If Sir WALTER was conspicuous for exertion and activity , during the Royal visit, it would be inferred by every liberal mind that he quitted the general modesty and diffi dence of his personal character, because the chief persons of Scotland, proud of his genius, and observing the distinction with which he was noticed by his MAJESTY, were anxious that their favourite Poet should be prominent on an occa sion so interesting as the presence of their Sove reign. It may, therefore, we say, be inferred that the worthy Baronet was urged by the laudable national pride of his countrymen to take a conspicuous part on the occasion.— Besides, is it not probable that, as the KING must doubtless have read the various pro ductions of the Scottish Bard, his MAJESTY was himself desirous of manifesting his sense of the pleasure which those productions afforded him, and felt additional pleasure in marking his admiration - of the author? Such are the deductions which every generous and en lightened mind would draw from the natural pro-- Sir WALTER . minence of oar SCOTT, on au occasion so interesting to his Country as the visit of the Sovereign of the greatest intellectual Empire on Earth. Scotland was delighted that her great modern. Poet should enjoy a distinction suitable to his talents and his fame ; and his MAJ ESTY was gratified in the opportunity of sheaving, sur rounded as he was by Nobility, and greeted by the universal acclamations of a loyal People, that he was desirous to mark his sense of GENIUS by the most condescending affability and kind ness, demonstrating at once taste, judgment, and gracious condescension. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town in his travelling carriage and four on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagshot. The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of the KING yesterday. We have already mentioned that there are now three Marchionesses of LONDONDERRY, al though the creation of the title is so new as 1816. it is further remarkable, that there were lately three contemporaneous Countesses of BUCIIING uAltsxrac, all relatives of the Marchioness of LONDONDERRY, lately Lady CASTLEREAGH, one of whom was her Ladyship's mother. We are sorry to learn the indisposition of the Duke of WELLINGTON. His Grace has been confined to his bed for two days. He got up, however, on Thursday afternoon, and it is un derstood that he was considerably better pester day.—plorning Chronicle.) LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 4.-Mr. CANNING left Sea forth House, this morning, for Staffordshire. About one hundred gentlemen waited for him at Low-hill, and about sixty equestrians proceeded about four miles on the London-road, and then took leave of a man, whose abilities and urbanity of manner have endeared him to all his consti tuents. Whatever may be Mr. CANNING'S future destination, he bears with him the warmest wishes for his health and prosperity.—The new ship New York is now off this port from New York; she sailed 16th August, but there has not been any communication with her. Our readers, we doubt not, are generally aware, that when Mr. CANNING was invited to the dinner which was, given to him on Friday last, a sum, exceed. log one thousand guineas, was subscribed by his friends for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate, which they intended to present to him on that occasion, in testimony of the high sense which they entertained of the many and impor tant services which he has rendered to this town and to the empire at large. Owing, however, to the unavoidable delay inseparable from the exe cution of the artist's design, which, we under stand, are particularly characteristic, some fur ther time is necessary to enable Messrs.RtrsnELL and Co. to complete the work in their best manner, CRELMSFORD, SEPT. 6.—On Sunday evening , last I.lst inst.). a. sermon was preached on the deathof the late Marquis of LoNnorinEaftr, by the. Rev. Jour HUNT, the newly appointed In dependent Minister of this town. The subject was confessedly delicate, and the announcement of it excited great attention, but it was treated in a. manner which gave universal satisfaction., The text.was taken from the 9th , ehapter of Jere miah, the 23d and part of the 24th verses—=' " Thus said' the Lord, let not the wise man , glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man. glory in his irught , ; let not' the rich man glory in his riches, but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and .knoweth me that I am the Lord which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth." The object of the preacher seemed to be to shew the inadequacy of the most brit. liant attainments, to preserve us from the cala , mities incident to humanity, and the necessity - of .the knowledge of GOD to supply the deficiencies of all human science. Ile avoided (and Nre think very properly) touching on party politics, while he bore the most ample testimony to the splendid talents and private virtues of the Noble Lord.—(Chelmsford Chronicle.) ECONOMY IN MANAGING TnE POOR RATES.--- , The parish of Minster, in the Isle of Sheppy, which i nc l u d es 'the populous town' of Sheerness, have recently adopted the plan of having a permanent Overseer, by whose active exer tions, together with the low prices of provisions the claims upon the parish funds have been l ess by £1230 100. during the last year than the preceding one, clearly demonstrating the benefit resulting from a spirited individual giving undivided at tention to the management of the poor.

