THE KING'S PROGRESS'

BARTH ER PA RT/CCLA RS.
CANTERBURY, SEPTEMBER 21

- _
Although his MAJESTY declined all public atten-
tion which might interrupt his progress, the loyalty
of this City manifested itself in every outward mark
of attachment and respect.
Colours were, early yesterday morning, hoisted
on the towers of Westgate and St. Dunstan s Church,
at the Guildhall, and in other conspicuous situations;
the Guildhall was also decorated with oak boughs,
which were likewise displayed on the fronts of most
of the houses cf the principal streets through which
his MAJESTY passed, and in some situations, arches
formed of boughs were thrown from one side to the
other, the effect of which was strikingly pleasing.—
The Mayor and Corporation, accompanied by Mr.
/,usuraoroa, one of the Members, assembled at the
Guildhall at an early hour in the afternoon, and
awaited in their robes, with the sword and mace, his
Maims-is arrival.
From an early hour in the morning, which was sin-
gularly beautiful, numbers had continued to arrive
in the city from the adjacent country, and the streets
were thronged with an immense concourse of visitors,
many of them elegantly dressed females, and of the
first families in the vicinity ; these, with the passing
and reprising of the Yeomanry Cavalry and Military
to their different stations, gave animation to a scene
rarely witnessed, and in which every heart beat high
in the hope of beholding their beloved Monarch, in
hie fire visit as KING to this ancient city.

RAMSGATE, TeginAT EVENINC:.

A company of fourteen sat down at table with his
MAJESTY at the dinner at Sir WILLIAM CURTIS'S,
on Monday evening, viz.—The Marquis of CONYNG-
RANI, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Sir BENJAMIN BLOONI-
YIELD, Sir EDNI UND NAGLE, Lord Chief Justice DAL-
LAS, Baron GAPROW, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, and
five of his family. We cannot omit to mention a
trait of his MAJESTY'S kindness and consideration:
Lieutenant T. Cony's, a nephew of Sir WILLIAM,
bad the honour of being present, when his MAJESTY
took out of his pocket a Commander's Commissiwn,
and presented to the young Gentleman, saying that
it was a mark of respect for his uncle, Sir WILLIAM;
and hoped that he, Lieutenant Courts, would long
enjoy this and other honours in his profession.
The embarkation of his MAJESTY took place this
day under circumstances which must prove to him
the loyalty and devotion of the people of this place
and its neighbourhood. His MAJESTY left the hos-
pitable residence of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS about ball-
past ten, in an open landau, accompanied by Lord
LIVERPOOL, the Marquis CONYNGHAM, Sir WILLIAM
Coatis, and another Gentleman, and immediately
proceeded to the Pier or (Trinity) House, where the
Deputation awaited his arrival, and to whose Ad-
dress he was pleased to return a most gracious An-
swer, adding, that as it was not the first time he had
visited Ramsgate, it should certainly not be the last.
In a few minutes his MAJESTY proceeded by the
boarded platform to the barge, into which, as he de-
scended, he took off his cap, repeatedly placed his
land to his breast, and bowed with the most conde-
scending familiarity to the assembled thousands who
lined the Pier. In the same manner he continued
bowing until he had nearly reached the Royal George,
which he ascended at precisely eleven o'clock. A
Royal salute was immediately fired from the Pier,
and the sloops of war which were to accompany his
MaJr.sry observed the same respectful ceremony.
At a gnat ter after eleven o'clock, the Royal yacht
was under way for Calais. Before one o'clock, the
vole of the Royal Squadron was almost out of
sight, with the wind was in the most favourable
point for the French coast. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM
FIELD, accompanied by Mr. WILLIAM CURTIS, pro=
ceeded to Calais at two o'clock this morning with the
baggage of his MAJESTY, and also for the purpose of
regulating the mode of travelling most conformable
to the Royal wishes.
His MAJESTY seemed quite delighted with the
simple, hut sincere emblems of loyalty, which broke
on his view as he proceeded to the Pier.
It is impossible to describe the effect of this un-
usual scene. The East and West Cliffs were lined
with well-dressed spectators, and the two sides of the
Pier, as they almost converged at the entrance into
the Basin, afforded a picture which language cannot
sufficiently pourtray. Again tire: view upwards from
the Pier shelved a mixed mass of persons, waving
handkerchiefs and hats. Previous to the embarka-
tion, the harbour seemed covered over with craft of
various sizes, and the Hero and London Engineer
steam-boats from Margate, arrived full of passengers
about ten o'clock. Altogether, the scene was one
which must have been extremely gratifying to the
feelings of his MAJESTY.
The worthy Baronet, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, is to
accompany his MAJESTY to Calais, and then return
in his own yacht. Lord LIVE !woof. left the town soon
after twelve oclock. Lords DARNLEY and CLIFTON
Were the only strangers of distinction whom we noticed.

