The following letter, upon the subject, from Mr. PEEL, has been received by the Lord Provost of that city " Whitehall, July 26, 1822. " MY LoRD—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's Letter ; and, having communicated it to his MAJESTY, I am commanded to express his great regret that it will not be in his power to visit the city of Glasgow dur ing the period to which his stay in Scotland must necessarily be limited " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's most obedient and very humble Servant, " ROBERT PEEL " The Lord Provost of Glasgow, &c. &c." [From the Caledonian Mercury.] None of the Royal Dukes are expected to visit Scotland on this occasion ; and we believe the Royal visit will not extend beyond the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. [From the Inverness Journal.l We are informed that his Majesty will for certain visit the Duke of Athol. Prepara tions are, it is said, making for a grand stag hunt to be given during his stay at Blair. The whole tailorage of the north-east of Perthshire are now busy in equipping the tenantry' of the Duke of Athol in proper cos tume. There is a report that his Majesty will also visit Gor don Castle and Dunrobin, but very little credit is given to it. [From the Edinburgh Observer.] One spirit seems to pervade all ranks of people ; terunani mous feeling seems to be , that Edinburgh shall appao our Monarch as Edinburgh ought to appear, the second city in the British empire, and consequently the second city in the world. She may not be entitled to this rank, perhaps, n respect of her population, or of her wealth, but in what other respects can she lose her claim to this station ? BODY GUARD.--His Majesty has been graciously pleased to com mand the services of his Royal Company of Archers, who will do duty in the Palace, as the band of pensioners do upon Levee and Drawing-room days in London. The reddendo of the Royal Company's Charter is to present a pair of barbed arrows to the King. These are in preparation. PROGRESS TO THE CASTLE.—The arrangements for this procession are going on{ but cannot be finally fixed until some idea can be had of the numbers of different bodies who have expressed their an xious wish to attend upon thigs occasion It, . is contemplated that the Clergy shall take their station oppo site to St. Giles's, and that the Members of the Senatus Acade micus shall be placed next to the College of Justice, and op posite to the County Hall. Such of the students as may be in town will have a place assigned them towards the Lawn market. The students, it has been rumoured , wi ll not onl y wear the general badge of " Welcome to Scotland," but also the peculiar distinction of their countries ; as the Thistle, the Rose, the Shamrock, or the Leek. BANQUET.-r-The works in the Parliament House are in considerable forwardness, and were inspected by the Lord Pro vost and the proper Officers on Saturday. The King's ,table is placed upon a platform at the south end, elevated by three or foutsteps, and is of an irregular ellip tic form ; the Sovereign will be seated in the centre of it, under a crimson velvet canopy, so as to see the whole company, whose tables will be placed along each side,-similar to those at the Coronation Ban quet. The Royal Arms will be placed at the south, and those of the City at the north end. The Advocates' Library will used by the Sovereign as a with drawing-room ; and the company will be accommodated in that of the Writers. It is understood that his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT Of IRELAND will go to Scotland i❑ his yacht, on the occasion of his MAJESTY'S visit, accompanied by Sir Wm. BETHADI, Ulster King at Arms, and other official i)ersonages.—(lllonz ing Herald.) THE PROROGATION. -- Lord GWYDYR, e Lord Great Chamberlain of England, and D.

The Lord Great Chamberlain's regu lations regarding the issuing of tickets, the forms to be observed by the Peers, Peeresses, &c., will appear in Saturday night's Gazette, dated from his Lordship's office and apartments in the House of Lords. His MAJESTY will leave Carlton Palace at half-past one o'clock, so as to be at the House of Lords by two o'clock on Tuesday next. That is the hour that has generally been adopted by his MAJESTY, on proceeding to open or pro rogue the Parliament. The KING'S state-coach will, as previously stated, be drawn by the cream coloured horses, it is at present under. stood. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, AU G. I.—The Rev.

BEARDMORE.—We feel much regret in 1 ann ouncing the death of this Lad y . She was I well known to the public, when Miss PARE.E, as one of the most celebrated Musicians of this Country. As a vocal, Performer, and in science, taste, and skill, on the Piano-forte, she had very few equals. She was the elder daughter of Mr. PARSE, sen., a Gentleman, whose excellence as a Performer on the Oboe, and whose personal worth, have raised his name into high and just estimation. —Mrs. BEARDMORE was distinguish ed, in private life,for good sense, general know ledge, unaffected ease , and elegance of manners, and for every quality that could endear her to an affectionate husband and family, and to a large circle of friends, who will deeply lament the 1 loss of so amiable and accomplished a character. We learn from a source on which we can place reliance, that the business in Manchester, Leeds, and other manufacturing districts of England, is at present going on briskly and advantageously. Such is the abundance of money in London, that, our Correspondent informs us, any sum can be obtained at two per cent. interest.—(Glasgozo Courier, .lulg 30.) We understand that the Mayor of this town has written to the Lord Mayor of Dunr.lN, re specting the contagious fever said to have been lately brought here by some of the poor Irish. Ilis Lordship has stated in reply, that the city of Dublin never was more free from fever than at this time, and that he has reason to believe no persons afflicted with that disorder have recently embarked for England. We are happy to add, that the town of Liverpool was never more free from infectious fevers than at the present mo ment.—(Livapool Courier.)

