THE KING'S PROGRESS' BARTH ER PA RT/CCLA RS. CANTERBURY, SEPTEMBER 21 - _ Although his MAJESTY declined all public atten tion which might interrupt his progress, the loyalty of this City manifested itself in every outward mark o f a ttachment and respect. Colours were, early yesterday morning, hoisted on the towers of Westgate and St. Dunstan s Church, a t the Guildhall, and in other conspicuous situations; the Guildhall was also decorated with oak boughs, w hich were likewise displayed on the fronts of most of the houses cf the principal streets through which his MAJESTY passed, and in some situations, arches formed of boughs were thrown from one side to the o ther, the effect of which was strikingly pleasing.— The Mayor and Corporation, accompanied by Mr. /,usuraoroa, one of the Members, assembled at the Guildhall at an early hour in the afternoon, and awaited in their robes, with the sword and mace, his Maims-is arrival. From an early hour in the morning, which was sin gularly beautiful, numbers had continued to arrive in the city from the adjacent country, and the streets were thronged with an immense concourse of visitors, many of them elegantly dressed females, and of the first families in the vicinity ; these, with the passing and reprising of the Yeomanry Cavalry and Military to their different stations, gave animation to a scene rarely witnessed, and in which every heart beat high in the hope of beholding their beloved Monarch, in hie fire visit as KING to this ancient city. RAMSGATE, TeginAT EVENINC:. A company of fourteen sat down at table with his MAJESTY at the dinner at Sir WILLIAM CURTIS'S, on Monday evening, viz.—The Marquis of CONYNG RANI, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Sir BENJAMIN BLOONI YIELD, Sir EDNI UND NAGLE, Lord Chief Justice DAL LAS, Baron GAPROW, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, and five of his family. We cannot omit to mention a trait of his MAJESTY'S kindness and consideration: Lieutenant T. Cony's, a nephew of Sir WILLIAM, bad the honour of being present, when his MAJESTY took out of his pocket a Commander's Commissiwn, and presented to the young Gentleman, saying that it was a mark of respect for his uncle, Sir WILLIAM; and hoped that he, Lieutenant Courts, would long enjoy this and other honours in his profession. The embarkation of his MAJESTY took place this day under circumstances which must prove to him the loyalty and devotion of the people of this place and its neighbourhood. His MAJESTY left the hos pitable residence of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS about ball past ten, in an open landau, accompanied by Lord LIVERPOOL, the Marquis CONYNGHAM, Sir WILLIAM Coatis, and another Gentleman, and immediately proceeded to the Pier or (Trinity) House, where the Deputation awaited his arrival, and to whose Ad dress he was pleased to return a most gracious An swer, adding, that as it was not the first time he had visited Ramsgate, it should certainly not be the last. In a few minutes his MAJESTY proceeded by the boarded platform to the barge, into which, as he de scended, he took off his cap, repeatedly placed his land to his breast, and bowed with the most conde scending familiarity to the assembled thousands who lined the Pier. In the same manner he continued bowing until he had nearly reached the Royal George, which he ascended at precisely eleven o'clock. A Royal salute was immediately fired from the Pier, and the sloops of war which were to accompany his MaJr.sry observed the same respectful ceremony. At a gnat ter after eleven o'clock, the Royal yacht was under way for Calais. Before one o'clock, the vole of the Royal Squadron was almost out of sight, with the wind was in the most favourable point for the French coast. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM FIELD, accompanied by Mr. WILLIAM CURTIS, pro= ceeded to Calais at two o'clock this morning with the baggage of his MAJESTY, and also for the purpose of regulating the mode of travelling most conformable to the Royal wishes. His MAJESTY seemed quite delighted with the simple, hut sincere emblems of loyalty, which broke on his view as he proceeded to the Pier. It is impos s ible to describe the effect of this un usual scene. The East and West Cliffs were lined with well-dressed spectators, and the two sides of the Pier, as they almost converged at the entrance into the Basin, afforded a picture which language cannot sufficiently pourtray. Again tire: view upwards from the Pier shelved a mixed mass of persons, waving handkerchiefs and hats. Previous to the embarka tion, the harbour seemed covered over with craft of various sizes, and the Hero and London Engineer steam-boats from Margate, arrived full of passengers about ten o'clock. Altogether, the scene was one which must have been extremely gratifying to the feelings of his MAJESTY. The worthy Baronet, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, is to accompany his MAJESTY to Calais, and then return in his own yacht. Lord LIVE !woof. left the town soon after twelve oclock. Lords DARNLEY and CLIFTON Were the only strangers of distinction whom we noticed. