IS a IAJESTY was particularly engaged with severa l of the Cabinet Ministers : and was not able to receive Addre'sses till near fi ve o'clock.

T he Humble and Dutiful ADDRESS of the COURT of LORD MAYOR and ALDERMEN of the CITY Of LONDON. Most Gracious Sovereign ! We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord - Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, are anxious at the earliest possible opportunity to approach the Throne, and offer our most sincere and cordial Congratulations on your Ma- Jest y's safe and happy arrival in your British Dominions. li es - Irons of evincing the deep interest we take in every cir el'rnstance which can tend to confirm attachment to your Ma iestys sacred Person, as well as veneration for the honour and oof your Crown, we can assure yo u , Si re , th a t yi e ldin g to none in willing and steady allegiance to our King, and in af fectionate devotion to your Royal House, we feel, in grateful sympathy with every h onest h eart , t h e fervent effusions of loyalty which your Royal Presence has excited in every class o your 'Majesty's subjects during your progress. We are fully sensible of the many and great blessings which, order Divine Providence, are secured to us by your Majesty's P a ternal care ; and, as we could not but experience considerable solicitude for the arrival of the hour which would bring back to us our beloved Sovereign in health and safety, so we most ar -4erltl3' join in the general joy at your return. The Shield of Providence has been over you. Long may your Majesty wield the i mPerial sceptre of these realms, under the Divine Protec tion ; long may you preserve the glory and prosperity of the country, and enjoy the consolation of ruling over a free, loyal, and happy 'people. Signed by order of Court, HENRY WOODTHORPE. To which Address his MAJESTY was pleased to return the following answer : It is with the greatest satisfaction that I receive your Congra tulations upon my safe return to my British dominions. The sentiments of loyalty and affection with which I have b een greeted during my absence from this part of my kingdom we 're similar to your own, and to those which I am fully per suaded are entertained by all ranks and descriptions of my faithful subjects throughout the empire. f Tile City of L on d on may confidently rely on my cons t an t "c ) nr and protection, and I humbly trust that a Gracious Pro vidence will assist and prosper my earnest endeavours to pro mote the true interest and happiness of my people. The LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Officers, were most graciooSly received, and had the honour to kiss his MAJE s T - 's hand:, The Gentlemen of the Court of Common Council were then conducted into the Royal presence by the City Remembrancer, when the RECORDER read the following Address : TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The Dutiful and Loyal ADDRESS of the LORD M A YOR, ALDERMEN, and COMMONS of the CITY of LONDON, in Common Council assembled. Most Gracious Sovereign ! We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, approach the Throne with all those sentiments of veneration and respect which are implanted in the minds of a faithful and free people, by the blessings which they enjoy under an invaluable Constitution, and by the pater_ nal regard of a revered and illustrious Monarch. We present ourselves before your Majesty on. this occasion, to offer our sincere and hearty congratulations on your Ma jesty's return to your native country in perfect health and safety. And while we felicitate your Majesty on that spirit of loyalty and affection which has manifested itself in those parts of your Majesty's dominions which you have for the first time recently visited, we feel confident that yo:ir Majesty is perfectly assured that the Citizens of London, in common with the people of Great Britain, will yield to none of your Majesty's subjects in zeal for your service, in attachment to your sacred person, and in a determination to uphold the honour and dignity of your Majesty's Crown. That the same gracious Providence which has protected your Majesty throughout your arduous journies, may still preserve you long to reign in the hearts of your loyal and affectionate people, is the fervent prayer of your Majesty's faithful Citi zens of London. Signed by order of the Court, HENRY WOODTHORPE. To which Address his MAJESTY was pleased o make the following most gracious Answer : I receive with the utmost satisfaction th is testimony of your feelings upon my safe return to my native country. Highly gratified, as I am, with the sentiments of loyalty and affection which have been manifested in those parts of my do minions which I have recently visited, I am perfectly con vinced that the same spirit Animates the Citizens of London, and all classes of my faithful people throughout the British dominions. You may be fully assured of my determination to main tain inviolate all your rights and privileges, and of the arden t solicitude which I shall ever feel for your welfare and pros_ perity. Mr. Oldham, Mr. Ex-Sheriff Williams, and the numerous assemblage of the Court of Common 'Council, had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. The