METROPOLITAN OCCURRENCES.

His Majesty arrived at Greenwich from Scotland in excellent health and spirits. By order of the home secretary of state, Sir R. Birnie, chief magistrate at Bow-street, attended with a large body of dismounted and other patrole. Detachments of foot guards and royal marines occupied stations within the Hospital grounds. The veteran inhabitants of the Hospital were drawn up in their best apparel, within the railings. The Lord Mayor, on board the city barge, proceeded down the river below Blackwall, and attended in the capacity of conservator of the Thames, to conduct his Majesty back to Greenwich. The river opposite the Hospital presented a pleasing spectacle. Boats in considerable numbers moored as closely as they were allowed to do on each side the stairs, at which his Majesty was to land. They were chiefly filled with ladies. Immediately off the stairs, the Admiralty barge, the yacht of Sir Richard Goodwyn Keats, K. B. governor of the Hospital, the Navy Office barge, and the Thames Police yacht, were moored in readiness for the arrival of the royal squadron, information having been conveyed by the Comet steam packet to Sir Richard Keats that his Majesty was expected to arrive every minute. A short time* after this communication had been made, the Royal Sovereign, with her yards nicely squared, the national standard flying at the main, and the commodore's broad pennant at the fore top, hove in sight, towed by the James Watt steam packet. Almost at the same moment discharges of artillery were heard saluting his Majesty as he passed Woolwich. Just before the Royal Sovereign reached Blackwall, the Lord Mayor, in the city barge, towed by the Eagle, drew gently off into the centre of the river, and taking the lead, preceded

the royal squadron until it arrived at Greenwich. A few minutes afterwards the spectators were gratified with a full view of the Royal Sovereign moving majestically round the point of land below Greenwich, preceded by the stately city barge, with her profusion of gaudy flags and streamers flying, and surrounded and followed by hundreds of vessels of every description. The royal yacht was fast moored immediately off the Hospital stairs, and the King appeared upon the quarter deck, in the uniform of an admiral. A loud and almost unanimous burst of applause from the spectators was acknowledged by the King in his usual affable manner. Soon after his Majesty descended the accommodation ladder to the Admiralty barge, accompanied by Lord Melville, Mr. Croker, &c. &c. and was immediately rowed ashore. The royal carriage immediately drove off amid loud cheering.

Parliament is prorogued from Tuesday the 8th day of October next, to Tuesday the 26th day of November

next.

His Majesty has been pleased to appoint the Right Honourable George Canning one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state.

side of Cockspur-street, nearly opposite Spring-gardens. It will have a grand front with pillars.

The College of Physicians is to be on the south side of Pall-mall East, at the back of the Union Club. Each of the above buildings will have a front that will face the east, so as to form one side of a street to run from Cockspurstreet to Pall-mall East.

The Union Uuiversity Club, at the corner of Suffolk-street, is proceeding very rapidly.

Alterations are making at Coventgarden Theatre, as well as at Drurylane, but not upon so large a scale as the latter. Among the alterations at the former Theatre is the removal of what is styled the "basket," the boxes behind the dress boxes in front.

PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES.

BEDFORDSHIRE.

The Rev. H. W. Whinfield, M.A. has been promoted to the rectory of Tyringham cum Filgrave, with the rectory of Battlesden cum Patsgrave, Bedfordshire.

payment of all expenses, amount to £100. 12s. 6d. which sum has been laid Out amongst the different trades-people in the town of Derby, by the direction of the Ladies' patronesses, in the purchase of materials for clothing the distressed Irish.

DEVONSHIRE.

The Rev. John Cummins has been promoted to the rectory of Rackenford.

-Mr. Honeywell, a respectable farmer, in the neighbourhood of Kingsbridge, has now apples enough on seventy trees to make seventy hogsheads of cider.

DURHAM.

A seam of coal, six feet three inches in thickness, was come at lately in the new colliery at Hetton, at a depth of 109 fathoms, or 654 feet, which it is hoped will amply reward the owners of the colliery for the spirited manner with which they have entered into and prosecuted the undertaking. The will of an officer who was killed in a late engagement between Lord Cochrane and a Spanish fleet, was lately proved in the Consistory Court of Durham. This testamentary document, which the unfortunate officer carried in his breast pocket, has been pierced in two different places by the fatal sword which terminated his existence, and it is also slightly marked with his blood.

ESSEX.

