OF HIS MAJESTY AT BRIGHTON. BRIGHTON, OCT. 27.—His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Lord Steward of the Household, arrived last night at 20 minutes after seven o'clock, and with grateful satisfaction we add, in good health. His Majesty was received by an extend ed line of military, from the north gate of the Palace along the London road, in the following order, viz. :—Two troops , of Life Guards, four companies of the 3d Fuzileers, and again two troops of Life Guards. The national anthem announced his Majesty's approach, the colours of the corps were lower ed, and• the trumpets, bugles, and drums sent forth their sound, which echo repeated in all parts of the neighbourhood. The Duke of Cambridge received his, Majesty, as he alighted• at the Palace vestibule—undisguiied - affection beamed in the eyes of both. The whole of our nobility seem to have paid their respects to their King this morning, by leaving their names in the Palace Hall-book. Divine Service, the Chapel not • being quite ready, was performed at the Palace, in the presence of his Majesty, Royal Duke and Household, this Morning. The Duke of Cambridge, it is said, will take leave of his Majesty on Thursday, to return to London. His Royal 'Highness will leave England for Hanover on the 10th proximo. The Princess Augusta will accompany him. On Friday a messenger left the Palace, to order relays of horses on the several roads, and make the necessary arrange- Ments, on the intended route of their Royal Highnesses for em barkation. —As soon as the arrival of his Majesty was made known at the. Theatre last night, the call - of the auditory for " God save the King" was simultandous ; which call, it is almost superfluous‘to add, was cheerfully and instanta neously obeyed. The Life Guards here are under the com mand of Colonel Lygon ; the 3d Fuzileers, of Colonel Sir Edward Blakeney : both Officers were with their corps last night. The Life Guard Officers haVe removed from the Royal York Hotel, to their allotted apartments in the Cavalry Bar racks.—The King's private band were on duty last night for several hours, in the Grand Concert-room of the Palace. His Majesty was present the whole time, and appeared in most ex cellent spirits, not the slightest symptom of fatigue being ap parent after his journey.—The King was walking on the Palace awn this afternoon, but has not otherwise been seen in public o 'day. .. 4 :0 - ~- - • lb r, ; - f'•._.

HENRY TOWNSITEND, ESQ.—This Gentleman, who was the Proprietor and Editor of The Duhl;n Correspon dent, we regret to learn, as we had the pleasure of knowing him, died last week at the house of his brother, Counsellor Townsend, in Leeson-street, Dublin. His dissolution it is stated, was the effect of a very long illness, under which he suffered for nearly three years, and which was aggra rated by several deceitful indications of returning health.— He bore the vicissitudes of his protracted trial with the forti tude and hope which never fail to sustain a sincere Christian.— No man lived more in society than he did, or perhaps ever moved in amore extended circle of it, sharing in the esteem and attachment of all descriptions. His understanding was manly,: clear, and informed ; his sentiments of friendship were sterling and pure; his heart was warm, his hand gene , rpus and his manners affectionate. To those qualities un friended or unmerited misfortune never appealed without finding always an ardent, and often an effective advocate ; and to those, perhaps, he was himself indebted, for the friendship and regard of some among the first and best in the country.— That the friends and companions of so honest a spirit should regret him is to be expected—that his relatives feel the deepest affliction for the loss of him, is but the natural tribute to which his admirable qualities were entitled.—( Cork M. C'hroniele.) On Tuesday morning last a meeting was held in the . Chapel, Hanover-square, Newcaitle, of Protestant and Dissenting Ministers the three denominations, for the pur. pose of establishing a fund, which should have for its object the relief and support of its members, in case that through age or incurable sickness they should any of them become unable to discharge the duties of their important office. It has long excited the surprise of reflecting persons, that for such cases no adequate provision has hitherto been made. It is now about eleven years since a paper was published on the subject by the Committee of the Northern Widows Fund Association ; which, it is believed, contributed to the in stitution of a Society in London, for granting relief \in such cases to a certain • extent. But that institution, ex cellent as it is, partakes of the nature of a charitable fund ; and it is more agreeable to' an independent mind to have recourse to a fund on which it may have a claim of Fight, by contributing a stated sum yearly, to receive, in case of need, a correspondent annuity. This is the basis pf the scheme proposed,. without declining the bene volent aid of the laity, especially in the infancy of the under taking. The rules which had been drawn up at a former meet ing were revised and greatly improved ; the .Reverend Messrs. M'lndoe, Turner, Pengilly, and Smith, were appointed a Com mittee to print and circulate them ; and 16 Ministers gave in their names as Members, besides several who signified their approbation by lefter.