MubLezt reported to the nseetingliat a Committee of the city Deputation had met, and con suited with a Committee of the county Gentlemen, who entered at once into their views as to the arrange- ; ment proposed, for which arrangement we refer our readers to our advertising columns. • Mr. Levisay stated, that he was present when his Majesty landed at the pier at Ilowth ; Mr. Levisay spoke in hilth terms of the affability of his Majesty to hose around him; the word entject, he said, never esclred from his lips, but be emphatically termed them his fridtfrirstfie!!!

His Majesty further said, that it was his intention to hold his Court every third year in Dublin!!! !!! This statement was received with accla mation, which was continued for some time. At the conclusion of the Meeting, Mr. SEI'ON was called to the Chair, when the particular and waked thanks of the Meeting were moved to Alderman Sum', for Isis very proper conduct in the Chair, and for his invaluable exertions and mireniitting attendance throughout their various Meetings. This Resolution was carried by acclamation. Alderman SMITH returned thanks. The Meeting then adjourned until II o'clock this slay . DUBLIN, AVG. 17. Yesterday, an Adjourned Meeting of the Committee of the Inhabitants and llosisehohlers of the City, was held at the Royal Exchange. At eleven o'clock, Mr. St moan took the Chair. Mr. RNess 111.DoNsm.t. moved, that a LEsplitation should be appointed to wait on Lord Sidmouth, for the purpose of ascertaining the manner in which it would be most agreeable to his Majesty to receive the Address. This resolution having been carried, Sir Thomas Esisionde, Mr. William Humphries, Mr. Cum mins, and the Secretary, were named on the Deputa tion. A resolution was then adopted, that the Depu • Winn should proceed forthwith to Lord Sidnsouth, at the Castle; 'when the Gentlemen named departed for the pnruose, and returned in the course of twenty ,minutes, s•atipg that his Lordship was in the Park. . It was then resolved, that the Beincation shouts, pro tefid to the Park, and the Meeting adjourned until three o'cle:k to receive! their report. At the appointed hour, Mr. took the . Chair. • Mr. Cc statists reported, that the Deputation had waited on Lord Sidmontli, at the Phcenix Park, :stud' had been most graciously received by his Lord ship. Sir Thomas Esmonde stated the nature of the liminess for which they hail been deputed, and Lord Sidmoutli, in reply, said that the approved tootle of presenting the Address would be at the Levet, -on Monday. His Lordship further stated, that the King would leave the Park precisely at twelve to-morrow, (this day) to join the Procession. — If the day was fine, his Majesty would proceed in an open ce.rriarre,—(llear, hear,) as lie was most anx ious that he should see his suhjects, and that his sub jects should see him !!! !!! !!! Lord Sidmouth said also, that his Majesty was highly pleased with the 1 anima of sentiment that pervaded all classes of the people in this country, as it served to strengthen the Empire at large. His Lordship mentioned, that his Majesty would appear on horseback at the Review in the Park on Saturday, and also, that lie would honour the Theatre with his presence in the course of next week.

The Meeting then adjourned. ' The following entry was made on Saturday in the books at Lloyd's:— . By* letter from Leghorn of the 14th inst. we learn ; that the Tarkish ship, Lava Solissan, belonging to the Captai sof the port of Alexandria, on her return from Leg horn, has been taken off Cape Passer°, and arrived at Idra, and converted into a fire ship. The Turks were thrown into the sea, the tireeks alleging that their countrymen met the same fate at Constantinople. It is *stated ifsat font othir ships belonging to the Pacha of Egypt hare been captured, and carried into Ides." A-bankrupt of Birmingham, not appearing on Sa turday week to undergo his lasi examination, the Comusis.ismers were obliged to sit iota after mid night, whets ho was proclaimed by the Messenger, on the steps of the Hotel.

