SPITALFIEDS' WEAVERS. On Friday night a general illumination took Place among the weavers and their neighbours, in Spitalfields and Bethnal-green, in consequence of the Bill being thrown out by the Commons. Church-street, Bethnal-green, was completely choked up by the assembled multitude, so as to prevent carriages having a thoroughfare ; blue ribands were worn by numbers, and most of the weavers had flags of manufactured silk displayed from their windows. The bonfires, fire-works, and ringing of bells, were as general as if some great national victory had been obtained, and many houses were decorated with variegated lamps. An immense number of copies of the following bill was given away and post ed at the shop windows of tradesmen : " Success and prosperity to the Journeymen Weavers, and their families ; likewise to the Houses of Lords and Commons, and may they always do as much justice to every trades man, as theyhave done to the Journeymen Weavers." Thejoy'that was depicted in the countenance of men and women, may be more easily conceived than described. Saturday morning the bells commenced ringing, and large gags were suspended across the streets. At the windows of nearly all the Weavers were smaller flags of variegated colours, wove into different shapes, which had a most excellent effect.— The following bill was posted round the neighbourhood:— " The Journeymen Silk Weavers of Spitalfields, and its vicinity, return their sincere thanks to the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Honourable the House of Commons, for their justice and humanity towards them on the glorious 'lBth of July, 1823.—G0D save the King." Signed by the Trade Committee and the two Secretaries. THE POPE. ROME, JULY B.—r hasten to transmit to you the circum stantial details of the deplorable accident which happened to the Pope on the evening of the 6th.instant. The Holy Father had taken an airing in a carriage, and had Walked as usual. He had dismissed his servants, and after conversing with his Auditor remained alone at ten o'clock. His Holiness attempted to rise from his chair, leaning one hand upon his bureau, and with the other endeavouring to reach a rope attached to the wall tbr that purpose. The Holy Father having raised himself could not reach the rope, and he fell upon the marble floor between the table and the chair. His head did not strike against the marble, his left side bearing all the weight of the fall. On hearin; his cries he was taken up . and conveyed to bed ; some convulsive move ments were perceived, arising from the violence of the fall. At the first visit . the surgeons stated that the shoulder-bone was broken. The Faculty assembled yesterday morning con. firmed this opinion. He passed a restless night, but without fever, and his pulse nearly natural. His Holiness is ignorant of his situation; and no one has told him of the fracture. Cardinal Gorizalvi has not quitted the Pope's bedside except fora few minutes. The persons who are about his Holiness feel themselves much embarrassed, because being ignorant of his real state he conti nually manifests his repugnance to remain in bed. It is singular that this accident should happen on the anni versary of the fatal night of the 6th and 7th J uly, 11106, when he was carried off. Fever manifested itself last night, anti the general report in Rome is, that the Pope is in the greatest danger. ENGLISH OPERA Ilouss.—The public are in debted to the Proprietor of this Theatre for having introduced many performers of both sexes to the London Stage, who have risen to well merited reputation, and are standing ornaments of its boards. On Saturday he added to the number of good actors Mr. RAYNER, who, we presume, has been strongly recommended by pro vincial celebrity. Mr. RAYNER came forward in the part of Giles in the very interesting Drama entitled The Miller's Maid, and, with a full recollection of the merit of poor EMERY in this character, it is but just to acknowledge that Mr. RAYNER supported the part with great feeling and ability. It is not to be supposed that he did not feel somewhat embarrassed in ap pearing before a London tribunal ,for the first time, in a character that seemed to be identified with the deceased favourite of the public, but Mr. RAYNER displayed such merit as well entitled him to the warm and reiterated applause of a very numerous audience, and he will doubtless appear to still more advantage on hisnext performance. Miss KELLY'S personation of the Miller's Maid is so admirably recommended by feeling, simplicity, and truth of character, as powerfully to operate upon the audience and fully justify their warmest appro bation. Letters by the last Peteriburgh mail mention the failure of several Russian houses at Moscow. The Poor-rate in the parish of Holy Cross and . St. Giles, in the town of Shrewsbury, is now is. 6d. in the pound, being less than it has been - for the last fiftryears. We have very great pleasure in .stating, upon the authority of an intelligent Gentleman con ', versant with agriculture, who .has just returned from a tour through Warwickshire, Gloucester shire, Worcestershire, and Herefordshire, that there is every prospect of an abundant harvest in • those counties, and that the orchards wear not a _less promising appearance than the corn fields. — (Coventry Herald.) ACCIDENT 'fly DROWNlNa.