The following Address was presented to his Ma jesty from the Noblemen, Freeholders, Justices of the Pe4ce, and Commissioners orSupply of the County of Berwick : "TO THE HING E S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Mak!ly, " We, your Majesty's most loyal sad dutiful subjects, the Noblemen, Freelsokkirs, Justices of the Peace, mod Commis. stoners of Supply, of the County of Berwiek, warmly par taking of the general joy which your royal presence in this country has so widely diffused, entreat your 111sjray to ac cept our heartfelt congratulations on your arrival io the metropolis of Scotland. " During the course of those changeful sod momentous events whirl) have characterised the eraof your royal govern ment, we have never had occasion, either in the hour of doubtful danger, or of exulting triumph, to offer our humble duty to your Majesty with more grateful sensations than at present, when we have the happiotas of seeing a British Monarch °ace more in the capital of this his ancient kingdom. in former periods of English and Scottish history, the immediate district which we inhabit, sod which we now see enriched with all the luxuriance of an abundant harvest, was the constaut theatre of war, and of the rivalry of contending faction; and though the conflict of two brave and opposing nations might occasionally lead to the creation of a spirit of generous chivalry, yet such a state of things was equally de. *tractive to the splendour and happiness of the Monarch, and to the welfare sod prosperity of his subjects. A royal alliance of you. Majesty's aocestors at length effected the great sad important union of the crowns, whiles later period beheld the cousolidatioo of the natural strength of the British empire by lbe union of the kingdoms. But it was reserved for your Majesty's reign, and that of your royal and illus. Wows father, to witness the triumph of that consolidated power, and to see Great &Reiss assume that distinguished attitude, which she Is co justly entitled to call her ow., among the nations. That such an object has been attained, by the firm and generous resolution of our Sovereign, and the wisdom of his councils, can never be obliterated from our recollection, and is already written on the brightest pages of recoading history, where future generations may learn the imperishable truth, of bow much may be accom plished by the united efforts of a loyal people, directed by a patriot King. " No Monarch of England was ever known to pees to the North of our Scottish border under such happy and suspicious circurnstanees; and, implesard with the ile.peet feeling* of loyally soil iiitachment, we bid your Majesty a warm and a cordial welcome in Scotland. ...Signed in our name, and by our appointment, by Alexander, Earl of Home, Lord Lieuteuant of the County, and l'reses of the Meeting. " HOME." SHOOTING. The lie match, and the last of the 'mon, took place on the taut day of August, between the Alidgham and the Ash ton Pigeon Clubs, fur 500 guineas aside, at seven bird, each, between eleven gentlemen from each Club, in the Midghain meadows, which terminated as follows :—Midgbam killed 63; Ashton killed 59.—The Ashtou Club lost six birds, which fell more than one hundred yards from the trap. 4 MONSTER.

VIZ HISTORY OF CLEKIINTINA, OK TSB SORROWS OF MIR MOTHER. An aged female yesterday applied to the Alderman to assist her in recovering ibis possession of ber daughter. She stated that about six monihs ago a young woman prevailed on her daughter to lee', her, and to join the company of a travelling showman. Her daughter went against tier ene ma. The showman was now exhibiting at Bartholomew Fair. She weal there that morning in expectation of seeing her angel of a daughter, in which she was dtsappniuted. She made inquiries after her from the showman and his whole rnmpsny, and they denied all knowledge of her, whfrh mach her •cry uneasy, and she wished to have the advice of the Magistrate on the subject. Mr. Payne (the Clerk of the O(lee)_" I anppose your daughter was is the habit of dancing The Applicant...." Let her lion; for that. She could dance as well as any gltl of be: age in the kingdom ; but that is not what she excels is, her mind soars above it—her forte is tragic parts: if you had only heard her recite the part of Juliet, it would have dune you good. Many and many Is the time hos she rotted