ArtGUMENTUM AD HOMINEM, In looking into BLACKSTONE for the duties of Sheriffs, we find that, as keeper of the KING'S peace, a , Sheriff may apprehend and commit to prison all persons who break the peace, or attempt to break it, and for that purpose he may command all the people of his County to attend him. But though he is the principal conservator of the peace in his County, yet by the express directions of the Great Char ter, the Sheriff is forbidden to hold any plea of the Crown, or, in other words, to try any-crimi nal offence. For it would be highly unbecom ing that the Executioners of Justice should be also the Judges ; should impose as well as lev'y fines and amercemeiits, should one day condemn a man to death, and personally execute him the next; neither may he act as an ordinary Justice of the Peace, for this would be equally incon sistent,lfe being in many respects the servant of the Justices. Now, although in the usual course of events a Sheriff might not feel it necessary to be present at any place where a concourse of people was naturally expected to attend, and therefore his absence at a funeral procession, where more than common interest was excited, would be justifiable, yet if he does attend, and witnesses tumultuous conduct on the part of any individuals, and observes that a funeral procession, and that of one of the Royal Family is impeded in Its progress, it is his duty, being present, to exert hi mse lf i n t h e re moval of th obstruction, the prevention of riot, and the apprehension of those attempting to break the peace. Now, did Mr. Sheriff ‘VAITHMAN, attending her late MAJ ESTY'S funeral, on the 14th August last, assist in any way to the keeping the KING'S peace, did he endeavour to remove the impediments, to prevent a riot, or to apprehend either Soldiers or Citizens, attempting to break, or actually breaking the peace ? By the evi dence hitherto produced at the Inquests of iTONEY and FRANCIS, he did not, and is therefore ame nable to law. 2dly,Mr.Sheriff WA rrumAx's attendance at the Inquest is 44 highly unbecoming" (if not illegal) being contrary to the spirit (at least) of the Great Charter. lle has called witnesses, and those whom he has produced have all given a partial testimony ; the observations u p on ev id ence w hi c h he has made, manifest the character of an ad vocate, and his conduct and expressions towards the Coroner and the Jury have been arrogant and dictatorial. If a Sheriff, being an executioner of justice, acts as a Judge; if he who may have to levy a fine, advocates the proceedings, the result of which may lead to the imposition thereof; if he who may by possibility have to execute a man, assists in the condemnation, such a Sheriff vioiates the Great Charter, and acts illegally. idly, if Mr. WAITIIMAN, attending as Sheriff at Knightsbridge on Sunday the 26th, had acted as such, he might have allayed the irritation of the populace and the soldiers, and prevented the painful consequences of the conflict which then took place. But Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMAN seems, on the contrary, to have been meditating the figure he might cut in the newspapers next day, 'as a writer and as a horseman. If, instead of springing on the causeway at one time, and mak ing his horse plunge at another ; if, instead of endeavouring to prove himself to be a better jockey than his predecessor in the Linen Line, JOHNNY GILPIN, he had but followed the common duties of a Sheriff, he would have apprehended the individuals who, either from the Barracks, opposite the Barracks, or near the .Barracks, broke, or attempted to break, the peace. Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMAN not having so acted, having overlooked his duties on the 14th August, and the spirit and rules of the Great Charter, has acted in a manner, high ly unbecoming, and inconsistent with the conse quence, importance, and dignity of the office of High Sheriff. THE LATE QUEEN.—We have inserted this day an article, dated Brunswick, 25th August, re ceived by the llamburgh Mail this morning, stating the appropriate ceremonies and solemni ties attending the interment of her late MAJESTY in the vault of her ancestors.—We deem it pro per also to insert the following paragraph, which appeared in Th e Morning Chroizicle of yes terday : " The Queen of WGLAND has been consigned to the family vault of her ancestors ? without the accustomed funeral service, or any of the rites enjoined either by the Church of England, or the Lutheran Church of Germany. Positive orders, it is said, had been issued for offering this last indignity to the Remains of her MAJESTY. The envious spirit which dictated the disgraceful orders of the 14th, and which was met by such a demonstration of popular feeling in this Metrop o li s , was at work to the very last." - After reading the above paragraph, what can be thought of the Paper in question, but that it is utterly regardless of truth, probability, and common decency ? We might ask even the most besotted, follower of Faction if he could really believe • that " positive orders" could pos sibly have been issued by the British Govern ment, or any body connected with it, to offer any indignity to the remains of her MAJESTY ! ! ! The sum total subscribed up to the 30th ult., in Dublin, towards the Palace or Monument, to be erected in commemoration of his MAJESTY'S landing in Ireland, is 78691. Irish money, which is about equal to 7200/. English money.--The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lady MANNERS sailed from How th, onWedoesday morning, for England. On Saturday evening their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and the reigning Duke of SAXE MENINGEN, with their respective suites, returned to Bushy Park.--On Friday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of GLOUCESTER left town for Bagshot.

