REMAINS OF THE LATE QUEEN. The remains of her late Majesty bare reael►ed Cuxhaven, Early on Sunday morning last, the funeral squadron consisting of his Majesty's ship Glasgow, with the Royal corpse on boar& accom panied by the Tyne, the Rosario, the Wye, and th e Gannet, appeared off that port. They had not been brought to an anchor when the mail left Cuxhaven ; but as the wind was then blowing from the eastward, it was supposed that it would be necessary to moor the vessels, and that some days might elapse before the fleet, on account of the prevalence of easterly winds, could proceed up the Elbe as far as Stadt, the place fixed upon for the disembarkation. TIIE KING'S LEVEE. [fPROM THE DUBLIN STSNINS POST, AVG. 21.] A r reltinsinutes after one o'clock yesterday, his Ma jesty arrived in his private carriage at the Castle from the Park. accompanied by the Marquess of Headfort, the Lord in Waiting.—The crowd which attended the Lore* was unprecedented. even on the most crowded days of the English Court. The number of persons presented amounted to between two and three thousand. From half-past eleven to half-past three, carriages were setting down company: the line of carriages, setting down, for several hours, continued to reach from very near the Rotunda, in Great Britain-street, to the Castle yard. It was necessary twice to delay a little to enable those within to depart, in order to make room fur others; much inconvenience arose from this extraordinary pressure. His Majesty was dressed in a Field Marshal's uni fora, and appeared in excellent health. Previous to holding the Levee, the following cere monies and introductions took place: First, of the Most Illustrious order of Saint Patrick, which was at tended by his Grace the Lord Primate. and several Of ficers belonging to the Order. The following Noble men were introduced, when each received the honour of Knighthood, and were invested with the insignia of the Order Lord Greaves, as proxy for his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, who was introduced between the two senior Knights, the Marquess Conynghain and the Karl of O'Neill; the Marquess of Donegal, his Excel lency the Earl Talbot, the Earls of Ormonde, Meath, Roden, Courtown, and Fingal, were subsequently intro duced between the two junior Knights, Sir Wm. Be them, Ulster King of Arms, bearing the Ribbon and badge on a blue velvet cushion. His Majesty afterwards held an investure of the Most Honourable Order of the B *when Admiral the Hon. Thomas Pakenhana, K. C. 8., received the honour of Knighthood, and was invested with the Ribbon and Badge of that Most Honourable Order ; and Sir Jobe K.C.8., on his attaining the rank of Major-Gene ral, received from his Majesty the star of that degree of the Most Honourable Order. Sir William Delimit), Ulster King of Arms, officiated for Sir George bawler on this occasion. His Majesty afterwards received in the closet, the Addresses from the Roman Catholic Bishops, Presby terians, and Quakers. The King, previous to the Levee, received, in his Closet, the Addresses from the Roman Catholic Bishops the Dissenters, and Quakers. The former was dressed in their Episcopal robes, and the latter suffered their hats to be removed before they entered the presence. His Majesty, in Isis Answers, assured their presenters of his protection, and inculcated a continuation of those feelings of harmony, which now happily exist among all classes of his Majesty's subjects. Answer to the Presbyterian Dissenters' Address. " The sentiments which yon have expressed on my arrival in this part of my dominions, are highly grati fying to me, anal are entitled to my warmest thanks. I have the fullest confidence in your faithful and firm attachment to my person and throne ; and yon may be assured of my constant protection of those Civil and Religious Liberties, which are the birthright of my people." The Address from the Presbyterians was received in the most gracious manner, and when the Moderator wbo read it came to that part which:alluded to his late 3lajesty, the King became so much affected that it was some time before he could proceed with the answer, which lie read with peculiar dignity and grace. THE QUAKERS. The number of the Deputation wbo presented the Address from the Society of friends, was 'svelte. Answer to the Society of Friends' Address. m It