the tears from these old ryes; she done it to the life: but then, Sir, if you were but to see her in the last set, where she had to die, she did it so naturally, sad because so stiff, just like • corpse that had been in a coffin for six days, and she took it so •it to heart that she would lay so for twenty minutes ; ranee, indeed, 1 thought she was quite gone, and had alarm ed the neighbourhood, but • neighbour, with the assistance of • bucket of water, the contents of which he threw over her, brought her to. .For my part, I always liked her repre. etiolation of Desdowans best, and many • quarrel we hid abort it. She used to say she detested the part, for she acted any thing that her heart was not in, and she could nut think of • black man being her lord and insider. She told me once that she hail an idea of studying the cha racter of Lady Rachel*, hut was prevented, afraid she would never be able to wash tine blood of Dainears from ber hands ; for although 1 say, that ought not to say it, there never was a more tender-hearted creature in the world—she would nut burl • bullock." Mr. Payne—" Pray what may be the age of this youog lady wk. is endowed with such great talent i" Applicant—" Sixieea." Payne—'• It is not improbable but that the showman's story is correct, fur he sway nut koow what has become of your daughter, because, with such ability se yin hare de scribed her to be possessed of, it is probable that she lies become a member of ■ swore r. spectable theatrical company." Applicant —" But they ►ate no right to keep my child from me." Alderman Cox—' 4 Certainly they bare not ; bat I cannot give you any assistance as to recovering her. You must get a Habeas Corpus, calling on the showmen, to produce her." Applicant—" That is the very thing I dreaded, fur if she is a corpse, what would he the use of his producing her ? and If she is not a corpse, I am sure she would not have staid so long away from the affectionate arms of so good a mother. Indeed, your Worship, I know Clementine would not."— [This expression was accompanied by loud sobbing j Mr. Niue requested she would dry sip her tears, as the Alderman did nut mean to say that Clernentiva was n corpse, bus that the only redress she had was by a writ of Habeas Corpus, directed to the person in whose custody she was, to produce her, or spew cause why he did not. She had soother remedy, that of bringing an action for the loss of her daughter's services. Applicant—'' But no person has a right to keep a daugh ter from a mother." Alderman Cox observed, that he would recommend her to go to the City Marshals, whose duty it was to attend to the fair, and he believed t►ey were vested with such power while the fair lasted to compel the showman to inform her all ►e knew about her daughter The applicant thew retired is tears. THE MARRIAGE ACT. A Parish Officer applied to koow if they had at the Office soy forgo of •fdaMb to be filled up for prrsous to swear before beans of asarriato could be published between parties wader the late Marriage Art? Mr. Pasoe said they had Got. The Officer said he did nut know how to ■ct; he had many applications fur them from persons who wanted to be married, and as tbry were to be sworn before a Magiatrate, he thought the form might be in the Office. Mr. Payne said ibis was the first application of the kind that had been made to the Office. If the Act of Parliament livid that the affidavit was to be made before an Alderman, the sitting Magistrate would diacliarge his duty by swearing the parties; but he had nothing to du with advising what the form of the affidavit clerk to be. Alderman Cox observed, that the Parish Officer bad bet ter apply to Dr. Phi Mature at Doctors Comes... fur lastruc twee. PI CRPOCK ETR. Yesterday John Barfaa , a lad abort 18 years of age, who was brought up us Monday, charged with picking the pocket of a Mr. Saunders, in Nersgale street, on Saturday night, and remanded on account of that gentleman not appearing, was again brought up. The watchman stated, that a person, who gave his address "Saunders, Commereial-ioad," gave the Prisoner into his custody on Saturday night, and stated that he would appear ■t the office oa Monday morning, which he bid neglected to do; in consequence of which he (the witness) went to the Commercial-road, with a summons to compel him to sprear, but be could not And any such person.

