The exercise of authority by Magistrates on Pub-
licans has been lately brought to notice by one of our
correspondents, for whose observation's On the subject,
we believe, the public in general, as well as the• Pub-
licans will be much obliged. The following case of
this kind, which we copy from The Morning Chromick
of this day, is, from the interesting circumstances with
which it is connected, calculated to fix the attention
still more strongly on the nature and effects of the li-
censing system :
ANOTHER GREEN BAG PLOT.

At the General Meeting of the Justices in the Com- I
mission of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, acting
for the division of Kensington, held at the Hammer-
smith Coffee-house, Hammersmith, on Saturday the Bth
instant, for the purpose of granting licenses to the pub-
licans of the Hamlet and neighbourhood—we have been
informed, that the proprietor of one of the most respect-
able of the licensed houses in the district was subjected
to a most iagnisitorial examination before his license
I was granted to him. The circumstances are these:—
The Coffee-home Keeper was called before this Quo-
rum of Magistrates, and informed., that information had
reached his Majesty's Government that Sir Robert. Wil-
son bad attended a private meeting at his house, pur-
porting to be a meeting of the inhabitants of Hammer-
smith, when the door was carefully kept from all in-
truders, and that at that meeting the obstructions which
afterwards took place in the progress of the procession
of her late Majesty's funeral were planned. To this
the Tavern Keeper • replied, that Sir R. Wilson
had never been in his house; that the meeting was,
in the fullest sense of the word, a public one ; and as
a proof of it, some of the gentlemen connected
with the public press attended, and reported the proceed-
ings. The solemn asseveration of the Landlord was not
thotight sufficient by the Magistrates present. A long
adidavit was drawn up, and without any copy bring
given to the party, he was upon the instant required to
swear to it, and sign it. This affidavit was corrobora-
tive of his own statement above alluded to, and he was in-
furmed that lie wont(' hear fulther of this affair.
To this we have to add, that a tradesman at Hammer-
smith was peremptorily sent for by the Magistrates,
and examined relative to his knowledge of the affair.
Another publican in the same hamlet has received no-
tice, thrit if lie continues to exhibit any placards in favour
of the late 12tt•en or her friends, he must expect that hie
license will be is danger. ---
Tbe Meetings of Magistrates, which have been for a
long time held at Hammersmith, are in future to be re-
moved to Kensington
lt'e learnt the above particulars at too late an hour
last night, to do more than give the mere detail; our
readers, however, will easily supply the comment."

clan LATE 31.4.1xsTY.—Mr. Hieronymus, Mademoi-
selle Brunet, Songez, the Moorish attendant, and other
domestics who accompanied her Majesty's remains to
Brunswick, have returned to Brandenburgh-horse. Lord
and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, Mr. Austin, Mr.
Wild, and Dr. Lushington, arrived by the way of Paris,
on Friday, at Dover, by the Rob Roy steam packet from
Calair, accompanied by Count Vassali, and Captain
Ilesse, and are expected in London this day. Imme-
diate measures will be taken by the executors to carry
into effect the directions contained in her Majesty's will,
of the disposal of the property. None of the servants
are yet discharged, nor has any arrangement of a peen•
niary nature yet taken place with respect to them. lU-
hitos, her late Majesty's principal cook, has WIS 19110410!