LOSS OF THE MOIRA PACKET'• • [FROM THE LIVERPOOL mairrity We have little to add to the catalogue of suffering which we recorded last week. The subsequent accounts, taken as our own from gentlemen who survived, de not materially differ from that which we furnished. 'One gentleman say, " When the life-boat came, some manly voice cried Let no man get into her till .tbe women are safe.' But, alas! the women were all at IMAN: the bottom of the shrouds and under them, and, con- sequently, the whole length of the vessel's mast from the life-boat, and, exhausted as they were, unable to reach ber, one only, I believe, was saved in Ler. While the life-boat was in view, several pas.engers, already weak and insensible,dropped from their hold and drifted in ; among the number 1 perceived the unfortunate captain, who I thought the author of at our suffer• ings, lam persuaded every person forgave. Several women were washed off about the time time ; the dyirg shreeks of these poor creatures were truly ter rific. Another boat now appeared in view, and shortly ! after came up ; these were regular traders in saving ' lives, and made their bargains accordingly I" refusing an offer of twenty guineas to take only the women, who were then all safe. Some one has taken the trauble to contradict our report that the captain was among the first - who perished : but it, notwith standing, appears he was not lost before one of the women. A second boat bargained in the like manner, refusing to take any but those who paid largely. A fourth boat behaved with becoming humanity, and saved many. The numbers lost are still estimated at about fifty. We mentioned last week " if we were to credit re port, some of the inhabitants of Wallasey were engaged in stripping• a• d plundering the dead bodies cast up." The Rev. Augustus Campbell, rector of Wallasey, has in consequence published an elaborate exculpation of his parishioners ; as if we had actually asserted the cir cumstance as a fact. Our assertion rested on the re ports of several of the survivors, who went to Wallasey on the same morning to recover their baggage ; and we conceited it our duty to publish the report, as Inch to give the Farties an opportunity of contradiction. We grant that oar informants may have mistaken others for Wallasey men, whose " good faith and disinterest edness" we are happy to learn : for we have still some recollection of the wreck of the schooner Mary and lietsey, and the :motility of the wreckers in that neighbourhood on that occasion, at Mock-peg , ar, when they preferred plundering the wreck and carrying off bags of potatoes. to rescuisse the dying, and housing the dead. This happened in the neighbourhood of Wallasey, to which several of the bodies were after wards cons-es-ell : and no one was hold enough to c.m tradict the damning statement, when the corroborating parties were present. On that occasion no humanity was shown to the drooping survivors by any one, hat by the benevolent Mrs. Woody and her servants, who to their eternal honour recruited and cherished them. And shall we be blamed for merely publishing the above report ? We have pleasure in learning the good conduct of the persons in question, from this gentle man's undisputed authority-, anti that no bodies were stripped ; but there are points on which his " ppshp hilities and beliefs" are not discreetly agnify contradiction of our report, and evince a spirit which our remarks did not call for. We are happy to add, that respectable testimony of Mr. D'Agnilar (who has published a letter on the subject) to others, that the unfortunate Captain of the Moira was a skilful commander and a favourite. His conduct on that day is confirmed, and we are somewhat astonished that the testimony of one of the crew (who were generally under a similar charge) should have been resorted to when so many intelligent gentlemen were on board, who had their eyes about thens. The Captain we understand was an affectionate father, and in consequence of the birth of a first son, had indulged rather freely in conviviality. The survivors w•e trust in the true spirit of Chrif.tianity, will abide by the precept, " de mortssis nit nisi lonton." We have just received a statement, signed by two individuals. whose names we suppress, as their in sertion would subject us to the advertisement duty. It may be seen, however, at our office. In justice to the crew, We feel ourselves bound to give publi city to the certificate, without pledging ourselves on the subject. " Having been called upon to contradict the state ment that appeared in the newspapers, saying that the crew of the Moira Packet were in a state of intoxi cation, we have no hesitation in stating, that, to our knowledge there was not one of them had any sign of liquor. excepting the captain and mate; and to this we are ready, for the sake of justice to all parties] to give our testimony. either public or private." LIVERPOOL, Auo. 16.