We rejoice to state, that his Majesty is so completely recovered from his recent severe indisposition, as to be able to join his anal society at dinner. His Majesty has resumed his intention of taking marine excursions in the neighbourhood of the Isle of Wight, but the precise period is not yet determined.—(. l foroing Herald.) Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester visited the King. The Lord Chancellor had an audience of his Majesty yesterday. • Saturday the King received a visit from the Duke of York. Yesterday, at three o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of York and snite, went to view the Exhibition at Somerset House. His Royal Highness was received by Sir Thomas Lawrence, the President of the Royal Academy, and Mr. Howard, the Secretary, who conducted Ids Royal Highness over the different rooms set apart for tire display of the different classes of the Arts which oc cupied the attendance of the Royal Dnke tiil near live o'clock; and with which his Royal Highness was pleased to express himself highly delighted. At the Eton Montero, on Tuesday last, we are in formed that a plea ing rencootre took place between the two great political opponents, Messrs. Canning and liroegham, who met in the school-yard, and shook lands in the most cordial manner. this conciliatory interview, however, on the day before the resumption of business at St. Stephen's, re..ioded oar informant of Golinan's lines, which, by the by, were probably, at the very moment, being Inure strikingly illustrated by two other renowned opponents : " Who first shake bands before they box, Then give each other plagoy knocks; lYith all the love and fondness of a brother." (Bath Herald.) The Eton Anniversary Dinner; we understand, was • nuineron-ly attended on Saturday than for many years. There were about 400 persons present. Among the speakers were Lord Bathurst, Mr. Canning, the Duke of 2.urtlium's rlantl, the Provost, the Head Master, and Mr. Jcstice Bailey. It was facetiously remarked that, in all pronability, there were not more then forty out of the 400 who boil not at one period or other. received corporeal correction from either the late or the present Mead Master: At the Eton Montem the Collection amounted to 1002/. which Mr. Barnard receives, with the deduction of ex kisses. Many interesting occurrences are daily taking place in Spain, which from want of a regular supply of journals from that kingdom, and trout the suppression and misre presentation of frets in the French papers, must long • remain unknown to us. Of this we have received a proof in an article inserted in a paper this morning.— By the arrival of a gentleman yesterday from Cadiz, we learn that he was witness to the landing of four hundred prisoners there from Valencia. They formed part o Ultnarici's corps. and had been taken when he was de feated by the brave Valencians in his attack on thri city. They werein the most miserable condition, with. bats, shoes, or regular clothing, and seemed a wretched set of men. Two priests, also prisoners, marched at their head. A few days before, two French u•erehant vessels had been brought to Algeciras by Spa nish rruizers. The tinnier, from Bordeaux, arrived at Liverpool on Friday mornin g. She sailed on the 12th May, and brings aecouuts that, on the preceding day, 400 wounded French soldiers were brought into Bayonne, and that the. French people were every where petitioning for peace. Letters from Malta dated the 9th April, state, that the Governor and suite had left that island on the 4th for Naples. These advices also state, that it wasfeared that dreadful vbitstion, the plague, was making ravages at Alexandria, us two vessels hsti arrived from thence, the cress of u hich, it was supposed, were labouring under that infection. We have received Brussels Papers to Friday. An ar ticle dated Trieste, May 9. says: "We have news from Mores to the 26th April. The Beira. y of Greece has ceased, an ! the Government is in the literals of a'Congress of Deputies. After the solemn hotallation at Napoli di Romani, Maurocordato was elected President of the Congress to the great joy of the people. 'The Congress has confided to Colocononi the defence of the Mores, and has appointed Odysseus to the chief command in Thessaly and Bozzaria, to the same situation in Epirus and Ararnania. The state of affairs in the Peloponne-us is levroirable to the Insurgents. Extract of a letter from Corfu, dated April 20, 1823: " The Fniers that be' here have lately shewn them selves beret disposed towards the Greeks than they were same months since. They (tile Greeks) have now got the entire possession of the Mores, which they are at present well able to keep." Extract of a letter from Malta, dated April 21--" Se veral vessels (amongst which are some Enolish and Mal time) have been lately chartered to carry Greek prisoners frost Turkish ports to Alexandria, Tripoli, Tunis, &c. where they have been sold as slaves. This Government has given notice of their determination to put a stop to such proceedings, and persons so offending are to be 'proceeded against in the Court instituted in this island • for the trial of piratical offences. One of those vessels, the Dee Cvgeini is lately arrived here from Alexandria, • Laving in a former voyage carried 40 Greeks to Tunis, where they were sold as slaves by a 'l'urkish supercargo. sbeis now under quarantine, and the captain anti crew are set allowed to have any communication with the shore, and, it is Said, it is the intention of oor Govern ant to proceed against them.

