THE KING.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 18.—The KING, as usual, attended Di-
vine Seiwice in the Palace Chapel to-day. In immediate attend-
ance upon his Majesty, in the centre compartment of the
Royal Closet, were—the First Lord of the Treasury, the Se-
cretary of State for the .Colonial Department, the Major-Ge-
neral of the Ordnance, the Lord Chamberlain of his Majesty's
Household, and the Lord Steward. In the other compartments

to the right and left were, the Countess of Liverpool, the
Countess and the Ladies Bathurst, Sir Chas. Paget, and the
Royal Equerzies. His 111 ajesty, devoutly attentive to the sacred
duties, never appeared in better health. Nobility, Gentry, and
townsfolk, filled the body of the Chapel. The sermon was preach-
ed by the Dean of Sarum, from the Ist verse of the 4th chapter of
St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians.—" I therefore, the prisoner
of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called."—The discourse involved a beautiful
exposition and defence of the Christian Creed, and its leading
admonition was, that by self-examination we should really
kn

,ow what we are, and what we ought to be, that we might
effectually endeavour to " walk worthy of the vocation where-
with we are called." The Anthem was, " Lord of all *rower and
might," and which embraces all that is impressive, sublime, and
grand in harmony. It is not of recent date, but is, we believe,
by-Mason ; it is a great favourite, we are told, with his Majesty,
and truly, it is every way worthy of the illustrious preference
it obtains. The Sanctus, which preceded the above, was front
the divine compositions of Jomelli ; it was a beautiful introduc-
tion to the other, and the fine chaunt after each Commandment
The service, commenced precisely at mid-day, and concluded at
two o'clock. There is no company at the Palace to-day beyond
the arrivals of last night, and the Royal Suite.

NlAna LORD AMHERST.
rntert • Al, Jur Y 25, 1823.—Yesterday evening a Splendid
tion, alnment Was given in the Banquetting Room by Sir
verno-4,llVlunro to the Right Honourable Lord Amherst Go-
-1.110,a1r "eneral of India. After the Cloth was removed, Sir
*nee as Munro proposed " The health of Lord Amherst and
,r,ss to his Lordship's administration."

taent and manner addressed the Company in terms of which
following affords a very
imperfect sketch :

tration, like those of his predecessors will at once promote the
welfare of India and redound to the honour of our country."
The Hoe. the GovEgNott then gave the healths of Sir
Edmond Stanley and the other Judges of the Supreme
Court.

