CITY, THURSDAY EVIINING. Mails have been received this morning from France, Flan ders, and Gottenburgh, which bring no news of the slightest public importance. The Holy Alliance is about to meet, and their principal object beyond a doubt will be to interfere with the internal policy of nations. The liberties of Spain, Por tugal, and Greece, and the superabundance in the British Empire of the necessaries of life, the progress of human know_ ledge, and the general increase of happiness amongst the hu man race, are subjects too important to the friends of superstition and ignorance, to escape the notice of this most enlightened meeting of the legitimate regulators of the affairs of mankind. They cannot, however, prevent Spain, Greece, and Portugal, from being free. They cannot prevent England from reaping the great public benefits of a superabundant crop. They can not prevent the great majority of mankind from . thinking, and from drawing conclusions from the premises placed before their eyes. Their labours will be impotent, and their exertions would be far better applied, were they only to attend to the in terests and happiness of their own subjects, by promoting amongst them true knowledge, by extending civilization, and by rendering them as perfect as human imperfections will ad mit of. it is impossible for this Holy Meeting at Verona to produce any such effects, and humanity will more probably have cause to mourn than to rejoice in the result of this most holy conclave of dignified and illustrious Legislators. Eng land certainly has no necessity for a Representative .at such Meeting; for she has no favours to grant them, and probably will be refused any which she may ask from them. The only advantage which this Meeting at present promises to mankind. is the amusement which its labours must afford to all who may gain a knowledge of their nature. No farther communications have been received from Greece; and though implicit credit is not reposed in the unfavourable accounts transmitted by the Austrian Observer, of the 16th August, still much anxiety exists for farther advices from that most interesting and afflicted nation. If the Holy Alliance was supposed to be friendly to the liberties of this Christian people, with what raptures would their meeting at Verona not be received ?—The Sultan is, however, known to be a Legiti mate Power, and the cause would be injured by the success of Christian rebels over Mahometan cruelty. No variation takes place.in the British Funds. The account yesterday was settled without any declared defaulters, but the differences were uncommonly small. Consols for the 16th Oct. continue at 80i• 81, and at present there is no appearance of any improvement in them. Foreign Securities are not so saleable as they have been for some time past, and their prices are a shade lower. The general prices paid this day are as follow : French Five per Cent. with Div. from 22d March, Exch. I 25 40. 941 /. Prussian Five per Cent. of 1813 in X. sterl:, with Div. from Ist April, 904.

THE KING'S RETURN.—Mr. THOMPSON, one of the King's own Messengers, and who was se lected to accompany his MAJESTY to Scotland, is arrived in town with despatches from the KING to Mr. WATSON and Mr. MARABLE, at Carlton Palace, announcing that his MAJESTY purposed leaving Dalkeith on Thursday (yesterday.) That day his MAJESTY had fixed to embark on board the Royal yacht, and proceed direct for the Thames. Further communications were made that the KING expected to arrive at Carlton Palace on Sunday afternoon, or Monday morning, as on the latter day his MAJESTY wishes to hold a Council; but the KING will re-enter London without any parade.—Several of the King's ser vants who had preceded, or who accompanied his MAJESTY to Edinburgh, were to leave that city on Wednesday last ; others, together with Lord F. CON YNGIIAM, Sir E. NAGLE, Mr. WAL KER, &c. will return in the Royal yacht, to be in personal attendance on his MAJESTY.—The horses, carriages, &c. that left the stables of Carlton Palace, to remain in Edinburgh during the KING'S sojourn there, were to quit that city on Friday (this day.)—lt appears to have been positively arranged that his MAJESTY would re turn to the metropolis by sea. Should the high winds, however, continue, such determination might be altered, as they might lengthen the voyage.—(Morning Paper.) We find that during his MAJESTY'S visit at Edinburgh there has not been any record of vio lation of the laws on the Police Books of that City. Hence we may infer that the power ascribed to Royalty of curing by a touch is so much increased that even the presence of Ma jesty can remove moral as well as physical evil. This is a marvellous discovery, indeed, particu larly in Scotland, where it has hitherto been supposed that disease is communicated by a teach. The toast given by the Duke of Sussex at the York Corporation Dinner, on Monday last, viz., " The respectability of the Crown, the durability of the Constitution, and the prosperity of the People," does not savour of the usual logical precision which generally characterizes the ora torical effusions of his Royal Highness. The middle part of this memorable toast in fact implies the two others, for " the DURABILITY of THE CONSTITUTION" necessarily