MAIDSTONE, Avo. 18.
RIOT AT CANTERBURY.
THE KING V. BUSHELL AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment against John Bushell,
W. Marsh, G. Harris, Richard Brice, Charles
Minott, Thomas Rye, and Thomas Gurney, for
a riot. A second count charged theni with as-
saulting Janies Warren, Esq. Mayor of the City
of Canterlitiry ; and othet counts charged them
with assaulting certain constables in the execu-
tion of their duty ottl the 16th of November last,
at Canterbury..
•
This case excited considerable interest: The
trial lasted from eight in the morning until past
ten at night; and during the whole day the Court
was crowded to excess.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. NoLAN
and Mr. BOLLAND. The defendants were de-
fended separately by Mr. COMMON SERJ CANT,
Mr. ADOLPHUS, Mr. ANDREWS, and Mr. CHITTY.
The following is an outline of the case, as it
appeared from the evidence on both sides :
In consequence of the example set by the Metropolis in No-
vember last of illuminating to celebrate the result of the pro-
ceedings in the House of Lords against her late Majesty Queen
Caroline, a
,Requisition, signed by four Aldermen, several
Common Councilmen, and a great many other respectable in-
habitants of Canterbury, was sent to the Mayor, requesting
him to give public notice to the inhabitants of the City, that
they would be expected to imitate the conduct of the Metropolis
on that memorable occasion, by illutninaiing to celebrate the
defeat of the alleged conspiracy against her Majesty's life and
honour, it being suggested that the sanction of the Chief Ma-
gistrate of the City, for that purpose, would effectually tend to
preserve the public peace. To this requisition the Mayor re-
turned an answer, declining to comply with the wishes of the
requisitionists, and declaring his opinion to be, that if he were
to accede to the request, it would have a different tendency from
that suggested.
The requisitionists, in reply to this, put forth a remonstrance,
stating their reasons why the City of Canterbury ought not to
grew any backwardness in demonstrating their attachment and
reverence for the Queen, in celebrating the termination of an
inquiry which had polluted the land with obscenity and inde-
cency; and acting upon these sentiments, they of their own ac-
cord issued an invitation to the inhabitants to illuminate their
houses in a proper and becoming manner, on Thursday evening,
th' 16th of November.
This produced, on the part of the Mayor, a printed publica-
tion of the requisition which had been sent to him, and the an-''
swer thereto, accompanied by an extract from the Riot Act,
with an intimation that any breach of the peace would be visited
with the severest penalties of the law. On the morning of the
16th, five persons, described as some of the most respectable
inhabitants of the City, waited upon the Mayor, and requested
him to swear in a certain number of special constables for the
preservation of the peace in the evening. The Mayor desired
that this request might be reduced into writing, and signed by
the parties. The magistrate's Clerk was instructed for that
purpose, and he accordingly framed a declaration to be deposed
to on oath. It was signed by the Mayor's brother-in-law, a
journeyman printer, and three other persons of humble condi-
tion. Upon this the Mayor, without summoning his brother
Magistrates, or consulting with them, immediately issued his
precept for swearing in special constables, all of whom were
either of the working class or middling tradesmen. The only
Magistrates who sanctioned this proceeding were two Aldermen
who happened to be present.
At this time there was no symptom of any thing like tumult
or noise in the City. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. An
'order Was then sent to the Colonel Commandant of the troops
to have the soldiers under arms and ready for action, in case
their services should be wanted. At five in the evening the
special constables were all stationed in the immediate vicinity of
the Mayor's house, and a Captain's guard of soldiers was drawn
up near the spot. No symptoms of riot or disturbance as yet
appeared.
About eight in the evening the streets began to be crowded by
persons to witness the illuminations. Shortly after that time a
cart was drawn through the street before the Mayor's door, with
three effigies in it, representing Restelli, Majocchi, and
Louisa Demont, the celebrated witnesses against her late Ma-
jesty. In the cart, which was drawn by one of the defendants,
accompanying the effigies, was a chimney sweeper dressed in
his sable canonicals, with flambeau in one hand, and a stick in
the other, with which he occasionally inflicted some castigation
upon the effigies, to the great delight of the crowd. Be also
appeared now and then to have a book in his hand, from which
he administered spiritual consolation to the culprits. This ex-
hibition was followed by a crowd of about two hundred per-
sons, composed of the tradesmen of the town and their sons.
The crowd announced that their intention was to burn the effi-
gies in front of the Mayor's houSe. As they passed the Mayor's
door a few random stones were flung and broke some of his
windows. Cries of " The Queen for ever !" resounded from
all quarters. Previously to this there had been two or three
windows broken in front of the Mayor's dwelling. The
crowd then passed on with the effigies towards the Guildhall.
On their return; about ten o'clock, just as they got to the
Mayor's door, the special constables, by a signal from a watch-
man's rattle, rushed in a body upon the cart and tore the effigies
in pieces.
This act of aggression roused the indignation of the mob,
which at that time had increased in numbers, and, after driving
away the constables, they commenced a regular attack upon the
Mayor's windows, and broke to the number of 80 panes.
Stones, brickbats, marbles, bullets, penny-pieces, and every
other imaginable missile, were used on the occasion. They
then attempted to force the shutters of the Mayor's shop (in
which he carried on the business of a silversmith), and tried to
get into the house. At this time the Mayor himself made his
appearance, and was immediately recognised by the mob, who
abused him with opprobrious names, hooted and hissed him.
In making his retreat, he was pelted with mud, and was struck
on the back of the neck by a brickbat, which hurt him severely.
A large stone, aimed at his head, fortunately missed him, or
probably the blow would have been fatal. He succeeded in
getting to the Town Hall, and, accompanied by two Aldermen
and the Town Clerk, he returned to the scene of riot. The
soldiers were then called in to clear a passage to the house, and
having entered, the Mayor ordered the Riot Act to be read
from the window of the second floor. The Town Clerk pro-
ceeded to read it, and whilst in the act of doing so, several
stones were thrown, which covered his book with broken glass.
The Mayor then warned the mob to depart in quietness ; but
they continued to fling stones at the house. When the Mayor
descended again into the street, he was reviled and abused ve-
hemently. The mob exclaimed against using military force,
and said they would not be governed by military law. Upon
which the soldiers were ordered out of sight, and the noise and
tumult increased. When the military were brought back,
however, peace was restored, and by four in the morning the
streets were completely cleared.
The several defendants above-mentioned, five of whom are
respectable and wealthy farmers, residing in the vicinity of
Canterbury, were now charged. with taking part in these
riotous proceedings. The main question in the ease was their
identity. A vast number of witnesses were examined on both
sides.

