THE COURT CIRCULAR.

His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Duke of GLOUCES-
TER, and the Earl of ERROL, arrived at his Palace in Sr.
James's, about twenty minutes before ten o'clock yesterday
morning, from hi; residence in Bushy-park.
At ten o'clock the firing of a double Royal Salute
nounced the commencement of the ceremony of proclaim-I
ing his Majesty King WILLIAM the Fourth. Sir GEORGE
NAYLER, King of Arms, with the Earls and Pursuivants,
in their robes of office, and eight Officers of Arms on
horseback, bearing massive silver maces, were in atbnid.l
ance in the Court-yard, at the west end of the Palace.'
A detachment of the. Life Guards were drawn up opposite
to the Palace. The public were admitted into this Court-
yard to witness the ceremony.
A few minutes after ten o'clock the window of the Pre-
sence Chamber was thrown open, and the KING came for-
ward alone, habited in a suit of mourning, and wearing the
riband of the Order of the Garter. His MAJESTY bowed
gracefully three times to the numerous assemblage in the
court below, by whom he was greeted with the loudest
acclamations.

. A hand of fifteen trumpets, who appeared in their
splendid state dresses, immediately struck up " God save
the. King." All the assemblage uncovered on the appear-
ance of his MAJESTY. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, the
Duke of SUSSEX, the Duke of GLOUCESTER,- Prince LEO-
POLD, the Cabinet Ministers, and the Great Officers of
State, formed themselves into a semi-circle round the win-
dow at which his MAJESTY appeared.
Sir GEORGE NAYLER, as King of Arms, from his sta-
tion in the Court-yard, exactly underneath the window
where the KING stood, then read the Proclamation, an-
nouncing the decease of the late KING, and the accession
of his present MAJEsTr. Sir GEORGE was more than
once interrnpted by the cheering of the multitude. Sir
GEORGE repeated the words "King WILLIAM the Fourth"
in an exalted tone of voice, and the .acclamations were
then redoubled. The band then played " God save the
King." His MAJESTY, who bad been agitated during
the reading of the Proclamation, bowed repeatedly and
then retired. The Procession moved from the Palace.
His MAJESTY then held a Court, which was attended
by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON,
Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Viscount
Miami.; Lord ELLENBOROUCH, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir

The Duke of NORFOLK, having previously taken the
oaths of Allegiance prescribed by the Act of Parliament
for persons professing the Roman Catholic Faith, was in-
troduced, sworn in a Privy Councillor, and took his seat
at the Board.

An Order in Council was then agreed upon, directing
the Duke of NORFOLK, as Earl Alarshal of England, to
issue an order for all classes of his AlAszsTY's subjects to

homage before the KING on being translated to the See of
Exeter. Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Bishop of CifICHES-1
TER assisted at the ceremony.

The Earl of CHESTERFIELD and Colonel ARMSTRONG
were the Lord and Groom in waiting.
His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Duke of GLoucas-
rEn, the Earl of ERROL, and attended by Sir H. TAYLOR,
left town at a quarter past five o'clock, escorted by a party
if Lancers, on his return to Bushy-park.
Sir H. TAYLOR has been appointed by his MAJESTY
Secretary to the Privy Purse.

A Cabinet Council was held on Sunday afternoon at
lf-past three o'clock, which was attended by the LORD

THURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN ; Viscount MELVILLE,
Lord ELLINHOROUGH, Sir ROBERT PEEL, SIC GEORGE
MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr.

The Council remained three hours in deliberation.

The Ministers re-assembled at night at the residence of
Sir ROBERT PEEL in Privy Gardens, and continued two
lhours in deliberation.

After attending the KING'S Court yesterday, the whole,
of the Members of the Cabinet adjourned to the residence
if Sir ROBERT PEEL, and continued assembling till four
o'clock in the afternoon.

