ROYAL VISIT TO WESTMINSTER FALL.---Ott
Saturday the Duke and Duchess of KENT, with
their attendants, made a visit to Westminster Hall,
for the purpose of in,sßestiog the House of Par-
liament nod the Courts of Law. The new Chair
for the Speaker attracted the particular attention
of the Royal Party. It elegantly covered with
green. The Chair, once filled by our venerable
Monarch in the House of Peers, lops also been
repaired. 'The scarlet draperies and slotting are
all new, and the House was never seen to more
advantage. The Royal Duke and Duchess next
inspected the Courts of King's Bench and Chan-
cery, where the Crowns and Regalia, displayed by
the ancient figures over the Bench, having been
newly gilt, make a brilliant appearance. It was
the intention of their Royal Highnesses to inspect
Westminster -.Abbey, but the, clay being too far
advanced for cloe. As'etvatigw, I.bey did not c:o
to that venerable ectitice.' '

made for a long time by the inhabitants cif

were removed on Friday last from the New
Bailey, in Manchester, to Lancaster C.lstle :
Robert Nicholls, Robelq Riswick, Peter Wake-
field, Henry Wild, Richard Vairbrother,
Temple, George Webb, Gcoree Bancroft, and
Charles Clarke, whet e tine bills have been found
against them by the Grand Jury, for conspiring
to raise their wages as cotton-spinners. The
trial of these men excites considerable inter, st
amongst the manufacturing class, and was expect-
ed to cotntnence on Monday morning.

Yesterday the Festival of St. Louis was cele-
brated by all the Frunch in this Metropolis. , At
ten o'clock in the morning they as,.embled in the
French Chapel in Kin...;-•treet, l'orttnan-striare,
where high mais.was celebrated with the greatest
solemnity. The Chapel was crowded : among
the congregation were'all .tlee 'Catholic Nobility

several French Noblemen decorated with the
Crosses aml other insignia of their respective

This Meeting has .been very fashionably, .but not nu-
merously attended. The moor-game shooting would, of
course, prevent many Gentlemen from going, 11 he otherkise
would haxebeen there., We understand it isarrauged (with
permissnaof the Corporation) that ia future the Races shall
commence the first Monday in An gust, when a better at-
tendance is expected, as they will not, in that case, -interfere
with the grouse shooters. The course was in brtaitiful order,.
and many of the races, were contested in a superior style.
It is said by tbv ohl sportsmen that nothing has been seen at
all equal to iNtr. Watt's Blachlock, since the days of Eclipse;
he ran the four miles, on Wednesday, in seven minutes
twenty-three seconds, and won above a hundred yards, hard
held ; some of the horses - had not got to the distance-
post till long after he had won. The- Theatre and the
Assembly Rooms have had.tbeir. attractions ; at the formers
that lively and judicious Actress Mrs. Garrick has been much
admired ; and the performers' in general gav'e great satisfac-
tion; and- at the latter, Mr. Brahatn, (who is undoubtedly
the first singer in the world) at the solicitation of Mr. Philip
Knapton, favoured the company, Op Tuesday and Thursday
evening, with a specimen of his vocal powers; and no-
thing was o,itted, during the week, that could in any
manner afford amusement to the company attending the races.
Amongst the Nobility, &c. in York, during the week, the
following have been observed ! his Grace the Duke of
Leeds, Marquis of Carmarthen, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl of
Harewood, Lord Lascelles, M. P. and Lady Lascelies, Lord
Walpole, Lord Win. Bentinek, li.c. &C.—(Hull Packet,

BATTLE OF ALGIERS.—A massy piece of plate,
as large as three men can carry, arrived at Ply-
month last week, which was ordered by the Cap-
tains and Commanders of the several• ships and
vessels engaged in this memorable battle. It has
been presented to Lord ExiiotiTH, and will be
exhibited at the next anniversary dinner.

were not wholly exempted from censure, since
their managers were suffered to occupy several
days in the delivery of a single speech, as if more
invent on displaying their own powers of elo-
quence, that) in promoting the ends of substantial
justice.

" It requires, however, a radical change in the
mode_of conducting impeachments, before, this
most grieVous evil can he removed. There ought
to be a limited time between the period for pre-
ferring the charges before the High Court of Par-
liament and the final tklivery of the sentence,
beyond which no trial should be protracted. At
all events, no prorogation of the House of Lords
ought to take place until the trial should be over.
-Another regulation,. essential to the due admi-
nistration of justice, is, that the Court should he
subjected to the same toles as other Crimival
Courts,—so far as respects the delivery of their
verdict,—they ought not to separate, after the
defence is closed, until the verdict has been pro-
nounced. The high character which Mr. Hastings
bore; the eminent services which he had rendered
to his country ; his malty virtues, both public
and private ; all combined to render his acquittal
a source of satisfaction to a great majority of the
people; while it heightened the public feeling at
the oppression which he had endured by the un-
precedented length of iris trial."*

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK, AUG. 24.—There has been about
150 Pockets of new Hops at market; the s.amples
generally speaking are pretty fine and good for
first pickings, some few are mouldy, and they are
offering them at 12/, but the current prices are
from' 141. to 161. 16s. We are sorry to say we
have not a brisk sale for them. Yearling Hops
are full 40s. per cwt. lower than they were a for
night since.---The duty is at 135,0001.
MAIDSTONE, AUG.24.—Hop-picking has gene-.
rally commenced in this nei4iihourhood, and the
report is, that they come down very well, anti
weigh heavy ; the red mould is rapidly spreading
in some grounds, Which occasions many planteis
to begin picking earlier than they would have
done, but in most places they improve both in
quality and size. The number Kt' hands employed
is, we believe, beyond all precedent, some idea of
which may be formed, when we state that Mr.
Ellis, alone, has upwards of 3500 pickers engaged
in his plantations ; the roads during the last week
have been swarming with them, many of whom
have come from the remotest parts of England for
this .purpose. The Hops on the Continent are
said to look very bad, and have every appearance
of growing but a small quantity.

