SUMGAIT, SEPTIIIIBIIi 50.
The King's late visit to this place continues the
Subject of conversation in every circle. It is ill
honour that will not be soon forgotten. His Ma-
jesty'd affability and condescension have made a
lasting impression on every heart. It was, there-
fore, with peculiar delight, we noticed the excel-
lent health and spirits which he appears to enjoy,
notwithstanding all the fatigues he has recently
undergone. His Majesty took coffee with Lady
Curtis at twelve o'clock on Monday night, and did
not retire to rest until near three o'clock, his pages
not having arrived until two o'clock. He was,
notwithstanding, up in good time next morning.
and on board his yleht at eleven, after having re-
ceived the deputation at the Pier House, with
the Address of the inhabitants and visitors of this
town. I have conversed with I Gentlemen
who have returned to this place from Calais,
to which they accompanied his Majesty. They
contradict that part of a Dover letter inserted in
your Paper of yesterday, which states that the
Royal Sovereign yacht could not have got so for.
ward without the assistance of a steam vessel, which
must have towed lier•to Iletrisgate through the Downs
against the flood. r The Royal Sovereign wanted no
assistance whatever from any steam-vessel ; from
her superior sailing she easily outstripped the rest
of the squadron, and reached Calais some time be-
fore them. Beside*, had his Majesty wished to
have reached Calais sooner, he might have sailed from
this port at an earlier hour. You mentioned, how-
ever, in your Paper, that a great deal of regret and
disappointment are felt at Dover in consequence of
the preference given by his Majesty to Itamsgete for
his embarkation, and this may account for. the
mistatement in the Dover letter. The landing
of his Majesty at Calais, I am sorry to add, was
not accomplished without a little risk, owing,
it is said, to some awkward mismanagement of a
French railing-boat, which hail the honour of re-
ceiving his Majesty from the Royal George, impro-
perly coming close to the bow of the yacht, where
the boat's mast got entangled for a moment.
At this period the King's cap fell into•the water,
and he lost it. His Majesty, however, got safe on
shore, and in high spirits; he seemed much en-
tertained with the difference of the manner and
appearance of the French from that of the people
whom he had so recently left at Ramsgate.—
The dinner had been provided at Dessin's hotel
by the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of
Londonderry, who had previously arrived. The
company who sat down to the royal repast,
amounted to fourteen persons, French and Eng-
lish. Mr.. Curti., who accompanied his
_Majesty
from nalkilgate, hod the honour of being one of the
',arty. The same party afterwards visited the Theatre,
a here the King remained three hours, during which
he wee rapturously cheered, and seemed highly de-
Irghted. Ile retired shortly after to rest, and left
Calais at half-put eight o'clock on Wednesday for
Lille, where lie proposed to sheep that night and
proceed next morning (Thtirsd.r:t) for Brussels.
—The Colonel of the French guard of honour
was one of the company who hail the honour of
dining at the rcyal table. The other officers and
privates of the guard received a carte blanche
from his Majesty to order whatever refreshments
they pleased, and at his departure he ordered a
doirati.li of five francs to be inesentei to each
private of the guard.

SWEARING IN OF
THE' NEW SHERIFFS.

Yesterday was the day appointed for this Cert.
agony, and a large crowd had collected in Guildhall
for the purpose of wttn•eslog it. Ate little before
one o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived in state, and
held a Court of Aldermen. At a quarter past one
the Sherifir;-Elect, Aldermen airrott and Vents-
bles, arrived in new nod splendid carriages. The
carriage of Alderman Grrratt wa. the most elegant,
without being gaudy, of any thing of the kind we
have ever seen. The colours are green and gold,
with the arms of the Goldsmiths' Company, to which
be belongs, and the 'trios or his family emblazoned
on the panto:ls, and on the hammer-cloth. The
horses were decked out in green and orange ribbons.
The servants wore splendid liveries of green and
gold to correspond. The carriage of A Idermais
Venaliles was of a sky-blue colour, with hammer-
cloth, &c. of silver, and the footmen iu blue liveries
with silver lace.

The new Sheriff's were splendidly dressed in ma-
roon coats, surmounted by their state robes of
scarlet, and looked extremely well. They were
sworn with all appropriate solemnity by H.
Woodthorpeg Esq. The last ceremony was SO
ItiVCSI them with the gold in•isrna of office, when
some surprise wus occasioned at a novel variation
from the old costume of wearing gold climb's witlithe
plain link, blared of which the new Sheritfa were
invested with ;told oruautrut•, consisting each of
three coils of gold rope or chain, but attached to a
superb ornament affixed to the breast of the waist-
coat. The new costume was much admired, and
generally considered much more appropriate than
the old. After the u►uel had been
mode, the Lord Mayor and Court of Alderiueu
retired.