Circulars were yesterday issued from the Lords of the
Privy Council, addressed to the High Sheriffs of the dif-
ferent Counties in England and Wales, announcing the,
death of his late MAJESTY, and the accession of the pre-
sent KING, and requiring them to cause King WILLIAM
the Fourth to be proclaimed in all places within their
jurisdiction. In the absence of the High Sheriff, the
Under Sheriff is required to execute this order.
The utmost regularity was preserved yesterday among
'he numerous assemblage who witnessed the Proclamation
vE his MAJESTY, owing to the exertion of a large body of
police, under the direction of Messrs. TOWNSIIRND and
SAYERS. During the periods that the bulletins of the late
KING'S health were shown, in which it is supposed 400,000
persons made their inquiries at the Palace, no accident or
obstruction of any kind occurred.

AN OFFER OF MARRIAGE,

IN VERSE.

From a Gentleman to a Lady.
Most worthy of estimation,
After long consideration,
And serious meditation•
Of the great reputation
You have in this nation,
I have a strong inclination
To become your relation;
I'm now making preparation
To remove my habitation
To a more convenient situation,
, To you aderation
By more frequent visitation
For the sake of conversation.
If this kind of oblation
Be but worthy your observation,
It will be an obligation
Beyond all moderation;
Believe me, in every station,
Without dissimilation,
From generation to generation.

The Lady's answer.
I received your oration,
With much deliberation,
And some consternation,

At the seeming infatuation
That seized your imagination
When you made such declaration
On so slender a foundation ;
But, on examination,
And some little contemplation,
Suppose it done from ostentation,,
To display your education, •
Or rather multiplication
Of words of the same terminti.
tion,
:Though with great variation,
And diflbrent signification,
Which, without disputation,
May deserve commendation,
And I think imitation

A sufficient gratification.

THE LATE KING.

(From a Morning Paper.)

His late Majesty, we understand, previously to
his decease, expressed a wish that his remains [bight
be interred beneath his own private chapel, now in
progress, should it be found consistent with the
ceremonies necessary to be observed on a Royal
demise. It is well known that on a former melan-
choly occasion he had expressed a similar wish with
respect to the funeral of the Princess Charlotte
but we conclude that now, as then, it is found im-'
possible to conduct the Royal obsequies in such a
manner as to meet at once the personal wishes of
the late King, and to observe those demonstrations,
of respect due to the Sovereign of the British empire.'

(From a Weekly Paper.)

On the death of the late Duke of Cumberland,
George IV., then Prince of Wales, was elected
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons,
and in that character his Royal Highness presided
at the subsequent anniversary dinner, consisting of
the members of all the inaugurated lodges of
Masons in London, The meeting was held at
Freemasorrs"favern, and nearly five hundred,
persons were present. On this occasion the Prince,
exhibited, in various speeches, powers of eloquence,,
which astonished and electrified the audience; and
whilst he expatiated upon the character and virtues
of his recently deceased uncle and predecessor in,
office, the whole company were in tears. This, wel
believe, was the only great public occasion in which
•the oratorical powers of the Prince of Wales were
exhibited during three or four hours. Lord Moira
occupied a place on the right hand of the Prince,
who appointed him Deputy Grand Master, which,
by the death of the Duke of Manchester, had be-
come vacant.

The late Charles Dibdin, in his "Musical Tour,'
relates the following anecdote of the Prince o 1

Wales :

" By his Royal Highness's gracious appointment. I had

the great honour to sing to his Royal Highness at the
house of a friend, twenty songs, all of which received
perfect approbation. The Prince remained two hours,
even though Marchesi had, during the interval, made his
first appearance at the King's Theatre. His Royal High-
ness, upon my singing the ' High Mettled Racer,' in-
formed the company that he had fortunately, about a fort-
night before, rescued a poor old half-blind race-horse from,
the galling shaft of a hackney post chaise."
In early life the Prince of Wales and the present
Earl Grey were suitors for the favours of the
Duchess of Devonshire, mother- of the present
Duke, after an understood separation from her hus-
band (who had under his protection Lady Elizabeth
Foster, the late Duchess.) Earl Grey succeeded,
and the Prince was ousted. The fruits of this con-
nection was a daughter, a very accomplished lady.
During the period when the Drury-lane com-
pany acted at the King's Theatre, the King became
enamoured of Mrs. Crouch, then in the prime of
life; he constantly visited her at Michael Kelly's
Musical Saloon, in Pall-mall, and there lavished his
favours upon her most profusely. He gave her
diamonds to- the amount of 5,0001., and settled!
upon her 1,2001. a year. When the debts of the
Prince were arranged previously to his marriage,
Mrs. Ciouch's annuity was not recognized, as it
was said no valuable consideration bad been given
for it.