[The verdict had not reached us when our Paper was put to
Press.] (Morning Paper.)

VOYAGE CRITIQUE as L'ETNA en 1819 ; e. A CRI-
TICAL , JOURNEY to MOUNT ETNA in 1819, 1?y
J. A. de (loom:ay...Lox. 2 Vols. Bvo. Paris, 1821.
This is indeed a critical journey, not only to
Etna, but throughout all Sicily, for M. de Gour-
billon is inexorable to his precursors : he keeps
close to them, follows them step by step, cavils
at their most trivial observations, and is quite de-
lighted when he can impugn any of their con-
jectures, or detect an error of an inch or two in
the measurement of a column. Of all the vir-
tuosos who have visited Sicily, Borch and Bry-
done are, in the opinion of M. de Gourbillon, the
two who have made most liberal use of the pri-
vilege of travellers: Here Borch is inexcusable
for having fancied he saw a tomb amid a heap of
stones, which were only the remains of an aque-
duct or amphitheatre; there Brydone was a fool
for having maintained that the quarries of Syra-
cuse were formerly prisons; and both of them
are to be pitied for their credulity in believing
the ,old story of the Ear of Dionysius. M. de
Gourbillon alone sees things in their proper
light ; and, though he affects a sovereign con-
tempt for old ruins, and for pedants versed in
Greek and Latin, who pretend to explain every
thing, he does riot hesitate, displaying at the
same time all the erudition he possesses, and
quoting even Greek and Latin, to expound at
the first glance, and on natural principles, the
difficulties which have most embarrassed the
learned for several centuries. Scarcely does the
historian Fazello, who lived in the sixteenth
century, meet with favour at the hands of M, de
Gourbillon ; and indeed he is more than once
reprimanded by him.
With respect to the Ear of Dionysius, we all
know that this celebrated tyrant had caused a
prison in the shape of an ear to he constructed
at the foot of an enormous rock : above the open-
ing the tympanum of the ear was contrived, form-
ing a sort of niche, in which the suspicious Dio-
nysius was accustomed to lie down every day
after dinner, to overhear the secrets which his
victims seldom failed to disclose. This method,
Borch seriously remarks, procured for Dionysius
a peaceable reign of thirty-eight years. M. de
Gourbillon entered this famous ear, which is
about 174 feet deep, and at the risk of being
condemned to the quarries, he spoke out in a
loud voice, and the echoing vault repeated his
words with astonishing correctness. So far so
well, and the proof of the. Ear of Dionysius would
thus be established in the opinion of a Brydone,
a Borch, and any common traveller; but M. de
Gourbillon still had his doubts, which could not
be satisfied until he had gone into the lurking
hole of the tyrant., This hole, as we have before
observed, was immediately over the entrance of
the cavern, at the height of 60 feet, and on the
side of a rough and almost perpendicular moun-
tain, which neither Borch nor Brydone ven-
tured to climb. This was enough to stimu-
late the courage of M. de Gourbillon ; and
behold him, by means of a rope and pulley,
hoisted into the air, and lodged on the famous
tympanum, on which he immediately lies down
with his ear to the ground ; but, alas! in vain
did his guides roar in the cavern, either owing to
M. de Gourbillon not having such a fine ear as
the Tyrant of Syracuse, or that the ravages of
time have injured the most ancient tympanum of
the world. The intrepid traveller heard not a
syllable of the cries with which the vault beneath
him resounded, and he thence concludes that
antiquity knew not what it said, that Borch and
Brydone are dupes, and that if Dionysius had
no other means of discovering conspiracies, the
lowest police-agent of modern times could have
given him useful lessons.
This accuracy and these scruples of M. de
Gourbillon are certainly very praiseworthy.—
We have a high opinion of the sincerity of a man
