THE
HIS MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FOR, AND ARRIVAL
ON, THE CONTINENT.
RAIIII9G ATE, StivrtSibtie QS.
The King arrived here at a quarter after eight
elock on Monday evening. An immense eon- •
course of people lira been for some time assembled,
anxiously awaiting Ins arrival, to whom it was mat-
ter of great regret that from the lateness of the hour
they had not an opportunity of steing their beloved
'Sovereign under cireitmrthncet more farottruble fur
the gratAt Ilion of their wishis, and the expression
'of their loysfty Rod ch4otitin.

Every phosible attention loss been paid here to
*receive our beloved King that the shortness
*of the time would permit. The whole line of
street skewed a display of colonist hung across the
road and opposite houses--arches of greet. boughs
were constructed at certain distances, interspersed
with variegated lamps—and last night the whole
town was grandly illuminated.
The first display was at St. Laurance'', abot;t4a
mile distant on she appraiclo to Ramsgate : there
was all arch made across the road, from one side to
the other, of green bough•, interspersed with vs-
negated lamps. The church-yard wall, which forms
one side of the road for some distance, had Astn•
beaux placed on the top; and as his Majesty names)
under the arch the hells of the church struck iso
merry peal. From this place to Sir
Citrus's house was one continued blaze of illomi-
nation ; scarcely a house that was Hot illuminated
from top to bottom, and the greet) triumphal arches
were so numerous that it would be invidious to
particularise them—they might be raid to form on
entire bower, or arcade, fur nearly half s mite in
length ; and, where they were nor, flags were
la►hed together, extending from house to house on
both bides of the way.
The l'ier %Iliad" was truly splendid. it is known
that ships some close to tile edge, and ship• of con-
siderable burden, too; and, from the houses to the
yards of the ships, flags were stretched across,
which hod the most imposing and romantic effect
possible. The ships were illuminated in their masts
end rigging, as well as the opposite houses. The
most conspicuona of the latter were the Albion, or
Royal lintel, every window of which was lighted,
and a superb crown with G. R. in front of the
horse in variegated dimps. Bowler's coacli-ofice also
was one entire body of light. But the widow Cramp's,
the 'loyal Oak, presented a most picturesque
scene., the whole front bring covered with oak
loughs and variegated' lamps. Numerous trot/spa-
verities aim graced the frontb of private houses.
The entrance to the Pier had a brilliant crown,
with G. R. surmounting the gates. Sion-hill,
howling a row of as fine houses ■s any in England,
was illuminated in the moot splendid milliner. The
*attire town, indeed, formed such a blaze of light
Its mast have been seen from Deal, sad perhaps a
greater dietetics..

The whole of the streets were covered with sea-
sand, some tetchy, deep, to give a firmer footing to
the horses, and to allele that uothiug was orglreted
in afh.rding a just tribute of respect to the august
visitor.

Sir IV. Curtis'. yacht, which lay in the basin,
was entirely covered with lamps, and from the
shrouds being illuminated from top to bottom, as
well as the gunwales, the whole, at u diatanee, had
the appearance of an immense illuminated trtangle.
The FG h regiment of infantiy (Aunt 300 of
them) accompanied his Majesty, as well a• a putty
of the 9th lancet's. The l•le of Thanet troop,
commanded by Col. Garnet, were on ditty, and
stationed to receive his Mejtsty at several points be-
tween this place and Sarr.

W hen his Majesty arrived, after dusk, the appear-
ance was most striking on his entering the town,
mud to Cliff [louse, where he arrived about a quarter
past eight, anal partook of an elegant and sump-
tuous dinner. A company of 14 sat down at table
with his Majesty, viz. Marquis of Conyngliam. Earl
of Liverpool, Sir B. Blomelichl, Sir Edward Nagle,
Lord Chief Justice Dallas, Baron Darrow, Sir
Win. Collis, and five of his family. IVe nerd not
add, it was a superb entertainment, and his Mai-
jesty*s affability shone very conspicuous. We caws
not omit a treat of his Nlajesty's kindness and eon-
aideration : Lieutenant I'. Curtis, a nephew of Sir
William, hail the honour of being present, when
his Majesty took out of hie pocket a Commander's
Commission, and presented It to the young genii*.
Mall, Plying That it was a mark of respect tOr his.
uncle Sir William, and hoped that he, Lieutenant
Curti., would long enjoy this and other Samoan
iL his profession.

Four eiimpiiiiies of the BGth regiment came into
'tint ter, n rq..ttlay snorting, to rrinnin only till
,the Kiry Irlt tl.ts 1/liker, and tilt" militia to Cun-
terl)ttry hg..ill

Lori •aUght there was n grand dress ball id the
Ar•rrabfy•rooms h, re, at which were present near
VSO of the nobility iiiid gentry, &c•.
This morning the eunenime or people a•sentblyd
'here w-ere amply compensated for the loss they au•.
tained hist night in not having been gratified oldie
lull turd satirfactory view of his Majesty. His
'Majesty went from Cliff House to the Pier in an
441pe1l burouc•he belonging to Lord Chief invite
Ilisifar.. The cheers and congratulations of• the
immen,e inuftitude assembled in tire streets and
houses as the King 'wired nn were *Mollified and
•:thu•iustic beyond do ipt The

nicked to the gentlemen ileputed to wait upin
his Majesty with the address of the inhabitants
and visitors of Rainsgete, that he would gracious),
condescend to receive it at the Pier House at nine
o'clock this morning. just before he should em-
bark. His Majesty salved at the Pier Mose
about half sf•er ten, when the Deputation hail
the honour of an introdUction to the royal pre-
sence to present their address. and were most gra-
ciously received. Ili. Nisjesty conducted himself
with exceeding condescension and kindness. A copy
of the address loss given in The B►itish Press of
yesterday. Of his Majesty's most gracious answer,
read by himself, the following is the substance
" T receive with great satisfaition the Inyil and dutiful
Address of the luliabilants and Visitors of Ramvate, as well
as the general testimony of attachment and affection flom
all damn of my subjects. lam leaving my dominions for a
short period only, and thank you for your cordial wishes fur
my return. This is sot the first time I have been in this at-
tractive place, awl, I trust, it will not be the last,"

