At eight o'clock last night, a numerous and most respectable Meeting of the Committee that had for merly conducted the procession of the Qunem to St. Paul's, was convened at the Freemasms' Tavern, for the purpose of adopting the most expedient and ex peditious means of attending the Royal remains some part of the way to the grave of its ancestors. An of ficial letter from the Sub-Secretary of State for the Home Department, through the instructions of Lord LIVERPOOL, produced a Deputation from this Com mittee, which returned as uninformed as it went.— JOSEPH HUME, Esq. M.P. Sir GERARD NoEL, Mr. THELWALL, and several other Gentlemen, entered the room at ten o'clock. Mr. Huste then proceeded to inform the Meeting that they had just left Brandenburgh House; and he was sorry to say, that Government had thought fit to withhold all information from her Majesty's Exe cutors as to the exact route they intended to remove the Royal Body ; but he earnestly requested all those Gentlemen who would a^company the Funeral, to meet in the front of Brandenburgh House as early as six in the morning. The Government, he like wise stated, had refused to permit Mr. Alderman Wood to accompany the corpse on its melancholy journey, urging, that he did not strictly belong to her Majesty's Household. The worthy Alderman had been told, that he would not be allowed a seat in any of her Majesty's carriages, nor would he be su-,:red to sail in any of the Royal shipping ap pointed to convey her Majesty's re mains from Harwich. Mr. THELWALL was requested to inform the nu merous assemblage in front of the Tavern of all that had transpired at the Meeting, which that Gentle man did, and the crowds separated peaceably. MEETING AT HAMMERSMITH, TO ERECT A MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF HER LATE MAJESTY. Yesterday a numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of Hammersmith took place at the Vestryroem, in the Church, to consider the best means of evincing their respect for the memory of her late most gra- cious MAJESTY. MI. GOStME, the Churchwarden, was unanimously called to the Chair. The worthy Chairman stated the object of the Meeting, and assured the Gentle men that he had given the matter every publicity that the shortness of the notice would permit of, and he was extremely happy to see so many of his fellow parishioners assembled on this interesting occasion. J. llowLiNc. E,q. said, since the residence of her Majesty in this hamlet, the inhabitants had uniformly evinced their most ardent attachment to her person and her cause, and they had assembled here this day in order to adopt the best means they could of proving to the world that they really felt all the affection for the Illustrious Lady that they had uniformly ex pressed, and that it did not consist merely in empty profession. It was impossible at present to say what precise measure would be adopted; but it would doubtless be the object of the Meeting to hand down' to posterity some token of the high respect which they all entertained for the departed Queen. He had not the ability to convey a full and adequate de scription of the eventful life of her Majesty; but he would take upon himself to declare his firm belief, that since her residence in this hamlet, her conduct had been such as to endear her to every bean, and to give the lie—the damning lie—to all the numerous calumnies that had been heaped upon her. Even her greatest enemies must admit this, and no man who had had the felicity of witnessing her kind, her generous, her affable conduct, to all who came under her notice, could withhold the tribate of his admira tion. The speaker then took an able review of the life of her late Majesty, and spoke of her magnani mous conduct on many trying occasions with a de gree of warmth and feeling that called forth repeated cheers from his auditory. He declared he would feel far more pleasure in having it to say that he had been the friend of the Queen in the time of her adversity-, than if the King was to confer upon him the highest gift that it was in the power of Majesty to bestow— (Hear, hear). —It was the duty of the inhabitants of this hamlet to erect such a monument to the memory of her Majesty, as would convey to posterity the high opinion which they entertained of her exalted virtues. Their succetsors would, he was sure, view it with pride and satisfaction, and would say exultingly to the gazing passingers--" My father"—or, My grandfather, was one who contributed to the erection of this monument !"—( Hear, hear.)—After some fur- This is the last Will and Testament of me, CARO LINE, Queeu-Consort of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

