CAROLINE, R. Signed in the presence of HENRY HOL LAND, MD., August 5, 1821. A Codicil to my last Will: I give and bequeath to William Austin, all my plate and household furniture at Brandenburgh-house, and also all unused linen. I direct my executors to make application to his Majesty's Government to pay to them such sum of money as at the time of my decease I may have paid, or which they may be called to pay for the purchase of my house in South Audley-Street; and I give and bequeath sum of money, as my said executors shall procure and obtain in that respect, unto them my said executors, in trust for William Austin, according to the provisions of my Will: such sum to be considered a specific legacy. And in case the Government shall refuse to repay such sum, I direct my executors to sell my interest in the said house, and also the furniture and things therein. And I give and direct the proceeds thereof to be paid and applied to and for the use of the said William Austin in like manner, as a specific legacy; but in case the Government shall repay the purchase-money of the said house, and in that case, the proceeds which may be realised by the sale, are to fall into the general residue of my estate. Dated 7th day of August, 1821. CAROLINE, R. Witness, HENRY U. THOMPSON, Kensington. It is understood, that during her confinement she expressed a wish in the first instance, to be buried at Windsor beside the Princess Char lotte; but from the fear that government would oppose this, she has desired, in her will, that her remains should be carried to her family mausoleum, at Brunswick. We lament sincerely, to add, that, after much altercation between the executors, some of her household, and his Ma jesty's ministers, the solemn ceremo nial of the funeral was interrupted by riot, and defiled by bloodshed. Mi nisters directed that the royal re mains should be conveyed from the metropolis, under the protection of a military escort, by a suburban route; her Majesty's partizans, however, insisted that the procession should pass through the city, and receive those civic honours which the corporation had voted it in their This was the common council. chief, if not the sole subject of controversy. Accordingly, on the day of the funeral, large assemblages took place, and, after several altercations over the royal corpse, which con tinued from seven in the morning till two in the afternoon, the populace succeeded in leading the procession The triumph, through the city. however, was not a bloodless one→→→ we regret to say, that during one of the conflicts, which took place near Cumberland-gate, in Hyde Park, the military fired, and two men were killed. If ever there was a place where human passions should have subsided, and human enmities have been appeased, surely it was in the presence of the awful relics of poor mortality. Even in the course of the journey to the sea coast, there was almost a scuffle over the dead body in a church!! The executors, in the course of the night, affixed to the lid of the coffin a plate, inscribed with the sentence directed in the Queen's will-this was displaced by the authorities, after a strong protest from the former gentlemen. Accounts have been received of the arrival of the body and household, in the roads of Cuxhaven. Inquests are holding on the two victims to this unhappy altercation; and we have just heard, that the verdict of one of the juries is, wilful murder against a LifeGuard's-man unknown; the other inquest is still sitting, and from the multitude of witnesses to be examined, is likely to continue so much longer. We have now to turn from this scene of woe, to one of joy and festivity. We announced long since, the intention of the sovereign to pay his Irish metropolis a visit; and we have now to add, that he has executed that intention. He landed at Howth, on the 12th of August, heing his birth-day, and intended to have done so in private, in consequence of the Queen's decease. But privacy, in such a case, was impossible; the entire Irish coast was one scene of incessant observation from the moment it was announced that he was upon the seas," and on his arrival, in the steam boat, to which, in consequence of unfavourable winds, he transferred himself from the yacht, all Dublin literally poured forth its population to greet him. The enthusiasm of the people appears to have amounted almost to madness, and the King himself appears, as if infected by the occasion, to have "doffed" the Sovereign almost altogether. He shook hands cordially with the very lowest of the people, and is reported even to have shed tears! Be this as it may, we certainly give the King full credit for the sincerity of his feelings-it was impossible, when the heart was upon the lips of 100,000 people, altogether to have abjured the excitation. On landing, he shook hands affectionate ly with Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and expressed great delight at the enthusiasm of his reception. On entering his carriage, he turned round to the multitude, and holding out both his hands, exclaimed, in the most emphatic manner-" God bless you-God bless you all." The whole procession insisted on attending him to the Phoenix Park, a distance of nine miles, and there an instance of very rare delicacy, on the part of such an assemblage, is related to have occurred. The people, on arriving at the entrance to what might have been considered his private demesne, suddenly paused, as if unwilling to intrude any further, which the King observing exclaimed, -"Come on, my friends, come home with me never mind the grasswalk wherever you like."