At one o'clock the string of carriages extended from the head of Frederick-street to the gate of the Palace, a dis tance of somewhat more than an English mile. It is computed that not I ess than 2,000 Noblemen and Gentlemen had the honour of kissing hands: —The doors of the Presence Chamber were thrown open about half-past one o'clock, and the cere mony concluded about - half-past four. A great many Ad dresses from the different public bodies were presented on the occasion. His MAJESTY seemed in good health and spirits, and without the least appearance - of fatigue at the end - of the proceedings.—The AddresSes to be received by his Majesty on the Throne, on Monday next, are those from the Church of Scotland and the Universities, and the Address from the Mem bers of the Episcopal Church will be received in the Closet. tilnothcr Letter, same date.] His Majesty appeared at the levee in a full Highland uniform, of what is called the Stuart tartan. It is a dress which requires a tall and robust figure. to produce advantageous display, and the general opinion at the levee was, that this martial and pictur esque dress was never worn to more advantage : he wore the Highland broad. sword, pistols, and philebeg, and had quite a martial air. About 1,200 persons were presented, the greater part military personages, and many in the High land costume. The personages who had the privilege of entre through the closet, were the Dukes of Dorset, Mon trose, Argyll, and Athol ; the Marquisses of Winchester, Conyngham, and Graham ; the-Earls of Fife, Lauderdale, Morton, Moray, Kinnoul, Errol, Breadalbane, Kellie, &c. &c. &c.; Lords Gwydyr, Glenorchy, Melville, &c. &c. ; Mr. Peel, the Judges of the Court of Session, the Law Officers of the Crown, and the Heads of the Magistracy. .A great num ber of the Gentlemen at the Bar and Writers to the Signet were also presented ; among them was Mr. James Stuart of Dunearn. The other presentations were the principal Scottish gentry and military officers. His Majesty gave to all a most gracious reception, and expres se d hi mse lf highly gratified at the presence of so large a body of his Scottish nobles . and people. LONDON FASHIONABLES.

The plain of Moulsey-hurst, the turf of slaugh ter, where finishing heroes of the fist have so often disputed the right of championship, was again the seat of attraction yester day, in the pitched battle for 50 sovereigns, between Cabbage, from Bristol, the best of the light weights in the West, and Parish, the waterman. Talent of all sorts was here assembled, and the aribas felt quite at home. The battle commenced be. fore one o'clock, and was soon decided by a stunning blow at the start. Belcher and Harmer seconded Cabbage, and Tom Owen and Josh. Hudson picked Parish up. Betting was 6to 4 on Parish, the heaviest man. THE BATTLE. Round I. Cabbage hit short, and was well parried, but he made another _rush, and placed a right-handed blow upon his adversary's eye, rather out of distance, and which- flushed it. Parish retreated, but his man would not leave him, and he floored liini by a heavy left-handed blow upon the throat. It was one of those stultifying hits which sets an antagonht cloning. The lips quivered, the eyes - had a convulsive roll, and it was seemingly all up.-3. to lon Cabbage. . 2. Parish made play by bolting in, when he hit away at ran dom, and was hit again, and thrown. 3. it good.fighting round, and Parish made some fine parries, and seemed to be recovering. Ile made a good stand in a rally, and was then thrown. 4. Cabbage went.to his work with much gaiety, but he was well parried, .and received a sezions injury on the arm by the parry from Parish's elbow. Parish was again thrown. 6. In this round Parish was hit to sleep with the right hand, and then thrown with great dexterity. In the 6th and 7th he only stood up to be slaughtered, and a very proper interference took place to avoid any chance of slaughter. It-lasted six minutes only. • - Parish never recovered the stunning hit in 'the first round, and his head was kept in a dream in the subsequent ones. Cab bage, although a blinker, with one eye quite floored, is a heavy hitter, and proved himself altogether too much of a man for his adversary. A second and very gallant' fight of an -hour took place be. tween a Hampton man (John Holt) and the Pea-soup Garde:. net.. The Hampton man won it, w ith some good receipts. Pea-soup was over-weighted, but he fought with much gaiety, and was the least punished of the two. • Mas. SARAH..BOND.