His MAJzsrv's Levee has not, for many years,
been more fully attended than yesterday. Before
one o'clock, St. James's Park was crowded with up-
wards of ten thousand spectators, consisting of ladies
and gentlemen, who formed a triple line, from the
Duke of Marlborough's Gardens to the Queen's Pa-
lace. Every eminence and seat was crowded with
ladies, anxious to have a peep at the PERSIAN AM-
BASSADOR. Sr. James's-street was filled with a line of
carriages, and a great number of foot passengers.—
The balconies of the houses were crowded with beauty
and fashion, awaiting anxiously for the time when his
Excellency was to pass, on his way to the Palace.
The Persian Ambassador's carriage was in attend-
ance at the Palace for upwards of one hour after the
departure of his Excellency. The carriage was sur-
rounded by a great number of spectators, who amu-
sed themselves with inspecting the arms, w.'!ich are
a lion couchant, and on its back is represented the ris-
ing sun ; the whole surrounded with flags, with a
motto in the Greek language ; on the quarter pannels
are three sabres, fastened together by the hilts, with
a Greek motto at the top.

The Senate of the Unjversity of Glasgow confer.

Yesterday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, died,
at his house, in St. Paul's Church-yard, Mr. JOSEPH
Jomiisow, bookseller, being more than seventy years
of age. He was an ornament to the profession in
which he was engaged, and would have been an or-
nament to any profession. He was a man of a gene-
rous, candid, and liberal mind ; he delighted in
doing good ; the worthy and the necessitous had rea-
son to bless the warmth of his heart, and will long
continue to regret his loss. He was, on all occa-
sions, ready to apply his time and his thoughts for
the benefit of others ; and for his integrity and the
clearmss of his views, was the perpetual resort of
all his connections, in seasons of difficulty and embar-
rassment. His understanding was of the best and
soundest nature ; and though he was the very reverse
of every thing assuming and ostentatious, yet those
who knew him best, and were most able to estimate
his talents, will readily bear testimony, that they never
heard him say a weak or a foolish thing, or indeed
any thing that would have discredited the lips of the
wisest of his dentemporaries, Accordingly his table
was frequented through successive years by a succes-
sion of persons of the greatest talents, learning and
genius ; and the writer of these lines can cheerfully
bear witness that all were delighted when he took his
share in the conversation, and only regretted that the
gentleness and modesty of his natuardehim to do it
so rarely. He was always found an advocate on the
side of human nature and human virtues, recom-1
mending that line of conduct which springs. from
disinterestedness and a liberal feeling, and maistain-
ing the pratticability of such conduct.