The Prince allowed Kelly 1001. a year, or rather
insisted upon his having a free benefit at the Opera-
house annually for the remainder of his life, and on
each of these occasions the King gave Kelly 1001.
In Liquorpond-street lived the once well-known
Leader, the coachmaker, whom the Prince pa-,
tronized, and thus made him, for a considerable)
Period the most fashionable coachmaker in London ;
by which means he accumulated a very handsome
fortune. The Prince, when in town, was frequently
in the habit of going to Leader's shop, sometimes
driving himself in a phaeton and four, and SGMe-•
times driven by an attendant.

The Royal funeral, we understand, will take!
place on the evening of the 13th or 14th of July ,!
the two days on which the body is to lie in state;
are not yet fixed. The whole arrangements are tol
be on precisely the same scale as at the obsequies
of King George 111.
It is gratifying to us to be able to state, uponi
authority on which we can rely, that although cir-
cumstances rendered an interview unadvisable be-
tween his late Majesty and some of the branches of.
his family, yet that a most complete and cordial
reconciliation of any differences which may have ex-
isted took place previous to the Royal demise.—
Morning Paper.
The name of Adelaide is not new in the list ofj
Queens of England. The second wife of Henry I.
was Adelaide, a Princess of Louvain. The clol:.heri'
of King' Stephen, daughter of William the don-
lqueror, was Adela, which is, in fact, the same name.l

ceremony performed.
It was said that the Marquis Conyngham had
yesterday returned to the Castle. The general opi:
nion yesterday was, that the lying in state will take
,place in a more spacious place than on former occa-
sions in Windsor Castle: some persons say in St.
,George's Chapel. Various drawings were yesterday
transmitted to town, suggesting alterations in this
respect, for the decision of the King. It was
thought the Duke of Cumberland would have au-
thority to give the necessary directions last night,
respecting this part of the arrangements.
The people of Windsor are extremely anxious to
ascertain whether his Majesty will take up his abode
in their castle. It is said to be contrary to etiquette
for the Monarch to reside in Windsor Castle for a
year after the decease of his predecessor: this is.
probably an error. It is usual for the new Monarch,
soon after the funeral, to attend in the Castle,
and receive the keys from the Constable arid other'
high officers who have charge of its precincts.—
His late Majesty, upon receiving the keys
from the Earl of Harrington, immediately re-
turned them, with a flattering address, to that
Noble Earl : it is not thought that the Marquis
Conyngham will have them replaced in his Lord-
ship's custody. The late King, after performing
the ceremony of receiving and returning the keys,
left the Castle, and slept at Frogmore. That he
idid not return for more than twelve months, was, in
all likelihood, more attributable to the arrangements
then impending for the extensive repairs of the
Castle, which are still unfinished, than to any prin-i
ciple of etiquette. The Yeomen of the Guard, anti
other persons whose presence is required in the ar-
rangements for the funeral, are all, for the first time,
,now lodged in Windsor Castle, instead of the inns
of the town. It is said that this is done to restrict,
as far as is consistent with the occasion, the waste-
ful expense which had been formerly incurred by the
accommodation without doors. Since the above
was written, we are informed the funeral will take
place this day fortnight. The Marquis Conyngham
did arrive at Windsor late last night.