The new Sheriffs proceeded to the Court of
Common Pleas to receive the custody of the per-
sons in Newgste and Whitecross-street.
Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgste, in giving in
the list of the Prisoners in his custody, observer',
that be had examined the prison accounts, fund that
there never had been so small a number of Prisoners
transferred to the Sheriffs on such an occasion
since the prison had been built. He took the op-
portunity of congratulating the Sheriffs on the cir-
cumstance.

Mr. Brown and Mr. llarkray then delivered
up the keys to the Sheriffs, who trunsferred them
to the new Sheriffs.
Mr. Hudson, of Monument-yard, was appointed
Under-Sheriff to Alderman Garrett ; Mr. Smith,
the late Under-Sheriff, was re-appointed as Under-
Sheriff to Alderman Venables.

BOXING AT MOLES R Y HURST.
At the close of Enigma races, oa Thursday, Acme fond of
milling sports had a rich treat is two gallantly contested
battles, which kept the amateurs till dirk. The first was
for a 10/. puree, between Joe Nash. the Kiagston champion.
and who had reerited well the title, and Sully Cooper, the
lightiag Gine,. Bedford secoeded the Gipsy, and Peter Sass.

blow upon his adversary's ear. sad he fiallownd op Ili. diew

Gipsy drew claret from his adverenry'a mouth; bet is return
Nash impulsed his head in chancery, sad be kept it there till
tbe end of the OEIO.

3. The Gipsy broke front his adversary's right hand, and
Rot his left into action, and it partially told, but Nash was
too strong and too active. and he threw his adversary.

Nash, who placed some h►avy hits on the front of his 'Weer-
say's nolo, which completely nehequered his, and be floored
the Gipsy by a belly-go fritter.
The Gipsy fought his best, but Nash bss many hidden
qualifications as a boxer, and be won it cleverly at last.
The second battle was fought between two as good little
men (sokutiwn to the poise ring) as ever peeled Fast-vale
actiuu, with unmuazed gait, was the order of the will. They
were known as Gi figerpole aid Bluckloas, and t►e latter
won it.

Sir Groff was not present. There was no gale or Bougay-
deal bolt: it was all upon the squa►e.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE.

Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken at the
Queries Head, Lower-street, Islington, before THOMAS
STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of John Irwin,
aged 28 years, who destroyed himself by cutting his throat
with a razor.

Mr. William White, residing at N 0.2, lower Smith-street,
Northampton•squa►e, deposed, that nu Wednesday morning,
about eight o'clock, be was parsing along the New River,
near the Green-lanes, Newington, whee he was told by a
young man, whom he met, that there were the clothes of a
man lying nn the gras.. They looked about, but saw nu
person; and after waiting ■ gamier of as, hone took the
clothes to the toll-house in the read, and on searching the
pockets found some baker's bills. due to Mr. Guinan, a
bake., of Barbican. Witness kft the clothm at the gate, and
proceeded to Barbican, gad it turned out that the deceased
was employed by Mr. O. as a journeyman. Witness also
found its the pirate!, s ailser•wmck and 11.. in silver, besides
a few halfpence. They returned to the river to procure the
drag, to search fir the body, when they were told, by two
permits t►at were fishing, the deceased had beer found with
his throat tut in a ditch. _ _

Thomas Ridgway, corkeeper, residing in the Green-lames,
at Newington, deposed, that nu the morning of the dreadful
event, he was inspecting the fences in • held belonging to
him, they being in a dilapidated slate, *hes, on looking
over a stile which leads into a held belonging to Mr. Rhodes,
he was dreadfully alarmed at seeing the deceased quite naked
lying on his face in ■ deep ditch, the water of which was
coloured with blood; on looking briber he fouud that the
deceased bad nearly severed his bead from his body, which
was covered with congealed blood, traces of which were
discernible • distance of thirty or forty yards. He instantly
repaired to the sexton of Winton, and the body of the de-
ceased was removed to the bocce-house in • shell.
Mr. R. Guillan, a baker, residing*, 26, Barbican, and with
whom the deceased had been employed for eight years, at-
tended, and gave him a most excellent character for ho-
nesty, Sec. He considered the cause of the rash art to be
owing to the inconstancy of a female to whom the deceased
was about to be united. Her name was Sarah M—, and
had lived servant with Iwo foreign Gentlemen (merchants)
in Finsbury.place, by one of whom she was pregnant. The
seducer bad offered the deceased 601. to have the child sworn
to him, or to marry the girl. This transaction bad brought
on insanity. The deceased called on he► on Tuesday
night, and high woods arose between them, which must have
increased the disorder. He left her at six o'clock on Wed-
•esday morning to commit the horrid deed.
The Jury returned a verdict, That the Deceased cut Ate

