THE KING. i • After all that ba be t7;;;ere ted in the Ministerial open re specting his Majesty's not visiting say of the L of ts on tbe Continent, The Courier of Saturday calm ing states, that it is his Majesty's intention to pay a s i s it to the King of France. His most Christian Ma-, kap acc ording to the same authority , has e arnestl y ' T - tiara t e d it, and the King will occupy the Palais which has been fitted up for his reception. 1. co nfirmation of the above, The Meriting Post of t hi s goy has the following paragraph Hi s Majesty certainly visits Paris. A courier at riabl on Saturday last, from Sir Charles Stuart, with s kate for the Lady Elizabeth. Her Ladyship being so n is Pablo, on a visit to the Lord Lieutenant, the onsweger proceeded thither. The dispatch contained a m asons to meet our Sovereign the first week in D e cember, in that capital. la further corroboration of this, it is stated that a now in Scotland, bat been also summon - Noble Earl , ea to proceed to Paris about that period." It sill be recollected that his Britannic Majesty did not, in his journey to Hanover, pass through the states o f Hesse Cassel, on account, it was reported, of a misunderstanding between the Duke of Cambridge stol the Elector. In s recent Court paragraph. how •eree, we find it stated, that his Royal Highness the Elector of Hesse Cassel has sent his Great Chamber- Lin, Baron Bardeleben, together with Baron Lsaase ( forff, his Royal Highness's resident Minister at the British Court, to Hanover, to congratulate his Majesty tie King of England, on his arrival in his Uermao dominions. ELFCTION 0/ MAYOII orLWitiroot..--On Thurs day last the Election of Mayor for the Borough of Liverpool came. on, when Richard Bailin, Esq. was proposed by Sir John Tobin, and seconded by John Wright, Esq.; and Wm. Molyneux, Esq. was pro posed by J. B. Hollinshead, Esq. and seconded by Adam Lodge, Esq. The polling for the two candidates immediately commenced with great spirit, and although from the peculiar division of parties in the contest, there was not any violent enthusiasm visible ; yet the bustle between the basting. and the tally rooms, the bands of music playing and the colours flying,occasioned she struggle to wear much of the appearance of a ge ser...l election. Both parties seemed full of strength, and at twelve o'clock at night, when the Court ad journed till this morning, no fewer than 1400 men bad voted, there being Fos Mr. Bailin, 700—For Mr. Molyneux, 700. Mr. Molyneux it is understood is a thorough going member of the ultra Canning party, and is supported chiefly by those whose politics are of the highest court Inoue. Mr, Ballin's politics it seems, are those of the out fashioned town school, favourable to ministers of renter, as General Ooscoyne is, bat without that 'Wive interference, interested or otherwise, in mere party tactics or political intrigue. which distinguishes to) many of the newer friends to the present systetn. The daughter of Joseph Bonaparte sailed last week from the river for Philadelphia; she intends to reside with her father. Doctor Stokoe, formerly in our navy, who was the service owing to some cabal at St. 11 lens, accompanied the young lady to America. ___ - Thera— —..--- tics% the Ministerial journals promnlgated a story of Napolee.a's having selected St. Helena for the place of his interment. We, however, are enabled to state, from the best authority, that it is a gross fabrication. The fact is, that Counts Bertrand and Montholon, finding that their demands to the Oovernor that his re mains should be removed to Europe for burial, accord ing to his will, were unavailing and fruitless, desig ned a spot which Napoleon seemed to have had most plennue in frequenting, prior to the restrictions ins posed by Sir Hudson Lowe, by which be was only per. milted to walk or ride upon the high road, and was prohibited from entering into houses or even speak tag to persona whom he might casually encounter. Napoleon's body was buried on the island, - here be died, in consequence of an order of the British tlovern meat sent over in 1820. lirdi not the French nation, on some future day, demand the execution of Napo leon's testamentary desire ? The debt says to the King of England, "Thou shalt leper g o to war sijraia. as long as I am in existence. —(Co6l,ett's Ireekiy Register.) An Ambassador at our Court, it is said, ordered wino from his country, a; for his own use, to the awake of 90001. sterling. When he went away alma two months ago, they were sold by public nation. The duty not having been paid, his Excel knee's profits must have been large. This, however, 'produced a circular from our government, seat last week, to all the Ambassadors residing here, to inform them, " that whenever they sell their wine on leaving this country, they will be so good as to gin the in formation to the Board of Excise, who will pay them the original. coot." By this measure the Revenue will so longer be the loser by such sales. .