situation at Brunet hotel, Leicester-square.
The subscription for a lasting testimonial of the affec-
fectionate regard of the inhabitants of Hammetsmitia for
her late Majesty proceeds with more spirit than the
mostsauguine expectations of the Committee could have
anticipated. It is not yet determined where this monu-
ment is to be placed : it was the wish of the inhabitants
to fix it in the centre of the hamlet, in the Broadway.
but this will, it is expected, be opposed by the Bishop
of London, who is Lord of the Manor, and has the right
of 4.roitti. A nook in the Church will not be accepted,
particularly as the situation would be selected by the
Rector, and the object of the subscribers might thus be
frustrated. The Committee are, it is understood, in
treaty, for a piece of freehold ground, in a very conspi.
cnous situation, on which to erect the cenotaph in con-
templatiou. Mr. Rossi and several other artists have
sent designs for the approbation of the Committee, and
no time will be lost in making the selection.
Last Tuesday, in the evening, a meeting was held at
the Union-rooms, liichmond-hill, in this town, at which
from 3 to 400 persons attended, Mr. James Mann, in
the Chair; when it was determined unanimously, "in
order to consolidate and organise the great mass of re-
formers in one indissoluble union, and to render their
efforts irresistible, to form " themselves lot* a branch of
the great Northern Union, (as recommended by Mr.
Hunt), to be nominated the Leeds Central Committee of
Radical Reformers."—The Members of this Anion are to
corttribute one penny a week towards raising a fund " in
order to return tried friends of the people to the Rouse
of Commons at the next general election," and the sub-
feriptions, by a general organized system, to be made
as extensive as possible. In a letter from Mr. Haut,'
which was read to the meeting, it was observed, “ drat
if the Ureat Northern Radical Union consisted of
100,000 members, each contributing one penny a week,
the radicals might, at the next election, send from three
to ten members of limit own into the House of Com.
mons ; and even if they purchased all the seats! of the
Horoughmongers, which might be worth while for once,
a real Reform in Parliament would be obtainedgwithin
six months. These subscriptions would amount to
21,633/. 6s. W. a year, enough to purchase seats for
five radical members, who might be Sir Charles Wollesley,
Mr. Hunt, Mr. Cobbett, Major Cartwright, and Mr.
Wooler." In these views the meeting coincided, and
after electing a treasurer, secretary, &c. they voted
thanks to Henry Runt, Esq. for his intrepid support of
the rights of the people; to Sir Charles Wollesley, for,
his patriotic exertions in the cause of liberty; to Mijor
Cartwright and Mr. Cobbett, for their services to the
country ; to Mr. Wooler sad Mr. Carlile, for their ad.l
vocacy of the cause of reform ; sod to Mr. Alderman
Wood, for his services to our late pereeuted Queen.—

On Wednesday afternoon; about 4 o'clock, the
Royal squadron, having on Tuesday night off the
the Land's End shipped a sea, put back to Milford
Haven. On Thursday evening the King landed and
proceeded immediately in his travelling carriage for
town, accompanied by Lord Graves sad others of his
suite. His Majesty appeared to suffer from his tem-
pestuous voyage, and was expected to stop two nights
on his way. It was understood at Milford that his
Majesty would sleep that night at Dynewor Castle.—
, On Friday afternoon his Majesty passed through Chel-
tenham, where he was addressed, while changing
horses, by the Master of the Ceremonies, in the name
of the inhabitants and visitors ; and on Saturday re-
turned to his Palace in Pall-mall evening.
The Royal squadron., it appears, had reached within
30 miler of the Land's-end, when, from the boisterous
state of the weather, it was obliged to put about, and
return to Milford Haven, where it arrived at 4 v. as. on
Wednesday. At five next morning, his alajesty landed
amidst the cheers of thousands of spectators. A band
of music was in attendance, which played several na-
tional airs, and his Majesty appeared to receive the
marked attention which was paid to his Royal person,
with much gratitude. He bowed frequently, and
looked remarkably well. Three carriages were landed
from the fleet, one of which was his Majesty's pri-
vate one, and in a short time his Majesty drove off.—
TheiCing slept on Thursday night at Brecon. His
Majesty travelled so rapidly, that when he arrived
within a mile of Gloucester his horses were so coin-
pletely knocked up, that he was obliged to wait till
fresh horses were sent for. He passed through Glou-
cester about one o'clock, and intelligence of his Ma-
jesty's landing and of his route to London reached
Cheltenham before his arrival at that place and great
preparations were made to render his Majesty a very
distinguished reception. His Majesty, however, pass-
ed through Cheltenham two hours sooner than expected,
and informed the Master of Ceremonies, in reply to
his address, that he was too much fatigued with his
voyage and journey to allow of his making any stay
there. His Majesty slept on Friday night at Chapel
House, Oxfordshire.

