CADIZ EXPEDITION.—=tithe present state of this
armament is thus reported in a letter of the 29th
of August :—" There are now ready, tour sail ,of
the line, six frigates, six sloops of war, about 30
bombards and gun-vessels, and 100 sail of trans-
ports, which are positively to leave this on the
15th of September. These are to form the first
division of the expedition. A second will follow
in about 15 days aljerwards."
IMPROVED STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.-"II
is with much pleasure we state, on the authority
of a Leeds Paper, that a sensible improvement
has taken place within the last few (lays, in the
woollen trade of that place.. Considerable num-
bers of the hitherto distressed croppers have got
into employment. This favourable alteration is
felt principally in the shawl and pelisse depart-
ment, and is confined to the home. market. The
stuff trade is also gradually improving. Forty-
six of the principal Manufacturers in the wool-
len stuff line, who attend the Bradford Market,
have, under the influence of .an -enlightened
policy, published an Address to their Fellow
Merchants and Manufacturers, stating, that they
have agreed to bring up time wages of the ope-
ratives to the old regular standard, and call-
ing upon other masters, as an act of justice,
to do the same. That nothing should be want-
ed to give weight to this important docu-
ment, several of the principal Merchants who
attend the same market as the purchasers
of the goods, have given it the sanction.
of their 'signatures, and have strongly recom-
mended that these Resolutions should be gene-
rally adopted with the least possible delay.
On Thursday last the Election of a Member of
Parliament for the County of Kinross, in the
room of the late THOMAS GRAHAM, Esq. of Kin-
ross, took place at the County Town. The Can-
didates were Colonel GEORGE EDWARD GRAHAM,
nephew of the late Member, and Captain ADAM,
of the Royal Navy, when the former was declared
duly elected, the votes being ten for Colonel
GRAHAM, and eight for Captain ADAM.
%Ye are sorry to learn, that the very precarious
state of Mrs. H. SIDDONS' health compels her to
try what benefit may arise (roam change of air.
She left Edinburgh this morning, mm a visit to the
Vest Country.—"(Edialiurgh Courant.)

THE EARL OF COVENTRY'S DINNER,

FURTHER YAHTICULALII.

(From " The Worcester Herald," Sept. Is.)
The dinner given by the Earl of Coy N TRY, at
Crootnei to the Mayor atvd Corporal ion of this
City, and the neighbouring Gentry, on Tuesday,
was the most splendid that can possibly he ima-
gined. With his worsted attention to the M'agis-
tracy of this City, We Noble Earl sent his c -
riage and six, to convey the Heads of the Corpo-
rate Body to his mansion ; and on their arrival,
the different Members were received by his Lard-
ship and Lady Coventry, Lord Deerloirst, and the
other branches of this Noble Family, with that
courtesy and marked regard whjelt, let them be
extended to whatever description of persons they
may, can never fail to inspire esteem and udinira-
tion.—Ao elegant dejetine was prepared for the
company, after which parties were formed on the
water, and in the extensive and beautiful gardens
and grounds, the gates of which were thrown
open upon the occasion, and at the bolo. ()I five
the guests were,,.suramoned to the hospitable
board, which literally groaned under evety luxury
which this and other countries can produce. The
wines, in flavour and variety, were such as per-
haps have never been excelled, and ti.e dessert Was
Magnificent in the extreme. It will be needless to
repeat the toasts and sentiments given on this oc-
casion—they were as numerous as Lord Coventry's
hospitality bas always made them, and as loyal,
patriotic, and independent, as the house of Croome
has always been famed for circulating. If we
were not circumscribed in our account by the want
of room, we should derive great pleasure in re-
cording the brilliant efftisiOns'ot patriotism, sen-
timent, .wit; and classical acumen, which were
elicited from Lords Coventry and Deerhurst, and
many other Gentlemen present; but we should
be inexcusable, if we omitted to mention some of
the observations of Lord Deerhnrst, on his health
being drank. His Lordship's speech, in return,
was not only au acknowledgment of tlymks, but
he took advantage of the occasion to glance at the
state of politics, and the present situation of the
country. With a frankness and fervour peculiar
to himself, his Lordship went over his political
career, elucidated the complection of patties,
again avowed , his attachment to the King and
Constitution, as by law established, and declared
his political independence would always be mani-
fested, as it ever bad been, uns.Vayed by any
party adherence ; and that in his Parliamentary
votes he would be mindful only of the general in-
terests of the country. In adverting to the late
cotnmotious at Manchester, his Lordship was
proud to Say,- that amidst the tumultuous proceed-
ings lately exhibited in a neighbouring county,
the inhabitants of this district had pi eserved their
loyalty and attachment unimpaired ; and it was a
source of real gratification to him, as one of the
Representatives of this ancient city, that none of
his constituents could be found to join a mis-
guided rabble in the dangerous doctrines they
espoused respecting unlimited Reform, but that
on the contrary, they bad firmly adhered
to the motto which had been . given them
by their King, in testimony of their loyalty
" civitas in lteliJ in pace fidelis."

Those who wished so ardently for Reform woult
do well to consider, that tumult and an open de-
fiance of the laws, are not the means by which that
end can he accomplished. Other topics his Lord-
ship touched upon, which we regret our inability
to narrate—but they were of that constitutional
tendency which his Lordship has ever fearlessly
maintained, and which has contributed to render
him so popular amidst the diversified opinions of
his numerous constituents. The Gentlemen,
whose (maths were drank, severally addressed the
company, some of them at considerable length
The evening was vilivened by many excellent
glees, songs, &c. from several amateurs and gen-
tlemen of the profession, and the company sepa-
rated at a late hour, highly delighted with the
hospitality, affability, and courtesy so strikingly
evinced to them by every individivil of he noble
house of. Ciontne.
