THE
DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CLARENCE.

DOVER, SEPTEMBER 21.

ll4f-past Six, p.m—The Royal Sovereign yacht,
bearing the Royal Standard, has just hove in right
with their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of CLARENCE and suite, but the vessel
is too fir off for them to laud before post time.
The Governor's apartments at the Castle, have
been fitted up with a great deal of 'mane.. for the
reception of the Royal guests, mid it is expected
they will make some considerable slay there. The
military are just marching to the beach, as a guard
of honour, and the guns at the Castle and
are manned, in order to salute their Royal High-
tirsses on their arrival.

The greater part of their Royal Highness's dn.
mestics arrived here • few days ago, from their
bottle in the St•ble.yard, St. James's, where they
had been for some days iii readiness to receive their
Royal Highnesses.

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMANT.

The Lord Mayor yesterday made a third attempt
to hold a Court of Aldermen—it wis as fruitless as
the former. Before the appointed time his Lord.
ship appeared at Guildhall, and waited under evi-
dent feelings of anxiety, until near half-past two
o'clock, hoping, vainly hoping to collect toge-
ther. the rrquil,ite number of Aldermen to rum-
bla•ltirn to hold a Court. But 'although ever* en-
gine was put in motion—though messengers fled
like r_vrinved Memories" through all parts of the
City,. ,with complimesa., or entreaties, or corn.
mauds, to the different Aldermen to attend—yet
all-would not d•--asts,l-thisirtfprudent and abortive
attempt ended like the former. " in vexation, dis-
appointment, and remorse."

At half-past two The Lord Mayor left Guildhall.
As lie entered his carriage he was assailed by the
hisses. the hooting% and Scornful-laughter of the
populace, which annoyed his Lordship :tube passed
through the street, and were • only abated when
Alderman Waithman made his *appearance. He
was received•with the loudest cheers, and every other
mark of popular. respect and affection.

CORONNNB INQUEST.

On Monday last, a very sespectable-looking female, about
forty years of age, was fouled wu the side of the Thames, be.
tween the Redwine end Battersea-bridge, on the Surrey side
of the river. She bad on a black chip bonnet, a blue gown,
end stuff petticoat. Yesterday an f °quest was held nu ,her
body, bY C. Jenunett, Esq. at the Redhouse, when the land-
lord of it stated, that a female, seemingly of great respecta-
bility, answering the description, was seen utairdering about
the'Thames side, near his house, a few days ago, apparently
hart in her intellects, saying she had two children at Ports-
mouth. sad bad lost her hemband at sea, and that she had
had a fit near the water-side a week ago, and as soon as she
recovered, she left that neighbourhood. The Jury not see-
ing further statements, rel armed a verdict of—Food Dewa-
rd. The &ironer desired.the body V.be kept at the :work-
house (Where it iiisw lies) as long as pastible, it ,order to see

!METING OF Till RADICAL.''{.-A, Meeting of
Dr. Watson, Thisttewood, 'Preston, and the Coun-
cil of Five Hundred, took place on Tuesday, in
a large rodm`in Fleet-street, for the. two-fold nor-
pose of censuring Mr. Hunt, and" raising tips wind''
to pay-the expense of his triumphal entry on Mon-
day week. The Doctor expatiated, on the Orator's
ingratitude, 'and read several doenments to prove
his apostacy ; hut could-not obtain the majority to
agree with him in censuring an great a man ; nor was.
he able to obtain, what was still more important to
himself and to his friends—the means of appessiug
the clamorous calls of the stable-keeper who for-
malted the six hays that had the honotir of drawing
the orator to the. Crown arid Anchor. A letter was
sent from the Council to 'Mr. Hunt' on the subject
of the dispute between him and the Doctor, but he
refused to open it, and returned it with disdain!!

clared the winner; when the Judge and every other person
were muck astonished at seeing Agricola, fulloWed by Sir