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

The Hero and Engineer, Margate steam-vessels,
arrived in Ramsgate harbour early this morning, for
the purpose of conveying passengers, to accompany
his iMforsry to the Continent; they had scarcely
ecared Ramsgate pier, when an Officer arrived from
his NlaJcsrv's yacht, on board the hero, stating she
had permission to accompany his MAJESTY to ealais,
for the purpose of towing him up the harbour, if ne-
cessary; the Proprietors having made the offer of
their vessel for that purpow, his 31.uEsrst thus gra-
ciously accepted it with much condescension ; but
this not beim; made known till the vessel was in the
16'ttlis a difficulty arose as to the debarkation of the
passengers; the En.incyr was hailed, and them fine
steam_vess,.ls being lain along siJe each other, the
ih'm emptied its live stock on board the Engineer,
and immediately joined company with the SOVEREIGN.
if a fine day, fair wind, and the gorgeous display
of innumerable vessels, both in the Roads and in the
I)"wn,s literally covered with the colours of every
"4'3: the guns saluting from every point on shore,
and the zealous cheers of the populace, could pro-
duce a sight grateful to thehuman heart, we this day
beheld it; and, indeed; many were the contentions,
on board the Ikro, before her passengers would quit
her, each anxious to tread the same plank with his
6mrereign ;—among other Gentlemen who secreted
themselves for this purpose, WWI Mr. FAUCIT, the
'Pzeprictur of the Theatre Royal, Margate. His WA.

srsry arrived at Calais early in the afternoon, after
a trip of scarcely four hours, and apparently in ex-
cellent health and spirits.

DEAL, SEPTENIBER 45.

4arly this morning the town of Deal and the
Downs presented an unusual display of bustle and
animation, produced by the unfeigned loyalty with
which the in habitants were preparing to receive their
Sovereign on his approach into their waters from
Ramsgate. At eleven o'clock a Royal salute from
the squadron lying off Ramsgate Harbour, which
was immediately answered by the frigates in the
Downs, announced the embarkation of his MAJESTY
on board the Royal yacht, which, in a few minutes
after, was observed to make sail, and stand for the
Downs, in a most majestic style, attended by innu-
merable pleasure-vessels and ships of war.

As she neared Deal, the scene became more and
more animating ; boats of all sizes were to be seen
hastening to the Royal yacht, crowded with persons
of both sexes, and all ranks; the enthusiasm with
which they cheered his MAJESTY, as he sailed past
them, produced the most condescending returns.
His MAJESTY repeatedly approached the gangway
of the ship, and acknowledged with great feeling his
sense of the affectionate attention of the people. The
high health and spirits of his MaJesrv—the fixed-
ness of the weather—the fairness of the wind, and
every otl:er circumstance, tended to give zest to the
scene. At half-past twelve his MAJESTY passed
through the Downs ; at a quarter past one he was
clear of the South Sand Head ; at three, nothing was
visible from Deal but the Royal standard at the main-
top•gall.u:t-mast head ; and at four P.M. this day, his
MAJESTY was safe on shore at Calais.
DEAL, SEPTEMBER 26.

IliS MAJESTY landed at Calais at four o'clock yes-
terday. The Royal George yacht and the remainder
of the Royal Squadron have returned to the Downs,
but will proceed to Portsmouth immediately the
wind becomes fair, which is at present W.N.W.