includes " the respectability of the Crown, and the prosperity of the People." But the word respectability is now so " common hackneyed in the eyes of men" that it is ill-calculated to express the grandeur, dignity, and importance.of the Monarchical branch, the illustrious Head of our glorious and un rivalled political system. Sir GEORGE 11. ROSE, his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Prussia, is rather unexpectedly re turned to England, having arrived a day or two ago at his residence in New Palace-yard. This return, it is understood, is not occasioned by any " political" movements; it is believed to be con nected with the office that he holds as Clerk of the Parliament. This Gentlemen is also M.P. for Christchurch. His Royal II ighness the Duke of GLOUCESTER, in the course of his excursion down the Wye, arrived at Mon mouth on Friday last, where his Royal Highness was re ceived by the Mayor, Bailiff, &c. in their robes of office, and condescended to walk with them to the Beaufort Arms, from whence he proceeded in his carriage to Ragland Castle, and af terwards returned to dinner. The next morning the Duke, accom panied by the Mayor, visited the Castle, the birth-place of HENRY V.; after which, in the Town Hall, his Royal High ness was voted a Burgess of the Borough of Monmouth. The same honour was conferred on Sir W. de CRESPIGNY, who was also present. His Royal Highness then returned to his yacht, and proceeded on his journey to Tintern Abbey, and from thence to Chepstow. It has been said of the Statue in Hyde Park, that if the Ladies who subscribed for it mean to take a view, they should go before the fall of the leaf. ~ •c 1 3,- sa i..,,e-". • .

The KING'S last public appearance here will be this evening, when he will honour.the Theatre with his presence. The performance will be Rob Roy. The CALEDONIAN /I trlvr BALL was splendidly attended last night. His Majesty arrived at half-past nine o'clock, and was attended by the different Members of the Royal House hold. The King wore a military uniform. The elegant ap pearance of the Assembly-rooms, and of the company, was the same, as at the Peers' Ball, and country dancei, reels. qua drilles, &c. filled up the enjoyments of the night. Several noblemen and gentlemen appeared in the uniform of the Ca ledonian Hunt, viz. a plain scarlet coat, with a gold thistle worked on the collar.—His Majesty stood for a short time after the dancing commenced, and conversed at intervals with the Nobility near him. He then took his seat upon the Throne, from whence, for a long time, he appeared to survey the dancing with much pleasure. His Majesty retired from the assembly at 11 o'clock precisely, and was attended back to Dal keith-place in the same manner as he came. An immense crowd was collected round .the Assembly-rooms to see his Majesty, as well as the dresses of the company ; and' both on his arrival and' departure his Majesty was loudly cheered. At two o'clock this day, the grand MASONIC PROCESSION to lay the first stone of the National Monument on Calton-bill, set +out from the Parliament-house, preceded by bands of music playing masonic airs..-. The appearance of the different lodges wad very splendid, and the paraphernalia . rich and appro priate. The Duke of Hamilton marched in front as Grand Master for Scotland. His Grace was attended by the Duke of Argyll and the Earl of Rosslyn, who have passed the grand, office. Some other Noblemen closed the procession in carriages. The Grand Lodge took its place at the head of the Brethren, and was followed by the Lord Provost and Magistrates in their robes, together with 'the City officers, mace, sword, &c. The head of the procession arrived at Calton-hill a little before three o'clock, when the principal personages (the Peers whose names we have already mentioned) who were with others named as com missioners by the King, entered the platforms erected for their accommodation : the Lord Provost and Corporation, with the Grand Masters, &c. were similarly provided. Nothing could be finer than the appearance of this procession, and as if the masonic emblems of the brethren, which were all newly decorat ed for the occasion, did not furnish objects of sufficient display for the pageantry of the scene, a very formidable-looking person age, half clad in shining armour, and attended by a black and a white page, was led on horseback at the head of one of the lodges. Calton-hill and the neighbouring scites were crowded with well-dressed people, and the bustle and beauty. of the scenery equalled any thing seen here since his Majesty's arrival. Ironies of artillery at half-past three o'clock announced the lowering of the first stone of the monument by the Duke of Hamilton and the other Commissioners, with all the imposing forms of masonic accompaniment. The King will pay a parting visit or) Thursday:next to the Earl of Hopetoun, at his beautiful seat 12'miles from this city : his Lordship's tenantry will be on the lawn to receive the King. His Majesty will, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, take his depar ture from Scotland in a private manner, at Queensferry, near the Hopetoun demesne, where the royal yacht will be in readi ness for his Majesty's reception.

