FAVALTEI must allow that he, is remarkable
for the modest simplicity of his manners, as well
as for the eminence of his talents, and the high
merit of his various productions. If Sir WALTER
was conspicuous for exertion and activity, during
the Royal visit, it would be inferred by every liberal
mind that he quitted the general modesty and diffi-
dence of his personal character, because the chief
persons of Scotland, proud of his genius, and
observing the distinction with which he was
noticed by his MAJESTY, were anxious that their
favourite Poet should be prominent on an occa-
sion so interesting as the presence of their Sove-
reign. It may, therefore, we say, be inferred
that the worthy Baronet was urged by the
laudable national pride of his countrymen to
take a conspicuous part on the occasion.—
Besides, is it not probable that, as the KING
must doubtless have read the various pro-
ductions of the Scottish Bard, his MAJESTY
was himself desirous of manifesting his sense
of the pleasure which those productions
afforded him, and felt additional pleasure in
marking his admiration-of the author? Such are
the deductions which every generous and en-
lightened mind would draw from the natural pro--

minence of oar SCOTT, on au occasion
so interesting to his Country as the visit of the
Sovereign of the greatest intellectual Empire on
Earth. Scotland was delighted that her great
modern. Poet should enjoy a distinction suitable
to his talents and his fame ; and his MAJ ESTY
was gratified in the opportunity of sheaving, sur-
rounded as he was by Nobility, and greeted by
the universal acclamations of a loyal People,
that he was desirous to mark his sense of GENIUS
by the most condescending affability and kind-
ness, demonstrating at once taste, judgment,
and gracious condescension.

Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, his Royal
Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town in
his travelling carriage and four on a visit to the
Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagshot.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of
the KING yesterday.
We have already mentioned that there are
now three Marchionesses of LONDONDERRY, al-
though the creation of the title is so new as 1816.
it is further remarkable, that there were lately
three contemporaneous Countesses of BUCIIING
uAltsxrac, all relatives of the Marchioness of
LONDONDERRY, lately Lady CASTLEREAGH, one
of whom was her Ladyship's mother.
We are sorry to learn the indisposition of the
Duke of WELLINGTON. His Grace has been
confined to his bed for two days. He got up,
however, on Thursday afternoon, and it is un-
derstood that he was considerably better pester-
day.—plorning Chronicle.)

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 4.-Mr. CANNING left Sea-
forth House, this morning, for Staffordshire.
About one hundred gentlemen waited for him at
Low-hill, and about sixty equestrians proceeded
about four miles on the London-road, and then
took leave of a man, whose abilities and urbanity
of manner have endeared him to all his consti-
tuents. Whatever may be Mr. CANNING'S future
destination, he bears with him the warmest wishes
for his health and prosperity.—The new ship
New York is now off this port from New York;
she sailed 16th August, but there has not been
any communication with her. Our readers,
we doubt not, are generally aware, that when
Mr. CANNING was invited to the dinner which
was, given to him on Friday last, a sum, exceed.
log one thousand guineas, was subscribed by his
friends for the purpose of purchasing a piece of
plate, which they intended to present to him on
that occasion, in testimony of the high sense
which they entertained of the many and impor-
tant services which he has rendered to this town
and to the empire at large. Owing, however, to
the unavoidable delay inseparable from the exe-
cution of the artist's design, which, we under-
stand, are particularly characteristic, some fur-
ther time is necessary to enable Messrs.RtrsnELL
and Co. to complete the work in their best
manner,

CRELMSFORD, SEPT. 6.—On Sunday evening,
last I.lst inst.). a. sermon was preached on the
deathof the late Marquis of LoNnorinEaftr, by
the. Rev. Jour HUNT, the newly appointed In-
dependent Minister of this town. The subject
was confessedly delicate, and the announcement
of it excited great attention, but it was treated
in a. manner which gave universal satisfaction.,
The text.was taken from the 9th,ehapter of Jere-
miah, the 23d and part of the 24th verses—='
" Thus said' the Lord, let not the wise man
, glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty
man. glory in his irught,
; let not' the rich
man glory in his riches, but let him that
glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and
.knoweth me that I am the Lord which exercise
loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in
the earth." The object of the preacher seemed
to be to shew the inadequacy of the most brit.
liant attainments, to preserve us from the cala,
mities incident to humanity, and the necessity-of
.the knowledge of GOD to supply the deficiencies
of all human science. Ile avoided (and Nre
think very properly) touching on party politics,
while he bore the most ample testimony to the
splendid talents and private virtues of the Noble
Lord.—(Chelmsford Chronicle.)
ECONOMY IN MANAGING TnE POOR RATES.---,
The parish of Minster, in the Isle of Sheppy, which includes
'the populous town' of Sheerness, have recently adopted the
plan of having a permanent Overseer, by whose active exer-
tions, together with the low prices of provisions the claims
upon the parish funds have been less by £1230 100. during
the last year than the preceding one, clearly demonstrating the
benefit resulting from a spirited individual giving undivided at-
tention to the management of the poor.
Miss WILSON and Mr. Holm will return next
week to London after a veq lucrative tour. Miss W. has, we
understand, netted upwards of 4,0001., and has played the