King afterwards called the Lord Mayor to him, and very condescendingly and gra ciously apologized for detaining his Lordship, the Court of Aldermen, and the Gentlemen of the Common Council, and observed-- " I trust, my Lord, that the Corporation of the City of Lon don will excuse my detaining them. I much regret the cir cumstance, and assure you, that nothing but the most import ant and pressing business prevented me from receiving you ex. actly at the time appointed." [His Majesty also very graciously regretted that it had not been in his power to dine with the Corporation on Lord Mayor's Day.] The King gave audiences to the Earl of Liver pool, the Marquess of Londonderry, Viscount Sidmouth, the Marquess of Camden, and Admi ral Young, who delivered to his Majesty the Grand Cross worn by the late Sir W. Young. The Court broke up about six o'clock. ElaL BATHURST.—A very serious accident had nearly befallen the Noble Earl yesterday, while proceeding in his carriage to attend the KING at Carlton Palace. His Lordship had reached the end of the KING'S garden wall, in St. James's Park, when one of the horses became suddenly seized with fits, and staggering forward a few paces, fell, and commenced plunging with his feet till he threw the other horse ; from this situation the Noble Earl was extricated by the prompt assistance of the by-standers. A servant was immediately dispatched to the Palace, and the Marqucrs of LONDONDERRY'S carriage re turned for the Earl, who generously rewarded some laborious persons who had assisted him.— The harness was obliged to be cut to pieces be fore the horses could be got up, and the car riage was left on the spot until fresh horses were sent for. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—As the Civic Procession with the Address to his MAJESTY was turning round the corner of King-street, the horse on which Mr. WoNTNErt., the City Marshal, was mounted, took fright, reared, and threw him. — Mr. WONTNEK retained the bridle in his band, when the animal plunged forward at him as he lay, and fell down upon him. The animal rolled over,him, and plunged in a frightful manner not to be described, and which prevented any one from rendering assistance. When it rose, it plunged again at Mr. WONTNER. as he lay, being probably agitated at the sight of his scarlet uni form. .13-t fe wof those who witnessed the scene conceived that the Marshal was still alive. lie was immediately carried into a shop, and from thence conveyed to his house in Aldgate, where Sir WILLIAM BLiz Ann promptly arrived. One of his legs was broken in two places. The frac tures are compound, and it was apprehended that the limb must be amputated. We regret to state, that we have since received information that his leg has been amputated a little below the knee, and that he continues in a dangerous state. ST. JAMES'S PALAcE.—Great improvements are making in St. James's Palace : the new grand stone stair-case leading to the drawing-room, is nearly completed. It is, we understand, in tended to pull down the whole of the buildings in front of the Court-yard, between the tower at the bottom of St. James's and Marlborough-house wall ; the space is to be inclosed with iron rail ing, and a gate will be opened to communicate with St. James's Park, instead of passing through the Stable-yard. Mrs. EGERTON and Lady MOR- I RAY have quitted their residence in consequence. IRELAND. DunrAN, Nov. 14.—The disturbances in the northern parts Of the.,county of Cork have not been overlooked by the Government even for an hour, as we find that the folloWing Proclamation was issued yesterday; appoititing an extraordi nary establishment of POlice in t‘'vo 13aronie's where the tumultuary spirit had begun to mani fest itSelf:— rly the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland. A PROCLAMATION TALBOT, Whereas, by an Act of Parnment paised ifi the fifty-fourth year a his late Majesty's Reign, entitled "An Act to provide for the better execution of the Laws in Ireland, by appointing superintending Magistrates and additional Constables in Coun ties in certain Cases, " it is amongst other things enacted, that it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Go vernor or Governors of Ireland, for the time being, by the ad vice of the Privy Council of Ireland, to declare by Proclama tion, that any County, County of a City, or County of a Town in Ireland, or any Barony or Baronies, or Half Barony or Half Baronies, in any County at large, to be therein specified, is, or are in a state of disturbance, and requires or require an Extraordinary Establishment of Police. And whereas, it hath sufficiently apeared to Us, that the Baronies of Duhallow, and Orrery and Kilmore, in the County of Cork, are in a State of Disturbance, and require an Extraor dinary Establishment of Police. Now we, the Lord Lieutenant, by and with the Advice of the Privy Council of Ireland, by virtue of the said Act, and of the Powers thereby vested in us, do by this our Proclamation declare that the Baronies of Duhallow, and Orrery and Kilmore, in the County of Cork, are in a state of disturbance, and require an extraordinary Establishment of Police.