LEAMINGTON, Au6.2B.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, in the course of . yesterday morning, received visits from a number of distinguished characters. The Duke of Gloucester arrived in his chariot and four exactly at six o'clock. The bells of the church struck up a merry peal to announce the arrival of his Royal Highness, and continued ringing at intervals during the evening.—This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, the Duke and Ditthess left this place in a coach and four, attended by Lady Isabella Thynne and Captain Foster, to the universal regret of the inhabitants. As their Royal Highnesses passed, the Pump-room and Prome nade Garden, the company presented themselves, the ladies curtesied, and the gentlemen bowed, whiCh their Royal High nesses very politely and condescendingly acknowledged. Their Royal Highnesses proceeded from here to l3agshot, as the Duke wishes to be in time for the commencement of the shoot ing season. The Duke and Duchess are not expected to reach Bagshot till late in the evening, as they intend stopping some hours at Oxford, to view the Colleges of that University, &c.— The Dowager Duchess of Rutland is among our last arrivals. • LUDICROUS MISTAKE.-011 the first levee-day at Holyrood-House, his Majesty was dressed in full Highland costume, and, from the crowded presentations, was stationed on the left side, and near the entrance of the room. Imme diately opposite were some of his suite, with several Noble men, and amongst them Marshal Beresford, in full court-dress, and splendidly garnished out with all his foreign honours.— A Glasgow Magistrate, in making the entre, sciircely deigned to glance at the familiar figure of his countryman, and passing on to the gorgeous Marshal, knelt and bent forwards, in that fine style of conciliating humility which conducted his country man, Sir Pertinax, through so many lucrative promotions. The Marshal, to prevent delay in the ceremony, smiled, and waived his hand for the kneeling supplicant to pass on, and which he readily did, gladdened by the cheering smile of the great man. Dining afterwards with a numerous party, and boasting of the gracious reception he had ex p er i ence d, he launched out in rap turous eulogy on the rich habiliments and scarlet splendour of the Royal Personage. " Scarlet," exclaimed his adjoining friend, • why his Majesty was dressed in tartan, and you, Sir, must have mistaken the person." " Hoot awa, mon !" re turned the sapient Jnstice, " think ye am sic a gowk as no to ken a King Ira a killed loon, who was nathing else but a muckle Highland serjeant placed as body-guard on his sacred Ma jesty ?"—( Tyne Mercury.

We have already announced the loss, on the Banks of New foundland, of the packet-ship Liverpool, which sailed from New York for Liverpool on her first voyage on the 16th ult.— The whole of the passengers and crew are saved, though their sufferings must have been severe, as they were exposed to the weather for five days in open boats, when they were taken up by a fishing-beat and conveyed to St. John's, Newfoundland. Captain Lee and the crew, with one passenger, have returned to New York ; and the other passengers have come to England in the Dart, which arrived off' Bristol, on Saturday 24th inst.— The only particulars yet known of this lamentable event, are contained in the following extract of a letter, received at Liver pool on illonday - last, from one of the passengers : " Brig Dart, off Bristol, Aug. 24, 1822. " The Liverpool was lost on the 25th ult. on the Banks of Newfoundland, by running foul of an island of ice, but all hands saved and put into St. John's; thence most of the pas sengers proceeded hither in the Dart, of this place, but a pas senger (an infant child) having .died on the passage, we are compelled to wait here the visitation of the quarantine officers, which must delay us from landing until to-morrow. " Captain Lee sailed on the same day with us (6th Aug.) in a schooner for New York, with the whole of the crew and one of the passengers. " The vessel only floated two hours, and nothing was saved except the clothes we had on and a little specie. We were five days in the open boats, and on the seventh arrived at St. John's, having been taken up by a fishing boat on the fifth day." Extract of a Letter from the Minister of the Parish of Kilfi nichen, Isle of Mull, dated 19th August, 1822, to a Gentle man in this City (Glasgow). Ross, Parish of Kilfinichen, Isle of Mull, 19th August, 1822. " "My Father received your favour of the 12th of this month, giving him the melancholy accounts of the loss of Allan M'lnnes' boat from lona, for which he now desires me to offer you his sincere thanks. From this very unfortunate circum stance, I find that there are no less than eight widows and four widowers, the most of them with throng young families, left in a very destitute situation in this parish, besides many aged parents, who were depending for support upon the young men and women lost upon the above melancholy occasion. To ac count for this, I would beg leave to observe, that all that were on board of Mr. Innes' boat, left home with the intention of being employed in the Low Country during the harvest months, in order to gain some subsistence for themselves and families : that necessity compelled them to do so, consequently, that their relations being now deprived of their assistance, are left in a deplorable situation." The Cephues, of Sunderland, coal laden, was lost yesterday in West Bay, Dungeness; crew saved. The front of the boxes of Drury Lane Theatre. are, it seems, to be decorated with paintings of scenes from SIIAKESPEARE. We are of opinion that the public will be better satisfied with seeing those scenes well represented on the stage.