THE ROYAL TOUR. We are now enabled to give some interesting particulars relative to the visit of his MAJEiTY to the sister kingdom, and his "route from London to the place of embarkation. It is expected the King will proceed dir ec t t o Sh rews b u ry, by way of 0 x ford , C hipping-Norton, Stratford,. and Bridge uorth, with th e except i on o f stopp i ng f or a d a y at the seat of Cecil Forester, Esq. From Shrews bury hi s . Majesty t will go to Wynnstay, the hos p_itable and d e li g htf u l sea t o f Sir W. W. Wynn, part. -!.J.rr e will make his entrance along the b eautiful and picturesque vale of • the Dee, and cross that river below the grounds of Wynnstay, the romantic situation of which is the theme of admiration of every traveller. The Sove reign, it is said; will be escorted from Shrews bury, by divisions of the yeomanry cavalry of the County of Salop, and the royal stay there will probably not exceed 2 days, but preparations are making to give the Monarch the most magni ficent reception the short time will alloW. His .LVlajesty will be accompanied by his Royal High ness the Duke of Clarence, and probably the , Duke of .York ; the Duke ofWellington, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart;lient, aucl a large train of nobility, exclusive of those us the Monarch's personal suite.• The Bards of Cambria are summoned to welcome - their Prince in . the impr e s s i ve an d hearty manner of". the days of olden times." The minstrels are to be under the superintendence of J. Parry, Esq. of London, who is - coming down for the purpose. On such an occasion, Winnstay will, indeed, be in her gloi•y ; and the heart of every ancient Britain leap in• his bosom ! From the seat of Sir Wathin his Majesty will he escorted to Holyhead by the yeomanry cavalry of the principality; but whether the King will 'stop for a night on the road is not known ; if such should be the royal will, PlasnWydd, the seat of the gallant Marquis of Anglesea, is spoken of as the mansion .fixed Upon. A completely new line of road is making for the Royal approach to Wynnstay, in order to give full effect to the superlative scenery of that delightful neighbourhood.- His Majesty and the select party who will be honoured with admis -4011 to the Royal table, will dine in the room in front of the house ; the great party of the nobility and gentry will dine in the- great room in the south wing, to which the Sovereign and the com pany will afterwards adjourn : this room, it will be recollected by all who have seen it, commands exquisite views of Chirk and its venerable Castle, the vale of the Dee, over which is erected the airy fabric of Poutycisylte Aqueduct, the Breidden hills beyond Oswestry, the mountainous country spreading - towards Kynaston's Cave, the Berwen range of hills, &c. A great number of men are now employed at Wynnstay, expediting and completing the altera tions, in the best way the shortness of the time will permit. His Majesty will enter the house under a splendid canopy of crimson velvet, spreading from the south front across the flower garden, which environs that part. Several apart . Ments are fitting up with the Royal colours ; and the room in which the King will sleep is hung with crimson velvet, and gold and silk lace ; the bed, chairs, &c. en suite. Cannon will be plant ed in commanding situations in the extensive park, •to welcome the Monarch of Great Britain with loyal salutes. On the Waterloo Tower, erected by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, in 1816, to coin . - tneniorate the glorious triumph over the despot of France,:will be hoisted the Royal Standard of England. The illustrious cavalcade will enter, Wynnstay Park at New Bridge llill,•and ap- Proach the house .by way of Nant y Bellin Tower, forming a route of nearly eight miles in the grounds.of the demesne, before arriving ;it the seat of hospitality. In the line of this delightful drive, numerous triumphal arches will be thrown ever the road ; in -short, every means will be adopted to do all possible honour to the beloved Monarch of these realms. The:yeomanry cavalry , of Denbighshire and Flintshire will, we Lnder stand, meet the Royal Cortege near Gobowen, between Chirk and Oswestry. The stay of his - Majesty:at Wynnstay will be two days and two sicr Chronicle.) WonniusG JUNE 7.—We are happy to find that ancient and highly respectable body " the Preemasons" is daily extending its branches from the- venerable stern. Worthing on Tuesday Presented a scene of gaiety unprecedented, it teing the day of meeting of the i'rovincial Grand -undge of the County, and for the purpose of c onstituting t lte Royal- Sussex. Lodge, lately esta blished at this place by the Rev. Joie: FE Tor- NELL, the Deputy provincial Grand Master.