FUNEL OF Yvsterday afternoon the ceremony of removing the remains of this celebrated and much.lamented Actor, for interment, took place, when the deepest.interest seemed to pre vail in the breasts of numbers of individuals, of every class, who assembled round the house of the deceased, prior to the removal of the body.—At about three o'clock, a hearse, followed by five mourning coaches, drove up to the deceased's house in Hyde street, Bloomsbury, and, in a short time after, the coffin con taining thabody was brought from the house and deposited in the hearse. It bore the following inscription : " Mr. John Emery, died July 26th ' 1822, aged 45." In the mourning coaches w e observed the following indivi duals, viz.—Horatio, Robert, John and William Emery, son s of the deceased, were in th e first coach ; as Chief Mourners. In the second were Messrs. John Thompson, William Ross, Simeon Smith, Hardy, and Mr. Charles Emery. id Messrs. Thomas Clarke, Henry Gubbins, Edward Smith, Bullock, and Myers. 4th. Messrs. Egerton, C. Taylor, Brandon, Chapman, and McCullock. sth Mr. A. Elliston, Mr. T. Dibdin, Mr. Rouse, and Mr. Finnic. The procession moved slowly on through Hyde-street, Bury place,i Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square, Southampton-street,olborn, and so on to St. .Andrew's Church-yard, where, on its arrival, a vast concourse of spectators had assembled to view the ceremony. On the coffin - being taken from the hearse, the mourners alighted from the carriages and were j oined b y Messrs. Bartley, Callahan, Mountain, -and other Gentlemen forming the com pany at the Lyceum Theatre, who followed in procession to the body of the Church, preceded by the clergyman reading part of the funeral 'Service. The pews of the Church were already crowded, and amongst the auditory we recognized the features of many ancient actors, who attended to witness the last cere- . mony performed over their respected brother. After the ceremony of reading the funeral service, the pro cession moved towards the vault at the Holborn side of the Church, where the body was deposited. 'We have infinite pleasure in communicating to our Readers the pleasing prospect of this benevolent Subscription, being equal to the best eneetation formed by his numerous friends. Hardly an hour passes without fresh proof being - given of the extraordinary anxiety of the public .to render effectual aid to this distressed tardily. The Committee had it in contempla tion to alter the prices of admission on the Benefit night, but after due consideration, this has been overruled. However, the feeling of the benevolent is not to be restrained ; and yes terday Mr. Robins communicated to his brethren in this good work of charity, that Mr. Melville had given him for one box ticket 101.. and that several friends had at his table yesterday given one guinea each for box tickets, as well as five guineas each for private boxes. He had also to compliment the Pro prietors of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, who have most libe rally contributed ten guineas, with the use of all or any part of their vocal company. The Actors, and Actressel are adopting the same spirit, and subscribing in the proportion their means will afford. At the bead of this list stands Mr. Braham, n who has sent 10/. ; Mrs. Bartley, ,5/. • ' Miss Carew, two g guineasuieas ; Miss Foote, two guineas ; Mr. Kemble, five guineas ' • little Clara Fisher, a guinea, &c. &c. The Proprietor of Astley's Theatre (Mr. Davis), has most generously volunteered the use of this unequalled stud, to be used in any manner the Com mittee may find useful on Monday. The Band of the English .Opera House have gratuitously volunteered their services. Mr. Robins stated that he had been favoured with a kind letter from Lord Essex, enclosing 20/. in aid of this most laudable charity. We must again testify our respect for Mr. George Robins, who on the present and on all occasions that call for his exertions, is as much distiniuished for an indefatigable spirit of humanity, as be is for his professional knowledge and rectitude. MISS PATON.—The Haymarket 'theatre has a very great acquisition in this young lady, who is not only an admirable singer, but a capital performer on the piano-forte and the harp. — She is also, we understand, a fine dancer, and, to crown the whole, she possesses a very amiable character in private life. Miss P. holds a very high rank as a concert singer, and, if she should display correspondent merit as an actress, the public as well as the Theatre will have reason to rejoice that she has been tempted to appear on the stage. Such an assemblage of talents is really wanted in the present condition of the stage, SLAVE TR!