The Anniversary of the DEVIZES BEAR CLUB was held on Wednesday, at Devizes, and notwithstanding the wetness of the morning, a great number of Gentlemen, from distant parts of the County, attended, and on the whole th ere never was a more respectable Meeting in that town. The benevolent object "of this Society is to clothe and educate poor boys, and afterwards apprentice them. Mr. Salmon, who has been the Steward, and principal promoter of. this 'ln stitution from its commencement, very efficiently filled the chair. On the ri g ht o f t h e Ch a i rman were the Mayor of De vizes, Mr. Benett, M.P., Mr. Pierce, M.P. Mr. Grosset, M.P. and the Rev. Mr. A.she ; on his left the High Sheriff of Wilts, Mr. Estcourt, M.P., Si r J . D . Astley, M.P., Mr. Wm. Taylor, M.P. and the Rev. Mr. Edmonstone. There were also present—Mr. Locke, Mr. Lewis Phipps, Mr. Ward (the Mayor of Marlborough), Mr. Wr,n. Salmon, Mr. Tylee, Mr. Gent, &c. After the cloth w as removed, a variety of loyal and local toasts were drank. Mr. Benett, on proposing the Chairman's health, said—" It is to Mr. Salmon that the inhabitants of De vizes—of Wiltshire, are indebted for their Bear Club : through his fostering care it has risen to prosperity, and proved an ex ample for the whole kingdom.—ln giving the health of Mr. Sal mon, I know not how to express my feehngs,—those who know him, know him only as a sincere friend, and I am sure there is not an individual present but 'will sincerely drink his health with nine times - nine."—lnlmediately on the announcement of this toast, the whole house echoed—Mr. Salmon ! and after 'file times nine had been heartily given, immense plau dits followed. Mr. Salmon very appropriately exprested his thanks, amidst continued cheers. Several toasts were given and drunk--a great number of excellent songs sung, and the evening was spent in the happiest manner. ALDERMAN THOMPSON.—This Gentleman gave a dinner yesterday at the London Tavern, in re turn for that given by his friends of the . Ward of Cheap, on the occasion of his election as Al derman of that Ward. The Worthy Alderman took the' Chair. The dinner was excellent, and on its conclusion, after Non 'nobis Dominc, Mr. Alderman THOMPSON arose and proposed the health of his MAJESTY, trusting that the toast would be received in such a manner as to shew that his MAJESTY was as well beloved in the city of London as in that of Dublin. The toast was received with the warmest applause, and " the King" was drank with four times four. The next toast from the Chair was " The Trade and Commerce of the City bf London," which was warmly received. Mr. Deputy BROOK then gave" Mr. Alderman Thompson," with an appropriate introduction. The worthy Alderman, in return for the cordial zeal with which the toast was received unanimously, testified his grateful sense of the kind partiality of his friends. Mr. Alderman HEYGATE, Mr. Alderman LUCAS, and other gentlemen severally addressed the company, in the progress of the evening, and in reference to the respective toasts and sentiments that occurred.—Several toasts were given, inter spersed with songs, which continued until the Chairman retired, at a late hour. The evening was spent throughout with the greatest hilarity. The sumptuousness of the entertainment, and the admirable arrangement of the Managers and Stewards, reflected the highest credit on the liberal spirit of the worthy Alderman, and the selection of such able coadjutors' from amongst his friends. The Right 'Hon. G. CANNING and the Right Hon. W. HustussoN, have been for some little time past sojourning at Seaford.

