It is understood that his MAJESTY has inti-
mated an intention of visiting Woolwich on Friday next,
and should no change be made in the Royal arrangements,
and the KING'S purpose be realized, we hear that he will
go to Woolwich by land, return from thence to Greenwich
by water, and come back from Greenwich to town by land.
His MAJESTY, we believe, intends to leave the Palace of
St. James's at twelve o'clock, and will reach Woolwich
soon after one; so that if the weather is propitious the
Royal visit may be looked forward to with pleasure by the
loyal inhabitants.
PHILOLOGICAL SCHOOL.-The Annual Ex-
amination of this school took place on Monday last at the
School-house, Gloucester-place, New-road, before the
Bishop of Sonoa and MAN, the De in of CHICHESTEEt,
the Governors of the school, and a numerous assemblage
of the friends of the Institution. Toe boys were ex-
amined on religious subjects, history, mathematics, and the
Greek and Latin languages, and received great praise from
the Chairman for the proficiency they had mole in these
several branches of education. At the conclusion, prizes
were delivered to the most deserving boys.

A few days since the man-servant of a family
residing in the Regent's Park, choosing to treat himself to
a cutlet on its way from the parlour to the pantry. it
literally stuck in his throat, causing his alms st instantaneous
death.

May scarcely ever made its appearance under
a more cold and ungenial aspect, though backward Springs
have generally been observed to precede fruitful Autumns.
The good effected by the Society for the Re-
lief of Persons imprisoned fur Small Debts surpasses all that
could be imagined. No fewer than 2,050 persons were
liberated by their means in the course of the last year alone.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENlNG.—Arrived
the Marianne, from Memel. Passed Holyhead, inward-
hound, the Susannah and the Corsair, brigs, and the
smack Margaret. Off the port, two brigs.
Yesterday the new entrance into the Green
Park, through the splendid archway erected a few years
ago, under the direction of Mr. BURTON. the architect,
was opened to the public. It commands a fine view of the
garden front of Buckingham Palace, also the fine and ex-
tensive plantations behind it. The Queen's Barracks are
immediately to be removed, in order to erect servants'
offices to the Palace; Government have also removed the
dead wall in James-street, and given several feet out of
the Park to widen the street.

RIOTS AT WAPPING.—Within the last
two or three days the neighbourhood! of Wapping has been
in a state of great alarm and disorder, in consequence of a
tumultuous assemblage of upwards of 20,000 coal-whippers
congregating in various parts. It appears that the coal-
whippers have hitherto been paid by the publicans at
Wapping, who are principally ship-owners or have slime
share in the vessels, and the men, who earn upon an aver-
age two to three pounds per week, spend part of their
wages in drink at the public-houses when they are paid.
To remedy this, a person named OWEN, a solicitor, h
established an office in Wapping for the purpose of paying
those men, and preventing them spending the while of
their earnings beforehand with the publicans; in conse-
quence of which a number of whippers were called toge-
ther and signed a:paper to work only from the office, which
is termed the Equitable Office. Monday being the first
day for carrying those regulations with effect, a very
hostile feeling was shown by the men belonging
to the new office against those of the old club, who
belonged to the puiilicans, and even on Sunday sever al
skirmishes took place, to the great alarm of the inhabitants
but it was soon quelled by the police. On Monday the
same angry feeling was evinced by the two parties, each
party swearing that the other should not work on board
the colliers. Mr. SMITH, the superintendant of the
division, and about four hundred of the police from diffe-
rent divisions, were stationed, as early as five o'clock in the
morning, at the different stairs, and as the coal-whippers
assembled and went off to the ships, tl eir presence pre-
vented much disorder. Although very little disturbance
took place on land, yet on board some of the vessels the
old club men were obliged by the new office party to go on
shore, andiin one instance the mate of one of the ships had
a halter put round his neck, and threatened th if he
allowed the old club men to work, that iy would hang
him up. The police were again on duty yesterday, and it was
only try great exertions that the peace of the neighbourhood
could be preserved. By this arrangement of the New
Office, it will prevent the men from spending their money
in liquor, which they ought to take home to their wives
and families.