On Saturday his Royal highness closes his so journ at the Palace, and sets off, as we understand, for Pet worth Castle, to enjoy the seasonable diversion of. shooting, with the Earl of Egremont, and a select party of Nobility, on his Lordship's domain. Colonel Cooke, for London, again left the Palace this morning—the present suite of the Commander in-Chief is, therefore, limited to the Secretary, Mr. Dighton, and . General Upton.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY. - Extract of a Letter from Feriy Harty, east end of the Island of Shep - py, dated sth of :S'ept. 1822. • In excavating by the side of the slope hill be• longing to Mr. YOtING, where - they are making a well, they have found an entire hut or small house buried under the earth, apparently from part of the hill falling down and covering it. It is of the most remote antiquity, and I have prevailed on them not further to demolish this extraordinary antique, but to clear away the rubbish ; for which , we have sent to Sheerness for assistance. Two skeletons have been found. The build ing had no roof, or it might have been of some perishable ma terial ; the walls were wood, and no iron or other metal is seen. There are flints and hard stones, apparently intended for axes, and cutting instruments, with handles of wood, quite complete, and in good preservation ; and earthenware utensils (one ap pears to have been a lamp) ; a few fish-hooks of hard stony horn, and an immo.se quantity of a kind of horse hair. Mr. Barrow, the resident Commissioner of Sheerness, has arrived ; and by his desire a fence will be erected to enclose and pre serve this extraordinary remnant of antiquity. THE RETORT COURTEOUS.---A Member of one of the learned professions was driving his Bennet along the road at Tooting, in Surrey, when he overtook a pedlar, with his pack, and inquired what he had to sell. The man produced, among other things, a pair of cotton braces—they were sixpence, he szid. The Gentleman paid the money, and then said, " You have, I suppose, a licence.—" Y---e—s," was the reply, hesi tatingly. I should like to see it." After some further delay, it was produced. "My good fellow, all's right I see. Now, as Ido not want these things, y ou hall have them again for three-pence." The bargain was struck; but how surprised was the querist to find a summons to attend the County Magistracy, sitting at Croydon. The Gentleman 'was convicted in the full penalty, for selling goods in the King's highway, without a hawker's license—he is a lawyer. FAI RTES.—Strange as it may sound in this en lightened age, a correspondent informs us, that there is at pre sent a great talk of Fairies having been seen about half-way on the old line of road betwixt Portpatrick and Stran raer. According to the gossips, nothing could exceed the beauty and splendour of the elfin cavalcade ; and if report speak true, the Usher of the 'White Rod had better look well to his laurels, and.prepare himself for a sturdier competition than he has yet encountered. Agreeably to use and wont, the aerial peple were dressed, to admiration, and while winding their. tiny bugles, and careering on their foam bell steeds, they-appeared as superior. to an earthly pageant as a rainbow is to a tartan ribbon. At the date of our correspondent's letter (Aug. 29), a number of the inhabitants of Stranraer had gone to watch and " sit up" with the fairies, as the great .Samuel Johnson did with the Cock-lane :ghtsst. The. Ettrick Shepherd has lately published 44. Mask, intended to , celebrate ,the Royal visit, in which the 'fairies act a distinguished part': 'and it is not impossible that the dy e s seen near the Port, were . lidy t of; the same squadjourney ing from Holyhead, and enjoyi ng themselves a little before repairing to their retreat among the Hebrides.