By abuts from the Limerick papers, in the Dublin Morning Poet of Friday ar.d Saturday last, we have received details relative to the murder of the late Major Going. Mr. Going, it appears, on leaving Rathkeale, took a pair of pistols in his coat-pocket; bat he was robbed of the pistols, al• though a considerable sum in Bank of Ireland notes was• in his pockets untouched. The particulars of his assassination were brought on Sunday night to Limerick by three of the mounted police, who were tired on from behind a hedge at Barneycoyle, near the bOtinis of the liberties of the city. After the murder was effected, it is stated, there was a joyous shout through the county, which re-echoed from place to place; lighted heaps of straw also were at night exhibited on the different bilk, in triumph of the ac complishment of this horrid deed. The cause given for the murder of Mr. Going is, the hur ried burial of those persons who were lately shot by the police near Askeaton. On the 16th the remains of Mr. G. were interred at Nenagh, attend ed by a numerous and respectable assemblage of gen tlemen, but ander military escort. The outrages con tinue through the County with unabated violence. — On Monday one of the Adair corps of yeomanry was murdered, and another man at Kiblimo was so beaten that his life is dispsired of. On Wednesday a person of some respeetability, of the name of Spar ling, was shot at from a blunderbuss by one of a gang of armed banditti, as he was riding between Ash grove to Newcastle, and wounded so desperately that no hope was entertained of his recovery. TELEGRAPHIC Poorr.—A grand mercantile project is now in contemplation at Paris—no less than the es tablishment of lines of telegraphs from that capital to all the priocipel sea ports, for the rapid communica tion of mercantile intelligence by night, as well as by day ; the charge to he regulated by a Twit', and varying according- to the di.tance, and the length of the dispatch. Experiments have already been made, and it is ascertained that an arrival at Bordeaux might be made known at Paris in the space of live minutes. It is mentioned, that a Company of Merchants ander , takes to advance all the expenses necessary for this vast establishment, if Government will give it its sanction.—(Peris paper.) AsTeortoutcat. Xtyricr--The two Planets Jupiter and Saturn, the largest in our system, occupy at pre sent so conspicuous a situation in the evening skies, as to atttact very g, eneral notice. The phcenomena of their motions fur the last six months of this year, are extremely curious. The two planets having slowly ap proximated from the beginning of the year, were in conjunction on the 19th of J ttne ; the distance of their centres being then equal to the difference of their !at titudes, that is, one degree, ten minutes. They then gradually separated until 31st of August, when their distance was three degrees, fifty-five minutes. Since that period, the motion of Saturn becoming greater than that of Jupiter, the distance of the two has diminished, and at present (22nd of October) is two degrees, fifteen minutes. They will continue to approach until the 16th December, when the longi tude of Saturn will be lest thainbat of J niter: . by only twenty-one minutes, and the distance of their centres, one degree, eighteen minutes. All this ap parent irregularity arises from the uniformly progres sive motion of the two planets in their respective or bits, combined with that of the earth. After all, the *prase of the two celestial objects is only apparent ; for in reality, the distance of Saturn from our globe is twice as great as that of Jupiter. Since the dia -1 meter of the field of a day and night glass is com mittaly about a degree and a half, it follows from what has been before stated, that with such an instru ment, both planets may be seen at the same moment. for several days preceding and following the time of their nearest approach. To an observer furnished with a good telescope of the kind already mentioned. not only the four satellites of Jupiter, but the belts surrounding his body, with the beautiful ring of Sa wa, and the largest of his satellites. will be distinctly visible. The above mentioned interesting pitons°. mena occur only once in about 20 years ; and it is 'probable that no person sow living will ever he hold a conjunction of the two planets under sub favourable circumstances, with respect to the time of the year, and place in the Heavens, as those which now invite oar attention. Bars.