THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPT. 13.—His MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge yesterday afternoon at a little before two o'clock, in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham, and drove himself by Cumberland Lodge, and through the new Plantations to Virginia Water. His Majesty immediately on his arrival embarked on board his pleasure-boat, and com menced fishing, which amusement he continued with consider able success (as the lake abounds with a multitude of fish) until after six o'clock, when his Majesty mounted his phaeton and drove back to the Lodge to dinner. The weather being unfavourable, his Majesty is not expected to leave the Royal Lodge this afternoon. Considerable alterations are about to be commenced at Cumberland Lodge with regard to its domestic convenience, which is at present too small for the comfort of his Majesty's visitants and their attendants, during their sojourn at the Royal Lodge.

We learn that he was delighted with his Irish tour, and is in most perfect health.—(Edinburgh Journal.) The Right Hon. George Canning on Friday passed through this town (Kendal) on his return to town from Storrs Hall. We are glad-to observe a great improvement in Mr. Canning's appearance since he paid Mr. Bolton his visit. We- under stand he has been a visiter to all the romantic scenery about Windermere, Rydal, Grasmere, Langdale, and the neighbour hood. His presence was expected, at the annual Book Club meeting here on Wednesday, but ho paid a visit that day to the venerable ruins of Furness Abbey, which are now in a state of great restoration through the liberal and tasteful care of Lord George Cavendish, the proprietor.—( Kendal chronicle.) AlutAcAs is the chief town of Arracan, a pro vince of the Burmese empire. It is situated in lat. 20. 40. N. and long. 93. 5. E.-." This town and fort," says Symes, " were taken by the Bur mans in 1783, after a feeble resistance. They found a considerable booty, but on [waling was a higher value placed than an image of Guadma, (the Guatama of the Ilindoos, a name of Buddha), made of brass, and highly burnished. The figure is about 10 feet high, and in the customary sitting posture, with the, legs crossed and in verted, the left-hand resting on the lap, the right pendent. This image is believed to be the ori ginal resemblance of the Reeshe (saint) taken from life, and it. is so highly venerated, that pilgrims have for centuries been accustomed to come from the remotest countries, where the supremacy of Gaudma is acknowledged, to pay their devotions at the feet of his brazen representative. There were also five images of Raeshyas, the demons of the Ilindoos, of the same metal, and of gigantic stature, the guardians of the sanctuary. A sin. gular piece of ordnance, of most enormous dimen sions, was also found, composed of huge bars of iron, beaten into form. This ponderous cannon measured 30 feet in length, two and a half in diameter at the mouth, and 10 inches in the ca libre. It was transported by the Birmans to Urn merapoora by water, as a military trophy, and Gaudma, with his infernal guards, were, in like manner, conveyed to the capital with much pomp and superstitious parade." NEWSPAPERS.---it is, perhaps, not generally understood, that from and after the 10th of next month, when the act for the regulation of the con veyance of newspapers to and from the British settlements takes place, every paper and printed list of shipping from the United States of Ame rica, and from any place not a British colony, sent by packets or merchant vessels, and for warded through the Post-office, will be subject to the same rate of postage as a single letter. The charge of three-halfpence out, and three. pence home, on newspapers applies only to the British colonies, and if forwarded by the regular Post-office packets. o f M r . W EL - We regret to stat e th a t th e L a dy LESLEY POLE LONG WELLESLEY departkl this life on Monday morning, about eleven o'clock, at Richmond. For some time she had been much indisposed, and under the direction of her medi cal advisers, went about eight days since to reside at Richmond-hill, where she was attended by Sir D. DoNnAs. On Friday she was able to walk out, and ber death on Monday was some what sudden. On Saturday night Colonel BERKELEY and the Fashionable Amateurs, performed at the Chel. tenharn Theatre, in a A Bold Stroke for a Hus band, and Rochester, for the benefit of Mrs. YATES.