DOVER, JUNE 27.—0 n the news reaching this
place last night, of the death of our late revered
Monarch, the bells of the two churches were tolled,
and this morning the Royal Standard was displayed
upon the keep of the Castle, the Redoubt, and on
board his Majesty's packets, half-mast; the Union
Jack and other ensigns were hoisted in similar man.'
ner at the various public departments, and on board
the whole of the shipping in the harbour; and the'
shutters of the inhabitants have very generally been
half closed. Although it was publicly known that'
his late Majesty for some months past was in a very
precarious-state, and his demise might be expected)
almost daily, yet it appears as only a short time;
since when we saw him in the plenitude of health'
and strength, on the pier head of this town, giving
the first cheer to the departure of the late King of
France, who was sailing down the harbour to as-
sume the Crown of his kingdom. His Majesty,
who was then Regent, appeared full of vigour, and
a very long life was anticipated. Alas ! the grim
tyrant makes no distinction, but levels all. His
present Majesty, who is one of the free Barons of
this ancient and loyal town, wherein he resided so
many months, will be proclaimed here, it is ex-
pected, to•morrow. The name of William the
Fourth was substituted in the prayers at both
(churches to-day. Littlewood and two other mes-
'sengers have crossed the Channel to-day, no doubt
with despatches, and the Extraordinary Gazelle of
,the death of his late Majesty.

The following extract from the Recollections, LS-c,

of John Nicholls, Esq. M.P., (a book, by the way,
full of curious and authentic matter), expla'ns a pas-
sage or two in the life of the late King more fully
than we remember to have seen them stated else-
where :

" The Prince of Wales is now become our Sovereign
posterity will appreciate his merits. I will however men
tion one or two circumstances in which be has been unfor.

tunate. The King was very happy in the choice of Bishop
Markham and Mr. Cyrill Jackson, as the Prince's precep-
'tor and sob-preceptor. I believe, also, that the Earl of
lloldernesse was a very proper man for the office of gover-
nor to the Prince. 111 health made it necessary for the
Earl of Holdernelse to go abroad. On his return, sickli-
_ _

ness had probably rendered him peevish. lie complained

of the ascendancy which Mr. Jackson had obtained over
the mind of the young Prince. Bishop Markham vindi-
lcated his assistant; and the King availed himself of the dis-
union to dismiss them all. I consider the removal of Mr.
Jackson as a national calamity. I knew him well. He was
a man of a master mind, eminently qualified to educate a
,young Prince. After he had quitted the office of sub•pre-
' ceptor to the Prince of Wales he took orders, was made
Dean of Christ Church, and dwindled into the character of
a schoolmaster. Those who have onlyknown him while Dean
of Christ Church will form a very inadequate idea of the'
powers of his mind. The Prince was in his 15th year when'
(the Earl of Holdernesse, Bishop Markham, and Mr. Jack-

son, wrre removed from about his person. If the King
could have replaced them even with men better qua-
lified, they would most probably not have possessed the

same means of guiding the Prince as were possessed by
those who had the care of him from his earliest years.
. But the men who succeeded were wholly unequal to the
charge, and the Prince's education was terminated. The
Princess Dowager of Wales had kept the King nut of
society. The pretence was the preservation of his morals.
The King seems to have had the same ideas respecting the
Prince of Wales, not recollecting that, as his preceptors
were removed, the remaining part of his education must
depend on his companions.
" There was another circumstance in the King's con-
duct towards the Prince, equally unfortunate. When his
Royal Highness came of age, an establishment was assigned
to him far beyond what could be supported by the very
moderate income which was allowed him. This occa.:
sioned him to contract debts;, and when it became neces•
sary that those debts should be discharged, very little care
was shown to protect the Prince's character from disgrace.
The courtiers were every where active in contrasting the
regularity of the King's life with the indiscretions of the
Prince. O❑ the establishment of the Prince's household.
every man must have seen that an expense was created
which his income would not be able to discharge.
Parental affection, and the political solicitude which the
Monarch in possession ought to have for the character
iof his immediate successor, should both have attracted
the King's attention. There was another circumstance
lalso, which ought not to have been overlooked. Tim
Duchy of Cornwall was the 'Prince's property from the
hour of his birth. When he came of age, the Prince was
put in possession of the revenues of this Duchy. But the
Prince obtained no part of that revenue which had been
received from the Duchy during his minority. A different