The Vigilant fought, until board ed by our boats. lam sorry to say we had two men killed in the engagement, and several wounded. The boats were commanded by Wm. Mildmay Bunt, of this ship, and the Myrmidon. I am sorry to inform you that, since writing the above, we have received news of the Yacaram being upset in a tornado, and 300 slaves and 23 of our seamen have perished —shocking acci dent. We shall be paid for the slaves, the Governor informs us ; in fact Sir R. Mendes has the documents from this place for that purpose. IRISH PAUPERS. Yesterday a case of importance to parishes, and interesting to every friend of humanity, came on before Alderman J. J. SMITH, the presiding Magistrate at the Town Hall Office Southwark, in the shape of an a pp lication for parochial relief, by a poor Irish pauper, against the directors of the poor of St. , Olave's parish. The church-wardens resisted the claim, on the,ground that the pauper was not entitled to re lief,but ought to be passed home to his own country, agreeably to the provisions of the Vagrant Act, which the Magistrates in most parts of the country have lately declined acting on rigidly, from a feeling of humanity, in consequence of the present un happy condition of Ireland. Mr. Alderman SMITH informed the pauper that he must get work, and support himself as the rest of his countrymen do, for he had no power to make the parish minister to his wants, and the only other alternative was to pass him home, which he cer tainly would not do. At the mention of the alternative, poor Paddy gave a despair ing shrug, then walked out sadly dejected. After a pause of a few seconds, the Churchwarden addressed the Magistrate, expressing his surprise that the laws relative to Irish paupers were not now enforced with the same rigor as heretofore. The Act of Parliament was imperative; and ex pressly states, that all persons who came under the denomina tion of paupers were to be passed to the place of their nativity. The law allowed no discretion, and he thought it hard, whilst ,this was the case, that his own parish, for instance, should be put to an expence of 101. a-week to support strangers, who ought to stay in their own country, whilst the adjoining parish of St. Saviour's was rightly availing itself of the benefit of the Act, and getting rid of all their Irish poor. The Alderman denied that the parish of St. Saviour's had made any application to, him for such a purpose, or that any had been passed by himself. The Churchwarden admitted this ; they had taken them be. fore other Magistrates, who would put the law in operation, and the parish of St. Olave would be obliged to do the same, for the Committee thought they ought not to be s addled withe ex- pense of supporting so many persons who had no claim upon their sympathy. Alderman SMITH replied. He said it surprised him much to hear the heads of any parish recommend a proceeding of the sort suggesed against the thousands of poor refugees from Ireland, during the present shocking distress which prevailed there, and to which that proceed in g would add most materially. How ever he could not supersede the powers of an Act of Parlia ment • an d however he might dep lore the awful visitation which'had befallen Ireland, he was bound to do his duty ;a he did not sit there to indulgepity, but to administer justice nd if any of !the wretched beings alluded to were'brought before him, he should be compelled to p and ass them torom their homes to meet all the horrors of pence want f which they had already sought a refuge. This, however, would be a tribute paid to the Laws in which his own feelings, would have no share, and which he should not carry into eXecu tion without great reluctance. He hoped, however, there was no one so cruel as to impose this hard task upon his feel ings, during the present condition of the unhappy country in question. The Churchwarden was by no meats satisfied. He still urged that the law ought to be put in force, and threatened he would take the paupers in future to the other offices. Mr. Alderman SMITH.—You must do as' you please, Sir ; you know my sentiments upon the subject. If you compel me to put th‘e law in force, I must do so ; but I would advise y ou to take the sense of the Parish upon the matter first, and see what support it will obtain. —The Churchwarden then retired. there are him.