ENGLIXII AND FRENCIJ RIVALRY.—Upon an occasion when the English, French, and Aus trian Ambassadors happened to meet at Ve i nice, a discussion arose between the two first, upon which of their countries could produce the most delicate and highly finished piece of work manship. A wager was laid, and the Austrian Ambassador was requested to act as umpire. The day at length arrived when the productions of England and France were to be produced. The Austrian Envoy gave a dinner, to which he in vited not only the competitors, but several per . - sons of the higJlest distinction to witness the decision of the wager., The Frenchman ex hibited a sword, the hilt of which was of such exquisite and delicate workmanship, that all present decided it could not be surpass ed, nor were they disposed to alter their opinions, when the Englishman simply produced a very small and fine needle. The specimen was hand ed round, and a vote in favour of the sword about to be passed, when to the surprize of the whole party, the Englishman unscrewed the top of the needle, and drew from within it another, as completely fashioned and finished, as that which had served it for a case. The wager was ultimately decided in favour of England. QUEEN ELIZABETH.—This Princess, after ob serving the various feats of Villa Mediana (a Spanish Nobleman) in a tournament, said to him that she wished to know who was his mistress. The Spaniard desired to be excused from telling, but the Queen being absolute, he promised to send her his mistress's picture. The next day the Queen received a small packet inclosing a looking-glass, which at once gratified her cu riosity and her vanity. THE CHURCH MIL T ITAN.- 7 uring the severe 1 action fought between, his ' • 'esty's ship the _,.. lit Lion and a French 74, in the reign of GEORGE 11., the Captain of marines deserted his charge, when the Rev. Mr. LEACH, the Chaplain, bravely put himself at the head of that corps, rallied them thrice on the poop of that ship, and encou raged them to behave like Englishmen, till he was shot dead upon the spot. The Captain of marines was afterwards sentenced to be shot for cowardice. He was pulled from under a large bag of hay, with one of his corporals by him, by some-midshipmen, at the close of the action. COURT or FRANCE.—CHAMBERS, in his Tradi tions of Edinburgh, lately published, gives•.the following curious account of the Court of France above a century ago, written by William Mit chell, a crazed white iron smith, who lived in a cellar al, the Bow-head, and occasionally held forth as an orator or preacher, besides being the poetical contemporary of Allan Ramsay : " The King's Court is six times bigger than.the King of Britain's his guards have all feathers in their hats, and their horse-tails are to their heels, and their King is one of the best favoured hoys that you can look upon—blythe-like,•with black hair ; and all his people are better natured in general than the Scots or English, except the priests. '!'heir women seem to Le modest, for they have no fardingales. The greatest wonder I saw in France was to see the braw people fall down on their knees on the ctarty ground, when the priest comes by, carrying the cross, to give a sick person the tacrament." TA I.MA..—The following is the account of the first appearance in which '!'alma distinguished himself as a superior actor : .. __ ...... ... " CHARLES IX., a Tragedy, by Chenier, was received, and ordered to be put in rehearsal. The author carried the principal part to Saiiffd, the tragic despot of his day. In a week after, on Chenier's waiting with the humility of a French dramatist on the stage monarch, the part wasreturned to him, with the added Sneer, that if the author was dei.ermined on having it played, possibly young Telma would do it quite well enough.' Chenier was angry, but he had watched '!'alma's