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. The Hero and Engineer, Margate steam-vessels, arrived in Ramsgate harbour early this morning, for the purpose of conveying passengers, to accompany his iMforsry to the Continent; they had scarcely ecared Ramsgate pier, when an Officer arrived from his NlaJcsrv's yacht, on board the hero, stating she had permission to accompany his MAJESTY to ealais, for the purpose of towing him up the harbour, if ne cessary; the Proprietors having made the offer of their vessel for that purpow, his 31.uEsrst thus gra ciously accepted it with much condescension ; but this not beim; made known till the vessel was in the 16 'ttlis a difficulty arose as to the debarkation of the passengers; the En.incyr was hailed, and them fine steam_vess,.l s being lain along siJe each other, the ih'm emptied its live stock on board the Engineer, and immediately joined company with the SOVEREIGN. i f a fine day, fair wind, and the gorgeous display of innumerable vessels, both in the Roads and in the I) "wn , s literally covered with the colours of every " 4 ' 3 : the guns saluting from every point on shore, and the zealous cheers of the populace, could pro duce a sight grateful to thehuman heart, we this day beheld it; and, indeed; many were the contentions, on board the Ikro, before her passengers would quit her, each anxious to tread the same plank with his 6 mrereign ;—among other Gentlemen who secreted themselves for this purpose, WWI Mr. FAUCIT, the 'Pzeprictur of the Theatre Royal, Margate. His WA. srsry arrived at Calais early in the afternoon, after a trip of scarcely four hours, and apparently in ex cellent health and spirits. DEAL, SEPTENIBER 45. 4arly this morning the town of Deal and the Downs presented an unusual display of bustle and animation, produced by the unfeigned loyalty with which the in habitants were preparing to receive their Sovereign on his approach into their waters from Ramsgate. At eleven o'clock a Royal salute from the squadron lying off Ramsgate Harbour, which was immediately answered by the frigates in the Downs, announced the embarkation of his MAJESTY on board the Royal yacht, which, in a few minutes after, was observed to make sail, and stand for the Downs, in a most majestic style, attended by innu merable pleasure-vessels and ships of war. As she neared Deal, the scene became more and more animating ; boats of all sizes were to be seen hastening to the Royal yacht, crowded with persons of both sexes, and all ranks; the enthusiasm with which they cheered his MAJESTY, as he sailed past them, produced the most condescending returns. His MAJESTY repeatedly approached the gangway of the ship, and acknowledged with great feeling his sense of the affectionate attention of the people. The high health and spirits of his MaJesrv—the fixed ness of the weather—the fairness of the wind, and every otl:er circumstance, tended to give zest to the scene. At half-past twelve his MAJESTY passed through the Downs ; at a quarter past one he was clear of the South Sand Head ; at three, nothing was visible from Deal but the Royal standard at the main top•gall.u:t-mast head ; and at four P.M. this day, his MAJESTY was safe on shore at Calais. DEAL, SEPTEMBER 26. IliS MAJESTY landed at Calais at four o'clock yes terday. The Royal George yacht and the remainder of the Royal Squadron have returned to the Downs, but will proceed to Portsmouth immediately the wind becomes fair, which is at present W.N.W. Two young Ladies spread their shawls for his MA JESTY to walk over when he came on shore at Mil ford. The stone on which his MAJESTY first trod is to be removed into the Milford Masonic Lodge. When Mr. (now Sir RICHARD) BIRNIE was intro duced to the presence-chamber on his appointment to the Chief Magistracy of the Police, for the pur pose of receiving the honour of Knighthood, his MA JESTY was about to use his own sword in the cere mony, but having partly drawn it from the scabbard, he suddenly returned it, and turning to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who stood near him, said, " Duke, lend me your weapon." His Grace unsheathed the glittering blade, and placed it in his Sovereign's hand, and with this renowned sword the well-merited honour was conferred. SINGULAR CIRCUIISTANCE.