GENTDEMEN-The name by which I have ad dressed you, is one which you have—l will not say arrogated to—but which you have so iden qfled with yourselves, that you must be content to bear the responsibility whilst you claim the honour of it. I - Shall therefore, as a plain man, ask you one or two plain questions. Do you, or du you not, still consider yourselves as her MAJEiTY'S Legal Advisers ? If you do, are you prepared to justify what is now put forth as her MAjEiTy's proceedings and sentiments, whilst you are pursuing your profes sional labours on the County Circuits ? If these things are against your advice, or in opposition to your opinions, why do you not manfully step forward and say so ? If these things are against your advice and opi- nion, will you dare to justify, or to support, or to whiteK•ash them, when the affair comes before the proper tribunal? If these things are against your advice, —if • CO BBETT, if Woon, and others, rule the roast in her 111 Y'S confidence, in direct opposition to your counsel, —do you believe the world will consider you as independent men in still retain ing your official, I may say ministerial, situa- .ous ? Do you believe thUt the mere calling her MA JESTY " Your Client," will get over the diffi culty in regard to your official and confidential connection with that Illustrious Personage ; and that, in doing So, you avoid all moral, personal and political responsibility, just as in a common cause of mewh and thum or in a common case o: High Treason, where you may defend the indi vidual, even whilst you believe that individual to be guilty ? If you can do these things, you have stronger nerves than I suppose you to possess f you will not do these things, why do you not at once step forward and say so.? I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your .admirer, but not your disciple, lUNOTUS. THE LATE DUCHE S S OF YORK.—It will be seen by our extracts given in another part of our Pa per, that Court Mourning (no General Mourning is mentioned) commences on Sunday next, and will continue for a fortnight. There will be two changes in the following week : and the Court will go entirely out of Mourning on the 3d of September. The following Letter has been addressed by S. R. Ll_ SHINGTON, Esti. one of the worthy Re presentatives of Canterbury in Parliament, to Alderman COOPER, the Chairman of the Common Hall, held in that City, on the 21st ult., assigning his reason for declining to present the Address to the Queen, voted upon that occasion : London, 2d August, 1820. , c SIR—My anxiety to comply with the wishes of my constituents, makes it painful to me refuse the public request of any part of them ; but it is a great 'satisfac tion to me, on this occasion, to feel, as I do - , thoroughly convinced, that the great majority of them will agree in my opinion, that their Representatives ought not, di rectly or indirectly, to appear to prejudice a question of the greatest importance, on which . they- may Is here after called upon to form a solemn and impartial judgment, - whilst they are necessarily ignorant of all the evidence, upon which a just judgment can alone be founded. " I remain, Sir, &c S. B. LUSHINGTON." " To Mr, Alderman Cooper." Lord CLIFTON, the other Representative for that city, has declined presenting the Address on similar grounds. CORON'ER'S INQUEST. --Yesterday evening, an Inquest was held at the Savoy Palace, Pithlie-house, befit e A: GEL L, Esq. on the body of r. female Infant, to whom the 'Nurse had given some vitt io!, instead of the proper medicine. The infant was the daughter of Mary, wife of T. Wells, a jour- • neyinan glazier. It r.ppeared on the examination, that the mother and father had been to the English Opera House, but that she had left the child under the care of two wonien• The husband left the Theatre at. eight o'clock, in order to look after the child, and found all well. A shirt time after, the mother quitted the Theatre to give the child the nutriment of the breast, and had the misery of finding what calaMity had happened. Mr. STANTON, Surgeon, in the Strand, was im mediately applied to on the melancholy occasion. He at tended the deceased with great assiduity, and had prolonged that life is hieh could not he finally preserved. It w'is evi dent that though the Mother had indulged herself in a public , amusement, alter much labour and' anxiety, Yet, that she had taken due care of her Child. The Foreman of the Juty, probably with the view of eliciting the truth, treated the afflicted motto r with some degree of harshness during the examination,.for giiing to a playhouse, though she had provided two persons, one of them its nurse, to take care of the child during her absence. He was answered with a very humane remon•trance by Mr. By ruiEss, of the Strand, aunt hef of the Jury. who observed, that he iga.s a parent him self, but was willing 'to let his servants occasionally enjoy the relaxation . of a Theatre, and the majority of the Jury ex pressed the same liberal feelings.—Th e Verdict, we under stand, was in s ubstance,—.Xecident al Death, by the care lessness of the Nurse, in administering Vitri o l i ns t ea d a t t h e proper l'iledicine.---The Mother is a Servant at Ties: SUN ("FlcEertiiiiutil'ieeeSteilatiLd,' so that she was but at a ve r y st ou t dis tance and had intended to visit it (Intim: every intereal of the performances.-- 7 The Mother was charged fourpence each for the twelve Jurymen, besides other inci dental expences, amounting to thirteen Shillings and six- 1 pvics!i..