ALE.--A Correspondent says—" The present low price of barley, and the late reduction in the Malt Duty, have not generally produced those effects which might have been expected. If the brewers had a fair profit in 1799 and 1800, what must be their gains in 1822, when grain is so remarkably low ? I would ask , is the q ualit y of the ale any better, or is the meure improved since the: former period, when corn sold so easxtravagantly high ? Every one who remembers any thing of the matter will instantly answer, they are both much worse. Some means ought surely to be taken both to improve the quality of the ale and to lower its price."—( Whitehaven Gazette. ) WORTHING, JULY 30.—The following melan choly occurrence took place about noon yesterday, near the village of Lancing, in this vicinity. Three youths of the names of (lomery, Harwco 1, and Kimber, about sixteen and eighteen years of age, and a boy of the name of Tate, who were employed, some at plough and others reaping, in the Millfield, left their respective occupations in consequence of a heavy shower, and took shelter under a shelving part of a neighbouring chalk-pit, when, dreadful to relate, the torrent it supposed to have entered a fissure above, which detached a large portion of chalk, and they were in an instant buried in the mass: On digging out the bodies the vital spark was ex tinct in 'three of them, viz. :—Gomery, Harwood, and Tate, and the other apparently hastening very fast to dissolution, but who, contrary to expectation, rallied, and is still alive, with fractures of the leg and thigh, and considerable internal injury. SMALL-PDX. AND VACCINATION. --During the last month the casual small-pox has been very gentle, amount ing in all the parishes to not more in the aggregate than 37 cases, and-23 at the Hospital at Pancras, of whom only 5 died. _Vaccination has its effect in every month of its progress, and its beneficial effects are felt in every part of the town hen the warmth of the season, might, in the confined parts of the city, and suburbs have rendered the casual small-pox very genera former l ; 247 were vaccinated at t he Hospital, and 316 in the month. The co-operation of these measures with those of the several other National Boards, has never been so much felt as . at this time, when the experience of two-and-twenty yews has a mply diffused the blessing and the security of the discovery.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT VESSEL. [From the Kentish Gazette, July 30. j 'e mentioned in our last the discovery of an ancient vessel in the old channel of the Rother, with such particulars as had then come to our knowledge : subsequent information, together with • personal observation, have since enabled us to state the facts re garding it with more accuracy. The spot where it was disco vered is in a field, the property of J. it Pomfret, Esq. of Ten - terden, near Maytham Wharf, on the left bank of a branch of the Rother, (as now denominated,) a short distance from its con fluence with that river, at the west end of the Isle of Oxney, and distant about two miles from Rolvenden and Newenden, the site of the ancient Roman city of Anderida. It is now six years since, when the water of the stream being very low, that the vessel was first accidentally observed in the side of the bank, and some planks drawn up and used for paling, &c. it being then conceived to have been part of an old tank used for sheep washing. Within the last fortnight, other wood being wanted for a similar purpose, the shape and nature of it became more apyarent, and Mr. Pomfret, at the request of his looker (Mr. . Elphee), who first made the discovery, granted permission to him, with the sanction of the Commissioners of Sewers, to break up the bank, dam up the water above, and use whatever means might be necessary to get at the vessel. The work was accordingly commenced, and after a week's labour through a bed of sea sand ten feet deep, the surface of the deck was cleared, and the whole upper part of the vessel, shewing its make and shape, rendered visible, w hen it was found to m e asure sixty-six feet seven inches' from stem to stern, and twenty-five feet across the midships ; its make is that of a barge, with a round stern, and its whole form similar to the present Dutch galliot, . the aperture for the mast being nearly in the centre, before the main beam. The timber of which it is constructed is oak, perfectly sound, and render ed nearly as hard as iron ; of which metal itself, whatever has been exposed to the action of the element, is wholly corrod ed, and breaks with facility, with the exception of the eye of the hook of the rudder in the stern-post, which remains as perfect as if recently fixed there. I t s inner sheathing is oak plank two inches thick. In the sand on the right side of the vessel, and as if driven and lodged against it, a balk of hewn oak umber was found ; which has been rough squared, an d measures nearly 40 feet in length, and from 20 to 24 inches square. The hatch ways, of which there were two, one behind the mast, the other in the stern, were open, and the internal space was conse quently filled with sand and water : in clearing out which, the various articles described below were found in the sand :—An earthen jar or pot, very . thin, of a dark (nearly black) colour,. with three short feet triangularly placed ; another earthen pot, of a rather lighter colour, but with two handles. and longer feet, similarly placed ; these are very like, from their figure, the anl. cient Roman utensils. A pint pot, of earthenware, rudely fashioned, and similar in shape to those depicted by Teniers. A hollow ball of yellow metal, to