variety rtf gay attire; besides the hundreds of thou sands of the lower classes—the bay exhibiting the Royal squadron, with all their flags proudly waving in a var i c ty of colours, that had a most picturesque effect ; the thunder of their cannon vying with the acclaroa tiols (f the people. When his MAJESTY entered the boat that was to convey him to the yacht, and during his passage to that vessel, the band stationed at the Royal tent played Attack's Day. Tour Gentlemen (two of them in riding dresses, with spurs on) laid i hold of the rudder a nd clun g to t ; three fell into the water, and fairly swam' to the shore ; they succeeded in shaking his MAJESTY S hand; one more perse vering than the rest, stuck fast to the rudder like a Larnicte, and succeeded in maintaining himself there, until his MAJESTY, apprehensive for his safety, or dered bins to be conveyed . on board a barge in at tendance, and condescendingly thanked him for his real. A female, who appeared desirous to hand the KING a paper, was also forced into the water by the overwhelming clowd. The Rcy al barge, stretching across the harbour, micLed the BoyalGew,ge under a salute from the fleet, which was . maintait.ed during the KING'S progress, and answered by the guns from the towers, the Pigeon-house, and the Park. On his MAJESTY'S reaching the yacht, he remained on deck for some time, and waved his bat to the people on the beach. In about half an hour the crowd began to bend their way towards the village of Durileary ; it seemed as if it were but one living trues of human beings jammed closely together, and their progress was, consequently, so slow, that it. was dark by the time' the last of them reached Mole-my. Here the road was blockedup by landaus, curr;cles, carriages, jaunt ing-cirs, gigs, and vehicles of every description, three or four deep, for a considet able extent. At the time we left the pier (eight o'clock) his NIAJESTY'S squa dron was not under sail. After night-fall, the boats still crowded about the Royal yacht, which was bril liantly illuminated. The great business was now to get back to town. The immense living mass had crowded as nearly to one point as was possible. On going out, each took the road and hour most convenient during the day. Now all sought the city at the same moment, and by the same route; the consequence was a complete stoppage, owing to the road being filled with every kind of vehicle. At eight o'clock (it was then dark) the last of the line of carriages had riot yet passed the martello-tower at Danleary ! The Ladies, young I and old, and children, who crowded in them, were sadly at a loss for refreshment of some kind, after the day, they having, for the most past, left town at an early hour. Bread was in peat demand, but not to be had for any price, in sufficient quantity; and water told at three pence a bottle! PARTING ADNIONITION AND iwuNeTtoN. The following is a copy of a letter addressed to his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT by Viscount SIDMouTU : " Dublin Castle, September 3, 1821. 4 . MY Loan—The time of the king's departure from Ireland being arrived, I am commanded by his Majesty to express his entire approbation of the man ner in which all persons acting in civil and military situations in the city of Dablin and its neighbourhood have performed their s-n , eral duties, durin3 the pe !jod of his Majesty's esidence in this part of the kingdom. His Ml:esty is pleased to consider that to your E :cellency his acknowledgments'are particularly due, lie is conscious how much he owes to your Excellency's attentions and arrangements; and his Majesty gladly avails himself of this occasion of de claring the high sense wi:ich he entertains of the abi lity, temper, and firmll:2,s, with which your Excel lency has uniformly aLitninistered the great trust which he has placed in your hands. " I am further commanded to state, that the testi- monies of dutiful and affectionate attachment which his Majesty has received from all classes and descrip tions of his Irish subjects, have made the deepest im pression on his mind ; and that he looks forward to the period when he shall revisit them with the strong est feelings of satisfaction. His Majesty trusts that in the meantime, not only the spirit of al union which :low so generally exists, will remain unabated and unimpaired, but that every cause of irritation will be avoided and discountenanced, mutual forbearance aad good will observed and encouraged, and a secu rity he thus afforded for the continuance of that con cord amongst themselves, which is not less essential to his Majesty's happiness than to their own, and which it has been the chief object of his Majesty, during his residence in this country, to cherish and promote. " His Majesty well knows the generosity and warmth of heart which distinguish the character of Lis faithful people in Ireland, and he leaves them with a heart full of affection towards them, and with a confident and gratifying persuasion that this parting admonition and injunction of their Sovereign will not be given in vain.—l have the honour to be, with treat truth and regard, my Lord, your Excellency's most obedient and faithful servant, ‘, SIDMOUTII.

