ciously pleased to confer on him the honour of Knight-

The King, it is reported, will leave town on Satur-
day next for the Continent, on his way to Hanover.
His Mbjesty, it is said, will embark at Dover for Calais,
and make a short stay at the Silver Lion in that place,

understood that a Council of Regency was appointed
yesterday.
It was on the 31st July that his Majesty left Lon-

has thus occupied a space of (arty-seven days. et whitit
twenty-four were spent in travelling by sea and land.
Yesterday the Dukes of York and Clarence and the

The Court of Berlin has put on mourning for three

without the slightest interruption to harmony.
Duman, SEPT. Is.—His Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant returned to the Park on Thursday evening.
In consequence of the prevalence of contrary winds,
the Royal yacht was compelled to seek shelter in
Lough Swilly, where his Excellency and suite disem-
barked, and proceeded to town by land.
WESTMINSTER ASSET. The different erections
made previous to the Coronation are now undergoing a
removal. The Organ loft andthe other buildings taken
down, are about to be replaced ; bat Westminster
Hall still remains in state quo. The celebrated apart-
ments of .Nos rni ricordo, the amiable Mademoiselle
Demont, and the conscientious Barbara Krantz in
Cotton-garden, have vanished like a vision, "and left
not a wreck behind." The late rains have made the
grass grow on that unhallowed spot, that sink of per-
jury and persecution, while the harassed and perse-
cuted victim has reached that bourne from whence
no traveller returns." If there be a just Clod in
Heaven, which all nature proclaims aloud, the perse-
cutors of that great, that extraordinary woman, must
one time or another feel a compunction which is the
invariable result of injustice and infamy, and a guilty
soul. The actors in that tragic scene may exult in
the wages of infamy ; they may bask in the sunshine
of courtly favour, but a day of reckoning will come
when their perjuries, their subornations, their perse-
cutions, will stare them in the face ; when they will
rift qakiti Mumps whisks shair-gailey bowls; when elm
relentless hand of death shall wave over their bedside,
then will the injuries of the martyr'd Caroline cry out
for retribution.

By auvices from Montreal of the 18th of August,
there had been a dreadful fire at that place : the loss
is estimated at LIAO/. The following stores were
burnt, viz :—Messrs. Allison, Turner, and Co.; Messrs.
John Scott and Co.; Messrs. Scott and Spittal ; and
Mr. Pedders : that of Messrs. Gerrard and Sons was
in imminent danger, but was saved.
Batavia journals of the 28th of April give an account
of a terrible earthquake which took place on the 29th
of December last, on the south coist of Celebes. It did
immense damage, especially at Boelekomba, whit*
the sea rose several times to a prodigious height, and
then falling with incredible rapidity, alternately de-
luged and left the shore, deatioying all the plantations
from Bontain to Boeleekomba. Many hundred persons
have lost their lives. The fort of Boelsekomba was
much damaged, that of Bontain lesi so.
Letters have been received from the Braille to the
21st July. They bring accounts from Valparaiso,
and Lima, from the latter place to the beginning of
May. These accounts, (says a Ministerial paper),
are of a very vague nature, but on the whole, appear
to confirm the former statement of San Martin's having
enibarked his troops and left the wait, and of Lord
Cochrane haiing raised the blockade of the whole Pe-
ruvian coast, in consequence of Which Lima was again
thrown open to the tag of every nation. It was
iniagined that Lord Cochrane hail taken this step on'
account of the determination of Sir Thomas Reidy to
protect British ships from being stopped and examined
by the Chilian vessels of war, for which purpose Mr
Thomas was waiting the arrival of the Superb, whin
he intended to piocited to the Peruvian coast.
The Expedition intended to pursue the mime of

Tender branches that pronds'd to blow ;

Bath the tree sod its branches laid low.

On Sunday, the 9th inst. in consequence of the
heavy rain and the great influx of water from the
locks above into the basin of the Waririck and Bir-
mingham Canal, in the Saltsford, the banks were cver- '
flowed in several placee, and the water ran with
great rapidity down the turnpike-road, towards the
machine-house. At one time the water, in some
place., was thien and four feet deep. Much Aaron was
excited in tie first instance; and, hid the canal bank
given way, much mischief must have been done.
