Mr. Reisbeck had but one daughter. The reports re hued to the married persons in town. Richard Bateman re-called.—l did tell Mr. Reis beck respecting his daughter, vt ith intent he should believe it. It was not generally known. There was much irritation; a quarrel between Mr. Reisbeck and me, and I threw this in his teeth. I was not the founder of the story.—Damages, £5O for the plaintiff. IMPORTANT CASE.—The following case, which is both novel and important, will be tried before the Judges at Glasgow, at the ensuing Circuit. In the `lad year of the reign of King George 11. a statute was passed, which prohibits the sending of artificers out of the kingdom, and also the exportation of uten sils used in any of the manufactures of Great Br itain or Ireland. This statute declares, " that any person who shall be convicted of having persuaded any workman or artificer of or in any of the manufac tures of Great Britain or Ireland to leave the king dom, and go into any foreign country not within the dominions of the Crown, shall forfeit the sum of five hundred pounds, and be imprisoned in the common jail for the space of twelve calendar months, without bail or mainprize, and until such forfeiture be paid." Some time since Messrs. Robert Thomson and Son, manufacturers, Hutcheson Town, Gorbals, invented and established a manufacture of a particular kind of carpets, composed of cotton warp and woollen weft. These carpets formerly bad a great sale in the United States of America. Robert Lee, residing at Southcroft, parish of Rutherglen, is charged with having, contrary to the above statute, persuaded and engaged James Mitchell, carpet-weaver, to leave the employment of Robert Thomson and Son, and to go to the United States of America ; and also with l having obtained and attempted to send with him a machine similar to the carpet-looms of Robert Thom son and Son. Mitchell sailed from Greenock for New York on the 25th of September, 1820. On his arrival in that town he entered the service of John and Nicholas Haight, and instructed them to esta blish a manufactory of carpets precisely similar to those manufactured by Robert Thomson and Son. Messrs. Haight having procured a patent from the American Government, as the inventors of this de scription of carpets, the sale of those of Robert Thom son and Son, and all the carpets of the same descrip tion, was consequently interdicted in the State of New York, to the serious loss of Robert Thomson and Son, and to the injury of the trade and manu factures of this kingdom. It. Lee was apprehended on the above charge, but was bailed. A singular event has occurred at St. Claude (Jura); an individual, pursued by the gendarmerie, escaped his pursuers, and took refuge, in a state of nud!ty, at the house of a Cure, some distance from St. Claude. To account for his appearing in this plight, and making so precipitate an entrance, he announced himself as the Grand Vicar of the Bishop, who was immediately to take possession of the Bishopric of St. Claude ; and stated that lie bad been attacked by rob bers in an adjacent wood, who had taken from him all his property, together with his apparel, and that it was a miracle he had escaped with life. Conducted by his host to the house of another Cure, he repeated the same tale; his new host received him with the greatest kindness, and with the respect due to his sup posed rank in the hierarchy, offering him the best ap parel, a gold watch, and 25 louis (all the venerable pastor possessed), which the pretended Grand Vicar very readily accepted. They then set out for St. Claude, where having learnt the residence of the Cure, they proceeded thither; the Cure was absent, and a messenger was sent to inform him that the Grand Vicar wished to see him : the pastor hastened home, but in consequence of his age and infirmities, had no sooner reached his house, than he found himself so much indisposed that he was obliged to retire to his bed. The pretended Grand Vicar expressed a desire to remain alone with him for a few minutes, and his companion retired. The pretended Grand Vicar then produced a brace of pistols, demanded the Cure's keys, and having possessed himself of all his valuable property, succeeded in making his escape. The city of Saltzburg, the native place of HAYDN, has lately paid a just tribute of respect to the ashes of that celebrated Composer. The mortal remains of the author of the Creation bad reposed almost for gotten for fifteen years in the cemetery of St. Peter.— . The Rector, Wsaircaun, his friend, and the Com poser HACKER, his scholar, opened a subscription to raise him a monument. On the 9th of August, the , anniversary of his death, this monument, which had been placed is: the Church of St. Peter, was conse crated by a solemn requiem, the music of which was i the last unfinished work of the illustrious dead in whose honour it was now played. A multitude of his fellow-citizens and friends attended this ceremony, which acquired additional interest by the presence of his widow. 1 , 1