performance, and he took Sainful at his word ; Talma accepted the character with delight. The boldness of the attempt fixed the whole gaze of Parisian criticism upon him; and this was equivalent to the whole gaze of Paris. Telma, who naturally felt that fate and fortune hung upon the night, studied his character with his en tire soul. His taste in dress had been remarked by the audience, but on this eventful night, he exceeded himself and all that had been seen on the stage, in fidelity and effect of costume. The old amateurs of the Parisian 'Theatre, to whom a debut or a disgrace was the only theme that seemed worthy of the human tongue, talk to this hour of the splendid illusion of Talma's Charles; dress, attitude, gesture, even face, so struck them with the force of reality. It was Charles himself walking down from his pedestal or his picture; or rather, as they ex claimed, risen from his tomb ! The tragedy triumphed, and the fame of the actor was sealed. His reputation now grew rapidly ; he was, in spite of ordonnances, in the first r a nk of his profession. The wits said that he . had " cleared Sainful without touching him in the leap,•' and his performance of Othello placed him at the height, from which he has never des cended a step." MUNDEN, THE ACT° R.—Every body has heard of our favourite MUNDEN'S daily apothegm, 46 Charity begins at home." JOE, as it is pretty well known, was once at a dinner party placed behind a haunch of venison, and requested to carve it. 66 Really, Gentlemen," said he, " I do declare I know very little about table anatomy; I dare say now there's some particular cut in a haunch— some favouritebon-morceau—l dare say there is— but I assure ye 1 are quite ignorant where to prick for it." A dozen knives instantly started from the cloth, amlMuNnuat was instruct ed where the rich'meat lay ? JOE uttered a whole string of thanks, .worked out the prime slice, loaded it with rich sauce and jelly, and then, with the plate in . his hand, looked through his glasses round the table. Every mouth watered, every hand was ready, every tooth prepared. " Really, gentlemen," said the Comedian, I wish I could please you all ; but, d—n it, if I give the tit-bit to one, I shall offend the rest ;so egad !" added he, pushing the dish from him, " I'll keep it myself, and let every gentleman help himself to what he likes best." GENEROSITY OF MARSHAL Tv ItENNE.—The deputies of a great metropolis in Germany once offered the great Turenne 100,000 crowns not to pass with his army through their city. 46 Gen tlemen," said he, " I cannot in conscience accept your money, as I had no intention to pass that way." Mr. SINCLAIR has been displaying, with great success, his fine vocal powers at Southampton and engagement for a few n i g ht s a t \thVeeYlamtt°eurtih Isisplace, terminated last Friday evening, being for his own benefit. His songs in the dif ferent pieces selected, were rapturously applaud. ed by a most brilliant and crowded audience. POETRY. THE WATCHMAN'S SONG. [The Watchmen in Germany amuse themselves during the night by singing their national songs, as well as others of a more devotional character ; of the latter the following is a spe• cimen, taken from the very interesting work, the "Autunzn of the Rhine."—When the voices are goort, which is frequently a le case, the effect is solemn and pleasing Hark, ye neighbours, and hear me tell— Ten now strikes on the belfry bell ! Ten arc the Holy Commandments given To man below—from God in Heaven. Human watch from harm can't ward us—. God will watch and God will guard us; lie, through his eternal might, Give us all a blessed night ! Hark, ye neighbours, and hear me tell— Eleven sounds on the belfry bell ! Eleven Apostles of holy mind, Taught the Gospel to mankind. Human watch, &c. Hark, ye neighbours, and hear me tell— Twelve resounds from the belfry bell !