—The plan, however, may operate as a spur to emulation, by inducing the actor to endeavour to make a stronger impression on the heart than the painter does on the eye. The farce of Match-making would be a proper vehicle for a few allusions to the new Marriage Act, if the Performers had not reason to dread the critical comments of the theatrical Licenser. MUNDEN, HARLEY, and BLANCHARD, are per forming at the Birmingham Theatre, where Miss M. TREE appeared for one evening, in her way from Liverpool to town. CONJUGAL ROBBERY.—A woman, it seems, has been charged with robbing her husband.—lt is to be feared that too many huF.bands, as well as wives, may be justly accused of robbing each other of—domestic peace. PUN.—A Provincial Journal observes, that, " as the Cider (Sider) counties are so abun dantly prolific in apples, Nature may be accused of being partial." GOLDSMITIL—Johnson's opinion of this de lightful writer was finely expressed in a conver sation with Boswell.—" Goldsmith," said the latter, " has acquired more fame than all the Officers last war who were not Generals."- 44 Why, Sir," said Johnson, " you will find ten thousand fit to do what they did, before you find one who does what Goldsmith has done. You must consider that a thing is valued according to its rarity. A pebble, that paves the street, is in itself more useful than the diamond upon a lady's finger." RESIDENTIARY CLERGY, &c. The BiAhop of LONDON'S Visitation Charge to his Clergy ; as it refers to the alteration of an Act, on which so many prosecutions were instituted by a Mr. Wracter, and as it speaks of the be neficresulting from such a change, may be deem ed interesting : ". At our last periodical Meeting," says his Lordship, f' -s f had to call your attention to the alterations which had been . • made by the wisdom of Parliament in that part of the Statute Law of the realm, which relates to the Residence of n.e. Clergy, and the Maintenance of Stipendiary Curettes. .711.+' 'Act, which consolidated and amended the several laws whrelt" • ,• 'had been passed at different times on this important branch - of ecclesiastical discipline, has now be©n in action' about..'' i five, years, and has been found by experience produCtive. "" of material benyit, whilst the 'temporary alarm, excited. by some of of its enactments has proved altogether groundless.-- This, I conceive, is the true test of every legislative mea sure. The fitness of laws is not to be estimated by Mere in.:. I spection of the letter, without constant regard as well to the nature and end, as to the general condition and temper,.ot' the society which they are designed to regulate. This ob servation, of singular use in appreciating our great constitu tional laws, and our criminal and civil code, may be applied with equal propriety to this particular law, designed to, imnroVe and facilitate the administration of Church discipline: t!OrAi dered abstractedly from practice, it may perhaps appear fettity . the powers, which it'places in the bands of the Bishop, may be thought insufficient in some respects, and excessive in others. Yet I doubt whether a nearer approach to theoretic parfeciii would be attended with corresponding advantages in point o . fact. Many causes concur, on the one hand, to restrain the Diocesan from the arbitrary use of his authority, and, on the other, to dispose the Clergy to obedience ; and thus the f,;'reat . ends of all government are tacitly obtained by a compro.: mese, with no less effect, I believe, and with greater conve. nience to the parties concerned, than by exact precision in - the framing of laws, and rigid strictness in their execution.-- . The most important duties of a Clergyman, the effective And.. adequate discharge of his pastoral functions, can never be en forced by compulsion. Their efficiency depends on the ternper and manner in which they are performed ; and they derive their force, as well as their grace, from that liberal spirit of piety, which takes the direction of its movements from the rules of law, and the measure of its exertions from a conscien-. tious sense of duty. " Of the general prevalence of this disposition among the-- Clergy of this Diocese, I was satisfied by the result of the very particular inquiries which, when first I was called to the see, I was under the necessity of making, in consequence of the vexa lima proceedings against many incumbents, who, by inatten tion to legal formalities, had become subject to heavy penalties; and the opinion which, on that occasion, I formed on the report of others, has since been confirmed by my own experience. The recollection of that period will, however, suggest to In cumbents not legally residing on their benefices, the extreme im portance of complying in every particular with the requisitions. of the Statute, which at that time was most carefully framed, with a view both to their personal security and to the interests of their spiritual charge. The slightest