On Monday last, a meeting of Magistrates of the Queen's County was held at Maryborough, in consequence of a large body of men having collected, and, by force, carried away corn, po tatoes, and other things, which had been sold at a public sale in that town, under an execution, by the Sheriff of the county. Although the circumstance alluded to was lawless in the ex treme, and effected by a formidable body of men in the noon day, and is, in every respect, an outrage of a most flagrant nature in all its bearings, yet the causes which led to it are ap: parently limited, and do not in their character resemble those which have produced such me lancholy instances of murder and rapine in the more southern districts. The Magistrates, after having summoned a number of persons, who had been witnesses to the outrage adverted to, to attend them on the 15th instant, adjourned their Meeting until that day.—(The Dublin Corres pondent, Nov. 14.) PUBLIC ROUSES.—The Magistrates having come to a determination to suppress gambling of every species in the different public-houses, those of. Mary-le - -bone have caused the following letter to be circulated, cautioning all licensed victual lers against the practice : " Public Office, Mary-le-bone, Nov. 1821. " The Magistrates of this Office having received information that many of the licensed victuallers in this district suffer gam ing in their houses with cards, dice, dominos, and other gam ing implements, have directed me to make known, by way of caution, that they are determined to p revent suc h pract i ces i n future, by a rigid enforcement of the law made for that purpose. (Signed by the Chief Clerk.) " To Mr. keeper of the -; public-house, - street, Mary-le-bone.'• We regret to perceive that the Borough of Quinborowe continues in so disturbed a state that it has been thought necessary, on the part of the Mag istrates, to hold a sp ec i a l G enera l Sessions on Monday next, to consider of the ex pediency of putting in force the duties of watch= ing and warding, for the more effectual preserva tion of the peace, agreeably with the Act of the .52c1 of the late KING. Among other nocturnal proceedings which have lately disturbed the town, on the night of Friday last, some malicious person or persons entered the church-yard, and knocked off the ball from the top of the mauso. leum erected over the family vault of T. Y. GREET, Esq. and otherwise defaced it, and also broke some of the iron railing by which it is sur rounded.—(Kentish Gazette, Nov. 16.) As proof of the singular mildness of the season, and indeed, as corroborative of that mildness ge nerally observed of late years, on the Ist of No vember instant a dish of green pease was gather ed in the garden of Mr. KINGSNORTII, sen., at Kenardington, near Ashford, sufficient for a din ner, at which four persons were present; in the same garden, also, at the same time, an apple tree and arow of pease, were in blossom. _ L . .

(FROM THE GERMAN OF STOLBERG.) Whither doth frantic horror urge My flurried steps ?—O woe is me ! These dark waves roll a sanguine tide— No, no—they are the sea. To the broad earth's remotest verge The wrath of God before me flies, And with a voice that tears my soul ." Vengeance—eternal vengeance," cries. I am accursed—my brother's blood Dashes against this wild seashore ; It shrieks upon the hollow blast-- It thunders in the torrent's roar. As round the craggy wave-worn rock Whirls the impetuous, eddying flood, So fiercelz terror racks my frame From God's decree for Abel's blood. Lay bare thy depths, thou great profound! Shew me the womb of night, thou deep ! Vain prayer—The Avenger waits me there; His eyes are flame—they never sleep— Plunged in thy bottomless abyss, Abel's pale form would meet my sight, As flying—flying, now I see it On the tall mountain's topmost height. E'er since my brother's blood was spilt, 0 woe is me !—O woe is me ! lkly steps the Avenger's curse pursues, It follows—ever follows me! The following quaint LINES were found pencilled on a Tomb. stone in 6 a Church not far from Norwich ; llere I lies upon my back, And this stone lies on me ; And on this stone another lies, As any man may sce. 31ORTUUS LOQUITUR. THE GREAT LORD CHATHA3t.--011C of the fairest specimens , which we possess of his Lordship's ora tory, is his speech in MU for the repeal of the Stamp Act.