His miserable dwelling was seldom cheered with a Ire, reran in the.most stormy wea ther, and his shrivelled body was scantily covered with raiment.

By letters from Cadiz of the Ist inst., we learn that the merchants of that province of which that city is the head, have been officially informed that the Naval De partment would find ships of war for the defence of that port and the other points of the coast, and at the same time that the Intendant of the Province and the Consu lar Chambers were to be urged to provide hinds for the two•fold purpose of fitting the ships eut and of maintain ing the crews. Lieutenant Jones. a native of Holyhead, arrived on Tues day, at Bangor, in his Majesty's revenue cruizer, Mermaid, with her prize, the Pilot. of Flushing. a new smuggling lug ger. This vessel was taken after a chase of nineteen hours. from the coast of Yorkshire. She threw over the whole of her cargo, consisting of 400 tubs and bales of gin, tea, and tobacco, which the Mermaid passed by without picking up, being Intent on the capture of the 1. Seven of the smug glers escaped iu their galley in the night, and five were taken on board. The Mermaid had nearly captured the Achilles, anothersinugglint lugger, five weeks before, and that vessel threw over the whole canto of 700 tubs, pert of which has since been picked up. Thus the smugglers on the Welsh coast have lost 1160 tubs of goods in a few weeks. A Treasury order has been received In Dublin, directing the Commissioners of Customs to admit cocoa shell Into Ire land for home consumption, from Enropean ports at an ad valorem duty of 311. N. 4d. per cwt. Perhaps it is not generally known, even to our Co r nish readers, that one of the sublimest scenes in the County, is the cavern from which the adventurers of Great Seal Hole Mine, in the parish of Saint Agnes. commenced their adir. On Monday last, a party of gentlemen descended to the edit level, which is fifty-five fathoms below the surface, through North Seal Hole Aline, and partook of a breakfast, in this immense natural excavation. Several vocal and instrumental amAteurs were present, and never was music heard to greater advantage. This cavern which runs inland from the base of the cliff, upward of 50 fa thoms, was first explored, about 50 years ago, by the late Capt. Thomas Stephens, father of the present Capt. Thos. Stephens, who) nearly forfeited his life for the indulgence of his curiosity. It appears, that on a calm day, at low water, he managed, by the assistance of the able miners, to land from a boat at the month of the cave, and leaving them on the outside, proceeded to explore the interior. Having inadvertently rem shard until the sea had risen above the top of the entrance, all hope of escape appeared to be precluded, when one of the men who waited for him, heriocally ventured his life fur the chan e of rescuing the Captain from Ills fearful situation. ' Taking a rope in his hand, he dived through the aper ture, which is very small, and found Capt. Stephens on his knees on the highest rock he could discover, calmly awaiting his fate. The miner succeeded in fastening the rope around the Captain, and making his way through the waves which were roaring over the entrance, he and his companion happily succeeded in getting him in safety in to the boat.—(/Pest Brito)..) Sturman or Sumac —On Monday a field of excel lent sews grass was cut down in the Borough Mnir Perth ; and on Wednesday at Covent-garden market, a small quantity of green peas (not qnite half a peck) was offered for safe, at the moderate price of 21. 104.! So striking are the changes that are taking place in different parts of time metropolis, that stage-coaches every day regularly proceed to Wandsworth, &c. along Abing don-street, Milbank, &c. returning of coarse by the same route. But a few years ago this station was a swamp, on which rafts of timber were floated. The Farm, at St. Bartholomew's, Sandwich, was, on Wednesday last, pursuant to public notice, let by Auc tion, to Mr. Spain, of Ash, at 6001. per annum, being 2501. less than a former rent. Same pear teem that were literally covered with bloi•oins, it was observed, on their shedding them, were but thinly set with fruit, so that their produce must fall very short of what was reasonably expected, from their ear land-like appearance. But this observation does nut ap ply to the apple -trees, which, it seems, have hitherto escaped injury, and yet of fair promise a circumstance we feel pleasure in reporting, as a well-cropped orchard is, at this time of agricultural distress, a great help to the little farmers, some of whom tenants of the Duchess of Dorset, we know, last year, made one hundred pounds each of their growth of apples.—(Senez Advertiser.) It is a curious fact, that at present cattle is Sentiend ex ceed in value those of the same quality in England by at least 10 per cent. This circumstance is entirely owlag to the practice of letting grass parks for grazing during the summer months , a custom which bas been adopted is most of the midland counties.