—(Durham County Advertiser.) On Thursday last, an industrious milkman, named Thomas Ball, residing in Union-street, Southwark, was tried at the Surrey Sessions , for an assault on his wife ; found guilty, sentenced to pay 6d. and to enter into his own recog nuances to keep the peace for twelve calendar months. Since that period he has been missing from home. A warrant was applied for by the parish-officers of St. Saviour's, for his appre hension, for deserting his wife and family. Yesterday morning at six o'clock, the body of the unfortunate man was found in a cow-shed belonging to Mr. Roopel.at Brixton-hill, suspended by the neck with a silk handkerchief, from the beam of the hay rack. His body was immediately . cut down, but life was ex tinct. - There were two deep incisions across each other on one of the aims, supposed to have been inflicted by the deCeased himself. The body was removed. to a public-house in the neigh bourhood, for a Coroner's Inquest. POETRY. ) From the Rev. G..CROLY'S Illustrations of Gems from the Antique. In the grave his head was laid All its atoms in the sun For a thousand years haveirlay'd, Through a thousand shapes have gone ; Quick with life, or cold with death, Still but withering dust and breath ! It has blossom'd in the flower— It has floated in the wave— It has lit the star-light hour It has whisper'd through the cave ! Has the spirit perish'd all ? • ~ This was but its mouldering wall ! Fame, _the prize of life, was won ; F'INDER'S mighty task was done; Then on the air his wing was cast ! Like a flame, the soul has past, While the ashes rest below ; Like a trumpet's sudden blast, Gone I .—what strength shall check it now ? When the lightning wears a chain, Pindar's soul shall stoop again ! Yet the world has need of thee, Man of Immortality ! Greece—the name is lost in tease,—. Land of laurels, lyres, and spears ! Visions on that spot have birth, Brighter than are born of earth : In that soil of glorious strife, Not an atom but had life, Glow'd and triumph'd, fought, and died, As the, patriot battle's tide, Flood of arrow, lance, and sword, O'er the whelm'd invader roir'd. • Hear us ! from thy golden Sphere ! Shall the eternal sepulchre Hide the spirit of the land ? Shall no great, redeeming hand— (Oh, for such as dyed her seas In thy day, Miltiades !) Issuing from her peasant ranks, Smite the turban'd robber horde. Till the chain no longer clanks, — Till the Turkish battle, gored, . Over Helle's purple banks In returnless flight is pour'd ; Till the phalanx, laurel-browed, Like a rolling thunder-cloud, Like a conflagration sweeping, Of its plague-spot clears the soil And no more the voice of weeping, Woman's•shame, or manhood's spoil, Grieves the listening midnight sky ? Pindar ! shall her glory die ! Shall, like thine, no godlike strain 'reach her to be great again ? Hear us, from thy starry-throne _Hear !--by those in Marathon! ' l .* We lately inserted some Lines, written under the Head of SAPPHO, by Mr. CROLY. We admire the plan of these ILLtysTnaT lola of Antique Gems, and conceive that they could not be executed with more spirit, trste and learning than by this Gentleman, who justly ranks among the best of living Poets. CORONEas , A Coroners' Inquest was held last night before Mr. SHELTON, Coroner, at St. Thomas's Hospital; on the body of Elizabeth Lock, aged 37.—J. Arthur stated, that he was keeper of the lunatics in Lambeth 'Workhouse, where the deceased was a lunatic pauper, he fetched her from her resi dence, No. 1, South-street, Kennington. cross, on the 4th of July last. On the sth instant he was alarmed by the cries of murder, at three in the morning, which proceeded from a field, outside the walls of the workhouse. He went to a window and saw the deceased ; he instantly went to her and asked what was the matter ? She answered, that she had jumped from the wall, and broke her leg. On examination he found that she had got out of her apartment, where there were about 24 other lunatic females, and had ascended the wall by some means, which is above .nine feet high, and jumped off; he called the master of the workhouse, who ordered a cart, and she was taken instantly to the Hospital. Henry Sterry, dresser to Mr. Green, said he saw the deceased on the morning of the sth inst. about half-past six o'clock, when brought .to the Hospital; she had a compound fracture of the leg. The usual remedies were applied, but she lingered till Saturday last, when she ex pired. Verdict—That the deceased met her death by jumping from a wall in a state of derangement. Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the Triturrphant Chariot, Gros venor-place, on the body of Jane Tborville, a window, 45 years of age, who cut her throat on the 17th of September, at her lodgings, the Portman Arms, Portman-street, whence she was taken to the Hospital, and died on the 26th inst.. Verdict 1 nsanity. Another Inquest was held at. the Barley Mow, in Mount street, Grosvenor-square, before the same Coroner, on the body of Wm. Holland, 60 years of age, formerly a respectable mas ter plumber and painter, whose body was found in the basin in Hyde Park on Sunday morning; his great coat was tied in a double knot above his knees; he had frequently said he in tended to drown himself, but Mr. HIGGS said there was no evidence to shew that the deceased threw himself into the water, and the Jury therefore returned a verdict--" Found drowned without any marks of violence about the body. In one of the most beautiful churches of the East Riding, are three minstrels, projecting from, one of its pillars, dressed in the ancient costume of their time, blue sur touts anti red stockings ; the late Mayor (whose seat is near them) either 'not being so much ;skilled in minstrelsy. as Sir . Walter Scott, or thinking their dress too gaudy for the sa cred edifice, or from some other cause, ordered a painter to daub them over, the colour of the pillar. The Church wardens being informed of. ' the circumstance applied to the Vicar, but he had given no order on the subject ; one of the Churchwardens, therefore, declared lie would desnowstrate with his Worship, and it appears he did prove, to a demonstration, that the Mayor Was Wrong, for he ordered the painter to re-dress them in blue and red, as before, and they now stand glittering in the full splendour of their ancient finery—( Leeds Inde pendent.) MARCH OF EVENTS.—In the complicated and marvellous machinery of circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to decide what would have happened, as to some events, if the slightest dis turbance had taken place in the march of those that preceded them. If a private country gentle man in Cheshire, about 1730, had not been over turned in his carriage, it is extremely probable that America, instead of being a fre e re public at this moment, would , have continued a dependent colony of England. This Cheshire gentleman happened to be Augustus Washington, Esq., who was thus accidently thrown in to the company of a lady, who afterwards beca m e his wife, who emigrated with him to America, and in the year 1732; at Virginia, became the envied mother of George Washington the great.

Amidst the many improvements with which our country abounds, the very inconvenient mode of crossing the river Leven, between the village of that name and Inver leven, has been matter of long and just complaint. With the view of rendering the communication safe, and at all times regular, a few individuals sometime ago took measure to bring the matter into public notice, and proposed the erec tion of a bridge. The plan met with general approbation, and the concurrence of the proprietors on both sides of the river being obtained, an adequate sum for the erection, raised by subscription, and other preparatory arrangements, being com pleted, the foundation stone of the first abutment was laid on the same day on which his Majesty arrived in the Forth, and the other on the same day as that of the Na tional Monument of Scotland. A chain bridge, 120 feet span was finished a few days ago, which combines strength with neat ness, and does great credit to the undertaker, Mr. Dunbar of Largo. In consequence of the completion of this erection, in which ornament and utility meet, the committee of manage ment, on Tuesday the Bth instant, dined together with a number of respectable friends, in Annan's Inverleven,— Mr. A. Walker, Pr es es of the Committee, in the Chair, and Mr. John Black, croupier. The utmost cordiality and good humour pervaded the whole. A number of appropriate toasts were drank, excellent songs were sung, and such a degree of conviviality prevailed, as shewed the satisfaction felt by all pre sent.—( Glasgow Courier.) 'On Sunday evening, while the respective families were at chapel, two houses in Gornmo's-row, Ham mersmith, were entered and robbed of property to a great amount. Thd houses arc in the public road between Hammer smith and Acton, andwhich makes the attempt at robbery more audacious, and more especially as it was a clear moonlight night. One house belongs to Mr. Marchmont, who has retired from businesss ; the other to Mrs. llandsley, who also lives on h w e h r e m: car ns r . ie llth o o fr ug s h om th e ere lin w e e n r , e no persons an:mthone money, with a w d i j th oinin houses, the owners of which are well circumstanced, the two houses in question were only robbed. - They were entered by the front doors • the locks having been picked. The robbers proceeded deliberately, and ransacked every part of the house. six teen sovereigns , from Mr. Marchmont's, and plate and other articles, from Mrs. Handsley's. On departing they Pulled the doors after them, and the families found them fastened merely by the spring-latchel on their return from Chapel. Nothing has transpired to lead to a dis. tinct suspicion of the robbers, though many reasons strengthen the belief that they are no strangers to the habits and movements of the families. In the early part of the evening two men were observed lurking about the doors, but at the time they attracted no particular attention. The thieves escaped with their booty. It is to'be hoped that these daring-robberies, and the publicity given to them, will operate as an effective caution to families not to leave their houses, especially on Sunday evenings, during the time of chapel ser vice, without somebody to take care of them. That is the time, particularly in the environs of London house-robbers are par ticularly, and but too often successfully, active. These rob beries have created so much bustle in Hammersmith that the parish authorities are seriously on - the alert.