NORTHIAM, SUSSEX, AUG 24.—Hop-picking,
has commenced and will become general in this
neighbourhood in the course of the week. A ta.
Vonrite plantation of about five acres in this pa.
rish, belonging to Mr. Thomas Mercer Harris;
which was last year considered by a Vorcester
Gentleman,•travellin; through the plantations, to
have been-superior to any that had been seen itt
England for that and the-preceding year, appears
this year of a s;milar description, and is consi-
dered better than any plantation (on an average)
iii the, county.—(Maidstone Journal, Aug. 25.)

CORN-EXCHANGE, AUG. 26.—Ourarrivals this
morning were nut large, but there was plenty for
the demand : Fine Samples of Wheat sold at
Monday's prices ; Barley, Pease, and Beans, fully
support their prices ; the Oat Trade is rather (lull.
In other kinds of Grain there is no alteration.
SPURIOUS TRA.—The vigilant exertions of the
Excise Officeri in Dublin are daily snaking fur-
ther. discoveries of those frauds which have been
for a long time carried on, in the substitution of
sloe leaves and oilier pernicious vegetables for tea.
A few days back a seizure of a considerable quan-
tity of, this pernicious commodity was made by
Messrs. Cullisson and Champion, Revenue Offi-
cers, in the house of a grocer near Bishop-street :
some of it was exposed for sale is the shops, and
the remainder bidden in another part of the house.
SNOW IN SummErt.---14:Ist year the snow lay
among the mountains of Tweedsmuir till the
middle or latter end of August ; and daring the
present bummer, notwithstanding the oneomrnort
-warmth of the season,- snow was tit he seen itt
Donaldscleugh, in Gameshope, on the 16th inst...
The elevation of the place above Hie level of the
sea is about 2500 feet, and 2400 below the curve
of perpetual- cioigelation.
SUlClDE',.—YcSlerday toorning, about 9 o'clock,
Mrs. Mary Gifford, a I espectahle woman, of
Charles-street, Commercial-road, Mile-end, got
out of bed, and- went down stairs to her sis;er,
whom she told to go and take a walk before
breakfast, which she did.. On her return home,
she found the door locked, with the key itssitie ;
an alarm was given, nud the s!oor bur“ orn.
when they found Mrs. G suspended from the be-d.
tester. She was cot down, and a surgco sell;
for, but she was rp dead.
A merry Hibernian was brought before the Ma,
Os, races, on Thursday last, at the Town Hail, at
Brighton, tor osunkenness, and was tlrikitti to
pay live shillings or be pLced in the stocks. Pat,
however, remarked that he should never forgive
himself if be chose ; thought he had no fear
of the first, not tiaviug sixpence in the world, and
it was not a proeer thitsg for a man in his circus..
stances to be dabbling in the stocks.

I'ItOVINCI AI, 3OCRNA.LS.

(From " The i,retl. ittlelagencer" of the 24th lust)

SII,FORD SESSIONS.

The following is a 101 l report of Mr. CROSSE'S
admirable openi►►g Speech on the prosecution of
the rioters. It forcibly illustrates the ill, gality,
danger, and unprolitableness of all unlawful corn-
bitiatiovs amongst workmen. We recommend
to the earnest attention, not only of the deluded
classes themselves .o whom it refers. but'also to

the serious eonsiderittion of those who make it
their busi:iess first to render them dissatisfied,

and then to incite them to mischief, anti to rush
upon the it own ruin. The Organ of Luddism in
this town has been forced, wish respect to the
Cotton Spintiers,_to admit the falsehood of his as-
sertions. Three short weeks since, he stated that
the average earnings of •the Spinners were elewm
shillings per week. The week following he re-
luctantly raised the amount to nineteen shilling.
In his last publication he has been compelled to
state, "that the tact has been communicated to
him by a Gentleman on whose veracity he can re-
ly, that the average of nineteen mills. where men
are employed, has Veen taken, and that their clear
we, lily earnings fur the last six months have been
funud to he thirty-one shillings a week, while the
earnings of the boys and girls, in thirteen other
mills, have been found to amount to seventeen
shillings weekly !'
Thus, after a most foul and base attempt to ex-
cite the sympathy of the working classes here
for their refractory brethren in Lancashire, and,
from that sympathy., to reap similar -discontent,
ami similar unlawteel proceedings, is The Leeds
Nercary condemned out of his own- mouth. The
candid man endeavours, with Ids usual artifice,
to Liver; the attention of the Public from the real
point in question but, having effectually driven
hint trout the new career of mischiei on which he
had entered, we leave bins to the sentence of re-
probation which the public voice has pronounced
upon' him.
