soon after their arrival embarked on hoard his Ma-

Shortly after the sailing of the packet, her Royal

MR. IIVIEL—We are happy to state that this use-
ful and indefatigable Member of Parliament has been
invited to attend a public dinner at Liverpool, which,
should it take place, will without doubt, be very nu-
merously and respectably attended. The invitation
would reach Mr. Home, we believe, on Illouds.7 last,
bet we have not yet heard whether any reply to it
has been received in Liverpool.—(.Baneliester Guard)
Joseph Home, Esq. M.P., art ired from Ben ick at the

ing on his way to the south. Had time been allowed
to convene a meeting for that pnrpose, we are inform-
ed that an address would have been pr• sented to him
by the reformers of Newcastle, thanking him for his
exertions in behalf of the suffering people of England,
who have been impoverished by a profligate wait- and
expenditure of the public money; and praying his
farther exertions in the public cause to be directed
to an investigation of the secular affailll of the Church
Establishment. sad particularly the tithing system,
by which so large a portion of the national wealth and
resources is absorbed.—(Durham Chronicle.)
It Is with unfeigned regret we state, that Sir J. D.
Astley, Bart., one of the Members for Wilts. has for
the last week been very dangerously ill, at his seat at
Everlitigh. Sir John, it appears, took a violent co'd
at Berdetop Races; and on Tuesday se'ooight he was
seised with great ithiveriags, succeeded by fever and
acute lamination of the lungs. Ilissymptorns have,
'in tome measure, yielded to the treatinist used ; bet
we are sorry that Lis recovery. cannot yet be pro
nounced as eertais.—(H• fried Arercury, Sept 3i).)
A writer in a cotemporary print It as hinted at a en-
moue, that a Chamber of Couraierce to watch over the

about to be established. We are happy to have it in
our power not only to corroborate the report, but to
state that considerable progress Is side towards its
formation : and we sincerly conzratulate the city, that
• :me of its most respectable and independent inbahit•
ants have at length seen the necessity of following
Liverpool. Birmingham, &c. &c. in the adoption of
those enlarged and liberal modes of transacting busi•

the arrival of the Bishop of Malaga and suite in the

his being inspected of advocating the cause of the Lu.
surgents. It is imagioed this Prelate will take np his
residence in the southern part of Praure, as his prox-

was laid on Saturday, the 28th alt. I. the presence
of Dan. Maude, Esq., one of the proprietors, who
stale a very impressive and appropriate address
ea th.. occasion. He stated the important ad-
vantages, that would be derived by the public
st large, from the very great facility and certainty
/v which goods from and to the interior part of
iiiegdom, might be received and sent to all parts of
the world by this new route ; it frequently having oc-
curred that ls are longer making their passage
to where this intended navigation commences at
0..01e ; to Selby, than from London or Hamburgh, to
ooo'r, be,ides this new line of Canal being nearly 20
tiles saving to the interior conveyance of Yorkshire.
These walks be said were an addidosal credit to the
abilities of their Engineer. At the conclusion of his
address be made a very handsome donation to the
many hundreds of workmen employed upon the works,
with a forcible eshortatioa to sobriety and honesty,
'Len all present gave three times three hearty cheers
for the success of the nodertaking.—Sir El. Bioko,

were present on the aeration.
The new navigable cat at Old Windsor was opened

tomato the navigation will be most important.
We noderstand, that there has lately bees eat its
Dolotatls mins, a rich copper ledge, which is said

Itke miners term, all is whole, that is, all in dry
ground.—We have also heard. that there has bees
discovered in the same mine, a .rich lode of tin, about
two hundred fathoms from the surface. It gives us
great pleasure to state these rateable discoveries, as
the livelihood of a large population deride on the
success of this very extensive and valuable mine ;

they must have lain under water a considerable time ;

of landing smuggled goods at any places where the