who, for the love of truth, consents to he drawn
through the air like a bundle of straw ; who,
seated in a frail skiff, encounters, for our instruc-
tion, the perils of the' famed Charybdis; who
fears not to climb the steepest precipices, and to
descend into craters and abysses ready to burst
with volcanic matter ; and who explores cata-
combs, excavations, wells, and damp and miry
subterraneous vaults ; but we would rather that,
amid such labours, he would think less• and ec-
cupy fewer pages with the historians, chroniclers,
and travellers who have written respecting Si-
cily from the earliest times. We have not read
all their works, and, perhaps, never shall, as we
are disposed to believe that the narrative of M.
de Gourbillon is as correct and complete as the
bold and decisive tone of the. Author leads us to
presume. It is in this sense that a descriptive
journey seems to us preferable to a critical jour-
ney. What should we say of an Historian who
should suspend at every instant the interest of
his narration to point Out to us the mistakes of
authors who have written on the same-subject ?
And, again, if none of the travellers who visited
Sicily before our Author are to be relied on, how
are we to know that M. de Gourbillon is entitled
to more credit ? Are we to undertake, in our
turn, a journey to Sicily, to ascertain on whom
we are to depend for an accurate account of the
circumference of Mount Etna, of the ruins of
Agrigentum and Segesta, or of the chaste amours
of the nymph Arethusa ; and must we, in short,
with the compass, the barometer, and the men.:

sure in our, hands, follow the steps of M. de Gotir-
billon with. the same minuteness as he. has traced
the steps of Borch_and Brydone.
The Author might
,have, easily avoided this
fault if he had extracted from his journal, from
his first notes,- the relation which he ha,s just pub-
lished. But it is evident enough that .he has
placed these same notes before us ; he gives
us sketches taken from nature the origi-
nal trait is . preserved, but so are also their
want of arrangement, their incorrectness and
repetitions. M. de. Gourbillon always car-
ried with him the books whiCh should have
served him as guides and instructors ; but
the errors he met in them led. him astray,
and their exaggerations irritated him ; he
corrected them, no doubt, under the influence of
passion, in his daily notes ; and to these causes
must be attributed the numerous reproofs and
admonitions given to Biscart, Ortolani, the Pere
Massa, the Pere Pancrazzio, the Canon Recu.
pero,, Pliny, Diodorus Siculus himself, and es-
pecially to the unfortunate Borch and Brydone,
from whom, by the way, he makes no scruple of
borrowing whole pages and chapters. All this
is not at all amusing to the reader.
Endowed with uncommon vigour and persever-
ance, M. de Gourbillon, however, has observed,
seen, and described every thing. No traveller
has made more observations respecting Palermo,
Messina, Catana, and Drepanum ; respecting the
antiquities of Orthygia, Acradinum, Neapolis,
and Agrigentum ; and relative to the four or five
different kinds of earthquakes known in Sicily,
and the seventy-six Etnean eruptions men-
tioned in history. But our critical traveller
is not easily warmed into extacies ; and though
the Bucolic poets have represented the fieldi of
Sicily as treasures of fertility, verdure, shade,
and freshness, though some geographers have
dwelt in still stronger colours on these agreeable
descriptions, yet M. de Gourbillon mercilessly
destroys these illusions. Sicily,
,according to
this traveller, presents to the eye only barren
heaths, lands either calcareous, scorched, or
rocky, horrible precipices, immense caverns,
mountains torn by torrents or overthrown by
earthquakes,and in all parts lava, cinders, scoriae,
and images of destruction and death : no high
roads, no forests, no shade or shelter ; scarcely
can you perceive here and there a few vallies

