Tii E TYN E KE ELMEN.—Refractoriness is still the o d -et of the day with the Keelmen on the River Tyne. It is oe th at some of the Collieries above Bridge endeavour to carry Zl 4 f°l. ced trade, by means of Sailors, &c.; but the whole ;„ R is attended with an irksomeness and inconvenience that is 1 40 11— : lel ltlY embarrassing. A number of Keelmen—probably i ng th 9 °, are in co n fi ne ment at the present moment, for violat - t h e elr contracts. In the face of all these doings, however, e ptbte is no falling off in the shipment of Coals coastwise from w i - , Pcl t of Newcastle : for it appears, by an account published Ip ' . ll . these few d a y s , th a t, during the month of SE PT E MBE lt, f ni ch was prior to the Keelmens' stick,) the quantity shipped (it t°4l ALL the Collieries on the River Tyne, was 55,200 chal -01 ; while, for th e f o ll ow i ng mont h o f O CTOBER , (i nc l u di ng e Period of the stoppage on the part of the Keelmen), the 144katity shipped by the Collieries below Bridge alone, was up thitittli of 59,000 chaldrons ! Perhaps it will be inferred from tti e lbibit, in London, that their north country friends work tt°:Collieries than would seem to be requisite for the supply - e h e markets of the empire. This involves considerations, tok e e ', : : that are too important to be discussed in a mere short " the present.—( Newcastle, Nov. 20.) 01u,s i NEW IRISH BISHOP.—The Dublin Free- Journal, of Thursday last, received this th e nl h i4 g ) says, 6 ‘ We are happy to state, from Ale h ighest authority, that his MAJESTY has been A r - , s ed to appoint the Rev.

The Sword of State was carried by Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher in Waiting; Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt; Black ROd; Sir George Naylor, Gar ter King at Arms ; the Bishop of Salisbury , the Chancellor of the Order. _ _ _ The Knights present were—the Marquis of Anglesey, Earl Bathurst, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Lonsdale, Earl Spencer, the Earl of Westmorland, his Royal Highness the Duke of York, his Majesty the King, the Sovereign of the Order, his train being held up by Master Torrens, the Page of Honour in Waiting, attended by the Great Officers of State and the attendants in waiting. , After the King and the Knights and Officers of the Order had proceeded to the Chapter-room, and taken their respective seats and places to form the Chapter, the Chancellor of the Order signified the Sovereign's commands for filling the vacant stall in the Royal Chapel of St. George, Windsor, (vacant by the decease of the late Marquis, of Londonderry), the Chancel lor then proceeded to collect the suffrages from the Knights assembled; which were given by each Knight on a large sheet of paper, and the Chancellor presented them to the Sovereign, when the Chancellor, by command of the' King, declared the most Noble the Marquis of Hertford to be duly elected. Garter King of Arms and Black Road then retired from the bottom of the table, making their obeisances to the Sovereign, to the adjoining room, called the Old Throne Room, where the Marquis of Hertford was in waiting. Garter King of Arms and Black Rod were accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesey and Lord Bathurst, the two junior Knights present, who intro duced the Most Noble the Marquis of Hertford, preceded by Sir George Naylor,•Garter King of Arms, carrying the insignia of the Order of St. George and the Blue Ribbon, on a crimson velvet cushion. The Noble Marquis being introduced'with the usual filrms, his Majesty was pleased to confer the Honour of the Order in the usual forms in putting on the Garter. The King was assisted by the Duke of York, the Senior Knight. The Noble Marquis then received the congratulations of all the Knights present, according to seniority, upon his election to the Order. The Chancellor of the order' then pro nounced the usual admonition to the Marquis upon his election. The Noble Marquis did not receive the honour of knighthood, having been previously knighted when he received the Guelphic Order. The Chapter being ended, Garter King of Arms ealled over the Knights Companions, and the procession returned in the order in which it entered the Chapter-room. His Majesty appeared in excellent health to the delight of every one present. Among the distinguished characters admit ted to see the Royal and splendid ceremony were, the Prince of Bentheein, the Persian Minister, the Sardinian Minister, and the Saxon Minister. _ _ _ . . After the Chapter the King retired and undressed, and then proceeded to his Closet, when Mirza Mahommed Salem, the Persian Minister, was introduced to his Majesty by the Right Hon. George Canning, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the Ceremoniei. His Excellency presented his credentials, and was most graciously received by the King. His Excellency was attended by his Secretary. The Prince of Bentheein was presented to the King on his arrival in England. Count d'Aglie, the Sardinian Minister, and Baron Just, had audiences of his Majesty, the latter on his Excellency's return to England.