- -rhe business of the day being concluded, u dies Were admitted to the Lodge-room, where they 'were highly entertained by Mr. WRIGHT, the, p rovincial Grand Organist, and Mr. BEST, the Organist of the Royal Sussex Lodge, who pre- S ided at the organ on the occasion ; after which, a suitable address being delivered to them, they "tired' gratified and delighted, with hearts pre °ssessed in favour of the craft, and only regret tingr the regulations of the Society prevented their b ecoming Members of a body so universally re " , P'eted for their constant practice of every moral and social virtue. It has been usual on these oc casions for the Brethren to attend Divine wor 811P, and offer their prayers at the shrine of the , 4 `,Ving-Gon : but we regret extremely to hear tnat the. officiating Curate prevented their doing . B c l by the refusal of his pulpit for that purpose. "e enter not into the feelings of the Curate of the Worthing Chapel, yet cannot but consider his refusal as an extraordinary act, when we find him individually opposing himself to a body Which has stood the test of time, and has the immediate patronage of our most gracious and beloved SOVEREIGN and his illustrious Family.— The Rev, Mr. CARTWRIGIIT, the Provincial Grand Chaplain, delivered an enlightened and elegant address to the Brethren, which left no room for them to regret the absence of the Rev. Curate, however much they deplored the depri vation of the Chapel. The day was finished at the festive board, where harmony and convivia lity reigned, and the party retired, pleased with the su m pt uous entertainment provided for them by : Mi. 134 -RsoNs ) the proprietor of the Steyne no el. snip Nffsvg.

Resolutkos were entered into with the view of securing the loture and annual ob servance Of this memorable ciz!.y as a festival. It is hoped all will unite in cher:shing and perpe , tuating the memory of a Monarch, who has truly !and justly been denominated a Yatriot King, true Christian, and Father of his Pe.ople ; and no doubt is entertained, that under the po.tronage of the Nobility and Gentry of Scotland. ; and the admirers of his late gracious - Majesty, it will be come the most distinguished and respecta,bi,e As sociation in this part of the United Empire. The gallant Admiral did the honours of the Chair in a manner highly gratifying to the company.-- (Edinburgh Courant, June 7.) • The Defence transport, on her passage from Cork to Malta, with part of the 18th regiment on board, was struck by lightning, and nine peo ple, who were on deck, were thrown down by the shock, two of them were killed, one died shortly afterwards, and two were left at the Malta Itos pi tal in a dangerous state. • ROYAL SOCIETY Or MUSICIANS. The Anniversary Festival of this Spciety was held on Saturday last, at the Argyll Rooms. To say that it was one of the greatest musical treats that has been given for many years, would be but what might be expected, where such a com bination of talent was assembled. The Earl of DA-UNLEY, as a Director of the Ancient Con;. ccrts, presided , Prince Lecipcld. sat on his righti the Earl of Fortescue and Earl Blesinton on his left. The President's table was on the stage (which is elevatwLabout three feet), axed it Was occupied by Noblemen and persons of rank and consequence. Four other table, the whole length of the spacious Concert Room, 'were completely filled by toe lovers of music, and the promoters of charity.' When the cloth was removed, " Non - Nobis Domine" was sung in a sublime manner, by at least 50 Professors. The first toast was " His Majesty, the Patron of the Society, and God bless him."—( Loud Cheering,)—" God save the King" was sung, accompanied by a most excellent band, chiefly menbers of the Society, and from the Opera House. To enumerate all the performances would take more space - than we can afford; but we cannot omit naming a Quintette by J. B. Cramer, F. Cramer, Moralt, Lindley, and Drago e netti, (pianoforte, violin, tenor, violoncello, and double bass,) as a most delicious treat. -.Mr. Kies:wetter' also performed a polacca on the violin in the most masterly manner, and was rewarded .by the universal plaudits of the Company ; he was accompanied ,on the piano-forte by Mr. J. B. Cramer, who (to use his own words) was willing to do any thing in his power to promote. the, interests of the Society. Two grand marches, composed expressly for the Society, by . Haydn and Winter, were exquisitely performed by the wind instruments' band. who also - accompanied Bishop's beautiful round of " When the•wind blows," which was sung .by the whole vocal corps, and rapturously encored. " There is a bloom that never fades," a glee, by W. Knyvett, was sung by Master Smith, Messrs. Vaughan and Bellamy, and repeated at the