THE KING. CURRAGH ROYAL MEETING, AUGUST, 1821. [FROM THE DUBLIN COARESPONDENT, SEPT. I.] Yesterday having been appointed by his. Ma , ~tsyy, in place of Wednesday, for visiting the magnificent plain of Kildare, from the very early hour of four in the morning, until an. advanced period in the day, the various toads and avenues leading in that 'direction were literally covered with groups of people, on foot, horseback, and in vehicles of various descriptions, from the mag nificent barouche, to the less elegant, but not less whimsical or useful conveyance, used by our more humble fellow-countrymen, in' their visits to the various places of resort in the neighbour hood of the city. His Majegty's carriage drove up to Colonel Vesey's gate precisely at half-past nine, attended by a Guard of Honour, consist ing of the 'Gentlemen of the country, wearing pink scarfs and medals. His Majesty was ac, companied by the Marquis Conyngham and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. The residing Magistrate, Colonel Vesey, the Governor of the County, and Mr. Gandon, were also in attendance.— The fine Band of the County of Dublin, sta tioned at Lucan, with the Staff, were also in readiness, and, on, his Majesty's arrival, im mediately struck up " God save the King," while the shouts and cheers of the assembled peasants added to the general enthusiasm displayed on this gratifying occasion. A beau tiful triumphal arch was thrown between the fine Lombardy poplar and the principal inn, the whole covered with laurel evergreen, with fes toons of blue and pink silk—a beautiful gilt crown surmountin. the centr', with banners of various colon; s. As this arch was cow tructed in a few hours, it shews the enthusiasm of all classes, however humble, to welcome their be loved Monarch. Celbridge was particularly gay. There were three ornamented arches at this place, where the manufacturers, decorated with ribbons, and the Sheriff and Gentlemen of the county of Klidare, assembled to receive and ac company his Majesty. At twelve o'clock his Majesty arrived at tire Stand-house, attended by a numerous assemblage of the Gentlemen 'and Yeomen- of the counties of Dublin and Kildare, and was received, on his arrival, by his Grace the Duke of Leinster, and the Stewards and Gentlemen of the Turf Club, by whom his Majesty was conducted to the very handsome apartment which has been added to the Stand-House, with which, and the arrange ments for the occasion, his Majesty appeared highly pleased. His. Grace the Duke of Lein ster, with his' yeomen arid tenantry, were very conspicuous, and presented a most imposing and gratifying sight. At half-past twelve, the day having fortunately cleared up, the first race corn menced as under : Sweepstakes 20045, P. P. and the Gold Cup—f our m il es Mr. Daly's ch. h. Rob Roy, 5 yrs, Bst. 81h.

The challenge of the Royal Stakes by Mr. Battersby's lymount, and Mr. Kirwan's Aladdin, was won in beautiful style by Hollymount, terminating, at five o'clock, the sports of the day. In the course of the morning his Majesty fre quently presented himself at the windows of, and in, the balcony in front of the Stand House, and acknowledged, with his accustomed grace and benignity, the applause and the blessings of the very numerous assemblage of his subjects in front of the Stand House. The interior of the building was adorned by a great number of lovely and distinguished females. After partaking of a mag nificent collation at three o'clock, his Majesty departed, apparently highly gratified with the amusements of the day. THE INSTALLATION OF THE KNIGHTS OF ST. PATRICK. (FROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF AUG. 29.) The magnificent ceremony of the Installation by the SOVEREIGN in person, of the Knights Companions of the Order of St. Patrick, took place yesterday at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Great preparations had been made throughout the whole Erie which was to be traversed by the procession going to, and returning from the Cathedral, to afford facilities to spec tators by the erection of platforms and various other contri vances whereon to obtain a seat, or even a standing, but the constant wet during the day, marred, in some degree, this part of the exhibition. Such, however, was the eagerness of the people to get a sight of their King, that even the rain could not force them to quit the posts they had occupi e d, i n t h e h ope of having a glimp se o f his Majesty ; in Angier-street, this was particularly remarkable,: where flags with various devices were displayed. Saint Peter's Church had an extensive scaffolding in front, and a little higher in the street was an elegant arch of lauregfrom which was suspended a transparent medallion, with "G. IV. R. reigns in the hearts of his Irish subjects." Th balconies of the house, from Which this Was thrown, were filled with lovely females, in the bright blue costume, one of Whom Moved a flag as the procession passed, bearing the fol.. lowing inscription in gold letters :—" The Sons and Datigh ters of Erin hail their King !"