is highly satisfactory to me to receive your Con. gratulation on my arrival in this part of my Kingdom, And your assurances of attachment to my person and Giveroment. a Tim loyalty of your principles, and your regular and peaceable conduct, entitle you to my good opinion and esteem. Yon may rely upon my constant protection and on the continuance of those privileges which you now so justly possess." The Roman Catholic Prelates were then intro duced. His Majesty's reception of the Venerable body was most gracious and Battering. The De putation consisted of the Most Rev. Dr. Curtis, R. C. Primate of all Ireland, Most Rev. Dr. Troy, Arch bishop of Dublin, with his Coadjutor, the Most Rev. Dr. Murray ; Most Reverend Dr. O'Kelly, Archbishop .of Team; Right Rev. Doctors Pion hot, Bishop of Meath ; Wrens, Bishop of Ossory ; Doyle, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin ; MeHauran, Bishop of Ardagh; ♦rchdeacon, Bishop of Kil tenors ; O'Reilly, Bishop of Kilmore ; Murphy, Bishop of Cork. The Address was carried into the Royal Presence by the Primate by ►Thom it was handed to the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, who bad the honour of reading it to the King. His Majesty read his gracious and interesting Answer with all that grace of enunciation for which he is so remark able. The Answer was then presented to Dr. Murray. who kissed his Majesty's hand, in which he was fol lowed by the rest of the Reverend Deputation, who then withdrew, deeply impressed with the dignity and' affability of his Majesty's deportment. The reply to • IP STATICIII the Address it endorsed, '" Hie Majesty's Answer to the Address of the Irish Room* Catholic Bishops," which was as follows: " I am highly gratified by y onr congra t u l a ti ons on my arrival in this country, and by the sentiments of cordial and dutiful attachment which you have expressed to my person and throne. '1 It was my earnest wish, in visiting this part of the United Kingdom, that an equal degree of satisfaction might be diffused amongst all description of my faithful subjects in Ireland. That wish is happily and fully ac complished ; and I am persuaded that no endeavours will be wanting, on your part, to cherish and preserve that spirit of loyal union which now pervades and animates the whole community, and which is not less conducive to individual and social happiness, than to the strength and prosperity of the State." Immediately after the Addresses had been received, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant introduced the Officers of the Order of St. Patrick, and his Excel lency's Household, to his Majesty, who had sever ally the honour of kissing hands. At two o'clock his Majesty commenced holding his first Levee in Ireland. The following were among the numerous Presenta tions, all of which bis Majesty received with the great est condescension. His Orate the Duke of Leinster, whose reception was most gracious. The Earl of Cogan, with the Address of the Catho lics of Ireland. Mr. O'Connell, presented by the Earl of Fingal!. Mr. Howler. by T.

Dr. PA T, - 1 never wrote line to yon since my last, which, I suppose, didn't come to hand, or you'd have told me of all the billo-bulloo you had over the wster, ' and of the Boys bothering the Horse Marines, without any thing in their hands but their fists.—Oh, ntur ther! is it not • pretty kettle of fish, that a poor woman that was buried alive these five anti twenty years, could not be left to live in peace and quietness after her death, but to be tossing and tumbling and disturbing the poor creature, without rhyme or reason. I suppose you Cockneys think she had no friends here, there your pipe's out; we may roar, and shout, and bawl, and screech, and make asses of ourselves, because the Deizos are laid up in lavender, like PatlJy Ward's 'pig, who now dare not she- their ugly exterminating faces, and from whom we never could get Justice or fair play before. Still we love the memory of that woman, whose persecutions revived the drooping spi rit of liberty in England, and, perhaps, led to the measure that now causes a bustle among us here; "ii is an ill wind blows nobody good." Be the p—w—rs, the King was blon n here by steam, and the people are blown out of breath in running to look at him ; be case !he Devil burn the one we had since Shrove Aelludcah, now one