—A female, aged up wards of seventy years, has reided for a consider able time in a small house, at Cambridge Heath, Hackney-road. She kept rte servant, associated with none of her neighbours, and the only inmate was a favourite cat. Her doors and windows were con stantly kept secured, and the signal of the milk•man, or any one applying for admission, was throwing a stone against the door or window. A neighbour's daughter was in the habit of going every morning to proctire her svelter, but on Monday, after repeated signals, she could get no entrance. The girl went for her mother, and v ith a diamond ring they cut a pane of glass, got admission, and proceeded up stairs. There they found the old Lady, by the side of her bed, with her clothes on, and a small piece of cat's meat in her hand. They soon discovered that she WAS dead. It is supposed that she died of apoplexy, a•. no marks of violence appeared, nor was any of the property disturbed. From the abstemious manner of her living, it was supposed her circumstances were very limited; but, on examining her drawers, Stock receipts and Government secur►ties were found to the amount of nearly One Hundred Thousand Poundal— She always declared she would make no will, for 64 the King" should have all her money. Every search has been made, but no will found. Her sister died a few years ago, and left her L'7ooo, which it now seems she at first declined, saying she was not in want of money. No relative has yet appeared : she was a maiden Lady, and her name Sarah Bond. No doubt all the musty parish registers will be examined by those of a similar name, in order to trace her pedi gree, and deprive King George IV. of such an im mense sum. Thursday Mrs. FRY, so justly celebrated for her benevolent efforts in the cause of philanthropy, visited the County Jail, Maidstone. She was accompanied by Lord and Lady TORRINGTON, and a large party of other Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr. AGAR, the Go vernor, attended the party through every department of the prison, explaining the various arrangements of that well-conducted establishment. Mrs. FRY ex pressed herself in terms of the warmest admiration at the cleanliness and order of the prisoners, and ap peared to feel greatly gratified by her visits CUVENT•GA ROES THEATRE.--The Tragic Play of Pizarro was last night revived at this Theatre, when Mr. YOUNG res u med the character of Rolla, and sup ported it throughout with a force of delineation which elicited the loudest plaudits. His address to the Pe ruvian army was a specimen of declamation as fine as we ever recollect to have heard, and was as loudly and unanimously applauded. Mrs. FAuctr's Elrira was highly respectable. ABBOT'S Alonzo, and Cos son's Pizarro, were not devoid of merit, and they each received a fair tribute of approbation from the audience. The Play was followed by the whimsical Farce of The Irish Widow, whi:h was revived last night at this Theatre, after having lain on the shelf for upwards of twenty years, for the purpose of in troducing a young Lady, new to the London boards, in the character of the Widow Brady. Her conception of the character was gond, and her brogue excellent : and the kindness and indulgence of the audience gave her every encouragement. Her reception was, on the whole, highly favourable. EMERY'S Whittle, W. FA RHEA KaLtiey, and BLANCHARD'S Thomas, constituted an exquisite treat to the admirers of the drama, and will give powerful aid in rendering the Piece a favourite with the Public. The House was full. Mr. MEADOW, from the Bath Theatre, who is now about to make his debut on the London Stage, at Covent-Garden, is the son of Mr. MEADOWS, formerly a favourite Comedian at the Haymarket Theatre. THE ARMY. Yesterday, Lord STtWART, Colonel of the 10th hussars, gyve a good substantial dinner to the privates and non-commissioned Officers of the Regiment, in the liiding-adtool of the Dorm: Barracks, at Brighton. The 15th Regiment have replaced the 27.1 rusileers in Dublin. Friday, the 35d Regiment left Naas for Fermoy, previous to embarking at Cork for t.te West Indies. Tuesday se'nnight, the Rifle Brigade marched from Fermoy, to replace the 351.1 Regiment at Naas and out quarter..