— Most perhaps who read the report of this speech in Almon's Register, will wonder at the effect which it is known to have produced on the hearers, yet the report is exact. — But they should have seen the look of ineffable contempt with which he surveyed the late Mr. Grenville, who sat within one of him, and should have heard him say, with that look,—" As to the late Ministry—every capital measure they have taken has been entirely wrong." They should also have beheld him when, addressing himself to Mr. Grenville's successors, he said —" As to the present gentlemen, to those, at least, whom I have in my eye--(looking at the bench on which Mr. Conway sat)- 1 have no objection : I have never been made a sacrifice by any of them. Some of them have done me the honour to ask my poor opinion before they would engage to repeal the Act : they will do me the justice to own, I did advise them to en gage to do it ; but, notwithstanding—(for I love to be expli cit)--I cannot give them my confidence. Pardon me, Gen tlemen—(bowing to them)—confidence is a plant of slow growth." Those who remember the air of condescending pro tection with which the bow was made, and the look given when he spoke these words, will recollect how much they themselves at the moment were both delighted and awed, and what they themselves then conceived of the immeasurable supe riority of the orator over every human being that surrounded him. In the passages which we have cited there is nothing which an ordinary speaker might not have said; it was the man..: ner, and the manner only, which produced the effect. An Officer belonging to the 18th hussars, at the battle of Waterloo, lost hiS favourite horse, which ran over to the French lines. A great value was set upon the animal by the gentleman who owned it, and its loss was consequently regret ted. It happened seine time after the officer was at a review of French cavalry, as a spectator, and to his surprise, among the many around him, he recognised his old favourite in the possession of one of the officers. After the review he waited, upon the gentleman, and as a matter of curiosity, inquired how he came by the horse in question. The reply was, it was pur chased of a Commissary, intimating at the same time, after the circumstances were related, that a fair price would not be refused for it, should the Englishman be again desirous of possessing it, The sum was agreed on, and the horse again became the pro perty of its original master, who a short tim e s i nce , w ith th e horse, -was in Brighton.—(Brightcin Gazette.) r 4 1 A: ..-, • , , ... , d r•-•., 4 f, lalw , s•,,:` •• .; It. 1 L.4 •p ) '' - -.• • t ) , ~. iv teb 6 ' rt e .,*S.".?•,-, ;—..:::' ''-4.5 - 4 - A,, , '''' , , -5 1 %; ' ke 40 r OP k ifff l orgi t4o. t` ,,, r / AK TIIE ARMY.

[From the French Papers.] An occurrence which took place yesterday (Sunday last) in the Bois de Boulogne, and which is at this moment the object of ,the most active researches, has already given rise to numerous and diversified reports. The following is the most certain information which we have been able to collect respecting it : " The Sieur Menette, horse-patrol of the Crown Forests, was making his accustomed tour during the ,afternoon of Sunday, when he per ceived a man concealed in the bushes, and ad vanced towards him. The stranger called to him to stop; but Menette continued to advance, anti the individual fired a pistol at him. Menette's horse made a plunge and threw him. When he got up he saw the man making off, and, was unable to pursueshim. lie found on the spot a double barreled gun, and a little further a hat, which the stranger had, doubtless, lost on taking to flight. " The gun and hat have been deposited with the Magistrates. On drawing the charge of. the former it was found to contain about 20 buck shot. A name is inscribed inside the hat ; we think it our duty to forbear mentioning it, from motives which may easily be appreciated." The Constitutionel adds to the above :—" Various rumours are to-day in circulation respecting this affair. %re wait to communicate to our readers more exact and authentic informa tion. Justice has taken cognizance of it." SIR CHRISTOPIIER ROBINSON, lately elevated to the Bench in the Commons, was educated at the Charter House, and was cotemporary with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. The same School has also to boast of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Lord Chancellor of IRELAND, and the Earl of WESTMORELAND. A testy old gentleman was incessantly pestered by his neighbours with inquiries after his health : at last, losing all patience with the most assi duous of these inquirers—" Tell. your master," said he to the servant, 44 with my compliments, that I am pretty well this morning, and shall continue so for twenty-one mornings to come."
