THE KING.

We have very great pleasure in laying before
our Readers the following Letter, dated .
" Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 13th Aug.

" HIS MAJESTY, no doubt, will be up at Leith this after-
noon by 2 or 3 o'clock—the Royal Sovereign and accompanying
vessels having passed Tynemouth Castle about 10 o'clock last
night, with a fine westerly breeze. With a view to clear the
small islands to the northward, the fleet kept a large offing from
this part of the coast—say ten or twelve miles. I state this on
the authority of different ship-captains, who have come in this
morning. His Majesty, it appears, reached Scarborough, in
good health and spirits, yesterday about 3 P. M. His yacht
lay to an hour, during which period he was greeted with a
Royal salute from the batteries, the cliff and all the neighbour-
ing coast being covered with an immense concourse of people,
eager to testify. their joy that his Majesty had got so far safe on
his voyage. The day before yesterday, (i. e. Sunday), immense
numbers of persons went down to Tynemouth from this town
and neighbouirhood, in expectation of getting a sight of the
Royal squadron on its passage north. Amongst the curious,
even, were the Judges of Assize, (the' Lord Chief-Justice, Sir
C. Abbott and Sir George Wood), who went down by water in
the Mayor's barge in the afternoon. The fleet of small craft
that appeared in the offing was altogether an astonishing sight;

there could not be less than from 3 to 480 boats—coroPrising
steam-packets, pleasure-boats, coal.keels, &c. &c., bearing f33g3'
and ornamented in a variety of ways. Had his Majesty en'
countered this flotilla, the sight would doubtless have Po'
most cheering to his feelings ; nor could he well have cot°.
plated a finer symbol of his ancient and loyal town of Nev:
castle than what was presented in a GOOD KEEL ! Thoge
what we are speaking of took place on Sunday, the sari= s:.s3
was continued the whole of yesterday, (Monday), the sea-Y-10
being literally lined with people the whole day. In tie /tft:r°f..
noon the Mayor, the Sheriff, and several friends, saileci3Ot
Shields harbour to the southward, in the fine police-boat, b'
longing to the Corporation; but unlyckily the pleasure Was,,
°'
nied them of greeting our beloved Sovereign on the waters.

We have not the, slightest doubt that the re'
ported death of the Duke of WELLINGTON 15 116;
thing legs than a wicked fabrication, calculate'
to harrass the feelings of the Noble Dul'es
Friends,—to increase the painful excitement °f
the Public mind, occasioned by the recent de-
plorable catastrophe at North Cray,—and, Per:
haps, (we shudder at the bare supposition of such
atrocity), for the purpose of inducing the c°'
mission of that very act, which the rumour Pre"
tended had been already accomplished. °°'
Readers, of course, recollect, that an injuri°°
rumour, respecting the Illustrious Duke al:,1
young NEY, was fabricated about twelve rnauth
since, and greedily seized and dilated ul:3°
a portion of the public Press, until it was cOry
tradicted by a letter from the Duke of WEI-1'156'
TON himself, addressed to. the Editor of the
Paper in which. the mis-statement had first made
its appearance. Who can it be that thus Purl

The LATE MA RQVIS of LONDPNDEIPI,Y

LritON THE? MORNING •
• ;
" North Cray, WebiesdaY Night.
" List night, after the Coroner and his Jury had retired,
the corpse—which had 'remained untOuched on the floor of
the dressing-room, exactly as it had fallen from the arms of
Dr. Bankhead—was removed by the undertaker and. his as-
sistants, and, having been deposited in a shell, it was placed
on tressels, in the study, on the ground floor. Shortly
afterwards, Dr. Banlthead left for his house in town. Mr.
Dykes, the King's Messenger, arrived, about nine o'clkk,
from the Foreign Office ; and, • soon after eleven, he set
forward on his journey to Vienna, with dispatches for Lord
Stewart, from Lord Clanwilliam and Mr. Planta, the late
Marquis's Secretaries, who still remain here. In the course of
the evening, Lady Emma Edgcumbe took her leave of the af-
flicted Marchioness, and returned to town. The Marchioness
still remains inconsolable, and continues to seclude her-
self from all society (ecept that •of her sister, Lady Suf-
field), in the bedchamber adjoining the fatal dressing-room,
mentioned in evidence before the Coroner. . She even de-
clines hitherto, seeing Lord *Ellenborough, who arrived
post this morning from the Isle of Wight ; which place
his Lordship left the instant he received intelligence of
the Marquis's death, and travelled night and day till he reached
here. No time or place has yet been mentioned with respect
to the Funeral, nor is it certain whether the -ceremony of
lying •in state will be complied with. It was his Lordship's
wish, we believe, to be interred in the little Church of North
Cray. The late Lady Ellenborough, - his sister, was interred
there ; =id when the vault for the reception of her remains
was about to be made, Lord Ellenborough gave directions
that it should be made large enough for two coffins; but the
late Marquis requested that it might be made sufficiently ca-
pacious to receive par—anticipating, no doubt, that it should
some day, or other become the ,d_epdsitary of himself and the
.Marchioness; and it isthe almost. general opinion here that this
implied wish will be attended to. Some areof opinion that his re-
mains will be conveyed to Mount Stewart, in the county of Derry,
and entombed with those of his father ; and others affirm that
they will be deposited in Westminster Abbey : but it is certain
that no decisive arrangement will be made until his Majesty's
pleasure is known. It has been officially communicated to the
household of the late Marquis, that he has left a will, wherein
he has made provision for every person on his establishment;
even to the lowest helper in his stables : a circumstance per-
fectly in unison with the whole tenour of his private life."