A Bahama paper, of the 25th of July, states, that the survey of the Gulf-stream has been completed, and that a new chart is prepared to be transmitted to the Lords of the Admiralty. It is said that the errors of all the old charts on the most prominent points of the Gulf-passage have been the cause of so many vessels getting on the Florida-reef. The following dreadful detail is extracted from a letter received at South Shields by the wife of a sea man on board the Greenwich, a South Sea whaler: " Sum GRIUMPICH, JAW. 7,1821.—0 r, the 21;th of Novem ber last, at five a. at. we heard a noise in the cabin, and the Se cond Mate, C.

TREMENDOUS INUNDATION.— Friday last, Holy well, near Chester, and its neighbourhood, were vi sited with one of the heaviest falls of rain ever remem bered, accompanied with tremendous thunder and lightning. About one o'clock, the villagers in the lowlands became greatly alarmed by the torrents which descended in all directions from the mountains, and with such extreme rapidity, that it became very difficult for them to escape the danger of being drowned. Several houses were nearly demolished by the violence of the storm. The cotton-works in Holy well sustained much damage from the over whelming torrent forcing its way through the lower stories with such rapid progress, that the lives of the people employed in the works were gteatly endan gered, the lower rooms becoming literally filled in a few seconds. Greenfield appeared most awful, the inhabitants of which were crying in all directions for help, and flying for security to the sides of the hills. The copper-works were also speedily filled with the flood, which created no inconsidet able degree of alarm. On the waters reaching the heated steam furnaces, the latter burst, with an explosion resem bling a heavy clap of thunder ; some part of the works, in consequence, took fire ; and tt was not without difficulty extinguished. Coals, and lead, and copper ore, were washed in considerable quantities from the different worm's in the neighbourhood. On li Saturday morning, the Marsh (below Holywell) pre sented a scene of desolation, in which were discover able the wrecks of valuable property which had been swept away by the impetuous deluge. Coal, copper and lead ore, cotton in packs, broken machinery, dead cattle, household furniture, stacks of hay, sheaves of corn, and, in fact, all kinds of materials which lay in the progress of the waters, were forced before the storm. It is said, that the loss sustained by the cot ton and copper works is estimated at several thou sand pounds; and it is likewise reported that three persons fell victims to the ravaging deluge.

BOXING. Yesterday morning a good sprinkling of the Fancy mustered at an early hour in I larper's-fields; Nlary.la-bonne, to witness, a batile hi tween George lUard (a pupil of Bill Kaki) and a Knigla of the Itaintnne, fur a guinea a-side. The latter, it seems, was always in training at his master's plentiful hoard, and being well &Laced out, and having little work to do, was upon suck prince terans with himself, that he took . the shine out of all the cores in his master's neighbourhood, by threatening to serve them in quick time, and sheaving light on alt occasions. Lots of ser vants out of place, and also numbers in sorritude, left their dabs by peep-o'day to get a viand at the soil; in fact, " the Livery" have not mustered so strongly for a long time past. The Knight lase Rainbow is a Herefordshire man, and he selected his coon tryinan Skiing, and Clark, for his seconds; and Filard was picked up by Tales and Paddington Jones. The combatants started in rattlers from their cribs, in the vicinity of Manchester squ.u•e, and the whole affair was an attempt at cutting a swell by the " high life below stairs ' party. Ellard was not fit to fight fur pins, mostly training in a tap-room, with bad tnawleys and a sprained ancle. The betting, however, was rather brisk, at S and 6 bobs to four ; and lota of Army fret, laid in small quanti ties, among the kid4ygr.ionts and sosll Jartrys, depended upon this event. The lads of the pantry were all alive upon the sub ject, and the whole fraternity of sarrants felt for the honour of their calling, and anxious for their hero to prove triumphant. In the course of 45 minutes, however, the Kaight of the Rainbute was most severely punishiv/ and defeated by the superior scions . of his