This ceremony being concluded, his Majesty
immed:ately proceeded to embark amidst the en•
thasiastie greetings and acclamations of the many
thousand, of his loyal subjects who witnessed his
departure. It was the most beautiful sight Chit
is possible to he conceived. The sun shone out
at the moment with great brilliancy, rendered the
more striking from the lowering appearance of the
morning for shout an hour before. The harbour
was nearly covered with boats and vessels of every
kind and description, among which were two
or three meant boats, with paasengers, which
accompsnieil his Majesty some distance on his
voyage with intent to return at night. The
royal yacht was anchored a short distance from
the Pier (lead, stud the other vessels destined to
accompany it were around the Royal George
within hail. The boats belonging to the vessels of
the squadron, with the crews gaily dressed, were
waiting on the beach, or rowing near the shore. At
a quarter before eleven his Majesty went on board
the royal yacht boat with his retinue, accompanied
by Sir W. Curtis, whose yacht also proceeds with
the squadron. Upon the King ascending the ves-
sel's side, the royal standard waa run op to the
main-top-gallant-mast with celerity, the whole of
the royal equadron firing a salute, which was an-
swered by the vessels in the Downs.

It is impossible to describe the general feelings at
this moment. The hand of the 86th playing the
national air, &c. The salutes from the different
vessels and guns on shore, added to the lively
huzzss of the immense numbers collected around
it, produced an effect gratifying almost beyond
imsgination. The Eagle and other steam vessels,
and rations boats, &c. tilled with passengers for a
short trip, hollowed the King's boat, and soon
after his Majesty gist nu board the royal yacht
she stood off to sea. His Majesty goes to
Calais from hence, but most probably will sleep
on board his own yacht to-night, in preference to
attempting to laud at Coheir in the evening.

DEAL, SZIPTZVOCII 25.

The Royal George yacht passed through the
Downs at about half-pa•t 14. a. tn. for Calais, in a
most majestic style, with his Majesty on board, fol-
lowed by the rest of the squadron, and a great
her of pleasure boats of all descriptions. The
squadron anchored in Calais roads at half-past three.
DOVER, SEPTEMBER 25.
The importance of Dover, as a place of ern.
barkation for Calais, is this day pot beyond all doubt,
notwithstanding the many false representations that
have been too industriously circulated. It must
well be remembered that when his present Must
Christian Majesty left this country to take ptisio•ssiotts
of the throne of his ancestors, that the Royal Sove-
reign yacht was only two hours and a half in running
from the harbour of Dover to that of Calais ; such
would this day have been the case with our most gra-
cious Sovereign had his Majesty embarked at Dover,
time wind being nearly from the same poiut of the
compass as it was when Laois XVIII. crusted the
Channel, instead of which the pa•auge Irma Italls•
gate has taken up the whole of a day; and the
royal squadron, which should have kept company
with the royal yacht, had only got round Cie
South Foreland at half-past two this afternoon,
being about nine tildes astern of ►he yacht. It ap-
pears clearly that the yacht could not have got so
forward bad it not beets for the assistaisce of a
steam vessel which was its company, and which
vessel must have towed the yacht from Itamagate
through the Downs against tl►e flood ; but even
with the Gond:nice of the steam ve•srl, it is doubted
if the yacht will fetch Calais, and at all events
his Majesty will not be able to land till five or .ix
o'clock this evening, said then be obliged to lead
in u boar, instead of stepping quietly on the quay,
as might have been done from the short passage
from Dover. _ _ _

Sailed from the harbour this mnriiiiire the Lord
Sidwtonth passage vessel, under a pulsar horn the
Height.' battery, with his Excellency Prince Ester-
hozy, the Austrian Ambaiisador; also sailed the
Fielick packet L'Antigone, with passengers—three
wrestle were seen entering Calais limbos'r shout
three hours after they left this port. Sailed this
morning for Boulogne the Dart passage vessel,
with passengers.
Arrived this evening, the Kiag George pocket,
with the Countess Mulike, from Cahn*. Ibis Ex-
cellency Count Moltke, the Rini%li Ambassador,
arrived here this morning from London, to Inert
the Countess out her lauding here.

visit last week to Lord Toss,trdifoN, at 'Votes

prisons; and although ber plulanthrony has often led
her into the abodes of the ',retched, yet she woo
pleased to observe that the county prisons of Kent
surpassed every other, in all that was necessary to
combine comfort with the safe-keeping of the
wretched inmates. Mrs. Fair was accompanied is

it from the scabbard, he suddenly roamed it, and
turning to the Duke of I.Veht.INGTON, who stood
near him, said, " Duke, lend me your weapon,"
His Grace unsheathed the gilt teriou: 1,14.1 e. and
p rloced it in his Soveret.r. 's kind, tr..d with ibis re-
rimmed sword the honour was cooferred.