After which Sir Edmond Stanley rose, and begged leave in
his own name, and that of the other Judges of the Supreme
Court, to return their sincere thanks for the polite notice and
mark of attention which had been just paid to them, by' the
Honourable the Governor, and the gentlemen present, the heavy
duties which he had discharged that day in Court to a late
hour, rendered him unable to express his feelings on the occa-
sion, as fully as we would have wished to have done. He was
happy to observe the general harmony which prevailed at this
Meeting, and among all classes in this settlement. He could
not omit this opportunity of declaring that often as it
had fallen to his lot in the course of his life to be present at
public assemblies, and to hear distinguished characters de-
liver their sentiments, he never was more gratified and pleas.
ed, than he was thatnight by the sentiments delivered by the
Noble Lord, the Governor-General of India—those sentiments
so appropriate to the occasion, ,and expressed in such digni-
fied and handsome terms, he confessed made a deep im-
pression on his mind, as he believed they had done upon
the minds of all who heard them, and he took the liberty of
saying, that he foreboded the most happy and beneficial conse-
quences not only to India, but to the Empire at large, from his -
Lordship's administration. He congratulated this settlement, upon
the event of his Lordship's having done them the honour to
visit it in the course of his voyage, as it afforded them a better
opportunity of judging of his Lordship's high qualities, and
appreciating his value, than they could have been able to do, by
a more distant acquaintance with them.
Sir CHARLES GREY, in returning thinks, observed—
The sentiments, which the Chief Justice has so well ex-
pressed, leave me little more to do than to utter with my
own voice, the thanks which he has given in my name. Yet
upon this occasion of celebrating the first coming amongst
us of the Noble person, whose Government of India may
be said to commence from that time, I must not omit to offer
individually, what we have already off.l.ed collectively the most
sincere and cordial wishes for his success and prosperity in that
Government. I cannot wish him better than that he may re-
alize as much, of what is possible to be done for India, as his
predecessor did; or as he has done, whose acts we have a
nearer opportunity of observing—l mean our own Excellent
Governor. Let me repeat, more distinctly, my thanks for the
honour you have done myself and the other Judges of the Su-
preme Court in drinking our healths.
Sir WILLINGHAM FRANKLIN concurred with the other
Judges in the sentiments they had so ably expressed and
begged leave to return thanks for the honour conferred upon
him.
" The health of Lady AMHERST was then given," after
which the Company proceeded to the Umeer Bagh to attend
her Ladyship's Drawing Room—at which there was a large
and brilliant assemblage.
The Hon. GEORGE STRATTON, Esq. entertained Lord
AMHERST at dinner on Friday last.
The Nautch given by his Highness the NIIIVAB on Wed-
nesday evening to Lord and body-A MHERST, presented a bril-
liant and striking appearance—tne Road from the entrance of
the Grounds to the Palace was illuminated on each side, and
the face of the building was studded with lamps : a large as-
semblage of company was present on the occasion—Supper
was announced soon after nine o'clock, towards the conclusion
of which his Highness The Nuwab proposed as a toast—the
health of Lord and Lady Amherst, and their safe arrival in
Bengal—this toast was repeated to the company by Captain
MacLeane, and drank with three tintes three—His Lordship
then rose, and concluded a short, but energetic address by pro
Posing " the health of his Highness and Family"—the coin
pany afterwards adjourned to witness a grand exhibition o:
fire-works--with which the entertainment concluded.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 9.Bth ult. state,
that Senors SoucaoN and ATI,Lo,t, Members of
the late Spanish Cartes, residing in that garrison,
had been poisoned by a servant who attended
them. The former died in consequence, and the
latter was so dangerously ill as nut to he ex-
pected to recover. The perpetrator of this ne
farious act had escaped.
Letters have been received from Sir WILLIAM
CUttTIS, at Naples, where he arrived on the
28th ult. in good health. At the date of his
communications he was performing quarantine ;
but in consequence of an order for the Weazie

sloop of war to get under weigh for Malta, in
order 'to join a squadron which was understood
to be ordered on a special service in those seas,
the worthy Baronet had souse thoughts of run-

nine down in his yacht to that island.
We have heard that the friends of the Rev. C.
COLTON have lately received letters from that
gentleman, which place his safety beyond doubt.
(Morning. Paper.)
The funeral of the late JOSEPH MARRY ATT,
Esq. M. p., took place at Wimbledon yesterday,
at about noon.
The Committee of Common Council appointed
to consider the state of the coal trade, have re-
so:ved to recommend the appointment of 25 ad-
ditional meters.

A duel was fought on Saturday at Hounslow
ieath, between Messrs. KIRBY and STE`, ENSON,