opponent ; his nab exhibited more colours than his coat, and he had no chance whatever. lie was the stronger man of the two, and had the best of the throwing ; but as to making any good hits it was out of the question, as he was quite a no. vice. It occupied eighteen rounds. " The Livery" left the scene of action rather chop-fallen; observing, they h4tl been decoyed out upon a bad Sad; and the poor Knight was taken Lome a very pretty picture to decorate the establishment of his master ! The Court Mourning finally terminated yesterday, the last official notice being that the Court go out of mourning this day. Mr. AUSTIN, who lately arrived with Lord and Lady Hoop, and Lady ANNE HAMILTON, from the Continent, has taken up his residence at the late QUEEN'S house, in South Audley-street. Thursday night last, Miss HEATH, governess in the family of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, died suddenly at Cluniber, his Grace's seat. After passing the even ing in higher spirits than usual, and retiring to her room at eleven o'clock, she was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and expired in a feW seconds, in the arms ola female domestic. Last night two corn-porters, father and son-in-law, having some words at the house of Mr. May, the Three Tuns, Back -street, Horsleydown, the former, on quitting the room, was followed by his son-in-law, who gave him so severe a blow on the head, as to kill him on the spot. The offender was immediately taken into custody. The Coroner's Inquest will sit • on the body this afternoon. Wednesday senilight, Lady BARKER, while riding with some Ladies in her carriage, near Hove, met with an alarming accident. The coach was over turned, and her Ladyship, as well as the other Ladies, were severely bruised. Mrs. COUTTS, who had been for a ride, and was returning to Brighton, happened to pass by at the moment in her carriage, and under. took to send the party a coach from an inn at Brighton, to convey them home. With her usual kindness, however, Mrs. COUTTS did not wait while a vehicle could be procured, but sent her own chariot for the purpose. No serious effects have resulted from the accident. A very serious accident occurred on Saturday, in Norwich : a Gentleman driving a phaeton, in which were Mr. CRAWCUR, a Lady, and another Gentleman, over the Castle Meadows, the horses took fright and ran away, when Mr. CRAWCUR and the other Gen tleman jumped out, and both if them had the mis fortune to break their legs ; Mr. CRAWCUR in so shock ing a manner, that he was obliged to undergo im mediate amputation. The driver and the Lady kept their seats, and received no injury. The horses were stopped near St. Augustine's-gate. Sunday last, the mail from Liverpool to Manches ter was upset at Eccles, in turning from the old into the new road, and the coachman, John Dixon, who formeily kept a public-house at the same place, was thrown with great violence from the box, which broke his leg, and shattered his knee almost to pieces. The guard and passengers escaped with little injury. Sunday evening last, as a post•boy was attempting to return over the IJlverston Sands with a chaise and pair, he from sonic unknown cause, missed the usual track ; the tide flowed in upon them, when the driver and a sailor (who was inside the chaise), with both the horses, were drowned. Thursday se'nnight, tile hop-houses, sir in number, belonging to J. WILLS, Esq. at Brenchley, were buciat to the ground. The fire originated from a quantity of leased 11 het being placed round the hearth to dry, to which some of the si,atks communicated. The body of Mr. MACKENZIE, Master of the Julia, .a vessel trading between Newcastle and Perth, was found on the shore of the river Tyne, near St. Pe ter's Quay, apparently having been drowned. The circumstance, however, of the hat, coat, waist coat, and boots of the deceased being mi , sing, and his head much injured, tendered the cause of his death doubtful. A Coroner's Laittest was on Mon day held on the body, when the Jrry returned the following verdict:—" Found drowned, but with marks of suspicion of having received some violence from a person or persons unknown." A lad of the name of Barnet, about 16, belonging to the Bri tish Union, of North Shields, fen from the vessel, off Gravesend, on the 15th in,t. and broke both his legs and thighs. H a was a quarter of an hour in the water before he was ',LAW up.