—The new and handsome apa proach to the Cathedral, which, for the accommodation' Of his Majesty, and the illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, was first prOposa by the Dean to be formed through his own garden, was intended to have been lined for the procession by the • children of the incorporated Society, the King's Hospital, and the charity schools of Dublin ; but this appropriate ar rangement was interrupted by the incessant rain. At each side platforms were prepared, and those in the garden of the Deanery; calculated to accommodate nearly four hundred of the Dean's friends and acquaintance, were, from the same unfortunate circumstance of continued ruin, left almost unoccupied. On the front of the Deanery-house were displayed the King's Arms, with the following motto underneath, " Fear GOD, honour the King." Three royal flags of silk waved on the house and in the garden ; and, had the weather favoured, the whole effect would have been most agreeable and impressiveaa- At so early an hour as seven o'clock in the morning, there was not a coach to be procured for hire in Dublin. This was the cause of many serious disappointments to persons who had not carriages of their own. Many a fair bosom panted in anxious suspense, and would have been as much rejoiced at the sight of a grim hackney coachman rolling up his crazy vehicle, as if it were a bridegroom at another period. Many were resolved to " bide the pelting of the pitiless storm," rather than forego the promised gratification. Accordingly, numbers even of thoge who had tickets for the interior of the Cathedral, were to be seen endeavouring to reach the Chnrch, which was effected - by the greater number, but not without splashed stockings and. wet shoes. The outer aisle of the Ca thedral was thronged at an early hour with a very fashionable assemblage. A space through the middle of the aisle was railed in, along which the procession was to move. The pas sage was carpeted with a rich purple cloth, and the railings were covered in with a bright green baize. On each side seats rose gradually, where many of the most beautiful of our countrywomen appeared, cheering-hnel decorating the - scene. Upon the inside every arrangement had been .made which could in any way contribute to the satisfaction or convenience of the visitors. A number of Gentlemen of high respectability officiated as stewards, who paid the closest attention to see that every individual was .conveniently and suitably placed. The stewards were at their respective stations before nine o",clock ; they were uniformly dressed in blue coats, white waistcoats, breeches and stockings ; each wore a white or pink silk sash, tied•round - hi s wa i st, an d carr i ed a wand. They were well selected for the occasion, and rendered themselves universally . admired for their courtesy and exertions throughout the day. • The arrangements were j u di c i ous l y conceived, and well suited to the occasion, and they were in every respect sedulously and strictly adhered to. • For these excellent arrangements the visi tors ate indebted to Sir William Betharn ; and for the atten tion paid to ourselves, in common with the other members of the Press, we beg to return our particular thanks. At half-past ten o'clock the streets were lined by the military, who were posted in Cork-hill, Dame-street, George's-street, Atm . - gier-street, Kevin-street, to the west gate of the Cathedral.— At one o'clock the King arrived at the Castle from the Park, where his Majesty being robed in the splendid habiliments of the order, and the procession formed, proceeded in his state carriage, accompanied by the Duke of Montrose, to the Ca thedral'. At this hour the joy bells began to ring, and shortly after Wards we noticed the battle-axe guards taking their respec tive places in the passage in the Cathedral. Shortly afterwards the loud and enthusiastic greetings of the people heralded the approach of his Majesty ; he reached the church exactly at 20 minutes to two o'clock. His Majesty was received by the Knights, Esquires, and Officers of the Order, and the Dean and Chapter and Officers of the Cathedral, and conducted through the aisle to the Chapter-room in the following order : Ver g er s -- Choristers—Prebendaries--PursuiVants—Serjeant s at Arms, with their maces—Athl one —E squ i res o f K nights . to be installed, three and three as before—Cork Herald-_ Knights to be installed, two and two as before—Dublin He rald—Esquires of the Earl of Longford—Earl of Longthrtl, Esquires of the Earl of Enniskillen—Earl of Enniskillen-- Esquires of the Marquis of Thomond—Marquis of Thomond— Esquires of Earl O'e‘eill—Etrl O'Neill—Esquires of the .Ilar quess of Headfort—Marquess of Headfort.—Esquires of the Marquess of Conyngliam.—Marquess of Conyngliam.—Ulster. —Genealogist.—Usher.--Secretary, Chancellor.— Prelate.— Sword of State.—THE SOVEHEIGN.—His Majesty's train borne by six Peers' sons.—His Majesty's Esquires.-,Colonel and Officers of the Battle-axe Guards.