—About twelve months since, we announced "the death of this eccentric woman, at her residence, Camb r id ge -h eat h, l eav i ng great wealth, dd' was to go -to -.King George the Fourth, if no relative could be found to claim it. Since her death, vestry and parish clerks, beadles, sextons, country schoolmasters, and all persons hold ing_ any official situations about cathedrals, churches, of . chapels, have been employ e d i n searc hi ng out her pedigree; but all to no effect: The publicity th e circumstance obtained through the medium of the newspapers has caused some ludi crous scenes in the neighbourhood of her late residence, where travellers have arrived from all parts - of the country to clairn relationship. - Last week a man and his son, a youth about 16, arrived from Sunderland,. from whence they had walked; he said his name was Bond; he was sure she was his sister, and • he would not quit London without the money ; how ever, upon an investigat-m, he could produce no other authority than being of the same name; •he Was. therefore compelled to retrace his steps almost pennyless. The week previous, a decently dressed- elderly maiden female made her appear ance ; she had , just ' arrived outside the sta,ge from the en virons of' Carmarthen; her s to r y was , that about fifty years ago her sister left her, and had proceeded to London to seek. her. fortune; • they had never corresponded, but, 'from the name and description of the deceased, she had no doubt but she was her sister, and that' the money belonged to her ; it had. cost her -nearly all the cash she could raise to come from Wales,' fully satisfied .with being amply repaid for her trouble. She met with the same fate as the preceding.applicant— The next claim ant was a Jack-tar, who had just returned from the West Indies, where he had been moored, he. said, 35 years • he left two sisters behind him named B on d ; one was remarkable for the eccentricity of her manners, particularly her love for money ; and he declared he had been an eye-witness to her frequently making a meal off cat's -meat; .this bethought quite sufficient proof of his relationship,rand insisted upon entering a criveat against the claim of King George the Fourth ; but being con-. vinced that his Majesty at present appeared to be the legal claimant, he swore he would ”.go.and see his Royal Master, and ax him if he had any objection to dividing the money between them !" It is impossible to enumerate .the numbe r o f per sons that have p u t in,their claims from all quarters of, the world, but the King's P roc t or stan d s . fi rst i n t h e P rerogat i ve Court, and nothing has yet transpired to affect his right in behalf of his Majesty. The hut where she died has been shut .up until last week, when a bill was placed in the windows, that it was to be let ; however, so anxious were some persons to get posses sion, that the.notice was taken down in 24 hours, no.doubt un der Zile impression that some .hoards were yet undiscovered ! Lord KENNEDY has gained his bet (we believe for 1500g5.) that he would ride 150 miles, walk ten miles, shoot forty brace of-grouse, and walk ten miles back, all in twenty-four hours; which he performed in tw en ty- one h ours , an d s hot forty-ni ne brace, being' ine brace more than his number, and in three hours less time.—( Newcastle Chronicle.) ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • CARNARVON, Ava 14. • TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF . LEWIS OWEN, For a desperate attempt to commit Robbery and Murder, on the Ifolhead Road, North Wales. [FROM THE CHESTER. COURANT, AUG. 20.] The trial of this culprit excited a strong degree of interest in the principality ; an attempt of the kind was without prece dent, and the county of Carnarvon had witnessed no execution for the space of more than 20 years. Under such circum stances, the hall. of the court was crowded at an early hour, and it was with much difficulty the Judges could preserve or der, during the necessary arrangements for the commencement of the trial. At nine o'clock precisely the Court sat, and after the Jury had been sworn, none of whom were challenged by the prisoner, the Attorney-General addressed them, in a cir cumstantial detail of the prominent features of the case, ob serving, that " the case itself, happily for the county, was with out example ; and although it was marked by a degree of atro city, equal, if not exceeding any thing cf the kind which his professional practice had furnished, yet it was a consolation to reflect, that the activity and vigilance which had been used in arresting the prisoner, together with the probability of his fate, would leave an impression sufficiently deep and memorable, to prevent any repetition of theerime.' Thomas Sturdy, the first Witness, deposed, that he was a supervisor of excise, residing at Conway ; that on the 24th of April last, he was travelling On horseback towards Bangor, from Capel Cerrig; that about two miles beyond the second turnpike he was met by the prisbner, at the hour of half-past three o'clock in the day, and coming on the near side of his horse, lie laid hold of the bridle, presenting at the same time a pistol to his breast, and demanding his money, with a threat he would blow his brains out if he refused ; that upon this he dismounted, and not complying immediately with the demand, the robber fired and shot him in the arm; that he then offered him 3s. 6d., all the silver he had about him, which the robber refused, declaring that " he must have all or none," and repeating, in violent terms, his threat of immediate death, if he refused. Mr. sturdy still