THE WEATIIER.—The damage that has been done lately, owing to the high winds, both above and below bridge, has been to a very great extent. Numbers of barges have broken from their moorings,, and, in one instance, a barge belonging to the Adelphi floated up to Battersea-bridge, where it struck against one of the starlings, and nearly dashed it to pieces : likewise a number of boats have got away, and received much damage. During the storm on Friday,-between two and three o'clock in the morning, the Miller at the Mill near the Red House, Battersea, was endeavouring to take some cloth in, as he found the wind so strong ; he mounted one of the sails, and, while in the act of pulling in the cloth, the sail went round ; he jumped off; fell on the stage, and received a severe contusion on his head and back. Owing to the late heavy fall of rains, many of the low parts in Surrey are con siderably inundated,,especialiy in the neighbourhood of King ston and Thames Ditton ; and another fortnight's similar rains would render some of the roads impassable. In the neighbourhood of Battersea, the fields and marshes have a great quantity of water in them ; the owners are employing a num ber of hands to cut drains to carry it off into the Thames—ln Sussex the waters arc likewise greatly out, both in the fields and the roads,, especially in the neighbourhood of Reigate, Crawley, and the low parts thereabouts. Abundant Fruit Year.—From 80 to 100 carts, laden with apples, have passed through the Tad caster Turnpike gate, on their way from York, to J.eeds market, every Monday, for several weeks past. LEGAL DEFIANCE.—Tvvo eminent members of the Irish bar, Messrs. DOYLE and YELVERTON, quarrelled some forty years ago so violently, that from words they came to blows. DOYLE, the more powerful man (at the fists at least) knocked down his adversary twice, exclaiming with vehe mence—" D----- you, you scoundrel, I'll make you behave yourself like a Gentleman," To which Yelverton, rising, answered with great indigna tion, " No, Sir, never ; I defy you." HISTORICAL DOUBTS.--An auctioneer, at 'a late sale of antiques, put np a helmet, with the following 'candid observation :- 44 This, ladies and gemmen, is a helmet of Romulus, the Roman Founder ; but whether he was a brass or iron founder, I cannot tell." Nine persons were buried last week in the city of Norwich, whose united ages amounted to six hundred and ninety-five years. and the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE. RAMSGATE, Nov. 21.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta arrived at Ramsgate a little before six yesterday evening, in two travelling carriages and four, the Duke being attended by Major Stevenson and Her Royal Highness by Miss Wynyard ; they drove to the Albion Hotel, where preparations had been made for their re ception. The Dasher steam-packet, appointed to convey their Royal Highnesses to the Continent, had arrived in the harbour about five o'clock. As soon as the arrival of these Illustrious Personages was known to the Magistrates, one of them (Sir Thomas Grey) had an interview with Major Stevenson, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness, stating the wishes of the inhabitants to ad dress their Royal Highnesses, if they should be graciously pleased to permit them. Major Stevenson conveyed this re quest to the Duke, who commanded him to express his gratifi cation at the good wishes and loyalty of the town, but that the lateness of the hour, and the very short time he should remain in Ramsgate (as it was his intention to embark at seven o'clock on the following morning), prevented his, receiving this testi mony of attachment ; adding his gracious pleasure, " that the Magistrates should attend him an hour hence." His Royal Highness was graciously , pleased to express his approbation of the good wishes of the inhabitants, and of their, loyalty and attachment to the Royal Family upon all occasions ; and for this personal mark of attention, he commanded the Gentlemen to return his thanks. The Magistrates then addressed her Royal highness the Princess Augusta, testifying how sensible the inhabitants were of the distinguished honour of her repeated visits to this town (her Royal Highness having embarked and landed here on her former trip to the Continent), and " begged to express their sincere wishes that her Royal Highness might safely arrive at the end of her voyage." 'At the 'appointea time, Sir Thomas Grey and the Rev. R. Harvey were ushered into. the .Royal presence (the Illustrious Parties having then dined), where they met with a most gracious reception, and on behalf of its inhabitants and visitors " begged leave to acknowledge theifsense of the honour which his Royal Highness had been pleased to confer upon this town by his pre sence, and to express their hearty wishes that his Royal High ness might safely reach the seat of his Government after a pros perous voyage." The Princess graciously thanked them for the good wishes of the town, and expressed her gratification at the marks of atten tion shewn upon her present as well as former visits to Rams gate. The gentlemen remained for some time with the Royal Visit Ors, when they retired exceedingly pleased with the gracious reception they had met with. At day-break this mornintr, the Royal standard was 'hoisted in the Pier-yard, and the carriages and luggage having been put on hoard, the Royal party left the Albion Hotel about half-past seven o'clock, and walked to the end of the Pier, where Capt. Hamilton was ready to receive them on board the Dasher, when they embarked immediately, and left the harbour at 5 minutes before eight. A Royal salute was fired from the cannon at the Pier-head the moment the vessel started. Notwithstanding the early hour, a great many persons were assembled to wit ness their departure, and, with repeated cheers, wished them a prosperous voyage, which their 'Royal Highnesses acknow ledged by repeated bows. The harbour being very full, the vessels were dressed with flags on the occasion, and presented a gay scene. Their Royal Highnesses conversed affably on their way to the Pier-head, asking many questions relative to surrounding ob jects, and appeared , much pleased at the noble appearance of the Pier, and facility of embarkation. ,Is4 lo -;? - 41A . . , . . „. pV , • Q ,-f .- -_ 11: ,_ ..:, ...5, t Te. • t ' 4 i N . 1...::::. `5 ,, '" ~ , -4 'ER OE 1-_ 4 ' - ') ~, i ell 6 ' to V Their ROYAL HIGHNESSES the PRINCESS AUGUSTA FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. • William Ashby, Esq. at Batt's Hotel ; Wm.