—YeSterday even ing, is three young men were in a boat opposite Cumberland Gardens, one of them undressed hirnself . for the purpose of bathing, and leaped from the boat into the river, where he had only • been a minute or two before he sunk. One 'of • his companions, observing his perilous situation, instantly leaped into the water with his Clothes on to render him assistance , without effect, as he never rose ngain, and be. narrowly escaped 'a similar fate. The body was soon after dragged for, and found about two hours afterwards. The deceased was a promising oung man, and, we hear, one of the dancers at Vauxhall Gardens: ExEcDriort.—This morning the last awful sentence of the law was carried into effect, at New gate, upon Samuel William Miles, aged 19, for uttering forged notes ; John Welford, for a burglary at Vauxhall; and Robert Roe,' for the extensive burglary in the house of Mr. Donovan, Oxford-street.—Since the conviction of these wretched men they all have demeaned them selves becoming their awful situation, and on the arrival of the warrant of execution they seriously resorted to prayer and meditation, and, with the assistance of the Rev. Mr. COTTON and Mr. flAtcsa, became perfeCtly resigned and penitent. The culprit Miles entertained hopes of a respite, 'but, unfortunately for him, he was found to be un. worthy the Royal clemency. This morning, at half-past seven o'clock, Messrs. TuoMesoN and LvcAe l the Sheriffs, with their attendants, ar . rived at the prison, and proceeded to the Press , - yard, where the wretched, men were severally introduced and disencumbered of their irons.— Welford and Roe appeared calm,, resigned, and collected • Miles cried bitterly, but became more Composed by eight o'clock. The preparations being complete they were led to the scaffold, and in a few m i nu t e s in the midst otprayer, the drop s Igtiuld th ey were launched into eternity. THE KING'S AQUATIC EXCURSIONS. PORTSMOUTII, JULY 19.—We understand his MAJESTY will not defer his intention of embarking on his aquatic excur sions beyond the 3d of next month. The Royal yichts, Royal George (Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir C. Paget), Royal Sove reign, and Prince Regent (which are quite ready for the recep don of his Majesty and distinguished attendants), we under stand, will proceed on a short cruise on Monday morning. It is expected the Hussar, Rifleman, and Camelion, will form a part of the Royal squadron. THE ARGYLL FETE. (Fu RTHIR PARTICULARS.)—The Marquises of Hertford and Exeter; the Earls of Fife and Glengall ; Lord Brudenell; Hon. Mr. Petre, Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Quen tin Dick, Mr. Lane Fox, and Mr. Mills, gave this splendid entertainment. Need we add that there has not been a better conducted thing of the kind during the last twenty years. Could we find time and space, we might attempt to give a faint outline of the happy train of irony introduced. But we must content ourselves with briefly mentioning a few of the characters : Lords Gl.ngall and Alvanley, Mr. Raikes and Lord Arthur Dill, went as the Patronesses of Almack's—Mr. Barnard as a French Gentleman of the old school—Lady Ataryborough and Mr. George Seymour, as Old Ladies ; very good — The Duke of Wellington, in a D omino,' closely masked—Captain M., A Girl in leading strings ; A 31omus—A Sailor—A, Burlesque Apollo—Three Dumb Lawyers, and a. Ilerlin. The Noble Castilians present (we meanhhose who personi fied the character) were not only dressed in a style of surprising magnificence, but they also supported their parts with a dignity so _peculiar to that nation. It is of' course superfluous to observe, that the entertainment of the night was conducted with all the delicacy anti decorum of the most refined manners, enlivened with all the combined effect of wit, taste, sentiment, and fancy, exerted to the utmost stretch, and devoted to the pleasure of pleasing. It was half-past six o'clock in the morning ere the company departed. • It may not be amiss to repeat that this Fete was given by the above ten Noblemen and:Gentlemen in a style of princely munificence. Lord Hertford was dressed as Lord Strafford on the day previous to his execution, and not as Lord Stanley. This splendid fete is intended to be annual, as an encourage ment to trade and manufactures. We are confident that it has been the cause of upwards of 5,000/. being . put in circulation in the short space of a few days--thus combining innocent amuse ment and recreation with employment for the tradesman and the artist.