—(Dumfries Courier.) - The KOlit Herald gives the following account of the wounding of Capt. OwEN ;—" On Thursday the 28th ult. Capt. Owen, of the Bellerophon 'convict hulk, at Sheerness, re ceived a severe stab in the left side from a convict, whom he was reprimanding for bad behaviour.: The convict had been receiv ed on board only on.the preceding Monday, and had continually evinced syniptoms of insubordination-; on the day above-men tioned he was sent on shore to work, and would not, and was of course sent on board again, and whilst receivinga reprimand from Captain 0 gen, he drew his hand from his bosom, where he had kept it all the time, at a moment when Capt. Owen turn ed his head to look at some object, and gave hiiii a hack-handed blow with a sharp pointed knife, which passed between his ribs and touched the lungs. Symptoms of convalescence ap peared on Friday and Saturday last, but the life of the worthy Capt. is now despaired of, it being feared that a mortification has taken place. Mr. Capper arrived on board on Saturday, and gave orders for the future disposing of the miscreant, till the pleasure of the Secretary of State for the Home Department is known." SWIMMING.--We copy from a German Paper the following paragraph, which if interesting to the inland provinces of Germany, ought not to be neglected in Great 13ritain, surrounded as it is by the element in which the art can be taught and practised with the greatest benefit " On the afternoon of the 24th ult. the Grand Duke of BADEN was pleased to inspect the Swimming School of Illanheim, and to be present at the various evolutions, which the troops of the garrison performed with great precision and effect, first in the Rhine and afterwards in the Neckar. There were many spectators assembled, who highly applauded the dexterity of the swimmers; who having placed their muskets and cartouches in large baskets, drew than with great apparent ease across ,the pleckar." „ „ • • • _ . _ P.O Trz Y.

(From the Philadelphia nonklin Gozette.)— The following is the conclusion of a will made by Dr. FRANKLIN as early as the year 1757, on the - eve of sailing to England. It has, we be lieve, never before - been in print, and is now published as an additional proof of the pure sentiments and virtuous principles of that great man : " And now humbly returning sincere thanks to God for pro ducing me into being, and conducting me hitherto through life so happily, so free from sickness, pain, and trouble, and with such a competency of this world' s goods as might make a r-a sonable mind easy; that he was pleased to give me such a mind, with moderate passions, or so much of his gracious assist ance in governing them, and to free it early from ambition, avarice, and superstition, 'common causes of much uneasiness to men ; that he gave me to live so long in a land of liberty, with a people that I love, and raised me, though a stranger, so many friends among them, bestowing on me, moreover, a loving and prudent wife and dutiful children ; for these and all other innu merable mercies and favours, I bless that Being of Beings who {toes not disdain to care for the meanest of his creatures. And I reflect on those benefits received with the greatest satisfec don, as they gave me such a confidence in his goodness as will, I hope, enable me always in all things to submit freely to his will, and to resign my spirit cheerfully into his hands, when ever he shall please to call for it; reposing myself securely in the lap of God and Nature, us a child in the arms of an affec tionate parent. " 11. FRANKLIN." FRENCH ACTORS insulted in ENGLAND The cruel and unworthy treatment of which the English Actors now in France have to complain, though little creditable to the French nation, is not wholly without a parallel. Foreigners of talent, except in moments of popular excitation, meet with the most liberal encouragement in this country, as numerous actors and artists can testify. But a cen tury ago a French company of Comedians were as scandalously • used in England as the British performers have recently been in France. The, following curious facts from the life of Qu IN, the celebrated actor, published in 17G6, will place this in a strong point of view, and be read with some interest at the pre sent moment : " The French tongue had, bt the artifice of Louis the Fourteenth's Administration, been industriously promulgated throughout Europe ; it was spo!;en at all the Courts, and bid fair to be the universal language ; a necessary step, according to the opinion of that all-grasping Prince, towards universal empire. To this end Comedians were