Mr. Wolff, in an interview with the Executors, Dr. Llishington and Mr. Wilde, spoke of the late Queen in terms of almost paternal affection. This venerable man had been her early religious instructor, and he mentioned the amiable qualities she displayed in her infancy and youth in terms of the highest eulogium. He said, eg When she last visited Brunswick (in 1811), immediately on her arrival she sent for me, and she received me with such affection, and with an artless ness of manners so peculiarly her own, that I could not help throwing myself upon my knees at her feet, and blessing GOD that, though so many xears had elapsed, and her outward circumstances so mate rially changed, she was yet the creature of that en dearing simplicity that so much delighted me in her early years.' Tears gushed from the eyes of the good old man as he told the interesting tale. SUNDAY AVGVST 26. This morning, at nine o'clock, Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, Alderman Wood, and the other friends of her late Majesty, with most of her Household, attended Divine Service in the Cathedral. The venerable Clergyman appeared in a scarf, and in the latter end of his discourse alluded, in the most affecting manner, to the life and sufferings of the Il lustrious Lady, whose remains on the preceding morn ing had been consigned to the silent tomb. At this part of his address, many of the male, and almost the whole of the female, part of the audience were in tears. Considerable surprise and much indignation were ma nifested by the Public, on finding that all the em blems of mourning were removed from the Church. Many of the most respectable inhabitants of the place were in mourning; but numbers were deterred, much against their inclination, from the fear of of fending the higher Authorities. It is confidently as serted, that the most positive instructions have been issued by the Government, prohibiting these external marks of respect. Yesterday morning it was rumoured that the younger part of the population of this town intended, as a mark of respect, to assemble this evening before the Hotel d'Angleterre, with torches and bands of music, to serenade the distinguished friends of their late Illustrious Princess—a mode of expressing public approbation verytommon in Germany. It was, how ever, thought proper to prevent it ; and in conse quence, an order was sent round to the merchants and tradesmen not to suffer their clerks and appren tices to leave the house; and the police were in structed to prevent the carrying of lights or the play ing of music. Thus far the design was frustrated ; but about eleven o'clock, several hundreds of most respectably dressed individuals assembled before the Hotel, and called for Lord Hood, Dr. Lushington, Alderman Wood, &c. and on the appearance of these Gentlemen, and likewise the Ladies Hood and Ha milton, they rent the air with their acclamations.— They continued there till considerably after twelve o'clock, and then separated with the utmost order. Although they were disappointed in the principal part of their object, yet no disposition to irregularity, was manifested. They seemed to be determined to make full amends for the absence of music, by the length and vehemence of their applause. In Eng land, that such a public demonstration of popular feeling should be prevented taking place on a Sun day, might be accounted for on the ground of usage and religious considerations; but it is impossible that here that could have been the cause. The Theatre, and all the places of public amusement, are opened here on Sunday ; nor is it the custom of closing the shops even during the time of Divine Service. MONDAY, AUGUST 27. Much bustle was manifested this morning at an early hour before the Hotel d'Angletetre, and a con siderable concourse of people arrived, and there took their stations. About half-past eight a carriage drew up to the door, and two interesting little girls, dressed in the costume of the flower-girls that attended the funeral (white fiocks, black sashes, and crape round their heads), alighted and inquired for Lady A. Ha milton. They were shortly after introduced to her Ladyship, and presented to her a most pleasing Ad dress from themselves and companions, of which the following is a translation: " TO LADY A. HAMILTON, NOW IN BRUNSWICK. " MADAM-At the grave of her Majesty, the late much honoured Queen, we expressed the sentiment of our deepest affliction ; and now we wish to give our most sincere thanks likewise to you, for the af fectionate love and attachment you always, even in the most difficult situations, sheaved to her deceased Majesty. May GOD recompense you and all the faithful men and female servants of the late Queen, for this universally admired fidelity." her Ladyship was highly gratified with this simple and affectionate Address, and detained her young friends with her a considerable time. On parting with them she gave to each some small present that had been the property of her late Majesty, and with which they were delighted beyond bounds. It should be observed, that the young females who acted as flower-girls are the daughters of some of the most opu lent merchants and tradesmen in Brunswick. Shortly after nine o'clock, a Deputation from the Citizens and Inhabitants of Brunswick, consisting of about thirty Gentlemen, all dressed in deep mourn ing, arrived at the Hotel. They were soon after in troduced to Lord Hood's apartments, where they were received by his Lordship, the Ladies, and other principal personages in the suite. One of the Gen tlemen of the Deputation then stept forward, and read in English, the following Address : " To Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, Doctor Lushington, and other distinguished friends of her late Most Gracious Majesty, Caroline, Queen of England. 