Saturday being the day appointed for laying the foundation stone of the above Institution, situate in the Waterloo-road, shortly after one o'clock, notwithstanding the rain that fell, a scene presented itself the most gratifying to the philanthropist and humane. A temporary awning was erected for the accom modation of the Ladies and friends of the Establishment, which was completely thronged. About half.past one the procession arrived on the bridge, pre. ceded by a band Of music,and immediately every eye was direeteti towards the spot. The band having arrived at the site of the in tended building, awaited the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, which took place at a quarter past two. Theb and immediately struck up " Ood save the King," and an add!. tional flag was hoisted, making in the whole four, including the large one belonging to the Amiralty. The Committee led the way, and his Royal Highness having arrived at the stone, Dr. J. B. Davis addressed him, in the course of which he stated, that 41,411 c hildren had been ad mitted, out of which number 38,15.5 had been cured and re lieved, 003 had died, 1,393 had been Vaccinated, and there re mained at this time 1,060 on the books a nd under cure. Mr. Alderman Garratt having made a few most pertinent remarks, the Rector of Lambeth gave a short prayer. After this had been concluded, and whilst the upper stone was raising, the band struck up (Glorious Apollo.) A glass-bottle, hermetically sealed, containing a book of the Charity, with its regulations, its high patronage (his MAJESTY) the name of every subscriber and contributor, the glass vase containing the coins of the present reign, and a glass plate bearing the inscription of the origin of the Charity and the pre. sent proceeding", were then placed in the cavity. The usual practice of placing the mortar with a silver trowel, &c., follow ed, and the band played the " Hallelujah Chorus," His Royal Highness's health was then given with three times three, and the company retired amidst the loud and repeated cheers of those assembled, and who lined every point likely to obtain a view of the interesting ceremony. We are happy to add, the whole passed oft without the slightest accident. Count VON LEMBERT has lately been ap pointed Minister for Foreign Commerce at St. Petersburgb, in the room of M. DE OBRESKOW. .The new appointment, it is said, has given the greatest satisfaction to the trading world in the Russian Capital.

RAMSOATE4 JULY 19.---On Thursday lasi, the 17th instant, the Directors of the Royal Harbonr came down from London to make their usual annual visitation, to inspect the works and improveinents,. and to transact the necessary business of the Ilorbour. This being the Anniversary of the Coronation of our gracious Sovereign, who so kindly con descended to give the preference to this commodious port for his embarkation to and return from his Continental do minions, and the Obelisk which has been erected ,by the individual subscription 'of the inhabitants and visitors of this place and the Trustees of the Harbour, being complet ed, advantage was taken of this coincidence of circum stances to throw it open for public Inspection. At a very early hour the top-stone was placed, and before twelve o'clock the whole of the scaffolding and machinery were removed, and one of the most simple and elegant models of ancient art displayed which we think have ever graced our public tri butes, either to Majesty or to any of our most illustrious countrymen. The Obelisk is a tine specimen of the Heytor (Devonshire) granite, wrought in a masterly manner, under the superintendence of Mr. Watson, Master Mason of the Pier, and is composed of six stones, exclusive of the base, weighing from 10 to 12 tons each, which were raised and set in their place with the greatest facility by means of a very simple and inge nious piece of machinery, which we believe, was the invention of Mr. Trubshaw, of Hayward in Staffordshire. This beauti ful public Monument is fifty feet in height, exclusive of the base, which is 2 feet 6 inches, and is of the exact proportions of the largest of the two great obelisks at the entrance of the ancient city of Thebes, now Luxor in Egypt, the largest and most perfect known to exist, and is two-thirds the size of that cele brated work of antiquity. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Shaw, of °ewer-street, the architect of this harbour and Christ's hospital, for the chaste and appropriate manner in which he hes adopted and followed this perfect model. We may Artily pro nounce it a masterpiece of its kind, and it will descend to posterity a splendid record of the taste of the architect, and of the gra titude of the subscribers. 'There are two inscriptions on the Obelisk, cut into the granite : one in English, and one in Latin. The English inscription faces the sea, and the Latin one the gate at the N.E. entrance of the pier. The following is a copy of them : To GEORGE THE FOURTH, King of Great Britain. and Ireland, The Inhabitants and Visitors of Ramsgate, and the Directors and Trustees of the Harbour, have erected this OBELISK, as a grateful record of His Majesty's gracious condescension in selecting this Port for his Embarkation on the 24th of September, In progress to His Kingdom. of Hanover, and His happy return on the tith of November, 1821.