trained up in France, and at convenient times dispersed throughout 'the capital cities of Europe; and this was thought a favourable juncture for them to make their appearance at London. The projectors of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket were so infatuated as to imagine French Comedies would amuse and instruct the town, and absolutely introduced them upon that stage. But the public took the alarm, and even resolved to suppress the insult, as every true Englishman then considered it. The curtain drew up with the actors, surrounded by guards, well knowing they stood in need of much protection ; but this step do way intimidated the audience, who being resolved not to let them go on, began regularly with cat-calls, then a volley of pippins, and thirdly, a general discharge of rotten eggs. The proprietors were now terrified, more especially when they found the soldiers remain I motionless, and quaking behind the scenes at the consequences. At length, as their last resource, they sent for Justice DEVEILL to read the Riot Act. But Sir THOMAS, so far from being allowed to proceed in this business, found himself under the absolute necessity of ordering, with his own voice, both troops and actors off the stage. The warriors and comedians being now retired, the ' audience thought it was time to testify their resentment to the proprietors, for their impru dent and insolent attempt, and accordingly demolished with. out reserve benches, scenes, and decorations. Nor did the Ambassadors of France and Sp a i n , who were present upon this occasion, escape with impunity, but had a share of abuse to divide between them proportioned to their rank, and which they were compelled to bear, .as they could not get away; the cutting of the brace of their carriages having been judged a very proper preliminary step to make sure of the honour of their company, during this whole comi-tragic farcical conflict. The spirit which was shewn against the French Comedians engen dered many tumults, which the undiscerniug multitude imagin ed equally popular and national, as the exposition to Gallic Performers and performances. This contagion spread from the Haymarket to Drury-lane." ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new piece, en titled The fair Gabrielle, was represented for the second time last night, and fully confirmed in public favour. Oa account of the sudden . in disposition of Miss Po vEy, the part of Estelle was assigned to Mrs. J. WEippART, late Miss STi- PHENSON, who performed it with great spirit and pleasantry. Gtl Bias, now ,reduce:l into two . acts, is certainly more compact, anclis altogetlwr more analogous to the charicter of the hero, as drawn in the original admira,ble,romance. Drury-lane Theatre is, the.ensuing season, to make a bold dash " Hit or Mis.s." Miss STE -pittiti and Mr. LISTON'• signed articles with the Manager on Monday fast.. In *addition to the dramatic performances, ROO are to be•given in.a style new to the English stage, the first of which is to be produced 'by D'EGvILLE,.in* which Mr. and Mrs. 05C4,,. BYRNE and Mr. NOBLE are to appear.— ( Moi-ning Herald.) • Mr. PUTNA*.—This Gentletrian,• who held a very.respectable situation,at Drury-lane Theatre, and has since distinguished himself at Edinburgh as an - Actor and public Reader, has, we find, been making a tour in the latter capacity through the several towns which surround the Metro= polis, with the success which his talents amply merit. A pleasant Mode of . punishing an Alderman. —ln Strype's Stow, vol. 2, page 238, is the following Extract from the ancient City Records : Nicholas Whyfford, or Wilford, an' Alder man, having neglected to line his cloak, which he ought to use in the procession ; therefore it is adjudged by the. Court that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen shall all, breakfast with him.— This penalty is awarded on him as a punishment for his cove tousness." ANCIENT CITY IN AMERICA.—The ruins of an extensive city, said 'to have been.discovered a few years since in Quatimala, Mexico, have been surveyed by a learned ' S paniard, and draw ings made of its curiosities,;Which have been sent to London, and will soon,be presented, to the world.