Arbuthnot. had 70 men, out of her complement of 75, on her victualling list, in tea days after she was in commission, and these all able seamen. Lieut. Robert Seallon, of the Bulwark, and Lieuten ant Richard Clark (a), are promoted to the rank of Com mander, and the former appointed to the Banc, 20, on the roast of Africa —Lieut. T. S. Scriven, to command the Badger, at Weymouth. The Thistle, 10, is ordered to be fitted with dispatch, to retnrn to the African station. The Bellette and Bustard arrived at Barbadoes on the 42d of March, and the Surinam, Fore, Ringdove, and Esk, on the 9th of April; the two latter sailed again the someday—the ltingdove for Jamaica, and the Esk for St. Vineent. The Athol arrived at New York the 19th of April. The Scout arrived at the Havanna the sth of April. The Oloucester, Phaeton, and Eden, sailed from Bar badoes on the Ist ult., for Jamaica. The Thistle, 10, Capt. Hagan, was paid off on Thurs day. It ought to be known throughout the kingdom, that, with only the means which the command of this small vessel gave Capt. H., he captured and released from slavery upwards of four thousand victims of that outrage to humanity, the Slave Trade; who.n lie has had the satisfaction of bringing within reach of the bless ings of British freedom and Christian civilization. The other ships on the station had (previous to the Thistle's departure), also been very successful during the Commodore's (Sir Robert Mends) absence—the Driver, Capt. T. IVolrige, having captured two vessel=, with four hundred slaves ; the Cyrene, Capt. Greer, two, with two hundred and fifty; the Bann, Copt. Voillips, six, with eight hundred ; and the Snapper, Lieut. Itothery, one Limbed and twenty. Remain at Spithead —Ranger, Arrow, and ; with the ship Greenock, bound to the Gspe, and the Al bioo, Best, with convietg, for New South ►Vales. BOW•STREICIP.