Two young Ladies spread their shawls for his MA-
JESTY to walk over when he came on shore at Mil-
ford. The stone on which his MAJESTY first trod is
to be removed into the Milford Masonic Lodge.
When Mr. (now Sir RICHARD) BIRNIE was intro-
duced to the presence-chamber on his appointment
to the Chief Magistracy of the Police, for the pur-
pose of receiving the honour of Knighthood, his MA-
JESTY was about to use his own sword in the cere-
mony, but having partly drawn it from the scabbard,
he suddenly returned it, and turning to the Duke of
WELLINGTON, who stood near him, said, " Duke,
lend me your weapon." His Grace unsheathed the
glittering blade, and placed it in his Sovereign's hand,
and with this renowned sword the well-merited honour
was conferred.

SINGULAR CIRCUIISTANCE.—A female, aged up-
wards of seventy years, has reided for a consider-
able time in a small house, at Cambridge Heath,
Hackney-road. She kept rte servant, associated with
none of her neighbours, and the only inmate was a
favourite cat. Her doors and windows were con-
stantly kept secured, and the signal of the milk•man,
or any one applying for admission, was throwing a
stone against the door or window. A neighbour's
daughter was in the habit of going every morning to
proctire her svelter, but on Monday, after repeated
signals, she could get no entrance. The girl went
for her mother, and v ith a diamond ring they cut a
pane of glass, got admission, and proceeded up stairs.
There they found the old Lady, by the side of her
bed, with her clothes on, and a small piece of cat's
meat in her hand. They soon discovered that she
WAS dead. It is supposed that she died of apoplexy,
a•. no marks of violence appeared, nor was any of the
property disturbed. From the abstemious manner of
her living, it was supposed her circumstances were
very limited; but, on examining her drawers, Stock
receipts and Government secur►ties were found to the
amount of nearly One Hundred Thousand Poundal—
She always declared she would make no will, for 64 the
King" should have all her money. Every search has
been made, but no will found. Her sister died a few
years ago, and left her L'7ooo, which it now seems
she at first declined, saying she was not in want of
money. No relative has yet appeared : she was a
maiden Lady, and her name Sarah Bond. No doubt
all the musty parish registers will be examined by
those of a similar name, in order to trace her pedi-
gree, and deprive King George IV. of such an im-
mense sum.

Thursday Mrs. FRY, so justly celebrated for her
benevolent efforts in the cause of philanthropy, visited
the County Jail, Maidstone. She was accompanied
by Lord and Lady TORRINGTON, and a large party
of other Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr. AGAR, the Go-
vernor, attended the party through every department
of the prison, explaining the various arrangements of
that well-conducted establishment. Mrs. FRY ex-
pressed herself in terms of the warmest admiration at
the cleanliness and order of the prisoners, and ap-
peared to feel greatly gratified by her visits
CUVENT•GA ROES THEATRE.--The Tragic Play of
Pizarro was last night revived at this Theatre, when
Mr. YOUNG resumed the character of Rolla, and sup-
ported it throughout with a force of delineation which
elicited the loudest plaudits. His address to the Pe-
ruvian army was a specimen of declamation as fine
as we ever recollect to have heard, and was as loudly
and unanimously applauded. Mrs. FAuctr's Elrira
was highly respectable. ABBOT'S Alonzo, and Cos-
son's Pizarro, were not devoid of merit, and they
each received a fair tribute of approbation from the
audience. The Play was followed by the whimsical
Farce of The Irish Widow, whi:h was revived last
night at this Theatre, after having lain on the shelf
for upwards of twenty years, for the purpose of in-
troducing a young Lady, new to the London boards,
in the character of the Widow Brady. Her conception
of the character was gond, and her brogue excellent :
and the kindness and indulgence of the audience
gave her every encouragement. Her reception was,
on the whole, highly favourable. EMERY'S Whittle,
W. FA RHEA KaLtiey, and BLANCHARD'S Thomas,
constituted an exquisite treat to the admirers of the
drama, and will give powerful aid in rendering the
Piece a favourite with the Public. The House was full.

Mr. MEADOW, from the Bath Theatre, who is now
about to make his debut on the London Stage, at
Covent-Garden, is the son of Mr. MEADOWS, formerly
a favourite Comedian at the Haymarket Theatre.