At one o'clock the guns tired a royal salute, all the colours of the town and harbour were hoisted, end o ther:demonstrations of loyalty and joy exhibited on the occasion ; and In the afternoon there was a grand dinner at the' lbion, which was attended by a very numerous assembly of the inhabitants and others. 3lany loyal and appropriate toasts were given, and the evening was spent in the utmost conviviality. V ALLEGED MURDER OF Mas. CUAMUERLAYNE. —Rock was again brought up on Saturday to Union Hall Office, and all the former witnesses were in attendance. The only witness examined was Mary Towers, who stated, that she was at work in a garden next to Rock's invitees, on Wednesday last, between eleven and t we l ve o'clock. She addressed Rock, and asked him how did he expect to get over the business, meaning the accusation of having murdered Mrs. Chamberlayne. Rock replied, " There is no thing to fear ; who is there to harm me 1" some fu r ther conversation on the su b j ect too k place, in which Rock told her that he had lifted Mrs. Chamberlayne from the floor , and p lace d her in a chair, before he had me ntioned an y th ing of the state in which she was to any bodYe—Rock positively denied this part of the witness's state ment.—The Magistrates after some deliber a ti on committed Rock for trial a t the ensuin g Assizes; which commences at Croy don this da y ; a nd all the witnesses who had been examined were bound over to prosecute. price of ,ihe TIM material during the last nine mo n th s i s ~ cot A to s n a m P a r n m u f f a o c f tu t r h e e s, Th e e e a a d se v 4 a n p ce ro i s n pe t Irtis:y of one above 30,per cent.; notwithstanding, the quan. tity imported has exceeded that of the same period during the last year by nearly one fourth. (Glasgow Paper.) THE ARMY. On Saturday last the members of the Hon. East India Company's artillery met at the Armoury-house, to commemorate the anniversary of the Coronation of his MA. JEST Y GEORGE IV. The corps, on this occasion, were ho noured with the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, who entered the Artillery-ground at about 4 o'clock, under a royal salute. The company then went through their various evolutions before his Royal Highness,. who expressed himself highly pleased with th e order and discipline which they exhibited, and seemed peculiarly delighted with the activity of the rifle corps. An elegant dinner had been provided on the occasion, and soon after live o'clock the company sat down,'lris Royal Highness in the Chair. After the cloth was drawn, his Majesty's health, on beirg proposed by the Illastrious Chair man, was received and drunk with enthusiastic plaudits. Se veral other appropriate toasts succeeded, and the convivialities of the evening were procrastinated until an advanced hour.

Porter, arrived from Valparaiso and Rio Janeiro, bringing upwards of a million of dollars, the property of merchants. She left the former port Feb. 7, and RID the 30th of May. Thelollowing is an extract from a letter we have received, 'dated Raids, May 25: The Portuguese fleet sailed this morning : a fine corvette was added to their number. Lord Cochrane was close off the . port yesterday, with seven sail; he is not strong enough to risk a general action ; but I understand, Don Felix, the Portuguese Commodore, has sailed with the determination of bringing affairs to a crisis. He was superseded by (ieneral Madeira, Generallissiino of the Brazils, but the seamen of the squadron would not allow him to be sent on shore. The mer chants here are shipping their goods and treasure, very fast, for security. This shows that they are apprehensive of a general attack on the town. Many inhabitants have died from want. There is nothing in the shape of bread to be had. A few weeks, perhaps a few days, will decide the contest. The Tar tar has the broad pendant of Sir Thomas Hardy. The Creole is gone to Rio for provisions ; she returns here in about a month. The Doris is also at Rio, refitting, to return to this port when ready. The Fly is gone round the Horn. The Tartar, Bra zen, and Beaver, are at Bahia. Round the horn--Aurora and Blossom. Alacrity, perhaps at Rio: she proceeds to England immediately with freight. The Tartar or Briton (daily ex pected to arrive front 'England) Will relieve the Aurora about October next. The following is an extract from a letter written by an Off;.