;treatment was shown to the Duke of York. When he
came of age, the whole revenue received from the Bishopric
of Osnaburg, during his minority, was paid over to him.
There was another circumstance respecting tip! Duchy of
Cornwall, by which a still greater injury was done to the
Prince of Wales. The King procured an Act of Parlia-
ment to be passed, authorizing him to grant leases of the
Prince's lands in Cornwall for 99 years, determinable upon
lives; for these leases the King received fines during the
Prince's minority to the amount, I believe, of about
250,0001. 'What a difference would it have made to the
Prince if, when he came of age, estates in possession had
been delivered up to him, instead of reversions expectant
on leases for 99 years, with small rents reserved, Even this
sum of 250,0001. received by the King for the leases which
be had granted, though obviously an inadequate compen-
sation, was not paid over to the Prince. It may be said,
perhaps, that the King received this power from Parlia-
ment. I admit
_it: but the Parliament had no right to
!grant this power. It was a gross breach of faith by the
guardian of the Prince's estates. lam justified in saying,
that the Parliament is as much the guardian of the Prinee'a
!estates, as it is of the demesnes of the Crown. I am justified
in saying this by the conduct of the House of Commons in
the reign of Henry IV. Richard 11. had granted away
many of the estates of the Duchy of Cornwall. The House
of Commons took notice of this, and sent up a Bill to tbe •
_ .

'House of Lords, requesting their concurrence in a Bill fo.;
the restoration of these lands to Prince Henry, afrc,rwards
King under the name of Henry V. The House of Lordt
refused to concur ; but though they refused to concur with

... .
the Commons in the Bill, the House of Lords addressed
the King, to direct the law-officers of the Crown to com-
mence suits against the possessors of these lands on holaalf
of the Prince : the address was complied with; and the
lands w. re recovered for the Prince. In the suit subse-
iquebtly instituted, in the reign of James 1., by his son'
Prince Henry, for la4ds, part of the Duchy of Cornwall.)
which had bean improvidently granted away by Qtlc.;,lli
Elisabeth, though the proceedings were only in 4 court of
,law, the same doctrine seems to have been adopted—viz.
that the estates of the Prince of \Vies were as much under
the protection of Parlia-4:oent as thenes of the Crows.
I am aware that it will be said, the Prince of Wales after-.
!wards received a compensation fir his rights. le brought,
la suit against the King, by petition, and in 1803 received
;220,0001. for compromising his claim—a sum shamefully
(inadequate. 144 what would have been the different situa-1
7tinn of the Prince, if ho had received even this suns in'
1783, when he came of age, instead of receiving it inl
11803 ? In mentioning the subject, one can scarcely red
Ifrain from contrasting the conduct of Edward 111. with t4istl
!of George 111. When Edward the Third:4 W.II was littlel
more than eleven years of age, he gavo him an hereditary
estate in the Duchy of coruWidi, with the immediate pot-
. ,
hses6:, 3i of a its revenues. He at the same time invested
:hits; for his life in the Principality of Wales, and the ir.'4arl-
. ..
dom of Chester, with the immediate rasF.;,4ion of their re-
vennes. The reason i+,-,,i4--ned ii, odr laW-books for this
conduct is, beause the King's son coruscat patris radiis.
Edward 111. saw with pleasure the attention of his sub-

lects attracted towards his eon and future fttecessor.—
.IPrtrm sentiments prevented George 111. from feeling
ithis delight."