-It was quite unnecessary to repeat the invitation; the whole assembly went "home" with him; and those only who have witnessed such an assem bly in Ireland, can have any idea of what it is. Upon his Majesty alighting from his carriage, he thus addressed his convoy, from the entrance of the Lodge Yeomanry-I cannot express to you the My Lords and Gentlemen, and my good gratification I feel at the warm and kind reception I have met with on this day of my landing among my Irish subjects.-I am obliged to you all. I am particularly obliged by your escorting me to my very door. I may not be able to express my feelings as I wish. I have travelled far. I have made a long sea voyage-besides which, particular circumstances have occurred, known to you all of which it is better at present not to speak. Upon those subjects I leave it to delicate and generous hearts to appreciate my feelings. This is one of the happiest days of my life. I have long wished to visit you-my heart has always been Irish. From the day it first beat. I have loved Ireland. This day has shown me, that I am beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank, station, honours, are nothing; but to feel that I live in the hearts of my Irish subjects is, to me, the most exalted happiness. I must now once more thank you for your kindness, and bid you farewell. Go and do by me as I shall do by you-drink my health in a bumper: I shall drink all your's-in a bumper of good Irish whiskey. His Majesty delivered this speech with admirable grace, and with ardent emotions of strong feeling. The last few words were jocularly addressed to some of the lower class, who thronged round him with looks and expressions of the strongest loyalty and affection. After this his Majesty retired, and the multitude dispersed. He has since made his public entry into Dublin. The scene is represented as having been magnificent in the extreme, but the length to which we have already gone admonishes us, that any adequate description of these singular national festivities would be impossible within the limits which we prescribe for this ar◄ ticle. Before we conclude this notice, we cannot omit a fine instance of practical wisdom, which variegated the mirth of an Irish gentleman upon the occasion. Perceiving Lord Londonderry in the crowd, and fancying, from the characteristic complacency of his smile, that he must be in rather a facile humour-he delibe " rately walked up to him, and thus addressed him:-" Well, my Lord Londonderry, it is twenty years since you have set foot in our city of Dublin,-will you grant me one favour for it now?"" What is that? "Why, repeal the windowtax!"—" I will," said his Lordship, upon my honour-if it be in my power." This was received with such shouts, that we should suppose the latter part of the sentence was not very distinctly heard. We have of ten had occasion to admire his Lordship's presence of mind, but never 66 more so than during this occur➡ rence. We have now, we believe, rather exceeded our usual bounds, but, fortunately for us, there is no other very material article of domestic intelli gence, if we except the melancholy loss of the Moira packet, between Liverpool and Dublin. The details, however, are so very vague, that we should rather fear to mislead the relatives of the unfortunate passengers, were we, at present, to give them as authentic. BIRTHS. July 24.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT. HARVEST is actually begun, or rapidly approaching, throughout the whole of the kingdom; and never, perhaps, did the earth bear a more abundant promise. The wheat crop is said to be partially affected by the red rust; but we have reason to think this disorder is neither considerable in its effects, nor operating over any extensive district. Upon the heavy soils the crop is a good deal down; but no season was ever more propitious to the light lands, where the appearance in every way is most bountiful. The barley is an immense crop; and though the usual amount will be a little shortened, by the increased breadth of Talavera wheat sown last spring, there is yet every reason to be lieve that the supply will fully meet the demand. The rains have been particularly favourable to the turnips; and the improved system of cultivation, by the adoption of the Northumberland ridges, and the use of the horse-hoe, has added indefinitely to the increase. There has been a good deal of experimenting with respect to the distance of the rows; and we have heard of one instance especially, Mr. Clark, of Bergh Apton, in Norfolk, who has planted his Swedes at the apparently immense width of three feet and a half. His success, however, completely bears out the theory; and so vast is the size of the plants, that many hundreds of agriculturists have been attracted to VOL. IV. his farm, to inspect the progress of his Mr. Webb Hall has transmitted a circular letter to the Chairman of the Agricultural Associations, dated Aug. 1. His object is, to excite the landed interest to increased and more powerful efforts to obtain redress from Parliament. Let not the tenantry be deceived; the road to their prosperity lies through reduction of expense, not through elevation of the price of their commodity. The Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, however inconclusive upon other points, is quite decisive as to that particular; and Mr. Hall is merely striving to keep up a feverish and useless delusion.