unanimous wish of the Company. - Several other. fine Compositions were performed and listened to with profound attention and delight. Mr. T. Cooke sung a mock Italian trie s after the manner of three most celebrated singer's, in a very eicellent,style. Mr. Broadhurst sung " John Anderson toy Jo," most beautifully, and was loudly encored. Mr. C.Vaylor gave . a comic song, and Mr. Collyer " Farewell my charming Maid,'" in their best manner. I-lorsley's elegant glee of " Celia's Arbour," and Attwood's " In Peace Love tunes;" were inserted in the bills ; hut in consequence of the many encores, and the excellent ad dresses which came - from the President, and other Noblemen and Gentlemen, they . could not be performed. The boxes were occupied by the families of the Noble Direc tors of the Ancient Concerts, and others, all elegantly dressed, which had a most pleasing effect. Refreshments were provided for them in the Saloon. Although there was no Collection after dinner, many . new Subscribersgave in their mutes. The Earl of Blesinton gave ten guineas ; Prince Cobourg 251., and Messrs. Broad woods, a donation, by the hands of Mr. Attwood, of 501. The- Noble President read the list', and stongly urged the lovers-of music to lend a hand towards alleviating the distresses of , the superannuated musician, who in the days of his youth, affonls them so much rational amusement. Mr. ICY Y VETT,' in proposing the health of the President, entered into the merits of this excellent - Institution, and Mr. Horsley, in returning thanks on behalf of the Professional: Stewards, drew a most touching picture of the good works it had done ; as in one instance, he observed that there were three widowS.(with numerous familieS), who had lately become claim ants on the funds of the Society, and that each received about , 1001. a year. We wish every success to this Society, and all other Musical Institutions, for the Members are always ready, at the call of the. ; Humane and Benevolent, to lend their aid to pro Mote all other Charities *; they.therefore have a claim on Ihe public at large, , for support and patronage.

This matter re lates to the extraordinau misSion to Russia,which Mr. BURKE many years ago absolutely charged on Mr. Fox, as a treasonable act.—As this charge has been often made, it i s ver y stran g e that Mr. ADAIR. never thought of answering it till this - moment. But " dead men tell no tales." It will be seen that some paupers have peti tioned against the new Poor Bill. This has been cited by several Papers as a proof of the distress in which such persons must be, - " as it is the fire/ time a petition so signed was ever heard of." The whole tone and character of the petition be tray the framers, and confirm its real Objects ; but it so happens that it is not the first petition of the sort that was ever heard of, inasmuch, as 'at the period when the revolutionists were work ing upon the feelings of the people itt the reign of Charles the First the same trick was played off.—Jaume says, VOL vii. p. `277-----" Another pe tition was presented by several poor people, or beggars in the name of many thousands roare."--- ' " Such low arts," adds the Historian, " of popu larity were affected ; and by, such illiberal cant Were the people incited to civil discord and con, vuisions,"—(Jolin Bull.) - • pc Pa Pr it V.

Like thine own HoMER'S Joy E I see thee aft A mighty monarch in the realms of wit, ' • - And from thy throne suspend a golden chain,. And challenge all thy foes—a graceless train. To pull thee down—they all shall strive in vain. Let the long ranks of dullness issue forth, The .scribes, and cold-blood critics of the North, The Cockney bards, the namby : pamby hosts, The awkward tribes that affectation boasts, Coxcombs and Apes, the simpering and the silly, -From sweet Lord FANNY to plebeian WILLY, The garret's swarms and spawnings . of the lake ;,--• Vain all their power thy heaven-built throne to shake Fixed on.th' eternal base of truth and sense, Of nature, genius, taste,-and eloquence. Each mise enamoured o'er thy cradle hung, Dropped dews Ilymettian on thy infant tongue ; And tuned thy lips to sing of flocks and swains, The woods green bowers,. and autumn's rich domains, In lays as sweet as c'er in grove or Mead, Breathed from Sicilian pipe or Mantuan reed. Boldly to sing the Critiesart they taught, In strains so just, with classic lore so fraught, 'That e'en the Stagyritc to praise would bend, And great Longinus hail thee as his friend. They gave thee next with magic skill to move The inmost springs of sympathy and love. And from thy bosom, pieit'd by secret wb, .• Bade the full tide of song melodious flow, With such prevailing power that still the tear Starts to the - eye, and gushes while we hear !

