For several days past it has been understood that her MAJESTY would take up her residence at Brandenburgh House. From various causes her departure has been postponed, and yesterday was fixed positively for her MAJESTY to leave the Metropolis. At an early hour yesterday morning Portman street was in consequence filled with carriages and persons anxious to see her Majesty before the quitted the capital. At about 2 o'clock, the hour at which it was supposed her Majesty would take her departure, the crowd opposite the house was excessive, and loud cries of " God save the Queen, God bless her Majesty," were heard from every quarter. The Queen was graciously pleased, on two several occasions, to show herself at the balcony, and bowed condescendingly to the people. A short time after two o'clock it was understood that her Majesty had altered her determination, and, in consequence of the indisposition of Lady A. Hamilton, had postponed her visit to Branden burgh-house until Saturday next. The conse quence was, that some part of the crowd was dis persed. We understand that the carriage was actually counter-ordered, and that a person was about to be sent down to Hammersmith to post pone the preparations. At nearly three o'clock Mr. Ald. Wood arrived on horseback and was greeted with loud huzzas. Soon after his arrival / a servant was despatched to order the carriage to be got in readiness, her Majesty having deter mined not to disappoint the expectations of the inhabitants of Hammersmith. At this moment the street was completely thronged with persons, some of them of the highest respectability, anxious to pay their respects to her Majesty. Many Ladies of rank attended in their carriages, and Gentlemen on horseback awaited the appear ance of her Majesty. At length, at nearly four o'clock, her Majesty's carriage drew up to the door. It was an entirely new elegant open car riage, drawn by four beautiful bay horses ; the near leader was mounted by a postilion. The livery was scarlet, trimmed with gold lace. On the panels of the carriage was painted a crown, and underneath the letters "C. It." In about ten minutes her Majesty made her appearance at the door of her house, and was immediately handed into the carriage. Her Majesty seemed to be in high spirits, and looked remarkably well ; she was dressed in a dove-coloured pelisse, with a hat of the same colour, surmounted by a very handsome plume of white feathers. Lady Ann Hamilton next made her appearance, and was fol lowed by Dr. Lushington and Mr. Ald. Wood. Loud cries of " God save the Queen," accompa nied with shouts of approbation, filled the air. The carriage drove off at a fast trot into Oxford-street, followed by a great concourse of persons. It proceeded through the Park, and out at Kensington-gate. In consequence of a inisling rain which fell at this time, the carriage, which was previously open, was closed, and it continued shut during the remainder of the way to Hammersmith. The road was completely lined in many parts with people ; ladies were seen from every window, waving white handkerchiefs, and crying " God save the Queen." At the barracks at Kensington we observed a great number of the military join in the general shout; they took off their hats, and waved them in the air as her Ma jesty passed. When her Majesty arrived at Hammersmith the scene was extremely inte resting. All were prepared to receive her Ma jesty, anti the little charity children, dressed in their Sunday clothes, were stationed near the church, to welcome her Majesty's arri val. Before the carriage reached Hammer smith, a body of gentlemen on horseback, with white favours in their hats, came to meet her Majesty, and they were greeted with loud cheers. They accompanied the carriage until it reached Brandenburgh-house. The town of Hammer smith was completely filled, and on the arrival of the Queen the cheers were so vehement as to have a deafening effect ; guns were discharged, and the bells of the church were rung. Her Ma jesty most condescendingly bowed to the people as she passed. The carriage proceeded imme diately to Brandenburgh-house, and drove through the great gates at the grand entrance up the ave nue of trees to the front of the Mansion. Her Majesty, Lady Ann Hamilton, and Mr. Alder man Wood and Dr. Lushington, then alighted. The carriage was followed by two or three others filled with Ladies of rank, who were desirous of paying their respects to her Majesty. Her Ma jesty dined at Brandenburgh-house, and did not return yesterday evening. The town o f Ham mersmith was at night brilliantly illuminated, and fireworks were displayed.—( Th e Tintes.) Yesterday, the Earl of CHESTERFIELD, accom panied by his guardian, Mr. STANHOPE, and Mrs. STANHOPE, left town for Bradberry Hall, his Lordship's seat in Derbyshire. Lord CASTLEREAGH arrived in Town on Wed nesday, and alighted at his o ffi ce in Downing street, where his Lordship was wet by the Duke Of WELLINGTON, Earl BATHURST, Earl of LIVER.. PfrOL, Earl of llAnitowisv, Mr. WELLESLEY POLE, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. CANNING, and the Earl of WESTMORLAND. The Council sat until half-past four. Yesterday, the Right Hon. THOMAS GREN vILLE, left his house in Cleveland-square, on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of BUCK INGHAM, at their seat Buckingham Cottage, Isle of Wi g ht. Yesterday morning, about twelve o'clock, a young lad nearly met his death whilst bathing in the Thames, near Westminster-bridge.