contended against the demand, when the robber tired his second pistol, the ball from which passed through his hat and coat. On this Mr. Sturdy resolved to act on the of fensive, and attempted to knock down the robber, but the lat ter closing on him got him down, and finding him exhausted, left him on the ground, and instantly mounted his horse, with which, and a pair of saddle-bags, he rode away, taking the road towards Denbigh, after passing the two next turnpikes, at one of which lie threatened to shoot the keeper, if lie did not instantly let him pass. The next witness was William Prichard, who deposed that lie was but a short distance from the foregoing scene when it passed; that after the first shot was fired, the robber turned towards him, after Mr. Sturdy had called to him for assistance, but not liking the danger of standing before a pistol, he had run away, about jive roods, as he called it, (measuring about 40 yards) and after he had got to a safe distance, he saw the pistol fired, and the robber riding off with Mr. Sturdy's horse. 'William Thomas deposed to the robber's passing the turn ! pike -gate, mounted on Mr. Sturdy's horse; that he followed the robber to Denbigh, with singular speed and perseverance, and having obtained assistance, arrested him at the Swan Inn, with Mr. Sturdy's horse. Edward Williams deposed to assisting Wm. Thomas in the arrest, and taking the 'pistols from the robber, which he pro duced, and they appeared to have been recharged with powder and ball. Alderman Hughes, of Denbigh, deposed to the taking the examinations of Wm. Thomas, and the prisoner confessing that the whole was true, admitting his guilt. Mr. Titley, of Llanrwst, a surgeon, deposed to extracting the ball from Mr. Sturdy's arm, which lie produced. This evidence constituted the case, upon which the CH IEF JUSTICE charged the Jury i n a p erspi cuous and able exposi tion of facts ; observing, that a clear and consistent chain of evidence had been established against the prisoner, which left no doubt of his guilt ; b u t if th e y' could see the casedifferently, they would give him the benefit of such doubt. The Jury retired and in six minutes returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner, who had no professional assistance. He was sentenced to be executed on the 4th of September next, and appeared to manifest extreme indifference to his dreadfd situation. NFAMOUS CRUELTY.-(BULL BAIT [FROM THE CHESTER COURANT, AUG. 20.] The indignity -we feel at the infamous trans action we are about to relate, almost renders us incapable of recording the f a cts, with th e coo l ness of impartial Journalists. The beginning of last week was the time of celebrating Eccleston and Handbridge wakes ; and it was some time before ascer tained, that a number of unprincipled ruffians of the latter place, intended to amuse themselves with that elegant and intellec tual treat—a Bull Beat. They were well aware, that by a clause in our local act, which p ro hibi ts, these refined sports in the city ; they would be subjected to a visitation of the law, if they attempted their exploit within the jurisdiction of the City Magistrates. These gentry, however, not regarding the morality of the law; though fearing its penalty, eon trivecl. to take their victim, a fine-bred b u ll, wi th t h e no bl e animals which a re considered its natural enemy, to the •Dee-side, near sky-lane, where, being within low water mark, they expected to indulge their ferocity with impu nity. For three successive days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the inhuman sport was continued, until the bull, swollen, lacerated and mangled, presented the most pi tiable and frightful spectacle. On one occasion, the poor animnl, goaded to desperation, tore up the stake, and plunged into the Dee, where the dogs followed him, and where they renewed their desperate attack, the bull not being able in the, water to act either offensively or in self defence. This was doubtlesn fine sport' for • the surrounding •saYages, some of whom at length, fearful that the bull might be torn to death or drowned in the river, and that the far ther amusement might be interrupted, or probably appre henSive that the value of the animal might be lost to tnem, plunged into the water, and by the rope by which he was held;* dragged him to the shore —to be Again, torn and worried ! This is no fabulous description, drawn out to excite hatred against a certain race of human beings ;—it is a fact—a transaction not occurring at an Hottentot , or an Indian village—not in the, precincts of Juggernaut, but in a Christian, and the most christianized country in the world— and in a city which is distinguished as the residence of po liteness, piety, and - humanity ! The honour, we believe, almost exclusively belongs to th e men of Handbridge ; and we think few besides will be found willing to claim a share of it. In justice, however, •to the Magistrates of the city, we must add, that no blime whatever attaches to them. On the contrary, they exercised the utmost of their authority to prevent the disgraceful scene. His 'Worship the Mayor sent the peace-officers with a special message from himself to expostulate and forbid the bull bait ; but they treated his representations with the utmost contempt, putting him and his officers to deflince. Out of respect to the liberties of our country; we do not wish 'to see the law stretched beyond its natural bounds—but on the present occasion we can not but wish that his worship had acted with " a vigOur beyond the law." Two of the miscreants; however , have been caught in their.own net.