CAROLINE R. Dated Seventh Day of August, 1821. Witness, HENRY U. THOMSON. Kensington. Ft as.—Thursday morning, a little after one o'clock, the premises of the Northumberland Glass Company, situated in the Close, Newcastle, were discovered to be on fire. The flames raged with great violence, and soon destroyed the warehouses and premises in front of the building. The back part, where the glass is manufactured, sustained but little damage; but the buildings on the east side of the glass-house, the habitations of a number of poor families, several of them employed in the glass works, were almost wholly destroyed, and presented a scene the most distressing to the feelings of humarity—liell:e,s in fancy and age, with all their kindred, suddenly de prived of shelter, and weeping the loss of all earthly comforts. The warehouses at the time of the acci dent were, unfortunately, unusualiy filled with goods, consequently the loss must be very great. The fire was got under about five in the morning. CHELMSFORD, AUGUST 10. MURDER BY POISON. James Emery was indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah King, on the 29th of May last, at White Nottley, in this county, by administering to her a quantity of arsenic, of which she died in a few hours. This case excited uncommon interest from the atro city of its circumstances—the murder of an unhappy girl, who had been seduced and become pregnant by the prisoner. The facts proved in evidence were these :—The prisoner, a well-looking man, about 25 years of age, a labourer in the employment of a Gentleman in the adjoining parish to White Nottley, had paid his ad dresses to the deceased, a young woman under 20, and having seduced her, she became pregnant. The deceased lived with her father, and some younger brothers and sisters, in a small cottage, consisting of three apartments. About a week before the trans action in question, the prisoner came to see the de ceased, and they conversed together at the back of the house. A , young si,ter of tie deceased, knowing her situation, listened to the conversation. She heard the deceased say to the prisoner, " Emery, 1 am with child by you." The prisoner said, "If you like any , body better than me, you may swear the child to him.' The deceased said, " You know I have not been with any other Ferson hut yourself ; and, there-. fore, I shall swear it to you." They parted apparently very good friends. On the 29th of May, in the even ing, about six o'clock, the prisoner came again and conversed with the deceased in the parlour. Their conversation was overheard by the younger sister, who listened at the door. When the prisoner went in he said to the deceased, " How do you do ?" She said, " I am worse." Ile replied, " 0, you are worse are you ? I have brought you a box of_pills, and 1 will give you a pound note if you will take them."— The deceased said she would take them. He left her a box of pills, containing about twelve, and went away. About eight o'clock the deceased went to bed, having eaten a hearty supper of boiled cabbage.— Before going to bed she took seven of the pills. In the course of the night she awoke in great torture, and was violently sick. The pain increased so much that she sent her little sister to a neighbouring public house to get her a halfluartern of gin, which she took in some water. This aggravated her pain. She then told her sister to take two phials which bad con tained some stuff of the prisoner's prescribing, and which she bad previously taken, and the pill-box, and hide them in a field at the hack of the house, and at the same time said, " Why should Emery be hanged ? Emery will be hanged ; they will hang Emery,' or words to that effect. Her pain continuing to increase, she sent her sister to get some beer. The girl went, and when she returned, in about ten minutes, she found the deceased a corpse. On opening her body, it was found that her death was produced by arsenic. The remainder of the pills, which she had not taken, on being analysed, were found to contain six grains ofl arsenic each, and in the opinion of the Surgeon, one half of a single pill would have produced death. The father of the deceased, who was a labouring man, was not aware of the courtship of his daughter with the prisoner, and at the time of her death was gone to his daily labour. As soon as the girl's death became talked of, the prisoner absconded with a few of his clothes, selling the remainder to a fellow-servant.— It was proved that, about a fortnight before the girl died, he had been inquiring of a blacksmith in the neighbourhood what was the mode of procuring a miscarriage? but the blacksmith refused to tell him. He then went to Chelmsford, and bought half an ounce of nux vomica, and the same quantity of arse nic, of a horse-doctor, under pretence that he wanted to destroy the rats and mice which infested his room, and gnawed his clothes hutch, and his wearing ap parel. This, in fact, turned out, by the evidence of his fellow-servant, to be false ; for there were no rats or mice in his room, neither had his clothes hutch or wearing apparel been injured. It was impossible to ascertain what had been in the bottles which the pri soner had sent to the deceased, but it appeared that she had been taking the contents for about a week before her death. When the prisoner was told of the girl's death, he said, " Then I shall be had up before the Magistrates." He admitted to his fellow-servant that he had taken a bottle of stuff to the deceased.