n consequence of a dispute at the Coursing
Meeting at Stokenhall, on Thursday. Two
shots each were exchanged, in the last of which
Mr. STEVENSON received a ball in his side. Sur-
gical aid was at hand, and the ball was ex-
tracted, and there was no immediate danger.
Me. LAMBTON AND MR. PEMBERTON.—We
have heard from good anthority, that Captain
Burn admits the statement put forth by Capt.
Cochrane and Sir lledworth Williamson to be
correct, and, further, that he (Captain Burn)
did not approve of Mr. Thomas Pemberton's re-
fusal to accept the offer of a meeting, and that
that refusal was contrary to his advice ! This ad-
mission, coming, as it does, from the Gentleman
who acted on his behalf must be perfectly con-
clusive as to Mr. Pemberton's conduct of the latter
part of the affair. With regard to what took place
at the meeting of the Commissioners, where the
dispute originated, a vote of censure immediately
passed by them on Mr. Pemberton, is suffi-
cient evidence of the impropriety of his conduct
on that occasion. We believe the only regret
which has been felt by Mr. Lambton's friends
in the whole transaction is, that he should
ever have thought of so far forgetting his su-
periority in every respect to Mr. Pember-
ton, as to entertain any idea of meeting him
upon equal terms. Ile, however, has been
guided by the advice of the Gentlemen to
whom he referred the business, and although we
are far from blaming them for the opinion they
expressed, we still cannot help thinking they
would have better consulted both his honour and
his interests by putting a decided negative on
his going into the field with such an opponent.—
Mr. Pemberton's character is well known and duly
appreciated in Sunderland and its neighbour-
hood, and we doubt not that the testimony of
his Majesty's officers of excise, and of more than
one of the local Magistrates, before whom he
has bees convicted of offences against the reve-
nue laws, would have afforded ample grounds
for such a determination.—(Durham Chronicle.)
WINDSOR, JAN. 17.—Our Quarter Sessions
were held on Friday, when, to the infinite credit
of the large population of this Borough, not a
singleindictment of any kind was preferred, and
both Juries were dismissed with the congratuia-
tious of the MAYOR.

LINES TO Rossrm,
In Honour of his Arrival in :England.
By MAL GEORGE ALEXANDER MAZZO:NI.

Air—" My Lodging is on the cold ground."
Bid the loud shout •f welcome ascend to the skies;
Hail the son of bright genius and song :
Let warm accents of praise to true merit arise,
And the Muses the welcome prolong !
'Tis the pride of our King and Britannia to wave.
To the Stranger the hand of affection,
The Child of Oppression, and Tyranny's Slave,
On our shores find a Briton's protection.

The chords of true feeling hive vibrated oft,
When touch'd by thy masterly hand,
Their spirit so winning, so powerful and soft,
Fame bore to our dear native land
Be long honour'd thy name, and thy glorious renown,
For thy strains to each heart give relief,
In momenta of sadness, or Misery's frown,
Yes ! they chase away anguish and grief.

Around each gay circle where Woman's smile reigns,
There the manly heart surely must beat,
Then echo aloud all thy fine dulcet strains,
And let Mem'ry these fondly repeat.
Since thy genius and merit united combine,
These the soul dear to feeling shall charm,
And o'er them the bright.sui'Vory will shine,
For thgir spirit can every il'eate`warrn.

On Friday last the freedom of the City of
chichester was prciented to Captaiti Li-On in due form.—lt
was inclosed in a box of oak, being a piece taken from his
Majesty's ship Hecla, . which that intrepid'Officer commanded
in the late voyage under Captain PARRY'S orders. The box
is lined with gold, and ornamented with several handsome and
appropriate devices. In the lid is the following inscription :
Presented Jan. 16, 1824,
By the
MAYOR, ALDERMEN', Alld CITIZENS of CHICHESTER,
To GEORGE FRANCIS LYON, Esq.,
Captain in the Royal Navy,
In Testimony of their admiration
Of the Zeal, Perseverance,
And Spirit of Enterprize
Displayed by him,
In his Travels in Northern Africa,
And in the late Voyage to the Polar Seas
In starch
Of a NORTH-WEST PASSAGE.