The Match for the Silver Cup given by the Thames Yacht Club was yesterday renewed. It will be remembered that the prize was claimed at a former trial of skill by the Lady Louisa, which would have been entitled to it had not a dispute arisen. It was stated that she ran aground, and that one of her men got overboard to push her off; contrary to the rules of sailing. The Spitfire, which came in second, had also committed some irregularity, and it was arranged the( the match should be sailed again. The Lady Louisa is a new boat, and considered one of the quickest on the river. She,,,wal expected to heat every other vessel of the same class, and' considerable bets were made upon her. The superiority assigned to this sailing boat seems to be well founded, and the result of yesterday's sailing was honourable to her Captain and crew, because it proved that they had no necessity to aid the vessel by any irregular pro ceeding. The boats started from Blackfriars Bridge with a light breeze. The Fortitude took the lead, but above Westmin ster-bridge the Venus and Lady Louisa shot ahead of all their adversaries. The tide ran strong, and the boats sailed nearly in the wake of each other up to Vauxhall. In Chelsea Reach they had a strong breeze from the south, and the vessels made good way. It was then evident that the Lady Louisa would maintain her ground. Back from Wandsworth it was a close contest all the way with the Venus. The latter standing for Cumberland Gardens, kept to windward, having the Lady Louisa upon her lee bow. When within a short distance of the winning point the greatest anxiety prevailed among the spectators near the scene of action. The Lady Louisa appeared rather too far to leeward, but a strong breeze sprang up at the critical moment, anti luffing up close as possible, she made the starting boat at Cumberland Gardens, a few seconds before the Venus... She was instantly announced as the winner by the discharge of a pistol, and de cheers of the surrouding spectators. The Venus also generously cheered the Lady Louisa, notwithstand ing she had lost the prize. There was no complaint of unfair proceedings. The match gave general satisfaction, and the Cup was delivered to the crew of the Lady Louisa, who in stantly displayed the prize, and gave three cheers which were returned by all present. The victors then hoisteay large ilßg of triumph, bearing the name of the successful vessel, and drift ed down with the tide to her moorings. Many boats attended' the match, which displayed much skill and activity in all the sailing vessels. The limits of the Thames between Westmin ster and Wandsworth are too confined to admit of much tact in sailing; but the efforts on this occasion were more interest ing than usual, in consequente of having wind to fill the sails and give power to the helm. PARTRIDGE SHOOTING MATCH. Three good shots went out on Monday morning, subscribing 501. each, and the one who killed the most head of game by 12 o'clock, to receive the 150/. The parties -were Mr. Briscoe, a knowing good shot of the Ashton Club, and Messrs. 'Clement snn • and Kemp. They started, in different directions, from Stoke, Bucks, and Mr. Briscoe bagged 62 head ; Mr. Clements 60 ; and Mr. Kemp 58. The whole together missed 19 shots. PEDESTRIANISM. A start which has made a stir in the sporting world, took place from Shoreditch turnpike at one o'clock yesterday morn ing. Captain Smith who lately performed 100 miles in 24 hours, and Mr. Blakesley made a match for 200 sov. who should ar rive first at the 140 mile stone near Worksop. Ole pedestrians were backed heavily, at even by each party, and the winner was backed to perform the distance in 40 hours. They went off at about five miles an hour, and Captain Smith halted a few minutes at Collier's End, having done 26 miles in rather more than 5 hours. Mr. Blakesley went on to Buntingford, 31 miles to breakfast, and he started again when his competitor came in view. Our last information left the pedestrians pursuing their labour at 11 o'clock, having accomplished 49 miles in 10 hours. The late Earl of CARLISLE was, in his youth, one of the most accomplished and well dressed gentlemen of his time. After he returned from his Travels, having received his education at Eton and the University, it was his custom to pro menade the streets in a full dress, and with red heeled shoes. From his early life he was always distinguished for great urbanity, kindness of manner, and love for the arts, of which he was as univeraal patron, ' MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(Tzus DAY.) BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Rozebotham.., keeper of the coffee-shop known by the name of the " Finish" in St. James's-street, Covent-garden, was indicted for assaulting, in June last, Ann Braith wait. The prosecutrix, a young and deli cate looking woman, stated that she lived with the defendant for four years, but from a serious of ill-treatment was compelled to leave him on his undertaking to allow her a weekly, sum. He neglected to do this, and called at the coffee-shop on the morning described in the indictment, and on mildly asking for relief, he seized her by the throat, and threw her down a flight of stairs, and finally kicked her out of doors.—Mr. ALLEY, for the defence, called three or four persons, the defendant's waiters, who denied the statement of the prosecutrix, and said she was drunk at the time.—The Jury, however, found him guilty, and the defendant was fined 51.