—Lieut. GILLESPIE, of the 20th Dragoons, who was pass ing near the spot, observed the boy struggling in the water, and immediately plunged in with his clothes on, and succeeded in rescuing him from a watery grave, although nearly exhausted. The current was so strong, that it was with great dif ficulty Lieut. GILLESPIE reached the shore with the boy, whose life he had so humanely sayed. INDIAN ISLAND:. We have been desired to insert the remainder of the article taken from The Morning Chronicle of yesterday, relative to the Indian Islands, as containing more unadulterated information and liberal reasoning than usually appear in that paper, which we therefore subjoin : " If we yet retrieve our errors, and become more just to ourselves, and to the people of these regions, we may still make them our customers, and confer benefits upon ourselves and them. They have not, and no people have, a prejudice against a safe and peaceful foreign intercourse— no inveterate antipathy against being made rich and comfortable, as the enemies of peace would irrationally make us think they have. Their elevated rank in the scale of social order, skews at once that they practise the arts of peace and of industry. They do not, indeed, like to be conquered, or plundered, or insulted, and so much the safer for us as well as for them. When we have guessed pretty nearly at the density of population in any particular country, and ascer tained that the existence of harbours and rivers, makes it accessible to our navigation, we have ascertained enough. Free and fair commerce will do all the rest, for it will not only conquer every peculiar prejudice of a people, but will in time accomplish the more difficult task of oblite rating the recollection of the insults and violence committed under an opposite system. " With the millions of people now alluded to, we have hardly any more intercourse than if they were the inhabitants of another planet ; for what is our petty traffic of twenty thousand tons to China, compared with the vast population and wealth of that empire, and with our spirit and our capital? The rest are a dead blank. What a strange and unaccountable perversion of all true wisdom has there not prevailed in the policy which the European nations have pursued in re gard to their Indian trade ? When COLUMBUS and DIGAMA discovered nearly about the same time the Eastern and Western hemispheres, who would have anticipated the opposite results of the connection with Europeans. The Indies we found inhabited by great and civilized nations, ready to receive our commerce with open arms. They have been estranged from us by our misconduct, and after three centuries of dirty piddling work, we leave off worse than we began. During the same time we de-populated America, and re peopled the new Continent with our own race, raising from ourselves whole nations of con sumers. Such is the obstinacy of our prejudices respecting the Indian trade, that it is from this new people we are to be instructed in true prin ciples. The Americans were the first who ever conducted an honest and useful trade with India, and the results are conspicuous enough. Their commerce with India is at present greater than that of all Europe put together, and with China in proportion to ours as 10 is to 7, and to that of the rest of Europe something like what a million is to Zero. We may say upon this with Lord BYRON, that Man's a strange animal, and makes a strange use of his own reason.' 'C But to return to our negociation. Acknow ledged errors have been committed in the uncon ditional surrender of the Indian Islands to the Dutch, and this is the time to rectify them. A vague rumour has got abroad, that the Dutch were no sooner put in possession of the vast ter ritories which we had bestowed upon them, or ganized and improved, than they began to pur sue a line of policy, the object of which was to exclude their benefactors, and to establish, by indirect means, a virtual supremacy over the whole of those vast regions. Such visionary pre tensions would remind us of the modest claims of the early Spanish or Portuguese discoverers, if they had only the sanction of a Pope's Bull ! Both hi a military and commercial point of view, stations within the Archipelago are indispens able to us, and have them we must. Whether We view tile restless ambition of the European character, or the jealous timidity and strange man ners of the barbarians or semi-barbarians of these regions, such stations afford the only means of carrying on a safe, agreeable, and extensive com merce. In a military view, they are necessary, to secure to us a safe passage through this grand hi;11-way of nations, to protect us against the Pi racy of native States, and the petty depredation of European ones. To the nation that has so victorious a navy, and a military population of 70 millions of subjects, with great financial re sources, supplying an organized force of 300,000 men, real danger is indeed quite out of the ques tion. In six short weeks the whole Dutch Em pire lit the Archipelago would fall beneath such a force without a struggle. The contest would be with a few exhausted Europeans foi• neutra lity, and surely this is all that could be expect ed from the natives. These countries indeed would, from their nature, be unconquerable against so patriotic a Government, founded in the affections of the people ; but what probability is there of seeing such a Government in that quar ter of the Globe ?" DEAT, OF THE DEAN OF HEREFORD.—On Sunday evening last, died at thy; Deanery House in this City, in the 67th year of his age, the R e GEORGE GRETTON, D. D. Vicar of Upton Bishop,l- near Ross, a Canon Residentiary, and Dean of Hereford.