The Royal George has provtd herself a complete
sea boat in her rough and boisterous passing from
Dublin. Some idea of the violence of the gale which
the Royal squadron encountered, may he funned
from the circumstance that the forecastles of the two
frigates, the Active and Liffey, were completely un-
der water, from the pressure of canvas they were
obliged to carry in brder to keep up with the Royal
George.
On Tuesday evening, when the Royal squadron was
at sea, a seaman belonging to the Active frigate fell
overboard from the main-yard-arm- and was drowned,
sus the weather was too bad to admit a pOssibility of
lowering a boat to save him, and the ship going so fast
through the water.
The yacht of Sir William Curtis, after weathering
tisk kseavy gale of Tuesday night, in the Irish Chantsol,
waved safe off the Isle of Wight on Friday, being the
only one of the fleet assembled in Dublin Hay upon
the late occasion, which has made her passage to the
lace of rendezvous. . . .._ ..

HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CONTINES7'.

The following accounts received last night, by a
Flanders mail, are quite at variance with the reports
of his Majesty having relinquished his intontion of
visiting Hanover this year :

BRCSAILLB, SEPT. 12.—A letter from Lille of the
9th, says, •• Orders from the Government have ar-
rived at Calais, to make all the necessary preparations
for the reception of his Majesty the King of England,
who is expected in the coarse of this week."
FILANKFORT, Seer. Temple, the British
Charge d'Affaiers, has just been officially informed,
that the King will arrive here between the 2241 and
25th of this month. Hit Majesty, accompanied by
Lord Liverpool and the Marquess of Londonderry, and
several members of the Privy Council, will put np At
the Roman Emperor Hotel. From this city his Ma-
jesty will go to Louisburg and Homburg, to visit his
sister; after which he will return to our city, whence
he will continue his journey by way of Giessen, Mar-
burg, and Cassel to Munden. At Cassel great prepa-
rations are making, and at Munden, being the fron-
tier town, Ms Majesty will be received by the Deputa-
tions from Hanover. Then he will proceed towards
Gottingen, and stop not fat fkom that town, at the
house of the Government, in the village of Wehnde.
From the village he will go to Gottingen Itself, and
then by the Harr to Hanover.

Bacssets, Barr. 13.—1 t appears twain, that his
his Majesty the King of England, under the title of the
" Earl of Dublim" will arrive in this capital en the 19th.
Every preparation to receive him has &tread' bees made
' in the hotel of Lord Clancarty, the British Ambassador.
It is added that his Majesty will remain at Brussels the
19th and 20th, and continue on the 21st his journey to
Germany.

Oor readers will recollect, that Captain Parry, on
his lamer voyage (and we suppose on the present),
was furnished with certain papers, which were to be
thrown overboard in different situations, with a view
&Witten of conveying information as to the progress
of the expedition, as of endeavouring to ascertaia
the strength and direction of the currents of the
Ocean : the former object is now happily at an end,
but the latter is growing every day more and more
interesting. We are glad, therefore, to be able to
statey that one of these papers, which appears to have
been thrown overboard from the Hecla, on the 16th
of June 1819. in lat. 58 deg. 13 min. N. long. 46
deg. 55 min. W. was found on the south-east shore of
the island of Tenerife, on the 29th of July, 1821.
and transmitted to England by the mercantile house
of Palley, Little and CO.

MARKET.

This charming piece of comic mecholism, together
with the heavenly strains of Moziar, is Itely .t) prove
highly attractive, and render a most iftegn:ti. cat treat
to the dramatic conuoiseur. The dresses reat,
though magnificent, and the piece.rendereol by
the attention of the stage department. It wooed .onkina
under etch circumstances to canvas ouio•.n e:y• the
trivial errors of auv of the performers. . %vie is

her varied powers in the duets with Mr 4. 11A0itteK
brought forth the most deserved applause This lady
is also a clever actress and good singer, and in troll we
must congratulate the manager on such a powerful ac-
quisition of talent. Mr. JONES placed the C.)eni in his
usual respectable style, but Mr. DECANIPS Figgre was
incomparable ; his eccentricities never appe:ore:l to so
much advantage, and his musical correctne=s tilled us
with as much surprise as admiration. Mr. TavLeJaa, a
new per former, represented the Drunken Ga: deter: He
appeared as much at home as if lie had be.-n liberally
supplied with the aqua vita! of Ileilge's and Co.; the ease
of his manner and the touches of science whit h he often
displays, will render him an acquisition to those Ilona-
gers who so anxiously look after large bargains. 'floe
piece was well supported by the performers gentorall.v,
and if it has not an extensive run it must be attributed
to a want of public taste in giving preference to buf-
foonery. •