which part of the blade of a sword, about an inch wide, and much corroded, is attached, a crescent and a hollow tube, each of a similar metal : these, from their perforations and apparent conjunction, formed the handle and hilt of the sword, and from their uncorroded state may be presumed to begold ; there are some dots and strokes marked on each side of the crescent, but too imperfect to be deciphered. A large steel, sufficient to embrace the hand, and a piece of flint lying beside it, black and much worn with use, but still re taining the property of emitting sparks ; two rusty locks, one with an iron ring, as if it had belonged to a chest or locker, the other with an iron handle in the wood, as if for a latch ; a brick of light red colour, measuring in length 6i inche b readth 31 inches, and in th ickness, I inch ; parts of the stays of the which is an inch mast with iron hooks a ttached to the rope, in diameter. In what appeared to have been the 'cabin and cooking-room, the following were discovered :—The glooin of the stove with ' the charred wood ashes still adhering to it •O a tile, chequered green and red, glazed ; another tile, abut seven inches square, glazed with a five pointed star in a circle ; part of another of a larger square, nearly similarly marked and glazed ;an hair-glass, about five inches in height, on the one half of which was delicately delineated the figure of a ship in full sail, which, on the glass being dried, peeled off and- was obliterated; a pair of leather soles, very round (or cow mouthed) in shape, with the upper-leathers to cover half the foot only, and fastened with thongs, the hinder part uncon nected with the front, and surrounding the heel, with a strap on each side, as if to buckl roundsin iont of the inst p; a e pa p er pen-case and ink pot, and curi mark ed, and nearly similar in shape to those itsed by school boys : a circular wooden board perforated with holes, supposed to have been used for a game ; a sounding lead, about eigh foratedat t inches long, very heav y , and of an octagon shape, per the bottom to admit the soil, the metal not in the least corroded ; with many other articles, too imperfect for description ; but as yet nothing to fix the name and country of the vessel, or the period of her wreck, for that such was the cause of her destruc tion cannot be doubted, from the mortal remains which have been brought to light, and of which we shall now speak—a hu man skull, that of a man , with several sound teeth, also a rib and hip bone, and several parts of bones of an adult; the hip bone, thigh, and several smaller bones of a child ; the skull of a dog, .which, from the roundness andlength and shape of the upper j aw, is conjectured to be t hat of a g re y hound ; the skull and horns of a goat or sheep ; the lower jaw of a boar, with its teeth and tusk. These, with the, exception of the man's skull, were found in the cabin above mentioned. Hitherto nothing of value except for curiosity, beyond the piece of t i m ber above described, has remunerated the labour ; ere the close of the pre sent week, it is expected that the sand and mud will be so far removed, as to admit of the vessel being floated and drawn up on land, when it may be more completely examined, and. its actual value better ascertained. In the meantime the'spot has been enclosed with a temporary fence, and as the expense of ex cavating must be considerable, a small demand has been made to inspect the vessel, and such articles as have been taken to the looker 's cottage for exhibition ; and it is hoped that eventually he will he more than indemnified for his labour. PORTS3IO trill, Ju IA 31.—This morning arrived the French brig Vigilant, detained and sent in by his Majesty's' ship' Iphi genia, Captain Sir R. Mends, from the coast of Africa. ;We lament to learn that the slave trade is still carried on with the greatest openness. The Vigilant had 347 slaves on' board when she was detained by the Iphigenia, the whole of whom were set free. She was sent home with a British officer and crew ; the French captain is still on board. The British Ai cer immediately went off to London. The following ships had been detained by Sir R. Mends, and their human cargoes re leased :—Conde del Villa Flora, 173 slaves ; Des tie Feuero, 10 ditto ; Esperanza Felix, 187 34 ditto ; ZeLA uman, 3 e Be Bo dtse y itto ; Vi e na, 325 ditto ;Le Vigilant, 7 ditto ; Peti, 216 ditto ; Le Vigute, 218 ditto ; Don Pedro, 110 ditto. A schooner slave ship, also detained by the Iphigenia, was cap sized on the 12th of June, when two master's mates, 16 seamen ,of the Iphigenia, and above 150 slaves, were drowned. In de taining these ships, the Iplugenia had one man killed, and two badly wounded. The Myrmidon had also Octal:x(1 some slave ships. Considerably above 2,000 slaves have been released by his Majesty's ships. ---- EXCIIANGE, AUGUST 2 • The Wheat trade, for fine samples, this morning displays a greater briskness than at the fanner part of the weck, and Monday's prices were readily obtained ; the present showery weather, operating on the minds of the millers, caused the briskness this morning. Barley, Beans, and Peas, as on Mon day, and but little doing. SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUG. 2. Although there was a good supply at market this morning , a higher price was asked for all descriptions of Cattle ;` Shecp of good quality are full 2s. per head higher than last market day, owing to their being a demand for all kind of small meat ; there were but few Oxen, but Lambs were plentiful. • 4s Od Beef 2 s 6 d t o 3s 4do( Veal is NI to Os Od to s Od M ut t on 2s Od to 2s 8 l Por k Lamb 3s. . to 4s.