JOHN BARROW. Yesterday Mr. Mates, the King's Messenger, was dispatched from the. Foreign Office, with letters to Ilamburg - h and other foreign parts, with the melancholy tidings of the demise of the late beloved Duchess of York. The Earl of Liverpool came to town yesterday morning from Comb-Wood,and, after transacting busin&ss at the Treasury, went to York House, and had a long interview with the Duke of York, previous to his returning to Comb-Wood. The Princess Sophia visited the Duke of York yesterday ; and all the Branches of the Royal Family sent to make their affectionate inquiries. York House was thronged with inquirers df all ranks yesterday. Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, left town yesterday, about two o'clock, for Oat lands, to make arrangements for the Funeral of her late Royal Highness. Messrs. Bayley and Sanders are appointed the Royal Undertakers to conduct the Funeral. — Yesterday Mr. Bayley, and Mr. Chittendon, his Assistant, left town for Oatlands, to give direc tions respecting the approaching Funeral. It is understood the Funeral will be as private as possible. Et was not finally determined last night whether it was to be at Windsor or Wey bridge. At the latter place, it is said, her late Royal Highness had a vault built about 20 years since, under her own immediate direction and superintendance. ' The ceremony, it is said, will take place on Monday next, previous to which the body will lie in state, in the mansion at Oatlands, for one, or perhaps two days ; but the admissions to the mournful spectacle will be very limited. Yesterday morning the band of the Third Re giment of Foot Guards, including drums and fifes, marched with the mounting guard, from'the Parade in St. James's Palace to the King's Pa lace, in solemn silence, in consequence of the de mise of the Duchess of York. Yesterday afternoon his. Serene Highness the Prince of LEINENGEN (the only son of the Duchess of KENT) arrived at Kensington-PalaCe, from Dover, accompanied by Capt. CoNnoy and his suite. • "Ills Royal Highness the Duke of f proposes to return to his Government in Ilano. ver, immediately after the funeral of his lament ed relative, the late Duchess of Y ORK . Tho Deputies from the lonian Islands, with an Address to the KING on his Acces:ion to the Throne, left Warren's Hotel yesterday, on their return to Corfu, attended by Colonel. RAur. The house in IVhite Lion-street, Seven Dials, which caused so much alarm a short time ago by giving way, has been surveyed, and also the :even adjoining dwellings, the whole of which were found in so dangerous a state,.that they are immediately to be taken down. It seems that t h e y were built early in the reign of WILLIAM - and MARY. SHIP NEWS. LivEnroor.,.AuG.

SOUTHWARK, AUGUST 7.—We are doing little or nothing in Hops (just) now, 'although the ac counts from the plantations come so bad and the Duty is down to 70,00/. —No one seems to have spirit enough to purchase.' MArnsTox - r., AUG. 7.—The weather for some days past has been extremely unfavourable for the Hops, and in most of the grounds, the vermin and wet has occasioned the plant to turn black. In the Weald of Kent and Sussex we learn they are even much worse, and on an average not above a bag an acre is expected to be grown in those parts. APPREHENSION OF WADDlsoToN.—Yesterday had been arranged, that the Address voted •to her Majesty was to be taken by various trades men and artisans, to be presented at Branden burgh House. However, her Majesty's intention of not receiving Addresses being made known, (in consequence of the death of the Duchess of York), it was deferred, and Waddington the Radical, was seen at an early hour on Holborn hill, (the place appointed for the procession to meet) with a large placard, announcing that the procession was postponed. He was now taken to St. Andrew's watch-house, and confined some time, but was afterwards sent out without his placard or pole, when he persisted in having it, or being taken before a Magistrate. -The otecers were about to take him to Guildhall, when the confusion excited the attention of Alderman Wool), who interfered, and the Radical hero was liberated, on the officers being told that they were not acting legally. It is the intention of Waddiugton to proceed against the parties for detaining property (his pole and placard) which does not belong to them. Letters from Copenhagen, received by the Dutch mail, annourne the failure of Messis. , MEVER and THEY' ER, the well-known bankers in that city, whose operations in loans with foreign Governments have equalled those of any other House on the Continent. The immediate cause of this calamity is said to be the having engaged in extensive shipments to India and China, on which, from the glutted state of those markets, loss of 50 Per cent. was sustained. The failure, which is for about 200,0001. sterling, will be felt in several other cities, but more particularly 'at Hamburgh. The officers of the Cavalry Depot, Maid€tone, gave' an elegant Ball and Supper on Tuesday evening, at the New Assembly lloonis, to nearly 200 fashionables of that town and neigbourhood. The entrance hall was lined with lancers, each bearing his lance and flag, which had a beautiful and novel effect. Dancing commenced about fen o'clock; and was kept up with much spirit till a late hour. Mr. HARRIS has 'purchased the premise 'in Hawkins's-street, Dublin, late the property of the Dublin Society, as the site for building' his new Theatre in that city. A great discovery has .been made in geography by Mr. SMITH, master of the William, of Blythe, in Northumberland. In his passage round Cape Horn, he discovered a Southern or Antarctic Continent, which he took . possession of, and named New South Shetland. Mr. SiIITIT coasted it for 2or 300 miles.