Extract of a lettn. from Captain Jamieson, of the :11: rqu's of Huntly, from Sierra Leone, dated Illotherhank. Sept. 12 : " I arrived here with the 31arquis of Huntly. from Sierra Leone, in 44 days. I left at that place the schooner :Ntis,au, Tretimine, who was very sick, also his mate, and sonie of the crew ; the Captain was recovering, and I advised him, to get his people carried on board and sail, as there was a greater chance of their recovery at sea than on shore, as the rainy season was set in ; if she is not yet arrived, you may expect to hear of her socn ; she had in timber and cam wood. The Colonial brig Prince Regent sailed with us on the 23d July, having on board the Captain, mate, and part of the crew of the piratical schooner which' we took on the Gold Coast on the 15th Jan. ; they had murdered several men on the Coast, and taken their property from them; they also hada plan laid to take the Pilehardschooner,which lay in Cape Coast Roads, with a considerable value on board. I was informed of a plan by Captain Coutts, the ma , ter of that vessel, that she was in danger; I consequently sent an armed party on board of her, to guard her for the night, and next day moored her close to our ship, where our guns could protect her; two days after we succeeded in taking the prime. They said they had no power at Sierra Leone to iry that case of piracy, so the General and Governor has sent then, h. rte to England for trial, in the above-mentioned vessel, Prince Rege If she be not arrived I am afraid something has happeaeo, she is a fast sailer."

CANTERBURY, SEPT. 12.—The major part of our City grounds are not worth picking; some little spots will produce a few hops, but we apprehend they will fall short of their esti mate. The Niringham grounds are in a similar state. On the cold soils about Petham,' Stone Street, Waltham, Hasting leigh, &c. they are more promising; some of the plantations about those villages are computal at three, four, and five hun dred per acre. Picking has not yet commenced. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 12.—The picking has partially com menced in this neighbourhood, and will be general by the 20th inst. Duty doing at 30,0001. BOROUGH, SEPT. 12.—Our market remains steady. The picking commences generally this week ' • those who have begun, report they come down very light ; and a third less than their own estimate : the samples are expected to be of good quality. Duty to-day 28,000/. PORTER-Before the year 1730, the malt liquors in general use in London were'ale, beer, and a drink named two-penny. It was then customary to call for a pint or tankard of half and half; i. e. half of ale or half of beer; or half of ale, and half of two-pennytt In course of time it also became the practice to call for a pint or tankard of threC threads, meaning a third of each, ale, beer, and two-penny, and thus the publican had the trouble to go to three casks and turn three cocks for a pint of liquor. To avoid this inconvenience and waste, a brewer of the name of Harwood conceived the idea of making a liquid, which should partake of the united flavours of ale, beer, and two-penny ; he did so, 'and succeeded, calling it entire, or entire butt, meaning that it was drawn entirely from one cask or butt, and as it was a very hearty and nourish ing liquor, and supposed to be very suitable for porters aul other working people, it obtained the name of porter. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—We understand that early in the ensuing week the Committee of City Lands is to meet upon the subject of Bartholomew Fair, and it is expected that a strong effort will be made to prevent its continuance. The friends of the fair are determined to do all in their power to counteract the attempts of its enemies, and we believe a very warm contention will arise. The Lord Mayor has received innumerable communications from those who are adverse to the exhibition, from the belief that appren tices and other young people are induced to seek improper means of enjoying the entertainments. Amongst those communications is one from a per son who subscribes himself " A Working Man." —lie throws out a hint, which might be of some utility : "Might not (he says) the ground. usually taken up by those useless and injurious exhibi tions be appropriated to purposes more beneficial to the public ? 'There areoro doubt, in this great city, many tradesmen, chapmen, &c., who have in their possession a vast quantity of superfluous articles that lay year after year as a dead stock, articles that are imperfect, unfashionable, or somewhat injured, yet could be used by many, and, no doubt, .could they be exposed to public sale, would meet very many purchasers, especially among humble tradesmen and the lower order of 4oelety."—(Morning Paper.)
