Graham's directions. This rumour has created a great sen-
sation in the neighbourhood of Congleton and Sandbach, and
it is expected that some public demonstrations of satisfation
will f„llow his resignation, whenever it shall take place.
Indeed, it seems pretty generally to be thought that gentle-
men who have set themselves in direct opposition to the
highest authorities in the state, and have treated with con-
tempt the direetions of the Home Secretary, should no
longer be continued in those high and important t •
s ations,
even if their own sense of delicacy did not
resign after the signal affront they have r • eceived. There

HIS THE MAJESTY -KING OF HANOVZ2.—IIim Majesty
arrived in this country once more on Friday. The whig-
radical journals are now most industriously.encleavouring to
make it appear that his Majesty's reception is of is character
as far from complimentary to the feelings of her Majesty's
royal and illustrious uncle as it would be disgraceful, were it
true, to those who could have acted in therm anner so falsely
described by the radical portion of the ps. The writer of
this paragraph was at Buckingham Palace on Saturday after-
noon at the time the King of Hanover took his departure, in
the same carriage with her Royal
Highness the Duchess of
Glocester, after luncliiiv, with her Majesty, his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness
the Duchess of
Kent. At this period some thous/olds of persons, of all
grades of society. were assembled in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of tho
Palace Anxiously awaiting the departure of
the Court for Claremont, which had been delayed for up-
wards of an hour idler the expected time, in consequence of
his Majesty's visit to his illustrious niece. Upon the car-
riage, containing the King of Hanover and the Duchess of
Gloeester, passing through the marble arch, several hundreds
of those who had assembled at that spot partially closed round
the moatwws of the royal equipage, and greeted his Majesty
in the o respectful and affectionate manner, taking off
their bats and saluting the King with every appearance of
warmth and attachment. His Majesty returned the saluta-
tions which greeted him throughout his route in the most
affable and courteous manner, and appeared evidently much
pleased at his gratifying reception amongst his own countr
men after an absence (of within a few days) of six yearys:
His Majesty, who looked remarkably well, and who walks
firmly and uprightly, as in his younger days, will enter u
his 73d year this day, having been born on the sth of June,pon
1771. His Majesty Isiah abouring slightly under the effect

It was during the late visit of the Xinf of Prussia to this