—Our cruel mode of taking honey by de stroying the innocent and somewhat beautiful insects, that produce it, can no longer be defended by the plea of necessity. A late traveller is the northern part of India describes the following easy method, by which the honey-gatherers tier b effect their purpose. An hollow-tree, or an earthen-pot, is built into the wall of a house, or oat-horse, swish apertures externally, through which the bees enter and go out. The isternal mid of this hive can be opened, or shut, at pleasure by various simple contrivances; a sliding door i 3 one. In the centre of the hive there is a valve. When the hive is fill &ad the honey is tee be taken, a great noise is made at the inner extremity. This drives the bees out ; the valve is then closed, and the honey is taken out by the sliding door. The superior part of our readers will doubtless take a pleasure in communicating this easy mode of avoiding cruelty to those, whom the information might nut otherwise reach. John Winslade, of Thurloxt•a; farrier. lately ex tracted a wen front the throat - of an ox. belonging to Mr. Lot Lovelace, of West Monektos. which weight d 4 ounces. The wen. was formed full two feet down the throat. and was removed by the operator thrusting down his um to that extent, and cutting it out. Axauxo In Heatrrom Deer.—On Thursday last, upwards.vll4oo dozen of fine roach were caught in the above deep; several of the fish weighed a pound and a half each. The oldest fishermen on the Thames does not recollect any thing like it before in angling. It was one of the lines' day's sport ever known ; and the fishertnen attending on the gentlemen could not take the fish off the hooks fast enough. On We'doesday week.

THE STATESMA ..~:,. fp THE EDITOR — OP TM!! uternsmAlv, Kent-street, Oct.% IS2I. am joined by my.neighhours, and every lover of British jastice in the United Kingdom. in offering you our grateful acknowledgments, for your anxious endeavours to promote the constitutional interest of the people, and your watchfulness of their most in- retrace enemies. •11 also gives me pleasure to state to you, that the eollectioi of small • subscriptions for Sir R. Wilson, which I so steauonsly recommended in my first letter, is going on with all possible celerity. :tinny thanks to you, Mr. STATESMAN, for your able and benevolent assistance, which I sincerely hope will never be ft t zotten. The pennies, the sixpences, the shillings, and the sovereigns are flying—l mean the golden sovereigns, which are the only sove reigns (save our own) worth a groat. Should we not come forward immediately, don't suppose it will arise from a want of patriotic energy; the contrary is the fart I assure you; we are all active in our little way; there is scarce a public house of any character, where subscrip tion lists are not opened for their gallant and abused friend, Sir Robert IVilsoi, whose case has shewn one of the most glaring absurdities that could possibly ex ist under the prerogative which was instituted for the purpose, of benevolence and mercy, instead of op pression. In my letter of Saturday, the 13th, (see Tux SATEVAN of that evening,) I convicted the ad viseraof the aerations measure, from the words of their men mouths through the late King. I quoted the authority of that great scholar and constitutional Member of Parliament, the late General Burgoyne, and that great legal opinion, Sir Vicary Hibbs, on the in vestigation of the celebrated Mary :lime Clark's agency in the year ISM', before the House of Com mons ; I also gave the opinion of that immortal lu minary of constitutional law, Sir Edward Coke. Thus shelving that the prerogative could not be exer t cised legally without trial or enquiry. Under my lash the hirelings writhed, they became gagged, until reminded of their defeat, by their worthless em ployers. They have lately attempted to shake off the drowsy inebriation, and stagger to the subject, in a state of mental stupefaction. They go round the pre mises, and round the premises, still, they are afraid to touch the premises : they wander for a subject, blind folded, anti, like children in blindrnan's buff; they try to grapple at the first thing that approaches them. Poor blind wretches, they try to apologise for their worthless employers, by sousing them in the kennel, to their great, their unspeakable misfortune. The letter of the Connnantler-in-Chief to Sir Robert Wit ' son, ender date of the 2•lth of January, ISIS, has ap peared, where he (Sir R.) was loaded with the lanrelsof military approbation and Royal honors. His Royal [lightness apologised