—We have just been favoured with the following : " The remains of Mrs. Yates, of Fleet-street, Lon don. were this day interred at Trinity Church: ibis lady was one of the unfortunate victims who perished on board the Moira. TAe Lirerpool Courier states the body of her young female companion, Miss Mims Milner, to have been also found. This is a mistake ; her friends from London having, up to this mo ment, not had the consolation to find her remains." Mr. Alderman Wood, it appears, from a letter dated the 18th inst. addressed by him to the Editor of a Morning paper, was then at Harwich, waiting for the packet at Cuxhaven, hoping to reach Brunswick in time to fol low to the grave the remains of our neglected and in- Jared Queen. Some difference, it also appears, had arisen between the Aldetratan and Dr. Lushington, in conee-1 (pence of the latter conceiving that none bat her Ma.. jesty's Household would be allowed to attend the fano., ral, and of the former declining to be considered in that character, as not having any specific appointmeat. The Alderman's appearance in the procession was, it seems, accidental. " 1 provided myself." says he, " with a mussing coach, scarf, and hatband ; but on the morning of the funeral, a coach having become vs colt, Mr. Bailey called my tame, and I followed the Hsocators. Arrived at Harwich, I was given to us demised that had the Executors even here returned. my name for embarkation, which Dr. Leshingtoa re• lased to do, the tiovernmeat officers would have made so objection, as several persons were allowed who were not of the Household. I felt this •••• newt severely ; ior, on many accounts, 1 had to meet it from such a quatter." TESTIMON IES OF Rh.... MORI - OF HER LAII There was no occasion for the Lill Marshal to issue his notice for a General mourning. The appearance of the metropolis yesterday proved Low completely the inhabitants bad prepared to anticipate the order. Scarce a respectable or decent family, or indii hival were to be seen, who did not indicate by their sable dress the sad regret they felt The greatest proportion of the Churches b:o were hung • with black, in testimony of respect for tie memory of her late Majesty, and appropriate sertnoi,s werepreached on the occasion. We ms,y enumerate the Royal Chapel, St. James's ; the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, St. Paul's Covent-garden ; St. Martin's in the Field ; St. (ieorge's, Hanover-square ; St. George's, Bloomsbury; St. Giles's in the Fields; St. Anne's, Soho; St. Margaret's, Westminster; St. John's, Westminster; South Autlley-street Chapel ; Portland Chapel ; Fitzroy Chapel ; Glary-le-bone new chard. ; Paddington Church; Ilammeremith Church ; Pancras Church ; Islington Chapel; Peutiini ilk Chapel; Claremont Chapel ; Grosvenor Cli.yel ; Gray's-inn Chapel ; St. James's, Clerkenwell ; St. Luke's, tild-street ; St. Leonard's, Slicireditch ; St. Mary's., Whitechapel; St. Catherine's ; St. Botolph, Aldgate ; Bishopsgate church; Allhallows, London Wall ; the suited parishes of St. hlagnus the Martyr and St. Margatet. New Fish-street; St. Giles's, without Crip _o.ol4 ark* Church, Newgate-street ; St. Sepuf; ebre; St. Bride's, Ficet•street; St. Dunstan's, Fleet 'street; St. Mary; St. Andrew's, IlolLorn. and many others of which we have heard accounts. St. Clement Dane's and St. Catherine's were the only exceptions in the list we have seer. The mournful calamity of the demise of the Queen I has drawn forth manifestations of Aticere and heartfelt I sorrow from the inhabitants of the town of Horsham. Immediately on the melancholy intelligence reaching that town, the generality of the inhabitants partially closed their shop windows, and on every subsequent day this mark of respect was 'hen n. Oa Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (being the days of the re moval of her Majesty's remains) these demonstrations of sorrowful regard incrlased, anti almost every house exhibited the same sombre appearance; throughout each of these days the church bell tolled at intervals, anti on Wednesday the Church-rattlers issued a notice that Divine Service would he per:invited, and a sermon preached at the church at 7 o'clock on Thursday even ing ; and requesting the