II ER MAJESTY. [FULITHER PARTICULARS.] On Wednesday HER iNIAJEsTv dined at her Pr 'lace, at three o'clock, accompanied by the Prin cesses AUGUSTA and ELIZABETH : she ate a very hearty dinner, as she is accustomed to do, and appeared in the same excellent good health which she has enjoyed for some time past, and which her healthy appearance indicates. HER MAJESTY, accompanied by the Princesses, kft the Palace about four o'clock, to return to Windsor. When they attived at Hammersmith, the Queen found herself taken suddenly unwell with, as we under , stand, a violent spasm in the stomach, which in creased to such ,a degree when they arrived at Jurnhain-green, that the Princesses found it ne cessary to stop the carriage. Her Majesty aight ed, and was conducted by her Royal and affec tionate daughters to a house close to , he spot, tire inhabitants of which rendered very promptly every possible assis t ance and atteirion to their afflicted QUEEN. Mrs. CHARLOTTE BECKENDOEFF, the Mistress of the Robes, and Miss BCCKEND'iRFF, her PiLijesty's priucipal Dresser, were following shortly after the Queen and Princesses' carriage, front the Queen's Palace, on their way to Wind sor, to attend her Majesty. Ob s erving the Royal coinage had stopped, and that a number of per sons had collected round a house, in which they were informed that the QUEEN and PatticESSES were, they alighted from their.carriage, awl went into the house with all possible speed, to the as sistance of the Queen. In a short time after, HER lIIAJESTY, finding herself much hatter, entered her carriage again, aCCoMpanied by the Prinees , ,es, and proceeded to Kew-palace, where they were received by NIES. TUNSTALL, the Housekeeper, wita made the QUEEN and Princesses.soineJea . , which very much refreshed HER MAJESTY, and she found herself much better. The Royal party then proceeded in their carriage to Windsor, where they arrived at half -past seven o'clock. ‘Ve are happy to say the QUEEN reported that she found to had effects from the sudden and violent attack which she had experienced and it affords us great pleasure that the report of the state of HER MA. ZESTY yesterday was equally favourable. ADDITIoNAL PARTICULARS. — Aboot five o'clock Ett AlAsEs - ry arrived at Turnham Green. When the carriage reached the further extremity of that village, it was suddenly stopped. The escort of dragoons not being apprized of such a circum stance, rode on,a considerable way before they received orders to halt ; and the female attend ants, who followed the Queen in another car riage, became extremely alarmed, from an appre hension that her Majesty was seized with some dangerous indisposition. The house at which the royal carriage stopped is situated a short distance beyond the old Packhorse, on the road leading front Turnham Green to Kew Bridge. It is a small cottage occupied by Mrs. Lloyd. who, we noderstand,, had once been employed in instructing- the Princess ELIZABETH in drawing. One of the royal footmen knocked at the door, which was opent:d by Mrs. LLOYD'S female ser- Vant ; and then the QUEEN, accompanied by the Princesses ELIZABETH and AUGUSTA, got out of the carriage and entered the cottage. At this time a considerable crowd was collected On the Spot, attracted by the curiosity which a circumstance that never occurred before must flatnatnrAlly have ex tiled. The gentlemen present took off their hats and bowed to the QUEEN and PniNcEsses as they alighted from the carriage ; while HER MAJESTY and tier Royal Daughters acknowledged this mark of respect and loyalty by the most gracious and complacent deportment. The QuEEN did not ap pear to be severely indisposed ; on the contrary, there was an amiable smile on her countenance while she'svas repaying the civilities of those who stood round-her. The crowd still continued at the spot, and was increasing every moment. The QUEEN and PRINCESSES, after stopping in the , }►ouse about ten minutes or a quarter of an ho r, returned to their carriage; and the Princess ELIZABETH, calling to one of the footmen; de sired him to ride on before the carriage to Kew, and inform the housekeeper at the Palace t h at HER MAJESTY would drink tea there.--The Royal Warty then proceeded on their journey.—Herald. By the arrival of the Gotteuhtu•gh mail yester day, 'letters are received -from almost every port in Russia. No interest whatever is attached to the small fleet ordered o sail from Revel. It is.tnen tinned, that if these vessels remain longer in port They would have to whiter in the Baltic, which is illways, if possible, avoided. It is presumed that they intend proceeding to the Mediterranean, to avoid a northern winter. One letter from Russia mentions, " that the Algerines pay no respect to any of the northern tiags.7.