to Sir Robert for not having it in his power to convey to him the Order of the Bath, for his zealous and distinguished terriers. lint that, as he (Sir R.) has been honoured by the Orders and distinction of all the fieriign armies lie screed with, and so eminently benejitti d. these honours may for a time compensate him aid his friends. The concluding sentence of his Royal Highness's letter rues thus, ! how only to add, that, von future occasions, 1 l toe 61ppy is king _your . stgame.midas ;µe. rinse rgenee consideration, sot only fbr PRO FESSIONAL DISTINCTION, but as a candidate for'[ HECOIIMANDofeCAVALRY 11E01 M ENT." This Is most certainly an undisgnieed acknowledgment of great military consequence. Nose, Mr. STATVAIMAN, let me go a little into the merits of those professions of kindness and reward to Sir Robert Wilson. No doubt his Royal Highness did bring his name before the King when Prince Regent ; he so far kept his word. He leas since been reemtmended to the King, hut how? Not as an officer to he rewarded for professional distinction; not u a candidate for Me conunand of a cavalry regiment, but to be dietnissed without trial or inquiry, like the most degraded servant.— Did ever Sir Robert IVilson eeffer his name to be handle.' about as Grand.3laster of the Orange wrecker*? Did Sir Robert Wilson ever disgrace the British army by ignorance and incapacity? I say never. Let every man who wears a red coat lay his hand npon his heart and say the same. After such samples of Royal approbation, after !etch a series of glorious achieve. ments, the monitors of a Bridal) King would advise the dismissal of such a General without giving a pub lic cause to the army, or the people. This, one might he apt to call Constantinople tactics; this is a sam ple of Ministerial littleness. Where is the hotly of men, except the Orange wreckers, the Clang at the House of ill fame, or the Aldermen of Skinner's Alley. who would render their Royal Master such an and inked for violence by such advice! Bat what oonld be expected from the eulogists of M.nchister What could be expected, after the dismissal of that able Magistrate, Sir Robert Baker I Because he would not sanction, by his authority, what his soul abhorred, he because unworthy of she situation he filled with so mach credit to himself. Notwithstand ing all these attempts at coercion, while we have life we have her, and that your exertions, Mr. BTATEERAN, may have the desired effect, and meet their due retitled, is the heartfelt wish of A POOR MAN IN MR BOROUGH. It is in emtemplatime-to erect an equestrian statute of the late King in the centre of the Itegent-circus, in Oxford-street. The proposal abolition of the establishment at Deptford Dock -yard, it is now laid, will not take place, bat that it will remain as a depot for naval stores. By mesas of an invention of Mr. W. Hooke'', mas• ter shipwright's aeristant at Woolwich Dock-yard, a man is enablrd to.work under water, sad the .dange rous aractice of heeling ships hitherto practised is rendered unnecessary. The water pipe and cock (a considerabla distance under water), of his Majesty's ship Leven, kiln it Woolwich, was by this contrivance shifted ors Wednesday. The worlinsm began on Friday to lay down the pipes in St. James's-park, for the purpose of lighting the Mall with 'gas. They coranwaced at the rasters esti, at the rear of Carlton-palace. The workoseis have begun to lay down the pipes, comareiteihg from the Trinity-bouse,.rosest the pos. terwrow, W the estroace of the Tower, in order that the *orb frostieststillart may be lighted with gam Wootbastlt. ism akemly begse to appear on the seats instral ilia* I a remashable sae one was shot yessulitfornosillelat; trf Mr. T. Stocker, in the neigh hoorliood of Sithosellk LEWES, OClbßin 20. t e r Last sforulay night the, peace of our town was sadly disturbed, through the imprudent if not highly etalpibte conduct of some persons unknown, who to expose awl disgrace a certain master tradesman of this Boronolt, for pursuing the law with rigour against his apprentice, under a charge of alleged misitehavienr, paraded the streets with his effigy, highly mounted en a pole, and afterwards burnt the same before his house, amidst the apparent approval of hundreds of thoughtless men, wo men and boys, win, had assembled on the occasion.