The letter arrived about after the KING had passed. nor . . _ f tAbaist Mari n. The Cabinet-.taken are now in fell employment ; not one man Oho possesses the slightest knowledge or taste in the business is idle. The trade has re cently received a new and extrosediaary All is bustle and activity. A defect in the old State Cabinet is the cause of all Ibis stir. Since the death of the Marquis of Londonderry one of its principal drawers has been missing, and from the curious qoalities required it has been found difficult to supply the deficiency. The Proprietor has held out large reward and encouragement, but hitherto without success. The vacuum remains. The lost drawer is that which is used as the depot for the reception of foreign curiosities, of which the following articles may afford a specimen Some old French pleat, of curious and evening device,. On one of them is insc►ibed, Abolition of the Slave Trade; on another, Liberty of the Press: both articles of rare art. Several Dutch toys, received in exchange for Java and the trade of the Indian Archipelego. A Dutch'cheele, of rather ungrateful taste. Three large tin canisters, containing promissory notes of the Emperor of Austria, for large sums of money lent by Mr. John Bell. These securities being now out of date, and the canisters requiring much room, Mr. Home, we understand, memos to propose that they should be exchanged for an equal number of Cerritos sausages. An Hanoueriawilddlestirk, with which the owner has frequently attempted to play • part io the royal concerts on the Continent, but the effect being feeble, has been always lost in the loud and over whelming blast of the Prussian trumpet, the French horn, and the clangour of the Austrian cymbal,. A collection of Italian mai& lesersontis, in cluding fiddles of Florence, Piedmont, Naples, Sec., but out of tune, unstrung or shattered by the rude ■nd violent touch of ignorant and unskilful performers. Some carious relics, saved from the Holy In quisition in Spain. The enumeration of these articles, which are few in comparison with the whole mew, may suffice to shew that the drawer required must be of consider. able capacity. and made of good and substantial materials. The Cabinet-makers have furnished several new ones, but they are either of bad stye; or so ill-fashioned, it would seem not masters of the trade but unskilful journeymen had made them. Among the least objectionable are the following: A Peel pine drawer, the timber gems, and not sufficiently seasoned. • A Marra beech ditto; does not ft; sects too A Melville Scotch fir ditto; very doll-looking article; nothing shilling nor showy; made of some old naval stores. A Alaryborough maple ditto ; badly coloured ; the timber cross-graiued, and apt to snap. A clumsy piece of workmanship. A Westmorland willow ditto; a very flimsy a►ticle, no depth nor solidity, and requiring exten sive alteration. A Wellington cAesnait ditto. This sort of timber may answer fur the field; it liss been used to ad vantage for gun-stocks. tumbrils, &c., but is quite out of place in a Cabinet. A C'anning cabbage•tree ditto. This is the most promising of all, and will probably be chosen to fill the vacant space. It is a very showy article, finely polished, hut the material, we learn, is liable to warp and split, and therefore no great depen. dente can be placed on its durability ; neithe► does it harmonize well with Its companions in the sur rounding compartments, which in general are dull and heavy-looking, old-fashioned and formal. For our own parts we.think the Canning cabbage-tree will not answer the purpose. There is a good deal of variety in the grain, which renders it good for ornament, but it wants strength azd firmness for use. Nothing fragile will suit. Besides, it is not of sufficient dimensions. As a stick for squibs and eraekert, or for making matelies, it may do. On several dull evenings. in the House of Commons, we have also seen it used in kindling a fire, and dispelling the ennui of the company, by lighting up a blaze. The owner of the Cabinet, moreover, is not partial to it, and his Chief Manager has doubts of its fitness, and demurs to its introduction into the nest. There is another and a decisive objection to all these articles, except the last. It is, that they fill pieces in the Cabinet already, and there fore the selecting any one of them for the foreign drawer would be only stopping one hole to make another. lit the mean time, great inconvenience, we are ns•ured, is felt from the existing deficiency. The contents of three drawers are now crammed into the Bathurst drawer, which is barely sufficient to hold its own ; and thus the articles hitherto arranged in proper order, in their separate cells, are likely to run into confusion, and become damaged by the mixture and collision. Admitting this to be true in its full extent, we do not pity those who suffer the inconvenience. It is not a case of unavoidable necessity ; the difficulty is of their own creation. As well might they claim our pity wl►o cry out, they are starving on mean and scanty fare, while we see them surrounded with the choicest viands within their reach, but unwilling to stretch out a hand to help themselves. The country possesses abundance of material admirably adapted for the purpose. Irk - -► N't•••!... ._ 4.... • - lib. • _ PUBLIC MEETING. PORTSMOUTH DOCK•TARD REDUCTIONS. A very *nmerous and respectable Meeting of the iishabitaitta of the three towns of Portsmouth, Port . sea, and Gosport, was held on Wednesday last, at the Beneficial Society's Hall, Port►es, upon the subject of the distressing prospects which the ia tended great discharge of men from his Majesty'o service in the Duck-yard present. Sir S. Spicier being celled to the Chair, Mr. Begg Cos Chairmon of the Committ. r) opened the (uvet of the Meet ing, and Mr. James Chase (coal-merchaut) proposed appropriate .re►olutions, which bring seconded by Mr. Brine, a discussion .arose on the subjelitt during which the necessity of retrenchment in all the dep laments of the public service was adroit ted, but it was generally thought to press most heavily and unequally on the mechanics and sew kmen, who had denoted the labour of their whole hese to the aid of our navy, which had contributed so much to place the• nation on the pre-eminence tt stood, whil►t the reductions in the army, and various brioche* of the military establishments of the country, bad not taken place in a commensurate degree. The proposed application was unanimously decided on; anti it was suggested that Government should direct the discootinuunce of horses in Portsmouth Dock yard, the same as in Sheerness, in order to afford en►ployrueut for more labourers ; but ultimately it was thought most suitable, to confine the appli cation chiefly to the discharge of the convicts.