Guard-chamber, at Windsor Castle. This beautiful specimen of
naval architecture was constructed in the East Indies ; front its
figure-head to the stern, it measures upwards of twelve feet. and its
main-mast is nearly seven lee in height. The accuracy with which
all the complicated minutia of a vessel of this size is delineated, is
truly surprising; the blocks and rigging, even to the minutest ropes,
are represented with the most perfect correctness. Miniature en.
eigns of the Royal and Admiralty Standards, are affised to the re.
spective masts with astonishing freedom of design end execution;
and the whole model forms a most distinguished addition to the
attractions of the Scale Aparttnents. •

MEETING OF THE" S COCK PORT OPERATIVES.

ZROM THE STOCKPORT ADVERTISISR, JULY 20.

We had hoped from the good sense and forbearance
which our fellow townsmen have hitherto %hewn, that
we should not have had to report any thing to their dis
advantage ; but unfortunately they have begun to listen
to theinsiduous and inflammatory language of men who
have no other object in view than to create anarchy and
bloodshed. We would earnestly relommend them to ab-
stain from countenancing the endeavours of such charac-
ters, and by such a continuance of their raceable
con-
duct, entitle themselves to the sympathfand commise-
ration of the country at large. They cannot expect to
do any good by a breach of the laws; but they may do
much harm, for, most assuredly, if they cause any tumult
they will be very seriously dealt with. We have been
led into these observations from the occurrences of
last night.
We had heard that meetings had taken place on
Monday and last week, and that one would be held
last night (Wednesday), in Langsheath-lane. We went
to the appointed spot at eight o'clock, where we found
between 2 and 300 men and boys assembled, and before
a quarter to nine o'clock, there were between 5 and 600.
At this time a man, who it was evident was expected
to address them, arrived. A ring was immediately
made, and he proceeded to business ; reading, from
Siertein's Register of November 14, 1818, one of the
most inflammatory extracts are ever • recollect to have
heard, the tenor of which was to incite people to arms,
to defend themselves, necessaiy, meet opponents.

On finishing' the reading of_ this very inflammatory
extract, loud cheers were given by a part of those as-
sembled, the majority, however, much to their credit,
not joining. We now felt anxious to know who this
fellow was, and were shortly gratified; for it appears that
it was necessary he should vindicate his character from
some vile aspersions, and that he was one of those ap-
prehended with Hunt, bloorhouse, Ste. in 1819. His
name, we learned, is Healey, and he comes from York-
shire; he was tried atYork with Hunt,Moothouse,Saxton,
Bamford, and the other worthies, who so strenuously
endeavoured to excite insurrection in this part of the
country in 18E9. Let him beware how be again commits
himself, the laws of the country are not to be trifled with.
—The vindication, which he called it, by the bye, was
very lame and unsatisfactory ; being finished, he said,
" Now is the time for any one to propose a resolution."
Haring repeated this two or three times, 'and no one
coming forward, the meeting broke up, and the people
returned peaceably to their homes, evidently not much
edified, and no doubt greatly to the mortification of
Healer, We trust we shall pot have again to recur to
this subject.
Sines oar We, nuke Tory Utelltifil gotten tarn has sealed

SMUGGLING-GOVERNOR MAXWELL.

---

FROM THZ OLASGIOWCOWRIZIL

The Leeward Island Papers told us about themove-
mints of Governor Maxwell to visit the different islands
comprehended in hie government, in which trip it was
generally supposed that his Excellency was fishing for
something more gratifying than mere inspection. From
Tortola the Governor proceeded to the Danish island
of Sr. Thomas, where the courteous Dane gave a dinner
.and ball in honour of his British visitor. This was all
well. From Sr. Thomas Governor Maxwell proceeded
to Santa Croix, and from thence back to St. Kitts, the
seat of his Government. He landed, but in carting up
the baggage an unlucky package was jostled out of the
cart just into the fingers of Searcher Ranille, who having
caught the Rosebill, British property, was not likely to
allow this package to escape him, being foreign pro-
perty. The cart 'was stopped the Governor's—a
British Governor's, baggage was searched, and the fol-
lowing Fureign articles attempted to be smuggled into
his house by the Governor were fotmi and seized, viz.
24 Cases Claret; 3 Cases giampaigne•' 14 Pieces Linen; I
Craps Shawls; $ Yards Green Silk; 1 lb. Black Silk; 4 Boxes
Rau de Cologne; 1 Dozen Cherry Brandy ; 12 Hams ; 1 Chest
Tea, 13 lbs. 1 Box containing 12 Chests of 2 lb each ; 2 Boxes San.
iygesp I Baskets Oil , 1 Box Prunes ; 1 Bag Almonds ; 2 Boxes
Raisins • 1 Case Macaroni; 1 Case Vermicelli: 1 Case Olives;
Cases Capers ; 1 Box Spermacettl Candles; I Pieces Cade"
Value of Horse and Cart, included In the seizure, 222 dollars.
The Governor wished to get off by tendering the
duties, and the miserable subterfuge that the order
permitting the landing of his baggage, included also
his stores. Mr. Randle, however, was not to be put off
so, and the Governor was ultimately compelled to give
bond to abide by the decision of the Lords of the Trea-
sury, which we hope will be that both the goods and the
Governor will be re-exported as foreigners. Our Free
Trade Acts cut up the trade of the mother country, and
the British merchant in the mother country, suffi-
ciently severely, without the Representatives of our
Sosereign smuggling, for their own private use, fo-
reign commodities into our Colonial possessions under
their cantroul!

Larezwricit, JULY 20.—Tues lay evening, a person
named (biker went into a public house, called the Three
Cranes, where he met a young man of the name of
Jays, with whom he had some altercation. Jays called
him a rascal, upon which the latter struck him on the
face, and made his nose bleed profusely. While Jays
was getting the blood washed off his face in the yard,
Quilter set out on his return home, and was followed by
Jays, who swore he would 66 do for him." Jays was
accompanied in the pursuit by two other persons ; and
having overtaken Quilter in the suburbs of the town,
they made a furious attack upon him, giving him a
violent blow on the jugular vein, why' brought him
senseless to the ground. Quilter continued to linger
till half past ten a clock, when he expired.
There are twenty-three prisoners for trial at Leicester
Assizes, fourteen of whom are men charged with riot-