— But not satisfied with this, they proceeded to greater extremities, and with stones, stinibs, &c. made an attack on the front windows, which gave a serious turn to the tumultuous proceedings, and commanded the inter ference of a magistrate, T. R. Kemp, F'.,sq. anti our Con stables, who were commendably active in their entlea yours to disperse the rioters by persuasion; but this • failing, it was deemed necessary to read the Riot Act. which was accordingly done, and it bad the desired efs feet, but not till fifteen squares of glass in the upper windows had been shattered, and sonic marks of violence left on the doors and shutters of the shop. Four per sons were seized by the Constables and taken before the Magistrate, but in default of satisfactory identity, were soon afterwards liberated. Mr. Elldiick, one of the eons stables, in his endeavours to secure a man wimps he \ had ' observed very busy in the affair, was in the sctiffle forced or knocked down, whereby his leg was badly sprained, The Magistrates have had several sittings on the sub ject, but to what end we have not been advised. The above outrage was committed under the cover of darkness; and we are fully persuaded, had our town been well lighted up with gas, it would not hare hap pened, as in .hat case the fear of detection would have operated as a preventative, amt in all cases it is ow venally allowed, that prevention is preferable to pu nishment. At the General Sessions of the Peace for the Eastern Division of our County, the Grand Jury returned into Court a true bill erainst a person charred with a miss demeanour. in being concerned in the riot• here on last Mosolav night. The bill stands over till the next Sessions, at which the accused party will put in bail fur his appearance. An Hobs was observed roans' the Sun on Wednesday last, from Cliff-hill, near this town, which had a bean tiful appearance and was time,' aihnired. PRICE OP WHEAT IN PRANCI.—A respectable correspondent informs us, that at one of the largest monthly corn ntarkets in Picardy, last week, the very best seed Wheatsold at sixty francs (fifty shillings) tha 30111 b. French weight, which is ten francs, or Os. 4-i. more than the same kind of Wheat sold for at OA market, at this time last year. The public roads, in many parts of France are na ilergoing great improvements, and it appears, on Nl'Adltn's plan, as the materials, broken into smal pieces, are seen lying by the sides of the roads, as in England. We have it from good anthority. that 5,3001. was ....saassivottatalet Citroens Hesaci - Feettintotnitrlttn'titr, Th* last year, fur duties on eggs, which pay tenpenee f.r every 120 imported ; consegnently, 15,264,000 m•:'t have been landed at that port, during the twelr. mouths. It is singular, ha: true, that many of t'• eggs imported into this part of the conntry, are P., i retail in London, at eighteen and twenty for a s2Fi'•. ling, while the importer', for what they sell on vie roast, demand eight shillings per hundred. This spring a Heligoland Bean was aceidenla'ly sown in a• garden at Bawhurgh , which produced • t very stout stem, 7 ft. 8 inches in height, ana had 1.14 pods, 124 of which contained 410 beans ; 24 of Cie pods were shelled on the ground or lost, so that t'.o produce may be calculated at 480, at least measnriN; half a pint.

It weighed full nine pounds four ounce. , and a half. FM0141101;5 CARROT.TanIIt week Mr. Geo. Booth, gardener, Mansfield, drew from his garden a carrot of the following extraordinary weight and dimensions: IVeight six pounds, and within four inches of the top (that not being the extremity of the girth), it measured sixteen inches ! It consists of six separate brant-heg, the centre one in particniar being cousiderabty larger than any carrot almost ever seen. Coax Excuastne, Oct. ft—Notwithstatiding the extraordinary large supplies of wheat during the last four weeks, and the impossibility of effecting sales of any but the finest samples, there is no cessation of ar rivals, having bad upwards of 17,600 quarters fresh in last week, and a eon4iderable supply this morning fro:n ' Rsaex, Resit and Suffolk, for which there is bat little demand. Prime dry samples obtained last Monday's prices, but all other sorts were exceedingly heoy, and although offered from 2s. to 3s. per qwarzer.• lower, yet it mould not be pt off at that abatement; the quantity now bete being so immensely gust, and the demand so killing, the major part mist remain on hand some time, as the constaumation quite inadequate to take it off.—Barley isle. pt , ,,it4rter lower than on this day week, bat Is. per qaarter higher than on Wednesday.—Beans and Oats are 2s. pet quart.!r cheaper, and extremely dull sale at that abatement.— I Peas and other articles there is no alteration.