HENRY WEST BETTY, Ese. Rectory, Wcm, 18th Nov. 1822. DEAR. SlR—The Committee appointed for the Distribution of Funds, arising from Amateur Plays on the the 29th and 30th ult. beg "to offer their warmest acknowledgment for your generous and humane exertions, which have been so manifest during your stay in Wem ; yet the gratitude they are bound to shesi will be considered trifling, when compared with the feel ings of the Poor and Needy, on whose behalf you, the sole pro. rooter of their relief, stepped forward and roused the benevo lence of this town and neighbourhood.—The Committee are induced to apprize you, that one half the proceeds has been con veyed over to the National Schools, whereby a considerable debt is licruidated, the other half distributed to the deserving poor, whose prayers for your prosperity ought to be unceasing. The consolation experienced by a mind capable not only of pro jecting but of accomplishing for other's good, is far more grate ful than eulogy can bestow.—ln concluding, the Committee hail with high satisfaction you return once more as an occasional resident, and that as few vicissitudes to which man can be subject may accompany your journey through life, is the ar dent and most anxious wish; Dear Sir, of your obliged and humble Servant, EDWARD TUCKER STEWARD, Chairman of the Committee. To the Rev. E. T. STEWARD,' Rector. Chairman, and the Committee, formed for relief of the Poor. GENTLEMEN—You will readily admit, I should hope, that on the receipt of your very handsome communication, I was not aware that any exertions of mine merited the special mark of approbation which it conveys ; but, allow 'me, fostered almost as I may say amongst you, to say, it would ill become me, after an absence of seven years, not to attempt at least, some acknow ledgment of kindnesses, and I most certainly feel every plea sure in Ending my humble efforts have not failed in their pur pose.—The genuine hospitality of friends, and kind attentions of the inhabitants, demand more than thanks, and whilst I re tain a heart, or hold one human sense within my bosom, gra titude must be one ; and bless you fbr the friendship shewn me. That Wem may continue. to vie with its neighbouring towns in prosperity:and opulence is a desire I have always cherished. And believe me, Gentlemen, with every sentiment of gratitude, youz.-very_humble and obedient servant, WM. HY. WEST BETTY. Tally-Ho Cottage, Wem, Nov. 19, 1822. CAMPANOLOGY.—On the 10th inst. was rung at St. Mary in the Fields, Itiegate, a complete peal of 5,120 bob majors, in three hours and 20 minutes, by the Surrey Youths, conducted by GEORGE HOLDSWORTIL POETRY. EDINBURGH. [The following whimsical Lines are extracted from a recent Work, entitled Outlines of Edinburgh, and other Poems," by W. ANDERSON.] When looking - for lodgings a stranger will see Some customs a6struse to a Southron like me. I saw " Lodgings" put up ; and began to explore A dirty stone staircase; and came to a door, With a name, and a bell, and a scraper complete, (Like the doors which, in England, we have in the street.) I rung—and was told there were lodgings next door ; So I turn'd; and went down the stone staircase once more ; And I search'd the next house for these lodgings of theirs ; But discovered at length that next door meant up stairs ; And, on the next story, I speedily came To another street-door, with bell, scraper, and name ; And if you go up eight or nine stories more, Each has scraper,, and bell, and a perfect street-door. This custom at first could not fail to create a Great marvel in me, for they all live in strata ! One over another, from bottom to top, And beginning below with a stratum of shop ! And the mixture is such, that we often may see an Undoubted pure stratum 'twixt str a t a plebeian : You may call on a friend of some ton, and discover him With a shoemaker under and a staymaker over him ! My dwelling begin: with a perriwig-maker ; I'm under a corn-cutter, over a baker ; Above the chiropodist, cookery too ; O'er that is a laundress ; o'er her is a Jew : A painter and tailor divide the eighth flat, And a dancing academy thrives over that : We'll leave higher eil-eles unnam'd :—T'other night, My landlady enter'd my room in a fright, And cried half in tears, with a face full of woe, ";Your lumn's in a low, Sir, your lumn's in a low." I laugh'd in her face ; for her hasty oration, To me, had convey'd very small information : Indignant she bawl'd, when she saw that I laugh'd, " You're foolish—your lumn's in a low—the man's daft!" " The baker ! the oven !"—I now comprehended, And join'd in the cry, ere the uproar was ended,— " The baker ! the oven ! oh, oh ! is it so ? " My chimney's on fire ! my lumn's in a low !"