less arid, where the fig or the olive, the orange
and date reach maturity. The celebrated vale
of Enna, the banks of the Anapis and those of
the Cyana, the waters of which, according to
the course of the Moon's phases, increase and
decrease with her, deserve, however, an honour-.
able exception. If from the physical we pass to
the moral order, Sicily is, without exception, the
worst abode of misery. The people are wretched
and clownish, the nobility full of hatred and jea-
lousy, the government stupid and venal, and the
clergy more oppressive, avaricious, intolerant, and
disproportionately more numerous than in any
other country of the globe. It is true that M. de
Gourbillon appears ill disposed to do justice to
the latter classes ; therefore, if we wish to form
just ideas of the manners, habits and customs of
the Sicilians, and the degree of prosperity they
enjoy, we should prefer consulting Borch and
Brydone, and even the historian Fazello, to the
new traveller.

The truly interesting part of this book is the
description of Mount Etna, of that ignivomous
colossus, by the side of which•, according to the
expression of Spallanzani, Vesuvius Is only a
cabinet volcano. But to procure for us the plea-
sure of knowing what is going on at the bottom of
the crater, M. de Gourbilion should have shared
the fate of Empedocles ; and it is impossible to
say whether the volcano which returned the san-

dais of the philosopher would have restored to us
any thing belonging to M. de Gourbillon. This
perilous part of his expedition seems to have
somewhat confused the intellects of our traveller,
as there is no other way of accounting for the
errors and exaggerations of such a severe critic.
Is it credible, for instance, that he could•not
find a map at Palermo, or a bottle of ink at Ca-
tana ? and can you imagine that he should hate

committed such an _egregious blunder as tO
reckon Pindar among the Sicilian poets ? Is it
possible that M. de Gourbilion should have such

piercing eyes as the Greek who, from Cape
Lilybeeus, saw and counted the vessels which
were leaving the port of Carthage, at the dis-
tance of eighty-five leagues; is it possible, I say,
that M. de Gourbillon could see the bottom of

.he sea five hundred feet below the surface of the

water ? These, however, are minor faults; but
it is quite inexcusable in a critic, Who possesses
originality and intelligence, to write incorrectly,
and to make use of vulgarisms. Before we take

•
our leave of the. author we should inform our

readers that M. de Gourbillou is a poet, has
translated Dante, and gives several specimens of
his own translation in various parts of his Critical
Journey : and in conclusion we, would just beg
to remind M. de Gourbillon that Comber and

monter were never yet known.tn rhyme.

ANECDOTE.—A gentleman, just returned from
Ireland, informs us of the following enthusiastic
trait in the Irish character :—He was walking
over one of the bridges at Dublin, when he was
saluted with "'Arrah, my honey, where are you
going to without clanint your shoes ? What do
you think the King will say if the brig be not
kept dune .2 Will he not say what dirty craters
these Irish be, not to have a elahe brig. -Come
back, honey, and scrape your Shoes." The gen-
tleman-found it wasa fact tliat- all were to—uh.--
dergo the same ceremony, and of otirce 'epfnplied
with Paddy's' request. • '