14 My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen—The Citizens of Brunswick who have requested the honour of waiting upon you, beg leave to assure you, that our hearts are penetrated with sentiments of the deepest gratitude for the attachment and esteem you have at all times shewn to her Majesty the late Queen of Eng. land,and Princess of Brunswick. " Being greatly indebted to the Ducal House of Brunswick for numberless benefits, we venture to offer to you our most sincere thanks for that distinguished attachment which you have shewn to her Majesty,' as a member of that Illustrious House, and for the interest yc.o have taken in her manifold disasters." To which Lord Hood returned thelollowing answer : " GENTLEMEN—AIIow me to return you, in the came of myself and comp.mions, our most sincere , We cannot but consider, that your attachment to that Illustrious Lady has influenced you to confer upon us this unexpected honour : an honour consi • derably increased in our estimation by such consi deration. Suffer me again, Gentlemen, most sin cerely to thank you for the flattering mode in which I you have conveyed y our sent i men t s , an d to ass u r e you that it will never be effaced from our recollection. " His Lordship then introduced the Ladies and Gentlemen around him to the Members of the De- ' putation, who bowed, and afterwards retired. They then proceeded to the apartment of Mr. Alderman Wood, to whom they, in the same manner, presented an Address, of which the following is a copy : " TO M. WOOD, ESQ. ALDERMAN, AND MEMBER OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. 46 Sin—A Deputation from the Inhabitants and Citizens of Brunswick, very much affected at the loss of their beloved Princess, the late Queen of England, desire to express their sensibility of the most active interest which you have kindly evinced for her wel fare from the time of her last return to England till the melancholy end of her existence. Accept of our sincere thanks for the most noble attachment you have shewn her. 46 As we hear that it is your intention so shortly to leave our town, we heartily wish you a safe return to your native country—the land of freedom and happiness." The worthy Alderman then addressed the Gentle men of the Deputation as follows : " GENTLEMEN— I cannot find words to express the feelings with which I receive this public avowal of ycur approbation of my conduct to our late most gracious Queen and your illustrious Princess. In the Corporation of London, of which I have the honour to be a Member, I many years ago considered it my duty to move an Address to that illustrious Lady the Princess of Wales. I did this contrary to the wishes of many of my friends with whom I was in the habit of acting, who were fearful of its success. It was, however, carried by a powerful majority, and it was followed by Addresses from every part of Great Bri tain. From that time, my connexion with this great and unfortunate Lady has been more intimate; and on the death of his late most gracious Majesty, George 111. I received from her several letters from the Continent, intimating her determined resolution of proceeding immediately to England, and, regard less of consequences, to assert her claim to all the rights and privileges of her high station, and stating the unpleasant situation in which she then found her self placed. In consequence, I hastened to her, and the noble magnanimity with which she spurned the offered bribe of £50,000 a year to remain from Eng land, neither time nor circumstances can ever efface from my memory. Her only fear was, that compul sory measures would be adopted to hinder her pro ceeding. Nor were those fears allayed till she stept on English ground. She was received with open arms by that great and generous people, who, under all her trials, remained her unshaken friends. She had enemies, it is true, and those enemies English men : but I am persuaded that it would be difficult to find one of them whose judgment was not biassed by his interest. She is now, happily for herself, re leased from all the wretchedness to which she here was subject. The heavy afflictions she has borne are now for ever over ; and although we, who enjoyed the honour of her intimacy, must long feel our irre parable loss, yet to her it is a happy release. She died, Gentlemen, as a Christian should die. The day before the one on which she breathed her last, when, on being removed from her bed to a chair, as I was standing by her side, she repeatedly and fervently declared that she forgave all her enemies the cruelties that had brought her to the bed of death. 