But lo ! Belinda bursts upon'the sight, A star of joy !-a seraph of delight ! Girt with her sylphs ia matchless grace she moves, Like I'aphian oddess with her playful loves. What charms divine her radiant form invest ? Th' immortal cestus glows beneath her breast, With witching power her influence to dispense, Thrill 41-ery heart, and rivet every sense. She, lu'veliest daughter of the sportive muse, In accents sweeter than ambrosial dews, .• ,• Winning as love, and.smiles to which arc given Tte s weet - enthralling agencies of Heaven, Claims for her bard the bard's immortal name, And.what rash mortal dares contest the claim ?

Iligll-mindedl3YuoN, be it thine to tell With what stroag powers he strikes the ethic shell, The springs of virtue teaches to explore, And how to truth he does not stoop but soar, An eagle flight, how far beyond the w in g Of envious claws that scream and think they sing ! Yes, he soar'd upward by the heavenly road That leads to Immortality's abode ; Taught the calm paths - of happiness to scan, " Anti justified the ways of. God to man." . . 0 theme sublime ! how far beyond the aim Of those who now would blast the Poet's fame. -0 theme sublinie ! most worthy of the art, And power, and genius of the Poet's heart, • Long may'st thou live, 0 BYnoN, thus to guard , As well thou canst, the glory of the bard. - The grateful Huse in.after time may raise • Some bard for thee G 6 to trim thy withering bays," And shield thy fame,. when witlingst fops, and clowns, Would from thy temples steal thy laurel crowns. A son of song, (if worthy of the,name) E'en now, in Erin, lights for thee a flame That seldom glows in this ungenial clime, Where no excitement wakes tne rage of rhyme. A hapless land, where, oh ! her shame to own, No bard is honthired and no muse is known. This act of thin; like Charity, shall hide A crowd of faults, and spread thy glory wide. O blest with genius, why that genius wrong ? Why not to virtue dedicate thy song ? Oh ! I could-weep to think a soul like thine E'er laid one offering on corruption's shrine. But ere repentance, come too late, has shed Her tearful vial ti'er thy hoary head ; While yet thy star, with undiminished force, Flames in its highest sphere, pursue the course Where wisdom loads, and to her native skies, Plumed with her, pinions, let thy geniA rise; Rise with the spring of renovated youth, The all the matchless energies of truth Then with thy great pricursor shalt thou know, Virtue alone is happiness below." With his shall fature ages reed thy name, • Bright in the zodiac of poetic fame ; And e'en the present, won to kindness, raise Her proud Memorial of thy well-earned praise. l'„, 11 We regret that - we had not an earlier opportunity of gra tifying onr Readers with the above admirable.vmdication of our great ethical Bard. We are, however, surprised that the Au thor has overlooked his countryman AloonE, who, whatever may be the tendency of some of his juvenile productions, cer tainly possesses no ordinary degree of poetical genius.

ANECDOTE OF DR. PARR AND SIR JAMES MAC KINTOS U.—Son - it years since, Sir JAMES, then Mr. MACKINTOSH, dining in a large party with Dr. PARR, the conversation turned upon an Irish Roman Catholic Priest, who had been exe-. cuted for treason at Maidstone. Mr. Mackintosh was most violent in his observations, upon the cul, prit, who had already paid the penalty of crime; so violent and so .severe, that the Doctor, who, with all his wrong headedness, had then a touch of humanity in his composition, turned round, and petrified Mackintosh, by saying,—'' Sir, — the criminal who has been hanged was an Irish [nail—he might;havc . been. a Scotchman : he was a Priest—he ,night have been a lawyer : he .was consistent—he might ha . :c _been —AN APOSTATE" —(John Bull) .