The Prisooer in his defence said be was a shoemaker, and worked will. his faiber. The father and mother of the Prisoner, who are decent looking people, requested of the Alderman that be would seed him to sea, so they were afraid if he was allowed to re main in London he would come to an untimely end. They had applied to get him Into the Marine School, but there was so ♦ y. Alderman Cox said he doubled the assertion oftherevnot bring • vacancy in the Marine School, but be thought it was •rry probable that the persons who had the management of the institution did net wish to receive the Prisoner, as from the infamy of his character he might corrupt the other boys under their care. He would commit the Prisoner fur 14 (ivy, to Bridewell, which world keep him so lung out of mischief, and before that period was expired, perhaps some nude might be devised of saving him Goo that end which his pa rents so much dreaded. Committed to Bridewell fur 14 days. WM Cook was charged with attempting to pick the pocket of a gentleman in Newgate.street oat Monday night. George &brood, • watchman of the ward of Farringdon Within. raid that as be was standing on the north side of New. gate-street about eleven o'clock on Monday nig►t, he saw the Prisoner and two other young men walking on the opposite side of the street, arm within arm ; two gentle men were walking before them ; be raw the Prisone► try the pocket of one of the gentlemen three times. The witness went up to the gentlemen cud asked them if they had lost any thing, on which the Prisoner and his companions ran away. He followed them and look the Prisoner into cus tody in St. Paul's Church yard; he searched him, bet found nothing of a suspicious nature on him. The Prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was a stove. maker, and worked for Mr. Smith, Ili Golden.lane. He de clared that there was not one word of truth in the evidence of the watchman. _ He was committed to Bridewell for 14 days. A RE BOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT EXTRAORDINARY. A little girl of interesting appearance presented herself before the Magistrates, J. E.. Emmet and Roe, Esqrs. yesterday, to make a complaint of as extraordinary nature against her moister, a Mr. Booby, a painter, residiug its the neighbourhood of Tottenham-court-road.

On hi. being put to the bar, the fol lowing fresh dieters were brought against him : Mr. George esker/ell, glass-cutter, of 37, Strand, deposed, that on last Saturd•y week, the 24th of August, the Prisoner came to his shop and presented him with the note then pro duced, pit porting to be from Mr. Elliot, of 25, Compton. street, Clerkenwell, fur Iwo elegant cut glass decanters.

The xi at rhirge against the Prisoner was by Mr. Joseph Clcmeutso•, Angel-street, ht.

This note was also proved to be • forgery, but the offence being coirewitted iu the City of London, the case aas not gone into. arEcurzok On Saturday last was executed, on the lap of oar county gaol, Samuel Barrett, aged 31, convicted ■t our last As sizes of stealing three horses, the property of Richard Hooper, of St. George'''. Since his coudemnatioa, it is satisfactory to be enabled to state !bat his beha viour was very proper and becoming his awful situa tion. He received every siltation from the Rev. Chap lain, and by the penitence be rvi•ced, shewed that he had made a due use of those consolations which religion ►eld out to bim. On Saturday, after receiving the Holy &crassest, be was conducted to the scaffold, about twelve o'clock, cad having briefly exhorted the people to lake warning by his disgraceful fate, was lasinehed into eternity, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. We would faiu hope that his warning may take effect opon his guilty com panions, but that he afforded ip his ow■ person a melaa choly proof of the insufficiency of these dreadful examples of the law to deter the hardened offender from she re peated commission of crimes denounced as capital by our existing code. The subject of this mottos seas Inuit the neighbutuhood of St. George's, where we fear there are assay more of equal depravity. About seven years ago he was sentenced to be transported for stealing two donkeys from Bradbury, Wilts, and having served fire years and three months en beard the hulks., the remainder or his term was re mitted, and he was discharged in January, 1820. He imme diately returned to his old companioas, and was in clew cutotexiou with • most notorious set of horse.stealers and housebreakers, of whose proceedings he has given an ac curate account. Since the period of his discharge it appears that he has been actually • party in stealing no less than thirty-five horses from various parts of the country, which were disposed of at Smithfield, Brighton, Bristol, and other places; mod he was one of the persons concerned in the rubbery of Mr. Goilfrey's house, at Mien, a few months too. Some of the property has been recovered, in consequence of his irosfessiuu, and we would give • mote minute detail of his nefarious Ir/tenacity/I but that we might thereby defeat the rads of justice sidgard to his equally guilty associates.--(Gloacastrr Journal.)