hundred and thirty-three years ago ; anti you know Pelt, it must be a novelty to us, as Hawkins the tinker said, tt hen he married his seventh wife ; really, I don't know what the bugo!ioo. have been doing with the King in England, where, I'm told they kept him coop'd up as we used O'Brien the big Giant, without letting another soul see him, but those who had a pass for the purpose. But, here every body sees, and by St. Patrick, he sees every body before they come within a mile of him. Adad,' all the boys say that he has imported as heavy a cargo, of Blarney as if he was born in Cork ; but d—n the expence, he looks as jolly and as hearty as if he lived all his lifetimespon Whiskey Punch.—Oh, Pat honey! when he jtimp'd upon the sod, it was from a flash of Lightning°, and, by the powers of Moll Kelly, the thunder was first, but the lightning was a little before it ; for such thundering shouts and shaking hands would frighten a horse from his oats. Oh ! 118/111/IM an Aher ages a Vie.f His hands must be as sore as a cut shin at a hurling ; for such shaking and squeez ing, be the p—w—rs, he appeared in such unusual good humour, that he didn't know whether it was his own hair or a wig he wore, and between you and I, he appeals the broth of a boy. " And be said he'd take his tea, " In a bumper of sweet pea." You know. Pat, when a stranger mottoes to the whiskey, we think him half Irish at oast; be shook my hand; I never before had a Royal ewes*, except from Stephen Armitage, the pawnbroker, late King of Dalkoy. Oh, poor Stepliou and his Court were sett upon the ShongAresmj-011, hod lack to the Crawley's l Amen, Against:o t bat let us try to forget our miseries in the hopes of an alteration. lee sure, Pat, the people can never forget—well, we look for other times. Luck and gram to me if the new Mar quis, which we so long bated, was net the very boy that brought over the King. Well to be sure, would you suppose the instrument employed to rob us of a bad article would bring as bask a better, and as many promises as would resell from here to ItellylivAgen, if be only keeps his word t Oh, the Devil fly away with the man Jack of you bat will be as jealous as if Newmarket was to emelt a rape upon the Cur ' ragh of Kildare. He says the devil a one of our cabin windows shall pay taxes, were it as big as Patrick's steeple; and that the people shall eat their own pigs if they can get embody to buy them ; and that in future they may sell their torn and potatoes for all they can get; and each a beautiful string of promises it would do your heart good to see them all realised. Well, be it so, half a loaf is better than no bread. I'm told your bread in England is made of potatoes; what an invention. Tell me Pat, upon your conscience, did your bakers get a patent for it, or did it ems salami to them ? told all your English bakers are Senteharen; if they are, by the Hill of illairth, sod that's a lump of au oath, they'll better their bread ea both sides, whisk mass be a great easing to theieselsme or their mummers. Naboeklisii etelire, they had their day, 'tie sow our turn. No more Barisal Use case is altered, and the day our own, at least for the present, only they raised the price of the toggle. because they say 'tis a Royal beverage.— % you see Pat Hooey what the world is come to. There's the OS boys make a guard for the King. and the devil burn the soldier he lets come near him ; yet in Bulgiesd they wouldn't let him go out to sup with a lady without a guard, 0! chone. oh ! bow some people will allow themsrkes to be batuls..osleti. A pod man wants no guard. gr he Bulls. the Saw treys. and the Taffys like fair play as we do ; a halter of snow will lead us, bat the Unkoly Alliexce, or the Bridge-street Chap:, assisted by Old Nick, cannot drive u. Bad luck to the pair said the Jackdaw when be (*weed his legs with red stockings. Oh ! Pau, my jewel, if you saw the string of coaches on Fri day, they reached three or four of your lioglish miles. I'm told year miles and measures are shorter than ours. Oh ! by the steeple of Timahoc, Donny-brook and the Coronation of King Stephen, and all the boys from Battentown to Dualeary, put together, could not make such a beautiful ree-raw. Solomon in his glory was but a pepper-sheer to it. I'm so busy with all sorts of fun. that 1 am only able to say you shall hear more in my out.