He was advanced to the Deanery of Hereford on the interest of the Earl of Loss- DALE, and has uniformly b een di st i ngu i s h e d i n pr i va te life by amenity o f manners an d ki n d ness of heart, by affection towards his family, and a strict irreproachable conduct.---(HerefordJour nal; August 2.)

Instead of the whole of the regi ments being reviewed on one day, three of them, the 10th Hussars, and the 16th and 19th Lan cers, will be reviewed this day ; and the remain ing regiments, the Ist and (2d Life Guards, the Royal Blues, and the 19-th Cavalry, will be re viewed to-morrow. These splendid spectacles, it is expected, will take place in the presence of his MAJESTY, and of a numerous field of Officers of the highest distinction. The whole of the regiments have had grand field-days preparatory to their review, and on those occasions excited the warmest approbation of their Officers. The men are highly elated at the opportunity which they expect will be afforded them of signalizing themselves in the presence of their SOVEREIGN. DUEL.—A duel was fought on Wednesday morning early, in a meadow, four miles from Farnham, between a Mr. a Gentle man of fortune, in Hampshire, and Mr. R—T —D, an Half-pay Officer. .The dispute originated at a Race-ball, and this was the first of their meet ing. Mr. E. was wounded past recovery, on the right side, and the ball could not be extracted ; but he was alive yesterday morning. A family dispute was the first cause of disagreement. Colts-EXCHANGE, AUG. 4.—ln consequence of the unsettled state of the weather, higher prices were asked for Wheat this morning, and an advance of c2s. per quarter was obtained for superfine samples, and all other descriptions sold more freely at Wednesday's prices ; Oats fully support Monday's prices, although the arrivals have been considerable this week ; in Beans, Peas, and other articles, there is no alteration. SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUG. 4.—There was but a small supply of Beef at Market this morn ing, but in Sheep and Lamb the supply was good; Mutton and Lamb of best quality obtained last Market-day's prices, but the inferior sorts were rather lower ; Veal anti Pork also the same in price as on Monday. No alteration in the prices of flay, Straw, and Clover. SHEEP Or IMPROVED BREEDS.-We understand that the Rev. W. CORNFOR.TII, Rector of Long Stanton, has been at considerable trouble and risque in bringing up from the county of Dur ham four lambs of the two most approved breeds of that famous county—a male and female im proved Tees-Water, and a male and- female of Air. CULLY'S improvement. We sincerely hope the Gentleman may succeed in his endeavours to improve the breeds of this county.—(Cambridge Chronicle.) SUICIDE.-On Wednesday, about two o'clock, a young woman threw herself into the Regent's Canal, at that part which crosses Kingsland-road ; she had tied her fore-fingers together with a piece of black ribbon, which prevented her using any means to extricate herself. A labouring man, who was passing at the time, jumped into the water, he dived without suc cess ; they then fetched the drags, when she was taken out quite dead, after having been in the water upwards of 20 minutes.—The body was taken to the King's-head public-house for a Co roner's Inquest.