—A Memorial to the Right Honourable Hobert Peel, the Secretary fur the Home Deportment, was there upon prepared by a Committee of the lohabitsoto (Mr. Maudlin being requested to assist them therein), and unanimously adopted. It is as follows : .4 To the Right Hoisaurable Robert Peel, one of - bts Majesty's Priori/sal Secretaries of Stale; " The humble Memorial of the staidersigaed lababi touts of rot I.inout b, Porters, cud Gosport, . . SHEWILTH—That the object of the present Memorialists to represent (with rimy due resin - et) the &siren occasioned to this neighbourhood, in consequence of the fa/imitate that have already taken plate, and the prospective redactions that are ordered to be effected in his Majesty's Dock yard and other public departments at this port; and to submit to your compassionate coosideratiou a means, the adoption of which would, they submit, in a great measure avert further impending calamity. That the present system of reducing the number of men employed in the naval 'recitals deplorably affects the local inkiest• of the several sea port towns of the kiegdoen, and it is with t►e utmost deference and respect that year Memorialists represent to you, that the diminution of labour and of trade in conseqsenee of those redactions, isecessarily raises the poor rates, already extremely opprermive, and may increase them to an alarming extent, so that few tradesmen, hitherto reputed to be what is termed respectable, may ►e able to contribute to their support, or to pay so extensively to' the general revenue of the country, as they have heretofore don►, without bringing themselves to a similar state of iadi. gene. and misery. " That, under such circumstances, though your Memo rialists are aware that much causes be time by his Ahjesty's Government to relieve the distress which is become so ge nerally prevalent in these towns, yet, as applying to this vicinity in particular, the removal of the convicts front best?, or the ceasing to employ them is his Majesty's depart ment here, would be the mesas of retaining in the public ser •ice many hottest but necessitous individuals, and thereby prevent that overwhelming addition to our pa►ochial ►ee. dens, which mast otherwise occur, and they fear, even tually terminate in a much greater extent of rain. And your Memorialists at the same time suggest whether the interests of morality here, would not be better sappurfed ■nd beoefiled by the removal of the convicts, whose punishment by transportatius to parts beyond the seas, they conceive was generally contemplatid by the Legisla ture; and though their employment in time of war, when labour was scarce, could nut be dispensed with, the aremsity for their continuance now, in time of peace, does not spear to your Memorialists to exist. Your Memorialists, therefore, subunit this to your most serious consideration, in the hope that it will receive from you the consideration which its Importance 'claims. " And your Memorialists," &r. The Thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Mayor. James Carter, Esq. for calling the Meetiug ; to the Chairman (Sir Samuel Spicer). who was re quested to tranunit the Memorial; and to Mr. Alinchin, for his able, prompt and indefatigable as. instance on the occasion. We are informed that the Memorial has near 4,000 eiguatures to it. Ou Monday the Phylliria transport arrived at Portsmouth from Gibraltar (39 days passage), with invalids from the corps of artillery and sappers and miners, and from the 24th, 64ih, and 75th regiments, under Captains FRAZER, royal artillery, and Ricti- A aDSON, 75th regiment. There was no British ship of war lying at the Rock, but the L arll e was daily expected from Malta, on her way to England. Oil the same day arrived the brig Gil:lend, from Leg horn, with oak timber for Portsmouth dock-yard. Advice. from Mexico to the end of June, re ceived by way of the United States, indicate that the new Emperor ITURBIDE is likely to experience much difficulty in maintaining his sovereignty. His growing unpopularity is ascribed to the re-estia blitiliment of the Inquisition, and his refusal to per mit the European Spaniards to return to their na tive country, or at least to curry their wealth with them. We have received an account of the improper conduct of some of the City Ringers when the Prin cess AUGUSTA came tbrough Oxford on Monday tie' *ght. We did not think it possible that any men would venture to degrade themselves, the pa rishioners, and the city, by ringing a peal of congra tulation on the visit of one of the Royal Family, and immediately afterwards beg fur a remuneration at the.carriage door of ber Royal flightless !—(o.r. ford Herald.) The puhtic were lately informed that the Marquis of CONYNGHAM left Edinburgh a few days atter hie MAJSITY'S arrival in that capital, to repair to the Marchioness, who, it was affirmed, was sojourn. ing among the solitary woods mod dells of Slane. Our readers will, probably, notwithstanding, be but little surprised to hear that the Marchioness of Co alrllGHAlll has not been in Ireland this year. tier Ladyship, as might be expected, now resides in her splendid mansion in Hamilton•place, Piccadilly. From this fact we may conjecture that the object in dispatching the Noble Marquis, holdi so important a situation in the Royal must have been different from what stated ; but whether it related to our ro, as some imagined, or to «vents connected MAJESTY'S reception in Scotland, wr tend to say.