UNFORTUNATE CASE.—A. zealous Priest in the north of Ireland missed a constant auditor from his congregation, in which schism had made de predations. " What keeps our friend, farmer B--, away from us ?" was the anxious ques tion proposed by our vigilant Minister to his as sistant. " I have not seen him among us," con tinued he, " these three weeks; I hope it is not Protestanism that keeps him away." " No," was the reply, "it is , worse than that." " Worse than Protestanism ? GOD forbid it should be Deism." " No, worse than that." " Worse than Deism! good. heavens, I trust it is not Atheism." " No, worse than Atheism." " Imposible, no thing can be worse than Atheism !" " Yes, it is, your honour—lt is Rheumatism. QUICK, the Comedian, one day passing through Broker-row, Moorfields, was seized upon by a barker of a furniture warehouse, who, without ceremony, pulled him into the shop, and began puffing off his tables and chairs. Quicx made little resistance, but asked the man if he was master of the shop—" No, Sir," said the barker, " but I will fetch him immediately." The man returned with his master, to whom he put the same question—" Are you master of the shop, Sir ?" " Yes, Sir, what can I do for you ? " Only," replied QUICK, " just hold your man a minute, while Igo out!" A CAUTION TO RESURRECTION MEN.—On Sun day, the 17th inst. a poor woman, of the name of West more, and her son, who had both lied within a few hours of each other, were buried in Peverale churchyard, near Ealing, Middlesex ; and a suspicion arose from persons present that an attempt would be made to steal the bodies. In consequence, two men watched in the night with fire-arms, and about one o'clock three men were obserVed to proceed to open the graves, when one of the men on watch fired off with three slugs, and one was seen to fall, whom the other two con veyed to a coach, and made off, without being pursued by the watchmen. They remain unknown, and though disappointed of the bodies in the grave, they might not disappoint the sur geons in a subject of their own wretched crew. THE ARMY.

From its hav ing been hewed (not sawed after the modern mode of felling timber) it was doubtless very ancient, and from its being rough squared, had probably been felled in some of the adjacent woods, and had floated down the channel of the Rother till stopped in its progress by being driven against the wreck of the above vessel.—lt was of solid oak, of the colour of ebony, ml from 20 to 24 inches square.—( Kentish Gazette, Nov. 22.)

About twelve o'clock on Sa turday night, the 16th instant, the unfortunate woman, being much stupifled with liquor, went into an empty room with lighted candle, which it is supposed she dropt on the floor, and in her attempts to lift it, her clothes caught fire, which rendered her so confused that she did not call fox assistance, although some persons lived within hearing. A very short time after she had gone into the room, one of her neighbours, who had accidentally opened the door, found her lying on the floor enveloped in flames. Medical assistance was speedily procured, but the poor woman only survived her painful suf ferings a few days.—( Edinlurgh, Paper) Last night the shop of Air. Gillett, pawn broker, No. 36, Old-street, Saint Luke's, was robbed of a variety of articles, principally jew ellery, in gold rings, broaches, ear rings, neck laces, &c. to the amount of between 101. and. 121. The villains effected their purpose by the bottom of the projecting shop win dow frame with a centre-bit, exactly beneath the articles purloined, (the part having been previously marked with chalk). The gold rings, &c. were forced from the cards, and the whole executed with so much nicety, that not a stray article was left behind, and it was upwards of an hour after the shop was opened that the robbery was discovered.
