THE KING.

[From the Morning Papers.]
MILFORD, SEPT. 10.—The Royal squadron is
still in the harbour, and his MAJESTY has not
yet appeared upon deck, but he is fast recover-
ing from the fatigues experienced in the Channel.
Boats and yachts are sailing constantly round
the Royal George, in which his Majesty came
from Ireland, and thousands line the shore in
momentary hope of s9me communication as to
the King's landing. The probability of his land-
ing is very great, as the wind continues to blow
strong at S.W., and there is every prospect of
unfavourable weather. A slight gale would not
indeed deter the King from proceeding by sea,
for he is no fresh-water sailor ; but after the ter-
rible gale which the Royal squadron experienced
in its passage Ireland on Saturday night, it
would be very inconsiderate to put to sea again
unless a thorough change in the weather should
take place. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants
is at its height : and such was the joy felt at the
arrival of the King, that there was a general
illumination- yesterday notwithstanding its being
Sunday..
[ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.]—The Royal
squadron, which put into this capacious port yes-
terday, and which is still at anchor, consists of
the Royal George, on board of which is his Ma-
jesty; the Royal Sovereign yacht ;. the Liffey and
Active frigates ; the Hind, Wolf, and Cameleon,
sloops of war ; two cutter yachts ; and the Dwarf
and Skylkrk cruisers. The squadron left Dub-
lin on Friday afternoon, with the intention of
proceeding direct to Portsmouth. At starting they
were nearly becalmed, but a fresh breeze sprung,
up, and they went gaily onwards until Saturday
night, when a strong gale began to blow, which in-
creased to such an extent, that it was deemed
prudent, to run into Milford,. and there remain,
until the gale should have subsided. Notwith-
standing the fatigue of the voyage, the general
health of his Majesty is described as very good
indeed; but he has not escaped sea sickness en-
tirely. Soon after the entrance of the Squadron,
-there was a meeting of the principal inhabitants
of the Borough of Haverfordwest, to take into
consideration the propriety of voting an address
of congratulation on his safe arrival at Milford ;
and, notwithstanding the shortness of the notice,
a very affectionate and loyal Address was drawn
up, and a Deputation appointed to present it.
The Deputation consisted of William Henry
S courfield, 'Esq. Member of Parliament for Haver-
fordwest • his Worship the Mayor, and others
of the Corporation. On arriving at the 'Royal
George with the Address, the Gentlemen were
most politely received ; but at the same time,
were informed that his Majesty was reposing
after the fatigues of the voyage, and therefore
they could not disturb him. It was understood,
however, that as soon as his Majesty should ap-
, pear publicly on deck,- he would receive the
loyal and affectionate-respects of the inhabitants
of the Borough,"-as conveyed in the Address for-
warded by 'the Deputation. Sir John Owen,
Bart. our respected County " M ember, with
several gentlemen of respectability, has: also been
on board to pay his respects to our beloved
Sovereign; but I have been. with Lord
Graves, his Majesty's Lord of the Bed-
chamber, who has very •tondescendingly
favoured, me with some —information. respect-
ing the visit of the Gentlemen ; by which I
find that his Majesty could not, at the time, have
the pleasure of 'receiving'-them. 'His Lordship
also informed me that his Majesty was not on
deck during the day, and therefore received none
of the, numerous and respectable visitors from the
shore who were anxious to behold him. There
is-not, however, the least doubt entertained of
his Majesty's gracious intention to receive the
congratulations of his people as soon as he is
able.—The Hind revenue cruiser was dispatched
for Holyhead as soon as the Royal squadron
anchored.