We cannot say that tits• removal of her terrors has brought forth any improvement of her powers. Her style of singing was somewhat to,' flourishing, anti her vivacity did not seem of the right favour. In consevence of a domestic loss in the family of Dote-1-os, the part of The Baron teas assigned to GATTIE, who, if not a great is always a judicious performer, and who was a more respectable substitute than was to be ex pected CovosT-Gannss.—The pleasant COmedy of She Stoops to Conquer, supported as it is so well in the representation, rh•ew a crowded audience last night. Miss BausTos was again adroit able in the character of Miss flardeastle. The humour of this very interesting Actress is perfectly natu ral, and her judgment seems Bar beyond her years. Nothing could be timwe agreeably playful than her manner of treating Young Marlow, under her as sumed part of the Bar-maid, ih the earlier scenes, and her complete knowledge of character through the whole of her performance. CHARLES KE,INI BLE'S Young Marlow was again an animated and excellent performance. As tot LisTos, his Tony Lumpkin would excite risibility even in fleraeli tus. The whole, indeed, is an admirable treat for the lovers 'of genuine e.unic humour. UNIVLItsITY IN ELLIGENCE.

On Saturday, the 'Committee of the Coal Trade of the rivers Tyne and Wear, the several Subscri bers to the superb Service of Plate which has for some time been preparing as a tribute of gratitude to Sir HUMPHRY DAVY, for his invaluable disco very of the Safety Lamp, with a considerable num ber of other Friends, assembled at Mr. FOSTER'S to partake of a dinner given to that eminent phi losopher on its presentation. After a sumptuous repast, which, with the various wines, did the highest credit to Mr:FOSTER, Mr. LAME ON, the Chairman, opened the proper bitsiness of the Meeting in a most admirable speech ; in which, after detailing in the most feeling manner the dreailhil effects of inflammable. air 'in our cOal mines, he pronounced a high but merited eulo gium on Sir HUMPHRY DAVY,'for the success with which he had applied the principles of experi mental science to the bringing to perfection of an invention, which, while it has given complte Secu rity to the miner, has removed t be anxiety of the coal proprietor ; and concluded by requesting, in the name of the Coal'Trade of the river's Tyne and \%Tear, his acceptance of this testimony of their respect and gratitude. _ HUMPiIRY, under the pressure of feelings of great emotion, returned thanks, in a short but excellent speech, and afterwards, on hi's health being drank, with long life and happiness to en joy it, Le entered at some length into the impor tance cif experimental science—as supplYing mate rials for the Statesman, the Manufacturer, and the Artist, to apply to the aggraneisement,t he comfort, and the ornament of human society. He detailed the various diffieldtieS he had had to contend with, in the progress of this invention to its present state of maturity ; and briefly alluded to the attempts xhich. had been made to rob him of the credit of his discovery ; the refutation of which %vere abun dantly supplied in the publicity with which it had been proceeded in, so that the Whole scientific world, it might be said, was made acquainted with every step of its progress. On the health of the Bishop of the Durham, th early friend :of Sir Ilumplity, and' , the particular patron of this invention, being given, Mr. COLLINSON, in ‘he Bishop's name, returned thanks. and said that nothing but his advanced age Mould have prevented hiui from attending the present meeting ; but that none was more con= rhiced than he of the great importance of this discovery, which seemed in a particular manner to fall in with the plan of Providence, in allevi ating the miseries and preserving the lives of an important and valuable class of workmen, in thd course of their necessary occupations. On the Dean and Chapter being drank, Dr. GRAY returned thanks in the name of the Body of which he was a Member, and pronounced a high eulogium on the readiness with which Sir H. had undertaken,-and the patience with which he had conducted, the series of experiments which had led to this happy result. Sir FIUMPHRY proposed the health of Dr. Gray, atthounciog that it was entirely owing to his'sug gestion, that his attention had been first drawn to the subject. The Do,cilift, in returning thanks, observed, that ever since he had come to reside in this coun try, bit; attention had been -forcibly led to the amelioration of the condition of this most impor tant class of men, and snore to the removal of the dangers to which they were subject. He took some credit to himself for having proposed and instituted the Society in Sunderland, for the pre• vention of accidents in coal mines ; and having had the honour of being acquainted with Sir Humphrey, he had invited him to pay particular attention to this subject. Sir Humphry had, with the greatest readiness, accepted his invita tion, and on his paying him a visit for the ex press purpose. the only merit be claimed was the introducing him to Mr. &oldie, and such other Gentlemen as were likely to give him informa tion. He had, however, the highest satisfaction in the result. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of Mr. Bucidle and the Viewers of the Tyne and Wear, with some appropriate and well-merited meats. Mr. BoDDLE, in returning thanks, enlarged on the importance of the invention, as it would give great facility to the newly introduced system, by which the greater part of the coal was wrought, instead of the small proportion which ,could be ob , ained by the old system. On Mr. Clayton and the Committee for pro viding the plate being drank, Mr. CLiviTog, io a neat speech, expressed, on the behalf of his Col leagues, the pleasure they had experienced in pro viding an appropriate memorial of an invention, never to be forgotten, but which could never be sufficiently requited. The Lord Lieutenants and the Members of the two . Counties, the Members for Newcastle, the Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle (RonEttr CLAYTON, Esq. Mayor, returned thanks), and va rious other toasts having been given, W. Lo rtAINE, Esq. after observing, that after the atten tion of the company had been so long engaged with this splendid production of art, it might not be improper to call their attention to the produc tions of nature; he therefore begged leave to propose " Lady Louisa Larnbton—luck and a lad !" Mr. LAMBTON, in returning thanks, observed, that whatever family it might please Providence to entrust him with, it should ever be his ended. vour to inculcate on them the duty, which he trusted his family had not hitherto neglected, of promoting the interests of the Counties of Dur ham and Northumberland, and particularly of the Coal Trade of the rivers Tyne anti Wear. The Chairman quitted the Chair at an early hour, and, with Sir Humphry, retired amidst the plaudits of the company.--(Newcastle Paper, Oct. 14.) The First Division of the Inniskilling Regi ment of Dragoons marched from our Barracks on Monday morning last, on their route for Birming ham ; they have beeti with us nearly two years, during the whole of which time their conduct has been in the highest degree orderly, and .their de parture is regretted by the inhabitants in general. (Exeter Flying Post, Oct, l 5 .) SHOAL OF WHALES. [From the Dundee Advertiser.] Qrt Sit:,y I 15e a sh i oal of fishes of the kind called Finner, a species of small Whale, was ob served in our river. It was , 'seen again on Mon day morning by some people on the South Coast, and by them followed in a fishing coble. About eight o'clock it was observed, by many from our harbour. The boats droVe the shoal before them, towards the entrance of the new harboor, and, aft, -r tack ing about there for a little time, it bents it3cour;. , e. along the new east scalf. At this time, the chase exhibited a scene unique and beautiful. The sea monsters, in number nearly 40, and in part seen above water, ploughed - their way majestically along, and about 20 boats foil of people, with anxious and eager looks; followed close after, kcePing them • together, and driving them towards the shore. They were soon hemmed into the corner formed by Mr. Blair's wood-yard anti the new wall. 0 for the pen of a 1-Join r to describe the scene which followed ! Boats clashed into the thick of mighty strangers. 'The .lanthnen rushed into the water. Blow followed fast upon blow. Har poons, tareh-stAr, - lances, Lott-hooks, spears, adzes, pikes, and pick-axes, were raised on high, and inflicted tni)ay a gashing wound. Blood. spouted aruundomd dyed the flood. Men bawled ; women screamed; the tails- of the monsters flapped— Arld wade a tempest though the winds were still." But though. the etteral.asptct of the scene was thus strikiug, - a more minute examination brought out circumstances irresistibly ludicrous. Here might be seen a sturdy labourer, grasping in his arms the tail of one monster, loul east about by its lashing, but still clinging to his prey. There, a lusty 'carpenter, after a death-dealing blow, which sunk his adze np to the shaft in the hide of ano ther, struggling manittlly to extract it ; but fain at last to escape