With the feelings of Irishmen your Lord. ship, I am persuaded, is already well acquainted ; and never were those feelings more warmly or an. equivocally exhibited than in the manner in which your name, and this well-earned tribute to your put exertions in favour of Ireland, were received upon that occasion. Counsellor O'Connell. who proposed this Resolution, prefaced it by a glowing and beautiful panegyric on your Lordship's public and private character, and your patriotic exertion. in the tense of civil and religious liberty, which was among the happiest efforts of his powerful eloquence, and was alike honourable to his bead and heart. " 1 regret my alter inability to do justice either to Mr. O'Connell's speech, or to the feelings of the meeting at which I had the honou► to ; bat 1 cannot conceal the sincere and heartfelt pleasure which I experience in being selected as the organ of waking this communication ; and I tru►t your Lordship will do me the justice to believe, that in unabated admiration of your powerful esertions in favour of your native country, whilst residing on this side of the Atlantic, and in fervent wishes that success may attend your future labours in the cause of religion and humanity in the free and fortunate land of your adoption, no individual at that meet. ing participated more warmly and sincere!y, than, my Lord, " Your Lotdrhip's devoted " And very sincere and obedient Servant, " THOS. STEPHEN COPPLNGEE. " To the Right Rev. Dr. England, Bishop of Chailestoo, South Carolina," lee. &c. The following is • copy of the resolution of the Aggregate Meeting : " That our Chairman be requested to convey, is We warm. est manner, to the Right Rev. Dr. Eoglaad, our unabated admiration of his patriotic and powerful exertions in f f Ireland whilst amongst us, and our fervent prayer for the success of his endeavours in the cause of religion and hums. oily is the free country where be now resides." " Charleston (S. C.), United States of America, May 29, 1822. " My dear Sir—lt is now some months since I had the honour of receiving your kind letter, con veying to me the resolution of my friends in Cork, at their Aggregate Meeting in the beginning of last year. " I owe to you and to them an explanation for my not having sent an earlier acknowledgment. " When your letter arrived, which was about 12 months since, I was in the interior of Noah Caro lina, and continued traversing that State for some time. In the beginning of September business obliged me to go to New York, and upon my way hither in November I was seized with a violent fever, which had nearly proved fatal, and from the effects of which I am but now just recovered; a number cf letters and papers which did not press for immediate answers lay by until I should have recovered, and amongst them was your esteemed favour. Thus, I trust, you and the Roman Catholics of Cork will perceive that my silence was not disrespectful, for though an ocean rolls between us, and our fortunes may be different, I trust our mutual love and sym pathy will ever continue. " For the sentiments expressed in the Rtsolu tiou, I feel deeply grateful, and believe me, that in a strange laud, and suffering from an unconge nial climate, the kind recollection of my old foiends, conveyed to me by one of their most valuable mem bers, cheered and consoled me. Will you speak to them my gratitude ? " And now allow the to advert to that cause in which we have so often struggled together. (low often, last year, have 1 trembled when I saw the prospect of emancipation with conditions! flow often did I wish my voice could be heard across the deep, proclaiming to your meetings what 1 have seen and learned since I left you !—A people valuing freedom, and in the plenitude of its ei.joyment, de. stroying religion—nay, having nearly effected its destruction by reducing to practice here, the prin ciple which the Vetoists and Conciliators contend for amongst you. The Americans are loud in their reprobation of your servile Aristocracy,who would degrade by placing its concerns under the cont King's Minister, and could your Aristoi place-hunter view the state of Catholicity I would inveigh against the Democrats al degrade religion by placing its concerns t control of a mob; and I am pettedly that both are right. In both cases the pi exactly the same : the mode of carryiw operation is different. " I am convinced that if those gentlem Irish hierarchy, who are suspected, and I good reason, of being favourable to !RIM' rangements, had each one month's expel the operation of the principle here, their gi and their piety and zeal fur religion, wind, them to suffer every inconvenience rather tI mit the fate of the religion of millions no their charge, and myriads yet unborn, to ence of a most destructive principle, themselves and their flocks from that mittgal secution under which they still suffer. " I well recollect the solemn and emphat ings which the late venerable Bishop of (Nova Scotia), Doctor Burke, gave me subject in Cork some years since ; and which he then stated to Inc from his own ko. and experience, were irrelrsgable ■od conel against the principle.