'hall, Eaq. bad taken his seat, a GentPentair who had placed
himself ii the situation visually allotted to witnesses, ruse,
and addresaiog himself to the Magistrate, stated his name to
be Squire, of Lanthanum Chambers, Fencheireb.street, that
be called in consequence of a paragraph which had appeared !
ie several of the paper., respecting an •pplicatiou made by a
person dressed as a Quaker on Thursday, and from the dr. -
'caption given of his appearance and conduct, be hail no
doubt hut that it was a brother of his who was belittle, ain't
that the object of hi. application was In rcqoest he might
be detained if he should again appear at the office.
Mr. Minifiedl remarked. that be revolter-led the circum-
stance perfectly well of his coming to the office but diet he
mast be made farther aequaintesi with the affair hefore he
should feel himself authorised to detain him if he should
again make his appearance.
Mr. Squire then staled, that his brother was the proprietor
of an extensive farm near Ryegate„ Surer), the massagers:en,
of which he had superintended himself fur many years
abort May last he was seized wills an which confined
him for a short lime, and on his recovering his bodily health it
was discovered that his intellects were air:coed; he continued
getting worse for a month, and it was then judged n
by ti • pliplician who attended him to put him under restraint.
This measure seemed to have effected a fav-urable change.
and he was again teleased. in the hope that the pursuit of his
usual avocation would fully reittlili.h his cure. A short
tome back he absconded from Ryegate, since which time his
friends were unable to discover him until the present period :
they however :ascertained that lee was the person who had
gaiacri some aoturiety by parading about London in the
dress of a Quaker, wearing the tricoloured cockade, and dist
bating the works of %%Viler, Hone, and others of a similar
stature.

Mr. Mioshull auggeeted. if Mr. Squire had no objection to
swear to the facia which ho had stated, he should feel YID
hesitation in causing him to he detained.
Mr. Squire readily acquiesced, and Mr. Mittelsull directed
that be should be ithewo into the (leak's offire, wheat, his de.
position was taken accordingly, and to which he was after-
wards sworn. He was afterward.' left the office, Mr. Moi-
sten!l assuring hien that he should have the earliest isitiona-
tiosi if any thing traospired.
About three o'clock the eccentric Quaker was oh if,
wearing his cockade, to pass up Bow bii eel on the opposite
side of the way, by Limbrick, one of the conductors of
patrol, who immediately reported it to Mr. Minahtill, who
directed that he should be brought in. Limbrick accordingly
went over to him, and accosted hint in the following mag-
net

" I believe, Sir, 1 took a letter for you to the Magistrate
yesterday?"
Quaker—" Did you ?-1 don't recollect you."
Ltmbrick—" Do yon recollect sending one, Sir ?"
Quaker—fatter some hesitation)—" Yes, 1 do."
Limbrick—" The Magistrate has directed me fro acquaint
you that he wishes to speak to you."
Qsaker—(extending his right erns, and thrusting his face
quite close to that of the officer)—" I wall attend bias were
be ten limes a. Magistrate. Lead ou !"
Liesbrick obeyed the injunction, and the ()lnker follow-
ing, he conducted him to the room appropriated fur private
exam liatious, and he there delivered to Limbrick • similar
caricature to the one be bad sent enclosed to Mr. Miashell
ou the preceding day, and •Iso a book, retitled " The Spirit
of Despotism." He was thee informed by Mr. Mansholt that

peat to, and to whose care be would be coafided; bet that
I. the mean time he should be supplied with every eater-
wireee. He expressed great indoguetion, alleging that his
brother bad no right to exercise such power, tied that force
should only comps I him to submit.
Ale. Squire attended at seven o'clock in the evening, and
bin brother was delivered into ins rare; at his request the
patrol was ordered to remain with him during the nizlit, as
he wished to commit with his friends as to the future disposal
of his brother.