(F4BOX TIIE DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT, Aim. 17.)
Received this Morning. .
' DUBLIN, AUG. 17.—Ris MAJESTY. this day
entered the City by the route described in n
former Number. -He was accompanied by the
personages, and received with the ceremonials
which had been previously: arranged; but it is
impossible-to convey, in language, an idea of the
feelings of veneration, of love, of enthusiasm,
with which thiS Patriot Monarch was greeted by
his loyal and truly attached Irish subjects. The
page of history., presents no parallel—the fiction
of poetry affords no passage sufficiently strong to
.represent the scene exhibited this day.—Tye sen-.
swims experienced by the thousands who took a
part in the proceedings, was joy, unmixed, and
of the purest-character—felt by all, but impose
sible to be described.
At so 'early an hour as six o'clock, the streets
exhibited a bustle, and carriages, horsemen, and
pedestrians were seen thronging to the situations
prescribed for them. At eight o'clock, several
of the Deputies, the Members of the different
parishes, and some of the trades, had ttssembkd
—and at nine, the streets presented a scene
never perhaps equalled in any - city' of Europe.
The. carriages of the Nobility, Great Officers'
of State, and the Gentry, who were to take
a part in the procession to meet his Majesty,
were seen driving to their respective stations,
filled with the high personages of the country in
full dress,the servants in new and splendid liveries,
and the horses decked out in gay and- gaudy
trappings, intermixed with a profusion of blue
ribbands, the colour agreed to be worn in honour
of his Majesty. From eight to nine o'clock the
scene was enlivened by the appearance of ele-
gantly dressed females proceeding along the line
of procession to take .possession of the seats so
much in request for the last week, and secured at
such labour and expence. ByMine o'clock
..
"-----: Stalls, bulks, windows
Were smothered up, leads MEd, and ridges licrazd
With various complexions ; all agreeing
In earnestness to see him."
--
A procession passed through Dame-street at
this hour, towards IVlountjoy-square fi cm Back-
lane, which excited universal admiration. It was
composed of the Silk, Ribbon, Stuff,and Tabinet
Weavers, preceded by a.band of music, and each
man dressed or ornamented with the fabric of
his trade, and carrying a small flag. - Amongst
the several Bodies which took a part in the
proceedings, there was not one which felt or
exhibited n,-ere unfeigned manifestations of
joy and gratitude than this—the former .they
felt in common with every class of their fellow-
countrymen—the latter they owed to their grae
cious Monarch,: who, by his presence and coat..
mends, has revived their trade, and placed them
in comparative independence. There will
,not,
during his Majesty's gracious sojourn among.us,
we are persuaded, be any offering presented,
more acceptable to him than that brought by the
group we are describing, to greet him on his en-
trance into the city of Dublin--the offering of
grateful and happy hearts.
At eleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor, in his
"state coach,, drawn by, six. beautiful horses, and
accompanied by the Board of Aldermen, Re-
corder, Sheriffs, and Common Council in full
dress, and. robes of . the most magnificent descrip..
tion, left the Mansion House in state, to take up
their position within the barrier erected at Ca-
vendish-row. His Lordship.and the Corporation
were hailed as they passed .by, with the most
friendly and cordial greetings.

was to pass, .exhibited.a striking and .novel ap-

THE CASTLE.
.At 'ten 'O'clock, the Officers-at-Arms having
'previously marshalled 'file different public bodies,
,
private individuals, the...procession set out
'arid

ftcat the Castle in the order which had Lein pre-
viously arranged, and passed through the streets
before stated to the Pa:k. The last of the car-
riages had not left until half an hour after eleven
o'clock. On arriving at the junction of the routes
at the watering-place in the Park, they turned to
the right, and took up their stations at the northern
gate. Previous to their arrival, the Gentlemen
of the County of Dublin had lined the Circular-

road at either side without the gate. They were
all dressed in blue coats, buff waistcoats, and
white trowsers, with the welcome
.button, and
were ornamented—the City Gentlemen with blue
scarfs and white sashes—and those of the County,
with pink scarfs and white sashes.