DEATH OF THE KING.—The occurrence of
this melancholy event, which took place at Windsor, at t:
quarter past three on Saturday morning, was confidently
spoken of here about one o'clock the same day, a Seem
Edition of the Morning Herald, despatched by one of th
coaches, having been seen by several persons ; but th
Chelmsford coach, which left London at ten o'clock th
same morning, brought no confirmation ; on the contrary,
several respectable passengers spoke of the report as un
worthy of credit. The statement of the demise of the
KING, notwithstanding, gained confidence, and about six
o'clock the same afternoon an express reached, us from
The Sun Evening paper office, with several copies of that
journal, containing the London Gazette Extraordinary,
which placed the question beyond all doubt. The window,
of the shops, as well as those of private persons, were
shortly after partly closed, and every mark of respect du.
to the zuemory of the deceased Monarch was manifested b)
the inhabitants generally. The church hell tolled a mournful
peal, and regret was depicted upon every countenance.—
Essex Herald.

Mr. R. STRONG has just published a Genea-
logical Chart of the Kings of England, which, as a sultiee
for reference, is very valuable, and as a work displaying
taste and elegance in the execution no less deserving 01
praise. The geuealoa commences at a period of Englial.
history as far remote as the reign of EGIUIRT, and is -ea,
ried down to the times of GKoaeE W. As it is not anti!
the Norman dynasty, during the sway of the f:
.8t
that England puts forth any claims to a fixed and definit,
form of Government, we think AT;.. ST&ON€ might fairly
have omitted the genealogies -o.f the Heptarchy Monarch;;
and commenced with *.tiat of WILLIAM the Conqueror.
However, be has exeatted his task thoroughly, and in an
active spirit 6r research.

gTHE NEW OFFICIAL KALENDAR.—The
1
great success of Mr. Bunsx's "Peerage and Baronetage,'
has, it seems, induced him to construct an " Offici,il
• Kalender" on the same luminous plan, by means of which,
at a single glance, any one may inform himself of all
the necessary particulars regarding every office and public ,---‘
- function in the kingdom ; such, for example, as the pre-- :{x
sent sent state of the Royal Family even to its remotest con- 4
nexions (including accounts of all the other Royal Farai..
lies of Europe) ; the Cabinet Ministers, and Colonial
„,,'
Governors; lists of both Houses of Parliament, anal of thc -r,
places represented by the Members of the Commons; real- "r
(knees in town and country of Peers and Members of th
Lower House ; public institutions of all kinds, political. ...
religious, judicial, chinitable, literary, scientific, &c. with 7.-.
the enumeration of the individuate officially attached to
diem ; the general materig! of the whole arrey and navy, 04
' specifying regiments and ships, commanding officers, &c. fl
with the rates or pay and pension ; a personal index, ex- . 4.,

IA very elegant piece of plate has been pre-
IRente4 to Captain badmslllostcsAK, R.N. by the Officer,
of the Whitby Coast Guard District, in grateful testimony
of his kind and gentlemanly conduct towards them, as their
, Commanding Officer in that district. In acknowledgin-
!the compliment pa7d him, Captain limy:lAN observed,
Itbn,t the line of conduct which had elicited so very ;otter-
'lng a mark of approval from Isis brother officers* was n'o.
thing more than what was strictly due to tbeir own high
character, and consequently excellent discipline of the men
under their command.—Porismo.47s 2leraLc&

DUBLIN THEATII.V.:,,,TII4 public opinion
on the present offerlsise engagement of Lady LExxox and
Mr. Wool), hr.#, beer) most emphatically expmsed by lei.v-
ing tho?, I;l.lpry benches to play to. The speculation of
coi4ilikg their discreditable notoriety will, therefore, prove,
as it ought, a failure. Mr. Pow.ita has been added to
the "combined attracii.m." ilia individual attraction
will doubtless be ii.jured by the combination. On his last
visit he was highly popular, and left Dublin in increasing
ft\:our, and should he not prolong his present stay till
after the departure of Lady Les cox and Mr. WOOD,.
many of our lair countrywomen, who would have wit.-
nessed Ilia performances with delight, will regret the m
eesslty they feel of refraining from visiting the theatre,—