Can the " Emerald Isle" ne'er be quiet Has fate made disturbance her portion For now that her sons cease to riot, Her bogs make intestine commotion ! There is a passage in liurke's " Causes of the pre sent Discontents," which might afford a most season able lesson to those who bold the sentiments of the many in derision, and who think that a charge of - cavalry is the happiest mode of meeting and refuting public opinion Government (says Rorke) is deeply interested in every thing which, even through the medium of some tempo- 1 Lary uneasiness, may lead finally to compose the minds of the subject, and to conciliate their affections. I have nothing to do here with the abstract value of the voice of the people. lint as long as reputation, the most precious possession of every individual, and as long as opinion, the great support of the State, de pend entirely upon that voice,it can never be considered as a thing of little consequence either to individuals or to ()overeaten'. Nations are not primarily ruled by laws; less by violence. Whatever original energy may be sup posed either in force or regulation, the operation of both is, in truth, merely instrumental. Nations are governed by the same methods, and on the same principles, by which an individual without authority is r otten able to govern those who are his equals or his sa pnriorst by a knowledge of their temper, and by a Judi h MORI management of it. I mean, when public affairs are steadily and quietly conducted, not when °overti mes% is nothing beta continued scuffle between the Ma gistrate and the Multitude, in which sometimes the one and sometimes the other is uppermost ; in which they ultimately yield and prevail, to a series of contemptible victories, and scandalous submissions. The temper of the People amongst whom he presides, ought, them fore, to be the first study of a Statesman. And the knowledge of this temper it is by no means impossible for him to obtain, if he has not interest in being igno rant of *bat it is his duty to learn. The system above commended is, however, by much 100 old-fashioned for the present times, the march of improvement in the act of governing has long oat stripped such antiquated doctrine, which is indeed founded on first principles, and therefore wholly be neath the notice of a Statesman of the nineteenth cen tury. The vessel of the State, conducted on the roles of a modern improvement, by dint of vapour, iron, and fire and smoke, now defies the tide of popular iuclina tion, and the breath of public opinion ; the pressure may, however, some day prove too high, and no Sir Humphrey Davy has yet invented a political safety valve, to this hazardous piece of machinery. Mt. Clark, the Chamberlain of the City of London, is at this time in rather a declining state, is WOW queen of his advanced age. This circumstance has excited much interest in two or three members of the Corporation, who are extremely regular in their filUtiliT inquiries after hie health. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

There was a good day's play in the vicinity of Kil burn on Toeday. The first battle was between K. Ac ton and the Koinford baker, for a subscription purse of guineas. Tom Jones seconded Acton, and awry llult picked up the baker. The fight lasted one hour and a quarter. The first part of it was courageously main tained. I n the first round a smart rally commented, and there were several heavy counter hits. The baker had the best science, and threw his adversary. 2. Another gay round; both were heavily hit abolt the head, and each refused to go down. Acton at length, got the fall. 3. Both piping from strong exercise, and getting away from each other; a rally at length terminated the round in favour of the baker. 4. The best round in the battle in favour of the baker, who placed some smashing hits, and was wet returned upon. The claret dew in all directions. Ac ton was thrown. 5. The baker floored his adversary by a lugger, and seemed to have fought himself out. Acton bad decidedly the best of the remainder of the *gist, set* doremmption of the 13th mid Issh resod*, whic* be some aceount, but his Bacons was transit e 32d round lie was deaf to time, and Acton was c are the winner. Some time afterwards a smart battle teas &nest be tweeen G. Ellard, a pupil of Lairs, and the loser, fur lore, or at least because George Rowed the baker up. It was a drawn battle after several rounds. The Norwich Bull finished the past time by asitlissg away at some game triliers. Carter's benefit at the Royal Tennis-court was a (Allure, but there was some fine setting-to. Spring and Belcher made one of the best sets-to seen for a length of time; it drew forth much applause. It was a master-piece of science, and although Sprint had the advantage of length, yet he wu parried and returned upon most judiciously. Oliver and Crawley made an excellent set•to also, and hit away manfully. After many other bouts, Carter and Ben Burn wound op the sports in another excellent set-to, when many scientific counter hits were exchanged. (house shooting, so far as can be judged by the number of birds which are daily sent from the north, has commenced favourably in the Highlands of Perth shire. More company has paned through Perth fur the moors within these few days, than for some years past at the same season. The Wrexham Pedestrian has completed his unpa ralleled task of walking 610 miles in ten successive days (Sunday excepted,) without appearing the least distressed. During the course of this extraordinary feat he did not lose more thee twelve pounds in weight. The match for 50 guineas aside, between young Brow., the costerrnonger, and Bonn, the Deptford Youth, was made at Burn's, in Windmill-street, on Thursday evening, to fight fur 50 guineas aide on the 25th of September. Such is now the favourable appearance of the boa plantations, that the duty is laid at one hundred awl sixty thousand pounds. _ _ The harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of Brighton, under highly favourable auspices. The crop promises to be a most abundant one. A few days ago, Mr. Stevens, a tespectable inba• bitant of Lindfield, 91 years of age, assisted his Great Grandson in ploughing a field. CORN EXCMAGGI.