He was master of the band of • regiment, Which was quartered at Halifax is the year 1770. It mat Isere proposed by some of the priacipal inhabitants to erect an organ in the chereh, •nd subscriptions were entered into fur that purpose. Sir William was elected organist, priaeipally through the recommendatiou of the late Josh Bites, Hag. who was the son of the then parish clerk of Halifax, sad whose acknowledged judgment in the science of music ensured sleeves, to the candidate whose cause be espoused. Sir William continued here fur many years; bet disilkiag the monotony of a country ton,,, he removed with his brother to Bath, where they were hulk engaged, for the Pump Room band, by the late Mr. Lindley, who then conducted the first musical entertainments established in that city. Sir William saran. d his profession at Bath fur route years, highly esteemed by • onnierous circle of friends, and increasing in fame and fortune; but if it had had not been for one of those little at-etch-tits whirl, determine the " path that mrs ate destined to Walk." wiener might bate lost she advantages of his brilliant discoveries. He employed his leisure hours in astronomical observatisms mad ezperimexis; sad some of them laving fortunately attracted royal attention, that great patron of site arts, Gems, the Third, was resolved that “ Herschel' should set tigerlike his valuable time in crotchets and q a." Sir William, under his gracious patronage, relinquished his profilist's:4 and devoted himself eathely to astronomy and the orainsofactoring of telescopes.

On Saturday the Duke of Devoustmte arrived at Lismore Castle, county of Waterford. his Grace was received, on reaching the boundary of his estate, by a very large body of hid te nantry, from Lismore and Tallow, well mounted, and exhibiting in all respects an appearance as creditable to the tenantry as it must have been gratifying to the landlord. One of the te nant'', in the name of the rest, respectfully and affectionately congratulated the Duke on his arrival, and stated that they had come to receive him as a testimony of their sincere re spect and attachment. • The Duke appeared to be much affected by this cordial welcome, and expressed strongly his sense of their grati fying attentinn. Many of the gentlemen from Lismore and its neighbourhood were on differ ent parts of the road, who had come out to greet his Grace on his arrival. On approaching Lismore, the horses were taken from the Duke's carriage, and be was drawn to the Castle. The great number of the spectators, the admirable order which was every where observed, and the general satisfaction and pleasure which appeared to be diffused by the arrival of his Grace, rendered the scene most inte resting. At night. an illumination took place, which was brilliant and general, extending even to the humblest habitations. The Duke of HAMILTON left Edinburgh on Sa turday for Kinneil. The inhabitants of Bo'ness having beard of his approach, turned out in a body, and escorted his Grace to Kinneil Noose with mute and every other demonstration of joy. All the ves sels in the harbour fired a salute as he passed. The inhabitants of Hamilton, influenced with the highest respect for his many patriotic virtues, and particularly delighted with the prospect of his speedily becoming a constant resident at Hamilton Palace (the repairs of that mansion bring now in a forward state), collected yesterday in great num bers, marched down the park, and having found his Grace near the garden wall, in their unceremonious anode of strewing respect, they forced him into a carriage, and drew it through the principal streets of the town. Loud cheering, and cries of " Hamil ton for ever !" accompanied the procession. The same proceeding was gone through with Lord BELHAVEN. Lord ARCHIBALD being unwell, de_ chord this expression of popular regard. No acci dent happened. Refreshments were liberally dm.: tribute'', and the crowd dispersed in good humour —(Glasgow Chronicle.) • An unpleasant scene occurred at the gate of the Exchange on Friday afternoon, after the termina tion of bueinets, and or the nature of which the public are likely to be hereafter more sccurately informed through the medium of a legal investiga tion. Some foreign Stock-brokers were collected, as is usual with them, for the purpose of closing the different transactions of the day, when a gentleman, who was pairing, and who is said to be a rubscriber to Lloyd's, thought proper to stigmatise the parties and the business in which they were engorged by some abusive epithets. Some lime lying near, which is used by the workmen repairing the Exchange, he proceeded to scatter a portion of it smiting the brokers assembled, and one of them, Mr. Joseril COHEN, was severely injured in one of his eyes. It is not known whether the assailant intended to di.. rect his attack against Mr. COHEN in particular : he ass immediately discovered and pointed out, and will probably have to pay for his aggression. Mr. Cosign su ff ered so much from inflammation on Sa turday, as to be incapacitated from attending to business. On Monday the armed transport Dasher, Lieut. C. Woutiox, arrived et Portsmouth from the Lee ward Islands, bringing several officers (passengers), about 30 army and navy invalidg, and returned stores.