ITINERANT Mustcr.ists.—TLlOMAS ECCLES Was
one of those itinerant musicians, perhaps the last of them, who
in winter evenings were used to go about to taverns, and for the
sake of a slender existence expose themselves to the insults.of
those who were not inclined to hear them : there are none of
this class of mendicant artists now remaining, but in the time
of the Usurpation they were so numerous that an ordinance was
made declaring them vagrants. A good judge of music, who
im and
had heard bins play, gives the following account of hperformance.his performance. "It was about the month of November, in
the year 1735,
that I with some friends were met to spend the
evening at a tavern in the city,' when this man, in a mean but
decent garb, was introduced to us by the waiter; immediately
uP°n -opening the door, I heard the twang of one of his strings'
from, under his coat, which was accompanied with the question,
Gentlemen, will you please to hear any music ?' Our curio-
sity, and the modesty of the man's deportment, inclined us to
say yes ; and music he gave us, such as I had never heard be-
fore, nor shall again, uider the same circumstances: with as
fine and delicate a hand as I ever heard, played. the whole
fifth and ninth solo of Corelli, two songs of M. Handel. Del
nzinnßciar, in Otho,and Spero si mio cero bene, in Adr:eftres ; in
iin'geshort,ihliasrp'erformance was such as would command the atten-
tion of the nicest ear, and left us his auditors much at a loss to
guess what it was that constrained him to seek his living in a
way so disreputable. He made no secret of his name; he said he
was the youngest of three brothers, and that. Henry, the middle
one, had been his master, anti was then in the service of the
King of France. We were very little disposed to credit the ac-
count he gave us of his brother's situation in France, but the
collection of solos which were known to have been published by
him at Paris, puts it out of questian." Upon inquiry some
time after, it appeared that he was idle, and given to drinking,
lie lodged in the Butcher-row, near Terable.bar, and was well
known to the musicians of his
disgraced by this practice oftime, who thought,
themselves
his, for which they have a term of
reproach not very intelligible; they call it going a-busking.—
(SomeAset iloase Gazette.)

COMMOD ORE O'BEIE.-This eccentric indi-
vidual, whose miniature vessel emeited so much attention at
Dublin and Leith, at the period of his MAJESTY'S visit to
Ireland and Scotland, is now at Brighton, having, although
a cripple, walked from Windsor to tat place. Our readers
are aware that about three weeks ago the Commodore, in
going up the Thames, was capsized in a sudden squall,
and
lost, together with his boat, his clothes and his little all, with
difficulty saying. his own life.. Finding himself in this dis-
tressed state, he immediately determined on going to Brighton,
with the hope of causing, through Sir Etimuern NAct,v,
a representation of his misfortune to be laid before the
KING. On his arrival there the Commodore waited upon
Sir EDMUND, by whom he was introduced to the Marquis
of CON YNGHAM, and the subject was then mentioned to his
MAJESTY, who with his usual kindness, ordered another tee- '
sel to be built for the Commodore, as well as a new suit of
clothes to be made for him. The last vessel, it will be remember-
ed, was also given him by the KING, and was called in
honour of this circumstance, the Royal Gift, which will, we
understand, be the name of the present one. It is now build-
ing at Brighton, by Mr. Pocoex, and the dimensions will be
5A ft. in length, by 2ft. gin. beam, being six inches longer than
the last. It will be completed in about a fortnight or three
weeks, and the Commodore will then exhibit his nautical skill
off' Brighton ; he also intends to make a voyage in his boat to
France, having the courage, even at this season of the year, to
cross the Channel in so frail a bark.

THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET.—Mr. FAR-
REND it is said, has been engaged by Mr. Moen's
for next season. He could not have added a
greater favourite, nor a more effective actor to
his list.

It is said that Mr. Er.Lrs•Tox has offered Ma-
dame CATALAN! two thousand guineas for thirty
nights.

The Comet is disappearing rapidly, but is now
visible in the evening with a clear horizon, in
N.N.W.

The Funds have risen within these few days
to a much higher rate than they have reached for
a great number of years ; and, in spite of war-
like rumours, the confidence of the Bulls con-
tinues undiminished, and they make large pur-
chases, fully relying that the Three per Cents.
will be shortly above par. Large purchases, we
understand, are also daily made in the New Lot-
tery, part of the Scheme being composed of
3 per Cent., and the Contractors have so ar-
ranged that all the great rise will belong to the
Purchasers. The Scheme contains Seven Prizes
of ze 2'0,000. Every body is anxious to make
purchases before the First Day (the 19th Feb.),
when the Two First Prizes will have, in addition,
13 20,000 Money each, and when between Seven
and Eight Thousand Tickets will be drawn, and
all will be Prizes, as may be seen by a reference
to the Scheme. The Offices of J. nod J. SITE-
WRIGHT, the Contractors, are the favowrite Marts
for Adventurers.