COLCHISTILS, Mar 23.—The Friends. .I:X.:ph Tran ba.n, master, of this port, was totally lost on the e veling of the Bth instant, off Dungeness, on her passage from Jersey to Milton, laden with oysters, and every one on board, viz. the master, his son, 18 years of age, his brother-in-law, two apprentices, perished. The vessel was upset in a sudden sepal!: the Queen, of Shorehim, was near her, and also was in the wri west danger, but the sails giving way she righted; the crew of the Friends called for help, bat the Queen being nearly full of water, no assistance could be rendered. Tranhatu has left a wife and five infant children, without the smallest means of maintenance ; they have to deplore not only the loss of their protectoe, but all his little property. • An Act of Parliament has been obtained for incorpo rating a Company in Ireland, for the purpose of making was from ter/,, or tatieer, as we suppose, frau peat. It is uSderstood that a gas of a very superior quality can be made from it, and if so, there is a pros pect of some national good to that unhappy country, by giving additional employment to peasantry. COAL PIT ACCIDENT CONTRADICTED.—We tike the earliest opportunity of giving a positive contradiction to the statement iwerted in our last, of a fatal accid••nt having occurred at the Itryncoed colliery, no such oc currence haying taken place. 'rite narrative we gave was taken from a petition in which it was embodied, and which had been handed about this city, by an unprinci pled miscreant, for the purpose of raising contributions upon the public for his own use.—(Chester Courant.) We are sorry to state that the Tweedside Kelso Coach, I which left E linbisrgh on Saturday morning last, was violently upset when rousing down Sontraisill, on the new mad a little on the west side of the old Inn of Channelkirk. There were nine or ten passengers out side, of whom one gentleman teeped from the easel' be fore it fell, and escaped with a bruise on his knee. Four or five of the others were thrown down the bank front the coach top, along with trunks, boxes, &c. and by the wonderful mercy of Providence, they all e.icaped any actions injury, excepting the Reverend Mr. Shirrs of Yetholin, who had his left arm broken. The rtst of the outside passengers lay where they fell, and were more or less braised, but only one severely. Of the five per sons who were within tke coach, all escaped without the smallest hurt, hut Mr. IVat. Hogg, of Earistoun, whose head was very severely cut, and who, we hear, is now at Earlstonn, in a doubtful state. had not the wall, a part of which was thrown down, served as a sort of prop, the coach would probably have gone over the bank. Of the cause or causes of this alarming occurrence, from which much more serious consequences might bare been dreaded, we feel ourselves at present incompetent to speak. Hot certainly, a matter in which so many lives were put in the most imminent hazard, aught to be fully and impartially investigated.--( Kelso Mail.) Thursday se'nnight,at Glasgor,a Sheriff's officer and a party who had been on the look-out for lomedays for a gang of forgers from Ireland, succeeded in apprehending the whole. On their persons were found 200 guinea notes of the Stirling Bank ; fifteen 30s. notes of the. Bank of Ireland; three 30s. notes of the Northern Bank; one 20s. note of the Royal Bank of Scotland ; and one 20s. note of the York Bank, all forged. Tile gang had no tice on Monday that there was a look-out for them, and were on their way to Ireland by the way of Portpatrick. Batowrox.

The two daughters remained hi the carriage, at the door, while the old lady made her way into the Angel. She ascended the stairs, and foand Belcher in a room, sitting by himself, Neate having retired to change his clothes. Toni thought the lady had mistaken the apartment in the above inn, till she addreased him ? Thy name in Belcher, is it not, friend ?" " Yes' Madam," was the reply.--Toto was in hopes to get rid of the lady before Nettie 'retuned. but she waited till the Bristol hero made his appearance. " understand, friend A'eatc, thou art ;boat fighting a prize battle. Dost thou nor know it is verysinful. Be advised, friend, and give it up." Neate w . ged tii .t he was bound in hononr, and that if ite gave it .up, he was likely to lose 5001. by What is 5001. in comparison with thy poorsoal ! Think of that, friend. (dive it bp, I beg of thee; and I will see if the 5001. cannot be raised for thee." After an expostulation of nearly two hours, ins- pressed upon Neate with tear the old lady retired with out obtaining the desired effect. The Bristol hero, by way of consolation, thanked the old lady for the interest and kindness she had taken in his fate, and promised her that he would not fl ht any more. Wet understand it is the ietentiost of Spring to " tie up Prize•milling," and attend to businea a . On the first deposit of MU. being made good at tl4 Castle Tavern, Holborn, towards the above match, Spring offered to take 'fern Belcher 100/. to 20/. that he drew Pit blood ; also that Neate did not knock him down ing the botde ; and, ultimately, he should ain the fight. " So much du I care," slid Spring, " for the hard hit ting of Neate.!" These events hare all been verified by Spring. Mr. Jackson collected for the losing man, on the ground, 47/. The night previous to the battle, Spring; in company with his backer, walked from Andover to take a view of the ground on which the battle was to take place, when Spring observed " it was so beautifni a spot, that no man could grumble to be well licked uvula it.'