—On Saturday last, IlughJObtBoll and Wil liam .Williams were. brought before the Sitting Magistrates at the Exchange, and an information having been sworn against them for unmercifully abuSing the animal ,above referred to with. thick staves, they were both convicted in the full penalty of '6l. each, under the Act lately passed for preventing cruelty to animals ; and not being able to pay ..the money, were committed to gaol for the space of 3 months. Never were we better pleased with a conviction, or with the conduct of Magistrates for inflicting the utmost severity of a penal act of Parliament. We heard that it was the intention of some, of our. Boughton neighbours to have b a it e d a b u ll at their wakes this week, but if the brutal conduct at Handbridge does not make th e m as h ame d o f t h e i r purpose; perhaps the punishment. of Joinson and Williams will have some effect in turning them from their purpOse. CAMBERWELL FAIR Commence:, on Monday, and was visited during the early part of. the day-by many juvenile branches of families residing in that genteel neighbourhood. The Magistrates generally pre serve order at this scene of amusement. On this occasion they po4ted up the provisions of an Act passed in the reign of his preseht Majesty, for the better regulation of Fairs, and required all exhibitions, as well as public houses,' to be shut at eleven at night. The arrangement of booths' and stalls for the sale of toys, was remarkably neat. They had a display of French goods which excelled in,neatness those of home mann faCtUre. We allude to ladies' fans, reticules, Bijonterie and articles for the toilette. One of the most promi nen t ex hibitions was the Bonassus, who,had so long amused the passengers in the Strand with the soft"tones of his voice. There was in fact nothing worthy the name of 'novelty in the Fair. The whole camp of showmen was struck last night, and, according to cus- j tom, they marched off f or P ec kh am F a i r. w hi c h b egan this day. I rtgLANDo, . „ TRALEE, AuG.l4.-111uaina. James Casey and Michael Hennessey were tried and found guilty of the murder of Elizabeth Kelly, on the Bth of July last. They were exe cuted on Friday last. It appears, that on the trial the prisoner Casey had requested to speak with Mr. Raymond, one of the witnesses against him, and that it was his (Casey's) intention, bad Mr. Raymond complied with the request, to have stabbed him with a penknife. CORK, AUG. 16. Informations have been lodged before the Rev. Mr. Herbert, a Justice of the Peace for this County, of a very dreadful outrage committed in his parish, Mourne Abbey, which lies in the neighbourhood of Mallow. On the night of Saturday last, about twenty men, well armed, came into the parish, went to the houses of several farmers resident in it, and compelled them to take an oath against paying tithes, &c. Mr. Herbert had let to his parishioners leases of his tithes, for five years, on the terms proposed by themselves, and the ruffians inquired of the farmers if they had, in any instance, taken such leases ; which in general they denied having done, but were afterwards intimidated into a confession of having committed this crime against the edicts of the new legislators ; upon which all who had been convicted of dissimu lation in this case, were seized, dragged out - of their houses, stripped and flogged upon their naked backs with a whip, for violating, as they declared, the orders of " General R,ock." To the above outrages we are sorry to have to add, that a notice was on last Monday night post ed on the Oven church, threatening with destruc tion those who should pay any tithes. A large body, supposed to be White Boys, passed Grange-house, at a very late hour on the same night ; this no tice was taken down the next morning by the Rev. Mr. O'Riordan, the Parish Priest. Mr. Pratt, the Rector of the Parish, is particularly moderate in his tithe charges, and indulgent in receiving payment. THE ARMY. The following movements of the Guards took place yes terday : Second Battalion of the First Guards, from the King's Mews to the Tower. First Battalion of the Second Guards, from Knightsbridge to the King's Mews. First Battalion . of the Third Guards, from the Tower to 'estminster quarters. Major-General Sir Denis Pack inspected the 2d Battalion of the 3d Guards on Friday afternoon, Parade, on the in front of the Government House, Ply mout h, and was highly pleased with their fine soldierly appearance, and with the precision with which they performed the various manoeuvres.