irregularity in these matters may expose them to ruinous penalties-; nor can I allow that, in such a case, they would have much reason to complain. Attention to forms is so essential to the preservation of discip line, that it may fairly be made the condition of an indulgence granted by the Legislature." On the subject of catechising, and of the ancient mode of proceeding towards godfathers, god, mothers, efc,, the Bishop of LONDON, remarks--, " The general disuse into which this practice has fallen, L consider as calamitous to the interests of piety in the highest de gree, not only by removing one of the strongest excitements to the parents to teach, and to the children to learn, the doctrine,' and laws of their Christian profession, but still more by its fatal effect in frustrating the purpose, which it was the principal ob ject of the ordinances relating to these points to attain. If at the age when the mind is susceptible of the strongest impres sions, the young are regularly brought into personal intercourse with their Minister, and accustomed to receive their instrue- • tions from his lips, they will naturally imbibe a respect for his person, and a reverence to the sacred character of , his office, which will prove the strongest of barriers against immorality and vice, as well as dissent and infidelity.— They will regard with deep veneration the 'truths which they have received upon his authority, end will feel, what reasoning can hardly, make clear to the ignorhnt, the danger no less of guilt than of error, in deserting 'the appointed guide of their youth for intrusive and unknown teachers.— The discontinuance of this salutary practice: imputable, neither to the neglect of the Beclesiastical GoVerpors—for they have constantly remonstrated against it—nor 'to the indol ence of the parochial Clergy ; but was' a concession most-re• luctantly yielded to the fastidious impatience of their con, gregations. • " I am not so fondly attached to ancient usages, however, beneficial in themselves, as to press the crude and hasty revival of a method of teaching, which, at least in its ordinary form, has proved, on experience, unsuitable to the habits anti feelings of modern times. To ensure success to the experiment, must' judgment would be requisite in preparing the way by the pre vious removal of objections, and improving the practice itself by such modifications as would render it popular as well as useful. But I feel it my duty ,to say, that if we would give an effectual check to the alarming diffusion of impious principles among the lower ranks, and secure their adhe rence to the Establishment, tee must act in this respect on the views of the ; Church, in substance, if not in fbrm. The instruction which' was formerly given by this simple method in our Churches, is now more expeditiously, and, as far as re gards the mere communcation of knowledge, more effectually taught in the National Schools. I have seen with unmixed satisfattion the gr iwth of these excellent institutions, and, I think, have already observed the commencement of those bene ficial effects, which, for obvious reasons, are less distinctly per ceptible at present flan we justly expect them to become at a future season. But amidst their numerous excellencies, I cone cider as one of t/teir chief, I may say the greatest of all their advantages, the opportunity which they give to the Clergy in populous places, of becoming known to the rising generation in the character of Pastors, invested by lawful authority with the charge of their spiritual interests, and having a right to their attention and obedience. And I will not conceal my opinion, that if by any fatality (which I am far from anticipating.), the parochial Clergy should become so indifferent to their interests and duties, as to resign the superintendence and controul of establishments of this kind, the result would be injurious to the efficiency of the schools." [The Bishop of LONDON adds, that such indifference would be fatal to the best interests of the Church, and the cause of Christisnity.l FLOCGING.—A fellow underwent the ceremony of a public flogging, this morning, for stealing a sieve of Peas. He was whipped from Rus'sell street to the church, the scene of his depreda tion. He denoted by the noise he made that be was a man of feeling, but though the she at tracted numerous spectators, they appeared to be too callous for sympathy. CAMBRIDGE, AUG. 29.—0 n the 20th inst. S. E. Coach, Esq. was chosen . Mayor of the borough of Huntingdon for the Year ensling, upon which occasion he gave an elegant and sumptuous dinner to a numerous party of his friends. After the cloth was drawn, Mr. C. addressed the company in a neat and animated speech relative to the office to which had been elected, which was received with repeated marks of applause. The afternoon was spent in a more than usual 'cot vivial manner, being enlivened by the favourite songs of Mr. Gurner and Mr. Butler of the Theatre, who were politely in vited to the dinner.—On the 22d inst. at a Corporate Assembly at Bury, P. J. Case, Esq. was elected Chief Magistrate of that Borough for the year ensuing : and Sir T. G. Cullum •Bart. 0. R. Oakes, Esq. C. Blomfield, Esq. J. Borton, Esq. T. Cocksedge, Esq. and .1. Thompson, Esq, Assistant Justices. 'l'll E MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Atm. 30.