• THE PARK.
At ten o'clock, two of the 'Royal carriages
were dispatched from the Lodge to the Castle,
and returned with some of the Members of his
Majesty's household. Shortly after their return
a squadron of the 3d Dragoons arrived, and
formed in the lawn in front of the Lodge, and at
a quarter past eleven the Com Mender of the
Forces, accompanied by the Staff and Sir Charles
Grant, the Commander of the Garrison, dressed
in the splendid uniform or the 15th Hussars.
On the arrival of the gallant General and
his Stall; they were loudly cheered by the
populace- ..The Procession entered the Park
a - few minutes afterwards, and proceeded
to their stations, as before described, headed
by a military band on horseback. At twelve
o'clock his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's
State, which closed the procession, reached the
Gate, escorted by a squadron of the 12th Lancers.
On the arrival of the Procession at the Northern
Gate, an officer was dispatched to announce to
his Majesty that the necessary arrangements were
then completed for his reception. At five minutes
after twelve, the King entered an open carriage,
drawn by eight beautiful horses, led by his Ma-
jesty's grooms, and attended by a numerous train
of grooms and footmen in magnificent liveries.—
His Majesty was dressed ilia full military uniform,
decorated with the Order and Ribbon of St.
Patrick.--Isis hat was ornamented with a rosette;
composed of Shamrocks of' more than twice the
size of a military cockade. Ile appeared in ex-
cellent health, and was manifestly in excellent
spirits. His Majesty wore a crape on his left
arm, and was accompanied in his carriage by the
IVlarquisses of Head ford and Winchester.
As soon as his Majesty was seated in his car-
riage, a rocket was discharged from the ground
adjoining the - Lodge, which signal was repeated
by an artillery-man stationed for the purpose at
some distance, and a Royal salute was immediately
fired from cannon placed adjoining the Welling-
ton Testimonial.
A great concourse of persons were assembled
at the private entrance to -the Lodge, a ge-
neral impression having gone abroad that it
was from thence he would take- his depar-
ture. At this period so intense was the
anxiety amongst the numerous assemblage of
spectators, that the most perfect silence prevail-
ed. Not a sound could be heard—every in-
dividual seemed to entertain a fear of distracting
his own attention, or that of his neighbour, from
the grand object of their expectation, by giving
utterance to the softest whisper. Ilis Majesty
reached the northern gate at half-past twelve,
where he was received by his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant, and the procession then moved
along the route prescribed.
The order of the procession was precisely simi-
lar to that in the Programme published. After
his Majesty's carriage followed the Committee of
Householders, and the rear was brought up by
several thousand Gentlemen of the City, and
County, uniformly dressed in the costume we
before described, and mounted on horses. After
them followed the Trades which were assembled.
The state displayed by the Lord Mayor and
Corporation was highly creditable to the city.—
His Lordship was seated in a magnificent State
Coach, and the High Sheriffs, mounted on white
horses, rode, with their hats off, at either side.
At ten minutes before two o'clock, loud shouts
rent the air in Cavendish-row, and announced the
Immediate approach of his Majesty. A halt then
took place in the procession for nearly 10 minutes,
the whole of the carriages, except the Lord Lieute-
nant's, had passed through the Barrier, and a va-
cant space remained unoccupied up to the middle
of Cavendish-row. At length, the Heralds ad-
vanced with all the pomp and ceremony of their
office, and ail eyes were directed towards his
Majesty's barouche, which was seen, after an
interval, following that of the Lord Lieutenant,
-but so surrounded by military officers of rank,
that the person of his Majesty was not discerni-
ble at the Barrier. The Heralds advanced to
demand admission, and were received by the
Civic Officers in full state ; the Lord Mayor,
Recorder, and the other Members of the Corpor-
atiorriin attendance, together with the City Men).-
bers, within the barrier, then alighted, and rormed
at each side on foot and uncovered. The King's
barouche then drove at rather a quick pace
through the barrier, but was immediately pulled up
on entering the gates. The acclamations, as his
Majesty first touched the city ground and ap-
peared within the barrier, were universal, and
Via loudest we ever heard. We have spoken to
persons who have seen the greatest congrega-
tions assembled in the British Metropolis, and
who declare that they never saw any manifesta-
tion of popular enthusiasm so heartfelt as that
which hailed his Majesty from, at least, 100,000 ,
persons, of all ranks and estates, as he entered the
city. The King rose from-his seat and most gra- ,
ciousli and affably acknowledged this enthusiastic
reception of his loyal subjects. The Ladies on
all sides waved their handkerchiefs, and join-
ed in the exulting acclamations ; banners were
waved, and the whole scene was magnificent and
affecting. The Bands all struck up " God save
the King," and the immense multitude, as if with
one accord, stood uncovered in the presence of
their King. His Majesty's feelings on this
memorable occasion were expressed with the ut-
most emotion. He turned round to make his
obeisance, and stood uncovered for several minutes.

while he waved his hand in return for the hands
• (we may say hearts) which moved in token of
enthusiastic and loyal duty. His Majesty pe-
peatedly pointed to the shamrock which iecorat-