On Monday some considerable sales were made in Wheat, but on exceeding low terms, and the sales made this day were at the same price as on last Monday ;_ a large quantity still re mains on hand. There being little of fine quality of Bailey at market this morning, it obtains 'last Monday's prices. In all other articles there is scarcely any altehitioh in the prices. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Stir THWARK, Aua. 19.—We haVe trot any trade for Hops. The Duty is at 145,0001. MAIDSTONE, Au G. 19.—There has been a most material improvement in the Hops during the last week; so imich so, that many of the grounds which were thought a fortnight since to be past all recovery, now appear as if they would yield an ave rage crop. The weather has certainly . been more propitious for them than could at allhave been anticipated, and should it con tinue so a few days longer, it is thought by many that the• Duty will pay nearly as much as last year. This we think at present somewhat doubtful, as in most grounds the Hops are very uneven, some of them being nearly ripe enough to pick, while Others are scarcely out in bur; this we conceive will operate much► against the duty ; added to which there is in many places a great want of bine. In some grounds the flea has beeh very destructive, and the mold and red rust have also partially trade their appearance.—The Hop Dinner at the Bull Inn or Tues. day last was well attended.. A sample of New hops was pro duced, grown by Mr. W. P. Shirley, of East Sutton; the Pocket from whence it was drawn was conveyed to the Borough on the following day, and sold at 51. ss. per cwt. We believe a circumstance of this sort has never before occurred . so'aily in the year. The greater part of the bets at the dinnei were is favour of 120,0001. - . . KILLED.—On the mornin g o f Thufsay'§e'nnight the inhabitants of Cresswell were surprised by the sight of.a very large whale, proceeding at a very rapid rate, close in shore, to the southward. It was aeon a f ter seen 'suddenly to stop in its course, and appear quite weak and bewildered, having, tis is supposed, disabled itself by striking on some of the projecting points of rock. It was instantly pursued by parties of fishermen, and of the workmen and others employed at Cresswell, by A. J. Creswell Baker, Esq. and they . finally succeeded in driving it on shore near Linmouth, wnen it was song after pierced and killed by a harpoon, which had been hastily made by one of the blacksmiths employ e d i n t h e b u ildi n g o f the new hr.ll, at Creswell. On examination it proved to be a very large whale of the spermaceti kind, called by naturalists the Maero cephalus, or blunt-headed cachelot. The following are. the dimensions of it , Length, from the tip of the nose to the end of the upper ft. in. fork of the tail - - - 61, 0 Girth in the thickest part - - - - g 7 l; Ditto in smallest part near the tail - - ^7 3 Height of the nose,tor blunt part of the head - 10 9. Length of the under jaw - - - 13 6 Distance between the eyes, which are very small - 20 6 Width between the ends of the forks of the tail - 14 6 The upper jaw projects five feet beyond the under one ; in the latter there are two rows of ivory teeth, twenty-three in each row in the upper jaw there are no teeth, but it is furnish - ed with unvities to receive the teeth of the under j aw . O n the top of the nose, near the tip, there is one air-hole. It has onlx.two fins, one on each side, which are placed thiee feet behind the eyes, but rather lower : the eyes are distant 21 feet from the nose. Since it was killed, great crowds have been daily drawn to the spot, to view and examine its hi - marl - Ise body. On Sunday the number of visitors was unusually treat, having arrived from all parts, on horses, in gigs and carriages, and in two steam-boats from Shields. It has since been - cut up, and is pronounced, by tho se com p e t ent to judge, to be a remarkably fine whale of the kind ; it is expected to be very productive.—(Newcastle Chronicle.) MARRIED.