with the loss of his ‘veapon,from the lashing of the dreadful creature's tail. There, a boat, borne away upon the shoulders of a mon ster, was no uncommon sight ; and upon one oc casion, a sailor lad, by way of securing his right to the property of a fish which he had laid bola of, mounted upon its back, held fast by'the fins, and was borne along in singular' style, calling out as he,went, `f I have got this chap ; I have him fast !" Every fish %v as killed. Their length was from 12 to 21 feet ; and they would produce from. one to five hundred weight of oil. MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-We are happy to say that the receipts of the - late Festival, reported in our last at 83211. 1 Is.. 3d. have since, by additional benefactions, been increased to 84264. I Is. 3d.-- tn report of the meeting we inadvertently omitted to acknowledge the interest and zeal dis— played on behalf of the Charity by her Grace the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, VISCotHHCSS Anson, and the other noble and: distinguished Ladies, by whom the plates - were held at the doors of the Church after each morning's performance, and to whose kind and benevolent exertions the success attending the several collections is in no small degree to be attributed.---(Birmingham Paper) ELOPEMENT AND DUEL. -00 Wednesday morn. ing Miss S., a young Lady highly accomplished, the daughter of a merchant deceased, anti who is entitled, under her_ father's will, to a considerable fortime .when ,:he comes of ege, quitted her bro ther's house, with whom she resided, in • the neighbourhood of Kennington, accompanied by a confidential female servant, and at a few yards distant trom her house was met by Captain C-, by whom she was safely seated in a postrchaise and four. The parties then set off full speed on a matrimonial expedition, flattering themselves that all their difficulties were at an end, and that the high road to happiness was open before them. Unfortunately for them, however, the news of their flight was quickly communicated to the bro ther, who was well aware of the attachment, and having obtained information of the road they had taken, lost no time in commencing a pursuit, and succeeded in overtaking them at an Inn 25 miles from town, where they were resting in imaginary security. The brother succeeded in separating the lovers, and bringing the Lady back, but not till a warm altercation and a defiance had passed be tween him and the disappointed lover, who, with the discarded Abigail, returned to town together. Yesterday morning a meeting took place btttaveto the Gentlemen, in the fields at the back of Ken. nington Common, where they exchanged shots, and Mr. S. receised his adversary's ball in his. right shoulder. The wound is not considered dangerous. A great error put to rights.—When the rapid rise in the Funds is mentioned, people having no money there say, " What is that to me ?" forget ting how every holder of a Lottery Share is ad vantaged by it ; so much so, that it CARTER, No. 8, Charing. Cross, should sell (a most pro bable event) the Two 20,000/, Stock Prizes, he will have to give each bolder of a Sixteenth near ly a Hundred Pound's more than if Stocks had not risen.—!s not this a good reason for looking -at both I CARTER'3 paragraphs and the price of Stocks? G. CARROLL, the Contractor, is proud to per ceive, from the rapidly increasing sale of the pre sent Lottery, the general approbation with which the Scheme is regarded. He ea rnestly recom mends to the attention of the Public the numerous advantages . which Adventurers will possess who purchase in this"Lbtterv, which contains no less than Six Prizes of 20,0001 !—Tickets and Shares arc on Sale at the Contractor's Offices, 7, Corn shill, and 26, Oxford-street, where the last 30,0001. was sold. The Drawing will commence un the 7th of Next Month. It is observable, when the Funds are or the ad vance, the Lottery Offices are sure to be thriving; indeed it is very natural when a man's property in creases, independently of himself,' that he Should consider himself lucky, and then try to whst‘ex tent Dame Fortune way he disposed to befrieitri . him. Certain it is, there is at present a very brisk demand for Tickets and Shares, particularly at SivEwaiGHT's.. o ffices, for since he set the ex` ample of lowering the price, and of adding to the intrinsic - value of a Ticket, he has been great favourite with the Public, and having sold the last 20,0001 Prize, many think his luck will continue, and that some of the Six Prizes of 20,0001. in the Lottery which begins 7th of Next Month., will also be sold by SAVEWRIGHT. r