PEMBROKE, SEPT. W.—Yesterday the town of
Milford exhibited a scene of the greatest gaiety
and confusion, which were caused by the arrival,
about noon, of the Royal squadron, accompanied
by the Emerald and Sabrina yachts, belonging to
the Marquess of Anglesea. The Royal George,
of course the object of attraction, was surrounded
by vessels and boats of, every description, full of
spectators, all anxious for a sight of our beloved
Sovereign, whom, I am concerned to say, con-
tinues so indisposed from sea sickness, occasioned
by the heavy gales experienced on Saturday
night, as not to be able to appear on deck. Alre
understand orders were immediately sent on
shore, for horses to be in readiness to convey his
Majesty by land from hence ; but these orders
were in the evening countermanded. In the
afternoon great crowds of people continued to
pour in from all parts of the country ; and a ge-
neral illumination, in honour of his Majesty's ar-
rival, took place in the evening.
Monday, Ten o'Clock, P. M.—lt now blows
hard at West, with every probability of a con-
tinuance, which may perhaps induce his 'Ma-
jesty to carry his first intention into effect, of
proceeding by land to the metropolis.
PEMBROKE, Sunday, Sept. 9.—1 hasten to in-
form you of the arrival in this haven of our most
gracious Sovereign, King George the Fourth, on
board his beautiful yacht the Royal George, ac-
companied by the Royal Sovereign yacht, the
'Active and Liffey frigates, Hind corvette, Wolf
sloop of war, Sabrina and Emerald private
yachts, and some Revenue cruisers., which joined
the Royal squadron on the passage. The squa-
dron left Dunleary on Friday at two A.M., and,
after a most rough and boisterous passage,- came
safe into this haven about 11 o'clock this fore-

noon. You may form some idea of the gale
which the Royal squadron encountered, from
this circumstance, that the forecastles of the two
frigates were completely under water, from the
pressure of canvas they were obliged to carry,
in order to keep up with the Royal George,
which has proved itself to be a most complete
sea-boat.--The Lee corvette, and Cameleon.brig
of war parted company on the passage. Milford
is partially illuminated this evening, and, no
doubt, will be generally so to-morrow. Ills
Majesty has not been seen on deck the whole of
this day, although a vast number of boats were
plying round the yacht, filled with all the beauty
and fashion of the neighbourhood.
Monday Afternoon.—The squadron are still at
anchor, and the wind appears quite changeable ;
should it shift to, the N.N.W. bordering on that
point, the fleet will, no doubt, immediately pro-
ceed round land.

BRIGHTON, Scrr.ll.—,-The gratifying rumour
that the KING purposes landing here, is still kept
afloat, but, we fear, not destined to be realized.
Should, howeVer, the landing be effected else-
where, we believe there is very little doubt that
his MAJESTY will be at the Pavilion in the
course of the week ensuing. Sir IVIATTnEw and
Lady TIERNEY will be here in a day or two.

[FROM THE KEHTISH GAZETTE, SEPT. 11.1
PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE.
cc my Sons, all party fling aside,
" When to listening Senate ardent crowd
" Britannia's Sons
" With bold description and with manly voice,
'"
Then let your cause be heard." Tito msom.

BROTHER FARMERS—I congratulate you on the spiritedmanner in which a respectable body of Agriculturists, in the
neighbourhood of Dover, have come forward with 'a determina-
tion of laying before the Legislature, their just claims to that pro-
tection which Can alone Save us from destruction. In order to alle-
viate the distresses pervading all classes, it will be necessary to
place Agriculture on a rock—it is strange that protection should
be denied, and thought unfit and impracticable for Agricul-
lure, the greatest of all our manufactures, under which all
our other manufactures have arisen to the highest possible
prosperity. Our cause is just, as it tends to the welfare of
the whole community; but on our own perseverance and
exertions we must depend for success—our petitions must
shew our minds.—Brother. Fanners, believe not those who
would persuade you your petitions are useless, and that the
manufacturers can out-number you ; let them come for Ward, if
they are so blinded to their own interest, with their thousands
and ten thousands. I doubt much whether now, or at any
former period, petitions equal in weight and respectability with
those of the Agriculturists, ever came before the House of
Commons ; every man who has signed, .or will sign those pe-
titions, .is to be- fonnd at his own home. And what is the
prayer of the Farmers' petition ? It is justice for themselves,
and prosperity to their country—it is to be allowed the_same
protection' for themselVes, as manufacturers of corn, meat,
wool, and flax, as the clothier has for his broad cloth, the
hatter for his hats, and the mercer for his silks. In asking
a remunerating price for our produce, we feel ourselves not
only the advocates of the Agricultural labourer and mechanic,
but more particularly of the whole community. For what
greater evil could happen, than for this country, this once happy
England ! who, with efficient protection to her Agriculture,
could feed all her. people, for want of that protection, to become
dependant on foreigners for her daily bread ? Never did a
Noble Lord mistake the true interest of his country More, than
he charged-the Farmers with imprudence for bringing land into
cultivation, which must now go out again. Thus then is the
farmer treated by the hands which ought to encourage and up-
hold him, after having expended his capital in endeavouring,
and in many cases succeeding, in making two blades of corn
grow where only one grew before ; after having, by the most dili-
gent industry, increased the productiVe resources of his country,
it is flung in his teeth that he has acted imprudently, and must
abiddthe consequences ; his imprudence has certainly benefited
the State, though the individuals may have received none them-
selves. , Let the Noble Lord reflect a minute, and take the
case in another point of view, and he will find, had the farmers
been protected in their own markets from foreign competition,
with corn brought here untithed and untaxed, when the Noble
Lord and his Colleagues turned loose upon the country to seek
their bread, not only the disbanded army and navy, but num-
bers from the over-glutted manufactories—had they then been
allowed a remunerating price for their produce, Agriculture
would have supplied work and wages for all willing to work,
cheap bread for all her population, markets to her manufac-
turer, and trade to the merchant. Lose not a minute, Brother
Farmers, in preparing your petitions,—and by the numbers and
respectability of- your signatures, let the House oe Commons
and.the country see you are in earnest—obtain efficient protec-
tion for Agriculture, or
" in one gulph of total ruin, honour, virtue,
" peace, friends, families, and fortunes, headlong sink." -
I am, Brother Farmers, yours,
Sept. 6, 1821. AGRI COLA.