Everhart the only sur viving cabin passenger, .on his retur,u_ta, Philadelphia. This narrative establishes the fact, that the noted General Lefebvre' Desnoueites was one of`the sufferers When the ship was thrown .on beam ends, a prodigious, destruction took place below ; the dours of the state rooros,the tables bound with iron, the furniture, were all dekroyed and thiiiivn into heaps. Many 'of the passengers were severely illja - red!; General Lefebvre Desnouettes had one of his arms broken;. Colonel Prevost was wounded in the face: She soon ' righted, the water which was shipped in the cabin was let belovt-, so that the _pasiengers until near three in the morning were : as comfortable as they could be under these distressing circumstances. . From the time of her shipping the first sea at eight O'clock, until near three in the morning, Capt a i n Willi ams conceale d their imminent danger from the passengers, consoling them with the hone of relief at day-light, and of the vinds coming off shore. They were th us save d m u c h anx i ety and distress for the five hours preceding the total destruction of the ship. At about ten minutes before three, the captain perceiving the ship to be embay e d an d near the breakers, communicated the intelligence and ordered every one - on board forward, - which Mr. Everhart considers was the most prudent thing - that could be done. Mr. Everhart, from extreme weakness, was th: last up the companion, crawling on his hands and knees. At the top he found Madame Gamier and her child in great distress : he assisted her as well as he could across the lumber on the d :.ck, forward. The ship struck on two 'or three rocks be'ore she came to the reef where she- lost her bottom ; and her de :ks, barely hinging together, were floated inside the reef, mm •nse' swells covering all the passengers from time to time. -About an hour after she crossed the zed, the swells iner:ased in bulk and frequency. Among the last persons he saw alive at this time was young Mr. Hyde Clarke, 'holding his wife ; and at this period the swells entirely cove-ed the forecastle, and drowned all who were there. Colonel Prevost by Feat exertions reached the rock which Mr. Everhart . . had gained, but was washed off: Mr. E. hail barely room to stand on one foot. It was a rock that jutted out from the main land. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke's bodies were found and interred,' and Many of the pas: sengers some weeks after were washed ashore, so much mutilat ed that it was impossible to recogn,ize them. ; The sailors at an early period were in a state of insubordination : many- would not obey orders, and got drunk." MoanEa.—On Thursday evening an Inquisi tion was taken at the sign of the Britannia, in Golden-lane, Cripplegate, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mary Faircloth, about 33 yearsof age, who was found dead in her bed on Tuesday morning last, when the several witnesses deposed to the following facts :—Deceased was a widow,- but had cohabited with a man, named Thomas Lee, for the last five years; they had resided for some time past it No. 1, Nag's Bead -court, Golden4ine, and their child, about three years old, lived with them. An n 'Walker, an elderly woman, who lodges at the corner of the court, stated that de:. ceased had been ill since Monday, the 26th ult. ; that she fre quently visited her during her illness, whit!' confined her to her bed; that she went to see heron Friday the 30th ult., and remained with her some time ; that on that occasion, Thomas Lee being present, deceased said to her, " I shall never get out of bed again ; that rogue, Tom, has given me my death-bl ow ! h e h as murdered me !" bee must have heard her ; he made no re mark, but stood by the fire, warming hisliands. The witness further Stated, that the deceased subsequently and frequently informed her, that on the evgiting of Monday, the 26th August, Lee had used her in the in t barbarous manner, had streck and kicked her, till she fell, and then „jumped on her left' breast ; it was this treatment that cattaed her illness: witness believed that the deceased was -fully aware of her dangerous situation, as she repeatedly declared that she should never again leave her bed. Sarah Colwyn and ;Martha Kendrick .seve rallydeposed to the ill-treatment of the Vaceased by Lee, to her relation of his barbarous usage on Monday the 26th of August, and to her statement of his giving her . " her death-blow. Two apothecaries ascribed her death to the injuries she had re ceived. The Coroner aditressed the Jury at some length, and in a most perspicuous manner ; he thoughethe facts would fully authorize them to find such a verdict as should refer the case to ' another tribunal. The Jury immediately found a verdict of Wilful Murder against Thomas Lee." A warrant was imme diat'ely issued against Lee, who has nut been heard of since he left his house at six o'clock on Tuesday . morning. He is about 55 years of age, by trade a smith, and torked for Mr. flop craft, of Doswell-street.