— On a subsequent occasion, after he had absconded, he said to one of the witnesses examined, at a public house in Roxwell parish, " I dare say you have heard what I came away for. I dare say you heard that I have come away on account of that cursed wench, who was poisoned at Nottley." To another witness he said, he had got the stuff for the girl, but that he did not give it her with an intention to do her! any injury. Mr. Tomkin, a Surgeon, and Mr. Baker, an ope rative Chymist, were of opinion that the decease d came to her death by arsenic. • The prisoner, being called upon for his defence, said—" I have nothing to say. lam quite innocent of what the girl says. I did not do it." Mr. Justice BURROUGH charged the Jury in point of law, that if they should be of opinion that the pri-, soner administered the poison to the deceased, though it was not done with intent to kill or murder her, but with a view to procure miscarriage, yet inasmuch as that would be an illegal act, the prisoner must take the consequences if death ensued, and there was no material distinction whether the woman was quick with child or not. If the prisoner had administered the poison, he was guilty of murder. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then passed sentence of death, and he was ordered for execution on Monday (yester day). The prisoner was resigned to his fate, and ap peared very little affected. MURDER BY STRANGULATION. William Akers was indicted for the wilful murder of Patience Ellis, a single woman, by strangling her with a pocket-handkerchief, at Wickham Bishops,-in this county, on the 19th of June. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased, who was about thirty-five years of age, had for many years been a helpless cripple, incapable of doing any thing to assist herself. She lived with her mother. The prisoner lodged in the same house, in which there was also another lodger. About six weeks be fore the 19th of June, the day the deceased died, she had been poorly and confined to her bed, hut was on that day observed to be better. On that day, about two o'clock, the deceased and the prisoner were left alone. Shortly afterwards be charged a girl, grand-daughter of the deceased's mother, svhu al„, lived in the house, not to disturb the deceased, arid left the house. After some interval the grand. daughter went into the room of the deceased, an found her dead. She gave an alarm, upon which the prisoner and other persons came in and examiner, the body, which exhibited various marks of vi o l ence , which were then thought to be the effects of mortified-I tion. The prisoner soon after went into the village. and communicated the death of the dece-r-ed, although not requested to do so, bespoke a coffin for her, giving the size of it, and desiring thra no one should measure or examine the body. At his re quest the corpse was two days afterwards enclosed, and he himself screwed down the coffin. At the re. quest of the grand-daughter, the coffin was opened again, but soon fastened down. Shortly after it was' said that the deceased had been pregnant, in cone. quence of which the body was examined :gain by a medical main who declared that she probably died o f dropsy. In a day or two sul;eequently, in coast. quence of reports of a disagreeable nature Lecoming pre 'alent, the body was agaia examined by another surgeon, who was of opinion that she had died bs violence, and that she was eight months gene wiLti child.—A Coroner's Inquest was then summoned, the prisoner saying that he should like to he on the Jury. He afterwards declared t%at the deceased had hum ! herself, that he had found her suspended from thr tester of the bed, and bad with his own hands cut her down. It appeared that the tester of the bed could not possibly have supported the weight of tie deceased. The next day the pr.'s. our was appre hended, upon which he acknowledged that be was the father of the child of which the deceased way pregnant, and produced a silk handkerchief with which he declared she had destroyed herself. This was the substance of the evidence. A great number of witnesses were called to prove the einterent cir cumstances upon which the charge against the Ri mer rested. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was innocent, and that his motive for concealing the manner of the deceased's death, was to prevent her being buried in the highway for suicide. One witness, who had known the prisoner for 1 years, gave him a good character for 'amenity an,, kindness of disposition. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence for the Jury with minuteness and precision. He desired them to take the whole case into their consideration, and if they had any doubts, to let those doubts ope rate in favour of the prisoner. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. and sentence of death being passed upon him, he was ordered for execution on Monday tyesterday). The prisoner was perfectly composed during the whole trial, which lasted from nine in the morning until half-past three in the afternoon. The trials of Messrs.THELWA LI., DOLBY, and KING, at the prosecution of the Bridge-street Association. which had been postponed to September, are further put off till December.