FIRE IN PRINCE'S-STREET, SOHO-SQUARE.—
Yesterday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock,
the firemen and labourers employed digging in the
ruips of Mr. MYERS'S house, discovered-the body
of Mr. MYERS, jug. whose remains bore a
most horrid spectacle. He is 22 years of age.
His body was carried to the Three Crowns,
Richmond-street, for a Coroner's Inquest.
DREADFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.—An Inquest was
held on Monday in the Board-room of the Mid-
dlesex Hospital, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq.
Coroner, on the body of John Petot, aged
22 years, who came by his death under the fol-
lowing dreadful circumstances :—The evidence
went to prove that the deceased was a single
man, and resided in Princes-street, near the spot
where the late fire took place ; he lodged on the
third floor; and latterly was observed to be very
unwell ; he was afflicted with an extraordinary
complaint—imagining that he saw forms in the
air, which he would catch at, and in finding him-
self deceived would fly into a rage; he was fre-
quently observed doing this, and on Saturday
last whilst he was in his apartment he imagined
that he saw something flying in the air, and pro-
ceeding to the window he was observed by some
persons in the street endeavouring to catch at
what he thought he saw, but in consequence of
over-reaching himself he was precipitated from
the third floor window into the street head fore-
most, with great violence. He was picked up
in a horrid condition, weltering in blood, and
carried to the hospital, where he died of the in-
juries he received. The Jury returned a ver-
dict—" That the Deceased came to his death
by accidentally falling from a three pair of stairs
window."

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY.

FOURTEENTH DAY, SEPT. 12.

At half past eleven o'clock the Jury re-assem-
bled at the Hop-pole Tavern, Edgeware-road,
for the purpose of considering their verdict iii
this case. The Gentlemen of the'Press were ex-
cluded from the room while the Jurors' consider-
ed their verdict.

The CORONER arrived about twenty minutes
before twelve o'cloal and took his seat. ,The
names of the Jurymen were then called over by
the Beadle.

The FOREMAN of the Jury congratulated
Coroner, and also his brother Jurors,- that they
had now arrived almost at the conclrkion of their
labours. They had heard, in his °pluton, ail
evidence necessary to enable them to come to a
just decision on this important issue, the investi-
gation of which had- taken up such.a large por-
tion of their time. He (the Foreman) then sug-
gested to the Coroner the. propriety of his with-
drawing from the Jury-room, while they agreed
upon their 'verdict.'
The CORONER had no objection to 'withdraw ;
he had delivered his judgment upon the case at.
cording to the factS sworn to in the evidence given
by the most respectable and unimpeachable tes-
timony ; they,(the Jurors) woUldi.hoWever, give
credit to that evidence which they thought most
worthy of belief. He left the case in their
hands, and when they,l►ad agreed upon a verdict,
they would send for him. The Coroner then
withdrew to the Hyde Park Hotel.