The report of the Marquis of Londonderry's death having
been caused by the gout was not altogether unfounded. Dur-
ing the last fortnight or three weeks of .the-late Session of Par-
liamerit, his' Lordship laboured. under slight attacks of this
complaint.' When he felt the first symptoms of it, 'he greatly
apprehended that, if not speedily , repressed, the disease
might so increase as to preve,nt his attendance in the House
of Comnions, thereby causing a delay of public business, a
still further protraction of the Session, with consequent in-
convenience to his Majesty in visiting Scotland, and to
himself in attending the approaching Congress. In order
to prevent these disagreeable results, his Lordship's physi-
cian prescribed some medicines for him, with the view of
lowering his system, and thereby keeping down the gout.
The medicines had the desired effect ; but in reducing his
Lordship's bodily habit, they nnfortunately also brought
on a depression of spirits, which an overloaded and per-
plexed mind but too readily yielded to. In this manner a
low nervous fever was induced, which the excitement pro-
duced by the prorogation of Parliament for the moment
counteracted ; but when that excitement subsided, the ner-
vous affection rapidly increased, and on Friday last had
made considerable inroads on physical and mental powers
naturally of great strength. So much was the Marquis of
Londonderry's frame shaken on that day, that the official
documents, which he wrote and subscribed while in town,
were scarcely legible to those, for years daily accustomed to
his band-writing. The letters were straggling, and evidently
traced by a tremulous enfeebled pen, which made the ins.
nuscript appear to be that of a decrepit worn-out old man ;
whereas his Lordship's writing was usually remarkable for
its neatness. With the further progress and triumph of the
disease the public are but too well acquainted. With re-
spect to the -Marquis of Londonderry's habits of business in
. his own peculiar department, they were unremitting, but ap-
parently not laborious, because they were not bustling—
When in town he generally went to the Foreign Office about
eleven, or half-past eleven, in the forenoon, and remained.
till one or two, or occasionally later, as circumstances might
require. His Lordship's conduct to all persons under him
was so mild, affectionate, and gentlemanly, that, without an
exception, every one connected with the Foreign Depart-
ment feels and deplores his death, as. if it were that of the
kindest parent. Ile laid it down as a principle, and followed
it himself implicitly, that the head of every public office was
bound in duty to protect and advise all persons subordinate
to him. The instances in which his Lordship acted thus are
now fondly but mournfully called to mind by the members
of his department. Advice he freely and constantly gave,
where he thought it was necessary, or would be useful ; and
if it happened that he had occasion to reprove, he performed
that ungracious task so graciously and kindly as to unfail-
ingly reform the individual, to whom, at tile same time, lie
endeared himself. Of the protection which he afforded to
all who served under him, the following authentic instance
will give the public a just notion :—During the whole pe-
riod that our paper money was 'depreciated below gold,
our Consuls and other Representatives in foreign countries
were paid no more by the Treasury than their nominal
salary, allowances, &c., in the •paper currency of the day.
In having those sums remitted to them, the rate of ex-
change was so much against this country that they were fre-
quently great losers, and did not receive in specie more than
a proportion of their just emolument. The Marquis of Lon-
donderry often remonstrated with the Treasury upon the
hardship of the case, but was always met on this
i ground,
that if compensation were allowed for those losses, t would
be an admision that Bank of England notes were depre-