A portrait of Petrarch's Laura, by Simon Memmi, has been lately sold for eighty-five guineas, at Wanstead House. The catalogue, speaking of it, says, "By the inscription on the back, it appears, that this beautiful picture was painted by Memmi, for his friend Petrarch, who mentions it in his fiftyeighth ode, and again in the eightyninth. After the death of Petrarch, it was taken to Arquer, and, in 1374, the Florentine Republic sent it to Bocaccio, who also notices it in his Epistles. After the death of Bocaccio, it passed into the hands of Chilimi, from whom it was bought." The auctioneer, perhaps, does not know that the learned dispute whether there ever was such a person as Laura-she is supposed to have existed only in the poet's brain.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

A pear-tree, of the jarganel species, growing in a garden near Gloucester, which bloomed in the spring, and since produced a fine crop of fruit, now presents a singular spectacle of a second blossom of a most beautiful appearance, -The wife of Mr. C. Rowe, of Exe

ter, linen-draper, has been lately delivered of three fine boys, who, with the mother, are likely to do well.- -Mr. Betty, the ci-devant, young Roscius, has again assumed the sock and buskin'; he opened at the Cheltenham Theatre lately, in the character of the Earl of Essex, and was received with great applause.

HAMPSHIRE.

In the garden of Mr. Harris, at Gosport, is some Indian corn now in full ear.- Earl Grosvenor is said to have

purchased the magnificent mansion of Fonthill.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

The hop-picking has generally commenced in this county, and the produce of the plantations will rival the former productions of the best year; the quality of the hops is also excellent.

KENT.

There is now growing in a garden belonging to a gentleman of the dockyard, Sheerness, a species of the gourd genus, the seed of which was brought from Van Dieman's land, in the Dromedary store ship. It is called by the natives of that island, toparra, and bears a beautiful white flower. The gourd is in the form of a bell, measuring ten inches in length, and nineteen in circumference. It is considered a great curiosity, and probably the only one that ever arrived to perfection in this country.

[ocr errors]

LANCASHIRE.

There is an apple-tree growing in the garden of Mr. T. Bevington, at Omer Green, Thornton, near Crosby, of which the stem is only eighteen inches high, but the branches of which (supported by a frame) extend over a circle of forty-five yards in circumference. This tree has borne an extraordinary quantity of fruit.At Ulverston, apples have been sold at the same price as potatoes, viz. three-pence per hoopWithin the last six years, the money expended by the trustees of the Liverpool Docks, in the article of labour only, amounts to the extraordinary sum of 374,0001. Preston Guild. The festivities consist of a grand musical festival, races, plays, &c. &c. This singular festival, so perfectly unique, that there is no other of the kind in the kingdom, is of the standing of five centuries. It appears from the record of the borough, that there have been twenty guilds in five hundred years; that in the two first centuries they were held at irregular periods, but that since that time, beginning with the reign of Henry VIII. they have been celebrated regularly without intermission, every

twenty years. Time has diminished nothing of the splendour of this ancient festival, which is enhanced in value by the rarity of its recurrence, and of which the inclinations of the native inhabitants, resident and non-resident, dispose them to say, esto perpetua.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

There is now an apple-tree belonging to Mr. White, glazier, of Boston, in full blossom, which has this year borne fruit-also one which has only been planted about two years, in the garden of Mr. Weetes, of Skirbeck, which produced apples this season, and has now blossomed again.- The Earl of Bristol has returned to his Lincolnshire tenants 20 per cent. at his late audit, held at Sleaford...

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

The Rev. W. Thursby, M.A. of Oriel College, Oxford, has been elected to the vicarage of All Saints, Northampton, void by the death of the Rev. C. H Taffnell. -The Rev, J. Watson, D.D. curate of Acle, Norfolk, has been instituted to the livings of Ring. stead-cum-Denford, void by the death of the Rev. Charles Proby, on the presentation of T. Burton, Esq. of Yarmouth.

NORFOLK.

The Rev. S. H. Savory, A.M. has been instituted to the vicarage of Houghton Juxta Harpley, in this county, on the presentation of the Marquis Cholmondeley.. From the Norfolk Agricultural Report we learn, that the wall-fruit and grapes are almost every where abundant; the latter nearly as good as in some seasons we find them in hot-houses. Wheats are of a superior quality. Barley perhaps not more than two-thirds of a crop, and the quality inferior to that of last year. Peas and beans better than was at one time expected, but not an average crop. Turnips falling off from the depredations of grubs and wire-worms.

NORTHUMBERLANDSHIRE.

An annual exhibition for the promotion of the fine arts, is about to be opened in Newcastle.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

Two carrots were lately drawn from the garden of Mr. Hind, of Mansfield, which weighed four pounds, one of them measured,in length sixteen inches, and in circumference ten inches.At Newark, apples have been sold in the' street at three-pence per peck. An apple has been lately gathered in the garden of Mr. C. Greasley, of Sneinton, measuring twelve inches and a half, and weighing eleven ounces.