66 By the instructions that Government had thought proper to issue respecting her funeral, I was prohi bited attending as a mourner from England. I there fore have travelled at my own expense, to pay this last tribute of respect to one I so highly reverenced. " For acting as I have done, I have been assailed with innumerable calumnies ; but while the illustrious deceased pleased to honour me with her confidence, nothing on earth should have induced me to have withdrawn from her any token of attachment that it was in my limited power to shew. " I again, Gentlemen, return you my most sincere thanks for the pleasing testimony of your approbation of my public conduct, and likewise for your personal good wishes." Immediately after the deputation had withdrawn, the worthy Alderman, accompanied by his son, the Rev. J. P. Wood, left Brunswick for Hanover. It is their intention to proceed to England by the route of Holland and France. It was in contemplation, by the inhabitants of •Brunswick, that these Addresses should be presented by a far more numerous deputa tion, and in a style of much greater magnificence. But, from the decided part taken by the Court, pru dence was so opposed to this inclination, that they were compelled to abandon their intention. Very nu merous private messages were sent both to Lord Hood and Alderman Wood, from Gentlemen of the first respectability, alleging what we have alluded to, as the only reason that prevented their paying their personal respects, and assuring them how deeply they commiserated the sufferings of their late illus trious Princess, and honoured all her friends. The opinion of the Brunswickers, and indeed the opinion of the inhabitants of every part of Germany through which we have travelled, is exactly in unison with the popular feeling in England. They say that the reception given to the remains of Queen Caroline is a national disgrace: years will not wipe away the stain. They lament exceedingly that their young Pt ince has not assumed the reins of Government : it would not then, exclaim they, have been so. It is said, that it was not the intention of the Go vernment to order the bells to toll, nor the places of public amusement to be closed. Popular indigna tion was, however, so loudly and so strongly ex pressed, that if orders to the contrary were con templated, they were not enforced. The people, with an almost unanimous voice, declared that they would burst open the doors of the Churches, and, at what ever peril, toll the bells ; ar.d an elderly Gentleman, a merchant of considerable opulence in this town, 4onceiving that money would be an essential in effect ing the public wishes, instantly put down the sum of 2(1() dollars. " I knew , " r said he " the illustrious de- • thanks fot this &tiering mark of respect , and plea,ing l ceast‘J in her infancy, and i hare since venerated hrT testimony of your approbation of our conduct to the sorrows; and nothirg that I cal do shall be Wanting late much lamented Queen or Englaud, and Princess to give her remains aLI tie reception in her native town. ' of Brunswick. I Saturday an ineldent of rather a ludicrous nature -- / occurred in the immediate vicinity o f Brunswick. Two Gentlemen (it is rumoured Englishmen at tached to the Count) appeared in ()untie in coloured clothes. The populace conceiving this to be a pre meditated insult to the memory of the late Queen, surrounded them, and, without the least ceremony, upset them in the mud ; they then very coolly told 'them that they now were in half-mourning, and were requested to go home and nut on black. It is added. that this method of cold dying has had the desired effect, and that these Gentlemen have since always appeared in mourning. ft is said that the young Princes of Brunswick, who are now prosecuting their studies in Switzerland, were exceedingly anxious to attend the funeral ohs... quies of their Royal aunt, but that their earnest ap plication for permission met with a decided negative. The Royal vault is not yet closed. The coffin, con taining the remains of her late Majesty, continues ors the bier; nor will it be deposited in a niche until some other member of the lamay closes their earthly career. It appears to be the custom for the last de ceased to occupy that station—the remains of the late Duke were removed to make room for those of his Royal Sister. The flowers have been removed frons the coffin, but remain scattered round the bier; and a wreath, suspended by a white riband, is hung over its head. The principal personages of the suite proceed to England by different routes. Orders are given for horses for the return of the attendants through Hano ver to Cuxhaven; off which port the Wye and the Gannett are in readiness to receive them; they lerie Brunswick at nine o'clock to-morrow morning. Since the arrival of Count Munster, the Legislative Body, or Parliament, has been elected, or more pro perly speaking, nominated by him. They are ex. pected shortly to assemble, for the purpose of being prorogued for three years, at which time the young Prince will be of age. BOXING. A game battle for .50 guineas took place yesterday in a field belonging to Captain Coveney, at Isaton, near Wycombe, be. tweets G. Matthews, the tinman, backed by Captain Coveney, and Davey, the Walton navigator, two eleven stone men, who bad won several battles. The tinman was seconded by Jones and Aleadows, and Davey by B. Ford and Young Bellborse.