ciated, in contradiction to the official declarations of Minis-
ters. The Treasury also warned the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts against such claims, and, in short, effectually resisted
them so far as it was possible. His Lordship, however,' was
determined that his official agents should not suffer, and accord-
ingly made good their deficiencies out of the secret service
money granted him by Parliament. The manner in which the.
Marquis of Londonderry's private affairs were conducted, par-
ticularly when they had any reference to the public, is equally
creditable to him. All the small expenses of his household
were regularly settled and paid weekly, while those of
.greater
consequence, though allowed to run for sometime longer,
were all discharged at stated periods, and with the utmost
satisfaction. It is universally known that his Lordship, was
the kindest and most indulgent master which servants could
have. He was at the same time scrupulously careful that their
wants and comforts should be supplied solely at his cost, and
with this view, while he positively prohibited them from using
a pen or a sheet of paper which he officially received, he gave
them unlimited credit at his private stationer's , for whatever
articles of that sort they might need. The Marquis of Lon-
donderry was certainly in all personal pecuniary transactions
most generous] and high-minded. Before his father's death,
his private fortune .was necessarily slender, the patrimonial
estate being comparatively small, and his father's family nu-
merous. But this was no bar to his Lordship's liberality.
the conclusion of the war, his brother, now elevated to
the Marquisate, was, among several other distinguished of-
ficers, raised to the Peerage, by the title of Lord Stewart;
a pension of 2,0001. per annum being allowed to those
creations and their successors •for the two next generations.
Lord Castlereagh (as he then was) would not permit his
brother to accept any part of the pension, but in lieu of it
settled 2,0001. a-year upon him out of his own private in-
come ! This fact would be tarnished by any attempt to em-
blazon it. It is also worth remarking, that although the.
Marquis of Londonderry's means were, until last year, more
straitened than those of any of his colleagues in office, the
head of the Foreign Department is necessarily under greater
expences than any other Minister. He, alone, has to keep
a sort of Court for all the Ambassadors from Foreign
Powers in . this country ; and while he frequently invites
them to official dinners, to maintain the dignity and rank of
the nation in the sumptuousness of those entertainments.—
The Marquis of Londonderry has always done this, and we
need not add, that his amiable and now distracted Marchioness
nobly co-operated in supporting the splendour of their esta-
blishments, as leader of the haut ton ; but alas ! of all this gran-
deur, there is not, we may say, in the twinkling of an eye, a
wreck left behind. The inconvenience and disarrangement of
public business which the Marquis of Londonderry's death ha's
created, is very considerable. It is the etiquette of the Cabinet,
that in the absence 'of one Secretary of State, his duty is
performed by sonic other Secretary of State. Thus last year,
during the King's visit to Ireland, Lord Bathurst acted for
both Lord Sidmouth and the Marquis of Londonderry, and
it was arranged before Mr. Peel lately left town for Scot-
land, that during his absence the Marquis of Londonderry
should officiate for him. This his Lordship accordingly did,
even when he was last in town on Friday, but as he is now
unfortunately no more, and Lord Bathurst out of town, the
business of •the three departments is for the time suspended.
The inconvenience thus arising must be particularly felt with
regard to dispatches from Ireland which are daily addressed by
the Lord Lieutenant to the Secretary of State for the Horde
Department? and cannot be answered except by a Secretary of
State,

' • KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND
(Tram the Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 12.)
In anticipation of his Majesty's arrival this day, all the
troops, cavalry and infantry, Are under orders, at a.rnoment's
notice, to proceed to Leith. One of his Majesty's carriages,
with four horses, arrived here this morning from Dalkeith. We
understand that his Majesty has been graciously pleased

:o become Patron to the Caledonian Hunt. The Ear:

of Errol, as Lord High Constable of Scotland, has the charge
of the peace- of the country within four miles of the King's
person; consequently the power and authority of all Magis-
trates cease absolutgly on his Majesty's arrival, and vests

n Lord Errol. His Lordship intends to grant a commission,
o the
.Magistfates, Justices, &c. to authorise then to pre-
serve the peace in the same way as if he were not,present.---
Several Highland Chiefs have arrived, and are attended by
their followers, dressed in the national costume. Extraor-
dinary meetings of the Commission of the General Assem-
bly, and of the &Icier). in Scotland for propagating Chris-
tian kno,,viedge,
,were held on Friday, when addresses were
voted to, the King on his visit to.. Scotland. Nearly the
whole of the royal. burglis "have voted loyal- addresses to be
presented to his Arajesty at his first levee after his arrival.-
-As. it is desirable: 'that our fair country-women should ap-
pear ih all their ilative charms, would it not be advisable that
they should; "appear adorned entirely in Scotch gents, which
would ,be a novel sight to his Majesty, whose eyesintist haVe
been long tired wit the customary court costume of oriental
diamonds and pearls.—This morning an immense crowd of
People was collected on the Castlehill' to witness the ceremony
of conveying the crown to the Palace of Holyrood. A great
number, got upon the scaffolding that is now precting, and
which not being finished, that on the north side gave way,
by. which ' many persons were very severely bruised. --
A number of military tents have been pitched• on the Castle-
hill and on Salisbury Craigs, which give a very fine appearance
to these hills. The number of travelling equipages which have
arrived during the last week have been very numerous, and all the
public conveyances to the city have been heavily laden with
passengers. At this time the city presents a most animating
and busy prospect. The great influx of company since Saturday
crowded the principal streets yesterday to Such a degree, that
they .appeared at a distance as a solid mass of people. The whole
of the immense crowd were well dressed, and displayed in some
part of their dress the peculiar colours Which, by compact, have i
been made emblematical of the joyous feelings with which
his Majesty's visit will be welcomed. We learn from Dunbar,
that a royal salute is to be fired from the guns in the Fort, on
his Majesty's paSsing the harbour; and as several pieces of
cannon are likewise to be fired, and a bonfire lighted, at Ge-
neral Leslie's camp on Doon hill, in the neighbourhood of that
town, we shall thereby have early and certain information of the
time when the fleet may be expected in the Roads.

MRS. EMERY AND HER DISTRESSED FAMILY.
'!'he Committee who have been honoured by
the management of the Benefit and Subscription, for the laud-
able purpose of securing a suitable and permanent provision
for an aged Father and Mother, an amiable and disconsolate
Wife, and seven Children of the late JOHN EMERY, are ex-
ceedingly desirous of making a satisfactory report of their pro-
ceeding►s thus far.

.• _ _ _
The intense interest manifested by all ranks of society to assist
in this
.praiseworthy object, has rendered their task as gratify-
ing as it has been easy, for every day, and almost every hour,
brings succour and relief from every part of the kingdom.
The Benefit has been productive to a degree quite unparal-
leled. The exceeding liberality of the Proprietors of Covent-
garden Theatre, and the efficient and kind aid affbrded by the
Proprietors of the English Opera-house, and Haymarket Thea-
tre, together with the gratuitous aid of so many worthy Mem-
bers of the Profession, have mainly contributed to this glori-
ous result.'

The high sanction and patronage of his Royal Highness the
Duke of YORK (whose name is in itself a tower of strength)
gave alon to the.subscription, in its first stage, which has emi-
nently promoted his own good intentions ; the example has been
promptly followed by a charitable and discerning public; the
Contributions and Benefit exceed 2,0001. This sum, it must be
confessed, is very great; but it will not be difficult to shew
that at present it is inadequate to provide respectably and per-
manently for the whole of the distressed family, and with this
feeling the Committee will continue their pleasing labours
throughout the whole of the present month.
(Signed) 0. H. ROBINS, Chairman.
Committee Room, Theatrical Fund Office,
Bow-street, August 14, 1822.

Fortunate as this country is in almost all its
undertakings, it must be considered as singularly unfortunate in
the sudden manner in which some of its most eminent men have
been snatched away—Pitt and Fox by short illnesses, Perce-
val by the hand of the assassin, and now Lord Londonderry
by his own. Whoever has studied the character of the latter,
will, we are sure, acknowledge that the following remarks of
Flechier, in his funeral oration upon the Chancellor le 7 ellier,
may justly be applied to him :
" Why cannot I exhibit to you the share he had in the glori-
, ous'events of a reign full of extraordinary occurrences ?
Recoi-
lect those famous wars of which he was the director and the
minister—that fortunate peace of which he was the arranger--
those surprising victories and glorious negociations ! Yet, who
ever saw any appearance of vanity in his conduct? From this
basis of moderation proceeded that mildness, and that affability,
so necessary to men in great employments, in which the im-
portunity of men, the severity of labour, and 'I know not what
spirit of domination render the disposition austere and over-
bearing. .He listened with patience—he conferred favour with
goodness, and he refused even with grace. He was at all time
accessible, affable and honest. But what was that mildness
when it was seen in the bosom of his family, and in the circle
of private life ! 'What union with his amiable wife! What
constancy and steadiness of attachment to his friends."