EXTRAORDIN.III r OCCURRENCE.

-,-,
•

The nnfortunate young culprit, Lee, found guilty &*
robbery and cruelty, last Surrey Assizes, was, our r•it-
dens will recollect, executed on Monday last, at Horse-
monger-lane. His mother being confined on a bed cf
Wiless, and almost heart-broken,. his dejected father
and friends were unable to provide the means of Chris-
tian burial. Mr. Walter, Governor of the prison, ordered
an Undertaker to provide a decent funeral, and that his
relations shonld see the deceased, and be allowed to fu-
low him to his grave; Mr. W. undertaking thilithe
would see the Undertaker paid his charge. In conse-
quence of this, the body was carried to the Undertaker's
house; and on Tnestlav, the father, sisters, and frien Is •
attended the Undertaker, to see the body, and to know
when it was his pleasure it should be buried ; but ob-
tained no satisfaction. The next day they applied at
the prison, and Mr. Walter being out of town, Mr. Cave,
the Deputy Governor, sent them to Mr. Memnon the
Officer at Linion Hall. who on Wednesday accompanied
theM to tin, Undertaker, where they were told the
co (ready lready been buried. Upon their pressing to
kitor-er whet* the Untie woeild give theta
no satisfaction; and &lemon with his usual acuteness,
suspecting that all was not right, continued to be on
the look out. The afflicted parents and friends became
doubly anxionsas to the remains of their deceased relative.
They repeatedly called on the undertaker in vain, and
agrin applied to Glcanon, who found the burial had
not taken place, but was to be private on Saturday
evening. With that circumspection which dictates ail his
movements, he, accompanied by Mr. Crisp, followed
the worthy undertaker, who hail procured soldiers front
Thames-street, to carry the coffin to the next burl It
ground, where he had obtained a receipt for 103 , the
money paid, which receipt was dated four days bakir.—
Glennof and Crisp proceeded to the burial-ground Where
the coffin was just laid down and the grave-digger bulr
at work. They considered ceremony unnecessary, and
broke open the coffin which they found filled with clay
and rubbish, but no bodz.• The amiable undertaker
would willingly have covered his retreat, hut Messrs.
(Mention and Crisp considered a few minutes couver3a-
tion with the. Magistrate would better answer Go
ends of jetstice and litunanity and without any apology
for the liberty, brought the andettaker direct to Union
Hall, where he was examined by Sir John Pinhorue, the
Magistrate, and committed to the same quarters from
whence he so lately removed the body of the culprit de-
ceased.

The occupyers of land in Sussex are considerably
increasing their bopplantations ; about fourteen years
ago the number of Acres planted with hops in that
county did not exceed 5,400, and at this time there are
micro 0,300 thus cultivated.
Conx-Exeitaxas, Sam 17.—Our market was very
largely supplied with Wheat to-day from Essex, Kew,
and Suffolk, the chief part of which consisted of this
year's growth. the vittaliti of which was tolerably fine,
vet, notwithstanding the unsettled slate of the weather,
the sales were very heavy, and Friday's prices could not
be obtained by full ss. per quarter, but what was dis-
posed of was at an advance of full 2s. per quarter. on
that of Monday's quotation.—Barley, Beans, and White
Peas are considerably dearer, and Grey. Peas are Is. per
quarter higher than on this day se'nnight, bpt are 2s.
per quarter lower than on Friday.—The Oat trade was
heavy at an advance of 2s. per quarter on last Mon-
day's prices.