MANSION-Houn. —Alderman ATKINS summoned the driver of the cart No. 102,819, for having obstructed the car—. riage-way in Thames-street, a few days ago. • • . The Alderman stated, that as he and his son were driying in a chaise through Thames-strebt,' the defendant's cart, lay in the way opposite to a public house where carmen were in the habit of stopping to drink. The Alderman's servant-called out to him very civilly to draw aside; but he, treated the request, with contemptuous silence. The Alderman himself was just at unsuccessful in his application to this very independent charad, ter, who Would not condescend to say one word or to move one step. Mr. John Atkins, jun., then took down the number of the cart, and the driver was summoned to answer for the ob struction. The Alderman added that the defendant had been engaged neitherin loading nor in unloading, and that the fra ternity were much in the habit of stopping up the way when disposed to recreate themselves with beer or gin, without caring a farthing about the consequences to the public. The misfor tune of an obstruction in Thames-street was, that a delay of a full hour was likely to be the result of such conduct upon the part of unaccommodating fellows employed in this way. The driver attended the Justice-room. He was, or: affected' to be, hard of hearing. He denied that he knew any thing of the matter, and even that he was at the place specified at the time. His master said the man was very civil and careful, but that he had the infirmity of deafness, and might have been uncon scions of the wish of the Alderman to pass him. Alderman Atkins said he had taken particular care that the request should be heard, and if the infirmity of not hearing ex isted, that of not seeing certainly did not, for the carman saw his son taking down the number of the cart. The Loan Mayon, said the case was completely proved, and observed that the inconveniences arising from the practice described were indeed very great. He then, at the request of Alderman Atkins, inflicted the lowest penalty, but he declared that he should in future fine with severity.to keep down the nuisance. UNION-HALL.--SHOPLIFTING.—Yesterday two little girls, sisters, very neatly dressed, one nine and the other' seven years of age, were put to the bar, charged by Mr. Cornall, a linen draper of High-street, Newington, with having stolen a piece of printed calico from the counter of his shop. Mr. Cornall stated, the children came to his shop'yesterday morning, and whilst he was engaged in attending to some cus tomers at the farther end of the shop, he happened to cast his eyes where the prisoners were, and observed the eldest roll up a large piece of printed calico, and stuff it into a basket which her little sister carried. The witness immediately advanced to her and asked if she had taken any thing from .otftlie counter, but she positively asserted that she had not ; .however, on searching her basket, the calico was found, together with a large piece of muslin which Mr. Cornall identified as belonging to him, and to have been taken in the above way. Mr. ALLEN questioned the eldest girl about the robbery, but she positively denied having any knowledge as to how os in what manner the calico and muslin had got into her basket, frequently appealing to her little sister as to the trtith of what she declare]. She said she- lived in Lion-street, Newington. When asked if she had ever been charged with any offence, " Oh yes, Sir, sometime back I was accused of stealing a watch from a house, but I did not do it." The Magistrate observed, that the father shoUld be made ac quainted.with the circumstances, and in the mean time gave the gaoler instructions that the two little delinquents should be taken care of. A short time afterwards, an elderly woman named Susan Thomas, was brought in, charged with having stolen a quan tity of plaid stuff from the shop-door of Mr. Bedford, a linen draper in •Newington-causeway. The prisoner had been observed to slip the plaid from aboard placed at the door of the complainant's shop, and walk off' hastily towards the Elephant and Castle.' She was pursued, awl the property found at her feet, which, she had dropped from under her clothes upon seeing no chance of escape. She was fully committed.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Yesterday J. Wellington was charged with having been concerned in a not in Arabella-pas sage, Pimlico, winch it seems was carried to such a - height, that the interference of the military was deemed necessary to the protection of watchmen, who had been most outrageously as sailed.

A violent hurricane was experienced in this neighbourhood (Oxford) on Sunday last (0ct.20). It had rained most of the morning, and about 19. the wind, which blew from the S.W. suddenly in creased to a violent degree, and was accompanied by thunder, lightning, and hail. In the vicinity of Cowley, llorsepath, and the villageg, adjacent, several houses were unroofed, barns blown down, and branches of trees strewed over the fields. —As Mr. Cox, of Dorchester, was coming to Oxford market, his gig• was completely blown over ; luckily, however, the horse was very quiet, and Mr. Cox received no injury. The horses of the Aurora post coach were so frightened by the lightning near Stokenchurch that they turned completely round, and overturned the coach ; we are, however, happy to say that none of the passengers sustained any material injury. The storm appeared to be circumscribed, not extend ing to any great width, but it carried all before it within its reach.---(arfird Gezette.)