—. Six as manly stand-up rounds were fought as ever were seen, when an accident terminated the combat. There was not a parry attempted, and the men were not artists enough to hurt each other in a close, except in throwing. The first found Listed four minutes in exchanging hits, and more daring was never displayed. The play was made by the tinman, but every hit was returned, and he was thrown. Y. Davey had his lip laid open by a right-handed facer, but he returned boldly to the scratch, and exchanged many hits. In closing they had a trial at the wearing system, and both went down, and dropped the claret freely. 7.. A short round in favour of Davey, who floored his adver sary by a hit on the jaw. 4. Counter hits were exchanged at meeting, which sent both from the scratch, and gave them a little time to consider, but they soon turned-to again and fought to a stand still. Dave* was thrown. 5. The tinntan was much punished about the head, and after a good raUy, he was floored by a body blow. Davey the favourite 6th and last. Hits were exchanged, and another rally followed with heavy blows. Davey was thrown a imminent', and pitching on the right arm, it dislocated it, and won the battle for the tinnian, in twenty-seven minutes. INTERESTING MOVEMENTS OF THE FANCY. In consequence of Madan having announced his intention of exhibiting his talents once more in the prize ring on Tuesday next, after taking his leave of It upwards of two years since, by a public challenge to all England for 500 guineas a-side, it is impossible to describe the interest which this milling event has excited throughout the circles of the .Fattcy. Martin was the last opponent Randall defeated, on May 4, 1819, occupying 19 rounds, in 49 minuteta4o seconds, without giving the Afaster ..bf • Me Bolls a shadow of c hance. But since that period the aimations of the above combatants have been most strikingly different, re:wetting their importance with the amateurs. The cab:al.:vs practice and success of the-el/aster of Me Rolls have made him quite a hero in the sporting world. Joshua Hudson the genie John BuU fighter; the iran,hitling Cabbage, the terror of Brie tol ; the slashing, quick punishing Birmingham Youth; the big, strong Lipsey, at Lewes Races • the lively, active, and pretty boxer, David Hudson; have a ll defeated in succession, a nd in go od style, by Martin : added to these batches of good luck, he has also received forfeit from l'urcell, and likewise con quered the hitherto out-and out and teary Turner, in a most masterly manner. These actions speak fur themselves; and, as a pugilist, he is considered to have made great improvements and as a good trainer, none excels, and very few 'can equal Martin. Ile is more etopyid.wt than heretofore, and is now look ing forward to reach the lop of the bee. On the contrary, Ran dal!, contented with having proved the conqueror in twelve battles, left the ring to serve his numerous customers in the ca pacity of a publican; or, in other words, to become a sort of smite butt to the fancy. Being careful as to his person was now out of the question, as Randall had done with the character of a prim fighter; and as a blue ruin caterer for the amateurs, it wad impossible, at all times, to resist the pressing invitations of his customers to let it pass his lips. These circumstances, as to the stamina, is giving the chance away of two points out of three; and any boxer who enters the prize ring from such tastes, is in great danger of finding it out. At th e en d of April, in the present year, Randall was so dangerously ill that his recovery was almost despaired of by an eminent physician. In fact, bo ought not to have entered the ring again, but, in a moment of irritation, immediately on the defeat of his friend Turner, Ran• dell threw up his hat in the ring against Martin, for £3OO aside. This large Simi occasioned a little hesitation on the part of the • backers of Mlrtin ; but, upon comparing notes, the above stakes were got together; and the friends of Martin are very sanguine as to his winning. On the match being made, Randall was the favourite, 5 to 4 ; 6 to Q immediately followed; 7 to 4 was soon afterwards laid without any sort of delay ; 2 to 1,2 i to 1, and even .1 to 1 has been demanded, so high does Randall still stand as a prize fighter in the sporting would. The Pals are so warm hearted upon it that they assert, by de potocrs," with or withoull a constitution he can bate a botch of Masters of the &Re But this sort of enthusiasm is very far from anything like a criterion upon the subject. Randall may be the best fighter; but his op ponent is not wily a stone heavier , but he has also the advas. Cages of height and length. The Master of the Rolls is far from an indifferent boxer, and who can hit twice as hard as Turner-- such is the authority of Scruggins. An accidental blow, how. ever, soon spoils the bets; and the long odds has, in too many instances, been floored; for the dies of the "geofljudges." At all events it is a most interesting feature to the Laney: and great doubts have been expressed by the " 11. in Me corner cores" whe ther Randall is actually wen, or only "patched up !" Upwards of see'.oo,ooo is depending upon the issue; and one Gentleman _ alone has spurted 5e5,000 on the Nonpareil. Martin is in his 25th year, and Randall ::ti.