—The Choir. • The coup d'oeil presented in this - part of the building, when the procession entered the chapter-room, was most splendid. The first Dignitaries of the State were among those who were in the body of the Church, wearing their various orders and insignia. Prince Esterhazy (the Austrian Ambassador), Prin cess Esterhazy, and the 'Marchioness Conyngham, sat in a pow immediately facing the Throne which was to be occupied by his Majesty. The procession having fallen back on each side, his Majesty advanced, and took his seat upon the Throne ; the Knights then came forward successively, according to seniority, and each, with his Esquires, having first bowed to the altar, made their obeisance to his Majesty, after which they stepped backwards, until they reached their places in the choir. The. installed Knights wore their hats—the Knights to be in stalled still held their hats in their hands. The hat of each Knight was covered with a profusion of ostrich feathers, of three colours, crimson, blue, and white. They wore blue and white silk dresses, and the installed Knights large trains. The Knights being all seated in their respective stalls, and their Esquires in front of them, the Dignitaries and PrebendarieS proceeded to their places near the Altar ; and the Choristers being placed in the gallery, in front of the organ, Te Deum was chaunted with a sublime effect. It is impossible to con ceive a more powerfully impressive combination of the Relia gious and State Ceremonial than that afforded at this moment. At the conclusion of the anthem, Ulster, the Heralds, Fur- , suivants, and Esquires of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, proceeded to the chapter-room for the insignia, and re-entered in the following order : Pursuivants.—lleralds.—Ulster King of Arms, with the. Collar on a blue velvet cushion.—Esquire, with Banner.—Man tle.—Sword. On arriving at the table, the Ulster, Genealogist, and Secre tary, went to the front of the stall of the proxy of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, making their reverences to the Sovereign : th e y, wit h t h e proxy, proceeded to the table, where the Lord Primate, as Prelate of the Order, read the ad . monition, "tobe a true servant of Almighty God, and a wor thy Brother and Knight Companion of the most illustrio us Order of St. Patrick •" and the Sover e i gn h av i ng comman d ed the two senior Kni g ht s to descend from their stalls, his Lord ship was by them invested with the Sword and Collar, and the Mantle being placed on his Lordship's right arm, he was re conducted to his stall, making his reverence to the Sovereign, and standing with his hat on, the uninStalled Knights standing up at the same time ; the senior Esquire then unfurled the Banner, and Sir 'Wm. Betham, as Ulster King of Arms, pro claimed the style of his Royal Highness. The Officers of Arms and the Esquires then went to the altar with the Banner; the principal Esquire presented the offering to the Register, who placed it on the altar, and Ulster King of Arms having re ceived the Banner from the Esquire, delivered it to the Register, who placed it within the rails, after which the Esq u i res , & c . , with reverence to the altar and Sovereign, returned to their places. The seat of Grand Master to the Order was unoccupied during the day, the King being on his throne, and Grand .Master, the Lord Lieutenant, occupying his own stall a s Earl Talbot, one of the Kni g ht s . The following is the order in which the new Knights were installed :- 1. The Duke of Cumberland, by his proxy, Lord Graves.._ 2. Marquess of Donegall.-3. Earl of Caledon.-4. Earl Tal bot.-5. Earl of Ormond.-6. Earl of Meath.-7. Earl of Fingall.-8. Earl of Courtown.-9. Earl of Roden. The Knights having been all installed, the ch o i r sung t he anthem, composed by Sir John Stevenson, " 0 L or d , our Go vernor." The principal performers were Messrs. Smith, Wey man, and Jayger, assisted by Mr. Bedford, Sir John Steven son, and Master Ormsby. At half-past three o'clock, the an them being concluded, the Knights advanced, and havi ng ma d e their obeisan ce t o the King retired, bowing to his Majesty, and followed by their Esquires, who observed the same ceremony precisely as they had done at the beginning of the installation. At the passage under the organ, the Knights, &c. retired, their Esquires formed separate lines along the aisle to the door, where the royal carnage was in readiness, and they stood a little advanced, in order toimake th e i r part i ng acknowledgments to the Monarch. His Majesty, attended by his Esquires, his Lords in Waiting, his Grooms of the Bed-chamber, his Equer ries and Pages, passed through the aisle to his carriage. Before the commencement of the ceremony, the Lord Mayor stood in the body of the church, nearly fronting the Throne ; the two High Sheriff's and the City Chaplain stood behind him. This place was not allotted to the Lord Mayor and Sheriff's in the ceremonial. His Lordship occupied the place, we are inform ed, by the permission of the Dean and Chapter ; the Stewards first, and afterwards Sir William Betham, wished to prevail upon his Lordship to retireto some other situation, but the Lord Mayor would not stir ! There being no remedy but force to re move his Lordship and the Sheriffs, and that mode not being deemed fitting, they were furnished with seats, and held their places to the end.