Lawrence was serving out the arms, while West and Beer, the two Mohan 's ens, and \Vitra ms, w re prevent. Wit ness had a pistol given to him, and 14 rounds of cartridges; arms were given to 19 persoes, for they were counted by the Lawren ces e they had Hollands at the house of the Richardsons ; there were GO persons in all, and they proceeded in two parties to Herne Bay, but joined in a field at the back of the bay ; Web ster and two others were left with the. carts near the turnpike ; they were also armed with pistolS ; in the meadow the tinned party were called in front lay IVest and Beer, and the two Law rences ; they . then formed into two lines of ten on the left apd nine on the right, so that when the boat came on shore the work ing men came between them ; in about a quarter of an hour 'or 20 minutes, a Deal man called them to come alone, which they did, and when they got to the beach the boat seemed close ashore; West commanded on the left, and M. Lawrence on the right, both armed ; Beer was with West ; on the beach he saw two Irian standing to the right, and one of them snapped a pistol twice ; then a pistol was fired, but from whom he could not say ; 1. Lawrence fired a brass blunderbuss, and another fired a pistol towards the'man who had snapped hit pistol; the latter advanced towards the working party ; •but after that he saw him no more; there was a great deal of firing from the smugglers' party after that; the working party during this time were carrying the tubs up to the carts ; the tubs containe d Hellands and-brady ; Webster jobs about with coals, and his cart was employed : West, Beer, and Lawrence said they had got all the tubs they expected ; they n hired to Herne and dispersed, some going one way and some another; West two days after told him there were 65 tubs worked out of 81 thatavere expected ; Wehatere said he brought his 22 tubs into Canterbury ; witness asked him how he ventured to bring them at daylight in the morning, and he said no one officer should have taken him ; witness con - - mlinicated all this to ..11r.

J. Smith, another of the party of smugglers, corroborated the evidence of the last witness:. James Howman, another accomplice, deposed to the same effect. A surgeon was called to prove the death of Mr. Snow, ' and his dying declaration as to the mode of attack, but. he said nothing to affect the prisoners. Other witnesses were called to corroborate minor points of the testimony of the accomplices. William Salmon, one of. the principal officers of Bow-street, produced some muskets, which he found at, the house of the Richanlsons. Some of them appeared to have been recently dis. charged. Griffiths saw these arms as soon as they were taken,. West, on being called upon, said he was innocent. Beer made a similar declaration, and they both explained Some cumstances stated in evidencd. The two Richardsons and Wil liams contented themselves with a general declaration of inno cence. Webster said he was at home, .sitting up with his. fa ther-in-law, who died on the very night of the affair at Herne Bay. William Schiller, brother-in-law to Griffiths, said he saw him on Tuesday morning after the affray, and asked him how begot on the night before, and he said " Pretty well ; if I take a Job in hand I always get through. it well, don't I?" He told 'the witness he had tired, 11 rounds of ball cartridge. Shaw war called, and in the most positive manner cor. tradicted Griffiths and Smith. The latter said to him once that Crook, thexcise officer, was a d_a eye-sore to him and many others in th ß e place, and he.viould give witness a 101. note to shoot him. Jane Fuller swore that Griffiths once wrote a letter the her, and that she had heard him read repeatedly. (He swore hedid not even know a letter in the alphabet,) Peter Du Thoit swore that he had known Griffiths many years, and from what he had known of hini would notbeliere him upon his oath. The witness gave West and Beer an cm.. cellent character. Several respectable witnesses gave West, Beer, and hams the best possible character for honesty and - huntariitye Some of them spoke in the highest taints of West, and saki thee:: could not be a better or a kinder young man. The Itiehar,!•:* sons also received a good character. t Mr. Justice BAY LEY summed up the evidence with his usitat t humanity and perspicuity, and the Juryeetirted. a serdic, f• , 41 ing all the prisoners NOT GUILTY.—Thc trial Ifist:4ll2teiirs. ..„
