IiER LAIR MAJESTY.

[Frump Morrutv's Flampihire Telegraph"]

Friday morning the royal standard on board the
Commander-in-Chief's and at the Ob-
servatory of the Dock-yard, Portsmouth, which on
account of the demise or the Queen had been flying
half-mast high eight dirt, were struck, and the en.
signs, jacks, and pendants on board all the ships
were restored to the usual elevation at the mast.
head. It will he seen by the following letter, re-
ceived from an officer at Harwich, that the Glurgoto,
with the escorting 'quadrat', were ready to sail on
Thursday evening- for Cuxhaven. There were very
few houses in these towns of which the of cupaiita
dill not matilleg some token of regret at her alajes-
I's 'heath. ladeed, the circumstances of her Ma-
jesty.' case—so so gly marked in their character,
and so deeply affixtitig in their nature—and then
her detnar, so uulooked for, must, on the slightest
ruflecttost, produce feelings of awe and sympathy.
%When we recollect that the august deceased was
the daughter of one hero, and the sister of another—.
the mother of a Princess, who (while spared) formed
the delight, the pride, and the hope of the British
iiation—that she was the marked object of our late
venerable Monarch's tender sympathy and affec-
tionate solicitude ; and the illustrious consort, for
six-and-twenty years, of u Sovereign who ratik• first
among the Kings of Euruoe, it would betoken a de-
ficiency of good feeling nut to regard the event with
mournful iiiteocat and regret. Deeply impressive,
also, us such a visitation would have been at any
period, the point of time at which it has occurred
adds greatly to Its soleino interest ; and increases
that serious feeling, which is usually produc,d on
the thinking mend by the unexpected (bath of any
object that has won Its esteem or engsged its atten-
tion. The gorgeous ceremonies, the chivalrous fes-
tivities, and the high carousals of a coronation,
but of yesterday, stall warmed the imagination
of, the public; the sounds of national rejoicing
were itill.v,bralitig in our ear ; and our Monarch,
•surrouuded by "every circutustauce of pump,"
Was on, the seas, pursuing his way to receive the
slrectinnate gratulation' of our sister country, and
to %PAW'S the' hplenclid testimonials of her loyalty
and patriotism;—at this precise moment of elation
and triumph, the Angel of Death lays his cu!d
hand on the Queen, and hurries to the grave the
skah of his victims from the Royal Family of
FAsgland, in the space of little more than three
Amt. years! Softly; en occetvence of such strange
sod rectilitir &alums is full of moral' teaching !

jesty's life. out less than the circumstances attend-

progress from London.
" Tlinrsday Morning.
" The report of the remains of her late Majesty's
approach last evening was erroneous, the procession
got no further than Colchester, where it remained
during the night.

" Thursday, Noon.
" The corpse of the Queen of Englund is em-
barked on board the Pioneer. Lord and Lady
Hood, Lady A. Hamilton, Dr. Luishington, Mr.
Wilde, Mr. Austin, &c. accompanied it mi board.
The day is suited to the occasion—lowering and
hazy. The procession travelled at the rate of about
three miles an hour. The ships proceeded out of
the harbour as before described ; Captain Askewe
of the royal mariiies, commands the guard of hov
nour. The sight was irpprentvely 'interesting. A
line breeze from the weal gave tl►a squadron an
opportunity to proceed out in very regular order;
Captain Doyle, the senior officer, accompanied the
body. Thus has the remains of her Majesty left
Englaud for Cuxhaven, to be carried to the dons'.

Ireland the harvest is stated to he uungually productive.
ARUNDEL. AUGUST lb.—The weather liming been hi-
therto unsettled, very few of our farmers have begun harvest ;
in fact, but little of the wheat hereabouts is at all ready. On
the coast it is much laid, and that so early that the produce •
and quality will stiffer materially. Pease stacking has be-
gun, and the crop promises abundantly. At our market yes-
terday, wheat was in good supply for the season, sad sold,
as in quality, from 52e. to his. weighing probably 57 to CAI

the petitioning creditor's debt. The Coninn•-
810sters hurl reviewed and reported that the. vett-
honing creditor's debt was good. He was prt-
suedes', however, on a statement of facto, th..t
his . Lordship would consider this decision at
wrung, au.l direct the commission to be superseded.

the bill previous to its arriving a maturity. Mr.
Hart then trod the depositions of the several
persons made before the Comisioemorre. Front
Campbell's deposition it appealed that, on the
17. h of January, Mr. Smith, tbe,solicitor of Mr.
Kent. applied to him to discount two hills of
1,4091. each for him. He (Campbell) mid lie had
not the money, but thought he could get it 'as Mr.
Scales, whose daughter lie wail about to maul. but
RINI was o'4. Of tuwu for • ttw dap. Mr. Smith
@WAWA was of no emergence ; if he (Canitilsell)
Was certain of getting the money ultimately of Mr.
Scales, he (Smith) would. lemunin 1.000/. to dis-
comfit the bill then. and mulct to be paid when Mt„
Scales came to tome. This *if -aimed to, the. bill
was left with Campbell, a,44 IresiMr. Hurt) was
result to contend no other discount ever took place
previous to the hill arriving at maturity. ''he bill
Was tine on the 6th of February. Smith stilted
that he paid over to Mr. Kent 1,0001. on the
5,h, us basiog received it as discount of the bill

and it wt. ll'it until the 76 of February that hr
received a, check on Scale.' limiter, which he writ
to :smith. He lord. linwesero on the 6th. about
teu o'clock in the moi g. presented the bill at
Howard and Gibbs'. and uloimately it was dis-
honoured 11.. d noted. Campbell returned it to
Kent on the 7th, and received back 1,0001., which
he, Campbell, returned to Scales. Under these
cerculastainces Mr. Hart contended that Campbell
never had any interest in the hill previous to ih..
tune ..f striking the docket, and therefore could
hove no good petitionistg creditor's debt.
Mr. MONTAGUE followed on the cone side, sod
contended that the whole transaction was a mere co.
lourable our, intended to put the bill. apparently
out of the control of Kent, and prevent any tip.
plicat ion being made by Howard and Gibbs to have
the bills renewed.
Mr. Rose followed on the same side.

The LOAD Cn MC/MI.OI satil, the mytevial qttel
tion in this cope was. whither • person havinifbilts nt
his hand, as Mr. Kent had, and wishing to get them
discounted, should put theiu into ilieisausls vf a

Mr. FIORNE, in support of the commissmit, con-
tended that this was SO bona fide tr iciactioil, .0t44

pion ought to stand.
His Lordship intimated that he would har'the
case further on Monday.