inhabitants to close their shops at 5 o'clock. le consequence of this notification, those who had not previously paid any marked tribute of respect left part of their shuters up on Thursday I morning, and on this day not a single shop in the town was to be seen (with the exception of one or two of the Society of Friends) wholly open. At five o'clock in the evening the whole town assumed the appearance of a Sabbath ; the bells rang a muffled pral, which continued till the hour of Divine Service (seven o'clock) arrived. A vast concourse of the in habitants, iucludfng also numerous bodies, from the adjacent country, were then seen moving in a direction to the parish Church. the greater part of whom were habitell in deep mourning, and even these whose li mited means would not afford them every desired ap did ass appear without some seevuwfut emb em, such as rihands, neck-kerchiefs, &c. de noting inward grief. The church was lighted throughout exactly in the same manner as on the de mise of their l.te Majesties and the Princess Char lotte. The Rev. Thomas Williams, the Curate, per formed Divine Service, and introduced very oppor tunely the solemn service used at the burial of the dead. The choir sung two Anthems, one from the 15th chap. Ist Corinthians, anti the other front the Ilith Psalm, " I have set Hod always before me."—The Rev. Clergyman delivered a very impres sive and appropriate discourse on the occasion, from the Ist Ecclesiastics ver. 2, " All is vanity."—a discourse which must have made its way to the heart of every true Christian present—many were the eyes suffused u nth tears, and at one period the Reverend Gentleman himself WAS almost over powered by his feeling. The church, which is large, was crowded in every part, and numbers could not olt• tain a seat, although every private pew was thrown open. The awful appearance of the sacred edifice added to the solemnity of the occasion, and could not but inspire the congregation generally, with most se rious reflections ow the transitory enjoyments of hu man life, and impress every mind with reliAious awe, teaching them to bow with divine resignation to the in scrutable dispensations of an all-wise and unerring Providence. TARMOUTLI, AUG. 16.—The death of her Majesty was received here on Thursday by the Mail. Flags were immediately hoisted half-.vast, at the Hall, Cus tom-bouse, and ships in the harbour anti reads, and the bells toll two hours each day till tier Majesty's fu neral is over. The great town bell at Lewes tolled nearly the whole depot Tuesday and Wednesday, and the tradesmens' shops is that town, from the day on which her Ma jesty died, were i;enerally half closed. On Tuesday last there was not a single shop in Chi chester but that was either in part, or entirely closed. —The race-ball and supper were put off, and there was no performance at the theatre, although a notice had been issued for a play under the patronage of the stewards.—The different parish bells were tolled during the day, which, with the gloom of the weather, cast a deep melancholy over the city. On the intelligence of the death of the Queen reaching Nottingham on Thuretlay week, a meetiog of the gentlemen of the Bur took place, at which an ass *Woos resolution was passed, requesting Mr. Denims to retain ou the Circuit the precedency be enjoyed as Solicitor General to her Majesty.

Tus Srot,Esi CRILDREN.—In consequence of the letter received by Mr. Ilurrell, the stepfat! er of th.t children, from the Rev. Dr. Thomas, at Hillesdort, saying that be hail committed Dr. Probits, alias Wil liams, te.c. &c. to Leicester Gaol, and had taken th.t two children under his protection, Mr. Ilurrell, Tuesday morning, set out on his journey, and mallet . Billesdon the same night, at a late hour ; he was speechless with joy at again seeing the little ones— they embraced each other in tears. Next morning this :• little girl was sent to London by the Leicester ouch, Dr. Thomas humanely defraying the expenses. The father and his little boy were of necessity compelled to walk, anal arrived in London on Thursday night, about eleven o'cloc'i, much fatigued. The impostor . remains in Leicester Gaol, and Dr. Thomas expresses his determination to advertise him in all the provinciiil papers, for the purpos► of bringing forward the nume rous persons who have been defrauded by bis vile ma chinations, and who may prosecute him, otherwise lie must be discharged under the Vagrant Act, on which lie now stands committed, as the poor parents are .•I reduced that they cannot afford to prosecute him, al though they wish it.
